The Tower of Spiritual Aspects

The senior engineer was indeed lying.

He didn't come here for that.

He didn't even have the slightest intention of participating in Aragaki's plan.

Whether it's Ara-maki or even those who let the wolf into the house, they may have overlooked one thing.

That's the power of a fifth-tier information monster!

Powerful enough to easily change the planet.

Aragaki probably thinks that as long as I take action, find a way to bring these rebels together, cut off their communication with the higher-ups, and then use a switcheroo to impersonate them, the problem can be solved smoothly. As for the monsters in the starry sky, I can just send a fake planetary coordinate.

On a cosmic scale, the next time we meet might be tens of thousands of years from now.

However, the Memory Mother has already arrived and has parasitized all life forms on this planet with her eggs.

The old man Aragaki's skills are only good enough to impress normal people, not monsters of that level.

Regardless of what plans Aragaki has, the senior engineer is 100% certain that the cyber wave will break out.

What's the point of me doing useless work with this old man?

I'd rather grind my 'virtual safe house'.

However, this raises a problem: although I have 50, no, now 6 billion 'faction experience', when betting on 'Tier 3 Civilization Building' level super blueprints, each blueprint only costs 2 billion on average, which is indeed not enough.

If you can't win by gamble, you have to find a shortcut.

The shortcut is simple: just get a few of the same type of "large blueprints", and you can greatly reduce the consumption of "gambling on blueprints".

So the senior engineer came here.

This place was indeed what the old man Aragaki told him, but it wasn't the Aragaki of this lifetime.

In the previous cyber tide, all fronts collapsed completely. Aragaki could only notify the remaining players to teleport to the Earth's core through the "Gravity Hole" to leave a spark of civilization for this planet.

In his previous life, the senior engineer did receive a notification, but before he had even traveled halfway there, the scroll was gone, and so was the mission.

So it's a pity I've never been in.

In this life, I was fortunate enough to enter the true headquarters of Ghost in the Shell.

This "Ghost in the Shell Center" is on par with the "Planet Mainframe," but while the Planet Mainframe focuses on computing, the Ghost in the Shell Center focuses on surveillance.

Moreover, each "Monitor Center" has a different focus; Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit primarily targets corporate surveillance.

The senior engineer now has access to information on all the top executives of companies on this planet, as well as all the technical test data.

The number of technological experiments conducted at this testing ground is countless. The technological evolution of a normal civilization over tens of thousands of years has been condensed into less than a hundred years.

The intensity of the test can be imagined.

Senior engineers are focusing on topics related to "brain civilization".

For example, one of the "virtual human projects" failed, and the data of this project was transferred to the data center of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, which is here, with a danger level of 5.

Within this "Virtual Human Project," there is a large blueprint called the "Virtual Life Converter," which is a crucial device within the "Third-Tier Information Building."

The senior engineer found another component from another information experiment.

The former can temporarily transform carbon-based life into virtual life, allowing one to experience the thrill of "out-of-body experience" ahead of time; the latter can simulate all the "neuroelectric responses" of the brain.

With the two combined, one of the three "three-tiered information buildings" envisioned by the senior engineer will have a solution.

This involves bringing together three professional knowledge chains: "Neural editing technology," "life technology," and "electronic life chips" into a single page of the betting blueprint.

And pull in

Soon, a line of text popped up.

Let's get started!

It has been proven that synthesis with blueprints is more reliable than synthesis without blueprints.

The synthesis was successful quickly, but it wasn't what the senior engineer wanted.

Neural Flow Soldiers: A rare information-based unit in Tier 2 civilizations. Their bodies are composed of specific "neural currents." When their brains have sufficient computing power, they have an extremely strong ability to mass produce soldiers. They can directly attack the enemy's information processing center and possess considerable repair capabilities, making them difficult for ordinary antivirus software to remove.

"This stuff is a perfect match for canned food," the senior engineer muttered.

It's important to know that most players end up as biological canisters, stuffed into a planetary factory to generate electricity from biological energy.

If combined with these "neural flow soldiers," the rate at which troops are massed would be ridiculously high, with legions being produced one after another.

However, the senior engineer quickly came up with another idea.

This "second-tier unit" seems to be a good match for the "brain in a vat," since the power generated by one of its brains is probably equivalent to that of a hundred million people.

In any case, it's always a good thing that the faction has gained a second-tier unit, in addition to the Meat Knight, Biological Hunter, Mechanical Hunter, second-tier Mech Pilot, and the elite unit - the Royal Guard.

Our faction already has six tier-two unit types.

For a second-tier power, that is indeed a rather substantial number.

Without saying a word, they continued gambling.

They cram in millions or even tens of millions of faction experience points.

After about 40 attempts, they finally got the result the senior engineer wanted.

The Tower of Spiritual Images: In industrial civilization, power towers are the guarantee of power transmission lines and an important part of the power system. Similarly, in virtual civilization, the Tower of Spiritual Images is a guarantee of civilization and an important part of the soul protection system. It can transform and transmit virtual life such as souls, virtual personalities, and artificial intelligence on a large scale.

"Finally, one's been sorted out."

The senior engineer breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the faction experience, and found that only 500 million had been consumed, leaving 5.5 billion remaining.

This undoubtedly set a good precedent for the subsequent "betting on blueprints".

"Once we're out, send this 'Tier 3 Building' to Director Du and have it built as soon as possible. One Spirit Tower can roughly cover an area of a continent, and to move freely within the Cyber Tide, at least 15 towers will be needed."

"Minister Gao, you seem relieved."

"I really feel relieved."

Next, the senior engineer began to collect a large amount of information, recording all the data and information related to the other two virtual buildings.

Fortunately, with Miss Shell's help, this arduous task was completed relatively smoothly.

Several more days passed

"Team leader!"

"Captain, say something!"

"With this new minister in charge, I feel like our department is doomed."

Motoko Yagami suddenly looked up and coldly glanced at the few outstanding members. Instantly, these fearless members trembled with fear.

"Since you're dissatisfied with the new minister, you should go talk to him. What's the point of coming to me?"

"But, Captain, you've always been the new minister—"

"What, are you saying I should rebel?"

"No, no, how could that be?" one of the group members quickly denied, but his eyes darted around as if he thought the idea wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here!"

After the members left, Motoko Yagami resumed her indifferent expression and went back to work, only to suddenly say:

"Miss Shell".

"Captain Motoko, I'm here."

"What has our minister been busy with lately?"

"Looking at the data from our headquarters, I think this is a good omen, Captain Motoko."

"So you've learned to lie too, Miss Shell? I remember there's no option to lie in your operating system."

"I wasn't lying, Captain Motoko."

"But you didn't tell me that you brought our new minister into the 'Ghost in the Shell' center."

Miss Shell's surprised voice rang out.

"How did Captain Motoko find out?"

"I've been a reserve member of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit since I was six years old. There's very little I don't know about this unit," Motoko Yagami said calmly. "You still haven't answered my question, Ms. Shell."

"Isn't this what I've always wanted to do: take past ministers to the very heart of this oversight body?"

"But you didn't say that this minister must be one that you, Miss Shell, acknowledge. The second and third ministers were not accepted by you as quickly as this one. The Center of Attack on the Shell is your true self."

Miss Shell was silent for a moment before her voice rang out again:

"Just as you chose to believe the other party, I chose to believe the fourth minister for the same reason."

"It seems you're hiding quite a few things from me."

Motoko Yagami closed her eyes, then opened them, and said calmly and firmly, "Please tell the other party that I will also participate in the investigation of the monsters in the starry sky, and if there is any interference between us, please notify me in advance."

"OK."

"By the way, I won't be participating in this six-ministerial meeting. Surely the new ministers can manage to hold a meeting."

"Of course not," Miss Shell said. "In fact, he's looking at our department's intelligence summary."

Motoko Yagami raised an eyebrow. This guy is actually working so hard?

The senior engineer was indeed watching; with the minister's authority, he could not hide any of Ghost in the Shell's Mobile Division's secrets.

Furthermore, some recent events have indeed caught his attention.

For example, a traitor emerged from the Xiao family, who took away a very important technological product. This person was named "Xiao Yu".

Also, one of the Big Data Conceptual Entity, "the eye of the spy," is dead.

According to another version of the story, the version has been updated.
