Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Roach said.

Then he watched Johnny and Paul shake hands.

"The hackers of the Terrorist Mobile Squad, to be honest, I thought you were the only ones with guns here."

Johnny was more than welcome.

"Ah, basic personnel are also very important. We can provide a variety of support, and in some cases, hacking skills are more effective than bullets."

When Paul talked about these things, he talked about them without end.

"Stop, we're here for something important."

Luo Qi felt a little headache.

"Well, that's right, this friend of mine needs... Forget it, let's just talk about it."

He rubbed his temples.

"He's going to go through the black wall to find a wandering AI called Ott."

It was no burden for Luo Qi to say this.

But Johnny was taken aback by his directness.

Although Luo Qi told him that this is a place where the problem can be solved, he still feels a little worried about directly confessing to someone he is not familiar with.

But when I think about it, I have to go through this step sooner or later, it's better to say it from the beginning.

On this kind of issue, he was not as transparent as Luo Qi.

"Oh~ I see, those targets you just looked for to attack the black wall were just to find him."

It has to be said that Paul's skills in seeing through but not telling through are basically negative.

But fortunately, neither Rocky nor Johnny is an awkward person.

"You want to go through the black wall? No problem, little meaning."

Paul is always reassuring when it comes to technology.

"But I can ask, what exactly do you want to find a wandering AI?"

What exactly to do?

This is the key to true secrecy.

Rocky and Johnny looked at each other.

"Okay, let me tell you."

Roach said.

"This roaming AI called Ott Cunningham is...Robert's...an old acquaintance. It's just that many years have passed, and they have been separated for a long time, so I wonder if they can reunite."

Roach chose his words carefully.

Not a single word in this sentence is false, but a lot of key information is missing.

What a shit Robert.

What nonsense old acquaintances.

In Rogge's words, Johnny was thinking about that fruit all day long.

But in fact, it is understandable to change the angle and think about it.

For Johnny, yesterday was 2023.Then he sank from the pain for 10 years, determined to save Otto during Arasakata's operation that night.

Just fail and watch the world turn upside down?

After knowing the news that Otto still exists, Johnny has actually kept this matter as one of his many concerns and buried it in his heart.

Until the voodoo gang was completely wiped out, and then Otto showed up and "eat" them all.

As one of the most important roaming AIs attacking the black wall in recent times, Ott's image is not well-known, but it is easy to connect this terrifying cyberspace monster with the woman who was trapped in the data back then.

For the companies, even for Arasaka, the name Otto means a lot, but her greatest value lies in the compilation of Soul Killer's initial inspiration code and its gradual improvement.

The current Soul Killer, like Relic, has become a part of the eternal life plan. There is no difference at all whether there is Otto who has been missing for an unknown number of years.

Someone who really cares about her?

Only Johnny left.

But Luo Qi brought Johnny here today, not because of what Otto can bring to them, but so that Johnny will not fall into any trap or be deceived, or trigger something when dealing with "it". Great stuff.

"But before we start, I think we'd better check the information about Otto."

Rocky emphasized.

"Of course, of course, no problem."

After being told this, Paul realized that he had other things to do before he excitedly showed his superb skills to others.

So Paul began to operate quickly.

NCPD's database is very comprehensive. Of course, this comprehensiveness is not for everyone.

They have no way to extend the intelligence eyeliner to thousands of households to determine any movement in the entire city.

To some extent, their control over citizens' personal information is even worse than that of some companies.

But in places where people can't see, there is a lot of information that only officials can access, but it is extremely rich.

For example, the roving AI assessment reports on black walls and deep networks.

The information is very fragmented.

Just like before the first information summary document that someone specially sorted out, most of the information about something actually existed on the Internet in this form.

Just like those nameless AIs, they will not write their names on their faces, and then show their identities with great fanfare when they appear in front of the network security system.

Paul chose the reverse retrospective method.

From the black wall security records starting from the present, the roaming AI named Otto was confirmed, and then the date was reversed bit by bit.

What is more shocking is that Otto's method of attacking the black wall is basically visible to the naked eye and changes with each passing day.

From the humble beginning, to the end full of tricks.

I have to admit that AI's self-learning ability is indeed very powerful. , but it is a pity that Black Wall is also an AI, and both in size and learning resources are much richer.

As long as a method has been tried to attack the black wall, the black wall will learn and take precautions against it.

The main way of running AI learning is to analyze existing data and materials, and then conduct batch trial and error.

In this process, a lot of resources are consumed.

It's hard to say whether it is Ultra or the black wall that has become stronger, but what is certain is that this is a process of co-evolution.

Occurs between two clumps of data.

In the recent period, Ott has obviously realized the helplessness of conventional methods against black walls.

So she began to look for methods that had never appeared before. Although most of them were ineffective, they did weaken the ability of the black wall to predict.

Time continues to fall forward.

Before Otto launched an attack on the black wall for a long time, there was already a lot of data showing that she had appeared around Night City.

But signatures are also an ever-changing thing.

So they can't directly go back to 2023 to see what Otto was like at that time.

They can only use the 2077 Otter to push back little by little.

During the Great Reconstruction Period, that is, in 30, more than 2045 years ago.

With the redevelopment of the city, the network resources of the city subnet are getting more and more attention from these AIs who are used to finding resources in the Badlands.

It was around this time that CyberWatch developed a project called Blackwall.

The word "AI" should not have been treated so unfairly.

People fear AI, lose a lot because of AI, and spend a lot of precious resources protecting the network.

At this point in time, using a new AI against the old rebel AI sounds like an unacceptable move.

Apostasy.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon.

But the results speak for themselves—

Internet surveillance, as well as governments around the world, have successfully used a black wall to protect their newly constructed subnets for people to use.

People also believe that the black wall is an impenetrable firewall, just as the network surveillance publicizes.

Instead of AI.

Not many people know this secret, but in circles who are capable of knowing this secret, it is not a secret at all.

Except for those doomsday terrorists who have nothing to do all day long, there are not many people who have any panic about this kind of thing that has been safe for decades.

Of course, under special circumstances, anything, even a fabrication, can be a source of panic.

So on the surface, everything is peaceful and peaceful.

Going back to this period, the data start to become extremely incomplete and fragmented.

This is entirely due to the aftereffects of the fourth corporate war in 2023.

The city needs to be rebuilt, the society needs to be restarted, and the order needs to be reshaped.

The panic and losses caused by the second turmoil were actually not small at all.

Paul didn't know very well, but for some old men in the terrorist mobile team, that era was not too far away.

Luo Qi didn't intend to bother them because of this.

At that time, the black wall was not established, so the relevant recorded data was completely interrupted.

It can be seen that although network monitoring is dark, ruthless, and dereliction of duty all day long, there is indeed something in it whether it is technical skills or when it comes to doing big things seriously.

The appearance of the black wall can be said to redefine the bad network environment at that time.

Organized and disciplined, no longer fighting alone, facing enemies from both sides, uneven.

A new order has been established, and Night City has thus entered the latest stage of rapid development.

During this period, not only Night City, but the entire state of California and even the west coast of the United States have not found any valid records about Ott.

Only some plausible fragments were found in some fragments of information that came across the ocean.

But this is still not enough evidence to lock the source.

After all, the program code that Ott learned may be a massive study of the big data on the Internet at that time using artificial neural networks.

The same code may have been used by another AI, or simply by someone before.

Then the method of tracing back to the source through the ages will fail.

But they don't have other options.

The information between 2013 and 2023 is actually not as scarce as imagined because of its age.

in other words.

The chaos between 2023 and 2045 is actually a by-product of the fourth corporate war.

Until then, the world was actually doing pretty well.

But even if there is no fourth corporate war, there will be other contradictions.

Intensifying conflicts of interest, energy shortages, national sentiment, diplomatic pressure.

Not only the United States is facing the dilemma of fire in its own back garden, Europe is facing a serious economic crisis, and even Japan in Asia will once again step into another turmoil after the economic bubble burst.

War is a continuation of politics.

Capital has surpassed everything and become the leader of all things, so corporate wars are naturally the continuation of capital politics.

Without Arasaka and military technology, there are still a large number of giant companies waiting to join the war.

There are still many monsters of the same size, and the war is endless.

Looking at it this way, the fourth corporate war that directly shattered the earth was actually a wave of persuasion in disguise.
