Chapter 412 The Enterprise’s Generosity! (Thanks to "NightChicK3n" For the Silver Alliance!) (1/2)

The airspace east of Qingquan City.

Twelve heavy-duty transport planes were like giant birds, arranged in the shape of geese in the sky, and their figures appeared at the end of the clouds.

Inside the semi-curved cabin.

Two androids in silver cloaks stood by the front window, staring intently at the dead city not far away.

Same as Ideal City.

There are just as many high-rise buildings there, even more so. You can’t see the edge of the city as far as the eye can see.

But the whole city was deserted.

Whether it is the city center engulfed by a cloud of yellow-green spores or the empty concrete wreckage, there is no doubt that it is dead.

Only a corner of the northern suburbs still has a trace of fireworks.

The survivors built new homes there, building three- to five-story houses, using ancient trains to transport supplies, electric-driven machinery operating in the fields, and tall chimneys slowly blowing black mist.

The fire of civilization has been preserved, and there seems to be signs of recovery. However, the gossamer breath is still weak, like a candle swaying in the storm...

"That's Qingquan City." The relatively tall android said slowly as he stared at Dawn City with colorless pupils.

Its name is "Frost" and its model is A-130. It is redesigned from the pre-war civilian P-100 series. Its application scenarios include raids, security, rescue, monitoring and cleaning. At the same time, the AI ​​algorithm is compatible with P- Some features of the 100 series.

As the proud work of Kangmao Group's bionics design department, its energy supply device is a nuclear battery that stores 200g of helium 3 and a chemical battery that stores 6 kilograms of metallic hydrogen.

As a hybrid bionic human, its electrical energy is mainly provided by the latter, and it will switch to the former when the latter's energy is exhausted.

The name of the android standing next to it at this moment is "Eclipse", its model is A-110, and its main application scenario is comprehensive information processing.

In addition, unlike Frost, which can be equipped with a variety of weapons, its abilities are more reflected outside the battlefield. For example, coordinating collective operations of conventional android troops, coordinating multiple drones to form an attack fleet, etc.

"The Alliance has answered our landing request. They will lend us the airport in the northern suburbs... We will land in 5 minutes and 12 seconds." Sun Eclipse's pupils flickered slightly and he said softly.

Hanshuang nodded.

Its pupils have no color, but it seems to be smarter than its colleague next to it who is equipped with a more complex processor.

Looking at the weak village, it raised its chin slightly, and there was a hint of profound meaning in the smooth electronic sound.

"Eclipse, this is an opportunity for us."

Eclipse tilted her head slightly.

"What?"

Frost continued.

"We will use our superb technology and professionalism to eliminate customers' concerns and prove to our customers that we are the optimal solution under all precise calculations——"

"We will lead mankind and revive their civilization!"

Sun Eclipse paused for two seconds, whether he was confused or thinking.

Then it nodded.

"OK."

…

The funeral happened to be over.

After Chu Guang left the cemetery, he walked in front of Zhao Yongxu, the leader of the Boulder City Militia.

Before Chu Guang could speak, the powerful man seemed to be unable to wait any longer and took the initiative to speak before Chu Guang.

"Hello, Mr. Manager, I am here on behalf of the Lord of Boulder City. I hope to discuss our common future with you."

Chu Guang smiled faintly and nodded.

"This is indeed an issue worth discussing. We value our relationship with you, but we have to say that you came at the wrong time... Maybe you should tell our embassy before your next visit, or make a call in advance."

Zhao Yongxu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What's the meaning?"

Chu Guangzhi said.

"It means that I may have to trouble you to wait a little longer."

Still have to wait? !

This sentence made Zhao Yongxu laugh angrily, and he said with a smile.

"How many funerals do you plan to hold, and will you finish the next one?"

"It has nothing to do with the funeral," Chu Guang was not irritated by his words. He smiled lightly and continued calmly, "It's just to receive friends from far away."

"Friends from afar." Zhao Yongxu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chu Guang nodded and said in a relaxed tone.

"Well, they came all the way from the East Coast. I can't just leave them alone."

Hearing Chu Guang's words, almost all the envoys who came here from Boulder City, including Zhao Yongxu, had surprised expressions on their faces.

Corporate people?

come here? !

Standing next to Zhao Yongxu, an officer couldn't help but protest.

"Have those people already made an appointment?"

Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"Of course, they said they were coming five days ago."

Although Chu Guang didn't expect these people to come so quickly.

Didn’t we agree that the maximum range is only 500 kilometers?

Why did it suddenly cross three thousand kilometers?

Zhao Yongxu's face changed slightly, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly.

Although he had heard long ago that Vault 404 was a permanent partner of the company, he had never heard of their cooperation beyond the trade field.

Moreover, these people did not arrive suddenly, but had made an appointment five days ago.

This means that these country bumpkins from the northern suburbs actually have a way to maintain stable contact with companies!

There are nearly 3,000 kilometers between here and the East Coast!

It is common knowledge that long-distance communication in the wasteland is difficult. How did these people do it? !

Thinking of this, Zhao Yongxu couldn't help but be secretly alert, and his eyes looking at the azure power armor also changed subtly.

If the New Alliance really forms an alliance with the enterprise, they will have to reconsider their relationship with this neighbor...

Chu Guang smiled faintly after taking in the expression on his face.

"Are you going with me? Or go to the City Hall to rest first?"

The envoys whispered.

Looking at Chu Guang expressionlessly, Zhao Yongxu suddenly squeezed out a stiff smile on his face.

"Then trouble you to introduce us to the guests from the East Coast..."

The negotiations on the Heart of Steel are no longer important.

In contrast, he is more eager to figure out one thing.

Are those people from the East Coast...

...

Dawn City North Airport.

There was a lot of chattering on the ground.

Looking at the plane flying from a distance, all the players near the airport opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Fuck! What is that?!"

"Plane!!!"

"I know it's a plane, but why is the shape so strange?!"

The fuselage is nearly 30 meters long, the wingspan is more than 30 meters, and the drum-shaped engine is spraying blue arcs.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Look at the wing!"

"It's moving!"

The arc light sprayed backwards turned its angle and turned to point diagonally downward to the ground, supporting the huge fuselage while slowing down and descending.

The whole set of actions was done in one go.

One by one, the transport planes switched flight modes smoothly and landed neatly on the runway of the Shuguang City North Airport.

The rolling airflow blew away, blowing up rolling dust.

Looking at the big planes with a sense of science fiction with his eyes wide open, Mosquito's face was full of unspeakable excitement and envy, and he kept muttering in his mouth.

"Oh my god, it finally feels a bit like science fiction!" Guigui nodded seriously. "I understand! Vertical take-off and landing is the future direction." The pig brother on the side coughed lightly. "It's just a game. Maybe the operator just thinks this shape is more handsome... Selective reference, don't be led astray by others." Mosquito said with a chuckle. "That's right! What's the point of vertical take-off and landing! What can electric propulsion do with that little power? Big nozzle, big thrust, forward-swept wings are the future!" Luoyu: "..." Unprofessional Fanman: "..." As everyone was talking, the door of the plane opened. A row of bionic soldiers walked out of the cabin in neat steps and formed five neat squares on the runway. The iconic G9 "Black Swan" assault rifles were held horizontally on their chests. The streamlined gun body was integrated with the desert camouflage armor, and the arc-shaped eyepieces faintly flashed scarlet spots. They are machines born for war. Although the name is bionic man, except for the similarity of the shape to humans, there is nothing similar to humans on his body.

Standing next to Mosquito, several of his apprentices sighed with surprise.

"Damn."

"The dog planner is working so hard!"

"Awesome!!!"

The players whispered.

Looking at the bionic soldiers, Chu Guang, who was standing next to the airport, was as surprised as the players.

Although the company said that it would send reinforcements, it did not say who the people were, let alone whether they were human.

Zhao Yongxu, who was standing not far away and watching, swallowed his saliva, with disbelief and a deep fear in his eyes.

Five hundred-man teams composed of bionic people!

And this is just the first wave of support!

God knows if there will be more later...

Without paying too much attention to the expression on Zhao Yongxu's face, Chu Guang's eyes stayed on the runway of the airport, looking at the twelve uniquely shaped aircraft and the bionic soldiers lined up in neat squares.

Luo Hua, who was leaning on a cane, stood beside him with a surprised expression on his face.

"A-30 universal bionic soldier, unit price 270,000 Cr, a product of Kangmao Group... Before leaving Ideal City, I saw their promotional advertisements, but their technology was not mature at that time, and their performance in actual combat tests was quite poor. It has only been two or three years, and they have produced so many."

Unit price 270,000 Cr, a total of 500 units.

Doesn't that mean the total price is more than 100 million? !

Surprised at this huge amount, Chu Guang looked at Luo Hua.

"Kangmao Group?"

Luo Hua nodded slowly.

"Well... didn't I say before that the company is composed of multiple subsidiaries?"

Chu Guang understood.

"Is the Kangmao Group one of the larger subsidiaries?"

Luo Hua nodded.

"Not just big, but very big. Their main business is medical equipment and bionics equipment. Most of the bionic organs with the Utopian brand are produced by them. In addition, there are bionic laborers that are more common in Yunjian Province. Most of the survivors' settlements there have signed a convention to abolish slavery, so bionics are occasionally used to do farm work, mining, and even garbage collection." At this point, he paused for a moment and continued.

"There are four other companies of the same size as Kangmao Group. Silver Wing is mainly engaged in manufacturing exploration equipment and heavy engineering equipment, Changge sells arms products, Endpoint provides intelligent services and cloud technology, and Ideal City's largest contractor and Property – Ideal Group.”

"Although there are tens of thousands of companies in Ideal City, the seats on the Supreme Council are basically in the hands of these five companies. If the aid resolution is passed by the council vote, these five companies will basically contribute money and effort. ”

Chu Guang suddenly asked curiously.

“How are seats on your council determined?”

Luo Hua hesitated and said.

"Of course it's equity...why do you ask?"

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"I'm just a little curious... Speaking of that equity, can it be traded? Is it purchased directly with Cr?"

"It's possible, but basically no one will sell it at will."

Luo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "I heard that a century ago, corporate equity transactions were still very active, but now they are basically concentrated in the hands of five companies. Moreover, the rules of equity transactions are very strict, and you can't just buy it if you want. Can be bought.”

Chu Guang nodded slightly understandingly.

Is this perhaps a variant of representation?

However, the subject of power is not people, but "equity", and its operating model is probably similar to the "profiteer empire" in "Swarm".

As the number one "dog licker" in Ideal City, Boulder City has borrowed from Ideal City's technology and rules to a certain extent. However, since this trend started from the aristocratic class, they only borrowed what is beneficial to their own class. That part.

In the end, a semi-feudal lord and semi-capitalized operation was born.

However, even though there were differences in many fields, when the official power of Ideal City appeared in front of them, it still brought a big shock to the nobles of Boulder City.

Including the leader Zhao Yongxu.

The word fear was almost written on his face.

Even hard-liners who are keen on showing off force have to admit that showing off force against those on the East Coast is not a smart choice.

Just as Zhao Yongxu was anxiously thinking about how to deal with it, two androids with distinctive shapes left the formation and walked towards Chu Guang.

They are covered with a silver cloak.

They are obviously different from those mass-produced models. They have human-like facial features and an appearance that is in line with human aesthetics.

"Welcome, friends from far away, I am the manager of the alliance, Chu Guang."

Looking at the two androids walking towards him, Chu Guang guessed that they might be representatives of the company, so he extended his right hand.

The right hand holding the power armor shook.

The leading android curled his mouth and spoke in a smooth voice.

"Thank you for your welcome, and I hope we are not too late. My name is Hanshuang, model number A-130."

Frost is okay.

Chu Guang looked at the person next to it with a strange expression, and was about to ask if it was called Xuanyuan.

Probably reading the question on his face, the android took the initiative to introduce himself before he asked the question.

"Eclipse, Model A-110."

Hearing these two names, a trace of surprise appeared on Luo Hua's face.

These two androids were models he had never heard of.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but murmured softly.

"...It seems that I have been away from home for too long."

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about how to communicate with these two android friends, a figure suddenly trotted over from the plane not far away.

"Wait a minute, I, I am the representative of the expeditionary force...Yichuan! Overseas Business Development Department of Silver Wing Group! Nice to meet you!"

Stopping, the man put his hands on his knees and took a few breaths. He finally caught his breath and forced a smile when he looked at Chu Guang in front of him.

"It seems we arrived in time!"

Chu Guang looked at the panting man in front of him with a strange expression, and then glanced at Han Shuang, who was watching him with a smile.

Are these people not communicating?

He almost got the representative of the reinforcements wrong.

Before he could speak, Luo Hua suddenly opened his eyes and recognized the person in front of him.

"Yichuan?!"

The two obviously knew each other.

The young man who had just breathed was stunned for a moment. He looked at Luo Hua, who was leaning on a cane next to Chu Guang, and immediately recognized him.

"Luo Hua?! I heard that you were seriously injured... Hey, what's your arm?"

Luo Hua looked at his left hand and said with a wry smile.

"Put my matters aside for now... Let's talk about it later when we're catching up on old times."

Obviously knowing that now was not the occasion to reminisce, Yi Chuan nodded, looked at Chu Guang standing in front of him, cleared his throat, and spoke seriously.

"You must be the manager of Vault 404. Nice to meet you!"

"Chu Guang, I'm glad to see you too."

With that said, Chu Guang made a joke to ease the atmosphere, "It seems that you are the representative of the reinforcements. Just now I was thinking about how to communicate with our bionic friends."

Looking at the two androids next to him, Yi Chuan had a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

"These two are representatives of Kangmao Group... they may be more enthusiastic."

Chu Guang nodded.

From the expression on the face of the young man in front of him, he vaguely noticed something unusual. It seemed that there should be differences within the company on certain issues.

However, that was an internal matter within the company and had nothing to do with the new alliance, and Chu Guang did not want to get involved in their internal affairs.

Striving for more benefits and compensation for his little players and the residents of the alliance is what a manager should do.

While they were talking, two men and one woman walked up not far away.

The three of them got off the last plane. When they got closer, Yi Chuan introduced them to Chu Guang.

"This is Wu Mu, a senior employee of the Product Sales Department of Changge Group!"

The young man named Wu Mu was wearing a set of red-painted power armor, with a hearty smile on his face, and he took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"Hello, Alliance Manager! I've seen your video. Where's the Death Claw? Why didn't you ride it over?"

Chu Guang shook hands with him and said with a smile.

"It has a bad temper and is not suitable for guests. But if you are interested, I can take you to see it and even give you one."

"Haha, that's great, I remember this sentence!" Wu Mu's eyes flashed with strong interest.

Compared with others, Chu Guangneng could clearly feel that the representative from Changge Group in front of him was probably the one who had the most favorable impression of him.

Even a little... worship?

However, compared to the others, this one doesn't look like he's here to fight at all, but rather like he's on an outing. It's hard not to make people doubt his professional abilities.

Of course.

Maybe his expertise is not in the battlefield to begin with. After all, from Yi Chuan's introduction, his profession seems to be "sales"?

Compared with this friend named Wu Mu, the aura of the other two representatives was obviously much more stable, especially the middle-aged man who was about forty years old.

There was a hint of old-fashionedness in that mature face, and it was difficult for Chu Guang to tell what he was thinking from the changes in his expression.

Before Yi Chuan could introduce himself, the middle-aged man spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Li Changkong, a business staff member of Ideal Group, our engineering equipment and construction technology will be open to you to help you establish a more reliable logistics supply line and ensure that war materials and personnel can be smoothly sent from the rear to the front line... Of course, we can do this We only help you build roads and consolidate fortifications. As for the resources required for construction and frontline warfare, you still have to rely on yourself. "

Chu Guang smiled and shook hands with him.

"That's enough."

The largest contractor and real estate company in Ideal City.

I guess he won't be disappointed.

After introducing the representatives of Changge Group and Ideal Group, Yi Chuan continued to introduce the last representative from Duandian Group.

"This is a senior engineer from the AI ​​Technology Department of Endpoint Group... Yun You, she will act as your information technology consultant during the war and help you complete the construction of information-related infrastructure. Even though she is very young, in fact-"

With his arms folded in front of his chest, the man named Yun You coughed slightly, interrupted him mid-sentence, and continued expressionlessly.

"My personal situation should have nothing to do with my job content."

Yi Chuan said sheepishly.

"Feel sorry."

Chu Guang looked her over.

She is about in her early twenties, has the temperament of a typical researcher, and has a similar clothing style to Heya, but is slightly shorter.

Probably somewhere between Hea and Toto.

Perhaps it was the glasses on the bridge of her nose that magnified her sharp eyes. He always felt that this guy was inexplicably... wary of him?

Before Chu Guang could speak, Yun You looked at him and made his position straightforward.

"To be honest, I don't agree with the option of war. Rather than fighting like beasts, I think the problem should be solved through dialogue. Otherwise, we will just repeat the mistakes of two hundred years ago."

Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"If you can drive away those beasts with your mouth, I would rather use your mouth."

Yun You raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when Yi Chuan, who was standing aside, coughed and interrupted her.

"Ms. Yun's opinion only represents her personal opinion. Resolution 1001 passed unanimously is the embodiment of our overall will... We all have relatives who have been involved in this war, whether actively or passively, and now we have to do Just end it!"

As he said that, he looked at Chu Guang.

"The Legion must stop its territorial ambitions east of the Great Desert, abandon its military base in Luoxia Province, return the Pioneer, and release the Pioneer crew trapped in the Great Desert!"

This is not a slogan.

Rather, it was announced by the representatives of the reinforcements that the enterprise's war goals in this war.

Driving the Legion out of Luoxia Province is also one of the alliance's goals. Only in this way can the threat from the west be ended.

Chu Guang stretched out his right hand.

"We have the same position, and I am happy to stand on the same front with you!"

"So are we!"

Holding Chu Guang's right hand, Yi Chuan said solemnly.

"Your bravery on the front line shocked everyone. The call for war has never been higher. Although we are three thousand kilometers apart, our desire for civilization is the same."

"The first batch of assistance includes five hundred A-30 android soldiers, who will go to the front line to fight with you!"

"In addition, arms, construction machinery, and production equipment with a total value of 300 million Cr will be flown here one after another. We will not only help you establish a complete supply line, but also help you complete industrial upgrades and use more advanced Arm your production lines and army with technology!”

Hearing these words from his ally, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel happy even though he managed his expression well.

300 million Cr of arms is a trivial matter, and five hundred bionic soldiers are nothing to be excited about. The key is the promise at the end!

Isn't this what he was waiting for!

Yi Chuan paused and continued.

"...However, we only had time to produce these 12 large aircraft with a range of over 3,000 kilometers. Before subsequent reinforcements arrive, we need an aviation base to replenish energy for our aircraft."

Chu Guang asked immediately.

"What energy do you need?"

"Metal hydrogen!" Yi Chuan said seriously, "We plan to build a metal hydrogen production line in the southern part of the river valley province to supply energy and ammunition production. This requires about 100 acres of land, and the requirement is that the local area can provide stable and sufficient electricity, and Water sources... we are not familiar with the local conditions, so you may have to think of something to do. ”

Electricity and water?

That’s easy to say!

Chu Guang's heart moved, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"This is very simple. I happen to know a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It is not only close to the water source, but also not far from our controllable fusion power station!"

"There is a controllable fusion power station here?!" Yi Chuan's eyes lit up, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, "Great!"

He was originally prepared to use thermal power to generate emergency power, but he did not expect that these inland allies actually gave them a surprise.

Chu Guang continued to draw the pie with a smile on his face.

"North of Xizhou City, on the south bank of the Tianshui tributary, we plan to build a river port there. Our fusion reactor is located in nearby Xizhou City, and the power supply is expected to be restored before the end of the month. I can lend you the open space near the port, but... …”

Speaking of this, Chu Guang suddenly paused for a moment.

Seeing the troubled expression on his face, Yi Chuan asked quickly.

"But what?"

Chu Guang said with a little embarrassment.

"However, our control over that area is weak. There are predator activities on the north bank of the river... which may have an impact on the security of the aviation base."

Hearing this, Yi Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face.

"Hey, it's a small matter! If there are predators coming, just leave it to us to solve it!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Guang's face showed a happy smile again.

"With your words, I feel relieved!"

With companies helping to guard the alliance's northern gate, it should be difficult for the legion's intelligence network in the Bugra Free State to take action.

In this way, he can free up more manpower to devote to the new expansion pack!
