Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Of course, Luo Qi naturally hopes that Johnny can use "talk therapy" to subdue Ott.

But he is obviously not some eloquent person who is good at rhetoric.

I don't know if Ott has noticed their "disloyalty" and "little Jiujiu", or if "constant contact and maintaining relationship" is absolutely unnecessary and redundant behavior for the wandering AI.

They hadn't met formally since the last time they met.

All I know is that Otto seems to be really planning technology related to biotechnology, as well as a way to break the Arasaka Mikoto.

This can be seen in the little letters it sent to Rocky and Johnny.

But now, Luo Qi and Suzi are driving to a place that does not exist on the map.

It was a deserted place, the outskirts of one of countless long-abandoned towns, once a small place dominated by mining.

There is ample evidence that a part of the Roaming AI exists and is active somewhere in that area.

The wandering AI is not a ghost in the true sense, it always needs a carrier.

Especially for Altec's ultra-large and ultra-high-performance retained AI, it is impossible for ordinary equipment to be used as a platform.

This is also the reason why the wandering AI prefers to choose ghost towns——

This used to be a city with abundant resources and foundations. It just needs to restore the core functions of the town step by step.

The existence of buildings simplifies the storage of equipment, and the perfect urban power system and network have become the tentacles of the mobile AI layout.

The bigger and more developed the city, the richer the resources that the wandering AI can find in it.

Of course, the premise is that they do have the opportunity to enter such a ghost town.

In many cases, ghost towns mean more attention, which may come from many sources, especially other wandering AIs.

When the benefit of pocketing a ghost city is greater than fighting a fierce fight, the wandering AI will definitely choose to do it because of this situation.

So from a purely strategic point of view, rebuilding a secret offline server may be a good choice with a different style.

There are countless devices that roaming AI have inhabited, but there is no need to target the devices that are regarded as broilers.

Only this kind of seemingly hidden and hidden scale server can carry a considerable part of the "body" of the wandering AI.

Compared with those idiot AIs that move all their data firmly and integrally no matter how far they develop, Ott has turned himself into countless copies.

To put it simply, Otto is now a unified whole composed of countless descendants.

Losing part of her daughter would cause her to lose irretrievable information, but it would not seriously hinder her existence.

For example, if she decides to use part of her computing power to study human emotions, she will first need a large amount of learning data, and then summarize and summarize based on the collected information.

This part can also be regarded as an integral part of Otto.

But after this part is accidentally lost due to some accident, there will be no problems with Otto's body——

It just lost the part about the direction of human emotion research.

And if, what is missing is the core module, then the result must be disastrous.

In light cases, the AI ​​reports an error and starts rolling back or self-repairing.

If it is serious, it will directly pull the brakes, and the entire huge AI will stop moving completely.

Whether this is effective for Otto, Luo Qi is not clear.

Because the strength shown by Otto is just the tip of the iceberg.

Especially the last time we met, what she said during the conversation with Johnny revealed that apart from a little information——

"My real body is not here, it's just a projection of my consciousness."

This can probably explain why Ott feels a little powerless about many things.

And she also mentioned.

When attacking Mikoshi in Arasaka, she "created countless AIs, but none of them could get in".

This further confirms Luo Qi's guess——

Otto may not be here at all, but she is a greater threat to the Black Wall than anyone who has appeared in Night City.

The wandering AI compiled a bunch of simple small AIs, and then threw them into the battlefield one by one like bombs and small planes.

See if you can blast through the black wall or shrine.

It's a lot like what a wandering AI can do.

And from the bit by bit of words and sentences, Luo Qi can clearly feel that Otto doesn't seem to regard Night City as his only activity area, but has other more unknown things.

For example, the AI ​​ghost town built with CN Kangtao in Hong Kong.

What she pursues is nothing more than "higher-tech technology".

Johnny also thought she was that Otto Cunningham, and he could chat for a while because he was her boyfriend in the past.

But he didn't realize at all that Ott was no longer that Ott, but a busy "person" who didn't have time to push him too much.

This made Johnny feel very angry all the time.

So Luo Qi didn't bring Johnny with him this time, either through official channels or as an "accomplice".

He may still be good at dealing with roving AI, at least as a fighting force.

But when dealing with Ott, he is a bastard who will lose the chain at critical moments. Only in this matter can he not be vigilant and relax the restrictions on him.

The ghost knows that he will make some unimaginable actions when his blood is hot for a while.

"There are still a few kilometers, and it's almost there. I can see the outline over there."

Luo Qi was racing on the interstate highway, and along the way, he had already seen many clues——

For example, the traces left by the march of the army.

Network monitoring can almost be said to bring out an entire army.

For many less developed countries in the third world, their regular armies do not have this level of firepower.

Tracks left deep traces in the wasteland, wheeled armored vehicles drove across the interstate, accompanied by floating vehicles in the sky, and it is said that they temporarily "hired" an aerial gunboat to support the attack.

Luo Qi could feel the engine exhaust left in the air from a long distance away.

Of course, it's just a feeling, in fact, you can't smell it at all.

"Coming."

Suzi reminded while looking at the holographic map displayed on the windshield of the car window.

"Ah."

Luo Qi began to check the route, observe the nearby topographic map, and tried to find a suitable location, while starting to prick his ears.

"Did you hear anything?"

"what?"

Suzi pricked up her ears, shook her head, showing a puzzled expression, and didn't hear anything unusual at all.

The windows were lowered a little.

The wind and sand flying upside down outside became a bit howling and noisy in this dry, hot and windy weather.

But Luo Qi still seemed to find something unusual in this chaotic voice.

"Ok?"

Suzi suddenly raised her head and looked at the distant sky.

There, a red signal flare, wobbly and dragging a wave-like tail trajectory, rushed into the sky, made a screaming sound, and then exploded directly at high altitude.

What a primitive way of warning...

Luo Qi thought so, and then his face changed, and he heard thunder roaring in the sky.

Even though it was daytime, a flash of white light could be seen at the height of the clouds, which were so sparse that there were almost no clouds.

Then, like a rolling meteorite, an extraterrestrial object that appeared from above the sky quickly tore open a channel from the sky to the ground at a speed that was slow at first and then quickly, and fell hard into the earth from beyond the sky.

one.

two.

Three.

Four.

The kind of blow that penetrates the air, shatters the sound waves, and then engulfs the chilling trembling and roaring, from far to near, like lightning and thunder, shakes the earth and shakes everyone present heart of.

The ground was still shaking.

Even though the giant beast is running wildly in the wild, the suspension cannot completely offset the bumps of the wheels and slopes, but this equivalent bombing still makes the giant beast produce additional tremors.

At this moment, the heartbeats of Luo Qi and Suzi became a little heavy due to the influence of the infrasound.

The ground was drilled through, and after a bang, a violent electric crackle resounded in the sky for a few miles——

The air gunboat fired four tactical EMP air-to-surface missiles towards the target area in one go.

Behemoth's anti-EMP protection is well done.

Even so, with a distance of a few kilometers, the various electronic devices in the car still froze violently for a while.

Especially the audio system, even when it was not turned on, it released a piercing sound that made Luo Qi's teeth chatter.

It's like being invaded by a virus.

Fortunately, this situation is only a flash, and it is not a big deal to be hit four times in a row.

"Go up!"

As soon as he regained his view of the topographic map, Suzi found a suitable commanding height nearby and showed Luo Qi the direction.

Luo Qi drove the giant beast, running non-stop from afar, just to catch up with this moment.

He rushed out of the dry river valley section, left the ground with six wheels, flew up the ditch, and then slammed into the hillside, pushing against the crooked dry land bushes, and rushed straight to the heights.

[Approaching vehicles, please identify yourself immediately, otherwise you will be expelled by force. 】

Such a message was displayed in the dialog box on the front windshield after the giant beast rushed into the range of this small army.

"Aid from Night City, hackers."

Luo Qi sent a voice message, the steering wheel in his hand was not loose, and he and Suzi gritted their teeth against the extremely bumpy climbing terrain, while watching the six directions and listening to all directions.

The battle has already begun.

The EMP obviously failed to destroy the equipment that had been prepared to roam the AI.

They protect their servers very well, especially the part set up in the underground facility, which almost has the best anti-EMP protection.

But near the center of the explosion, they were still affected.

The "they" here refer to those drones and robot clusters that come out of nowhere, just like the "talking grass".

The gunboats in the air should also take into account the functions of reconnaissance aircraft.

In this kind of conflict where electronic warfare and information warfare are higher than frontal confrontation, severe electromagnetic interference and complex signal environment are the biggest problems in considering the strength of an army.

That's one of the reasons they use flares in such a primitive way.

At least the flare will not be disturbed by electromagnetic interference.

as predicted.

Luo Qi just replied a message, and before he received a reply, the car's signal became a mess, almost completely unusable.

But there is a piece of good news, that is, the behemoth has finally rushed to the halfway up the mountain with a wide enough view.

"Quack quack—"

The tires locked on the ground, making an unpleasant friction sound.

The huge inertia made the giant beast's suspension buffer for a long time before it landed smoothly.

Luo Qi immediately got off the driver's seat, got into the non-existent back seat, and then entered the "gunner's position" directly behind.

Suzi, on the other hand, used a data cable to connect his nerves to the fire control system of the giant beast.

The behemoth is equipped with so many weapons that it cannot be operated by one person at all, so the almost extravagant intelligent fire control software is used.

This is an "alternative mobile firepower fortress" that requires three people to fully function.
