Start with a Mechanical Hunter

 “This is our investigation report on the radiation layer.”

 Six ministers had an electronic document in front of them at the same time.

Gao Gong flipped through it briefly. The report was not complicated, and the key point was just one sentence.

 The oxygen content of the radiant layer has increased by 25% compared with three months ago.

“We estimate that this oxygen level will reach its peak in about three months.”

The expressions of several ministers changed. They all knew what this meant.

“Bionic humans can replace their respiratory systems, and modified humans can also implant prosthetic plug-ins, but natural humans will become extinct.”

“Oxygen enrichment will stimulate the secondary evolution of ‘radiation plants’. Soon, all kinds of vegetation will flood the planet, and 90% of human settlements will be lost.”

“The bloodline of ancient creatures in the body of the radiation beast awakens, and the radiation beast, to be precise, the advanced radiation beast will develop towards large-scale and ecological development.”

Agent J paused and said:

“This means that S-level is no longer the upper limit of this planet, and SS-level beast gods will appear on a large scale.”

 The clown minister was also restrained.

“Is it still too late to carry out large-scale elimination of radioactive beasts?”

“It’s too late, the ‘ancient genes’ have already covered the entire ecosystem, even if it kills all the radioactive beasts, vegetation, and microorganisms.”

Agent J stood a little further away, and there was another list in front of the minister. On this list were the possible masterminds behind the 'paleontological crisis'.

 The number one ranking is ‘war’.

 Gao Gong also saw the information on "Brain in a Vat".

Both of them have the ability to create large-scale mutations, and both have mastered meat weapon technology.

“Why, don’t you explain it to Minister Gao?” Minister Clown looked at Engineer Gao, his clown mask crooked.

"I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know," Gao Gong immediately denied Sanlian.

“Would you mind if we investigated Du Hi-tech?”

"For the benefit of the department and for world peace, of course I don't mind!" Gao Gong said righteously, but then he changed his tone and said: "But after all, Du Gao Gao is one of the two electronic brain contractors appointed by the mother city. If we want to investigate, It still needs to be approved by the mother city.”

"Okay, stop arguing." The director of the Prosthetic Body Registration Department stopped the two people from bickering. He crushed the electronic file with his thick arm and frowned: "We all know that this old thing is most likely responsible for this thing. Ghost! It’s a pity that this guy is hiding in the information submersible sea, so he can’t be found at all.”

"Even if you find it, you may not be his opponent. Don't forget, if it can sneak into the high-level information layer, it means that it has broken through the last level and become the fourth planet host. More importantly," Misty looked at it Gao Gong glanced at it and said, "It's still number two."

"In other words, even if we try hard to defeat it, we can't kill it, or even seriously injure it." said the director of the Prosthetic Body Registration Department.

"Yes."

"Not necessarily," Gu Yitong suddenly interrupted, looking at Gao Gong with a stern look: "Just because we can't take action doesn't mean that Minister Gao can't take action."

 The battle between Honkai Impact and Honkai Impact is acquiesced in this cyber testing ground. From the perspective of ‘cosmic relics’, it is a fusion process.

"I can fight the war, if you have a way to get it out," Gao Gong shrugged nonchalantly.

 In his current state, one-on-one, there is really no chance that he will be able to defeat him in a war.

Of course, most people won’t fight with him. They follow the summoning flow.

 Soon, two more members of the ‘United Team’ came to report back.

 One report is a "virtual personality", which is manifested in the fact that many people have recently experienced signs of major changes in their temperament.

 The other report was that there was a large-scale plague, or in other words, an insect epidemic in the world of androids.

Gao Gong listened silently.

Two of the three mother cities have problems, but the six are not idlers. In fact, every member here is the elite of the elite. It only took a few months of investigation to find out the memories in the cyber wave. Wave', 'paleontological wave', 'personality wave', 'android revolution'.

 Already close to half.

 The targeted arrangements were made one by one as the meeting progressed.

Let’s put it this way, if there is no ‘memory matrix’ bug, then these arrangements will probably work wonders.

 But now.

 Aramaki understood this, so he chose to go it alone.

 Gao Gong understood this better, so he chose to eat the melon.

 Soon, this meeting ended.

 Every minister’s face was serious.

 The results of the survey were completely beyond their expectations.

Especially the last member of the investigation team. He only said one sentence and then silently logged off. During the whole process, the senior engineer did not even see his face clearly.

"The 'No. 0' that created the 'avalanche' is hidden in the fortress," the member paused and said, "Also, the fortress is fake. The real fortress is sealed into the planet host."

This news is even more explosive than the previous ones. The former can only be said that there is a problem with the experiment at the Cyber ​​Proving Ground, while the latter means that there is a problem with the planet's host machine.

The planet's host computer has a problem, so how can we continue the experiment? ?

"Whether to report to the master or not?" Gu Yitong looked around and said, "Let's vote."

 Four votes in favour, one vote against and one abstention.

The one who objected was the newly appointed machine prophet, and she did not give any reason.

The one who abstained was the senior engineer. The reason was very simple. The ‘Master’ seemed to be the superior of the ‘Planet Host’. Once it took action, would it forcibly change the plot?

 This is what worries him.

From the current point of view, the fortress is in a state of being an enemy rather than a friend, colluding with the cloud nobles, and letting the golden Honokai man come out to bite people at every turn. According to the plot of the previous life, it is a standard "ball traitor". Killing him seems to be a good thing.

 After struggling for a moment, he chose to abstain.

 The meeting ended and the ministers disappeared one by one.

 In the end, only Gao Gong and Gu Yitong were left.

 Gaogong was stopped by the other party.

 Gu Yitong was silent for a moment and said:

“I probably understand why you didn’t meet me in private, and I also understand why Aramaki faked his death.”

 Gao Gong nodded. In this state, Gu Yitong would most likely be able to 'see' the memory worm.

 I just don’t know whether it is him or the memory worm who is speaking now.

“After I forget myself, the new Minister of Memory Supervision will take office.”

Gao Gong raised his eyebrows:

 “What do you mean, you want to commit suicide?”

"It can be said to be suicide. If I die, then I will still be the one speaking now. If I don't die -"

“The one who spoke was the other one,” Gao Gong added.

Gu Yitong grinned. He didn't know what he wanted to say, but he finally said something.

“You don’t have to trust the new director of the Memory Supervision Department, but you can trust Agent J.”

 …

 One day later, the senior engineer was sitting in his own minister's office, staring at the information of the joint operations team.

 He found that having the power of a minister might allow him to do more.

It is impossible to completely stop the cyber tide, but it seems possible to limit the scale of the cyber tide.

 The Memory Matrix awakened in the late stages of the Cyber ​​Tide. If the scale of the Cyber ​​Tide can be compressed, can it delay its awakening?

“Minister, Captain Motoko is here.”

 “Well, invite her in.”

At this time, Gao Gong was borrowing the authority of the minister to browse the information of each member, Agent J, Super Computer Type 8, Extremis, Ghost, etc., all of them are famous characters in the six movies, and their strength is no less than Yagami Motoko.

 When I turned to the last page, it was blank.

 It was this ‘blank member’ who reported the fortress incident to several ministers.

 The joint team is only responsible to the minister, and also has the power to decide what should be reported to the minister and what should not be reported to the minister.

 The identity of this last member is what they think should not be reported to the minister.

 “Minister,” Yagami Motoko said.

"sit."

Iori Yagami Motoko shook her head, "Are you looking for me?"

"I want you to investigate something." Looking at the other party's calm eyes, the senior engineer paused and said, "It has something to do with the monsters in the stars."

 When Gao Gong said this, Yagami Motoko immediately became interested.

 “Who does the minister want me to investigate?”

 “Member of Skull and Bones.”

 “Those radical emerging companies?” Yagami Motoko has some impressions of them.

“Well, investigate their latest research, maybe you will gain something unexpected.”

 “Minister, are you sure?”

"certainly."

 The reason why Gao Gong is so sure is that in the plot of the previous life, members of the Skull and Bones Society developed many information weapons based on 'memory worms'.

 They didn’t have a panel, let alone drawings, so this kind of research must have continued in private for a period of time.

"I see."

"One more thing," Gao Gong smiled and waved, and he called two beautiful players at the door. The cute little girl is the pp leader, and she is as coquettish as Pan Jinlian. That is Sister Ji.

"These two people will work under you from now on. Just give them some tasks."

 “I don’t understand,” Yagami Motoko frowned.

"You will understand later that the presence of these two people will play an unexpected role at certain junctures." Gao Gong said meaningfully.

Iori Motoko was silent for a while and nodded reluctantly.

After calling the player out, the senior engineer said: "I'm going out for a trip later, and I may not return to the department for a month. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Iori Motoko has already recognized Gao Gong's strength. After so many investigations, she also vaguely understood Aramaki's painstaking efforts. After hesitating for a moment, she confided in the other party for the first time and said:

　　"Mr. Aramaki may feel that for some things, the more people there are, the worse it is. As for you, Minister, you are even more heartless."

“But in my opinion, a problem that can be solved is just a problem. If you can delay it for a while, delay it for a while. Even if everything is in vain and the end is destined to be destruction, it is enough that your personal will can be sublimated in the process.”
