Chapter 2028 Umbrella's Secret (Part 1)
2029, Umbrella's Secret (Part 1)
Alfred Ashford looked a little ugly. He grabbed his neatly combed golden hair, and then seemed to feel that this was a disgrace to his elegance, so he quickly straightened his hair again.
Then, he connected a communication. A majestic man wearing a dark blue military coat, with gray hair, and looking about 50 years old appeared in the holographic projection.
"Sergey Vladimir, can you tell me that the turmoil on the planet Chalseton has been resolved by you!" Alfred Ashford asked.
The majestic man named Sergei snorted coldly, "The rebels are probably involved in this matter. Our people have been empty-handed twice and still failed to catch the target. I said, if you really want to solve this matter, you need to send the U.S.S. Only the ghost agents assigned to the U.S.S. can find those elusive rebels."
"Why must the U.S.S. be used! I'm not feeding pigs by spending so much money to support the U.B.C.S." Alfred's face was gloomy.
"You should know that many former Jedi Knights have joined the rebels. And this time the U.B.C.S. returned empty-handed, probably because the other side has Jedi Knights." Sergei Vladimir said coldly.
"Jedi Knights are not a reason you use to whitewash your failure." Alfred Ashford gritted his teeth.
"But it is an objective factor. Don't forget that we killed 6 Jedi Knights last year. None of them was because of my misjudgment." Sergei Vladimir said.
"No! We must not use the U.S.S. this time!" Alfred said loudly.
"To dispatch the ghost agents of the U.S.S., Alexia's permission is needed. If you don't want to face your sister, I can do it for you." Sergei Vladimir said, "The suspected virus aptamer that appeared this time is the only one that has appeared in the past six months. In order to complete the experiment of the "Ant Colony" plan, we must extract the virus inhibitor from the aptamer. Now the military is paying close attention to this plan, and we don't have time to find a second aptamer."
Alfred slammed his fist on the table, "Asshole! Why did you find the aptamer from a few trafficked slaves! Asshole!!"
"Shouldn't the more critical question be why civilians on the planet Seria were infected with the T-Veronica virus? And the infected people were taken away from the planet Seria. If this is not due to management loopholes, perhaps the problem we face will be more serious." Sergei said.
"No, Tang Xiao can't know about this! We can't let them know that we are conducting biochemical experiments on a habitable planet!" Alfred held his head, "He will definitely kill me! Just like he killed William Birkin before!"
Sergei said expressionlessly: "Since you are afraid of death, then report to the lady honestly. At least she won't kill you."
"This is none of your business!" Alfred roared and turned off the communication.
He was panting like an angry hyena at this moment. After a long time, he rubbed his twisted and stiff cheeks hard, trying to make his expression more natural. Then he practiced in front of the mirror several times to ensure that there would be no problems with his lines and appearance.
Then he connected to a unique communication.
The holographic projection flashed, and a girl with long golden hair and a lavender dress appeared. Her appearance was delicate and beautiful, and she looked only a teenager at most. However, in her beautiful eyes, there was a maturity and grace that did not belong to this age.
Alfred Ashford had also turned back into the elegant gentleman. He gave the girl a noble salute and then said, "My dear sister, Alexia. The research and development of the 'Ant Colony' project has encountered some obstacles, but the military is currently putting a lot of pressure on us. So, I think we need to think of some countermeasures."
The beautiful girl Alexia Ashford smiled coldly and said, "Are you talking about the aptamer? I have already sent the U.S.S. out. I have always been confident in your incompetence. As long as there is a problem, you will definitely have a problem."
Alfred's face turned pale. He did not expect that Alexia knew about it immediately after the incident. This result made him a little frightened.
After Alexia Ashford and he were awakened by Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao immediately asked Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group to split up and set aside a research institute for Alexia. And later, he also added investment so that Alexia could carry out her own research plan.
This move greatly improved the strength of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, and in the following years, Alexia Ashford also showed talent that was no less than that of Shirley Birkin, and even in the field of research, she was much better than Shirley Birkin.
Gradually, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals formed a situation where two giants coexisted. On one side, Shirley Birkin, who inherited the tradition of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals and was the founder of the group, had the most mature product line and market share, and also had stable orders.
On the other side, there is Alexia Ashford, who is determined to make progress and constantly launches newer and stronger products under her unparalleled research capabilities. As a distinction, many people call this part of the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group Umbrella (Veronica).
However, Alexia is not too concerned about the operation of the group. She just devotes herself to her own research and gives all her assets to Alfred to operate. However, the core of their part is still Alexia, and she still controls the real power.
This is also the result of Tang Xiao's deliberate division.
Because in the actual development, he found that as a pharmaceutical company, Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group is actually the fastest growing among the major companies under the Fourth Civilization! Even companies such as Terran Heavy Industries, Halo Weapon Systems Group, and Citadel Standard Light Industry, which specialize in industrial manufacturing, are developing rapidly.
Before that, Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group was already the largest business group under the Fourth Civilization after the Fourth Group!
The reason is that the products of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals are practical, rich, and the fields they are involved in are too wide.
Umbrella Pharmaceuticals' biggest business is their medicine. They have developed a large number of medicines for various diseases, and have also launched a variety of healing items, health products, etc., almost dominating at least 70% of the market in hospitals in the Principality of Dawn.
Then they also developed medicines that can transform and strengthen the body, mainly for military use. The fourth group of soldiers, as well as the Spartan Project led by Dr. Halsey, the biological enhancement and biological transformation in them are almost all from Umbrella Pharmaceuticals.
After that, they also developed biological weapons, not only virus weapons, but also B.O.W, biological weapons. The most famous of them is the Injori Avenger, which once frightened the army of the Galactic Republic. In addition, biological weapons such as Lickers have also been used in street fighting at night, and have achieved good results.
This is not over yet. The military is now stepping up its efforts to study brain implants, which are also researched and produced by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals in cooperation with the military.
Even Tang Xiao himself was using the essence transfer technique to equip many pilots of the Principality of Dawn and soldiers of the Fourth Legion with a rebirth plan, so that they could be resurrected infinitely. This project was also completed by the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group in cooperation with the Fourth Group.
Special events occurred, such as the First Exploration Fleet discovered a mysterious infectious organism, the God of Decay, Mnggal-Mnggal, which also went to the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group for research.
Is it over? There is another big head. Now the Principality of Dawn is mapping the genetic map of all human races in the country, as well as the gene cutting project, which is also done by the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group! The 600 billion people of the planet Lundili, the epidemic prevention work during the migration process, sorry, it is still Umbrella!
In the first few years of the development of the Fourth Civilization, because the main forces were concentrated in the military industry, the power of industrial companies such as Terran Heavy Industries and Higra Aerospace Group skyrocketed. But after the end of the Clone Wars, the Principality of Dawn entered a stable development period and began to invest resources in other industries, and the Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group almost snowballed.
So why did Shirley Birkin go to the First Exploration Fleet and take over everything directly, without taking Lieutenant General He Ru and Captain Shepard of the military into consideration? It is because she has the strength and capital!
Why did Alfred Ashford directly use the expensive wine equivalent to the price of a cruiser to entertain Lin Nanyi? It is because he can drink luxury goods of this level as water!
With such huge resources in hand, Alfred Ashford simply felt that he was below Tang Xiao and his sister, above billions of people, and had the power to kill and take away the power of the super noble.
So he even planned to propose to Shirley Birkin and continued to pursue her. He believed that once he succeeded, the huge power of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group would be in his hands alone, which would be a super power that would shake the galaxy with a stomp of his feet!
But this time, Alexia Ashford directly told him with reality that anything that happened here would be known to her at the first time. This also shows that the so-called power in his hands was actually just given to him by Alexia.
Of course, Alexia had proved this to him more than once.
However, in the face of such huge interests, it is almost inevitable that people will forget about eating and not about fighting.
Alfred's expression froze, and he quickly said: "The situation is under control! The adapter will be caught by the afternoon at the latest!"
"I suggest you do this. This matter cannot be exposed, because the "Ant Colony" plan, I reported to Tang Xiao that it was tested on the bugs on the planet Noi-Haang." Alexia said, "The voices of the Selian people and the primitive bugs on the planet Noi-Haang that degenerated from the Kilik bug swarm are not the same in politics. If the matter is really exposed, you will have to bear the responsibility."
"Don't worry! There will be no problem!" Alfred said, showing an expression that he thought was elegant, "I will never let you down. Seeing your beautiful cheeks bloom with a smile is my greatest happiness."
In fact, although Alfred inherited the excellent genes of the Ashford family and looked handsome and majestic, his expression at this moment looked a little distorted due to guilt and stiffness.
"It's best this way." Alexia glanced at her brother, her eyes neither sad nor happy, as if she were looking at a stone.
In fact, Alfred can't be said to be unsmart, he can still manage Umbrella (Veronica) very well most of the time. It's just that his intelligence is only at the level of a mortal. It's still far from his extraordinary wisdom.
Therefore, Alexia only valued her brother more because of the blood relationship. In addition, she did not think that her brother had the qualifications to be equal to her.
Even Shirley Birkin!
"I have to remind you, put away your unrealistic fantasies. It is impossible for Shirley Birkin to respond to your advances. Although she is an idiot most of the time, it does not mean that you are qualified to stand by her side. ." Alexia said.
"Why am I not worthy of Shirley? Wisdom? Wealth? Status? Yes! She is indeed one of the founders of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group, but the real founders are William Birkin and Annette who were awakened by Tang Xiao. Birkin! She was just a child at that time! Apart from this halo, how could she be better than me?" Alfred said loudly.
"Just because she is the perfect adapter for the G virus." Alexia said lightly, "In the process of life's evolution, she has distanced herself from you mortals, and such a being, in ancient times, was called He is...a god. How can a mortal be equal to God?"
Alfred gritted his teeth, "What about you?! Don't you also have unrealistic fantasies about Tang Xiao!!"
When Alexia heard Tang Xiao, she finally showed a look of longing, "You and I are different. You pursue Shirley Birkin only because of her wealth and status. And the union between Tang Xiao and me, But it is the evolution of life and the sublimation of the soul..."
"Hmph!" Alfred turned his face sideways and expressed his dissatisfaction with Alexia's naked contempt.
"Okay, find the adapter as soon as possible and conduct the next phase of the 'Ant Colony' project experiment as soon as possible." Alexia said, "This stupid woman Shirley has already made a breakthrough in the research of Mongal-Mongal. , I can’t fall behind her.”
She glanced at Alfred coldly, and then said: "By the way, I was here the day before yesterday. I helped you get rid of those disgusting toys by the way, you're welcome."
