From ship girl to machine god

Qingniao did not stop the retreat of these people. She just retracted her fist and looked at the woman in front of her waving the mantis knife at her with an interesting expression. She watched her move towards her at a speed that exceeded the reaction limit of ordinary people's naked eyes. He rushed over, and the two mantis knives in his hands flashed with cold light, already aimed at the blue bird's neck.

Behemoth, who was already moving on the other side, also collided with Qingniao. If Qingniao didn't respond, she would be slashed with a knife and then hit by a car, and then she would die.

But the blue bird didn't make any reaction, he just stood there and let the mantis knife in the woman's hand slash her neck.

"!" The woman's eyes widened and she looked at the two mantis knives on her arms in disbelief.

This is Arasaka's latest model of the Mantis Knife. Although it places a heavy load on the human body, its power is the best among all the Mantis Knives currently on the market.

And she also specially replaced the thermal cutting blade to make the blade even sharper and more capable of cutting.

Although the blade was hit by the blow from the blue bird just now, causing the thermal blade to be unable to light up, the sharpness of the blade itself is enough to cut off a little girl's head without any problem.

But now, in her eyes, the two swords that cut gold and iron were blocked by Qingniao's neck.

The sharp blade could not cut into the little girl's skin.

In fact, it is impossible to cut it in.

Although the Mantis Knife is very sharp and can cut metal when thermal cutting is turned on, it is sheer nonsense to cut the 50mm thick composite armor of a space battleship.

Even if Qingniao stood here and let her chop him for a whole day, the result he would get would only be a miss.

However, the heavy transport truck that hit from the other side did not intend to let the blue bird stand like this. Seeing that the woman failed to injure the blue bird, the driver stepped on the accelerator and planned to use the heavy transport truck to hit the blue bird.

Even if she can't be hit to death, she can still be knocked away!

With this idea in mind, the driver clapped his horn to remind the woman to get out of the way, and at the same time, he crashed straight into the blue bird.

then……

"Boom!" The front of the Beamon heavy-duty transport truck hit the blue bird firmly.

But it didn't have any effect, and it didn't even make the blue bird move.

On the contrary, the front of this car has a dent, and the blue bird is just embedded in this dent.

This is because the sprint distance is not enough. The car's kinetic energy is limited if the speed is not increased. Otherwise, the entire front of the car may be damaged.

As for how miserable it can be, just look at those large trucks that were disemboweled by ground piles, and you can understand that sometimes dump trucks are not omnipotent.

Obviously, this collision really shocked the two warring parties.

Whether it was the mercenary hanging on the car or the attacking wanderer, they involuntarily stopped their movements at this moment and looked at the little girl in front of them with a dumbfounded expression who was motionless after being hit by a car, doubting her. What kind of prosthetic body should be installed to be able to resist the impact of a vehicle with the body?

It has to be said that in this era, prosthetic technology is really powerful. It is not a particularly outrageous thing to survive being hit by a car. Some powerful ones can also resist being hit by a car, but they can't be as exaggerated as Jade Bird.

So her exaggerated performance was not too surprising.

But although everyone else was shocked and speechless, Rebecca, who was staying on the mound, was angry at the fact that the blue bird was hit by a car.

She pointed the ion launcher in her hand at Beamon's cab without hesitation. Just when she was about to fire, Jade Bird looked back at her and locked the weapon in her hand.

Chapter 52 Trophies

"Rebecca, this is a trophy, don't break it." Blue Bird released the weapon lock on Rebecca while comforting her: "I'm fine, come here and help me keep an eye on this prisoner first."

As Qingniao said this, her figure flickered, and she caught the woman using the Mantis Knife in her hand.

It's just that the name's condition is really bad at this time. In addition to the various injuries caused by the blue bird's punch before, both of her arms are now removed by the blue bird. Not only that, the various combat weapons implanted in her body are... The whole body was shut down by the blue bird.

Except for the necessary prosthetics to maintain physical condition, all other prosthetics on this woman's body, including her personal terminal and ICE firewall, were also offline.

As for the other mercenaries, they were basically the same. All the prosthetics were turned off by Blue Bird in an instant, and most of their combat effectiveness was lost.

The Rangers did not miss this great opportunity, but they were not bloodthirsty. Seeing that these mercenaries had lost their ability to resist, they just subdued them and did not directly kill anyone.

Of course, with Blue Bird here, they didn't dare to skip her to deal with these mercenaries.

They still remembered that the little girl in front of them, who looked extremely capable in combat, was also a mercenary in Night City, and she was the self-proclaimed "undisputed strongest" mercenary.

If the Rangers thought that this title was Jade Bird's bragging before, after seeing her defeat this elite mercenary team with such an understatement and almost no move, these Rangers already believed that the little mercenary team in front of them was Even if the girl is not the strongest, there is not much difference.

"According to the previously agreed distribution plan, this Beamon and the two vans belong to you, and the other things will be left alone." Qingniao looked at the leader of the homeless who came up to him with a nervous look on his face, and saw that he looked like he wanted to The leader of the Rangers, who was talking to himself but was shocked by his fighting power and whose legs were shaking, took the initiative to take over the distribution of the spoils: "As for these mercenaries, I hope to keep them alive for the time being and wait for my further treatment. Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem at all! Everything will be as you wish!" The leader of the Rangers no longer dared to have any objections in front of Jade Bird. He even felt that he had saved his life by being disrespectful to Jade Bird.

At this moment, facing Qingniao's expressionless face, he suddenly realized how terrifying a person who couldn't detect emotions and anger was.

Because you have no way of guessing whether the other party will pat you into a paste evenly distributed within two square meters in the next second.

Of course, although Qingniao can expand the area to twenty square meters and ensure that the thickness of the meat sauce spread does not exceed one thread, she actually does not have such a boring hobby.

On the contrary, for Blue Bird, she doesn't like to cause killing if she can.

Although ship girls are the embodiment of war machines, they are the embodiment of all human beings' beautiful yearnings. As a kind of heroic spirit in essence, some ship girls may be warlike, but there will never be ship girls who are bloodthirsty, or simply kill for the sake of killing. For fun.

The same is naturally true for Blue Bird. Even though she was once just an ordinary person, the characteristics and conduct of a ship girl still exist in her, and she will not become a person because of this power and the influence of being a terrifying erect ape. A depraved villain.

What's more, for the current Blue Bird, the wanderers are the ones she wants to win over, and it is even more impossible to do anything to them.

So due to the fear of the Rangers and the helplessness of the mercenaries, these mercenaries and their cars were moved by the Rangers to the back of the mound where the Rangers parked their cars.

After temporarily taking all the mercenaries into custody, the leader of the Rangers approached Qingniao and asked her, "Do you want to continue to set up ambush? According to the information you provided, there should be other mercenary teams, right?"

The leader of the Rangers actually felt quite complicated at the moment. Although it was true that he had gained a lot this time, the loss of family members was also real.

Although he had been mentally prepared to die before the war started, seeing his companions who had been with him day and night die like this, with their heads and body parts missing, still made the leader of the Rangers feel very heartbroken.

The woman using the Mantis Knife killed five Rangers in one encounter. Adding in the injured during the fierce battle between the two sides, this Ranger convoy of only a few dozen people could be said to have lost more than half of its combat effectiveness. .

But from the battle just now, he clearly realized one thing, that is, the Blue Bird did not need the combat power of the Rangers at all.

For Blue Bird, she can easily kill everyone by herself, and the Ranger's combat power is not worth mentioning to her.

Not to mention that she also gave the most valuable spoils of this battle to her own side, which made the leader of the Rangers even more worried about whether the blue bird had other purposes.

"That's right, but there's no need to continue to set up an ambush." ​​Blue Bird didn't care what the leader of the wanderers was thinking, nor did he care much about his attitude. He just explained in a very calm way: "This ambush location can no longer be used. , although the battle just now did not last long, the traces left behind are still too obvious, so there is no way to ambush other teams."

Having said this, Qingniao glanced at the captured mercenaries and injured wanderers, shook his head and said: "And so many wounded and captives also require energy to deal with. Even if you still have the strength to fight, you will have to fight again. I'm afraid your team is reaching its limit, right?"

Blue Bird obviously understood the current state of the Rangers. They no longer have enough strength to fight against the elite mercenaries of Night City again.

"So let's do this, let your people receive treatment, pick out the loot and send it to the town ahead. I will wait for my companions there." Qingniao explained to the leader of the wanderers again, and at the same time also said to these captured people The mercenary made a decision: "As for these prisoners, if you give up the mission, I will leave you a way to survive. If you still want to continue with this commission, then I will have to keep you here."

Blue Bird just said this, then turned and walked towards the captured Behemoth.

Although the front of the car was damaged, the body of the car was not seriously damaged. Jade Bird wanted to see the goods escorted by this mercenary team.

The cyberpunk team's own box cannot be opened, so the box of this mercenary team can just satisfy the curiosity of the blue bird.

Naturally, her curiosity was quickly satisfied. The box that was delivered to Qingniao was opened by her after handling it. It was not empty, but contained a document and a memory chip.

Chapter 53 Biochemical Technology

As the world's largest military equipment production supplier and military contractor, Military Technology's products can be said to be all-encompassing.

From battleship and aircraft carrier kicks to military boots, water bottles and combat uniforms, you can find what you need in the product catalog of Military Technology.

However, to ordinary people, military technology is best known for its wide variety of affordable small arms.

As for other military technology, such as heavy weapons and large military vehicles, they rarely appear in front of ordinary people. After all, these are military supplies and are not so easy to see.

In addition, as a giant multinational company, Military Technology is also constantly developing new products and broadening its product line. This is undoubtedly an experiment and exploration of its own combat methods and ideas by the new US federal army behind it.

The document before Jade Bird was an experimental plan involving genetic and biochemical modification of animals and human bodies to create more powerful biochemical soldiers and combat animals.

"Biochemical transformation? I didn't expect military technology to be involved in this aspect of transformation." Jade Bird looked at the document and at the same time read the contents of the file in the memory chip.

Of course, this important memory chip has complex encryption methods, and it will be automatically destroyed once it is forcibly read.

But this kind of thing is really worthless to Qingniao.

At this time, the core of the ship girl, which had not shown its presence for a long time, suddenly popped up a prompt: "The new technology 'primary biochemical transformation' 'primary gene compilation' has been detected. Is it included? After inclusion, the medical module can unlock the gene compilation and treatment functions. , and turn on the biochemical modification function."

"Introduce the new features." Blue Bird conveyed the idea to his core.

This time, her core was not that it couldn't be beaten with three sticks, but that it showed detailed information about genetic compilation, treatment, and biochemical transformation.

To put it simply, the former allows Jade Bird to perform treatment and operations at the genetic level, and simply modify and compile biological genes. This can be used to treat relatively traditional treatments such as congenital genetic diseases, genetic mutations, and genetic collapse caused by excessive radiation. Medically speaking, there is no cure for an incurable disease.

Bluebirds can also be genetically modified artificially through gene editing technology, thereby achieving genetic mutations that would take a long time to achieve in the natural environment.

That is to create so-called new humans, or new subspecies of species.

After Jade Bird confirmed the inclusion of these two technologies, there were new options under her medical module interface, which could enhance or transform the human body through genetic compilation.

It includes a series of items such as improving body strength, nerve response, and biological activity. It can be said that if Blue Bird wants to, it may not be able to create a human demigod like Astartes, but it can make a Spartan V or the same model from the American team Still not a big problem.

As for biochemical modification, it is very familiar to Qingniao. After all, do you want to know about the protective umbrella?

Simple genetic compilation may not be able to create anything too outrageous, but with biochemical modification technology, Jade Bird can really make a piece of cake to create a youth version of the Astartes.

Of course, the premise is that she has enough knowledge to support her in doing such a thing.

You must know that this is not just adding points to attributes in the game. Just stack them without thinking. Not to mention that genes have their own carrying limits. The adaptation between different genes and how to ensure the stability of genes require considerable professional knowledge to support them. .

Randomly stacking and matching genes will only create garbage with collapsed genes, or simply create biochemical monsters that you cannot control.

This is even more true for biochemical transformation. Although the monsters in Resident Evil are basically no longer scientific, the abuse of biochemical technology may indeed cause the kind of horrific consequences seen in games and film and television works.

So these two technologies are indeed useful, but on the one hand, they are only regarded as elementary technologies by the core. On the other hand, Jade Bird itself does not have a knowledge base in this area. Even if there are core and medical modules that simplify related operations into options, it will not work. It's hard for the Blue Bird to actually create anything of practical value.

Unless the technical level can be upgraded, or a complete transformation design plan can be obtained, it is considered a dragon-slaying skill and can only be used for show.

Fortunately, the document that Jade Bird obtained was a transformation plan for the biochemical warrior. The memory chip contained a complete set of experimental records and related transformation processes. These things indeed illuminated the blue bird's vision of a biochemical warrior called "Military Technology Experiment II Type Biochemical Warrior." Renovation" option.

Qingniao shook his head indifferently. After recording all the information, he crushed the memory chip and burned the file records.

Although these technologies can be regarded as advancements in human science and technology, in Qingniao's view, they are also opening the door to taboos.

If it were an era in the past when there were still moral and ethical constraints, and the state acted as a deterrent, perhaps the technology would not have been abused.

But in today’s world where corporate giants have the final say, ethics?Morality?The number one thing they really care about is making the company benefit. As for the rest...

How many inhumane things have the company done?

As for using living people for experiments, do you think that besides the daily lottery of dead people in Night City, how many people are missing and captured by the company to be used as test subjects?

Therefore, it is better to destroy this kind of thing. Cyberpunk is bad enough, but if there is another biohazard that is ignored, it will simply make people bald.

If it really gets to that point, Blue Bird can only summon its true body, and then kick the ground in low-Earth orbit.

But with the technological level of the cyberpunk world that has colonized Mars, Jade Bird is not sure that she will be safe and have advantages in space.
