Chapter 314 Entering the Control Tower

The world is destined to move from barbarism to civilization, and wanderers will eventually return to the city.

The reason why wanderers wander in the badlands is that there is no living space for them in the city, coupled with some historical issues.

The Meta Clan, one of the Wanderers, successfully completed the transformation by inventing the world's first ACPA armor.

The current Meta clan is more like a company than a wandering family. They have established the Meta Group and have their own independent district, Meta Port.

Even in the year 2077, when countless super companies have fallen, Meta Group still stands tall in the Gulf of Mexico.

Several decades have passed since the Fourth Corporate War, and Arasaka and its military technology, which suffered heavy damage, have recovered.

It is foreseeable that in order to redistribute the world's resources, Arasaka and Militech will have a war. In this war, the first to suffer will definitely be the Rangers.

Whether it is to maintain stability or to broaden the battlefield vision, wanderers must be eliminated. This is not a question of where to escape to, this is the general trend of the world.

This trend has already appeared in Night City. Lucius Lane has signed an agreement with Military Technology to clear out the wanderers outside Night City.

From a certain perspective, Thor's idea was right, the only mistake was that he chose the wrong partner.

Therefore, Ling Luxian sincerely hopes that Panam and the Adrado family can be integrated into the city rules.

Soon, Kang Tao's fleet will arrive at the Night City Harbor, and Taipingzhou will be rebuilt. Ling Luxian hopes that the Adecado family in the Bad Land can become the Adecado gang in Taipingzhou.

It would be even better if we could bring in all the Adecados across North America. These are tens of thousands of high-quality soldiers.

Unfortunately, Panam is still using the mindset of a wanderer to promote the development of the Adecado family.

Therefore, Ling Luxian must first try to change Panam's mind by making friends.

"Okay, after I'm done with this busy period, I'll meet the friend you mentioned."

"It's settled then." Ling Luxian stretched out his left fist, meaning to make an agreement with Panam.

Panam also stretched out his right fist and bumped it with Ling Lu's.

"No need to talk anymore, we're already here."

As soon as Ling Luxian got out of the car, he heard Cassidy exclaim, "This thing is fucking huge."

The locomotive of a freight train is not comparable to the rail transit in Night City. The old cowboy has never seen such a big car that can run on the ground.

Carol joked, "If you like it so much, let's drive the train away. As for the lizard, you can do whatever you want."

Cassidy agreed, "Yes, bring this big baby to 101 and drive it back. It's a waste to leave it here."

"Then Thor will definitely agree." Carol deliberately said sarcastically.

Of course Saul would not agree. If he kept such a large locomotive at home, it would be a sitting duck that would lead the enemy astray.

Besides, in order to drive the locomotive away, there must be a railway. Adecardo can't always camp by the railway, right?

"Is everyone ready?" Panam asked.

The sun was about to set below the horizon and the chirping of insects could be clearly heard all around. Panam obviously didn't want to waste any more time.

"Everything is ready." Everyone responded in unison.

Panam turned to Carol and said, "Then Carol, you will be responsible for hacking into this big guy's system."

Ling Luxian looked at the locomotive, pinched his chin and asked curiously: "This locomotive has probably been left here for decades, right? Can it still move?"

"Then you underestimate the value of this locomotive." Carol replied, "This thing is a nuclear-powered engine. This was taken into consideration when it was designed, and the materials used are extremely solid.

It can be said that even if you break, it won’t break. ”

"Why doesn't the company recycle this awesome thing?"

Ling Luxian was even more curious. According to Carol, this locomotive must have been built at a huge cost. But the company just left it here and "scrapped" it.

Cassidy put his hands behind his back, stood on tiptoe, and said leisurely: "As for the company, you know. I guess some employee put it on the list of cost reduction and efficiency improvement."

"Oh, I understand now." Ling Luxian suddenly realized, "We have a saying that can be described as 'a son selling his father's land without any pain.'"

Panam nodded and said, "Very vivid."

Scorpion stretched and said, "Let's get to work. I'm a little sleepy."

Mitch joked, "You've been sleeping since this morning and have been sleeping all the way in the car. Are you that sleepy?"

"Ah~" Scorpion yawned, "Stop talking nonsense, Mitch and I will take care of the control tower, and you guys can take care of the rest of the work."

Carol went to hack into the control system of the locomotive, while Mitch and Scorpion took care of the control tower. In addition to Ling Luxian and Panam, Cassidy and a few others were also free.

Ling Luxian looked at everyone and felt embarrassed to be lazy as he was there to help.

So he said, "What else is there to do? Then I'll go."

Panam looked at Ling Luxian and said, "In addition to getting the control tower and the system, we also need to get the control authority of the control tower."

"Can't we just break in? Is it necessary to be so troublesome?" Ling Luxian asked with his head tilted.

"No." Panam shook his head, "This antique is at least forty years old, and the operating module it uses is different from the current ones, it is a punch-type computer.

I know you are a very good hacker, but the operating systems are different and not compatible. "

"Okay, let me guess, we have to find that punched card, right?" Ling Luxian nodded between his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, let's go together."

Mitch and Scorpion were tinkering with the transformer, and Carol took the tablet and approached the locomotive, ready to hack into its system?

Ling Luxian and Panam arrived at the gate of the control tower and found that the gate had been locked.

Panam walked to the electrical box next to the door and prepared to change the wires to open the door.

"Why are you going through so much trouble?" Ling Luxian kicked the door of the control tower open.

Panam held his forehead with his hand, a little speechless, "As expected of you, you always like to use the simplest and crudest means to solve problems."

Ling Luxian scratched his head, "Why? Don't you like it?"

"Not really..."

During their time alone, Panam mainly wanted to interact with Ling Luxian and ask him to help her change her route. But who would have thought that Ling Luxian would kick the door open, which was too unromantic.

Is it really appropriate to show such a simple and crude method in front of a lady? Fortunately, Panam is not the kind of hypocritical girl and appreciates this simple and crude method.
