Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

What Xiangzi wanted was what was inside the trap.

"(There are only two ways.)"

Xiangzi thought.

Or, think of a way to avoid the trap.

For example, if the trap is set on the ground, then if you can fall vertically from the air, you can take out the things inside without touching the trap.

Or, think of a way to destroy the trap.

The trap was still set on the ground. This time, I cut the trap open before entering, so I could avoid being caught and take the things inside.

What specific measures should be taken and how should they be done?

The answer can only be obtained through continuous testing.

Ave Mujica is not likely to be tested on BCPD territory.

To this end, they found a substitute in the training ground:

The fence bordering the [Infrastructure Area] and [Integrated Area 2].

Here, there are a wide variety of city-building robots, and some have been detected to contain open output ports of the [Swarm].

This is where the needs of practicing Ave Mujica can be met.

Next to Xiangzi, Mu added labels such as [Resistance Intention: Weak], [Possibility of Swarm Leakage: Weak], and [Contact Method: Close Contact] behind "High-Output Prosthetic Contact" in her laptop column.

There are many columns. From top to bottom, they are arranged in green columns.

Now, everyone is testing different attack and interference methods to see what different effects they will have on the robot, how the robot identifies the enemy, and under what conditions it will attack.

[Collision] [Crush] [Large-caliber bullets and penetrating wounds] These are things that believers have tested in defense, needless to say, and there are already detailed data.

The crowd at Ave Mujica was testing something a little more rare.

For example, [whether it can tolerate high-output prosthetic contact], [whether it can tolerate high-voltage electric shock], [how approach will trigger an attack], [how to identify the target of attack], [whether it can identify other robots], [whether it can tolerate cement pouring], [whether it can tolerate being splashed with tomato-flavored sauce]...

……and many more.

“Who proposed to test whether a person can tolerate being splashed with tomato-flavored sauce?”

Xiangzi looked at the test column and frowned.

She turned and looked at Miao Meng.

"..."

Miao Meng’s eyes widened.

"I tested it." Mu said from behind Xiangzi, "I was testing the effect of sugary fluid on the bearing movement of the urban construction robot."

"..."

Xiangzi turned his head back again.

"——Boss! You thought it was me, didn't you?" Meow Meng yelled, "When something strange happens, you always suspect me first, right!?"

"…Let me see the next column."

Xiangzi said to Mu.

"——When you are in the wrong, you will change the subject!!" Meow Meng shouted from the side.

"BCPD's power-charged punch simulation—"

Xiangzi brought the topic back and began to discuss the possibility of using BCPD's own equipment to deal with urban construction robots.

There was a commotion in the rear.

In front, Hai Ling looked into the distance.

Chuhua is still testing.

She threw the city-building robots that she had forcibly subdued and clamped like bowling balls, knocking the robots in the distance to the ground.

"..."

Hai Ling looked at the robots that were rushing over in a scattered manner and were knocked crooked by the "bowling balls".

She did not participate in the discussion behind, nor did she look very seriously at the "bowling activity" in front of her.

She looked a little absent-minded, thinking about something else.

After throwing away the urban construction robot in his hand, Chu Hua turned around.

Chuhua noticed Hailing's long silence.

She thought about it...

"Do you want to try it?"

Chu Hua asked Hai Ling.

"……what?"

Hai Ling blinked and came back to her senses. She looked at Chu Hua and asked.

"Try this... uh... bowling?" Chu Hua said, "Wait a minute."

Before Hai Ling could say "I don't need it", Chu Hua turned on the white power light on her ankle, jumped away from the intersection, and leaped behind the building complex.

Hai Ling heard "click, dong, bang" sounds coming from behind the building complex.

A moment later, Chu Hua, with gunpowder ash on his face, jumped back in front of Hai Ling, holding a city construction robot that was trying stiffly to turn its neck and open the muzzle of the gun.

"Here you go." Chu Hua handed it to Hai Ling and said, "Grab the flap here. Be careful, it will bite. Throw it from the bottom up."

“…Ah, oh.”

Even Hai Ling, who was usually very calm, was rarely stunned when she took over the city construction robot.

Chapter 3: Urgent Need for Robot Protection Association (9k monthly tickets plus more)

Sand...boom!

A city construction robot flew out from the fence bordering the [Infrastructure Area] and [Comprehensive Area 2] and collided with other city construction robots at the end of the road.

"...It's quite fun." Hai Ling looked into the distance and said, "It's more interesting than I thought. It also requires some skills."

"Right?" Chu Hua nodded.

"But we have to worry about them biting people... Wouldn't it be more convenient to attack people with portable cutting devices and muskets and remove this part under their heads?"

"Remove it from the deflector?"

"Yes. Pull out the wires inside and cut them off. This will be much safer. This will also allow us to test whether the robot will be recognized as an enemy by other robots after the wires are cut off."

Hai Ling, who learned the fun of robot bowling from Chu Hua, discussed with Chu Hua some topics that would cause psychological trauma on the integrated circuit boards if the robots heard them.

Behind them, Xiangzi, Mu and Miaomeng were discussing...

Not so “robot-friendly” either.

Avoiding traps means not being discovered by robots.

Destroying the traps means making these robots lose their threatening capabilities.

After Xiangzi presented these two possible options, Miaomeng and Mu continued to put forward their opinions.

"It's really easier and more direct to make the robots lose their threat, right?" Miao Meng said, "Although they are full of [Zerg] and can't be hacked, we can still put up a simple defense!"

Miao Meng said as she pulled out the [Single Molecule Wire] from her hand.

"It should do something other than cutting antennas!" Miao Meng said, "It can cut off the heads of those robots and turn them into harmless products! Moreover, cutting the heads of robots can also be made into a stress-relieving video... "Immersive Cutting City Construction Robot 2h Record"! I think believers will love this!"

"...I think even among believers, such a unique hobby is probably very niche." Hai Ling said.

She had just declined Chu Hua's invitation to "throw a few more goals" and walked back.

"There are many more urban construction robots in the subway than we have here now," Hai Ling said. "It will be difficult for us to separate them into small groups and then grab one from them like we do now. Even if we can successfully separate them, it will be too time-consuming to deal with them harmlessly one by one through close contact."

"How about using artillery to deal with it all at once?" Chu Hua asked, "We have a good supply of gunpowder recently."

"Will the sound of the explosion be too obvious?" Miao Meng said, "If it is detonated, it will announce our entry while destroying the place. Wouldn't that be equivalent to attracting the BCPD... It would be like being caught in a trap? Moreover, it would also attract other troublesome guys--"

Miao Meng points to the shared data information form.

At the top of the stacked data tables, there is a big thing.

【Agricultural and Industrial M5】Crawler excavator.

This steel behemoth for urban construction, at least ten meters high, was what Ave Mujica saw that day.

"At least I don't want to fight this guy." Miao Meng said bluntly, "You guys can use guns after all - pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles. But I only have one operating system. At the critical moment, I can only choose to [connect] and then die together with this big guy with a bug in his head."

Chuhua also came over at this time.

In her hand was a city construction robot half the height of a human, with an orange shell.

That was the barrel-shaped outer armor of the city construction robot that she accidentally pulled off after she followed Hai Ling's advice and "pulled out the wires inside and cut them off."

"I remember you have a Kappa." Chu Hua said to Miao Meng. As she spoke, the outer armor of the city construction robot in her hand hit the ground, making a "crack, crack" sound.

"Wow, that's really noisy... Hey! [Kappa] It's just a smart little pistol!" Meow Dream said, "You don't want it to beat this damn thing, do you? You can't ask too much of a smart little pistol! Besides, automatic aiming, automatic shooting... I'm just a gun stand. It's not that I can use the gun, but the gun uses me."

"We may have direct confrontations at small locations, but we will definitely not carry out large-scale offensive operations." Xiangzi said, "BCPD blew up the nearby lines, and they have no way to monitor there. I think they use some remote decibel capture devices and more primitive regular inspection methods to confirm whether there is an intrusion. Therefore, we must avoid actions that make a lot of noise as much as possible."

"So, not being discovered by robots?" Miao Meng scanned the test columns and said, "Not being discovered by robots... is a bit difficult."

"Is it okay to be discovered by the robot?" Hai Ling suddenly said.

Miao Meng looked at Hai Ling.

Hai Ling pointed to the "bowling alley" just now.

"Those robots," Hai Ling said, "according to my contact with Chu Hua, the [Zerg] destroyed their central control. They no longer have the ability to scan the enemy, and can't call other robots to deal with problems together. Even if they are discovered, they won't suddenly call for a lot of support."

"Does this mean that city construction robots won't actively attack invaders? That's good... um... um?"

Miao Meng turned and looked at Chu Hua.

"Wait, Hatsuko. If city-building robots won't attack people, then why are there defenses here? And what have you been fighting against for the past three months?"

"They don't know how to scan or distinguish between friend and foe," Chu Hua answered truthfully, "so they run around everywhere and attack anything nearby that is identified as an 'invasion'."

Miao Meng looked towards the road.

Sure enough, the city construction robots that were knocked to the ground by Chuhua and Hailing never got up again, because they used their limbs to entangle each other and used the portable cutting devices that came out of their mouths to cut each other's bodies.

"…Does this count as an R++ movie specifically for robots?"

Miao Meng asked in a low voice.

"In the end, we still have to avoid being discovered..." Hai Ling said to herself.

"What is not considered an 'invasion'?" Xiangzi asked Chuhua.

"Those with urban construction logos don't count." Chu Hua picked up the large piece of robot shell in its hand, pointed at the side of the shell, and said, "The Urban Construction Bureau has a special steel stamp. The test on the shell just now showed that the steel stamp recognition does not require an Internet connection, and it can still be performed after being hacked by the [Zombie Swarm]."

"Ha!" Miao Meng laughed, "This is convenient! Now, we can just put the robot shell on ourselves and sneak in to save people!"

"Ha ha……"

"..."

Suddenly no one spoke.

Mu stood up.

She approached Chuhua, and then crawled under the large piece of robot shell in Chuhua's hand.

Mu squatted down and covered himself with the shell.

"..."

The semi-cylindrical orange-yellow shell just covered Mu's entire body.
