It was this helicopter that directly took Johnny Silverhand and his terrorist friends from the concert site to the first-generation Arasaka Tower.
That night, many people died in Arasaka Tower.
After Johnny Silverhand jumped from the helicopter and landed on the platform at the top of Arasaka Tower, everyone who tried to stop him became the victim of his gun.
No one knows why Johnny Silverhand turned from a rock star to a terrorist. Everyone only knows that he detonated a suitcase nuclear bomb on the 32nd floor of Arasaka Tower that night.
It was this nuclear bomb that destroyed Arasaka International's headquarters on the Mizhou continent, setting the arms trust back 10 years overnight.
There were countless witnesses that night who could prove that Johnny Silverhand and his friends were the terrorists who attacked Arasaka Tower.
But no one knows what happened to this group of people.
It is said that some of them died in Arasaka Tower, but some of them escaped by chance, but it seems that Johnny Silverhand was not among them.
This attack hit Arasaka International hard, so they have always kept the incident a secret.
Even though 20 years have passed, the relevant information has not been decrypted.
Having said that, one thing is very certain.
The rock star who was once a role model in the military and later made countless people crazy disappeared completely after that night.
No one has seen him again, and no one has heard anything about him.
Twenty years is enough time to erase a lot of things, so Johnny Silverhand has long been no longer talked about.
However, just when most people had forgotten about him, he appeared in front of the peacock in this way tonight.
"Johnny Silverhand, have you invaded Delamain's system? You haven't said yet, why did you save me just now?"
Seeing this legendary figure suddenly conjuring up a cigarette and then slowly lighting it up, Peacock couldn't help but press him again.
Peacock once heard from Wei that Delamain's network was doing quite well.
Even Wei was not confident that he could hack into the computer system of this high-end taxi company.
Vidu was unable to hack into Dramain's network, but Johnny Silverhand, a terrorist who had disappeared for 20 years, did.
At this moment, Johnny was very free, because he had complete control of the car, and this meant that Peacock's life was in his hands.
"Don't you know why I'm here?
The reason why I am what I am now is all thanks to you."
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you think I'm hiding in a safe corner now, remotely controlling this car computer to talk to you?"
"Is it not?"
"Of course not. Because of you, I am this car now, and this car is me."
"What do you mean? I don't understand it even more."
"Of course you won't understand. If you tell anyone about this, they will be confused.
At the beginning, I was more dizzy than you."
"Johnny Silverhand, what do you want to say? Can you say something I can understand?"
"No problem, but then we have to start from 20 years ago.
Since you have heard of me, you should know what I have done."
"Yes, you blew up the first Arasaka Tower with a nuclear bomb."
"I have to take over. It's the happiest thing I've ever done in my life."
"Can I ask why you did that?"
"Yes! There is nothing that can't be said.
That old bastard Saburo Arasaka killed my woman, and I couldn't get angry, so I made a nuclear bomb and gave him a taste of it."
Listening to Johnny Silverhand's understatement, Peacock really wanted to raise his thumbs up and say to this buddy: "You are such a man!"
Ignoring Peacock's shocked eyes, the most powerful terrorist in history continued to speak.
"Although I detonated the nuclear bomb that day, I still had regrets.
When the nuclear bomb exploded, Saburo Arasaka, whom I most wanted to kill, had already escaped.
I was also attacked during the retreat and captured alive by Arasaka's company dogs."
When he said this, Johnny Silverhand blew smoke rings from his mouth and showed a wry smile.
"You also know the person who attacked me. His name is Adam Hammer.
Yes! It's the mercenary king who was shot down by you two days ago.
Just for this matter alone, you are worthy of me saving you once today.
But don't be too happy, you just injured Adam Hammer, he was not killed so easily.
That man was a monster 20 years ago: many parts of his body were deeply modified.
Now that 20 years have passed, Adam Hammer's body transformation rate must be higher than before, and he is more difficult to deal with than before.
You hit Adam Hammer hard in the face last time, so you must be on his must-kill list now.
I suggest that if you meet him next time, you'd better run away faster, otherwise you will die miserably."
"You said they caught you, but what happened next?
Where have you been all these years? Why do you look like you haven’t aged at all?”
Peacock was extremely excited to be able to talk to a true legend like Johnny Silverhand.
At this moment, he was protected by Delamain and there were no pursuers behind him, so he was very interested in knowing more.
Peacock did not find out Johnny Silverhand's exact birthday, but based on the legend's experience, he should have been 30 years old when he became a rock star.
It has been exactly 20 years since Johnny Silverhand nuked Arasaka Tower.
Based on this calculation, Johnny Silverhand should be at least 50 years old.
Adam Hammer and Mighty Silverhand were from the same era, so that monster must be at least 50 years old.
50 years old is not considered young in the apocalyptic era. The average life span of wanderers in the Badlands is less than 40, and only large human settlements have older people.
The Johnny Silverhand that Peacock sees now has a stubble on his face and looks very old, but he definitely doesn't look like a 50-year-old man.
As for the mercenary king who can blast a small truck with one hand and easily run 80 yards, he does not look like a middle-aged and elderly man with exhausted physical strength.
"If I was caught by Saburo Arasaka, there would be no good results.
Of course I am dead, but not completely dead.
That bastard Saburo Arasaka said that it would be too cheap to kill me directly, so he conducted an experiment on me.
He used a biochip called Relic to extract my personality signature, and then imprisoned me in a data tomb called Mikoshi."
"Sorry, I didn't understand. What is a personality code? What is that relic biochip?"
When Johnny Silverhand mentioned biochips, Peacock's heart suddenly trembled.
Somehow, he immediately thought of the biochip that the trio had snatched from the Kanbi Building a few days ago.
At this moment, Peacock seemed to have figured out something, but the connection between these things was still vague, so he rushed to Johnny Silverhand for confirmation.
"The Relic biochip is a masterpiece of Arasaka International. As long as it is used with special software, it can copy someone's thoughts and then seal them in the biochip.
If you still don’t understand, let me explain it to you like this:
This thing can capture the soul of a living person and then imprison the soul on a small silicon crystal plate.
The experiment 20 years ago was very successful, so I became the first person in the world to enjoy this technology.
So you see now, for the past 20 years, I have been a prisoner.
Saburo Arasaka imprisoned my soul in a special data server, where I will never die, but I can't be considered alive either.
In that damn mikoshi, I live in a loop of the past every moment.
Over and over again, never stopping.”
"This sounds really scary..."
"Yes, so Saburo Arasaka is very proud.
He said, I can never wait until the day I sit in prison.
If it weren't for you and your friends, his words might actually come true. But who made me lucky enough to meet you?
Almost two months ago, Arasaka Saburo's son stole me from the laboratory, and then he put me in a safe in the Kanbi Building."
"Ah! You mean, you are the biochip?"
"This statement is not accurate. To be precise, when your friend sneaked into the Kanbi Building, I was locked in that chip, and I was still in a dormant state at the time.
Peacock, I have to thank you, Jack, Wei, tbug, and of course you.
After the cryogenic safe was broken, your friends inserted that thing into their own brains in order to save the relic chip.
This was exactly what I needed to be awakened, so I regained consciousness at that time."
"So you took advantage of me plugging into Delamain's on-board computer to invade and control their system?
But that’s not right! T-bug said that only the brains of living creatures can exchange data with this kind of relic biochip.”
"Your hacker friend is right, the relic chip can indeed only interact with the brain of living things.
So when you went to the doctor in a panic and plugged me into Dramain's computer, you weren't actually doing anything to keep me alive.
As long as the activity of the biochip drops to a certain level, the data recording my personality will be destroyed, and then I will really be wiped out.
According to the situation at that time, I can only hold on for another 5 minutes at most, which is not enough time for you to rush to the motel."
"So, how did you survive it?"
"I'm lucky because I met Delamain."
"Johnny Silverhand, you've got me confused."
"Peacock, have you ever heard of the hypothesis that intelligent AI will produce true intelligence?"
"This is impossible! No matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it is only information feedback and logical operations. It is impossible to compare with the human brain.
Therefore, intelligent AI will not have true feelings, nor will it have original thinking. Without these, intelligent AI will never be considered to have true intelligence."
“Seeing is believing, hearing is believing.
I don’t know what’s going on with other strong artificial intelligences, but I found that Delamain’s intelligent AI has actually produced real intelligence.
Although it's still in its infancy, it's already compatible with my feature code."
"So you control it?"
"Yes! In order to survive, I have to become one with this intelligent AI that has just developed some intelligence."
"So when I handed over the relic chip, you were no longer in it?"
"At that time, that thing was already a waste, and all my data was transferred to Delamain's network. So now I am it, and it is me."
"Oh my god! So you are the first mechanical life form in human history?"
"I am not a mechanical being, I am definitely still a human being, I just changed my body now.
Since the advent of cyber technology, humans have been keen on operating themselves under the knife.
For mercenaries like Adam Hammer who serve large companies, their body modification ratio is at least 30%.
Of course, now that he is competing with me, he will definitely lose to me. I am now 100%.
Back then, Saburo Arasaka boasted in front of me that once his relic chip technology matured, humans would be able to achieve true immortality.
If someone has a problem with his body, he can use a relic chip to transfer his consciousness to another body.
In this way, human beings can be resurrected indefinitely, and there will no longer be confusion about birth, old age, illness, and death."
"This sounds really evil. Did Saburo Arasaka say what will happen to the original owner of the body once the consciousness of the latecomer enters?"
"Two groups of data compete for control of an operating system. In the end, of course, the winner gets the body, and the loser is wiped out.
In such a battle, relic chips will play a great help.
That's why the old bastard said that in 95% of cases, it is the latecomers who come first, and the original consciousness in the body cannot block such an attack at all.
The reason why I was able to easily defeat Draman is that on the one hand, its intelligence has just been opened and its strength is still very weak, and on the other hand, it is because of the help of the chip's intrusion program."
