Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Praying Mantis and the Cicada

There was nothing to say all night, and when Li Ji woke up again, it was already three poles in the morning.

The route given by Rogge before was roughly the same as what Xiaosha had found, so he didn't have to bother to rearrange anything.

The agents of military technology can be said to be old rivals, and the virtue of the supervisor last time is still circulating among the bottom of Night City.

This is also one of the proofs that the concept of Spark is spreading.

Since the events in Java, things have become unpredictable in the world.

There is an attack here today, an explosion there tomorrow.

The two major media in Night City have started a war of words with each other.

The contradiction between Arasaka and military technology is increasing day by day under such circumstances, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will turn into a real conflict.

It was in this context that Military Technology chose to evacuate a large number of its own men from Night City.

What kind of strategic intent is contained in this, Li Ji is not known for the time being.

But Li Ji knew that if he wanted to carry out a space-based program, he had to get the quantum materials in the fleet.

In this way, we can break through the monopoly of the technology giants on the Internet.

Not far away, in the square, the training for the recruits has begun.

These people are the gang gangsters who used to mine for Li Ji in the underground mines.

After passing a series of test questions, he specially joined the peripheral organization of Xinghuo, that is, the Prosthetic Gang.

The training with Mewtwo has been quite effective, and nearly 100 people have passed the assessment in just a few days.

I believe that it won't be long before the number of people in the Prosthetic Gang will make a strong leap.

After all, there are thousands of people mining underground.

Li Ji glanced at them twice, then didn't pay any more attention to them, and turned around and entered the underground area.

After passing through the long underground passage, Li Ji saw two rows of mechanical warriors loyally guarding the door of the laboratory.

This is the base of biological experiments.

It is impossible to compete with large companies by relying solely on organic growth.

After all, they have already infiltrated all aspects of society, and more than half of them are alive under the system planned by the company.

So we had to find another way.

Entering the laboratory, there are two long rows of biological devices, and you can see the green glow of the culture medium inside.

Inside it is a variety of organs, covering almost everything the human body needs.

"Xiaosha, how is the experiment going?"

"After collecting more than 3,000 blood samples, optimized for different gene sequences, at the current pace, cloned three times as many organisms as adults."

In the center of the laboratory, there is a large display screen that displays the calculated human body data.

"In terms of body size, there is not much difference, and they are all close to two meters tall."

However, after the initial optimization, is it only about three times the average?

It doesn't seem like enough.

"Is it already a limit value?"

"Without changing the current physiological structure of human beings, the limit data calculated by simulation is 4.5 times that of ordinary people, including comprehensive data such as physical strength, endurance, agility, etc., and the life span is expected to exceed 200 years."

"What about time?"

"From the beginning of cultivation to full growth, it is estimated that it will take three months in a special nutrition chamber, but if you add training, the time is unknown."

Three months, it has exceeded Li Ji's expectations a lot, originally he thought that he really had to wait until the clones grew up for more than ten years.

"If it's knowledge, can it be implanted directly at an early age?"

"Simulating, please wait."

"The simulation is complete, and the scheme is feasible."

In this case, you will be able to get an army of clones directly after three months.

And by that time, Cybertron's planned Warframe should have been completed.

An army of Iron Man, and they are wearing the level of anti-Hulk, is the company confused?

It's just that it's not too early to be complacent, the current Xinghuo does not have anti-missile capabilities, in case the target is exposed in advance, as long as one round of firepower is covered, I am afraid that Li Ji's hard work will be in vain.

"Therefore, the space-based plan must be completed as soon as possible, and as long as there is a large amount of computing power, the anti-missile system can be put on the agenda."

With these thoughts, Li Ji returned to the ground.

It was still a little far from the target location, and he planned to strike at the edge of the badlands where military technology had passed.

It's a sparsely populated area, and no matter how loud it is, it's not afraid of alarming Night City.

This time, Li Ji plans to bring several newly developed beehive rocket launchers with him, and try to go as few people as possible.

On the one hand, most of the members of Starfire have a mercenary vest in Night City, and may also have a mission.

On the other hand, Li Ji didn't want to watch them, being injured in the melee, or dying in the melee.

After all, the firepower is enough, and there is no need to charge with flesh and blood.

After this period of development, the previous underground world has been completely turned into an arsenal, and a large amount of equipment is produced from the assembly line every day.

The scale of mechanical soldiers is also close to two thousand, which is still the premise that Li Ji has slowed down the manufacturing speed.

More resources were turned into mobile silos and deep-space rockets that could send objects weighing about 3,000 tons into space.

With such profligacy, no matter how rich the steel of the underground world is, it is gradually about to see the ground.

Before the miners gradually run out of ore to mine, Li Ji still needs to find new resources.

"It's a lot of things!"

Li Ji sighed silently and looked at the mechanical soldiers who were gradually gathering.

A total of a thousand steel warriors, black pressed in front of Li Ji, at first glance, almost impossible to see.

Only when you really face this mechanical monster that is several meters tall can you feel the fragility of your flesh in front of steel.

"Let's go!"

The soldiers lined up to enter the underground tracks, which were temporarily dug and undergrounded to the Badlands.

One heavy truck after another drove into the tunnel, and all the long-range firepower prepared by Li Ji was placed on it.

Among them, of course, also includes Li Ji's Cybertron No. 1.

Towards evening, Li Ji successfully arrived at the target location with his 1,000 mechanical soldiers.

A kilometer away from the target, Li Ji ordered the soldiers to lie in ambush, and he was going to bring some people over to see the situation first.

The military technology obviously set off very late, and before it was dark, it was already ready to set up camp.

"They're just not going to fly supplies, are they?"

After complaining in a low voice, Li Ji looked at the camp.

It is very conventional and standard, and it is a lot higher than the last fleet specification.

Even Li Ji found more than a dozen battle armors in several containers.

"Looks like the firepower is enough."

Just as Li Ji was about to return, an accident made him stop.

On the opposite hillside, there seemed to be a lot of people in ambush.

Fortunately, Li Ji's position was relatively hidden, and the other party didn't seem to notice him.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in a container in the camp below.

And the people in ambush on the opposite side, in Li Ji's stunned, rushed towards the camp in a swarm.

"This is, Arasaka and military technology have done it?"
