From ship girl to machine god

After officially belonging to Jade Bird, she re-planned the positioning and division of labor of the Cyberpunk team.

Among them, Pila, a member who is good at technology, was arranged by her to control drones and provide on-site technical support. She is responsible for controlling drones for reconnaissance, allowing hackers to obtain vision and intelligence, while also providing data transmission nodes and handling problems that hackers cannot pass through. Technical problems solved by remote control.

Of course, he can also be considered a combatant and provide fire support when necessary.

The drone that Pyrrha was controlling at this time was of course not Blue Bird's Night Sparrow. It was just a drone that he had modified himself using the parts he could get. It was not functionally equivalent to the Night Sparrow. Compared with the stealth reconnaissance drone, it can still meet the needs of the cyberpunk team.

As the drone took off, it quickly provided the entire team with an aerial view, giving them an unobstructed view of the entire warehouse. At the same time, a data transmission channel was established for hackers to use.

"Now I feel more and more that Jade Bird is right. Although this method of connecting anything to the network at any time is indeed convenient, in the face of powerful hackers..." In the team channel, Sasha said through the drone Hacking into the warehouse's cameras to obtain an internal view of the warehouse, he lamented: "It's like a girl wearing half-dress in front of a gangster. It has no meaning other than to seduce the other person into your body."

Listening to Sasha's pursuit of Blue Bird, Mann could not comment, but silently reminded: "Pay attention to the time, don't be like last time. I don't want to be dragged by the boss to do basic training again."

Jade Bird said that they were going to go through professional hell training, so of course he wasn't kidding, but really made a training plan for them that could be described as inhumane.

And Jade Bird still uses the training chip she got from military technology. All training is conducted in a virtual environment, which fully tortures their spirits without causing any physical damage.

The effect of this kind of training is immediate. Military science and technology also uses this method to train their own combat personnel, and has achieved remarkable results.

After all, in this era of advanced prosthetic technology, physical fitness can be completely solved through a tailor-made prosthetic implant package. There is no need for hard training to cultivate muscle memory and exercise the body.

But the mental pressure brought by this kind of virtual training is also huge, so much so that a tough guy like Mann doesn't want to go through the hell training with the blue bird again.

Naturally, the same was true for Sasha. While shivering and forcing herself to forget the psychological shadow caused by the hell training, she also speeded up her efforts to crack the warehouse firewall.

"Okay, it's done, I'm in." The good news was sent through the team channel, and Sasha also spent a few minutes to figure out the internal situation of the entire warehouse: "There are seven people in the warehouse, four of them are on the second floor. In the office, two are at the door and one is on...the beam. I have marked the automatic defense weapons with the guards. Pay attention to identification."

Mann looked at the figures and automatic defense weapons that lit up in his field of vision, and nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, he had to admit that Sasha was indeed much more presentable than before after being trained by Blue Bird.

However, after taking a deep breath, Mann quickly stopped thinking about this. Instead, he held the weapon and ordered on the team channel: "Attack!"

"Leave it to me!" Rebecca still shouted loudly, as if to increase her momentum, and then kicked open the warehouse door first, firing a hail of bullets at the two guards guarding the door.

With the hacker's special marking, Rebecca had already completed the aiming before entering the door, and she was able to kill them without even seeing them directly with the naked eye.

This was much better than the first time she experienced this kind of actual combat test, when she was shot at when she entered the door.

And after Blue Bird's hell training, Rebecca's fighting style has also changed dramatically.

Although she is still the same irritable lolita as before, her movements are obviously much cleaner than before, and she is also more professional, not just Ye Luzi's routine.

If Rebecca was like a mad dog in the past, she is now a ferocious she-wolf who has learned how to hunt and kill.

With her precise marksmanship, Rebecca killed the guard on the beam while changing the magazine, and rushed directly towards the office on the second floor.

Dorio followed closely behind Rebecca, and she held a powerful kinetic rifle in her hand. While covering Rebecca, she also looked around vigilantly.

It was also the same as in the previous test. It was not the first time that they had experienced an enemy hiding in a blind spot that had not been discovered by hackers suddenly jumping out, and they were all conditioned to react.

The current main combatants of the Cyberpunk team are Mann and Rebecca. Mann is considered a firepower player, while Dorio is more of an assaulter.

As for Rebecca, she is also considered an assaulter, but Rebecca still has to face the problem that her physical fitness cannot keep up, so in addition to firepower assault, she is more of an auxiliary assaulter.

However, at this time, the only ones who rushed to deal with the guards in the office on the second floor were Dorio and Rebecca. Mann himself took Pira into the warehouse and began to rummage for their target this time.

They soon found the target of their mission, a small, mysterious-looking container.

It's just that neither Mann nor Pila wanted to be the first to open the box, because they had encountered similar traps in previous training. As soon as the door of the cupboard was opened, a sentry cannon directly "double-killed", making them a direct winner. , the entire team retrained.

So Pyrrha's role as a technician came to light at this time. He quickly took out the equipment, inspected the container, and quickly opened the container.

The container door was opened, and the two sentry guns and the mines on the ground were also disarmed and entered sleep mode.

In the container, Jade Bird is sitting on a chair looking at the data on the data board in his hand. That is exactly the score given based on the current performance of the Cyberpunk team. There is also reference data for a standard special soldier next to it. Compared.

"The mission was completed in 40 minutes and [-] seconds without any casualties. Your performance exceeded my expectations. Congratulations on passing the assessment." Jade Bird looked up at Mann, snapped his fingers with satisfaction, and pulled them away. Back to reality.

On the sofa, everyone who was trained through the chip also came back to their senses from the virtual world and looked at Jade Bird with expectant eyes: "Are we qualified to do big business now?"

This is why the Cyberpunk team actively cooperates with the training.

Now that they have passed the final assessment of Jade Bird Design, I really want to know whether they are qualified to grab biotechnology now.

Chapter 13 Operation begins

In the bad land on the outskirts of Night City, a small van was parked in a valley. The temporary communication antenna on the roof pointed to the sky, making the van look unusual.

In the car, Qade Bird was pulling her data pad as usual, and next to her was Sasha, who was lying on the hacker chair.

Although she hasn't saved enough money to implant a hacker-specific prosthetic body, she can still exert the abilities of a hacker with the help of hacker glasses.

After all, the biggest role of hacker-specific prosthetics is to dissipate heat, allowing the hacker's brain to carry a higher load. To allow a hacker to maximize his combat effectiveness, he still relies on a hacker chair and specialized auxiliary equipment.

Otherwise, a hacker would never be able to defeat those large computers with his human brain alone, let alone move freely on the network like a digital ghost.

However, there is no implantation of hacker-specific prosthetics. There is also an advantage for Sasha, that is, she does not have to think too much about the heat dissipation problem of her body. She will not be like a professional hacker who has to soak herself in ice water to dissipate heat once she exerts her full strength. , if you don’t pay attention, you may roast your brain.

However, Sasha herself doesn't care much about this. She hopes that she can have a professional hacker prosthetic body that can use an implanted network access warehouse, so that she can exert her full strength like a real hacker.

Thinking of this, Sasha couldn't help but look at Jade Bird. She didn't even have a personal terminal, but she could exert power far beyond that of a normal hacker. This made Sasha very envious.

"Boss, how did you manage to be more powerful than most hackers in Night City without any implants?" Sasha couldn't help but curiously asked this question to Jade Bird.

"You're born with it, you can't learn it." It was obviously impossible for Qingniao to tell Sasha that she was a ship girl. That was the ability that came with the ship suit. She just said casually: "Concentrate, do this job seriously, and it will be done." The money you make after that will be enough for each of you to change your life."

?Hearing what Jade Bird said, Sasha also understood that Jade Bird must have secrets that he didn't know about.

But as Mann warned them when talking about it, this isn't something the Cyberpunk squad should know.

Rather than thinking about this, it is better to do the job at hand.

So Sasha calmed down, eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind, and focused on the task at hand.

After passing the last actual combat mission test of Jade Bird, the Cyberpunk team can finally engage in real missions.

This time, what they need to face is not the simulated opponent constructed by Bluebird in the virtual space using various test data, but the fully armed security force of biotechnology, the most difficult enemy they have ever faced so far.

Although in the simulation test, the enemies assigned to them by Blue Bird were more difficult than the company's security forces, but no one would die in the virtual test after all.

Even if they are "hit" or "killed", they will not have any actual impact on reality. This will undoubtedly cause some cognitive biases in the psychology of the team members, which will affect them to a certain extent in actual tasks.

After all, this was their first mission under Jade Bird, and they received a big order from Rogge. The cyberpunk team, which had never done such a big job before, felt a little guilty, even after going through Jade Bird’s experience. The same goes for training.

Therefore, how they perform in actual combat still needs to be tested through a real battle.

And this actual battle is already before their eyes.

Just like in the virtual test, Pyrrha controlled the drone to investigate the target.

They had obtained the information required for the mission from Rogge in advance. Through on-site reconnaissance in the previous few days, they had figured out the action route and timetable of this biotechnology transport team, and had made plans for an ambush.

Therefore, Pyrrha easily controlled the drone and found the convoy that still appeared at the same time as the previous few days.

"The target has appeared, they are on time." Pyrrha reported the target's appearance on the team channel.

After receiving Pila's notification, several other members of the team immediately adjusted their posture and prepared for an ambush.

While Rebecca was preparing her weapons, she habitually complained in the team channel: "It's finally here. I'm almost impatient to wait."

"Keep the team channel quiet and prepare for battle." Blue Bird's voice intervened, reminding Rebecca not to occupy the communication channel. At the same time, she also reported the latest situation of the target: "Attention, the convoy has one more truck than before. , there are two trucks and three escorts in total, adjust your combat plan according to the actual situation."

Perhaps because he was worried that this was the first time that the Cyberpunk team had carried out a mission of this difficulty, and because the Cyberpunk team had only received virtual training and the equipment on hand had not been upgraded, Blue Bird lent his Nightbird multi-functional stealth Reconnaissance drone.

This allowed her to receive what Nightfarrow discovered while Pyrrha was controlling Nightfarrow.

As the captain and conductor, Mann's already serious expression became even more grim when he heard Blue Bird's reminder.

After receiving the footage shot by Night Sparrow through the team channel, he immediately ordered in the team channel: "Dorio, you are responsible for dealing with the extra truck driver. Rebecca's mission remains unchanged, knock out the leading guard. The car forced them to stop.

Pila, you are responsible for taking care of the guards at the back of the convoy. Leave the remaining car to me. We will act as soon as the mines sound. "

Because the opponent's course of action is known in advance, setting a trap becomes inevitable.

Although an EMP mine cannot completely resolve the battle, it can paralyze most of the enemy's electronic equipment, prevent the other party from sending messages for help, and can also destroy combat drones that follow the convoy.

You must know that this is the 21s of the 70st century. Combat drones have already been popularized in various fields. Whether it is war or business negotiations, you need such cute and obedient little things to turn your opponents into obedient pet dogs. Or a puddle of flesh and blood on the ground.

And this is also the reason why Blue Bird lent Nightbird. After all, it is difficult for the Cyberpunk team to deal with large combat drones such as Octant by themselves.

But with Nightbird, Sasha, as a hacker, can immediately deal with the drones that have not been destroyed by EMP, crack their firewalls, and make them lose the threat.

Of course, if Jade Bird were to handle it herself, these drones would immediately turn into toys controlled by her, and in turn hunt and kill the people in the convoy that the drones were supposed to protect.

As for Jade Bird not wanting to go to such trouble, the two Peregrine Falcon light attack armed unmanned helicopters carried by her ship have not shown their faces yet.

Just when Jade Bird was estimating how long it would take for him to use the Peregrine Falcon to resolve the battle, the biotechnology convoy also hit the landmines set by the Cyberpunk team in advance.

"Boom!" There was a soft sound, and the electromagnetic pulse instantly enveloped the entire convoy.

Chapter 14 Taking biotechnology lightly

With the explosion of the EMP mine, a powerful electromagnetic pulse instantly enveloped the entire biotechnology convoy, whether it was the escort vehicle, the large truck carrying the goods, or the two Octant drones accompanying the flight. Paralyzed with a burst of electric sparks.

For various electronic components and equipment, powerful electromagnetic pulse is a very damaging attack method.

Even if these vehicles and drones are specially designed to deal with EMP attacks, they will still be paralyzed in a short period of time and require manual restart to recover.

Of course, Mann and other members of the team would not miss this great opportunity. Just as planned before, Rebecca and Dorio came directly from the right side of the convoy and took the lead in attacking the convoy.

Following the attack by the two men, the escort vehicle at the front of the biotechnology convoy was directly blown over by a grenade, and the first truck following it was also penetrated by a bullet fired from the side. , the driver’s head was beaten into rotten tomatoes on the spot.

Being attacked one after another, no matter how stupid people in biotechnology are, they should understand that they are under attack.

The two octants were unable to activate in a short period of time due to electromagnetic pulse attacks, and the security robots carried by the convoy were also unable to activate in a short period of time, but the security personnel in the convoy were still able to fight.

The prosthetic bodies on their bodies were also affected by the impact and could not be activated for a short period of time. However, compared to the paralyzed drones and robots, their own bodies could still move.

Just like when the Cyberpunk team was hacked by Blue Bird and their personal terminals were shut down to shut down their full-body prosthetics, they were not completely unable to move.

These biotechnology security personnel quickly stopped the car, got out of the car and built a defense based on the car body, and launched a counterattack against Rebecca and Dorio who attacked them.

And while they are launching a counterattack, they are also using various means to seek help from outside.

As corporate dogs, this is one of their biggest advantages. After all, nothing in Night City can compete with the power of the company.

As long as the news of their attack can be sent out, the reinforcements sent by the company will be enough to crush everything.

These security personnel firmly believe that this is their only chance and motivation to survive.

But the blue bird monitoring this operation through the night bird obviously couldn't let them send a request for help. The electronic interference projected through the night bird had blocked the area.

After all, if they really call for reinforcements, unless Blue Bird takes action personally, with the combat effectiveness of the Cyberpunk team, it will be impossible to confront the company head-on.

Whether it is the number and quality of personnel, or weapons and equipment, the Cyberpunk team does not have an advantage in all aspects.
