Recently, the City Guard has observed several military dynamics indicating that New America is amassing troops towards Southern California, which severely threatens the city’s safety...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just tonight, the elite City Guard has already stormed into Southern California’s capital, Los Angeles, and here is live footage from the battlefield...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...A fierce gunfight broke out at the Nevada State Hall, with the legendary mercenary from Night City, ’Big Shot,’ suspected of piloting a massive combat robot to break into the City Hall. A total of 25 senior executives from state-round firms and the state government were thrown out of the windows....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Las Vegas’s abandoned Ghost District lit up, citizens rioted, and many executives were found brutally murdered in power wells, suspected to be the work of Night City’s legendary mercenary ’King’...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit... here comes the breaking news: nuclear explosions have occurred in Arkansas, Minnesota, and Illinois.

The gangs aren’t so scary anymore, let alone the fact that the Six Street Gang and Adkaduo here are wearing NCPD-contracted attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is just a snapshot of the city: it proves that gangs can coexist, gangs and Night City Government can coexist, and ordinary people can also survive here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the street, a heavy pickup truck sped by, racing towards Taiping State—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s ears perked up instantly; this sound was unique and not from an ordinary Mackinaw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice came from outside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car was driving on the avenue of Night City, V comfortably lying in the passenger seat, watching as passing citizens gave them thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s as simple and pleasant as going for a walk after dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack sat in the exclusive rear seat, nodding approvingly, patting the car while glancing at his own arm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This job was ridiculously simple, it’s practically like going out for a relaxing trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past two years of overloading had made him forget how well the prosthetics trained by Lille worked, although his body had nearly replaced all its original parts, there was no noticeable delay, sensitivity almost like the original body, with more stability and greater power...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, with Big Mike’s terrifying combat abilities, everything felt like a cinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s next for us? New America certainly won’t let it go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New America?\" V scoffed, \"Old bitch Miles can’t even protect himself, let alone letting it go. Keep coming, keep killing, and see how much good stuff we’ve already got.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she patted the outside of the car door; her palms aren’t big, but the knocks made a loud clang on the car’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille sat in the cargo bed, counting ammunition: a total of 14 short-range nuclear bombs, clearly indicating that nuclear missile technology in this world isn’t very mature or hasn’t been much developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These nuclear bombs come equipped with propulsion parts, but the precision and range are quite pathetic, even so, it’s considered advanced in this world—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because other organizations simply don’t study this, the military technology’s sense in warfare technology development is indeed best, but it was dragged down by the United States and New America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the nuclear fission technology front... Lille could only describe their design as trash, no wonder hydrogen bombs are rare here because manufacturing the fission trigger needed for nuclear fusion reactions is tremendously cumbersome, the nuclear fusion design won’t be small either, hence resulting in a fusion bomb’s volume being absurdly large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The larger the bomb’s volume, the larger the propulsion part would be needed, yet this world tends towards miniaturization in aircraft propulsion technology. Although there are rocket boosters, companies would definitely be unwilling to use their costly rocket engines as a one-time bomb propulsion part...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Lille thought about it, the more he pitied the companies, involuntarily shaking his head—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also heard V’s door-knocking noise simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing checking all the bombs, Lille replied, \"New America indeed won’t let it go, but what we really need to pay attention to isn’t New America.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V curiously asked, \"Then who is it? Are we just going to ignore New America and go help your European buddies fight wars? I’ve never been to Europe, a damn world-leading economy got messed up by you till what state?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Europe really that beautiful? The news said Berlin had a gigantic artificial waterfall and a Sky Garden...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... if everything was indeed great, my European pals wouldn’t need to rebel, remember Atlanta? It’s kind of like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... so at the end of the day, home is still better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Home is indeed better, Hansen has already returned, let’s see what he’s brought back for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-03T12:33:47.681Z","2026-06-03T12:33:56.171Z",1,"novelbin.me","feed0f398ff69ff62c84efbe8a3e6b985800b0679c7464078187750c6351731d","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-1029","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-1027",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
