Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game



"To be precise, can."

Hmm?

Fang Heng and Dodd, who were talking, turned around at the same time and looked at Qiu Yaokang, who was walking towards them.

Qiu Yaokang held a file in his hand and walked to the two of them. He looked up at the creature in the petri dish.

"I've just examined a part of the mechanical device that was removed from the mutated form. After asking Victor to help me dismantle it, we found some kind of central core."

Dodd's eyes lit up as he asked, "Really? Is it the control core?"

"Kind of. To be exact, it's 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 feedback the signals."

Qiu Yaokang smiled and said, "What's interesting is that these signals will overlap with each other."

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

"I think it might be related to the limitations of their psychic abilities. Let me give you an example. For example, if you control the actions of your zombies, assuming that there is a psychic connection between you and your zombies, your 100,000 zombies will continuously transmit some kind of signal to you at the speed of once per second, and it is a different signal."

Qiu Yaokang glanced at Fang Heng and said, "At the same time, your mind is filled with multiple signals. You will probably explode from it."

Fang Heng opened his mouth.

Indeed, he was receiving messages through the game notifications. When thousands of zombies were fighting together, the game log would refresh several pages. If all this information flowed into the brain, he would probably explode someday.

"Therefore, the signals of the spawns are relatively simple. They are also unified in groups, such as 10,000 in a group. Based on my guess, the signals are probably basic commands such as 'attack', 'guard', 'retreat', and so on."

Qiu Yaokang raised his second finger.

"Secondly, because the communication distance between the spawns and the controlled creature is too far, there may be a deviation in the received signal, and there is even a chance that it won't be received."

"In order to make up for this flaw, you let every zombie call out once after receiving the signal. This way, the groups around them that can't receive the signal can also confirm the signal through their companions."

"In this way, the voices of the whole group will gradually become unified, and their actions will also become unified to ensure the accuracy of the signal. As for the signal transmitted back, it will be the same. If a zombie clone shouts at you from afar, you might not be able to hear it, but if everyone shouts together, the probability of you hearing it will undoubtedly be higher."

Fang Heng nodded and understood. He asked curiously, "So...Are you saying that we can take advantage of this?"

"Yes, we just tried it out. Through overclock technology, we can make the machine release powerful signal feedback fluctuations in a short period of time."

Dodd was pleasantly surprised when he heard that.

He felt that Qiu Yaokang was really a genius!

The mind of a genius makes wonders!

Fang Heng felt a little dizzy as he still did not understand. He asked, "What do you mean?"

"Ahem."

Dodd coughed lightly and explained to Fang Heng, "Let's go back to the previous scenario. If you remotely control your 10,000 zombies to fight mutated forms outside, according to your original settings, they would send back three messages: 'Can beat them', 'Cannot beat them', and 'Deadlock'."

"Yes, and then?"

"In the beginning, your zombie clones were all sending out signals that they could beat the mutated form. Suddenly, one of them sent out a signal that it couldn't beat the mutated form. It was screaming so loudly that its voice drowned out most of the other zombies' shouts."

"Because it shouted so loudly, it triggered the group adjustment effect. The other zombies felt that they might have made a mistake, so they shouted along with it."

"Based on the group transmission theory, the signals you receive here will quickly change between 'can beat them', 'cannot beat them', 'can beat them'...It will be very chaotic and in the worst-case scenario, the entire race of Western Europe might be misled by the traitors, giving you the wrong signal!"

"Anyway, your zombies are losing control from afar."

Qiu Yaokang's face showed his approval and said, "The example is not very appropriate, but Fang Heng, you can understand it this way. In short, affecting the judgment of the control terminal is one aspect. As long as we can send out high-intensity overclock signals, we can completely affect the reception of half-mechanical modified creatures in the area, causing the mechanical creatures in the area to temporarily lose their abilities."

When Fang Heng heard this, his spirits were instantly lifted.

Qiu Yaokang was still reliable!

Wouldn't the problem be solved?

"However..."

Qiu Yaokang lowered his head to check the file again.

"But what?"

"However, it is very difficult to achieve this. At the moment, our technology is unable to replicate the signal convertor. In addition, we still need to code for a period of time."

Qiu Yaokang nodded and said, "If we can decipher the spawn's signal code, we might be able to guide the machines to make the wrong judgment, or even directly obtain their control authority."

Fang Heng swallowed his saliva carefully.

Good heavens, he only wanted to farm monsters.

Qiu Yaokang was already thinking about how to directly control the mutated forms.

If it really worked...

Dodd was also extremely excited by Qiu Yaokang's words. He immediately said, "Mr. Qiu, you can give us the code of the signal! We have studied some of the special codes of the spawns before. We have experience, and we have confirmed that some of them are a special way for the spawns to communicate mentally."

"Well, then there's still the problem of the signal convertor."

Qiu Yaokang paused for a moment and nodded. He said, "It's not that there's no solution. From the data collected from the mechanical mutated forms we dissected, larger elite creatures are more difficult to control. Therefore, they will be implanted with larger central convertors. If we find the convertors on them and modify them..."

"Although the overclock signal will cause irreversible damage to the instrument, and there is a high chance that it will be a one-time item, it is estimated that it can cause creatures within a range of 200 meters to temporarily enter a paralyzed state for at least 20 seconds..."

"Assuming that after cracking the code..."

Victor looked at Qiu Yaokang, who was mumbling to himself and walked to Fang Heng with a smile. He patted his shoulder and said, "Boss, so I'll need to rely on you next. Find larger elite creatures and collect the central core from them. I'll give them a perfect surgery."

The game prompt flashed quickly on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has triggered a side mission-The research team's discoveries.]
