Chapter 256: Harak! Layout! Justification! The power to set the field ablaze

Chapter 256 Halak! layout! A famous teacher! A prairie fire!

Ideal City, the headquarters of Wanjie Base!

"Boss, Li De and Jack have followed Morami and the others into the interlayer space. They are expected to arrive at the City of Charity in 72 hours."

The "staff" who spoke was none other than Li Ang's cabinet secondary assistant AI Loki. It has now become one of Li Ang's personal assistant AIs and is mainly responsible for reporting on these basic affairs.

As well as presiding over the AI ​​Council, recruiting and controlling other smart AIs so that they can be used by giant companies.

As for the previous AI White Queen, she is currently focusing on protecting the network systems of cities around the world to avoid being attacked by hackers and causing communication chaos.

The Red Queen is responsible for monitoring the information of all departments of the giant companies in the world. If there is any disturbance, Li Ang will be informed of the situation as soon as possible.

Li Ang would usually turn a blind eye to innocuous corruption, secret collusion, and small actions of party members fighting against dissidents, and just sit back and watch the people below fight with crickets.

But when it comes to matters of principle, he will send someone to wipe out any traces as soon as possible. The perpetrators and what happened will be as if they never existed.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even in the most politically transparent interior, there will inevitably be spoilage and dross. As an executive of a giant company, Li Ang only needs to be aware of it.

After listening to the AI ​​Loki's report, Li Ang, who was sitting at his desk thoughtfully, nodded and responded:

"Okay, I get it."

Regarding the combination of Li De and Jack Wills, Li Ang is relatively reassured.

Jack is capable of fighting and rushing, and is expected to become the second Primaris Astartes warrior. Li De is a veteran in the workplace, having been promoted from the CIA to the second-in-command of the Ace Advance Team.

It is certainly impossible to say that he has no political IQ.

Sending these two people on a trip this time is equivalent to Liu Bei assigning Fazheng to Guan Yu to go on a business trip to Jingzhou.

The two of them have similar job levels and can make up for each other's shortcomings. They can discuss everything without delaying things.

After instructing AI Loki to send a reminder to Li De, Li Ang continued to browse the situation in other heavens and universes.

After a while, according to the latest report from V and other executives, the development situation and external environment of each universe were normal, and no abnormal events occurred.

After he breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that nothing happened, Li Ang cleared the mess of read messages on the screen and clicked to check a new email——

[Job report of Engineer Halak]

The so-called Harak is actually an intelligent biological machine that David previously searched for in the Covenant's scientific research fleet. It has the ability to repair and replicate itself.

"Halak" means "artificial genius" in Latin. This intelligent species is a semi-mechanical, semi-organic nanotechnology creature created by the forerunners to maintain their own technological devices.

However, although Haraks are only semi-mechanical creations, their social status is not low. In the hierarchy of the Forerunners, Haraks have the same status as citizens and are protected by law.

The top of the Forerunner social class is the "Architect", and Halak is the architect's apprentice, equivalent to the "apprentice" who serves as their subordinate.

And Harak can indeed be called the chosen workers. They are extremely patient with everything and are easily tamed. They do not like to communicate with other species and only focus on their work.

Hard-working, stay-at-home, no personal social circle, work is all there is to do, and will not delay the progress of the business due to personal matters. Isn't this the "wage earner" that every boss dreams of!

Such high-quality natural-selected workers are absolutely delicious no matter which civilization or era they are placed in.

And that's exactly what happened.

The Halaks who survived the Flood War immediately demonstrated their excellent business capabilities after being discovered by the Covenant fleet.

This made the talent-loving prophets grin from ear to ear, and they immediately made these Halaks serve as the chief engineers of the Covenant, responsible for scientific research and maintenance of Forerunner devices and battleships.

And from the ruins of the Forerunners everywhere, archaeological excavations have unearthed various technological information, precious Forerunner creations, and technological devices.

This is the benefit of being a craftsman. You will be able to live forever and you will always have this kind of food to eat. Every force regards itself as a treasure.

And it is precisely because of Halabi's quality as a laborer that the prophet, who is accustomed to misbehaving, is afraid that Halabi will suddenly change jobs and work as a laborer for other forces.

Therefore, the prophet, with the morbid mentality that since he couldn't get it, no one else could get it, forced himself to stuff a self-explosion bomb into Halabi's body.

It is precisely because of this kind of pathological behavior that Halabi developed a resistance to the prophet family, so he just worked 24 hours a day for free.

And plant self-exploding bombs in their bodies? Isn’t this pure animal behavior?

Although the Halabis are a bit nerdy, they are not stupid, so when faced with the invitation from the giant company in the world, they almost didn't think twice and agreed immediately.

I can't wait to get on the job now and start working for a giant company.

And with such high-quality workers, there are a total of 60 Halabi engineers in the scientific expedition fleet sent by the Star Alliance this time.

Their main tasks are to ensure the normal operation of the battleship's engines and shield generator devices, as well as to excavate and analyze information on ground ruins.

30 of them have already entered the jump space with Morami's fleet and returned to the capital of the Star Alliance, the City of Brotherly Love.

As for the remaining half, they stayed in the core area of ​​the Shield World and accepted the unified job arrangement of the Universal Corporation.

With such rare species resources, Leon certainly decided to use this group of Harabi engineers in the Science Hub Department and the Engineering Department.

Some are used to assist the scientific research department in technological breakthroughs and R\u0026D progress, and some are used to specifically maintain the Sojourner Dreadnought and help decipher and reproduce the scientific and technological achievements of the Forerunners.

Only with professional matching can there be no waste of talent resources.

After replying to all the emails, Leon took Secretary-General Lucy and flew through the star gate in a shuttle and came to the sky above the core area of ​​the Shield World.

He looked down at this magnificent celestial world, watching the light of the artificial sun, which fell through the hard light material, making the entire structure of the Shield World emit a dazzling brilliance.

During these three months, the construction of the Shield World has never stopped.

As many as 32 large dockyards are assembling and welding warships of various levels in an orderly manner.

Countless Hex robots and Temple Defenders are circulating between the dockyards, assisting the mechanical arms on the assembly line to work.

After signing the Recycler Recognition Agreement with the [031 Enthusiastic Witness] Forerunner AI, Leon's giant company took over all the Temple Defenders in the Shield World.

Although the Universal Giant Company cannot produce AI as useful as the Temple Defender for a while, the number of ready-made defenders in the Shield World is enough for Leon to build a large number of giant buildings.

This is why the Universal Giant Company can produce thousands of warships that can be put into use in just a few months, just like making dumplings.

From aircraft carriers to cruisers and destroyers, everything is available.

As the shuttle flew deeper, Leon saw the warships docked in the dockyard. Due to the fast production speed, the bridge group, maintenance group, logistics group and other shipboard personnel could not keep up.

Therefore, the Transcendental AI Europa has been calculating human resources these days and deploying new employees from other universes to the Shield World.

As for the combat personnel on board, Li Ang does not need to worry too much.

After all, the armed members of the giant companies who have signed formal contracts have reached hundreds of millions. As long as Li Ang is willing, he can burst out hundreds of millions of troops at any time.

There are countless soldiers in the reserve regiment waiting in line to join the fleet, so there is no need to worry about this issue at all.

It’s just that the logistical resources that need to be allocated to the new recruits do require some preparation time.

Resources such as exoskeleton devices, power armor, various weapons and equipment, carrier-based aircraft, etc., all require the production area of ​​Ideal City to be built for one or two months before they can be prepared.

There is no way, the interstellar war is fought with logistics, and it is the productivity of a civilization.

Now the factories in the production area of ​​​​Universe City are basically full, and they can’t hold up if there are more.

In fact, it’s true that the factory area in Ideal City alone can withstand most of the production demand orders of various departments in the four universes. This productivity is already quite powerful!

If it weren't for other colonies that continuously supplied cheap raw materials, the Universal Corporation would have long been unable to sustain such a huge expenditure.

In terms of raw materials and resource transportation, the Universal Corporation not only has a huge trade circle, but also operates like the United States, and can extract blood and value from its own brothers.

There are also a full-level material decompressor and a newly created material decompressor. When it catches two black holes, it starts to squeeze ore and extract a steady stream of materials.

In this way, Leon can maintain the normal operation of the Universal Corporation and the development of productivity.

Although the Universal Corporation still has a considerable amount of spare capacity to support Leon to play a big one, such as opening up a new universe of the heavens, or having a huge interstellar war with the Star Alliance.

But Leon has a good habit of never betting all his resources.

Only desperadoes will go all-in and play a big one at any time. After all, for them, losing means just starting over.

But once you win, you will get back all your capital and interest.

However, most of the time, there are more gamblers who rely on poker to get to the rooftop, and there are very few leaders who can snowball and accumulate a lot through steady operation.

The larger the force, the more it needs to leave enough redundancy for itself, so that it is convenient to cut meat and turn around in time, or leave capital for a comeback.

For the situation in the "Halo" universe, Leon's strategy is to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time, otherwise it is easy to get hurt if the step is too big.

First lay out a series of strategies, and it is not too late to make efforts after gaining a firm foothold.

The prerequisite for speed pass is to exchange the greatest victory for the smallest cost. Relying on war to push forward and crush all the way is the most wasteful and prodigal decision.

Once the cannon is fired, gold is worth a lot.

Leon would rather keep the resources for the war on production than to easily start a war, so the mission of Reed and Jack this time is quite critical.

The first thing they have to do is to win over the elites, win strong allies for the giant companies, and cause divisions within the Star Alliance.

When the internal chaos of the Star Alliance comes, it will be the time for the giant companies to come out and make the final decision and reap the aftermath.

Of course, the worst-case scenario must be considered in everything, so Leon also prepared the most elite Astartes warriors for Li De and Jack.

A total of 5,000 people!

All these warriors are equipped with at least two different sets of armor, anti-Hulk armor, various types of MarkX power armor, and the weapons selected also include the most advanced firearms of the giant company.

Hard light weapons alone can be equipped with two!

Two ace advance team executives, with 5,000 elite Astartes warriors, really come to the moment of tearing their faces, this batch of armed forces is enough for Reed and Jack to make a final decision.

Settle the chaos in the City of Brotherly Love!

Of course, Leon's primary goal of sending Reed and Jack is to win over the internal tribes of the Star Alliance and divide their forces.

Rather than playing a decapitation operation right from the start.

That is a bad strategy that can only be made when there is no other choice.

After all, once the senior leaders of the Prophet are killed, it means that the way out of negotiation and winning over is completely blocked. At that time, Leon will have to devote energy and resources to exterminate races such as the Jiralhanae.

The situation that could have been wiped out in one fell swoop has become a long tug-of-war, which is not worthwhile.

Therefore, the identity of "recycler" designated by the forerunners needs to be used well. It is important to win over the members of the Star Alliance who have a tendency to fanatically follow the forerunners.

When the Star Alliance falls into civil strife, or even falls apart and attacks each other, it is time for Leon to launch a full-scale attack and unify the Star Alliance and the human camp at the same time!

Yes, Leon not only has his eyes on the Star Alliance, but also on the humans in the "Halo" universe.

Whether it is the powerful UNSC camp or the human rebel camp that is fighting everywhere, they are all unstable factors and forces that need to be conquered by the giant enterprise.

At that time, Leon will first send out an advance team to convey the development concepts of "Star Alliance", "recycler", and the world giant enterprise to each human force.

And require the UNSC and the rebels to all join the camp of the giant enterprise, and the three parties will work together to create a better tomorrow.

Of course, the above deployments are definitely useless, but Leon did not expect to be able to take down the forces of these two camps without any damage by propaganda.

This is just a courtesy before force, a reminder to the UNSC and the rebels, those who obey will get candy, and those who disobey will be punished.

If it goes as expected, the UNSC and the rebels will definitely sneer at the giant company's persuasion to surrender, and maybe they will even join forces to fight back against the Universal Corporation.

The reason is simple.

The source of power and status has always been bloody, and it can only be obtained by defeating the opponent.

For the executives of the UNSC, they are the boss and have a good life. Suddenly, an unknown force emerges and wants to take them in as a younger brother. How could they agree?

It's as if everyone has a few interstellar aircraft carriers. Why should the UNSC surrender to the Universal Corporation!

The same is true for the rebels.

They were doing well on the road of rebellion and entrepreneurship. Although the rebel group has not yet been listed, the development potential and prospects are still quite good!

After all, with the UNSC's inhumane operations, each colony has potential development targets and customer sources for the rebels. It is not impossible to take off with the help of the powerful in the future.

How could the inexplicable company, the Universal Corporation, suddenly come and forcefully acquire it at a bargain price? This is totally unacceptable!

For such a situation, it is exactly what Leon wants to see. He can use this excuse to catch them all in one fell swoop, so that he will not be unnamed and bear the stigma of being unethical.

If the two major human camps can be taken down by persuading them to surrender, Leon is not very reassured, and suspects that the other party is playing some tricks on him.

Thinking back to the past, the reason why Leon was able to lead his LA company to annex various cyber giants and disintegrate the arrogant European Community.

It mainly depends on the absolute crushing ability, when other cyber giants are still playing the old ground troops, AI drones, and AI tanks.

Li Ang's LA company is already able to produce a giant like the Infinity-class aircraft carrier. The result of it breaking at the first touch naturally makes it easy to persuade the executives of other cyber giants to surrender.

But the UNSC and the rebels also have starships. Although there is a gap in the scale of the two sides, it is not completely impossible to fight.

The universe is so big, it is not impossible to run away with a starship, play guerrilla tactics with the giants, and be an interstellar garbage man, picking up equipment and developing power.

Therefore, after comprehensive analysis, Li Ang can guess that the UNSC and the rebels will not easily accept the recruitment of the Universal Corporation.

When the UNSC and the rebels begin to sing against the giants and prepare to fight, Li Ang will first use AI Loki to instruct various intelligent AIs to spread public opinion.

Encourage humans in various colonies, control the direction of public opinion, and promote the gospel of the Universal Corporation.

First plant a seed in the hearts of civilians, and when the giants win, these seeds will burst into flames and form a raging fire.

For the people of Goose City, it doesn't matter who wins between Huang Silang and the county magistrate. What matters is that they only help the winner.

Similarly, as long as Li Ang crushes the UNSC and the rebels with a hearty and overwhelming momentum, what awaits the world giant is "food and drink to welcome the king's army"!

After letting the people of Goose City see who has a better future to follow, the base of the UNSC and the rebels will be completely dug out.

In addition, the research and development plan of the "Spartan II Warrior" led by Dr. Catherine Halsey has also made some progress.

It is expected that the first batch of mature experimental products will be launched in a year.

If Halsey follows the original research and development schedule, it will take at least 20 to 30 years, and at least more than ten years to launch the second generation of Spartan warriors.

But thanks to the scientific research department of the Universal Corporation, it has been studying the technology of gene seeds over the years, so it has relevant technical accumulation in human body modification.

Halsey only needs to fine-tune the direction and change something else to create the Spartan warrior she envisioned.

Even this generation of Spartan warriors may be stronger than the originally set second-phase Spartan!

In the public colleges established by the Universal Corporation, Li Ang also began to recruit a group of talented students, training and cultivating them into Astartes warriors or Spartan warriors from an early age.

The advantage of this is that the warriors have undergone rigorous training since childhood, and they are young warriors with full combat effectiveness when they graduate, and they can be pulled out at any time.

Of course, the Universal Corporation does not need to capture children and force them to transform and experiment like the UNSC.

Every child who wants to enter the academy of the Universal Corporation must first obtain permission from their parents and pass the various assessments before they can enter the Warrior Academy for further study.

However, the second-phase Spartan warrior transformation technology developed by Dr. Halsey this time is not only for children, but can also be used to transform adults.

People like Rita, William Cage, etc. have the opportunity to become the first batch of Spartan warriors of the Universal Corporation!
