Chapter 79 Kang Tao’s Doubts
Videos of the battle are not difficult to obtain.
As long as the company is willing to invest resources, their cyber hackers will persevere in cyberspace to dig out information from surveillance probes that should be damaged.
As long as the data exists, there is a possibility of recovery - this is what corporate cyber hackers do most of the time.
Either recovering the clues on the current network, or trying to recover the data from the old network era.
Lille had known that such a day would come, but he was also prepared to answer.
He took out the Yinglong directly: "You said this? It's really useful."
"That batch of goods was lost in Atlanta."
Lille spread his hands: "I don't care about this. If you want to buy it back, you can, but the rules of the street are that you don't talk about the origin of things bought on the black market."
"Which black market did you get it from?"< br>
"No comment."
The people in the car frowned. They just said they would cooperate, and now they are here?
Lear immediately said: "But considering our good cooperative relationship, I can tell you some clues-Dog Town."
". The conditions have changed, and the gun Take it out, I want the data inside, otherwise we won’t talk about it.”
“Okay—don’t even think about tampering with it, or you will suffer.”
Lear handed the gun over generously.
He was not afraid at all.
All data in the gun has been deleted and scrambled using interdimensional data channels.
You can try to recover the data, but when part of the used data is calculated and processed in another world, you can't find it even if you try hard to find it.
The result is that their hackers will be scratching their heads like crazy. No matter how they restore it, the data will be distorted.
Lear's calmness is not what this person expected, but it is a possible situation -
Maybe Lear really got the gun from the black market in Dog Town.
This is a big trouble - but everything has to wait until they go back and study it before they can make a decision.
The bodyguard put the gun into the car, and then returned the gun to Lille. During the whole process, the four people on Lille's side were honest.
V, the only one who knows the inside story, completely believes in Lille and does not feel any sense of urgency. Jack and Chesson are completely unaware of what is going on in Atlanta.
No problem - really no problem found at all.
".Okay, that's it, right? I'll send you the location of the pickup point tomorrow."
After saying that, the bodyguard next to the car looked like a robot At the same time, he opened the door and got into the car, and the car drove away.
But in the car, the person who had been doing the talking immediately made a phone call.
The network hackers in the cooling pool of Kangtao Company were contacted by phone - they are restoring the trio's activity route in cyberspace.
But the result is.
". There seems to be some problems with the data we restored. But the name Dennis Burger King can be traced back to when Arasaka Academy began to be active again.
The one on is adult education, Class A license course for technical experts and prosthetists.”
“Double Class A?”
“Double Class A, other information is still being restored, but”
But it's quite difficult, they don't dare to say this.
Not only is it difficult, it is simply hell.
Kangtao, a company that started out as an AI company, encountered insurmountable obstacles in using similar technology to restore data!
“So you didn’t find anything—the anomaly only appeared on them?”
“Not only that, we also observed similar problems in multiple nodes in Santo Domingo. Maybe other places in Night City have this problem too.
This must be new technology - that hacker is very good, and he seems to be still deep diving. "
In other words, nothing was found.
The person in the car had a headache, but he did not make any physical movements, but immediately made another call.
"Sir , there is no conclusive evidence linking these three people to what happened in Atlanta. ”
“What else? ”
"The skinny guy in the lead uses a Yinglong. There is a gun of this style in the goods in Atlanta. He claims to have bought it from Dog Town."
"What about the credibility?"
"I think that kid is a bit smart, but he doesn't look like the guy from Atlanta.
I originally thought he would take advantage of the situation and climb up to us to be a middleman, but he didn't ask for that. Instead, he wanted a Smart ammunition production line
And he didn't do it himself, he hired an arms dealer.
I agreed to this condition. We can deepen our cooperation with the arms dealer. However, in this way, he himself will benefit the least and will always be a mercenary.
If it were the guy from Atlanta, he would probably be the middleman himself and take all the benefits. ”
Relationship is the most important thing.
Even if it is Lille who negotiates this business now, in a year or two, Chessen will benefit from Kangtao It's given here.
If there is a conflict of interest, it is unlikely that Chesson will side with Lille.
It's not like something a smart person would do - if the Atlanta deal wasn't made by military technology, it must have been done by an extremely shrewd person.
That person brought military technology to the bottom. So far, military technology has not disclosed any news, and it seems like it has suffered a dumb loss;
He also pulled a team of hacker experts from somewhere to show off. Along with military technology, he took all the benefits.
This is Atlanta - how many connections do you have to pull to do it? How much information do you need to know about this whole thing to achieve this effect?
But all this is based on the speculation that it was a team of hackers who attacked military technology, not one person. "Dog Town. Things are in trouble. I will give you the resources to continue investigating. If you feel that the suspicion of Burger King cannot be eliminated, continue to pay attention to him.
Is there anything going wrong with Sian Westan? "
"We have everything. The data on James' side is somewhat distorted, but the data on the Qiandai Type 5 is better than the theoretical value given by our engineers. "
"Finally there is good news, at least the R&D department can make progress. ”
“Get rich, get rich.”
In the car, Chessen instantly turned into a money man.
The three people in the car all showed disgusted expressions.
Cheson just thought that these three people didn't understand - but after thinking about it, he felt that Lille should understand.
Lille just said with a lack of interest: "Remember to pay the dividends to the brothers on time. If I die one day, you don't have to transfer the money to me. You have to remember this as long as we live. "It's necessary - but why are you like this?"
Kangtao, a top company from the East, is one of the top giants in Night City. Its fields include robots, small weapons, implanted prosthetics, etc. in almost every aspect of society.
In fact, this company started out as an AI company.
As early as the old network era, Kangtao’s CEO saw the opportunity and became the most advanced AI supplier in the old network era.
Speaking of which, the place where Kangtao started is XMSC in the Marvel world. The two companies are quite similar.
As a unique giant company in Asia, the CEO of Kangtao in the early 21st century withstood the influence of Arasaka, who was expanding wildly.
At the same time, Asian companies were either defeated and acquired by Arasaka, or they were squeezed into other irrelevant fields by Arasaka, or they became their downstream workers.
Until 2023, Arasaka was defeated by military technology in the fourth corporate war, and Kangtao CEO's vision was verified - Arasaka would lose.
Unfortunately, Kangtao's chance to replace Arasaka was ruined by a hacker named Bartmos.
In 2022, Bartmos caused an Internet data collapse. The data he released was absorbed by Kangtao's AI on the Internet and by all AI active on the Internet, causing bad things to happen to the AI. mutation.
The rebellious AI began to attack its creator crazily. Among them, Kang Tao, who had bet on this for a long time, was naturally unlucky——
Strictly speaking, forcing Butmosus to death had nothing to do with Kontao, it was all Arasaka's fault.
But this data collapse directly caused Kangtao’s stock price to fall to the bottom, and the CEO could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide.
Then there was silence.
Until 2046, a former army colonel named Xu took over Kangtao, moved the company headquarters, and completed the asset reorganization with the support of the government.
Not only that, the former colonel also used some methods to dig out the research results of Kangtao in the old network era, and released the A-22B super smart pistol in 2050.
This pistol ended Kang Tao's wasted years and broke Arasaka's monopoly in the field of smart weapons.
Although there are rumors that the smart aiming system of the Super Pistol comes entirely from the old-era drawings of the Arasaka smart pistol "Yukimura", the cheap and sturdy features still make the Super Pistol a popular choice among low-end smart pistols. Take your place.
After all, people who buy guns don’t care whether they plagiarize or not, and Kang Tao himself, who is backed by a giant, doesn’t care if someone accuses him of plagiarism.
After receiving market feedback, the next step was to upgrade the product - in 2058, Kangtao released the G-58 classic submachine gun.
In appearance, this gun still has the shadow of Arasaka's "Shingen" smart submachine gun, but again, it is cheap and sturdy, and it is more reasonable and advanced in ergonomic design.
The classic submachine gun even edged out other competitors and became a specialized firearm for trauma teams.
Finally, when Arasaka was defeated steadily and comforted himself by saying that he could focus on the high-end field of smart weapons, Kangtao ended the history of relying on reverse engineering for research and development.
In 2069, they released their high-end smart weapon: the L69 Zhuo smart shotgun, which was also the first smart shotgun on the market.
How useful is this gun? Even Arasaka's royal murderer, Adam Hammer, chose Kang Tao's Zhuo style. The Eight-Star Gun was the killing weapon tailor-made for him in Kang Tao's contract.
Of course, now Lille also has one, not just one, but four.
And until today, in 2076, Arasaka still has not produced a product corresponding to Zhuo Shi.
Kangtao, who made a comeback by going against the grain, completely defeated his Asian big brother Arasaka in the field of small arms, and together with Arasaka and Tsunami Military, they are known as the three major small arms companies.
So you can imagine how happy Chessen was when he was sure that he had really hugged the thigh of this giant - even if it was just leg hair.
Furthermore, Kangtao also has a characteristic that is not good for other companies, but is very popular in the lower reaches of the industry chain like Chessen.
That is, Kangtao likes to "learn" from other companies' products, and then launch products with better designs and cheaper prices. The borrowed products cannot compete with counterfeit products.
In this way, the large market for Kangtao standards will become broader, allowing suppliers in all aspects of the industry chain to obtain a more stable business environment.
At this moment, Chessen is already imagining that one day Kang Tao can defeat all his opponents
In this case, even if he just makes some bullets, he will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life!
Looking at Chesson going crazy in the back seat of the car, Lear sighed.
A few days ago it was Jack, now it's Chesson.
Can you calm down a little?
Looking at Chesson dancing, Lille put one hand on the car window and said with a straight face: "This way we can be considered friends - I hope you can always be as normal as you are today. Sit in our back seat.”
The seemingly casual words contained a reminder from Lille to Chesson.
"Don't worry - brothers, we were originally from the streets, otherwise we wouldn't have been laid off.
What's that old Eastern saying? Rely on your friends when you go out. Ah.”
Lille did not answer, but said in his heart:
I hope you remember it.
Perhaps he was too happy. The Indian entertainment blood in Chessen's bones suddenly aroused. He approached Lille and asked:
"By the way, I heard that Easterners can Do you know martial arts?”
Liel rolled his eyes at this guy, and Jack and V also showed concern for the mentally retarded:
Brainless.
“I heard that cow urine is provided free of charge when working in an Indian company. Does it taste good?”
Cheson stopped talking.
This time it was the turn of the three Lille people to be suspicious:
You can’t really drink it, can you?
