Cyberpunk: Cross-dimensional Science and Engineering

"Technology changes life, making the world a better place." Firmly believing this statement, Li Er died from nuclear radiation and began his journey across different worlds-- "It's not me who is wrong, it's the world. Let's start by taking down Arasaka." "Impressive Cyber Prosthetics, good thing my Cybertron Prosthetics are not bad either."

Chapter 15 Escape, Black Wall Data Blockage_2

After reflecting, Lille once again focused on his target—

But using only the basic hacker technology, fully breaching these people's defenses would still be quite difficult.

Knowledge flooded into his brain. Staring at the vast expanse of Cyberspace and the towering Black Wall, a sudden epiphany struck him—

What if he used the data fragment taken from the Black Wall and uploaded it as a Magic Doll to the enemy? What would happen then?

A part of a person's data falls into the Black Wall after death, which seems to imply that everyone can link with the Black Wall.

With this kind of link, it's possible to initiate a reverse data flow from the Black Wall directly into the enemy's body.

As soon as he thought about it, Lille began hacking several drones and soldiers' prosthetics, then strived to sever the faint link between himself and the Black Wall and attempted to redirect the tainted data fragments.

Only by doing it himself did he realize that, for the same size, the Black Wall's data density was thousands of times higher than that of the normal world!

Merely dealing with this small fragment, Lille spent far more time than it took to break all the soldiers' prosthetic protocols!

This small piece was enough to block the entire squad, clogging more than 50 prosthetics and drivers!

Data clogging is the most basic hacking attack method, but now, the data used for clogging was the Black Wall data, which was immeasurably denser!

Such a massive data flow surging into a drone could only lead to one consequence—the drone's software drivers would be immediately scrapped, the electronic control systems disabled, a surge powerful enough to pierce circuit boards would occur, followed by complete destruction.

For humans, the prosthetics implanted couldn't produce a current strong enough to pierce a human body, but the vast amount of data could completely block the functioning of the prosthetics, reducing their operational efficiency to less than one-tenth of the original!

The person's speed would slow down, the internal homeostasis system would also be compromised, as if they had contracted a terminal illness—

Just like what V was seeing right now! They all seemed to have lost direction, standing still like wooden dolls, and the better off ones were kneeling on the ground, vomiting!

The unlucky ones were ran over by the high-speed Armored vehicle.

"Kill them—I've hacked their prosthetics."

Lille's communication box appeared in V's vision, only it was unclear why it had a red and black hue.

"Every one of them?"

"Everyone. Move quickly, I don't know how long it will last."

Upon receiving the reply, V smirked as she reloaded her weapon.

This was a slaughter, but she wouldn't feel any guilt.

"So Old Wei, what exactly is this thing, that it's so powerful?"

V dialed Old Wei's number.

With the fluctuation of the net domain boundaries, they were now within the Taiping State net domain, no need to bypass any firewall to make a call.

Now that they were in the Taiping State net domain, there was no need to bypass a firewall to make the call.

"...I don't know what to say, you know about Cyberspace, right?"

"Isn't that obvious? Who doesn't know, hackers use Deep Diving Equipment and do whatever they want in Cyberspace."

"Then you should also know that besides equipment, hackers need to be submerged in an ice tank for deep diving because deep diving gear essentially turns the body into a bio-computer to process the complex data of Cyberspace.

And Si Anweisitan is a type of prosthetic that turns the body into a super bio-computer for accelerated processing, but normally, Si Anweisitan would have a safety valve.

With unrestricted acceleration, a person's consciousness would sink into Cyberspace, just like those unlucky hackers who improperly disconnect their Deep Diving Equipment.

His brain had burned out completely due to unrestricted calculations, and of course, there was an urban legend that said a person could live forever in cyberspace... but that had never happened.

"So using Si Anweisitan, you can't perform complex data processing, and no network hacker would use Si Anweisitan as an operating system."

"What does this have to do with Lille?"

"The prosthetics inside his body is that kind of unrestricted super Si Anweisitan—he sank into cyberspace in that instant, and then... he crawled out!"

Old V's voice already had a few notes of disbelief.

"People often say that those who overdo it with prosthetics are Abyss Walkers, teetering on the edge of cyber madness.

And this thing, just this one prosthetic could turn anyone into a cyber madman!

Yes, his body wasn't that lethal, but more likely, he'd think he was an AI and go on a killing spree in cyberspace!

But he came to his senses! Do you understand? He woke up! As if nothing had happened! Even people addicted to watching yellow Super Dream reacted more than he did!"

After listening, V was also somewhat stunned. Was this kid that incredible?

Old V continued, "Really, V, I don't know what's going on, but if I had to say, I'd rather give him a new name.

I'd call him... Abyss Walker, and unlike those edge walkers who could flip out at any moment, he...

It's like he's come home, I guess."

Old V's mind was filled with images of Lille, calmly learning Magic Doll technology during the operation, like a well-behaved elementary school student coming home and opening his textbooks to study.

Is this even human?

Lille slowly opened his eyes, feeling drowsy from the excessive use of brainpower. Having the Si Anweisitan installed made him even more tired than if he'd actually fought a battle, given that the computing was an all-body effort.

His body kept emitting heat, like an overheated and malfunctioning computer.

Clearly, with this operation, his already flickering candle of a life received yet another discount.

"Is it done? Trouble... Could you keep this position and get me into the car—no, don't forget about the goods in the car, they're worth quite a bit of money..."

V walked up to Lille and gave him a thumbs up, "Of course—You're awesome, Lille. We took down an entire squad of military technology!"

In the communication, Old V said, "There are too many shocked people today—V, remember to cool him down, I am hanging up."

Click...

A drop of rain fell on V's face, and he immediately showed an expression of surprise.

"Damn, how lucky, it's raining."

Lille, barely staying awake, checked with him that the seized Bimong Armored Vehicle had no tracking signals, loaded all the spoils, and they shot off into the distance.

It would take the military technology several hours to get the message and organize another chase; by then, they would have already blended into the wilderness.

The rain would erase their traces, making them untraceable.

...

The vehicle sped wildly down the highway through the torrential rain pelting the windshield.

"We should sing a song now! This junk car doesn't have a radio!"

In the car, V yelled out loud, fearing that Lille hadn't heard him, "What was that weird song you hummed earlier? It seemed pretty cheerful, perfect for now!"

"It's called—'Rocked That Jamaican Guy,' and it goes like this:

My wife makes bird's nest soup, I go open a bottle of tequila~

To live like this for 30 years~ with more money than we could spend~

The light deep in the clouds, always bringing me hope..."

Singing along, Lille fell asleep.

Just as he was about to slip into deep sleep, a broken window let in a beam of sunshine that pierced through the thick clouds and landed in front of him.

He seemed to see an ancient wheel.

Carved with incomprehensible ancient symbols, it turned slowly.

[Unstable energy is about to burst, please be prepared.]
