Chapter Ninety-Six: The Synthetic
K and the two fleas were stealth reconnaissance in front, and Li Pan followed behind unhurriedly, serving as a drone operator, responsible for drone control and quantitative analysis of environmental data, and providing battlefield data support to K, so that she could fully cope with possible battles.
There is no net-drop signal underground, and K himself is better at gun fighting than drones, so he needs Li Pan, a drone sapper, to follow the team and keep a distance from the flea type of near-field communication link.
In fact, this kind of tactical team, it is best to have a hacker to defend against electronic warfare, but good hackers are indeed too difficult to find, don't look at the eighteenth stinky little ghost is annoying, but she is a scarce resource. This time he and K used the encrypted channel to act, without the support of the eighteenth, Li Pan was quite frightened.
But fortunately, the flea itself has an extremely excellent military ECCM and ICE defense system, so Li Pan doesn't have to worry about the werewolves living in the sewers, and he has the ability to hack into the drone and burn his brain by the way.
But seriously, hacker technology is really Li Pan's current shortcoming, this time he was almost killed by the hacker of the red dog, or I have to update the built-in ICE and firewall software, but it's a pity that HT Chaos Technology's network security service is monthly, and the personal economic package is 199,000 a month, and it's not as good as the technical support provided by the eighteenth, it's really chicken......
"K, I've tracked down the genetic information of the werewolf and marked it for you."
"Roger."
This mission is quite simple, Li Pan only needs to follow the military academy training, operate drones to carry out battlefield infiltration, front-line reconnaissance, and fire support tasks. So whether the target is a werewolf or a red tengu or some target, find it, lock on, confirm the command, fire, it's as simple as that.
Of course, in most cases, unless it is a special mission, the sapper is not guilty of following the squad. A sapper can be responsible for maintaining an entire company, or even a drone for a tactical unit at the battalion level.
However, unlike those marines, the front-line sappers are armed to the teeth with military prosthetics and first-aid implants to save their lives, on the contrary, they also need to carry a variety of engineering equipment and replacement parts to urgently maintain various types of drones, with a particularly large signal radius, which is often the priority target.
And to maintain high-tech equipment, there are strict requirements for the academic ability of engineers, but at the same time the salary is not very high, I have never heard of engineers can be promoted from the officer sequence, the more powerful the technical backbone is the more detained by the army, and the technical non-commissioned officers work to death, so most people refuse to stay in the army after serving, and are poached to be engineers, after all, although the factory is very tired, but at least the overtime pay will be a little more.
In short, learning machinery is so hard, tired, poor and miserable......
"Lee, is there a sign that a living werewolf has been found?"
Li Pan came back to his senses, retrieved the signal of the drone's repenetration, and drew a three-dimensional map of the nearby terrain and sent it to K.
"This is indeed a werewolf nest, with a lot of DNA information, about twenty or more people, but there are no other activity targets other than cockroach rats."
K was taken aback, "Twenty? So much? But where did they go? ”
Li Pan checked the exit, "Did you go out to hunt for food?" Or is the nest abandoned? ”
"At times like this...... No......"
K obviously didn't expect to pounce, in fact, her guess was right, according to common sense, the white head outside the sparse fight for a long time, a sky city has been smashed down, and now the security bureau night dog NCPA is all over the street to catch the red dog, these werewolves are not staying in the lair, idle eggs are hurting and running out to shake around?
But the problem is that there are really no people and no wolves in the lair.
Li Pan suggested, "Expand the search radius and try to parse biological information for pursuit?" Or continue to ambush here? ”
K thought about it for a while, but still stuck to the original plan.
"This is their main nest, and they will definitely come back if nothing else, ambush."
Li Pan doesn't care, K is a professional wolf hunter, of course he trusts her judgment, so he manipulated the drone to set up an ambush in the nest.
Who would have thought that there would be an accident without an accident. This squatting squatted all night, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, K spoke first,
"Retreat."
"Huh? Is this withdrawn? At least three days in ambush, right? It's okay, I don't get much paid for my absences anyway. ”
Li Pan is not joking, it is quite common for the army to squat for a few days and nights in the swamp and jungle in the ice and snow.
K was silent for a moment,
"Something is wrong, this is not the first time, I know that there must be someone inside the Night Clan who is watching my actions and giving a message to the werewolves, so I only looked for you, but they still slipped away in advance.
I thought about it, and this time I knew that I had transferred the flea type, and there were no more than ten people who left the team, but their authority was too high, and if there were werewolf moles among them, then the problem would not be something that I could handle as a knight......"
Li Pan thought for a while,
"You're being watched so closely, don't come to the scene, and then there will be a nest to send me the coordinates directly. Make sure to help you catch a head. ”
"Looks like that's the only way to do it...... I'll keep these two fleas in the garage, and the next time you find a werewolf lair, remember to deploy them for fire support. ”
"Uh-oh."
K didn't do anything, after all, there were only a few big knights in the Night Clan, and there were so many opponents, and the spy agents and hacker intelligence dealers all over the city were staring at her, and she didn't have to think about covert operations at all.
Although I didn't hit a shot, it's normal to find a mission monster when doing a mission, and the old hunter will return empty-handed, and the angler also has a time when he can't catch anything but fish, so this time it's a date with K to go down the sewer.
But it's all here, and K also brought Li Pan 700,000 yuan by the way, didn't this just be settled, she also received her salary, and paid the balance of the batch of refrigerated blood in installments.
The share of the other members directly took the account from Panlong to avoid taxes, so that Li Pan's personal account also had 2.4 million. Li Pan felt that he could go to the prosthetic supermarket again to strengthen a wave and insert the anti-gravity spine of the orange suit.
And after using it in the past few days, Li Pan feels that the cost performance of bulletproof armor is still quite high, 100,000 yuan a life, or a wave, in addition, you can also consider optical stealth or something.
So the two went back the same way, and Li Pan asked K if he had any recommended models.
Instead, K advises him to stop pretending to be prosthetic.
"I didn't have any implants when I first met you, and the number of ontology transformation and enhancement in the past two months was too frequent, right, aren't you really worried about cyber psychosis?
If you must strengthen your combat readiness, I suggest you customize a set of SBS armor, or simply buy a dedicated combat skeleton. At least it won't affect the body due to excessive modification.
By the way, I heard L say, wasn't the construction of Panlong in Sky City commended by the group this time, if you are interested, I will help you apply for a prosthetic body of the blood clan? ”
This Li Pan really didn't expect this kind of opportunity,
"Night Knight? Are you like this? Wait, you're going to transform me into a Bloodline? ”
K shakes his head,
"Of course not, most of the components of Ancilla's Blood Knight's combat prosthetic body are imported from the original plane, and they need to be specially customized and deployed according to each person's genes after being promoted to knight.
The transformation of Fledgling's first embrace is also a genetic custom surgery, which can only be performed by members of the Night Group, and the quota needs to be approved by the Prince.
If you're willing to resign from TheM, I can help you apply and introduce an elder to help you get started, but I don't have that qualification myself.
The Overnight Clan also had a special Blood Clan Battle Prosthetic for sale. Do you know the 'Sorrow of Blood'? ”
Li Pan remembered,
"Oh, it's the cyber psychosis of the Bloodline. Once attacked, it will be swallowed by the memories of others, and even completely lose itself, becoming a blood beast that runs out of control and rampant, and must be cured with the Blood Grail. ”
K stared at him with a frown,
"Why do you know so well? Did you look it up on the Internet again? No, it's not on the Internet, is it? ”
Li Pan hurriedly coughed cough,
"Ahem, our company has a record of the Blood Grail."
K stared at him suspiciously for a while, and didn't ask much,
"Since you know I won't explain much, anyway, the blood clan can't really live forever, and it's common to change the prosthetic.
If the 'Bloodthirsty' gets out of control because of the 'Blood Sorrow', we will transform into a 'Blood Beast' and sell it as a biological weapon.
In addition to the 'Blood Sorrow', some 'Neonate Child's children were growing up unable to control their power and went crazy.
Some 'Ancilla Bloodsmen' are severely wounded and dying in battle, or are executed for violating the precepts, or are promoted to knights to obtain a new prosthetic body, and their main body will be replaced.
In the rare case of 'Elder Elder' being sealed away due to a failed political struggle.
In short, depending on the severity of the situation, the person may be banished, imprisoned, sealed, executed, etc. And the remains of their righteousness can be sold as commodities.
The 'Bloods' who use these second-hand 'prosthetics' are collectively referred to as the 'Anarch Rebels', after all, they are only bought to use as a biological prosthetic, and they are not really loyal to the Night Clan and the Council.
Of course, the 'Blood Sorrow' cannot be cured without the Holy Grail, so most of the 'Mad Blood Beasts' are generally only raised as biological weapon synthetic beasts. The number of 'traitors' that can be used as righteous remains is still very small, and if there are clean prosthetic bodies, most of them are digested by the human cadres within the group.
But isn't the battle with Takamagahara fierce recently, and a lot of people have died on our side, and some orders are extra, so if you're lucky, you might be able to pick a special battle skeleton.
Although the bloodline prosthetic remains sold by the Night Clan will be genetically adjusted, and cannot be strengthened over time like the real bloodline, and will apply the bionic prosthetic policy, there are regular quarantine requirements and mandatory scrapping time limits, and some custom genetic weapons cannot be used, but the strength of the body itself is still much stronger than that of ordinary androids.
Moreover, in the plane under the Ye Clan, the prosthetic body of the blood clan is used, and there is no need to pay additional prosthetic purchase tax and otherworldly creature insurance. There is also a discount on the annual quarantine maintenance fee. ”
"Wow, the battle remains of the Blood Clan, it sounds good, how much does it cost?"
"It depends on the family to which the remains belong and the specific circumstances at the time of death, but the 'Ancilla Blood Servant' is basically a fifth-level enhancement person, and the internal price should be within 20 million.
You just use it to make a backup prosthesis to avoid the risk of cyberpsychosis, and if you do the prosthetic modification yourself, a level 4 like 'Neonate Child' is more cost-effective, and five million is enough.
If I am interested, I will take a commission of 10%, and I can deduct it from the remaining amount of refrigerated blood. I also have second-hand coffins that can be sold to you. ”
Wow, it's so cheap, and the android prosthesis is almost at this price.
In fact, when it comes to androids, in this era, in a sense, pure humans have come to the end of evolution.
Although those chaebols can live almost infinitely as long as they have money, due to the past wars, those elves, demons, orcs, insects, and people who have evolved superpowers on their own have been treated as wild animals and pests, and they have been completely wiped out.
The technology of human autonomous genetic mutation and evolution has also been sealed by the ethics committee, and it can be said that the door to individual evolution has been closed.
But there's nothing to be ashamed of, from the level of civilization evolution, there must be trade-offs and specializations.
Now the mainstream upgrade direction of human beings is Cyberghost, which is paired with synthetic body.
Of course, there are various divergent lines in this general direction.
The current prevalent in the 0791 plane is the Cyborg cyborg, which is the so-called cybernetic organism, which is equivalent to standing at the crossroads of divergent routes.
For example, even if Li Pan is a standard Cyborg now, he can not only use a chip to connect to the Internet, but also enhance the implant on the basis of the ontology, and at the same time cultivate the "Nine Yin True Scripture" for biological evolution, which highlights that Lao Tzu wants it all.
At this intersection, if you evolve in the direction of cyber, it will end up like eighteen, a typical ghost in shell, directly into the canning machine, intelligent upload, soul electronic, consciousness networking, as long as there is a backup server, it doesn't matter what the body in the real world is.
If you want to take an 'evil path' and go in the direction of genetic mutation, it is to connect the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to the end, and the nine turns will become a candle dragon. It may be similar to the nature of the blood clan's 'Blood Sorrow' losing control and turning into a blood beast.
Of course, there is also the direction of 'reincarnation', which is to change synths like K.
Not only are robot intelligent people artificial people, but these cosmic people from other worlds, werewolves, blood clans, can all be regarded as androids, carbon-based synthesizers.
Unlike the Eighteen Shell Ghosts, this route is equivalent to not treating QVN as a final home and lair, but only a temporary bridge, abandoning the fragile human body and directly reincarnating into those man-made, stronger, better, and more perfect synthetic bodies.
It can be said that this is the mainstream technology that the top Zhutian companies are currently researching.
It's a pity that 0791 does not have mass-production-level bionic technology and enterprises, and the Oda family's Heavenly Demon God project was not finally completed because of the defeat, but also due to the accumulation in the early stage, Gao Tianyuan has developed a large number of implant technology to realize the mass production of some prosthetic cabbage prices, which makes the 0791 plane have the conditions to appear a large number of cyber people, of course, due to the lack of a stable synthesis system, the accessories are incompatible, resulting in cyber psychosis is also particularly serious.
At the same time, this also causes those synthetic androids with complete systems to be imported from other worlds, with high import taxes, mandatory scrapping deadlines, biological quarantine costs, and if there is no designated 4S store maintenance center in the local area, special genetic biological cabins must be purchased.
So in this way, if you can get a mass-produced prosthetic body at the internal price of the blood clan, you can also save a lot of money in follow-up maintenance, and you really earn it.
But in this way, the Night Clan has also died a lot recently......
So Li Pan also reached an agreement with K to engage in a rebellious synthesis of the blood clan, after all, his line highlights a 'Lao Tzu is all or'.
And now that the sky has changed, 0791 will be the territory of the Ye Clan in the future, and there is a bloody corpse, so it will be more convenient to come out to do tasks in the future. You can take any dirty work and rotten goods.
However, if you want to use the second prosthetic, not to mention the system processing chip or something, you have to upgrade it. There are also some specialized equipment that also needs to be purchased.
For example, the virtual biological cabin used to save the body after replacing the body is equivalent to the QVN network drop game machine, where the body is placed in the cabin and bubbled with LCL maintenance liquid, and remotely controlled through QVN, just like the remote control of a remote-controlled car.
This thing is also quite expensive, the prosthetic control cabin of the fifth-level technology is less than a million, of course, it is not without that kind of super miniaturization, it can be directly implanted in the skull, it can be activated at any time, and the implant control chip controlled on both sides, but it is a sixth-level product with a price starting at eight figures, and the import tax has to be 200 percent, basically only the sky people can afford it, so there is no need to think about it.
Besides, you can't put such a big machine in a suburban apartment, can you? But fortunately, I bought a factory in the North District before, and I can also renovate a basement for prosthetic replacement, and the second prosthesis can also be used for corporate asset reimbursement and tax credit......
In short, you can spend as much money as you want these days.
"Boss, 01044 has arrived, waiting for you in the manager's office."
Climbed out of the sewer and K respectively, just in time for the rush hour at work, Li Pan had just squeezed into the subway chain to surf the Internet, and Ah Qi called over.
"Oh, what about the ACA kid?"
"I was practicing with Rama in the morning, and Master Liu was watching."
"Okay, let's come, let her wait."
"In addition, the principal of the Five Cars Academy, the agent of the Security Bureau, the president of Fujido Industries, the Knight Chief of the Night Clan, and the lawyer of the Heaven Group are also here, and they are lining up in the living room, the company coffee is not enough, can you bring some by the way......"
“…… What the hell? Won't they call ahead to make an appointment? ”
"Oh, the sales of the TSC Tianhan Starship, the lady of the Akiyama Dokan, and the female general of Saitoya also called to make an appointment to visit, when do you see when you are free?"
Wow, isn't it just a Sky City, isn't it just that you were notified and commended by the Security Bureau, you can be so stammered, and suddenly you will become fragrant?
"Let the business take care of it! Why do you let me do it alone! Let's just say that I will visit back one by one, if I am not in a hurry, try to persuade a few to go back, and the rest will have to wait, line up one by one! ”
Li Pan was also very helpless, he just crawled out of the sewer, and now he is wearing a camouflage uniform to squeeze the subway, his body is covered with wolf dung from the dungeon, cough cough, biological genetic information, and the surrounding social animals are covering their noses and glaring at him, anyway, it is not the kind of state suitable for meeting guests.
But there is no way, but the formal wear was also sent to be washed, in order to maintain the image, Li Pan could only grit his teeth and spend 15,000 yuan to buy a cheap formal suit in the commercial street, and spent another 100 yuan to take a shower in the shopping mall fitness club, dressed like a real estate salesman.
Although it still smells a little, it can only be dealt with first.
