The space-time door didn't open, but the phone kept ringing.
Wu Chen tried to answer: "Hey, is it Major?"
"It's me, Wu Chen." The major's holographic avatar immediately appeared on the watch: "Someone wants to see you."
"Who?" Wu Chen asked with a smile. This is obviously a follow-up plot and must be treated with great vigor.
"Dr. Ouelet." The major said in a sincere tone: "She is the administrator of the survivor base in the city, and she was also the chief scientist of Hanhua Machinery."
"Why do you want to see me?" Wu Chen asked again.
"She's...well, very curious about your body." Afraid of Wu Chen thinking too much, the Major hurriedly explained: "You know, after the mutation, there will be very few survivors left in the city. As for the pure body, it is very likely that only You alone.”
"Okay, I've been a little busy recently. Can you change the day?" Indeed. In the story world of Ghost in the Shell, there are very few people who have not experienced prosthetic transformation. After the end of the world, there are even fewer. Dr. Olet said that Wu Chen was probably the only one left. It must be supported by big data and be authentic and credible. This is obviously an excellent opportunity to intervene in the main plot, and Wu Chen must go. But on the upcoming cleaning day, Wu Chen had to go all out. If there is nothing important, you must not be distracted.
"Okay, no problem." The major on the other end of the phone also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it for now, see you later." Wu Chen hung up the communication.
"See you."
Wait for the major's holographic avatar to disappear together with the signal source. Only then did Zhinao become convinced: "She can really make phone calls from the fragments."
"Check this Dr. Olette." Wu Chen needed to know as much background information as possible.
"Yes." Zhinao acted immediately. The story world of Ghost in the Shell has undergone major changes due to the intervention of players. As for the mutation day mentioned by Shao Zuo, it is still unknown at this time whether it was affected by the shelter or was harvested and destroyed by the players. But it is an indisputable fact that the world is broken and Harbor City is in ruins. Wu Chen also intervened in the main plot because he mistakenly shot the huge complex body. That's why Major had this time-travel phone call.
"Let's meet once, Master." Zhinao judged: "There is still time."
The high-dimensional attribute superposition of Broken City is different from the time flow rate in the plot world. Although it is not as exaggerated as "a day in the sky and a year in the earth". From Wu Chen accepting the commission to completing the return, it took less than a quarter of an hour to roughly judge. One minute is approximately equal to one hour. Wu Chen spent 24 minutes in the Broken City, and one day would pass with the fragments of the Ghost in the Shell plot. After one day in Broken City, a full 60 days have passed with the plot fragments of Ghost in the Shell.
Whether all the plot fragments follow this example, it is impossible to judge now. When I first arrived, everything was unknown.
"That's fine." Wu Chen was not going to drive the AE86, but instead switched to the Viper Sky Hunter. Then go with Vitris and four other female warriors.
AE86's brain Ai also uploaded himself as the onboard brain of the Viper Sky Hunter.
Half an hour later, everything was ready. Intelligent brain Ai activates the alien space gate, drives the Viper Sky Hunter, and drives into the plot fragments of Ghost in the Shell.
Newport City.
Wu Chen was also worried that he would be stuck in his first private photo shoot. The Viper Sky Hunter appeared in the endless blue sky.
Zhi Nao explains that the time and space memory carried by the mutant nerve bundle can select the transmission point.
Very reasonable.
"Major." Wu Chen dialed the dedicated line.
"Wu Chen." The major immediately lifted the optical camouflage that was synchronized with the NM4, revealing his figure.
"I'm almost there." Wu Chen smiled.
"Okay." The major seemed to be looking forward to this meeting: "Do you need me to give you the coordinates?"
"No need." Accurately locating the Honda NM4's signal source, the Viper Sky Hunter roared away.
East District Hospital, in an abandoned skyscraper. After fully charging the prosthetic body, Major remotely turned off the emergency generator. As the last member of the Nine Public Security Section, Major has almost the administrator authority over the entire city. Major has long been accustomed to charging the prosthetic body without disturbing the mutants dormant in the building.
The battery life of the NM4 that the Major had been worried about did not exist at all. The built-in micro-core battery can meet the unlimited battery life of NM4. The built-in wireless charging technology can charge the major's full-body prosthetic body anytime and anywhere. As long as the major keeps riding, even if he stays near the motorcycle, it can be fully charged quickly. All interface protocols use this world's technical specifications. Even the micronucleus tritium battery is Hanhua Machinery's forward-looking technology that uses the decay of radioactive isotopes to generate energy. The reason why many high-tech features of NM4 are not activated is because the Major turned off the on-board AI for safety reasons. The powerful functions of this NM4 are still not fully understood by the Major.
"Major, I'm above you."
"Wait a minute." When Major flew NM4 out of the skyscraper, he took the opportunity to look up.
A dark, futuristic aircraft was hovering in mid-air, slowly opening the air-tight tail hatch.
"Transmission protocol." Wu Chen reminded: "Please allow the on-board AI to be awakened."
"Allow it." Major also knew that automatic parking like this must be completed by AI.
"The access agreement has been downloaded." The NM4 vehicle-mounted AI, which was finally awakened, promptly informed: "Automatic navigation is on."
NM4 successfully entered the cabin. The scan is correct and the firewall is hidden. Wu Chen and Major met in the combat readiness cabin.
The Viper Sky Hunter is about the same size as an average fighter jet. The internal space is limited, and the unique vertical take-off and landing technology reduces the wingspan to the greatest extent. The technological innovation from Intelligent Brain has also effectively increased the cabin capacity. The combat readiness cabin is similar in size to the cabin of a small private jet and can accommodate 10 people. There is a holographic tactical desktop in the center, with the female warrior leaning against the bulkhead and sitting in the opposite row. Wu Chen only brought four people, and it was not crowded even with the addition of the major.
"Where are we going?" Wu Chen asked with a smile as he asked the major to take a seat.
"This is the address." The major took out an encrypted USB flash drive.
Insert the holographic platform and the coordinates are quickly read. The Viper Sky Hunter revved its engines and accelerated toward its destination. The entire process is handled silently by the Intelligent Brain, without Wu Chen having to worry about it.
"Who is controlling the plane?" the major asked suddenly.
"Onboard intelligence." Wu Chen answered honestly. Major used "control" instead of "driving", which is already pointed out.
"Use with caution." Major reminded kindly. It is said that Mutation Day is an unexplained AI riot.
"Understood." Wu Chen readily accepted.
The destination is outside Xingang City, a scientific research platform of Hanhua Machinery. Surrounded by the sea, security is extremely high. After the Mutant Day, it was transformed into a refugee shelter and a resistance headquarters. It is still used today.
The encrypted USB flash drive that Major gave to Wu Chen comes with access permissions. The smart turrets, Ghost in the Shell tanks, and all defensive weapons protecting the scientific research platform were all unlocked, and the Viper Sky Hunter landed safely.
Accompanied by Shao Zuo, Wu Chen and the female warrior arrived at the platform's scientific research center and met the person in charge of the platform.
"Hello, Wu Chen. I'm Dr. Olet." The female doctor has confirmed Wu Chen's biological information.
"Hello, doctor." Wu Chen greeted with a smile. Zhi Nao has informed that Dr. Olette in front of him is nothing but a holographic projection. It's hard to say where the real body is hidden, or whether there is still a real body. Wu Chen also noticed another faint scar on the left side of the female doctor's forehead. Much like a healing bullet hole: “What do you need me to do?”
"Okay, Wu Chen." Seeing Wu Chen being honest, the female doctor also told him bluntly: "As you know, after the mutation, the AI program of the prosthetic body mutated, and the human race became a walking zombie kidnapped by the prosthetic body and almost became extinct. Later, A sudden 'electronic encephalosclerosis' swept through Newport City again. In addition, the 'Murai vaccine' suddenly failed, all survivors were infected, and no one was spared: the micromachines in the electronic brain will gradually eat up human brain cells and transform humans Become a mutated prosthetic body. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, the sequelae will soon appear. Therefore, only amateurs who have never undergone prosthetic body transformation are not affected by electronic encephalosclerosis. And you are likely to be the last body."
