Chapter 46 Soul Killer
"Miss Nadia, you will also be the best CEO the Trauma Team Company has ever had. See you next time."
Li Ang smiled and said that he had a good impression of Nadia. At least she was different from those short-sighted company executives and could see the changes in the situation clearly.
If the trauma team company really rejects Li Ang, then he would not mind cooperating with Arasaka Yorinobu and using Arasaka's power to create a "first aid team" to steal the trauma team's business.
Although Arasaka Yorinobu is indeed a bit rebellious, he is still very concerned about the company's affairs. If there is a beneficial business cooperation, Yorinobu will definitely agree to it.
Fortunately, Nadia La agreed to cooperate this time, so the emergency services of the trauma team were not completely collapsed.
Company executives who understand current affairs like this are the allies that Li Ang urgently needs.
Li Ang is not afraid of head-on competition with other companies, but he still feels a little troubled by a short-sighted little player like Knapp who delays his time.
It's like stepping on dog poop. Although it's not a serious matter, it makes me feel panicked.
"Thanks."
Nadia smiled and watched as the Atlas float gradually lifted into the air and then disappeared from sight.
Inside the float vehicle, Li Ang finally took a breath. Dealing with these smart European capitalists was quite troublesome.
In the negotiation exchange just now, the reason why Li Ang dared to use aggressive momentum to confront Knapp and Nadia was because he understood the "profit-seeking" nature of the trauma team company.
The financial backers of the trauma team have no interest at all, nor do they want to fight with other companies.
As long as the company can maintain its absolute dominance in the medical field, everything else is easy to say.
The LA company has done well in the fields of aerospace vehicles, security, and weapons. It relies on technology to kill the trauma team, but they can admit it with a pinched nose.
But once it comes to nanorobot treatment or medical-related fields, LA Company will either be swallowed up by the trauma team, or it will have no choice but to fight hard!
"Leon, Johnny sent you a message. He wants to meet you."
At this time, Lucy suddenly reported to Li Ang: "He has arrived at the door of our company headquarters now. Do you need to meet him?"
To be honest, Lucy didn't have a good impression of Johnny Silverhand, the rock boy. He wrote rebellious, anti-company and anti-official remarks in his lyrics all day long, but without any valuable construction guidance.
Like thugs who only know how to destroy but know nothing about building order.
‘Johnny…that guy actually came to me for the first time, probably because he had something important to ask me for help! ’
Li Ang is very aware of Johnny Silverhand's bad temper. If he doesn't encounter something fatal and difficult, he will not speak to others easily. To put it bluntly, he is a very arrogant person.
"Let him in first and say we are coming back."
After saying that, Li Ang looked at the towering neon buildings outside the floating vehicle. He had roughly guessed Johnny's intention of coming this time. I'm afraid the real trouble has just arrived!
…
…
Company Plaza, Arasaka Headquarters.
In front of the wide circular porcelain conference table, Arasaka's executives were staring intently at the holographic 3D image in front of them, which was the projection of an old man with a stooped figure and a plain kimono.
This old man is none other than Saburo Arasaka, the founder of Arasaka Company!
"Toshiro, how is the situation now?"
Saburo Arasaka, who is far away in Tokyo, firmly controls Arasaka's branch company in Night City through the projection of holographic technology, as if he were personally there.
"Ott Cunningham is working on version 2.0 of Soul Killer for us. I specially sent three elite hackers to keep an eye on her. She doesn't dare to make any small moves!"
The person speaking is the network director of Arasaka Company. His name is Toshiro Harada. He is in charge of the company’s first key project appointed by Saburo Arasaka, which is the [Soul Killer] AI program!
Strictly speaking, the current 1.0 version of Soul Killer is more like some kind of network defense system based on AI artificial intelligence. Although it also has certain attack functions, it will be more troublesome to use.
Because the Soul Killer AI in version 1.0 has not been memory optimized, it requires a huge amount of data space.
If Arasaka Company's "Mikoshi" server wasn't powerful enough, it would be really difficult to run it completely.
It is precisely because of this that the ITS company where Ott Cunningham works only uses Soul Killer as an AI defense system to protect the company's network.
As for the more important function of the Soul Killer, which can accommodate artificial intelligence personalities, store human memories and personalities, and digitize human souls, ITS does not pay much attention to it.
But ITS didn't care. Arasaka Company, which had overheard the news of the AI Soul Killer, regarded it as a treasure!
What Arasaka Company currently requires Ott Cunningham to produce is version 2.0 of the Soul Killer AI.
And this version of the soul killer can easily implant the program into any electronic device to annihilate the consciousness of people equipped with prosthetic devices!
In layman's terms, it means using AI to burn out the brain of the target person.
With this thing, Arasaka Company is equivalent to having absolute control over cyberspace. Disobedient deep-diving hackers will have their consciousness data captured by AI in minutes, or their brains will be burned out on the spot.
In addition, the Soul Killer 2.0 can already preliminarily imprint human consciousness onto the terminal, which is quite abnormal!
This is equivalent to converting the human soul into digital life, using electronic devices or other people's bodies as storage, and achieving true cyber ascension and immortality.
For the elderly and increasingly weak Arasaka Saburo, immortality is definitely an irresistible temptation!
"We must develop the Soul Killer AI 2.0 as soon as possible. I will make the executives of Military Technology pay a heavy price!"
Arasaka Saburo's low and hoarse voice was clearly heard by every Arasaka executive.
Everyone could hear the anger and eagerness in Arasaka Saburo's voice.
Now Arasaka is fighting a war with Military Technology, and any place in the world may be the battlefield of both companies.
But under the "mediation" of the European Community and various forces, the armed conflict between the two companies has come to an end.
However, Arasaka Saburo still doesn't feel relieved.
When he learned that Ott Cunningham, the software development director of ITS, had developed an AI soul killer, Saburo immediately had Ott captured.
In Saburo Arasaka's plan, he would secretly upload the 2.0 version of the soul killer AI to the system of military technology executives through electronic devices that can be found everywhere, and eventually burn the brains of these Americans to ashes!
Saburo, who had experienced World War II, knew very well that the long-term stability of the company could not be achieved through the mediation of others, and must rely on strong enough power.
And the soul killer AI is a new technology project that is worthy of Arasaka's all resources!
