Chapter 416 Singularity Particles
Reardon feels a headache: Major events are happening in the Marvel world that can affect the situation and direction of the world, here in Night City.
Well, something big is happening that affects the situation in Night City.
On one side is the presidential election, on the other is the mayor’s mission and election, and 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.
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 caused, this time it was Atlas Group's victory.
Somalia is now stable, and Africa is on its own feet. 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 that radioactive waste, it's not a problem as long as the SCFR reactor is powered on:
This kind of reactor only needs to keep running and does not need to deal with nuclear waste. Nuclear waste will always remain at a low level in the waste recovery module.
As Leal packed his things and prepared to go out, he began to control himself in another world to use a secret line to contact Secretary of State Barnes.
[Lear: Mr. Secretary, I want to know your attitude. 】
[Barnes: Carter’s attitude is my attitude. How is she doing now? 】
[Liel: Not very good, with a broken hand and severe burns. If it weren’t for the super soldier serum, she would be dead now. 】
[Barnes: What the hell are these people? 】
[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, Captain Carter's appearance has obviously given Roxon a sense of crisis.
It's somewhat of a desire to force Barnes to take sides, as he doesn't want him to be a walleye whose position is unclear.
[Barnes: I'm thinking, maybe I can openly accept their support and then wait until I run.]
[Lear: 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 could Lear know who he would be with?
[Barnes: Yes, it's too risky for you, but that's the only way to win it all. 】
By defrauding Roxon of his sponsorship, kicking him away at the last moment, and getting support from the Atlas Group, Roxon lost the opportunity to use the "Berry Country's Palace" as an excuse to act arrogantly.
Moreover, most of Roxon's military resources are highly tied to the Berry Army.
If the president disobeys, he really can't mobilize the military on a large scale as a company, and the possibility of launching a war suddenly becomes infinitesimally small.
If you choose to choose another candidate yourself
Things are much more troublesome. Lille does not have a suitable candidate on hand. Even if he has great appeal, the candidates who are hastily introduced have no time to build momentum and preparations, and their chances of winning are extremely slim.
So eventually, he may be forced to work with another party to put forward a candidate
This choice is also a headache.
After all, Roxon has been planning on 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, Lille ran through various possibilities in his mind, and finally decided to adopt Barnes' approach.
The fact is that Lille didn't 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. 】
After hanging up the communication, Lille stood in front of the door and took a deep breath——
He has always lived in two worlds. 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 connect people to build flood control embankments, and the other world requires him to carefully pick up bricks and tiles from the ruins.
He doesn't 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 starts to really show up.
As if feeling Lil's pressure, the octopus arm at the waist pulled Lal's coat, came to Lil's face and shook it.
[Little Octopus: Brother, I will fully support you! (_)]
Lear smiled and controlled the door to open.
[Liel: 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 smart 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 to his engineer, signaling to start the experiment.
The engineer nodded and began to operate the console.
As he completed the unlocking and settings one by one, a line of big words suddenly appeared on the screen:
[Singularity particle purification experiment started]
[Target purity: 50%]
【Improved energy supply.】
[Estimated purity: 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 located in the center of the energy tower seems to be polluted by some strange colors, and these colors are becoming more and more vivid.
Dario looked at this scene and smiled: "50% is 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: This time we can reach 60%. 】
"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 such experiments, so I strongly recommend that you pay attention to the resource of vibranium. 】
"Funny, Stark said that too."
[JARVIS: Yes, Mr. Stark said that too. 】
Dario looked at the strange colors in the sky becoming more and more vivid, and showed 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, let's just treat it as a decommissioning mission for that thing."
[Target purity: 60%]
[Countdown to singularity particle purification and explosion: 48 hours]
