With a heavy heart, Kalimantan came to an underground hall after a long downward corridor.

The light in the hall was bright, as if it were day, which made him squint his eyes after experiencing the darkness.

"That's a lot of people!"

Nearly the size of two football fields, the underground space is illuminated by hidden light sources in every corner, with a half-meter-high, about the size of a house in the center, with a large torch-shaped flag hanging from it, and a display next to it.

At this time, a large number of people had gathered in the underground square, and Kalimantan roughly counted the past, and found that there were no less than four or five hundred people here, and there were still people walking out of the surrounding corridors.

The underground passages he walked out of just now, there are more than a dozen of them, and they belong to different directions.

Everyone in the audience was like him, wearing wide robes, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Do you come here every day? This is the headquarters of the Liaoyuan Warband? ”

Kalimantan was surprised by the scale and concealment of this underground structure, and couldn't help but ask the ancient spirit in a low voice.

"How can it be that every day, it's the first time I've met so many people like today, and I've only been here for less than two weeks, and today's party notice was sent a few days ago."

As time passed, no one came in at the entrance again.

"Ahem, the people should have arrived."

Under the gaze of Gu Ling and Kalimantan, a figure also wearing a robe stepped onto the high platform.

"Then, the plenary meeting of the second Liaoyuan Wargroup under the Spark Alliance will start now!"

In the astonished eyes of everyone at the scene, a strange-looking circular device fell from the ceiling, and it shimmered.

As the object fell in mid-air, a slightly illusory figure appeared in front of everyone in the form of a holographic projection.

"Hello everyone, I am the head of the Spark Alliance, and you are welcome to join the Liaoyuan Warband."

…………

The meeting was over, Li Ji reached out and turned off the projection device, and then collapsed on the chair behind him.

"It's really not a human job, I thought it would be easy when I watched the speech on TV before."

In the past month, due to the black history about the City Lord's Mansion that Li Ji posted on the Internet before, the chain reaction has begun to bear fruit.

The most immediate consequence is that thousands of residents gather at the gate of the city lord's mansion every day, waving banners in protest.

In the content disclosed by Li Ji, all kinds of secret transactions, conspiracy assassinations, covert manipulation of resource prices, and support gang forces......

The numerous charges directly put the current city lord on the cusp of public opinion.

Not to mention the other city officials who colluded with it......

In short, now the attitude towards the authorities has reached a certain critical point.

For this reason, members of the NCPD and the Terrorist Agitation Unit have to patrol back and forth in various important locations every day.

It was also during this time that Li Ji was able to infiltrate his forces directly into Night City, and secretly formed the Liaoyuan Wargroup among the low-level residents.

The underground bases they saw in Kalimantan were three in Night City at this time.

Of course, the reason why the concept of Spark can be promoted so quickly among the people is not only the recent turmoil in Night City, but also the nearly unlimited computing power support of the space-based computing system.

Everyone in this day and age has nerve sockets implanted in their bodies as infants.

The official explanation is to create an electronic identity for each citizen and reduce the consumption of resources.

However, the truth of the matter is that large companies have used their technology and resources to sign agreements with governments to directly buy out the rights to make and maintain neural chips.

From the beginning of each person's birth, all the preferences, movement trajectory, family members, social relations, company and a series of other information will be collected by the neural chip and uploaded to a central database guarded by various governments.

Theoretically, this information would remain sealed unless it violates the laws of each country.

However......

In the name of regular maintenance of the system, the company retrieves all information from the database every three months to check for system vulnerabilities.

In fact, they are using this huge amount of data to accurately collect all the personal information they want.

Whether it's personalized advertising pitches for each individual or high-level whereabouts data from top executives in various countries, companies can even bypass law enforcement agencies and remotely locate any citizen.

If this person also has a sensory prosthetic attached to them, such as the prosthetic eye of Shiroji, they can also connect directly and remotely without being noticed, and see any image that citizens see.

Generally speaking, this kind of messaging can only be blocked by advanced hackers, and of course, in most cases, companies don't do this, and at most use personal information to send small ads.

But this positioning is fatal to Li Ji and Xinghuo.

He can't rely on the company's carelessness for everyone's safety.

Therefore, using the space-based system, Li Ji cooperated with Xiaosha during this period of time and successfully developed two systems.

One is the alliance identity number that can be covered over a large area, which can directly shield the central chip in the neural socket from transmitting information to the outside.

The prototype of this technology is the chip that was originally installed on Leah's body, which is the federal number that Gu Ling obtained before.

The second is to rely on powerful computing power to reverse the invasion of central data technology.

With this technology, any member who has been given a federal number will be shown to follow the original trajectory of their life in the uploaded citizen information.

It even modifies all the data in their network!

Such a huge amount of computation seemed impossible in the past, but with the support of space-based systems, it can be done.

The lost computing power is just a drop in the ocean.

"Xiaosha, how has the control of important data nodes in Night City been completed during this time?"

"It's 30% complete, but the rest of the goals are physically isolated, and progress will be a little slower."

"There's no rush, it's a long-term job."

Li Ji slowly got up and walked to the workbench on the other side.

For nearly a month, Li Ji conducted in-depth research on the remaining quantum materials from before, and after discovering the secret between the soul and quantum information, he came up with a bold idea.

Li Ji stretched out his hands, and the test bench, which weighed about a ton, flew up and down in front of him.

This wonderful source of energy is the subconscious sea in his body, which has begun to bear fruit under this period of targeted training.

But Li Ji thought of much more than that.

"If the soul is the projection of humanity in the quantum world, and the quantum world is hidden in Gaia's consciousness, then ......"

"If you can directly communicate with Gaia's consciousness and collect enough quantum information fields in it, can you directly shape the soul?"

With an eager gaze, Li Ji looked at the clone prototype that was in the petri dish.
