Chapter 953: Chapter 759: The Second Cybernetic War_2

Facing this thorny situation, Maverick had to apply for access to Eden Garden, there could be no further delay.

According to Laughing Star’s research, it seems that some important figure is currently unable to act, and if we wait for the other party to start working, the situation is likely to change.

Just at this moment, Maverick’s Digital Mind calculated a new anomaly.

The current wave of attacks does not match the power projected in the computational models.

The information war is made up of network operators and AIs; AI themselves lack subjective initiative and the desire for malicious harm systems, so they are only deployed by hackers as tools for automated attacks on system vulnerabilities.

If the attack’s power is less than expected, it can only mean that the efficiency of our hackers has not reached the level anticipated.

This is especially true for those neutral hackers who join the fray – they seem impressive at first but quickly ebb away.

"What, they’re actually attacking Nestor Corporation?"

"I’m so annoyed, I just saw the news, aren’t they doing really cool things? I don’t want to attack them."

"I was thinking of immigrating to the Northern Archipelago next month..."

"Oh my God, this encrypted database is full of Nestor Corporation’s future sponsorship plans. Why would they do this? The fate of so many poor and disabled people will change. I don’t want to touch this form..."

"Nestor Corporation’s Helis Sea is too hard to attack. Most hackers are just cannon fodder in this kind of saturated assault... I’ll just slack off."

"I’m slacking too..."

Most operators are controlled to varying degrees by drugs and chips before an attack and therefore are extremely proactive; but for those with free will, morale is quite low, disinclined to launch any significant infiltration attack on Nestor Corporation.

Even those lacking a sense of morality are astonished and even guilt-stricken at the idea of invading Nestor Corporation.

For many, if it were any other high-tech corporation, they would have no reservations about launching an attack, freely paralyzing the target’s power facilities, commanding drones to attack each other, sabotaging their production potential and business reputation.

But now, up against Nestor Corporation, they feel like a group of slaves, being pushed and ordered around by those behind them, forced to go attack another territory only to turn its people into slaves like themselves!

How could they not be disheartened?

Maverick, sensing the drop in hackers’ morale, immediately blacklisted these people, preparing to sanction them and their companies afterward.

He obtained the key to Eden Garden and started connecting.

"Are there other operators in the Eden system? What are they doing?" Maverick realized he and Laughing Star were not alone.

There were several other top-ranking, silent online personnel around him; he suspected some were his former superiors or talented colleagues who had left their lives to work within the Eden quantum computer.

"Be careful with the counterattack, ’Titan’ uncle, I have already run back." Laughing Star’s consciousness spanned thousands of miles, returning to the main system of Eden Garden.

"..." Maverick silently mobilized the computing power of Eden Garden.

All the leading tech companies are currently chasing each other in the race of quantum computing research, which is key to breaking through the future.

Classical computers represent data with binary digits, but quantum computers are different; their qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, capable of performing large-scale complex computations.

Each top-tier giant corporation has its basic products with different uses. Nestor Corporation has more common structured quantum computers like "Hundred-eyes Demon Queen Nest" and "Earthquake Predictor," and it is said there is a third machine under development.

Nestor Corporation’s active network defense force is Rinne, and the automatic defense is conducted by the Hundred-eyes Demon.

This almost perfect, ambitious AI is also operating at full capacity, bringing out its quantum computing capabilities to serve Nestor Corporation.

It implements defense protocols in a timely manner, eliminating security vulnerabilities, repairing the wounds of Helis Sea inch by inch, and repelling hacker attacks with the speed of a supercomputer to prevent vital information from being stolen.

As for "Eden," it is the most powerful quantum computer of this era, the jewel of the Seven Seals.

"Most of the pillar sites are teetering, we’ll start from the weaker sub-domains of the co-linked net." Maverick instantly found a more promising approach.

"Get ready for defense," said Laughing Star.

"Defense..." Maverick was initially confused, but the next second he realized what was happening.

...

In the operating room.

Cui Junyou put away the bloodstained scalpel, unconsciously stepping back a few steps.

His eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation.

Not only for his own technique but also satisfied with Xu Yang’s current state.

Xu Yang sat up silently.

"Thanks," he said briefly.

Immediately after, Xu Yang, with the highest control authority in the information world, took instant command of the entire network to protect Nestor Corporation.

... Tsk, so many attacks.

To win against so many enemies, there’s only one way to do this.

He borrowed the nest of the Hundred-eyes Demon. After a quick calculation, the Hundred-eyes Demon could not refuse an opportunity to collaborate with such an advanced data consciousness, thus it relinquished part of its nest for him to use. In fact, this was the first time the Hundred-eyes Demon thought it had encountered a kindred.

Machine number one, light up.

He temporarily recalled the control key of the "Golden Heavenly Guardian" from the World Earthquake Association, promising to return it soon. The staff trusted the reputation of Nestor Corporation without hesitation, promptly returning it to its original owner.
