Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

"To be precise, yes."

Huh?

Fang Heng and the other person who were talking simultaneously turned their heads, looking at Qiu Yaokang walking towards them from the side.

Qiu Yaokang held a document in his hand, walked to the two of them, and looked up at the creatures in the culture dish.

"I just tested a part of the mechanical device removed from the mutated creature. After asking Victor to help me disassemble it, we found some kind of central core inside."

"Really!" Doud's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it a control core?"

"It can be considered as such. To be precise, it is some kind of conversion device core. We just conducted a simple test. This core is similar to a signal receiver. It can receive external communication signals, decode them, amplify the signals, and then feed back the signals."

Qiu Yaokang said, the corners of his mouth rising, "Interestingly, these signals will be superimposed and released among themselves."

Fang Heng was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I think it may be related to the limitations of their mental abilities. Let me give you an example. Suppose you control your zombies to act, assuming there is a mental connection between you, and your 100,000 zombies transmit some kind of signal to you non-stop every second, and they are still different signals."

Qiu Yaokang glanced at Fang Heng and said, "At the same time, your brain is filled with multiple signals, and you may explode."

Fang Heng opened his mouth.

Indeed, he now receives information through game prompts.

When thousands of zombie clones are together, the game logs are refreshed by several pages.

If all this information flows into the brain, it is estimated that it will easily explode.

"So the signals of the Kindred are relatively simple and are kept unified in groups. For example, 10,000 are in a group. In my guess, the signals are probably basic commands such as 'attack', 'defend', 'retreat', and so on."

Qiu Yaokang said, raising his second finger.

"Secondly, the second point is that because the communication distance between the Kindred and the controlled creatures is too far, the received signals may be deviated, or even there is a probability that they will not be received."

"In order to make up for this defect, you let each zombie shout after receiving the signal, so that the groups around them who cannot receive the signal can also confirm the signal through their companions, and very quickly, some erroneous signals will be submerged in the correct signal wave."

"In this way, the voice of the entire group will gradually become unified, the actions will become unified, and the correctness of the signal will be ensured. The same is true for the signals transmitted back. You may not be able to hear a zombie clone shouting at you from a long distance, but if everyone shouts together, the probability of you hearing it is undoubtedly higher."

Fang Heng nodded, understood roughly, and asked doubtfully: "So... what do you mean is that we can use this?"

"Yes, we just tried it briefly. Through overclocking technology, we can make the machine release a powerful signal feedback wave in a very short time."

Doud immediately looked surprised when he heard this.

He felt that Qiu Yaokang was such a genius!

A genius idea!

Fang Heng was a little dizzy and didn't understand, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Ahem."

Doud coughed lightly from the side and explained to Fang Heng: "Let's take the previous example. Suppose you remotely control your 10,000 zombies to fight mutated monsters outside. According to your original settings, they will send back three types of information: 'can win', 'can't win', and 'stalemate'."

"Yeah, then what?"

"At the beginning, your zombie clones were all sending out the signal 'can win'. Suddenly, a certain zombie suddenly sent out the signal 'can't win', and it shouted particularly loudly, even drowning out most of the other zombies' shouts."

"Because it shouted so loudly, it triggered the group adjustment effect, and the other zombies felt that they might be wrong, so they also started shouting with it."

"Based on the group transmission theory, the signal you receive here will soon become 'can win', 'can't win', 'can win'... You will be confused, and in the worst case, the entire group may be misled by the 'traitor', giving you a unified wrong signal!"

"In short, your zombies are out of control remotely."

Qiu Yaokang looked approvingly, "The example is not very appropriate, but Fang Heng, just understand it this way. In short, influencing the judgment of the control end is one aspect. As long as we can send out high-intensity overclocking signals, we can completely influence the signal reception confusion of semi-mechanical modified creatures within a certain area, causing mechanical creatures in an area to temporarily lose their abilities."

Fang Heng's spirits lifted when he heard this.

Qiu Yaokang is still reliable!

Isn't the problem solved?

"But..."

Qiu Yaokang said, nodding and thinking: "If we can decipher the Kindred's signal encoding, we may be able to guide the mechanical bodies to make wrong judgments, or even directly obtain their control authority."

Fang Heng swallowed carefully.

Good fellow, he was just thinking about farming monsters.

Qiu Yaokang is already thinking about how to directly control the mutated creature swarm?

If it really works...

Doud was also excited by Qiu Yaokang's words and immediately said: "Mr. Qiu, the signal encoding can be left to us! We have studied some special encodings of the Kindred before. We have experience. We confirm that some of them are a special way for the Kindred to communicate mentally."

"Well, then there is still the problem of the signal converter."

Qiu Yaokang paused, nodded and continued: "It's not that there is no solution. Judging from the various data of the mechanical mutated creatures we dissected, larger elite creatures are more difficult to control, so a larger central converter will be implanted in their bodies. If we find the converter from them and modify it..."

"Although overclocking and releasing signals will cause irreversible damage to the instrument, it is likely to be a one-time item, but it is expected to cause at least a temporary paralysis of creatures within a 200-meter range for at least 20 seconds..."

"Assuming the encoding is cracked..."

Victor looked at Qiu Yaokang, who was muttering to himself, with a smile on his face, walked to Fang Heng, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Boss, so it's up to you next. Find larger elite creatures and collect the central core from them. I will perform a perfect operation on them."

Game prompts flashed quickly on Fang Heng's retina.
