Chapter 459 Chapter 456 Old Plan
Benefits and threats, beauty and terror... Lucy fully exerted her persuasive ability and stuffed all kinds of future expectations into Duva's mind, forcing him to agree to cooperate. As an observer, Zhuang Xuteng finally saw what a real negotiation was like and understood how difficult it was to obtain intelligence.
To cheat, to steal, to sell, to rob, to threaten, to frame... There was no such thing as "hitting it off at first sight", only "using whatever means possible" and "tit-for-tat". Even if there were indeed common interests between them - which was the fundamental reason why an agreement could be reached in the end - the negotiation process was quite intense.
If they did not have common interests - Zhuang Xuteng thought - it would not be "intense", it could only be "bloody".
Duva admitted that he had kept a lot of back-ups, including some black materials, and also detailed plans for almost every commissioned action. He made five backups of this information, and he was willing to give one of them to Lucy and gave her a single access right.
Obviously, before entering prison for retirement, Duva had thought that one day in the future he might have to sell some intelligence in exchange for benefits, so he set up a "single reading" mechanism. Although all the data is loaded in each backup, any attempt to crack it will cause it to start self-destruction directly. Duva gave a single access password, which was only enough for Lucy to get the reading and downloading permissions of one of the project folders. Since she didn't know what was in the other folders, Lucy could only follow Duva's instructions to get the details of "Operation Pin Insertion".
Zhuang Xuteng didn't need to do the trivial things of taking out the memory and reading "Operation Pin Insertion" himself. Lucy would send errand boys to do it, so as to leave time for Zhuang Xuteng to rest well and prepare for the next task.
How dare Zhuang Xuteng rest? He learned from the conversation between Duva and Lucy how difficult and complicated "Operation Pin Insertion" was, how regrettable it was that the work failed, and how hard the participants struggled to escape. He didn't want his next mission to become his last, nor did he want his career to be cut off by the identity list.
"Go all out, go all out, it's time to activate Kaho Wiggins's spoils."
It has been a month and eight days since Colonel Taff arrived in Peicheng. During this time, Kaho's things have been hidden on the rooftop of Zhuang Xuteng's apartment, in the equipment interlayer at the top of the elevator shaft. Zhuang Xuteng opened the elevator shaft, hooked out the oil interlayer bag from inside, and then took out the damaged armored jacket from it. Only this piece of equipment has no shadow from the equipment, and it is absolutely impossible to transmit positioning signals to the outside, so Zhuang Xuteng dared to take it out. Other things can only be identified by professionals after Colonel Taff and his team leave Peicheng.
Bringing this dress, Zhuang Xuteng called to confirm that Zhuang Feifei was in the studio, so he asked her to make time for him and find a studio where no one would spy on her.
Through in-depth cooperation with Bai Moji, Zhuang Feifei opened up the situation in the entertainment industry and gradually led her brand to have a good reputation. She has always been very smart, knowing to learn from the wisdom of the success of her predecessors, plus some popular innovations, knowing that she can't just focus on the line of high-end custom clothing, but must have the support of clothing with a large volume to develop stably. She decided: wherever the actors go, the advertisements will be there, and she will do the business of improving workwear.
Recently, she got her own production line by investing in it, and finally she can control the production progress by herself, and no longer have to look at the face of the manufacturer. This greatly improved her capital turnover speed and also increased her work pressure. It is easy to make mistakes when you are busy. Mano Ban almost turned her brand clothes into a striptease prop for entertainment, but the brand supervision force did not keep up.
"Brother, thank you for your help!" As soon as she saw Zhuang Xuteng, Zhuang Feifei gave him a big hug. "Luckily you stopped it, otherwise we can't get the injunction from the court until next week at the earliest, and it will be too late."
"Okay, now there's no one else, you can say that. Don't tell anyone else about this, don't let anyone know." Zhuang Xuteng put the bag of clothes on the workbench and said, "It's never a glorious thing to harm people. Even if the bad guys are to blame, we have to consider the bad guys' common interests."
"Well, I only say this when I see you. At other times, my mouth is sealed and I won't say anything." Zhuang Feifei looked at the bag on the workbench , and said: "What's in there? Do you want me to make clothes for you?"
"Today's job is to repair the clothes - but is it safe here?"
"This room is dedicated to measuring the body data of the most important customers, including underwear. In order to prevent paparazzi from secretly photographing, or being peeped by commercial spies - including mercenaries in this industry - the entire room is specially shielded for signals, information and surveillance isolation. Don't worry, I'm absolutely safe here."
"Nothing is absolute, let me see..." Zhuang Xuteng opened the vengeful spirit jelly, stared at the shadow eye, and scanned the room from top to bottom. "It's okay. From a mercenary's point of view, this place can be used."
"I said there is no problem!" Zhuang Feifei kept staring at the bag curiously, and signaled Zhuang Xuteng to open it with her eyes. She has made rules a habit, such as only taking clothes from others and not rashly touching the clothes brought by customers.
Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand these details. He just treated her like a sister and acted like a spoiled child to him like she did when he was a child. Open the backpack, take out the armor jacket with a hole in it, and lay it flat on the workbench. Its texture is not like clothes, but like a large piece of iron, which is amazingly stable.
"What kind of material is this? It feels so weird." As soon as she got started, Zhuang Feifei discovered something unusual except for the specific gravity. "It is soft when you rub it, similar to artificial leather, but with a little force or an impact, it becomes very hard, like steel. However, it absorbs the impact itself, then spreads along the surface, and then discharges from the edge. It hardly moves towards the edge. The impact force is transmitted internally... Yes, you can see the support structure here from the damage... This structure is so weird..."
The key is not the structure, but its material: it is a composite material with a natural spiral structure. It is divided into three types: white, green and red. They are intertwined with each other to form trunks and branches of different thicknesses, just like fish bones. Supports both inner and outer layers of clothing. The brothers and sisters carefully studied and found that this structure has completely different force transmission effects in the inner and outer directions: the force is exerted from the inside out with almost no resistance; the impact force from the outside will be guided away by the fish bones and will not be directed inward. transmission.
"I have learned a lot." Zhuang Feifei licked her lips, her desire for knowledge and work suddenly aroused. She carefully studied the damage of the clothes, and then said: "I can't imitate this support structure, so I can only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. Fortunately, the structure inside is repeated. I believe that all areas of the clothes are The same repetitive structure. How are you going to break it down?"
Kahuo is about five centimeters taller than Zhuang Xuteng, and his body is slightly bigger, so his clothes are exactly one size larger than Zhuang Xuteng's. This armored jacket is for autumn and winter, in the shape of a short windbreaker, with the hem just around the knees. Zhuang Xuteng wanted to shorten his clothes, that is, remove the bottom and patch it up to the top.
"Uh... you can't move it directly. I just reached out and touched it. The hem has a special structure. It has to completely resolve the impact force. I have to keep the bottom part, then intercept the upper link, move the hem upward, and then The cut-off parts are used as raw materials to repair damage and reconstruct the structural connections of the clothes.”
"You just need to have a plan, including changing to short sleeves," Zhuang Xuteng said.
"No way! What does it look like with short sleeves and a windbreaker shape? Besides, this dress must protect you. If it can't protect your arms and has no fighting power, it will be useless no matter how well protected you are. Believe me, I have improved clothes for the company and know their design ideas.”
"Then I listen to you." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and nodded, but still felt uneasy: "This clothes is very strong, can you take it apart?"
"You can't dismantle this thing with brute force. You have to follow the cutting seams to dismantle it. Hey, in a fierce battle, there is absolutely no way to do such delicate work. You can only find it by letting it sit still and groping slowly. ... Found it, right here.”
At this time, Zhuang Feifei's experience was revealed. She not only found clues that could be disassembled, but also determined the direction and steps for disassembly. She said that this kind of armored suit does not lay a skeleton inside and then put on an outer layer, but like ancient scale armor and ring armor, parts are "anchored" and connected together. This is more like the "mortise and tenon" structure in architecture. The connecting parts are usually very strong and integral, with almost no gaps visible. They can only be slowly disassembled according to specific methods.
After taking the clothes apart, they saw something beyond the structure of the clothes. It is a flat strap that goes up from the center of the back of the dress, bisects at the nape of the neck, and then connects to the shoulders and shows through. "I thought the armor plates on the shoulders were integrated, but I didn't expect there was a hidden groove. And this shadow energy control belt? An eight-channel one? Wow, I've only seen a four-channel one before."
Zhuang Xuteng probed his head and made sure again that there was no shadow energy response from this thing, and then asked: "What is it used for?"
"Transmitting shadow slave energy and shadow slave control signals is like a wire plus a control switch. Hey, there's no way you don't know this thing! Even if the mercenaries don't learn, there is this thing in the factory."
"I know this is an energy and control double line. I asked why it was hidden in the clothes? There is no shadow slave equipment in it!"
"I guess this is for internal and external communication." Zhuang Feifei touched the inner and back part of the clothes and said: "There should be something here. I can feel different feels. It should be an approximately round plate with one side It is adsorbed on the inside of the clothes, and the other side is connected to the implant. Do you know the kind of interface implant that supplies energy to the outside? "
"Oh! I understand! The board is still there, but it has a shadow chip, so I didn't bring it. There is an interface on the board, which should be connected to the energy port of the implant. I have this kind of implant on my back ...But the interface type seems to be different..."
"Let me see." Zhuang Feifei waited for Zhuang Xuteng to lift up his clothes, looked at his back, and said: "This is an old interface. Although it is classic, it is time to upgrade. But don't worry, the conversion parts are on the market. If you can buy it, I even helped a handsome old man install it!”
"Handsome old man?" Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes and sounded a little weird.
"A singer wanted to make a comeback and make money. He needed to power his bass when singing. He changed to a new bass with effects, but he didn't want to change the implant, and I just wanted to change his performance clothes, so I solved this problem. And it’s solved. Brother, you’d better bring that board over. I have to find out what model it is and then I can get an adapter for you.”
"Well, okay, I'll pick it up in a moment. By the way, what's the use of connecting this? Is it a shadow gun on the shoulder?"
Zhuang Feifei shook her head and said: "This stumps me. You see, although there are grooves in the shoulder armor, it is only anti-slip, not a hard-connected fixed structure. I think this is a very close-range The design of the connected shadow slave is to put it on and use it and detach it as soon as you take it. Um, a cloak? Or a backpack? "
"It should be a cloak." Zhuang Xuteng thought of the optical invisibility cloak and was basically sure it was it. "There is a cloak, a shadow slave device. It is quite sophisticated, but I can't find its control button at all."
"It may be built-in. You have to use the close contact communication on the shoulder armor, plus this wire, and the disc you didn't bring, to connect it to your implant, and then issue commands through your brain." Zhuang Feifei said: "The four major companies have different control protocols and methods. There are several types within our company. Some are for clerks, some are for combat personnel, and some are for senior executives. If you don't know the agreement, then..."
"Can you try them one by one? For example, try the ones made by Dingxin Magic?"
Zhuang Feifei put down the tools in her hands, pointed at the clothes and said: "Brother, look at this hole, it is definitely not bought in a store, it is probably stolen goods from a dead person. If your cloak is also stolen goods, you have to be more careful. : If that thing has security settings that send location information when you use the wrong protocol, you may attract the company’s security department.”
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry, as long as it's clothes, I have a way to dismantle them. If you look at what's going on inside, I can guess almost exactly how to use it." Zhuang Feifei continued to work, while dismantling the armor jacket. While saying: "It's best not to do this in Peicheng. It's best to go to the highway. And I have to make preparations first and shield the car's signal."
"When will we be ready?"
"Ah? Are you in a hurry to use it? It will take four or five days at the fastest. It's best to give me two weeks before I can prepare the car and workbench." Zhuang Feifei tapped the table with her knuckles and said, "Just It will take me a whole day to finish this armored jacket. Not only do I have to disassemble it and reassemble it, but I also have to change the color, and preferably some camouflage effect, such as making it look like a different shape. I don’t want you to be caught as a thief when you go out wearing this.”
"You're very thoughtful, please make sure you change it beyond recognition."
"It doesn't have to be completely unrecognizable. As long as it has no characteristics, it doesn't look conspicuous at all, and you won't be able to recognize which company it belongs to."
"Does it have the same effect as my popular face?"
"Yes, the same effect, brother with a popular face."
