Chapter 46 Soul Killer

"Ms. Nadia, you will also be the best CEO ever in the history of Trauma Team. 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 rejected Leon, then he wouldn't mind cooperating with Arasaka Yorinobu and using Arasaka's power to build an "first aid team" to seize the Trauma Team's business.

Although Arasaka Yorinobu is indeed a bit rebellious, he still cares very much about the company's affairs. If there is a beneficial business cooperation, Yorinobu will definitely agree to it.

Fortunately, Nadiya La agreed to cooperate this time, so the trauma team's emergency service did not collapse completely.

A company executive like this who knows the times is the ally that Leon urgently needs.

Leon is not afraid of competing head-on with other companies, but he still feels a little troubled by short-sighted little characters like Knapp who waste his time.

This is like stepping on dog shit. Although it is not a life-threatening matter, it makes you feel uncomfortable.

"Thank you."

Nadia smiled and watched the Atlas hovercraft gradually rise into the air and then disappear from her sight.

Inside the hovercraft, Leon finally took a break. Dealing with this group of shrewd capitalists in Europe was quite tiring.

In the negotiation just now, the reason why Leon dared to use an aggressive attitude to confront Knapp and Nadia was that he grasped the "profit-seeking" nature of the Trauma Team Company.

The financial backers of the trauma team have no interest in, 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 will be easy.

LA company has done well in the fields of hovercraft, security, and weapons. They used their technology to severely defeat the trauma team, so they can accept it with a pinch of their nose.

But once it comes to nanorobot treatment or medical-related fields, LA will either be acquired by the trauma team or fight desperately!

"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's headquarters. Do you need to meet him?"

To be honest, Lucy didn't have a good impression of the rock kid Johnny Silverhand. He wrote rebellious anti-corporate and anti-official remarks in his lyrics all day long, but there was no valuable constructive guidance.

They are 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. He probably needs my help with something important!"

Leon knew Johnny Silverhand's bad temper very well. He would not easily speak to others unless he encountered a very difficult and fatal problem. To put it bluntly, he was a dead tsundere.

"Let him in first and say we are coming back."

After saying that, Leon looked at the towering neon buildings outside the hovercraft. He had roughly guessed Johnny's purpose this time. He was afraid that the real trouble had 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. It was a projection of an old man with a hunched back in plain kimono.

This old man is the founder of Arasaka Corporation, Arasaka Saburo! "Shiro Azuma, what's the situation now?"

Far away in Tokyo, Saburo Arasaka uses holographic technology to project an image as if he were there in person, firmly controlling Arasaka's branch company in Night City.

"Ott Cunningham is working on Soul Killer 2.0 for us. I have assigned three elite hackers to keep an eye on her. She doesn't dare to make any small moves!"

The person who was speaking was the network director of Arasaka Corporation, his name was Ahasushiro Harada. He was in charge of the company's first key project chosen by Saburo Arasaka, which was the [Soul Killer] AI program!

Strictly speaking, the current 1.0 version of Soul Killer is more like a network defense system based on AI. Although it also has certain attack capabilities, it is more troublesome to use.

Because the Soul Killer AI version 1.0 has not been memory optimized, the data space it needs to occupy is quite large.

If Arasaka Corporation's "Mikoto" server was not powerful enough, it would be a bit difficult to run it fully.

It is for this reason that ITS, the 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 is that it can accommodate artificial intelligence personalities, store human memories and personalities, and digitize human souls, ITS did not care too much about it.

However, ITS doesn't care. Arasaka Corporation, which eavesdropped on the news about the AI ​​Soul Killer, regards it as a treasure!

What Arasaka Corporation has currently asked Ott Cunningham to produce is the 2.0 version of the Soul Killer AI.

This version of the Soul Killer can easily implant the program into any electronic device, destroying the consciousness of people equipped with prosthetic devices!
In simple terms, it is to use AI to burn out the target person's brain.

With this thing, Arasaka Corporation has absolute control over cyberspace. Disobedient deep-dive hackers can have their consciousness data captured by AI in minutes, or have their brains burned out on the spot.

In addition, the Soul Killer 2.0 version can already preliminarily imprint human consciousness onto the terminal, which is quite abnormal!

This is equivalent to transforming the human soul into digital life, using electronic devices or other people's bodies as storage, to achieve true cyber ascension and immortality.

For the aging and increasingly frail Saburo Arasaka, eternal life is definitely an irresistible temptation!
"We must develop version 2.0 of the Soul Killer AI as soon as possible. I will make the military technology executives pay a heavy price!"

Saburo Arasaka's deep and hoarse voice reached the ears of every Arasaka executive clearly.

Everyone could hear the anger and eagerness in Saburo Arasaka's voice.

Now the Arasaka Corporation is waging a war against Military Technology, and any location in the world could be a battlefield for both companies.

But with the "mediation" of the European Community and various forces, the armed conflict between the two companies has come to an end.

However, Saburo Arasaka still didn'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.

According to Saburo Arasaka's plan, he will secretly upload the 2.0 version of the Soul Killer AI to the system of military technology executives through electronic devices 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, but must rely on sufficiently strong force.

The Soul Killer AI is a new technology project that is worthy of Arasaka Corporation devoting all its resources to!
