From ship girl to machine god

Arasaka Yorinobu was rushed to the hospital. After simple treatment to control his injuries and wake up, the current most legitimate and only heir of the Arasaka Group announced that he would take over the Arasaka Group and responded to the murder of Arasaka Group. The assassin who killed his father launched a hunt and revenge.

In order to achieve this goal, he will increase his troops in Night City.

Of course, military technology is opposed to the Arasaka Group's actions. The Arasaka Group's force in Night City is already very powerful. If they double the number of troops and have an excuse to use force and start a war, the Arasaka Group will take the opportunity to launch the fifth corporate war. possible.

Therefore, military technology did not care much at this time and hurriedly began to increase troops to Night City.

Not only military technology, but other corporate giants have also made the same move. Even the local Ye Company in Night City is also looking for ways to expand its power.

With the actions of major companies, Night City has a trend of storm coming.

But before the major companies started fighting, the mercenaries arranged by Jade Bird took the lead in starting a fight in the city, causing a lot of chaos.

Haywood's Valentino Gang launched an all-out attack on their old rivals, the Sixth Street Gang, and with the cooperation of the Afterlife mercenaries, they were victorious and quickly gained an advantage.

Old Morgan took his old teammates to find the wanderer Adkardos outside the city, and with the help of his old relationship and the connection that Blue Bird had established with them before, he persuaded the wanderer family to deal with the chaos. The Sword Society declared war, and the two sides also fought fiercely outside the city.

It can be said that under the layout of Blue Bird, Night City at this moment is caught in fierce firefights and battles, both inside and outside the city.

The order in the entire city was gone, and the major companies fell into a state of wariness and confrontation with each other because of Saburo Arasaka's death. Suddenly, they had no intention or energy to suppress the order in Night City, so everything fell into chaos.

In the midst of this chaos, an elite resistance force led by Mann and others from Mexico joined Alpha and others and launched an assault on Arasaka Tower from an abandoned underground mine tunnel.

Their mission is to destroy the mikoshi under Arasaka Tower and release the digital imprints imprisoned inside, and then completely cut off the hope and possibility of Saburo Arasaka's resurrection.

"I didn't expect the boss to actually set up such a big plan. That was Saburo Arasaka, and he was killed by the boss like that?" Mann still felt a little unreal. He had been staying in Mexico before and had not participated in the Blue Bird's attack in the night. City's actions, so it was really hard for him to imagine how big of a deal Jade Bird had done.

Lucy on the side was no longer restrained by the blue bird, and was holding a women's cigarette in her mouth at the moment. When Mann said this, she said casually: "What else? The boss killed Saburo Arasaka himself, and then went to get the White Whale. On the super aircraft carrier No. [-], she contacted Valentino and the mercenaries from the afterlife to set fire to the city, and asked Adcados and Morgan Blackhand to fire cannons outside the city. It can be said that she included the entire Night City this time. ”

"And our job is to defeat Arasaka Tower again?" Rebecca was eager to try, and raised her plasma launcher, with a crazy smile on her face: "When will the boss come? I can't wait to blow up Arasaka Tower." Turned to ashes!”

Hearing Rebecca's question, Lucy paused for a moment, but quickly covered it up and said to Rebecca: "The boss can't come over. She has some very important things to deal with, so this time only Let’s go fight Arasaka Tower.”

"What is the boss doing?" Alpha felt a little strange, so he asked Lucy.

"I don't know, but it's very important to think about it, and it's something that only the boss can handle." Lucy didn't explain, but just took the blue bird's data pad and faced it with a blue 0 and 1 displayed on it. The woman's face asked: "Miss Ott, are you ready?"

"I can open the way to the shrine for you at any time, but I hope you can keep your promise." Ott Cunningham said with an indifferent expression on the screen.

Chapter 175: There is no ship in the new era that can carry the old guy

While the Night City was in uproar, Blue Bird had already sunk itself and the White Whale into the bottom of the sea.

At this time, there were no survivors on the entire White Whale. Not only had a few days passed, but those who survived had also suffocated to death. Moreover, the blue bird had released its mental core and began to devour and fuse the ship. .

Compared to the bluebird absorbing the shipbuilding steel in the warehouse before, a whole super aircraft carrier will undoubtedly cost her more time.

However, after the mental core is unfolded, this transformation and absorption of materials does not need to be controlled by Blue Bird. The mental Rubik's Cube will automatically complete this process.

The Blue Bird himself upgraded his own hull while absorbing and merging the Mental Cube with the hull of the White Whale.

"This ship can provide materials equivalent to 27 tons of high-performance shipbuilding steel, and because it is a whole ship, I can light up a technology tree upgrade plan for the same ship type. In other words, can I turn into an aircraft carrier? " Jade Bird was operating the interface of the mental core. He originally planned to increase his tonnage first to prepare for further upgrades, but he did not expect that this super aircraft carrier gave Jade Bird an unexpected surprise.

According to the answer given by the mental core, the Blue Bird sank and integrated a complete ship, and the tonnage and ship type of this ship were higher than her current level. At the same time, it also met all the needs for upgrades, so it was able to Get this special upgrade effect.

That is to say, without climbing the entire scientific research line, you can first light up an upgradeable target and directly upgrade to this ship type in one step, without having to climb the technology tree step by step.

Of course, this requires Qingniao to have sufficient material reserves, otherwise it will light up the upgrade target, and she still cannot directly upgrade without enough materials.

But right now, the entire ship is being integrated by her, so there is no need to think so much.

Because all the upgrade conditions have been met, Jade Bird can already start upgrading.

"Then what should I choose?" Looking at the numerous aircraft carrier branches on the scientific research line, Jade Bird was somewhat entangled in the difficulty of choosing.

Except for some fleet aircraft carrier options that are too scientific, there are three choices in front of Blue Bird.

The first option, the amphibious assault ship, is a light aircraft carrier designed to conduct space and planetary surface operations. Its main capabilities are orbital bombardment and close ground support.

The follow-up development is also going towards the route of attacking the surface of planets. It is more used to support space landing operations, but it is very destructive to planets and is the kind that can burn glass.

But for Jade Bird, firstly, she does not have a space horse that can be used for orbital airborne landing, and secondly, she also has no need to burn glass.

The second option, the integrated support ship, is a type of ship similar to a forward mission base. It is mainly used to provide a rest and supply platform for planetary landing forces, and can also perform simple maintenance on small ships.

It belongs to the logistics support type. Although this level is only equivalent to a logistics supply ship, in subsequent upgrades, the construction of small ships can be unlocked, allowing one person to form an army.

Its biggest problem is that its early combat effectiveness is almost nonexistent compared to the other two upgrade routes, which is not in line with Jade Bird's plan for itself.

Third, the multi-functional mission ship is an all-rounder with average performance in all aspects. It can adapt to various mission environments and has good battlefield survivability. Although it has no special features, it has no shortcomings.

The subsequent development of this type is also quite satisfactory and has no characteristics, but it also has no shortcomings. It is comprehensive in all aspects and can do any job.

It may not have the characteristics of other types, but for the bluebird who is just a person, it is the most suitable.

After all, she has neither a large space landing force nor an entire fleet to serve as her escort. On the contrary, this kind of single-ship ship with good survivability is more in line with her current needs.

Of course, this kind of upgrade route is called mediocre at best and mediocre at worst. The combat effectiveness it can exert is limited, and it is always inferior to a ship that specializes in a certain function.

Therefore, if Jade Bird chooses this upgrade route, her combat effectiveness will be limited in the future unless she can absorb other technologies to enhance the upgrade route.

Although this so-called limitation is only relative to other ships, the multi-functional mission ship itself also has good combat effectiveness, but Qingniao still hesitated.

Should we choose to give up immediate combat power and choose the "longest plank" in the future, or give up future possibilities and choose to make up for the "shortest plank in the bucket"?

This was a difficult choice, but after Jade Bird hesitated and made a detailed comparison of three different styles of ships, she finally made a choice.

"I hope I won't regret this decision." Qingniao selected the upgrade path she decided on the control panel of the mental core. Her body, along with these words, was engulfed by the blue light and tissue released from the mental core, and it was formed again. It became a giant steel cocoon.

The only difference from the last time is that this time the steel cocoon is even larger, and the red light it emits is mixed with a red glimmer.

This red glimmer is not eye-catching, and can even be easily ignored in the dim environment of the seabed, but it seems to have had a huge impact on the bluebird that cannot be ignored.

However, no one knows what the consequences of this impact will be. Even the blue bird himself is not aware of his changes and the impact at all.

We can only know what consequences this will have until the impact of the red light is truly revealed.

But right now, one thing is certain, that is, after Blue Bird completes this upgrade, no one on this planet can really pose a threat to her, and she will truly show her power and strength. , completely overturned the so-called chess game, and found out all the "chess players" and beat them up.

Whether it is the companies that control the world, the various forces collaborating with the companies, or the governments of various countries who want to profit from them, these dregs of the old era will be completely abandoned and destroyed.

A great man once said that great chaos can lead to great governance. Only by smashing all the altars of the old era can a brand new world be created.

As for those old guys from the old era, if they can adapt and keep up with the pace of the new era, then the new era may not be unable to tolerate some old guys who will abide by the new order of the new era.

But those who are stubborn will inevitably be crushed into dregs by the giant wheel of the times.

There is no place for the old guys from the old era on the ship of the new era. This will be guaranteed by the ship itself!

Chapter 176 The Resurrected Johnny Silverhand

"Why hasn't the boss come back yet? Something happened, right?" In the Afterlife bar, Rebecca was bored and asked Lucy beside her.

Ever since Aotori killed Saburo Arasaka and sank the Moby Dick that day, she has not appeared again. This is something that worries everyone in the Cyberpunk team and others who care about Aotori. matter.

Because Jade Bird had assigned important tasks to everyone before, they were all busy with the things at hand and had no time to think about these things.

But as everyone had finished what they were doing and gathered again at the Afterlife Bar, the conversation inevitably focused on Blue Bird.

Rebecca, who was most worried about the Blue Bird, could no longer bear it anymore and wanted to drive her combat mecha to find the Blue Bird.

If it hadn't been for the obstruction of Mann and others, Rebecca might have taken action, and she might even not be the only one.

"With the boss's strength, what do you think could happen to her? There must be something delayed." Although Lucy knew some things, she did not reveal any information, only saying that Jade Bird was safe.

Everyone has seen the strength of Blue Bird, and many people have even experienced it personally.

Although they have not faced off against the fully unleashed Bluebird, but thinking about how Bluebird was able to annihilate a 3000-man troop in Mexico before, and now it is even able to directly sink a super aircraft carrier, it would be hard to say that Bluebird has really suffered. What an accident, no one would believe it.

After all, most of the power of the Arasaka Group is currently being restrained by other major companies. Although the forces of all parties are at war with each other, no one wants to take the first shot and provoke a new round of corporate war.

In the final analysis, this is the deterrence brought by these things done by Jade Bird.

Because no one wants to test whether their head is more stable than Saburo Arasaka's, or whether the security of their headquarters building is more resistant to beatings than a super aircraft carrier.

Therefore, although the gang wars are raging in the Night City, and the relationship between the Wanderer Family and the Sword Society is also in full swing outside the city, the major companies are very peaceful and have no tendency to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.

Even military technology, which was eager to regain control of Night City, did not make any strong response to Arasaka's aggressive posture this time. Instead, after strengthening its own military strength, it put on a shrinking posture. The turtle's defensive stance disappointed many people who were watching the excitement.

Because of this, although Night City now looks chaotic and noisy, the overall order has not collapsed.

Except for the fact that the trauma team, the police, and the violent terrorist mobile team were so busy every day that they were about to become cyberpsychotic, Night City could actually be called peaceful.

Peaceful like Berlin during the Cold War.

But for everyone in the Cyberpunk team, such days seem a bit boring.

Previously, under the arrangement of Blue Bird, they and the rebels broke into the underground of Arasaka Tower, blew up the data fortress mikoshi used by the Arasaka Group to store digital imprints, and while destroying the mikoshi, they also launched an attack on Arasaka Tower. attack.

Due to Arasaka Yorinobu's deliberate arrangement and the tacit understanding and cooperation of both parties, the shareholders and directors who were summoned by Arasaka Yorinobu to attend a meeting to discuss the future of Arasaka Group were all taken away by the cyberpunk team, while Arasaka Yorinobu was injured due to previous injuries. Relationships that are not healed at the residence do not escape unscathed at Arasaka Tower.

This has certainly caused a great impact and heavy damage to the Arasaka Group. As these important shareholders and directors have been dealt with in one go, the rule of the Arasaka Group around the world has also been shaken and challenged.

But at this time, Arasaka Yorinobu showed a tough attitude to avenge his father, and transferred a considerable part of the Arasaka Group's troops from all over the world to Night City, which also made the Arasaka Group's forces elsewhere Further decline in control.

Suddenly, there was a wave of resistance against the Arasaka Group all over the world.

"Is the boss you are talking about the one who secretly designs and controls all of this? I really want to meet her and ask him to modify this body for me so that I can take a cigarette, just one sip! "A guy whose whole body was made of metal prosthetics sat aside, holding a lit cigarette in his hand. Although he made a smoking gesture, he couldn't taste the smoke at all, and he couldn't even inhale the smoke into his lungs.

Another woman next to him, whose whole body was also made of metal prosthetics, glanced at him and said to him: "Shut up Johnny, you owe him a huge favor by being resurrected, don't expect too much." , and if you want to add other functions to the prosthetic body, I can help you solve it when you return to Hong Kong with me."

"Really? But I want to smoke right now!" Johnny Silverhand, once the legendary mercenary of Night City, the lead singer of Samurai Band, and the thorn in the side of the Arasaka Group, fiercely pressed the cigarette butt in his hand. On the coffee table, a grumpy man stood out.

After Aotori got the Relic from Yorinobu Arasaka, she followed the agreement between herself and Rogge and took out the digital imprint of Johnny Silverhand from the chip and introduced it into a prepared prosthetic body. .

After activating this prosthetic body, Johnny Silverhand, who had been dead for half a century, finally came back to life.

This experience of resurrection from the dead shocked Johnny Silverhand. After spending some time figuring out what happened and how the world changed after his death, Johnny Silverhand fell into In depression.

He is alive, but not fully alive. He is now more like a robot, and even the bird is gone.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Johnny Silverhand, who was well versed in eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking. He even felt emo at one point and wanted to pull out the chip on his prosthetic body and continue pretending to be dead.

However, with the encouragement of Rogge and his teammates from the Samurai Band who reunited after learning of his resurrection, Johnny Silverhand got back on his feet.

When he was alive, he always had trouble with Arasaka. Now that he was killed by them and came back to life, he had to settle the score with Arasaka.

For Johnny Silverhand, this is his new life goal.

However, before Johnny Silverhand could take any action, he was told that Saburo Arasaka was dead, the top management of the Arasaka Group was also down, Arasaka's super aircraft carrier was sunk, and even the Arasaka Tower was blown up twice. Second-rate.

Even his old sweetheart, Ott Cunningham, who had become a wandering AI, was resurrected in the same way under the powerful technical power of Blue Bird, and appeared in front of Johnny Silverhand again.
