Goodwin sat in front of the dark gray desk, looking out the window behind him at the Night City in the distance under the dark night, and the orange-yellow halo gradually dimmed.
He turned his office chair around, turned on the computer on the desktop, and prepared to continue working tonight.
However, the security door of the office opened, and a graceful female employee walked in, holding a laptop in her hands.
"Anna, what are you doing here?" Goodwin asked seriously.
"Director, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I'd like you to take a look at this." The woman put her notebook on the desk anxiously.
Goodwin looked around and saw a video playing on the computer screen.
In the video, a person dressed like a reporter is reporting the news. The scene is filled with lingering flames, deafening gunshots, and occasionally the roar of exploding artillery shells.
As for the content of the news, Goodwin didn't care. He only noticed what the journalist friend said.
"... This cyberpsycho has been implanted with a large number of prosthetics. The most alarming and troublesome one for the police is a Fury 2 implant produced by Moore Technology. According to the cyber psychosis,
An investigation found that he had this prosthetic implanted the week before. People who knew him said that since then, his temper had gradually become more irritable, until today he developed cyberpsychosis...
"
"It seems that our friend is a little dishonest. Find out who this guy is and let the legal department prosecute him." Goodwin smiled and paid no attention to it.
The woman nodded, turned around and dialed the legal department quickly, and directly explained the cause and effect to the person opposite.
After making the call, she clicked a few more times on the computer, and finally moved the computer in front of Goodwin.
"By the way, director, we still need your authorization for human experiments on the latest violent plug-in."
Goodwin took a cursory glance and didn't pay much attention. He pulled out his personal cable and plugged it into the computer's interface.
"Didn't you tell me not to bother me with this little thing?" he said impatiently.
"But Director, you know that every experimenter is a veteran and a marginalized person. These materials are very precious. We dare not operate without your authorization." The woman struggled.
"Hey, how is the recent research process? Is everything going well?" Goodwin asked other questions.
The woman picked up the tablet, continued to browse the information, and replied:
"The process is going well so far. According to the plan designed by you, Director, using the relatives and friends of these experimenters, allowing the experimenters to witness the people they cherish suffering and being tortured in front of them, can indeed speed up the pathogenesis of cyberpsychosis in such people.
"
"Then we will study the entire process of their lesions, monitor their physiological changes, and finally find out the reasons for the sharp increase in combat effectiveness after becoming cyberpsychotic, and apply these research results to our products... I have to say, Director, you
This research plan is simply genius!"
The woman became more excited as she spoke, and her tone was full of praise and admiration for Goodwin.
The Furious Component, a combat prosthetic body that has been compared to the Sian Westan since its invention, is implanted in the same location as the Sian Westan.
Although the former has always been crushed by the latter, it is undeniable that the violent component also has its own unique meaning and role.
The Furious Components of Moore Technology have always been the highlight of all combat prosthetics produced by Moore Technology, accounting for the majority of the total sales of combat prosthetics.
Such a combat prosthetic body that is highly praised by countless mercenaries naturally has other manufacturers and competitors.
Biodynamics and Zeta Technology, these two companies have always been competitors of Moore Technology in terms of violent components.
"It's just a small initiative." Goodwin said humbly, but his face was full of pride:
"However, this is indeed the most cost-effective design solution. By invoking human hormones and neural responses to simulate a state of cyberpsychosis, isn't it easier than researching technologies such as impact resistance systems and treatment algorithms?"
The violent component simply turns the user into a pure killing machine by stimulating the user's nerve reflexes and through physical means such as hormone secretion.
Among them, different models of violent components often have different functions and effects, but in summary, there are still several ways to enhance them.
Make the user stronger, enhance endurance, strength, break through the limits of the human body, etc.
Some violent components even have built-in user compensation protocols, providing combat calculation capabilities, supplemented by treatment algorithm systems, defense algorithm systems, etc., to enhance the user's wound healing and ability to resist damage through nanotechnology.
In Goodwin's view, these violent components have now fallen into a research bottleneck, and the ideas of countless researchers have been imprisoned. Only he is the most sober person.
In a world of prosthetics, the state in which humans can best use prosthetics has already appeared, but many people are not aware of it.
——Cyberpsychosis!
A disease that everyone avoids like snakes and scorpions, but in Goodwin's opinion, it is the best research direction.
If all cybermaniacs get rid of their mental illnesses, then the states they retain, such as "ignoring the side effects of prosthetics" and "seeing themselves as machines that have lost their humanity," will undoubtedly be the best form of "violence"!
"Thanks to your plan, Director, we have also saved billions of euros in research costs on violent components, and I believe it will bring us more profits in the future." The woman smiled.
Compared to the development of new algorithm systems, new compensation protocols and other high technologies, the cost of just researching cyberpsychosis is ridiculously cheap.
Researching new technologies can easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

How to choose is naturally self-evident.
"By the way, how are those researchers doing?" Goodwin asked.
With a smile on her face, the woman operated the computer a few times, called up several personnel file screens, and handed them to Goodwin.
"Currently, the first person to become a cybermaniac has appeared. He is a wanderer from a bad land. His daughter came to the city to be a sex doll. We showed him the video of his daughter gradually degenerating until she died on the street. It was easy to
It drove him crazy, but he didn't have many prosthetics implanted in him, and the precious research data he obtained wasn't very sufficient."
"The second one is a marginalized person with an average degree of prostheticization and not enough qualifications to enter the afterlife bar. We showed him the tragic death of his relatives and teammates, and he went crazy as expected.
Research data is very valuable..."
The woman murmured the most ruthless evil words, but her expression was calm and calm, as if what she said was not a heinous atrocity, but small daily things.
Goodwin tapped his fingers subconsciously on the armrest of the chair, listening to the woman's report with a deep gaze.
After the woman reported everything, he asked again:
"Speaking of which, the reason why the company's stock price suddenly plummeted a few days ago, have you heard the rumor?"
"Director, are you talking about the rumors that three companies, Kang Tao, Arasaka and Military Technology, are secretly conducting internal research on neurological prosthetics?" the woman leaned over and asked.
"Yes, there is a saying in China that there is no storm without fire. No matter how this news came out, let the guys in the regulatory authorities be alert and pay close attention to the researchers in the company. These companies have not studied this type of prosthetic body before.
With so much experience, it’s not that easy to start from scratch,” Goodwin said.
Nervous system prosthetics, the best-selling ones on the market today are nothing more than Siamwestan and Furious Components.
After all, it is a classic prosthesis that has been developed since the 1920s. During this period, I don’t know how many generations of development it took to have the current model. How can I say that it can be developed through research and development.
If you want to cross the technological generation gap and develop finished products, you must either recruit people from other companies, or you must obtain important research data from other companies.
"I understand, I will ask the regulatory authorities to keep an eye on them," the woman said.
"If nothing happens, just go back to work." Goodwin waved his hand.
The woman bowed slightly, picked up her notebook and information, and left the office.
Goodwin put his hands together on the table, his blue eyes quietly staring at the computer in front of him, his eyes divergent as he thought about something.
