The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

"Daigo Madoka, congratulations, you've passed."

"From now on, you are a 'special employee' of the Galvin Corporation."

Staring blankly at Lu Xuan opposite him, Daigo's expression changed rapidly, finally settling on a look of astonishment.

"why?"

Daigo couldn't understand why Lu Xuan had previously belittled him so much, yet in the end chose to hire him.

Moreover, just as Lu Xuan said, he had no idea what he was capable of doing, so why would the other party choose to hire him?

His father's constant teachings made Daigo begin to seriously consider the reasons behind it.

"Is this... hush money you gave me?"

Tilt his head with a hint of disbelief, and unable to figure out the reason, Daigo asked in a low voice.

"Hush money? You overestimate yourself."

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and calmly shook his head.

"Do you believe that before you even reveal my identity, you'll be arrested by TPC on trumped-up charges?"

"The world is far more complex than you imagine, and the rise of the Galvin Corporation is not just a coincidence."

After a brief pause, Lu Xuan continued his explanation.

"You are actually very talented, you just don't know it yourself."

"Besides, there are conditions to my hiring you as a 'specially appointed staff member'..."

"Before you officially enroll in TPC's pilot training, all your actions will be arranged by Gailvin."

"During this period, the Galvin Company will take care of all your food, clothing, and accommodation, but will not pay you any salary."

Ignoring Daigo's bewildered expression, Lu Xuan, who had mastered the essence of capitalism, calmly said...

"As a final reward, Gailvin will help you pull strings to get you into TPC's pilot training program as a 'special appointee' of Gailvin."

Upon hearing this, Daigo, finally snapping out of his daze, asked in confusion.

"What's the difference between this and me signing up myself?"

Faced with Daigo's question, Lu Xuan simply smiled and emphasized.

"What kind of people do you think will ultimately go to TPC's pilot training program?"

"They are either top pilots from before the Earth Defense Force disintegrated, or retired veterans who actually participated in combat. What qualifications do you have to compete with them?"

"What I, or rather the Galvin Corporation, can do for you is to ensure that you start on the same footing as them during training..."

"It's not like we can't even touch a real aircraft and can only lie in a simulator to conduct various simulated flight training."

Chapter 27 Please Call Me "Tony Stark" (New book, please read!)

A week later, at the headquarters of the Galvin Company in Kumamoto City.

"Lu Xuan! Is this the headquarters of Galvin Corporation? It's absolutely magnificent!"

After a week of acclimatization training, Daigo was finally able to enter the headquarters building of the Galvin Corporation and witness many high-tech devices that were simply impossible for outsiders to access.

Putting everything else aside, the elevator he had just ridden, which could go straight down 100 meters underground, was definitely not something a normal commercial company could possess.

Meanwhile, Daigo also learned some information that only the top executives of the Galvin Corporation could know during this process.

For example, Galvin actually has a close working relationship with TPC.

It is responsible not only for the procurement of some basic military equipment, but also for the research and experimentation of some high-tech technologies.

If Daigo hadn't been very familiar with the details of the Galvin Corporation, he probably would have mistaken it, like the other insiders, for a restructuring of a branch of the former Earth Defense Force.

Or to be more precise, Lu Xuan took advantage of this reorganization of the Earth Defense Force to digest and absorb a considerable portion of the original Earth Defense Force's forces and personnel.

If it weren't for the fact that large-scale involvement in military enterprises would easily expose him, Lu Xuan would have even considered directly acquiring those military enterprises that originally belonged to the Earth Defense Force.

Even so, Lu Xuan still controlled several of the outermost military industrial enterprises, either directly or indirectly.

Thanks to the increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence system of the AI ​​brain.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Xuan did not alarm any major forces, and it can be said that he completed the largest-scale annexation of the Earth Defense Force in the most low-key way.

Once he had established himself, Lu Xuan was no longer afraid of anything and began to truly engage with TPC, the behemoth that was dominating the Earth.

This high-powered elevator, which leads directly to the underground world a hundred meters below, is Lu Xuan's test of TPC.

"Don't be so surprised, this is just the beginning."

Using a position generator to disguise himself as a slightly plump middle-aged white man, Lu Xuan explained with a smile.

Lu Xuan's current appearance is exactly what the publicly known leader of the Galvin Corporation looks like, a genius entrepreneur who "built the Galvin Corporation single-handedly".

Whether in local government records or in top-secret files within TPC...

The leaders of the Galvin Group possess extraordinary business acumen, often enabling them to complete the largest acquisitions at minimal cost and build the Galvin Group from scratch.

"Also, my identity here is 'Tony Stark,' you can just call me boss."

Just before the elevator doors opened, Lu Xuan turned to Daigo and emphasized something.

"Tony Stark?"

Daigo, unaware of what the name meant, simply scratched his head.

Then she followed closely behind Lu Xuan, nervously and curiously examining the super-large experimental research institute located 100 meters underground.

......................................................................................................

It must be admitted that the internet on Earth today may not be as developed as it was in Lu Xuan's previous life.

However, in other areas of technology, this place is far ahead of several dimensions of Earth in its previous life.

A massive underground laboratory has taken shape in just six months since construction began.

The various divisions proceeded smoothly, with hundreds of staff members working in their respective areas according to their assigned tasks. Various classified equipment and experiments were being carried out step by step.

As the main control system of the entire underground research institute, the AI ​​brain, which has evolved into an artificial intelligence, is fully capable of handling all of this, and Lu Xuan is completely at ease entrusting it with the task.

After all, if Lu Xuan can't even trust the artificial intelligence that raised him, then he really doesn't know who else to trust.

"AI, take us to Experiment Zone 0."

After exchanging polite greetings with the staff along the way, Lu Xuan began to quietly invoke the artificial intelligence system.

"Yes, sir. We are in the process of opening Zone 0. It is expected to be completed in three minutes."

When that familiar mechanical voice sounded again, Daigo immediately showed a look of surprise and couldn't help but look up at the surveillance cameras flashing all around him.

"It's you? Oh, you work here too!"

Although he couldn't see the artificial intelligence in person, Daigo hadn't forgotten that it was this very AI that saved him when he was on the Galvin.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, 'carefree boy'."

There was no hint of a joke in the AI's cold voice, as if "carefree teenager" was a perfectly normal term.

Slightly embarrassed, Lu Xuan blinked and realized he had overlooked something: he had forgotten to change the way Daigo was addressed in the AI.

This artificial intelligence is indeed the same familiar artificial intelligence!

He actually took the nickname he used to tease Daigo as his fixed name.

"My name isn't 'Heartless Boy,' it's Daigo!"

"We haven't discovered that Lu Xuan is the culprit behind all this," Daigo corrected with a hint of helplessness.

"Okay, the system is updating data. Are you sure you want to change your name to 'Daigo'?"

Without hesitation, Daigo nodded. He didn't want to flaunt his "carefree youth" persona in public.

"System data update complete..."

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Daigo."

Whether it was Daigo and Lu Xuan's imagination or not, they both felt as if they could hear a hint of amusement in the AI's words.

"..."

They looked at each other blankly, and Da Gu and Lu Xuan shook their heads at the same time to shake off this illusion.

How could this broken AI (AI brain system) possibly be joking? It must all be an illusion!

"Experimental Zone 0 has been successfully activated. Please follow the indicator lights along the way!"

Just then, the AI ​​interrupted their thoughts, and an arrow-shaped indicator was projected onto the wall in front of them.

The arrow stretched out from the elevator entrance all the way down into the ground, pointing the way for the two of them.

"Let's go! Next, I'll take you to see the real 'Galvin Company'!"

Seeing Lu Xuan heading deeper into the earth, Daigo took a deep breath, finally letting go of his tension and stepping forward.

In this enormous underground laboratory, Daigo was prepared to see all sorts of novel things.

Daigo was also very curious about what talent this being from outside Earth had taken a liking to.

Why would he bring himself to this underground space that is not supposed to be known by outsiders?

Chapter 28 Experimental Zone 0

It didn't take long for Daigo, led by Lu Xuan, to arrive near the so-called "Experimental Zone 0".

It was far more impressive than Daigo had imagined the experimental area to be.

Various advanced instruments are placed in the corners of the experimental areas, and huge supports and scaffolding support the entire underground space.

Furthermore, at the entrance to Experiment Zone 0, there is an electromagnetic sensor and a camera every ten meters or so, allowing the power of artificial intelligence to be fully utilized here.

And this is only what Daigo sees on the surface.

Even the staff who work here year-round cannot guarantee that they know everything about the various laser weapons and security measures hidden in the shadows.

In particular, this only corridor leading to the outside world is constructed entirely of specially made metal, which can generate a deadly laser network when necessary, completely sealing off the way we came.

In addition, the networks in most experimental areas are also independently formed and not connected to the outside world.

Even if a top-tier hacker wanted to infiltrate this place, they wouldn't be able to come up with a good solution given this form of physical isolation.

It can be said that, apart from nominally still belonging to the Gaelvin Corporation, all the facilities here were built to the highest military standards.

However, compared to the various facilities and equipment here, what truly attracted Daigo's attention was the aircraft standing at the end of the corridor.

"That's... the Galvin?"

Daigo immediately recognized the aircraft – it was none other than the Galvin, which had caused a ruckus in Shinjuku six months ago.

Moreover, the Gailwin is clearly undergoing modifications.

All that could be seen were tall supports nearby that arched it high, and countless mechanical parts, some familiar and some not, were modifying its external structure under a semi-automatic operating program.

Or more precisely, it's about adding some external equipment to the Gailvin.

"That's right, that's the Gailvin."

Looking at the semi-automated external device, Lu Xuan made no attempt to hide his pride in his expression and tone.

Compared to the Gailvin six months ago, the Gailvin has seen a significant improvement in all aspects of its performance, and its external equipment and parts have been standardized into a production line.

"This is the most secretive experimental area in the entire underground research institute, and also the place with the highest level of secrecy."

"No one can enter this place without my authorization and permission."

Lu Xuan never forgot what his true trump card was, nor did he think that he had gained a foothold on this unfamiliar earth just because of the establishment of Galvin Corporation.

The entire underground research institute, and even the headquarters of the Galvin Corporation, were built to conceal the existence of Experiment Zone 0.

This is Lu Xuan's own top-level laboratory, a research center he built specifically for himself.

From basic 3D printing to the synthesis of polymer materials, and the manufacture of various experimental equipment...

This Experiment Zone 0 has almost everything, which can fully meet Lu Xuan's various high-level requirements in scientific research.
