Chapter 2: "Boom! Boom!" (End)

"Next month? Today is only the 4th. Let me wait from September to October?!" Suo Zhongwu groaned, and his hair became a little tingling:

"I have practiced all the subjects that should be practiced here, and I have 30 days left. Is it still a single player? Is the leader trying to drive me crazy?"

"It's not what you think. The organization actually intends to take you—" Francine said to the point, and suddenly stopped.Across the two masks, she began to observe Suo Zhongwu's expression carefully. After about five seconds, she sighed and said:

"Be reasonable, these words should be told by the instructor. Corporal, are you sure you want to listen to me?"

"It's work." Suo Zhongwu didn't hesitate at all.[Which friendship does Zheng Ge and me care about such trivial matters?Besides, listening to him again will not lose a piece of meat.] "I want to prepare in advance. Even as a pawn, I can't be kept in the dark."

"Okay. Don't tell Dashi Zheng about this. To be honest, I opposed this arrangement at first, and I protested to Uncle Wang before the drill, but now..." Francine deliberately sold it off.At this moment, she rarely showed a mischievous side:

"But now, I think you should be competent. Congratulations, Corporal Suo Zhongwu, the day after tomorrow you will usher in your first combat mission, and you will still be in a parallel world."

"Henghai Eight Kingdoms has something wrong again?" Suo Zhongwu's tone suddenly became serious.The faces of Hariata, Zhou Yanhong and other friends flashed in his heart:

"Will the Vacuum Arc go? Where is your squadron?"

"I understand your feelings for the 19th world." Francine tapped on the side of his helmet and blinked.

"But there is not only one parallel world. On the 9th, we will go to the 9th'cyberpunk' to investigate the site of a local space station."

"Space station? Ruins?" Suo Zhongwu chewed on these two terms, and tasted a very strange taste:

"Captain Francine, these two words don't usually pass, right? What the hell is going on in that world?"

"Either use the captain or Francine, don't be so productive." Francine Davos looked deep in the corridor, and the engineers sent by the director's department were approaching here.She quickly uttered a series of frequency numbers and signaled Suo Zhongwu to switch to radio communication. Then she made a light leap in the air and flew towards the hall driven by the main jet:

"Let's go, I will talk to you in detail on the road. There is not much time, I will try to keep the story short..."

All the parallel world data held by the time air conditioning law practitioners are all classified.Suo Zhongwu can only consult the "covered version", and the first 90% of the area on a page is blacked out.Because of this, Francine's story opened his eyes as literally, full of sympathy for the world he was about to go to.

When he was in his hometown, Suo Zhongwu watched many cyberpunk-themed movies and played that famous game.His impression of cyberpunk can be summarized in three sentences:

Under the huge holographic advertisement, the flow of people and cars is surging day and night.In the fascinating nightclub, men and women studded with mechanical implants sang and danced.Peel off the colorful colors on the city's exterior, and you can see countless conspiracies surging, and powerful viruses may spread across the information network at any time, causing major crises on a global scale.However, these things are only reflections on the surface of the water after all, and they are far from the bottom of the sea.

What exactly is "cyberpunk"?In a nutshell, this is actually a science fiction term, usually used to describe a future social style that is highly urbanized, highly informatized, and highly divided between the rich and the poor.In the cyberpunk world, large cities are generally overcrowded, with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people living together, but their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment are all controlled by large corporations, underground society, organized crime, and gray areas. It is also flourishing.

A major feature of this kind of world is that the computer-related industries are so developed that people can completely digitize their consciousness and upload and download them at will just like ordinary programs.In some works, people can even completely abandon the physical body and pass the consciousness into the customized artificial body to survive for a long time in units of hundreds of years.

However, the high technology of the cyberpunk world has not only failed to bring about a beautiful utopian future, but has greatly enlarged the existing contradictions:

Compared with the beginning of the 21st century, the cyberpunk world has significantly lower moral standards and more extreme entertainment methods. Underground arenas, illegal virtual reality stimulation, and illegal prostitution can be seen everywhere, and unemployment and crime rates are even higher all year round. No less.However, the government and chaebols are indifferent to this. As long as profits can be guaranteed, the bigwigs will never put the difficulties of the bottom in their eyes...

Parallel World No. 9 is such a society.More precisely, "it was such a society."After discovering this parallel world, the Time Air Conditioning Lawyer Organization conducted multiple rounds of reconnaissance with drones, and deployed surveillance satellites in orbit. They took more than 100,000 hours of video and an unknown number of terabytes of high-definition photos. , I was stunned by the high-levels of various countries, and the scientific research team was mesmerized.

High-rise super cities, dilapidated large-scale slums, densely packed communication base stations, huge and eerie artificial body factories, ubiquitous holographic projection advertisements (frame part)... what the cyberpunk world should have There is no shortage of elements in World No. 9.However, this parallel world earth was completely abandoned for unknown reasons. UAVs and satellites searched all over the world, and even a living person was not found.

It stands to reason that after the death of humans at the top of the food chain, animals and plants will definitely usher in a period of prosperity, and various communities will expand rapidly like an explosion.But this planet is very strange. Not only is a lot of forests withered, the grassland area is also too small, and wasteland is like scars everywhere.Plants can't live up to their strengths, and animals naturally can't stand up to their waists. Let alone counterattack the city, they can't even occupy the wild, and are beaten up by the sandstorm and fled.

The scientific research team organized by the Craft Alliance used supercomputers provided by various countries to analyze the image data with reference to Main World No. 1.After a quarrel between humanities experts and science and engineering experts, they barely came up with a preliminary conjecture:

They believe that World No. 9 was abandoned 50 or even a hundred years ago. Although a small number of fusion reactors are still in operation, infrastructure such as automated factories and farms have all been shut down.This world is likely to have experienced an unexplained mass extinction of organisms. Humans have all perished in a short period of time. Biodiversity has also been hit hard. It is estimated that it will take thousands of years to recover.
