Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

Lille has indeed never heard of this thing. This thing sounds like an unknown street rumor.

But as we all know, the horror legends circulating on the streets are often adapted from real events, such as the Soul Killer in Arasaka.

So he decided to listen to what Bryce had to say.

Today, Europe is a place that attaches great importance to class, and in 2076, when technology is advanced, such a retro word as "aristocratic" has become even more weighty.

If anything, perhaps Britain, one of Europe's big brothers, played an important role in the "revolution" of the last century.

Simply put, Britain was severely divided at the beginning of the century because of corporate wars and financial crises, and was swept by plague.

Such issues have triggered large-scale protests and even armed conflicts.

In order to solve these problems, the state agencies established an agency called the "Martial Law Bureau" to implement brutal suppression in the country, and soon killed all the rebels who planned to arm themselves for rebellion.

After that, the Martial Law Bureau reorganized the police force into a militarized police organization, using force and high-tech means to control and monitor citizens.

This kind of frightening monitoring and control even exceeds 100%, because they are also good at using the media, distorting facts, promoting specific content, and just showing opposition tendencies will be dealt with.

In other words, thought crimes will also be punished.

And this totalitarianism not only targeted civilians, but also targeted the royal family - they carried out a purge of the royal family and executed King Charles.

After the execution, their unprovoked executions were publicized by the media as: the great Martial Law Bureau swept away the last vestiges of feudalism on British soil.

But in fact, the British royal family still has an heir overseas. They sent MI6 agents to hunt him down, but due to various reasons they failed to complete the task and let the heir go.

And the Martial Law Bureau doesn’t know yet.

Finally, in 2016, those who secretly still had the intention to resist learned the news.

The royal flag was raised again, and the people who had been suppressed by the Martial Law Bureau raised the flag of the British Emperor to overthrow the Martial Law Bureau, return power to the British royal family, and restore the orthodox monarchy.

Queen Victoria II was crowned in Westminster Abbey, and some companies that were helpful to the revolution, officials who defected to the Martial Law Bureau, and joined the righteous side were awarded honors, and a series of privatization laws were passed, which eventually transformed the United Kingdom into what it is today. empire.

The martial law bureau disappeared, a new aristocracy emerged, and the old aristocracy was brought back by the people.

In popular perception, it was the return of the old nobility and the support of the new nobility that allowed them to defeat those damn martial law bureaus.

Bryce knew the history of his country very well, and the so-called Golden Son was something created by these old and new nobles.

When he said these things, his brows were furrowed.

“Generally speaking, the new aristocracy is the companies of the new century, and the old aristocracy is the people who have owned land and other assets since ancient times.

There will be fights between nobles, but more often than not, the ancient method of marriage is used to unite these powers and assets through blood union, and become the rulers of the new era.

These beloved, wealthy and powerful new-age aristocrats are the so-called golden sons.

But there is another theory, which is darker: there were two uprisings, the first time was suppressed by the Martial Law Bureau and controlled for sixteen years.

The second time, they achieved an overwhelming victory within a few months. In fact, this was because these new nobles were the companies and dignitaries who had previously supported the Martial Law Agency, and even the top brass of the Martial Law Agency itself.

They chose to divest and betray at the right time, resulting in a devastating defeat for the Martial Law Bureau.

In fact, these people, whose hands were also stained with blood, never received punishment, and instead became lovable, funny and kind-hearted aristocrats. "

Therefore, in the entire bloody movement, the top people who made the real decisions had long since betrayed, and the dead were all the top soldiers below.

These high-ranking officials were transformed into new aristocrats.

"Well, it does sound like an urban conspiracy theory, but I don't quite understand why you want me to do it."

Leal pointed to the wall. There were a large number of jamming devices outside this house.

This interference would not rudely shut down Bryce's prosthetic body, but would falsify information, and in Bryce's work log, he was still interrogating Lucas.

This kind of technology requires being very good at network technology, having a certain understanding of network monitoring equipment, and having high-standard equipment.

Coincidentally, Lear has all these things: the crow microcontroller chip in his head is top-notch, the driver is for network monitoring, and he has already studied it thoroughly, and the high-standard jammer

They are all treasures that the Uzumaki Gang snatched to keep under the box.

Bryce stopped what he was doing and said: "Because we are forbidden to talk about this internally, Internet Monitoring has a mental health counseling job.

Rumors say: They may not be the rulers of the earth yet, but they are definitely working hard and they want everything.

Ordinary people lose wealth, prestige, and even lives in corporate battles, but they only lose the company.

If you go to Europe, you will find that such comments are completely unacceptable negative news for the aristocrats. People admire and love these aristocrats. "

Lille scratched his head: Is this considered negative news and criticism? That's really outrageous.

".According to this, if someone scolds these nobles like he scolded Ryan for being such a fried dough stick"

"You can discuss it with your own people, but if you publish this kind of news on the Internet..." Bryce scratched his neck, "This is not a legend, it is true, because I have done it.

Of course, the reason for the erasure will not be so clear, because there is no conspiracy theory term like "Golden Son" in the legal regulations.

I initially thought they were common criminals, but it took me some time to discover what they had in common. "

After Bryce finished speaking, he looked at the broken sniper and said with a complicated expression:

"This man is a ruthless person. Now I am very curious about why he did this, but I don't have that chance."

Is the Golden Son real? Even Bryce wants to know the truth.

If it is true, what does this man have to do with those people? Why would he kill the Golden Son and his son?

But it didn't matter because he was dead.

Lille also looked at the sniper's body, a little silent - if they weren't on the battlefield, they might be able to talk.

But he quickly thought of a question: "Wait a minute, since the Golden Son is just a legend, how can you be sure that he killed a Golden Son?"

"As network surveillance agents, we always have some privileges when it comes to intelligence." Bryce pointed to his head, "plus a little bit of suspicion and a little bit of logical thinking.

Did you know that Royal Enfield Ordnance, Heckler \u0026 Koch, Beretta and Rheinmeitl are all members of the same group?

I know, and the group produces twice as much weapons as Miltech and Arasaka combined, but the public knows nothing about it.

I really can't confirm that this is true, but if it is true, I know at least a few Golden Sons.

Because of these discoveries, I was sent to a psychotherapy room for three full years of treatment. "

"Then how did you get out?"

"I took the initiative to transfer to Night City to be responsible for the maintenance of the Black Wall. Why do you think I always spit on those idiots from the Voodoo Gang?"

"So you haven't come out yet."

Bryce walked to the wall and looked at the graffiti on the wall——

This is the territory of the Sixth Street Gang. There is a 666 painted on it in the color of the American flag. Below the pattern is a line of small words:

"Second Amendment, protect your civil rights!"

But what if people don’t even want to pick up weapons, but choose to surrender and sacrifice everything?

Bryce let out a long sigh and hit his head hard.

After a moment of silence, he said to Lille: "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Leal didn't smoke, but this place was one of the safe houses used by the Sixth Street Gang, and there was a box in the drawer.

"You're in luck - but your device should have some other encryption, right? Just be careful."

He took out the cigarette from the drawer and threw it to the network surveillance agent who always looked weak.

The firelight illuminated his cheeks, and now he didn't look weak, but indifferent.

Lille could see that this was a way to hide his confusion.

The latter lit up a cigarette and said silently: "Before I came to Night City, I always thought it was a cesspit, just to get rid of the endless ideological education and inspections.

But honestly, it's not that bad here.

Give me another 20 seconds and I will finish smoking this cigarette. "

In fact, it didn't even take 20 seconds. Bryce took a deep breath. In just one puff, the cigarette burned to the butt, as if all his inexplicable emotions were burned away.

"Sometimes I find that I have adapted to life here, and I don't know which is more fucked up, these trivial things or the voodoo gang.

But after getting rid of the Voodoo Gang, I can at least see that the Black Wall is indeed more stable, and my efforts are paying off. I guess I still like it here better. "

Lille looked at his appearance and said with great interest: "I didn't expect that you are still an angry young man?

You know, there's a saying in Night City: No one leaves the city except in a body bag.

You are a Night City person when you come. You are already a Night City person. "

Bryce was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "Ryan also asked me to tell you this at the right time. It's strange."

Now that that's the case, let's talk about the second thing. "

(Continuing to note, I am quoting a short section of the original setting here to give you a little more sense of immersion:)

(“They can work two to three working days a week, most of which can be done at any time. They only really have to go to work once or twice a month, usually to meet a non-European of their own level. Meeting.")

(“They do a lot of work behind the scenes.

Unlike other people with this kind of power, they don't like to show off.

They do show off their gold, but they don't like letting others know too much about them, their assets, or their activities.

This helps a lot with their PR when the public doesn't know who is to blame for recent ecological disasters.

Instead, some local minions took on the responsibility and then retired early with a comfort package so the commoners would quiet down. "

(As we all know, the Ye Group, the most conscientious company in Night City, has a working week of 80 hours, excluding "mandatory overtime".)
