Chapter 560 Strike from Space
The so-called "Voodoo" of the Voodoo Gang is actually network capabilities that are beyond the level of street gangsters and barely reach the corporate business level.
Bridget is a hacker who is ambitious, skilled, and even very lucky.
Cyberwatch promotes itself as the last barrier between humans and AI, humanity’s last hope, but like all street kids, Brigitte is skeptical, and that really makes her find the organization :
She studied technology on some BBS forums, and also heard some very defensible rumors about network surveillance——
"Network monitoring said that the old network is full of circulating AI. Hackers will be attacked as soon as they come into contact, and their brains will be burned. The old network is isolated with a black wall.
But in fact, the old network is full of treasures and full of magic. The AI technology, and the black wall, is also a kind of AI.
Network monitoring uses AI to prevent others from obtaining AI technology from the old network. And gain the upper hand in network technology.”
So Bridget’s highest ideal as an AI is to pass through the black wall and obtain knowledge from the old network——
She also did it, voodoo. Many of the gang's technologies were dug through the black wall and dug out from the old network. This is the basis for their survival in Taiping Prefecture and even their rule.
But she has always been in awe when it comes to contact with AI: just like the black people under the sea facing the so-called "Voodoo", she covets this power and is also in awe of it.
She also actually had contact with some AIs. They always contacted each other cautiously, tested each other, communicated with each other, and traded with each other
And began to try to design ways to get it from Dexter. Equipment to Capture AI
But
But
Why can someone use AI as a mastermind?
The Voodoo Gang has been developing for so many years, and for the first time it has obtained military-grade advanced equipment, and also seen a true complete body-fluid AI. It is obviously two happy things that overlapped, but why did it change? It's like this.
Liel saw that Brigitte, who was not very complete in the first place, began to blur. At that time, he gave her a shot of brain stimulant, combined with electrode control to give her a boost of energy.
[Lille: Let’s do it one by one, Dexter Deshawn, what did he ask you to do? 】
Bridget asked a question again as if waking up from a dream:
[Bridget: Is that a dangerous critical mass? 】
It seems that he is delirious. In fact, Lille has already answered this question.
[Lille: Answer my question first, and then I will consider answering your question. 】
[Brigitte: He asked me to use equipment to fake and cover foreign mercenaries entering Night City. 】
[Lille: Very good, second question, there is a hacker named Dante who came from Watson District. Do you have any impressions? 】
[Bridget: Yes, he specially found a building to set up equipment, equipment we have never seen before. 】
【Lille: Where? Didn't you stare at him? 】
[Brigit: In the tallest unfinished building, we will pinch his meter and secretly monitor the frequency band of his equipment. ]
[Brigitte: The data is in.]
[Lille: I found it. 】
Because the Voodoo Gang was given a night to rest, the database recovered well.
Bridget has many brain enhancements. Among them, hackers like to use external memory to store ultra-complex keys. The advantage is that it makes deciphering more difficult. The disadvantage is that when she is hung up in such an all-round way, In cyberspace, when human body signs are also fully controlled, Lear can easily lock the database and key every time he wants to mobilize data.
Dante "rented" a piece of land with local gangs in each district and quietly set up directional arrays. No one knew what the one-way signals were used for.
But in Taiping Prefecture.
The characteristics of the leaked signal detected by the Voodoo Gang suddenly made Lille feel familiar:
This signal characteristic is very similar to the signal that induced cyberpsychosis in mercenaries after the arrival of Muramasa.
What’s even more coincidental is that when Lear blew up the Watson District and took down the Whirlpool Gang, Pella Les had a headache all the time because of what he said, and he disappeared for a long time.
During the time when he disappeared, he even moved from a high-rise apartment facing Watson District to a high-rise apartment with a view of Taiping Prefecture!
Lirdang used Muramasa to analyze the signal characteristics - [Muramasa: This is the signal for human brain wave frequency. The technology was provided by the AI, and this version was optimized by me. 】
In other words, Dante was the outsourcer hired by Mr. Blue Eyes to protect the equipment, and those equipment were the equipment used to brainwash and control Peralez! (Note 1)
Identity correspondence, Li Er suddenly set the tone for Dante’s course of action:
Appeared in Westbrook to join the Tiger Claw Gang and changed his identity—— He jumped from the Tiger Claw Gang to the Whirlpool Gang and deployed brainwashing equipment opposite Charter Hill. The Whirlpool Gang was attacked and came to Taiping Prefecture to deploy the equipment.
If the information reaches this point, Lille will at most think that this Dante is indeed not simple, that he can be noticed by blue eyes and work for the wandering AI.
But the problem is that there is still an important piece of information that has not been implemented in Lille's speculation about the identity of "Dante":
There is also a Dante who was active in Heywood at the beginning, leading Valentino's young man and a group of mercenaries to investigate the deputy mayor's office and Holt. Finally, he was trapped in cyberspace by the soul killer and used special methods in cyberspace. The space sent a message to Wakako's old mistress Nanchang Xun for help.
If this hacker Dante and the current mercenary Dante are the same person
This will require two more events before this timeline: Dante’s investigation of the deputy mayor Office - Trapped in cyberspace by the Soul Killer.
But if he was trapped in cyberspace by the Soul Killer during Heywood's operation, then how did he magically appear in the territory of the Tiger Claw Gang? ? !
Lille suddenly had a terrifying suspicion
[Muramasa: The signal antenna is ready for use, but you'd better move quickly. The circuit here is very unstable. If you want to carry out high-intensity communication, it's best to take it easy. 】
【Signal search in progress】
【Communication frequency has been set】
【Directional enhanced communication mode activated, two-way communication protocol activated, signal concealment activated】
[Lille: David, heard the reply. 】
Team David in Badlands has been driving around in the latest, authentic Mackinac, the unique Mackinac "Mammoth" for a full 12 hours.
The powerful horsepower, tough appearance, and wild driving experience are simply unstoppable.
Adecado and they are all looking for the target of network surveillance: a mysterious agent with unknown origins. According to Bryce, he should also be involved in the investigation of the deputy mayor's office.
But
nothing.
Except that night, suddenly there was an extremely inconspicuous but quite bright thing in the sky. It looked like something that had fallen from the moon, something strange had hit it.
David scratched his head and looked around. Adecado had completely blocked the surrounding area. Not far away was the military technology solar power distribution station, but it seemed that there was a lack of defense due to the Arasaka aircraft carrier.
Looking for people in the bad land is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They can only look for where there is any abnormality and go there.
But they did not find the mission target Peter at the landing point
Only a pair of blackened shoes remained here. (Note 2)
【呲】
【Lille: David, I heard the reply. 】
[David: Brother, the person was not found, but strange traces were found near the military technology power distribution communication station. [Picture]]
Liel could tell at a glance that this thing was the trace left by an ultra-high-power energy weapon.
Lear rarely uses words like "ultra-high power" to describe equipment and weapons——
Because he felt that the strike marks of this thing were very similar to some high-power orbital weapons in his memory. Although these weapons had advantages outside orbit, they also had to rely on ultra-high power to penetrate the atmosphere and achieve effective killing.
[Lille: Hack the nearby military technology site and see what is left. I will do it. Lucy, Qiwei, you will do the bridging. 】
