Legend of the Cyber Heroes
Chapter 304 - 304 84 Something New

304: Chapter 84: Something New 304: Chapter 84: Something New Forty years ago, the United Annihilation Mode was born, a major venture by King Aqini in the Path of Inner Strength.

Its essence lies in the profound understanding of data by Internal Strength Masters, who then categorize operations.

Typically, an Internal Strength Master would divide the operations needed during hacking into “those that can be handled by a computer” and “those better handled by the human brain.”

This technique, however, takes it a step further by adding “those that must be performed immediately” and “those that can withstand slight delays” into entirely new categories.

Thus, the operations within Inner Strength became divided into four categories, “needs to be performed immediately and better handled by the human brain,” “needs to be performed immediately and sufficiently handled by a computer,” “can withstand delays and better handled by the human brain,” and “can withstand delays and sufficiently handled by a computer.”

The first type is managed by one’s own brain, the second type is completed by the computing center of the prosthetic body, the third type is remotely forwarded to other Internal Strength Masters, and the fourth type relies on online computing resources.

In contrast, there is a whole set of military martial algorithms that connect different individual minds.

This technology can link the combat strength of Internal Strength Masters, stacking their Inner Strength to form much more formidable effects.

Using the power of his fellow students, GA-R03 leveraged Inner Strength to levels far beyond his capabilities.

Using his own privileges, he took over some of the prosthetic bodies of his subordinates and then employed the technique of witnessing.

The Hero was indeed ensnared.

“Twenty-two ‘curses’, and only six returned feedback…” GA-R03 felt slightly surprised by the feedback, “This guy’s degree of Inner Strength autonomy is so high.

How long has he been creating ‘wheels’?”

“Wheel making” was a mocking term for programmers in ancient times.

This behavior usually refers to “re-creating a basic method that is already available or optimized by others.” For example, in software development, if there’s a module or library that’s well-acclaimed, integrating it into one’s own program is a logical step—as natural as installing round wheels on a car.

A programmer insisting on reinventing a mature tool is referred to as “wheel making.”

Similar to unhealthy scientific competition, “wheel making” generally means wasting humanity’s collective resources.

However, sometimes, programmers face the dilemma of “having to make wheels.” Perhaps one needs to bump the KPI this month, or the boss demands some sort of “complete proprietary intellectual property” that might be meaningless, and some newcomers might opt to retrace the path of giants for “self-improvement.”

Of course, there are also greenhorns who think the wheels they create are better than the existing ones.

(From a hundred of such people, ninety-nine are novices, and one is a freak.)

Yet, as societal history has evolved, this meaning has also gradually distorted.

When free online resources are no longer trustworthy, “wheel making” becomes a protective measure.

After all, the fewer resources you use, the fewer “curses” can affect you.

Modern Internal Strength Masters greatly value “curses”.

A “curse” that fewer people know about can be more effective.

Those widely known are generally only good for bullying ordinary people or practitioners at martial arts schools who don’t understand Inner Strength.

Entry-level Internal Strength Practitioners mingling in Green Forest usually have this level of capability.

The “Gu” and “curses” they use are common knowledge, something that standard patches and virus library can handle.

For someone like GA-R03 to thrust twenty-two curses at once seems extravagant, akin to crushing someone to death with gold.

Xiang Shan felt as if there were problems in controlling his prosthetic body.

In the backend directly connected to his consciousness, unfamiliar codes cascaded and began rolling up, giving one a sensation akin to smoldering fire leaping through the back of the brain.

The “Three Dragon-Slaying Moves”, the “Uncleaned House” had auto-initiated.

The system Xiang Shan was using now was based on forcibly memorizing and unconsciously outputting.

Even though many drivers and patches were added later, those were scripted by him.

Xiang Shan was extremely familiar with every line of the system’s code.

With Inner Strength in full operation, Xiang Shan rewrote the code, covering those malicious commands.

Simultaneously, patches for potential exploits were forming in his subconscious.

But this level of Inner Strength thinking slowed down his pace.

Consequently, his body shuddered as he was struck by bullets.

For cybernetically enhanced people, one or two bullets were nothing as long as the External Armor held up.

But a “barrage of gunfire” could still shred a prosthetic body.

Xiang Shan rolled on the ground with the Ranger who had used the witnessing technique on him.

The moment they separated, he had already broken the Ranger’s neck.

—Tsk tsk, the antiquity finally fell to the cutting-edge technology…

Xiang Shan even had the mood for self-mockery at this moment.

Either that “pepper pot” didn’t give his all in their first confrontation, or he had some secret technique that leveraged remote forces to boost his Inner Strength.

Xiang Shan was not surprised by the outcome.

An unplanned encounter, a hasty surprise attack.

It was good to have killed a subordinate of King Aqini, but it didn’t matter either way.

At least he had gauged a bit of the opponent’s capability.

—Let’s retreat for now.

That Green Forest haven’t perished yet and will continue his mission.

There are still opportunities…

An advancing Ranger charged at him from the front.

Xiang Shan wielded his Sonicon Blade, whose light formed a defensive circle, forcing back the attacker.

However, as the Ranger retreated, another burst of infrared light targeted Xiang Shan’s Prosthetic Eye.

GA-R03 had no intention of giving Xiang Shan any “opportunity”.

Again, the fatal nineteen “curses”.

Xiang Shan’s upward and outward stepping inevitably slowed down slightly.

More rangers took the chance to surround him completely.

However, GA-R03 fell into an unexpected situation.

In his second cast of nineteen curses, three were the same as those activated in the first wave, and another three could be paired with another three curses from the first wave.

But within these six curses, only one received feedback; the rest vanished without a trace, like clay oxen entering the sea.

—How is this possible?

GA-R03 was greatly surprised.

The opponent was not just a Wheel Maker enthusiast but also extremely familiar with his code, able to instantly detect and override abnormal parts running in the background using inner strength.

That is rarely achievable in the Mechanical Realm.

Is it because the high-rankers of the Mechanical Realm are only lacking in skills, so they cannot keep up with me?

GA-R03 speculated.

At the same time, he decided that he must capture this hero.

The disciple of King Aqini emitted a strong wireless signal.

This signal connected him with all the other rangers.

[Connecting…

Connection complete…]

[Loading SDR Mandarin Duck Annihilating Formation algorithm…]

[Constructing Virtual Brain Circuit…]

In an instant, a strong will permeated the entire formation of martial artists.

“Virtual Brain Circuit” is also a very new achievement.

Specifically, it involves hardware integrated with the brain cortex, allowing neural impulses at point A of the new cortex to bypass the brain’s neural transmissions and directly reach a certain point B.

If enough devices are implanted on the Brain-Machine Barrier, it’s possible to construct an “as if truly existing” additional brain circuit on the exterior of the brain through tens of thousands of sensors.

Incidentally, thanks to information technology, points A and B do not necessarily need to be on the same person’s brain.

This technology can quickly transmit a person’s neural impulses, subjective sensations, and even vague ideas to another person.

GA-R03’s will was central, commanding everything.

Under the connection of the Virtual Brain Circuit, the rangers could intuitively sense each other’s intentions and plans, and GA-R03 could also direct them more directly.

Like King Aqini, GA-R03 was also a master of the Military Martial Path.

If the “Virtual Brain Circuit” were to be manifested, it would not be hard to see that GA-R03 and these rangers’ nervous systems formed a system similar to a cephalopod’s ganglia – just a luxury version.

GA-R03’s relationship with those rangers was like that of an octopus with its tentacles.

GA-R03 could command everything, and those tentacles, although also parts of this nervous system, possessed strong autonomy.

It is said that this technology emerged only about ten years ago.

King Aqini, upon reading a paper from a biological Sanctuary, immediately recognized the high military value of their provided mathematical model.

With the miraculous “Uncleaned House”, the Martial Ancestor once again escaped the negative effects of the “curse”.

Two martial artists lunged forward with their spears.

Xiang Shan sidestepped obliquely, slipping through the two large spears like a fish.

But as he brushed past the two martial artists, a third one took advantage of his comrades’ bodies to hide his own figure and sneaked into Xiang Shan’s line of sight.

Another round of witnessing.

Xiang Shan realized that the “aura” around him had changed.

These rangers were already well-coordinated, so from an outsider’s perspective, it was hard to tell the difference between now and earlier.

But like a fish in water, Xiang Shan could distinctly feel the pressure he was facing suddenly increase.

—Military Martial Battle Formation…

Xiang Shan found himself facing yet another new thing.

Those rangers were not only controlled by that “pepper pot”.

They clearly had strong autonomy as well.

Those individuals maintained quite sophisticated levels of external strength.

It was not merely from algorithmic machinery operations, but also from human creative intelligence, highlighting their strong ability to adapt on the fly.

Even if King Aqini himself were present, he couldn’t possibly command so many prosthetically enhanced individuals in such exquisite maneuvers.

This was something that hadn’t emerged even two hundred years ago.
