Chapter 632 Chain of Trust and Chain of Interests

Kangtao’s CEO’s response was equally quick and not slow, and there were plenty of reasons to support them:

First of all, and most directly, V's prototype Si'an Westan data could not be recovered for a long time. They could only watch this mercenary use their hardware to perform beyond the laboratory values ​​again and again.

It's just that Agent Kangtao would be more sensitive if he showed up in Night City to catch celebrity wanted criminals, so they kept silent.

Things are different now. Arasaka has taken the lead, and Military Science and Technology has also agreed. Moreover, their preliminary negotiations even pulled him out——

Kangtao CEO was actually confused about this matter, and even his think tank was baffled immediately:

Because even they themselves don't know about this case.

So in just a moment, they got the result: Why did someone use "Kangtao's" technology to defeat Arasaka and Military Technology, but Kangtao didn't know?

Of course, it was Arasaka and people familiar with military technology who suppressed this matter.

It's most likely that he was deflated, and I can't go into details.

So for the first time, Kangtao’s think tank pointed out that this was a trick by the two companies, but they didn’t think so after seeing the on-site pictures leaked by the two companies:

The scattered flying micro smart bombs were also shown in the racing match that night. Kang Tao was still discussing how to get that thing over. After all, they also knew that Burger King had stolen it from them in Dog Town. Eight-star gun.

As a result, Arasaka and Military Technology said that this group of people had used it at the border a long time ago? !

The pictures were restored and high-definition through Kangtao's image processing AI, and Kangtao Think Tank quickly got the answer from the R\u0026D department:

This is the bullet of the Eight-Star Gun.

A new possibility emerges: their stolen cargo in Atlanta, and a failed mission

[Contao CEO: This is indeed our weapon, but it is a stolen weapon. If you are willing to search, you can see that we stole a batch of goods in Atlanta. Maybe President Miles knows. 】

The loss of this batch of goods did not appear on the news, and even the news that all military technology troops were killed outside Atlanta was suppressed.

Therefore, we can only ask President Miles for verification: that force is a military science and technology establishment, but it is part of the garrison force of the new United States, and is part of the nationalization of military science and technology.

As for Miles, of course she knew about it, because the investigation after the accident was done by a lark!

Military Technology not only stole a Sian Westan prototype used for illegal AI research, but also detected blackwall data remnants!

Miles has no way of knowing the details of this incident, but the information provided by Kang Tao's CEO is crucial, important enough that she can almost identify the murderer.

The murderer is Burger King!

[Myers: I know, yes, I can testify that a shipment was indeed stolen from Kang Tao. 】

[Contao CEO: Thank you for your cooperation, President Miles, then my request is also very simple. I hope to recover the stolen goods and technology from them, including the Sian Westan on the suspect called "King" and Items and information related to the Zhuo shotgun prototype "Eight-Star Gun". 】

No one responded to Kang Tao's appeal, but they all kept their requests in mind.

Miles continued:

[Myers: During that theft, Military Technology also lost some goods, and we detected traces of black walls at the scene, which means that he himself may be an AI. 】

[Saburo Arasaka: Internet surveillance once hired a suspect known as the "Burger King." 】

The image of network surveillance is not a vague human form, but an eye, an eye covered with cables instead of nerves.

[Internet Monitoring: Yes, we once hired Burger King to deal with the wandering AI "Muramasa" who haunted Night City, Internet wanted number B-0430. 】

[Network monitoring: We continue to track the target after entering Taiping Prefecture, and this is a joint operation. 】

Miles nodded slightly——

It was at this meeting that she became fully convinced of the identity of the Atlanta attackers.

Prior to this, although the Night City Branch of Military Science and Technology reported that he was unlikely to be the Atla Grand Attacker, the New American Intelligence Agency did not stop the investigation and sent a special response team to conduct an in-depth investigation.

Lark has always been suspicious of this, and she has a plan: she will set up a trap to attack Burger King. If Burger King is destroyed by the attack, she will win a big victory;

If not, she used a blackwall gateway and made some cover-up traces on the network to make the attack look like Burger King attacking military technology equipment, thus triggering the network surveillance's genuine AI elimination system, also known as the blackwall. .

Therefore, the person who really attacked EBM was Susan Forrester. At the same time, with the help of this attack, military technology killed the arms dealers who had been secretly reselling their arms, helping network surveillance enter Dog Town, making everything reasonable.

The chain of suspicion between companies is quietly weakening, and a "chain of trust" is being built against the criminal group "Burger King Trading Idiot Big Shots."

Saburo Arasaka thought this was feasible, so he started working on it, and the facts proved that it was indeed feasible.

Once again, he used his keen observation and situation control to find a profitable place.

A large trace of cyberspace data is sent to the network.

[Network Monitoring: The cyberspace turmoil that occurred in Dog Town was a joint operation between us and the New American Agents, and in this activity, we detected that the Black Wall had an attack response to the cyber hacker called Burger King. ]

[Network Monitoring: We know some of Muramasa's cyberspace characteristics, but if the Arasaka Group is willing to provide some additional information, we can be more certain of this judgment: Burger King is a vagrant AI disguised as a human. ]

[Arasaka Saburo: This is an unacceptable condition. Muramasa was once the pride of Arasaka, but for the sake of order, we are willing to make some compromises. ]

[Data is being transmitted. ]

[Network Monitoring: The comparison results show that this guess is correct. ]

[Network Monitoring: We are almost certain that Muramasa is not only in his hands, but the two have even reached a cooperation. At present, we have not traced the database where Muramasa stores data, but according to the intelligence of military technology. ]

[Harford: We lost a special server in Atlanta. From the technical standards, it is possible that it can be used by AI. 】

The chain is becoming clearer and clearer, so the beginning of everything is not the terrorist attack in the company square of Night City, not the extreme metal race, not the riot of the homeless

Not even Night City, but a robbery in Atlanta.

The network monitor made a final conclusion, using the rights that major companies tacitly gave up after the collapse of the old network: the law enforcement power in cyberspace.

【Network Monitor: So we can conclude that this is a vagrant AI invasion. 】

【Network Monitor: Suspect "Burger King", vagrant AI number A-0013, given the cunningness of the target, we will publish the network wanted order when it is appropriate. 】

【Network Monitor: At the same time, the "Vagabond AI Reconnaissance Protocol" is activated, and major companies can use any means in cyberspace to attack vagrant AI, as well as individuals and organizations that have had information exchanges with vagrant AI. 】

Arasaka Saburo was about to transition the meeting to the next stage, and the CEO of Biotech raised his hand to interrupt:

【Biotech CEO: Lizardmen are our technology, we support the pursuit, but we need to reaffirm the patent rights. 】

Everyone present was interrupted by this, and after the blurred data image, they showed slightly subtle expressions:

In the past, Biotech kept silent about this, and everyone thought it was them who came up with it.

Now they took the initiative to jump out, but everyone thought.

If there is no, don't pretend.

[Biotech CEO: It is still in the experimental stage. If there are results, everyone is welcome to buy it, but remember the patent rights. 】

The representatives of Pedro Petrochemical raised their hands at the same time, silently expressing their support.

And the support of Pedro Petrochemical is also very subtle, because this company has a considerable influence in North America.

And it is very helpful to prevent new giant companies, that is, Su Petrochemical, from entering North America.

Okay, if you say it is, it is.

It just happens to enter the next stage: each company claims which technologies in Burger King are theirs.

After getting the recognition of large companies, a fragile credit chain can be established, and then it is to find enough interests to make companies take action and completely cut off this cancer.
