Chapter 11 Cyborgs and Cyber Hackers
After declining Arthur's invitation to the party, Jiang Yanming drove to the Jingtao Martial Arts School in the Bay Area.
"Senior Brother, are you still at the martial arts school?" Jiang Yanming asked over the phone.
"What's up?" Kotak's hoarse voice rang out.
"I have some questions I'd like to ask you, so I'll ask them in person," Jiang Yanming said calmly.
"Then come to the martial arts gym," Kotak said. "I'll be waiting for you in the lounge on the fourth floor."
"I'm still in the old port area; it will take some time to get there," Jiang Yanming reminded him.
"It's alright," Kotak said nonchalantly. "I'm not planning on going there anyway. I'll be staying at the dojo for the time being."
"That's settled then." Jiang Yanming hung up the phone and focused on driving.
In a classroom at Crescent Moon University, he considered three ways to send off his professor in his final moments.
The first method is to ask my father, Jiang Yi, for help. Given that my father seems to be a reclusive master from the Divine Martial Kingdom, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to help the professor.
But he didn't want to involve his father. Since his father was running a small shop on Tsukishima as if he had retired from the martial arts world, he should just continue living that way and not disturb him.
The second method is to ask Arthur and Lucy for help, so that their families can buy his shares cheaply, on the condition that Professor Tarot is dealt with.
The problem with this method is that it is very risky, because he and Arthur are just friends, without any financial interests involved, and both of them are just heirs to their families, so they may not be able to make decisions!
The final, third method is to rely on himself!
Since May 3rd, with each change in the world, he will acquire an additional identity, which will bring him trouble but also make him stronger.
Judging from the supplementary agreement the professor made him sign, the other party needed to take action against him at a specific time, which gave him a month to prepare.
The world may change many times in a month, giving him multiple identities while also giving him enough power to deal with the professor.
But the fear is that as the world changes, the professor's power will also increase!
Therefore, he needed helpers, and his senior brother, who had been wandering the Northern Continent for many years, was a good helper and could also provide him with some intelligence.
"No matter what, asking my father to intervene is the last resort," Jiang Yanming thought to himself.
He would not disturb his father's peaceful life unless absolutely necessary.
……
Jingtao Martial Arts School.
After arriving at the martial arts school by car, Jiang Yanming went straight to the fourth floor.
When he entered the lounge by scanning his face, he immediately saw his senior brother Kotak sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, waiting for him. There was also a pot of tea from the Divine Martial Kingdom brewed on the coffee table.
"Speak, what do you want from me?" Kotak asked in a hoarse voice.
"Senior Brother, you've spent years roaming the chaotic Northern Continent, so you must be quite knowledgeable and well-versed in the hidden power of the Four Kingdoms Alliance, right?" Jiang Yanming went straight to the point.
"I have some understanding, but only what I can access," Kotak replied.
"Then, senior brother, could you tell me what kind of protection a powerful figure from a four-nation alliance would have?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"The powerful and influential?" Kotak glanced at Jiang Yanming, then pondered for a moment before answering, "Generally speaking, when the powerful and influential members of the Four Nations Alliance appear in dangerous places, they are often protected by multiple forces."
"They are mercenaries or bodyguards responsible for general security, cyborgs who face specific and difficult enemies, cyber hackers, and us martial artists."
"Cyborgs? Cyber hackers?" Jiang Yanming was surprised to hear this, as it was the first time he had ever heard these two terms.
"Whether it's cyborgs or cyber hackers, this is information that ordinary people in the Quad are unlikely to know," Kotak explained. "However, their existence can still be detected by looking at some details."
"For example, the mechanical prostheses of disabled people are directly connected to the nerves, just like limbs made of a different material, and they also have the same sense of touch."
"For example, hackers profit by breaking into other people's computers or obtaining useful information without being detected by ordinary people."
Jiang Yanming listened quietly, seemingly lost in thought.
"Cyborgs will have combat modules implanted depending on their tolerance level, enabling them to exert strength no weaker than that of martial artists, and even surpassing that of martial artists in terms of lethality."
Kotak continued, "Different modules implanted in cyborgs result in different abilities. For example, the powerful and wealthy will always travel with cyborgs implanted with protective modules, which can help them withstand enemy attacks."
"When fighting cyborgs, the most important thing is to gather information about them and know what combat modules they have implanted. Otherwise, you can easily suffer losses in the battle."
"See the wound on my neck? That's from the battle with the cyborgs."
Kotak raised his head, revealing a long scar on his neck, and said calmly in a hoarse voice, "That cyborg mainly used ranged attacks, but when I fought him in close combat, he activated his melee weapon module and fought me."
"He took a balanced development approach, incorporating both ranged and melee modules. This meant he didn't have many close-combat modules, giving me a chance to fight to the death."
Jiang Yanming remained silent. Judging from the wound on his senior brother's throat, the battle had been extremely dangerous.
This shows that cyborgs are very difficult to deal with, and you need to know enough information about them, otherwise it will be difficult to truly unleash your full potential in battle.
Kotak added, "Electronic hackers are different from ordinary hackers. They often implant network receiving modules and computing core modules, which allows them to hack into computers and even cyborgs more quickly."
"Can it even hack into cyborgs?" Jiang Yanming wondered.
"Cyborgs need system allocation modules and also need networks to collect and query information about the other party," Kotak said matter-of-factly. "With networks and systems, cyber hackers can naturally hack into cyborgs and paralyze them so they can't fight."
"However, normally speaking, the firewall of a cyborg can withstand electronic hackers for a period of time. How long it can withstand them depends on the skill of the firewall and the hacker."
"Cyber hacking is generally used to deal with cyborgs, but you should never underestimate cyber hackers!"
Kotak emphasized, "I've heard that truly skilled cyber hackers use a special weapon that is not only highly lethal but also travels at a speed not much slower than a handgun bullet."
"As for us martial artists, we are the force that is deployed to the battlefield only after one side uses electronic pulses to render most or even all cyborgs and cyber hackers incapable of fighting."
Kotak said, "We martial artists don't have electronic devices in our bodies, so we are not affected by electronic pulses. The reason we were put into the battlefield last is because low-level martial artists cannot cope with attacks from large-caliber firearms."
"Understood." Jiang Yanming nodded upon hearing this, having a mental expectation of the protective force around the professor.
"By the way, Senior Brother, what do you do in the Northern Continent?" Jiang Yanming asked, as this concerned his upcoming arrangements.
