Luoqi connected Marvin to the terminal and uploaded the basic combat training program.
These programs originated from the system's expansion and were not expensive, and there was a vast variety of programs.
There were all kinds of programs, including combat, technical, and lifestyle.
Calling it training, it was actually more like a software system upgrade package.
Once the program finished running, the robot would possess the skills within the program.
Basic combat training, basic boxing training, basic pilot training, and so on...
These were all courses Luoqi had carefully prepared for Marvin.
As the program started, the originally active Marvin became quiet.
And Luoqi also began his next plan.
Marvin, this first-generation unit, was just an attempt by Luoqi; a robot army was the ultimate goal.
...
Power Excitement Agent factory.
At this time, several buildings around the factory were emitting the noise of construction facilities.
The massive construction team from the Night Group was constantly working.
A huge wall was being built, surrounding several buildings, including the Power Excitement Agent factory.
As early as when Luoqi planned to produce the mechanical army, he had already started preparing to expand Ascension Technology's factory.
Using the initial Power Excitement Agent factory as the base, other factory buildings in the surrounding area were all bought by Ascension Technology.
And this area is about to be built into Ascension Technology Industrial Park.
To mass-produce Marvin Robots, the equipment in the laboratory alone is naturally not enough.
In addition to the robots themselves, the demand for the equipment and weapons they carry is also extremely large.
The production efficiency of the laboratory alone is far from sufficient; factory mass production is a necessary step.
Ascension Technology's factory is located in Chengbei Industrial Zone.
Although it is not the city center, the current Ascension Technology is considered a star enterprise in Night City, and there are naturally many people interested in it.
Such a large-scale expansion could not escape the attention of those companies.
...
Arasaka Tower 33rd floor.
V was looking at a report at his desk.
Since passing Jenkins' test and being heavily cultivated by Jenkins, V has clearly shown a trend of becoming the second-in-command of the Counterintelligence Department.
And the Advanced Soldier Serum incident solidified this fact.
Arasaka acquiring Ascension Technology's Advanced Soldier Serum was largely due to V's contribution as the person in charge.
Jenkins cultivating V as his confidant also used this incident to increase V's influence in the Counterintelligence Department.
Today, V is undoubtedly the second-in-command in the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department.
But power often means pressure as well.
V rubbed his temples to relieve his tired mind before continuing to work.
"Ascension Technology factory expansion, planning to build Ascension Technology Industrial Park..."
The news of Ascension Technology's factory expansion was unsurprisingly delivered to V.
The importance of Ascension Technology to Arasaka goes without saying. As the source of the Advanced Soldier Serum, Ascension Technology has always been a key focus of the Counterintelligence Department.
So even though V considers Luoqi his friend, he has no ability to help him at this level.
But what makes Arasaka uncomfortable is that Ascension Technology's internal counter-espionage measures are unexpectedly good, and no spies can reach their core level at all.
So far, Arasaka has not been able to obtain useful classified information through espionage operations.
Over time, Arasaka no longer focused too much attention on Ascension Technology and gave up the idea of stealing Ascension Technology's core secrets.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble and provides Arasaka with Advanced Soldier Serum on time, then Arasaka's goal is achieved.
But now Ascension Technology seems to have new moves, which also piqued V's interest.
He pulled up another report file, which was intelligence from Yamamoto Daisho, an internal spy at Ascension Technology.
Ascension Technology is currently preparing to hold a press conference, and the entire publicity department has already started working.
The content of the press conference is related to the sale of Soldier Serum, and in addition, there seems to be an unknown product launch.
Specific information about the product is unknown, but the keywords are mechanical and automated.
This report is not long, and the information the spy could obtain was limited.
V was aware of the Soldier Serum sale mentioned in it.
Not long ago, Ascension Technology just completed Arasaka's Advanced Soldier Serum order, and should now be planning to sell the low-end version of Soldier Serum externally.
As for the other product, it might be the key to their expanded industrial park.
But without more information, V could not react well, so he could only set aside this piece of information about Ascension Technology and turn to the next report.
[Cyberpunk Combat Data Acquisition Plan]
[The first-generation product of the Cyberpunk project has been successfully produced and has undergone initial testing. Currently lacking support from actual combat data, the plan is to lure Military Technology forces to test the performance of the Cyberpunk.
After the test is completed, the Arasaka rescue team will immediately move out to clean up the battlefield and recover the experimental product.
Experimental subject: Captain Bafil (Experimental subject number NC126978)]
[Handler: Kate]
Looking at the mission file in front of him, V was a little surprised.
Cyberpunk is an important experimental project for Arasaka at this stage, so V is naturally no stranger to it.
But what surprised him was that the research and development of Cyberpunk had made such rapid and breakthrough progress, even reaching the stage of actual combat testing.
It should be known that the Tanaka kidnapping case that occurred not long ago involved Cyberpunk.
Although the case was not handled by V, he had also learned about the situation.
Tanaka, as one of the main persons in charge of the Cyberpunk project, had a lot of experimental data for the Cyberpunk project, but he was kidnapped and his data was extracted.
Although Arasaka eventually found Tanaka's body and recovered the experimental data from it, the significant data leak caused by this incident is still an undeniable fact.
But even under the influence of this leak incident, the Cyberpunk project is still progressing smoothly.
All of this may be attributed to the Advanced Soldier Serum.
Cyberpunk, as the name suggests.
It is Arasaka's latest developed combat prosthetic suit, named Cyberpunk because of its massive size and ape-like appearance when worn.
It is equipped with powerful hovercar suspension propulsion components and the most advanced gravity control unit, giving it the potential to be the ultimate killing machine on the battlefield.
Arasaka believes that with the power of Cyberpunk, as long as it is put into the market, it can overwhelm Military Technology.
But unfortunately, as a military-grade prosthetic suit, the powerful performance of Cyberpunk also dictates that it is not something ordinary people can control.
Arasaka conducted a large number of experiments, but most of the experimental subjects lost their personality traits before the Cyberpunk was fully installed, becoming complete Cyberpunk.
Even if a very small number of iron-blooded soldiers could persist until the installation was completed, they would uncontrollably become Cyberpunk within a few minutes.
This has also caused the progress of the Cyberpunk project to remain stagnant.
