Chapter 222 Deep Virtual 49
The rain outside the window intensified. Xie Ning leaned against the windowsill, watching the twins gradually disappear into the rain. After that cutting experiment, Yu evolved another ability. It still had no offensive capabilities, but it could blend into the shadows, achieve rapid movement, and even carry a person.
If she relies solely on her own mental strength, she cannot move very far with this ability. However, if she adds the ability to fall, then her ability is no longer limited by mental strength, and the distance she can move can be extended indefinitely.
Furthermore, Luo can leave behind a mental link node, so Xie Ning and the others can contact each other even without using a communicator.
Xie Ning didn't trust the encrypted communicator the rebels gave her. The more she learned about the world, the more she realized how terrifying artificial intelligence was infiltrating every aspect of life.
Can this encrypted communicator really protect against artificial intelligence? As far as she knows, there are only two artificial intelligences: Moss and Kono.
So far, all she knows is that her identity has not been revealed by the rebels, and that the rebels could not have survived this long without using any electronic devices or being connected to the internet.
Therefore, Xie Ning speculated that there might be another artificial intelligence within the rebels. Otherwise, one of Moss and Kono might be serving the rebels. However, the second conjecture is somewhat contradictory, since Moss and Kono have always been under federal control since their development and are tested every once in a while, making it unlikely that they would be used by the rebels.
Therefore, Xie Ning leans more towards the first conjecture.
However, this still needs to be verified by the Gemini. The rebels also have experimental bases, but they are extremely small in scale. If artificial intelligence is indeed used, then the experimental base is the best place to verify it.
After all, the analysis and verification of many experimental data cannot be separated from the assistance of artificial intelligence in calculation.
Although the twins agreed to help her verify it, it seems that the twins will not betray the rebels, and Xie Ning will not force them to completely switch sides. Therefore, the main thing the three of them are scheming about is the experimental base that Hua Rui and Norton are cooperating on.
It can't be rushed.
Xie Ning felt the cold wind blowing and the fine mist drifting by, hoping to clear her mind.
It would be difficult to improve her status at the experimental base simply by relying on scientific research and technology, since the area is full of talented people and her talent wouldn't even make a ripple.
Moreover, there are unspoken rules in the laboratory. Dr. Ji, whom she was working under, was considered good. If she had encountered a suppressive mentor, he might have stolen the experimental results of the researchers below him, or fabricated data for funding, etc. In either case, it would be difficult to get ahead, and she might even be pushed out to take the blame.
That's why she needed to find another way.
The alien creature on the train was indeed an unexpected surprise, but through this surprise, she was able to get on the good side of the security bureau.
Another unexpected bonus was Ellie, who works for the military and isn't part of the Security Bureau. That's another avenue for us.
Regardless of whether her ultimate goal can be achieved, she has accomplished her most basic objective: expanding her network of contacts.
Although this is far from enough, once the roots of the seed have taken hold in the soil, countless branches will spread out.
Xie Ning reached out and caught the falling raindrops. The rainwater in his palm reflected the colorful, dreamlike world decorated with neon lights that twinkled like stars in the layers of rain. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, another silent and gloomy world faintly emerged.
