From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 305 Temporary Compound No. 2018 Terminator ?

Ri~Boom.Boom!!!

Several unmanned aerial vehicles were blown up by the blue laser rays and turned into fireballs and fell from the sky.

?

This sudden change immediately made the metal skeletons that were focusing their fire on AECS and David and the strange tank with the "T" shaped turret notice Alan who was releasing the laser beam.

Moreover, the machine army, without any hesitation, allocated corresponding forces to prepare to deal with Alan who destroyed their air force.

Da da da!
call out!call out!
The rotating machine gun used by the Metal Skull and the energy artillery fired by the strange tank instantly covered Alan's position.

At this moment.
Ting——Ting! !
The unique noise of the Gauss machine gun was mixed in between the various attacks.

The Falcon assault boats, following Xiaoqiang's instructions, began to launch air fire strikes on the strange tanks and large machine units.

The 20mm caliber Gauss Spike Cannon is enough to penetrate and tear apart ground armor without energy shields.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the six AECS in the low building, as well as David, Lucy and synth No. 7, also opened fire at the seemingly "confused" metal skeleton.

The main thing is
Ri~Swoosh————! ! !
Allen, who was covered by firepower, rushed out of the smoke "unharmed" and continued to shoot high-energy lasers emitting blue light at the robot army besieging the abandoned elementary school.

However, Allen's bulletproof combat suit and the weapons and equipment hanging on his body were riddled with holes due to the fire coverage just now and could no longer be used.

There were also shallow bruises on the skin and face exposed outside the clothes.

So he was not completely unscathed, but these minor injuries had no effect on Alan's movements.

And looking at Allen's body defense combined with the activated "Cyclops", it is exactly the same as the biological weaponized Homelander.

In fact, this is the result of special improvement and research and development by the Biological Department.

After Atlas used physical means to disintegrate Water International and recruited Jonah Vogelbaum, who was responsible for the development of Compound No. 5, he began to develop a temporary Compound No. 5 based on the investigator's special physique.

You should know that each investigator has been injected with expensive nanorobots to "write" the information of the 24th pair of chromosomes into the genes in order to achieve enhancements in physical fitness, reaction and other aspects.

The "product" that Water International is most proud of is the motherland's people who have not yet been transformed into biological weapons.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the "randomness" of Temporary Compound No. 5, that is, the recipients of the injection gain random superpowers, Jonah Vogelbaum plans to "customize" the corresponding medicine based on the data of the researchers in Homelander and the use of Atlas' nanotechnology.

In other words, Temporary Compound No. 5 looks like a "liquid medicine", but that is just the dispersion medium carrier for the nanorobots, used to ensure that they are evenly distributed in the liquid.

After injection, these disposable nanorobots will temporarily program the corresponding abilities of the motherland into the genes of the injector to realize the "designated" potential stimulation.

That's why, Eren gets a body of steel, and Homelander's iconic Cyclops.

The key to Atlas's ability to mass-produce medicines lies in Angela Ziegler Cage, director of the Nano Department of the Biological Department and person in charge of genetic seeds, who effectively controls the cost of mass production.

Although it is impossible to enable all armed units of the company to use the nanorobots that can program the information of the 24th pair of chromosomes and the temporary compound No. , it is more than enough to distribute them to more than investigators.

When the empire is established, nearly 60,000 ARS (rapid response) elites will also undergo “secondary” reinforcement.

After all, the ARS were all injected with the relatively low-cost Inquis serum.

Of course, despite the potential stimulated by the injection of temporary compound No. 5, the overall quality is still far from that of the people in our motherland.

If they could really reach or surpass Homelander, the Biology Department wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to continue strengthening Soldier Boy and Homelander.

What's more, temporary compound No. 5 has restrictions on use and can cause permanent damage to investigators.

Even if used once, it will invisibly consume the investigator's lifespan.

Furthermore, if an ordinary person who has not undergone genetic modification is injected with temporary compound No. 5, the result will be either death or disability.

As for how to obtain these detailed data, it naturally depends on the company's most outstanding "employees" -

D-level personnel.

At this moment, Alan took advantage of the time to obtain the basic abilities of Homelander and rushed to the abandoned elementary school that was under siege.

Then continue to use Cyclops to quickly deal with hundreds of metal skeletons.

Even if the strange tanks with "T"-shaped turrets and those spider-like robots that moved equally fast fired energy balls of different calibers at him, he could dodge them with his super reaction or resist with his super physique.

Alan now is like a "low-profile" version of Homelander who cannot fly.

In less than half a second, all the machines besieging the abandoned elementary school were destroyed by Alan alone.

The remaining members of Team 13 witnessed the entire process of Alan solving the problem of the machine through the cracks in the building and the broken windows.

A middle-aged soldier pinched his cheeks hard, looking a little dazed.

!

After feeling the pain and confirming that he was not dreaming, he said to his comrade beside him in surprise:

"Oh my god, is that guy still human? Why does he look exactly like a superhero in a comic book?"

"Comics? Superheroes?"

Hearing the middle-aged soldier's sigh, another young soldier looked confused and seemed to have no idea what comics and superheroes were.

"That was entertainment before Judgment Day."

The middle-aged soldier looked melancholy.

Then, when they saw Allen continuing to walk quickly toward the abandoned elementary school, they immediately became alert and pointed their live ammunition firearms at Allen.

Although Alan successfully helped them out, the strong fighting power he displayed also made them deeply fearful.

Who knows if Allen is Skynet's newest infiltration terminator?
Their resistance army has been deceived by Skynet countless times, and the most recent deception allowed Skynet to wipe out the resistance army headquarters hiding in the sea.

So when facing Allen, they had a reaction similar to "post-traumatic stress disorder".

Not to mention that Allen has also demonstrated extraordinary combat capabilities.

According to their knowledge, it is impossible for humans to shoot "lasers" from their eyes on their own, so who else could it be except Skynet?

However, when Allen arrived at the front gate of the abandoned elementary school, he used his "X-ray vision" to confirm that there were only the remaining resistance soldiers and a hundred children in the building. He then raised his thumb to indicate the location of the middle-aged soldier.

Then, Alan used his ability to run fast and disappeared from the sight of the middle-aged soldier and others.

Subsequently
Ri~——咻——! !

The laser emitting dazzling blue light once again shines in the southern suburbs of Bakersfield.

Boom. Boom.!

The sounds of the machine army that posed a threat to other resistance forces being destroyed and detonated by lasers began to be heard.

It seemed that Allen wanted to eliminate all nearby threats once and for all within a limited time. After a while, Bakersfield returned to peace.

The sound of gunfire and artillery fire all stopped.
-
As for David, who was in the low building, he was completely stunned.

Through the holographic screen of the electronic eye, combined with the images taken by the Falcon assault boat, David was able to see the entire process of Alan destroying the entire machine army.

"Good guy"

After confirming that the threat to Bakersfield had been resolved, David couldn't help but whisper to Lucy beside him:
“With such a powerful force in just one investigator, it’s no wonder the company can dominate so many multiverses.

That is to say, our 09th Universe (Cyberpunk) is relatively weak overall, and it is not in a doomsday context, so it was routinely integrated by the company. "

"."

Hearing this, Lucy just shrugged.

Then she saw the screen showed that there were still 4 minutes left before the support arrived, so she turned slightly to look at Synth No. 7 not far away and said:

“Just now, Lieutenant Sanderson and Agent Allen obtained relevant information about the universe.

The humans here seem to have a deep hatred for machines and claim that Skynet is the artificial intelligence that launched Judgment Day."

Lucy didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear, which is, "You synths are also a branch of artificial intelligence. What do you think about the fate of Universe 10?"

Hearing Lucy's words, Synth No. 7 said bluntly:
“My kind and I serve humanity and regard Boss Suiyang as the highest decision-maker.

In order to protect the safety of humans under Atlas' jurisdiction, we will do everything we can to enforce it, but we will never start a rebellion."

As the synths were talking, Xiaoqiang's order came over their communication channel:

"AECS and test force members, escort the synths to the marked location and conduct on-site analysis of the machine wreckage to obtain more intelligence."

"receive."

The AECS sergeant responded, stood up and said to everyone:
"You all heard the lieutenant's order! Move your butts and move! I don't want to give the credit that is about to be in my hands to the support troops!"

"Yes! Sergeant!"

Members of AECS's special forces responded one after another.

The responses from David, Lucy, and Synth No. 7 were not as powerful as those from the AECS.

Next, they quickly evacuated the low building that served as a shelter and headed towards the location marked on the screen, which was the eastern outskirts of the abandoned shopping mall.

After arriving at the marked location.

David saw him carrying a compound bow on his back and squatting next to a relatively intact metal skeleton.

Seeing this, AECS was responsible for vigilance and defense.

Synthetic Man No. 7 came to Xiaoqiang's side without any orders.

She was also half-squatting on the ground, but the eyes of Synthesizer No. 7 were flickering, indicating that she was scanning the metal skeleton.

He even said to himself:
“The humanoid skeleton is made of titanium alloy and weighs about 360 kilograms. According to its design, it should be able to lift five times its own weight.

As for the running speed, well, we will have to wait until the research department replicates them and conducts tests to find out."

As he spoke, Synth No. 7 stretched out his left hand, easily flipped the nearly -kilogram giant, and squinted at the back of its neck.

On the lower side of the metal head, the words "Terminator Series/T-600Model" are printed.

"Terminator."

David, who has electronic eyes, can also clearly see the words on the lower side of the head.

Combined with what the Resistance Army said about "infiltration-type Terminators" and "guys in human skins", David instantly guessed that Skynet might have some kind of Terminator similar to a synthetic human.

That is, the skin, internal organs, and brain are living things, but the skeleton is made of alloy metal.

Thinking of this, David glanced at Lucy, obviously thinking about the conversation between Lucy and Synth No. 7.

Because "AI rebellion" is a controversial topic both in the main universe and in the Halo universe.

But the Universe 10 they faced had actually seen an artificial intelligence rebellion.

Besides, he is a local resident of "Cyberpunk: 2077" and has more or less known about the "data collapse" incident that broke out during the Fourth Corporate War.

The root cause was a radical hacker who "accidentally killed himself" and released a highly destructive electronic virus into the cyber world. In order to stabilize the situation, major companies and governments were forced to release military-grade AI.

But affected by the virus, these military-grade AIs have also begun to go "crazy."

The AI ​​that was originally intended to serve humans has developed self-awareness. It is cruel, stubborn, and violent, constantly replicating itself and invading the cyber world.

If it continues to develop, Cyberpunk will also face the end of the world.

In the end, an organization called "Network Watch" set up a "black wall" to isolate the crazy AI from the safe network and avoid a complete collapse of order.

The battle just now made David realize what kind of threat the machine army poses to mortal humans.

If the synths, and intelligent AIs like Serin with self-awareness, rebel and quickly take control of the company's tyrants, clones, and various unmanned vehicles, especially the Sojourner-class dreadnoughts,
Then it would be a devastating disaster for all human beings in the universe.

But Synth No. 7 didn't know what David and the people around him were thinking.

She scanned the back of the Terminator T-600 model, uploaded its structural diagram to the front-line base, and then disassembled the T-600 model's metal head with her bare hands.

In the blink of an eye, the core body of the T-600 - the central processing unit - was taken out.

Synthesizer No. 7 gently pinched the processor with the index finger and thumb of her left hand, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

It's like saying, "How does this old-fashioned thing support the various operations of the T-600?"

At this time, everyone's holographic screen showed a large number of assault boats, transport boats and two Swift Shadows belonging to the company, which were about to arrive at their area.

Swish—shua—!
In addition, ghost fighters also roared as they flew low over the sky, deliberately making sonic booms that could be heard throughout Bakersfield.

The resistance fighters and surviving civilians hiding in the ruins came to the ground after hearing the noise, and then looked out to the southern sky, where there were a large number of various flying vehicles.

Shortly after.

In the "upper end" of the Milky Way in the "Halo" universe, in the star system formerly controlled by the Covenant, is the combined fleet of the Atlas Elite.

Apparently, control of the star system has changed hands.

In the exclusive office cabin of the New Era aircraft carrier, Sui Yang was sitting behind an enlarged fixed desk, browsing the 10 Universe.
In other words, there is a high probability that it is relevant information about the "Terminator: 2018" universe.
