Chapter 808 Save yourself and harm everyone?
After reading all the information, Elliot became even more silent, not knowing what to say.
".I usually call this kind of thing a scab." Elliot paused after saying, "But is he right? I mean, I feel that it is nonsense to watch all the British and French channels."
[Lille: Actually, it’s not a big problem. The land in Folkestone is not suitable for large-scale construction of factories. The cost is very high, and there is a chance that it will be affected by the rising sea level. 】
[Lille: So the three factories here are indeed responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the British-French channel. 】
[Lille: Once the calculated capacity is not reached before the arrival of the typhoon, resulting in a lack of maintenance of the channel during natural disasters, it may indeed cause serious consequences. 】
Unlike most situations that Lille is familiar with, here, the United Kingdom is not the main founding country of the European Union. This is mainly because it encountered two major political changes and missed the period when European barriers matured and strengthened.
However, relying on the successful transformation of network surveillance and the influence of old Britain in the world's financial field and military industry, it finally successfully integrated into the European Union
Just not that core.
As the starting point of the Anglo-French channel in the UK, Folkestone indeed plays an important role in connecting the UK and the European Union, and to a large extent, the UK is very dependent on this channel.
In the nearly two hundred years of this world, sea levels have risen, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and storms have become more frequent, and Britain's territory has shrunk significantly.
Secondly, the long political changes and military civil strife have greatly hindered development. Coupled with the population explosion caused by the plague, the core territory of the United Kingdom has been shrinking. When the situation stabilized and entered the development period, the Internet ushered in Big Crash
Just look at Folkestone and you can imagine the general state of Britain now:
An industrial city responsible for border logistics and unobstructed networks. Apart from factories, there are worker apartments. The so-called CBD area does not exist. Only integrated skyscrapers accommodate the offices of the European Union and companies.
This is a city that will never be seen under the logic of Night City: this city is a purely functional city that contributes its efforts to other cities. It does not make money itself and lacks high-value commercial activities.
But even for such a functional city, the scale is pitifully small. It is better to call it a town than a city.
Except for real big cities like London, other regions basically give blood to London
But then again, without London, without the network surveillance and other "high-tech" enterprises in London, the European Union would not look down on the United Kingdom, and the cost of consumer goods and necessities in the United Kingdom would not be transferred at all.
The value of Britain depends on London, and London's stable operation depends on its liaison with the European Union. If something goes wrong in Folkestone.
The whole of Britain will enter a state of shortage of supplies. The rich will certainly not be short of supplies, but the poor may starve to death one after another.
As a player who likes to give advice on the Internet, doesn’t Elliott understand?
It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s just that it’s hard for the human brain to think in parallel. Under the guidance of emotions, it’s common to only focus on one aspect. Of course, when you’re working hard and don’t have money, you have to complain about the company.
But a player like Elliott who likes to give pointers is familiar with all the excuses he can use to troll people, including this one: take a long-term view and take the overall situation into consideration.
If the overall situation is taken into account, the Folkestone factory can really not have any problems. Even if a lot of people in their factory are killed or injured, as long as the equipment is still good, they can be restored quickly.
In order to save his life and the people in the factory, Elliot stopped the production line in a way that would cause serious damage to the machine
Even, according to the information sent back by Lille, the damage caused by that cyber psychosis was greater.
[Johnny: Humph. If I’m not happy, others won’t be happy either. It’s really a coercion to die in the factory. 】
[Johnny: Stop brainwashing this kid, he’s not very smart. 】
Elliot was brought back to reality by Johnny's voice: "But... if there is another famine."
[Johnny: What’s wrong with the famine? At least I can live a few more months. 】
Johnny's figure appeared in the room, quickly scanning the things next to him.
[Johnny: But it would be a miserable life to live a few more months without alcohol or cigarettes. I want to smoke - why don't you smoke? How come there are still people who don’t smoke? 】
"Smoking is not good for the health. Smoking by workers will accelerate the consumption of lung filters. Depending on the intensity of smoking, the excess loss will increase by 14% to 98%. In terms of figures, it will increase by 5,000 to 20,000 per year. maintenance fee.
Compared to taking on more loans and doing heavier work, I prefer drinking soda. By the way, smoking will shorten your life! ”
[Johnny: Nonsense, why didn’t you say anything? 】【Lille: He really doesn’t need to smoke, there’s nothing to numb himself to. 】
Elliot was stunned when he heard this: not only because of Leal's words, but also because Johnny's shadow began to flicker.
The surrounding lamps began to dim as Johnny disappeared, and the applications on the computer screen were closed, flashing with black and white lines. Elliot's unrepaired prosthetic body was slightly warm, and the heat from the brain-computer interface made him feel that the entire room was full of energy. Starting to heat up.
呲.
The prosthetic eye suddenly lost all signals. The darkness for less than a second was neither long nor short: long enough to clearly feel the darkness, but short enough that Elliot had no time to scream.
[Lille: Done. 】
When the darkness dissipated, the disheveled man with a silver arm disappeared, replaced by a metal iron man wearing a cloak.
It was Leal who appeared in Eliot's visual system.
Johnny is a pure digital soul and the black wall will not react to him, but Leal and Muramasa are not.
But now Lear can be a special AI enough to escape the black wall——
In other words, he is a unique and special AI.
Lear just appeared in Elliot's head. The latter had a feeling that his brain was out of control. It felt like something was suppressing his heart. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or if his brain was really out of control. Question.
"Uh, brother, I'm laid off now, and I still have more than 4,000 yuan in my pocket. Considering my previous consumption, it is estimated that it will bottom out next month."
Lille glanced at him: "I have taken over the apartment, and you don't need to spend money on daily expenses"
After speaking, Lille whispered in his heart: I didn’t expect that I would be reduced to helping people make false accounts to avoid daily expenses such as rent, water and electricity
"Really?"
Lille didn't speak, but looked down at Elliot expressionlessly, who suddenly lay down on the sofa:
"Brother! Teach me cyber skills! I want it."
"I think what you need to learn most now is not cybernetic technology." Lear interrupted him, "Your brain and your thoughts are the first things that need to be armed.
Muramasa taught you for so long, and based on his feedback, you started thinking about other things halfway through. ”
[Muramasa: Mainly some fantasies, fantasies about having human mating after being rich and powerful, and being bullied first, and then bullied again. 】
Elliot jumped up after hearing this, his face flushed: "How can you still peek at what I am thinking!"
[Muramasa: You have a lot of plots like this in your memory. A little comparison of your physiological conditions when you watch these things will make it clear. 】
Lille looked at Elliot's cowardice and shook his head helplessly.
If you are new to the cyberpunk world, then when you meet V, you will get SSR; if you have no choice but to enter this kid's head, that is.
Got R? Of course not, the game company went bankrupt just after I entered the game.
Lille waved his hand: "Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay."
Lear disappeared into the air, and Elliot, who was full of curiosity and expectations for the future, heard this sentence:
[Lille: What do you think of the person who fired you? 】
