Chapter 164: Armstrong's Traces
"Damn it, even though I've seen it more than once, I still can't understand it no matter how many times I see it." Lying on the black clinic chair of the cyborg doctor, Will Cannon pulled off the Super Dream Device on his face and said with a complicated look in his eyes:
"What the hell is that guy's prosthetic? It's powerful, but why is he not hurt at all after being bombarded by missiles?"

"Yeah, it's hard for me to understand either."

Compared to Will Cannon, who was concentrating on studying the many abilities of the strong arm, the doctor beside him seemed much more relaxed. He did not dwell too much on this matter, but picked up a severed limb and said:
"This is the severed limb of a security expert from Trauma Team International. A piece of the thermal mantis knife in his hand is still preserved. But if you look closely, the edge of the blade is completely scrapped."

The doctor spit the cigarette butt into the cup beside him and said, "No matter it is slashing, shooting, or bombardment, it has no effect... Well, this should not be a traditional defensive prosthesis, but something like kinetic energy absorption. But the problem also arises here. Depending on the different forms of weapons and the forms of being hit, the impact strength that the defensive prosthesis can withstand is also different. Especially for gunshots."

Looking at Will standing beside him, the doctor said in amazement, "Do you remember the sniper who was killed by a car? The sniper rifle in his hand should be a modified ice storm. You know the destructive power of hail in a kinetic sniper rifle. Especially after adding those kinetic energy enhancement devices, let alone a person, even a tank can be penetrated directly."

"Just that armor-piercing bullet, the shell alone was as thick as my arm. But what was the result? It just went dark for a moment, and then it was over. And nanotechnology, just hearing about it makes me imagine a lot. I would rather he told me that it was the power of magic, at least it would be easier to understand that way."

After hearing the doctor's sighs and complaints, Huopao nodded.

He has seen Armstrong's power. If he had been somewhat disdainful of Armstrong's words and thoughts before, thinking that they were just the nonsense of a cyber madman, then now, after experiencing this incident, no matter how much Armstrong tells himself that it's nothing, he has to think carefully about how to face Armstrong in the future...

Fortunately, I still wanted him to be my subordinate. Now that I think about it, I am really lucky to be able to survive...

Huo Pao thought to himself but didn't show it on the surface. He just looked at the doctor and said, "No matter what, you've made a lot of money this time. Just these bodies you picked up can be sold for tens of thousands of euros, right?"

Because the battle made quite a lot of noise, and after Ron arrived and sent people to clean up the invading drones, many people subconsciously thought that Armstrong prohibited everyone from setting foot in his "territory", so they quietly stayed away.

Especially the big companies, if the cannon is right, those companies should be holding meetings about Armstrong. The concept shown by Armstrong is secondary, what makes them feel solemn is the nanotechnology of Armstrong.

The cyberpunk world also has nanotechnology. But they have never heard of nanotechnology being so powerful - strength, speed, defense, endurance, endurance...

There are almost no blind spots.

That is to say, they have not yet determined which company Armstrong is the spokesperson for - just like Adam Hammer under the Arasaka Group. Otherwise, they have already started to contact and try to cooperate.

Once such technology is put on the market, the impact on the entire military-industrial complex will be beyond imagination.

Big companies have their concerns, but artillery and doctors don't have that many. They thought they had met Armstrong once, so they didn't dare to get close to the core area, which was near the apartment building where David's family lived in Santo Dogo. But they still took the initiative to help clean up the battlefield.

While others were afraid to approach, they had already collected a large amount of residual materials from Trauma Team International. Among them, even the security director and publicity director of Trauma Team International were included. As the upper class of Night City, even if their prosthetics were damaged due to violent injuries, the remaining usable parts could be sold at a sky-high price on the black market. Isn't it said that people in Night City will find a way to play a cameo as a scavenger whenever they have the chance? Because the people of Night City really find ways to invest all their property in themselves.

Similar to artificial spines, nerve fiber bundles, subcutaneous tissue, eyeballs, internal organs... these prostheses have always been in high demand on the black market.

Not to mention, there are weapons like sniper rifles and rifles.

This kind of thing, even if it is damaged, can be reused by finding the corresponding accessories.

"It would be nice if that were the case."

After hearing what Huo Pao said, the doctor sighed, then pointed to the disassembled prosthesis beside him and said:

"While you were watching those battle videos, I was disassembling the prostheses. Although these prostheses appear intact, in fact the most important energy circuits inside have been severely damaged. How should I put it, it's as if the energy inside has been forcibly extracted."

"Although there seems to be no problem on the surface, the wear and tear of these prostheses is horrible, and their durability has been reduced to zero. Even if they can be used, they will overheat or even explode if they run for a little longer."

"Rather than calling it a prosthesis, it's more like an unstable time bomb." The doctor said helplessly, "We can only try our luck and see if there are fools who can't figure it out and try to sell it. As for the rest, let's see if we can take out the useful parts and try to put together a few complete ones."

"The energy system is destroyed? No wonder you look unhappy." Huo Pao nodded in a relaxed manner and said leisurely, "You scared me to death. I thought you were going to get rich and become a rich man! Now it seems that you are still my good brother!"

"You fucking..."

The doctor curled his lips in disgust, but didn't say anything.

At the side, there was silence for a moment, and Cannon seemed to have remembered something and wanted to ask something. But before Cannon could speak, an urgent communication came from his subordinates in his sight.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Artillery boss! It's bad! Armstrong, that guy named Armstrong is coming to our base!"
