Chapter 504 Ether Grid System (Part 1)
[Ryan: Ten years ago, Night City was a free city, and all companies were basically on the same level, and there were no five giants like you can see today. 】
[Lian: If I have to say it, Ye's Group is considered a local snake, but there is no industry on the land. How much is the land worth? 】
[Ryan: In 2069, military technology launched the Unification War. In just one year, the metal torrent completely broke through the defense lines of the Free State Federation and reached Night City. ]
[Ryan: So, I approached Arasaka again. Some people called me Arasaka’s lackey because of this, but in fact this is untenable. 】
[Ryan: Because, I also brought in military technology. In order to check and balance military technology, I also brought in Zeta Technology and Pezo Chemical; in order to check and balance Arasaka, I also brought in Kang Tao and Adachi Kendachi.]< br>
[Ryan: As a city, Night City is very small. If you want to be independent, you have to eat more like a bitch. 】
[Ryan: If you eat one, you are a slave. If you can't do it to death, you will do it to death. You may die one day; eat several. If they do it, they should fight. ]
[Ryan: Then you saw today’s Night City—an international metropolis! 】
[Ryan: If you have been to other cities, you will understand what I say: if a place is free, it must be poor; if it looks rich, it must be. Guys like you will not be born. . 】
In Night City, the company's struggles are fierce yet restrained, complex yet direct.
It’s so intense that the lives of employees are threatened every minute, but it’s so restrained that before Burger King broke out, the heaviest unit here was just a lone wolf carrying a heavy machine gun.
Complexity refers to the fact that there is AI, there are laws, and there are "democratic elections" that are really meaningful. After all, in places like Atlanta, there will be no elections at all.
It is more democratic to choose from ten companies than to always choose from one company.
The company shed some scraps from its hands during the struggle. It was just these scraps that turned Night City into an international metropolis
Give mercenaries and street boys a real chance to become "big brothers".
[Ryan: I don’t know if you can understand me, but]
[Ryan: Help! 】
“Tsk, it sounds like he owes all of us what we are today. But why does he speak in such a down-to-earth manner, so different from what he says on TV?”
This passage This caused strong dissatisfaction from V.
In a place like Night City, which is like a shit basin, Ryan actually dared to claim credit.
As soon as he received the alarm, Bryce immediately left the next life -
Lille still had many questions to ask him, but now was obviously not the time.
This recording seems to have been prepared long ago. Ryan's tone is also very different from that on the TV show. I don't know if he specifically spoke in a down-to-earth tone.
This kind of "political technology" is no stranger to little people. Little people will feel familiar with the familiar tone. Sometimes people are very emotional.
But Ryan did do such "little people".
"I heard that he was from Heywood before. I always thought this was false, but now it sounds a bit like that."
In front of the bar, Jack held a cup in one hand. A burger and a high-energy drink in one hand, both of which are synthetic high-quality foods with 90% additives.
Food is broken down by stomach acid, and nutrients and energy are delivered to every cell.
These cells soaked in lizard serum begin to divide rapidly, and the body temperature rises extremely. The waste fluid excreted by the sweat glands will evaporate, and the body surface will be covered with a layer of white mist.
V changed out of his tattered clothes, and the worn parts of the prosthesis that were consumables were also replaced——
With a good prosthetic doctor and technical experts, high-strength prosthetic transformation The advantage was obvious, but at a glance, she and Jack were both in pretty good condition, and it didn't look like they had been engaged in a high-intensity battle all night.
V shrugged: So now we have to save this fat man, and I’m a little unhappy. "
Liel frowned and stared at the huge electronic control system hardware in front of him: "It's normal to be unhappy. ”
In the entertainment room, this place was originally used to house the pool table, but now it is occupied by a small octopus.
The three robotic arms were briefly repaired. Although the scratches and blackening on the surface caused by explosion, high pressure and collision could not be repaired, the overall function was still normal.
The most troublesome thing is barley.
As a vehicle AI, its body has been completely retracted into a black host box with a side length of no more than one meter, including a processor, running memory, external storage, input devices and mechanical outputs. arm.
But it was originally supposed to be equipped with an entire powerful electronic control panel and a complete electronic control system.
The power of Mackinac is based on fine control at the AI level, but now that control board has been completely burned out.
The three arms of the little octopus dragged the damaged circuit board, which made Lear frown a little - Ryan's current location is unknown, and Bryce is still investigating, but it is definitely not a place suitable for an underground gang like them to come and go openly. .
Just to capture Muramasa, an AI with some underground resources and mercenaries on hand, has to use all its strength.
What we have to face now is The AI that controls the Ye Group, a serious giant enterprise!
To rush forward in the current state is tantamount to courting death.
But the origin of this circuit board is quite complicated. It uses the technology of the official military standard, and it is not an ordinary military standard. It is a control platform jointly designed by Tingwei Company and Netherdog engineers for the next generation of military armored vehicles. Reliability and functionality.
Without this system, many of Damai’s functions would not be usable at all, and the legendary Mackinac would be just an iron box with ridiculously high horsepower and abnormally hard armor.
With only a few bodies, killing the company's defense forces can only happen in the game, and it is an entertainment part of the game.
Liel rubbed his brow——
What should I do? Complete repair is almost impossible, and the production of military-grade and custom-grade multi-dimensional stacked circuit boards takes days at the fastest.
The barley-black server was kept running aside.
In cyberspace, its image is that of an armored vehicle, completely modeled one-to-one according to its real-life image.
I have to say, it is really like making a car.
In Lear's sight, this armored vehicle composed of data streamers was lying quietly above the black server, quietly waiting for Lear to drive it away.
As an AI separated from the body of a small octopus, Lear can understand part of its frame, so its overall shape appears blue.
But the battle still caused the data in the server to change with the original model, gradually blending into parts that he couldn't understand, those red data structures that were anti-human logic.
Human data seems so logical in this space, but AI data seems very natural.
Naturally connected to barley's data structure.
Looking at these connection points, Lille suddenly thought of something:
Muramasa appeared here, but it was supported by a technology that was naturally suitable for his huge amount of data.
Electric current runs orderly in processors and circuit boards, transmits information, and controls electrical appliances. It is a logic designed by humans, but in essence.
If signals can propagate directly in the air
For AI For me, this is liberating.
In cyberspace, Lear woke up Muramasa.
[Lille: I have a commission, do it now, I want to transfer the car's AI to the transmitter. 】
Lear's words were quite vague. If a serious engineer heard it, he would probably not be able to turn his head around, and he would even secretly curse this person for not understanding technology.
Because this technology does not exist in reality.
But Muramasa understood immediately.
[Muramasa: I need a complete server for calculations, and...]
[Liel: The reward is that I can let you go free, of course, with conditions. 】
Muramasa is an AI, and money is not as meaningful to him as it is to humans.
But he does need money, and he needs the materials, equipment, and servers that money can bring
A condition that allows him to create freely.
AI’s first priority is survival; when the first priority is met, it begins to pursue meaning.
The first step in pursuing meaning is freedom, which is a concept that AI will definitely be attracted to.
But something unexpected happened to Lille:
[Muramasa: I don’t need this, I just need a second match with you. 】
[Muramasa: I will help you with the design, provided that you will compete with me again in the future. 】
Is there such a good thing?
Liel sighed silently, AI is really easy to deceive.
The little octopus suddenly made a face when looking at Lear's expression, and its tentacles began to retract from Muramasa's data body.
