The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 385: Templar! Hand-rubbing Sky Thunder! Daram Star Spirit!
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. What is going on now?"

Renault treated Ariel as his own sister, so he was usually more doting on her, but he did not realize Ariel's feelings for him.

The perceptive Paul quickly noticed something was wrong. He could tell from Ariel's almost drawn eyes that she was thinking about Renault.

Seeing this, Paul took a half step back and acted like a bystander watching the show.

"As you can see now, the second keystone fragment brought back by Tychus is here. Judging from the trace radiation emitted from its interior, they are indeed a set."

Ariel summarized her analysis.

"Thank you for your hard work. Are there any new discoveries so far?" Renault continued to ask.

Ariel shook her head and responded, "Through my scans and observations, the fragments show no signs of functioning. It seems that only after all the fragments are collected can we know its true function."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the fragments of the key stone contain energy that is beyond our imagination."

"This fragment will soon be transferred to the flagship of the Megacorp. Perhaps their scientific research team can find some new clues."

Ever since the Rangers formed an alliance with the Universal Corporation, Ariel Hansen has received an invitation from the Corporation's scientific research department, where she will have a better chance of realizing her scientific research ideals.

But Ariel, who is obsessed with love, obviously wants to be with Jim Raynor more than realizing her own ideals, so she still stays on the Hyperion to guard this small laboratory.

"Well, I hope they actually work."

Renault looked at the key stone fragment in front of him and said with a heavy heart, when a person has another person living in his heart, he will not pay attention to the person in front of him.

At this moment, Raynor just wanted to collect all the keystone fragments as soon as possible and save the infected Kerrigan.

"Don't worry, our efforts will bear fruit, I can promise you." Paul patted Renault on the shoulder and promised him.

Over the next month, everything went smoothly.

The engineering department of the Universal Corporation quickly established several refineries on the planet Basher for mining and processing terrazine, and found a number of Protoss mechanical devices in the altar left by the Tal'darim.

This will be of great help to giant companies in reverse engineering the Protoss' technology.

However, the most surprising thing was that the Megacorp forces discovered a prison built by the Tal'darim under an altar, where a group of Templars were imprisoned.

Apparently, they were prisoners that the Tal'darim had not been able to transfer in time during their retreat.

Not long after, Paul and Renault, who received the news, rushed here together.

It was a prison that looked like a transparent pyramid, with a dark green psychic barrier isolating a dozen Templars inside.

When they saw Jim Raynor coming, one of the Templars jumped to the edge of the cage with joy and shouted to Raynor:
"Reno! I didn't expect to see you here. Are these people your rangers?"

Raynor once led the Rangers and the Protoss troops to fight against the Zerg, so many Templars know Raynor.

In the Protoss camp, Raynor and his Rangers are considered to be one of the few trustworthy forces. It is no wonder that they are so excited to see old acquaintances coming here.

"Tanis? It's you. How did you get imprisoned here by the Tal'darim? What on earth happened?"

Raynor asked back, it would not be so easy for the Templar to be captured by the Tal'darim. For a moment, he wondered if the other party was pretending to surrender.

"These damn Tal'darim are the scum of the Protoss!"

When it comes to the Tal'darim, Tanis becomes furious and explains the whole story to Raynor.

"Those damned Tal'darim have always relied on stealing and looting the fleets of other Protoss tribes to arm themselves. Our fleet was ambushed by them."

"In order to force us to join the Tal'darim, Naion used Terazine to control our minds. Everyone else has succumbed to the Tal'darim, and only we have persisted until now!"

Hearing this, Paul nodded thoughtfully.

It turns out that terrazine is a drug used by the Tal'darim to brainwash other Protoss and make them join their camp. It is no wonder that they attach so much importance to this resource.

As long as they have this thing, the population of the Tal'darim can be replenished by robbing other Protoss tribes.

After confirming the identities of the prisoners, Raynor turned to Paul and said, "They are definitely the Templars of Aiur, and they are not in the same group as the Tal'darim."

"What are you going to do with these Templars?"

Renault certainly hopes that the Universal Corporation can let these Templars go. After all, they once fought alongside him and could be regarded as comrades who had gone through life and death together.

Paul knew that these Templars belonged to the "Daram Protoss" camp.

This is the mainstream faction of the Protoss camp. For example, the Golden Fleet that appeared earlier is the ace fleet of the Daram Protoss.

Unlike the Tal'darim Protoss, the social structure of the Dar'am Protoss is divided into the classes of law enforcers, templars, Khalai engineers and scientists.

The pursuit of truth and order is their goal, which is in stark contrast to the brutal Tal'darim.

Judging from the current situation, there is no need for the Universal Corporation to come into conflict with the Daram Protoss camp. At least there is no conflict of fundamental interests between the two sides.

"Since they are your old friends, I'll leave it to you to deal with."

Paul took the opportunity to do a favor.

"Thank you." Renault looked at Paul gratefully.

"So how am I supposed to get you out? There aren't any locks here."

Renault looked at this psychic cage and couldn't figure out what it was.

"This barrier can limit the spiritual energy in our bodies. What you need to do most is to find a way to create a gap in it. Then we can recover our strength and break free."

Tanis responded hastily.

For some reason, Paul suddenly felt that this scene was a bit like the scene in "Journey to the West" where the stars drilled the golden bowl to save Sun Wukong.

If you want to be a good person, do it once and for all.

Paul looked at the energy barrier in front of him and volunteered, "Leave it to me."

After he finished speaking, Paul stepped back for a distance and asked the people around him to disperse. He activated the ball lightning device on his wrist and created a "thunder ball" out of thin air.

"What kind of move is this!"

Seeing that Paul had actually rubbed out a ball of thunder, the Templars couldn't help but take a few steps back.

They had never seen this thing before, let alone heard of any human being who could create a thunderbolt!

The power armor reactor on Paul's body was roaring, and the spherical lightning condensed in his palm was gradually compressed into a high-density energy sphere, which seemed to be ready to explode with severe destructive power at any time.

Tanis suddenly became a little panicked. If you didn't know, you would think that Paul was planning to kill them all. How could this ball lightning be so scary?
"Enough, enough, there is no need to use so much energy. If we continue like this, the entire dungeon will collapse!" Tanis reminded quickly.

Of course Paul knew how to keep his distance. He deliberately showed off this operation in front of these Templars. He took the opportunity to show off and establish the prestige of his giant company.

Immediately, ball lightning blasted out from the palm of Paul's hand. After improvements made by the research and development department of a giant company, he could now shoot out this energy ball using a move similar to the Spirit Bomb in Dragon Ball.

It doesn't do much, but it's pretty cool.

The electric arc made sharp crackling sounds in the air, and the ball lightning, with a long tail flame, suddenly hit the psychic barrier.

The moment it touched the ball lightning, a huge electric current instantly covered the pyramid, and the dense electric current lines were like little snakes, entwined around the psychic cage.

This scene made the Templars terrified, fearing that they would also be affected by the ball lightning.

Fortunately, Paul did not intend to hurt them, he just wanted to teach these Templars some lessons.

After all, the attitude of the Protoss towards humans has always been that the strong despise the weak.

Even the seemingly civilized and advanced Darram Protoss still have an arrogant and condescending attitude towards humans.

Otherwise, their Golden Fleet would not have carried out a one-click purification procedure on the Zerg-invaded planet without any communication.

Looking at the entire universe, the only ones who can respect and care for the weak and give them the opportunity to create their own value are the giant corporations.

All other civilized species, without exception, have the desire to bully the weak ingrained in their genes.

That's why Paul decided to "reluctantly" do this whole thing to let the Templars know that humans also have the power to control supernatural powers.

Under the continuous impact of the powerful ball lightning, the psychic barrier quickly overloaded and failed until it completely shattered and disappeared.

The Templars who witnessed the whole process were amazed at Paul's control over energy, which suddenly gave them a new understanding of the human camp.

Just as Paul expected, after seeing his abilities, these Templars became noticeably more respectful towards him.

Out of respect for the strong, Tanis took the initiative to step forward and said: "Thank you for your help, sir. What is your name, and which human camp do you belong to?"

In the process of dealing with humans, the Protoss also did some research on humans and knew that their internal camps were divided into the Rebellion, the Terran Federation, the Earth Alliance and other forces.

"Paul Atreides, Director of the Operations Group of the Universe Vanguard Team of the Development Department of the Global Corporation."

After listening to Paul's self-introduction, Tanis was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful corporate force in the human camp.

Even the Protoss of the Tal'darim are no match for them!

Could it be that the current Land Federation has become the domain of financial oligarchs?

"Thank you, Paul."

"We will sing your heroic deeds in the Kara," Tanis promised Paul.

Khala is the core religious form of the Daram Protoss. They can link their consciousness together to form a huge spiritual network system.

As long as there is a Templar who knows Paul, all the Protoss will also know all the information about Paul through mental sharing. This efficient way of information transmission is also the reason why the Darram Protoss society is relatively united and friendly. After all, everyone can understand each other's thoughts through mental connection.

Paul nodded and then asked, "What are you going to do next? Do you want us to send someone to escort you back?"

"Thank you, I won't bother you any more."

Tanis responded: "As long as we reestablish connection with the Kara, we can call the fleet to pick us up and leave."

"In addition, we will find a way to retaliate and fight back. They have also occupied an abandoned Xel'Naga world ship, where many Protoss compatriots are imprisoned."

"We have to find a way to save them!"

A world ship is an ultra-large space vessel that often has multifunctional features such as scientific research, living, and combat.

For example, the Protoss' super mothership Spear of Adun is a world ship capable of carrying the Dalam Protoss through the "heavenly tribulation".

The scrapped world ship occupied by the Tal'darim was the vehicle used by the ancient Xel'Naga to patrol the Protoss world.

Tanis' words caught Paul's attention, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of these Tal'darim?"

"Ah."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Tanis nodded. "We were originally imprisoned there, but Naion moved us here in order to corrupt us with terazine."

"Are there also artifacts such as key stone fragments on that world ship?" Paul asked successively.

Since the Tal'darim regard the key fragments as their own sacred objects, they must have more than one fragment in their hands.

Although Paul was not sure whether this was the case, his strong intuition told him that given the looting nature of these little scoundrels of the Tal'darim, they might have other fragments.

"I'm not sure if there's what you're looking for there, but from what I know, there is indeed a treasure vault on that world ship."

"I think the Tal'darim should store everything they collect there." Tanis said knowingly.

With these words, Paul immediately determined the next target of action. The place they were about to go to was the abandoned Xel'Naga world ship!
While taking the keystone fragments, the Cosmic Enterprise must also completely eradicate the Tal'darim ruled by Nion. They must either accept the Corporation's amnesty or go to the void to accompany their god Amon.

After all, the giant enterprise has already offended the Tal'darim. If it doesn't hunt them down to the end now, it will only leave itself with a huge threat.

More importantly, this time Paul has discovered a force worthy of an alliance. After the Templar goes back to report the situation here, the Protoss Durham will most likely send troops to provide assistance.

By then, the troops of the Darram Protoss will be able to take on part of the offensive firepower, and if the three-party coalition works together, the integration cost of the giant enterprise can be further reduced!
There has never been such a wonderful start!

Paul immediately made a draft in his mind, preparing to report the entire situation here to the headquarters and plan the subsequent action decisions.

After a while, the released Templars contacted the headquarters and temporarily stayed on the planet Baysher, patiently waiting for the arrival of the Golden Fleet.

The expeditionary force of the Universal Corporation also searched the ruins, altars and other areas on the planet Baysher and seized a lot of supplies.

Here, Li Ang, who is stationed at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, has received news reports from the front line.

Paul made a simple summary of the spoils, core resources and intelligence of this operation and reported it to Leon.

The most important point is that it is possible to use the clue of the Templar to establish more connections with the Darram Protoss camp and win over this ally.

This is a very critical political resource. With the ally of the Darram Protoss, the Universe Corporation can easily accomplish many things in the StarCraft universe.

As for the Protoss, their current task is to stop the Zerg invasion and defend their responsibilities as the next Xel'Naga.

"Boss, can the Protoss really establish a community of interests with us? I doubt it!"

After learning about Paul's idea of ​​establishing diplomatic relations with the Durham Protoss and achieving an alliance, Morgan Blackhand always felt that something was wrong.

There is no need to explain the truth that those who are not of our race must have different hearts.

The attitude of the Protoss species towards humans is probably the same as how humans look at monkeys, and it is absolutely impossible for humans to become allies with monkeys.

During the integration process of the 004 "Halo" universe, humans were the successors chosen by the Forerunner civilization and the chosen ones that everyone expected.

That is why the Universal Corporation was able to attract the Star Alliance at a super low integration cost.

This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. After all, not every human civilization in the universe is qualified to inherit the legacy of the previous "god".

At least in the StarCraft universe, humans do not have this treatment.

"I also support Morgan's idea. Who knows what bad things those Protoss will come up with." Johnny Silverhand also expressed his opinion.

Ott Cunningham, Lucy and others remained silent. They did not know the situation of the Protoss and had no right to speak without investigation. It would not be a problem if they spoke less at this time.

"Sometimes, foreign races are easier to deal with than our own. At least here, the Protoss are far more worthy of an alliance than the Terran Federation and the Earth Alliance."

Li Ang responded to Morgan calmly, Johnny said.

According to the current development of the situation, the Protoss must be the most powerful dominant civilization in this universe.

Whether in terms of identity or technological strength, the Protoss are far superior to the human camp here.

First of all, the Protoss are the successors that the previous Xel'Naga focused on. Whether in terms of talent or qualifications, this civilized species can stand the test.

As long as they follow the evolutionary process slowly, the Protoss will sooner or later cultivate to the perfect state, be listed among the immortals, and ascend to become the new Xel'Naga.

Although the Protoss experienced a series of changes such as the Aeon War and took many detours during their cultivation, which led to the previous Xel'Naga being disappointed with them and leaving.

But the Star Spirits' innate psychic talents have not changed.

This is the same as the top student in the first year of high school who was addicted to games and wasted two and a half years, resulting in poor grades, but it only took others half a year to get back to the top.

His talent is there, and time cannot take it away.

And this is indeed the case. After restoring order, the Protoss formed the Darram camp by combining the Khalai Protoss and the Nerazim Protoss.

They began to re-establish the practice of spiritual integration and communication in the form of Kara's religion.

The ancestral method cannot be abandoned, and relying on this secret book of cultivation, the Darram Protoss has embarked on the path of spiritual sanctification and become a species of pure spiritual power.

As long as they practice along this correct path, the Protoss will sooner or later become the new Xel'Naga, that is, the gods of the "StarCraft" universe!

But now the most critical problem comes. Amon brought his damn Zerg to the three-dimensional universe to make trouble and try to destroy the entire universe.

This is like the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty who had studied hard for ten years and had almost secured first place in the provincial examination. He was just waiting for the results to be announced and he would be appointed as an official, thus reaching the peak of his life.

As a result, Huang Chao led his bandit army into Chang'an!

Today, the situation that the Protoss Daram is facing is that there are Zerg causing sabotage outside and traitors like the Tal'darim who believe in the evil god Amon inside.

The human camp that happened to develop gave them an opportunity to reduce the cost of maintaining stability.

After all, it would be very difficult to eliminate the Zerg relying solely on the power of the Protoss.

It just so happens that humans have also shown certain potential in the process of development, and may be able to become their next successors.

So in the eyes of the Protoss, humans are actually more like monkeys with evolutionary potential.

As to whether he will be enlightened and become Sun Wukong, or remain stubborn and just a mortal monkey, it all depends on the subsequent fate of mankind.

Judging from the current situation, the rangers led by Jim Raynor have the opportunity to put the human camp on the right track.

However, whether it is the Rangers, the Terran Federation, or the Earth Union, the Darram Protoss only talks to humans who can cooperate, and they also need such a helper.

The Universal Corporation has both sufficient energy and is willing to send out signals of cooperation. As long as the Protoss can calculate the costs clearly, they will definitely hope to cooperate with the Corporation.

Even if it's only temporary.

Leon had already figured out the underlying logic of the alliance between Cosmic Corporation and the Protoss, so he acquiesced to Paul's contact with those Templars.

After listening to Leon's analysis, everyone showed a look of enlightenment. No wonder the boss continued to send Paul to carry out this mission. After all, this guy loves to win over allies for giant companies.

Each generation of the captain of the Advance Team of the Universe has his own style of doing things. V's characteristic is that he perfectly executes the tasks assigned by Leon and can handle various complex variable problems along the way.

If the score is based on a 100-point system, V, a natural born archer, would get a full score of .

David Martinez can be seen as the second-generation version of V. His style of doing things is like a precise scalpel, meticulously completing the tasks assigned by Leon.

However, it still lacks some optimization details compared to V, but it can still be given 99 points.

But the young man Paul Atreides is very different. His way of doing things is basically based on Leon's core ideas.

Li Ang's task requirements, after all, are just two points: efficiency and cost control.

Reducing costs and increasing efficiency is the company operation state that every boss desires, but this requires the concerted efforts of the boss and employees.

The boss needs to have vision and determination, and employees need to truly understand the boss's true intentions.

All of these are indispensable to achieve this, otherwise it will only have a negative effect.

But Paul just loves to pull people together to fight monsters while on missions. No matter who they are, as long as the mission can be completed, it's fine.

This happens to be the optimal solution for achieving high efficiency and controlling costs.

Paul is handsome enough. As the saying goes, appearance is justice. This fresh and unworldly handsome guy makes people feel trustworthy at first sight.

This is also the potential reason why Paul has always been able to win allies for giant companies. The first impression is always important.

Therefore, in Li Ang's mind, this child's score can definitely reach 120 points!
At this moment, the executives of the giant companies who realized this were all very clear that Paul's future achievements were limitless.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the first employee of the giant company to surpass V since the establishment of the Vanguard Team of the Universe!
