Chapter 539 152. Steady Progress

Small flat head, prototype of MTOD12.

What does prototype mean? To explain it in the sense of the word, it refers to the first batch of machines for testing or mass production prototypes manufactured according to the design drawings during the development of a new machine. The number may not necessarily be only one, so when Carl and his friends saw this group of people take out the small flat head, they were not too surprised.

These things that have development prospects at first glance, it would be strange that military technology only made one. Even if it is a prototype, according to the attitude of military technology, which is not short of money and rich, it must make a batch.

However, from the appearance in the projection, this small flat head is still a little different from the small flat head that Carl and his friends have.

That is, the color of this small flat head before the optical camouflage is activated is whiter than the small flat head that Carl and his friends have.

In other words, it is not painted.

The main material of the small flat head is titanium alloy fiber, and the color of the titanium alloy fiber itself is silvery white or grayish white, and the color now displayed in the projection is this color.

"It looks like after the Vortex Gang robbed the goods, they didn't have time to paint the second flat-headed robot."

Oliver watched the spider-like combat robot stand up from the box and start to move, and said: "It's moving. Looking at the trajectory of its movement, it is really heading towards the ventilation duct. Is there a view from the next door?"

"It's ready."

Watching the flat-headed robot open the ventilation duct under control and get into it, Carl slid his phone to switch the camera, and in the projection, the surveillance footage of the house next door was displayed in front of everyone.

The room where this group of military technology personnel stayed was the closest room to the monitoring room except for the rooms where guests were already staying. In other words, when the flat-headed robot went through the ventilation duct to the monitoring room, other rooms along the way were already occupied.

Living in the room next to the group of military technicians was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He had long black hair and a beard. He was staring at the game screen on the TV in front of him. He was completely unaware that the ventilation duct next to him had been opened, and a spider robot with optical camouflage had been activated came out of it.

"Hideo."

Carl flipped through the information in his mind: "He seems to be a famous movie and game designer. He has lived in the Blue Sky Building for a month. It seems that he came to Night City to find inspiration. Do I need to pay attention to him?"

"He should not be an accomplice."

Arasakaze Nobu shook his head: "I have heard of him. I have played the games he made before. He is a world-famous person. He has received too much attention. Moreover, he is Japanese. Military technology will not hire a famous Japanese who has no military power as its outpost personnel."

"I have heard that there is darkness under the lamp. There is also darkness under the bright lamp. But this time my opinion is the same as yours."

Staring at the face, Carl nodded, and then saw that the short-haired man did not stop, and went straight to the ventilation duct connected to the next room.

In fact, after the optical camouflage was activated, it was difficult for Carl to see where the flat-headed man was with his eyes alone. In other words, even if Oliver, who had the best artificial eye in the team, could see it, it would be difficult for him to tell the specific location of the flat-headed man. After all, the technology used by the flat-headed man was the latest type, and the optical artificial eyes on the market had not yet been upgraded to that level.

But not being able to see does not mean "invisible".

The body cannot be seen, the sound cannot be heard at this angle, and the wind of movement cannot be felt, but it is enough to see the change of the picture for a moment.

The principle of the optical camouflage technology is similar to that of chameleons, and even the method it adopts is similar to the principle of biological color change, which is to constantly change the crystals of the pigment cells in the surface layer of the chameleon's skin, refract the outside, and keep the body in a posture that blends into the surrounding environment.

With today's innovation, this technology has far surpassed the object it once imitated - "chameleon".

Compared with chameleons, which need to adjust the temperature and take one or two seconds to change their own colors, optical camouflage can complete the adjustment in less than a blink of an eye, allowing the body to continuously blend into the surrounding environment, and even blend in in real time during action.

However, although this ability of "integrating while moving" surpasses chameleon, it also leaves a flaw.

That is, if someone can really see the blur and change of the environment for a moment, that person can capture the location of the optical camouflage user or object.

This is not without such cases in the test. Some personnel can capture the traces of optical camouflage users once or twice after activating the artificial body such as Sian Westin or Krenzikov;

But to capture that speed in the slow time of the senses, there must be enough coincidence and sharp enough eyes, so it is regarded as one or two individual cases under big data, and the research and development of optical camouflage has never paid much attention to this aspect.

But this individual case is no longer an individual case in Carl's eyes.

In Carl's careful and focused observation, the movement of the short-haired man is like a piece of cloth that is constantly torn and painted with colors, changing with the stretching, and slowly moving and deforming one by one.

The flat-headed man moved very quickly. After passing another suite where no guests were in the room, he had already arrived at the security room, which was only a hair's breadth away from the room where the network administrator hacker was.

"I have switched to the camera in the room where the network administrator hacker of the Blue Green Building is located."

When Carl used Arasakase Nobu's authority to switch to that camera, he saw that the flat-headed man pulling the surrounding colors had come to the front of the network administrator hacker.

"It looks like this flat-headed man is going to connect through the hacker's network?"

Oliver stared and frowned: "Is he going to burn the hacker's brain?"

"No, they chose a safer way."

If the security guards outside heard the noise and came in, it would be bad. The death of the hacker would cause a commotion in the entire Blue Green Building.

"They changed the transmission path, causing the hacker to fall into a data shock, and his nerves could not bear it for a moment, and he was deeply dizzy."

T-BUG also watched the operation of the flat-headed man through the shared perspective. This action surprised her greatly: "This method, not many hackers can do it."

"Maybe one of my guesses is right."

After Carl said something that T-BUG did not understand, he frowned and saw the flat-headed man pulling the wire and connecting to the mechanical body.

"How long will it take to invade and take over the authority?"

"It depends on the efficiency, but if there is such a hacker, four hours should be enough."

Four hours?

It only takes four hours to take over the network of an important hotel controlled by Arasaka

"I understand, then let's start the action in four hours."

Carl put his mobile phone over there, sat on the sofa, picked up a bucket of French fries, and controlled the TV to play a video.

The video was playing the room surveillance that Carl had recorded in advance.

The final investigation.

Arasaka Nobuyuki also confirmed the news at this time.

"Lord Nobuaki, we have already controlled the itinerary of the White Whale (Kujira). Saburo Arasaka is heading towards Night City and is expected to arrive in four and a half hours. Do we need to control the time?"

Arasaka Nobuaki calculated the distance from the port to the Blue Sky Building and replied:

"Don't let Saburo Arasaka's men find out. Make some obstacles. Make it look like I noticed his arrival and wanted to escape from Night City. Make my subordinates hinder me. Spread false news and let him speed up to catch me so that he can arrive in four hours."

"We understand, Lord Nobuaki, please be safe."

The message stopped.

Arasaka Nobuaki was ready.

The plan that was originally rushed and I didn't know if it would succeed, now seems to be progressing steadily step by step with the addition of military technology.
