The giant corporations that started in Night City

"Okay." Daijiro nodded in response.

Although there are strong weapons manufacturers such as LA, Kangtao, and Military Technology in front, it is unlikely that Arasaka will win a large order.

But Arasaka now has the latest self-developed technology and kinetic series pistols, so it is still very likely to win the top five awards.

Firearms such as the kinetic pistol [Yuxiang], the kinetic assault rifle [HJSH-18 Zhengzong], the kinetic submachine gun [Shigure], and the technical pistol [JKE-X2 Kenshin] are new weapons products under Arasaka!

However, even if Arasaka really can't get a large arms order, it doesn't matter, after all, Arasaka is now transforming its investment in AI.

Once their Soul Guardian plan is successful, Arasaka will be the only super giant company on this planet that truly controls the life and death of mankind!

For the powerful people standing at the top level, nothing is more obsessed and crazy than "eternal life".

Saburo Arasaka believes that human desires will eventually overcome fragile moral bottom lines and dispensable religious beliefs!

Therefore, he decided to bet the future of Arasaka on "human nature". Once the bet is right, Arasaka will be the real dictator of this planet.

Soon, the internal Arasaka board meeting concerning the company's successor ended smoothly under the leadership of Arasaka Hanako, and the restless company elders temporarily calmed down.

When all Arasaka executives left, Arasaka Hanako also followed the route in her memory and quietly came to a secret room hidden under the company's headquarters.

In this secret room, Arasaka's Mikoshi server is placed. In order to ensure that the company's data is not destroyed, Arasaka has established secret spaces with Mikoshi servers all over the world.

Like Night City, European Branch, Tokyo, Japan, and even the Crystal Palace of the Outer Space Orbital City, there are also Arasaka Mikoshi servers!

And the Arasaka Mikoshi server at the Tokyo headquarters is the most critical one among them. The data stored here is very critical!

Immediately, Arasaka Hanako came to a huge electronic terminal device. After the computer device recognized Hanako's face, it was automatically activated and a humanoid holographic projection of Arasaka Saburo emerged.

[Hanako, it seems that you have already done the job. ]

AI Arasaka Saburo looks just like he did in his lifetime, and even his tone and words are highly similar to those of a real person!

Long before Arasaka Saburo left Tokyo and went to Night City, he had already used the improved Relic chip technology to imprint his personality consciousness in the Mikoshi server.

This is equivalent to copying one's "soul" and storing it in the terminal device.

Although Arasaka Saburo's physical body is dead, his personal traces in this world have not completely dissipated!

"Yes, father, I have arranged everything you want me to do."

Arasaka Hanako nodded slightly. Even in the face of this AI data body that is not a real person at all, she still maintains respect.

[Hanako, you did a good job. 】

The same voice as Saburo Arasaka came from the terminal device, as if Saburo himself lived inside.

But in fact, Saburo Arasaka in the Mikoshi server is not a real human soul, but a consciousness constructed by AI.

It is more appropriate to say that it is AI Saburo Arasaka.

In the Mikoshi server, AI Saburo Arasaka has a very high authority. He can freely obtain all the company information he wants as a data stream.

As an AI consciousness, he can get information a thousand times faster than before, or even ten thousand times faster!

With the nourishment of these data and information, AI Saburo will become smarter and smarter, but the downside is that he will become inhuman. If he does not return to the human body as soon as possible, he will slowly lose human emotions and become an absolutely rational AI.

In Arasaka's Mikoshi server, only AI Saburo Arasaka has such authority. Other consciousness bodies sealed by the Relic chip are just unchanging data strings.

【Continue to act according to the plan. Be careful not to hurt Lai Xuan's body. 】AI Saburo Arasaka reminded again and again.

"Yes, father."

As soon as the voice fell, the holographic projection released by the terminal device disappeared, and the huge electronic screen turned gray, reflecting only the thin cheeks of Arasaka Huazi.

Although she had to follow her father's instructions to kill her own brother Lai Xuan, Huazi thought that this price was nothing compared to the wonderful taste of controlling power.

In her opinion, the power to control the fate of others is the only thing worth pursuing in her life.

…

…

Night City, Little Chinatown, Victor Prosthetic Clinic.

"Oh my God! His neural activity is soaring rapidly, and even the frontal lobe is about to fly out of his ears!"

Ott Cunningham stared at the information displayed on the computer screen. The unconscious V was a hundred times worse than she imagined.

"There's nothing we can do. V is about to go into neurological shock. There should be an auxiliary nerve socket in his lymph nodes, and the specific location is probably under the SCM muscle. You are responsible for this."

Even though Victor was already sweating profusely due to anxiety, he still used the surgical instruments in an orderly manner, trying his best to pull V back from the hands of death.

"Now I have to pierce his occipital bone. You guys hold it up and don't shake your hands, otherwise V will be useless!"

Under Victor's command, the members of Mann's team gathered around the operating table and carefully dragged various parts of V's body.

Victor kept using various equipment to perform brain surgery. After a long time, he finally removed the bullet that almost took his life from V's brain.

Outside the prosthetic clinic, Leon and Goro Takemura were looking at each other, patiently waiting for the results of the surgery inside.

Originally, Otto planned to send V to the medical center of LA Company, but the medical center was basically full of patients at this time.

Especially in the intensive care unit, it was full, and the beds were in short supply.

V was sent to Victor as a last resort.

In the medical center in Little Chinatown, Adam Hammer, who only had a heart and 75% of his brain left, was now soaking in nutrient solution waiting for a new prosthetic implant.

Jack Wells, who had just escaped death, was still in a coma, but it would not be long before Jack woke up.

"Mr. Takemura, thank you for dragging V out of the abandoned garbage dump and saving his life. Otherwise, two souls would have died in this body."

"Johnny Silverhand, and V!"

Leon, who had not slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Goro Takemura, who was also exhausted and panting, he had to wonder if all this was arranged by fate.
