Chapter 241 If the enemy can go, I can go too! The advantage is mine!

After finishing the conversation with V, Leon believed that V already knew what to do next, and he didn't need to worry too much about the rest.

Although the giant company was sending troops and ships from various universes to the 004 universe, reducing some of the security forces.

But the factories in Ideal City and engineers and scientific research members in various places were also working overtime.

In order to ensure the reserve of weapons and warships in each universe and guard against other accidents.

The 003 universe is an important town second only to the 004 "Halo" universe, so V's security force is still normal, and not many troops have been sent out.

At this moment, Leon, who had just finished talking to V, was browsing the reports of various departments, and soon he received a message from David.

It turned out that not long ago, the transport boat carrying David, Rita and others left the jump space and arrived in Arcadia. David and others had successfully sneaked into the enemy's core area.

And obtained the key information of ONI at the ruins.

As for Rita, Cage and others, they are secretly bribing local officials and gang bosses, trying to find out the defense situation of Arcadia and the internal structure of the city hall.

Obviously, they are planning to replicate the previous decapitation operation, control the entire Arcadia center, and help the giant enterprise to successfully take over the colony planet.

However, before receiving instructions from the highest headquarters, they cannot act rashly for the time being, and have to lurk patiently.

And Leon, in line with the principle of not making a sound, then making a splash, decided to reserve enough warships, as well as materials and soldiers to support multi-line operations, and take down the Shield World and Reach at the same time.

Since we are preparing for war, we should do it all at once, and don't give the Star Alliance and the UNSC any time and opportunity to react.

As for the preparation time, according to the reports from various departments, it will take about a month.

During this period, the Universal Corporation will have to further explore the surrounding star fields of the Rich Star, develop local resources, and guard against the movements of the UNSC or the rebels.

"Boss, David and his team have successfully returned to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base with the remains of Arcadia. Should we meet them now?"

At this time, a communicator reported to Leon.

"Well, let them come."

As soon as the voice fell, in the elevator outside the headquarters, a Skyhawk shuttle just came from the edge of the sky, slowed down, lowered the landing gear, and parked steadily on the apron not far away.

Opening the doors on both sides, David, Cage and other investigators, each carrying a briefcase, walked out of the cabin and headed straight for the headquarters.

Only David and his group of Astartes warriors came back this time, and William Cage used the ghost hand again to cover the successful return of this group of "iron cans" and stuffed in a wave of "human relations".

Money can make the devil work, even in this world.

It is precisely because of this that David and others can shuttle back and forth in important colonies and core facilities of UNSC as if they were at home, as if they were in an unmanned place.

Three hours later

With the help of the key information of Shield World 0459 obtained by David, AI Loki has analyzed part of the data:

[Boss, based on the information provided by the Arcadia Ruins, combined with the coordinate system and data of the Harvest Star Ruins, we have successfully obtained the specific location of the Shield World. ]

After speaking, Loki projected a clear holographic screen, which showed a well-marked Shield World star map.

[Shield World 0459 is located in the southern star field outside the Orion Cantilever Arm, about 425 light years away from Harvest Star. ]

After hearing the report from AI Loki, Leon couldn't help but frown. He only knew the importance of the Shield World before, but he didn't expect that the Shield World was so far away from here.

Even if the Infinity-class starship led the troops there, it would probably take some time.

'It would be great if there was a slingshot megastructure, and it could immediately shuttle to that star field in the blink of an eye. ’

Leon couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Speed ​​is efficiency, but even if the distance is far, he has to lead the troops to the Shield World.

[In addition, we have also analyzed that the Shield World is quite close to the Star Alliance territory you mentioned earlier. ]

[That is to say, if we send an expeditionary force to the Shield World, there is a high probability that we will encounter the Star Alliance’s advance troops and clash with them. ]

AI Loki continued to add:

[Once this interstellar war starts, we are likely to suffer losses if we go on an expedition, so the decision to occupy the Shield World needs to be carefully considered. ]

Loki obviously understands the principle of "waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out". If the troops of the Universal Corporation want to reach the Shield World as soon as possible, they must use space jumps many times.

But this will cause a lot of energy loss. If their fleet arrives at the Shield World, I am afraid that they will not have an advantage in dealing with the Star Alliance’s advance troops.

However, even after learning these information points, Leon still did not intend to change his mind.

The key information, technology points, and even the "neurophysics" "gongfa" left by the pioneer civilization in the Shield World are all treasures that the Universal Corporation must obtain.

It is impossible to say that it is too far away or the enemy has got there first. Whoever dares to snatch things from the giant enterprise, then kill these ugly alien heretics!

"The ruins in the Shield World are related to whether we can gain a foothold in the 004 universe, so I will not give up the decision to occupy the Shield World."

Now that the leader has spoken, AI Loki will of course follow the other person's ideas.

Their subordinates only give information and suggestions, and the decision-making power is still in Li Ang's hands. It is the boss who really bears the risk, not himself.

【yes! ] Loki responded.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ang looked at AI Loki and continued to ask: "How is the cracking of the ruins on Harvest Star?"

[The current deciphering progress has reached 79%. 】

Loki's holographic image flashed, and the core deciphering results were presented in front of Li Ang:

[In this ruins site, we excavated the genetic samples of the Flood, as well as the coordinate system information of other ruins points, as well as related technological points. 】

[But it will take 45 days to fully decipher the contents of the ruins. 】

With AI Buttermos, AI Spider Murphy and other AIs present, Loki's deciphering process was very smooth and he basically encountered no difficult problems.

However, the remaining key information is all difficult to decipher and needs to be "milled" slowly over time.

"Okay, I will continue to send troops to instigate rebellion, capture more intelligent AIs, and help you speed up the deciphering work."

Li Ang is quite satisfied with the completion of the tasks of his subordinates, but don't waste time if you can get it done as soon as possible.

Always pursuing high efficiency, he just wanted to make comprehensive preparations before the UNSC and the Covenant made counterattacks or launched an invasion plan.

Speed ​​​​along the way is a man's romance.

【Okay boss! 】

As soon as he finished speaking, AI Loki dissipated his holographic projection and continued to use most of his computing power in the deciphering task.

Li Ang also turned around and left the center console, riding the Skyhawk shuttle above Ideal City, looking at the city skyline and the huge cyber holographic screen below.

In this rare moment of solitude, he recalled many events during this period and the strategic tasks deployed.

Speaking of the most important strategic goal of the giant company at the moment, it must be to capture the Shield World 0459 celestial body hundreds of light years away from the Harvest Star.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ang decided to use the Long Night as the core mothership and carry a huge expeditionary force to the galaxy where the shield world is located.

And he still sits firmly at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base as the commander, remotely commanding the expeditionary force to the Shield World through super-light communication equipment.

Since the Covenant fleet has not come here to play "burning glass", then Kou can go, and so can I!

Let the fleet of the giant company strike first, run to the Covenant's territory to catch them by surprise, seize the relics in the shield world, and bring along Francis and other researchers from the Department of Biotechnology.

If you really encounter trouble that you can't solve, just spread the manticore virus and kill these heretics!

The Covenant and the Flood will all die if they encounter the Manticore virus that only targets their genes.

'Now all we need is a Spartan II! ’

In the "Halo" universe, apart from neurophysics and star paths, what other technological point matters most to Leon? It is definitely the transformation technology of Spartan warriors.

The peak form of the Spartans - the second phase of the Spartans, is quite in line with the elite units in normal human form that the world's giants now need.

After all, a large tin can like V is not very convenient for sneaking into the normal human world to carry out investigations or assassination missions.

In the future conquest of the heavens and worlds, there will definitely be many tasks that require lurking and investigation to be carried out.

Unless you come to the "Three-Body" universe, where there are sophons monitoring at the microscopic level, all the movements of the giant companies in the world are under the observation of the Trisolarans.

But all the Trisolarans can do is just stare blankly and observe. Faced with the various high-tech means of the giant companies in the world, they don't even have time to run away!

After all, the core motherships of the world's giants all have hyper-light engines and anti-matter shields in front. Dropping a drop of water will destroy it, and it is easy to deal with the Trisolarans.

Thinking of this, Li Ang turned on the holographic screen and looked at the location of the fleet carried by Li De and Jack Wells.

Not long ago, he sent a battleship to Reach, preparing to secretly kidnap Dr. Kathleen Halsey and let her work for a giant company to develop the second phase of Spartan warriors.

As early as two days ago, the Infinity-class battleship had carried Li De, Jack and other Astartes warriors and arrived near the star field about 0.5 light-years away from Reach.

With the super-light engine of the Infinity-class battleship completing the space jump, this fleet does not need to complete the jump in the jump space, so the UNSC cannot detect their movements.

Under the command of Li De, this giant fleet has successfully avoided UNSC monitoring and quietly entered the low-Earth orbit of Reach.

The mission that Reed was going to perform this time was not only to kidnap Kathleen Halsey, a genius scientist, but also to take away all the experimenters including Master Chief John 117.

In this way, Li De and the others will definitely face crazy retaliation from ONI, and the giant companies in the world will also face UNSC searches until the two sides completely reveal their contradictions and have a fierce conflict!

However, after these days of preparations, Li Ang has completed 80% of the deployment of large troops, which is now enough to completely crush the armed forces of human civilization here.

With a huge factory like Ideal City for resource supply and a powerful fleet ready to go, plus Leon sitting in the headquarters of Wanjie, high-intensity unified deployment and command.

Compared with the UNSC and UEG, which are deeply involved in civil war and rebellion and the independence of colonies, it cannot be said that they are 100% defeated by the other side, but it is certainly nothing wrong to say in a low-key way that "the advantage is mine".

However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Leon will not go to war with the UNSC directly and start this interstellar war.

Including the Star Alliance, which is hundreds of light years away, he also tries to communicate with the other party as much as possible and try to enslave it to achieve the strategic goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.

Especially the Star Alliance, this group of street urchins seem to be united and like to kill, arson, gold belts, and brotherhood everywhere.

But in fact, like humans, they all have their own little calculations, and will stab each other in the back for their own interests.

It can be said that the behavior of this group of street slickers is the same as that of the 18 princes who fought against Dong Zhuo. When they are in an advantageous situation, they all want to rush up to grab heads, and when they are in an unfavorable situation, they just want to sit on the sidelines and wait for leaks.

When they see someone with low health, they will rush up to finish off the enemy immediately.

Including but not limited to their own allies.

Therefore, Li Ang can also adopt the means of internal division, winning over and suppressing, disintegrating the members of the Star Alliance, and regaining this force for his own use.

"I hope everything goes well for V and Li De."

Li Ang muttered in his heart.

…

…

At this moment, 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe!

More than 20 giant ships belonging to the Universal Corporation are anchored in a dockyard not far away.

Various types of transport boats are constantly traveling between the ships and the base, transporting necessary supplies and a large number of combat personnel for this fleet.

Moreover, among the 26 starships in this expeditionary fleet, 16 are Hyperion cruisers, 8 are RCS armored cruisers, and the remaining two core motherships are Infinity-class giant ships.

As the main flagship with a length of more than 5,000 meters, which can accommodate 40,000 people and a large number of ground and air vehicles, the Infinity-class super interstellar aircraft carrier is still the primary flagship choice of giant companies.

After all, whether it is the [War Moon] megastructure or the Long Night starship, it seems a bit "over-performance" to be used to go out and deal with a few rebels, and it feels like a cannon hitting a mosquito.

With the current fleet size, it is actually more than enough to deal with ordinary interstellar rebellion incidents.

In addition, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the core scientific research team in the scientific hub megastructure.

They have further reduced the manufacturing cost of the representative technology point from the Reaper civilization-energy shield!

The principle of the energy shield of the Reaper civilization is to use the extremely high energy provided by the nuclear fusion reactor and use a specific device to bind this energy in the corresponding strong magnetic field.

In this way, the force field forms a physical barrier visible to the naked eye.

Although the antimatter shield of the Universal Corporation is more effective and more defensive, it cannot withstand the high production cost of this good thing and cannot be used entirely on the fleet of the Corporation.

Only fleets that need to perform key combat missions can be equipped with such a luxurious defensive system.

Although the production cost of the energy shield of the Reaper civilization is not as high as that of the antimatter shield, it is also a relatively luxurious defensive device.

It is not so easy to assemble it on a large scale.

But now, the Science Hub has brought down the price! !

From now on, the energy shield can be fully equipped for formal troops.

In addition, a magnetic field offset device is also embedded in the outer armor of each ship, which is used as an additional line of defense against energy attacks when the energy shield is overloaded and fails.

As for the firepower system, V specifically dismantled two Ulparn super-heavy plasma lance main guns from the Long Night starship and installed them on the two Infinity-class flagships.

There is no other way, who made this lance main gun powerful? With this lance cannon, the magnetic acceleration cannon of the Infinity is really not good enough.

In addition, there are some four-rotor whale transport boats, 560 storm eagle gunboats and combat ornithopters, and a large number of assault boats.

Including ground vehicles Ronin Titan mecha, Ion Titan, Magic Lizard Chariot, Chimera Chariot, all have been prepared!
