The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

When Chen Mo and Tony were debating, the story development of the cyberpunk world was like someone pressing the accelerator button.

Tony from the Cyberpunk world line studied the Relic chip and determined that it was a neural chip and understood its essence. So he wanted to give it a try and wanted to activate the digital imprint in it to see what it was. Who is so unlucky to be made into a chip?

After all, according to the information they collected, only after a person is burned into a digital imprint through the Soul Killer can his consciousness and thinking be put into the chip.

And this is why Saburo Arasaka obtained the soul killer technology in 2020, but spent more than fifty years studying Relic chip technology instead of uploading his personality immediately.

For Saburo Arasaka, in order to realize his vision and ambition, tireless work and the will to follow through are what he considers to be the most important factors.

In the past, when he was still young and strong, he thought and did this, and it was precisely because of this that he had his first child when he was sixty or seventy years old.

There is also a medical team on standby at the Arasaka headquarters in Japan all year round, ready to upload the consciousness of the founder of the Arasaka Empire when Saburo Arasaka is dying, so that he can continue to survive in the form of a digital imprint and continue to lead and control the entire Arasaka. empire.

But the success of the Relic chip gave him another option, which was to find a young body to upload his consciousness, and use this young body to resurrect him, thereby extending his life and becoming truly immortal.

It's just that although the Relic chip has been developed to the second generation, there is still a problem that has not been solved, that is, it can only be activated in a brain that has lost conscious activity. A brain that still has consciousness cannot activate this chip.

Of course, with the financial and resources of the Arasaka Group, it is not impossible to obtain a young vegetative body, but Saburo Arasaka obviously does not intend to upload consciousness hastily, but wants to wait for the technology to become more mature before proceeding with his immortality plan.

It's just that his great son didn't give him this chance. Arasaka Yorinobu stole the Relic in the experimental research stage and used it as an opportunity to kill Arasaka Saburo.

Originally, Tony did not have the technology to activate the Relic chip out of thin air, but a certain god outside the timeline was obviously not happy to see them continue to mess around, so a technology called a wetware host was projected into Tony's brain, allowing him to I thought I had come up with a solution out of thin air.

By purchasing various cheap experimental materials and second-hand research equipment, Tony successfully cultivated a biological brain using brain cells from corpses picked up from the streets, and transformed it into a wetware host.

This is a technology from the Mechanicus in the Warhammer world. In that world, all artificial intelligence is no longer usable due to the existence of a Chaos Demon called the Electro-Demon.

So in order to circumvent this problem, the Mechanicus developed the famous cogitator array and wetware host technology.

The brains of voluntarily dedicated followers of the Mechanicus or other citizens of the Empire are taken out, and after being transformed by the Mechanicus' magical technology, these brains can replace the artificial intelligence and computers of the past, and can be applied to naval battleships, Titans, etc. , Imperial Knights, and even on Astra Militarum armored vehicles.

Of course, for the empire, there is a more direct application, which is to transform the brain and skull together to make a flying skull - a servo skull.

Chen Mo projected the prototype of this technology into Tony's mind, hoping to use this smart man's wisdom to improve this technology, and more importantly, let him pull Johnny Silverhand from the Relic chip. come out.

Instead of like the original plot, V's head was needed, and she had to be shot in the head to activate Relic, competing for the body with Johnny Silverhand's personality.

Although for a necromantic god of Chen Mo's level, he could pull Johnny Silverhand up with just a snap of his fingers and replace him with a brand new original body, but Chen Mo really didn't want to Face to face with the foul-mouthed Keanu Reeves, so I had to ask Tony, who also had a bad mouth, to do this.

But it has to be said that when Johnny Silverhand’s consciousness was in the mountain created by Tony (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 34 Johnny Silverhand

When he woke up in the fake servo skull, he brought Night City and the entire cyberpunk world what they needed most at the moment.

Speaking of Johnny Silverhand, perhaps gamers only remember the Arasaka Tower he blew up with a nuclear bomb, Ott Cunningham’s passionate applause backstage, the still-charming Rogue on the stage, and his base-stirring Follower brother...

But for Night City and the cyberpunk world, Johnny Silverhand is the greatest rock singer of the 21st century. Even half a century later, the Samurai band he formed is still remembered, sung, and fanatically praised by some. Follow it and regard it as faith.

It may sound exaggerated, but as a rock star, he does have such an exaggerated influence.

Rock and roll, which originated in the 1940s, is a form of music with strong rhythm and distinct emotions. One of the important factors why it is popular all over the world is the spirit of resistance conveyed through rock and roll.

The era when rock music emerged in the United States was the era when the United States was mired in the Vietnam War.

The strong anti-war sentiment in the United States at that time also affected and reflected in music creation. The young generation of Americans who did not want to go to war conveyed and expressed their dissatisfaction with society through rock and roll, a musical form that can most directly express their emotions and thoughts, and Resistance to war.

This in turn has affected the core concept of rock music creation. Rock music has become a form of expression for young people to seek self-understanding and resist authority.

Because of this, this music form with a strong and lively rhythm was quickly sought after and loved by young people all over the world. It soon became popular throughout the world, and famous rock singers became the idols of a generation.

In the cyberpunk world, rock plays the same role.

Johnny Silverhand lived in an era when major corporations were messing up the entire world for profit. Johnny Silverhand, who didn't want to be a victim of corporate wars, became a deserter and established a company in Night City with some like-minded companions. They joined the Samurai Band, but unexpectedly they became an instant hit and became the most popular rock band at the time.

Even though more than fifty years have passed, Johnny Silverhand is still a legend that is remembered and sung.

This is not just because he blew up the Arasaka Tower, but the musical works he created conveyed to people a spirit of resistance to corporate rule, making him a spiritual symbol of resistance to corporate rule.

Blowing up Arasaka Tower can only be said to have turned the original abstract spiritual symbol into an actual totem symbol, making him even more popular and worshiped.

But the admiration for his actions will gradually disappear as time goes by and his past deeds are gradually forgotten. On the contrary, the music he left behind is always being sung, and the classics will always be classics.

Rock will never die, because as long as there is oppression and injustice in this world, young people need to express their thoughts and seek self-awareness, and rock will always have the ground to spread.

At this point, even Tony, a master of bad-mouthing, had to admit that after Johnny Silverhand was resurrected, Jack found the records of the Samurai Band. That kind of music with strong rhythm and clear emotions can really move the people around him. Make people join in unconsciously.

But for today's Night City, this kind of music has gradually become less and less under the suppression of the company.

Because of the company's cruel oppression, everyone is either struggling to survive or has given up the fight and lives in a dream. Fewer and fewer people can regain the spirit of rock and roll and set up a banner of resistance.

Even though Johnny Silverhand's followers have now become internationally renowned rock stars, they have also lost their spirit and are gradually unable to write good works.

But now, Johnny Silverhand, who is full of foul words, but at his core is the most determined and fanatical rebel against the company, has returned, as if he has injected a little vitality and different variables into the stagnant Night City.

With the help of V and Jack's team and Mann's team, Johnny Silverhand's servo skull was given to Rogue, and with the help of Johnny Silverhand's old sweetheart and the Queen of Night City middlemen, He was given a cybernetic body and the servo skull was installed on it, allowing Johnny Silverhand to be resurrected in this form.

And Johnny Silverhand after his resurrection was naturally not idle either (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 34 Johnny Silverhand

, he continued his unfinished business more than fifty years ago, and still resisted the company with a clear-cut stand, wanting to overthrow Arasaka, and finally burn Night City to ashes.

Out of admiration for the legend, Jack became his biggest fan, and the members of Mann's team were basically the same.

After all, Night City residents of their generation basically grew up listening to the legendary stories of Johnny Silverhand and others. Now the living legend is right in front of you, and it has also established a world that makes people look at it. As far as the ambitious goal is concerned, what reason is there not to follow it?

Especially when they followed the resurrected Johnny Silverhand and gradually came into contact with his connections back then, everyone had a clearer understanding of the legends of the previous era.

Johnny Silverhand's followers are the world's top rock stars, and most of the former members of the Samurai Band have also become famous. His old sweetheart is now the most powerful middleman queen in the Night City, and even his former girlfriend is now one of the most powerful black men. One of the most powerful wandering AIs in the world, even Johnny Silverhand’s enemy is an existence of the level of Adam Hammer.

It can be said that the old guys of that era have now become legends, and those who are alive are also legends.

Originally, their story should have gone away long ago and been buried in the dust and old papers, but when Johnny Silverhand, an old guy who should have died more than fifty years ago, was pulled up, everything seemed to come back again. .

Just as Johnny Silverhand said himself, he wants to finish what he didn't finish fifty years ago, blow up Arasaka Tower again, and burn the entire Night City to ashes!

For ordinary people in Night City, resisting the company is something they never dare to think about.

The power and omnipotence of the company have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What qualifications do they, the ants and insignificant local dogs at the bottom, have to challenge a behemoth like the company?

But Johnny Silverhand was different. He lived in an era where people had not yet become numb and forgotten. The spirit of resistance still circulated in the hearts of people of that era. That’s why he had so many supporters and was able to dare to resist. Arasaka.

Instead of still succumbing to the company's coercion and not daring to resist when he was forced into a dilemma of life and death.

Relying on the sense of resistance brought by Johnny Silverhand and the call brought by his legend, a resistance organization with V and Mann as the core seems to have been pulled up.

The wanderers of Adkardos, the mercenaries, Haywood's Valentino gang... groups of people were influenced by them. Although they did not stand up against the company with a clear-cut banner, they became their supporters and supporters. .

And finally set off a wave of resistance, and a group of people attacked the Arasaka Group's headquarters in Night City, the rebuilt Arasaka Tower.

In the data fortress mikoshi beneath the Arasaka Tower, they relied on the help of the AI-enabled Ott Cunningham to defeat the hacker Hanako Arasaka and Saburo Arasaka who had successfully uploaded his consciousness, and put this dream to immortality. The immortal Emperor Arasaka died in the tomb he built for himself, and released all the personality imprints imprisoned in the shrine.

As for Adam Hammer, whether it's Johnny Silverhand, Mann's team, or V, they all have a score to settle with him.

So after being besieged by everyone, removing almost all the reinforced implants on his body, and beating him into a piece of scrap metal, Rebecca used her little feet to crush all the remaining parts of Adam Hammer's body. A bit of his original flesh, his brain that was almost cooked by the implant.

"Damn, this bastard soiled my shoes! This is a limited edition jointly produced by Ganglie Band Bobo Chicken! I bought it with great difficulty!" Rebecca complained while continuing to put the remaining pieces of Adam Hammer's shoes on. The little bit of my brain was trampled to pieces.

"What does a joint limited edition mean? Next time your father Tony will help you make a pair of flying boots. They will definitely be the most unique in the world!" Tony seems to like Rebecca, a little girl who looks violent but is actually soft and delicate. , he said very comprehensively.

Of course Rebecca knew Tony's skills, and she was immediately overjoyed and said: "You said, don't go back on it!"

"Don't worry, Tony's dad keeps what he says!" Tony promised Rebecca, but at this moment he returned to the outside of the timeline after a trance (this chapter is not finished!)
