Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

David didn't know Lear's name, he just knew that he must be his elder brother.

So he held it in for a long time to come up with such a name.

Lear was also curious about what this kid was doing now, so he stopped by anyway, so they started chatting.

"Did you drop out of school?"

David nodded: "I will officially drop out of school tomorrow. Arasaka Academy is not a place for a poor boy like me."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Lear looked at the boy's thin body——

Of course, he just looks thin. If he really starts to put on a prosthetic body, given David's physical condition, he can transform into a big man in three weeks.

However, his mind is too fragile. If he really changes, the probability of cyberpsychosis is as high as 99%.

"I plan to find a job first." After speaking, David gritted his teeth again, "Brother, I know you must have plans in the academy. I can still enter the academy normally tomorrow. If you have any work?"

"Oh, I won't be going to the academy starting tomorrow. I'm officially graduating."

"ah?"

David was dumbfounded.

Street boy - no, it should be street brother. How can it be connected with Arasaka Academy?

Anyone who sees this combination will think that this street brother is planning to do something big, such as kidnapping all the students and then asking for ransom money one by one.

Of course, in David's mind, a big brother like Lille would definitely disdain kidnapping, and maybe he had some high-tech idea.

But the only thing--it's impossible, and it shouldn't be, that he is really studying!

"No, look, it's a Class A license, double certificate. But what a pity, the name on the certificate is not my name, it's a fake name."

Lille half regretfully showed his physical license and appeared in front of David.

Jointly recognized by Night City Vocational Qualification and Talent Management Center-Arasaka College.

David's mouth opened wider and wider, and he suddenly felt like a clown.

He was confused: "Being a big brother on the street now also depends on academic qualifications?"

"Of course I don't watch it, but when I'm away from home, I don't have to worry about many skills. I'm more interested in learning."

Lille put away the license and asked: "What about you, what job are you going to find? But now that the employment pressure is so great, where are you going to find a job?"

what can you do? "

Good question, it stopped David.

Can he say that he can memorize the student rules taught in school and the ideological education courses of Arasaka College?

"Well, if I have to say it, the school will also teach us prosthetic calibration and technical knowledge."

"That's pretty good. Can I take the license test?"

David opened his mouth but was speechless.

It's a damn test - he knows his level well.

But this question really confused David, and he began to think about what he had learned at Arasaka Academy.

Advanced mathematics and basic physics are excluded!

Then, in addition to the corporate culture that company dogs must learn, it seems to be about improving personal accomplishment and maintaining the professionalism of business meetings.

Finally there are courses in history, economics and finance.

Which ones are useful?

David said uncertainly: "History, economics and finance, etc.? Will it be helpful to find a job?"

Lille clicked his tongue: "It helps, but it's certainly not helpful for street gangsters to find jobs. Strictly speaking, if you understand these thoroughly, you are very suitable for joining the company.

But if you're not in the company, it's really not of much use. "

Unexpectedly, in 2076, high school students will no longer receive basic science education--of course, it may be that David ruled out this correct answer first:

Those who understand basic subjects may not necessarily know technology, but most people who are good at basic subjects can learn technology very quickly.

David's shoulders visibly slumped, and he was really at his wits end.

He feels that the only thing he is useful for is chip and prosthetic calibration technology - but what is his level equivalent in 2076?

Equivalent to the second level computer level of college students in 2011.

You can't say it sucks or that it's useless at all, you can only say it's not very useful - especially if you are not a fresh college student.

Yes, this world is so contradictory.

Not everyone has a certificate, but it doesn't mean that if you have a certificate, you will have a job, and if you don't have a certificate, you will not live well.

But it doesn’t matter. The factory in Santo Domingo will always welcome high-quality young people to enter the factory to plug in the work chip, and the construction site in Taipingzhou also welcomes them to join the dust removal.

David immediately raised his head again:

"Then I'll go to my mom's place of work and help her. I heard that collecting corpses is quite a troublesome thing, and I might be able to get an outsourcing contract.

If I have time, I'll go to the bar and find a middleman to see if there's any work. The Kuiji chip is quite powerful, so I'll definitely teach the gangster a lesson. "

This guy is serious this time.

Lear touched his chin and said, "You are much more energetic than last time. Do you have a gun in your pocket?"

David nodded and patted his bag.

"Yes, although it is a bit late to start learning these things at the age of 17, it is better than waiting for people to die before learning better."

After finishing speaking, Lear looked at the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the subway - suddenly, through the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw the external chip slot on David's neck flashing red.

This is a sign that the chip is forced to eject.

interesting--

The corners of Lear's mouth curled up - that man not only fell in love with David, but was also trying to break through his personal ICE protection.

As a means of protecting individual prostheses, personal ICE mostly uses the brain and brain implants as the hardware basis for protection.

Without considering the software architecture, the higher your intelligence level, the theoretically higher the complexity of the individual ICE.

In other words, a hacker's individual attack and defense largely depends on his or her intelligence level.

When most hackers choose a target to hack, they will first obtain the other party's personal information table - this information table is generally located in the outer layer of the data structure, equivalent to a business card, and is less difficult to mine.

Lille also has such a business card, but it is fake.

And because of data gaps, most hackers are unable to detect that there is data embedded behind the fake business card and will believe it to be genuine.

However, 12 points of intelligence is already an extremely high level in this world.

Whether it is intelligence, reaction or physical attributes, anything over 8 points is already an excellent level, while 10 points is the limit of pure physicality, which is almost impossible for ordinary people to achieve.

Although 12 points of intelligence is far from Lille's limit, it is a level beyond the reach of most people.

Obviously, the invaders are still confident that they want to do something big - but unfortunately this is not all Lille's computing power.

Once ICE is not breached, hackers on both sides will enter the real-time attack and defense phase - and Lille will therefore have a chance to surprise.

Plop.

There was a sound of heavy objects falling behind him, and David turned around quickly to look, suddenly stunned.

In the aisle behind the two of them, a fashionably dressed white-haired girl fell to the ground, covering her head in pain.

David hurriedly squatted down to support the girl like a fool: "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

The data in Li Eryi's eyes flashed: "It's no big deal. It was just counterattacked when it invaded my system."

The white-haired girl bit her silver teeth lightly, enduring the nausea of ​​system chaos, and pulled out an almost invisible thread from her arm, and then put it around David's neck!

Lear clicked his tongue in surprise - isn't this David's favorite White Moonlight Lucy?

In the "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" anime, David often sees a beautiful white shadow on his way home.

Now he was directly held in the arms of this beautiful white figure - but it might not be that romantic.

"Back off, or I'll kill this kid."

Lille's head was spinning with data: "Strictly speaking, he and I are not on the same team. Secondly, are you sure your single molecule line is functioning normally?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly noticed that the thread in her hand was dim.

Single molecule line is another technology in 2076 that is incredible but cannot be further applied.

This kind of molecular wire has been composed of special arrangements of single molecules since it was produced.

However, thinness is not the only element of sharpness, it must also be hard.

When using single molecules, the prosthesis must provide electrical energy to enhance the force between the single molecules so that it can break metal.

Experienced hackers can use this characteristic of the single molecule wire to control the current output as an interface to hack into the device. They can even gradually charge the single molecule wire when throwing it out, so that it can show a killing effect like a braid.

But without this force, the single-molecule wire would be more fragile than imagined.

Lear knelt down and picked up the Kuiji chip on the ground. When he saw this thing, David felt stupid for a moment.

"I disabled your prosthetic body, I should have taken it back.

But this is my first time being hacked, and I have a very good experience in personal ICE attack and defense - David, your chip.

Most street boys start their first job as thieves.

Maybe you can ask this girl if she has any work for you, she's a pretty good hacker. "

"Have you ever praised yourself so much?" The white-haired girl forced a smile, her guard still intact.

If she is a skilled hacker, who is she?

Having said that, the ICE structure set up by the opponent during real-time attack and defense is indeed not brilliant, it can even be said to be routine.

But what about that complexity and the computational speed shown during Lille’s counterattack?

Lear didn't plan to talk to her anymore - he was going to the afterlife tonight, and he didn't want to be yelled at by V about why he was late again.

As for Lucy and David, they can only say that the time has come to test David.

Now he only has a piece of the Kuij400 chip that Lear rewarded him with, which is worth a small amount of money. Lucy is unlikely to covet anything from him.

In the original work, at this time, David not only died of his mother, but also wore the Sean Westan used by James Norris like a dazed boy.

Now, there is nothing special about him, only an entry-level combat prosthetic body - and a living mother.

How far he can go and how much he can keep in this city depends entirely on himself.

If he can do well on his own, give him some odd jobs in the future.

Seeing Leer leave without looking back, the white-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief.

David in his arms smiled awkwardly: "So, do you have any work for me to do? I have a Kuiji chip, so I might be quite suitable for this."

As he spoke, he was still a little embarrassed - the girl's arms were quite soft.

This was the first time in his life that David had physical contact with a girl.

The white-haired girl who had survived the disaster looked at the clarity in David's foolish eyes and sighed again.

"Are you serious? The master of Arasaka Academy wants to do this?"

"I'm going to drop out of school soon and have to find a job." David raised his fingers as he spoke.

"Okay." The white-haired girl stood up from the ground after correcting her system, "I have nine and you have one - if we fight and you come to the rear, I will give you a little more.

And then - when are you going to get up from me? "

"Uh" David stood up quickly, "Excuse me, when do we start?"

"Just now - act normal and don't be such an idiot. My name is Lucy, what's yours?"

"David."

Looking at the silly David, Lucy had a question in her mind that Lear had also thought about:

This person is a kid who helps count money after being sold.

Not even a counteroffer.
