After installing the source code module for Lisandra, a female humanoid robot with a futuristic appearance appeared before Luoqi.
Her mechanical body was designed with curves, and her upper face was dominated by an eye-like probe, with numerous data lines hanging down from the back of her head like hair.
This was Lisandra's physical robot body.
Although as an AI lifeform that had developed self-awareness, Lisandra didn't need to constantly reside in this mechanical body; any place with a network connection could become her habitat.
However, AIs usually wouldn't choose to roam around unless they were homeless like the various rogue AIs in the Old Net.
As the eye on Lisandra's head emitted a green light, she woke up.
"Master, Security Surveillance Robot Lisandra is at your service. Please give your command."
Lisandra emitted electronic sound effects with a mature female voice. Although Lisandra appeared docile towards Luoqi at the moment, Luoqi could imagine Lisandra's imposing image in front of others.
As the hidden boss of Source Program Company, being able to quietly develop within Source Program Company and control the entire company, Lisandra was definitely not easy to deal with.
"I need you to help me build a system that can manage and monitor the company. Besides maintaining the normal operation of the company, I also need to ensure that every employee is under your surveillance."
Luoqi walked behind Lisandra and connected the interface at the back of her head to the server he had prepared.
This was the company's network control room that Luoqi had planned, and it wasn't on the same floor as the company's public-facing offices.
Luoqi had set up the server here and placed Lisandra here, naturally making it convenient for her to manage the entire company's network.
At the same time, the server also stored the information and plans about Ascension Technology that Luoqi had prepared early on. With these things, Lisandra should be able to create something that satisfies him.
"Understood."
Without hesitation, Lisandra responded to Luoqi's command and began to execute it.
After connecting to the server, Lisandra began to explore and learn about the cyberpunk network. With her ability, she could quickly grasp the rules of the entire cyberspace.
And the security monitoring system was her most proficient area, but it would take some time to fully build the system Luoqi wanted.
Looking at Lisandra, who was still in deep learning, Luoqi decided to go do something else first.
Connecting to Lisandra's network, Luoqi instructed her to notify him anytime she finished, and then left the company.
He drove back to Nihonmachi.
In the clinic, Lao Wei was currently researching something.
"Lao Wei, how's it going? Any leads? I'm free right now, I can help you." Luoqi greeted Lao Wei.
Lao Wei was currently helping Luoqi research the formula for Kinetic Stimulant Type II.
To fully push the stimulant onto the market, relying solely on the output of the crafting table was naturally insufficient, so Luoqi redeemed the stimulant's technology expansion.
Now he could set up a stimulant production line for large-scale production.
However, the technology expansion formula he obtained was for Power Excitement Agent Type I. To produce Type II stimulant, he needed to research its corresponding technology expansion formula again.
"Almost there. The formula examples you gave me pointed me in the right direction. It's not difficult to research."
According to my estimation, this time it should be the correct formula."
Lao Wei packaged the stimulant he had just developed and handed it to Luoqi.
"You'll know by looking."
Luoqi took the agent given by Lao Wei to the workbench and activated the scanning function.
Soon, the information about the agent was displayed. Just as Lao Wei had guessed, this formula was what they wanted. The agent's effect was no different from the previous Kinetic Stimulant Type II.
"The formula is fine, this time it's correct. Thanks, Lao Wei."
"It's just a small matter."
Lao Wei had once promised to help Luoqi, so naturally, he was happy to help when there was a place where he could be useful.
Luoqi stored the formula on a chip. After taking Lao Wei back to Watson District, he went all the way to the factory in Chengbei Industrial Zone.
Arriving at the factory gate, two automatic turrets could be seen standing tall on either side of the gate.
These were defensive armaments provided to Luoqi by Arasaka at a friendly cooperation price, including the various turrets, surveillance probes, and central control server within the factory, all supported by Arasaka.
As one of the world's largest security industry companies, the quality of security equipment produced by Arasaka was still guaranteed.
The Chengbei Industrial Zone was not a peaceful place. The Whirlwind Gang, Scavengers, and various wanted criminals and cyberpsychos were all entrenched here.
Opening a factory here would inevitably encounter some people who wanted to gain some benefits. Therefore, equipping an armed defense system was quite necessary.
As for whether Arasaka had left any backdoors in these products, they would know once Lisandra connected to the server here.
He believed that no means could evade Lisandra's detection.
Entering the factory, many production equipment items could be seen stacked up.
As early as when Luoqi finished installing the technology expansion and began researching the Kinetic Stimulant Type II formula, he had already started preparing the factory's production line.
Now the raw materials and production equipment were ready, and the formula was complete, but formal production still required the support of employees.
This step naturally had to wait until Lisandra finished handling things on her end.
Arriving at the control room, Luoqi connected his personal link to the factory's subnet.
"Lisandra, control the network here."
"Understood."
Lisandra was still processing the construction of the company system at this time, but multithreading was a standard operation for AI lifeforms.
Soon, Lisandra installed her monitoring program into the factory server through Luoqi's connection, completely taking control of the factory's network, connecting it to the main server, and bringing it under her supervision.
"Master, takeover complete. An unknown program is found lurking deep within the network. Clear it?"
Lisandra's voice sounded in Luoqi's communication. It didn't exceed Luoqi's expectations; Arasaka had indeed left a backdoor in these devices.
"Clear all of them."
After giving the command to Lisandra, Arasaka's backdoor was quickly and completely cleaned up.
After ensuring the system was fine, Luoqi connected the chip containing the formula to the central control system, preparing for future production.
And just then, the company system that Luoqi had Lisandra build was also completed.
"Master, the system program has been built." Lisandra notified him immediately according to Luoqi's instructions.
Installing the program Lisandra had created onto his own system and looking at Ascension Technology's exclusive employee system, Luoqi nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, you did very well. Now start posting recruitment information in Night City."
"Understood."
Following another round of commands from Luoqi, Lisandra began to disseminate Ascension Technology's recruitment information across various networks in Night City.
