Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 695 - 223: The Launch Method of Future Players (Part 3)

Instead, a large number of small Calamis around died, while the two sides at war gradually grew stronger.

Of course, while Lin Miao was fiercely competitive with other companies, he did not forget the development work of Stone Ridge Mountain Town. The external publicity was building more factories and warehouses with less land, but only Lin Miao knew what he really wanted.

Most of the mountain was hollowed out and transformed, with high-strength metal beams supporting the solid mountain structure. Frame robots glided on prefabricated tracks with their feet and used their equipped industrial modules for construction processing. Sparks of arcs continuously fell at the feet of Lin Miao and Gloria as they walked side by side on the lowest level of the mountain building, the former location of the Stone Ridge Mountain tunnel.

Gloria looked at the report in her hands and reported on recent work to Lin Miao

"The first area of the cryogenic warehouse has been completed, and fifty of the hundred dormancy pods ordered from the Trauma Team have been installed, in two chambers, ready to be activated anytime if needed."

From ERO till now, the matters in her hands have increased, but the corresponding company AI database has also become increasingly comprehensive, helping solve many issues, hence there was no instance of being overwhelmed.

Lin Miao nodded

"How is its effectiveness?"

"As long as electricity and nutrients are sufficient, it can maintain human dormancy without loss for about a year. If extended, the effects of electrical stimulation will gradually decrease, and bodily strength will gradually diminish."

Without movement for a long time, muscle atrophy is an inevitable symptom, whether massage or electrical stimulation can only delay this trend.

Of course, if you play Sith Dragon, Truncalan, Triton, not exercising but even sleeping grows muscles.

Surely, Lin Miao prepared the dormancy pods not for his own use, but for the players.

As a mechanical gate opened, a neatly arranged room appeared with glass pods resembling coffins, arranged in five rows and five columns, totaling 25. Each dormancy pod contained a human body, eyes closed tight and expressionless, resembling a morgue.

Lin Miao never forgot, players were his greatest asset.

But the resurrection mechanism for players was Lin Miao's number one big problem on his mind.

The number of bio-modification pods given by the system is extremely limited. So far, with draws and mission rewards, there are only 50, but there are already 2000 players, clearly not enough.

If Lin Miao hadn't acquired ERO, and further assisted players in self-learning medical skills to become doctors, creating a medical force, after a battle, players waiting in line for body repairs in modification pods would form a chain, let alone resurrection occupying the numbers.

This version alone, with each batch of 500 players, he first had to let other players repair their dormitories, then the modification pods worked 24/7, creating a person to be picked up by robots to be placed in empty dormitory beds, not unattended, otherwise, these bodies could die of hunger or thirst. After several days of work could the account distribution preparation be completed once.

And the technical content of the bio-modification pods is significantly higher than all technology he drew, undoubtedly advanced card pool content, and with ERO's limited technology, reverse engineering is impossible, only to gaze wistfully.

He could think of solutions like preparing a large number of dormancy pods, placing manufactured bodies inside, then continually releasing account names in small batches, even resurrection is the same, players logging in akin to Hell Diver, coming out from frozen meat pods.

Fortunately, these things aren't too expensive, with a unit costing only a few thousand bucks, Lin Miao can afford it, at worst add a zero at the end and sell it to players as Resurrection Coins.

"100 units…"

After thinking it through, Lin Miao said

"Still not enough, according to the planned expectations, the transformation inside Stone Ridge Mountain needs to accommodate at least over a thousand dormancy pods."

Gloria's expression showed some difficulty

"But the company's account funds are all invested now, and before the water market competition in Night City ends, it might be hard to allocate so much money, should we approach the Federal Bank of New America for a loan?"

"No."

Lin Miao shook his head

"They will definitely inquire this and that, military technology's attention on us is always very close, it wouldn't be good should anything be discovered."

After pondering, he said

"Do this, announce externally that ERO is planning expansion, restructuring into a large hospital, I'll help you secure investments, then use that as a gateway to order dormancy pods from more medical equipment companies, casting wide nets, while the laboratory needs to intensify the research on dormancy pods, disregarding patents and all, since we don't sell externally, self-use is no concern from them."

Regarding why a thousand units were ordered, yet only a hundred at the hospital.

This kind of matter is trivial, not worth questioning.

This is the art of accounting, everyone understands, don't pretend to be ignorant.

"By the way, you can also privately reach agreements with military technology, Kangtao, or other companies, offering to help them test non-addictive banned drugs or illegal experimental prosthetics, but charge them."

"Ah?"

Gloria was stunned, she thought she heard wrong.

Banned drugs, illegal prosthetics…

These do not align with Lin Miao's past demeanor, how could he engage in such things?

Eventually… must he succumb to peer pressure?

Lin Miao immediately saw where her mind was going, glaring at her and said

"What are you thinking? These things are for their use, not for others!"

"Understood?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Sometimes being too pristine becomes a fault, it's better to proactively dive into the muddy pool, appearing dirty to operate low-key.

Moreover, the power of banned prosthetics is vastly higher than the popular ones on the market, the tradeoff is extremely strong side effects, potentially even instantly fatal.

Yet...

Is this a concern for players?

Partnering companies wouldn't even need any complex means to obtain full prosthetic experimental data.

Lin Miao gains money

Players acquire unique equipment

Win-win-win! Win-win-win!
