Chapter 154 Betrayal!
Faced with Hansen's questions, Aguilar calmly told him the origin of this device.
"We got this thing from an international electrical appliance company. The European AI neural matrix prototype was jointly developed by several European companies."
"There are only three of them in the world. This one is a slightly inferior product, but it still has the most basic functions, it's just not that stable."
"But for military technology that urgently needs to achieve breakthrough results in the Little Beidou project, it is an extremely rare treasure."
When he learned that this prototype was obtained from a European giant, Hansen became even more confused.
Those European companies are the most powerful forces on the planet. How could their stuff be within the reach of the Cuban group?
After Hansen thought carefully for a moment, he immediately understood that the matter was by no means as simple as Aguilar said!
"Mr. Aguilar, you can't get this thing, right? I guess it was given to you by those companies, right?"
Hansen had already roughly figured out what was going on.
The force behind the North American rebels is the Cuban Group, and the boss behind the Cuban Group is a European consortium.
Most of these white men from the European Community do not want Miles to complete the unification of North America. After all, it is not in their interests.
So the executives of these European companies decided to let Black Gloves create some trouble for Miles, and this AI neural matrix device was the bait used to catch Miles!
Seeing that Hansen had realized that he was a pawn on this chessboard, Aguilar nodded and smiled at him: "Mr. Hansen, you are a smart man."
"We are all doing things for the bosses above. Even if I am a black glove for others, it is not just once or twice. If I do my best to do things well, they will not treat me badly."
Aguilar is very clear about his positioning, and he also hopes that Hansen can understand this too.
Just do your own thing honestly and don't have other petty thoughts!
Hansen certainly listened to Aguilar's advice. After all, his only support now was the Cuban Group.
Without the help of these criminal group bosses, he would not be able to survive in Night City.
"Yes, but I still don't quite understand how you plan to use the neural matrix device to deceive Miles. Do you want me to bring this thing in front of her and beg her to let me go?"
"Then let Miles get me an official position as a confidant. Then I will tip you off and take the opportunity to stab her in the back?"
Kurt Hansen didn't think that by doing this, he could get a way out of Miles, let alone stay with Miles and get an official position.
He knew very well that Miles was a bitch who could turn her back on anyone at any time. Burning bridges was her specialty. He was afraid that as soon as he handed this thing to her, he would die the next second!
Aguilar smiled and shook his head. If he really did this, then this prototype would be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return.
Such a loss-making business is not what European bosses want to see!
"To be precise, this thing is for a bird. She needs the AI neural matrix more than Miles. We can use her to influence Miles' decision-making."
"And let her stab Miles in the back at a critical moment!"
When he said this, a ferocious smile appeared on Aguilar's face. This scene made Bennett and Gago feel a little numb.
They always felt as if Aguilar was going to eat the bird alive.
After thinking for a moment, Hansen suddenly realized who the bird Aguilar was referring to. He asked with an unbelievable look on his face:
"Are you talking about the hacker codenamed Lark who is following Miles, Song Zhaomei?!"
Although the CIA's agent codename is top secret information to the outside world, it is only for ordinary people.
Warlords like Kurt Hansen, who often do dirty work for European consortiums, can still have access to some unknown information.
Even though he has never met a person like Song Zhaomei, Hansen still knows her name and code name.
Seeing that Aguilar did not deny his suspicion, Hansen was even more shocked because he simply couldn't believe that the power of the European consortium could actually let Song Zhaomei be their mole!
You know, Song Zhaomei is one of the few important confidants around Miles. Basically, Miles will take her with him wherever he goes.
As if she was afraid that the bird would leave her.
"Why does Song Zhaomei need the AI neural matrix device more than Miles? What is the use of this thing for her to sell for money?"
Hansen shook his head as soon as he said this, denying his crude idea. He didn't think Song Zhaomei would betray Miles for money.
A hacker of her level can easily achieve financial freedom with just a few clicks of her fingers. To Song Zhaomei, money is just a cold and meaningless number.
There was absolutely no need for her to be a traitor just for money.
Faced with Hansen's confusion, Aguilar used his hoarse and deep voice to squeeze out a laugh that sounded like gears grinding together.
It seems to be mocking Hansen's stupidity, and also mocking Song Zhaomei's tragic fate that has been doomed for a long time.
"She wants this prototype to survive."
Aguilar responded concisely.
"Survive? Can this thing save her life?"
Hansen was just an ambitious local warlord who was good at business and power struggles, but he knew almost nothing about AI neural matrix.
Faced with Hansen's doubts, Aguilar took the trouble to explain everything to him.
"We have noticed this bird in cyberspace for a long time. In order to realize Miles' Little Big Dipper plan, she almost transformed herself into a mobile network server."
"With high-speed cables all over her body and top-notch network access warehouse devices, the lark is indeed a master at capturing roving AIs. Even many AI hunters are not as efficient as her."
"But she has been seriously infected by the black wall. If she is not treated in time, the lark's consciousness will slowly be swallowed by the black wall, leaving only a lifeless shell."
"And this prototype can save her life!"
After the voice fell, everyone turned their eyes to the prototype device on the table, and Hansen suddenly realized that Song Zhaomei chose to betray for her own life.
"No!"
At this moment, Gago, who had frowned and said nothing, suddenly said: "Hackers infected by the black wall can't only be cured by this thing."
"I heard that LA's AI White Queen can also achieve this effect. Since Song Zhaomei is Miles' confidant, there is no need for her to go far away and ask for our help!"
"I don't believe that LA can't save her!"
The alert Gago suddenly noticed the flaw and said it in time, and Hansen, who came to his senses, looked at Aguilar with suspicion.
If this matter is not clear, I am afraid that Song Zhaomei will eat both ends, and no one will benefit at that time!
Facing the question raised by Gago, Aguilar not only did not panic, but looked at him with appreciation, "Hansen, it seems that your subordinates are not completely stupid."
"Yes, we also asked her this question, and her answer was that she wanted freedom, so the reward she asked for was to cure the body infected by the black wall and a luxury apartment in the Crystal Palace."
"After the matter is done, we will send Song Zhaomei to the Crystal Palace and let her live out her life in space from now on."
After listening to Aguilar's answer, Hansen nodded quite convinced. If he were Song Zhaomei, he would do the same.
As for Miles, the president boss who eats people without spitting bones, even if Song Zhaomei was sent to the LA company to cure her illness, what awaits her will only be the next round of high-intensity work.
It is no wonder that Song Zhaomei chose to betray Miles at this time. It turns out that the conditions given by the European bosses are really tempting!
For the European consortiums, using an AI neural matrix once, plus a Crystal Palace luxury apartment worth billions of euros, can exchange for the opportunity to stab Miles in the back, which is definitely a worthwhile exchange of interests.
"So, Song Zhaomei is trustworthy?"
Hansen is very suspicious. He never trusts anyone easily, especially important figures in the enemy camp.
At least for him, the reason of choosing to betray for freedom is somewhat unconvincing, so Hansen has to be cautious enough.
"Whether she is trustworthy or not does not depend on what the other party says, but on what she does. When the time comes, we will give her instructions, and we will know whether her betrayal is true or false at a glance."
Aguilar's words touched Hansen's heart. Language is always empty and weak, and only actions can verify true thoughts.
After seeing that Hansen had understood the most basic situation, Aguilar was ready to introduce him to Song Zhaomei, a new teammate in the Dog Town camp.
Immediately, Aguilar inserted the communication device chip into his brain-computer slot. When the signal information was successfully connected, he projected Song Zhaomei's holographic image through his artificial eye device.
The moment he saw Song Zhaomei, Hansen was immediately shocked by this exquisite half-human, half-machine beauty, because Song Zhaomei's transformation level was close to the level of cyberpsychosis.
He had to wonder what the hacker's mental state was like.
"Aguilar, where is the thing I want?"
Song Zhaomei asked straight to the point, her voice was a little tired and haggard, as if she had just completed a difficult work task.
"I have brought the AI neural matrix prototype here, now all you need is your specific action."
After that, Aguilar opened the iron box on the table, which contained the neural matrix device that Song Zhaomei had been thinking about.
As a participant in the Little Big Dipper Project, she knew what this thing looked like better than anyone else.
