From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 241 "Nanosuit" "Dragon's Roar" Westbrook (-in-)

August 3st, early morning.

The core area of ​​the ruins base, the equipment preparation warehouse of the armed department, Area 14;
"Hey guys, is this a nanosuit?"

With the help of the logistics staff, Soap put on a "nano suit" that was mainly black and had obvious muscle lines.

"This is not a nanosuit prepared for Thunder Warriors or Astartes, Major." The logistics staff used the holographic screen suspended beside them to conduct final inspections and explained:

"There is no active fluid metal layer that can twist or squeeze your body. It only uses nanotechnology, optical camouflage, bionic technology and condensed matter batteries for the Hazardous Environment Combat Suit, or HECV for short.

Don't your advance team often complain that the company has not updated your advance team's combat equipment since the sixth space gate was opened?
So the company specially prepared a batch for you, etc.
Major, the first injection and extraction test of nanorobots is about to begin, please be prepared. "

Hearing this, Soap nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started."

"Yes."

Seeing Soap put down his hands and got ready, the logistics staff also touched the "Injection" button on the screen.

"Thirty million?" Soap was stunned and then said:
"Oh, okay, I'm ready."

"Forehead!"

"."

As the slight sound of the needle piercing the skin was heard again, the nanorobot flowing in the blood quickly evacuated Soap's body with the help of the needle hole and returned to the dangerous environment combat suit.

"It seems that boss, we are getting closer and closer to the legendary god."

Soap, who was walking in front, looked through the screen at the space doors that exuded a faint luster and looked like mercury mirrors, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, the muscle condition is normal, the bones are normal, and the organs are also normal."

Soap was in agony and squatted on the ground.

"Thank you."

"!!!"

If it is damaged, the company will indeed reimburse the repair costs, but it will also deduct a corresponding proportion from your annual year-end bonus. "

The logistics staff explained the confusion for Soap, then raised his head slightly, looked at Soap through the eye monitor like red sunglasses and said:
"Major, from now on, this dangerous environment combat uniform is your exclusive item.

The logistics staff smiled, then turned to their colleagues wearing mechanical skeletons not far away and said in a louder voice:

The three of them walked through the sky corridor and could directly see that the size had been further expanded to a 41 x 41 meter space door.

The ghost's gaze fell on the altar, the four Astartes statues holding bolters and chain swords, and nodded in response to Soap's emotion.

"Start at 30 million, I remember." The logistics staff returned their gaze to the holographic screen and said:
"Major, now is the time to extract the nanorobots. There may be strong pain during the first time, so please be prepared."

When the progress bar reaches "100%", the pain and itching will gradually subside.

swoosh-

With the very slight sound of the needle piercing the skin, the screen began to display a "20% 40%" progress bar.

After finishing the conversation, the logistics staff and his colleagues left here and went to the warehouse to continue busy with other matters.

When the "extraction" program finished reading the article, Soap seemed to be "reborn", lying slumped on the metal floor and panting:
"Man, this is not intense pain, this is real skin peeling."

"Then may I ask, what is the cost of this combat uniform?"

It didn't take long for the logistics staff to help Soap complete the process of attaching the external armor.

At the same time, Soap under the helmet had a painful expression, feeling like his whole body was being bitten by mosquitoes in an instant.

Seeing Soap nodding, the logistics staff raised their hands and touched "withdraw" without hesitation.

After receiving the signal, four logistics personnel came to Soap who stood up again, and helped Soap install the silver-gray armor made of dwarf stainless steel.

swoosh-

Xiaoqiang, who was walking at the back, was focused on studying their new equipment.

"Alright Major, there are still thirty minutes left before the rendezvous time, which is enough time for you to rush to the frontline base of Universe 09."

"Ah."

The logistics staff looked at the data displayed on the screen and talked to themselves.

"Hey! Working team, help the major install the external armor quickly!"

Perhaps because he was the youngest among the advance team, Xiaoqiang was quite curious about new equipment.

Soap also twisted his neck, shoulders and other joints, joined up with Ghost and Xiaoqiang who had also finished dressing, walked out of the equipment preparation warehouse, and came to the more spacious core area with a space door.

He clenched his fists and danced briefly.

"Haha, Major, after completing the first injection and extraction, you will no longer have the symptoms you have now. Don't worry."

Without external armor, although the combat suit can withstand small-caliber plasma attacks, you should not make too radical moves.

"Only company elites like you, Major, who have been injected with Inquise serum, and genetically enhanced investigators can safely navigate dangerous environment work clothes."

At this moment, Soap felt "refreshed". The combat uniform he was wearing was just like his skin, without any discomfort.

"It's said that the strength can reach the ton level? It has been strengthened so much??" Soap couldn't believe it.

Under the helmet, his eyes flashed with undisguised excitement.

The field of view of the helmet screen is much clearer than that of the previous HEV (hazardous environment work suit), and the dynamic detection and pulse scanning are more accurate and sensitive.

In addition, the "Battery: 100%/1440h" located in the upper right corner of the screen indicates that they can continue to operate for at least three months without replacing the battery.

Although it is far inferior to the original body power armor or the individual soldier-level cold fusion reactor of the titanium tank armor, its three-month "life" has surpassed the AECS's elite McP Power Armor.

Finally got new equipment!
Xiaoqiang looked expectant. It seemed that he wanted to be ready to carry out combat missions as soon as he was deployed to the frontline base.

"Roar--!"

At this moment, a majestic dragon roar interrupted Xiaoqiang's thoughts about what was to come.

?

Hearing the sound, he saw a huge black-scaled dragon with folded wings, slightly frustrated, passing through the seventh space gate (Terra) and arriving at the core of the ruins base.

The radio also promptly warned:
"Mr. Nierenhog, please pay attention to your volume and do not disrupt the daily work of employees. Otherwise, this will affect your year-end evaluation. Thank you for your cooperation."

"I know."

The black-scaled giant dragon named Nilenhog lowered his head and expressed his understanding in a submissive manner.

Then--

Boom!Boom!
Nirenhog, who could cause earthquake-like noises when moving, followed the guidance of the ground crew waving light sticks and passed through the eighth space to the frontline base on the Harvest Star. ? ?
Seeing that huge body disappearing from sight, Soap said:

"I thought the company was really planning to open a theme park to let the public experience the fantasy creatures that are only available in the wizarding world."

"I remember that the company had this intention, but it does not have the conditions to start a business at this stage." Ghost stepped forward and continued to say to his two comrades:

"Besides, even if a theme park is really established, it is impossible to allow giant dragons with combat capabilities to serve as ornamental animals."

"You're right, maybe the boss needs Nilenhog to cooperate with Universe 08's joint action. Hey, Xiaoqiang, let's go, don't fall behind."

Soap reminded Xiaoqiang and followed the ghost to the end of the sky corridor.

Then, the three of them took the maglev elevator and arrived at the front waiting area of ​​the ninth space gate.

"Hey~! I'm so envious of the equipment of your advance team!"

As soon as the three of them left the elevator, the familiar Leroyah sighed.

Moreover, this mixed race of three races also raised his hand to knock on his armor and complained:
"Hey, it's all because of our strong physical fitness. Unless it is customized equipment, it will be difficult to increase the increase in strength and speed."

"Are you complaining or showing off?"

Zao Zao retorted, then turned to Leroya, who was wearing ordinary armor and had a giant sword attached to her back, as well as twenty fully armed Glory warriors, and dozens of AECS and ARS (rapid response) elites, and said in a deep voice:

“Everyone, Commander-in-Chief Clausa has appointed me as the operations commander of this joint task force.

Even when deployed to forward bases, I will be solely responsible for the joint task force's mission.

The company is temporarily unable to allocate excess resources and manpower to the Zero-Nine Universe, so I hope that everyone can stay focused and help the branch establish a foothold in Night City. "

"Yes, sir!"

Leroya immediately cooperated and raised her right hand to make a standard military salute.

"Sir."

With Leroya taking the lead, everyone raised their hands and saluted Soap.

"Major McTavish, although we have plenty of time, we still have to cross the space gate. We can't keep Colonel Price waiting, and he still has urgent tasks that we need to complete."

At this moment, Serin, who was still dressed in the standard Atlas uniform, reminded Soap and took the lead to step on the "mercury mirror".

"let's go."

Soap also gave the order and crossed the space gate with everyone.

A familiar white light flashed.

Xiaoqiang regained his vision and observed through the screen the base centered on the space door, which facilitates the company's operations.

After a day and night of construction, the base has taken shape and various facilities have begun to be put into use.

Xiaoqiang stood there and paused for a few seconds, then followed the others to the vertical take-off and landing apron at the north end.

While traveling, he also used the local network at the base to call up high-altitude aerial views taken by orbiting drones.

According to the aerial view taken by the drone, Xiaoqiang can know the location of the space gate and the base. It is about two hundred kilometers away from the City of Night, deep in the desert in the southeast.

The shielding effect of the space door, combined with the first-built optical camouflage canopy, is enough to ensure that the company will not be detected by local forces.

In addition, he can also judge from the aerial view that Night City is located on the west coast of North America.

The war that must have broken out in Universe 09 destroyed the original Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the local residents re-established gathering places between the two places, which over time developed to the current scale.

It didn't take long.

The group of them followed the message on the screen, "Please take an air vehicle to the Westbrook area of ​​Night City to assist investigators in eliminating local gang members" and arrived at the tarmac.

At the same time, six Black Falcon assault boats that had completed overhaul and maintenance, as well as a transport-type Pelican equipped with optical camouflage and concealment equipment, were starting their engines and waiting for them to board.

Beep-beep-.

With several electronic sound effects coming from the screen, Xiaoqiang discovered that Soap had organized him, Serin, Leroyah, and ten Glory Warriors into the "02" combat group.

Moreover, Soap also conveyed an exclusive order to him: "At all times, the artificial intelligence must not be left out of your sight to ensure its safety."

Seeing this, Xiaoqiang quickened his pace and came to the green triangle "△" marked on the screen, which was not far from Serin's side.

Immediately afterwards, he, Serin, Leroya and the Glory Warriors boarded the Black Falcon assault boat that also had the "02" logo.

Everyone sat down and the hatch was closed.

The ground crew quickly evacuated to a safe area, raised their right hand and extended their thumb towards the cockpit.

Boom~boom——!
Engines roared and dust kicked up.

After receiving the signal and approval from the tower, the pilots controlled their respective Black Falcons and Pelicans to take off one after another.

Then, the transport formation collectively turned around and drove out of the camouflage shelter, exposing it to the scorching sun.

When the pilot turned on the stealth mode, the transport formation completely blended into the sky and disappeared.

in the cabin;
Xiaoqiang, who looked like a muscular man, sat quietly across from Serin who was "closing his eyes and concentrating", observing the so-called latest model of artificial intelligence.

From the appearance alone, it is impossible to tell whether the other party is a human or a soulless machine.

Suddenly, a real-time communication box popped up on the helmet screen.

Price, who was in the command center of the base, habitually wearing a black bunny hat and holding a cigar in his mouth, appeared in front of Xiaoqiang.

"Hoo~!"

Price raised his hand to take off the cigar, blew out the smoke, and told everyone:
"Joint Task Force, your mission to assist investigators in eradicating gangs remains unchanged. They believe that Westbrook is a very suitable city for the establishment of a company branch.

The giant companies and gangs entrenched there have almost a monopoly on everything, and you are all experienced employees with your own judgment. Therefore, I hereby approve the task force's right to fire freely.

However, I still have to remind you that the company's first combat operation in Night City must be faked as a gang war.

As for whether it will affect the company's reputation, Selin will be responsible for handling it, so there is no need to be afraid of anything, let alone those lawless bastards.

Okay, that's all there is to say, this is the frontline base, over. "

After Price finished speaking, he took the initiative to end the video communication without waiting for anyone to reply.

"."

Xiaoqiang, who was accustomed to this, shrugged, and then brought up a close-up aerial view of Night City.

Westbrook is located at the eastern end of Night City, bordering the desert, which is indeed a good place to start.

After browsing the relevant information, Xiaoqiang also learned from Celine to close his eyes and relax, adjust his mentality, and prepare for the "purge" in the near future.
