Chapter 148 Dismantling the Grasshopper
"I can't fix this anyway."

Ke Ling took the helmet and looked at it. The technical content of this thing was a bit too high for his current level.

He can still try to repair the hardware, but he really doesn't have much involvement in software, so he hasn't installed a network access warehouse.

There are too many things to learn. He is mainly taking the physical line now, and has not yet started to develop the ability of the hacker line.

"Normally, this virtual reality interface is Segadari's core technology."

Jack Wells takes it for granted. After all, Segadelli is a giant company in the gaming industry, and the virtual reality interface is the core of the core. Anyone can figure it out?

"Sega is the best in the world?"

Ke Ling smiled. These words reminded him of a certain uncle from another world.

"I don't know if I am number one or not, but it is better than Ju Hard anyway."

V complained. It seemed that he had been tricked by Judong and bought half-finished games.

"Found in Dogtown, Kurt Hansen's stuff."

"Where did you get a Grasshopper?!"

The "Alvin Agreement" signed a few years ago bound Arasaka, Military Technology and other forces, including their military forces stationed in Night City, heavy weapons that can be used in the city, etc., all of which are restricted within the scope of the agreement. .

Especially for the people of Night City, there is no ACPA in the city now. After all, the urban area of ​​Night City is bound by the "Alvin Agreement".

"Call Lao Wei and ask."

The call was answered with a beep, and Lao Wei appeared in the video. He hadn't gotten up yet and looked a little sleepy.

Lao Wei clearly saw that the head of the "grasshopper" had been broken into pieces. Obviously, the method by which Ke Ling and the others obtained this thing was not through formal channels.

Ke Ling's words made Lao Wei stunned again. Why did these three guys end up in Dog Town? And stole a Grasshopper from Kurt Hansen?
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the only place where he could grab a Grasshopper was a truly lawless place like Dog Town.

"Yeah, we can't fix it, let's see if you can do anything."

Through the video connection, Lao Wei saw the "Grasshopper" mecha standing in the room. He was dumbfounded and woke up.

But Ke Ling didn't mind letting Lao Wei come over and give it a try. It just opened the old guy's eyes and let him see this real war machine.

At that time, Arasaka Yorinobu began to send a large number of troops to Night City and directly regarded the "Alvin Agreement" as if it were nothing. Of course, he would no longer abide by the various restrictions on weapons in the "Alvin Agreement". He would not abide by it. Naturally, other forces will no longer abide by it, and Night City will be really lively at that time.

Weapons like ACPA are strictly restricted and are not allowed to appear in Night City as heavy weapons. After all, ACPA is a "human tank" and can cause too much damage.

V interjected, Ke Ling didn't agree with what she said. In fact, he had a way to repair it. Although he didn't know the physical method, he knew the biological method.

Jack had a headache. He could only say that the ACPA's confidentiality measures were very good and it was indeed inaccessible to ordinary people.

"Breaked?"

Speaking of Lao Wei, V immediately suggested. The three of them had no objections to this and directly made a video call to Lao Wei.

Ke Ling turned the angle of view and showed the ACPA "Grasshopper" to Lao Wei. The shooting effect of the prosthetic eye was still very good, and the "Grasshopper" mecha appeared completely in front of Lao Wei.

After all, for Kurt Hansen, the "Alvin Agreement" obviously has no binding force. He doesn't care about the treaty signed by Arasaka and Military Technology. If he did, he wouldn't stand on his own.

"Does Lao Wei know how to repair it? It feels so awkward. We ordinary people have never been exposed to this thing."

Only after the filial son Yorinobu Arasaka strangled his father Saburo Arasaka to death, lovingly staged a scene of a loving father and a filial son, and then blamed it on "military technology", was it possible for ACPA to appear in Night City.

"Wait for me, I'll be there right away."

Lao Wei packed up his things and set off without hesitation. As a prosthetic doctor, of course he was also interested in this kind of thing.

After hanging up the phone, Ke Ling and the other three began to wait for Lao Wei. V and Jack sat aside, while Ke Ling was still hanging around "Grasshopper".

Compared with Ke Ling, it can be said that V and Jack don't even understand the basics. Even if they are interested, they can only wait aside.

Of course, Ke Ling's technical level is not enough for him to understand the structure of this thing, let alone try to make one.

"Can Lao Wei do it?"

Ke Ling thought that it was not impossible to rub a mecha by hand. A certain military technology engineer named Thomas Star could do it.

Of course, Thomas Star's hand-made mecha is very simple, and it can be said to be very different from the ACPA like "Grasshopper".

First make an exoskeleton, then use some metal sheets as armor, add a flame launcher, connect the power, and complete it. It took a total of one month, while still being locked in a cave.

This mecha is very simple and feels very familiar. Yes, it is exactly the same as Iron Man's Mark 1. The story of Thomas Star is also similar to that of Iron Man.

If Thomas Star could do it, Ke Ling felt that Lao Wei would be able to do it, too. Although Lao Wei's technology was obviously more medical-oriented, he definitely still had some mechanical skills.

I just don’t know if Lao Wei can do something about this ACPA. The technological content of "Grasshopper" is obviously much higher than that of "Mark 1".

After waiting for a while, Lao Wei drove over. He was obviously fully awake. He drove over at lightning speed. Lao Wei entered the room directly and saw the standing "Grasshopper" mecha.

After seeing the "Grasshopper" mecha clearly, Lao Wei became more and more surprised. Has Ke Ling's strength actually grown to the point where he can defeat a "Grasshopper" mecha head-on?

Lao Wei knew that V and Jack would definitely not be able to do such a thing. The only one who could do this was Ke Ling. He knew that Ke Ling had become stronger again, but he did not expect to become so strong.

"Lao Wei, can you fix this thing?"

V stepped forward and asked, but she actually didn't have much hope. Even Lao Wei would have difficulty repairing such a thing, right?
"Let me take a look first. I haven't seen this thing in many years."

Lao Wei did not come to a conclusion immediately. He walked to the "grasshopper" and inspected it carefully. It looked decent.

"I haven't seen you for a long time?"

Lao Wei's words made Ke Ling and the three of them stunned. Does this mean they have seen him before? And it has been repaired before?
"What's weird? When I was young, there was an ACPA in Night City."

Lao Wei said something while checking, but he didn't mention anything about the past. Obviously he didn't intend to talk about "Yong Yong".

"That seems to be true. There is indeed an ACPA in Night City." Jack Wells said, but what he didn't say was that even if there was, it was not something that ordinary people could have access to. Would it be the same if they had seen it and practiced it? ? Not a concept at all.

Ke Ling coughed dryly and said that he wanted Lao Wei to see him, but it turned out that they were bumpkins, and Lao Wei had seen more of them than they did.

"You are so broken that it cannot be repaired. This operating system is completely scrapped and can only be replaced with a new one."

After looking at it, Lao Wei came to the conclusion that he couldn't repair it. This thing was updated too fast and was completely different from what he had seen when he was young. Moreover, they did not have the supporting materials here, so there was no way to repair this operating system. .

"Doesn't that mean we can only sell scrap metal?"

V complained that the core operating system of this "Grasshopper" is the virtual reality interface. If it cannot be repaired well, "This Grasshopper" cannot even start and cannot be used at all.

"no way."

Lao Wei shook his head. If he can, he can, and if he can't, he can't. You can't force this kind of thing, and he can't handle it. You can't let him make up a virtual reality interface out of thin air, right?

V and Jack suddenly lost interest. They followed here just to experience the feeling of driving an ACPA. However, they couldn't fix it at all, so they couldn't try it.

"Come with joy, return with disappointment" refers to V and Jack. They said goodbye and left immediately, planning to go back and catch up on some sleep. They were tired after working so hard with Ke Ling for such a long time.

V and Jack left, leaving Ke Ling and Lao Wei in the room. Although Lao Wei couldn't repair the "Grasshopper" mecha, he just couldn't repair the operating system of the virtual reality interface and the structure of the "Grasshopper" He could still figure it out.

"Take it apart first and use my method to repair it."

Ke Ling took out his tools and began to study the structure of the "Grasshopper" mecha with Lao Wei. Since it couldn't be repaired with formal methods, he could only use his own method to utilize this thing.

Ke Ling's method was naturally to abandon the operating system directly. He only needed to activate all the internal parts of the "Grasshopper". Even without an operating system, he could still start the "Grasshopper" mecha. As long as it could start, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Okay, I have to rely on you, I can't take this thing apart with my strength."

Lao Wei nodded. Although he didn't know what Ke Ling wanted to do, he could help. The specific operation had to be done by Ke Ling himself. Even if he knew how to dismantle it, ordinary people would not be able to do it. It is so easy to dismantle this thing. There is no way to go to the battlefield.

"no problem."

Ke Ling responded, and then began to take action under the command of Lao Wei. However, this thing was indeed difficult to dismantle. Ke Ling directly entered form three, showing the "devil behemoth" form. He bent down and started Dismantling "Grasshopper".

"you."

Seeing Ke Ling in this form, Lao Wei opened his mouth wide. He now understood how Ke Ling defeated this "grasshopper" mecha. This demonic beast looked very oppressive.

"Is it the Rc cell?"

Lao Wei noticed a familiar feeling. He was the one who transplanted the first four Hebao cells to Ke Ling. He was naturally familiar with Rc cells. He didn't expect that these cells could actually do this. This thing was completely beyond his control. beyond his understanding.

It can save people, speed up recovery from injuries, resist weapon damage, turn into wings, tentacles, carapace, and turn into this kind of demonic beast. What exactly are these Rc cells? Where do biotech companies get this technology from?
"Yes, it's Rc cells."

Ke Ling did not deny it, nor did he explain much. He let Lao Wei figure it out on his own, and the biotechnology company took the blame firmly for me.

"."

Lao Wei sighed, and then began to direct. The two dismantled the "Grasshopper" bit by bit. Soon, the disassembly was completed, and the original "Grasshopper" mecha was turned into parts.

Under Lao Wei's guidance, Ke Ling roughly figured out the functions of the internal parts of the "Grasshopper". Of course, even if he doesn't understand now, he will probably be able to figure out what those parts are used for after the flesh and blood activation is completed. of.

But it is easier to have Lao Wei help after all. This thing is very complicated, and it may take a long time to figure it out by yourself. At this time, the role of intelligence attribute is reflected.

"The crystallization of industry and the power of science and technology."

Looking at the parts on the ground, Lao Wei sighed with emotion. These war machines often best reflect the level of human technology and industry. After all, these things are linked to life, power, and status. Only with powerful weapons can you have that. Everything, the truth is often only within the range of the cannon.

"Lao Wei, can this thing be reproduced?"

Ke Ling put forward his idea. If this thing could be reproduced, it would be distributed. The price of a "Grasshopper" is not cheap.

"It can't be done, it can't be done at the industrial level."

Lao Wei shook his head. This kind of thing cannot be made in a manual workshop. It must have high-precision instruments to do it.

If the industrial level can be achieved and the material supply is sufficient, then Lao Wei may not be able to imitate the "Grasshopper", but obviously, these two conditions are quite harsh, and the one he created does not have a virtual reality interface operating system.

"alright."

Ke Ling nodded. This was not surprising. Lao Wei could definitely make a mecha like the "Mark 1" like the "Iron Man of Night City", but it would be a bit difficult to make an ACPA.

ACPA's various high-precision parts are not easy to make. The most important thing is that the energy core and power source are the most difficult to reproduce. Whether it can be made or not is another matter. There are no materials at all.

After the disassembly was completed, Lao Wei also left. He also thoughtfully drew a drawing for Ke Ling. While directing Ke Ling to disassemble the "Grasshopper", he himself was not idle and drew a drawing for Ke Ling.

With this picture, Ke Ling was much more convenient. He no longer had to worry about installing the wrong parts. He began to activate the flesh and blood of these parts.

Soon, all the parts were activated by flesh and blood. Ke Ling had to be grateful that Lao Wei left him a piece of paper, because after some trivial parts were activated by flesh and blood, it would be difficult to tell where to install them. If you want to keep the shell, it is really not as convenient as directly activating the whole flesh and blood.

The disadvantage of activating the entire flesh and blood of the "Grasshopper" mecha is that it cannot be used during the day. This is obviously a bit inappropriate for a mecha. This layer of shell is only used during the day.

According to the drawings, Ke Ling began to assemble the "Grasshopper" mecha. It really felt a bit like assembling a Gundam, although this was a pocket version of the Gundam, and its performance was vastly inferior.

Soon, the assembly was completed, and the brand new "Grasshopper" mecha stood up again. The head had been repaired by the old maintenance man. The operating system could not be repaired. It would be no problem to get some steel to plug the gap. Of course, it was beaten. The patch is not as strong as the original.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling had an idea, and the "Grasshopper" restarted. The energy core began to operate, and all components began to rotate. The performance of the "Grasshopper" after being activated by flesh and blood has not improved, but the difference from the normal "Grasshopper" is that it has more Entered an overload mode.

The classic "overload mode", the parts can be regenerated anyway, the energy core is spinning as hard as I can, and it's done until I die.

Ke Ling pulled out the flesh puppet No. 10 from the shadow space, and then controlled the flesh puppet No. 10 to enter the "Grasshopper" mecha. This flesh puppet is the natural pilot. If the "Grasshopper" enters the overload mode, the entire mecha will be severely damaged. Overheated, but the flesh puppet equivalent to the humanoid Kuink is not afraid of heat.

Moreover, even if the mecha's defense is pierced and the flesh puppet is pierced in the head, Ke Ling can still continue to control the "grasshopper", because the flesh puppet is not a living thing in the first place. Even if it is beaten to pieces, as long as He Bao is not broken, Ke Ling can Ling can still manipulate.
