Chapter 1564: Chapter 511: Major Weapon Update

The economy is a very complex entity; even current AIs cannot accurately predict the global economic model. Endless variable factors can cause calculations to grow geometrically, requiring infinite computational power.

Such an ideal city, still in planning, is clearly not something he can create out of thin air; even if he sells Ye Corporation, the money wouldn’t be enough.

He brought in numerous investments: Kangtao, Huang Ban, Zeta Technology, even Military Technology has shares.

Lin Miao just signed a four-trillion aid project contract with Tokyo University behind Kangtao to obtain resources.

Counterfeit money has been printed in large amounts, or rather, it shouldn’t be called counterfeit. The ink, copy paper, equipment, and even printing plates he used are the same set as the European Community. These are bluntly real banknotes, with only duplicated serial numbers, thanks to Mr. West Fire Grass’s contributions.

Almost all of this money was used by him to buy raw materials in South America. With the cyber world’s control capabilities, it’s challenging to trace it back to him; Lin Miao handles matters very cleanly.

To transform Night City into an ideal city, he could be said to have sold everything, employing every possible tactic. Printing counterfeit money was nothing; he almost called upon players to wear stockings on their heads and rob banks, or even sell hooks.

Great accomplishments do not bother with petty matters; Lin Miao felt he embodied the audacious Georgian robbers from back in the day.

What players now see is the result of Lin Miao and Night City’s people’s painstaking construction.

"No wonder, with so much starch. No wonder the few kitchen staff at the frontline are enthralled with Jiangxi cuisine constantly."

Wildman complained

"Eating it makes me woozy with carbon-induced sleepiness; leave it for a moment and it clumps together again. Jiangxi cuisine ultimately can’t reach the classier levels."

Cat rice may be delicious, but eating it every day would exhaust the players, and it’s expensive too. Most people still eat the free meals cooked by the kitchen staff on the frontline.

With so much starch, the kitchen staff must be vigorously making Jiangxi dishes.

"What’s wrong with Jiangxi cuisine? It’s fine to have something to eat, yet you are complaining all the time."

Steamed Bun looked at Wildman’s complaints with disapproval; she loved dough-based food, especially the large steamed buns from the Northeast provinces and Jiangxi pastries.

"Haha~ I like all kinds of food."

Eva swayed side to side, speaking joyfully.

"Human sensory experiences are far more complex than mere data from remains. Excellent food can create unique electrochemical reactions by intertwining the sense of smell and taste buds, stimulating the central nervous system to produce dopamine, making people happy~~"

"AI also likes to eat things?"

Wildman was shocked. Although he had encountered many AI systems unique to player forces in Cuba, Wildman rarely cared about what these AIs genuinely liked, never imagining these AIs would have human-like hobbies.

"Of course."

Eva led the two towards the industrial area, speaking as they walked.

"I’m responsible for managing the food industry, you know. Every new food launched has to be tasted and analyzed first by me, testing its flavor, suitable demographics, potential harm to the body, allergens, and avenues for potential improvements. The sensation of countless additive combinations creating chemical reactions in the mouth is simply irresistible."

"Do you have a body? A mouth?"

Eva projected a tall lady image before them, wearing an apron, insulated gloves, with a chef’s attire. She said to them,

"Of course. Mr. Lin has equipped each AI with a cloned body, allowing them to walk in human form in society, but my main body is currently helping over at the starch factory, and it’s inconvenient to come over, so please bear with me."

"Uh... oh! It’s fine."

Wildman couldn’t help but think about what Brother Ni and others discovered on Jekyll Island.

If humans were to war against wandering AI, then on what stance would these AIs, choosing to side with humans, act?

"I wonder where you’d like to go? I can lead the way."

Eva seemed to have a special fondness for humans, very enthusiastic.

"Take us to the munitions factory over there."

Wildman said

"The BOSS has already declared war on Military Technology; I want to see how our armaments are, to make future tactical arrangements easier."

To be more precise, Horizon Corporation hasn’t just declared war on Military Technology, but on the trusts of the whole New America.

Now the Military Technology building is still in Night City, purely because Night City prohibits large-scale weapons from entering; they’re betting Lin Miao won’t dare act here and ruin his own reputation.

So players naturally can’t continue to get military aid from Military Science, which makes Wildman very interested in the armaments currently being developed by Horizon Corporation.

Steamed Bun apparently knows something; she almost synchronously developed many new weapons with the headquarters studio in Cuba over there.

Eva politely lifted her dress and bowed to the two.

"Alright, please follow me."

The munitions department is the largest area in the ideal city, with many civilian vehicle production lines directly incorporated into the military system.

Just by walking outside, one can see electric vehicles being manufactured and loaded into containers, ready to be shipped to other cities in California; their colorful designs are full of technological beauty.

After confirming that energy was monopolized by energy giants like Peizhuo Petrochemical and Soviet Petrochemical, Lin Miao had thought about the new energy system early on but never found the opportunity.

But once he obtained the synthesis formula for superconducting materials and super-capacity batteries, he hesitated no more and immediately started pushing the electric vehicle system aggressively in California.
