Chapter 709 Offense and Defense
[Time: -75.02.54]
"So, is this the truth?"
Kiriman looked at the advanced technician in front of him, and the latter nodded awkwardly.
"Yes, sir, I monitored the Internet of the speakers as you told me, and the result is... regrettable."
"They are uploading some kind of code to the Coase network... Can they figure out what those codes are for?"
"I''m afraid there is no way to do it in a short period of time, and... those codes..."
The senior technician hesitated for a moment.
"The characteristics of those codes are strange. We have controlled their range as much as possible, but they seem to be able to pass through our defenses. The Mechanical God Cult is a little worried about this. But so far, these have not had any impact. Maybe this is just some kind of program code that is unique to the word-bearer? But I hope they can inform us in advance."
Hearing the report of the senior technician, Kiriman fell into silence. Although he did not fully believe Duanmu Huai''s warning, Kiriman has always been on guard. Therefore, he monitored the ports of the spoken bearers'' access to the Coath network on the grounds that he "focused on the communication lines of the speech bearers to avoid failures in this large-scale military exercise."
This is actually very normal. After all, the data traffic brought by such a large-scale military mobilization is bound to be unestimated. In this case, it is not surprising to coordinate and pay attention to the communication lines of the two armies to avoid problems. So the high-level technician also did it as Kiriman told him.
But now, the news he brought cannot reassure Kiriman. After all, Duanmu Huai once warned him that the word-bearer would use some means to paralyze Coase''s military network. As for the present situation...
He was unfortunately likely to be right.
“Can the Mechanical God Cult deal with this problem?”
"For now? Sorry, the Mechanical God Cult does not regard it as a priority, but only as data redundancy arising from large-scale military mobilizations. And... we seem to lack the means to fight it."
"I''m sorry to disturb you."
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came. Kiriman turned his head and looked at him. He saw a girl standing up and coming to Kiriman.
"The judge once instructed that if you encounter problems with network data, then I can provide a certain level of technical support on behalf of the court."
"You mean you can solve this problem?"
“I can try it if you allow it.”
"Um………"
Kiriman looked at the girl, then looked at the senior technician, who looked at the girl curiously.
"Sir, she is..."
"As you heard, do you think it''s OK?"
“I’m not sure.”
The senior technician shook his head, and the mechanical tentacles behind him danced gently.
"Sorry, in my personal opinion, I don''t think this mortal girl can have any impact on Coase''s network failure. Even with the full support of the Mechanical God Cult, we cannot..."
"So, can''t you finish it in a short time, right?"
"Sorry, that''s exactly that."
"Then Miss Liumiel."
Kiriman didn''t say anything more, but turned his head to look at the girl.
"Are you sure you are sure?"
"I can try it, but I can''t say I must be sure."
Liumiel''s answer was also very cautious.
"Of course, if you refuse my assistance for information and data security reasons, the court can understand it."
"So I can ask you what solution is there?"
"According to the Inquisition, it is difficult for these...electronic demons to be completely removed, so personally, I can lure those virus programs to some relatively safe data spaces and block and clear them, while deflecting the information transmission data network channel, so that all the codes uploaded by the word-bearers can be transferred to the designated location."
"Okay, then let''s give it a try."
Kiriman thought for a moment and nodded.
"What do you need?"
“I need a terminal.”
"no problem."
Kiriman raised his head and looked at the senior technician.
"I remember there were substitute ponders, right?"
"Yes."
"Just let her use that."
“Yes, sir.”
Although the senior technician does not think that a mortal girl can handle this level of trouble, after all, even pilots from the Mechanical Divine Cult will find it difficult to solve the problem in this situation. But since Kiriman gave the order, he had to execute it.
Soon, the group arrived at a warehouse located in the Coase Space Station, where the previously replaced meditation terminal was placed. The senior technician took a step forward and first connected his neural network. After all, no matter what the girl wants to do, he has to monitor the other party''s every move. This is the core of the entire military network. Although the senior technician does not think that a mortal can react in this vast data stream, he still calms down and does things according to his own responsibilities.
Then, the senior technician saw the girl who seemed to be in her teens stretched out her hand and placed it on the terminal.
What''s the use of this?
Seeing this scene, the senior technician shook his head in his heart. This original input method can only be used to read and search materials. A real servo technician should synchronize his thinking with the network, and then... how is this possible! ?
However, the next moment, the senior technician widened his eyes in surprise. Through the center of the thinking network, he saw a scene that he could not imagine at all!
The girl''s hands began to emit light, and then bands of light appeared from her fingertips and penetrated into the terminal. Then, the senior technician saw an unimaginable scene - the interlaced information and codes in the thinking space were surrendered to the glory of the girl at this moment. They were like ministers who had met the king, completely obeying the girl''s will.
What power is this?
The senior technician widened his prosthetic eyes and stared at the incredible scene in front of him.
Those data, information, and codes are not passively searched and read, but are actively transferred in the girl''s will. The vast and boundless data flow was like a stream in the girl''s hands, she easily swung, mastered, and directed like an arm.
"What''s wrong? What happened? What did she do?"
Kiriman naturally noticed the expression of the senior technician and asked hurriedly, but the latter was ecstatic.
"The God of All Machines is above, sir, you can''t imagine what I saw! This is a miracle! This is a miracle of the God of All Machines! Praise the God of All Machines! Praise Omnisaiah! She is the incarnation of the God of All Machines!"
Kiriman looked at the senior technician in surprise, but at the same time, Lumier also began to act.
“I’ve found it.”
Then, she spoke.
"Finished?"
"Yes, that''s not a scrap code, nor a virus program, but a word."
"Just a word???"
Hearing Liumiel''s answer, Kiriman frowned.
"You mean, one word causes redundancy in the entire thinking network?"
“That’s not an ordinary word…”
Liumier calmed down and recalled what Duanmu Huai told her about the electronic demons - not harmful encodings, nor virus data, they were just eight words arranged and combined by letters.
Eight names.
The name of the Eighths.
Once these eight names are completely entered, they will begin to absorb the thinking of electronic networks and expand and reveal their true colors.
They will corrode, infect, and they are indelible.
Sacred numbers.
8 times eight to the power of eight……
“I’m doing data transfer.”
Liumier explained again, and the senior technician next to him also nodded. At this moment, he had no intention of guidance and surveillance at all. He seemed to be looking at the torrent of data, gently woven under the girl''s hands, forming a flawless mechanical network.
"Why?"
However, just as Liumiel transferred the last word, suddenly, her expression changed slightly. At this moment, Liumiel felt that when the eight words uploaded from the Word Bearer Base appeared in a data space at the same time, they suddenly began to reproduce like a virus and expand at a completely unimaginable rate...
“Secretly cut off the physical connection!”
As soon as Liumiel''s scream appeared, a mechanical tentacle behind the senior technician suddenly shot out, and the laser blade flashed by, directly cutting off the cable of the contemplator''s terminal. However, immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened.
Just as the senior technician cut off the cable, accompanied by a shrill scream, everyone saw that on the screen of the Mediterrane Terminal, the characters originally shining with codes and data suddenly began to twist and rotate, and in the blink of an eye turned into a pink and terrifying monster. It widened its eyes and stared at Kiriman and others fiercely - then the next moment, it suddenly rushed out of the screen and pounced towards Rumiel!
“————!”
Kiriman didn''t know what was going on, but he subconsciously stepped forward, pulled out the sword from his waist and chopped it down at the monster. The sword blade cut the monster into two pieces, and then the monster suddenly expanded, turning into a pool of blood and exploded, spraying it on the surrounding walls.
“………………”
The whole room was silent, and even Liumiel was stunned. Although she had indeed heard about electronic demons from Duanmuhuai, this was too unexpected to her.
“…What kind of trick is this?”
Kiriman looked at his blood-stained sword blade. He couldn''t believe what he had seen just now. A monster came out of the screen of the contemplator and attacked them. Although his rational thinking wanted to think that this was just an illusion, it was just an illusion, but the blood sprayed around and the touch that had just come from the sword blade clearly denied this. He could even smell the scent of that monster, the dark nightmare, the unchanging stench of the sub-space.
"What kind of trick is this?"
Kiriman turned his head and looked at Rumiel, who also shook his head.
"Sorry, I don''t know the details. Only the judge...maybe he can explain it to you."
"I see."
Kiriman took a deep breath, and the rich smell of blood came, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. But this also reminded him again that everything that happened to him just now was not an illusion.
But reality.
"So, has the threat been lifted?"
"This is the case for the time being, but the opponent''s strength is obviously beyond expectations. Perhaps we should completely cut off their communication lines."
"I see."
Kiriman nodded and looked at the senior technician.
"Immediately cut off the communication line of the Word Bearer Base, which means that there is a failure in our network and large-scale maintenance is currently underway. And..."
Speaking of this, Kiriman paused for a moment.
"Order the 14th Company to go to the periphery of the Word Bearer''s Station and wait for my further orders."
Malicious premise.
Kiriman never wanted to think about this, but he still thought that all this was just a misunderstanding. Perhaps Luo Jia himself did not know all this, and this was done by his subordinates. But Kiriman''s reason told him that it didn''t make sense. In any case, he was the lord of the five hundred worlds and he had to be responsible for the world under his jurisdiction.
At least for now, everything they encounter indicates that the speaker is indeed unfair.
But what should Kiriman do?
He could not fire the first shot. Even if Kiriman ordered, the extreme warriors below would not agree. They had never expected to point the gun at their Astartes. This order was definitely the most incomprehensible to them. Kiriman understood this, just like him, and he never thought that one day he would aim his weapon at Luo Jia, his brother. Although Kiriman admits that he sometimes thinks Loga is a little childish and over-fanciful, he still thinks the two are brothers.
But... it seems that Luo Jia doesn''t think so.
Walking back to the command room and seeing the other people''s surprised expressions, Kiriman realized that the blood on his face had not been wiped off.
"Sir? What happened?"
“Something happened.”
Faced with the inquiry from his subordinates, Kiriman frowned and shook his head, and then he asked.
"Is there any news about the First Company and the Bell Tower?"
