Cyberpunk: 2075

"That's awesome—"

Standing in the car, holding open the door, Oliver looked down at the bad land and couldn't help but shout.

"Be careful of falling Oliver."

Although Jack was standing at the open door of the float car like Oliver, he didn't appear as excited as Oliver, or on the surface, he didn't appear as excited as Oliver.

He held the upper door frame of the float vehicle with one hand, leaned out halfway, and looked towards the ground more than sixty meters away from him: "This feeling of everything becoming smaller when looking down from a height is too great. That’s awesome.”

"That is to say, even if you look down from a tall building in the city, you won't feel this way!"

Oliver looked at Night City in the distance and waved: "Goodbye, Night City!"

"You all be careful. It's almost time to close the hatch and start accelerating."

Sitting in his seat, instead of looking down from the open car door like Oliver and Jack, Carl, who felt the stability of the aerial vehicle, focused his eyes on the artificial intelligence control panel inside the aerial vehicle.

The "Durandal" float car lent to him by Mr. Kenichi Shiro is a float car equipped with a turbofan vector engine. Because it is positioned as a comfortable luxury car, it is not as fast as those specially used for transportation. It is a streamlined military aerial vehicle carrying soldiers, similar to a low-altitude fighter, but its speed is not slow. When started at full speed, it can reach 400 miles per hour (about 643 kilometers, refer to the 2020 Mach aerial vehicle).

400 miles an hour, in Carl's day, was comparable to the speed of a small passenger plane.

"At this rate, how long will it take for us to see V?"

After watching for a few minutes, Jack sat down opposite Carl and asked the key question: "How far is the location where V last contacted us?"

"Look at the automatic route planning on the control panel. It's all there."

As Carl answered Jack, he took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator on the right side of the car. After taking a few glances, he realized that it was actually real orange juice.

As expected of Mr. Kenichi Shiro's car, real orange juice is a luxury just thinking about it.

Carl drank the sweet and sour orange juice and watched Jack's body leaning towards the control panel to look at it. Suddenly he remembered something and turned to Oliver who was still looking at the scenery and asked: "Speaking of Oliver, this float is It seems that the empty car can be switched to manual control. Do you want to try it?"

"Are you driving a floating car? You're not afraid that I'll crash it."

Having said that, Oliver was still interested in Karl's words. He sat back down, looked at Karl opposite and asked, "How do you control this thing?"

"Jack."

Carl called out and turned sideways in his seat, staring at Jack on the control panel: "You press the manual assist control on the screen and switch out that function for Oliver to experience."

"Want to connect?"

"You'll need it later, but Jack, just press it."

"OK."

Jack pressed the manual assist control on the control panel, and with a slight mechanical sound of moving, an oval-shaped pillar rose up in the middle of the seats on both sides, and on that pillar, there were several A bright entrance.

"Try?"

Under Karl's questioning gaze, Oliver pulled out the connecting cable from his wrist and connected it to the pillar.

Control has been transferred.

Amidst the mechanical sound in the car, Oliver's eyes lit up, emitting a faint blue light, and pieces of data flowed in his eyes.

"How does it feel?"

"Try it first."

As Oliver said this, he tried to control the car door to close, but with just a thought, the originally open car door began to close.

The interior lights turn on, and the crystal ball technology similar to The Sword in the Stone is placed in the window, showing the scenery outside.

"It feels quite amazing."

Oliver said: "It's like this float car has become an extension of my body. If I want it to turn right, I will turn right, and if I want it to go forward, I will go forward."

"Then try flying first?"

T-BUG's voice sounded. She did not follow the other three people in the team out of the city. She leaned on the Qiuqiu connection lying in the car and connected the voice: "If it works, let me try it with Qiuqiu connection later." ”

"It's rare, T-BUG, I thought you weren't interested in vehicles."

Jack straightened his sitting position and looked at Qiuqiu, who was standing upright from the ground.

"No, I just want to familiarize myself with the procedures of the floating car. Maybe I can use it in the future...

I have never tried hacking into a floating vehicle. "

T-BUG said this, controlled the ball, stretched out his paws and patted Oliver's legs: "Try Oliver to speed up and fly towards the destination."

"Trying now."

Oliver said, and the aerial vehicle slowly began to turn: "The strong hurricane has just passed through Night City and is not far away. Don't rush me. You don't want me to not find the right direction later. Speed ​​up and rush to find the strong hurricane. "

After saying this, Karl was about to say something when suddenly the float vehicle shook and the orange juice in his hand almost spilled out.

"Um?"

Before Karl could react, a strong inertia pressed his body against the seat.

"ah?!"

Jack's pupils suddenly dilated, but like Carl, he was pressed into his seat by inertia before he had time to say anything.

The vehicle did not move forward or backward. The moment Oliver started to accelerate, it was rising rapidly upward.

The height on the control panel was soaring.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, four hundred meters, eight hundred meters "Oliver, are you driving this thing like a helicopter? Ordinary helicopters don't rise so fast!"

"I've started it!"

Carl's questioning only got Oliver's response of suddenly getting excited for some reason, and then the upward trend suddenly stopped. Carl felt his body shake and almost jumped off the seat.

"Start to accelerate!"

With these words, Carl, who had just recovered from the ascent, noticed that the speed of the hovercraft suddenly increased, and his body was thrown to the side near the door due to inertia.

Looking at the rapidly changing and blurry scenery outside the window, Carl and Jack's faces were distorted.

Oops, they forgot that Oliver was a speeding maniac!

Normally, he would only express his road rage in the city due to the road restrictions. Now he has a wide open space for him to drive fast, and this constraint has been...:

"Damn Santo Domingo driver!"

Carl is now just glad that he prepared a parachute early to prevent accidents.
