Chapter 45: The Dragon Crossing the River and the Tiger Controlling the Mountain
The management quarreled in front of the senior engineers.
"If you hadn't fired Dong Gang, how could this quarter's tax audit fail?"
"Firing Dong Gang was not a decision made by me alone, but a decision made by all board members," a man with gold-rimmed glasses said coldly: "Isn't it too late to pass the blame now?"
"What we are thinking about now is how to file taxes again. Once the taxes are not passed, all our management will be replaced. You should understand what replacement means. Open our brains, wash away our memories, and feed our personalities.
Give the enterprise will..."
Gao Gong was listening enthusiastically. The man with gold-rimmed glasses suddenly gave Gao Gong a cold look, then turned around and walked away. Several other men in suits quickly chased after him. They could vaguely hear the words "Life Industry" and "Dong Gang".
A few words.
"Dong Gang, where have you heard this name before?"
The senior engineer had an idea, connected to the cyberspace, and logged into the search engine that was full of advertisements. As soon as the idea came to him, the news was picked up one by one.
'Due to the lack of important business data, several senior executives of Evernight City were fired. They are Dong Gang, the person in charge of the neural splicing project of Life Industry...'
'Dong Gang, 46 years old, is the chief scientist of Life Industry. Before joining Life Industry, he was a research master in the field of nerves. His research direction is neural connection prostheses...'
Holographic projections appeared one by one. Compared with the elegant man with gold-rimmed glasses just now, this chief scientist is very unkempt, with curly hair, a double chin, and a big belly, very much like Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man.
Gao Gong found a public speech video.
The 'Doctor Octopus' on the stage stuttered a bit, but this could not hide the fanaticism in his eyes.
"I, if my experimental project is successful, then the use of prosthetics will be able to reach a higher level. Please take a look."
‘Doctor Octopus’ stretched out his arms. The next moment, the arms began to decompose. Each arm decomposed into more than a dozen whiteboard prosthetics. Following his thoughts, these prosthetics began to rotate around the opponent’s body.
This operation caused a commotion in the audience.
Anyone who knows the industry can see that this is not a simple anti-gravity technology or a pre-adjusted operating program.
It's a new type of neural connection technology.
In a sense, this breaks through the shackles of prosthetics.
Prosthetics, the full name is bionic prostheses, are used to replace certain organs and limbs in first-level civilizations, and they shine in the medical field.
When reaching the second level civilization, they were transformed into weapons and had more functions. The prosthetics became weapons and armed prosthetics.
But in any case, their functions as body parts have not disappeared and cannot be cancelled.
Body modification is one thing, transformation is another.
This involves a 'scientific difficulty', which is the change of life forms.
And this operation of 'Doctor Octopus' has obviously broken through this obstacle to some extent. The prosthetic body on the arm can be divided and reorganized, and it seems that it can take any shape it wants.
'This technology is a bit like a super-cyborg army.'
The senior engineer touched his chin and began to think.
After the completion of the electronic brain project, the three mother cities have received the blessing of the computing power of the entire planet's life, the level of scientific research has been greatly enhanced, and many super projects have made progress, one of which is the 'Super Cyborg Army'.
The biggest difference between this 'Prosthetic Legion' and the ordinary 'Mechanical Legion' is immortality.
The entire prosthetic army has formed a special life form, and all prosthetic bodies can be divided, combined, and reorganized to form various forms of super soldiers.
These super soldiers average level 50.
More importantly, every prosthetic body in the legion is harmless and can be divided and reorganized at any time. Unless every prosthetic body in the prosthetic legion is destroyed, the opponent will be 'resurrected' without limit.
In the later plot of Mecha Star, this 'Corpse Legion' is also called the 'Undead Legion', which is the target of the famous Rebellion A.
The two sides have fought each other more than once, with each winning and losing, but the one who is at a disadvantage is Rebellion A.
Senior Engineer doesn't know if Doctor Octopus will join this super project according to the normal plot.
But the research direction is right.
However, it is obvious that this project is still in the development stage and has various problems.
The level of the prosthetic body is not high enough, and it can easily induce cyberpsychosis.
Dong Gang didn't operate for long before these whiteboard prostheses fell to the ground. He gasped for air and took several injections in a row before he regained his energy.
However, despite this, he also received a lot of applause from the audience.
‘Because of this opportunity, you joined Life Industry?’
The senior engineer searched for Life Industry again, but there was very little information. He only knew that it was an emerging company in Evernight City that had received several rounds of financing from large companies. It specialized in the development of cyberpsychotic drugs, neural splicing, and chip transformation.
'We have to find an opportunity to get in touch with this Dong Gang.'
The data code in the eyes of the senior engineer was constantly refreshed, and the jump of a few data nodes locked Dong Gang's position in reality.
This is the cool thing about cyber hackers. As long as you know the other party's name, you can follow the network cable and touch it.
Of course, this is also because Dong Gang was fired and the company lifted his data protection.
…
Next, business representatives came in and out one after another. Some looked sad, some breathed a sigh of relief, and almost none were happy.
Large-scale projects are hundreds of times more difficult than ordinary renovations.
The mother city is urging me like a soul.
This also makes every tax day a life-or-death test.
Of course, this does not mean that these companies are innocent and worthy of sympathy.
Ninety percent of the forbidden experiments in the Cyber Experimental Field were provided by this group of corporate monsters.
group drug trials
group personality experiment
mass body modification
The kind where one is crazy and one is in a large area, and one is dead in a bunch.
"Congratulations, you passed the tax audit this year," the big-breasted AI jumped out of nowhere, and the big rabbit almost hit the senior engineer in the face.
"It seems that it is better to be self-employed."
The senior engineer raised his head and looked at the door of the VIP room. Outside the door, a senior AI was walking out chatting and laughing with a senior executive from the Beautiful Internet.
"Wonderful Internet is a big taxpayer this year," Big-breasted AI envied: "If I were one of their executives on the list, I wouldn't have to worry about building a database."
"Aren't you afraid that people will install a moral chip on you?"
"What's wrong with the moral chip?" the big-breasted AI puffed up its chest: "This shows that we truly love each other."
The senior engineer waved his hand, declined the invitation to exchange data with the big-breasted AI, and strolled home.
Although the underlying logic of AI has not yet been determined, he can pinch his face first. He hasn’t pinched his face for a long time, so he can go back and try his hand.
Before taking two steps, an office building next door suddenly made an explosion sound. One after another, mechanical eyeliners flew over and turned into a wall composed of thousands of 'little octopuses'. The red eyeballs lit up at the same time. The next moment
, thousands of energy rays were shot out at the same time, and a few middle-aged men in suits were drowned by the light as soon as they rushed out.
"It's been bankrupt and reorganized." Gao Gong stopped and murmured.
More than one person stopped to watch, with different expressions.
According to the highest regulations of the mother city, both management and employees are assets of the company.
Once the company goes bankrupt, the management will be liquidated and the employees will be disposed of as auction assets.
Starting a company in the Machinery City is a serious 'risk investment'.
…
Along the way, Gao Gong was trying to figure out what kind of face to make, whether it was white hair, leg rings, a cat-eared girl, a backless, long-legged, royal-sister style, or a little breakthrough, a three-no, red-eyed, mechanical girl.
.
Oh, what a happy trouble.
When I returned to Hanging Street, I unexpectedly saw someone I hadn't seen for a long time.
Gao Jin, the God of Gambling, no, Gao Jin, the leader of the Welfare Gang.
Gao Jin's fat body was hidden in a small corner, and his small mung bean eyes looked at the people around him strangely, like a tiger locked in a cage.
When Gao Jin saw Gao Gong, his face immediately became honest and sincere, and he laughed and came over.
"Master, not seeing you for one day is like three autumns. I miss you so much."
Whether I want you to die or not, that is a question.
But the senior engineer didn't intend to ask, which was meaningless.
Ever since Gao Gong's birthday ended and Gao Gong was slapped in the face, the fat black man treated Gao Gong coldly and brought out another prosthetic doctor to challenge Gao Gong.
From the perspective of a senior engineer, since the gang leader in front of him does not intend to continue to make drawings for him, it means that the other party has no use value.
It's just that some time ago, the senior engineer had been busy switching jobs as a cyber hacker and had no time to deal with the other party. Who would have thought that the other party would actually come to his door.
"Boss Gao, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything."
In the transformation room, the senior engineer asked Baozi to serve him tea. In Baozi's sneaky eyes, he got straight to the point.
"Hey, how can I," Gao Jin rubbed his hands and looked honest, "Isn't it that I have been busy with organizational building and personnel transformation some time ago?"
"Organizational building, personnel transformation, so boss Gao has obtained the 'vigilante' license?"
Vigilantes are equivalent to the security companies of cyber society and are an upgraded version of gangsters.
In the city that never sleeps, gangs are illegal organizations, while vigilantes are 'franchise agencies'.
These days, 90% of the gang wars in the outer city are caused by these three newly issued license plates.
"It's almost, just a little bit," Gao Jin drank the tea in one gulp and exhaled.
"How much is this little bit?"
"Every relationship has been taken care of, who would have thought that a dragon crossing the river would block the way."
"who?"
"The evil trust gang."
"Oh, old gangsters," Gao Gong glanced at the other party, your welfare gang is the dragon across the river, okay? They are old gangs, they are the tigers in the mountains.
"So, you are competing with the evil gang to take photos together."
