Chapter 671: The Hanged Man (2)
[Ballistic missiles are a cause of shared weal and woe for safety. 】
Lille has never had anything to do with the ultimate weapon of war. He only knows that peace seems to be maintained by weapons——
Everyone is afraid of someone holding the power to destroy the world. , so living in balance with fear, enjoying the dream that will break sooner or later
Of course, these are what Lille thought after understanding this technology. Before that, his thoughts were:
Now that everyone can sit down and talk, he must also work hard to lay a solid foundation for the future.
He once thought it was something prepared for peace, but in the end that thought was just self-deception.
But now, at least he can use this weapon to protect them before everything is destroyed.
In the cyberpunk world, the most powerful ballistic weapon is the European Community's orbital mass projector, which is extremely accurate. The projectile can eventually hit the target at a speed between Mach 8 and Mach 24 as needed. Deals devastating damage near the point of impact.
But this kind of speed can be achieved by the ballistic weapons technology that Lille is familiar with without the need to project from the moon!
Later in the war, every intercontinental ballistic missile they launched could fly at Mach 24. He launched thousands of these missiles!
This crude nuclear missile will eventually hit the Kujira at a speed of Mach 6-10. The specific value of this speed will depend on the specific operating conditions——
But even The lowest value is Mach 6. At Mach 6 speed, the missile flies in a weird maneuvering trajectory under the control of AI. After the Kujira disconnected from Arasaka Tower, it only had an interception rate of less than single digits!
The premise is: Lear will be on this missile.
As an AI, he has no way to resist his instinct, but he can convince himself: he can escape, at least there is a chance to escape.
That opportunity is where David attacks: a server named "Mikoshi" located underground in Arasaka Tower -
This server is loaded with Arasaka Tower's most cutting-edge soul killer research, and stores a large number of information Arasaka is researching. Digital Soul also has the most unique Digital Soul. In terms of specifications, this is definitely the world's top server!
Using this server and Arasaka’s communication antenna, Lear has a good chance to upload his data to this server after the nuclear bomb breaks through the interception network, and use Arasaka’s facilities to escape to the network——
And there is still hope of escaping the pursuit of the Black Wall.
The moment David connected with the shrine, the biggest secret of Arasaka Tower and Saburo Arasaka's most valued property in Night City was released. Hidden firewalls, through their antennas, expose this network to the air!
"They seem to be retreating!"
Jack shook off the drone in his hand, and oil sprayed out.
V cut down a military technology soldier and sucked it into the side of the Chimera:
She saw the NCPD outsourcers shouting and killing while carrying the military equipment of the Nether Dog as they went out to kill.
When fighting or killing a person, she will be extremely sensitive to the moment when the opponent relaxes, the details of falling into a disadvantage, and the end point that symbolizes the final victory. To her, those moments are as conspicuous as those in You have the same shitty expression.
But on the battlefield?
All she knew was that she was going on a killing spree!
As for when the killing will end? She didn't know, and she actually felt that the company wouldn't be able to kill them all, and they would probably run away in the end.
But now.
The company has withdrawn?
She raised her head and instinctively looked at the company square, only to see that Arasaka Tower had begun to burst into flames, and all the lights of other companies had been extinguished.
Did they win?
This idea has no real sense. Winning a war for the first time is not like winning a fight for the first time. You can hear the wails and screams of the opponent, the sound of the opponent's bones breaking, and the sounds of the internal organs. Exploding sound.
The sergeant only had one leg left, and the armor plates of Brick's two arms were all blown off. A large area of the body cables were exposed, stained with blood and unknown liquid.
Joestar is carrying a case with Mom on his back.
He, like everyone else, echoed a voice in his heart that they themselves did not believe:
They won!
The company dog ran away with its butt stuck out, the company building was dark in the middle of winter, and only their own people were left on the street
They won!
“The company dog ran away!”
"Holy shit, we fucked the company!"
"The company went bankrupt!"
"Which company."
"Idiot! I said the company went bankrupt!"< br>
Jack slapped V hard, and the expression on his face was even more joyful:
"We. We won! V, we took the company dog. It was not a company dog, it was the company dog. The company drove them away!
We can go home! We can go on vacation , you can enjoy life, you can, you can, we are real big shots now! !”
V didn’t say anything for a long time, and there was a loud noise behind her:
Boom——
She looked up and saw a missile. . Or a rocket, she didn’t understand. Anyway, he saw something like that rising into the sky. The flames at the tail were extremely dazzling, leaving a long trace of light in the sky above Dog Town.
It seems to be adding fireworks to this victory.
A floating vehicle comes from the moon.
[V: Lille? Are you in the car? 】
The missile flew towards the sky.
The company began to withdraw its troops.
Both the Arasaka Group and Military Technology began to withdraw from Taiping Prefecture.
Some people, like those gang outsourcers from NCPD, think everything is over——
More importantly, they think they have seen something extremely ridiculous: the company. The company has given up. ? !
But others are not: like Meredith Stott, like the old captain, Mr. Hands, Fiona, Sherman
They are educated and have been company employees. They understand the horrors of companies better. In fact, they are more afraid of companies and understand their methods better.
The company will not give in. Retreating can only mean one thing:
They believe that some kind of weapon of mass destruction is about to be released.
But the first thing they saw was not the company's fighter plane crossing the sky, but a small missile with a dazzling tail flame being launched from Dog Town.
A missile?
I don’t know how many coins will fall in Dog Town.
It’s just that they don’t know yet, and today is destined not to have such a result.
Lille is flying.
He saw the cheering crowd, and he saw the worried Night City.
Using Arasaka Tower's equipment, he saw the city and the place where he had struggled for a year:
This place is really dirty, smelly, messy and messy, but he met a lot of people here and started another side of his life here.
He changed this place like a street kid. The city is now full of his traces :
The unjust people fear him, the cruel people fear him, the arrogant people hate him, and the people at the bottom worship him
He is a legend, and he is the only one: he will The city became him, rather than letting the city change him.
Cyberspace is disappearing, getting farther and farther away from him.
Then he saw the Badlands and Santo Domingo further away, which were poor and barren, with only turbid sewage, foul air, and a desert with nothing
There was nothing, but it was definitely the best place in the world. The most free place.
Only by crossing the bad land can we reach the distance.
As the network in Night City became weaker and weaker, he seemed to see a long transportation route from Night City to Mexico.
In the end, he occupied a piece of cyberspace to himself, and the distance from the Night City network became a cyber desert.
This small cyberspace is composed of the missile's sensors and controllers
He can feel every subtle change in wind speed, trajectory, and speed. His consciousness is integrated with the missile, breaking through towards the sky.
He couldn't see anything anymore, only the complicated ballistic calculations, but he seemed to see Atlanta
To talk about the beginning, that's where the world began.
The missile reached its highest point and began to dive.
He suddenly found V's voice from the database.
[V: Lille? 】
Such complex emotions were sensed by him through the negative energy, provoking his sensors.
Lille suddenly remembered that he had another job besides calculating ballistics:
Reshaping the soul.
