Yeah, it was pretty terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, I want to buy a batch of equipment, mainly biological semiconductors and bioconductors for powering prosthetics, I’ll send you a list of the models.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... once we settle the payment over here, we’ll transfer it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, thanks, Old V.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly repainted black and red-striped Mackinaw arrived at the edge of City Hall, just as Lille had expected. The lockdown order came in drips and drabs, like a constipated patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still half an hour before the meeting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remote backdoor Lille had set up at the City Hall node had already been cleared out; obviously, the hacker on the other side wasn’t a slouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they tried to trace it back, they encountered enormous trouble. They couldn’t track Lille down in the cyber network at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, V was holding a raccoon dog and asked, \"Did you call Old V? What did you buy this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille explained, \"We got attacked by a Biotechnology agent last time, exposing our problem—we’re strong in frontal assaults but lack specialized equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that agent any good? Honestly, even though he had the backing of a Super Corporation, the gear he had might not be worth as much as ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we fought head-on, his combat strength wouldn’t be that formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a quality piece of Optical Camouflage can execute a meticulous plan, pivoting the situation with individual force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the core business capability of spies and agents, those who work with information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Makes sense—so we’re getting one too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t—Optical Camouflage and Subdermal Armor have a high conflict. Since you guys chose the more useful Subdermal Armor for the frontlines, we can’t install this thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack and V’s Subdermal Armor covered a wide area, adding this kind of prosthetic to their skin would increase the probability of malfunction and loss of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why it’s beneficial to have a prosthetics doctor in the team; Lille wouldn’t let them blindly install prosthetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille added, \"I want to create a new piece of equipment, but it’s still just an idea for now; I’m still perfecting the design.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Lille opened his system panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cross-Dimensional World Status]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In another world, Skye has already helped Aiden Pearce reach the core of the mystery and has attracted the pursuit of the Chicago Gang]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skye and Aiden used ctOS to create a major blackout in downtown Chicago, completely erasing their traces and performing a countertrace against the Chicago Gang’s leader]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Victory is within reach]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skye has uploaded the relevant data of the major blackout to the server, you can check it accordingly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ctOS development progress: 70%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Cross-Dimensional Data Channel openness: 70%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The major blackout, the ultimate weapon against the cyber network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large-scale, widespread blackout causes irreversible damage to servers, but the execution difficulty is really high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, 99.9% of important facilities and equipment in the world have backup power plans, so causing a major blackout can’t be achieved just by operating in the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the ctOS development progress was quite satisfactory; those 500 Technology Points were well spent—this way, Lille could experiment with his next idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was a gap between 2011’s computer efficiency and that of 2076, this gap could be filled with quantity—after all, it was a computational gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smallest military-grade ICE server could shrink to fit in a car’s trunk. While 2011’s computer level might not be high, Lille could use an entire warehouse of computers linked for computational operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 70% data channel openness, the bandwidth obtained could almost be used for real-time fast cracking, placing the fast-cracking computational part in the server of another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed might be slower, but it’s safer—after all, if the computers burned, they burned. Even military-grade ICE tracking programs couldn’t trace the time or location information of the burned servers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You found Skye.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Has the XMSC chip arrived?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skye: It has, the assembled computer is right next to me, the system is set up as you said, but what is this pure computational computer for?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: I have my own ingenious use for it, stay in the server room with a fire extinguisher, if it catches fire, just spray.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skye: Are you serious, boss? You’re going to light a fire in your own place?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Stop whining and just spray if I tell you to, consider it your performance bonus.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skye: Got it, boss.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with that, Lille needed to contact Dr. Conners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You chose to communicate with Dr. Conners via phone]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Doctor, I remember you said that the Osborne Group obtained a batch of genetically modified spiders with extremely superior traits, can you produce a batch of similar spiders?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dr. Conners: In theory, yes, the attenuation rate algorithm has been validated on spiders, so achieving it wouldn’t be difficult—for me, it’s not difficult.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dr. Conners: But Osborne Group holds a patent in this area, so...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: I urgently need to validate the attenuation algorithm, can you cultivate a spider like that right now?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dr. Conners: You want to validate the attenuation algorithm again from multiple mature individuals? I’ve already tried; the result is what it is now...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: No, I have other uses, you can ask Matt to transfer the money from the company, there’s still some in the deposit, please hurry.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dr. Conners: Alright... but just one, if we produce it on a large scale it would involve a patent issue, I really don’t want the Osborne Group to catch us.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Thanks, Doctor, please be quick.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the matters over there, Lille made another call to David and Lucy over here.\u003C\u002Fp>",962,"2026-06-03T12:33:12.909Z","2026-06-03T12:33:19.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","4df5f7d988c5ff5324c14715143eabfb8229e78c2921934e6469269064ca3c02","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-107","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-105",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
