From ship girl to machine god

There was no reason for Mia to be so gaffey, because what Blue Bird showed her was the conceptual design of a small anti-gravity engine that could be installed on the Peregrine Falcon attack drone.

Anti-gravity technology has appeared in the cyberpunk world, and the prosthetic King Kong that appeared in the plot of Edgewalker is equipped with gravity technology.

But this is only a conceptual technology, and it has not been able to produce products that can be used in practical applications. Even the prosthetic King Kong is just an experimental external prosthetic body for testing, unlike the one made by Blue Bird. The perfect anti-gravity engine technology that can be used directly is infinitely different.

As the director of the Special Research Department of Military Technology, Mia certainly knows the value of this technology, and Military Technology itself has also invested in this area, but so far it has not been able to achieve many practical results in this area.

Therefore, once this design is obtained, even if there is no core technology, just this design drawing will allow military technology to develop a practical anti-gravity engine, thereby opening up a new product line and opening up a new blue ocean market.

It can even be said that a new giant company can be cultivated just based on this anti-gravity technology.

And now, something worth so much was placed in front of her.

"The power behind me? I think you misunderstood, this is just a deal." Mia's question was too straightforward. Of course, Qingniao understood her thoughts instantly, but she didn't explain too much, just directly I skipped this question and got to the point: "Military Technology wants to take back Night City from Arasaka, and I don't really like those guys in Arasaka who are living a good life, so we have a basis for cooperation, right? "

Hearing what Ao Niao said, Mia quickly stabilized her mind. She placed Ao Niao's data pad on the table and asked her, "So is your target Arasaka or Night City?"

"The first target is of course the City of Night. It would be better if Arasaka could suffer some losses or even draw some blood in the process. This is in everyone's interest, right?" Bluebird is not playing tricks. , directly prescribed the temptation of Hongguoguo to Mia.

Faced with the conditions for Blue Bird to be released, Mia nodded after thinking for a moment and said: "Indeed, our military technology does not want to see Arasaka continue to extend their power to North America. The Japanese power has already expanded enough. It would be just fine for them to stay on that island.”

"Then we have reached a preliminary consensus." Qingniao nodded with satisfaction, picked up the cup containing only lemonade on the table, and gestured towards Mia.

Seeing this, Mia also picked up the cup and clinked it with Qingniao, replacing the wine with water to celebrate the cooperation.

Of course, this is just a meaningless ceremony, just like all armistices are designed to tear it up. When the person who signed the agreement abides by it, it is an extremely sacred agreement, but when the person who signed the agreement no longer abides by it, When it's old, it's a piece of waste paper that's too big to wipe your butt.

However, when the interests of both parties are consistent, the cooperation agreement reached, even without any constraints, will be more effective than anything else.

Therefore, until Arasaka's forces are expelled from Night City, Bluebird can treat military technology as a partner.

Of course, defense is also indispensable. After all, military technology is not a trustworthy man, but a giant company that is exactly the same as Arasaka. Even the Angsa people are more cruel and direct than the Japanese.

For Qingniao, they will all be the ones she needs to defeat in the future.

It's just that now we can carry out a wave of cooperation and get enough benefits and benefits from military technology to develop ourselves, and then it can come back to bite us.

Thinking of this, Qingniao put down his cup and asked Mia: "In exchange for this design drawing, can you help me get [-] tons of shipbuilding steel? Of course, more would be better. I have some personal needs that require this kind of steel." Material."

"Shipbuilding steel? What do you want that for?" Mia asked casually, but then nodded and said: "If you need shipbuilding, Military Technology also has this business and can provide you with services at any time.

If you just need shipbuilding steel, there should be a batch of inventory in the military technology warehouse in Los Santos, totaling about more than 1000 tons, which can be regarded as a gift from our cooperation. "

Chapter 62 Rebecca’s little thoughts

In the end, the meal cost more than 5000 euros for three people.

For Qingniao, this was just a dinner party. The chef's skill was impeccable, but it didn't surprise her.

But in Rebecca's opinion, this was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.

After all, as a mercenary from the bottom of Night City, she could not even imagine eating truly pure and natural food, let alone French food in serious high-end restaurants. An extremely luxurious thing.

It can almost be said that throughout the entire meal, Rebecca was so shocked that she was speechless and didn't know what to do.

As for table manners, let alone table manners. Obviously, you can't expect Rebecca, who has never read a book or had a serious restaurant experience, to understand what table manners are.

Fortunately, Jade Bird was quite familiar with this, so he had an idea and wrote a small program and sent it to Rebecca's terminal. Through the program, he controlled Rebecca's movements and gave prompts, so that she didn't make any jokes.

When Jade Bird took Rebecca away and planned to join Mann and the others, Rebecca asked Jade Bird out of curiosity: "Boss, can this program be used to assist in combat?"

"Assistant in combat? Why do you have such an idea?" Jade Bird didn't react and didn't quite understand what Rebecca meant.

"Uh... I see that this program you sent me, boss, can assist in completing actions. Can it help me aim during battle, or improve my aiming reaction speed?" Although Rebecca has not read any books, But my mind still moves very quickly. After all, I am still a child, and I have many ideas in my mind. Some of them may be out of tune, but some of them are worth trying.

Qingniao was a little surprised when he heard Rebecca's words, but he also felt a sense of enlightenment.

Isn't what Rebecca is talking about turning what was originally just an ordinary action auxiliary program into a combat auxiliary program?

This is a technology that is not difficult to achieve in the cyberpunk world, and its most direct manifestation and practical product is the sex partner chip.

In the game plot, when V and Judy liberated Genting, the two sex dolls rewritten the behavioral model of the sex doll chip when Judy rewritten the original module of reading customer needs to match the customer's behavior into The combat module uses V as a template, thus transforming two powerless sex dolls into elite thugs with considerable strength in one fell swoop.

It's just that the behavior module of the sex partner chip requires the user to let go of themselves and let their body cooperate with the chip, and the program written by Jade Bird only uses an auxiliary prompt to correct Rebecca's movements.

To put it more bluntly, the sex partner chip is the automatic mode in the game, the one that helps you go through all the processes with just one click.

The Jade Bird applet is more similar to the auxiliary mode or one-click macro group. Rebecca still has to issue the command herself, and the program is only responsible for the actions required to complete the command.

Just like this meal, the sex partner chip is eaten directly from the beginning to the end without stopping. There can be no pauses or other actions in the process.

But Jade Bird’s mini program requires Rebecca to come up with her own ideas about what she wants to eat, when to take a break, and when to drink some wine. The program will be responsible for telling her what kind of table manners need to be used for these ideas and what details need to be paid attention to. Finally assist her in completing these actions.

This program is just a temporary thing written by Jade Bird, and there is nothing special about it.

However, after Rebecca proposed this idea, Qingniao instantly felt that this could indeed be used as a combat auxiliary program to enhance the user's combat effectiveness.

"It's not difficult to achieve the function you mentioned, but to implement combat assistance, there are too many things to be calculated, and it is not something that a simple small program can handle." Jade Bird answered Rebecca's question, At the same time, he also explained and explained to her: "For example, although I can do battlefield environment analysis and combat module data collection, it still takes some time.

And more importantly, the small program I sent you is supported by the computing power of your personal terminal. If it is just a small thing like eating, there is no problem, but if it is used for fighting, the computing power of your personal terminal It is not enough, so it is better to make it into a chip or a prosthetic body for use. "

"Ah? Do you want to make it into a prosthetic body? Wouldn't that be troublesome?" Rebecca suddenly looked a little frustrated. After all, she knew very well how expensive a prosthetic body was.

Although she didn't understand how much it would cost to develop a new prosthetic body, Rebecca also understood that it was not something that could be made just by doing it, and she suddenly felt frustrated that her expectations had been disappointed.

Qingniao looked at Rebecca's disappointed look, smiled and rubbed her little head, and then continued: "It's just a plug-in, a very simple thing. The main thing is to solve the problem of computing power, otherwise it can be written directly into a program it is also fine.

But you don’t want this. I will solve these problems when I return to Night City. By then, all of you can put on new prosthetics and equipment. "

What Qingniao said were all things she had promised before, and she was fulfilling them bit by bit.

If Mann and everyone in the Cyberpunk team once thought that Jade Bird was trying to trick them, now they all feel that the promises made by Jade Bird will definitely be fulfilled.

So Rebecca was convinced of what Jade Bird said. She nodded and said nothing more. She followed Jade Bird obediently and walked with her on the streets of Los Santos at night.

When they came out of the restaurant just now, Mia naturally planned to give them a ride, but Jade Bird refused the offer and planned to visit Los Santos.

Although the streets of Los Santos at night are not much better than the Night City, it is meaningless to Blue Bird and Rebecca. The manpower and force of the street gangs are not enough to challenge Blue Bird, even Rebecca Cards are no longer taken seriously.

The only troublesome thing is that the distance is a bit far and it takes time to walk.

But for Rebecca, being able to have some alone time with the blue bird was a joy for her, and she even wished the road was a little longer.

In this way, she would have more time to stay with the blue bird, and she would be the only one with the blue bird.

Rebecca liked this feeling very much, because it made her feel like the blue bird was the only one around her.

And she can also feel that Qingniao seems to have a special regard for her, whether she is the first to get a customized weapon from Qingniao, or Qingniao takes her out for dinner.

All these allowed Rebecca to feel the special treatment given to her by Blue Bird.

Rebecca didn't understand why Jade Bird treated her like this, but she had made up her mind that she would give everything for Jade Bird.

Because Rebecca could clearly feel that no matter what the blue bird's purpose was, she was really good to her.

Chapter 63 Blue Bird’s Etiquette and Virtue

It was almost late at night when Bluebird brought Rebecca, Mann and others together.

Walking back along the way, Qingniao and Rebecca also saw the "liveliness" of Los Santos at night.

To use a funny saying, "the local gangs are too rude", so Jade Bird had to tell them what is the polite way to treat others.

As a country that came from a country with thousands of years of etiquette before time travel, Qingniao very well told these local gangs what etiquette is, what virtue is, and what it means to convince people with reason and persuasion with virtue.

Therefore, when Mann and the others saw the blue bird, there were two more big sticks in her hands, one with the word "Li" engraved on it, and the other with the word "德" engraved on it, and they were stained Filled with the repentant blood of those local gang members.

"Ah, boss, is this your new hobby?" Pila looked at the two big sticks in Blue Bird's hands, and Rebecca, who was following Blue Bird and fighting another big stick with the word "Benevolence" engraved on it, I feel like my brain is shut down at the moment.

As for Blue Bird, everyone in the Cyberpunk team is very aware of her terror.

She can blast through a wall with her bare hands, and without using any implants or prosthetics to strengthen her, she can pin down a cybernetic equipped with the most powerful military prosthetics to the ground and beat him up. When will she need weapons?

Or to put it another way, what kind of enemy deserves the use of a weapon that can turn people into minced meat with one punch?

Therefore, it could only be that Qingniao got interested and wanted to play something different, which could explain why she took two big sticks and used them as weapons.

And if you look closely, you will find that both the big stick in the blue bird's hand and the one being carried by Rebecca reveal a shoddy feel.

It's like seeing a street lamp on the roadside, breaking the lamp post into three pieces and using it as a stick.

As for the "benevolence", "propriety" and "virtue" mentioned above, it can only be said to be the bad taste of the blue bird.

"You said this, we encountered a local gang fight on the way back. We didn't intend to intervene at first, but they took the initiative to attack us." Qingniao weighed the "Li" and "De" in his hand and threw them away I gave it to Pila and watched him catch it hurriedly before continuing: "So I had no choice but to reason with them, convince them with 'propriety' and 'virtue', and then use 'benevolence' to forgive them. "

"Uh..." Looking at the three big sticks stained with blood, how could everyone not think that the "propriety" and "morality" mentioned by Jade Bird to persuade the local gangs are persuasion in the physical sense?

Then Mann coughed slightly, breaking everyone's awkwardness, and asked Qingniao softly: "Boss, are you in a good mood today?"

"Huh? Did I show it so obviously?" Qingniao touched his face, then propped up the corners of his mouth with two fingers, revealing a "smile" of nothing.

"Because boss, you usually behave very...I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, a normal boss wouldn't have fun like this." Mann scratched his face, not knowing how to deal with this look. bluebird.

But he actually doesn't care too much. For Mann, he only needs to know that Jade Bird is his boss. He needs to complete the tasks assigned by Jade Bird and do what she asks him to do. As for the other things, it doesn't really matter.

Qingniao looked at Mann's appearance and finally laughed this time: "I just drank a little bit today, so I'm in a better mood."

After saying that, Qingniao adjusted his expression, and then said to everyone: "Okay, this commission has been completed. Have a good night's rest tonight, and we will return to Night City tomorrow. If you want to relax and go to the city If you want to play, I can only let you endure it for a while. You can play as much as you want when you return to Night City, and I will pay for all the expenses."

"Thank you, boss. Then you can rest early." Mann nodded and took the others to rest without saying anything else.

Even Rebekah was dragged away by Pyrrha, not leaving her to disturb the blue bird's rest.

Although Rebecca was a little dissatisfied, she and her brother left together.

Qingniao looked at the people leaving, with a real smile on his lips this time.

But she didn't say much. After all, she wasn't a sentimental person.

The place Mann and others were looking for was a motel. For them, it was just a place to rest. Naturally, they could not choose any particularly luxurious or luxurious place. Having a bed to sleep on was enough for these mercenaries. enough.

Motels are already a kind of culture in the United States. Whether in the cyberpunk world or the world before The Blue Bird Time Travel, as a country on wheels, Americans have always ranked first in the world in terms of car ownership. Various industries and cultures related to automobiles naturally also flourish.

There are countless places like motels and drive-in theaters.

It's just that Night City, as the city with the worst security in the United States, is really bad in some aspects, so that most places like motels and drive-in theaters are not able to open.

But Los Santos is different. On the one hand, the city is large enough and has enough people flow. After the federal military control and curfew, most of those who have no time to leave the city or go home and do not have passes will choose to drive there. motel and then spend the night nearby.

Of course, some people choose to while away the evening by going to a drive-in movie.

But don't expect too much about the hygiene level of this kind of place. It's already very rare to have a neatly made bed for sleeping.

Although Blue Bird can tolerate any harsh environment, it is still a little difficult to accept dirty places.
