Chapter 524 The mystery left by Burger King

One hour after the Zero Point nuclear explosion, network monitoring was the busiest——

Since Lille directly attacked the Ye Group, Bryce was recorded as being off duty for less than 20 minutes, but when he returned to work, he found that the workload of network monitoring had increased by more than ten times!

Even Bryce didn't expect the final result

The Ye Group was directly attacked! Even data barriers are set up on public domains!

He thought that Lille was just going to volunteer to save Ryan, but in the end, Ryan and Peralez walked out of the underground space at the same time. The two competitors walked out side by side, and a new security team was immediately hired.

What is going on here?

Originally, the arrival of Saburo Arasaka would shift most of the work focus to collecting information about the Arasaka Group, but now the situation is wrong, and people have discovered that things in this city are also quite complicated.

Bryce returned to the network surveillance office in Night City. He was not in cyberspace at the time, but the monitoring software and programs all left reading information:

There is no doubt that there are traces of AI in the attack on the Ye Group, and it is not just any AI!

Preliminary estimates indicate that the number of AIs present at the scene was even multiple, and the computing power units involved in the battle reached as high as thousands of CCU——

You know, with the same computing power, what a script boy and a master hacker can do are completely different. With 1 unit of CCU, a script boy may run a few translation software and it is considered a good job.

For a master hacker, this one unit of CCU is enough for him to pry open the brain-computer interfaces of several unsuspecting passers-by. If he is prepared, the destructive power he can exert may be greater than that of a script kid holding several units. The computing power must be strong!

And these master hackers are just beginner script kiddies in front of AI - or even worse.

In other words, the attack on Ye's Group exposed more than one super-destructive AI, and they all disappeared again!

Bryce was sitting at his work station, undergoing equipment maintenance on automated equipment, and he was in a fugue state.

He really wants to see Burger King save Ryan, because as a company employee, he is the type who is not interested in the company, but he has a strange sense of mission to fight against AI that makes him feel at ease.

But the current situation has exceeded his imagination——

Beyond everyone's imagination.

There are nuclear bombs in reality, and in this cyberspace, nuclear bombs have also shown their weaknesses.

Like those who were shocked by the nuclear bomb, people who work in cyberspace all year round also have similar doubts:

Where did AI come from?

[The dragon hunter (number has been hidden) is accessing the communication. 】

[Dragon Hunter Encrypted Numbered Communication: I guess you can’t contact those three people now. The headquarters suspects that they have other AIs besides Muramasa. 】

[Dragon Hunter Encrypted Numbered Communication: Maybe one of them is even an AI, who knows. 】

[Dragon Hunter encrypted numbered communication: The headquarters sent me to support you. How is the situation of your server in Taiping Prefecture? 】

Bryce was stunned for a moment, and he asked:

[Bryce: I thought our primary target of suspicion was the Ye Group? Traces of the attack that day showed that the Ye Group seemed to have very unusual settings on the public network. 】

[Dragon Hunter Encrypted Numbered Communication: Maybe, but you know, it is the legal property of other companies, and under normal circumstances we will not target them. 】

[Bryce: This is not very convincing. Arasaka’s Soul Killer is also legal property. 】

[Dragon Hunter encrypted numbered communication: Don’t ask so many questions. I want to access your network in Taiping Prefecture. Move quickly and don’t let them escape. 】

So now he wants to join the army chasing Burger King?

Network surveillance suspects that Lear is an AI. In fact, he doubts Bryce's business capabilities.

Although Bryce didn't think any of the three of them was an AI, that kind of attack ability was obviously not something only Muramasa could achieve.

As a company employee, Bryce felt that the company's judgment must be reasonable. He also felt that there were many places that could only be explained this way, but...

But if Burger King were AI——

Bryce's three views have been somewhat affected: because he has always regarded AI as bad as one of his creeds, and their network surveillance is the last barrier for humans before AI. This belief allows him to maintain his belief in himself. Passion for work.

But he doesn't think Lille is a bad person. If the Ye Group was indeed attacked by Lille, that means this is a necessary process for him to save Ryan, or even make Peralez and Ryan shake hands and make peace.

He doesn't think it's bad.

It was such a hesitation that made him submit false information to the company for the first time in his life.

[Bryce: All the equipment in Taiping Prefecture has been offline. I need time to rearrange it and apply for a new communications vehicle. 】

[Dragon Hunter encrypted numbered communication: approved. 】

[Dragon Hunter Encrypted Numbered Communication: By the way, I remember they have a small connection with Military Technology, but I just tried a tentative attack on Military Technology, and the result was very bad. What kind of hackers do they have on hand? 】

Bryce was a little surprised.

Of course, military technology also has good attainments in network technology, but since the collapse of the old network, it has changed and relied on high-power, high-coverage, high-tech hardware, and it belongs to the traditional military school.

The espionage capabilities of cyberspace, especially the hacking and decryption capabilities, are average. They are more about protecting facilities and equipment from being invaded. As for those hackers, they have a lot of military units that can physically unplug the enemy's network cables.

In today's environment, even the dragon hunters find it difficult?

There are also masters?

[Bryce: Maybe they are new. ]

[Bryce: Speaking of this, I originally sent a team to the Bad Land to intercept a person suspected of being hunted by Arasaka, but they haven't come back yet. ]

[Bryce: I want to apply for a new field team. ]

[Dragon Hunter Encrypted Number Communication: Not realistic, you are very busy over there. ]

[Bryce: I have some connections, and I can find a mercenary team that happens to be in the Bad Land. You just need to help me take care of them. ]

Although this connection is actually the new super wanted criminal in Night City, and that mercenary team is actually the wanted criminal's younger brother.

Bryce suddenly felt that he understood Ryan:

Burger King left, why did the younger brothers he left behind become pleasing to the eye one by one.

In the Military Technology Building, like all other companies, all technicians were awakened and returned to work overnight.

All the spare robots in the maintenance warehouse were taken out of the warehouse and carried out a comprehensive inspection of the equipment with these engineers.

I have to say that with the experience of the EMP attack on the company square last time, the efficiency of this time was much higher.

The magical thing is that there was only one hacker in the hacker cabin of the building.

This hacker was a woman with long and smooth hair. She looked slim, but if you look closely, almost her whole body has been transformed by prosthetics. Lying in the access cabin, her eyes and body are shining.

Active cooling system, graphene shielding layer, multi-layer data access interface.

In short, it is very advanced.

[Lark: The Internet monitoring has launched a tentative visit to our network. It seems that they also suspect the human identity of the wanted criminal and think that we are also involved. ]

[Lark: This is a problem. We'd better find a way to solve it. ]

[Susan: What is the response from Tingwei Company? 】

【Stout: They said they could sell all the Mackinac concept stocks to us. Intelligence shows that even if we don't want them, they will sell them all. 】

In the communication channel, the action team was stunned for a moment.

Is Tingwei Company scared?
