The Crystal Palace finally dived unstoppably into the atmosphere. Before that, it circled the entire world eighteen times at extremely fast speeds. Countless people saw the sky city in the sky that was once known as the greatest man-made creation. It grew larger in circles, and finally, under the friction of the atmosphere, a path of fire was left.
Countless high-definition cameras faithfully recorded the entire process. The Crystal Palace is worthy of the title of a miracle of ergonomics. Its main structure tenaciously withstood the friction of the atmosphere.
The self-defense system performed brilliantly throughout the four-hour process, intercepting numerous attacks and leaving a trail of fireworks in its wake.
For the first time, the puppy video got rid of the term superhuman, allowing the terms Crystal Palace#ArasakaGroup#artificial miracle to once again occupy the headlines.
At 10:38 a.m., the Crystal Palace passed through the atmosphere in the airspace near Neon and returned to the homeland where it was once determined to create it. Hundreds of millions of Neon people can see small black dots the size of sesame seeds flying overhead when they raise their heads. Some lucky people may It can also cause death by penetrating injuries from scattered hard parts.
Perhaps for advertising effect, perhaps to celebrate the new emperor's ascension, Arasaka Insurance, a subsidiary of the Arasaka Group, officially proposed a special claims day for the Death of the Crystal Palace. All customers who have purchased Arasaka accident insurance before will be lucky enough to be hit by a Crystal Palace discrete object. They are willing to pay double the compensation if you are injured or killed.
Considering that today is the day when the death of Saburo Arasaka is disclosed to the world, and that the Crystal Palace is the most important space asset of the Arasaka Group, the irony effect of this move is almost full, and anyone can easily pass this The extremely unserious activities feel the impact of the change in leadership of the Arasaka Group on this super corporation.
From this aspect alone, Arasaka Yorinobu received the greatest reward at the smallest cost. All he needed was to send a signal to tell all Arasaka people that he was now the new emperor, and that the old emperor had gone with his palace. Compensation was made.
At 11:53, the angle was already very low. The Crystal Palace had a terrifying meeting with the federal east coast city. A civilian jet was directly hit by the Crystal Palace while trying to take a close-up view of the Crystal Palace.
At 11:58, the residents of Night City could already see the huge Crystal Palace passing over the city at a frightening speed. The quiet little meow who was thrown back to the street by Wang Zhengdao woke up and saw the huge floating object above his head. , rolled his eyes and fainted again, several homeless people looted his wallet and clothes.
At 12:01:06, the Crystal Palace has arrived at the scheduled fall point. The homeless tribes and logistics transportation vehicles within a radius of 300 kilometers have received the signal to leave quickly. As for how many people will listen, no one knows.
12:01:19, under the watchful eyes of Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao, the Crystal Palace hit the earth with a devastating momentum, but at the moment before the collision, the previously laid rapid response gel field unfolded, and at zero It expanded rapidly in a few seconds, trying to use the mantis as a car.
That was deployed by Mikkelsen in advance, but from Tangji's point of view, it was meaningless. The quick-response gel was not a panacea, and at least it could not provide a buffer for this kind of thing.
The impact splashed up hundreds of meters of sand and hundreds of tons of sand. Along with the hurricane brought by inertia, sand and rocks flew across the area, the earth trembled, and the sky and the earth rolled.
Tang Ji stood three kilometers away from the landing, and his sunglasses had been shattered by the splashed stones. Fortunately, the eyes behind the sunglasses were stronger than the sunglasses themselves. The sandstorm that came towards him brought a piece of sand and gravel to Tang Ji's eyes. The soles of the feet were buried.
The impact of the Crystal Palace caused a 7.2-magnitude earthquake. Even the Night City border checkpoint 300 kilometers away could feel the obvious earthquake. The few wandering tribes living nearby now had to suffer a bloody blow. Bear your own losses smoothly.
It left a two-kilometer-long "scratch" on the ground, as well as four impact points. The Crystal Palace bounced on the ground three times as if in vain, and exploded at the last impact point. .
In the end, less than 13% of the structure remained at the final impact point, and the rest were scattered on the ground for several kilometers around. The radioactive material carried in its power compartment spilled on the land, leaving it for thousands of years. Not even a blade of grass grows inside.
The well-prepared federal troops quickly entered the scene and surrounded the nearby area, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
Mikkelsen took a helicopter and landed in a nearby area after the storm and aftershocks were over. All four of his clones have lost contact. Judging from the current situation at the scene, there will definitely not be any survivors. unless...
"Sir, we scanned three life signals!" The drone team quickly sent back the news from the search drone.
Mikkelsen was curious as to who could survive more tenaciously than his four clones, so... Tangji walked into the ruins of the Crystal Palace.
Engineering marvels that were once worth trillions were smashed from the track, and what was left behind did not look any better than the garbage left at the scene after the car accident. There were scattered items everywhere that would still be burning, if not for the violent impact. There weren't many combustibles around, and it was already a big fire.
Tangji is very efficient at doing this kind of work, and he can walk along the branch lines within the ruined area, except for a few very large wrecks that he cannot move.
Flames, poisonous and harmful gases, high temperatures, suffocation, and even radiation pollution, none of these can harm him. He is a man of steel in the true sense.
"The first life reaction is one hundred and sixty meters directly in front of you. It is moving slowly. You have to speed up." Mikkelsen's voice came through the communicator, and Tang Ji soon saw the life he was talking about. reaction target.
A pool of mud-like flesh... He was once a human being. He was wearing a burnt black suit. The material was obviously very special. Even after encountering so many things, it still remained roughly intact. But at this time, the suit had become freed from the shackles of its new owner.
All the bones and even the internal organs of the man's body were shattered, but the tough skin still bound the mixture of solid and liquid in his body, like a snake, slowly escaping from the direction where Tang Jilai came from under the wriggling of muscle tissue.
"It's the gluttonous cell implanter, it's already covered." Tang Ji used his feet to pull at the flesh and blood tissue spilling out of the other party's clothes. He was very familiar with the smell of the other party's body, which meant that he had used the greedy blood potion. Fantasy The individual that he could survive no longer exists, and now this pool of flesh and blood is just gluttony.
A ball of gray-black flames covered the "survivor", leaving only a tattered suit behind the flames.
"Very good, the next target is in the wreckage numbered C, 640 meters northwest of you." Tang Ji heard Mikkelsen say this through the communicator, but Wang Zhengdao had already brought another meter Coulson appeared in front of Tanguy.
"I didn't call you here for a rescue mission. We can also deal with a single infected individual of Gluttony Cell. I came to you because I want you to judge intuitively that there is something here that is a threat to us and the entire human race. ." Mikresen whispered to Tang Ji: "The ghost will not hesitate to expose its ambitions and throw the Crystal Palace to the earth. It must have something to ask for."
"Relying on intuition?" Tang Ji felt as if he was offended, but he didn't seem to be.
"If I could, I would have brought that coward, Mr. Lucky, a long time ago, but since the Crystal Palace incident, I have been unable to find him. He may have just happened to avoid all my eyes and cameras and is lying in bed. I'm sleeping in a corner, but... I can only rely on you now." Mikkelsen said helplessly.
Due to some kind of self-protection mechanism from Mr. Good Luck, Mikkelsen has never come into contact with Carl Wilo without Tang Ji nearby. The opponent's damn ability directly avoided the probability. This choice.
I'm afraid that even if Carl Wille was willing to cooperate with Mikkelsen, his ability would not allow it.
"What's your judgment?" Tang Ji couldn't turn his intuition into a radar and control it at will. He could only get more information from Mikkelsen.
"The power core, the power core of the Crystal Palace." Mikkelsen expressed his thoughts: "When Saburo Arasaka started planning the Crystal Palace, I was wondering about this problem. How did he obtain such sufficient energy? If Arasaka We have developed a new, more efficient and more stable controllable nuclear fusion technology, which should have been brought out to compete with us long ago."
"So I suspect it may be some kind of precious resource that cannot be copied, or it may be some super human with abilities in related fields doing repetitive work day after day." Mikkelsen's tone was a little longing: "Anyway, it doesn't matter. What it is and whether it still exists, don't let the ghost get it."
In addition, it cannot affect the current cooperative relationship between Ghost and him, but Mikkelsen did not say this. If Tangji can handle things so perfectly, it will appear that he is very incompetent.
Or to put it another way, if Tang Ji could do it so perfectly, then Mikkelsen would probably have more than 4,000 clones, and none of them would be able to rest peacefully.
...
"Tlaloc...Tlaloc...wake up!" A loud noise made Joel Martinez gradually regain his consciousness. It took him a while to realize that Tlaloc was his current name.
"What happened...what happened?" General Joel Martinez's consciousness began to fill the entire hardware body of Tlaloc, and the omnipotent Tlaloc was back.
"The Crystal Palace plan went awry, and the wreckage is currently located in the wasteland 350 kilometers northeast of Night City." The ghost's tone was full of regret, which made Joel Martinez a little jealous, and he also wanted to relive this. Anthropomorphic emotions.
Tlaloc completed the review of his entire plan within a time period that humans could not react, and understood all the variables that had been generated...Tangji...Tangji...Tangji, he was like an uncontrollable variable , causing a lot of trouble every time it appears...
Wait, this name... Tlaloc's omniscience and omnipotence receded, and the consciousness and memory belonging to Joel Martinez returned. He still remembered every second when he was killed by the other party.
It seems that this time, the victim changed to another person, the famous Saburo Arasaka... Across the endless cyberspace, Tralock found the traces left by Saburo Arasaka in the digitization of the soul in a moment, and determined that now on the Internet In addition to the ghost and yourself, there is at least one independent consciousness.
According to Ghost's original plan, the Crystal Palace was supposed to crash in a dense tropical rainforest swamp in South America. The massive amounts of quick-response gel deployed in advance, as well as the properties of the swamp itself, could preserve the structural integrity of the Crystal Palace to the greatest extent possible. .
However, now that the Crystal Palace directly collides with Night City, Tlaloc can feel the emotional changes hidden behind the ghost,
He went crazy.
Tlaloc tried to unpack the entire plan for the fall of the Crystal Palace, which was a very subtle act. He hoped that his small actions could hide from the eyes of the ghost.
He did it to a certain extent, and through unpacking shallow information, he realized that there was a secret passenger inside the Crystal Palace who was not on all lists, a superhuman who had mastered some special abilities.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
In terms of energy, the importance of energy is self-evident. Ghost agrees with Saburo Arasaka that it is a gift from heaven.
Ghost was certain that the target had survived the fall, and he could only hope that Tlaloc's men would find it before Tanguy did.
Tlaloc's prosthetic soldiers are a new branch modeled after the federal government's prosthetic soldiers. The only difference is that these soldiers are all clones, not natural people. After they are informed of the target, they can use time-sensitive substances unscrupulously.
