we’ll annihilate the enemy there in one strike.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash stepped out of the shadows, her hooded face glaringly visible under the light:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This face was dreadfully pale, not due to malnutrition, but a special synthetic material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she strode towards her Titan, the motors and mechanical joints on her body emitted a soft whir...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body illuminated under the lights bore no human flesh, just like the Titan before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does this world have no unique reaction to AI emergence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because AI technology here is extremely widespread and commonplace, Ash is an example of a human transformed into a robot after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see what you’ve got, pilot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack blasted away the last batch of enemies, looking towards the path ahead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had leveraged the shortcut Lille provided to arrive at the dome’s entrance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shortcut truly elevated his operational efficiency; these IMC forces were utterly reactive, coupled with Jack’s superb combat prowess and the factory equipment’s tacit and overt assistance, a battle ended in no more than ten seconds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pathway towards the dome lay ahead right now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dull black hexagonal modules opened a passage; Jack rushed inside without hesitation——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, a brand-new world unfolded before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called dome was the assembly product of modular buildings produced within the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These prefabricated constructions were far from the typical mobile homes of the Cyberpunk or Marvel World eras; rather, they were sturdily built with iron plates and concrete, even with soil and grass forming the house \"floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this floor, there were buildings matching New York’s ordinary constructions in terms of quality, equipped with furniture, appliances, and mannequins...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the outside, it resembled a real scene almost entirely, while the venue’s four sides and sky were blocked with ultra-high-definition holographic panels, ensuring internal combat wouldn’t affect the outside while providing a sky and distant view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immersed within, it was as if stepping into a truly boundless vast space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The holographic wall behind closed the entry passage, and Jack gazed at this space as though he had suddenly transferred from the factory to the mountains and forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the factory broadcast quickly shattered this illusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Loading Scenario 127 in Dynamic Simulation Dome 314.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A platform rose before Jack, he stepped forward and picked up the weapon from the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Another test, we almost died just now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut your mouth, hold your weapon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voices echoed from afar, Jack looked up and saw the opposite wall open, a few resistance soldiers entered rather disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this wasn’t their first test participation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Commencing the IMC Death God Testing Program.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the venue, a giant platform ascended from the ground, and the soldiers termed Ghost Soldiers started firing immediately upon stabilizing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these soldiers began shooting, Jack realized something peculiar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Modern battlefields necessitate information technology integration and deployment, yet soldier combat situations remain highly random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, a squad of 12 might blindly fire at a location under orders, but it’s utterly impossible to manage ballistic trajectories into a shape that completely restricts his mobility...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These robots can do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their every shot trajectory was unified through calculation, coordinating their firing to challenge highly mobile pilots like him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this testing venue had cover; Jack hid behind it, listening to bullets pinging off it while instantly planning his route:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were these robots designed to target pilots?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This design warrants optimization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three grenades were pulled and hurled; two exploded mid-air, the shockwave propelling the third grenade like shrapnel, evading the Ghost Soldiers’ precision aiming and detonating amongst them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunfire paused briefly with the explosion, Jack dashed out at the explosion’s moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew these robots adjusted extremely quickly; there was no time to ascertain the explosion’s efficacy. He must seize this instant and ensure the explosion disrupted those robots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he did it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brief pause provided him the chance to leap and fire his hook line, clutching the \"billboard\" simulation board by the house and gliding towards the back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Ghost Soldiers responded, their bullets could only trace his afterglow into the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the building, he activated his invisibility equipment——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This series of moves completely broke the Ghost Soldiers’ lock; the robots swiftly re-aimed to focus fire on suppressing the resistance at the other end, leaving them utterly unprepared for the incoming bullets from an unanticipated direction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-temperature plasma clusters formed lines, a total of three dangerous red plasma bullets penetrated several Ghost Soldiers’ heads!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire suppression gaps appeared; the resistance soldiers raised their heads just in time to see Jack reveal himself by firing from their side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, a pilot! We are saved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-03T12:33:36.099Z","2026-06-03T12:33:42.185Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4c63772a17d6f461d28abf7b02128f59b528c2caaaf7460695c11a6d2592439","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-799","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-797",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
