The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 407: Warhammer! The old man on the golden toilet! The human empire!
In this catastrophic war in heaven, the Old Ones were crushed by the Necrontyr and the C'tan, but the two sides had no time to divide the fruits of victory.

The sixth Star God secretly devoured the souls of the Necrontyrs. The final result was the fall of the gods, and all the god-level civilizations were severely damaged.

Under this delicate balance of power, the Milky Way entered a period of peaceful development.

During this period, humans undoubtedly stood out as the civilized species.

At that time, humans had developed technology to a certain level. While exploring the universe, they discovered a high-dimensional channel called "subspace".

There, humans can use warp magic, which is beyond the physical universe, and this magic is also called "psychic power."

In addition, humans can also use subspace to achieve superluminal travel and break through the barriers of time and distance.

From then on, mankind officially entered a golden age of territory expansion!

At that time, humans had developed technology to the extreme. Whether it was machinery or genetic modification, humans were just one step away from ascending to heaven.

It can be said that humans at that time were infinitely close to the ancient saints!

It’s a pity that the collapse of a building always catches us off guard.

Suddenly, an AI crisis broke out among humans. The endless army of iron men almost overturned all civilized species in the galaxy.

At this critical moment, humans could only temporarily cooperate with the hostile civilization, the Eldar. Eventually, the two sides reached an alliance and defeated the Iron Man Army, and from then on humans no longer trusted AI intelligence.

There are many possible reasons for the Iron Man Rebellion, such as electronic demon contamination in the warp, or AI developing self-awareness and no longer willing to submit to humans.

But no matter what, this is a landmark event that marks the end of the golden age of mankind.

Because more and more problems will start to emerge!
After the end of the Iron Man Rebellion, an unprecedented storm occurred within the Warp, and more than half of humanity's Warp routes were destroyed.

And after the storm, the warp finally revealed its original horrific appearance.

It turns out that the warp of the Warhammer universe is not a simple faster-than-light channel, but an abstract and chaotic high-dimensional space composed of psychic energy.

It has an inextricable relationship with the material universe, and any emotions in the material universe will be projected into the subspace.

The emotions and beliefs generated by these intelligent creatures gathered in the subspace will awaken a god!
The most noteworthy thing is that there is no concept of time in the subspace. Every time a new god appears, that god will appear on all timelines.

The most representative gods in the Warp are the Four Chaos Gods: Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch.

Psykers who practice psychic powers in the material universe leave their own projections in the warp, which attract demons like torches.

The demons can tear apart psychics at any time, open a chaos gate, and rush into the material universe to kill.

It can be said that the subspace is full of evil gods and demons. There are only two possibilities for mankind to usher in a golden age without being doomed.

The first possibility is pure luck.

The second possibility is that the evil gods in the subspace are raising pigs scientifically and will kill humans after they have fattened them up.

In this way, after experiencing the Iron Man Rebellion, human civilization was slaughtered by the demons of the Warp, and the Golden Age came to an end.

Human civilization was rapidly declining, just like the Tang Dynasty after the An-Shi Rebellion. Just when humanity was on the verge of extinction, an old golden man named "Emperor" appeared!
He is an immortal, a witness to the Golden Age of Humanity, possesses powerful psychic powers, and is the most powerful warrior in human history.

Create Thunder Warriors, ally with the Mechanicus, unify the chaotic and divided human camp, reopen the Warp lanes, and fight against demons and evil gods.

In order to make human civilization great again, the Emperor decided to launch a massive galactic crusade to unify the Milky Way and establish a true human empire.

So he used genetic engineering and the power of the Warp to create 21 Primarchs and transformed the Astartes Legion into one with more stable combat capabilities.

Each of these 21 Primarchs possesses unique skills and are all powerful sons of the Emperor. The Emperor's expedition to conquer the world depends on the help of these sons.

But the evil god in the warp bewitched the mother of the Primarch, Erda, the mother of the Primarch.

Eventually, the evil god used the Warp Storm to throw these Primarchs to human worlds throughout the galaxy.

Because the subspace channels were destroyed, humans scattered throughout the galaxy basically acted independently and developed different cultures and political regimes.

After the Emperor finally found these genetic Primarchs after going through untold hardships, he found that each Primarch had a different personality due to their different growth environment and original family.

Some are arrogant and conceited, some are perverted and cruel, some are gloomy and silent, and some are irritable and easily angered. In short, each one is abnormal in his own way.

This also posed a huge hidden danger to the emperor.

Because of the character flaws of the Primarchs themselves, nearly half of them were bewitched by the evil gods of the Warp.

So under the leadership of Crown Prince Horus, the Primarchs led their respective troops in rebellion!
But even with the current situation, the civil unrest in the empire is still not a big problem, and the remaining loyalists can still fight.

The most fatal point is that the Emperor is currently studying the webway left by the ancient saints.

This is a great thing that can replace subspace navigation. As long as we can figure it out, the Human Empire will be able to rely on other superluminal channels and continue its previous golden age!

But at this moment, the four Chaos Gods in the Warp designed to frame Magnus, one of the Primarchs.

The emperor's hard work was destroyed.

The webway pierced by the evil god of the warp opened a chaos gate, and countless demons rushed out, turning the Terra Palace into a hell on earth.

The Emperor could only deal with the Chaos Astartes Legion of his filial son Horus while fighting against the evil gods and demons.

In the end, seriously injured, he returned to the Golden Throne and relied on the stasis field to keep himself in a half-dead state and maintain the operation of the Astronomican.

The Astronomican is an important lighthouse that guides the human fleet through the warp. Without it, the human empire will fall further into chaos and collapse.

In this way, the emperor became an old man with high amputation and lost his family.

The Primarchs each chose their own ending from death, rebellion, slumber, or disappearance.

After learning about the main plot lines of the Warhammer universe, executives from major companies had a heated discussion.

The focus of everyone's discussion was naturally the emperor with a very strong presence.

"The Emperor was indeed very powerful when he was young. He unified Holy Terra, and the Great Crusade also made mankind great again."

"But he later made a mistake and insisted on launching the Webway Project. He seriously neglected his own Primarchs, which indirectly led to civil unrest in the galaxy."

"Although the rebellion was quelled, it still caused great losses to human civilization, and the threat from the warp is still expanding." "He can only sit on the Golden Throne forever to suppress these evil energies, and the golden age of mankind is completely gone. My evaluation is 30% merits and 70% demerits."

At this time, Lucius expressed his opinion of the Emperor. As a veteran who was well versed in officialdom, he was much more motivated to avoid mistakes than to achieve success.

To describe Lucius' governing style in one sentence, it is that he would rather do nothing than make mistakes, and maintaining stability is the top priority.

"The most critical issue now is that the Warhammer universe is a universe with an extremely high danger index, which is far beyond our control."

Margaret, the director of the Joint Logistics Bureau, said in a deep voice that as the head of a department that specializes in doing dirty work for giant corporations, she is well aware of this universe with complex power distribution and chaotic situation.

How much pressure will it bring to the integration of giant enterprises!

The complexity of the Star Wars universe alone is enough to give them a headache, let alone the Warhammer universe.

I'm afraid that the government system of the world's giant companies will collapse under the high pressure!
The senior executives of the development department, represented by V, also fell silent at this time.

The Warhammer universe is indeed quite tricky. There are too many civilized species there, and each one is difficult to deal with.

The orcs, who rely on asexual reproduction through spores and can write knowledge and technological information into their genes, once ruled the Milky Way, served as the younger brothers of the Old Saints, and are the Eldar who inherited some of the Old Saints' technological points.

As well as forces such as the Necrons, Tyranids, and the Tau Empire.

Add to that the four little ones in the subspace, and from the perspective of the navy, this battle is indeed difficult to fight. Even if it is won, the subsequent cost of maintaining stability will be quite high.

In the face of the fierce comments from the logistics team and the silent pioneering team, the scientific hub team represented by Ott Cunningham stood up and expressed their opinions:

"Everyone, we must take down this universe!"

Otto looked around at everyone with different expressions. The reason why she insisted on integrating the Warhammer universe was very simple.

That is the golden age of human civilization in the Warhammer universe, which has mastered too many black technologies, and these are technologies that the world's giant companies have never unlocked.

For example, time technology.

Humans in the Golden Age possessed time guns that could manipulate time, disintegrate targets from the entropic level, or collapse targets into black holes.

An erasure gun that can delete events that happened within a second from history, and a time teleporter that can send enemy fleets back to the past.

There is even time travel technology that allows the fleet to jump millions of years in a row on the timeline.

Control time, these four words have unparalleled appeal to scientists at the Science Hub!

In addition to mature time technology, they also possess a large number of destructive weapons.

Including but not limited to star extinguishers with a diameter of 81 kilometers, ship-borne black hole weapons, supernova catalysts, planetary doomsday energy flow generators, etc.!

It can be said that compared with conventional weapon systems alone, both the Cosmic Corporation and humans in the Golden Age have the ability to destroy star systems.

The gap in strength between the two sides is not that big.

If the Warhammer universe could be integrated and the technological points of mankind in the Golden Age could be inherited, then the Universal Corporation would truly become a genuine "god-level civilization"!
Transforming the universe and reshaping the physical constants will not be far away.

This is the closest a global giant has ever been to achieving a quantum leap forward, and we cannot give up easily no matter what.

Conservatives, centrists, and radicals all expressed their own opinions on this issue, and no one was willing to give in.

After a while, the newly promoted Interstellar Governor David Martinez raised his hand and voted: "I agree with Director Ott's opinion."

In David's opinion, the main danger to the Warhammer universe comes from the evil gods in the warp.

Although there are subspace channels or other superluminal channels in other universes of the Universe Enterprise, these high-dimensional spaces are simply unable to support creatures like evil gods.

Evil gods like the Four Chaos Gods also need energy-rich high-dimensional space areas to satisfy their own "divine power".

The only universes that meet the living conditions of the four little ones are the void plane in "Starcraft" and Endor in "Star Wars".

But how could the four Chaos Gods, these foreign gods, defeat the two local gods Kerrigan and Amon? It would be easy for them to lose their combat effectiveness if they were not used to the local climate.

As for Endor...

Not to mention that.

Even Leon didn't dare to send anyone to provoke the magic bears there. When the Four Chaos Gods went there, they were taught a lesson by the two-dimensional bears in every minute.

Therefore, even if the worst possibility occurs, it will not directly threaten the home country of the global giant.

Besides, Ott Cunningham was right.

There are many technological points in the Warhammer universe that giant corporations do not possess. As long as they can obtain some of them to complete the complementarity, the universe giant corporations can also develop more comprehensively.

Seeing that the discussion seemed to have reached a stalemate, Li Ang finally spoke up: "Let's discuss this later. I will open the star gate first and send a troop in to investigate the situation."

Different Warhammer timelines have different levels of integration difficulty. If it comes to an era when the Emperor is half-dead and various civilizations are in chaos, then it does require careful consideration.

But if the emperor has not undergone high-level amputation and has been squatting on the golden toilet, then there is still hope!
As soon as he finished speaking, Leon left the headquarters of the Wanjie Base first, leaving only AI Loki as the maintainer of order on the scene and the arbitrator.

Three days later, the giant company's investigative advance team passed through the star gate, while the heads of various departments remained in the meeting room, patiently waiting for the latest situation report.

During this period, all the executives of the giant companies have been repeatedly pondering and reasoning, deducing the various situations that might occur after entering the Warhammer universe.

Everyone is actively preparing for the worst.

Soon, employees of the giant company from the front-line investigation team brought good news.

That is the Warhammer universe timeline across the star gate, which is in the late stage of the First Great Crusade!
At this time, the human leader, the Emperor, was in his prime, and the sons of the various Primarchs were still serving under the Emperor, so a major rebellion affecting the Empire had not broken out.

Even the four little ones in the subspace were relatively well-behaved and hadn't caused any earth-shattering incidents for a while.

Although the conspiracy hidden beneath the incident is already surging, this is already the best start for the global giant company!

Because at that time the human empire was still in a state of vigor and development, even some of the black technology from the golden age was retained.

With the information that Megacorp now controls, they can fully cooperate with the Emperor to help the human empire avoid various natural and man-made disasters.
