Chapter 277 The end of integration! Escort! Return to Night City!

When the missionary appeared in front of the Astartes warriors, everyone subconsciously raised the muzzle of their guns a few inches, but without David's order, no one dared to fire without authorization.

At this time, David, who was standing at the front of the team, could clearly see that the missionary was wrapped in a huge armor, like a "tin can" larger than them.

But through the scanning of the auxiliary visual system, David noticed from the gap in the armor that the armor on the missionary was not a combat-type power armor, but a human body auxiliary device similar to medical use.

It was not until the explanation of the pioneer AI of [Passionate Witness 031] that David and others understood the role of the armor.

It turned out that before the missionary entered the tomb, he needed to be "dehydrated" first, that is, the missionary in the tomb was in a state of mummy throughout the whole process.

And the armor on it provided it with basic electrolyte substances and various nutrient solutions, so that the missionary could get material supplies when he was awakened.

However, after receiving these nutritional supplements, the missionary still needs to soak in the nutrient solution for half a month to fully activate all the functions of the body.

So the missionary in his current state is just a weak "mummy" and it is impossible for him to defeat this fully armed Astartes warrior.

"It seems that we have found the right place this time!"

David stepped forward. When he saw that the heavy armor seemed to have a slight breathing fluctuation, he knew that the missionary had awakened, but he could not take any action for the time being.

"Take him away!"

With David's order, the soldiers immediately lifted the missionary and the heavy armor together, including the tomb device.

Before this, David actually received the order to kill the missionary, but the premise of killing the missionary was that the other party was a threat to him.

But in the current state of the missionary, he could not act independently without the nutrient solution. It would be a pity to kill him like this. It is better to pack him up and leave him to the staff of the scientific research department for research.

After all, the missionary is still involved in a lot of Forerunner secrets. Even if there is no way to assimilate and brainwash the other party, prying out the information in the other party's mind is also a good choice.

…

…

The main universe, the city of the universe, Night City!

As the capital of the universe giant, Night City is now full of giant buildings. Tens of thousands of AI drones and NCPD's anti-riot airships are galloping between dense and neat aerial tracks.

At the same time, the maglev trains, buses, and yachts in the sky are also shuttled between various giant buildings according to the established routes and speeds under the coordination of the meticulous public transportation system.

Of course, the means of transportation running around Night City are not only the law enforcement department and public flying vehicles, but also many civilian maglev airships and luxury car vehicles.

At this moment, in the acceleration channel of Watson District in Night City, an airship escorted by flapping-wing aircraft and AI drones is flying smoothly over the sky.

This airship, escorted by Night City Detective Chief River, is the secret vehicle that carries the core high-level figures of the UNSC in the Halo universe.

At this moment, looking at the super-giant medical center below Watson District, as well as the luxurious Super Dream Club, casino and large port.

Andrew couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the capital of the world's giant company, Ideal City, would have such a scene, it's exaggerated!"

Thousands of meters of cyber giant screens, psychedelic and dazzling neon lights, flying back and forth in the air... Many scenes make Andrew feel like he is in a fantasy.

In fact, only the scenes in Watson District and Westbrook District are so fancy. The headquarters of the giant company located in the city hall are all solemn and strict urban patterns.

There is no dazzling light pollution, nor so many luxurious places. There are only meticulous giant buildings, and the people inside are working around the clock.

Terrence, the UNSC admiral, was calm, but after seeing the scene below, he was surprised and shocked by the capital of the giant company, just like Andrew.

This place is much more prosperous and luxurious than Sydney on the Earth of "Halo", and the diversified cultural thoughts are dazzling.

If the technological level of humans in "Halo" is used, it will take at least two hundred years of development to reach the level of Ideal City before they have a chance to catch up!

Unlike Terrence and Andrew, Margaret's attention at this time was not on the pattern and scene of Watson District.

Along the way, she has been guessing the real reason why Leon escorted them to Ideal City.

Now, Margaret guessed that Leon would arrange different positions for them in the future. After all, doing so is the most in line with the interests of the giant company.

In the past few days, Margaret has been actively contacting information from the outside world.

Through the summary of various information, she learned that the Universal Corporation almost exhausted all its foreign war resources during the period of unifying the "Halo" universe.

Since there are many human colonies in the Halo universe, and it is in a period of chaos and turmoil, it also needs a lot of grassroots executives to manage them.

This means that the Universe Corporation not only needs to station a large number of soldiers in the Halo universe, but also a large number of administrators to calm down the colonies everywhere.

Just the two human forces of UNSC and the rebels require the giant company to arrange a lot of giant company executives to stay in the universe for a long time.

But this will also lead to a shortage of management personnel in the main universe. If the senior executives of the "Halo" universe are transferred to the ideal city, Leon can supervise them personally.

And fill the shortage of management personnel!

The most important thing is that Leon can also re-disrupt and distribute the power circle structure within the giant company, reshape the pattern he wants, and prevent the problem of institutional stagnation.

This decision to transfer and change positions is undoubtedly the most in line with the interests of the giant company.

"Secretary Lucy, I heard that you dealt with all the intelligent AIs of our UNSC three years ago. Is this true?"

At this moment, Margaret suddenly spoke up and looked at Lucy who was escorting them in front of her.

Facing Margaret's question, Lucy was frank, nodded, and said bluntly: "Yes, we have taken full control of you and the rebels' intelligent AI through the AI ​​Parliament."

"Those AIs have made indelible contributions to the integration of the Halo universe by the Universal Corporation, and our boss has also included them in the management."

"Have you heard of the cabinet department of the Universal Corporation? The members there are basically all intelligent AIs, and they only obey the boss and have the right to understand and dispatch all departments of the Universal Corporation!"

Lucy's words surprised Terrence, Andrew and Margaret. It was hard for them to imagine how the Universal Corporation could rebel against so many intelligent AIs at the same time.

However, it is no wonder that no matter what kind of action deployment the UNSC and the Front rebels make, they will always be detected by the Universal Corporation's troops in advance.

It turns out that the other party has planted an insider next to them!

But what made Margaret and the others feel even more incredible was that Leon actually used the intelligent AI as his own cabinet minister.

You know, UNSC uses AI as a pure tool, and replaces it when it is broken. It is impossible to communicate with AI and make core decisions.

After all, tools can only be tools, and they cannot be used as core senior management.

Besides, Leon gave such great authority to the intelligent AI. Isn't he afraid of causing an intelligent crisis!

Lucy still patiently answered the doubts of Terrence and others. When they learned about the existence of the matrix, the senior management of UNSC was confused again.

The technological background of the Universal Corporation has far exceeded their imagination. To a certain extent, the achievements of the Corporation in AI are comparable to the level of the pioneers in "gravity" technology.

"It seems that I have wronged the ONI department. Your defeat under the giant corporation is an inevitable result. Whoever comes will end up the same."

Terrence laughed at himself. He glanced at Margaret with a complicated expression. He originally complained that the other party's ONI agent was too lame.

But now, even if Margaret's agents noticed the invasion of the giant company's agents and the rebellion of the intelligent AI, it would be useless.

With the strong strength of the Universal Giant Company, it is only a matter of time before they lose to the other party.

At this moment, Margaret ignored Terrence's ridicule, but was thinking quickly about the position she might take.

Originally, he thought that Li Ang valued him and would arrange a core senior position for him, such as a position that could influence decision-making and deployment.

But now, the other party does not need to make suggestions at all. It seems that there are not a few senior employees as smart as her!

Then what position will be left for her...!

"I heard that the interstellar war of the United Star Alliance has entered the countdown. Alas! I wonder if there will be a chance to lead a naval force again in the future."

"I really want to fight those bastards of the Star Alliance and try the hard light cannons of the giant enterprise!"

At this time, Andrew couldn't help but sigh. As the captain of the Carthage-class aircraft carrier of the UNSC, he still missed his days in the fleet.

After all, only there can he prove his worth. Obviously, his naval strength is not bad. It's a pity that he has never had any chance to lead the team since he was captured by the giant enterprise.

Now the Universal Giant Enterprise has fully taken over the senior leaders, core generals, and aircraft carrier-class captains of the UNSC and UEG. All of these people have been escorted to the Ideal City.

I don't know what fate awaits them.

Seeing Andrew's worried look, Lucy couldn't help but chuckle, and then comforted him:

"Don't worry, the boss asked you to come here for job transfers. Some of you will be promoted, and some will start over."

"But more people will be assigned to other positions to shine. In short, you will be safe and start a new life in a new place."

"As for the war of the unified Star Alliance, the Universal Alliance is now advancing like a hot knife through butter. Your naval generals are not needed for the time being, but there will be opportunities soon."

According to the news summary of these days, Lucy has learned that the Star Alliance of the Prophet and the Jiralhanae is now in a stage of retreat.

As more and more Forerunner ruins are excavated by the giant enterprise, a large number of Sojourner Dreadnoughts are controlled by the giant enterprise. With the help of these Sojourner Dreadnoughts, the Universal Alliance is completely killing indiscriminately on the front battlefield.

The Prophets still wanted to rely on the number of warships of the Covenant to win, which has become an unattainable fantasy.

Although the population, resources, and industrial areas of the Star Alliance are much greater than those of the human camp in "Halo", including the resources of the giant companies in the world.

But wars, especially interstellar wars, often compete not only for material resources, but also for strategic resources!

Weapons and technology are crucial strategic resources. The Sojourner Dreadnought is a strategic weapon for giant companies in the world.

Relying on the powerful Sojourner Dreadnought, the Allied Forces of the World can often achieve impressive results in naval battles against one hundred or even one thousand!

Two Sojourners paired with several frigates can form an extremely powerful main gun matrix, capable of destroying hundreds of CRS-class battleships and CCS-class cruisers at the same time.

Even the huge CSO-class aircraft carrier's armor can only withstand two hard-light main gun strikes at most, but under normal circumstances, the Sojourner only needs one shot to achieve an annihilation effect.

Because the Sojourner can first use gravity field distortion to destroy the outer armor of the Covenant aircraft carrier, and then use the main gun to destroy the enemy's hull in one fell swoop.

In addition, the elites are good at naval warfare, and their business capabilities are much better than those of the Prophets and Jiralhanae. Therefore, the Star Alliance army has already shown its decline in the face of the attack of the Allied forces!

If it weren't for the fact that the Star Alliance's territory occupies more than half of the galaxy and has a wide enough strategic depth, the Allied Forces would have completed their integration long ago.

Judging from the current progress of the conquest, it will take at most half a year for the entire Star Alliance and the Milky Way to be captured by global giants.

However, during this period, the giant companies in the world still need a large number of troops to station and deal with corresponding hidden dangers. The original military resources of the giant companies are still somewhat redundant.

But since the operation to unify the "Halo" universe has been carried out, the development department of the global giant has been recruiting troops vigorously, so as to replenish enough warriors and soldiers.

Thanks to the rich human resources of the giant company, and the clones and clone factories in Ideal City running at full capacity, it is more than enough to make up enough troops.

Of course, if the global giants want to completely integrate and control the "Halo" universe, half a year alone is definitely not enough. They also need long-term troops stationed and operated.

The Star Alliance is still a Level 2 civilization. Although most of its technological equipment is based on tomb robbing and free prostitution, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if it collapses or collapses one day, its influence will still exist, and its resurgence is the last thing Li Ang wants to see.

Therefore, the giant companies in the world not only want to completely wipe out the main fleet of the Star Alliance, but also have to fight hard and create a fierce force to scare other species and civilizations!

In addition, halo arrays must be built near other civilizations as corresponding deterrent weapons.

Anyone who dares to rebel will be immediately physically destroyed!

"Secretary Lucy, I heard that a giant company has discovered an Ark device outside the galaxy. That device can create a halo. Is this true?"

At this time, Terrence looked at Lucy and asked curiously.

As the marshal of the UNSC, he has always been very interested in things like weapons and battleships, otherwise he would not have tried every means to build a new era, Carthage-class aircraft carrier.

After learning that the world's giants were looking for the Ark, Terrence always wanted to know more information.

"Well, it's true."

Lucy nodded. She knew everything about these senior UNSC personnel. After all, they would be her colleagues before long.

"Our engineering team is trying to figure out how to drive the Ark device outside the Milky Way to the outer orbit of the solar system so that it can be fixed as the ninth planet for a long time."

Thanks to the control panel of the Ark, there is a propulsion device to start the movement of the Ark, but the process of adjusting the movement of the Ark is relatively slow. After all, this thing is as big as 10 Earths.

Judging from the current progress, it will take at least two or three years before it can be completely transported to the solar system.

In addition, the scientific research department of the giant company has not forgotten to conduct a series of research and development on Ark and try to reverse engineer relevant technological points.

Like the Ark and the Forerunner portal, these are devices that the scientific research departments of giant companies in the world urgently need to study.

You know, a device that can teleport extremely large objects to any corner of the galaxy in an instant must have such incredible technological content.

The diameter of the Milky Way is nearly 200,000 light-years long. It is really not an exaggeration to say that this space dimension ability is the "power of gods"!

Now, the scientific research team headed by Kathleen Halsey and the forerunner AI [Passionate Witness 031] all stay on the Ark to conduct long-term cracking research.

With the missionary's tomb, it was much easier for them to check the forerunners' think tank information.

After learning about the Ark and the portal, these UNSC executives all showed expressions of astonishment and surprise.

But despite being shocked inside, I still feel a little proud of human civilization.

Although they have become prisoners of the world's giant corporations, this does not prevent them from being happy for the prosperity and revival of mankind.

When she saw Terrence and others exclaiming at each other, Lucy turned her head and glanced at another airship outside the porthole. That military-grade airship was carrying missionaries!

As one of the few surviving pioneers in the Halo universe, the Didact is the focus of research by the giant company, even if there is no way to persuade the other party.

Using AI brainwashing tools or matrix connection forced control to find out the information that the other party has learned, it can be regarded as the value provided by the Didact.

Of course, Leon will still try to control the Didact as much as possible and use it for his own benefit.

Who made this guy a military genius, an alien killer who can lead a team to crush the ancient humans? Such a dazzling qualification still has some gold content!

Just as Lucy was looking at the airship outside, a prompt sound suddenly sounded, which made everyone in the cabin subconsciously cheer up.

The capital of Ideal City, the headquarters of Night City, finally arrived!
