Chapter 42: A New Round of Research

The cyber laborers were gone in droves, and Li Ji looked at their backs.

"I'm sorry, guys, but right now, Starfire can't appear in front of your eyes."

"Xiaosha, package the project of the 'factory', cooperate with the three fingers, and transform the underground space here into our own R&D workshop."

For the huge building complex underground, Li Ji has his own plans.

Since it is possible to build a production base of this scale under the noses of major companies in Night City, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a second one nearby.

Digesting the resources in the shortest possible time, and at the same time transforming them into Spark's private territory, is the most important thing.

Now that there is such a logistics base, the previous plan to grab territory with the Voodoo gang can also be slowed down a little.

"Leah, can you help procure some resources in Night City? Three fingers, make room for me as soon as possible. ”

Leah was a little surprised to receive the list from Li Ji.

"Contaminated agricultural seeds? There are also some live animals, and some equipment for genetic biology experiments, what do you want? ”

"The old man is bad, but he is not wrong about one thing, people need food."

Li Ji turned around, looked at the factory that had become a ruin, and those busy Spark members, and after thinking about it, he commanded:

"Xiaosha, open the control authority, link the port to the control terminal of the Spark members, and control five people per person...... No, ten robots, remove their weapons and let them come and work together. ”

"At the same time, put two hundred guards around the factory, prepare weapons, and link them to the camera port, if there are any unknown people around, then, it depends."

"Xiaosha received, and now a total of 550 robots are activated."

At the same time, the Spark members present received Xiaosha's link application at the same time, and put down their work in confusion.

Li Ji's voice came out on the public channel:

"This is intra-area communication, due to the existence of signal shielding devices, Xiaosha can only temporarily modify the shielding band, but it can only be used within the coverage area, similar to a small local area network."

"What I send to you are some of the robots I found here, although the models are a little old, but they can still be used for coolies, each person has a quota of ten, and the specific work is deployed by Three Fingers."

The members of Starfire were stunned for a moment, then erupted in cheers of joy.

"Ji Boss is a big cow!"

"It turns out that there is still this kind of good Dingxi here!"

……

After a simple inventory, Li Ji roughly swept the harvest.

Although most of the machines have been destroyed in the bombing, Li Ji has no idea of restarting the assembly line before researching new synthetic ingredients, and there is no loss.

In addition to this, vehicles of various models and performances, as well as public funds in the factory, are the biggest gains in addition to the underground base.

And using the remaining robots in the underground base, some of the projects that Li Ji had prepared to plan, but could not be carried out due to lack of manpower, have also been solved.

But in this way, Xiaosha's computing power that has just skyrocketed several times seems a little stretched.

"Computing power, computing power, I didn't expect it to be such a thing in the end."

Li Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't immediately devote himself to the research of quantum computing clouds, because there were more important things to do at the moment.

"Is that all?"

Li Ji looked at the things that Leah had purchased and asked with some frowns.

"Yes, the scientific research equipment is fine, there are a lot of products that have been eliminated from biotechnology in the black market, and even the latest models are sold."

"But the seeds and animals you mentioned aren't something you can find casually."

Three pigs, two cows, and a strangely shaped chicken, plus some plant seeds that looked like they had gone bad.

That's what Leah brought out in Night City.

"Farmers are like sons to their animals, eager to raise prices to the sky, and according to them, the incidence of animals is increasing year after year, and even scientists have nothing to do."

"Coupled with the deformities that died when I was born, I was very lucky to be able to buy these."

Leah explained helplessly.

As for the state of those seeds, Li Ji said that he understood, just look at the desert outside.

On the continents now, almost all outside the city are covered with yellow sand, and Night City is not bad, at least you can meet a few plants sporadically.

Although it's all wilted, it's all wilted.

Sighing, Li Ji could only say:

"Help me find some plants alive from the side of the road, and I'll study them first."

With that, Li Ji led a few animals and walked into the laboratory newly prepared by Sanzhi.

……

Night City, Company Square, in the shadow of the Knight Building.

The two Spark members were waiting here boringly for the connector.

"Brother Jaime, isn't this night a big company? Why is it so slow? We've been waiting here for a day, right? Boss, they have finished fighting, and there is not even a shadow of the customer here. ”

Little Shady sat bored in the pickup van and whined, and a middle-aged man with a stubble in the driver's seat was squinting and smoking.

"Little ghost, be patient, in Night City, impatient people don't live long, you see, isn't someone coming? Let's go down and see, maybe the customer. ”

Jaime snuffed out his cigarette and beckoned Shady to get out of the car, where he was greeted by three men dressed in the uniforms of the Night Company, and a medium-sized van parked in the distance.

"James, Shady, what kind of prosthetic gang are you? Coming to pick up the goods? ”

"If so, sir, may we go?" My family was partying at this time, and I was a little anxious to go back to dinner! ”

Jaime stepped forward, took out a tin box from his arms, took out a few cigarettes in it, and raised his hand at the Night Clan staff in front of him.

"Root?"

"Jaime, a former military tech mercenary who was later removed from the list for assaulting his superiors, I know exactly what kind of old fritter you are. But now, your mission is to drive that car, deliver the contents to the Dance of Death Bar, and then do whatever you want, is there a problem? ”

And, damn company dogs, as soon as these people meet, if they don't turn out the eighteen generations of your ancestors, they all seem to be not good enough.

"Okay, okay, but you guys seem to be driving over? Do we need to carry the goods to our own car? ”

"No, drive our car, who knows if your car will carry dangerous goods, what if you destroy the goods on the way?"

"And what about our own car?"

"The company can help drive it back to your kennel."

Is this man deliberately finding fault? I seem to have offended the Night's Clan, huh?

Jaime frowned, feeling that these men were all talking with guns and sticks.

"Forget it, let's come back by ourselves after completing the mission, I believe in the security here."

After Jaime finished speaking, he nodded at the silent Shadinu, and then the two of them entered the medium-sized van prepared by the Night's employees.
