Marvel's Speedster

For a speedster who has some understanding of society and technology, one night is enough for him to do many things.

In just a few hours from late night to dawn, Ross captured hundreds of large servers including cutting-edge laboratories in the online world. Even if he is not in the combat state, the speed still gives him an extraordinary ability, thousands of precise clicks on the keyboard every minute, a strong attack every five minutes, and a heavily guarded mainframe every ten minutes... When many When IT elites are thinking hard about writing codes or browsing forums for leisure and relaxation, they are arbitrarily modifying data in the virtual world, spying on secret information, and constantly seizing the control power of more servers.

So busy all night, when the darkness passed and the sky gradually brightened, Ross had become a rich man again, even more than the sum of the liquid funds he had in the other world.

Such unscrupulous plundering of wealth will inevitably bring about many serious sequelae in the future, but for Ross, simple misleading methods are enough to cover up the truth for a period of time. This is not his world, maybe the incident will slowly ferment and brew, and finally be exposed by a shrewd financial analyst and cause an uproar that shocks the world, but at that time he has already left, and no one can trace it across the plane A billionaire from another world, so now he just needs to keep his plan running smoothly.

After eight o'clock, Ross already had his own temporary office space. Across the large desk, a young woman was sitting opposite him, anxiously holding a water glass and waiting for news.

This is a twenty-four or five-year-old woman with extremely delicate facial features. Although she did not spend time on makeup, her appearance is still quite delicate, with a strong scholarly atmosphere in her temperament. If you ignore the deep eyebrows | With a touch of sharpness, outsiders may mistake her for a respectable and lovely lady, but when she walked into Ross's office with secret files full of several USB flash drives, she was doomed to live with the word lady. missed.

Ross sat in front of his notebook, flipping through the research and development documents sent by the other party at high speed. Countless dense characters and pictures turned into an unfathomable torrent of data, which flowed down like a vast and boundless giant waterfall. Ross stared at the screen. Gradually a faint golden light was emitted, until the light was almost as strong as the substance, the woman opposite saw it, her complexion became a little pale, and her body was even more restless, but in the end she did nothing, just raised the water glass frequently to shi|moisten Dry throat.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Ross firmly remembered these things 080. He closed the notebook, closed his eyes quietly to recall and sort it out, and opened it again after another quarter of an hour.

"Is all the information here, Miss Harmon?" He looked at the opposite woman gently, and Eliza Harmon, who sent the information, nodded vigorously.

In this city famous for its scientific research, the current best research institution is recognized as the Mercury Laboratory, and Eliza is the key employee of the Mercury Laboratory.

On the surface, Miss Harmon is not suspected of betraying information at all, but it just so happens that Ross knows something about her. This is an ambitious, accomplished female scientist. For a girl her age, hard work and ability alone are not enough to advance her status. She has had enough of being ignored, unrecognized, and Promoted career, underpaid, understaffed, and forced to slow down research progress are all the more hated in her heart. Just when Eliza fell into a low ebb and was struggling to find a direction, Ross appeared at the right time. He passed the Internet The black market waved an olive branch to the female researcher, and after verification, Miss Harmon took the initiative to join her with the information without any hesitation.

Although there are many speculations about the identity of the transaction party, but at the moment, in order to complete the transaction and get paid, Eliza has been desperate. When she heard Ross's question, she immediately stated that she had tried her best to complete the commission.

"There are hundreds of models that are being developed at the same time in the lab, and that's all I have access to. Do they meet your requirements?" Eliza looked at Ross nervously, praying secretly that he would not renege on the contract.

Another time, she'd love to try dating a guy like Ross, but she's just not in the mood right now.

Ross is definitely not that kind of boring person, he is only worried about not spending his money, and he will never play tricks on the amount.

"That's enough, Miss Harmon, I'm very satisfied with the materials you brought." He said with a smile, and Eliza couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I would also like to thank you for the biotechnology you gave me. They opened my eyes." She offered|stretched out her hand and shook hands with Ross.

"One last question." Ross stared into Eliza's eyes and asked unabashedly. "Based on your observation, how tight and vigilant are the security measures at the Mercury Laboratory?"

Eliza hesitated for a moment, she didn't want to get involved in more trouble, but after thinking about her behavior, she gritted her teeth and revealed the inside story.

"Security procedures are pretty tight." She asked for a pencil and sketched something rough on a few sheets of paper, trying to point Ross as best she could. "Ms. Maggie, the supervisor, requires the security department (bebb) to closely integrate manpower and machinery, but the machinery is not flexible enough, leaving some dead ends, and the security personnel work long hours, which will inevitably lead to some slack."

"It's understandable that ordinary people's physiological conditions cannot be maintained at their peak for a long time." Ross smiled knowingly, then put a suitcase on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Eliza.

"Thank you for your cooperation, here is the agreed reward."

Looking at the box, Eliza was a little excited, she immediately opened the suitcase, and then couldn't help but let out an exclamation full of surprise.

Under her gaze, the box was neatly piled up with stacks of colorful papers.

The $100 Franklin occupies half of the space, and there are about two to three hundred thousand in cash.

The other half of the paper is the main body of the reward. They are two-year medium-term treasury notes with a total face value of 5 million, all of which are bearer bonds with a denomination of 1,000 yuan, the same as five-dollar bills

It is printed with the exquisite portrait of the sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln. This is the main bond of the US government. It has no credit risk, is easy to flow, and is easy to transfer. It is the most popular for those who do secret transactions.

Moreover, at the current market price, these government bonds can be sold at a premium of US$1,200 each, which is an unexpected income.

After finally looking away, when Eliza reluctantly closed the box, a large blush had already appeared on her pale cheeks, and fine beads of sweat quietly appeared on her smooth forehead and tip of her prickly nose.

"The amount seems to be a bit more than agreed..." She finally struggled out of the magic of money, and reminded Ross with vigor.

"If extra numbers can make you happy, I hope you will do me one last favor." Ross narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly like an angel.

***

At nine o'clock, after finishing talking with Eliza, Ross left the office and came to a five-story building at the intersection of Fourth Street and Collins Street in Midtown.

It used to be a shopping mall, but due to its relatively remote location, it has been operating poorly. Later, it was hit by a particle accelerator accident. Unfortunately, the owner of the shopping mall was one of the seventeen people who died. Ross bought and hired a local construction firm for the interior.

The modification plan is not difficult, but the time requirement is very tight. Ross has invested a lot of money for this, and only requires the construction company to complete the project as soon as possible.

Feeling the generosity of the employer, the contract acceptors really acted quickly. They dispatched all their employees and set up dozens of scaffolding inside the building. A large number of workers wearing hard hats were climbing and working on it. Stopping in and out, sending a large amount of building materials and supplies, and transporting away abandoned construction waste.

"Mr. Byrne, we are negotiating overtime with the workers, otherwise it will not be easy to complete your design on time." The person in charge of the construction company saw Ross and walked over with a big smile, wanting to bargain with him.

"So I paid three times the salary, and I plan to pay a large bonus in the future." Ross took the hard hat, walked upstairs to the construction site along the stairs, and inspected the construction layer by layer

In the dimly lit building, all kinds of buildings are clearly structured, and the workers are mixed but not chaotic. The whole building has been transformed into a small base with complete functions. It was done twice at a time, all materials were made of metal, and a layer of wood grain paint was painted on the outside as a camouflage. Below the abnormally heavy door are two sets of moving rollers. After it is officially put into use in the future, if it is not forcibly pushed by a very strong person, it can only be opened by the electric traction of the generator set.

"This is the most complicated indoor facility I have ever processed. What are they used for?" The fat person in charge followed all the way behind, and asked casually while accompanying Ross to check the work.

"This is a slaughterhouse, and I want to use them to process some large livestock." Ross answered casually in front.

The fat man was a little bit unconvinced. He felt that Ross’s temperament did not overlap with that of a slaughterhouse, but inquiring about his employer’s secrets would not bring him extra benefits, so he didn’t want to offend the other party by asking too many questions, which would affect his own income instead.

Entering|entering the third floor, Ross walked under the rows of hooks hanging from the fixed rails on the ceiling, stretched out his arms and pulled them vigorously, feeling that they were fixed well enough to bear the weight of an adult's body. Following his movements, a row of swaying iron hooks collided with the metal transmission chain, and there were bursts of clanging sounds inside the sealed building.

"The cages are made of all alloys. The circus uses them to transport dangerous animals. Usually, they can only be opened from the outside. Tearing them inside will only hurt the animals themselves; the incinerator and cleaning pool are still undergoing explosion-proof treatment, and they can withstand strong acid after completion. And high temperature stimulation... But we don't have the qualifications for energy installation. To solve the power problem, you have to hire another professional company

"The person in charge reported in detail one by one, and Ross expressed his basic satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I will solve the energy problem by myself." After inspecting the project, Ross planned to leave to do other things.

Before leaving, the person in charge stopped him again.

"My brother-in-law has a cattle farm outside the city. Do you want to see what he has? The price is negotiable." The chubby drunk man suggested in a low voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, but sometimes I prefer to hunt by myself." Ross gave him a strange look, and refused with a smile.

This look made Fatty feel cold all over, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Walking slowly back to the ground along the stairs, Ross's heart gradually calmed down. In this world, he no longer needs to restrain himself, and dark desires spread like an ocean.

At ten o'clock, the scientists in the state-of-the-art laboratory finally got up and started working. Only then did they realize that something was wrong.

At this time, it was supposed to systematically analyze last night's battle data, but encountered some troubles.

"Sisko, why can't the mainframe be turned on?" Caitlin tried several times and found that the system that is usually used normally cannot be started.

Generally speaking, this kind of large computer will not be shut down, and even if there is a large-scale power outage, it can continue to run by turning on the backup power supply

"Wow!" Sisko heard the news and came over to check it, and couldn't help screaming with his head in his hands.

"What happened?" Harrison moved the wheelchair and walked in quietly from the outside.

"We were hacked last night, and the system didn't call the police. We didn't find out until now..." Sisko pointed at the screen and shouted. He frantically took out the spare hard disk to boot the system, but this attempt still failed. It failed, and there was no familiar splash screen, just a red lightning bolt on a white background.

"It's Zodiac, Zodiac hacked our control center!" Barry recognized the badge, having seen something like it when he and Ross fought last night.

"Sisko, check Barry's tights, the signal Genichi must be near us." Harrison immediately guessed Ross' method.

Unsurprisingly, after careful searching, Sisko and Barry discovered a very inconspicuous signal transceiver device on The Flash battle suit at the same time.

This is a self-made device, except for the basic data transmission function, everything is controlled remotely. Its special feature is that after the front surface circuit is melted by electromagnetic attack

Part of the preset parts will automatically fall off and be embedded in the card slot below, and then the underlying circuit and backup energy can be formed and activated, so that they will not be damaged by the surge caused by the EMP attack, and thus evade the detection of the laboratory.

"That is to say, since we met at the pier last night, he has tampered with Barry?" Sisko and Caitlin couldn't believe it.

"I didn't feel it at all, didn't know when he put it on me. Barry was more shocked than anyone else.

Originally, his extremely fast speed was higher than Barry's, but now it seems that maybe his performance last night was far from reaching his limit.

"Don't be nervous." Harrison stopped the spread of fear in time.

"As a speedster, his inability to possess speed force originally is the biggest flaw, which limits his potential for improvement. Otherwise, why bother to trade with Barry. I believe that The Flash will surpass him in the future. Now let's solve the biggest problem. If we can’t start the system, it means that we lose our eyes and ears at the same time, so we must first restore our senses—Sisko, what can you do?” The middle-aged scientist analyzed calmly and asked the assistant at the same time the opinion of.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to solve the software and hardware problems at the same time this time. If Felicity helps us with the software, we should be able to reconnect to the satellite in the shortest possible time."

Felicity is Barry's friend, a beautiful and intelligent IT woman with superb hacking skills, but she often has verbal friction with Sisko. She is resident in Star City and has an excellent relationship with another superhero Green Arrow. personal relationship.

"I'm going to contact Felicity, maybe I can invite my friends over to deal with Speed ​​together." Thinking of her existence, Barry immediately raised his mobile phone and was about to dial the number of Star City.

"Very well, the first thing is settled. Next, we need to find Speed, and find out his identity and weakness--Caitlin." Harrison continued to give orders. He stayed up all night and had been thinking about it all night. It's time to go to plan.

"After Barry made the phone call, you accompany him to investigate the video of the police station to see if there are any clues at the scene of the accident when the speed descended. I want you to seriously look for every possible witness, especially those who may have had close contact with him. , even if only one is found, it can form huge amounts of help to our work.

Caitlin agreed loudly, and Sisko was then asked to readjust The Flash battle suit.

In this way, Harrison defuses Ross's offensive, and plans to open a large net to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Thinking about it now, Ji Speed ​​only showed up twice, and it made us scramble for two consecutive days... What do you think he is doing now?"

Sisko was thoughtful before Barry and Caitlin left.

No one could answer his question.

Not even Harrison. .
