From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 116: Construction of Mecha Potion [Son]

Shortly after the live TV broadcast ended.

A large number of clones wearing dark gray cold-proof combat uniforms were shuttled between the stepped seats in the parliament hall, "packing away" tens of thousands of federal officials whose hands and feet were tied.

Although these guys have been corrupted by power and turned into hedonistic and even anti-human scum, they still have extremely high reuse value, such as testing the actual combat effectiveness of biological weapons or the practicality of new medical products.

And the experimental data they obtain will help promote the continued progress of mankind as a whole.

Officials and generals with free hands and feet were taken away by ARS (rapid response) and prepared to take exams and tests according to Atlas specifications. After all, the Steel City is already an "asset" of Atlas, and everything must abide by ARS. Truss rules and regulations.

Soon, there were only a few people left in the lobby, most of them were AECS (emergency countermeasures) who were conducting final inspections.

The location of the Parliament Hall is the Federal Building located in the core of the Steel City. However, this giant building with a height of more than 1,200 meters is about to face comprehensive rectification by the Ministry of Engineering for Atlas Management Zero Six. The branch building of the universe.

Middle area.

In the former office of the Federal Speaker;
  Sui Yang sat behind the metal desk and quickly checked the people's livelihood, economic and military situation of the Steel City through the holographic technology screen of Universe 06.

Fast upward screen scrolling was manually paused when browsing to a resource.

In order to maintain their own power and avoid the outbreak of riots or uprisings and coups, federal officials keep most people in a state of "just not hungry" to prevent people from paying too much attention and thinking about other issues. At the same time, federal officials will also guide people to go buffer zone for overconsumption.

But it was this behavior that allowed Atlas to directly obtain a large amount of ready-made resources, so that the Steel City did not have to worry about resource exhaustion for two years.

Two years is enough time to complete a considerable degree of comprehensive reconstruction.

During this period, Sui Yang will still use the original currency trading system of the Steel City and use the company's resources shipped from other universes to continuously expand and diversify the commodity supply chain of the Steel City.

When the steel city calms down, the company will introduce novel, high-quality non-essential daily necessities, such as different models of mobile phones, clothing and snacks of various styles and flavors, to stimulate market demand.

Large-scale construction of infrastructure promotes the upgrading of local industries and provides a large number of jobs. It is a routine operation. Incentive policies also need to be formulated and issued, such as registering identity information and participating in formal labor, and you can enjoy a one-year tax exemption. However, Suiyang will Complete or modify more details according to the actual situation.

Among all projects, there are two particularly important ones, namely, the reconstruction of social welfare and education, because this is not only the key to improving residents' well-being and education level, but also one of the main ways to enhance residents' sense of social responsibility.

Sui Yang briefly listed the future plans in his mind, realizing that he would need to stay here for at least two to three months, and then gradually handed over management, construction and production to Magnus.

In fact, even if he leaves now, Magnus is still qualified for the position of branch manager. However, Branch 06 is in urgent need of a large number of officials at this time, so Sui Yang chose to stay here temporarily to provide his son with direct assistance.

Atlas will select local officials during this period, and the company branches located in Universe 01 (Edge of Tomorrow) and Universe 03 (Doom) will continue to send human resources to the Steel City to fill vacancies. .

After six years of reconstruction, the Europe occupied by Division 01 has long been the company's breadbasket, and Division 01 can be said to be "rich" in management and operation talents. This is consistent with Robert (Guilliman), the director of Division 01. Inseparable from the relationship.

Next is the 03 branch that Leon is responsible for, which is "rich" in soldiers and officers with high physical fitness and extremely determined will. After all, the residents there have been repeatedly tortured physically and mentally by the fallen, and they have persisted for several years. Fellow humans rescued by corporations.

As for the fallen, they refer to those fallen humans who, after being injected with the 24th pair of chromosomes, have their appearance and mind distorted to the extreme, making them no different from "demons".

In order to avoid transforming the injected human into another creature, Atlas chose to extract the genetic information of the 24th pair of chromosomes and perform "gene programming" through nanorobots injected into the body to improve the adaptor's ability. physical fitness.

Nanotechnology consumed the main energy of the Scientific Research Department and the Biological Department for the past four years, and even consumed a large amount of the company's financial resources. Finally, the technical bottleneck was broken through in mid-1998.

Although the cost and maintenance costs are too high and the technology is relatively immature, Atlas cannot immediately apply nanotechnology to private medical facilities on a large scale, but it has been able to produce small batches of nanotechnology carrying the 24th pair of chromosome information. Nanorobots are distributed to a small number of core employees selected by the Biology Department.

The safety of nanorobots has been affirmed, but the complexity and resource investment required to make one person is no less than making two Luna transport boats, and this is a one-time product.

Therefore, currently only a few core employees are granted access to nanobots, usually front-line investigators who are solely responsible for investigations and investigations.

In addition, the Bioengineering Department also applied nanorobots to the temporary project of Compound No. 5.

Compound No. 5 was not favored by Atlas at first. After all, it was unpredictable and random, and the probability of stimulating human potential and conferring useful superpowers was extremely low. Even if injected in early childhood, it was often He also ended up being disabled for life.

The most critical point is that after injection of compound No. 5, humans will mutate, and most of them will be reproductively isolated from ordinary people.

But if we change our thinking and allow the user to have a "superhuman" state only temporarily, then the problem of permanent mutation will be perfectly solved. Therefore, disposable nanorobots provide an excellent way to make them temporary.

After extensive testing and experiments, the Department of Biology successfully produced the first batch of temporary medicines in December 1998, six months ago.

Combined with the aging characteristics of 20 to 26 hours, the Department of Biology named it "24V".

However, 24V has a fatal flaw, that is, once used, it will cause serious damage to the user's brain nerve cells and organs, and if used more than 15 times, the user may die suddenly at any time. risks of.

Therefore, front-line employees who are eligible to receive the first batch of 24V need to fully understand the details of the agent and clearly know the consequences of its use.

now.

Sui Yang recalled many things in an instant, wrote down the information about the resources and reserves of the Steel City, and then continued to scroll through the content presented on the holographic screen.

Soon, the screen displayed military-related files, such as the parameters of the EFF’s main battle tanks or the structural diagrams of standard firearms. However, only the "Sixth Generation Hunter Mech Plan" (The Mark) proposed by the Pan-Pacific Defense Forces -VI Jaeger Project)" made Sui Yang stop and read the data and details carefully.

The Defense Force plans to combine the characteristics of the third to fifth generation mechas and then optimize them to try to create a sixth generation mecha.

The latest generation of mecha will be powered by an electric turbine system and a nuclear reactor. It is prepared to adopt the three-person piloting system of the fourth-generation mecha "Crimson Typhoon" and add armor to the shoulder and back areas of the mecha to Prevent behemoths from sneak attacks on the head cockpit. Therefore, the ideal state of the sixth-generation mecha is to have the reliability and protection of the third generation, the melee agility and long-range plasma pulse cannon of the fourth generation, and the fast movement capabilities of the fifth generation.

Although the National Defense Force submitted the proposal to the Federal Parliament on the grounds of "protecting the Steel City," this comprehensive mecha was obviously used to raid the wormhole bridge on the seabed.

No wonder the conservatives controlled by the Pioneers are strongly opposed. They would rather break the balance and risk the execution of the top generals of the defense force than to prevent the construction of the sixth generation mecha.

Now, the "Sixth Generation Hunter Mecha Plan" has been completely owned by Atlas.

In fact, Sui Yang had considered a large-scale mecha project as early as six years ago. However, due to the possible significant imbalance between the cost of construction and trial and error and the actual combat effectiveness, he directly shelved the project.

You must know that the application scenarios of a hundred-meter-high mecha in modern warfare are very limited and require continuous testing and improvement. This is simply a thankless project.

Now that he has the ready-made data of the Pan-Pacific Defense Force, Sui Yang is ready to wait for him to assist Magnus in handling the affairs of Universe 06, and then return to the main universe to personally preside over the establishment of the project, and first build two prototype mechas as backup.

It is true that the environments that can be applied are very limited, but "limited" must always be greater than zero.

Sui Yang had sorted out the contents of the file and was about to browse the remaining contents of Steel City;
  [Two descendants have arrived near the Yellowstone volcano in Universe 06]

The cold voice that had been silent for a long time echoed in his mind again.

"."

Hearing this, Sui Yang leaned back on the office chair in a daze.

Two more sons are here?

The last reminder was in September 1995, when Horus and Magnus arrived. Now it is April 1999, 4 (main universe). Nearly four years have passed. It’s like The moment was spent in general.

Perhaps because of being an immortal, Sui Yang sometimes ignores the passage of time.

He quickly calmed down and controlled the screen to send an order to Magnus, "Prepare the Swift Shadow assault boat and follow me to North America."

Then he stood up and walked towards the door of the office. Before going out, he also put on a black windbreaker specially tailored for his two-meter-plus body.

outside the hallway.

Sui Yang and the six hunters responsible for escorting took the elevator to the top floor of the building.

Before passing through the pressure-maintaining gate, Sui Yang put on a breathing mask. Even if he didn't need a mask at all, he could breathe freely in the extreme environment of Earth Zero-6.

Sui Yang knew very well that the difference between him and his sons and ordinary people could not be concealed, especially the pair of white wings of Sanguinius.

Therefore, unless some remarks within the company are too "exaggerated", he usually chooses to turn a blind eye and will not deliberately curb the imagination of employees. After all, he understands that the more restricted something is, the more people will Being curious will eventually lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and backlash.

call--!
  The moment the gate opened, Sui Yang's black windbreaker rustled in the cold wind.

He also saw the Swift Shadow assault boat, which was in suspension mode and kept a certain distance from the landing pad, and Magnus, who was waiting not far away.

Without saying much, the father and son and six hunters stepped into the nearby Swift Shadow assault boat.

Immediately, Xunying's cabin door closed, the suspension mode increased the altitude, and finally relied on the nuclear fusion engine to sail to low-Earth orbit.
-
  Inside the command module;
  "I found that you get along quite well with the people from the PPDC (Pan-Pacific Defense Force)." Sui Yang said, looking at the vast starry sky through the holographic porthole.

"Yes, father, most of them are respectable warriors." Magnus, who was standing aside, nodded and continued without any concealment: "Especially General Quan Shaofeng, the commander-in-chief of PPDC. , he seems to be a rare clear figure in the Steel City, and he is also a reserve mecha pilot."

"I have read his file." Sui Yang stopped staring out the window, turned slightly sideways, and stared at his son, who was slightly taller than him, with a solemn and deep tone:
  "Child, in the near future, you will be responsible for managing all aspects of Universe 06 alone. Do you still remember the old saying I once said to you and your brothers? If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. "

"Of course, excessive purity will lack the necessary ecological balance and interpersonal relationships." Magnus responded without thinking.

"Yeah." Sui Yang nodded, knowing that Magnus no longer needed too many reminders.

After that, it didn't take long.

The Swift Shadow assault boat returned to the atmosphere and took them to the northwest region of North America.

Due to the hydrogen explosion two days ago, a certain degree of sunshine was restored here. At the same time, it also destroyed the pioneer cities to prevent them from continuing to pollute the atmospheric environment.

However, it will take at least a hundred years to restore it to its original appearance. After all, it is easy to destroy and difficult to repair. Or through the space door that opens every 414 days, Atlas has the technology to transform the planetary environment in advance.

Soon, the pilot followed Sui Yang's instructions and landed the Xunying assault craft on the southwest bank of what was once Yellowstone Lake, now Magma Lake.

The lake water has long since evaporated, replaced by hot lava.

After leaving the cabin, Sui Yang used psychic perception to lead Magnus and six hunters to a shallow pit and saw two "young children" playing with each other.

One has naturally short white hair, the other has black hair and healthy wheat-colored skin.
