Chapter 438 Am I an outsourcer?
After accessing the huge database of the Brain Demon Gang, Lille felt a difficulty——
Even in the cyberpunk world, neurological problems are the most difficult and complicated diseases at the forefront.
If you are a rich person, it’s okay. Your nerves have been monitored in all directions since birth, the prosthetics and software used are all top quality, and your mentality is generally peaceful. Generally speaking, you won’t act like a street kid. Frequent bursting of blood vessels.
Once nerve damage occurs, the cost of treatment will rise exponentially.
Joestar's mother's problem was even more serious: her brain white matter had significantly enlarged under the influence of some drugs, and the three brain demon gangs had to perform a craniotomy on her to ensure that her intracranial pressure would not deteriorate. The brain turns to mush.
And a total of 160 operating units are directly connected to her brain. The externally collected skill chips cover all categories of skill operation, knowledge enhancement, combat skills, basic medical care, art, communication and social interaction. In just a few months, more than 10,000 different chips were collected.
These chips have been unable to be read in detail due to electromagnetic pulses and loss of control, but the little octopus can still roughly estimate the number.
Relying on the data processing capabilities of the little octopus, the shared memory part of Joestar and his mother will become abnormal due to fluctuations in "emotions", and then be stripped out as a whole and re-stored in the corresponding sectors of the brain.
In general, Joestar is responsible for experiencing illusions, and the emotions generated will be recognized by the two human feelings of Lear and Dumdum, and finally processed by the little octopus.
However, Joestar's mother's brain calculation speed is extremely fast, and only Lille can keep up with this fast and chaotic data flow, and even slightly exceeds it.
Now their first task is to disconnect people from the machine first, but as the progress speeds up, the rescue team encounters new problems.
[Little Octopus: Brother, it’s a bit troublesome. We can’t turn off the host. 】
The little octopus called up a lot of data for Lille. A simple summary is that Joestar's mother started a specific protocol when she operated on him.
This procedure does not exist in the database. It is a surgical plan mixed in a cyberpsychotic state. It uses the best hardware, the most skill chips and the most chaotic system.
Joestar's original body has been completely dismantled, and more than 90% of the parts used now are confidential materials and components that Lear has never seen before
If there is information for Lear to learn from, cooperate with him A team in another world might be able to come up with a plan to complete the prosthetic surgery in less than a week, but the problem is that the surgery cannot last that long.
We can only let the surgery be completed.
The operation seemed like a long time in cyberspace, but in the outside world, it was only less than an hour.
Chi——
Leal exited cyberspace, the cooling fins behind him spitting steam.
There were two sets of replaced fins on the ground, and they were all red hot.
Liel opened his eyes and saw V staring at him with a pair of big eyes
“There is an unpleasant smell of paste.”
“Normal.” Lille Shaking his head, "Being a hacker is not a brain-burning thing."
And this is no ordinary hacker. While processing data, Lear is also controlling the octopus arms and hands to process the prosthesis and links on Joestar's mother.
Now the lady has cut off most of the cables connected to the storage server, in other words
She can leave here.
Joestar's big eyes were staring at the ceiling, and you could clearly see that his new pair of prosthetic eyes seemed to have very complex functions, showing a strange layering under the light.
V looked at the boy: "His eyes."
"High-tech but very complicated."
"Hero." Joestar was lying on the bed, the world in front of him was dark, and his overall vision was made up of countless misplaced pictures spliced together.
This abnormality made him think in a bad direction.
"It's a bit troublesome. Your mother is going to pretend to be the best for you. If we pull her out now, you might die."
"I"
< br>
Leal quickly interrupted Joestar who was about to speak: "Even if you pull it out, you will become a cyber madman. If your mother only has you as a relative, you have to stay awake, otherwise she will also be without medicine." It's salvageable.
The best way now is to let her continue the surgery while I continue to complete the data stripping.
But I definitely can't continue here."
Liel Scan. Take a look at the scene.
Whether it is the "Eclipse" full-body prosthetic transformation or the "host" of Joestar's mother, they are all very advanced technologies.
Among them, the body of Solar Eclipse is even more special.
In order to deal with the emergence of full-body cyborgs in the city, one of the client network supervisors gave Lille a lot of information in this regard.
Just as he guessed: this kind of machine is even half a level higher than the normal military prosthetic body!
This thing is a covert action machine developed by Military Technology at the beginning of the 21st century. It was developed to counter and crush Arasaka's cyber ninjas who dominate the field of covert operations! (Note 1)
However, the standard model Eclipse should have turned into an experimental machine that was still alive before mass production due to the collapse of the Internet.
These information are all exclusive information from network monitoring, and they may have been dug out from the old network.
So in terms of level, the legacy of the Brain Demon Gang is definitely a good thing worthy of the company.
NCPD cannot be allowed to report this situation.
Otherwise, everyone here will have to go to the company to get checked.
[Contact: River][Lille: How do you plan to deal with the scene? 】
[River: Thank God, you finally answered. This earthquake made me think you were putting bombs inside, and I almost led someone in. 】
[River: As usual, the victims are sent to the hospital with insurance, humanitarian aid without insurance, the Brain Demon Gang. How many people do they have? 】
[Liel: They are all dead, but the situation is a bit special]
[River: Just tell me, you still can’t trust me in our relationship? 】
[Lille: I want to take everything here, take everything away. 】
There was silence on the other side of the phone.
What does it mean?
NCPD came out to arrest the suspect with great fanfare, but the suspect was captured by outsourced personnel?
Who is the outsourcer?
Is NCPD a contractor for Burger King?
Lille also knew that this matter was not easy to discuss.
[Liel: River, let’s stop playing charades. You and I both know that the NCPD and the Night City administration don’t care about the lives of these victims. 】
[Lille: Many of the victims here have half-footed into the category of cyberpsychosis. Night City will only send them to the "cooperating hospital" in the end to wait for their fate. Maybe in a few weeks you will You can see their organs on the black market. 】
[River: You mean the victim? 】
[Leal: I mean, all of it, the mastermind, the victims, the equipment. All of it. 】
[Liel: There are many people here who have voluntarily or been forced to be the experimental subjects of the Brain Demon Gang. The Brain Demon Gang may have technology that the company is interested in. ]
[Liel: I want to know if a company is interested in these technologies, can they buy the "evidences" directly from the NCPD? 】
[River: But you also said they are human beings.]
[Liel: But it is also part of the technology. Scavengers can trade human bodies, and companies can trade experimental subjects. 】
River on the other side sat down on the hood and looked at Old Han who was a little excited in the passenger seat -
After this job is completed, his salary will probably increase a lot.
River looked up at the sky, feeling a little helpless.
Just from this pause, Lear felt a subtle change in River's attitude, and continued:
[Lille: When you came, you told me, 'These things Knock one out and another one appears'. 】
[Liel: Yesterday it was Jotaro's nightclub, today it's the Brain Demon Gang, who knows who will be tomorrow? 】
【Lille: Many people here just want to find a job, but they have no choice. 】
[Lille: As long as no one continues to care about them, Night City will continue to encourage them to "free employment". There will always be the next gang or something else to send them into the "alchemy furnace". 】
[Lille: Instead of believing that the next person to come is a good person, now I can provide them with a place to go, I just need your cooperation. 】
River covered his eyes and said to himself: "It's easy to say, but this requires me to risk losing my job."
[Lille: If you lose your job, I will give you a job. 】
【River: Thanks, no need. 】
But isn’t this the reason for doing this?
Everyone regards their own affairs as more important than other people's affairs, but River is a little different.
River reconnects to the channel:
[River: Prepare to close the team. We will send professionals to handle the rest. 】
All the police officers who were still scanning the surroundings were stunned and looked at River.
As soon as River turned his back, Old Han screamed from behind: "Why are you so crazy!"
Bang!
The car door closed, and River was grabbed by Lao Han's shoulders and pulled back, and had to face his angry face.
But when he turned his head, River's attention was no longer on Old Han.
A luxury floating car is approaching in the sky.
[River: I take back what I just said. 】
I may really want to consider changing my job.
River put on his hat.
The man coming was Jefferson Peralez.
