The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Lu Qianwei gently patted her shoulder, "As for your internal procedural issues... the one thing we have in abundance here is talent!"

……

Not long after, a silver-haired girl with cool-toned light purple highlights at the ends of her hair entered the medical room.

This seemingly quiet and reserved girl was once known as "Zero Frame," a hacker who ranked seventh on the dark web before the apocalypse.

Their most glorious achievement was breaking into the Hela Empire's cybernetic database using only a modified terminal.

This led to the influx of high-end prosthetic data into the black market, causing prices to plummet so that once scarce prosthetics became common equipment available to everyone.

To evade the Hela Empire's pursuit, she had already fled to the Kingdom of Heluo before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse broke out, he was rescued by Lu Qianwei and taken into the Dark Fortress's 'Cybersecurity Department'.

The Cybersecurity Department is primarily responsible for deciphering and mining technical information from older data.

Now, naturally, they can go back to their old ways.

As for why we need Xihe, an artificial intelligence with consciousness, we also need network talent.

Qi Yiqianwei didn't want to take any risks; who knew what level the network in the alien world belonged to?

Secondly, it's about creating jobs. You can't just keep someone who only has internet skills and no other skills on the payroll.

The medical room was now neatly equipped with dozens of gleaming display screens and military-grade quantum terminals.

The silver-gray alloy data lines extend clearly, connecting to the interface on the back of Shia's neck.

"Relax," the girl's voice was soft, with a slightly rustling quality.

With his fingertips pressed against the interface exposed behind Shia's neck, he said, "I'll read your underlying logic backup first, without triggering any defense programs."

As she spoke, Sylvia began her work, typing intently on the keyboard, her fingers moving so fast they almost left afterimages.

As the dark blue data stream rapidly spun across the screen, Shia stiffened her back.

Lu Qianwei's words made Xia, who has self-awareness and understands that she should live for herself, decisively choose to cooperate.

She didn't fall out with the company, nor did she want to put her fate in the company's conscience.

PS: "威兰德汤谷公司" is a different transliteration of the Chinese name of Weyland - Yutani Corporation. The standard transliteration should be 威兰德-尤坦尼公司.

_(:з」∠)_ I'm so done with all this information, sometimes it's called Yutani, sometimes it's called Yutani (?_?|||).

Chapter 33 Satellite Communications Recovery

The deep blue data stream wove into an impenetrable net on the screen. Sylvia's fingertips gradually slowed down as they danced across the keyboard. She looked up at Lu Qianwei standing to the side, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Brother Lu, it's a bit troublesome to directly delete her obsolete program."

She reached out and tapped a string of scarlet code on the screen. "This thing and its underlying logic form a domino effect."

If I make changes, I can't guarantee her personality won't be reset, and then it's uncertain whether she'll still be Shia.

Lu Qianwei frowned upon hearing this, leaned closer to the screen to scan the code, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any other way?"

We can't leave this time bomb alive.

If the other party is secretly implanted with some kind of instruction, the Black Edge base will inevitably have its information leaked.

Upon hearing this, Sylvia smiled and tapped a few times on the terminal, bringing up a new program window: "It can't be deleted, but I can add a layer of 'disguise' to it."

Write a disruptive program and embed it to directly mess up the logic of the obsolete instructions.

Even if someone remotely triggers the program, it won't affect her; it can't even be read, let alone alter her underlying personality.

"Just do whatever you want, I don't understand it anyway." Lu Qianwei nodded.

“Okay,” Sylvia replied, but did not start working. Instead, she smiled and looked at Lu Qianwei.

Why are you looking at me like that? Did you find something again?

Lu Qianwei took a step back. Every time he saw her do this, he knew she was trying to take advantage of him again.

“Hehe, it really was fruitful, and... a lot!” Sylvia pressed a button.

The screen, which had been displaying a dark blue code, instantly switched to a panoramic view of a planet with interwoven green and crimson lava patches, suspended in the center.

It is indeed the planet Gina!

Sylvia smiled broadly at Lu Qianwei, “I traced the signal source of the positioning chip inside her body and found a geostationary satellite.”

Then, following the satellite signals, they located two more.

"Wow~ Impressive!" Lu Qianwei gasped and gave a thumbs up.

In less than half an hour, they figured out the code and even reverse-engineered the location, and judging from the screen... they've clearly hacked right in.

"Is this okay?" Lu Qianwei pointed to the satellite's trajectory on the hologram.

"Hmph~" Sylvia's face was full of undisguised smugness. She held her head high and put her hands in front of her chest, confidently saying, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Although I don't know the state of civilization in this world, these guys' satellite firewalls are far inferior to the old system of the Hela Empire!"

When I hacked in, it was like strolling through my own backyard; their monitoring system didn't detect a thing.

Lu Qianwei's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's just hack them and turn them into ours."

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, have you forgotten something?!"

"I haven't even taken care of my own business yet, and it's rare for me to make such a big decision!" Shia, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly interrupted.

"Ahem, don't worry, of course I'll deal with your matter first."

Lu Qianwei coughed awkwardly, then looked at Sylvia, "Alright, tell me, what extra reward do you want this time?"

Sylvia held up one finger, swallowed hard, and said, "I want to eat meat! I want to eat all kinds of meat!"

The wild beasts from Gina Star are now available on the market, but in order to ensure that everyone can eat them, they are basically limited in quantity.

This is completely unsatisfying for foodies who have always had a monotonous diet!

Taking this opportunity, Sylvia naturally wanted to seek benefits for her department.

To ensure that she has fresh meat, vegetables, and fruits for every meal, she added, "The three satellites are riddled with vulnerabilities; my men could easily control them without a sound."

They can even use satellite signals to send specially made viruses into their lair's database.

By then, we'll have a complete grasp of their database. This deal is sure to be profitable, right?

"If you let me eat meat until I'm full, and the department has meat for every meal, I guarantee they'll be incredibly motivated!"

Lu Qianwei laughed heartily, walked up to Sylvia, and patted her on the shoulder: "Deal!"

"The rest is up to you!" With that, he turned and headed out of the medical room.

Only Sylvia remained, beaming with joy, as she returned to the keyboard, typing furiously.

Lu Qianwei glanced at it with a smile. The Black Fang Base was originally built for hunting, so how could there be a limit on meat?

The wholesale price is even cheaper, so I hope she won't feel resentful when she goes to the cafeteria, hahaha...

The next morning, Sylvia stared intently at Lu Qianwei with resentment in her eyes.

It made him uneasy, but he pretended not to notice and said, "Thank you for your hard work~"

Sylvia's fist hardened (?O?O), she really wanted to say "No!"

But this shows a lack of self-confidence, and he ultimately said with resentment, "It's all done!"

I also copied the old world satellite code and embedded it into those three satellites.

She handed the tablet to Lu Qianwei and added, "Now everyone at the base can directly communicate, locate, and connect via satellite..."

In short, all the network functions that worked before still work here, except for playing games!

"Cough cough, alright alright~" Seeing how capable the other party was, Lu Qianwei quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "I'll give you a ferocious beast cub as a mount later."

“They’re really cool, look!” Lu Qianwei said, showing a photo of the six-member family of the monstrous beasts.

Since rescuing them from the Luna worms, the two beasts have returned to Black Edge Base with the army.

Later, humans continued to feed them, enjoying the privilege of being well-fed at every meal, and even brought their own offspring to the camp to live a life of luxury.

It was only then that Lu Qianwei realized the other party already had offspring, and the photo was taken casually at that time.

Looking at these majestic big dogs, Sylvia felt that riding them around would indeed be very impressive!

"Are you really going to give me one?" she asked suspiciously.

“Really! More real than real gold!” Lu Qianwei said with utmost sincerity.

We have to send them out! Those guys can eat way too much!

If the fortress wants to maintain the monetary system, then its administrator cannot undermine it.

If it weren't for the fact that they would go hunting with the army, he felt his savings were almost gone.

So he decided that he would just raise the Fiends from now on. At least when the top predator went out hunting, he wouldn't have to worry about it being killed by other creatures.

Seeing that Lu Qianwei was genuinely giving it to her, Sylvia's complaining expression disappeared.

Smiling, she then delivered another message to him: "Based on the satellite signal source."

I discovered that there was an armed research base of the other side 300 kilometers away.

"They're all cyborgs inside. If you need, I can alter the underlying logic of all the cyborgs except for that advanced one named Tessa!"

Chapter 34 Adult Eclipse

The crimson Gobi Desert is barren, and two enormous creatures with bodies covered in bone spurs and armor are locked in a fierce battle.

The victor's scythe-like forelimbs tore open the opponent's abdominal cavity, and foul-smelling organs mixed with sand and gravel splattered everywhere.

It tossed its blood-stained head and had just let out a hoarse roar to assert its territorial sovereignty when a shadow suddenly loomed over it.

Before it could react, a pair of metallic claws pierced its shell and dragged it into the sky.

Despite its prey's frantic struggles, the bat-like bird with a lizard's head, its large, fang-filled beak snapped down with a single bite.

Accompanied by the sound of bones being chewed, scarlet blood splattered down.

Within minutes, the ferocious predator was reduced to just a few wisps of fur.
