Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Fortunately, in 2077, at the moment, I am a participant and witness of history.

Kang Tao's strength can already explain a thing or two...even if there is a little "little trouble" in the company's branch in Night City.

Chapter 170: This Is Too Cyberpunk

After trying to understand all this, Luo Qi continued to look down.

The second corporate war officially began with the explosion of an offshore platform "Sabina Bravo" owned by Petrochemical.

Petro Petrochemical accused Su Petrochemical of planting explosives on their platform, and a long and bitter series of public spats began between diplomats representing their respective companies.

Commonly known as saliva.

In fact, after the communication of the platform was interrupted, Pei Zhuo Petrochemical immediately launched a military attack.They retaliated by ordering their military divers to plant explosives on the Sioux oil platform.

Suyou's platform was smashed to pieces, and a full-blown conflict ensued.

Like a child, if you punch me, I immediately punch back.

No one cares who makes the first move, because there are no "parents" who can restrain the two super companies, so the children who lose have no food to eat.

Obviously, Su Petroleum and Petra Petrochemical both understand this truth.

Su Petroleum achieved most of the "initial" successes in the war, but the two sides destroyed about 75% of each other's oil facilities in just two weeks, which is a complete loss for both sides.

In the middle of the war, Petro Petrochemical seized the Spratly Islands chain using military aircraft borrowed from the Malaysian government and assassinated Su Petroleum CEO and founder "Anatoly Novikovo", briefly gained an advantage over the enemy.

Although Su Petroleum suffered a considerable loss, the company overwhelmed Petra Petrochemical in the market after its reintegration, and repelled the opponent's attacks many times.

By October 2009, most of Peizhuo Petrochemical's troops had been defeated after repeated attacks, and Su Petroleum finally took control of the South China Sea.

However, after the investigation, it was found that the platform of Pei Zhuo Petrochemical was blown up, and it had nothing to do with Su Petroleum.As for whether this is a self-directed and self-acted drama, or a third party sowing dissension in an attempt to benefit from it, this is another topic.

It doesn't help the war that has already happened.

Those oil drilling ports that continue to pollute the South China Sea and other sea areas have not been controlled in any way, and will continue to make indelible contributions to the deterioration of the marine environment in the next few decades.

The southern Pacific Rim has been heavily polluted as refineries on land and oil rigs at sea were the main targets of destruction during the conflict. In 2020, more than ten years after the war, the assessment of these areas is-"almost uninhabitable".

In 2020, CHOOH2 is nearly ubiquitous, essentially replacing gasoline and diesel fuel as the primary combustible fuel.

But anyone who knows a little bit about petrochemicals knows that the irreplaceability of petroleum is not only that fuel can be obtained from it-whether it is clothes, pants, shoes, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, to aerospace, almost no part is completely complete. Leave out petroleum products or petroleum derivatives.

The word "plastic" is enough to stop the mouths of all those who suggest stopping oil extraction.

This is not human tragedy.

It is a real tragedy that uncontrolled capital repeatedly harms this planet and all the people who live on it because of oil resources.

CHOOH2 is not actually a chemical formula, it's just a synonym for marketing purposes.

The main ingredient of "alcohol two" comes from a patented high-sugar wheat, which is added to yeast for industrial fermentation to obtain alcohol.

The fuel itself is a synthetic, modified grain alcohol, not pure ethanol.It burns at a higher temperature than most other alcohols and extremely fast, which is why CHOOH2 is the ideal fuel.

Like gasoline with different octane numbers, CHOOH2 also has several different molecular weights and isomers, which can be combined into compound fuels with different needs for different types of engines

The general-purpose CHOOH2 powered engine can use any fuel formulation, but the best results can be achieved when a dedicated engine and a dedicated fuel are used together.

Other than that, CHOOH2 burns cleaner than gasoline and diesel, but the fuel itself is toxic, like other high-strength alcohols—

It can cause blindness and disorientation at low doses and death at high doses.

The nature of inheritance.

Some people say that CHOOH2 is real clean energy, Luo Qi thinks this is fart.

Much of the land has been occupied for the cultivation of specialty wheat.In terms of obtaining food, ordinary people not only have a serious lack of fruits and vegetables and a variety of dietary intake, but also have to endure the poison of food produced on lightly polluted land all the time.

In addition, for the growth of wheat, a large amount of chemical fertilizers have to be used.Whether it is the collection and synthesis of raw materials for chemical fertilizers, or the pollution of land and water after fertilization, it is very serious.

Anyway, he didn't see where the unlucky thing was cleaned.

But it doesn't matter, this thing is easy to grow, low in cost, easy to use, and quick to make money.

Luo Qi felt that his blood pressure rose a bit, so he quickly took a few deep breaths to adjust his mentality.

The Third Corporate War was a massive corporate conflict that took place between February and November 2016, and unlike the first and second Corporate Wars, the Third Corporate War was fought almost entirely online of.

At the time, examiners for the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce found that certain investment advisors to Merrill, Asukaga, & Finch had used the Rothstein Fund to , a subsidiary of the Bank of New York City was used as leverage to carry out a trust scam on private investors.

So they notified the district attorney.

And the Rothstein Foundation, outraged by the MA&F scam and not wanting to be implicated in the investigation, turned over all their stuff to the D.A.

If only this is the case, I am afraid that the third corporate war will not be fought at all.But the Rothstein Foundation also hired local cyber hackers, known colloquially as "Netrunners," to begin investigating MA&F's data fortress in search of the truth.

The management of MA&F saw the move of its former ally as an act of attack and provocation, so they immediately took countermeasures, increased the level of security, and sent their hackers to launch an attack on the Rothstein Foundation, the first target was their financial system.The battle then escalated when MA&F's hacker commandos turned their focus to destroying the Rothstein Foundation's computer systems.

In those few days, the situation was completely chaotic.

The data fortress becomes an armed camp for cyber hackers, and everyone watches nervously to see what happens next.In response, Internet surveillance came in, restricted the two companies' access to the Internet, arrested a large number of people, and dealt a heavy blow to this large-scale computer crime.

This is a matter of network monitoring, and they didn't show up at this juncture. Luo Qi felt that they were just watching the show, and they didn't act until it would endanger their right to speak and face in cyberspace.

It's not a good egg.

But here, the Rothstein Foundation and MA&F decided to bring the war to the real world—they started recruiting mercenaries.

Over the course of 12 hours, the "warriors" of both sides engaged in a short and fierce battle in low earth orbit and on the ground, all with the goal of destroying the enemy's network communication equipment.

Naturally, the next six months saw a flurry of cyberattacks, most of them inconsequential, indecisive, and picky.

In fact, the first 12 hours of real-world firefights caused more damage than the entire remainder of the conflict combined.

The war was over, and the Rothstein Fund was no more, at least not as intact as it had been.

MA&F handed over the bodies of two Rothstein executives to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and local prosecutors, and they wiped out their opponents, even if they didn't make sense.

And they're the ones responsible for this mess, so pay for both sides' damage on the surface and in space.

Did you earn it?

Apparently not—

Big loss.

But the opponent collapsed, and the loss can no longer be described as heavy.

Although the third corporate war was not as "magnificent" as the previous two, the economic losses and long duration made people aware of the unusual nature of this cyber-based war.Don't look at the little movement, but the lost funds are really scary.

This has led to dozens of theories of the so-called "bricks", and their only consensus is that cyber warfare is a new form of corporate warfare, and it will extend to reality at any time, resulting in physical armed conflicts .

Luo Qi: ... (numb)

Companies are busy pinching around, but what is the role of ordinary people in it?

Cannon fodder and background plates.

How did you recite that poem?

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

It is not easy to meet a reliable country.

Rocky stretched.

Having lived in Night City for a long time, I actually feel quite accustomed to seeing these shocking and cruel truths.

"..."

A barely audible footstep came slowly.

At the beginning, Luo Qi often couldn't help shivering, but he gradually got used to it.

It is Suzi.

She came back from a mission.

"The training is over?" Suzi has changed out of her equipment, her first shift has ended, and now it's a free time to rest.

"It hasn't started yet." Luo Qi shook his head and took off his helmet after thinking about it.

Information can be viewed at any time, but touching is not always available.

"I think you need to reduce the workload a little."

Luo Qi looked at her carefully, his gaze went from the strands of her hair down to her body and long legs to the ground, as if she had to see something wrong.

Motoko has a history of cyberpsychosis, of an acute but not entirely irreversible nature.

Even Lao Wei is not sure whether she has left any sequelae, and Luo Qi is even more afraid to let her let herself go. If she becomes sick from overwork and relapses, then he really has no place to cry.

"This is not military technology, you don't have to take the mission as everything."

Luo Qi grabbed her hand, Suzi didn't resist at all, and let him rub the skin of her palm.

"When I was in military technology, I didn't have time to rest, and no villains would touch me." Suzi said with a blank expression.

A slightly indifferent expression that rejects people thousands of miles away is one of the sequelae.

Except when the emotions are more intense, Suzi's facial expressions will be extremely slight or even hard to detect.

For example, at this time, Luo Qi felt that the corners of her mouth were slightly bent than usual.

This is a happy and content expression.

He couldn't help reaching out to touch her face, but he found that he was wearing a mechanical glove, so he quickly took it off.

"It feels like you're rubbing a rag doll."

Suzi expressed slight dissatisfaction with Luo Qi's behavior of "pushing her".

"I wouldn't put a doll under the covers."

Luo Qi said very naturally.

Suzi shuddered a bit, almost shivering at the sudden coquettish words.

"Let's take a break another day. Where do you want to go this time?"

Between the two of them, they would set aside three or four days every month to do nothing, just eat, drink, play and have fun everywhere, counting it as a small vacation for themselves.

Whether it's a terrorist mobile team or a mercenary, there are no weekends to speak of.

When the weather gradually turns cooler and the end of the year enters, he plans to wait until the time comes to prepare a Spring Festival dinner for his family and friends around him.

As for Christmas.

Roach's only respect for the holiday comes from Jack, who grew up in the Valentino gang who believed in Santa Muerte and Jesus Christ, and then lived in Haywood for 30 years. This belief is not so much a spirituality. It's more like a habit.

"You decide." Suzi's answer is always this.

Luo Qi knew, but he couldn't help but ask.

Because this is the most basic respect for her.

If one day he takes Suzi's unconditional dependence and trust in him for granted, it means that he is no longer the original him.

"To be honest, I didn't think about it either."

The longer I stayed here, the more I felt that Night City was pitifully boring.

After all, the glamorous place is not prepared for ordinary people like them.

Luo Qi also wants to have a party on the plane, and also wants to celebrate his birthday in a mansion in a Mars colony, and also wants to stand on a tall building hundreds of meters overlooking all living beings, and then sigh with emotion how big the world is.

"Then go to the pier and order some chips?"

Suzi put forward her own "constructive" opinion.

This was "revenge" for not understanding Luo Qi's stalk that day.

The two discussed it, but still couldn't find any good place to go.

Not to mention the beautiful scenery of the countryside with few people, birds and flowers, dense trees, and lush grass, they don't even have a decent park.

These days, the fingernail-sized parks in the cement square are all holographic projection trees, which not only have no photosynthesis, but also have to make a negative contribution to global carbon emission reduction.

No, this is too cyberpunk.
