Traveling from California to New York had already worn them out, not to mention the disappointment they felt back at the hospital in California.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With dark circles under their eyes, they leaned wearily against chairs and walls, the air thick with silent anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospital in California had told them that the Governor’s condition was very bad, and even if he were saved, there was a high chance he might become a vegetable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or end up a fool, in any case, the brain damage was severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the situation, they had no choice but to trust the proposal of the International Gene Cooperation Company: using experimental technology to take an aggressive approach to treat his brain nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But experimental technology is, after all, experimental. It felt more like a last-ditch effort; no one knew what the outcome would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to the surgical room opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conners, wearing a mask, seemed a bit exhausted. He nodded to the family, indicating they could go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action... made Mrs. Newsom feel like she was struck by lightning—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought this meant they were here to see him for the last time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your voice down, the patient’s nerves are still recovering, try to avoid any intense stimuli.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this turn of events, the eldest son briskly walked into the surgical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governor Newsom opened his eyes and saw the blinding surgical room lights —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was intentional; seeing him awake, the lights started to soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memory... he seemed to have been hit by a car... hit by a car!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly became tense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hit by a car but didn’t die! There would definitely be more attacks after this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or... where was he now?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tense emotions caused rapid brainwave fluctuations until he saw his wife and eldest son entering—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad!\" \"Ani (Arnold’s nickname)!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille pressed down his arms towards the excited pair, and it was then that Newsom noticed this young man, who seemed to be... a doctor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded somewhat familiar, not sure where he had heard it, maybe the news?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, I know you’re excited right now, but we’re using electrical stimulation therapy to repair nerve damage, please try to keep the patient calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... Alright, Doctor.\" The Governor’s eldest son quickly adjusted, speaking respectfully, \"Thank you for your help, Mr. Lee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he appeared much calmer, he habitually extended his hand, a sign he was still quite excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille shook his gloved hand, \"That’s okay, I guess we’ll have lots of collaboration in the future. But for now, it’s best if everyone gets some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man withdrew his hand, unfazed, \"Alright, but regarding the attack this time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There might be more to come, right? Don’t worry, we’ve already hired Xin’an Security to be in charge here, nothing will go wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your family is all here, right? At least everyone is in New York?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone’s here—those people... they’re very rampant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man seemed a bit angry, but the emotion was well-contained, making him look like a young man planning to go into politics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Lille removed his gloves and took off his mask, \"If needed, you can also use a private line to make outside contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trust me, a secure communication channel is very important, and that’s exactly my specialty, we’ll discuss other matters tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man appeared quite surprised, looking at his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arnold had regained much of his composure and memory, quickly adjusting his mindset with family by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded slightly to his son, who then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alright, let’s talk tomorrow. Thank you again for your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille nodded, and led Professor Conners and his team out of the surgical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they left, several armed security personnel entered and stood guard outside the surgical room and resting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions were hidden under tactical half-masks, their eyes almost emotionless, making them seem extremely professional, so professional it was a bit intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given the current circumstances, it was reassuring—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arnold blinked: It was just him and his family in this room, Lille did this without asking, it seemed impolite, but actually...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was well done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the real situation, sometimes not asking was better than asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the next day, all the cables on Arnold’s body had been removed, leaving only a small opening sealed with a medical seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So my brain is now implanted with... a miniaturized computer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could say that, a bunch of electronic equipment. You can have it removed if you want, but I suggest you think it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I assume you’ve noticed some numbness and weakness in your lower body, that’s because your spine suffered a hard injury, unless you replace the spine directly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise I’ll be wheelchair-bound for life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily, you’ll just need crutches to walk slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit... Can this small opening be fixed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To a certain extent, yes, we’re researching a high-sensitivity prosthetic technology based on this small opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can block your damaged spinal nerves and use other functioning nerves to transmit signals to assistive moving devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In medical terms...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Equivalent to some kind of functional compensation?\" Governor Newsom immediately followed up, \"My mother had such surgery before she passed away, and doctors also told her to exercise more to promote functional compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this sounds a bit too sci-fi, you know? I played in a movie where I was a...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille had a peculiar expression, \"A killer robot, I know. Anyway, we have the technology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great, I can give it a try.\" Governor Newsom, though unable to shrug, made a matching facial expression, \"Let’s get down to business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technology you have is more advanced than what’s reported in the news. I’ve heard the experts at California State Hospital saying I’d become a vegetable, yet you saved me in a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to California, we’ll give you the green light for anything you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\" Lille nodded readily, \"But we can’t abandon New York.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, it’s impossible. And your affairs in New York, we’ll support you. You’re looking to support a mayor, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Lille nodded, \"but that’s my business, I have my own plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arnold shook his head lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He meant to have Anthony, the union leader Lille was supporting, join their party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Lille had no such intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille continued, \"It’s not bad luck, we can still cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explain in detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example... the chip we used to save you is our proprietary development, the mass-production technology will soon be in place—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as we have the matching land and policy support, the first production line could be operational next week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arnold was slightly taken aback, yet respectfully—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>California had a very famous high-tech industrial base, Silicon Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the birthplace and concentration of the semiconductor industry, but now all its capacity was devoted to the military industry, with the main orders coming from there—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a very bad phenomenon. It wouldn’t be long before those enterprises naturally inclined toward policies that would profit them, from shareholders to CEOs to workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Francisco had already shown signs of losing control due to the surge in military orders, which was not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, an opportunity appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me more—I want to know the details, precisely, we want to know the details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille readily nodded, pulling up the projection on the wall—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s arrangement was elaborate, their power much stronger than Lille’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was that in terms of methods, Lille could almost always come up with direct countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-03T12:33:12.909Z","2026-06-03T12:33:19.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f844c8159c2f3e7f241ecac8ff095173800a123b9423ed058d819a493764dad","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-273","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-271",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
