Chapter 562 Next Stop
[Lucy: What does the moon look like? Why did they get involved here? 】
On the way back, Lucy asked a question that she had wanted to ask Lille before, because this big brother gave people the feeling that he knew everything and had been at all levels.
Gangs, NCPD, companies... everyone was attacked by them head-on, and not once did this mysterious big brother show any cowardice.
And he doesn’t have the sense of being a street kid. I would say crazy, but he always feels a little relaxed——
Of course, this is all based on the fact that they don't know that a nuclear bomb exploded in Night City last night.
In short, whether it is courage, insight or ability, the aura displayed by Lille is definitely not something that a simple street gangster can possess.
[Lille: This is normal. The moon only has oxygen, water and cement and does not need to be imported. However, production requires a large amount of equipment, and the equipment requires energy supply.]
[里Er: The situation of outer space colonization is very complicated. You can simply understand that they are very poor - very poor. They need to import supplies from the ground, otherwise they will not be able to maintain basic operations. 】
[Lille: If you can't live without the earth, you will find ways to exert influence on the ground. As for Night City, there are also orbital airlines' lunar flights. It is normal to monitor the situation here. 】
[Lille: Okay, I have nothing to do with you for the time being. Let’s report it to the network monitors. By the way, hide the part about my involvement. You can just say that you picked up a copy of the newspaper on the ground. 】
[Transfer: +5000 Euros]
Considering that this order is mainly for network monitoring and does not involve a gunfight, 5000 Euros is really not a small amount, and there is an Internet connection. No supervision commission was paid.
David has already begun to think about the moon ticket that is so close at hand——
Isn’t it just travel?
This boy's thoughts were completely different from Lucy's. The latter had the idea of abandoning everything, the company, Night City, and his own past experiences, and finding a distant place where no one knew and starting over. Want to go to the moon.
In other words, she is the kind of young person who naively wants to buy a tourist ticket to reach the moon, apply for a tourist visa and then stay there.
Liel's words punctured her fantasy to a certain extent: the moon is not only not an independent utopia, it is even a place where trade with the earth must be carried out and where connections need to be strengthened to some extent.
Freedom? restart? Doesn't exist.
Just when she was lost in thought, David suddenly spoke excitedly:
"Lucy, this way I'm only short of 50,000 euros. What about you?"
"I" Lucy looked at her account balance. In fact, if she sells what she has on hand, Okay, if she can raise a sum of 1,800 yuan, she can leave.
If it were her before, she would probably take a flight and leave next week. She wouldn't be able to stay in this night city for a second.
I feel less anxious now.
“I’m still a little behind.” Lucy said and lit a cigarette. “There’s no rush for now. Apart from Orbital Aviation’s advertisements, I haven’t heard much about the conditions of the moon.”
Qi Wei, who was in the back seat, put something on her head and stuck her head out from the back seat: "It sounds more like Night City. If I were you, I would do some research before going."
"I I know.”
If you look at it from another angle, isn’t Night City the “moon” in some people’s minds?
The collapse of the Internet has turned all networks into local area networks. The authorization and ability to communicate across ultra-long distances are basically in the hands of large companies, or in the hands of rich and powerful people.
In the outside world, Night City is also a city of dreams, but in fact the public security situation is considered to be at the bottom in the world. However, because of Night City’s unique geographical location and historical origins, with a small amount of capital, it can be seen in the city every year. A large number of immigration advertisements are placed by the outside world.
But in fact, this place cannot be said to be bad, but it is certainly not as good as advertised.
Qi Wei also lit a cigarette and continued in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "But those who were deceived into Night City can't leave, you know.
Sometimes I would think, maybe it’s not how good Night City is, but that setting foot on Night City is like embarking on the road to pursue dreams. This road, this feeling, is really hard to stop.”
The car was filled with smoke, and everyone had their own thoughts.
Speaking of which, Lucy felt that her mentality had changed a bit quickly: She must have been unable to stand people saying such nonsense to her before. I just want to go to the moon, and you have never been there. You don’t understand at all. Give it a hammer rating.
Maybe the person who spoke was too powerful. Lucy felt that Leer had really been there, and her subconscious took the words as true, as the idea of a real "experienced person".
Only David raised his fist while driving, still full of yearning: "How will you know if you don't go?"
". A car that drives you."
Moon The situation is far from what Lear can explain clearly in a few words, but to sum up, it is indeed very poor. If it is not to assist the development of the ground, the value of the lunar colony is very limited.
So in this world, there has always been only one reason why people explored the moon and eventually established the current colony:
"It's not a tourist attraction at all." Lear said as he walked. "The main reason why the European Union sponsored the European Space Agency to establish a lunar colony was to build it into a base to continue to expand its control from the beginning. It is the first lunar colony in the entire system. One ring. This base can carry weapons to deter the ground and can serve as a command center for the construction of low-Earth orbit systems."
"What is a low-Earth orbit system?"
V Asking sincerely, Jack probably knew V would ask so he didn't ask.
Reardon was here, pointing out the accessories he needed to move to the two of them——
The three of them are now moving things in the Voodoo Gang's small warehouse.
After receiving the prompt, the two of them took things off the shelves, and Lille continued:
“You can simply understand it as a device that controls the sky. Imagine that one day the company There is a huge cover on everyone’s head.”
“Then we can’t see the sky?”
“Generally speaking, there is no need to make it invisible. The level of the sky, but it can definitely be determined by who can’t see the sky.”
Leal looked around, picked up a piece of broken aluminum foil, covered it on a rubber ring, then picked up a piece of wire and inserted it.
"You can hit whoever you want, that's it - in terms of form, they can make meteorites fall on some people's heads accurately."
Open the aluminum foil and the rubber ring has been The barbed wire broke.
With the development of human technology, the exploitable range will expand with the expansion of the area controllable by military power.
From land to ocean, from ocean to sky, from sky to outer space beyond the atmosphere, and even other planets.
"That's interesting." V said with interest, carrying a box of parts, "Orbital Aviation actually lets people visit their evil plan base."
"This is not new, just like military technology They will also show people their war machines, and even sell their main war machines.”
The social complexity of the cyberpunk world is complicated here.
There has been no trade war here. In theory, most companies will not challenge the free trade system.
This was a time when powerful people instead sought to control other people, rather than really just thinking about destroying other people.
Bang.
The goods were loaded into the truck, and all the useful materials of the Voodoo Gang were evacuated. I have to say that the Muscular Man Animal Gang moved very efficiently. This time, only garbage was left in the building.
The first and second-in-commands of the Voodoo Gang, Brigitte and Placid, were tied to the hacker chairs. Their still-alive brother lay around them, with confusion in their eyes
Bridget's head kept flashing with lightning, and she was already a little desperate: "We can I’m doing something for you! There’s no need to be so cruel! We don’t have any grudges at all!”
After hearing this, Lier walked up to her and said, “You’ve done a lot on the Internet. , if my life was not strong enough in this round of turmoil, I would have been killed long ago.”
"But. But that's work! We have no personal grudges. If the Voodoo Gang is finished, Taiping Prefecture. Taiping Prefecture will be occupied by the company, will be"
Liel reached out and grabbed the thread behind Brigitte. cable for one final confirmation.
“It will be occupied by many people, but it is definitely not the company you imagined.
You are right, we have no personal grudges: but you have to make room for my little brother.
So, blame me. Why do you always have official grudges with me?
Goodbye, ranyon. ”
In desperation, Brigitte’s world became dim and blurry as the current surged!
At the Bartee Hotel, all the equipment that the Voodoo Gang had secretly hidden for many years was activated——< br>
High-frequency and high-energy chaotic signals will sweep across the entire Taiping Prefecture, like a small sun on the detection equipment.
Counting the time, the company's agents and subsequent pursuers are already there. On the way, this is their first stop.
Soon the news of the demise of the Voodoo Gang will spread throughout Night City, and new forces will rush to fill the place
A local development group formed by a group of old criminals, subsidized by the Night City City Hall And with support, this place will be filled.
Bati Hotel exploded for the second time, and the firelight illuminated the convoy slowly leaving.
Although their influence has reached its peak, Night City is no longer suitable for them to appear.
So next stop.
Dog Town.
