Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Although the crisis on the surface has disappeared, the tide in the dark still exists. According to Bronya's feedback, they have captured more than one company spy.

These people tried to crack the secrets through sand soldiers and observing the solar disk. There were even special scientific researchers who sneaked into Beloberg. The Black Tower could not interfere with this secret competition unless she really intended to completely break off relations with the company.

But the Black Tower has more than just the space station industry. The company is huge and powerful, and if the two sides really declare a full-scale war, no one will benefit.

Fortunately, with Beloberg's strength, it is not difficult to deal with these guys.

zizi~

A virtual projection appeared in front of Ash.

The other person looked exactly like Topa, one of the ten Stonehearts he was familiar with.

The company contacted Black Tower directly and asked to end the negotiation with Ash. Ash guessed that this was probably the final ultimatum, so he agreed.

"Sir Ash, nice to meet you. My name is Topa, and I'm the debt handler for the company's strategic investment department." Topa first briefly introduced himself, then got straight to the point. "No need for pleasantries. We're both aware of the current situation, and it's a good thing Ms. Black Tower is here too."

She glanced at the black tower who was concentrating on simulating the universe. Seeing that the latter had no intention of looking at her, she didn't care. After all, geniuses all had strange tempers.

"Mr. Ash, as the head of Beloberg, you should understand that you have an obligation to repay the debt Beloberg owes the company. Considering..."

"Stop." Ash waved his hand. "First and foremost, Yarilo is now under Shurima's control. The real Beloberg has been destroyed, understand? What's the debt they owe me? If you have the guts, go and pay the debt to the spirits of Beloberg's ancestors."

Topa nodded slightly. "I understand what you mean, but debts are inherited. They can't be circumvented by simply changing Beloberg's name. I hope you understand this."

"Then do you understand what it means to die without a debt?" Ash scoffed. "What does the company want, after all? It's our Shuriman technology. Why all the high-sounding talk? You failed to seize it before, and now you're arguing with me about the rules? Miss Toppa, the company did borrow money, but as far as I know, a large number of the automatic machines built with that money are now unusable. You didn't give the people at the time the activation keys, causing Beloberg to waste a lot of time and energy on this matter, missing the best opportunity to fight. How are you going to settle this?"

Topa was stunned. "How could that be? Then how did Beloberg carry it all over?"

"How do we handle it? Just bear it head-on," Ash said calmly. "Let's end this conversation. In short, Shurima won't accept this debt. If the company wants to use force to recover it, we welcome it at any time. Debts must be repaid, but you should know that not all investments bring returns. Seven hundred years of wind and snow on Yalilo have long since swallowed up this debt. There are no so-called city builders living on this planet today; they are all Shurimans!"

Topa gave Ash a long look.

"Is this your decision? I understand. I will convey your wishes to the company. But Mr. Ash, I urge you to think carefully. Decisions made by the company's top management are not easily changed. I don't want to see Yalilo, who finally managed to survive, being dragged into another endless disaster."

Swish!

Topa's projection disappeared from where it stood.

"Haha~ Looks like we've completely fallen out." Black Tower stared at the virtual interface before him and said without turning his head, "I just got news that the company seems to be very concerned about your power. They believe that it is a theft of the protective power and should be controlled by the company... You know, the company has been chasing Krippo, but their Amber King has probably only glanced at him a few times."

"Even so, the company's strength is undeniable. Furthermore, your abilities are indeed somewhat similar to those of the guardians. Whether from a profit or belief perspective, they all hope to grasp this power in their own hands."

There was so little for Krippo to focus on!

Even for companies, it is difficult to get Clipper to pay attention, so even if they are his most powerful followers, they are unsure.

If Clipper gave a powerful share of destiny power to people outside the company, it would have a certain impact on the company's status.

Of course, profit is still the most fundamental consideration for these capitalists.

"Then let them give it a try."

What the hell is this about paying back debts? This guy is clearly trying to treat me like a dog!

Ash has no intention of being a dog.

Although the company is powerful, this economic hegemony is not a monolithic entity.

At least, he didn't think there was no hope for him.

Just to fight against the company, Ash had to further arm Beloberg, and now that his strength had increased, it was time to create another batch of Ascendants.

"Black Tower, help me get a few warships, and I'll trade them with you for Life Sand."

"..." Heita's mouth twitched slightly, "You are a good business man...but have you really thought it through? This company is not easy to deal with."

"I've thought it through. Don't worry, you won't be implicated. You helped me withstand most of the pressure. Shurima will remember your kindness."

There was a golden light burning in Ash's eyes. That was the will of the sun. Although it was still weak, it did not mean it was weak!

"Black Tower, watch! Shurima's wrath will burn now, and one day, its light will shine throughout the galaxy!"

"Haha~"

Heita was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing.

"I think it's quite interesting. A battle between an unknown mysterious empire and the galactic economic hegemon is definitely more interesting than just sitting here staring at the stars... Hey, someone's coming."

She glanced at the message interface that popped up.

"Hmm? Ruan Mei?" Heita's expression was a little strange. "Yash, there's a genius who wants to trade with you. Would you like to meet her?"

........

Yesterday's reward statistics: monthly tickets 184, rewards 11, blades 36. The reward continues gkd!

I really didn't mean to get stuck, it's just that I write so fast. Every day at noon, I almost finish the chapters I post at noon. I haven't stopped all day... But after that, I will try my best to complete the part of the plot that can be written. Please understand o(╥﹏╥)o

Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 66 Ash: If he kills a thousand of me, I will kill a hundred million of him!

Ruan Mei, member No. 81 of the Genius Club, is one of the creators of the simulated universe.

Among the many geniuses, Heita and Ruan Mei have a very good relationship, well, much better than those who may not even have met each other.

Having said that, when Ruan Mei proposed to cooperate with Yaxiu, Heita's first reaction was like a stressed cat encountering an opponent stealing its food.

However, considering the 'setbacks' she had encountered during this period, she also felt that it might be better to study the life sand from a different perspective. For example, Ruan Mei, whose mastery of the field of life sciences is top-notch in the entire galaxy.

No one even dared to say that they were better than Ruan Mei in this regard. In addition to their relationship, Heita took the opportunity to ask on Ruan Mei's behalf.

"You probably don't know much about her. Ruan Mei is a genius in the field of biological science. She's probably looking for you because of the power of your magical sand." Heita spread his hands. "Anyway, that's her purpose. If you want to win over forces, Ruan Mei is indeed a good choice. At least she's more trustworthy than most geniuses. Of course, working with a genius is also very troublesome. She doesn't communicate much with others, so getting along with her is much more difficult than me."

Ms. Heita said this with great self-awareness.

She is now in the same boat with Ash, so if she wants to get him into bed again, she naturally has to make the interests involved as clear as possible.

and.

This time they are going to do something big.

This is a game of war and conquest, involving big players like geniuses and companies. Once the flames are lit, it won't be over with just two people dying.

"Are you close to her?" Ash asked.

"I guess so. At least it's better than other geniuses."

"That's all right." Ash smiled faintly. "Since I trust you, I will definitely trust your judgment. But let me make it clear first, once you've chosen a side, you can't betray. Shurima hates betrayal, and so do I."

Traitors are more hated than enemies.

Moreover, in the future, Ash will definitely let Shurima dominate the galaxy. By then, it will not only conflict with the company, but also the Immortal Ship Alliance, the Force of Abundance, the Antimatter Legion, etc. may become enemies.

He did not force Heita and Ruan Mei to follow Shurima to conquer the world, but they must not betray him or reveal his information to the other side.

As long as they are not traitors, Ash feels that he is still very kind to people.

"Don't worry about that. Geniuses are geniuses not just because they possess abilities far superior to ordinary people. If geniuses were so easily betrayed, then the Genius Club itself wouldn't exist. The answers to the universe transcend the limits of mortal wisdom. For a genius, betrayal is a very foolish act."

"That's fine, you can help me arrange it, I'll talk to her alone."

"Okay." Heita said, then couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that I'll need her help with the next simulation. Otherwise, if the simulated universe explodes again, Ester will also lose her temper."

In fact, Heita also had his own selfish motives in bringing Ruan Mei in.

On the one hand, it is to continue exploring the secret of Omfalos. With Ruan Mei joining, there will be no problem in finding the specific location. She is very confident about this because all she needs is an opportunity.

More importantly, she wants to crack the secret of Ash's power, and for this purpose, Ms. Black Tower has a bold idea.

Because the virtual star gods that exist in the simulated universe were recorded from the original bodies cultivated by Ruan Mei, and then she and Ruan Mei combined the virtual star gods with the real destiny, thus giving the simulation substantial meaning.

Since we can't avoid the existence of the source of the power of the sun every time, we might as well make a bold charge and exert all the computing power to obtain the other party's information, even a tiny bit. Ruan Mei, who is proficient in the field of biology, should be able to capture it keenly, and then reversely cultivate the other party's original body and truly unravel the veil of this mysterious existence!

This was definitely a great attempt!

That mysterious star god!

Thinking of this, Heita's heart, which had been quiet for a long time, was actually a little excited.

"Okay, I'll go greet her. You can go to Beloberg first."

"Um..."

Watching the black tower leave excitedly, Ash was a little puzzled. Was this woman so close to Ruan Mei? He didn't see it clearly in the game.

...

After leaving the simulated universe, Ash returned to Beloberg on a spaceship.

"King Ash."

Seeing him appear, Bronya immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ash had been giving her orders through his phone, Bronya was still unsure because she didn't see him in person.

Over the past few days, she'd learned a lot about the Interstellar Peace Company through external channels. The more she learned, the more alarmed she became. Although the company carried the word "peace," countless forces had been destroyed by the company's "nuclear peace" power.

If it weren't for Ash, a planet like Yalilo would have long since become an enemy colony.

"Bronya, you did a good job." Ash said with a faint smile, "I was away during this time, thank you for your hard work with everyone."

"That's nothing. I'm the Great Guardian of Beloberg. It's just a company matter..."

"I'll personally handle the company's affairs. What about that interstellar battleship?"

"In the open space in the north of the city, I gave it to Xiluwa for research."

The interstellar battleship's technology was far superior to Beloberg's, and simply understanding its functions would take a long time. Fortunately, after she and her men seized control, they didn't kill the operators. Since Sylva was interested in these things and had a talent for them, Bronya simply handed the battleship over to her.

When Ash came outside the battleship, he fell in love with this big guy at first sight. It was not shock, but excitement and joy.

The interstellar journey cannot be achieved by relying on two legs alone. The development of warships is indispensable in the future. This cannot be experienced in the game at all, which makes him feel somewhat regretful.

This time, Ash brought with him knowledge about interstellar battleship technology. Of course, this information was given to him by the Black Tower and was strictly company secrets. As for why the Black Tower had such secrets, that was not Ash's concern.

The important thing is that these things are not for sale and their value is difficult to estimate.

In the future, Beloberg will also have to build his own technology team, and the existing technology team will have to be reformed. Young and talented people like Shiluwa will be trained as the focus.

At present, he needs to train relevant technical talents, and the Black Tower will provide him with a few warships in the future. To be honest, Ash has no idea how much this thing is worth, but since the Black Tower has agreed to help, it will definitely not go back on its word.

As for the reward, it will be a few hundred kilograms of life sand. In the eyes of the Black Tower, the value of that thing is much higher than credit points.

When the warship arrives, technicians and warship staff still need to be selected carefully, which is related to the issue of talent reserves, which is also quite scarce in Beloberg.

The cold wave brought too many disasters to this last remaining human city-state. There were not many people in the entire Beloberg, and even fewer talented people. Even the selection requirements for the main force, the Silver Mane Iron Guard, were repeatedly lowered due to the declining population.

The number of service personnel required for a warship would be at least several hundred or even thousands. Ash suddenly discovered that the biggest problem hindering Beloberg's flight to the starry sky was not technology and money, but population.

Because the first two can be quickly obtained through other channels, but population can only be built over time, which is a rather long process.

Of course, there is another way besides men and women creating it - that is conquest and annexation.

Looking at the entire galaxy, the thing that is most abundant is people.

When Shurima was founded on Omfalos, he relied on his fame and strength to attract numerous tribes. How many people were there on the entire planet of Omfalos? If he could establish a reputation in this galaxy, countless people would want to join Shurima.

By that time, Shurima can truly move towards becoming an 'empire'.

Thinking this way, Ash must not lose this battle with the Interstellar Peace Company.

As for the definition of losing and winning, it does not necessarily mean the complete destruction of one side. Ash is very clear that it is impossible for him to completely destroy the company with his current strength. If the company is destroyed, the entire galaxy will collapse.

If the economic system that the company has built over such a long period of time collapses, the resulting financial storm will instantly sweep across the entire galaxy. When that time comes, no one will have an easy time.

It is precisely because the company's influence on the galaxy is so great that they become more and more confident. Unless they can establish an economic system that is capable of competing with the company, they will be almost invincible.

But with a large family background, there were more things to consider within a vast system. What about Ash? What did he have to consider? As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the shod. When he fought against the company, he was standing on the shoulders of giants, and his every move attracted the attention of countless people.

As long as he's alive, he wins.

The next day, Ash brought the fifty people selected by Bronya who were suitable for the Ascension Ceremony to a base outside the city.

Considering that Beloberg was infiltrated by the company, the ascension ceremony can no longer be held openly. Moreover, the ascended warriors will be the greatest reliance for advancing into the galaxy in the future, and their relevant information is a military secret.

Fortunately, the power of the sun is non-replicable, so Ash does not have to worry about other forces researching and replicating the Ascendants. After all, unlike the Astartes in the Warhammer world, which are genetically modified and strengthened, the power of the Ascendants comes from the sun disc, which means that only Ash in the entire Star Iron World can create Ascendants.

And it is a continuous creation!

Unfortunately, the success rate of the ascension ceremony is still too low. In the end, only eighteen out of fifty people succeeded, and these were the "elite" of the Iron Guard carefully selected by Bronya. If the ascension ceremony were to be relaxed to the entire Silver Mane Iron Guard, the success rate would probably be less than 10%.

Even among the successful ones, only a few can truly gain enough power. Most people are at the minimum standard for passing the ceremony. Although they can be strengthened, the improvement in strength is quite limited.

So after comprehensive consideration, Ash did not choose to carry out ascension on a large scale. The main reason was that there were too few Beloberg people. If there were hundreds of millions of people, he would immediately create several legions of quasi-ascenders.

In addition to the number limit, more importantly, he requires loyalty!
