From ship girl to machine god

There is no doubt that as a ship girl, she has both the strength and the execution ability to do so.

But all this has nothing to do with the conversation in front of him, and Wislow doesn't know how much Qingniao was thinking about at the moment when he and Qingniao were talking.

Wislow was just sorry that Blue Bird didn't accept the offer, preventing him from recruiting the strongest mercenary in the next life.

But this was just a pity for him, and it was not to the extent of using any means to achieve the goal, so he just smiled and gave up persuading Jade Bird, and turned to talk about the company's commission.

"Well, I can only hope that Rogge can recommend a suitable candidate for me." Wislow said, then looked at Qingniao seriously again, and said to her: "You don't need to care about my personal commission. , but I hope you can take the commission given by the company seriously.

Because this is a rare opportunity, both for you and for me. Once you miss this opportunity, it may be difficult for you to encounter such a good opportunity again. "

Vislow's words made Qingniao interested. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Vislow: "Oh? What opportunity?"

"An opportunity to gain favor and training from the company." Wislow showed a confident expression on his face and explained to Jade Bird in a confident manner: "As a mercenary in Night City, you should have heard of Adam Chong. Hammer and Morgan Blackhand's names, right?

The two of them worked for Arasaka and Military Technology respectively more than 50 years ago, and became legendary existences during the Fourth Corporate War.

This is inseparable from the company's investment and support for them, and now an opportunity to become the next legend like Adam Hammer and Morgan Blackhand is right in front of you. "

"I have no interest in becoming a company dog." Qingniao heard what Wislow meant, but he also expressed his own attitude.

However, this time Weislow did not appear disappointed. Instead, he continued to explain: "The company understands your unwillingness to accept constraints and jurisdiction, and there is actually no shortage of obedient people for the company."

"But you lack capable people." Jade Bird obviously did not take the security of military technology or other armed forces seriously.

"I don't deny this. Even though the security power of military technology has become very strong, we still don't have stars like Adam Hammer or Morgan Blackhand." Wislow looked at Blue Bird.

At this moment, he admired Qingniao more and more, not because of Qingniao's beauty, but because of her keen insight.

"So this time, the company has changed its strategy and plans to select a group of mercenaries for cooperation and training. The company will provide money, prosthetics, and equipment, and the selected mercenaries will be responsible for becoming stars and new legends in Night City." Vislow explained the company's plan, and then said seductively to Qingniao: "This commission is a screening. If your performance is outstanding enough, you will be able to receive the company's resources and training.

The company can provide all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment, as well as military prosthetics that you would never dare to think of, and as a price, you only need to build your reputation and become a new legend! "

"It sounds good, but..." After listening to Wislow's introduction, Qingniao felt a strong sense of déjà vu, which made her make a decision.

written request for leave

The author may be positive and his body temperature is 37.5. Although it is not serious, he still feels uncomfortable. I am not sure if I can code it out today.

Although I want to persevere, I may not be able to bear it, so don’t have expectations. I can only say that I will try my best.

May you stay away from illness and not fall into the arms of a loving father at Christmas.

Here is Seventeen who is already a little confused

Chapter 32 Legend?idol spokesperson

"Boss..." Mann on the side was hesitant to speak, while the rest of the Cyberpunk team, except for Sasha and Rebecca, looked a little moved.

This is not what Jade Bird expected. After all, the conditions offered by the other party are indeed quite generous. For the mercenaries of Night City, with the full support of a company, advanced weapons and military prosthetics can be used freely. This kind of The temptation is really hard to resist.

Except for Sasha, who has a grudge against the company, and Rebecca, a grumpy loli whose temperament directly hates the company, it is difficult for most people to refuse cooperation with the company.

Although everyone hates the company and feels that the company has taken away everything, the company dog ​​is also hated by gods and ghosts.

But if there is an opportunity to become a company dog, or a company dog ​​who lives a good life, most people will not refuse it.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be people like David's mother in Night City who desperately wanted to send her son into the company to get ahead.

But for Qingniao, this is really a lackluster temptation, and she can even see through the temptation and calculation behind it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not difficult to understand. It is nothing more than the way big companies used to find spokespersons for their products before time travel.

It's just that Military Technology produces arms, not civilian products, and the spokesperson it hires cannot be a big star or something.

How can celebrities and other top legendary mercenaries come forward to sell arms and provide practical and effective explanations?

When you, a big star, get a cool gun, you just go to the shooting range and shoot it a few times, complain about the excessive recoil, or try it out in a pre-arranged event or scene, so that people will think it is real at first glance.

But if it is a weapon used by top legendary mercenaries such as Morgan Blackhand and Adam Hammer, it will undoubtedly become the best-selling product on the market.

You only need to look at how many followers Johnny Silverhand still has today, how many fanatical and die-hard fans the Samurai band still has, and how many people in Night City paint their prosthetics black. .

That is to say, Arasaka is not very concerned about this business, and Adam Hammer's reputation is too bad. Otherwise, he would have to do a lot of work to bring goods to Arasaka.

Once you understand this, it is not difficult to understand the reasons behind why Military Technology issued this single escort commission.

Thinking of this, Qingniao looked at Weislow and asked him: "In addition to your order, how many similar commissions has Military Technology issued?"

"Wow, you are indeed extraordinary. Just as you thought, every director of the company received such a task, issuing an escort commission. The delivery location was all in Los Santos, and the first one to successfully deliver the goods was That group will be able to get the company's investment and favor." Wislow showed a surprised expression on his face, but he quickly admitted Jade Bird's guess, and said proudly: "As for the successful release of this The supervisor who is solely entrusted can get a promotion and the right to be responsible for the company's next major projects.

So I came to Rogge as soon as possible, because I knew that there were the best mercenaries in Night City, and Rogge recommended you to me, so please don't doubt the authenticity of this commission.

Because for me, this is also a matter related to my future. I can't use my future to trick you, can I?So don’t hesitate, this kind of win-win situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! "

The members of the Cyberpunk team on the side couldn't help but be surprised by Wislow's words. While thinking about what the company was going to do, they were really excited about this commission.

However, they did not urge him. On the one hand, it was because of the authority that Blue Bird had always established, and on the other hand, it was also because Mann gradually realized that this matter was not that simple.So he reminded the team members through his personal terminal and told them not to talk nonsense.

"Opportunities are indeed rare for ordinary mercenaries, but this also means that along the way we will inevitably be attacked by teams hired by other managers, or even be killed by other managers themselves." Jade Bird pointed out the most direct reason behind this threats and problems, and looked at Vislow and said: "It may be better if you are the director of other departments of military technology, but you are just a sales director, and the manpower and material resources you can use are incomparable to other directors. , so there is no doubt that we will face more challenges if we stand on your side.

Although I am not afraid of these challenges, it is obvious that the reward you gave me is not worth the trip.

Even if I say it a little harsher, you can be kidnapped by the scavengers. I am not optimistic that you can win in this kind of competition.

Even if I can deliver the goods safely and become the final winner, if others only need to kill you, everything you promised me will be empty words, right?

For the company, what they need is an idol and star who can bring goods to them. As for who this idol or star is, as long as he can listen to the company's instructions, it doesn't matter who it is, right?

So now, how are you going to protect my interests and your own interests?You don’t need to worry about whether I can win. Isn’t it because you came to Rogge because we have the best mercenaries in Night City here? "

Three questions in a row made Wislow's face turn ugly, but he had to admit that what Blue Bird said was true.

A sales director is indeed far inferior to those of R&D and security directors, and his status is not high among the many directors in the company. Although the sales department is very important to the company, military technology mostly takes the path of military supply. .

For a top arms company that supplies arms to most countries in the world, including the new United States, the sales on the market are just something to make the company's financial reports look better.It's not the foundation of the company.

Although I feel bad about the loss, I don't care much about it. As for a sales manager, he will naturally be replaced when he is no longer useful. If he dies, he will be dead.

After understanding this, the expression on Wislow's face showed unwillingness and anger, but he quickly suppressed his emotions, looked at Qingniao and asked in a low voice: "So your answer is to reject me. Proposal?"

"No, I can accept this commission. After all, weapons and equipment and military prosthetics that are not sold by military technology are still very tempting." At this time, Jade Bird gave an answer that was completely opposite to Weislow's judgment, and Additional additional conditions: "But considering the risks of this business... we have to add money."

Chapter 33 Qingnang battlefield medical module

After a period of verbal confrontation and bargaining, Qingniao got his wish from Wislow and got a satisfactory reward. The Cyberpunk team was stunned to understand what the art of language is, and why they are a bunch of local dogs. .

"Okay, the time that Wislow and I made is to leave in two weeks. Since Rogge's money has arrived, you can make good use of these two weeks." Jade Bird explained to Mann and others, she The voice also made everyone come back to their senses and listen to her arrangements: "Just now, Wislow gave an address. It is a place where he privately buys goods from inside Military Technology at low prices and sells them at high prices. Take the business card he gave and go Change the prosthetics and weapons on your body."

This is something the Cyberpunk team has been talking about for a long time, and now it can finally be implemented, which undoubtedly makes the whole team feel excited.

But what is strange is that Jade Bird specially added to them: "Don't buy too expensive things. This batch of equipment and weapons are only transitional equipment, and they will be replaced with better ones in the future."

Of course what Jade Bird said was that after activating the engineering module, she could provide the Cyberpunk team with high-quality weapons and equipment without spending a lot of money.

But Mann and others listened to the blue bird and told them not to rush to replace their valuable prosthetics and equipment. After they completed this escort commission, military technology would definitely give them better ones.

Fortunately, there was not much difference between the two. Mann and others just nodded to express their understanding and left.

The blue bird himself also returned to his residence after sitting for a while.

Now that the medical cabin has been delivered, the next thing Blue Bird needs to do is to activate its field medical module and light up the first option on its upgrade path.

The process of lighting up the battlefield medical module did not have any cool effects. It was just that after the blue bird activated the core upgrade function, it launched a hexagonal energy field composed of countless palm-sized hexagonal energy fields that enveloped the medical cabin, completely covering it. After becoming virtual, it was completely swallowed into the core of the blue bird.

At the same time, on the core interface that Qingniao could see, the activation and upgrade option of the Qingnang battlefield medical module also lit up, showing that it could be upgraded.

Although he wanted to make it more ceremonial, Qingniao still pressed the upgrade button without hesitation, without any unnecessary actions such as being anxious, excited, nervous, or performing dances to pray to gods and Buddhas.

After clicking it, the Qingnang battlefield medical module on the core interface immediately lit up and became available, and a medical interface also lit up.

But other than that, there are no other cool effects or any dramatic scenes.

"...What on earth am I expecting?" Qingniao patted his head to get rid of some unrealistic thoughts. Then he clicked on the medical interface and checked the functions of the field medical module.

Field medical care is different from ordinary medical care. Generally speaking, it mainly deals with some simple treatments on the battlefield. After stabilizing the condition of the wounded, it is convenient to transport them to the rear for further treatment.

Therefore, in the early days of battlefield medical treatment, it mainly focused on simple methods such as hemostasis, disinfection, and bandaging, and all dealt with traumatic injuries.

Treatment methods are also limited to conventional methods such as sprinkling styptic powder, analgesics, and simple bandaging and fixation. After treatment, most of the wounded need to be transported to rear field hospitals for further treatment.

However, with the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of battlefield medical conditions, more and more injuries and conditions can be treated on the battlefield.

Some routine minor operations such as debridement and suturing, removal of bullet fragments, and fracture fixation can already be included in the scope of battlefield medical care.

The battlefield medical module of Jade Bird is prepared for space wars. In addition to conventional battlefield medical content, it can also function as a field hospital when necessary, providing field surgical treatment, as well as more sci-fi amputation, Services such as prosthetic body implantation and the most exaggerated consciousness uploading.

Qingniao didn't find anything strange about the contents of conventional field medical and field surgery. After all, in space battles, it is very likely that there will be no way to send the wounded to the rear for a while, so temporary first aid treatment can only be performed on the landing craft.

Therefore, the landing craft has complete medical facilities and can perform a series of surgical treatments on the wounded, which is acceptable.

Contents such as amputation and prosthetic implantation, in Qingniao's view, are changes made to allow soldiers to regain their combat effectiveness in a short period of time when technology has developed to a certain extent. There is nothing to be confused about.

But the upload of this consciousness made Qingniao a little confused.

If her understanding is correct, this thing is roughly similar to the technology for producing Relic chips that Arasaka has been researching in the Cyberpunk 2077 game.

They are all technologies that digitize human thoughts and consciousness and then upload them to storage carriers, thereby getting rid of the constraints of the physical body.

But relatively speaking, Arasaka obtained Ott Cunningham's Soul Killer technology in 2020 and studied it for 50 years before producing a technically verified experimental product. What Arasaka has here is a complete set, even complete. Popularize practical technology.

The technical gap between the two is almost incalculable, which makes Jade Bird quite emotional and surprised by the power of the technology carried in its core.

However, after thinking about it seriously, Jade Bird felt that this technology was actually not too unusual. After all, the core of Jade Bird was the core of the Ship Girl, and the technology it carried included part of the Siren technology in addition to the Nantianmen Project.

The Sirens themselves are a group of mechanical beings who can change their bodies at will. Possessing consciousness transfer technology is not something particularly outrageous.

So Jade Bird didn't bother to study it in detail. He just carefully read the relevant text of this option and ignored it.

As for the application of this technology...according to the content of the text annotation, when a soldier dies from serious injuries, his consciousness will be uploaded in order to save his last life, and the body that cannot be cured will be discarded. .

Afterwards, the soldier whose consciousness has been uploaded will receive a new body, a prosthetic body composed entirely of prosthetics.

That is, the whole body is completely prosthetic.

"Is this going to be a new version of Ghost in the Shell? Or does this core still contain Pamesh's technology?" Blue Bird played with his wavy curls, with all kinds of complicated thoughts rolling through his mind.

But in the end, she didn't come up with a reason. She could only temporarily put aside her pursuit of the technology contained in the core, and instead thought about how this set of battlefield medical modules could play a role in her hands.
