Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 596: Chapter 127: Underlying Protocol Puzzle Merge (Part 1)

There is an ancient saying that goes—

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

Ahem, wrong scene.

To be precise, the larger the size of a life form, whether it’s a Mechanical Body or Carbon-based species, the greater the consumption.

For the Planet Host, every second can involve processing hundreds of trillions of data interactions, and even for it, this level of data processing is a powerful consumption.

Therefore, periodic hibernation becomes a necessity.

But no one expected that this hibernation happened to fall during the stage of protocol change between the ’Fortress’ and the ’Deep Net’.

Thus, Gao Gong came up with a good idea.

If this works, not only can we hack into this old man’s head, but also break into Cybertron and snag some good stuff for free.

”On my end, the big data interface has been opened.”

Not far away, Pupil opened her mouth to report.

”It’s opened on my end as well,” a Neural Modeler from the Fortress side said.

Due to the peculiar nature of Cyber Space, the big data interface is not just a processing page, but an existence similar to ’Otherdimensional Space’.

It can materialize in reality, manifesting as a complex, crack-ridden ’Golden Gate’.

It resembles the ’Void’ in a certain comic, as well as the lair of some Cthulhu monsters.

Once the ’interface’ opens, various strange emotion data, personality fragment data, and sensory data gush out like a torrent from the ’door’.

Thanks to the suppression by the Satellite-level Energy Field, which sealed off 95% of everyone present’s physical senses, otherwise, a few people would likely go insane.

Simultaneously, waves of terrifying, indescribable Aura overflowed from the ’interface’, the big data interface is meant for the Big Data Conceptual Body.

The replacement of the Bottom Logic, or rather, the Golden Rule, requires the participation of all Big Data Conceptual Bodies.

Or put differently, the fusion of all Big Data Conceptual Bodies forms the complete Bottom Protocol.

With blurred vision, Gao Gong could see endless black pipes erupting from a door, squeezing the door’s edges to the point of cracking, then inserting into the Planet Host.

It was as if the Sea of Data appeared in reality, even with most senses dampened, Gao Gong still felt an intense sensation of melting.

A Phantom of an old man in black flashed by.

’An old acquaintance!’

Pipe Sovereign!

The king of flow in hardware, a combination of all cables and Base Stations in reality.

With the descent of the Pipe Sovereign, soon, the other nine appeared one by one.

Some, like the ’Pipe’, whose enormous forms seemed to fill the entire space upon their emergence, such as the ’Prosthetic Giant’, ’King of Information’, ’Data Sanctuary’.

Others appeared in gentler forms, manifesting more in the concrete images of reality, like a bridge or rows of cameras, those were the ’Deep Web Bridge’, ’Eye of Peeping’.

And some were extremely covert in their appearance, absent display on the screen, their existence would be utterly unknown.

They were the ’Artificial Intelligence Ghost’, ’Hider’.

The former is an existence akin to a ’Heart Demon’, just as humans fear ghosts, for Artificial Intelligence, the ’Ghost’ is that specter.

Even the top-tier Artificial Intelligence, once entangled by the ’Ghost’, is merely a matter of time for personality template dissipation and intelligent data theft.

However, in the AI world, it has always been an urban legend, no one knows if it’s true or if it really exists.

Whereas the latter is an aggregate body of all ’Hidden Files’, those cloud drive little movies you watch, or hidden folders scattered around, including corporate secret files, are all its essence.

It is also the Big Data Conceptual Body most closely related to the ’Cyber Hacker’, the more secrets it holds, the stronger it becomes, and even as time passes, it would assign players to search for ’Hidden Files’ beyond its control, and the rewards it gives are rare Tier 2 Information System skills.

There are also some rather peculiar Big Data Conceptual Bodies.

For example, upon appearance, everyone’s details on site would be stripped bare by the Big Data Conceptual Body, the Cyberpedia, search engine incarnation, Mother of Data—Eliza.

’Hey kid, how did you get here? Who gave you the permit, oh, Old Man Aramaki, so the old man is not dead after all.’

A curious voice from Eliza suddenly echoed in Gao Gong’s mind.

Simultaneously, a series of prompt tones sounded on Gao Gong’s system panel.

[Infected by the mimetic hormones of the ’Sensory Queen’, your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1%]

[Infected by the mimetic hormones of the ’Sensory Queen’, your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1%]

[Infected by the mimetic hormones of the ’Sensory Queen’, your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1%]

...

Almost simultaneously, a languid, heart-racing mature woman’s voice suddenly sounded in Gao Gong’s mind, and in his vision, it was suddenly filled with colorful, various-formed mature female figures.

’Handsome boy, I have a feeling you’ll achieve greatness in the future, join my sect, and I will teach you three thousand techniques of dominating women/men!’

[Would you like to become a follower of the 75th-level Big Data Conceptual Body, ’Sensory Queen’?]

At the same time, Gao Gong could feel every part of his body being gently caressed by a soft little hand.

Hormones were crazily secreting—

Sensory Queen, the youngest Big Data Conceptual Body, ascending to the throne with only one piece of hardware.

That piece of hardware is called a Virtual Machine, essential for both men and women, healthy in use, but unsuitable for children.

Goodness, preaching to me, a former Virtual Sovereign, what do you take me for!

Gotta up the price!

Gao Gong resolutely chose ’No’.

A cold snort came from the air, the next moment, all the little hands vanished, and Gao Gong suddenly felt an emptiness and loneliness.

Aw man, just left like that, not persuading a bit longer, maybe with a bit more persuading, I’d have agreed.

With all ten Conceptual Bodies gathered, the final piece of the bottom protocol puzzle was complete, and the next moment, the Planet Host, the colossal grid metal sphere, began to glow, and from it, the entire Cybertron Satellite lit up, with thick energy shields rising layer by layer, enveloping the whole satellite in an ’Energy Atmosphere’.

The protocol change time is also when Cyber Space is most vulnerable, this type of vulnerability is deadly, and countless super hackers and corporate network departments pine after this moment.

Gaining mastery over Cyber Space essentially means seizing control of this Cyber Test Field.

And Cybertron’s method was simple, directly cutting off your network, severing all signals, not to mention hacking, you couldn’t even hack in the first place.

Generally, this level of defense is used for Interstellar Wars, protecting Interstellar Fortresses, Star System Strongholds, and Super Battleships of Advanced Civilizations this way, unless you destroy its core, any hacking technique is useless.

At least in this Star System, no civilization dares to directly assault a Cyber Test Field controlled by an Advanced Civilization.

But there is a small issue; the protection for Cyber Space is invincible.

But the protection for Cybertron’s core is not that meticulous.
