Start in Night City - #379 - Chapter 379
His original plan was to go to Bolivia with others.
But in the process of Judy’s incident, Su Xiao suddenly got some unexpected joy.
This made him decide to stay first.
He made a list and gave it to Rogge, asking Rogge to help him get these materials.
Then, he locked himself in the private room prepared for him by Rogge in the “afterlife”.
Except for the seven hours of sleeping time, he devoted all his time to production.
Chapter 319 This is a new version of the ship you have never seen before (3K)
Half a month later.
Lidya Su, who looked tired, came out of the private room.
He was also holding an alloy box in his hand.
This box contains all the combat auxiliary equipment that he has made day and night in the past half month.
It is the kind of prop that can allow ordinary people to strengthen into special forces within an hour.
…
Su Xiao came out of the private room, took a Delama taxi, went to Chambi Building, and booked a luxury suite.
He would sleep well for a few hours first.
Then take a shower and eat.
Feeling refreshed and full of energy, he made a phone call.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came to the luxury suite and met Su Xiao.
…
Lister is the Republic of Texas’ liaison in Night City, responsible for purchasing weapons for the Department of Defense.
Today, he suddenly received a call. A man who claimed to be the president of Shuguang Military Company said that he had a batch of new versions of ships that he had never seen before and wanted to sell him.
And asked him to meet at Chambi Building.
If the other party’s meeting place is Tom’s Hotel or some other dark corner.
Then Liszt would never go to meet him.
But the place chosen by the other party was Kanbi Building.
This made Liszt hesitate.
Rooms in Chambi Building are expensive, even hourly rooms are not cheap.
Secondly, Kanbi Building has very complete security, and nothing bad has ever happened.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Liszt finally decided to go and see the situation.
He has nothing to lose anyway.
In the luxurious suite, Liszt met Lidya Su.
But the president of Shuguang Military Company was much younger than he thought.
“Mr. Su, is that right?”
“Exactly, hello Mr. Lister.”
Su Xiao stretched out her hand and shook Liszt’s hand.
Then he motioned for Liszt to sit down.
Sit on both sides
After getting off, Su Xiao took out a gun and put it on the table.
“Mr. Lister, do you know what this gun is?”
As the weapons procurement liaison, Liszt would certainly recognize the smart gun that Su Xiao took out.
I only heard his words as if they were treasures from every household.
“Kangtao’s “Yinglong” is the top smart gun on the market. Even the trauma team uses this weapon as the standard weapon. “
“The best thing about it is the fully automatic loading system, ultra-sensitive radar and top-notch holographic sight.”
Su Xiao applauded and praised: “Mr. Liszt knows so much.”
“After all, this is also my major. Unfortunately, I can only talk about its advantages, but I can’t play with it.”
“That’s not necessarily the case. Mr. Lister can try this.”
At this time, Su Xiao suddenly took out a chip, placed it on the table, and slid it towards Liszt against the table.
Liszt subconsciously caught the chip and asked with confusion on his face: “Is this…?”
“The combat auxiliary device is the latest product of our Dawn Military Company. As for its functions, Mr. List can test it himself.”
“this……”
Liszt hesitated.
Just like most children, their mothers will warn them not to eat food given by strangers.
Night City has a similar rule.
That is, don’t use other people’s Mewtwo rings and chips casually.
Because there may be chips inside.
Seeing Liszt’s hesitation, Su Xiao signaled Liszt to push the chip back.
Then he took out a laptop and inserted the chip into the laptop in front of Lister.
Use the anti-virus software in your laptop to perform a complete scan of the chip.
Let Liszt see with his own eyes that this chip is virus-free.
Only then did Liszt insert the chip into his nerve slot.
Afterwards, he clearly felt changes in his body.
He picked up the “Yinglong” smart submachine gun on the table and changed the gun-holding movements in several different postures.
Then he put down the submachine gun, clenched his fists in front of his chest, and punched out a set of smooth military punches.
When he was satisfied, Lister popped out the chip.
All previous changes are restored as they were originally made.
Liszt looked horrified.
“How is it, Mr. Lister?”
“Is this some kind of kung fu chip, Mr. Su?”
There are many kung fu chips in Night City, and Lister mistakenly thought that this was one of them.
“I named it “Combat Auxiliary”. Its function is to turn the user into a special soldier. If the user is a special soldier himself, it can also superimpose the improvement effect, allowing the user to become the king of soldiers. “
Liszt’s eyes suddenly shrank.
If what Su Xiao said is true, then the value of this combat auxiliary device is far higher than the chips sold in the city.
Then, he asked in a deep voice.
“So, what’s the price?”
He knows that any power comes with a price.
For example, the price of Si’an Westan is that no one who uses it can escape the fate of becoming a cyberpsychopath.
The cost of Kangtao’s smart guns is high, and there is no way to arm every soldier.
This chip called “Combat Auxiliary Device” can turn ordinary people into special forces.
So what does it cost?
“The combat mode can only be turned on for one hour, and will be forcibly turned off after one hour. Generally speaking, it is best to have an interval of more than one day, so that the burden on the body can be minimized.”
“But if there is an emergency, you can also open it again immediately after being forced to close, but it is strongly recommended not to do this unless it is a last resort.”
“Because it can have very serious consequences on the body, even death.”
Liszt nodded.
The more powerful the force, the more severe the side effects.
As for the “combat aid” chip, the side effects were quite acceptable and within his tolerance.
“Mr. Su, you showed me the “combat auxiliary device”. If I guessed correctly, Mr. Su wants to sell this “combat auxiliary device” to our country, right? “
“That’s right.”
“Okay, then give me a price.”
“The price of each “combat auxiliary device” is 700,000 euros. If it fails due to quality problems, it will be replaced within one year. “
As a landlocked country in North America and the frontline bridgehead against the New America, the Republic of Texas has continuously received a large amount of economic assistance from the Arasaka Company since the Unification War (also known as the Metal War).
After Arasaka Yorinobu came to power, the Republic of Texas gained much more than during the period of Saburo Arasaka.
Arasaka Yorinobu made no secret of his hostility to military technology, and the Republic of Texas never believed that it could coexist harmoniously with the new United States.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
Arasaka Company increased its support to the Republic of Texas, and the latter, as Arasaka Yorinobu expected, invested money in military expenditures and wildly expanded its military strength.
The Arasaka Corporation has provided so much aid to Texas, including tens of billions of dollars in subsidies, that one has to bow to Arasaka Yoshinobu after seeing it.
That’s why Su Xiao came to Liszt.
Not only because the Republic of Texas has money, but also because they have real
Existential crisis.
They are old enemies with the new United States, and there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
Although the Unification War ended in 2070, most Texans did not think that this was the advent of peace, but just an armistice.
Liszt frowned after hearing Su Xiao’s quotation.
“Seven hundred thousand euros? Mr. Su, are you kidding me?”
Lidya Su shook her head.
“I never joke when it comes to serious business.”
“Mr. Su, do you know that it only costs 500,000 euros to train a SEAL? It is impossible for our country to spend 700,000 euros to buy a combat auxiliary device that can only be turned on for one hour.”
Su Xiao knew that Liszt would raise the seal’s training fee.
After all, the Navy SEALs are one of the most famous special forces.
“You are generally right, Mr. Lister, but please allow me to point out some areas where you have not considered it well.”
“First of all, the training cost for SEALs is indeed half a million euros, but it depends on the situation. Not every country has the conditions to train special forces.”
Liszt said proudly.
“The Republic of Texas certainly has the conditions to cultivate special forces. Mr. Su may not have heard of the name of our country’s special forces “Shadows.” “
“During the war of unification, our country’s special forces “Shadow” successfully blocked and severely damaged the new American army that invaded our country many times, making them famous. “
Su Xiao waved her hand, signaling Liszt not to interrupt her words.
“Mr. Liszt, don’t worry. Of course I know how powerful your country’s “Shadow” is, but if I’m not mistaken, your country’s “Shadow” only has 1,500 people, right? “
Liszt’s expression changed slightly.
“what do you want to say in the end?”
“The number of special forces is not only restricted by funds, but also restricted by many aspects. As long as the money is in place, it is not certain that excellent soldiers can be trained.”
“People are different. No matter how hard you train Liu Chan, you can’t turn him into Zhao Yun.”
“However, the “Combat Auxiliary Device” is different. You can see its effect with your own eyes. “
“No matter how talented you are, you can still become an outstanding soldier of the special forces when you turn on combat mode.”
