Chapter 670 Cryptopunk

Just as the Scimitar was suspended on the sea, a group of ‘old hunters’ happily accepted the transformation.

In the outer space of the same planet, in the asteroid belt beyond two satellites, a huge space fortress was moving rapidly.

Although this fortress did not move at the ‘speed of light’, it also lit up the ‘subspace technology’. Meteorites as big as mountains and as small as basketballs disappeared inexplicably wherever it passed.

What’s more terrifying is that this mechanical fortress, which is comparable to a mechanical city, is not only huge in size, but also has various types of third-level weapons hanging on it - rail guns, laser guns, various turrets, space torpedoes, celestial weapons, small combat spacecraft, etc., with tens of thousands of them. Even some giant space stations of third-level civilizations cannot match its firepower. Compared with it, the weapons of interstellar pirates are like fire sticks.

This ‘mechanical fortress’ rushed into the defense range of the machine cracking star with a reckless and reckless momentum.

The next moment, not only did the radiation layer of the Machine Rift Star swallow and spit out a large number of mechanical octopuses, but even Cybertron had interstellar spacecraft ready to be dispatched.

"Haha, haha, all of you get out of the way, I'm here to marry a wife!"

On the mechanical fortress, various mechanical parts split and combined to form a mechanical giant image thousands of meters high. The giant grabbed with both hands, and the next moment, a pulse with a range of hundreds of kilometers swept out, and wherever it passed, mechanical octopuses fell like rain.

At the same time, on various armed space stations around the satellite planet, all the turrets turned, and dense energy beams like rain shot at this mechanical giant.

"How can a mere near-orbit weapon attack hinder me!"

On the mechanical fortress, various types of engines began to operate, and defense platforms slowly rose one after another, and then the terrifying energy tide submerged everything.

"What monster!?" A middle-level military supply contractor was amazed. In the holographic projection, its energy weapons did not cause any damage to the opponent.

"I won't bother with you on my big day, otherwise, with my temper, I would have torn these little things apart long ago."

The mechanical old man turned his head suddenly and looked at one of the 'armed space stations'. Under the terrifying aura, all the screens of the space station exploded.

The 'energy level' displayed on the last exploded energy monitoring screen was 300 million!

The mechanical energy of a third-level civilization building is just over 100 million.

And the opponent's casual attack is 300 million.

Ordinary space fortresses can't do this.

This can only mean one thing, that the opponent's 'fortress' is equipped with higher-level weapons, such as - fourth-level civilization buildings.

"Why didn't the mother city respond?"

The owner of an armed space station murmured.

"Reporting to the master, it's probably because of this picture."

With the voice of artificial intelligence, a word 'thank you' that looks like ancient characters appeared in a blurry picture, which seemed to be the base of a space fortress.

"Xie Family, High Orbit Xie Family!?"

As cloud nobles among cloud nobles, the Xie family is not the trash of Cloud City, but the real planet nobles. According to rumors, he is responsible for the defense of the star zone for the mother city.

"This is a real space monster!"

"How can it return to the planet?"

"What did it just say, it, it came to get married?"

"Does it have a reproductive system?"

The operators of the armed space station were almost going crazy with satellite phones. Why did the other party appear at this time, what was their purpose, and whether it would interfere with the balance of combat power on this planet? All these questions were unknown.

However, they did not notice that ten mechanical giants with a height of 100 meters also followed the passage that "Xie Lao" used to kill into the planet and mixed in.

In space, the distance has become a terrifying number. Without a monitoring system, it is no different from a blind person.

These ten mechanical giants are Cybertronians, and they are professional law enforcers among them, responsible for dealing with some specific "planetary hazards".

According to them, catching bugs.

Their level has exceeded level 60, which is the upper limit of the second-level civilization. There are 65, 63, and 67.

The second level is the upper limit of the species on this planet, but it is not their upper limit.

At this time, the internal channels of these ten giants are actually discussing the same thing.

"Old man Xie is crazy again."

"He has been crazy for a long time. Mechanical life that is forcibly transformed by external forces is said to have this problem."

"By external forces, what external forces?"

"Not sure, it is said that some civilizations outside this star zone. You know, our cyber test site is also called the civilization cesspool. What if they go to the civilization parliament to sue you if you don't give them some benefits?"

"So, the Xie family is actually the representative of alien civilization?"

"The situation is more complicated. Social transformation is a difficult job. Many times, people are gone while being transformed. So we have to learn from the civilizations that have been successfully transformed and get some civilization transformation data. After a while, there will be business dealings."

"Ambassador?"

"What kind of ambassador? I think trade representative is more reliable."

"Is that so."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You won't forget why we came here this time, right?"

"To find the lost 'Big Scimitar'."

"This thing is easy to find. We have a locator, and a starship is so big that there is nowhere to hide it."

"Instead of caring about this, it's better to care about who Old Man Xie plans to marry when he clamors to get married."

"It's already mechanically alive, can it still marry a wife?"

"Why not? I heard that some mechanical civilizations can not only marry wives and have children, but also evolve by marrying wives."

"What kind of civilization is this? Can we Cybertronians get married?"

A group of Cybertronians who seemed to be on a mission but were actually gossiping leisurely entered the radiation layer.

…

And outside the real world.

In the fragments of a virtual world.

The group found what they were looking for.

place of simulacra

An image-generating world.

This is an encrypted data node known only to a few top hackers. Here, all data, signals, sounds, and smells are converted into ‘images’, all kinds of images.

There are even some images that are actually ‘viruses’, wandering around here and trying to infect others.

The further you go, the greater the chance of becoming ‘pictured’.

And once the 'image' is completed, you can never get out again.

‘Personality Simulator’ was born from here.

It can't remember exactly how it was born, but it vaguely knows that it was created by a few hackers who entered this place, performed a task, were contaminated by images, and merged with the remaining hacker codes.

It also tried its best to escape from here.

But this time, the hackers who entered were no longer as unlucky as the previous ones.

In fact, it is difficult to kill hackers who rank among the top 20, even if they are hunted down by super corporations.

They have more data clones, upload consciousness, hidden codes, and taboo virtual transformations than executives.

What's more, entering here this time is an 'information life' that has been promoted for some time.

There is a great advantage of becoming an 'information life', that is, at the 'low-level information level', no matter how complex the changes are, you can see through them at a glance.

Therefore, after cleaning up the image monsters, expelling several clones who may have been left here by other hackers, and folding a large range of images, the Birds of Paradise and the others got what they wanted by relying on their strength.

"Is this it?"

The bird of paradise looked at the thing in his hand, an old-fashioned player.

At this time, the bodies of these hackers were covered with colorful snowflakes.

Somewhat similar to 'Avalanche', but more colorful, this is 'Code Simulacrum', a possession software temporarily created by several hackers in order to adapt to this place.

"There seems to be a line of writing below," Poisonous Scorpion said.

Bird of Paradise turned the player over, and sure enough, there was a line of words on the base——

House 320, Third Street, East Lund District, donated by the Punk Family.

"'Lent City' seems to be the financial center of the ancient Northern Alliance, and the East Lund District is one of the neighborhoods."

"What's a punk family?"

"It is said to be a killer virus from ancient times."

"Interesting, today's hackers are looking for ancient viruses. Are they going to be retro?" a hacker complained.

Bird of Paradise turned on the player, put the 'Avalanche' tape in, and pressed play.

The dangerous avalanche and the scene that made people forget their memories did not appear. Instead, there were lines of ancient letters, which seemed to be the action plan of some underground organization——

We are committed to building anonymous systems. We safeguard our privacy through encryption, anonymous mail forwarding systems, digital signatures and electronic currencies.

Encryption allows for the necessary loss of control that hive culture craves in order to remain nimble and agile in the evolution toward ever-deepening entanglement

In the age of civilization, we create these tiny worlds with greater bandwidth and make them more interactive and deeply embodied. We have evolved from small static images to dynamic ‘virtual cities’.

If you want to become a god - you must give up your throne of domination and give way to those at the bottom.

"Looks familiar."

"Virtual cities, encrypted nodes, and cyber hackers, don't they look familiar? Did our industry begin to develop in the civilized era?"

Bird of Paradise took out the 'negative' again, and this time, the surface of the 'negative' was no longer garbled, there was only one line of text - Cryptopunk 331.4131 file

"Anyway, we have found the clues for the second phase, let's continue investigating."

"House 320, Third Street, East Lund District, check its current 'location'."

…

At the same time, an illusory figure slowly appeared in the data processing center of a super enterprise.

Gao Yuanyuan glanced around and walked directly towards the wall. As soon as she approached the wall, a door opened.

Gao Yuanyuan pushed the door open and walked in. What she walked into was not a fork in the road, but a human brain.
