Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 905 Patches
Chen Yan asked again:

"How long will it take to make a patch for the mechanical hive omnic disease?"

This time it was the crow who answered the question:
"We have recovered the prosthetic hand of an omnic patient, and now the laboratory is already unpacking the omnic virus program. As long as you dare to ignore the risks and let it go, the patch can be made tonight, and tomorrow morning. The patch is marked with our company's encryption method and product activation code."

Chen Yan immediately relaxed:

"You can do the patching according to what you see, and I will solve the risk."

After Chen Yan said these words, the researchers and the crow finally felt at ease.

Because Chen Yan is not only the chairman of the company, but also the legal person of the company. Once the company violates any regulations or laws, it is Chen Yan who bears the responsibility, not others-according to the Imperial Company Law, other people, as employees, are not responsible. Social losses due to company projects.

After explaining the matter, Chen Yan came to his office on the second floor, sat in the boss's chair, locked the door, took out his mobile phone, and after thinking about the wording for a few seconds, he called Klein.

Who knew that after the standby sound sounded more than a dozen times, it was not connected.

Chen Yan called several times, but still no one answered.

Klein busy?still?

Chen Yan vaguely realized that something was wrong. Klein had less than a month left to live, and now his health was getting worse. He should have been resting in bed at this point. How could he not be able to receive calls... Could it be that something happened in the logistics center? Yet……

After thinking and weighing for a while, he called Fernando D. Magellan, the governor of the island.

The call was quickly connected.

"Lord Governor."

Unexpectedly, before Chen Yan could say a word, Fernando immediately said:
"Is it your fault for this round of omnic disease on Days Island?"

After being recommended by Klein last time (Chapter 889, Klein said that he would introduce someone for Chen Yan), Chen Yan has been tied to the warship of the [Advent Faction] and has become the benefit of the Advent Faction of the Empire on the island. Community, and the position of the governor and the power he possesses, he is destined to hold the life and death of Chen Yan Company in his hands.

Therefore, Chen Yan had nothing to hide.

"No, I was surprised too."

Chen Yan was very surprised by the governor's question, and heard some interesting overtones—could it be that the omnipotent disease that was prevalent in the imperial capital was some kind of "self-stealing"?

Chen Yan's logic is: His Excellency Governor knew the hidden truth about the epidemic of omnipotent disease in the imperial capital, so he questioned him with the same idea.

The voice on the phone was extremely irritated, and Chen Yan could feel his irritability rising from the Governor's voice:

"You really didn't do it? Do you know how serious this time is? Some officials in the logistics center have been tricked, and now the ring of dominance is almost paralyzed! Klein was also tricked, and now lying on the bed is almost The living dead!"

What... Unexpected news. Chen Yan originally thought that Klein was just a cyborg who underwent body modification, but he didn't expect that Klein would have an omnipotent device on him.

What is the omnic device on Klein?Is it a brain machine?Or prosthesis?Or other transformations that Chen Yan has never seen before?
Chen Yan suddenly became interested. He was sure that the omnic transformation on Klein was different from that of normal people, because Klein's transformation came from the Northern Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biology Investigation, not the Byron Weiss Group. There was indeed cooperation between them ("Explanation on the Three-Phase Cooperation between the Group's Neurological Construction Department and the Mechanical Ascension Society", the part of the North Bureau related to this plan is after Chapter 740), but the original three-phase cooperation was for [ White Snake] was produced, and then Bei Er was shot in the head by Cyborg Quinn (Chapter 740). After the White Snake lost its body and was imprisoned in the basement of the Bei Bureau's internal website, the third phase of cooperation ended.

As far as Chen Yan knows, apart from the third phase of cooperation on [White Snake] research, the North Bureau and Byron Weiss Group have not produced other technical cooperation.

It stands to reason that the omnic transformation method of the North Bureau, that is, the [executor] corresponding to the [brain robot] (active duty: Klein code-named [Northern Three]), is characterized by being able to use the power of [idealism], Just from this point of view, [Executor] and [Brain-Machine Man] definitely don't use the same transformation idea, and the specific transformation paths and methods must be different.

Chen Yan thought, there is another important point, that is: [Brain-machine man] is the carrier used to carry the uploaded thinking consciousness of human beings, and the human consciousness is uploaded into the chip through the exclusive technology [mimetic neural network] of Byron Weiss Group brain machine.

And the [executor] of the North Bureau uses the transformed human consciousness—the fact that each generation of [executor] may fall into a state of psychological abnormality at any time, and can use the power of [idealism], proves that at this point.

When several thoughts flashed through Chen Yan's mind, the anger on the phone almost overflowed.

Chen Yan's phone call obviously came at the wrong time, and the Governor-General cast all his irritability and anger on him:

"I'll tell you the ugly words first. If you follow the example of those companies in the imperial capital and mess around in the island chain, I will be the first to spare you!"

People in high positions rarely make such low-level warnings and threats to people who are not as good as themselves. Therefore, Chen Yan is very suspicious of the origin of the governor. Can such low-level words really come out of the mouth of a noble with an orthodox heritage? ?

It's too cheap.

Chen Yan didn't care about such a warning, but continued according to his own thoughts:

"I didn't do it, but I have a solution. My programmers are developing a program patch. The patch will be completed tomorrow morning, and it will be able to cure the symptoms of the current omnic disease infection.

As for patients with omnipotent disease who have already developed the disease and caused certain damage to their bodies, they still need medical treatment and long-term cultivation before they can return to their original physical fitness level.

I think you must understand that the damage to the human body caused by the disease cannot be repaired by a program patch. "

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the other party did not respond immediately.

The other party did not make a sound, and Chen Yan's synaesthesia could not perceive the other party's emotions along the mobile phone signal.

Chen Yan is at his weakest when he can't perceive other people's emotions. He is best at taking advantage of other people's emotional loopholes to sneak in and accumulate his own advantages in a conversation. He is used to this way of speaking, and Once unable to perceive emotions, he will even appear a little dull.

After a brief silence, the other party spoke an order that surprised Chen Yan in a calm voice:
"You can't charge for this patch."

Chen Yan laughed silently:
"Last time, the Governor should have known that I have a laboratory for researching brain-computer technology. I told the Governor at that time that the laboratory would cost 500 pounds a day to maintain and operate it.

The patch was produced by this laboratory working overtime tonight. They are all college students from serious universities. The empire has spent a huge amount of money to subsidize the training of high-level students majoring in bioelectronic technology, and their salaries are much higher than ordinary researchers.

If there is no charge, how can I pay their labor remuneration? "

The governor of Days Island, Fernando D. Magellan, a serious nobleman from the capital of the empire, known for his arrogance and inhumanity, said the words that made Chen Yan unbelievable:

"There are only two companies in the island chain that can be patched, one is Byron Weiss, and the other is your company.

Byron Weiss... They came to me yesterday morning to promote their company's customized island chain Internet firewall, saying that it can defend against omnic viruses from the imperial capital.

They told me that the omnic virus in the imperial capital had been iterated and began to spread through the network, which led to this large-scale infection.

They offered 8000 million pounds, but I didn't agree. The First Island Chain doesn't have that much spare cash. "

Understated numbers, understated rejection.

"Presumably you have also seen the results, and now, the first wave of infections has broken out in the mechanical hive of the iterative omnic disease.

What I can tell you is that this infection is very serious, because the population density of the mechanical hive is too large, much larger than the imperial capital, so the omnic disease with virus attributes can not only spread quickly, but also have an inestimable number Culture medium, the omnic virus will use these culture mediums—in which a part of the omnibus transformation has been carried out—only the implantation of omnipotent prostheses, without brain-machine transformation, iteratively evolves into the original The ability not to have - the ability to infect ordinary carbon-based life forms. "

Chen Yan listened quietly.

From his professional point of view - the omnic virus based on [carbon-based silicon neutralization] technology, that is, carbon-based and silicon-based compatible substances, is indeed possible to iterate in carbon-based organisms and evolve immediately more contagious.

"When I communicated with them again, they raised the quotation to 3 million yuan, and listed a detailed quotation document. Each part of the money has a specific direction of use. The logistics center has no way to refute this quotation document."

Chen Yan said in surprise:
"With the degree of autonomy of the island chain, can't administrative means be used to enforce orders?"

Fernando's voice became deeper and deeper:

"They are protected by the imperial law...they have complete procedures, and all the plans of the company conform to the legal standards of the empire. The quotation document also fully complies with the medical law of the imperial law. I have no way to enforce compulsory administration on them. Order……"

His Excellency the Governor put it another way:
"What's more, the first island chain has just been opened, and everything has been fully integrated with the empire. As the governor, if I forcibly intervene in the market with administrative means, I must leave a story."

Chen Yan listened quietly, and knew very well that there was absolutely no need for the fiery governor to explain this fact to him.

The governor can't handle the Byron Weiss Group because he has no interest relationship with the Byron Weiss Group.

But Chen Yan is different.

The reason why Chen Yan's company can stand out from the large number of small omnipotent prosthetic body workshops in Days Island and become the second largest company besides Byron Weiss Group in a short period of time is the root of the reason. In the end, it is because of the support of the logistics center.

Looking at it from another perspective, the purpose of the logistics center to cultivate private companies like Chen Yan is to let an existence like Chen Yan come in handy when they cannot reach an agreement with a powerful company like Byron Weiss Group that has become a giant in a certain industry by relying on its own ability. use.

Chen Yan understands this fact and is able to recognize his ecological niche better.

So when Fernando D. Magellan suddenly stopped explaining, he knew what to do.

"Patch free, no problem."

Satisfaction immediately appeared in the tone on the other side of the phone:
"It's your acquaintance."

Another low-level expression and demonstration.

Chen Yan couldn't understand why the Governor-General was obviously very smart and had a prominent status, but he always wanted to act like a low-ranking punk.

Chen Yan also said:

"There is another thing: the partner you introduced to me before, an ancient aristocrat of the Northern Federation, one of the joint-stock major shareholders of the second island chain logistics center, the second grandson of the Willemstad family, Louis Sale Wes Willemstad, for some reason, suddenly disappeared—I wanted to talk about working together, but I couldn't get through to him."

The opposite party was stunned by the news and was speechless for a while.

"Ok?"

Chen Yan said:

"I don't want him to have an accident at this time."

The Governor-General heard the second bad news since today, and his mood was even worse:
"Holy Light...what the hell happened to this damned Days Island..."

After a brief silence, the governor finally spoke:
"Leave nothing to do with Louis, and pretend that the previous cooperation never happened."

Chen Yan showed astonishment:

"why?"

The governor's tone was impatient:
"Don't ask so many questions, just do your own thing."

Chen Yan continued:
"After all, it is a partner. I want the logistics center to help me track down Louis' whereabouts. No matter what, I need an explanation."

The voice on the phone suddenly turned cold:
"What are you talking about? Who do you think you are?"

The rage born of irritability broke out unexpectedly:
"You're a fucking dog of mine! I thought I'd reward you with a few bones for Klein's sake, and you fucking kicked your nose in the face?!"

"Do your own thing! I won't repeat it to you a second time!"

"boom!"

The phone was hung up.

Chen Yan turned off the mobile phone screen, but was not thankful for the governor's words "don't worry about Louis anymore".

Fernando D. Magellan, this person's remarks revealed something wrong inside and out. Chen Yan knew that there must be something he didn't know.

The difference in information is often decisive, especially in a place where power is highly concentrated like the Ring of Dominion, there is a world of difference between knowing one thing and not knowing one thing.

Chen Yan decided to visit Klein and ask him about the matter.

……

……

At this moment, the mechanical hive of Days Island, area Z, the deepest part of the Ring of Domination.

Fernando D. Magellan gently put down the phone, and the rage that was still on his face just now disappeared without a trace.

"Come out, the phone has been hung up, he can't hear your breathing."

Hearing the sound, a figure pushed open the door and came in from the small office next to it.

"The Byron Weiss Group branch on Dyce Island has begun delivering antiviral patches to their patients and we will know the effect of the treatment before the end of the day."
