I'm not a cyberpsycho

Chapter 38 Blood Rain Part 1

The company's main task today is to ensure that Shiba's on-machine surgery is successfully completed.

In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Li Pan gritted his teeth and got a set of level 5 chips, and then hurried back to Warehouse No. 7, fully armed and standing guard as a bodyguard for Shiba.

Fortunately, after sealing the entrance to the sewer, no cockroaches, rats, whirlpool gangs or the like came to cause trouble. Moreover, the operation was quite successful. You get what you pay for. It was really cool to have a company foot the bill. We hired a top-notch surgical team directly from a private hospital to perform the surgery from day to night. They were able to transform this mortal girl from The flesh-and-blood body is elevated to a true electronic soul.

From today on, there is one less ordinary hacker girl in the world, and TheM Company’s technology department has added a new brain-computer processing center.

Brain in a vat, cyber ghost, cyberman god.

Big snake. Eighteen.

In fact, what Gao Tianyuan did by stripping out the human brain and canning it, uploading the consciousness of the god, and copying the personality of the dead are all similar to uploading intelligent UI technology. From a legal perspective, it is a black technology that repeatedly tests the boundaries of the ethics committee and the taboo edge of AI super artificial intelligence technology.

As for the inside story of this, Li Pan didn't know much about it. The history he learned in the military academy was roughly like this.

In an era when humans were still confined to Earth 0, human countries were competing to develop super technologies such as quantum computers, interstellar travel, and biological evolution, and finally developed super artificial intelligence that evolved independently.

Then, just like the plot of many movies, the omnic crisis broke out and the intelligent humans rebelled. After a long and cruel war, the old world order collapsed, and the final winner was also eliminated, and the company took control of everything.

But the fear of artificial intelligence rebellion still exists in everyone's heart, so the Scientific Ethics Committee was established.

This committee is composed of the top and most authoritative wise men of human civilization, involving all walks of life. They all have many years of experience in theoretical application, a large number of apprentices, deep social relationships and transcendent status, and serve as various professors, research deans, and technical directors. scholars and experts in key positions such as business consultants.

The main task of the Ethics Committee is to evaluate the endless variety of ultra-new technologies developed by Zhutian Company. Every once in a while, or after a new technology breakthrough reaches mass production, updating the technology rating will always arouse Zhutian's Large-scale market shocks.

The technology rating comprehensively evaluates the hard technology content and performance indicators of a product, which has important reference value for the tax bureau and the company.

Levels 1, 2, and 3 are the most basic civilian technologies. They no longer charge patent fees, allow anyone to mass produce, and have the lowest tax rates and profits.

Levels 4, 5 and 6 are consumer products, basically level 4 for military use, level 5 for corporate use, and level 6 for luxury customized products. Tax rates are gradually increased.

Levels 7, 8, and 9 are super black technologies that the Ethics Committee focuses on. They are not affordable for personal consumption and are all traded goods at the company level.

Level 7 technology has the potential to cause the extinction of species at the plane level. Level 8 technology is almost the trump card in corporate wars, while level 9 technology is the most cutting-edge and most super technology. Even the ethics committee needs to study and verify its mechanism. , in order to determine its classification.

To a certain extent, the monster business conducted by Monster Company is actually a level 7, 8 or 9 transaction.

Artificial intelligence AI technology is a dangerous technology that is explicitly prohibited from research by the ethics committee.

Now the popular brain plug chip is allowed, just the so-called IS intelligent assistance.

It only has artificial intelligence-level computing power but no final decision-making power. It must be authorized by citizens to execute orders.

Therefore, ‘people’ have become the shortcomings and bottlenecks of the entire system.

No matter how awesome and advanced your smart assistant is, if you can't stand the user of it, it's just the wisdom of a mortal.

Therefore, many companies like Gao Tianyuan are secretly developing UI technology, brain-computer hubs, uploading intelligence, uploading and transforming human brains, and getting infinitely closer to "artificial" intelligence from "humans" to make up for the shortcomings of "humans" .

Of course, UI and AI are not the same thing after all.

Although it has broken away from human limits to some extent, its computing power has reached its limit. But after all, the brain in the vat is still a mortal body, and it still has a lifespan. In addition to the various psychological and physical problems that may result from long-term use of nutrient solutions without the body.

Each brain computer must regularly report to the local security bureau for deviation value testing, and at the same time undergo surprise inspections by the Earth 0 Public Security Bureau from time to time. Once the deviation value is found to be out of specification, it will be forcibly disconnected and scrapped.

Moreover, the Ethics Committee will also send people to inspect and recycle, and track the whereabouts of each brain machine to ensure that the company does not create any dead body UI. In fact, the brain in the vat is dead, but on the surface, the program is used to simulate the personality. In fact, Secretly, we are still engaged in AI technology research and development.

If you can accept these disadvantages, you can be completely free in this vast and boundless QVN network.

Although the final body is restrained in the brain computer, your mind, your soul, can travel in the sea of ​​​​electronics and become the true master of the Internet and the new god of the cyber world.

As long as you have the power and money, you can download and transmit your consciousness to any world, any plane, and any prosthetic container at will. Scientific time travel and cyber advent.

In a sense, he has truly ascended to become a god, which is quite enviable.

"Discovered a new local network, TheM exclusive communication channel, whether to access it."

The message from Fuxi interrupted Li Pan's thinking. The Eighteen Big Snake should be officially launched and the establishment of the local TheM company's private network has been completed.

"Put on the channel, Eighteen, how do you feel?"

Then Rama next to him made a sound of eighteen,

“Wow, that’s awesome!”

‘Rama’ jumped up like a monkey, jumping up and down in the computer room and warehouse, and then came back with a Thomas 360-degree aerial spin and a triple axel.

Li Pan was speechless, "Are you... hacking Rama?"

Shiba checked Rama's prosthetic body, activated all the plug-ins, the lights on his body flashed, and the prosthetic body was overloaded. He jumped up and down on the steel frame of the warehouse, and casually lifted up a large number of container ammunition boxes and drones. Play, like a cyberpsychosis attack.

"It's okay, it's okay! I made an agreement with Rama! Lend me the prosthetic body to play with for two days, and help him prepare a special combat OS. After QVN is connected to the Internet in a few days, I can buy the exclusive prosthetic body online by myself. .”

"Okay, don't mess with Rama."

"Oh oh oh!"

Eighteen jumped up and down, running around like a wild monkey. Maybe she didn't really want to be a canned person, she just wanted to be a cyber god, she just wanted a healthy body that could run around.

So Li Pan continued to guard the rooftop while connecting to the Internet through the newly built company server channel.

Shiba didn't stop to play. In fact, her computing power and brainpower were at their peak now. She could control Rama's prosthetic body and play wildly, while also putting the link of Baqi's snake head online and exploring the 0791 local network. , collected massive amounts of information and transmitted it to Li Pan's Fuxi 15.

Even though Warehouse No. 7 seems peaceful and calm, riots have begun in the Night City.

Probably in order to control the situation and keep the young people on the Third Street calm, the Ye Group edited the weather in the Night City and artificially sent down heavy rains to disperse the crowds on the streets.

But it's of no use.

Because the signal sent by the cyberpsychosis massacre yesterday was too obvious, even the Uzumaki gang lovers and the Red Tengu three-headed dogs could react to it.

As long as the public safety network is not online, the entire Night City will be a war zone where you can do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about being caught on surveillance video to collect evidence. Any grievances over the years can be settled at this time.

So at this moment, various organized and unorganized people took to the streets despite the heavy rain, made purchases for zero yuan, wiped out their grudges, and began to smash, smash, loot and burn on a large scale.

When the entire Night City, large and small, fell into disorderly riots, the NCPA, which was already useless, became even more useless.

Most of the NCPAs were hiding in the police station and did not even dare to go home. The entire police force from the branch near Warehouse No. 7 even shamelessly came to Li Pan and his family to stand guard outside their door to help hide from the rain and rub shoulders with CSI's personal The security forces and the company's newly upgraded automatic defense system saved their lives.

This is true for the NCPA, not to mention other places. All companies have also activated their guard, summoned private security forces such as CSI, prioritized the protection of important assets, guarded important areas in wealthy neighborhoods and downtown corporate parks, and responded to gang vendettas and gangs in other places. The riots and riots have been completely ignored.

So Li Pan remotely controlled the drone and wandered around the nearby blocks, buzzing through the heavy rain. Those tofu blocks were as messy and crowded as stacks of stacked town blocks, listening to the neon phantom of advertising lights. In the meantime, from the continuous rain, the source signals of the clicking, banging gunshots were isolated and analyzed from time to time.

The monsters and monsters are having a carnival in the rain.

Speaking of which, there are some parallel worlds where, in order to relieve people's pressure, the company will deliberately shut down the security system and disconnect it once a year in the name of regular maintenance, so that residents can kill each other and vent their anger without fear of the system's monitoring. It is said that this can not only reduce the criminal population, create jobs, promote arms sales, facilitate public management, but also make money by making movies.

But this is only limited to those worlds that are completely controlled by the company. No matter how much the people at the bottom make a fuss, even if they burn down your company building and pull the fleet into low-Earth orbit, they will still go back to work honestly the next day. .

But in places like 0791, where there are still a large number of corporate remnant rebels, the situation is much more complicated.

This is about the definition of CSSF Citizen Star Fleet.

In theory, Starfleet belongs to all human citizens.

Because according to the rules of the public security system, citizenship can only be obtained by serving, so every universe inhabited by humans has its own citizen fleet, providing every human citizen with the opportunity to "obtain citizenship through service."

If an indigenous person like Li Pan is from a poor family and cannot afford to attend a private college, but does not want to wait for more than ten years to wait for a free spot to attend a public university with compulsory education, he or she can sign a contract with the military and go to a military academy to receive education.

In exchange for equal value, they are required to serve under the military system, drafted during wartime, and as reserves in peacetime. After all, if you want to be an officer and get military pay, it depends on your family background. A mortal like Li Pan can only be an engineer like a spider repairer under the constraints of gravity.

But there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's just a bet against the army. If you lose the bet, your life is at stake. If you win the bet, wouldn't it be nice to get a college degree and find a job?

So this is the current problem of 0791. By this generation, the military expenses of CSSF fleets in all planes have long been reimbursed by local companies. In other words, Starfleet has long since transformed from a fleet of all citizens to a private fleet of plutocrats.

The officers of 0791 Starfleet are all Takamagahara's old subordinates from top to bottom. Although each company also has various corporate fleets, security companies, mercenary groups, and military contractors.

But what if there are remnants of the Red Tengu in the 0791 Star Fleet, and they really take advantage of the security system being offline to throw a bunch of nuclear bombs, satellites, moons and other messy things at the Night City to clean up the ground? Think about it Yes, it's quite big.

In short, according to the analytical intelligence returned from the Eighteen Scanning Network, Nightcrawler and Red Tengu were having a fierce exchange of fire in the Tokyo underground city.

This time the three-headed dog was not directly involved. After all, this armed force was also beyond specifications. Moreover, it is directly under the command of the Security Bureau, but must be supervised by the security system before it can act.

Now that the network is disconnected, all combat teams have been recalled urgently to protect the safety of the 0791 Security Bureau and the leaders.

And without the Security Bureau pointing fingers and looking after them, the vampires naturally no longer have to pretend to be good citizens and civilized people.

So after reaching a verbal agreement with Li Pan, he became the real owner of the Night City. The Aemilius, Cornelius, and Fabius clans, the night knights under the three blood princes, and the fighting vampires under other clan elders all set out collectively to attack the old capital area and Chitian. The gangs involved with the dog, as well as the underground city sewers, launched a large-scale crackdown.

Blood for blood, indiscriminate attacks to retaliate against attacks in the heart of the city.

With the cooperation of Orochi Shiba, Li Pan also hid in the dark to watch Night Walker's fighting skills and collect the actual combat power of Ye's group.

Most of these night walkers are level five enhanced people, killing machines with super strong physique, super acceleration, guns and swords and various combat specializations, but the knights of the three clans also have their own specializations and strengths.

For example, the Knights of Cornelius, represented by K, are relatively classical knights who pursue pure battlefield tactics with both speed and strength. Especially after wearing the blood knight armor, which is a specialty of their Ye clan's holy war equipment, they look like a knight. Just like the metal cans of the classical era, they wield various classical swords, halberds, heavy swords, or modern firearms such as machine guns, shotguns, and rocket launchers. They use their weapon skills to crush and break through the enemy's formation from the front.

The knights of the Fabius clan are closer to enhanced cyborgs. They generally do not wear heavy armor or use weapons, but directly transform in stages two and three, growing huge flesh wings and becoming super cyborgs. The giant bat monster, or something like a blood-sucking monster, rushes into the enemy formation like a violent and out-of-control beast, destroying everything and tearing all opponents into pieces.

As for the knights of the Aemilius clan, they are much more elegant. They rely on acceleration and agility to stay away from danger, wander around the edges of the battlefield, control various automated weapons, drones, sniper rifles, or coordinate with hacker flow electronic warfare technology. Fight together.

This seems to be quite different from the other two knights in strength. I am mainly an auxiliary and not specialized in fighting. However, Li Pan also discovered that these Aemilius knights are often surrounded by a large number of professional mercenary bodyguards and blood servants. With the Blood Warrior's command, coupled with level five acceleration and various firearms and prosthetics, it is still extremely difficult to fight even in a one-on-one fight.

Moreover, Ye's Knights do not fight alone. After operating for so many years, they have naturally bribed and supported a large number of immigrant gangs. Immigrants such as the Lovers Gang, with the support and mobilization of Ye's, have also attacked the old The Oriental underworld stronghold in the metropolitan area launched an attack.

In comparison, the opponents of Ye's Group were miserable. I don't know if they played a turn-based system or something. You hit me one at a time. I didn't see many Red Sky Dogs and Li Pan, and none of the ninjas were seen. I didn’t see it, and I don’t know if the main force went to protect the big guys. Anyway, those who were massacred by blood tonight were mainly the Oriental gangs in the old capital area.

The Bee Beard Party, the Shanling Society, the Dongcheng League, the Tianlong Gang, and the Shura Group. These are all gangs dominated by locals. In the past, they relied on the backing of chaebols to bully immigrants, collect debts for the chaebols, and force demolitions and pimps. , in the final analysis, they are still in the Gao Tianyuan sequence, the lowest level of trash fish, just a small force that does dirty work for the company. They probably don’t even have serious level five equipment. How can they withstand the raids launched by the Ye family?

Li Pan piloted the drone to cruise along the streets of the old capital area. He saw blocks, apartments, and clubs filled with corpses of gangsters. Some of them were instantly massacred and torn into pieces by night walkers. Some of them were shot into pieces after someone drove past them.

Tattooed corpses and garbage piled up into hills, blocking the gutters and sewers. The continuous heavy rain splashed the smelly recycled seawater on the streets, forming rapid creeks on the streets, washing away the blood.

After a while, Kotaro also linked into the channel to report.

"Manager, something happened. The Red Tengu launched a mutiny. The Akechi family was attacked and has been exterminated."

Well, before the bones of the Oda family were even cold, Minister Fubi was exterminated by his own human race. It seems that Takamagahara is really about to collapse completely.

Judging from the information compiled by Kotaro, these five people had already had objections, and had already had different intentions when they discovered that the Oda family was actually exterminated.

Because the turtle of the Mingzhi family occupies the center and is the number one butler, he first contacted the Ye Group to seek cooperation, and contacted other board members to try to obtain a majority of the shares, vote on the board of directors, and seize Gao Tianyuan's supreme power.

But someone took advantage of it, provoked the Red Tengu, and slammed the shit basin on the turtle's head, claiming that all the dirty things were done by this bald man, that he betrayed Takamagahara, that he murdered Lord Oda, and that he was the one who did it. Working with vampires.

At that moment, the Red Tengu's Youthful Faction exploded, and they immediately said, "Malu Yelang! Honor the emperor and fight the barbarians! Punish the traitors of the country!" They defeated the Third Company, launched an armed rebellion against the Mingzhi family, and killed the whole family of this 'rebellious minister and traitor'. The sky lantern was lit, and the first one was eliminated.

"Okay, now there's something good to watch... I'll investigate again and report again."
