Great Power Technology.

Chapter 491 Virtual Invasion, Barrier Breaker
"Break barriers".

This is the title of this simulation. Ye Zhou looked at the gradually disappearing subtitles, calmed down, and began to observe the surrounding environment.

This is a futuristic world, surrounded by countless high-rise buildings, perhaps because of the advancement of material science, those things that are still "buildings" in the concept actually no longer have the shape of buildings.

In order to reduce the occupation of the ground, most of the buildings are only supported by a slender column. After extending tens of meters upwards, they gradually expand at a certain height. From the boat's perspective, it looks more like a mushroom city.

In addition to those buildings whose foundations are still on the ground, Ye Zhou also noticed a small number of relatively small buildings suspended in the air. These buildings obviously did not use any anti-gravity technology that surpassed the limit of human technology, but still used The principle of reverse thrust, suspended in the air like a giant mothership.

Ye Zhou could see the fiery wake blowing out from under those buildings. There were no other buildings below these buildings, because the strong wind they rolled up was not suitable for human habitation at all.

But what's the point of such a design?

Just as Ye Zhou's doubts appeared, a subtitle suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Suspended convenient buildings are generally used by organizations that need frequent transfers, such as professional construction companies and building inspection agencies, migratory bird factories, high-end planting enterprises, large-scale service industries for specific groups of people, etc."

Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then he immediately realized that the BCI chip implanted in his brain was working.

When the BCI transmission technology is developed to the extreme, the human brain will be perfectly integrated with the computer, and the world in the eyes of humans will also begin to change.

As Ye Zhou's thoughts flashed, a menu began to appear in front of his eyes:

"Compact Mode (Current)".

"Information Schema".

"Knowledge Mode".

He tried to switch different working methods for the BCI chip, and the things he saw also changed in different ways.

These three modes are divided according to the auxiliary information density, the information density is the lowest in the concise mode, and in the knowledge-seeking mode, almost all object surfaces are mixed with introductory labels about them.

Ground rails for personal travel, huge artificial lighting walls, and green plants modified by genetic technology
What surprised Ye Zhou the most was that in this world, the billboards and neon lights that appeared most often in cyberpunk concepts completely disappeared.

All the buildings and facilities reveal a minimalist aesthetic. The smooth walls and uniform color scheme make people feel like they are in a post-modernist painting.

Of course, this does not mean the disappearance of advertisements. In fact, Ye Zhou has seen hints about removing advertisements in the brain-computer interface, and this function seems to be open to everyone. Pay off like that.

This is also very easy to understand. When the productivity develops to the extreme, the competition of enterprises will also reach the level of almost absolute transparency. At this time, even if the advertisement does not disappear, its role has been greatly reduced.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath, withdrawing his thoughts from the impact of this future world, and then, a lot of information about the simulated background quickly flooded into his mind --- this time, the speed of the information flow Almost at the millisecond level.

From the background, he knew his mission this time.

In this era, as Ye Zhou saw, the development of BCI technology has reached a super high level, almost all human activities are integrated with BCI technology, very few people will insist on rejecting BCI chip implantation.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the way of human information interaction. A large amount of information is inherited in the central quantum server and distributed to each individual. The collection of each human information source forms a brand new "Internet".

This is a highly efficient way of information exchange, but the problem is that behind every seemingly perfect solution, there is often a crisis. For example, the human world is facing a frequent threat now.

"Virtual invasion."

Through transmission channel interference and virus intrusion, certain groups can directly bypass the BCI firewall, manipulate the BCI chip to send information to the human brain, and change the sensory information received by the human body, thereby creating a world completely different from reality for them.

This type of invasion can cover an entire small city at its worst, that is, when a virtual invasion occurs, the entire city's humans are living the same dream.

And now, the city in front of him has actually been invaded by virtual reality, but the invaders did not immediately launch a full-scale attack, and the people in the city are still acting according to their normal life order.

No one knows when the attack will take place, and no one knows what form the attack will take. What Ye Zhou can do is to find out the "interference source" of this invasion and find a way to destroy it.

Isn't this just a variant of the matrix?

Wouldn't destroying the source point be equivalent to giving everyone a red pill?
Ye Zhou cursed secretly. His first reaction was to physically cut off the power of the BCI chip. The flashing message immediately disappeared, and the real world appeared before his eyes.

Fortunately, this world was not any different from the world he had seen before.

He let out a long sigh of relief, shook his head, and dispelled the short-term sluggishness after the BCI chip was turned off, and then set foot on his personal track and began to head for the destination of his trip.

It was a building called "Outlying Island", and all the people living there were full-time staff who had not been implanted with BCI chips. Their organization was called the "Emergency Surveillance Monitoring Team", and the people gave them I went to a more secondary, but also more appropriate name:
Disabled person.

In their eyes, there is no illusion.

If you want to solve the virtual invasion crisis in this city, you must first find this group of barrier-breakers.

The personal rail transit that Ye Zhou called also made him very novel. It seems that there are strong magnetic tracks under the ground—or the entire ground is actually made of variable magnetic materials. As long as you enter the suspended cockpit, the cockpit will start to move along Proceed along the planned route.

After only ten minutes, Ye Zhou had crossed the distance of half a city, and came to that very special old-fashioned low-rise building that was almost unique in this world.

This building is only five stories high, and the decoration style can be said to be the same as Ye Zhou's own era - even a little older. Ye Zhou walked to the artificial sentry box because the BCI chip had been turned off. After iris identification, they entered the building smoothly.

And there, someone was already waiting for him.

"Ye Zhou, right? I'm Liu Dong, just call me Da Liu. I'm in charge of the unified command of this operation, and now we're sharing information."

While talking, Da Liu brought him into the meeting room, then pointed to the screen and continued:

"At present, we have analyzed the source of the interference. The other party's interference mainly relies on the relay interference method. They invaded the communication channel from the personal terminal to the terminal base station through high-energy particle interference, and tampered with the transmission information there."

"At this stage, they have not carried out large-scale BCI information tampering actions. We speculate that they may not have completely broken through the brain-computer firewall, but as the AI ​​virus's interpretation of the regular signals of human brain activity deepens, it will be sooner or later to bypass the firewall. matter."

"Based on the experience of the previous attacks, they may manipulate the brain computer to tamper with the perceptual signals, lure the victims to perform dangerous actions, and cause mass panic."

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

Ye Zhou frowned and asked.

"I don't know for the time being. The current worldwide investigation of this organization is still on the surface. They are like ghosts, unpredictable."

"However, according to intelligence, most of the current attacks are actually some kind of temptation - their fundamental purpose is not to kill people, but to control people."

"If their technology is further matured and combined with certain psychological methods, they are likely to subtly affect the world view of most people, change their inherent behavior patterns, and thus achieve their interests."

"To give a very simple example, they can modify the visual signal in a small range to make a certain color appear more frequently in the victim's world, so as to achieve the role of aesthetic guidance and induce the victim to prefer related products."

"Of course, although I said this is a simple example, their current operations are obviously not up to this level. Now their interference with the signal is fragmented, chaotic, and endogenous-in short, it is create hallucinations."

"Such disturbances can easily cause group confusion and are very dangerous. Therefore, our task is very heavy."

After listening to Liu's words, Ye Zhou nodded slightly and asked:
"What's the plan? Do we have a clue to the organization?"

"There are clues."

Da Liu waved his hand, and a whole city map appeared on the wall, with several bright spots marked on the map.

"These three areas are the central area of ​​the interference intensity we are currently detecting. We judge that the interference base stations they have deployed are likely to be located in these areas."

"We will take direct measures. I, Xiao He, and Lao Chen each lead a team to arrest them directly. You follow me."

"Is it dangerous?"

Ye Zhou frowned and asked.

"There must be, but their equipment and weapons are relatively backward. Wearing protective equipment is not a big problem."

"You are also an experienced veteran, so you should be able to deal with this problem. By the way, I suggest you shut down the BCI system in advance, even if you are connected to the military network. After you reach the core area of ​​interference, the difficulty of protection will also increase." Step up, your BCI is also at risk."

"understood."

Ye Zhou nodded and answered. After continuing the short exchange, Liu took him to the equipment room to collect the equipment. Afterwards, the group set off immediately and rushed to the mission location that had been planned long ago.
