Chapter 3149: Personal Capture

Inside the Laboratory.

Xia Duo casually swept the scrapped materials into the recycling port and rubbed his slightly aching brow; he had been staying in the Laboratory for the past two days, and although his body was not particularly exhausted, the repeated failures of the experiments made his mind feel extremely fatigued.

"How could even the direction of the Mythallar Node not work? This shouldn't be!"

He could vaguely guess where the problem lay, but it was difficult to verify it for the time being, so he decided to relax first, thinking there might be better results later.

After tidying up the traces of his work in the Laboratory, Xia Duo left, but before he could reach the Xiu Xi Shi, he received a message transmitted by Helisita through the emergency channel—

Signs of an intrusion have appeared in the Computing Power Pool!

Hearing this news, Xia Duo immediately perked up; ever since the Alliance, under the guidance of Kalishi, had captured three or four Psionic Mage survivors (who died after interrogation), there had been no news of those intruders.

And now that the Computing Power Pool had been found to be intruded upon again, it meant that those intruders had not chosen to give up because of one failed operation; they actually dared to come again!

Xia Duo immediately rushed to the Gateway Control Hall of the Research Center, but he did not make a big scene; instead, he called Helisita out alone and asked:

"Who else besides you has discovered this?"

It was not the part of the Computing Power Pool confrontation.

"Yes."

Although that might bring greater losses, in order to catch useful survivors, even if the losses were slightly greater, it would be worth it; if he could lock onto Kalishi from the captured survivors, even if the losses were even greater, it would still be worth it.

Therefore, it was necessary to keep the news that I had discovered the intruders again from being made public immediately; it would not be too late to make it public after catching the people.

Midi Nuo Ta returned to his post, and Xia Shao did not go back in either, but instead stopped at the permission boundary inside and outside the Gateway Control Hall and put on his own Computing Pool Connector.

"There is also Alanmidinuo, who is responsible for monitoring the status of the Keman Suo Sub-network; I have a good relationship with him, and after he reported this matter to me, he did not disclose it to anyone else."

Moreover, all my current actions will be exposed in the gateway corresponding to the Helisi Sub-network/local area network that I am connected to, and the Gateway Control Hall at the Headquarters might even be able to monitor it.

These are the several types of Meta-Thinking I shared through the Computing Pool Connector; the entire Computing Power Pool network calculates countless problems through the collaborative computing of the Meta-Thinking of each connected user.

I plan to wait until I locate the opponent's true form before closing the net; before that, no matter what actions the opponent takes, I will not react.

But the previous ones were all unable to survive; could this be because the interrogation methods of the Alliance personnel were too crude?

If measured by the number of connected users, that means at least seven or eight hundred people (Elves) were affected!

Listening to Midi Nuo Ta's report, Xia Shao was lost in thought, and he instructed the other party: "Do not disclose this matter to a second person for the time being; you should also instruct A Lan Keman Suo about this."

Xia Shao is actually more like an intruder now, rather than a normal user. My behavior can indeed be counted as an "intrusion," but I am not harboring ill intentions; rather, I want to catch the intruders who truly harbor ill intentions.

As for the other two people in the know—Midi Nuo Ta and A Lan Keman Suo—I still trust the former more; otherwise, I would not have let the other party serve as the person in charge of the Computing Power Pool Operations and Maintenance Group.

Returning to the office, Xia Shao found a connector that a Computing Power Pool supplier had kept on file and could connect to the Helisi Sub-network; this was the ear-clip style most commonly used by Elves. He put the ear clip on his ear and then activated the connector.

Compared to the losses that the people of the Northland might suffer after Kalishi's conspiracy succeeded, what was this little bit of loss that the Computing Power Pool was suffering now!

After confirming the connection and obtaining the Permission Level, I first confirmed the situation reported by Midi Nuo Ta—by checking the status of each gateway of the Helisi Sub-network.

As for A Lan Keman Suo, Xia Shao did not strictly guard against him; in fact, he was even looking forward to this guy being an accomplice of the intruders!

The reason for doing so was not that Xia Shao wanted to help those intruders, but that he wanted to catch a few survivors himself. Although the few Psionic Mages caught under Kalishi's guidance were indeed alive at first and even underwent interrogation.

This way, there is no need to think of such methods to catch intruders outside; after all, this time the intruders chose the Helisi Sub-network again, and Xia Shao had "committed an offense" there not long ago, so he was still somewhat resistant to appearing there again.

……

After handling the permission adjustment matters at the Gateway Control Center, Xia Shao prepared to investigate the newly appeared intruders. The process could refer to the last time, but this time he only needed to go through the first half—

"Yes, for the time being, traces of suspected intrusion have only been found in Helisi, similar to the characteristics of the last Psionic Mage intrusion; they are all Meta-Thinking Level Information Streams that are not in the plan."

Following the Perception link, in his Perception, he seemed to have arrived at a mysterious space filled with flowing light and color, where countless consciousness information streams were transmitted and interacted within this space, and he himself also provided a stable information stream.

Displaying the status of the National Sub-networks that we can see as abnormal, so that if there are any more intruders intruding from other National Sub-networks, the operations and maintenance personnel will not know.

……

It was indeed as Midi Nuo Ta said; the traffic of one gateway appeared once, and a large amount of Meta-Thinking Level consciousness information spread outward from the local area network corresponding to that gateway, affecting at least four or five local area networks corresponding to gateways.

Since there was no Computing Power Pool Permission Level bonus this time, the Perception that could originally rely on the Computing Power Pool collaborative mechanism to proceed passively now all required him to complete it actively.

It is just that this series of Meta-Thinking Level Information Streams produced by me will be mixed into the information streams produced by the real intruders; the gateway level can monitor the existence of these information streams I provided, but it cannot distinguish them from other normal information streams, let alone parse the specific meaning of these information streams of mine.

However, the first thing Xia Shao did after confirming this situation was to adjust the Permission Level of the Operations and Maintenance Group members responsible for monitoring the status of other National Sub-networks—

"Only Keman Suo? Are there none in the sub-networks of other countries?" Xia Shao asked again.

It would be the same to directly catch the intruder's accomplices hiding in the Alliance Headquarters and interrogate them; it would even be less trouble!

Xia Shao would rather believe that those few Psionic Mages were sent by Kalishi to provide false information! So I want to catch a few survivors myself and interrogate them in my own way!

"Then you go back first; don't let others see anything abnormal!"

Within the scope of the Gateway Control Hall, my connector possesses a higher Permission Level, and only within the scope of the Gateway Control Hall can I control the Computing Power Pool.

As for how to collaborate, that is the core secret of the Computing Power Pool.
