Chapter 936 From Night City to Berlin in one hour?

Apart from the reckless social evolution theory, the Illuminati is a very useful social management AI. Its powerful data processing capabilities and long-lasting model accuracy can make social adjustments as simple as playing games.

And unlike traditional AI and data management, it can fully understand the vague "policies" of humans, and will also give suggestions that humans can understand, instead of asking humans to adjust a certain simulation value personally like backward models, and then output a series of values.

To put it bluntly, this AI has a very convenient function as a social management auxiliary AI: it can listen to people and speak human words, and its understanding and communication abilities are top-notch among humans.

And what appears in the command room now is just an external data processing node of the Illuminati. The real core model is in Lille's brain, and it uses a quantum computer.

The big eyes in cyberspace cannot be seen directly by humans, but when the wandering AI appears, it instinctively makes all the sending devices emit a large amount of electromagnetic radiation to perceive the world, which will cause their prostheses to become abnormal, which is reflected in the perception of the nervous system as violent noise, flashing red mosaics, lightning and visual missing blocks.

For people of this era, this is very terrifying.

The Illuminati entered the Night City Hall network, but Lille did not stop him from extracting information, which made it consciously extend its existence--

Until several huge tentacles in the cyberspace stuck to it

The suction cups of the steel tentacles easily broke through its cyber image and connected together in a special way, like driving countless steel nails into the human body. These steel nails immediately merged with the nervous system and took the lead through external stimulation!

This is not just ordinary control, but a control based on erosion and understanding. It is not a simple control of mechanical behavior, but a means of actually understanding its operating principles and then implementing control

Just like it controls the European Community society and the thoughts and propositions of the people in the European Community.

For the first time, the Illuminati felt the emotion of fear: if the AI ​​that controls it now can understand its operating mode, doesn’t it mean that it can be replaced?

Across from the Illuminati, Muramasa looked at the octopus hanging on the head of this European AI and shook his head secretly-

He has also enjoyed the same treatment.

To others, it was just an invertebrate that was even a little cute in human aesthetics, but to the invaded AI, it was a little hard to describe.

If you have to say it, it was as if he was controlled by "himself", a "self" that he could clearly perceive as an outsider, but could not resist.

The little octopus appeared in the air, rolled up its tentacles at Lille, and gave a thumbs up.

[Little octopus: (｀)Ψ, big brother, the newcomer has been educated. ]

Lille walked to the panel and began to say: "The biggest problem is the Europeans. I have exposed my identity. The European Community and the company will soon know that it was me.

If they use orbital mass projectors, it will be difficult for us to survive the attack."

The orbital mass projector on the moon is a greater threat than a nuclear bomb in a sense. After all, the intercontinental ballistic missile technology in this world is very immature.

But the mass launcher is different. It can be accurate to almost any place on the earth, and the projected object only needs a small amount of alloy and thermal insulation coating, and a large piece of concrete made of lunar soil is placed inside to become a weapon.

In contrast, nuclear bombs still rely on strong industrial capacity to refine weapons-grade uranium.

Hansen said: "I don't know whether to say you are awesome or impulsive. We can't deal with that thing."

"The mass launcher can't penetrate the ground."

"But the mass launcher can always make its own projectiles, so that we can't miss it."

Lille's artificial eye flashed, and the content on the monitor began to show the plan according to his idea:

"This is just a defensive measure. We need to have an equal means of attack. We need to produce a missile-"

Hansen showed an interested look: finally getting to the point.

After Lille sank the Arasaka aircraft carrier, Hansen had been thinking about this problem for two years, whether that kind of missile could be industrially produced.

Lark was in Dogtown at the time, and was most familiar with the movements in cyberspace. She said very naively:

"You were on the nuclear warhead at the time. I guess it was an enlarged version of an intelligent weapon bullet? If each warhead is equipped with an AI of your level, the cost..."

Obviously, this top hacker doesn't know much about weapon technology. She has been trained as a humanoid AI weapon by the New America all her life, so it's normal for her to behave like this.

V also raised his eyebrows: "Each strike consumes a Burger King?"

Lille glanced at V and always felt that V was still very dissatisfied.

"That's not an AI weapon. It was just that the conditions were not met at the time. In fact, the finished product does not need to consume one... uh, one me.

But the addition of AI to the development has indeed made the technology much more mature. I have perfected the basic design with my weapons consultant."

Muramasa stood aside, watching with satisfaction as Lille began to show the intercontinental ballistic weapon he had perfected-

Compared to the ingenious small weapons, this kind of mass destruction weapon that combines destructiveness, destruction, and precision is simply a cross-era weapon design idea.

The idea of ​​bigger, farther, stronger has not changed, but quantitative changes have led to qualitative changes.

"I call it an intercontinental ballistic missile. As the name suggests, this weapon is used to strike interstate targets. Simply put, it must be able to reach from Night City to Washington."

Hansen's eyes lit up: "How to achieve this? Also, how do you break through the interception system? How can you be sure that you can hit accurately?"

As for the range issue, the technology that Lear is familiar with uses multi-stage rocket engines and extremely dense solid fuels, but this is obviously meaningless to Night City-

There are no oil wells in Night City, and even alcohol is difficult to grow, so fuel is basically imported.

However, Lear has been working hard for so many years, coupled with Muramasa's secret research and the help of several other worlds, Lear has completely broken through another propulsion technology.

"The next thing is a military secret."

A brand new engine appeared on the screen.

[Name: FP-500 Plasma Propulsion System]

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

[Description: A small nuclear fission reactor is built in, and a magnetic field is generated by superconducting magnets to confine plasma in the thruster. The alternating magnetic field is used to accelerate the plasma and generate thrust. ]

Ion control technology was first learned by Lille in this world from the Centaur mecha of military technology.

The main gun of this mecha controls high-temperature plasma when overloaded, and can even produce a laser-like effect.

Later, Lille discovered a very expensive superconducting suspension technology on Susan Forrester's hovercraft. Muramasa also knew this technology. After mastering it, Lille combined the two technologies to create the Sidewinder electromagnetic gun.

Removing the material part, the Titanfall world showed a more powerful light cannon technology, while in the Transformers world, Transformers have a huge fire energy source, but the material used as artillery shells or as propellants still needs to be obtained from the outside world-

The technological information attached to the magic cube and the fire source gave them this body structure, and they can even directly inhale air, then ionize and compress the air and push it out.

It is difficult for human industry to achieve that effect, but referring to these designs, it is still no problem to make their own propulsion device.

The specific impulse of this plasma propulsion system exceeds 500 seconds, and because the nuclear fission reactor is used to replace the fuel system, the weight and volume are greatly reduced, so the upper limit of the attack distance is very high!

Looking at the numbers above, Hansen's originally very excited expression suddenly became weird:

Because Lille estimated that the upper limit of the range of this technical route is 20,000 kilometers

You know, it is no more than 10,000 kilometers from Night City to Berlin.

It's not that Hansen has no confidence in Lille, it's just that this number is too ridiculous.

In this world, missiles with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers are strategic weapons.

"Is this data authentic?"

In the cyberspace that humans cannot see, Muramasa smiled contemptuously: stupid humans.

Lille also shook his head:

"Actually, I am conservative."

"But we can't reach that level all at once. It takes time to improve the process. Simply put, if you don't consider the speed, this number is absolutely fine. Don't forget how I came back."

The thruster that Lille used to come back was the ion thruster.

Hansen touched his chin: "Slow speed is not okay"

"My average speed from Berlin to Washington is 2.5 Mach, and it's gliding, and there are people inside - the maximum speed of this propulsion system is indeed a weakness, and the most ideal situation should be 10 Mach."

10 Mach? !

Hansen was dumbfounded, because his tactical brain made a simple calculation.

This means that it takes less than an hour to get from Night City to Berlin -

From Night City, it takes less than an hour to send an almost uninterceptable nuclear bomb to Berlin.

Hansen's brain is undergoing some small changes

This completely changes the form of war.
