Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Everything, especially fame.

"It's a long way to go."

Luo Qi sighed leisurely, but it was not a sigh, it was just a kind of emotion and self-encouragement for the long and long road ahead.

Looking at it this way, wanting a rocket is indeed too far away.

So back to the original question.

No matter what, you need money first, a lot of money.

Money is actually nothing special, it is just the equivalent of the resources in your hands.

The last universe did need a lot of resources, so the logic is actually quite smooth.

"Are there any great aerospace experts in Night City?"

Luo Qi felt that it was obviously unrealistic to complete all the plans of becoming an astronaut in one day, so he decided to start with a simple start.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't eat big mouths... No, it's an astronaut.

Speaking of which, "跬" means one step, and "bu" means two steps.

That's probably what it means.

When thinking of experts, Luo Qi couldn't help but think of a few people, experts in laboratories or R&D rooms in the traditional sense.

Herman is, Joanne is, even Lao Wei used to be.

But it has nothing to do with "flying to the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the moon".

"Hey, it seems that I have to ask someone to help me contact a reliable one."

Luo Qi thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable one, so he had to choose a way that he couldn't help.

The best situation, of course, is to know reliable professionals yourself.

In general, you know reliable people, know reliable professionals, or know where to find them.

In the end it was this—

I don't know the details at all, and I have to ask a well-informed and well-connected middleman like Rogge to help in the search, and there may not be any results.

If it was an ordinary errand, Luo Qi's request would not be so high at all.

But this can be related to "black technologies".

Those who didn't know thought it was just a special job, and kept privacy and respect for each other, and didn't take it to heart.

But in case it attracts the attention of interested people, such as companies.

Especially for a company like Military Technology that has been doing secret research for a long time, then his life in the future will not be peaceful.

"But there is no other way, let's try with Rogge."

Luo Qi stood up, and was about to skip work halfway through work to go to the next life.

Then, a reminder from AI Muramasa made him stop abruptly in the steps he had just taken.

[All aerospace experts in the Night City area in the database have been found for you, and 436 objects have been excluded based on your needs. 】

In front of Luo Qi's eyes, a waterfall-like list unfolded like a clatter.

Countless personnel information was neatly listed in front of him like a resume.

This, this is? !

Chapter 670 Kerbal Space Program!

Aerospace experts.

Are there so many?

Luo Qi looked at the overwhelming content in front of him, and there was a strange color in his eyes.

The population of Night City is less than ten million, which is an extremely terrifying number in 2077, but it still has a very high proportion of technical personnel.

Because this is not only a city on the west coast of North America, but also the back garden of various companies.

Companies rule the world not only by extortion, but in a non-zero-sum game environment, the internal friction between capital is no different from human conflicts with themselves, but the level of technology is obvious to all.

There is a common view that in the past 60 years, the development of the earth's technological level is only equivalent to less than 2010 years from 2020 to 20.

There are not only the factors of the fourth corporate war, but also the network regression caused by the data collapse.

In addition, the environmental pollution and ecological damage left over from various reasons have exceeded the adjustment range of the earth's steady state, and in turn endangered the entire future development process.

There are millions of homeless people in North America. They were originally farmers who had to leave their homeland under the blows of a series of natural disasters, wars and corporate conspiracy.

What does technological development require?

Stable social ecology, including employment, market and people's livelihood.

What happened in this land was just the opposite of these conditions.

Outside of Night City, technology is even completely backwards.

Cyberpunk is played inside the city, and wasteland punk is played outside the city. This may not be accurate, but it is not wrong.

The seemingly prosperous urban development is actually a fragile ecology built under the corporate mechanism.

Companies need skilled people to stay competitive and develop new products, so they're always adding to technology, even though they're not doing it.

But the deformed market has led to excessive vicious competition.

On the one hand, various technological products have infiltrated into the lives of people of different income classes, squeezing out every penny of value as much as possible from all aspects, so that Night City, especially the bottom-level people, can become the fuel of the company, a giant capital beast, until it burns. do.

On the other hand, most of the terrorist benefits brought about by extreme squeezing are wasted in inefficient capital dumping and vicious competition, but it also promotes the prosperity of similar military industries.

It can be said that the so-called prosperity of Night City is all a fantasy.

After the Arasaka Tower nuclear explosion, what is left?

A total mess, and a complete anarchy, which lasted for many years until the city government, under the rebuilding tendencies of capital, was paralyzed.

The city is not impenetrable.

Or it has always been so life is thinner than paper.

If the era of great reconstruction is a portrayal of the city’s fragility, then Taipingzhou, which was completely scrapped in 2069 due to the outbreak of the unification war and the divestment of capital, is a microcosm and a possibility of the future.

These aerospace experts in the mountains, like other technicians, did not grow out of the ground.

Almost without exception, they are all elites attached to capital and government departments, but once such an environment is gone, they are also the first group of people to leave.

Night City does not have the background that Richard Knight imagined back then.

The infrastructure that can operate stably without oligopoly capital.

Agriculture, industry, education, healthcare, markets, employment...

One should not.

Let alone aerospace.

At the beginning, Muramasa scoured Arasaka's database, which was much richer than Night City's urban talent pool. After screening all kinds of people, he didn't even see any experts from small places.

Technology, like culture, needs soil to grow.

But the problem is that although there are many experts in relevant fields, almost all of them work for companies or government departments.

Since their student days, they have been deeply bound to capital, and they are an elite class that can never be separated.

Wild expert?

People like Lao Wei are already top talents that are hard to find even with a lantern, and they are not all wild. They were also people who worked in big companies, went abroad for further studies, and experienced ups and downs.

It is not a "difficulty" that can be summed up for Barefoot Doctor to achieve this level.

Capital monopolizes not only technology, but also everyone's hope and way out.

Their bodies have never been strong, and all their power comes from every ordinary person who is squeezed to the limit by the invisible.

Even Jefferson Perales, the kind of person who is going to be the mayor, completed his studies with the support of Yeshi Company, and together with his wife, he studied at the Asukaga College of the University of California.

【Unbelievable World】342967465

Dr. Juno, who is running around barefoot, may be able to find a skill or two and it's okay.

But aerospace...

To be honest, Luo Qi could not find the so-called "independent scholars" no matter whether he asked the village to screen or manually browsed by himself.

Scientific research needs soil, especially the research direction of going to space, which requires a very high technical foundation.

Mushrooms will not grow in the ground, they are all ground out bit by bit.

It is true now, it was true at the beginning of the century, it was true in the last century, and it was also true when modern science was sprouting hundreds of years ago.

"This is difficult."

Luo Qi was like a person who knew he couldn't find it, but refused to give up looking through it repeatedly, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes flicked between different information.

"First of all, those who work for large companies must be excluded. All aspects of these people's lives are monitored, and it is not so easy to be persuaded and wooed."

In this regard, he is not inexperienced, on the contrary, he has a lot.

Dr. Joanne Koch, Biotech's "Regional Director of Technology and Development," is a treasure trove throughout the company, a technologist who others have put her in the place of when things go wrong.

In order to "kidnap" her, Luo Qi spent a lot of effort.

It's catching ghosts, intercepting and assassinating, and infernal affairs disguised as military technology. Every time they meet, they live like Hollywood blockbusters.

Anders Helman, who almost became the dean of Kyoto Institute of Technology, the chief designer of Relic, was sought by Arasaka all over the world, and Kang Tao was everywhere in the world to instigate rebellion.

In order to find him, half of Night City knew about the commotion, and immediately pulled the gate. The scene was all on the big and small news, so there was no need to say much.

Just these two are top experts.

The moths are also getting bigger one by one.

Luo Qi is tired, he doesn't want to engage in such a big scene again.

Get something high-tech.

The kind that doesn't need to be earth-shattering, but requires exquisiteness.

"Secondly, those who are retired are not good either. Because they signed a non-disclosure agreement, they are still being watched by the company. In addition, they must have brought a lot of students. The social relationship is extremely complicated. It is difficult to contact them quietly..."

Luo Qi has played advanced screening several times, but he has not been satisfied with the results.

If this continues, he may really want to carefully evaluate everyone's files.

But that time is gone.

"Snapped."

As a result, the number of candidates was further reduced and became sporadic.

But here, it wasn't the kind that was hidden after defecting to the enemy, or was wiped out by the company for various reasons and then disappeared shortly after falling into despair.

There are very few, really very few, living among the people.

It is difficult for people engaged in this type of work to find new directions, because most of them devote their energy to a single subject.

And apart from companies and governments, there is no other way out.

Living in the night city is not easy.

Few people will give up their jobs in this industry unless they have to.

Seeing the ups and downs of some people's life, Luo Qi also felt a little emotional.

For them, it is the ups and downs of the whole life, but for the people of Arasaka, it is just two or three lines in the record.

"Huh? Wait..."

Luo Qi abruptly stopped the subconscious action of turning the page.

The old man who appeared on the next page was flipped away, and an ordinary middle-aged man reappeared in front of his eyes.

"Well, this is interesting."

His eyes moved between the lines of the message, he thought for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully.

Maybe, try it?
