Chapter 209: Giant enterprises are flourishing, so why not build some giant structures?
However, when the various departments of the giant company select talents from the Pacific Rim Earth, they still have to send more staff and labor here.
After all, under the destruction of the pioneer civilization, the number of humans on this earth has long been reduced from more than 6 billion at the beginning to less than 200 million now.
Facing this devastated earth, the giant company has a lot of work to do.
From Ideal City, 001 Universe "Netherworld" Earth, transport resources and population to rebuild the earth, as well as a large amount of mineral mining.
At this time, the importance of the material decompressor is perfectly reflected!
"The post-war reconstruction will be left to you, I just want the results."
Li Ang ordered his subordinates.
"Yes!"
After more than ten years of painstaking operation, Ideal City has long become the largest production factory of the Universal Giant Company, and management and business talents are emerging everywhere.
And 001 "Netherworld" Earth is the talent pool of soldiers and officers of the giant company.
After all, the survivors here are all ruthless people who have confronted the terrifying Netherworld soldiers for nearly ten years.
Their minds are much more resilient than ordinary people in the tempering of harsh environments.
And the Corey team and others who made contributions this time are the representatives!
As for those soldiers who were stripped of their nervous systems and forced to be in a quantized state, the giant company actually retained a very small number of them for experimental research.
Although the manufacturing method of these Nether Soldiers is quite cruel and inhumane, these technologies have indeed become one of the technology points of the giant company.
When necessary, the giant company will also use clones or clones to produce a batch of invisible and intangible Nether Army to give the enemy a little Nether Shock!
Of course, this technology will not become a conventional weapon of the giant company. The cost and maintenance resources of the Nether Soldiers are quite high, and it is necessary to always guard against the escape of the Nether.
When facing advanced civilizations, especially aliens with technology points added in the microscopic world, no matter how many Nether Legions there are, they will collapse in just one glance.
Therefore, in terms of quantum technology, Li Ang still focuses on expanding production and weapons in the development of his technology points.
For example, quantum computers and research on antimatter, plasma bombs.
Especially plasma weapons, this technology has been mastered by the scientific research department of giant companies. At this moment, giant companies can produce various plasma guns and bombs on their own.
This is the charm of "free" technology points!
Speaking of free, Li Ang couldn't help but turn his eyes to the holographic screen again. If we talk about the technology points on the earth in "Pacific Rim", the most obvious one is the giant mecha.
Soon, at Li Ang's request, the front-line base immediately sent all the top-secret information of the Pan-Pacific Defense Force's hunter mechas to the headquarters.
Looking at the sixth-generation hunter mecha plan secretly developed by the Defense Force, Li Ang immediately became interested and carefully read and browsed the data and details of the information.
In this document, the Defense Force plans to combine the characteristics of previous generations of mechas, optimize various details, and create a sixth-generation mecha that is a culmination of all.
And this generation of mechas will be powered by an electric turbine system and a nuclear reactor to provide power for the mecha.
‘It’s just right to use our polymer nuclear fusion reactor to add some power to this generation of mecha. ’
Li Ang said thoughtfully.
The humans in Pacific Rim do not have reliable nuclear fusion technology, so the most advanced power source is still the nuclear fission reactor.
If a more stable nuclear fusion reactor with better energy conversion rate is replaced, the power of the mecha can be raised to another level.
Immediately, Li Ang continued to check.
The sixth-generation mecha is going to adopt the three-person driving system of the fourth-generation mecha “Storm Red”, and will add armor to the back area of the mecha to prevent the sneak attack of the Kaiju beast.
In addition, the sixth-generation mecha will also be equipped with a new plasma pulse cannon, which has a better long-range attack capability.
Therefore, comprehensively speaking, this generation of mecha models will have more resistance to attacks, stronger power, faster speed, and better firepower system.
‘No wonder the traitors in the human high-level would be so strongly opposed to the defense army re-building mechas. If this thing is really built, it will be a big trouble for the pioneers. ’
Li Ang suddenly understood the reason why the defense army was suppressed. He was definitely the contemporary Yue Fei.
He was desperately defending the enemy on the front line, and the traitors in the rear were stabbing him crazily.
No one could bear this!
However, such a good mecha construction plan has now become Li Ang’s, and he got a technology point for free. It’s great!
In fact, as early as a few years ago, Li Ang had thought about improving the Titan mecha and building a batch of large mechas.
But considering the cost and use issues, the project would be a bit of a waste of resources and a bit inefficient, so he temporarily shelved the plan.
It’s true. After all, the application scenarios of giant mechas dozens of meters high on Earth alone are quite limited.
Not to mention on the interstellar battlefield.
Unless it is the giant Ultraman of the Kingdom of Light who can fly, fire lasers by himself, have excellent melee combat capabilities, and have self-healing abilities.
That thing is a real giant weapon!
Otherwise, building a large mecha like this would be a sheer waste of money and would only serve as a living target for the enemy.
However, now that the Pan-Pacific Defense Force has ready-made information, Li Ang can order the engineering department at any time to build two prototype mechas according to the drawings as backup.
Of course, these two mechas will not appear as formal combat units. More often, they will appear as symbols of giant companies like the Red Flame Phantom Beast.
A giant battle mecha appears. Regardless of whether it has much effect, its deterrence alone is full.
It's pretty good for bluffing alien heretics from some low-level civilizations!
Just after Li Ang organized and summarized all the file information on the screen, a long-lost notification sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Quest of the Heavens: Conquer the Earth in "Pacific Rim"]
[Status: Completed]
[Task rewards: 10 roulette lottery opportunities for level 8 or above, massive enterprise currency values (guaranteed one upgrade to giant structure, heavenly item level)]
[Additional mission: Conquer the "Pioneer" alien civilization]
[Status: Completed]
[Task reward: full-level technology upgrade points]
…
‘The system reward has arrived! ’
Hearing this long-lost notification sound, Li Ang suddenly felt refreshed. He thought he would have to stay on Earth in "Pacific Rim" for a while.
Only when all the Pioneers on Antinium and the remaining Kaiju beasts and Pioneers on Earth are wiped out can the system mission be completed.
Li Ang didn't expect this completion reward to come so quickly!
‘It should be that this comprehensive and meticulous operation wiped out all the pioneer civilizations, so the system rewards were distributed so quickly. ’
Li Ang nodded thoughtfully.
He remembered that the last time he was on the "Netherworld" earth, it took the giant company's troops a long time to finally clear out the Netherworld.
The main reason is that some ghosts are very smart and know how to hide in areas with dense heat sources, or simply hide in a cave without coming out.
And this time, Li Ang, who had prepared a complete plan, launched the Manticore virus and used a saturation attack to completely annihilate the Pioneers.
Only in this way can we uproot the pioneer civilization and kill them all in less than two days!
‘We still have to eliminate evil and do our best! ’
Li Ang smiled.
He knows what to do from now on so that he can complete system tasks with the fastest efficiency and get new rewards.
Using the life of an alien heretic to explode the system's gold coins, Li Ang didn't feel the slightest sense of guilt. It was their honor to contribute to the giant companies in the world.
What's more, the pioneers were the invaders who launched the colonial invasion first, and Li Ang's giant army can only be regarded as justice for heaven!
Immediately, Li Ang looked at the Enterprise Coin rewards distributed this time. He was quite lucky. This batch of Enterprise Coins was enough for him to successfully exchange for the [Material Decompressor] giant structure.
The remaining enterprise coins can even support him to upgrade the level of a giant structure, or upgrade the level of matrix, star gate, gene seeds and other technological points.
Of course, these remaining Qi coins Liang still have to be kept for emergencies or used to unlock subsequent giant structures.
His current focus is on the newly unlocked [Material Decompressor]!
At this moment, relevant prompt information has appeared on the system interface.
[The first stage of the global giant - Ideal City has been unlocked]
[The second phase of Global Giants - Science Hub has been unlocked]
[The third stage of the global giant - the material decompressor has been unlocked]
【……】
'Strange... The fourth stage of the universe has not been displayed yet. Could it be that I have to wait until I conquer the next world before it will be displayed? ’
When Li Ang saw the fourth phase of the giant structure, which was obscured by a line of blurry mosaics, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He now wanted to know what the next giant structure was.
It wasn't until Li Ang saw from the system prompts that he needed to build the material decompressor before he could see the giant structure behind that he suddenly realized it.
If so, it's not surprising.
‘That’s it for now, let’s move up a level first! ’
Li Ang didn't hesitate for a moment. After getting the upgrade points that could instantly increase the level of the giant structure, he decisively used it on the [Material Decompressor].
A maxed-out material decompressor can extract and refine valuable minerals from black holes in astonishing amounts!
With this thing, whether Li Ang is building a new ideal city, a scientific hub, or rebuilding the earth in "Netherworld" and "Pacific Rim", he can greatly liberate the mining labor force.
Although Li Ang has a system that can provide weapons and military equipment, exchanging these items also requires the consumption of corporate currency.
The best he can do is give weapons and equipment to his left hand and free up his right hand to earn some currency value. It is impossible to dismantle firearms and ammunition and use them as basic resources.
Therefore, for the giant companies in the world, enough basic materials can ensure the normal operation of this giant empire.
However, for Li Ang, the biggest role of the [Material Decompressor] is to greatly speed up the construction time of the second ideal city and scientific hub.
As long as the time for material mining can be omitted, the construction time of the giant structure will only take a few years.
‘Giant companies are in their prime, so why not build some giant structures! ’
Li Ang smiled. He looked at the time required to build the material decompressor, which was only a little over a year.
For Li Ang, whose lifespan has reached the infinite state of "∞", this is just a trivial matter in the blink of an eye.
Players of P Club are like this. Immortal cultivators can upgrade and increase their lifespan just by meditating and refining spiritual energy. Players of P Club have many things to consider.
The fleet, the Colossus, the army, the Sky-like Fallen Star, the Burning Sky Divine Weapon, the Taixu Engine... I want them all, but how can I get them if I don't have enough lifespan talent to live and operate them!
‘It just so happens that I have been busy for almost two months, so this time I regard it as a holiday for myself. ’
Li Ang nodded. He could just use this year to consolidate the rear of the giant company and supervise the reconstruction of the two earths.
After determining the next plan and deployment, Li Ang directly gave it the task of building a [Matter Decompressor] through the transcendental AI Europa.
The matter decompressor giant structure needs to first select a suitable black hole. The black hole needs to be as close as possible to the solar system and not too far away.
Otherwise, transportation costs will increase, and the mass of the black hole cannot be too small, otherwise it will be easily mined.
Fortunately, Li Ang had already decided on a suitable black hole before this, and now he just had to install the matter decompressor!
[As you wish, my master. 】
After receiving Li Ang's order, AI Europa, who was responsible for coordinating all matters of the ideal city, immediately began to dispatch manpower to build a decompressor in the black hole area.
After finishing all the important matters, Li Ang felt more relaxed and relieved than ever before. During this time, he was busy with the tasks of the pioneer.
Immediately, Li Ang, accompanied by Morgan, left the center console and came to the observation deck of the headquarters.
Looking at the busy people going back and forth at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Realms Base, Li Ang suddenly remembered his vacation time on Pandora.
The magnificent alien scenery there is indeed intoxicating and fascinating, but now Li Ang doesn't have the time to see the scenery. He has to stay in Ideal City to take charge of the overall situation.
For an immortal like him, time actually passes quite quickly, and the traces left by the years on his body are not obvious.
‘I hope to be able to come up with some life-extending technology in the future so that it can be arranged for executives like Morgan, Song Zhaomei, and Lucy. ’
Li Ang thought.
Although the existing genetic technology and cybernetic technology of giant companies can fully support Morgan, Lucy and others to live for nearly two hundred years.
But for the long-term development of global giants, two hundred years is just a blink of an eye.
Even if V's whole body is mechanized and organs are cloned and replaced, he can only live for about ten thousand years.
If there is no better life extension technology, then Li Ang can only replace a new group of executives later.
‘We still need to speed up some progress and improve the technology of giant companies. ’
After sighing silently in his heart, Li Ang decided to go out for a walk to see the results of this work.
Upon seeing this, Morgan Blackhand, who was accompanying him, immediately ordered his subordinates to arrange a Skyhawk shuttle and four additional gunboats to protect Leon's carrier aircraft.
Outside the corridor, Leon, Lucy, Morgan and others boarded the shuttle in front of the balcony under the protection of several Astartes warriors whose transformation intensity had reached the "Forbidden Army" level.
When entering the cabin, Li Ang even omitted the breathing mask. With his current physique, he had no need for it.
Even in the harsh environment of the Earth in "Pacific Rim", Li Ang can breathe easily and freely.
After all, his physical strength at this moment is the same as V who has undergone 19 organ modifications. The only difference is that Li Ang has no other extra organs, they are all original.
Soon, the door of the Skyhawk shuttle was closed, and the suspension mode pulled the body to a high altitude. Then the engine roared and drove to the end of the star gate and flew to the earth's low-Earth orbit.
In the cabin, Li Ang was not idle. Instead, he had a conversation with Corey on the ground, commending him for his achievements and contributions to giant companies.
"Corey, you did a good job this time. It seems that you are getting along quite well with the people of the Defense Force in the metal city."
Li Ang smiled at Corey through the holographic screen.
"They are human warriors worthy of respect, especially General Raleigh Beckett and Asako Mori. They were once mecha pilots in the same group."
Corey reported his work to Li Ang truthfully and explained all his interpersonal relationships clearly.
During his time working at a giant company in the world, he knew very well the importance of "reporting work" to his boss, Li Ang.
Especially after learning that Chapter Master V of the Astartes had been promoted through reporting work in the early years.
Corey understands more how important "telling the truth" is to his future development.
"I know these two people and have read their files." Li Ang nodded.
These two people are not the hero and heroine in "Pacific Rim". Unexpectedly, they have now reached the position of general of the National Defense Force.
It is a pity that the former general of the Defense Forces, Stike Penticos, died of illness long ago.
Otherwise, Li De will see someone who looks exactly like him on the Earth in "Pacific Rim".
Just thinking about this scene makes me feel a little happy and makes me laugh.
After hanging up the conversation with Corey, the Skyhawk shuttle quickly returned to the atmosphere, carrying executives from giant companies to the skies over North America.
After several rounds of hydrogen bomb explosions and plasma bomb detonations in the past few days, the pioneer cities in North America and the Kaiju beasts have all perished.
Without these sources of continuous pollution to the earth's environment, the skies over North America are suddenly clearer than before.
However, it will take at least ten years for the earth in "Pacific Rim" to return to its original appearance.
After all, it is easy to destroy but difficult to recover.
This is under the premise that the global giants have the technology to transform the planet and build an ideal city.
Without this key reconstruction technology, it would take at least a hundred years for giant companies to re-govern the earth's ecological environment.
By then, the humans here will have changed for five or six generations!
Just when Li Ang was about to view the scene here and make a mental estimate of the degree of environmental damage here.
Nicolo, the director of the biotechnology department of a giant company, suddenly sent a holographic video.
When the video communication was connected, Li Ang saw Nicolo who was in the experimental center, wearing a fully armed chemical protective suit, and said to Li Ang:
"Boss, we have some new discoveries this time."
After speaking, Niccolò tapped twice on the holographic panel, presented more relevant data to Li Ang, and explained:
"The Pioneer used its own genetic information to mix and create the Kaijumon. Everyone knows this, but no one knows the specific reason why the Pioneer can control the Kaijumon."
"Now, I think we know the answer."
After finishing his words, Niccolò sent an experimental video and conclusion report to Li Ang respectively.
After watching the video and report, Li Ang looked slightly stunned. He saw a piece of information in the report, that is, the genes of the pioneers have the function of realizing "hive consciousness"!
They can use their own genetic information to remotely issue instructions to the same kind or creatures that also have the same genetic data.
And there are levels!
A supreme leader like the Herald Archbishop can directly deliver orders to any of his subordinates or Kaiju beasts.
"but……"
Niccolò hesitated for a moment, and then added to Leon: "The pioneer's hive consciousness has certain limitations in sharing information."
"For example, if the distance is too far, this function cannot be performed, and the units that can share instructions at one time are also relatively limited."
After listening to Niccolò's explanation, Leon had a clear understanding of the pioneer's hive consciousness.
This thing has some research value, but it's not very big.
After all, when it comes to the hive consciousness, Li Ang's polymer collective nervous system can even achieve complete control regardless of distance and units.
Even without the Legion of Astartes or other soldiers, Leon himself can control a huge clone army, as well as a large number of AI robots and armored combat vehicles.
These days...who is not an Omnissiah!
"In addition, in terms of weaponization, I think Kaijumon's role is relatively small."
"The venom and acid in their bodies have basically no effect on the same type of silicon-based organisms, and the cost of making Kaiju beasts is not low."
"However, the genetic data of Pioneer and Kaiju Beast have some research value, which can make it easier for us to cultivate new alien creatures."
Niccolò has tried his best to stand from the perspective of a global giant and consider all production costs for Li Ang.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Li Ang responded.
Niccolò was right.
Originally, Li Ang had considered that if the cost of manufacturing Kaiju beasts was acceptable, he would even create an army of Kaiju beasts.
For future interstellar colonial wars.
But now it seems that since the cost of opening a chrysanthemum beast exceeds expectations, it is better to save these resources to build a few plasma bombs for fun!
You know, it only took dozens of hydrogen bombs and plasma bombs to destroy the pioneer cities in North America and the Kaiju beasts there.
As for these overhead costs, they only have the resources required to create two Kaiju beasts!
Even lower.
In this comparison, it is quite obvious which one is better and which one is worse.
Li Ang is unwilling to do any loss-making business unless there are longer-term benefits.
