Chapter 444: Closed Door
The nightclub in the next life is too lively.
The key is not that there are many people, but that since Lille came in, there are no small people here, which makes Rogge feel a little complicated——
On the one hand, everyone who comes is... It's a company executive. On the other hand, they are not looking for her.
Military Technology and Arasaka came together and left together.
But an old friend also came for a visit.
Contao Company sent someone to sponsor Lille again, this matter is a bit complicated.
[Little Octopus: Brother, the physical examination analysis report has come out, V’s nervous system is indeed regenerating . 】
This was very unexpected, and it directly gave Lille no reason to accept Contao's stingy sponsorship.
In most cases, adult nerve cells cannot regenerate. Once nerve cells die, they are permanently damaged.
This is a big part of the reason why V's Westin can't break through the 20% theoretical acceleration limit.
The last experience of cyberpsychosis burned a large part of the neurons, which will divert a lot of Sianwestan's computing power and strengthening current to other muscle areas to ensure that these necrotic nerves will not let her Problems such as hemiplegia and imprecise movements occur.
To put it simply, it is to convert the tolerance of nerve cells to current and other stimuli into functional compensation, so that the time-like effect cannot be further improved.
But during the battle with the full-body cyborg in the slaughterhouse, the little octopus discovered that V's limit seemed to have loosened, and Lille immediately asked Lao Wei to check V.
I found out this situation immediately after checking.
Kang Tao's proposal is also simple: help me experiment with the new version of the reality distortion chip and new technologies.
Even in the cyberpunk world, nerve damage is a very cutting-edge medical problem -
But it is not an incurable disease.
There is a way to permanently repair damaged nerves using nanorobots and nanomaterials, which is equivalent to replacing prosthetics at the cellular level.
But it is usually expensive and generally a long-term restoration project.
The most important thing is that this is a technology unique to a few Japanese medical giants.
Arasaka is one of them.
"Why, you also have this kind of technology?"
"This is a prototype chip, immature, but you are also perverts who insert everything into your body anyway, I guess you should It’s a dream come true.”
After saying that, he looked at the mechanical arm on Lille’s body. Obviously, this kind of weird prosthetic body that obviously changes the appearance of the body and is also a cheap mechanical appearance is not a glory in the upper class. something.
It’s equivalent to weird earrings, tattoos and the like in the Marvel world.
But the difference is that for the working people in the cyberpunk world, prosthetics are just tools for their work. The main reason for their strange shapes is that they are low-level products made on the black market or made by oneself.
In order to meet demand, sometimes something has to be lost.
Kangtao's chip is quite unique. The color of the appearance scan is slightly different from that of ordinary chips. If you observe it with a nanoscale scanner, you can see that there are some electrically controllable nanomaterials attached to it.
“This thing is like a capsule. It is inserted into the brain-computer interface. When the current flows into the nerves, the material in the capsule will be released. As the current attaches to the corresponding nerves, if everything is normal, the nerves will be in six Completed within a month”
The Kangtao representative who spoke had no intention of explaining the origin of the technology.
But Lille is 90% sure that this thing must be the technology they stole from Arasaka.
According to the original plot, they should have started contacting a senior engineer from Arasaka by now.
Seeing that Lille was not wavering, the representative in black put on sunglasses arrogantly: "This is a prototype. If this technology is stabilized, it may be able to save your life. Think about it yourself. ”
In fact, Lille was asked to experiment on V.
A person with a significantly higher response value means that her nervous system is more active and complex than ordinary people, and she is a better experimental subject.
Lille's short-lived existence is no secret in Night City, and it's clear that Kontao sees this as a win-win.
But
The man in black had just stood up and was about to leave in style, when a voice came from behind him.
“Get the hell out of here.”
Who knows how many pitfalls the company will bury in "gifts"?
Crack.
The unlocked box was smashed on the ground, trying not to break out the chip.
Representative Kangtao’s face turned dark immediately. The bodyguard at the door also became serious when he saw this scene, and there was a slight buzzing under his suit.
"Bedding Boy" "Ahem." Rogge leaned against the wall opposite the door, "Go this way for the exit."
The representative made a gesture to the bodyguard at the door. The bodyguard picked up the things and the group left.
Roger said to Lille in the box: "You have such a bad temper? Isn't this a good opportunity to make a fortune?"
"Not everything can be made." Mechanical Arm opened the carry-on equipment box next to him, Lille took out a shot of neuroactive agent and injected it directly into an opening next to the brain-computer interface.
This is a newly installed prosthetic body. The special pressure pipe structure will accelerate the diffusion of drugs into the body, enhance the efficacy of the drug, and shorten the effective time.
Extreme Metal Unrestricted Racing is very large, and the various gangs that work for it have their own styles. It is quite a brain-consuming task to control it well.
Now that he is receiving signals from various urban areas at the same time, the data density is not high, but sometimes this kind of thing that cannot be thought of in code consumes brain power.
The most important thing is that there is also a lot of work going on in the other world.
Seeing Lille like this, Rogge suddenly said: "When I first saw you, you were still a sick and fleshy man, and you have become like this in a few months. You are really desperate, even if It’s hard for people like you to live long without illness.”
“Sometimes it’s not a good thing to live too long.”
"I don't know how many people agree with what you said, but many people have begun to join the desperate ranks."
Rogge is well-informed. If Lille is the most open-minded among the gangs, she He is the most open-minded among the middlemen.
Without the hindrance of the company, once the two parties cooperate, it is quite easy to collect a lot of information.
For example, how booming the black market and black clinic business have been recently.
It must be said that if the company and others who did not intend to participate were still full of doubts about this plan at the beginning, they have now learned to embrace Burger King——
Although this money is bloody, it is so profitable.
After transmitting the data, Rogge asked Lille a question: "You have done so much, why on earth? Seeing you like this, you don't really want to obey and help the company, just to find excitement? Or? .Capture AI?”
“The information is quite good.” Put away the equipment and walk out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the box, the nightclub suddenly became a little quiet -
To be precise, the human voice stopped.
A long alien-shaped mechanical arm, a black heat-dissipating leather jacket, and two magical boxes containing countless tools that can turn defeat into victory.
Liel looked at Rogge, the current Queen of the Afterlife, a mercenary who once shocked the City of Night.
Time has not let her go. When the giant wheel of time passes by, she also grows old.
This kind of aging is not only reflected in the aging look on the face and the white hair.
Liel looked at the Queen of the Afterlife and smiled: "Of course it is to be the big brother."
Watching Leal leave the nightclub, the sounds of people talking filled the manic rock music again.
Rogg sat on the bar where he had not sat for a long time -
When she was a mercenary a long time ago, she often sat here.
The bartender Claire looked at her boss with a little restraint: "A drink?"
"Have a drink. Johnny Silverhand."
The charisma that Lille showed, she also had an old friend from long ago who could do it -
Thousands of people came to a concert, and the Arasaka Tower was filled with water.
But
Now this one is much more difficult to understand than Johnny.
If Johnny relied on something mysterious like "charm" to achieve all that at once, what Leal is doing now is even more unpredictable. He is not like Johnny. Wild and individual.
"But if you just look at the current situation, it's even crazier." Roger drank the cocktail in one gulp and looked at Claire, "By the way, did he keep his own recipe?"
"Jack did, V also has one. But it was probably a joke, but he never said it himself.”
“I’m really curious about what recipe he would leave behind.”
