As soon as Miles showed off her strongman attitude, the blazing flame of revenge was burning crazily in her heart, forcing her to devote all her energy to counterattacking Arasaka.
In Myers' vision, since AI is the focus of future giants' games, why not just go to the edge of the black wall to capture the circulating AI for your own use? Wouldn't it be more efficient?
It’s faster than spending time, energy, and money on your own research and development.
After hearing Miles's idea, Li Ang just nodded in agreement and didn't say anything else.
Because he knows that the flowing AI outside the black wall cannot be controlled by humans at all. Unless there is a more powerful AI, it will be difficult to control such a "forbidden power"!
Miles has bet his military technology resources on AI, but in addition to upgrading his AI Red and White Queen as soon as possible, Leon also plans to fully occupy the military industry market as soon as possible and develop a biotechnology territory.
Through this heavy-loss rescue operation, Li Ang already knew that LA Company simply relied on mercenaries and weapons to fight against Arasaka, which had a large number of troops and deep knowledge. This was quite futile and time-consuming.
We have to rely on biological evolution and "cyber monsters" controlled by genetic mutations and viruses to fight against Arasaka Company's elite troops!
In Li Ang's blueprint, he seemed to see LA Company's biochemical monsters equipped with the most advanced cybernetic bodies, killing Arasaka soldiers on the battlefield.
In what era are we still relying on human sea tactics to fill cannon fodder, and using aliens and mutant monsters from Resident Evil to fight? This is called efficient and clean!
Of course, it is not easy to do this. At least currently, LA Company cannot drive mutant monsters onto the battlefield on a large scale.
But what Li Ang can do now is to develop a mecha device that is more suitable for small-scale combat!
Today's Military Technology and Arasaka Corporation are unable to launch another round of large-scale war, and local conflicts will become the main method of confrontation between the two sides.
As for the armed forces that can destroy an entire opponent's mercenary squad just by "fighting alone", there are only cyber mechas that are more powerful than the prosthetics!
…
boom……!
The time bombs buried throughout Arasaka Tower suddenly exploded as the hands stopped. The strong gunpowder swept through the strong shock wave and smashed the pillars of Arasaka Tower.
Amid the screams of countless people, the torn Arasaka Tower began to tilt and collapse from the bottom, eventually becoming a ruins filled with dust and mist.
The aerial vehicles surrounding Arasaka Tower, police from the NCPD, and members of the Terrorist Mobile Team each cleared an area of several kilometers and prohibited anyone from approaching the area.
Various media outlets in Night City rushed to report on the "Arasaka Tower bombing" incident. Even the hot-search news about the death of a military technology executive was overshadowed.
The misty acid rain, wrapped in the dust from the bad land and the ashes raised from the ruined Arasaka Tower, fell on the sad, angry, and unconcerned people who were watching the excitement.
In another high-rise building in Arasaka, Johnny Silverhand silently watched the whole process of Arasaka Tower being detonated, collapsed, and turned into ruins. A smile finally appeared on his scarred face.
"This is the biggest performance in my life. Although it cost me my life, I will become a legend in Night City."
After the words fell, Johnny Silverhand looked at Adam Heavy Hammer in front of him with a disdainful look. He sneered: "A dogleg like you crawling at the feet of Arasaka is only qualified to be an emotionless steel monster."
"Adam Hammer, how much do you think your scrap metal will still be worth a hundred years from now? My deeds and rock music will last for hundreds of years!"
Before Adam Hammer could rush up and give the foul-mouthed Johnny a hard punch, an old voice suddenly said: "Well said."
"Flesh and blood will grow old and decay, and the prosthetic body will rust and rot, but the mind and spirit can last forever."
Under the protection of the lone wolf bodyguards headed by Takemura Goro, the hobbling Arasaka Saburo walked out slowly with his back bent.
When Johnny Silverhand saw the old emperor of Arasaka coming to Night City, he couldn't help but let out a stunned exclamation: "Holy crap... it's really fake!"
Faced with this terrifying thug who bombed Arasaka Tower and took away Ultra, Saburo Arasaka did not show any anger. His tone remained as calm as a quiet lake.
"My eldest son is named Arasaka Kei. He died in Arasaka Tower. When he was discovered, his brain had been burned by the virus implanted by your hackers."
When talking about the sudden death of his eldest son, Saburo Arasaka seemed like an outsider. Even though the most important successor of the Arasaka Empire died, he acted like nothing happened.
Years of ups and downs in the business world have taught Saburo Arasaka to be patient and tenacious. Even when facing the death of his eldest son, he still had to show a calm and composed look.
"He died because of the Arasaka family. I will announce that he died of suicide and give him the honor he deserves as a samurai."
After listening to Saburo Arasaka's soliloquy, Johnny Silverhand, who was tied to the chair, just snorted twice. He would not have the slightest sympathy because Saburo lost his son in old age.
The heinous crime committed by this old man can be made up for by more than the death of his eldest son!
"Fuck you."
Johnny spat at Saburo Arasaka and said with disdain: "There are so many civilians who died at the hands of your Arasaka company, and the death of your son is nothing!"
"The Chiba City in Japan is full of industrial wastewater discharged from the Arasaka factory. The people there grew up drinking this water and were tortured by you Arasaka into monsters with all kinds of diseases."
"Old Saburo, you deserve this retribution today because of yourself, you deserve it!"
Takemura Goro was about to punch Johnny and asked him to think before speaking, but was stopped by Saburo Arasaka.
Having Johnny tear off his disguised mask certainly made Saburo Arasaka very angry, but the most vicious means of revenge on a person is often not physical torture, but mental destruction!
The punishment Saburo Arasaka prepared for Johnny was to forcibly extract his soul and use it as a "guinea pig" for Arasaka's latest experimental project Relic chip.
"I lost my eldest son who I had high hopes for, and you will also lose your soul from now on. You will be trapped in the database of Arasaka Corporation and tortured forever!"
Arasaka Saburo walked to a position three meters close to Johnny, and stared at Johnny Silverhand with his electronic eyes replaced with the new Qilusi artificial eyes:
"My son's soul will rest in peace on the altar of Arasaka, but you will be modified, compiled, and made into a string of code by Arasaka engineers, and you will never rest in peace."
"Mr. Johnny Silverhand, does this ending match your identity as a Night City legend?"
After the voice fell, Arasaka Saburo nodded to the Arasaka engineer beside him, signaling him to start immediately.
Immediately, a white-faced elite company dog came out with a silver microchip in his hand. His name is Anders Hermann, the director in charge of the Relic project.
"Mr. Johnny, please relax. I have improved the AI soul killer program. This chip should not cause you too much harm."
"Of course... this is just a theoretical guess. The specific result will depend on your next reaction."
"In short, thank you for your contribution to Arasaka Corporation!"
