6.17 Looking at New York from a different perspective
"Sentinel. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Wu Chen subconsciously repeated.
"Yes, Sentinel." As he spoke, Sebastian Shaw gently placed an encrypted data disk on the desktop. "This is the information I've gathered over the years. I've heard you're looking for Wolverine's whereabouts, so be sure to know that Logan came from a secret program called X-Weapon. And I'm sure that the Sentinel program will be far more harmful than the X-weapon. Or even an apocalyptic cataclysm. β
Sebastian Shaw's words are by no means alarmist. Wu Chen, who knew the direction of the plot, nodded lightly: "So, what do you want me to do?" β
Sebastian Shaw was about to speak, but was mentally stopped by the White Queen next to him. Wu Chen was also a strong person with spiritual power, so he naturally noticed the brief secret communication between the two.
Sure enough, after a slight pause, Sebastian Shaw smiled: "Of course, an alliance is the best choice. However, I'm sure you have some concerns about me, for my organization. As you can see, neither Professor X nor Magneto have any essential differences in their treatment of humans and mutants. β
Wu Chen smiled slightly: "It's just that the means are different." β
"That's right." Sebastian Shaw laughs: "Hopefully the Sentinels are a good start and will help us build trust in each other." We'll talk about that later. β
"Okay." Wu Chen had no reason to refuse.
At this stage, the Sentinels are indeed the greatest threat to all humans and mutants. If the two clans fight among themselves at this time, it will only waste their strength and let the sentinel fisherman benefit. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united and facing them together is the right choice.
Walking with the devil does not necessarily mean becoming a devil. If you want to tempt the lords of pluralism under the supremacy of humanity, the devils need to make a high price.
"Okay." Sebastian Shaw got up with a smile, "If you need anything, please tell Emma." β
Sebastian Shaw took a dignified farewell and left the secret passage, keeping silent about his true identity and the powerful organization he led.
However, Wu Chen, who had already outlined all the energy circuits of the Sapphire Gentleman Club, was clear about the Black King's actions. This gentleman's club that towers over the city that never sleeps is not only a gold cave for dignitaries and wealthy elites, but also a hidden base for mutant transformation.
In a hidden base hundreds of meters underground, Hellfire's scientists are skillfully injecting various variant-inducing genes into the bodies of mutant cell carriers. Artificially and directionally breed the mutants needed for Hellfire to serve the entire organization.
In other words, Sebastian Shaw is not a mutant born naturally. Instead, during the Nazi concentration camp, he was injected with the serum of the baby Magneto and gained the ability to mutate. For the carrier of mutant cells, artificially catalyzing into a mutant is his ability to be familiar with it.
These artificially created mutants, in Wu Chen's view, are just one of the genetic technologies. The abilities of these artificially mutated mutants are generally around 3 stars. For Wu Chen, there is no threat at all.
The Black King is gone, but the White Queen remains.
A man and two women are in the same room, and after a long time, some small ambiguities gradually develop.
The White Queen, who is accustomed to playing with the spiritual world of men, has a natural coldness in her bones.
This is obviously very different from the white queen who was called a white in the comics. And yet, yet! As the black king of hellfire, Sebastian Shaw has never had a super-friendly intimate relationship with her, Wu Chen expressed cautious optimism.
"Nope." The energy was slightly scattered, and the opportunity was seized by the White Queen.
"What?" Wu Chen subconsciously asked rhetorically.
The White Queen just looked at him quietly and did not answer. There is no need to answer.
How can it be......
Wu Chengang pouted in his heart.
The White Queen flashed all over her body and turned into a crystal clear and cool diamond body!
The Queen of the Storm, who thought that the White Queen wanted to flip the table and turn her face, was covered with lightning and thunder, and her eyes were covered with a layer of white mist in an instant!
However, Wu Chen understood in seconds!
No wonder the White Queen puts on a cold face all day long! Is it because as long as you are excited, you can't help but feel tight, and you can't help but click the diamond body when you're tight!
Look at my mouth: click!
Sizzle-
Wu Chen couldn't help but gasp.
What happened next, Wu Chen could only say that the picture was too beautiful to bear to look at directly!
"So ......"
"That's it." The White Queen lifted the diamondization with a blank face.
"I see." In the face of the human tragedy in front of him, Wu Chen felt an inexplicable excitement and a sense of relief for Mao?
Bidding farewell to the White Queen, Wu Chen hummed a little song and returned to the White Swan with the Storm Queen.
It is said that in the defense of old Hong Kong, 500 sentinel robots chased Professor X and others to Hong Kong, and were wiped out by Wu Chen by borrowing the electromagnetic storm released by Tianhuo MT. After being reactivated, it will become an important guard force in the new Hong Kong, with the Water Drop spaceship from Cybertron as its base camp.
The Water Drop, which has been remodeled by the Sark Giant, not only has a human aesthetic appearance, but also has a full set of black technologies from Cybertron: dark matter engine, proton cannon, laser beam, energy shield, gravity generator, various guided missiles, and space bridges.
The potential enemies that the sentinels have to deal with are mutants with various abilities who have appeared in New Hong Kong.
And the leader of the 500 new Hong Kong sentinels is Gilgamesh, who guards Su Yueming at all times.
The sentinels are connected to each other through the Drop's quantum intranet and the Sark giant's Ξ¨ extranet. Just like the geth neural network in Mass Effect, the sentinels who network with each other have a strong sense of crowd intelligence. This golden high-level code, which is like a fire source well, shares the results of evolution with each other, constantly updating and replenishing the control code in the whole body, and growing into more and more powerful intelligent life at an astonishing speed.
That's right, the biggest difference with the X sentinel who has not yet broken away from the identity of the machine is that Wu Chen's Ninglu sentinel has already appeared with a factor of wisdom.
Sark Giant, Super A.I, Photonic Network, Digital Program...... The electromagnetic environment of the new Hong Kong is full of wisdom factors, and it also gives artificial intelligence in it, the most precious intelligent enlightenment.
This impact, even beyond the boundaries of organic and inorganic, began to affect humans.
White swan, upper deck, panoramic bridge.
Waiting for Su Yueming to get up lazily, take care of everything, and come to the panoramic bridge, Wu Chen was discussing the defense plan of New York City with several members of the White Swan crew.
"Unleashing seed bombs is the fastest route. However, it is inevitable that accidental injuries will occur. "The TT40, which is projected on a laser, simulates the explosion of a seed bomb in the heart of New York." If personnel evacuation is carried out in advance, the damage can be further reduced. However, this is bound to cause even greater panic. β
Wu Chen, who had experienced the defense of Hong Kong, thought of New York's subway: "If you move all the people to underground shelters like Hong Kong, can you reduce the damage?" β
"Master, just like the biochemical catastrophe that broke out at the end of the Battle of Hong Kong, dense crowds are extremely prone to large-scale infectious disasters. Especially the humanoid sentinels who blend in with the crowd, they have inherited the powerful imitation ability from the demon girl, and they are invincible. "TT40 mimics an outbreak of genetic infection of a variant in New York. It seems to be even more terrifying than the old Hong Kong. Because at that time, the population of old Hong Kong was less than 7 million, and New York, which had more than 20 million, was almost three times that of old Hong Kong.
"X-Band." Wu Chen thought of the players who were entrenched in School X. They have been able to simulate the appearance of a human being. Mixing in with the crowd is simply unguardable. Even if Wu Chen doesn't want to be their enemy, once the plot advances rapidly, Wu Chen and the X-Warrior Group will inevitably choose their respective camps. Judging from the fuzzy calculation results of TT40, it is very likely that they belong to the opposing camp.
In other words, hostility is inevitable.
"If a seed bomb explodes in the center, how many casualties will it cause?" Wu Chen finally asked.
"About 4 percent." That's 8 million people.
This price is too great for Wu Chen to bear. Originally, the purpose of building New York as a fortified city was to protect the city and its inhabitants. Now that 8 million people have to be killed to build it, what is the use of this fortified city?
Faced with the predicament in front of him, Wu Chen couldn't force it. Because he knows very well that the only way for pan-democracy is to sit down and talk. However, how to talk about it? Who to talk to? And how to talk about it?
Wu Chen had no clue at all.
Even convincing most New Yorkers that a few psychic powerhouses and a photon cloud brain could predict the future is a huge problem.
New Yorkers, accustomed to the destruction of the world, have nothing more than shrugging their shoulders about the end of the world. Then come on.
It's amazing! Doomsday Lao Tzu has seen a lot, wow!
Whewββ
What to do?
Eyes on New York City on a holographic platform, cruising back and forth. Wu Chen suddenly set his sights on an island with few buildings. Visually, the island is much larger than Manhattan.
"Where is this?"
TT40 immediately said, "Staten Island." β
New York City is divided into five boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
Manhattan is a small and narrow island, but also the most economically developed area, with many high-rise buildings, which can be said to be the symbol of New York; Queens is the largest of the five boroughs and is known for its diverse population; The most densely populated area is Brooklyn, which was once a neighborhood inhabited by blacks and other minorities, and due to the low level of education, employment difficulties and racial discrimination of minorities, it was once the highest crime rate in the United States. The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York, with the most parkland, a predominantly African and Latin American population, and one of the highest crime rates and a high incidence of crime.
Staten Island, located southwest of Manhattan, is the least populated of the five boroughs.
The only way to connect the island to the rest of New York City is the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and the StatenislandFerry. Coupled with the long-term lack of transportation and the fact that it used to be a garbage dumping station, it is not favored by New Yorkers.
However, because of its proximity to Manhattan Island, it is favored by Chinese immigrants who are accustomed to measuring the value of land and housing in a straight line from the city center. According to statistics, among the new immigrants on Staten Island, the number of Chinese immigrants is the highest.
But in any case, it can't change the embarrassment of Staten Island's location, let alone the situation that is shrouded in the shadow of the bustling Manhattan Island all day long. The place of Staten Island in the minds of New Yorkers and the New York government may be illustrated by a real-life case.
It is said that one year, when the New York City Hall was calculating the government spending for the coming year, it actually forgot about Staten Island! Being forgotten by the whole of New York City is perhaps the truest portrayal of Staten Island.
In addition to its awkward location, it is also the most environmentally vulnerable area in New York City.
Most of Staten Island is below sea level, and storm surges have plagued the area for a long time. According to the New York Post, during Hurricane Sandy hit New York, Staten Island, the least populated of the five boroughs in New York City, died 22 people in the wind, accounting for more than half of the city's death toll (41)!
Low-lying land, garbage dumps, wind-damaged places, burial places...... And so on, making Staten Island a 'civilized desert' destined to be forgotten. Especially when compared to Manhattan across the sea. There are even Wall Street bankers who scoffed that it was ringworm in New York.
The reason why Wu Chen also ignored Shi Dao was because he set his attention on Manhattan from the beginning. When he fulfilled Su Yueming's wish and turned all his attention to the plot line of reversing the future, Wu Chen's overall view immediately regained the broadness that pluralism should have.
Defending New York doesn't mean defending Manhattan.
It would be a good choice to build a sturdy war castle on the forgotten island of history to defend against sentinels and evil mutants!
Crucially, it's much easier to buy Staten Island's vast wasteland and low-rise and scattered newcomer settlements than it is to buy sacrosanct Manhattan!
"TT40, do the math, what are the odds of winning if we transform Shidao into a defense system similar to the new Hong Kong?" Wu Chen immediately asked.
The TT40 immediately enlarged the hologram of Shi Dao, simulating a complete upgrade to the specifications of the new Hong Kong.
"Shijima is triangular in shape, with a coastline of about 56 kilometers and an area of nearly 155 square kilometers. According to the calculation that a 10,000-meter skyscraper covers an area of 5 square kilometers, 31 skyscrapers can be built, which can accommodate 31 million people. The population of the entire New York Region is only 20 million, and after deducting the necessary defense and civic facilities, it is perfectly fine. "TT40 has completed the redesign of the entire island with the assistance of Photon Cloud Brain.
Wu Chen looked at Mrs. Cobwebs again: "Cassandra, what do you think?" β
Mrs. Cobweb, who had been sitting quietly next to her, smiled and nodded: "My master, it is feasible." β
Wu Chen took a fancy to Mrs. Spiderweb, who could be called a terrifying and powerful connection. Since she said it was feasible, it meant that although there were difficulties, they could be solved.
Just do it. Wu Chen immediately contacted the mayor of New York and made an appointment to meet. As the nominal top executive of New York, the attitude of the mayor of New York is also crucial.
As for the folk. The demands of the residents of Shidao should not be difficult to solve.
The difficulty is in the areas that are classified as various protected areas. Referring to the renovation process at Rockefeller Center, this is not a problem either.
"You want to buy ...... Staten Island? The mayor of New York, with dark circles under his eyes, showed an expression of Progeriatric Alzheimer's disease. (To be continued.) )
