The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 356: Build the Starkiller! Factory Galaxy! Rescue Leia!
"Reply to Li De immediately and ask him to take full control of Mandalore as soon as possible and deploy the space defense line. I will send reinforcements to assist him in the deployment."

Leon instructed Lucy.

Now that the battle has begun on Mandalore, it is time for the Universal Corporation to prepare for action and officially confront the Galactic Empire head-on!
First, let Reed lead the expeditionary force to unite the local tribes on Mandalore and give the Imperial Army a warning.

Afterwards, they will unite with other Rebel Alliances and the Resistance Army, and launch a surprise attack on the Imperial Army at the same time, thus completing the task of unifying the Star Wars universe and the galaxy in one fell swoop.

Leon believed that as long as Reed could start a war on Mandalore and deal a head-on blow to the Imperial Army, he would reduce the health of the Galactic Empire.

Other forces that are watching the fire from the other side and changing their stance according to the situation will surely make their bets quickly and choose sides.

At that time, Leon will use powerful means to quickly take over the entire "Star Wars" universe.

"Yes."

Lucy nodded in response, and then conveyed Leon's order to Reed on Mandalore.

On the other side, Night City, Watson District!
Paul, who had just woken up from the hibernation capsule and changed into casual clothes, was taken to a shuttle by the Astartes warriors sent by David.

In the cabin of the shuttle, David personally received the hero of the giant enterprise who had returned after his meritorious service.

“It’s been a hard journey.”

David patted Paul's shoulder with relief.

Two months ago, when Paul was sent back to Victor Sanatorium, he was found to have multiple hidden injuries all over his body. If he had not been treated in time, Paul might have become disabled long ago.

Fortunately, after some time of treatment at the medical center, Paul has now fully recovered and is back to being full of energy again.

"What is our latest action plan now? What should I do next?"

Paul asked David out loud that he was also very interested in the force of the Star Wars universe and if the giant company could unify this universe.

Then maybe he could also learn some power of the Force and make himself stronger!

"We are working hard to build the Starkiller Base. We currently have 23 Starkiller projects in the process of synchronous manufacturing. It is expected that the first batch of Starkiller Base megastructures will be officially completed in a month."

David replied.

Thanks to the assistance of Galen Erso, as well as the help of scientists from various civilizations in the Infinite Divine Machine and the Science Hub, the blueprint of Starkiller Base was completely completed in less than a week.

Although the Cosmic Corporation is unable to mine large amounts of Kyber crystals to serve as the energy core that drives the Starkiller Base, it can be replaced with other materials and still inflict similar damage.

"In addition, we have also won over an ally on Mandalore. The final battle between Megacorp and the Empire is coming soon. Now all departments are busy with the reception work after the integration."

"As for you, just stand by for now."

David smiled and asked Paul to accompany him to visit the construction process of Starkiller Base.

Starkiller is a replacement for the giant weapon "Falling Star Spear". It is impossible to produce a celestial-level super cannon like this in the Ideal City.

Therefore, the construction base of Starkiller was chosen in the 004 "Halo" universe, mainly relying on the Ark device that can create Halo to undertake the stellar construction part of Starkiller Base.

The construction tasks of the remaining links will be shared by each department in turn.

Soon, David and Paul, led by Inspector Qiansi Fox, boarded a giant flapping-wing aircraft and entered the factory galaxy of the Starkiller Project.

When you see a star-like ark wrapping around an unknown planet, constantly transforming it and implanting a large amount of pre-programmed deformable metals.

Paul suddenly felt his scalp tingling with shock deep in his soul. This is the power of the group, a miracle that individualism cannot create!

At this moment, Paul was standing on the bridge inside the giant flapping-wing aircraft. He could clearly see the real-time construction process of Starkiller through the holographic screen in front of him or the observation deck.

"Welcome to the Factory System of Starkiller Base!"

Qiansihu introduced Paul with a smile: "Don't be surprised."

The star system they are in now was originally a binary star system, but one of the stars had its energy drained away by a giant enterprise and was shattered into pieces.

Instead, the Ark landed in the orbit of the star.

The Ark is the production base used by the Forerunner civilization in the 004 "Halo" universe to build the Halo array. Since a giant corporation took over the Ark and found a complete manual on the use of the Ark in the think tank.

The engineers of the Science Hub built some megastructures by themselves, such as the Transformer War Moon, the Celestial Transformers, and now the Starkiller Base.

The shuttles flying back and forth in this star system, as well as the shipyards and production areas located on various planets, are all assembly line systems designed to create megastructures.

Food, entertainment, daily necessities and other supplies all need to be maintained by the world's giant corporate trade circle system.

"This place is really spectacular. Two years ago, I thought Ideal City was the largest production base."

Paul kept shaking his head, his inner shock beyond words.

The sight before him could indeed make a person suffering from gigantic fear pass out on the spot. The gigantic factories that occupied his entire field of vision were actually highly developed planets.

Every screw on it serves the purpose of construction. The space that should have been pitch black is actually clearly illuminated by the passing spaceships and towering galaxy lighthouses.

Looking from the bridge, countless shuttles, warships, and spaceships were like small fish on the bottom of the sea, swimming in this sea of ​​stars.

The star system that was originally so desolate that only a pile of rocks and glaciers remained was transformed by a giant company into a factory paradise filled with metal.

Forging and fire are the themes of this star system. Workers from various civilizations gather here to contribute their wisdom and sweat to the giant company.

Although the world's largest companies have reached the forefront of AI automation, they still need sufficient manpower assistance in specific areas.

Of course, many crystal palaces were built in this factory star system for workers to enjoy in their spare time after get off work.

After a hundred years of development, the Crystal Palace has long become a designated place for relaxation and entertainment for the world's giant companies. The contents inside are naturally various extravagant and luxurious projects.

Mewtwo, delicious food, art appreciation, and even the recent popular "Oasis" game among various civilized species to compete for the number one player can all be satisfied at the Crystal Palace.

In the world's giant companies, the most difficult working environment is naturally equipped with the most luxurious and top-notch treatment, which is also the fundamental reason why giant companies can complete integration with high efficiency all the way.

"Is this the Starkiller Base Project? It's much bigger than I thought!"

The giant flapping-wing aircraft that Paul was in had landed inside a Starkiller base that was under construction.

The Starkiller and the Death Star are not much different in appearance. They both use a star as their basic shape, but the internal construction process and technical difficulty are much higher than before.

If a giant corporation were to develop the Starkiller Base on its own, it would have to dismantle the Death Star first and study its internal principles and structure.

Even under the most ideal conditions, it will take five years. If we proceed under the current conditions and normal state, it will take 5 years.

But Leon didn't want to wait so long in vain, so he sent Paul to complete the task of stealing the technical information of Starkiller Base.

"Yes, the area we are in now is the main gun port of Starkiller Base. The bottom of the 20,000-kilometer-long tunnel is the source of power that is enough to destroy a star system."

While responding to Paul, Qiansi Fox also cast his gaze towards the bottomless abyss. It won't be long before he will be thrown into the "Star Wars" universe battlefield.

One shot fired, destroying the core galaxy area of ​​the empire!
Paul took a deep breath and calmed down a little before continuing, "Such a huge project must be very troublesome."

"The construction of the project was not that difficult. However, the demolition and relocation process that occurred was quite difficult."

Qiansihu smiled bitterly: "Just by selecting suitable planets, we destroyed no less than 20 star systems and messed up the orbits of the stars there."

"In order to compensate the local civilized population, we can only promise to provide them with a new homeland and preferential welfare policies for world trade."

"Some of these wealthy people who were relocated have settled in Utopia through connections and trickery, while the less wealthy have gone to Reach, and the worst have settled near Kaitan in the Dune universe."

"The most troublesome thing during this period is to migrate new civilized species. The logistics department has been troubled by this."

The resource replacement and population mobility caused by demolition are the biggest hidden costs behind it.

As for the manufacturing of the megastructure, thanks to the giant company's high degree of AI automation and the convenience of deformable metal, it is not that troublesome.

Hearing this, Paul shook his head in a helpless manner. He actually hoped that these civilized species would refuse his toast and then be punished, so he would just throw a neutron at them and kill them all once and for all.

Unexpectedly, the aliens were particularly friendly and set their sights on the giant enterprise. Relying on this wave of demolition benefits, they led the entire civilization to take off collectively.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Paul held it in for a long time and could only say helplessly.

The world's giant companies have always been very good at fighting, and have rarely fought large-scale, stalemate-inducing battles.

The only thing that has been done is to maintain stability in the rear and coordinate the various ethnic groups and civilizations.

As a grassroots soldier who had participated in counterinsurgency and rear-area suppression operations, Paul knew very well how terrifying the difficulty of managing the universe faced by the giant corporations was.

Their boss, Leon, is able to start this gigantic super-civilization machine and drive this huge global corporation, and he is already a god-like politician.

A natural born political animal and a leader of a unique level, this is the best interpretation of Leon!

"Fortunately, most of the engineering links have been completed. If nothing unexpected happens, we can complete the project on schedule."

Qiansi Fox said with a sense of relief.

These days, he and his giant enterprise employees have been spending a lot of energy to complete the giant structure of Starkiller Base.

Paul stared at the nearly completed Starkiller Base, and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked Qiansi Fox:
"I heard that both the Death Star and Starkiller Base require Kyber crystals, but we don't have that many Kyber crystals as energy drive cores, so what should we do?" In Paul's impression, just building an ordinary Death Star requires a lot of Kyber crystals, otherwise the Galactic Empire would not be so crazy in exploiting crystal resources.

Currently, the Universal Corporation does not have control over the mines that can produce Kyber crystals, so where would it get the crystals to power so many Starkiller bases at the same time?

In response, Qiansi Fox just smiled and said: "We don't need to use Kyber crystals to drive Starkiller, because we have other alternatives."

Qiansihu patiently explained to Paul.

The main operating principle of Starkiller Base is to absorb stellar energy and dark energy, compress it into phantom energy and blast it out. The principle of [Falling Star Spear] is exactly the same.

Therefore, when building the Starkiller base, we can fully utilize the construction experience and process of Falling Star Spear, although the final result is that Starkiller is not as good as Falling Star Spear.

But it is very similar to the original Starkiller Base. At least it is more than enough to defeat the Imperial Army.

After listening to this, Paul nodded thoughtfully. If this was the case, then if they gave Universal Corporation more time, they would be able to mass-produce the Starkiller Base.

A giant weapon that can destroy a star system, the deterrent power of giant enterprises is getting stronger and stronger!

Just when Paul wanted to visit the Starkiller Base with Qian Sihuduo, David suddenly received an urgent message from the front headquarters.

His face darkened, and he said to Paul seriously: "Paul, it seems that we have to end the vacation early, you have work to do!"

Three hours later.

Paul left the factory star system of the 004 "Halo" universe and urgently returned to the front-line base headquarters of the 007 "Star Wars" universe.

In the conference room at headquarters, he met the members of the Rogue One team.

When Captain Cassian Ando saw Paul, he rushed over to him anxiously as if he had seen a savior, and said, "Paul, we can only rely on you for help this time!"

"What's going on?" Paul asked with a frown.

"It was Darth Vader! He took Princess Leia away. When the Tantive IV was passing by Tatooine, it was captured by the nearby Executor."

"Princess Leia will soon be taken back to the Death Star to be interrogated by Vader. We don't have much time left!"

Captain Cassian was extremely anxious. The longer Princess Leia was imprisoned by the Empire, the more likely it was that the location of the Rebel Alliance headquarters would be leaked.

The current rebels do not have enough power to fight against the Death Star. The Battle of Scarif two months ago caused heavy losses to the Rebel Alliance.

Moreover, an admiral died, and now they have less than a hundred fighter planes left!

Hearing Cassian's words, David couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards the plight of the Rebel Alliance.

It seems that the Battle of Scarif did deal a heavy blow to the Rebel Army. When the battle first broke out, the Rebel Army's fleet still had several light frigates and hundreds of various fighter planes.

And a fairly good cruiser, the Raddus.

As a result, the rebels now have less than a hundred fighter planes left, and with such limited air force strength, they are simply unable to compete with the Imperial Army.

The rebel allies were forced to come to the Universe to ask for help from the giant corporation, hoping to help them rescue Princess Leia.

Logically speaking, the Rebel Alliance fought alongside the Corporation in the Battle of Scarif to fight against the Galactic Empire, and even sacrificed themselves to help the Corporation divert the attention of the Executor.

When the other party is in danger, we should lend a helping hand, but from the perspective of the overall situation, now is not the time for giant companies to dispatch large-scale troops.

After all, Starkiller Base is still under construction, and before it is officially completed, the Universe Corporation is not suitable for an all-out war with the Galactic Empire.

"We have to consult our boss about this."

After that, David contacted the headquarters of the Wanjie Base and explained the situation there to Leon.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ang agreed to the request to help, but he could only send a small number of combat troops to avoid alerting the enemy.

[Let Paul take charge of this matter. He can choose whoever he wants as his assistant.]

Li Ang gave the order.

According to the original plot, Princess Leia would meet her brother Luke Skywalker while being arrested, and the two siblings would then join hands to escape from the Death Star.

However, the emergence of the world giant has brought great influence and interference to the "Star Wars" universe.

Leon was not sure whether the captured Princess Leia could still meet her brother Luke Skywalker.

What if this guy went to Mandalore to watch the fun? Who knows?

So Leon decided to let Paul take action personally to ensure that the rebels rescued Princess Leia.

This can be regarded as a reward for Admiral Raddus who sacrificed his life to cover the smooth retreat of the dreadnought. Otherwise, the current Universal Corporation might have already gone to war with the Empire.

After Leon finished speaking, Paul nodded and expressed his willingness to take on this new task. Captain Cassian immediately felt relieved.

In his eyes, Paul is still the omnipotent Force warrior. As long as Paul takes action, there is nothing he can't do.

Immediately, Captain Cassian told Paul about the action plan he had already planned: "We have an Imperial cargo shuttle that can take us to Tatooine."

"If we're lucky enough, the Executor will stay there for a while to resupply. We can take the opportunity to sneak up and rescue Princess Leia."

After listening to Casian's sloppy improvisation plan, David and Paul frowned at the same time. This was too outrageous no matter how you looked at it.

If the Executor does not choose to stay on Tatooine, then they will have no choice but to follow it all the way to the Death Star!

But the situation is urgent now, and they don't have any better ideas for the time being. They can only try their best and lead a team to rescue people as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll bring two more people with me. Together with you Rogue One members, we should have enough manpower for this rescue."

Paul knew very well that it would be best to bring fewer people with him in this rescue operation in order to rescue Princess Leia, so he decided to take the Master Chief and Chinnie with him.

The current Master Sergeant John 117 is already the top character among the Spartan warriors. The number of counterinsurgency missions he has completed in various universes is no less than that of Paul.

With the help of the Master Chief, this operation would surely go much more smoothly.

"That's great! As long as you are willing to help, this won't be a difficult task!" Captain Cassian grinned excitedly.

For this operation, Paul does not intend to ask Universal Corporation to provide him with much off-field help, as this may easily alert the enemy.

At this stage, the giant corporations in the universe still need to concentrate their strength, actively prepare for war, build the Starkiller Base, and strive to achieve results on the front battlefield.

Minor local disturbances cannot change the general trend.

Immediately, Paul left the headquarters conference room and contacted the Master Chief who was on duty in the 006 "Transformers" universe through the communicator on the center console and explained the situation.

"I'm sorry to disturb your leisurely duty life, John, but I really need your help now. I hope you can come as soon as possible."

[Of course, I'll be there soon.]

The Master Chief is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much. He never knows what refusal means. As long as it is a task assigned by his superiors, the Master Chief will carry it out unwaveringly.

And this time is no exception.

As for Chini, Paul didn't need to waste his breath on her. They were old combat partners and had long since gotten along well with each other. Naturally, she was indispensable in this operation.

When Paul and Chinny went to the logistics department to select equipment and weapons, they met Panny and Sam. After learning about this, they said with concern:

"Paul, if you need us, we can always lead the entire expeditionary fleet to support you. Let me tell you in secret that I still have the authority to call upon a Hyperion."

"That's right! I have a very close relationship with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and the others. As long as you give the order, I can bring the Transformers to help you solve the problem at any time!"

Sam patted his chest.

Seeing these two loyal partners, Paul shook his head in a helpless manner. He didn't want to cause them to make mistakes because of him.

Using public property for personal purposes is a serious crime!

"No need, it's just a small matter. The Chief, Chinni and I can handle it. Just wait for my triumphant return."

Paul knew that the day of the decisive battle between the Universal Corporation and the Universal Corporation was getting closer and closer. At this critical moment, the presence of the Universal Corporation should be reduced as much as possible.

Previously there was the Battle of Scarif, and now there is an uprising on Mandalore. If a large-scale battle breaks out on Tatooine again.

Even if the Galactic Empire was slow to react, it should have realized that there was a powerful force secretly manipulating forces throughout the galaxy to rebel.

What's more, the Universe Corporation has already exposed so many powerful warships in front of Darth Vader and Tarkin.

Even if the giant corporation showed weakness to the Imperial Army for a while, there was no guarantee that Palpatine would not start focusing on the research and development and manufacturing of Starkiller Base in order to be on the safe side.

Whenever the Imperial Army builds the first Starkiller Base, it will bring huge trouble to the Universal Corporation.

So it’s better to keep a low profile as much as possible and not cause trouble for the headquarters.

"You guys just stay at the headquarters and wait for orders. When the Starkiller Base is completed, we will have plenty of opportunities to fight together."

"But before that, I will find a way to let the Rebel Alliance distract the Empire's attention so that they won't be able to pay attention to our situation."

Paul spoke to the two people in front of him earnestly, like a mature elder brother, but in fact, he was even one year younger than Panny, who had just graduated from college.

As for the Master Chief, he is even younger. He started fighting at the age of eight. He is not yet eighteen years old, but he is already a leading figure in the Spartan troops!
