And if NC Kangtao can do this, wouldn't CN Kangtao have undercover agents and eyeliners inside the NC branch?

This is impossible.

So in places they couldn't see, perhaps since a long time ago, there has been a bloody storm going on.

Regarding the daily arrangement, although it sounds a little complicated, it is not complicated.

Because compared with those big events that happened, there is an essential gap in importance between the two——

The Sixth Street Gang is just an accomplice, not to mention it has been taken care of by Luo Qi;

The treatment of the wounded and the recovery of bodily functions are acts of gratitude for individuals;

There is also the daily life security of the team members, these are small things that do not affect the overall situation.

CN Kangtao quickly remitted a large sum of money to Team Shen to repay Luo Qi for all expenses paid in advance.

Of course, this is not Luo Qi's original intention.

But it's a good ending.

Because along with the money from the phone call, there is also the heartfelt and sincere gratitude and acknowledgment from the other party.

It was the kind of wording that made Luo Qi embarrassed enough to scratch his head.

From the pleasant conversation, CN Kangtao realized that Luo Qi was not what they imagined, he was a warlord or a powerful figure in Night City, and he extended to Team Shen and the others in order to form an alliance with CN Kangtao or simply take advantage of the relationship. Help.

But simply want to do it.

That kind of sincere attitude made them doubt for a while whether they were their own people who were left behind by other departments during the operation and could not return home.

There is a stark contrast between Luo Qi and some people in NC Kangtao.

Let them have to feel that sometimes the world is really incomprehensible.

Now that he has expressed his intention and attitude, and the two sides have also conducted a preliminary and in-depth understanding, Luo Qi also directly raised his own question——

The part about Ott.

What he called today was not any other department, but the headquarters of Kangtao, which was said to be directly cooperating with Ott.

This is why the call was forwarded for the last time.

Most people are not qualified to be responsible for the following part of the conversation, so they must report layer by layer, and finally someone with enough weight will pick up the receiver.

It is not a top secret that Kang Tao cooperates with the wandering AI.

In fact, many knowledgeable people know that there have always been various cooperation between companies and rogue AIs, but there are only a few, depending on the specific company and rogue AI.

However, most of the stories that exist in word of mouth are superficial rumors that "only know the shape but not the meaning".

Not many people know the truth.

Rocky is one.

Kang Tao's people were amazed at his knowledge of Ott Cunningham and his deep understanding of ghost towns.

Simply put - why do you know so much?

Luo Qi's answer is very simple - he knows Ott's old friend.

However, he didn't show any hostility towards Ott, because he didn't get any effective direct information from some insinuations, but he felt a vague attitude.

The Kangtao headquarters is more of a continuous use for Auto, and they also need this city composed entirely of machinery and artificial intelligence to continuously deliver technology and products to them.

The current Hong Kong, combined with the information obtained by Luo Qi, can basically be determined.

This is a land of rich resources similar to mines and oil fields, but it is not natural, but an electronic technology version.

There is no doubt that such a ghost city must need the existence of Otto in order to maintain its operation.

Most of the equipment and production lines can guarantee fully automatic production.

However, the deployment and division of labor that is so huge that the entire city can only be undertaken by an AI of the size of Auto.

Without confirmation, Luo Qi knew that Kang Tao would never help him deal with Otto.

Not because they are wolf-hearted, but because they simply shouldn't be doing it.

How much value can a ghost town produce?

Difficult to count.

And what can be gained from dealing with Ott?

A rescued electronic ghost, a personality consciousness body that has not yet been fixed in the relic, and the data remnants left after a huge roving AI collapsed, and a semi-paralyzed high-tech machine that lost its main control center. Production base.

This is not an industrial park in the traditional sense.

It is a three-dimensional city that can be clearly seen on the satellite image.

There are no real estate developers clinging to the land.

All buildings are replaced by production facilities, like a highly enclosed black box, reaching into the sky, with countless delivery platforms, drones, robots, mechanical arms, magnetic levitation tracks, gas-liquid pipelines, and product conveyor belts interspersed.

There isn't much room to spare, after all the machines can make the most of every inch of space.

This is not a city for humans.

The strategic and economic value of wandering AI is much higher than that of an Ultra.

Therefore, Luo Qi was clear in his heart and did not bring up such a topic, embarrassing both parties.

Because even if Kang Tao is determined to help him, will he be able to capture Otto or restrain Otto just by controlling a ghost town?

Of course it is impossible.

So there's no need, and the idea wasn't a good choice in the first place.

What he wants is to learn about another Otto from Kang Tao as much as possible.

Not the girlfriend in Johnny's cognition, nor the legendary genius in Luo Qi's cognition.

But from the perspective of a collaborator.

In Night City, what Luo Qi has gained the most so far is the information about "being an opponent with Otto".

However, he has not come into contact with the type of information "with Ott as a partner".

The other party naturally also asked Luo Qi about the usefulness of the information, and Luo Qi did not lie, and said openly——

Otto's side in Night City is not as gentle as it is in Hong Kong. Instead, he repeatedly attacks the subnet that protects the city, threatening everyone's safety.

But the big guy's answer was beyond Luo Qi's expectation——

Otto also attacked Kangtao once.

The collapse of the old network is worldwide.

Since then, various forces around the world have established their own network defense systems, as well as subnets that may or may not communicate with each other.

Of course, the land where Kang Tao is located has a huge subnet almost as large as before the deep web crash.

The giant ICE that intercepts roving AI attacks is also much stronger than the black wall.

Even so, network resources have shrunk to a wretched level.

As many fringe walkers have said——

The deep web, that is, the old web, is the free world that hackers yearn for.

Needless to ask, the reason why Otto attacked them was naturally because of the "higher-level technology".

Fleeing AI is actually different from humans.

From the perspective of perception, the AI ​​attacking the firewall looks aggressive, horrible, cruel and bloody.

But in fact, at the code level, this is nothing more than a decision.

An AI with a personality like Ott has completely diluted the part of perceptual judgment, not to mention other AIs that did not develop from a personality consciousness at all.

Their decision is not subjectively malicious to human beings, but it is a disaster.

However, after confirming that ICE would not be penetrated by Otto, Kang Tao obviously had some special thoughts in the process of investigating her.

There is no doubt that it is the technical prowess that Otto showed in front of them.

Taking over the equipment that human beings have to abandon is the habit of wandering AIs. For them, these are resources that can be mapped from virtual cyberspace to reality.

I don't know how Kang Tao talked with her, but in the end, they reached a consensus anyway.

The two parties exchange technology and products at equal value, and then achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

"And now, your mutually beneficial and win-win AI, ran to our side and beat the firewall to death. That's probably what happened."

When Luo Qi was asked what exactly happened, he replied like this.

Then the other side was embarrassed.

To be honest, this kind of situation is not unconsidered, but this kind of wandering AI that seems to be able to "get along with humans in harmony" turns around and makes troubles on the other side of the ocean. To be honest, it is quite unexpected .

It is worth mentioning that due to the many disasters of the old American government——

Including all kinds of war quagmire in Central and South America, economic crisis, natural disasters, internal rebellion in the four major bureaus, as well as the targeting of the European Community, the rejection of the Sovereign Soviet, and the tit-for-tat confrontation of Arasaka in Japan. In fact, the relationship between China and the United States has no chance at all. Century has become a sworn enemy.

The contradictions are mainly concentrated in the 20th century period.

Then the star-spangled banner country suddenly disintegrated.

So Kang Tao was not very disgusted with Night City's attitude.

In particular, Night City is already considered an independent city (country) and is not under the jurisdiction of NUSA.

So Luo Qi got this suggestion——

Trying to cooperate with the wandering AI may be able to alleviate the current crisis and even turn enemies into friends.

This is a good way.

But what even Kang Tao didn't foresee was that the attitude of the wandering AI represented by Otto towards humans has been changing all the time.

According to their expansion style, it seems that they intend to start a "cyberspace race war" on a global scale.

The two parties involved in the war are roving AI and humans.

No way, for them, this is the conclusion after in-depth analysis——

Elimination of human beings is more beneficial to the development of wandering AI.

This is crap.

One more competitor to occupy the living space is naturally not good for the side of the AI.

Perhaps in the future, after human counterattacks cause heavy losses to the roving AI, they will come to the conclusion after analysis that peaceful coexistence is also a good choice.

But Luo Qi is sure that when that time comes, companies will choose to completely annihilate, imprison and transform the wandering AI, and squeeze out all their value, instead of dividing up resources on an equal footing.

It's not that Luo Qi didn't think about Kang Tao's suggestion.

Ott's idea of ​​cloning the body for Johnny to "come into the world" is an olive branch.

She obtained the advanced technology of the human world, and then promised the corresponding reward.

But, if only everything were so perfect.

If these wandering AIs are allowed to obtain "advanced technology", then the first thing they do is to turn their guns and continue to attack humans.

They are always doing what is best for them.

If you can wipe it all out by robbing, why do you want to win with human beings?

This is why Luo Qi regards the wandering AI as the enemy of life and death.

Compared with them, those raging gangsters did not destroy the order of human society in the past, nor will they now, nor will they in the future.

Even Luo Qi understands this truth, and there is no reason why companies like Internet Monitoring cannot understand it.

Therefore, Luo Qi and the company's stance on the issue of roaming AI are surprisingly consistent.

There is no compromise, because that is not called compromise, that is called breeding tigers.

But Kang Tao obviously didn't realize this.

Luo Qi didn't intend to persuade them either.

Because of their status in their hearts, I am not a network expert, but a good person who extended a helping hand to them.

Although respectful, the remarks about the wandering AI may not attract enough attention.
