Chapter 1135 Vulcan
The monitoring system of the sanatorium is not strict.
This is of course determined by the nature of the sanatorium. The "Cloud Sanatorium" operated by Superman Enterprise on the top floor of the super building is mostly for employees who come for vacation. This is part of the company's welfare. Most of the residents who vacation here are relatively young company employees - this means that there are actually few Homo sapiens here, and there are basically no disadvantaged groups such as the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and there is no need to "help residents after an accident".
On the contrary, a small number of old employees will choose the hot spring sanatorium built by Superman Enterprise near Mount Fuji in Japan. There are almost no benchmark people there, all of them are truly old employees. Benchmark people will not go there for vacation - the water temperature of the hot springs there is cold water for benchmark people.
Everyone comes here to relax. In addition to the public space that is basically covered by surveillance, there are basically no surveillance cameras in more private spaces.
If the sensitivity of the smoke alarm and thermal sensor is adjusted to the highest, even if someone walks by with a takeaway, it will be triggered and sprayed, then the area covered by this alarm equipment will never have a fire. However, this area. The cost of this approach will far exceed the benefits.
The same is true for the surveillance system. "Surveillance without blind spots" will create extra pressure. After all, this is a vacation place.
This also gives Xiangshan a little room to move.
Xiangshan's artificial eye rotates in the eye socket in a way that humans cannot accomplish, quickly sweeping around and locking all surveillance cameras.
Although everyone's artificial eyes are in the hands of the country thieves, "the intelligence of the artificial eyes will indeed be intercepted and used for surveillance" is a piece of news that cannot be exposed in any case, and no evidence can flow to the outside world. Therefore, the team that handles the surveillance information of the artificial eyes is also very small.
"Monitoring through artificial eye intelligence" is a mechanism that can only be activated in very rare cases. The country thieves will only use it on a large scale when they do something as big as "raiding Xiangshan".
The security guards in the security department of the sanatorium who are responsible for watching the surveillance are employees hired by the company, and they are there in a serious manner.
The power held by the country thieves is indeed terrible, but after spreading it across the world, it is no better than "ordinary passers-by".
Xiangshan hummed a song and turned around. In the eyes of others, the guy holding the package was dancing for some happy event. But in fact, Xiangshan just tried to ensure that when he entered the camera, his face could be mostly covered by the package box.
This face is certainly not his own face, so he is not afraid of being recognized. But at the same time, this face has no authority to stay here - this face is just an external visitor, and this is an internal sanatorium.
Thanks to the easy-going style of the founder and chairman, the corporate culture of Superman Enterprise is quite free and casual. Xiangshan's movements are not exaggerated. Soon, he passed the lobby with the most stringent surveillance and headed towards the rest area.
The rule of this place is "the more public the function of the space, the more stringent it is, and the more private it is, the rarer it is." Unless the play itself brings certain risks, not many people are willing to play with relatives and friends under strict surveillance. But no surveillance at all will make people feel insecure.
The corridors of the accommodation area are full of surveillance, but there is no surveillance inside the room, and it is unlikely that there are hidden surveillance cameras. The head of the company's security department was once the world's most dangerous criminal in the field of information security, and there are also many old hackers who have been recruited in the security department. Among this group of problem children, there are even some people with paranoid delusions who are fighting wits with the FBI or the air FBI. Such people occasionally come to the company's sanatorium for vacation. Some people even come to the sanatorium just to see if the company has any evil, secret surveillance plans.
These people's small efforts, of course, cannot stop the country-stealing actions of cutting off the source of funds. However, when the country-stealing initially succeeded, this little effort also prevented the country-stealing from instantly eliminating all resistance.
Although this "room" can only exist for a short time.
Xiangshan's direction is a space between the restaurant and the accommodation area. In these floors, the buffet restaurant, sky garden, hot springs and accommodation areas are cleverly integrated to form a staggered three-dimensional layout.
Xiangshan didn't want to rest directly in the accommodation area. It's just that the security system here has probably been tampered with by "Vulcan". If it is not necessary, Xiangshan does not want to conduct illegal operations inside the building. He could forge his identity outside in a government-affiliated system, but he couldn't do anything illegal here. That would only alert the enemy.
And Xiangshan's real purpose was the most easily accessible unmonitored space at this moment - the shared lounge.
Superman Enterprise has equipped temporary lounges near all dining areas that serve alcoholic beverages. Many years ago, Xiangshan, who never drank, was responsible for stuffing drunken partners into this kind of lounge. In this kind of lounge, the person who applies for use, the person who actually uses it, and the person who checks out at the end are basically not the same person, so there is no need to use an employee card at all. Most wearable smart devices can unlock the door lock of the "unused" room through Bluetooth and set a temporary password. The room will automatically reset its status after detecting that there is no one in the room for eight hours.
Strictly speaking, this is indeed a loophole that is easy to exploit. But, but, most people will default to this place as a "safe area that has been heavily checked" because of the security check at the door of the building, the authority check of the elevator, and the access control outside the sanatorium area.
Besides, this place is not a research institute nor a private place for senior management, but a vacation area for ordinary employees.
Normally, no one would stare at this place to cause trouble.
Xiangshan glanced at the lounge. Very good, the two rooms that are most advantageous for the operation are still idle.
In the lounge, Xiangshan quickly unpacked the express delivery.
Most of them are parts or mechanical modules.
The prosthesis that Xiangshan is using now is a very compliant ordinary prosthesis on the surface. And in order to pass the security check, he almost did not carry explosives. His function enhancement modules and weapons are all transported in this way. These parts have been disassembled to the extent that "there is no problem in the routine security check."
However, as long as they are taken out of their respective express boxes and reassembled, things will be different in an instant.
Xiangshan first spent about half an hour to preliminarily assemble the pile of parts and modules. Then, he fixed his arms with his knees and completed the replacement of both palms and wrists. Then came the reinforcements inside the calves and thighs...
Now, the height of this visitor has increased by ten centimeters, which will make him more conspicuous in the crowd. But there is no way around it. Only in this state can Xiangshan truly possess the "supernormal" athletic ability.
Xiangshan changed his clothes to cover his figure. At the same time, he also put on gloves to make his hands, which were more functional than realistic, less dazzling. This outfit looked like someone who had just come on vacation. Xiangshan even changed his eyes. The things removed from his body, together with the weapons he had just assembled, were stuffed into an oversized execution bag by Xiangshan.
Xiangshan stood in front of the large window of the lounge. There was another layer of glass curtain wall outside the window of this lounge. Xiangshan searched along the window frame. This layer of window could not be opened, and opening it would trigger an alarm. However, the mechanical structure of the alarm was primitive and reliable, so Xiangshan could also use primitive means to destroy it.
After doing all this, Xiangshan began to wait quietly. The view from this window in the lounge was good, and you could see another tall building to the left. When Xiangshan went to Chunshen for a trip as a child, it happened to be drizzling. That day, Xiangshan's parents took the young Xiangshan to visit the famous tall buildings in Chunshen. Xiangshan didn't know until he got there that there were three tall buildings. Between the three huge buildings, the wind was lost, rolling up water droplets, forming a white barrel-shaped mist, circling between the three buildings. Little Xiangshan was stunned, and from then on he believed that "several tall buildings" were the best buildings in the world.
And in the past six months, he and David have been staring at this place from the upper floors of the nearby complex.
Xiangshan and David initially guessed what identity "Vulcan" was hiding in this building. David and Xiangshan initially thought that "Vulcan" must be hidden among the many employees of Superman Enterprise, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him. But Xiangshan soon thought of a problem-how to solve the mutual trust problem between "Vulcan" and the real BOSS of the thieves?
After thinking about this step, Xiangshan suddenly became clear.
"Vulcan" may not be free. The thieves must ensure that they can physically destroy "Vulcan" at any time before they dare to use this hacker.
Yes, just like Zhu Xinyu had to wear a collar before the major powers dared to let her enter the park of the Rama Project.
No matter whether "Vulcan" was forced or voluntary at first. Once the plan is launched, the country stealers will never let him go free. Even if he is the initial team of the country stealer boss, the result will be the same.
After all, "stealing the country" is of great importance. This is something that has never happened in human history. And doing such a thing will most likely cause great psychological and emotional stimulation.
What if this kid suddenly can't stand it and pours out beans to passers-by?
Put yourself in his shoes. If Xiangshan is in the position of the country stealer boss, he will definitely deal with "Vulcan" in this way.
After the plan is launched, "Vulcan" will be away from the general employees of Superman Enterprise. He will be in a place where he can be physically controlled and isolated, but when necessary, he can use the best equipment to access the smoothest line.
In fact, there is such a place in this building.
There is also an area above the sanatorium on the top floor of the building for the use of senior managers of the company. Moreover, it is very close to the satellite signal station at the top of the building.
Among Xiangshan's many outrageous dreams, one is "There is a vegetable garden with a satellite signal station on the top floor of the super building."
Among his few extravagant consumption, this outrageous dream is included.
In short, after Xiangshan really did this in the building of the Beijing headquarters, everyone knew what the chairman liked, so the large resort on the top floor also built extra space according to the chairman's preferences. Some employees jokingly called it "Cloud Top Palace". And booking the "Chairman's Selected Suite" has also become a small trend within the company. There are always a few places on the top floor of each super-building of Superman Enterprise, which nominally belong to "Xiangshan and his friends".
David and Xiangshan have been observing the top floor area of the Superman Enterprise branch in Sap City for half a year. In this area that nominally belongs to Xiangshan but Xiangshan has never lived in, there are indeed people living.
At this time, Xiangshan saw an eagle flying outside the window. It spun in front of Xiangshan's window, drew an arc, and flew away.
That was the drone David was flying.
“‘As expected, no deviation’ and ‘Line 2’…”
Xiangshan hung his bag around his neck, gently dismantled the window frame, stepped out of the window, stepped on the connector between the glass curtain wall and the load-bearing column, and at the same time, he turned his palm over, and the weak suction provided by the vacuum pump allowed Xiangshan to fix himself. Xiangshan put the window frame back in place and slightly fixed it with quick-drying gel.
Xiangshan’s nose was against the outer wall of the glass curtain wall, and there was a 1,300-meter abyss under his feet. This was a posture that a normal human could not exert any force at all. The innate instinct squeezed Xiangshan’s illusory heart and lungs—Xiangshan completely replaced his internal organs, but the “heart-wrenching” illusion still burst out from his instinct, trying to drag him down and let him completely get rid of this terrible situation.
Xiangshan carefully groped on the load-bearing column behind him with his other hand, and fixed it with the help of the force provided by the vacuum pump. His feet carefully used the connector of the glass curtain wall for leverage.
With just a little skill, Xiangshan can move on this nearly 90-degree wall.
This primitive cyber warrior moved upward little by little.
Near the top, Xiangshan gradually approached another window. A window with a light on.
Xiangshan immediately had the urge to "rush in". All kinds of distracting thoughts - such as the feeling of "unstable feet" and the worry of "vacuum pump failure" turned into a strong impulse, driving the warrior to do this irrational thing. Xiangshan gritted his teeth and resisted this impulse. Xiangshan used the reflection of the glass curtain wall to observe the scene inside the window.
This doesn't look like a geek's room. It's an ordinary Nordic style decoration with some Indian mystical small objects. Only a computer can be seen. A gray-haired Indian man holding a coffee cup, looking out the window comfortably, and saying something.
"'Vulcan'... is it really you?"
This Indian man is the "Vulcan" of the year, but he has a little more old look on him.
Xiangshan had never heard of this kind of language, but from his expression, "Vulcan" was in an extremely relaxed state at this moment. "Vulcan" did not speak at the level of talking to himself, and it was obvious that he was talking to someone. Hackers of this level would be under strict control. Xiangshan felt that this should not be a remote connection, and there was a second person in the room.
From the attitude, "Vulcan" was even the stronger party in the conversation. This means that the people in the room are mostly not "bodyguards" and "monitors". Xiangshan can even judge from his experience of reading people that "Vulcan" defines himself as a "protector" when getting along with another person.
——Your weakness?
Then, "Vulcan"'s relaxed demeanor is also good news. The message it sends is that the "monitor" is not here.
"Vulcan" turned around and left the room. When he came to this room again, there was an ice cream ball in his coffee. He took a few more sips of coffee, turned his head and said something.
At this moment, Xiangshan had already come to his window frame, and one hand grasped the several centimeters wide protrusion of the window sill.
At the moment when "Vulcan" turned his body, Xiangshan exerted force with his palm, and one arm drove the whole body to fly, and his feet landed steadily on the window sill. At the same time, a window breaker fixed on the wrist in advance was attached. The electronically stimulated gunpowder pushed the tungsten steel firing pin to hit the glass. Cracks instantly covered the entire window.
Xiangshan's back made a short and cold force, breaking the glass with a technique similar to "Inch Force" plus "Iron Mountain Lean". He flew backwards into the room. His back hit the ground and then bounced up. In mid-air, Xiangshan adjusted his posture and took out his main weapon from his bag - a chain saw that was shaped like a long sword.
Before "Vulcan" could react. Xiangshan pounced on him and sawed off the guy's head with a chain saw. "Vulcan" lost his ability to move the moment his spine was cut off. But Xiangshan still cut off his head, and took out two pieces of metal foil from his bag, one to wrap Vulcan's head, and one to wrap Vulcan's body, to prevent possible alarms.
Xiangshan stood up and looked to the other side. A teenager - most likely a minor - came over with a big bucket of ice cream. From the facial features, he looked very similar to Vulcan, and it was unclear whether they were father and son or brothers. Xiangshan was very glad that this guy didn't see the scene of his beheading just now. He shrugged: "I'm sorry, kid..." He turned into a whirlwind and hit the boy's side neck hard.
Xiangshan originally wanted to knock the boy unconscious. But the back of the boy's head and neck were completely prosthetic. Xiangshan's punch knocked the boy to the ground. The boy screamed "Why!".
Perhaps because of nervousness, Xiangshan actually replied "Because I'm batman." His second punch almost broke the boy's neck. The boy finally stopped moving, leaving only his hands shaking. Xiangshan's hand trembled slightly. He felt that he was not ready to kill a child.
Xiangshan closed his eyes and reconnected to the wireless signal. He wanted to take over the electronic equipment that might be here. The thief would not allow such a big hacker to disconnect the network at will. Most of the wireless signals here are local area networks. Xiangshan planned to take away the work records of "Vulcan" from here to see if there was any way to save the thief from kidnapping all mankind.
The first thing Xiangshan touched was the only computer in the room. Xiangshan directly disassembled the case and removed the storage device. At this time, he also took over the cameras in the room. These cameras in the local area network are all under the control of "Vulcan". Xiangshan believes that this is probably set up by "Vulcan" to provide himself with a sense of security. Their target is probably the "bodyguards" sent by the thieves.
Xiangshan saw more things. He quickly screened out the things that might be valuable. Xiangshan was ready to stand up. But inexplicably, he knelt on one knee.
——This is...
His "idea" was not correctly executed by the body.
——There is a bug... No...
The bottom layer of the brain-computer interface, "self-awareness" to "motion signal" is still no problem. However, "motion signal" to "prosthetic recognition"...
External instructions hindered Xiangshan's operation.
The problem is the original parts of this legitimate prosthesis!
"Vulcan" is undoubtedly dead. Even if he wasn't dead, Xiangshan didn't think that head could release a signal strong enough to penetrate the metal foil for hacking operations by relying on the energy that might exist in the cranial cavity.
——No... No...
There is another possibility.
That boy.
Xiangshan fell to the ground. He looked at the boy.
The boy's hands were not shaking unconsciously. It was a state similar to blind typing.
"Vulcan" is just a title. The Indian man who was beheaded did hold this title in 29 years. But he may not always hold this title.
Sorry everyone, this chapter should have been updated a few days ago, but I encountered H1N1 these days, went to the hospital for intravenous drip, and had to take oseltamivir phosphate and endure the side effects of headaches, so I really couldn't write it.
