In a certain secret base in the Primeval Star River …
In the spacious factory full of mechanical equipment, numerous mechanical arms were working day and night. Teams of mechanical assistants were as busy as workers in a workshop. Countless assembly lines were producing all kinds of mechanical products in a neat and smooth process.
Manison sat cross-legged in the air of the factory with his eyes closed as he meditated. Golden electric arcs danced on the surface of his body like small snakes. His brain was working rapidly as he focused on training his computational ability. This was a compulsory class for most Virtual Mechanics every day.
While he was swimming in the sea of data, a firewall alarm suddenly sounded from the connection between his consciousness and the quantum network. It reverberated in his mind!
"Alarm! Alarm! Abnormal data detected. It is currently infiltrating the database firewall! "
Manison opened his eyes abruptly, and his training state was interrupted.
"Someone infiltrated my database?"
Manison frowned, and Han Xiao's figure subconsciously appeared in his mind.
The last time someone did this was many years ago. Could it be that b * stard Black Star?
Although they were on the same side now, Manison had never hesitated to speculate about Black Star with the greatest malice. Don't ask, it would be PTSD.
His consciousness suddenly sank into the quantum network, and along the quantum network node, he instantly jumped to the location of the firewall. The next moment, his vision changed drastically, and he arrived at a virtual world built from data streams.
In front of him was a thick firewall array that looked like layers of translucent shields. Countless jumping data bytes flowed on the surface. It was these things that protected his Virtual Artificial Intelligence core and many databases, making them invisible in the quantum network, making it impossible for ordinary people to find the path and search.
The enemies who could find the path to infiltrate were either Beyond Grade A Mechanics or the main artificial intelligence of an advanced civilization or some large organization. In any case, they did not come with good intentions.
At this moment, a large cluster of slightly glowing dark purple data was crawling on the surface of the firewall like a slime, continuously wriggling and corroding the firewall. Large patches of purple spread out. From a microscopic perspective, it could be seen that at the point of contact between the two parties, their respective basic data bytes were fighting fiercely. The basic bytes that were torn apart by the firewall were reorganized into the appearance of the other party's bytes and were assimilated and swallowed by this cluster of abnormal data, causing the computing scale of the abnormal data to slowly increase.
Inside the firewall, streams of data surged out from the ground and condensed into the virtual appearance of Manison's soul. He narrowed his eyes and looked at this scene. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a stream of data. The two ends continued to extend, and the whole stream became thin and long, turning into the shape of a scepter. Manison held it in his hand.
He tapped his scepter, and streams of data surged up from the ground. The texture was like mud, and they were quickly molded by an invisible force into a legion of fully-armored AI guards, arrayed behind him.
"You dare to invade my territory, but you don't have the guts to show yourself?" After finishing his battle preparations, Manison spoke expressionlessly.
As soon as he said that, Mornisa's virtual figure appeared outside the firewall. She looked at Manison, who was protected by the firewall, and said calmly, "You're not a member.
"We meet again … Teacher!"
"So, it's you." Manison narrowed his eyes. "What, you still haven't given up?"
Mornisa had once tried to steal his technology secretly. The reason was that she was close to him and had grasped some secret routes, so her ambition grew. However, Mornisa's skill level was not high enough, so she did not succeed. She was discovered by him and taught a lesson. After that, Mornisa joined the Radiant Federation, and this matter was left unsettled.
Over the years, Manison had taught many Mechanics, and Mornisa was one of the most talented. After Mornisa became a Beyond Grade A, he originally wanted to support her in establishing her own organization and forming an alliance with her to indirectly expand his own organization. Unfortunately, Mornisa bit him back, and this plan fell through. Their relationship went from that of teacher and student to that of colleague.
However, although the two of them did not have a good relationship, they did not become enemies immediately. On the contrary, the two of them had always maintained a certain level of intelligence cooperation. Mornisa would occasionally reveal some unimportant insider information to Manison. From Manison's point of view, she was trying to get on his good side and keep him in check.
He knew this student's personality quite well. Once she set her sights on a goal, she would not give up easily. She would definitely try everything she could and would not give up on stealing his technology so easily.
Therefore, Manison was surprised by Mornisa's sudden invasion today, but he felt that it was reasonable.
Hearing this, Mornisa sneered.
"Teacher, things are different now. Black Star's rise has taken away the faith of the Machinery Faith. You're no longer the invincible Mecha Empire from decades ago."
Hearing Black Star's name, Manison snorted in his mind but did not refute this point. He calmly said, "Even so, it's still very easy for me to beat you up."
"I'm not so overconfident as to think that I have the ability to fight you alone …" Mornisa revealed a sarcastic smile. "But I have help this time!"
As soon as she said that, abnormal data streams suddenly appeared from a few other directions and smashed into the firewall. Large amounts of data were shattered, and the figures of a few other Beyond Grade A Mechanics also appeared.
With the support of part of the computing power of the three Universal Civilizations' main artificial intelligences, the speed at which they broke through the firewall was shockingly fast. The defense modules quickly disintegrated one after another, and the layers of the firewall were filled with holes.
In an instant, he fell into the encirclement!
Manison's expression changed slightly. These people were all direct members of the three Universal Civilizations. This time, it was clearly a three-way operation.
Dealing with the invasion of several Beyond Grade A Mechanics was already a little troublesome, and on top of this, the three Universal Civilizations even used part of the computing power of their own artificial intelligences to help. This was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
The main artificial intelligences of the three Universal Civilizations were the most powerful artificial intelligences in the entire universe. After being improved and strengthened by generations of Beyond Grade A Mechanics, they even fused with the memories, experience, and consciousness of these Mechanics. They could be considered the most precious and strongest tool in the field of Virtual Technology. Without this foundation, the core database of the three Universal Civilizations would have been infiltrated long ago.
It was just that most of the computing power of the main artificial intelligences had to be used to maintain the operations of the civilization, so it did not reveal much. However, if all of its computing power was concentrated, its power would be terrifying.
Now that the three of them were invading with the help of a few direct Beyond Grade A Mechanics, it would be difficult for him to fight against them alone. He was strong, but there was a limit.
Furthermore, he had been beaten up badly by Black Star, and his ability was no longer at its peak. He felt helpless.
"The three Universal Civilizations really think highly of me," Manison said with a deep voice.
"You have to pay for what you've done. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so reckless in the past and always trying to steal the secrets of the Radiant Federation. The Radiant has been tolerating you for a long time. Seeing that you used to be a staunch ally, we held back. This time, it's a late reckoning. I only suggested to the three Universal Civilizations and gave them a push.
They want to get rid of the secrets in your hands and obtain the information you collected about the various civilizations in the Primeval Star River … As for your technology, it's just a reward for me. "
Mornisa's tone was playful, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Manison snorted coldly. Knowing that it was useless to say anything more, he slammed his scepter.
The next moment, the AI guard army moved forward to stop the invasion. Finette also appeared with many artificial intelligences, joining the virtual attack and defense.
At the same time, rays made of data streams suddenly shot out of the firewall, evaporating large chunks of the invading data. The firewall array also began to change its position. Like a formation, the data traps hidden within were activated one after another, blocking the enemy's data streams.
Due to the Intelligent Plague incident and the three Universal Civilizations becoming enemies, Manison had taken precautions and strengthened his firewall. He had even set up a large number of Virtual Technology methods to prevent today's situation.
"You're still the same. However, even if you made preparations in advance, can you stop them today?" Mornisa's eyes flashed.
"You'll only know after you try."
Manison was unmoved.
The invasion strength of the other party was beyond his expectations. He had already used all his means, and he had no idea if he could stop them.
The data streams on both sides clashed. His computing power was operating at an extreme speed, constantly analyzing and breaking the other party's methods. The amount of information he received every second was astronomical.
The flow of time in the Virtual Domain was different from normal time. It depended on the individual's thinking speed. With the thinking speed of the many Beyond Grade As present, every second seemed to be countless times faster here.
Facing the powerful attacks of the three Universal Civilizations, Manison gradually found it difficult to deal with. The thickness of the firewall kept thinning, and holes appeared one after another. A portion of the low-level databases at the periphery lost their protection.
The data probes of the three Universal Civilizations were inserted through these holes, shooting out streams of AI hunters and data streams, continuing to kill their way into the depths … The most confidential database was their main target this time.
Although the situation was not good, Manison was still unmoved, not affected by his mood. He meticulously shrunk the defense line, steadily and accurately blocking the enemy and clearing the intruders' data.
Mornisa controlled the data streams to try to break through Manison's data blockade while harassing him with a mocking tone.
"Teacher, your ability has regressed a lot. Without the bonus of the Machinery Faith, you've fallen from the peak of your strength. You must feel bad, right?"
"Why didn't you ask Black Star for help? Black Star should be very generous to help you, someone who lost to him, right? Hehe, I almost forgot. We've blocked all external communications. By the time you successfully sent out a request for help, we would have gotten it."
"Black Star has suppressed you so much that you can't breathe, taking away things that belong to you time and time again. I didn't expect you to be able to swallow your anger when he did this to you. If this was in the past, would you have let it go so easily? You're indeed getting older, and your courage is not as good as before. Don't tell me Black Star scared you out of your wits? "
The harassment of Shrimp Pig Heart came one after another, hitting Manison's heart where it hurt.
However, his expression did not change, and his computing power was not affected.
He calmly said, "… Are you done?"
Hearing this, Mornisa suddenly felt a sense of danger. She felt as if a blood-red 'danger' word had appeared above her head.
Just as she was about to react, Manison's eyes glowed and locked onto her from afar.
The next moment, a strange stream of data flowed out.
Mornisa's vision blurred, and her Virtual Soul was dragged into a silver data world filled with countless machines by an irresistible force. A silver giant stood before her. It was the enlarged version of Manison.
Manison looked down, and his eyes were as indifferent as a god looking down at the mortals. He spoke calmly, and his voice echoed in this world.
"Are you ready to get beaten up?"
Mornisa said with an expressionless face, "Since I dared to come after you, I was already mentally prepared. I can get your technology with just a little bit of injury. It's so worth it. Plus, this move of yours is just Virtual Paramount. How long can it trap me?"
"Not long … but it's enough to beat you half to death! Idiot! "
Manison suddenly bent down, and his fist smashed down, turning Mornisa's Virtual Soul into a pancake.
With a boom, the world shook!
