Chapter 271
“Master, the artificial intelligences inside these chips are easier to control than I expected. According to the AI’s feedback, there are seven chips in total, each responsible for handling a certain part of the Red Mist Battle Armor’s functions. Director Li, I have some bad news and some good news. Which one would you like to hear first?”
In the room, Shen Ge was sitting on the edge of the bed, Deng Yuqi was sitting on a chair across from him, and Li Xiang was crouching next to the secondary armor. The three of them were waiting for Little Seven to crack the chips.
Li Xiang adjusted his glasses and said, “If possible, I’d rather not hear either one. If I’m guessing correctly, the good news is that ‘that person,’ in order to control the Red Mist Battle Armor, deliberately split the control system into seven parts, trying to compete with you for control over each specific function. This increases their chances of success. But precisely because it’s split into seven parts, you can easily crack them one by one, right?”
Little Seven replied, “Absolutely correct.”
Deng Yuqi then asked, “So what’s the bad news?”
Little Seven said, “Based on the specific data extracted from these seven chips, although the other party doesn’t know the Red Mist Battle Armor’s data inside out, they have a general understanding of each category’s capabilities. There are only two possibilities for such confidential data to be known by an outsider. One is that Director Li has a mental illness like Dissociative Identity Disorder, with a ‘traitor’ alter ego. The other possibility is that there’s a traitor among the people who have access to this data.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang frowned. As he had said before, anything related to the Red Mist Battle Armor was top secret for the Rong City branch. Apart from him, the creator, the only other person with access to the core files was Deng Yuqi. The other assisting researchers and assistants only had access to basic data, and even if that leaked, it wouldn’t cause much trouble.
So the problem circled back to the starting point. The prime suspect was still the “mysterious person” who controlled Li Xiang when he was unconscious.
While the three were discussing how to handle this, Little Seven had already finished cracking the chips. “Master, I’ve rewritten the chips. Now they can be transplanted onto the Blood Spiders, and I can provide fake coordinates to them at any time. Once the other party receives the data, we can follow the clues and track down their exact coordinates.”
