Chapter 714 The Unfinished Song
Johnny Silverhand is a rock star.
Although he does not have a record company or a manager from a big company, and the money he earns is not enough for him to live in a big house, compared to bands and musicians with mature business models, he is immature. A poor guy is naturally not so red--
But if being so red is the first echelon, he is definitely the second echelon, and he has surpassed the third echelon unprecedentedly in Night City. A rock star of the first echelon.
Music is contagious, and his performance is of a type that has absolutely no rivals. It is precisely because of his talent that he was able to achieve the feat of attacking Arasaka Tower:
The attack on Arasaka Tower was a very sudden plan. In order to cover up people's eyes and avoid the Arasaka intelligence network that was everywhere, they only started to take real action at the beginning of the plan.
The most important part of the operation, and also the beginning, was when Johnny Silverhand issued a notice to hold a free concert in front of Arasaka Tower!
An impromptu concert, short notice, and only a few hours of reaction time. Johnny did not even doubt his charm. He did it all easily, even beyond imagination. Well done——
When the concert reached its climax, crazy people even dared to throw Molotov cocktails at Arasaka Tower!
Although Lille dislikes this second-rate guy in many ways, in the past, or most of the time, he would not have chosen to be friends with such a guy.
But fate is so wonderful.
The bastard Johnny appeared in his head, and he inexplicably occupied his computing power, and even interfered with his work. Thinking from a normal and rational perspective, his mind was filled with thoughts on how to solve his needs. In some cases, limit or even eliminate this useless thing.
But maybe there is an imprint of the soul in the sector that truly maintains human thinking. There has been a fusion between the two of them to a certain extent, and Lille suddenly had a new idea:
Essentially speaking, Johnny, the unlucky guy, didn't do anything wrong, so he was inexplicably bound to Lear.
It can even be said that Johnny was originally a passerby, and it was only because Leal needed it that he captured his consciousness, a native consciousness of the cyberpunk world.
If a passerby he captured is disobedient, does not follow his own will, refuses to communicate, allows hostility to grow, and wants to eliminate the opponent once and for all
then he will be the same as Johnny.
It can even be said that this kind of thinking may be more similar to those who are far worse than Johnny.
He suddenly thought that in the original work of "Cyberpunk 2077", the relic chip was capable of completely overwriting the consciousness and thinking of the person being inserted, eliminating a person from both hardware and software at the same time, and turning that person into another person. The role of one person.
Now that I have not been penetrated, but I have contracted bad habits because of these trivial things, isn't that even weaker?
Lille also places the hopes of many people on him. He does not want to become changeable and become a person that is completely contrary to his ideal self.
What's more, Johnny is not a bad guy at heart, he just has no brains on many issues - there are many ordinary people in this world who have no brains. Is it like Arasaka, Ye's Group, and Military Technology? People use various means to force them to do the same?
【Lille: I thought you would choose a song with a more familiar style. 】
In the factory, Johnny controlled Lear's arm as if controlling his own hand.
The transforming ability of Transformers, coupled with the cutting-edge ergonomics and motor neurology knowledge in Leal's head, made Johnny almost unable to feel any difference between this hand and a human hand.
He didn't choose to rock out - he didn't even choose to sing.
A 44-beat ditty, with an 8-beat break at the beginning, and a mechanical arm slapping the guitar twice.
The thin mechanical fingers teased the strings, and the beat speed was about 140. In theory, this is very fast, but Johnny's performance didn't feel fast, and it didn't even sound complicated.
As for why it is "around 140", it's because Johnny turned off the calibration clock.
Musicians hope to have a rhythm as precise as a clock, but Johnny refuses to really have a rhythm at the level of an atomic clock.
The tune is soothing and rhythmic, unique but not complicated. It reminds Lear of his days at Camp Adelaide, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The badland is a calm cloudy day, the sun is setting, Jack, V, Panam, Thor Well, there was even David's little gang.
There were many people. In fact, they had never drank together in the bad land, but Leal could just recall such a scene.
Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was missing from this song: other instruments and vocals were missing.
Maybe it's missing, but there are other strange things, because this song doesn't sound as violent as most rock, especially not the "Samurai" style rock.
The passage ends abruptly at the climax, as if the scene suddenly ends after people raise their glasses to drink together. Sam was stunned: he had never seen Transformers actually play music.
As for whether it sounds good or not, as long as you are human, it is difficult to ignore Johnny's music.
The Autobots can clearly hear its rhythm, pitch and intensity changes, which obviously have no mechanical sense. It is completely human music——
Except for the special type of Bumblebee , Transformers can’t even listen to music, so how can they create music that humans like?
The conclusion is that this was a human bomb.
After Johnny finished talking, he held the guitar without moving or speaking, as if he was pretending to be an expert.
[Lille: I feel like I haven’t finished playing. 】
[Johnny: Because it’s not finished yet, this is rock and roll, just played with acoustic guitar. Of course it sounds different, and the bass is missing. 】
[Johnny: Also, rock music is not noisy. You think it is noisy because the emotions in the songs are too strong. When expressed directly, it is shocking. 】
[Johnny: It’s not the music that has no soul. They don’t understand it because they are idiots. Okay, I’ll leave it to you next. 】
Johnny returned to the sector honestly, and after taking over the body, Leal put the acoustic guitar against the wall.
Unfinished song? So it's not released?
But why did Lil feel that the melody sounded familiar
"Are you really human?" Sam opened his mouth.
“Nonsense.” Lear jumped up to the workbench and patted Sam on the shoulder, “Are you inferior? You didn’t expect that your human part can’t compare to me, a robot? Don’t think too much, I There really is a PhD in another world”
"Lear." Optimus Prime interrupted the chat between the two, "What are you going to do next? I detected that you inserted a device into Sam's nervous system. This kind of device has never been studied by us."
"You're right if you haven't studied it. You are Transformers. You have never seen humans before coming to Earth. The reverse method makes people It is difficult for a class to have its own research direction.
This thing can read Sam’s EEG signals very safely and export the information to his brain.
If you are lucky.”
Sam was alert: "Wait a minute, wait a minute. What does it mean to be lucky?"
"Literally, if you just read the EEG signal, I'm sure of it, but to get you back to normal, I have to extract the fire source energy inside.
I have never done this kind of work. , there may be risks."
As he spoke, Leal glanced at Optimus Prime.
The latter immediately understood what Lear meant: "Unless there is someone who knows Cybertron technology better than you to help you, do you want to say this?"
Lear nodded with his hands spread. .
Optimus sighed and Leal could even smell the oil.
"Iron, ambulance."
