Ott then pulled out three resumes in one breath.

The four different photos are different, but on the front and bareheaded screen, there are four faces of the same height.

Maybe the time, place and environment are different, and the appearance of this man is also slightly different, but as long as you observe carefully, you can be sure that this is actually the same person.

But the content on the resume is quite different.

First of all, whether it is age, place of birth, or even name, they are completely inconsistent.

Regardless of those different work experiences, the last and the latest resume attracted Luo Qi's attention.

"In 2074, Tomoya Imai, whose pseudonym was Kento Takahira, visited Northern California from Japan as an exchange scholar at the Institute of Neurobiology at the University of California, Berkeley. This is his customs declaration form and visa application materials at that time, above There are a lot of fake parts that look like they were issued by the city of San Francisco, but in fact, it was completely taken over by the Northern California Free State government."

Ott's analytical ability really shocked Luo Qi, so he listened very carefully.

Since the end of the Unification Wars, Northern California has struggled to lead free states against NUSA's unification agenda.

A leader in finance and biotechnology, Northern California has one of the largest armed forces in the free state.

However, even they are not powerful enough to directly challenge the new US federal government.

Instead, the Northern California government deployed troops on the border, the most concentrated of which was on the border with Southern California——

The state has declared allegiance to the NUSA government.

And Night City is cleverly located on the border between Northern and Southern California.

That's why this area always seems so dangerous and tense.

Political factors, economic factors, military factors...

Any action involving multiple international forces may be an ambiguous foreshadowing of a future plan.

For example, this Imai Tomoya.

"In 2076, Night City Customs and the border wall between northern and southern California passed the license certification of a biotechnology research and development company. Interestingly, the company's registration place is in Chiba City, Japan, where Imai Tomoya founded after returning to Japan. The city where I work. In fact, there is even stronger evidence—the person in charge of the company’s R&D department was a member of the R&D team under Tomoya Imai. What’s more interesting is that Tomoya Imai’s mentor was also Now one of the members of the board of directors of an overseas branch of Yeshi Company. And this company has acquired several laboratories in Japan more than ten years ago."

Ott directly listed an extremely complicated network of interpersonal relationships in one breath.

Not only is it dizzy to hear, but it also makes people feel a little dazzled.

"How did you find out about this?"

Luo Qi stared at the cocoon-stripping analysis with a dazed expression, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"patent."

Ott said calmly, "Although they are well disguised, the registration time of these two different technologies is on the same day, and the patent representative is the same."

This also means that they are actually working for the same force——

Luo Qi silently added what Ott hadn't finished in his heart.

To put it simply, since more than ten years ago, Yeshi Company has begun to recruit Japanese biological neuroscience experts, and has also carried out mergers and acquisitions of related laboratories.

As for how to conduct research and development, this is not necessarily in Night City.

In fact, the most common feature of these large companies is that they have subsidiaries and branches everywhere.

Yeshi Company is no exception.

While it's a business that originated with the founders of Night City, and is largely rooted in what was once "Coronado City," it's not without international presence.

Compared with other companies that started in a certain industry, Ye's Company has been a super giant involved in all walks of life from the very beginning.

Internet, real estate, urban construction, banking, agriculture, people's livelihood, aerospace...

Almost every major industry you can think of has their participation.

But there is no obvious figure.

When Arasaka and military technology were at the same scale and influence, they were already well-known and famous all over the world.

However, Ye's Company has always been low-key and frighteningly low-key. Only in Night City can you hear more news about them.

Just like a big transparent.

If Ott hadn't sorted out Ye's company's capital injection and holding situation for him, he really didn't know that such a behemoth lived beside him, affecting almost every aspect of everyone.

Especially in the field of implant manufacturing research and development, which he thought he had never set foot in.

Yeshi Company has acquired hundreds of research institutes and laboratories around the world, and the time span ranges from decades to months.

These cannot be checked on the Internet, and can only be summed up by reconciliation one by one.

Except for Ott, no one has the spare time and mood to organize this thing.

But Luo Qi saw something bad from inside.

"Chiba City is one of the regions with the most developed nerve connection technology in the world... Sufficient money, numerous laboratories, experts with rich work and R&D experience, stable and reliable academic contacts... What exactly does Yeshi Company want to do? What?"

And what made him even more horrified.

With such a powerful strength, Ye's Company has never sold any products under the name of a certain leather bag company.

To put it simply, in the past 20 years, Yeshi's implant industry has always been in a state of "only input, no output required".

Although for them, they have enough property and volume to maintain the consumption of inputs, but for any company, it is impossible for any company to pay without output.

Combined with the evidence specified by Ott, Luo Qi felt as if he understood.

"You mean, Ye's company has actually been using these secret research institutes to develop implants that are directly installed on the cerebral cortex?"

"The obvious conclusion," Otter said.

"Grass……"

Luo Qi didn't even say "possible" and "guess".

Because that's just a good guess about the unknown.

Never count on luck, especially on the not-so-great side.

The test results of the dismantling of the implant by the Terrorist Mobile Medical Department showed that it was actually an extremely sophisticated and complex guided implant.

Its role is not to provide additional functions to enhance a certain part of the body.

Instead, it has a lasting and long-lasting effect on the brain.

As far as the current level of human science and technology is concerned, they can use this external signal stimulation to artificially change some original brain function mechanisms.

Such as regulating hormones in a targeted manner, inhibiting or strengthening bioelectrical signals, and even forcibly building and dismantling synapses in designated areas to change the connections between neurons.

As for what impact it will have, it will vary.

Regarding biological neurology, there are too many things that need to be studied, which are far from being able to be summarized in one or two books, let alone one or two sentences.

Ye's company's actions, even if they think in the best direction, are designing an implant that is sufficiently cross-generational, mainly targeting the central nervous system that was rarely touched before.

That is, stuff in the brain.

This is a good thing for the progress of human science and technology.

But when this kind of implant appears in the mind of a killer who assassinates an expert from another company, no matter how you think about it, it will not symbolize friendship.

Luo Qi has no doubt that the research and development of this implant is no less mysterious than Relic.

Arasaka can use its own size to ensure the smooth progress of research and development.

However, Ye's company chose the method of cheating.

Their own sense of existence is already very low, and the research institutes affiliated to the company are completely indistinguishable from transparency.

Even the vast majority of people didn't even realize that Ye's company had invested a lot in this area.

Time, energy, money.

What surprised Luo Qi even more was that such a secretive and mysterious technology had actually been installed on the tool man.

There is no doubt that Joanne's existence has definitely threatened Ye's Company.

It doesn't have to be her own knowledge and technology, it may also be a simple conflict of interest, or something else.

Otherwise, there is no need for them to send someone to assassinate.

But even this kind of one-time assassination tool man who may fail at any time has been installed with implants without exception.

Does this mean one thing—

Already behind and can show?

Luo Qi didn't know much about this aspect, so he didn't dare to make a rash conclusion.

But look at relic.

The relic 2.0 beta version stolen by Arasaka Yoshinobu already has the ability to "resurrect" a personality consciousness.

And what about the market?

Just started to promote the rich man's toy version of relic1.0.

It was nothing more than a simple rubbing of the soul imprint in the brain by the soul killer, and what was finally produced was just an empty shell controlled by the dialogue AI.

This kind of technology has already been mastered by Arasaka in the era of Otto Cunningham.

On the other hand, Ye's company.

Brain implants are not yet on the market, but they have been installed on living people as experimental items, and there is not much need for recycling.

Otherwise, they should have installed a bunch of small bombs in the tool man's head at the same time.

It is used as a last resort to destroy their own secret design products along the way.

"Ye's Company, I understand...thank you."

After thinking for a while, Luo Qi decided that this information was indeed very useful to him, so he sincerely expressed his gratitude.

However, this is not a free lunch.

This can be regarded as a part of the advance payment for their cooperation.

The crackdown on rogue AI by network surveillance has made the situation even more tense.

Otto desperately needs support from Rocky before he loses too much in this conflict—

That's right, network surveillance can't completely deal a devastating key blow to her.

As a developed AI with a global scope of activities, Otto is not a small individual that can be destroyed by a few battles. On the contrary, she has unimaginable control in cyberspace.

But in the Night City area, she couldn't lose too many strongholds.

The black wall has not yet been breached, and she still covets the unique secret techniques of many companies, including Arasaka Mikoshi.

Most of them are technologies that have no substitutes and are the only ones in the world.

For example, the manufacturing and automation of smart devices, the ghost town in Hong Kong is a good base to communicate with CN Kangtao.

If it loses there, it will be a big loss for Ott.

Even if she had time to summarize and summarize all the results of research and development to avoid being lost in the attack.

But losing the platform means losing the future.

She couldn't let go of Night City easily, because there was no second place in the world.

Japan is the territory of Arasaka and FACS. They are not as good at talking as CN Kangtao, but they have the highest hostility towards wandering AI.

Maybe in the future, the sovereign Soviet Union and Europe are also good places to go, but both places are too dangerous and chaotic.

Except for the West Coast, there is no other place where she can develop freely.

She is not the only AI running around in the world, and she is not the only Internet company monitoring the Internet.

People always say that the deep web is full of dangerous things.

But for those "dangerous things", isn't the deep web dangerous?

In addition, there is another point, which is also the reason why she insisted on cooperating with Luo Qi.

"I can't see through you. I want to know what kind of technology you use."

Ott changed the subject and asked Luo Qi directly.

"I?"

Luo Qi pointed at himself and asked suspiciously.

There's nothing you can't see through, you're not some inexperienced brat, he's such a simple person, there's nothing you can't see through.
