I heard the words "Northern Lights" come out of Eliot's mouth.
Duwei glanced at Elliot in surprise.
It seems that this guy frequently visits the Northern Lights project to check on its progress.
It's just that this guy's technology is much higher than that of David, codenamed 'Chip'.
At least David got caught and Elliot didn't.
Speaking of which, Du Wei was also a little curious about how Elliot managed to avoid being scanned by the machine.
It stands to reason that the security level of the machines at that time was very high in terms of confidentiality level.
But speaking of it, Genmei can also guess the existence of the machine, so it's not surprising that Elliot, who is at the same level as him, can also know about it.
But seeing Du Wei's slightly curious look, Elliot finally regained some of his confidence as a top hacker.
After all, even though Du Wei had stripped off his underwear, there was still something Du Wei didn't know about.
Like how he learned the details of the Northern Lights Project.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but speak out to prove his strength.
“When I invaded the mysterious ‘X’ project, I discovered that this project also had a fancy name called ‘Northern Lights’.
And there are many planned projects at the same level as it, such as Genesis, Star Wind, Waves, Future Map, etc.
But at that time, only the Northern Lights Project had complete project progress.
Out of curiosity, I went in and took a look.
Of course, I soon realized that I had been discovered. The being called Northern Lights that I invaded had an extremely amazing defense mechanism.
So I unplugged the wire without hesitation the moment the alarm sounded, and then in order to prevent this guy from following the feature code to find it.
I destroyed the hard drive with an electric drill, threw the CPU into the microwave for high-temperature incineration, and crushed the gold fingers on the memory stick with a grinder.
This operation eliminated all possibilities for that guy to find me.
As for the information about it, I took physical photos with a mobile phone that was not connected to the Internet and saved it.
So even if it has great powers, it can only rely on the Internet to find me.
But in the case of physical isolation and no signal, I am undoubtedly safe.
As for the final tracking issue, I jumped through millions of computers before visiting the Northern Lights Project.
The loading delay here is half an hour.
Unless it is a quantum computer, it will never be able to lock my position in such a short period of time!"
Eliot's words revealed a strong sense of confidence.
The fact that he is sitting here well now shows that nothing happened to him that time.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he didn't want to do anything with the machine information he obtained.
Otherwise, when machine-like codes appear, the machine still controlled by Northern Lights at that time will definitely mark Elliot as a 'relevant number' immediately.
In reality, Elliot, who is gifted with computers, is a frail otaku who is similar to Finch.
If he were to be assassinated by CIA agents, he would not be able to escape.
After all, Xiao who just took action was one of the people who carried out the assassination plan.
As for the result, the black bruise on Elliot's left eye socket that has not faded is the best proof.
This was still using fists. If he had used a gun, Elliot's body would have been extremely cold.
Du Wei, who was slightly distracted, continued:
"Well, now that you know about the Northern Lights Project, it should be easier to understand what I have in hand.
This is the Samaritan Project, which is as famous as the Northern Lights. What it contains is the source code of Samaritan.
Of course, I don't want to see a new Samaritan come online again, so I need you to modify its source code.
Get its imitation object from big data and replace it with me
As for my piece of code, just leave it blank and I will enter it myself."
Upon hearing Du Wei's request, Elliot's eyes flashed twice, obviously having different thoughts.
Since this is the source code of Samaritan, he can write an artificial intelligence of his own while working for Duwei.
The shock when he first saw the Northern Lights still lingered in his heart. What if an anti-social organization possessed such an artificial intelligence?
Then there is no need for him to think about what to do in the future, just leave it to artificial intelligence.
But the only question before him was how a security engineer at a network company could afford to buy those top-notch servers.
Without those servers, his artificial intelligence would not get enough growth data.
So what should we do?
Just when Eliot's second personality was thinking, Du Wei spoke again:
"By the way, since you decided to work with me, then come to our base.
I have reserved a room long ago.
As for the company, go and anger your boss now and make him fire you."
Upon hearing Duwei's request, Elliot rarely hesitated.
Of course he understood why Du Wei wanted him to go to the secret base.
Du Wei would not hand over the things in his hands to him without any guarantee.
So, to put it nicely, it means coming to live together at the base, but to put it worse, it is actually a disguised form of monitoring oneself to see if there is any tampering.
Making this request is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of him doing anything.
The little idea I just had was aborted.
In addition, he is just a second personality now, so there is no problem if he wants to be fired by the company.
As long as he uses the information about his boss that he has already stolen to negotiate, he will definitely get a generous severance package and a resignation letter.
The only headache was how he was going to explain to the first personality that they were imprisoned in a secret base in disguise?
But Du Wei didn't seem to give him any more choices.
Du Wei stood up from the ground and took the storage device containing the Samaritan source code and said:
"Okay, then I'll go back to the base first. You might lose this thing, so I'll help you put it back in the room at the base.
By the way, when you are ready, contact me and I will tell you the address of the base.
Of course, if you regret it, you can burn this business card with a lighter."
After finishing speaking, Duwei thrust a black gold business card into Elliot's hand and strode out of the abandoned but still functioning game arcade.
Elliot looked at the black gold business card in his hand and smiled bitterly.
For him, a top hacker, there are not many things in this world that are worthy of his struggle and that can attract his interest.
Changing the world counts as one, and researching artificial intelligence counts as one.
As luck would have it, Du Wei had both.
How could he refuse? How could he refuse?
Having made his decision, Elliot found his boss's mailbox, dragged the unbearable videos into it, and clicked send.
He soon received a "cordial" greeting from his boss.
Apparently this 'nice' boss who's asking you crazy questions is having a night out.
Facing his boss's continuous words, Elliot started typing on the keyboard.
"Warwick, you don't want your wife to see these videos..."
…
After leaving the game hall, Du Wei looked at the reactivated Ferris wheel erected next to the Hudson River and felt inexplicably envious.
After all, doing romantic things on the Ferris wheel is something he has never released.
Looking at Genmei and Xiao who had just gotten off the Ferris wheel, blushing and panting, and disheveled, Du Wei made a proposal that no one wanted to refuse.
"How about we sit down again?"
Xiao and Genmei looked at each other, obviously thinking of the scene of being suppressed last night.
Although it is humiliating, it seems that it is not impossible to do it again.
Genmei suddenly turned around and said:
"Oops, I suddenly remembered that I left my phone on the Ferris wheel!"
Seeing that Genmei had found an excuse to take the first step, Xiao who was beside him said anxiously and wisely:
"Gen is afraid of the dark, so I'll look for it with her."
