From ship girl to machine god

If someone looked over from outside the box at this time, they would see a very intimidating scene that could be described as arrogant and extravagant. After all, the intimidation of Mann and his group of mercenaries is quite strong even when they deliberately put on a posture. of.

"Mann, what did Sasha do? Didn't I ask all of you to gather together?" Qingniao, who was enjoying the pillow on Lucy's lap, squinted his eyes and looked like he was pretending to be asleep, but he was not really asleep.

Upon hearing Jade Bird's question, Mann quickly explained: "Our previous middleman suddenly sent a job. I was originally prepared not to take it, but Sasha said that the matter was related to the death of her mother, so I went."

"She's alone? What kind of job?" When he heard that it was related to the death of Sasha's mother, Qingniao immediately opened his eyes, with a sharp light shining in his eyes.

In the original anime plot, Sasha took on the task of sneaking into biotechnology alone to steal data. After discovering that the side effects of biotechnology drugs were related to the death of his mother, he chose to steal relevant information.

After that, Sasha was forced to jump off the building because he triggered the security measures, but died because he failed to land safely.

After that, because there was a lack of hackers in the team, Mann went to Qi Wei to cooperate, and under her introduction, he recruited Lucy into the team, triggering a series of events that followed.

Now that Sasha once again encountered something related to her mother's death, Blue Bird was naturally particularly concerned.

"I went to biotechnology to steal a piece of information. Originally, I planned to pick her up, but the boss wanted us to gather together, and Sasha said she could handle it alone..." Mann explained to Jade Bird, feeling a little jealous. The blue bird opened his eyes anxiously, although his eyes only changed, but it gave him a great sense of oppression.

After listening to Mann's explanation, Qingniao moved his fingers. He did not go to pick up the data tablet placed aside. He just put his fingers on his forehead. The data tablet lit up on its own and dialed Alpha's phone number. : "Alpha, is the matter settled?"

"It's done. The kid was frightened by the countdown on the chip. I threatened him that my brain would be burned when the countdown ended. He is running very fast now." Alpha's voice came from the other end of the phone, although it was calm. Like water, you can tell that she is in a good mood.

"Well, as long as things are going well, there's something you need to do now." Qingniao couldn't help but smile when she heard Alpha say that David was frightened, but she quickly talked about Sasha: "Sasha Sha picked up someone to go to biotechnology to steal information. I’m a little worried. You go and help her.”

"I know the boss, I'll go right away." Alpha agreed and then hung up the phone.

After ending the call with Alpha, Qingniao did not put down his fingers, but dialed Weslow's number again.

"Miss Jade Bird? It's really strange that you would take the initiative to contact me? Do you need my help for anything?" Even through the phone, you can still hear Weislow's glib tone, but maybe it's because of the cooperation between Jade Bird and Mia , Wislow's attitude towards Blue Bird is quite respectful.

Qingniao didn't waste any time talking to Vislow and asked straight to the point: "Are you interested in the dirty stuff about biotechnology?"

Chapter 99 The countdown is in progress

"Dirty material in biotechnology? If there is no explosive information, forget it. Our military technology has a lot of black material in our hands, such as human experiments, virus research, and drug side effects. These are of no use to biotechnology. It’s meaningless.” Wislow’s words were very straightforward.

In this world without the constraints of the state and the legal system, companies' business competition is more straightforward and direct, and it does not make much sense to smear opponents through black materials.

What can really hurt these giant companies is the real violent materials, the kind of materials that can shake the foundation of a company's business. The side effects of drugs can only destroy a certain product of the company.

Moreover, this kind of black material is only effective when competitors release it. It is meaningless for Sasha to upload the black material to the Internet or rely on news stations to broadcast it like in the anime plot.

Top large companies such as biotechnology and military technology control media channels, and it is impossible for news that is unfavorable to the company to spread online.

Maybe those top hackers with sufficient skills can get some dirty information, but people who know these things know that they cannot be spread on the Internet at all. Not to mention the hackers trained by the company, even the network supervisor will not allow this kind of information to be spread randomly on the Internet. Information hacking.

Therefore, even in the anime plot, Sasha persisted until she uploaded all the black materials before jumping off the building and escaping, but the final result had no impact on biotechnology.

However, for Jade Bird, it is not difficult to dig out enough black materials, and it is also simple to spread them. But for it to play its greatest role, the best result is to use military technology and other giant companies to disseminate these black materials. It became a public opinion bomb that could shake biotechnology.

Therefore, after hearing Weislow's request for exciting information, Qingniao said directly: "Wait a few minutes, and I'll take a look at what's in the biotechnology data fortress..."

With that said, Qingniao found Sasha, who had already entered biotechnology, through the Internet. After frightening her, he used the quantum computing unit carried by Sasha as a springboard to project his consciousness and began to invade living things. The data fortress of technology.

In fact, when he first arrived in Night City, Blue Bird had invaded the servers of major companies and browsed a large amount of information inside.

But the data fortresses of various companies are another matter. Although Jade Bird could enter violently at that time, it would leave some traces.

At that time, Jade Bird, who didn't want to cause trouble, just browsed some peripheral data, instead of storming into the data fortresses of various companies and taking out all the core things.

After all, the Blue Bird was only an amphibious landing craft at that time, and the computing power of shipboard computers was limited. Although it could break through the data fortresses of various companies, military electronic warfare equipment was more of a brute force attack, and the methods would inevitably leave traces.

However, when Jade Bird, who had been upgraded to the destroyer level, took action again, the data fortress built by corporate hackers using silicon chip computers was completely unable to stop her.

You must know that with every additional qubit in a quantum computer, the computing power increases exponentially.

The computing power of 30 qubits may only be in the trillions level, which is not as good as a mainstream graphics card in the world before Blue Bird traveled. The computing power of a supercomputer has reached exascale, but with each additional qubit, the computing power of the quantum computer will increase. It needs to be multiplied by 2.

Just like the most classic wheat grain problem on a chessboard, there are 1 grain in the first square, 2 grains in the second square, 4 grains in the third square, 8 grains in the fourth square... and so on, when reaching No. 60, four grains By that time, it was no longer enough to put all the wheat on the earth.

Therefore, when the number of qubits reaches 76, its computing speed is 415500000 billion billion billion times per second.

The number of qubits in the external quantum computing unit given to Lucy and Sasha by Bluebird is 120, which is only equivalent to 15% of the computing power of her own newly upgraded shipboard computer.

With such terrible computing power, using ordinary decimal to write numbers will be a long and smelly string. Even if all the numbers after the first four digits are omitted and written as zeros and the units are written in Chinese characters, it will still be an alarmingly long number. The simpler scientific notation is 1.329e+36, which is 1.329×10 raised to the 36th power.

This amount of calculations is enough for Bluebird to control the entire network on Earth in the cyberpunk world, whether inside or outside the black wall.

So when she started looking for biotech dirt, no matter how strong the company's firewalls and data fortresses were, they were just like open doors for her to come in and out.

Soon, Qingniao dug out all the black materials he needed. After packing the copies, he threw them to Sasha and asked her to copy the information onto the chip.

At the same time, Blue Bird did not forget to tell her to evacuate quickly, and told her that Alpha would come to pick her up.

After doing all this, Qingniao pulled back his consciousness and said to Wislow who was still waiting on the other end of the phone: "It's done. I found some things that your military technology will definitely be interested in, but the things are there. My people have some data that can only be downloaded on site. If you are willing to help, you can contact my people and help with it."

"That's easy to say. You can send me your location and contact information, and I'll arrange a response right away." Vislow agreed very happily. This was just a matter of sending a team of people. For now, he has taken over the task of creating a new legend of Night City. For him, the project is something he can handle within his own authority.

Qingniao also happily sent Sasha's contact information, and then she didn't forget to send a message to Alpha, reminding her to pay attention to the military technology people.

When Jade Bird treated Alpha and installed a new prosthetic body on her before, Jade Bird made some small changes to Alpha's face, adjusting her from the standard American appearance to Asian features, and encountered military technology As long as she doesn't panic, she won't be able to recognize military technology at all.

After doing all this, Jade Bird hung up the phone, looked at Mann who was a little guilty and sweating on his forehead, and asked casually: "What was the name of your original middleman?"

"Faraday, it is said that he works for military technology. Many of the commissions sent to us before were related to military technology." Mann explained to Blue Bird that he had no affection for his former middleman Mann.

Hearing Mann mention this familiar name, Qingniao finally sat up, his eyes showing sharpness: "Faraday with four eyes? I have heard of this person. The name was not chosen well. This name is too heavy for him." If you can’t afford it, you will suffer a loss sooner or later.”

After saying that, Qingniao glanced at Lucy, who had been using her as a cushion just now, and asked her, "By the way, how long is the countdown left?"

Chapter 100 The countdown is over

David looked at the bright red countdown in his field of vision and felt that his life was passing by bit by bit.

Although he managed to gain a lot of time by passing the subway, as he looked at the dwindling countdown, he felt like a fuse was constantly burning, and his brain was getting closer and closer to being roasted.

However, he was quite lucky and moved really fast. With about ten minutes left in the countdown, he finally arrived at Little Chinatown and successfully found the entrance to the Afterlife Bar.

It's just that David is an ordinary "good guy" who is still wearing the uniform of Arasaka School. Such a person who does not belong to the place of the afterlife will obviously not be able to enter the afterlife.

Just the mercenaries who were "not qualified to enter the next life" entrenched at the door were a threshold that David could not pass.

"Hey, kid! This is not the place for a corporate dog like you!" A mercenary stretched out a leg and staggered David, then taunted him.

Fortunately, David reacted fairly well and did not fall to the ground.

He didn't want to get involved with these people, so he continued walking quickly toward the entrance of the bar without saying anything.

The countdown in his field of vision was like a reminder, urging David not to stop for a moment.

But obviously, these mercenaries who could not enter the afterlife would not let him in so easily. A group of people stood up and directly blocked David's way.

"Boy, don't you have ears? I told you this is not the place you should be here. Go back to your doghouse, company dog!" A mercenary spat at David with a mouth full of bad breath. While spitting, he reached out and tapped directly on the conspicuous Arasaka mark on David's school uniform.

However, for the sake of his own life, David obviously couldn't just turn around and leave. He remembered Alpha's words before, so he said, "I'm here to deliver something. I'm running errands for Jade Bird!"

"Blue Bird? Which Blue Bird? I don't know anyone from Blue Bird or Red Bird! If you say you won't be allowed in, you won't be allowed in. Get out of here, or I will kill you!" This mercenary was obviously looking for trouble on purpose, but he did I don’t know the blue bird’s name.

After all, it's normal for these guys who can't even enter the next life to have never heard of Blue Bird.

Seeing that Alpha's words were useless, David suddenly became anxious. He lowered his head and prepared to break through, but was immediately pushed back by the mercenary blocking the way.

At this moment, David was pushed to the ground, making him angry and anxious, while the mercenaries around him burst into laughter.

Just when David was extremely anxious, looking at the dwindling countdown in the view angle, and was already excited and ready to fight for his life, Emerik, the gatekeeper at the door of the afterlife behind them, said: "What are you doing? You want to be at the door of the afterlife. Do you want to do it?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Hearing Emeric's words from the afterlife, the mercenaries who were still hoping to please him to enter the afterlife quickly dispersed, expressing their fear again and again.

At the same time, they also explained to Emerik: "We just saw that Arasaka's corporate dog wanted to come in and cause trouble, and we just wanted to drive him away!"

"No, I'm not here to cause trouble. A woman asked me to come here to deliver a chip. She said it was for a man named Mann. She also said that if anyone blocked the way, she would say that it was for Jade Bird to run errands, but these people said they didn't know. Bluebird!" Seeing someone handling this matter, David got up from the ground and hurriedly explained to Emerick.

As he spoke, David explained the situation and expressed his urgency: "There is a virus on that chip. If I don't deliver it before the countdown ends, my brain will be cooked. There are only 7 minutes left." Got it!"

David was extremely anxious, but Emerick still planned to play by the rules.

But fortunately, he knew about Jade Bird, so he said to David: "Wait a moment, I'll ask Miss Jade Bird."

With that said, Emerick called Qingniao's phone and explained the situation.

Jade Bird also quickly gave a positive answer and did not let Emerik stop David again.

"Go in. Miss Jade Bird is in the fourth box on the left after entering. If you don't know, you can ask at the bar." After saying that, Emerick made way to the next life.

David quickly said thank you and rushed into the Afterlife Bar.

Emerik, on the other hand, looked at the mercenaries who had blocked David just now and said to them: "You have never even heard the name Miss Blue Bird. You have no right to stay here. Get out of here."

After saying that, without waiting for these people to leave, he stood back at the door of the next life.

The mercenaries suddenly looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but it was obvious that they did not have the courage to resist Emeric.

When these unlucky guys were hesitating whether they should really get out, David also found the box where the Blue Bird was by asking the bartender at the bar, and asked everyone in the box eagerly: "Who is Mann?" ? A woman with a knife asked me to deliver a chip! Can you help me take it out quickly? The countdown for this thing is almost over!"

"No rush, boy." Mann had already been told by Blue Bird at this time, so he deliberately showed a very scary smile and smiled at David: "There are still 2 minutes until the explosion. Your brain will not be destroyed yet. Roasted."

Dolio, who was on the side, also followed Blue Bird's instructions and chimed in: "And even if your brain is burned out, the chips we want will not be affected. As long as you get here, we can receive the goods, so we are not in a hurry."

"Besides, you are just a company dog. If you die, you will die. Why should we take it out for you?" Rebecca on the side acted in her true self at this time, and took out a dog with a grumpy look. She put the big gun painted green and pink according to her preference on David's forehead: "If you ask me, I should wait until your brain is cooked before taking out the chip. I have never seen this virus before. It looks like the person’s brain is being cooked bit by bit during the attack!”

The words of everyone in the Cyberpunk team really scared David to death. Obviously, he had not thought that he would still die even if he delivered the goods.

But fortunately, he still felt that his life was important. After taking half a step back, he put his hand on the chip slot behind his head and threatened loudly: "Then it will be a big deal. I will break off this chip now! Anyway, it's all over." It’s a death!”

Seeing him like this, everyone in the box seemed to be looking at a fool, but they couldn't make a decision on this matter, so they all looked at the blue bird who was lying in Lucy's arms again, waiting for her decision.

At this time, David finally saw that the person sitting in the main seat of the box was not the white-haired royal sister Lucy as he thought, but the little girl Qingniao lying on her lap.

"Okay, you can pull out the chip, give it to the big guy next to you, and Mann, you give him a traveling fee." Bluebird's voice was still emotionless, as flat as a narrative.

But after Qingniao spoke, David saw the countdown in his field of vision stopped and turned green.

1 A worse world

With the order from Blue Bird, Mann happily gave David two thousand euros directly. This amount of money may not have been a small amount of money for Mann in the past, but now he can no longer take this kind of expense to heart. .

Especially since this was an order from Blue Bird, Mann didn't need to pay any attention to it.

After receiving the money, David didn't want to stay in a place that he considered very dangerous and chaotic, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Qingniao stopped him at this time: "Hey, boy! Let me ask you a question, do you really like your current life?"

Qingniao's question made David stop, turned to look at the girl who asked him the question, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
