Cyberpunk: 2075

"How's the chip reading going, T-BUG?"

Holding the last glass of orange juice brought out of the floating car, standing next to T-BUG sitting on the sofa, Karl looked at the data flow in the device in front of T-BUG.

As the only person in the team who knows hacking knowledge, Carl's hacking expertise is obviously focused on combat intrusion. He also knows a little about these specialized chip cracking, but he is too lazy to put in the effort and just throws it to T- when he comes back.

BUG.

She had no complaints about T-BUG who had to assist when she went out and had to crack the chip when she came back. However, the chip's built-in defense against ICE exceeded her expectations. It took a full ten minutes to crack it before she found some clues. After hearing Karl's words, she He opened his mouth and said:

"It's harder than expected. I don't know what's hidden inside. The ICE defense used for confidentiality is very complicated.

It is designed to kill someone who cracks it and directly destroys the data inside. Can you understand that a defensive ICE is not to prevent cracking, but to damage internal information. "

"I understand."

Karl nodded: "So how long will it take?"

"five."

"Five minutes?"

"Four."

"oh."

Carl understood instantly.

This co-author is almost cracked. Let’s talk about the difficulty to highlight how powerful I am.

Come on.

"There's no need to show off like that, T-BUG. No one in our team knows that you are the most awesome hacker in the entire Night City mercenary circle."

"If you don't tell me, how can you, a lazy guy, know how much effort I put into it."

T-BUG said angrily. Now everyone in the team except V who just joined knows the temper of this guy Carl. He is really lazy except for necessary things. Such time-consuming and labor-intensive things, come back. It was left to her, but it made her feel like Jack and Oliver were helping out in the kitchen when Carl was cooking.

"Well, don't worry about it. Hey, V, Jack, Oliver, come over and take a look. The T-BUG has been cracked."

"You were the one who memorized the whole journey because you were interested, and then hurriedly threw it to the T-BUG to crack when you came back?"

Jack said, walking over with a piece of pizza in his mouth. After a while, Oliver and V, who were also eating, also came over. The three of them looked at the ever-changing data flow, but they couldn't see it. clear.

"T-BUG, can you project the detailed information?"

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the three people, Karl spoke, and T-BUG nodded and changed the display method of the chip content.

After the picture and the text were displayed in front of V and three, V and three finally understood what the content of the chip was.

"This looks like a weapons introduction?"

Jack stared at the projected katana and said, "I remember that the source of this chip is a Japanese company.

Could it be that this is some kind of product promotion chip? "

"I guess this might be a little more powerful than you think, Jack."

Haosui knows technology. V took a quick look at the projection content inside and knew that this was definitely not a promotional chip, but:

"This looks like a series of weapon manufacturing templates?"

"Is it a weapon manufacturing template? Then this thing is incredible."

Oliver clicked his tongue: "I remember this thing may be a chip from KENDACHI, and KENDACHI is a company that specializes in manufacturing melee weapons and special chips. We won't get KENDACHI's internal production template, right? Then this thing How much can it be sold for?”

"I don't know how much it can be sold for, but this thing may not be as powerful as you think, Oliver. This is not a complete set, or in this chip, at least it is not a complete set. I took a look and found that there are only four weapons. template?"

V looked at it and said: "The neurotoxin knife, the electric shock katana, the serrated katana, and...: The thermal martial arts sword?"

"As expected of a Japanese company, four templates and three samurai swords."

After Carl solved the puzzle, he lost interest.

It turns out that the content in the chip is this...

Karl thought there was something special about it.

Although KENDACHI's melee weapons are famous for their quality and sophistication, it's great to be able to get their manufacturing templates, and you can make related weapons yourself, but where can you find the specialized equipment to make such weapons?

Making sophisticated weapons does not mean that you can just make them casually if you have a template. There is no relevant equipment to match the parameters of various components. The manufactured gadgets are just fine as ordinary weapons. The biggest problem is that they will suddenly break and fall off during battle. A sophisticated weapon like this uses both electric shock and thermal energy. If it is damaged, it will kill the wielder as soon as possible.

What's more, Karl can't use such a weapon.

He already has a knife and a monomolecular line for close combat, and there is even a knife below him that can be used as an emergency weapon. Carrying too many weapons on him will affect his own actions.

Karl was not interested, but V and the others were very interested, especially V. After reading the relevant data about the katana,

Eyes are shining.

V originally wanted to wear a melee-combat prosthetic body. He was still hesitating between the gorilla arm and the mantis knife before, but he did not make further modifications because he considered the possible endurance and adaptation problems after installing Horizon. But now that there is a ready-to-use weapon template in front of him, how can he not be tempted.

V looked at his savings and felt that there should be no problem in terms of money, buying relevant materials, and getting started, but...

V also thought of the same thing as Carl, that is, equipment-related restrictions.

This kind of precision product obviously cannot be made by hand, but what about the equipment? Is there any place in Night City that provides professional equipment and allows customers to forge their own knives?

"T-BUG, do you have any connections? Can you contact the relevant factory?"

Oliver was very interested in the neurotoxin knife. As a sniper, he had a personal knife, which could obviously provide a secondary guarantee of safety, so he asked about it. Before joining the team in Night City, he was doing better than any of them.

A T-BUG that is easy to eat on the mercenary road.

"I'm a hacker, not a knifesmith."

T-BUG said, but he looked at Karl and gave a suggestion: "We keep this thing for our own use. It is better to resell it and let those who are interested in buying it take a few produced ones." The samples are given to us. Karl has a relationship with a Japanese company, right? Japanese companies know best about katana.

Hearing what T-BUG said, V and the other three looked at Carl, and what could Carl say?

"Team vote, fair and square, you have four votes."

Karl said, taking out the chip inserted in the device: "Besides, this thing was originally picked up by V. Now that it is sold, everyone can share the money to get weapons. I have nothing to object to, so I just find someone to sell it to." ....”

Karl dialed the busy Mr. Kenichi Shiro's phone number. The reason why he bothered him again was because of the company.

The only person he knew and could contact was Mr. Kenichi Shiro.

"Now it's five votes."
