Chapter 416 Singularity Particles
Reardon feels a headache: Something major is happening in the Marvel world that can affect the situation and direction of the world, here in Night City.
Okay, it is also happening. Major events affecting the situation in Night City.
On one side is the presidential election, and on the other side is the mayor’s mission and election. Things from both sides are coming together.
And now there is a huge trouble: now that it is known that the source of unstable energy explosions is related to high-energy concentrated oil, as the situation escalates, Roxon will inevitably increase the production of this stuff.
< br>
Hypothetically, it is hypothesized that so-called bursts of unstable energy are a side effect of the high-energy concentrated oil production process.
That means that the time that Lille’s main consciousness stays in a certain world will become shorter and shorter, and it will become more and more out of control!
For example, now, V called him, but in another world, his phone was also busted!
First of all, no matter what greater conflicts the result causes, this time it is Atlas Group's victory.
Somalia is now stable, and Africa is on a firm footing. It only takes a few days for the rescue team to rescue the people.
As for the radioactive dust near the mine deposits, it is entirely possible for workers to wear heavily protective exoskeletons or even remotely control Tanzanian engineering robots to mine minerals.
As for those radioactive wastes, it is not a problem as long as the SCFR reactor is started:
This kind of reactor only needs to keep running and does not need to deal with nuclear waste. Nuclear waste will always maintain a low level in the waste in the recycling module.
As Leal packed his things and prepared to go out, he began to control himself in another world and use a secret line to contact Secretary of State Barnes.
[Lille: Mr. Secretary, I want to know your attitude. 】
[Barnes: Carter’s attitude is my attitude. How is she doing now? 】
[Liel: Not very good, a broken hand, severe burns, if not for the super soldier serum, she would be dead now. 】
[Barnes: What the hell are these damn things? ]
[Liel: A robot using some kind of high-energy fuel exploded, and her shield was shattered. 】
【Barnes: This is impossible.】
[Lear: Nothing is impossible, Howard Stark built that shield, and his son built a robot that can blow up the shield. 】
[Lille: Let me tell you the truth, I hope you can run for president. The men and ships of the Berry Army are in the hands of the African Union. You can use this to make a fuss. 】
The other side was silent for a moment and gave Lille a completely unexpected reply.
[Barnes: In fact, the Roxon Group has also contacted me, and they also want me to run for president. 】
Although the result is to become president, the two approaches definitely symbolize different things.
The current president has completed two terms and must be replaced by the next one. The Roxon Group has already selected a candidate, and in the past few years, its support rate has been far ahead of the candidate of another party.
But now, the appearance of Captain Carter has obviously given Roxon a sense of crisis.
To some extent, they want to force Barnes to take a side, and they don’t want him to be a walleye whose position is unclear.
[Barnes: I'm thinking, maybe I can openly accept their support and wait until I run.]
[Lille: That's too risky for me . 】
Leal didn't want to make another lapse in judgment caused by character stereotypes.
Barnes is not the Winter Soldier, not the guy who was brainwashed to be a super soldier killer for decades, but an old guy who has been in politics for decades.
How does Lille know who he will be with?
[Barnes: Yes, it's too risky for you, but that's the only way to win everything. 】
Defraud Roxon of his sponsorship, kick him out at the last moment, and return the support of Atlas Group. In this way, Roxon lost the opportunity to use the excuse of "Berry Country Palace" to act arrogantly. .
Moreover, most of Roxon's military resources are highly tied to the Berry Army.
If the president is disobedient, he really can't mobilize the army on a large scale as a company, and the possibility of launching a war suddenly becomes infinitesimal. .
If you choose to pick another candidate by yourself
Things will be much more troublesome. Lille does not have a suitable candidate. Even if he has great appeal, he hastily introduced candidates. , there was no time to build momentum and preparations, and the chance of winning was extremely slim.
So eventually, he may be forced to work with another party and let them put forward a candidate
This choice is also a headache.
After all, Roxon has been planning these things for a long time, and Atlas, which has only one year of development, has always been a challenger.
After thinking for a moment, various possibilities flashed through Lille's mind, and he finally decided to adopt Barnes' approach.
The fact is that Lille did not have much choice but to take risks.
[Liel: Okay, you can negotiate with Wakanda, but I will still openly support the candidate of another party. 】
[Barnes: Thank you. 】
[Lille: But this is not safe for you either. The last president who was ready to change his policies after being elected had a hole in his forehead that could not be damaged by a bullet. ]
[Barnes: That depends on your support. I think your electric cars are pretty good. 】
Hang up the communication, Leal stood in front of the door and took a deep breath - he has always lived in two worlds, and the Marvel world is like a huge wave about to hit, rushing towards the crumbling civilization.
In the cyberpunk world, that huge wave has swept through the world many times, leaving behind ruins full of trauma and conspiracy.
One world requires him to contact people to build flood control embankments, and the other world requires him to carefully pick up bricks and tiles in the ruins.
He does not want to give up on either world. Ultimately, he hopes to build equally brilliant buildings in both cities.
From now on, the pressure of this dual-line operation begins to really appear.
As if feeling Lille's pressure, the octopus arm around the waist pulled Lariel's coat, came to him and shook it in front of Lille.
[Little Octopus: Brother, I will fully support you! (_)】
Liel smiled and controlled the door to open.
[Lille: Let’s see what new tricks Night City plans to come up with. 】
【Unstable energy is about to explode】
【Countdown: 48 hours】
Houston, Roxon Energy Group's large refinery.
“You mean, Stark is exhausted now?”
Dario stood on the energy tower wearing sunglasses, with a strange robot at hand.
[Jarvis: Yes, as Mr. Stark's intelligent butler, I will complete the relevant work on his behalf. 】
“Interesting.” Dario glanced at the robot, “Are you sure this method can increase production?”
[Jarvis: I am sure that I have recorded all the adjustments of the AI robot in the battlefield. I believe that there is room for further improvement of this energy source. 】
[Jarvis: This is also Mr. Stark’s judgment. 】
“Okay.” Dario waved his hand towards his engineer, signaling to start the experiment.
The engineer nodded and began to operate the console.
As he completed the unlocking and settings step by step, a line of large characters suddenly appeared on the screen:
[Singularity particle purification experiment started]
[Target purity: 50%]
[Energy supply increased.]
[Purity estimate: 20%]
【Estimated purity: 30%】
[Estimated purity: 50%]
A total of 12 energy towers with a height of more than 80 meters in the refinery light up at the same time!
The space in the center of the energy tower seemed to be polluted by some strange colors, and these colors became more and more vivid.
Dario looked at this scene and smiled: "50% currently The highest purification concentration so far, our engineers believe that the limit of current materials science is 60%, but we haven’t tried it yet.”
[Jarvis: We can reach 60% this time. 】
"But our scientists also said that only when the purity reaches more than 99% can it be possible to draw energy from the quantum field or other places."
[Jarvis: Yes, but advanced materials science does not support it. Such an experiment, so I strongly recommend that you pay attention to the resource of vibranium. 】
“That’s interesting, Stark said it too.”
[Jarvis: Yes, Mr. Stark said it too. 】
Dario looked at the strange colors in the sky becoming more and more vivid, showing a look of joy——
This robot is not lying, nor is it a fool. Its improvements are effective.
"Vibranium, right? I do know that there is still a little bit somewhere, so let's treat it as a decommissioning mission for that thing."
[Target purity: 60%]
[Countdown to singularity particle purification and explosion: 48 hours]
