Chapter 55 NO.0037: No waste

"The main control room has received the return signal of the 'breadcrumb mark' - the darknet salvage members who were previously trapped in depth 2 due to darknet fluctuations are now trying to find a way to surface back."

Lu Yuan on the other end of the phone quickly answered.

"What is the attitude of the Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center towards this?"

Fanny asked.

After all, she was on the list of people who had promised Icarus to release the prisoners, and the eleven people who had been "seconded" by Ye Qian to the third deep dive warehouse were also on the list.

She needs to ensure that those people can return safely and then return to her hands.

"The good news is, they're here to help - Cerberus is assembling an elite rescue team."

But listening to the tone of Lu Yuan's words, it seemed that this was not good news.

"What about the bad news?"

So Fanny continued to ask.

"The bad news is, they intend to do whatever it takes to help."

Probably in every mature ruling group, there will be a need for such a similar organization or department.

They have authority over all departments and are only responsible to the core superiors. Their existence has only one value - to ensure that the will of the core of power can be implemented.

The "Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center" of the security department code-named Cerberus occupies this ecological niche within the Pluto Deep Diving Company.

Named after the three-headed dogs that guard the gates of Hades in mythology, they are the most loyal and vicious hounds held in the hands of Hades.

And their decision to help at all costs means...

"So in this matter, I'm superfluous again, right?"

After a long while, Lu Yuan asked.

"Everything will wait until I return to Tartarus."

Fanny made no comment. After leaving such a simple sentence, she hung up the phone.

Abyss Dark Web, Depth 2, KZ Quadrant.

Jiang Zhou followed the signal's guidance and finally met an acquaintance at the location of the first "breadcrumb".

Black Falcon-136, Chinatsu Sakura, and the other two members of Ikaros—the four people who had dived with Jiang Zhou before—were killing time near the source of the signal.

Around them, several burning mechanical remains were scattered.

Some of them are humanoid, some imitate animal structures, and some are just simple geometric structures.

Dozens of technological blueprints in the form of data balls were floating near the wreckage, with no one picking them up.

"You kid is indeed still alive!"

He waved to himself from afar, and when he came closer, Black Falcon-136 laughed and patted Jiang Zhou, which made his shoulder hurt.

After saying that, 136 turned around and said to Qianxia Ying very excitedly:

"Let me tell you, if you wait a little longer near this signal source, there will be no loss."

The latter rolled his eyes:

"Okay, okay, okay, I've deceived you again. It's really a high probability that a native who hasn't been adjusted and reformed in depth 2 can find his way back alive."

As she said that, she walked forward and pointed at 136 beside her, with a helpless expression on her face that she could no longer get angry.

"So just thank this idiot for letting us stay here and wait for you for another two hours."

Chinatsu Sakura complained.

In response, 136 smiled and waved:

"After all, the all-terrain vehicle is in the hands of Theseus. The time lost here can be made up for later."

One more person, more power.

Even though he said this, Jiang Zhou could clearly feel that the other party was willing to wait for him near this "breadcrumb" because the most fundamental reason was to take care of him.

No matter how harsh the standard is, 136 can be considered a good person in the true sense.

Especially in such a crazy era, it is even more valuable.

"Thanks."

Jiang Zhou expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Afterwards, both parties briefly exchanged their experiences.

Of course, when Jiang Zhou talked about his own experience, he omitted all the parts related to the "paradox".

As for 136 and the others, just like Jiang Zhou, they lost consciousness during the dive. When they woke up again, they found themselves in this city that had pressed the "pause button" during construction, and

All communication devices on his body lost signal.

However, no one among them saw the scene where an unparalleled unknown existence stretched out its thousands of tentacles and bombarded the Styx firewall.

Then, they each searched for their missing companions in this city that seemed to extend infinitely. It wasn't until the "Breadcrumb Mark" signal came back online not long ago that they rushed in this direction again, and finally got close to the signal.

location meet.

"...But the signal not only attracted us, but also attracted malicious programs wandering nearby, but fortunately their strength is very limited."

136 said, looking around at the mechanical wreckage and the technology blueprint data balls floating around.

In fact, this is also a common mining mode in the photosynthesis belt-staying near the "breadcrumbs" and waiting for those low-level malicious programs to be delivered to your door.

Generally, most powerful malicious programs are territorial and will not easily leave their habitat. Those with high mental index and thinking patterns close to humans will even imitate humans to form similar social clusters. However, those social forms often

It's extremely weird, like the sleep talk of a schizophrenic patient.

From Jiang Zhou's point of view, he didn't quite understand why Janus made these artificial intelligences behave so much like humans.

If Janus created them back then, just to gain control of the world from humans, then there would be no need for him to stick to human forms and he could create a world where efficiency is paramount.

And it has also been proven that AI does not need human "creativity" to serve itself - as evidenced by the black technologies that continue to emerge from the abyss of the dark web.

In this case, what is the reason why they are so similar to humans?

There is no point in thinking about it without key information. Jiang Zhou put away his doubts and turned to ask 136:

"So these technological blueprints are just going to stay here?"

At present, everyone should have enough storage space. Jiang Zhou scanned the technology blueprints and found a lot of good things.

Depth 2 adjustment and transformation permissions, tactical melt weapons, silent realm generators, three-defense standard polymer inflatable tents, battlefield medical equipment "Sewing Claws" that can instantly suture wounds...

In addition, Jiang Zhou even saw a special weight-loss enzyme and the genetic map of a certain genetically modified ornamental fish.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the Talos-type power skeleton he currently needs.

This time it was Chinatsu Sakura who answered:

"Except for some things that can be used on the road, just put the rest here. After all, as I said before, if you can choose to fish, then paddle firmly, if you can occupy the latrine, then resolutely don't poop... Strive to do it from the inside

The scabs that eat up the company.”

However, in order to delay the time when they were optimized as much as possible, they still brought some extremely useless things with them, planning to hand them over as the results of their trip when they returned.

Jiang Zhou listened to their introduction with a dark expression on his face.

Forty ways to peel seal skin (the most sophisticated one even only requires longer nails, but seals became extinct long before the Great Impact); the Battle of Sarajevo during the First Corporate War in 2076 AD

A list of the dead (clicking on each name will reveal a complete cause of death report, with the time of death down to the second); 20,000 randomly generated polyphonic music (most of which cannot be appreciated by human standards), a children's amusement park

Specifications (the amusement rides are purely mechanical structures without any electrical facilities)...

After a brief introduction, 136 looked at the technical drawings on the floor with a regretful expression and said:

"It's a pity that these things can't be taken out and handed over to Icarus. It's such a waste..."

Jiang Zhou unfolded the all-terrain vehicle in the storage space without saying a word, and then said:

"We have to leave quickly, the breadcrumb mark may expire at any time."

Everyone nodded, picked up the things in their hands and got into the car.

Along the way, 136 they were still feeling how much help those things could add if they could be brought out to the organization.

Jiang Zhou, who was in the cab, kept echoing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

The all-terrain vehicle was speeding towards the next "breadcrumb", and at the previous place, a young man dressed in a street style suddenly appeared in the area surrounded by technological blueprints.

"Don't worry, nothing was wasted."

Liao Qi muttered as he picked up those blueprints and put them into his storage space.

There is one more update, a little later
