From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 218 "The Fleet Enters the Sea" "Alien Cubs" "Action Plan" (two in one)

Valorant-class super-heavy cruiser.
According to the 2511 timeline of the "Halo" universe, this type of behemoth has only been in service for 18 years.

As the latest generation of intelligent AI developed by the UNSC, Apu has extremely high authority and is naturally able to access various data at the Mars Shipyard, allowing Atlas to obtain detailed data on most UNSC ships.

In addition, Atlas has further improved the heroic-level defense facilities and firepower output.

Thanks to Apu, the smart AI, the scientific research department originally needed months or even years of reverse decoding work, but now it only took one and a half months to successfully reverse decode the representative technology of the Reaper civilization— —

Energy shield.

With the extremely high energy provided by the nuclear fusion reactor, this energy is bound within a specific strong magnetic field to form a physical barrier visible to the naked eye.

After the Scientific Research Department developed a shield-generating device the size of a Luna transport boat, the Engineering Department "used" it and installed it inside the first Valiant-class ship.

Although the generating device is still a prototype and has not gone through specific testing sessions, in the face of the tense situation in the "Halo" universe, Atlas has no choice but to test it in actual combat.

In addition, the Engineering Department also embedded a magnetic field deflection device into the outer armor of the Valiant class to provide an additional line of defense against energy attacks when the energy shield fails due to overload.

"."

Horus glanced around at the staff, then raised his hand to adjust the center console, allowing a three-dimensional thumbnail of Earth Zero-2 to appear before his eyes.

"Okay, I understand. If there is any emergency, please report it immediately."

"Sir, the ground troops are about to complete the boarding process. It is estimated that the fleet will be able to directly enter the jump space in thirty minutes.

Therefore, Horus never thought about peace negotiations from the beginning, and was prepared to rely on absolute firepower superiority and unexpected effects to crush them all the way.

As for firepower, two 500-meter-long electromagnetic main guns can accelerate 2.8-ton needle-shaped tungsten steel bullets to 0.02% of the speed of light.

Its atmosphere still reflects a light blue sheen, but the entire planet seems to be covered with a gray film, making it turbid.

Most of these newly "entered the sea" ships are deployed in the low-Earth orbit and space area of ​​Harvest Star to deal with interstellar wars that may break out at any time.

In addition, the investigators who rushed to Zero-2 Earth in advance have returned the latest information. Zero-2 Humanity's military is also busy suppressing the rebellion in the colonies, so the timing of this integrated operation is very beneficial to the company.
"

After all, Zero Two humans do not have the ability to transform the entire planet, and Pandora, with its thick atmosphere and strong magnetic field protection, has become their main target.

A civilian officer displayed his holographic image next to the center console, and quickly summarized the situation to Horus, who was the commander-in-chief.

After preliminary investigations, as well as the joint speculation results of the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department, their trip will inevitably lead to an armed conflict with Zero Two Humanity.

Sixteen parallel plasma secondary guns, as well as more than a hundred rotating Gauss close-in defense guns, vertical missile silos, etc., its firepower is more than five times that of the Fiddes class.

The rest was used to unify the Zero Two humans.

Soon, the officer dissipated the holographic image, returning the command cabin to its original busy atmosphere.

At this time, inside the Valiant-level command module named "Sky Dome";

If it weren't for the delay in communication, the round trip would take ten years as a basis, and if they were also faced with colonial rebellions, then the powerful and powerful officials would have devoted all their manpower and material resources to the "relocation" matter, and then put 99% of the People are left to fend for themselves on earth.

Two of them are anchored at the Harvest Orbital Space Station in the "Halo" universe. The other one was manufactured and assembled by Pandora Shipyard and serves as the flagship of the unified Zero-2 Earth Fleet.

This is why the humans in Universe Zero-2 are eager to escape from their home planet and find a second home.

The staff sitting behind their respective control desks are concentrating on handling the matters at hand. Even if communication is needed, the dialogue is simple and clear, maintaining the original efficiency as much as possible.

Exactly more than 7,000 Astartes adapters implanted with gene seeds were sent to Pandora for wild survival training on Leon's orders. Therefore, Horus took the opportunity to "borrow" these students.

It seems that the Zero-Two humans have been squandering without restraint and exploiting resources wantonly, causing their home planet to be on the verge of drying up and becoming "extinct."

However, the earth will not die because of this. It is the humans, animals and plants living on the earth that will lead to the final outcome of extinction.

Mastering the stratosphere technology allows Atlas to travel at faster than light speeds without having to worry about excessive communication delays.

After the officer finished reporting, Horus nodded and said:

At the same time, he was also thinking about whether to apply for a trip to Universe 08 (Halo) after completing this integration operation. After all, he had not been able to have a good face-to-face conversation with his father for a while, and he also had two more people he had never met. younger brother.

And ground vehicle units such as Titans, Slayers, and Fighting Mechs are "everything you need."

Taking into account the innocent people, Horus will try to avoid orbital bombardment by the fleet, and instead rely on the elite strategy implemented by the company to carry out air strikes and beheadings.

Moreover, the desertification of the land is extremely serious, and most of the green areas are missing. Instead, steel cities built by humans occupy the original woodlands and grasslands.

"Sir." At this time, a staff member reminded him sideways:

The original body wearing power armor remained silent, staring at the real-time data.

"Yes."

In order to "know yourself and the enemy", when Horus assembled the first Selune-class ship equipped with the Sho Tengchuan engine at the Pandora Shipyard, he asked it to carry elite investigators and rush to Earth Zero-2 to conduct investigations.

In addition to the Valiant class, Atlas also "fired up" within half a year, invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and produced 14 Paris-class frigates, 22 Fiddes-class ships, and 30 Selene-class ships.

There is no way, Atlas's influence on Earth Zero-2 is zero, and it has no public base.

Moreover, the Valorant-class hangar can accommodate 20 Luna transport boats, 120 Phantom III fighters and White-legged Falcons, as well as a large number of assault boats.

Although the space power of Zero Two Humanity is relatively "backward", no matter what, it is the civilization that directly transformed Atlas, so it should be given special attention.

To date, Atlas has produced a total of 3 Valiant-class cruisers.

After confirming that everything was developing as expected, Horus waved away the holographic thumbnail of Earth Zero-2, preparing to browse the list of adapters again.

There is nothing more training than actual combat, not to mention the fact that seven thousand "soldiers" whose physical fitness is no less than that of the company's elite can further increase the fleet's ground power and maintain security in the occupied area.

If compared to traditional maritime ships, the Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser is simply an aircraft carrier. However, the UNSC's real aircraft carrier capacity is even more terrifying than the Valiant-class.

"The air formation carrying the students is about to arrive at the hangar of the ship."

Horus, who was pulled out of his thoughts by the other party's words, nodded slightly and added: "Don't forget to arrange their dormitories for those children."

"Yes."

After giving the instructions, Horus no longer focused on what was to come, but continued to focus on the next integration matters.

As for calling an adapter who is older than him a child, the main reason is that the original body cannot be viewed from an ordinary person's perspective.

If we had to convert it to an ordinary person's age, then Horus, who was born in 1995, should be around 30 years old in his prime of mind and body.

And if there are no accidents, Horus's body will not age or weaken, but will only become stronger as Sui Yang becomes more powerful.

The Halo universe. In the dense forest on the outskirts of the forward base, next to a clear water pool;
"Chirp! Chirp!"

A group of native birds that look like the Earth, but have light blue beaks, flap their wings and land on the east bank of the pool, where they drink and play.

In addition to them, there are also various species gathered at the waterhole, replenishing water for the body peacefully.

However, lying in the grass not far from the east bank, there were two boys who looked like three or four years old.

The two of them were observing the local animals of Harvest Star and their habits.

The boy lying on the left side is wearing light green shorts and a light white T-shirt. He is thin but does not show any symptoms of malnutrition.

The boy on the right is dressed in black, has long hair, is handsome, and has fair skin.

Various characteristics indicate that they are the descendants of the owners of Atlas, namely Mortarion and Corax.

"."

Both children seemed to be somewhat introverted. They lay motionless in the grass and had no intention of communicating in a low voice.

Just waited for a while.

Corax stood up and without making the slightest sound, walked slowly towards the group of "Wenniao" who were still playing.

He squatted down and reached out, accurately covering one of them. Then, Corax carefully put his hands together and successfully captured it.

"grumble!"

The bird was obviously frightened and could not figure out how it was caught in the "air".

? ?
The struggle and cry immediately attracted the attention of all the birds.

In their eyes, their companions were floating in the air without flapping their wings, and they were unable to notice Corax's proximity.

Hey, hey.

! !
After Mortarion also got up and moved around, all the birds realized that humans were approaching, so they left their companions and fled.

"Tsk."

After looking at the flock of birds disappearing in the dense forest, and then looking at Corax approaching him, Mortarion couldn't help but frown:
"Why can you do it but I can't? It's always like this."

"Give."

Corax gently held the captured munnia and handed it to Mortarion.

"What?" Mortarion was puzzled.

"Being your pet, develop your patience." Corax explained.

"I don't care."

Mortarion turned his head, as if he had no interest in adopting Munia.

But his right hand, with its open palm, revealed his true thoughts.

"I knew it."

Seeing this, Corax couldn't help laughing, and was about to hand over the bird to his brother.

"You two seem to only care about your own feelings, don't you consider whether it is willing or not?"

Suddenly, a soft voice asked, interrupting the two brothers' movements.

After hearing the sound, the two of them saw a "woman" wearing loose clothes and a light gauze dress gradually walking to the pool.

Moreover, because the "woman" is close to 1.9 meters tall, the two young original bodies, who are almost over 1 meter tall, need to raise their heads to see her delicate appearance clearly.

"Ms. Lothrian, I didn't think carefully."

Hearing the other party's words, Corax was the first to respond and released his right hand, allowing Muniao to regain his freedom.

"It's up to me." Mortarion excused his brother: "I want a pet bird, otherwise Corax wouldn't catch it for me."

"Haha, you two didn't make any mistakes, don't think too much about it."

Seeing the two brothers taking turns "taking responsibility", Tinas Lothrian, the elf queen, also smiled.

Then she half-crouched in front of the two original bodies, keeping their eyes level, and warned:
"In the future, you will succeed His Majesty the Emperor and take charge of a universe. When you promulgate a policy that you think is good and beneficial to the people, you must ask yourselves whether it really meets the expectations of the people, and whether it will provoke someone. Those forces hiding in dark corners.”

"Oh"

The two original bodies were a little confused.

They had never considered that the act of "wanting a pet" could involve so many reasons, but they still patiently listened to each other's teachings.

After Tinas assisted Guilliman in purging the fallen gods on Mars, he led an elite force to the Harvest Planet according to the original plan and was on standby.

Then, because Sui Yang and Alexia had to deal with a lot of things recently, the elf queen, who was more than ten times as old as Sui Yang, continued to help teach and watch over Corax and Mortari, who were curious about the outside world. install.

Seeing the confused expressions of the two original bodies, Tynas couldn't help but stretched out his hands, gently touched their heads, and said:
"If you want pets, I can order people to bring two griffons from Terraira. Well, or the cubs of other strange beasts."

"real?!"

Upon hearing this, the two original bodies' eyes suddenly glowed.

You must know that they are Terraela who yearn for the magical world, especially those who want to see those fantastic-looking creatures with their own eyes.

"Of course it's true." Tinas stood up with a smile:

"But the prerequisite is that you need to discuss it with your father. Also, if His Majesty the Human Emperor agrees, you two will also assume the responsibility of the master. Do you understand?"

"clear!!"

"Then let's go back quickly!"

With that said, Corax and Mortarion ran towards the northern forward base.
-
At the same time, Sui Yang, who was handling official duties in his personal office, could clearly feel the joy of his sons even though he was dozens of kilometers away.

But his mind at the moment is focused on the action plan written by Ada and titled "Capturing High-Value Talent-Katherine Elizabeth Halsey."
