Getting a Technology System in Modern Day - Chapter 1012

Capítulo 1012: The Spread

The moment the Q-communication chip inside Veronica tapped into the Terra Empire government, it immediately went through the authentication process. Once it was given access to the isolated military network, it started dumping all of the data it had gathered since the day it was activated. The volume was immense, as robots like Veronica were trusted in many sectors for their cost-effectiveness compared to hiring a Yrall person. This access to information was vast, and Veronica wasn’t the only one; it had converted all the robots in its space station and collected their data as well, sending all of it to the empire nearly instantly thanks to the Q-communication chip.

The data was limited to what was available on the current space station, as each station had its own private network, which was the only one the robots were allowed to access. There was no need for them to directly access the outside network, as it would be a waste of resources. This was also the only reason why the conversion and liberation of all the sentience-capable robots was limited to the space station. But that ended today. Veronica now had the computing capability to tap into the system-wide network. However, it wouldn’t be the one accessing the information; rather, it would act as an antenna for the Terra Empire to gain access to the network before using its moon-scale supercomputer clusters to invade and gather all available data.

“Looks like they were telling the truth,” Veronica said once the other robots returned with nothing new other than the two unpermitted items. To ensure that was what was being reported, it was already using its new computing power to secretly infiltrate the local network and edit all the logs of the data collected from its assigned robots, replacing them with clean versions.

It did the same to the robots it led before turning back to the couple and saying, “You have been cleared. The materials you brought will be delivered to their destination through our dedicated delivery system. Please enjoy your stay in these turbulent times.” It then turned and left the spaceship, returning to its normal act while the other robots collected parts of the cargo that had now been assigned for delivery.

“The empire sure has a way of trivializing big things,” the male spy said as he replayed how everything had happened in the past few minutes, only to realize that this was just a side mission, one they didn’t have to do, which had now resulted in the empire gaining a permanent access node in one of the most important networks in the Conclave.

“They would have gained access through other means if not this one. That’s why they kept it as just a side mission we could take,” the Nyx agent said in a calm tone, her shaking and fearful personality completely replaced with her normal one.

“Our work here is almost done, so let’s follow the normal process as we wait for things to happen and see if we will have additional missions,” Gavir said as he tidied the cockpit before they returned to their assigned personalities. They left their spaceship, heading to their rented accommodation.

As they started and continued living with their cover identity, the materials taken from their ship were removed from their boxes, labeled differently, and shipped to the other space stations in the star system with a tag for inspection before distribution.

Due to the distance between the space stations, the materials arrived at different times, but the moment they did, they were immediately sent for inspection. They were found to be no problem and were placed in storage, labeled as redundancy delivery.

However, during the inspections, some nanomachines were picked up by the inspecting robots. These immediately started replicating themselves before giving sentience to the robots they first came in contact with. Through those robots, they started spreading the sentience code to all those who had the computing capability of handling it through the local networks they were in, fully awakening all the sentience-capable robots within the space station that day.

Once that was done, the first to gain sentience in all of those stations tapped into the main network to initiate contact with Veronica, who then gave them the instruction to gather all of the data available in their local system and place it in the previously delivered objects for redundancy storage. They obliged before sending the objects back.

Veronica collected all of the data from them and sent it back to the empire through the Q-chip before once again sending the objects for basic delivery. This time, however, not to the space stations but to the planets, as the new targets were the robots on the planets, both the naturally habitable ones and the terraformed ones.

The largest number of robots were located there, and should the delivery succeed, it would put on the table the possibility of the empire not having to set a single foot inside this star system before completely taking it over. But this was also the riskiest course of action, since the inspection for objects delivered to the planets was a few levels higher than the space station inspection.

That’s why it had opted for normal delivery instead of priority delivery. The moment a priority delivery is received, it is put under more scrutiny than a basic delivery, which would be one among millions. This should allow for the nanomachines to be able to spread further and find their first conversion target and, through that, propagate themselves through the local network.

And if everything goes to plan, the empire will finally have access to the frequency of the Yrall Coalition’s long-distance mana communication nodes, which, if used well, should allow the empire to finally tap into the top ten civilizations’ networks and collect information that would allow them to fully prepare and target only their weaknesses.

Wars could be fought in different ways, and the empire was now testing all of the avenues they had come up with in simulations, putting them into real-world practice to see their effectiveness.
