Jiuheng did not rule the city.
It just makes it impossible for every city to leave itself.
Energy, medical, identity, currency, orbit and security systems belong to different agencies, but the final standards and authorities all lead to Jiuheng. It has survived wars, divisions and assassinations. Now that the founder Jiang Xuanzhang is old, Jiuheng is still operating as usual. People have forgotten what life without Jiuheng should be like.
Tomorrow, one hundred and seventy-two cities will cut off power for three seconds at the same time for the sealing ceremony. When the lights turn on again, Jiang Zhaoheng will take over the highest authority from his mother. The board of directors was concerned about whether she could keep Jiuheng alive, but no one asked her whether she was willing to let it exist forever.
On the eve of the sealing ceremony, external engineer Jian Li discovered a period of 0.73 Seconds that had been disappearing in Taichung. The public log shows that everything is normal, but the replacement application was rejected by the system, and the approver column is empty.
Jiang Zhaoheng ordered the contacts to be sealed.
The countdown to the sealing ceremony did not stop.
No CP. Group portrait of women. Cyberpunk corporate power suspense.
Purpose: To explore how an irreplaceable order is formed and what price it takes to challenge it.
