From ship girl to machine god

Maybe it’s time to consider upgrading the hull?Qingniao looked up at the sky. It was still filled with yellow sand, but her vision could see through the yellow sand and see the space station in low-Earth orbit.

This is not a space station built by the country for scientific experiments and space exploration before time travel, but an asset belonging to the company.

The most famous one is the Crystal Palace, which you can often see advertisements for in Night City. It is the most luxurious place in the true sense, and only the top rich can afford the extravagant consumption in that place.

As for the Arasaka Space Station where V is located in the ending of Game Company Dog, it is a medical space station controlled by the Arasaka Group. It is mainly engaged in cutting-edge medical research and providing the highest level of human medical services to patients.

According to Arasaka himself, there is currently no disease on earth that Arasaka’s medical team cannot solve.

But in the eyes of the blue bird, she just wants to knock them all down, because the clean space cannot tolerate these garbage.

Chapter 54 Alpha

"Boss, what are you going to do with these prisoners?" When Blue Bird looked up at the sky, Rebecca came to her side and asked her what to do with the captured mercenaries.

Although she was a little angry that they dared to attack Blue Bird, Rebecca had no hatred towards these mercenaries.

In the City of Night, it is normal for two teams of mercenaries to have conflicts over commissions. Each is his own master, and there is no need to talk about hatred or enmity.

Even if they were still drawing guns and shooting each other before, they could still drink together afterwards.

After all, this is what they do as mercenaries. If they bring too much personal grudges into it, such mercenaries will not survive long.

Mercenaries are in the business of hanging their heads on their waistbands. If they fight others just because of a conflict in the mission, that would be too disrespectful of their own lives.

Of course, if a close friend or relative dies, it is reasonable to avenge them, but usually it will only be an individual behavior and will not rise to the entire mercenary team.

So Rebecca had no personal feelings towards these captured mercenaries, she was just curious about what Blue Bird would do with them.

Qingniao withdrew her gaze from looking up at the sky, and the ultra-long-range vision used to observe the low-Earth orbit space station also switched back to normal vision, but she did not adjust to the change in her eyes caused by staring into space just now.

This deep gaze immediately made Rebecca standing next to her and the mercenaries who were swept by her gaze feel a great sense of oppression.

Qingniao put his hand on Rebecca's head and rubbed it. Then he came to these mercenaries. He still looked at them with a three-loli face and asked: "Who is the director of military technology who hired you?" ?What did he ask you to do?"

"It's the director of the Military Science and Technology Research and Development Department. He said that there is an important cargo shipped to Los Santos." Although mercenaries generally do not betray their employers, the spirit of these captured mercenaries has been defeated by the exaggerated combat power of Blue Bird. Of course they said everything they could if they didn't want to die when faced with her inquiry.

Another mercenary on the side did not forget to add: "The woman with the mantis knife is not one of ours, she was sent by the supervisor to be responsible for the escort. She killed one of your people and it has nothing to do with us!"

After hearing what the mercenary said, Qingniao gently placed his little hand on his head: "It is not good to be greedy for life and afraid of death."

The moment Qingniao put his hand on his head, the mercenary was so frightened that he peed.

This undoubtedly made Qingniao very unhappy, so he grabbed his head, picked him up, and threw him aside to prevent something unsightly from staining his eyes.

Of course, Qingniao didn't kill anyone, and the force he used was only enough to pick up the head of the mercenary who was so scared that he wet his pants and threw him out.

As long as he wasn't unlucky and hit his head with a rock, his life would basically not be in danger.

After seeing Qingniao's attitude, the remaining mercenaries became silent and did not dare to say anything more to beg for mercy.

However, Jade Bird's interest in them ended here. He simply asked about the specific situation, hacked their personal terminals, read the records in the mercenaries' personal terminals, and compared them with no discrepancies, then let the wanderers Let them go.

After all, these were just mercenaries hired at a high price by the director of the military technology R&D department. They didn't even know the military technology plan behind it. The director of the R&D department who hired them had no intention of flattering them.

The woman who was really planned to be nurtured by the supervisor to become a new legend was the woman who was knocked down by the blue bird.

Because she was the test subject recorded in the data that Blue Bird had read in the memory chip before, and she was also the cargo that these mercenaries really wanted to transport.

"Do you know your identity?" Qingniao came to the woman who had turned off her whole body combat prosthetic body and asked her.

According to the identity information about this woman that Blue Bird read from the chip, she was an orphan raised by military technology. She had been instilled with the idea of ​​being loyal to military technology since she was a child, and she underwent full-body transformation as a test subject for the biochemical transformation warrior project.

Even though her hands have been replaced with mantis knives, she also has many combat prosthetics on her body, but most of those combat prostheses are gland control and neural enhancement prostheses, which are mainly used to control the biochemical glands implanted in her body, and Assist in combat.

The degree of her prosthetic transformation is not high. Except for the implants, hands, and specially strengthened bones, most of her body is still flesh.

Of course, these so-called "bodies" have been enhanced by biochemical technology. In terms of physical fitness alone, this woman is twice as strong as an ordinary person.

This undoubtedly aroused Jade Bird's interest greatly. After all, the document specifically stated that the woman was mentally unstable, so she was transported as cargo to the Military Technology Branch in Los Santos.

As for whether she will be used as experimental material and consumed in the laboratory, or whether she will continue to be used as a sharp knife after being brainwashed by military technology, it all depends on her own luck.

But now, it is obviously impossible for Qingniao to let her go back to military technology.

If she has enough hatred for military technology and companies, Jade Bird intends to put her to good use.

"I know, I am a test subject for the biochemical modification warrior project of military technology." The woman's mood is very stable at this time. I don't know whether it is the credit of the still-operating mood stabilizer or her own emotional control, but she is indeed very calm now. is talking to the bluebird.

Qingniao nodded with satisfaction. Since he was mentally clear and stable and had a good attitude, he had the foundation for communication.

So Jade Bird asked another question: "What do you think of military technology? Do you want to take revenge on the company?"

"I don't know. Although the company used me for experiments, the education I received since childhood was to obey the company and be loyal to the company, and everything I have now is given by the company." The woman seemed to have noticed that Jade Bird was not There was no malice, so I was willing to say a few more words: "But most of my companions in the same batch died in the transformation experiment, which made me shaken, and I saw too many people while performing tasks for the company. Darkness and corporate shady things.

These really make me want to leave the company, but... I really don't know what attitude I should take towards the company, and I don't think I can fight against the company.

Only those who understand the company can understand how powerful they are. Individual power cannot resist these behemoths at all. "

"Really? It's just that you didn't find the right method." Qingniao refuted the woman, and then asked the final question: "Your name."

"I have no name, only a codename, Alpha." Alpha looked at the blue bird and said his name.

Chapter 55 New Member Reservation

The inability of an individual to stand up to a company is not a sign of lack of confidence, but a fact.

Not to mention military technology or the world's top super giants like Arasaka, it's just the Ye Company in Night City. Although it doesn't seem to be prominent in the game, even the Night City that he built has been taken over by Arasaka and Military technology is controlled and fought for, but Ye's Company still firmly controls many lifelines such as Night City's subway and light rail, power stations, network relay stations, water resources facilities, and sewer systems.

In the game plot, the mayoral candidate who commissioned V to investigate the death of the previous mayor was trained by Ye's company, and was about to be successfully elected as the new mayor.

It can be seen that even if the Ye clan is not on the same level as international giants like Arasaka, they are so terrifying. If you want to challenge them, one person's strength is really not enough.

Although V can indeed destroy Arasaka's rule in Night City in the game plot, that is not actually V's credit, but because Arasaka Saburo, the leader who controlled Arasaka, died unexpectedly, and his successor Arasaka Yorinobu created it from within. Chaos destroyed Arasaka's rule.

But even so, it only affected Arasaka's power in the United States, and Japan, which is really Arasaka's base camp, was not affected.

And in order to achieve this, Arasaka Yorinobu has been working hard since 2020. It took half a century of hard work to achieve this after Saburo Arasaka's death, which shows how difficult it is to resist the company.

As for Alpha's current situation, it is actually somewhat similar to the combination of David, who has been confirmed to have the suitability of a prosthetic King Kong, and Lucy, who is constantly being hunted by Arasaka.

The company discovered the value in you, so it tested the latest technology on you. If you choose to escape, you will face the company's endless pursuit.

Alpha's body was implanted with surveillance prostheses using military technology, as well as a series of monitoring means such as locators and transmitters. It can be said that her every move is under the surveillance of the company.

In fact, Lucy is the same, except that she is a hacker and can hack the locators and other things on her body by herself.

But even so, Lucy has been hunted by Arasaka agents.

Alpha is even worse than Lucy. Lucy is just a hacker and is relatively easy to get rid of the company's control. Alpha is a combatant and an experimental biochemical modification. Her body requires a large amount of special drugs to maintain.

These drugs can be used to stabilize her physical condition, regulate hormone levels, and keep her in good fighting condition.

Once you stop taking the drug, although it is not the same as becoming addicted, the consequences of hormonal disorders in the body are much worse than drug addiction.

The biochemical organs throughout her body will stop working, and some of the hormones will have toxic side effects on the body, not to mention body function disorders and the body's own rejection reaction to the biochemical organs.

It can be said that if these problems are not handled well, they can kill her.

However, these are insignificant compared with freedom.

For Alpha, as long as she can get rid of the company's control over herself and gain true freedom, even if it is only for a day, even if she escapes, she will definitely die. She would rather die as a free individual than as a person under the control of the company. The test subject is alive.

"I burned the monitoring equipment in your body. Now that the conditions are limited, I can only do so much. When I return to Night City, I will help you take those things out." Qingniao spent a few seconds burning it. The various monitoring implants implanted by military technology in Alpha's body also rewritten the operating systems of the combat prosthetics that he had turned off, but did not unlock the blockade of these prosthetics.

After doing this, Blue Bird said to Alpha: "I believe what you said for the time being, but I still need time to verify whether what you said is true, so I cannot restore your combat effectiveness."

"I understand, thank you for your help. It has helped me a lot now." Alpha did not complain about anything, but thanked the blue bird seriously.

According to her original plan, she wanted to find an opportunity to escape on the way to Los Santos, but Alpha did not expect that before she could find a chance to escape, she would encounter the blue bird.

At the moment, she doesn't know where to go. The freedom she has always dreamed of seems to be within easy reach, which makes her feel unreal confusion and misplaced loss.

In fact, it’s understandable. It’s like you’ve liked the goddess for a long time and planned a romantic way to express your love. You’ve booked a restaurant, bought movie tickets and 99 roses, but you just have to make the final move the next day. At night, if the goddess washes herself and lies on your bed, it means that she is already in your shape, which most people will find unreal.

At this moment, Alpha is the innocent virgin who watches the goddess pat the bed to make you go faster. But relatively speaking, she still has a long way to go before she can achieve the freedom she wants, but at least for Alpha, she has gotten rid of control. The company that controls her life.

"Boss, what are you going to do with this woman and the others?" Rebecca saw that Jade Bird seemed to have finished asking her questions, so she hurriedly asked her.

"The mercenaries can be released as soon as they are brought to the town. That's all they are anyway. With their little fighting power, even if they want to cause trouble for us in the future, they can be easily shot to death. There is no need to care." Qingniao behaved very casually. , she didn’t care about these mercenaries, until Alpha made her want to recruit: “As for that woman, bring her back to Night City, and after I solve her problem, consider recruiting her to join. I think She’ll be a good one.”

Hearing what Jade Bird said, Rebecca thought for a while and nodded. Indeed, with the opponent's strength, if she hadn't encountered Jade Bird, I'm afraid the few manpower ambushed this time would not be enough for her to kill him alone.

Even if Rebecca had new equipment, if her reaction speed couldn't keep up, she wouldn't be able to fight against this woman named Alpha.

After all, Si'an Westan is too foul. If you can't keep up with your reaction speed, you won't be able to fight this cheating monster.

Thinking of this, Rebecca couldn't help but nodded: "Mann has always wanted a Sianwistan. If she can join, Mann will definitely be happy."

"Oh? Mann wants Si'an Westan?" Jade Bird didn't expect that the big man Mann would want this kind of equipment that didn't quite match his style, but he didn't think there was anything wrong and just touched it. Chin said: "In that case, let me help him make an equipment with the same effect."

Chapter 56 Cure Alpha

Afterwards, Bluebird and Rebecca, with the help of the wanderers, brought the captured mercenaries and Alpha to a town not far from them.

The captured mercenary Qingniao released them all with a wave of his hand, and the wanderers took their trophies and left after exchanging contact information with Qingniao.

"Boss, are we waiting here for the boss and the others to come?" Rebecca looked at the pile of trophies piled aside and asked Jade Bird uncertainly: "I just contacted the boss and he said it might take a while. We arrived, we encountered some trouble on the way."

Hearing what Rebecca said, Qingniao frowned slightly and asked Rebecca: "Trouble? What trouble? Can they solve it?"

"Someone had the same idea as us and chose the ambush location you gave up before to ambush the boss and the others, but the boss said they could deal with it." Rebecca briefly explained the situation without giving a detailed explanation: "The boss said he would resolve the battle as soon as possible, and he would probably be able to join us before sunset."

The blue bird looked up at the sky. The wind and sand had further weakened, and the sky gradually became blue.

"What time is it now?" Jade Bird asked Rebecca. Although as a ship, tools such as navigation clocks are standard, but Jade Bird doesn't like to use those parts of the body that belong to ships and machinery. .

It has nothing to do with her strength or status, nor her humanity and self-awareness, it's just a simple dislike.

Blue Bird has a clear understanding of herself. She is a human being, but she became a ship girl because of time travel. What she has changed is only her body, but her soul and self-awareness have not changed.

Although the character will be affected by the essence of the ship girl, it is only an influence on some small things and will not change Ao Niao's self-perception.

And she didn't want to use the mechanical parts of her body too much because it would make her feel less like a human being.

Although she gained great power after becoming a ship girl and accepted her current identity, Ao Niao was not used to the things that came after becoming a ship girl.

She still thinks of herself as a human being deep down, and using those mechanical parts makes her feel like she's not.

Maybe in the future the blue bird will gradually get used to all this and completely accept his identity, but that will be a long time later.

Now, Qingniao just wants to keep the human part of himself.
