Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

And, to do the real thing.

"Upgrade? But didn't you already upgrade last time?"

Sasha quickly followed Luo Qi, not seeing any fatigue left by being trapped just now, and asked in a hurry.

Anti-EMP coating, camera jammer, thermo-optical camouflage, radar absorbing material, camouflaged deep dive plug and dust plug, motion detector, high-performance digital recorder, sound synthesizer, chip storage slot, network modem...

It's a hacker happy family bucket.

This has indeed strengthened a lot of their abilities, especially in terms of practicality and auxiliary functions, saving a lot of work.

"No, this time it's a more core upgrade."

Luo Qi glanced at her, and saw that Qi Wei and Lucy behind her were a few steps behind, but they never fell behind, so he lifted Sasha's hair and touched the joint on the back of her head.

"Well……"

Sasha made a sound similar to the sound of a kitten being scratched, and soon realized that this movement seemed a little too ambiguous, and quickly covered her mouth in front of Qiwei and Lucy.

"Relax and let me visit."

Luo Qi pressed his finger on the central port, and couldn't help but feel inside.

This action made Sasha's expression even weirder, and he quickly lowered his head and buried his face in his hair.

"Well, Level 3 equipment is a relatively early model. You can use this kind of thing to contain Arasaka's hackers, which is already very remarkable."

Luo Qi pulled out his hand, felt a little lost in Sasha, and stroked her head, just like rua a kitten.

Whether as an ordinary person or a network traveler, if you want to access the network and perform basic interactions, you need specialized hardware.

Network equipment has gone through a long period of development, and some have been completely eliminated by history, while others have been divided into six levels according to design concepts and uses.

PDA (personal digital assistant, personal digital assistant), such an external portable cyber panel, is a typical level 0 device.It does have some unique advantages, but manual operation not only prolongs reaction time, but also severely limits the usefulness of the device.

On this basis, the popular personal connection line has entered the stage of history.As a Class 1 device that can be seen everywhere, it can connect to various devices through specific interfaces and perform basic operations.But you can't use it to connect to cyberspace - the throughput is simply too small.The main advantage of this connection method is portability and concealment, because the personal connection line is a common cyber component, and the Trojan horse program used is difficult to be detected without thorough scanning, which is enough to meet the needs of daily life. network requirements.

More professional Netrunners, on the other hand, use Level 2 devices—ports that connect directly to their cortex for increased performance and data transfer speeds.And use some cyber eyepieces, usually a modified Mewtwo experience helmet, or special equipment to perceive and connect to the cyberspace under the 3D view.However, the consumption of the physical body also increases exponentially. The nervous overload system will heat up rapidly in the massive data throughput. If it cannot be controlled within the tolerance range of the human body, it will lead to various hazards including death.

Most third-rate hackers use level 2 equipment, or transitional models that can be called level 2.5 equipment.

Their cooling method is also very simple and rude, nothing more than a mixture of ice and water plus air conditioning, or any combination of them.

The market for Level 2 devices is broad enough that not only amateur hackers, but ordinary people with high demands on the Internet can also choose it as a homework aid.

The interface can also be placed on the nape of the neck instead of the back of the skull, which is an out-and-out advantage for some users who are looking for comfort.

As for the more advanced.

Luo Qi checked Qiwei and Lucy one by one.

Both Sasha and Qiwei use classic level 3 equipment, and the users are usually absolute professionals. The most obvious sign is the high-capacity neural interface directly connected to the occipital lobe, the last lobe of the brain hemisphere. This improves performance and speeds up data transfers.

To use this level of equipment, a "base station level" equipment is required.

The centerpiece is generally what's known as a hacker's chair, which is sometimes replaced with a modified dental recliner or massage chair.With this, the network walker can handle long-term operations in a comfortable posture without hindering data transmission.Basic monitoring system, medical system, and important monitoring equipment are also necessary for any professional base station.With these supporting facilities, a skilled networker can collect data from the deep web, or operate and control the system of an entire building, a smart factory, or even face powerful corporate hackers.

At this level, it is not impossible to use ice cube baths to cool down, but the human body will be frozen to death first, and the core temperature will still remain high.

Therefore, the professional cooling jumpsuit commonly known as black customer service is almost necessary, because the transmission rate of this neural interface is ridiculously high. If there is no effective cooling device, the user's blood will not boil slower than an electric kettle How many.

If they want to fight against the company's hackers, Sasha and the others have to choose a high-scale neural interface to connect to the cyberspace, which also means that all operations cannot be completed without the hacker chair.

But this is not enough.

Because as Arasaka's network walkers, they use more high-end level 4 equipment.

As the ultimate evolution form of Level 3 equipment, each component of Level 4 equipment is the latest, highest-end, and most powerful version on the market.

The most important thing, and also the direct difference between level 3 equipment and level 4 equipment, is that the networkers who use these equipment have one or even a group of complete servers as the backing of computing power.

Naturally, their base stations also have the most cutting-edge supporting facilities-including life support systems, cryogenic stabilization systems, blood cooling systems, and many other bells and whistles.

At this level of Netrunner, it's almost impossible to see them outside of a giant corporation.

Once encountered in cyberspace, the picture is almost more unbearable than "a little white rabbit encounters a group of fierce falcons head-on".

Among the three, Lucy's equipment is the most special.

She was adopted by Arasaka since she was a child, and then experienced cruel screening and training to become a deep net hunter.

To put it bluntly, the cyber child laborers who entered the deep network to salvage valuable data are even more shocking than the death rate of black coal mines.

Due to age and physical limitations, Arasaka installed the top level 4 equipment on these consumables, but did not carry out large-scale reconstruction of the spine and subcutaneous tissue.

So strictly speaking, the one on Lucy should be counted as a unique level 3.5 device.

This gave her a certain ability to fight against Arasaka, and it is precisely because of this that she was able to move between big cities and survive until now.

Even the voodoo gang hackers who were sent to the sky by Luo Qi's shock barrel, known as the top hacker group in the underground world, still don't have many level 4 devices.

There is only one reason——

It's so fucking expensive!

Not to mention the hardware related to level 4 equipment, which are all resources controlled by the company, and it is difficult to obtain them on the street, just like the experimental military tenderloin installed on David.

But the Supreme Armed Forces Tactics Department has it.

Paul has it.

The equipment in his room is all treasures that professional hackers would drool upon looking at, wishing to empty out overnight, it was as messy as a doghouse.

If Paul didn't say anything, Luo Qi almost thought that those things were junk on the side of the road.

Level 4 equipment?

Paul used the funds to buy a bunch, not for anything else, just to try all the flagship hardware on the market, and then give a comprehensive evaluation.

"It's all rubbish."

Yep, it's garbage.

It was rude, but Luo Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said after learning about the ratings of Netwalker's equipment.

"Level 4 equipment, do you want it?"

Luo Qi showed an evil smile, probably the feeling of fishing a little loli with a lollipop.

"Level 4!? Wouldn't that be too expensive!"

Sasha didn't expect such a surprise, and immediately showed excited eyes, but when he thought of the price of level 4 equipment, he became disheartened and cold again.

But Luo Qi...he definitely wouldn't lie to her.

Could it be that there are really level 4 equipment for them! ?

The thought rekindled her smoldering fire.

"..."

Qi Wei was silent behind her.

Then he counted with his fingers, and probably felt that the various debts owed to Luo Qi, including money debts and favor debts, would probably not be repaid in a few years.

So I just opened it up and stopped thinking about this kind of problem.

"If we were all level 4 equipment today, the situation would certainly not be so difficult. Anyway, thank you in advance."

Lucy estimated the three level 4 devices and the technical level of the three of them, and found that the situation might go in a completely different direction.

At least they might be able to hold off until Luo Qi arrives, instead of being in danger of dying at any time.

That's an Arasaka hacker with Level 4 equipment per capita!

"In that case, let's get in the car."

Luo Qi waved his hand and pointed to the giant beast that had just arrived nearby.

"Well, someone is coming..."

Sasha, who was still a little excited in the car, became a little nervous when he saw his sudden stop. Following his line of sight, he saw a dark high-end commercial vehicle slowly approaching the corner of the street.

"Who is that?"

Sasha asked secretly in a low voice.

Luo Qi looked through the car window, across the front row, and saw the man sitting in the back seat.

"A person with Level 5 equipment."

The vehicle stopped, but the driver did not get out of the car, but waited quietly in the car.

The two people who tried to follow were waved away by the people who got off the back seat, and then walked straight towards Luo Qi without turning.

Just when they thought a conflict was about to break out, the two reached out and shook each other.

"I have something to ask you, it's very important."

The man said sternly.

"Long time no see, Felix."

Luo Qi smiled calmly, and said without haste.

Chapter 710 IX Night City Bamboo Bar King

Looking at the serious and meticulous Felix, Luo Qi already had some calculations in his heart:

"I thought you'd find a sunny place, ask your servant to set up a small square table and parasol, and then make a pot of coffee."

"Do not make jokes."

Felix was not at all impressed by Luo Qi's slightly sarcastic teasing, "Hey... come with me, let's go to a place where no one will disturb you."

"Smile, you are really boring."

Luo Qi spread his hands, then nodded, "But this is the first time I've heard you sigh."

When Felix heard what Luo Qi said, he was taken aback for a moment, and soon regained his composure: "It's been a bit difficult recently."

"Difficult? Then don't do it."

Luo Qi looked at him exuding the exhaustion of "working overtime for a whole year without annual leave" all over his body, and felt a little emotional.

People's hearts are more tormenting than business affairs, this is really not covered.

What can be more tortured than human heart?

Of course, it's a bunch of intrigues in people's hearts and a lot of serious business that can't be done.

"Tsk tsk, internal and external troubles."

Luo Qi suddenly sympathized with Felix.

Serving in network monitoring is an excellent job, and the benefits and remuneration are not to be mentioned, but the requirements for technical skills and the Yali of Shanda University have also become an insurmountable hurdle.

Felix made a lot of money, presumably, but he never seemed to be happy.

Ah, it seems that he has always looked like this, but today his brows seem to be more tightly furrowed, as if there are many things entangled between his brows, bothering his head.

"Sorry, but I already have an appointment."

However, Luo Qi's reply was beyond Felix's imagination, "I'm going to take these girls to change to level 4 equipment. Don't you know that just now, those brutal and ruthless hackers in Arasaka openly attacked I came to the home of the mayoral candidate Perales. These little girls of mine acted bravely and stood up decisively to stop these bad guys who are doing evil and reckless. Just a click, and soon, they are outnumbered and learning art They are not good, and they will be punished for evil and promoted for good. This matter is worth learning for every civic-minded cyberwalker. Well, I decided to take them out to upgrade and upgrade, and reward rewards..."

While talking, Luo Qi saw that Felix's face gradually darkened, then he closed his eyes helplessly, and shook his head.

"You knew I was coming for you, didn't you?"

"Look at what you said, I don't have the ability to predict."

Compared to Felix's desperation, Luo Qi was very leisurely, with his arms crossed, "But you Internet monitoring people seem to be a little unskilled, remember to stand a little farther away when you peep next time."

"That's daily surveillance... er, never mind..."

Felix wanted to get angry, but he was shocked to find that talking loudly in front of Luo Qi didn't seem to have any effect, so he sighed again, "What do you want to come with me?"

Luo Qi remained unmoved, and continued to look in the direction of the giant beast, revealing a confident smile.

Qi Wei was a little nervous, while Lucy stuffed herself into the innermost part of the narrow back seat of the monster, for fear of being seen by this powerful Internet surveillance figure.

Only Sasha responded playfully to Luo Qi.

"I've already said, I want to accompany these girls to upgrade their network access equipment, alas... To tell you the truth, technology products these days are really too expensive, level 4 equipment is still hard to afford, level 5 equipment The equipment is just... ah, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, anyway, it's a good thing that can't be expected..."

Luo Qi said earnestly and sighed, his brows and eyes were full of pity, and his eyes from afar were desolate and lonely.
