ever since the financial collapse, the civil war in the United States, and the internet outage, he had been unemployed at home for several months, finding a job seemed like a fantasy, and his family of four barely got by on relief food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille had no intention of hiding the battles in Italy and Turkey; all Europeans could watch the battlefield footage online—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Latovians and their high-tech equipment on the streets, the brutal reality of war might not have descended upon them directly, but the sense of dread had already reached their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... what will become of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his confusion, a sudden tingling sensation spread through his head: he knew what it was, a brain-computer interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had been unemployed for a long time, he still had a brain-computer device that could access the Latovian network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[——Latovian network connection complete——]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[——National production system restructuring——]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To all European citizens: According to the emergency war decree (European Union Parliament Resolution 223), we will now centrally allocate overall social resources in the European Union.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To ensure the operation of society and prevent war from destroying everything, all citizens need to contribute their strength.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Data matching in progress...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Matched occupation: CNC Technician]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Assigned to: Berlin Second Wartime Production Base]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Production base status: Being rebuilt]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please proceed immediately to your workplace—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We must win this war.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dimly lit home, Walter looked at his wife in astonishment, only to find her looking back at him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and they instantly understood they had both received job allocation notifications from the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do not worry about family members unable to work at home, as we will provide them with separate educational institutions to ensure their safety and education.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Public transport will arrive at the bottom of your building in 5 minutes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark, the couple quickly made a decision: rather than sitting at home waiting to die, it was clearly more promising to find a job and contribute to the war effort at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside on the street, lights came on, led by a Latovian patrol team composed of a soldier, with the rest consisting of unmanned cars and drones as support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People hiding in their homes gradually emerged from their houses and apartments, boarding the transport vehicles uniformly, coordinating through the vast production network with robots controlled by Night City laborers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear and confusion are often broken by simple commands—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is also related to Lille’s image:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did indeed help Europe recover from chaos, did indeed win against Ultron, did indeed save the people in the cities...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On careful consideration, since Lille’s name first appeared in people’s sight, he had never committed any proven acts of terror; instead, his enemies were all odious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lille truly were the \"Doctor Doom\" as described by Rocksen Group and the President of Shufa, he wouldn’t even need to help the indifferent neighbor that is the EU!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those sensitive enough would immediately notice this information actually bypassed the governing bodies of various countries, directly reaching those within each nation implanted with brain-computer interfaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Politicians quickly discovered that under the orders of another nation’s leader, their citizens had begun moving in an organized manner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, many politicians also had brain-computer devices and received instructions from Lille—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lille infiltrated the European Union, they were the ones giving orders; if they didn’t cooperate, who knew whether an even bigger mess would unfold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though information technology and cyber interface technology can exponentially increase the efficiency of social coordination, both from the perspective of social transition and device production, all this still requires time to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smooth transition is evidently beneficial to social development and mobilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many politicians accepted this reality: they were incapable of handling the current situation and silently began issuing new laws and restructuring the government according to the instructions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, there were, of course, some discordant voices: some citizens like parasites, lazy and diligent; some politicians like stubborn old men, smart and foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former’s laziness, whether from fear or ignorance, led them to refuse cooperation with Lille’s allocation; yet they were diligent enough to shout and protest loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter wisely realized the former’s existence, wisely realized they could still criticize Lille for bypassing legal procedures, wisely realized they could join the former in causing trouble, to force this \"dictator\" Lille to relinquish some power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were foolish in that they wrongly perceived Lille as a kind person, one who could easily enslave Europe through violence and control, yet pretended to care about legalities like some Holy Mother...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thought they could use this method to preserve their positions of power in the new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But handcuffs and bullets could correct their thoughts—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And entirely legally, without violating \"public opinion\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is difficult to quantify the significance of these actions, but from a macro perspective, everything transitioned so smoothly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if Lille simultaneously won a landslide election in dozens of countries in the European Union to become the leader, and at the same time won all legislative institutions’ votes to become the sole legislator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one found anything wrong with it, whether from a rational or emotional standpoint, they all gladly accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast system was gaining new life on the dying European continent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-06-03T12:33:38.571Z","2026-06-03T12:33:48.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","d208aaddd16d01497d7a409647955cc729ef59fca8b7f15aaf316d5a95e0650e","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-1000","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-998",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
