Home Guard.

It was mainly a security company signed up in the United States rather than Korea.

​

Although technology advances and the world changes, there are still more illegal guns floating around on the black market than there are people in the United States, and since it was a country where guns were legal to begin with, it was natural for the public to pay attention to safety.

​

As more people paid attention to safe homes than expected, a company called Home Guard appeared. At first, it was a simple system called a smart home system, which used AI to measure the psychological state of an intruder through his or her eyes or behavior, report it to the police, and lock the door. It was a simple program that sounded a siren in the back.

​

Contrary to the cynicism of those who thought that it would only work, the number of subscribers increased explosively when it was revealed that even with these simple measures, the survival rate of subscribers increased exponentially.

​

Home Guard was not satisfied with that.

Now, many companies will emerge that follow Home Guard, and settling for the status quo would mean being eliminated.

As such, Homeguard devoted most of its budget to research expenses and focused more on keeping customers’ homes safe by collaborating with Alchemist, a company that makes biobots and mechanics.

​

From the level of reporting and sounding a siren to the level of applying high voltage electricity to the door and warning intruders.

And beyond that, when an injury occurs, the home guard immediately dispatches a medical biobot.

Not satisfied with that, he went to the extent of repelling multiple invaders with live ammunition weapons.

When a grenade or firearm is detected, each projectile is intercepted with a laser using an interceptor, which is an installed defense device.

By hiding special bulletproof panels inside the walls, an ordinary home can be instantly transformed into a fortress in the event of an intruder.

A drone can be hidden inside the house to monitor the safety of the home, and even an AI-controlled drone that actively intervenes and defends itself when necessary.

Finally, in collaboration with Protect, which created a machine that protects against physical shock by creating an energy field that is only possible in the future using the new energy Marka, they installed it at home.

​

If all these defense systems were breached, they could have taken refuge in an underground bunker under the floor of the house.

​

And finally, by adding nanobots that repair all of these machines, it has gone beyond simple homes to contracts with hospitals, important facilities, and even military defense facilities.

​

So everyone unanimously evaluated that company as being crazy.

Since the CEO had the experience of losing his family to an intruder, he felt an obsession with preventing anything beyond the initial level of defending his home.

​

Would it be a joke to say that even a heavily armed terrorist group wouldn’t be able to rob an ordinary home at this level?

Of course, since Home Guard also provides services in several packages, it is extremely rare for all of these to be included, but the scary thing about Home Guard is that the moment the AI ​​determines that you are an enemy and activates Home Guard, your life is no different from death.

​

Even in Korea, where guns are banned, even though it is a means of harming people, it is allowed in that it is not something that the homeowner can arbitrarily operate, but AI makes the judgment and even decides to kill.

​

This is because at the time it was already allowed, Korea was treated as a lawless zone with no fear of the law due to all sorts of things, so it even allowed the killing of combat-type biobots and turned a blind eye.

​

In this way, a company called Home Guard in Korea has become deeply embedded in the lives of ordinary people over a long period of time.

​

So the country called Korea was really annoying.

Even if the popularization of common technologies was successful, it was extremely rare in other countries for this to reach every corner of the province.

Even if you join the Home Guard, it is limited to protecting against simple live ammunition weapons.

​

From the intruder’s point of view, it was impossible to tell at first glance how expensive the homeowner had subscribed to the Home Guard package, so they did not attempt to break in even if the Home Guard sign was posted.

However, in a country where there are only a few people left with a little money, the safety obsession has plastered every home with the rating right below the most expensive package of Home Guard.

​

“It’s really annoying.”

​

Weee

​

[Intruder detected.]

​

[Defense protocol activated.]

​

[Call combat-type biobot.]

​

[Bulletproof panel fortification. Door control.]

​

The wall flipped over, revealing a steel wall and bulletproof panels.

​

[warning.]

​

[Request to disarm the intruder.]

​

[3]

​

[2]

​

[One]

​

[Three defense drones ejected. Permission to kill.]

​

Buuu

​

[Aim for complete silence of the intruder.]

​

[Prepare to fire.]

​

“Hey, I didn’t really mean to cause any trouble. I just wanted to talk to that kid. Maybe I can find the answer to the problem I was looking for.”

​

The drone’s movement did not stop despite the words of the woman in the black suit.

There is no sign of the target retreating.

The weapon hidden in the suit was not disarmed either.

​

If so, the answer was fixed.

​

A flying object that looked like a silver awl flew towards the enemy’s leg, aiming to pierce it and subdue it.

And behind it, a drone equipped with a jamming device and a hacking device was making evasive maneuvers and emitting unpleasant sound waves, and in the distance, a drone equipped with a coil gun was waiting at a certain distance, floating its projectile in the air, as if waiting for something.

​

As the intruder moved his legs to easily avoid the silver awl, the drones began attacking the intruder all at once.

Since the suppression failed, there was no further mercy.

​

[High risk intruder!]

​

[Kill!]

​

[Kill! Kill!]

​

Pick pick pick pick

​

Bullets floating in the air were fired one after another from the coil gun.

​

The woman who had easily avoided it frowned.

​

Yiiing

​

It was a hacking attempt.

There was no way that the biobot could be hacked, but it was difficult because it constantly interfered with calculations.

In other words, it was annoying.

​

When she placed her hand on her thigh, a huge pistol came out of the suit with the sound of deflation. She took it out and aimed it at the drone attempting to hack, but the drone attempting to hack was not visible there.

To be precise, there were dozens of drones surrounding the area.

​

It was a hologram.

​

“Ah, really. bothered. Is this what mosquitoes feel like to humans? “I really had no intention of threatening you, but I wonder if they would have come to breach the home guard with equipment like this in the first place.”

​

Kiiing

​

When she heard the sound of a small hover bike approaching at high speed in the distance, she completely gave up and turned around.

They were combat-type biobots.

There is a very high possibility that it belongs to Violet.

​

Violet may be quite far away from here, but since this city itself is Violet’s headquarters, coming here is quite risky.

​

“It’s expensive.”

​

A sound like a drill breaking hard stone echoed from the ground.

The black-haired woman rode a drill-like car that appeared through the road beyond the fence and instantly disappeared into the ground.

​

It happened so quickly that the drones began circling the house and searching after the intruder retreated.

This was because there was a case where another accomplice broke in while the drone was tracking an intruder.

In that case, even the accomplice failed to break in, but it was judged that the fact that he could not pay attention to defense because he was being chased by the drone was a clear flaw.

​

Tiny nanobots were surrounding the house and garden, erasing traces of battle and carrying out repairs.

​

​

*****

​

​

“???”

​

Due to Doldol’s kidnapping, I was forced to sit on the sofa and watch TV.

​

why not?

​

Given the circumstances, I would have separated her because she was a dangerous person, but I am a person who is amazing at detecting hostility toward myself, but even after washing my eyes and looking for her, there was not a single trace of hostility.

​

So, even though I explained it, Doldori was not justified.

​

This is overprotection!

​

​

[‘You have cancer? You need a kidney? You need an organ, but there are no transplant recipients? For those of you who are interested, apply in advance for cloning technology, whose research will begin soon! This is an advertisement that appeared on American TV that said, ‘You will be able to receive the organs you need after 10 to 20 years.’ Considering Korea’s past examples, isn’t this a dangerous technology? Voices of concern are also growing in the United States.]

​

[Is cloning technology truly safe?]

​

[No one can say for sure because safety has not been tested over a long period of time. but…]

​

[Aren’t clones human after all? This is a serious human rights violation…]

​

[10 to 20 years is ultimately the period during which clones grow. Then, in the end, they will go through a growth rate and growth process that is no different from that of us humans, and in the end, they will raise humans like livestock for organ purposes and cut open their bellies to obtain organs. This is also ethical…]

​

[There is, of course, a reason why human cloning was banned in the past. If the problem is simply a lack of people, isn’t there an artificial womb that eliminates the need to go through the process of pregnancy?]

​

[‘Think of the endless possibilities clones bring. Do these created beings have souls? Can one truly be considered a ‘human being’? It’s just a new technology, like biobots. They are simply objects that share the same genetic code. A challenge to humanity?’]

​

[‘No. It’s convenient to think of it as just another form of biobot.’]

​

[Is human cloning really a scientific achievement when there is already artificial organ technology that replaces the role of organs? Or is it a challenge to humanity?]

​

[Liam Flores, a strong critic of cloning technology, revealed to the world an item called a mind chip, saying he had found the answer to conquering dementia.]

​

[‘I dare say that the mind chip is a technology that completely conquers the brain that humanity so desperately desires. Dementia cured? Of course, it is still possible. But what I want to say is that it is a technology that can utilize 100% of the brain. This chip will take over the memory part of your brain and store your memories! I would like to say that anyone who uses this product will become a memorization genius. Half of your brain was shattered? Oh my. It would have been fine if they had come to our company and backed up their memories on a chip. If you implant this chip, even if your brain is damaged, the chip’s nanobots will remove part of the damaged brain and take the chip’s place!’]

​

[As a result of a public opinion poll on these technologies, most people say that the world is becoming too scary. On the other hand, statistics have emerged showing that as the world develops, comfort becomes more comfortable and happiness levels increase.]

​

​

Musher.

Before I knew it, I had hugged Dream, who had come into the living room, and learned about the fear of the world.

​

​

“Why is the house like this? What’s going on at home?”

​

Ina came home.

Of course, wisdom also came back.

​

However, unlike before, which was operated quickly, it took a while for the house to return to its original appearance.

When the family returned, nanobots and drones gathered together and surrounded Jihye and Ina like bees guarding a hive.

​

“I don’t know. Someone came to the house earlier and Doldoli did this.”

​

“What? who? Did you get caught?”

​

“I don’t know.”

There were so many layers of blocking the door that the metal plates covering the steel door slowly entered the wall, and even after Ji-hye and Ina arrived home, it took a whopping 20 minutes for them to come in.

​

I don’t think the situation was one to overreact like this, but there must be a reason for being so overprotective, right?

​

When I explained the situation, Jihye was shocked and explained the situation to the combat-type biobots who had arrived. In the end, I began to feel very sorry for them who surrounded our house in layers and worked overtime to protect it.

​

It feels like they’re working overtime because of me…

I even saw Violet, who I hadn’t seen for a few days, run over and look at me, and I wondered if the situation was actually dangerous.
