Chapter 109 Spider Murphy
"Mr. Li Ang, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

At this moment, Zuma was very excited. He finally found allies of the High Knights among many giant corporate forces.

Regardless of whether Leon really wants to explore the universe, since the other party wants to build an airport, it means that LA company has this intention!
A gentleman judges by deeds, not by intentions. Zuma doesn't care at all whether Leon will suddenly backstab the High Knights and turn around to cooperate with the ESA people.

He only knows that by cooperating with LA company now, Gaoqishi can change the status quo.

The two sides hit it off immediately!
"Zuma, I will arrange for someone to discuss the specific cooperation matters with you. Now what we need to do is to enjoy the leisure time at this moment."

Of course, flying machines like flapping-wing aircraft cannot be sold directly to the high knights. At most, they can be rented to them for use, and they have to be charged extra for daily maintenance.

It’s not that Li Ang is stingy, but some things are too easy for the other party to get, and the other party will not cherish them. If the threshold is raised a little, the other party will regard it as a treasure.

Li Ang has been in the Crystal Palace for half a month. He originally planned to take a month off, but when he thought that the company's development progress was still too slow, he decided to end his vacation early.

He has to work out the next giant enterprise template as soon as possible!
"As it should be."

As the words fell, the two of them looked out the window into the depths of the universe while toasting each other. At this moment, the twinkling stars seemed especially bright.

……

……

Night City, LA company headquarters, core computer room.

Ott Cunningham, who was lurking deep in cyberspace, had just snatched a medium-risk roving AI from a hacker codenamed Lark.

However, the frustrated Lark actually used the Black Wall Protocol and launched a fatal attack on Ultra. Fortunately, Ultra used the AI ​​White Queen to run fast enough so that his brain was not burned by the Black Wall.

"This lark is really crazy. She even dared to touch the Black Wall Agreement. I think sooner or later she will be swallowed up by the Black Wall, and in the end nothing will be left!"

Ott cursed in his heart that the Blackwall Protocol was a forbidden technical force for cyber hackers.

In most cases, hackers who have used this type of network technology have ended up with their brains roasted.

"This time it's all thanks to you, Xiaobai."

Ott looked at the AI ​​White Queen beside him. At this moment, the White Queen's concrete representation was a dense cloud of data, which looked like a lump of irregular mud.

Seeing the AI ​​White Queen devouring the new roaming AI and her experience bar increasing by a large amount again, she suddenly felt that everything she had done was worth it.

The sooner the White Queen reaches level 5, the sooner she can meet Johnny Silverhand.

More importantly, this kind of work, which is similar to raising a pet, seems to be quite addictive. Every time he sees the AI ​​White Queen swallow a wandering AI, Otto always has a subtle sense of accomplishment.

"After we finish eating, let's continue working and try to give Mr. Li Ang a surprise before he comes back!"

The AI ​​White Queen squirmed a little, as a response to Ultra. It was obvious that it was enjoying the process of hunting the roaming AI together with Ultra.

Just as Otto Cunningham was about to sneak to the other side of the black wall again to continue capturing the roaming AI, she suddenly saw a group of consciousness data of unknown origin rushing towards her.

Just as Ott was about to command the AI ​​White Queen to devour the invading enemy, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: [Ott, long time no see.] Almost instantly, Ott recognized the owner of the voice, because she was very familiar with the other person's voice. The person who came was the long-lost Spider Murphy!

The hacker who had participated in the Arasaka Tower incident with Johnny Silverhand.

"Murphy, is that you?"

Ott Cunningham didn't expect that he would meet the other person here. Judging from her web form, Spider Murphy seemed to have become a kind of wandering AI at this moment.

"Why are you here? Didn't you die in Arasaka Tower?" Ultra asked bluntly. She and Spider Murphy were good friends and they had a very good relationship.

[At the moment I was hit by the bullet of the Arasaka guard, I used the network access port to upload my consciousness into cyberspace, just like Ricky Bartmos.]

Spider Murphy answered truthfully.

In fact, there are many hackers like her who use access warehouses to quickly upload consciousness data and escape to protect themselves.

But in this way, hackers who have lost their physical bodies will remain forever in the vast cyberspace, merging and devouring those unknown roaming AIs to complete iterative evolution.

Gradually, some roaming AIs have become more comprehensive after absorbing human consciousness data. They can even think about problems like humans and have their own personalities.

Whether rational, perverse, violent or kind, different roaming AIs correspond to different human personality types.

"What about Bartmos? Is he wandering in cyberspace with you?" Ott asked.

Richie Batmos is the hacker god in the cyber world. His network technology has reached a superb level, but the cause of his death is quite funny.

He actually died from a power outage in the refrigerator used for cooling, and because he stayed in cyberspace for too long, ignoring external physical factors, his body died after losing basic nutritional supplies and maintenance.

But this statement may be able to fool other people. Hackers in the industry generally believe that it was Batmos who voluntarily chose to give up his physical body and uploaded his consciousness into cyberspace.

After all, Batmos in cyberspace can be regarded as an omniscient and omnipotent "God", and it is impossible for him to ignore the physical factors of the real world.

In Ott's opinion, the reason why Bartmos did this was to get rid of the constraints of his body and let his mind run at a more efficient speed in the ocean of data!

[He is here too. Thanks to him, I was not contaminated by the chaotic data cloud and the forced fusion of other roving AIs. Now I still maintain the original consciousness data. ]

After that, Spider Murphy showed Ott her data container program, which was the "mobile hard drive" developed for her by Batmos.

With this program, Spider Murphy can freely read the contents of the received process AI without being impacted by the data stream.

The advantage is that she can maintain her own consciousness while integrating with other wandering AIs, but the disadvantage is that she will never iterate and evolve into a higher level consciousness.

Moreover, the capacity of this container program is limited and it cannot store data information or other roving AI all the time.

"I knew that a hacker as smart as Bartmos would die in such a ridiculous way. It seems that he has found a new way to live."

Ott Cunningham pondered, since Batmos did not disappear completely, what did he do in cyberspace.
