Chapter 4: Mechanical Mouse (Part 2)

  Yang Yawei's home was in the countryside, and mice were nothing new to him. He reached out to grab this mouse, which didn't show any intention of running away. When Yang Yawei stabbed the fruit knife into its back, the mouse didn't make a sound. However, soon Yang Yawei was surprised because the mouse's skin was extremely tough. With his greatest strength, he couldn't even cut through its skin with the fruit knife.

  It's clear that this mouse's skin is probably not flesh and blood, and even a fruit knife can't cut it open. Yang Yawei realized that this mouse has completely become a mechanical product, just like the biological modification device described. This thing... is probably not a product of Earth at all.

  Even if Yang Yiwai couldn't understand the world's most advanced technology, he knew that there was no light on earth that could directly transform a biological organism into a fully mechanical mechanical life.

  "What's the use of this thing?" Yang Yawei put the mouse in his hand, looking at it with some curiosity and muttering to himself. If he hadn't personally experimented with a knife, Yang Yawei wouldn't have been able to see that the mouse's body was entirely made of metal, composed purely of metal.

  "The mechanical mouse is one of the lowest-level bio-mechanical modifications, with basic detection and tracking functions. Depending on the obstacle, it can detect and track various minerals and metals within a range of 15 kilometers to 1 kilometer, or track various information signals and preset targets." Just as Yang Yawei's voice fell, a mechanical voice rang out.

  A strange voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room, and Yang Yawei, who was pondering the mechanical mouse in his hand, almost got scared to death. When he came back to his senses, Yang Yawei reacted violently, stuttering as he looked at the computer and asked: "Y...y...you can talk? What kind of thing are you?"

  "Sorry, the program's intelligence is limited or the database is insufficient. Please re-consult the question." The mechanical voice came from the computer again, but this time Yang Yawei didn't need to answer and understood that the voice was a computer-generated sound, which was the so-called biological modification instrument's built-in program.

  "You said this thing can track any signal, such as signals on the internet?" Yang Yawei immediately thought of his own profession and his recently ruined laptop.

  "Analysis, network signals are the most basic light pulse signal and electromagnetic signal low-level hybrid signal, mechanical mouse can fully capture laser diode and avalanche photodiode conversion signal, can be accurately tracked, tracking range is effective terminal equipment according to obstacles different from 10 km to 1 km range. The sound of machinery directly gave out the most accurate answer."

  Yang Yiwei was shocked, his jaw almost dropped. As a computer science major, he understood what the device meant. For example, our usual online communication is achieved through optical cables, also known as fiber optics. Our data needs to be converted into a mixture of light waves and electromagnetic waves through various diodes before being transmitted to another location through the fiber optic cable, and then converted back into network data through diodes, displayed on our computers.

  Yang Yawei just wanted to know if this mechanical mouse could track people like those hackers, but the computer's answer was that it wasn't tracking the elusive data streams on the internet, but rather directly tracking the unique and independent light wave fluctuations in the fiber optic cables!

  This means that no one can escape the tracking of this thing! Because each light wave in the fiber is unique, you can use other data streams to cover up your own data stream on the network, but the light waves in the fiber cannot. The intersection of light waves in the fiber means that the two data will be completely mixed up, and diodes cannot restore them. All data exchange is completed after the conversion by diodes.

  Yang Yiwei was still in shock at the mechanical mouse's powerful function when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out of his pocket and answered without even looking, and a sweet but arrogant voice came from the other end: "Yang Yiwei, you shameless bastard, do you know my power now? Remember, ruining your computer is just a lesson for you. I'm telling you, don't do those despicable and lowly things again!"

  The sweet voice on the phone initially gave Yang Yawei a spiritual shock, but the content immediately made his face look bad. After listening, Yang Yawei directly gritted his teeth and jumped up from where he was, shouting: "Damn it, you're the one who messed with my computer?" As he spoke, Yang Yawei took the phone away from his ear, but looking at the unknown number displayed on the caller ID, Yang Yawei knew that the other party must have used software to hide their own number.

  "Congratulations, you got it right. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. You said your computer skills are impressive? Ha! With your skills, I'm a super hacker. This time, I only messed up your computer. If you continue doing those despicable things, next time I promise that for every computer you buy, one will be ruined."

  "Is it? I'm not a master, but tracking you down shouldn't be a problem, right? Shameless thing to do? If some people hadn't taken those indecent photos and put them online, do you think I'd want to crack your album? Screw you." Yang Yawei shot back.

  "Oh, so now you're talking back? What's the point of taking pictures anyway? That's our private space, what's inside is none of your business. Anyway, I'm too lazy to explain it to you. Let me tell you, next time if you dare to do this again, I'll make sure you die a terrible death." The person on the other end of the phone sneered.

  Yang Yawei was about to retort, but his gaze fell on the mouse that he had thrown onto the computer desk. Yang Yawei quickly covered the receiver and directly asked the computer: "Can you track this phone signal?"

  "Signal scan complete, shall we track the target?" The mechanical voice came over without any hesitation.

  "Track it down." Yang Yawei nodded without hesitation, this woman was right, he also had his own faults, but of course, he couldn't admit defeat verbally. Besides, he wanted to see if the mechanical mouse was as amazing as claimed.

  As soon as Yang Yawei's voice fell, the mouse he placed on the table suddenly came to life and scurried out with a "swoosh" sound, just like a real mouse. Before Yang Yawei could see its shadow, the mouse had already disappeared from his line of sight, and he didn't even know how it left the room.

  The door of the room was closed, and if you wanted to leave, you could only go through the window, but this is on the seventh floor! Could it be that this mechanical mouse can fly and walk on walls? When the mouse disappeared from view, Yang Yiwei finally put down the receiver, but the "beep" sound had already been transmitted from the other end of the line, indicating that the other party had hung up the phone.

  Yang Yawei looked at his phone and didn't know if the other party had hung up, this mechanical mouse could still be tracked, but there was no good way to do it now.

  "Target location locked, whether to return real-time image? Communication signal analysis completed, number has been generated, whether to display?" Yang Yawei had just sat down at the desk when a new prompt sound came from the computer.

  "Transmit the real-time image and display the number." Yang Yawei couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

  As soon as Yang Yawei's voice fell, a picture directly appeared on the computer screen, which was no different from those images transmitted back in the movie. The only difference is that this picture is extremely realistic, just like watching a 1080P high-definition movie.

  The screen is divided into two screens, the left one is a real-time image, which should be the image seen by the mechanical mouse's eyes. The right image is a 3D stereoscopic anatomical diagram, not only are all the target buildings of the mechanical mouse transformed into transparent 3D buildings represented by lines, but also marked with red dots indicating the target and action route of the mechanical mouse.
