From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 103 Building “Firelight” (4000)

Inside the command center;
  "This is Price. The wired base station has been set up and the individual cameras of each advance team are being shared."

As Price finished speaking, more holographic screens appeared one after another on the center console, and Sui Yang also "saw" more details through the perspectives of Xiaoqiang, Soap, Ghost and other advance team members.

By analyzing shop signs and traffic instructions written in Spanish, as well as the words "Perú (Peru)" and "Lima (Lima)", Sui Yang can determine that the space door is located in Lima, the capital of Peru.

Judging from the damaged infrastructure and scrapped vehicles, the human civilization on the other side of the sixth space gate belongs to the near future, but it has also suffered a devastating blow, resulting in such a harsh environment and uninhabited scene.

At this time, Sui Yang will turn slightly sideways and read the environmental data on that side through another holographic screen.

"Temperature: 49℃

Gravity: 1.0G
  Atmospheric pressure: 1.4 times atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric composition;

Oxygen: 7%
  Nitrogen: 60%
  Ammonia: 9%
  Carbon dioxide: 21%
  Total content of other rare gases: 3%"

The oxygen content is only 7%? On the other hand, carbon dioxide has reached 21%, and even ammonia, which is highly toxic to humans, is 9%.

In fact, when hellhounds step through the space gate, their physiological condition drops from green to yellow. However, the hellhounds' resistance to poison, heat and cold resistance are far superior to ordinary humans.

Cerberus are not zombie dogs. They are "living creatures" cultivated through cloning. They will have adverse reactions when faced with this highly toxic and high-temperature environment, but they can still maintain normal working conditions.

But if ordinary people don't wear HEV overalls or special operations one-piece combat uniforms and choose to go directly through the sixth space gate, they will face dehydration, suffocation, poisoning and other symptoms, and will die in less than two minutes.

The environment of Earth 06 is deadly to humans, but for certain creatures, it is an excellent place to live and live. It is obvious that Earth 06 was forcibly transformed by some kind of creature. .

Not only Sui Yang, but also Magnus, who was standing on his left hand side, also discovered this.

Magnus, who has short red hair, has long since lost his youthfulness, and is about two meters tall, much taller than his father.

Currently, only Magnus stays by Sui Yang's side. As for the other four primarchs, they are independently handling and managing the work and construction of different universes.

It's not that Sui Yang is worried about Magnus, or that he thinks Magnus is not capable enough, but Sui Yang needs to correctly guide his son with the most outstanding psychic talent, and at the same time help him with his daily work.

Seeing the brief data on the atmosphere, Magnus couldn't help frowning and said: "Father, it seems that what we are facing this time is no longer a virus threat, but an alien threat."

"Maybe." Sui Yang nodded lightly, and then gave the order with a slightly raised voice: "Inform Captain Price to find a suitable location near the shielding range of the space door and set up an automatic sentry.

Notify the engineering department and the AECS responsible for the safety of the engineering department to immediately pass through the space door. Remind them again to check their work clothes to ensure that the sealing and pressure-maintaining work is completed. I don't want to hear about any unexpected safety incidents. "

"Okay, boss."

Hearing the response from the first floor, Sui Yang put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling observation window on the edge of the second floor, looking at the engineering team and AECS who were about to rush to Earth Zero-6.

Magnus, who followed him to the observation window, remained silent for a while, and took the initiative to say: "Father, there were traces of an abnormal phenomenon in the main universe not long ago. According to the analysis of existing images and video data, the threat level should be Low-level, there are already four investigators on the trail.”

"I have read the document you uploaded, but I still want the investigators responsible for the incident to be more vigilant. Those guys can transform from humans into wolves, indicating that they are very likely to be contagious." Sui Yang reminded.

"Yes."

Not long ago, the company's network department discovered that several users with addresses in Europe had posted numerous discussion posts with titles such as "Real Werewolf" and "Is this real or fake? #Werewolf#Vampire", along with the following Images and videos.

One of the videos was very blurry, but it completely described a "person" standing on the edge of the woods in the suburbs. He first took off his clothes and put them into a backpack, and then, in less than a blink of an eye, he transformed into a gray-furred giant. The wolf disappeared into the dense forest with the backpack in its mouth.

This is the abnormal phenomenon that Magnus mentioned, but Sui Yang is busy with preparations for opening the sixth space gate, not to mention he believes that all departments under his command have the ability to handle such small matters.

So he understood that his son mentioned the abnormal phenomenon to lead to the next topic.

Magnus looked a little worried and continued: "Father, now the monitoring facilities in the main universe are becoming more and more perfect, gradually making things hidden in the dark invisible, and as the company is about to launch extraterrestrial colonization projects, , and the doomsday scenes of different earths all make me feel that human beings are just a tiny drop in the galaxy."

"Small?" Sui Yang glanced at his son with his peripheral vision, then looked out the window again, and said seriously: "Human beings are very small, but sometimes they can shine like a new star. I also know that you are thinking about human beings." You need to continue to speed up and do everything possible to become extremely powerful in order to gain a firm foothold in the universe, but everything requires a step-by-step process, so be patient, my child.”

Ever since the Primarch learned about the threat of the Warp and began assisting in the company's affairs, he felt the string in his heart tightening more and more.

Fortunately, talking to his father made Magnus realize that he had been a little too anxious recently, and then nodded in relief:

"I understand, father,"

"Well, get ready. Once the frontline base takes shape, we will move to Earth Zero-6."

"Yes."

at the same time.

The assembly waiting area at the sixth space gate;

Heavy trucks are driving through the space gate one after another, carrying a large amount of construction materials that are easy to assemble and weld, as well as new Hex robots in standby mode.

Moving along both sides of the convoy were thousands of Atlas employees, more than 90% of whom were members of the engineering team, and a small number were AECS soldiers responsible for escorting the convoy.

Members of the engineering team all wear one-piece overalls, with airtight helmets of different colors representing different positions. Some members drive engineering mechas equipped with air conditioning, pressure maintaining and air filtration devices.

As for the equipment of AECS, it is visibly sophisticated.

Mechanical skeletons are standard equipment for the company's front-line employees and are divided into military, engineering, civilian and medical models. AECS's mechanical skeleton is not much different from ARS, with a more compact structure and more comprehensive protection.

Normally, combat uniforms are not airtight and do not have functions such as temperature regulation and air filtration. However, this group of soldiers currently belongs to the special establishment of AECS and naturally has the best equipment in all AECS.

Every nine people is a standard tactical team.

A team leader holding an improved bioplasma gun (BFG),

Four AMWS modular riflemen,

Two demolitioners carrying individual anti-tank missiles and numerous explosives,

Two machine gunners holding a .30cal smart machine gun and a 6mm caliber Gauss machine gun respectively.

When performing ordinary tasks, the team leader will also control six clone troopers to increase their fire suppression capabilities.

now.

A machine gunner armed with a .30cal smart machine gun followed the large army across the mercury mirror and arrived at the ruins of Lima. "call"

There was a steady breathing inside the helmet.

It seems that the private named Jaynes Thomson has already adapted to his job and does not have much nervousness.

Soon after.

The helmet screen displayed the location marked by their team leader, and they also heard the team leader’s command on the communication: “Attention everyone, go to the construction target 1,200 meters away, and set up a defensive position to cooperate with the Charlie and Juliet team. Crossfire lines.

Also, please cheer me up and ensure that the guys in the engineering team have a safe and worry-free construction environment. You must know that this is related to whether we can lie down and sleep comfortably. "

"Yes, sir."

After receiving clear instructions, Jaynes and his teammates began to speed up and headed towards the west side.

There was a three-dimensional thumbnail map drawn by the advance team using a pulse scanner (metal ball). It didn't take long for them to pass through the ruins and arrive at a three-story apartment building with half of its structure missing.

After confirming that the structure of the other half was solid, they entered the interior and occupied rooms in different locations.

Jaynes rushed to the balcony and placed the .30cal machine gun on the balcony wall. Facing the north, he reported: "No. is in position."

"Number three is in position."

"Number eight."

Responses from teammates rang out on the channel one after another.

He also saw the Charlie and Juliet teams on the thumbnail map, respectively on the left and right of their apartment building. The three parties happened to form a triangular "△" formation.

After the last comrade was in place, the team leader spoke again: "Everyone switches to energy-saving mode. We will stay here for the next ten hours. We can urinate freely. There is a filtration system anyway. As for the large cough, I suggest After the mission is over, ask the logistics staff who manage the equipment to have a drink, and you will be blessed anyway."

After saying that, the channel fell into silence.

There is no way. According to the harsh environment of Earth 06, even the frontline base in the initial stage must be airtight and have a filtering and circulation device. These factors require the engineering team to build and debug at least ten hours to accommodate two thousand people. The rest of the people’s normal lives.

And once they cross the space gate, they need to strictly abide by the company's regulations and are not allowed to return to the main universe at will, so they can only stay here for ten hours as the team leader said.

There is no need to worry about food and water. They can suck "jelly" military rations containing water, carbohydrates, proteins and other essential substances for the human body through the straw placed inside the helmet.

Buzz--.

With a slight electronic sound effect, Jaynes switched his personal equipment to energy-saving mode.

The screen becomes dimmed, the pulse detection interval is delayed from 15 seconds to 45 seconds, and some insignificant functions and programs are automatically closed.

After the mode switch is completed, the power and usage time displayed in the lower right corner of the screen change to "99%" and "20h (hours)".

After making all these preparations, Jaynes only needs to ensure that there is no movement in the direction he is responsible for.

Time passes slowly minute by minute.

The sunlight that was already blocked by thick clouds gradually disappeared. Once their location was on the backside of the sun, the area became "absolute darkness" with almost no natural light.

"."

Looking at the scene outside through the screen, Jaynes couldn't help but wonder how the surviving compatriots living here survived the purgatory days and nights.

Then, he submitted a request to the team leader to establish private communication with comrade No. 3. Within a short time, he received a reply of "Approval, three minutes at most."

Seeing this, Jaynes immediately pulled comrade No. 3 to the private channel and said with a smile: "How are your two children?"

"It's good, and in nine months, I will have worked for the company for three years. By then, our family can move to Accra in the main universe, where there are better teaching resources than New Iceland. "The comrade also replied with a smile.

"You haven't found a stepmother for your son or daughter?"

"I don't have that intention." The comrade suddenly reacted and asked, "You suddenly said this because you remembered our life in the shelter on Earth 04 (Netherworld)."

"Hey, what do you think? I hope that there will be more surviving compatriots in this world, and I hope to have the opportunity to kill a few more of the culprits who caused all this." Jaynes said in a slightly heavy tone at the end.

In fact, Jaynes and his comrade No. 3 are the survivors of the Sana shelter, namely the private and the short-haired soldier.

After living in New Iceland for three months, the two of them coincided with the company's large-scale recruitment and passed the physical fitness test and various examinations. They successfully became members of AECS and even participated in the zombie eradication battle in Universe 05.

Due to his outstanding performance and bravery in combat, he successfully became a special operations member of AECS until he was deployed here.

Perhaps it was the difficult time spent in the shelter, or the fear of never waking up again after falling asleep, that made Jaynes empathize with the experience of Earth Zero-6.

After hearing Jaynes's words, his comrades also replied: "We can get more information when Ernie takes off, but at this stage, we should guard this place."

"Ah."

The two cut off communication and continued to brace themselves to be alert to the front.

Leave the apartment building.

Looking at the entire city of Lima from the air, there is no light source at all, nor the engineering team under construction nor the mercury mirror-like space door.

This is because the engineering team built a large shelter with optical camouflage function over the construction site as soon as they passed through the space gate to prevent potential enemies from discovering Atlas's activities here through naked eyes. trace.

If the height of the overlook continues to increase,
  拉升
  Coming to the low-Earth orbit, you can see that the North American continent, which is also on the sunny side, is "flaming into the sky." To be precise, all the volcanoes on the North American continent seem to be "alive" and are constantly spewing hot water outwards. magma.

　Hello friends~
  　　I may have been a little impatient recently, fearing that it would not be exciting and lacking in expectations, and I was also worried that the detailed description would make everyone feel that it is watery.

　　Fortunately, I have reacted and the rhythm will be slower and not too fast, hahaha.

　　And there are many threats and things that can be described in the main universe.

　　Finally, thank you all for your support~!

　　Thank you all for your recommendation votes, monthly votes, subscriptions and rewards~!
