Chapter 299 "Low-End Replica" "All Are Doomsday Scenes"
Chapter 299 "Low-end replica" "All are doomsday scenes"
Halo universe, Harvest.
Looking from outer space at this terrestrial planet with a diameter 2,000 kilometers smaller than Mars, it can be found that there are a large number of defense platforms in its near-Earth orbit.
And the appearance of the defense platform is sharper than that of the UNSC, and the paint is also silver, just like the main gun matrix released by the Sojourner-class dreadnought.
And these defense platforms are a "high" power orbital beam cannon developed by the Research Department with the assistance of the Forerunner AI Tranquil Riverbank and its own AI Apu and Melissa.
The platform itself has two nuclear fusion reactors, which are responsible for maintaining the daily life of the staff and armed forces, as well as the energy required to release the beam matrix.
At the same time, there are 10 large nuclear fusion power plants on the surface of Harvest for wireless transmission to assist the defense platform in conducting uninterrupted matrix offensives.
In addition, the Atlas shipyard on the planet of abundance also "parked" the frigates and destroyers that had just been assembled and welded behind the defense platform, waiting for the corresponding crew members and shipborne troops to board the ship.
The most important thing is that among all the "parked" ships, there is also a small blade-shaped voyage-class warship.
In addition to the length being shortened to about three kilometers, the details are not as sophisticated and smooth as the voyage-class, but the overall texture is far superior to the original Feddes-class and Paris-class of Atlas.
In fact, the official name of this small voyage-class ship is the "Great Class Frigate".
The UNSC also has a Great Class frigate, but its appearance is roughly similar to the Paris-class and Charon-class.
However, the Atlas Great Class frigate is a reduced-volume, reverse-engineered dreadnought battleship.
It also has a beam matrix and a jump engine that can travel nearly 3,000 light years every 24 hours, but the shield generation device is a style that combines the technology of the Reapers.
Of course, this is a helpless move for Atlas at this stage, which cannot perfectly decipher the shield of the Forerunners.
In addition, Halsey, Tranquility River, Cortana and other research teams are on the Ark, focusing on reverse research on the Ark's instantaneous transmission technology, so they have no time to improve the shield of the Great Class for the time being.
If the Ark is thoroughly studied, then Atlas will be close to mastering all the technology of the Forerunners.
What's more, the transmission matrix located on the Earth of "Halo" also records in detail the specific coordinates of other Forerunner relics, as well as the large device ring belt (Halo) and the shield world.
It's just that there is a shortage of experienced personnel at present, and the Investigation Department and the Armed Forces have not sent corresponding investigators or rapid response forces (ARS) to these coordinates.
But no matter what, Atlas at this stage has the ability to reproduce the "low-end" version of the Sojourner class.
The first Great-class ship parked in the low-Earth orbit of the Harvest Star is the best proof.
After the Research and Engineering Departments complete various tests of the Great-class ship and ensure its practicality, it will be officially put into mass production to replace the Paris-class, Valiant-class and other frigates and cruisers improved by the UNSC.
But ships such as support boats and aircraft carriers will be retained.
Because Atlas needs enough "sea" transport power to deploy a large number of ground troops and carrier-based aircraft formations to the war zone.
And the Paris-class will not be retired immediately.
As a frigate that can accommodate thousands of marines, orbital commandos, and ground and air vehicles, and whose maneuverability and agility far exceed all ships, the Paris-class is very suitable for dealing with low-to-medium-intensity wars.
In conjunction with the Diana-class stealth ship, the Paris-class equipped with optical camouflage modules can also carry out various tactics such as infiltration behind enemy lines and guerrilla warfare.
So the Paris-class is a very practical ship.
At this time, in the atmosphere of Harvest;
In the capital of Odgate, which is on the sunward side, it is the early morning stage of Harvest.
The soft light of the stars is poured into the wheat fields, farms and woods outside the city, and also illuminates the urban area with giant buildings.
After nearly three years of development, the scale of Odgate has expanded by more than four times.
The population has also increased several times in succession. Currently, there are more than three million people living in Odgate and surrounding villages and towns.
You should know that when the space gate was just opened, the total population of Harvest was only more than 300,000, but now the total population has exceeded six million, and it is still growing steadily.
After all, Atlas has set up a large number of factories on Harvest, not to mention the existence of the front-line base, which also allows employees and their families to settle on Harvest semi-permanently.
And a widened and enlarged special Luna transport boat, escorted by the Ghost III fighter, flew over the sky of Odgate at a low altitude.
After a while, the formation arrived at the front-line base with a space gate.
From the pilot's perspective, the scale of the front-line base is already more "grand" and "vast" than Odgate.
The 10 large nuclear fusion power plants alone are enough to attract attention.
Besides, there are ground shipyards, weapon carrier arsenals, etc.
After circling for a week, the Luna transport and the Ghost III fighter landed at the airport near the command building.
After stopping, the door at the rear of the cabin opened
Dong, Dong!
The first sound that reached the ears of the ground crew was the heavy footsteps of the Primarch when he walked normally.
The Primarch, who was more than four meters tall, was seen wearing a casual outfit with a very Terra-style style and walked out of the cabin of the Luna transport first.
And the face of this original body cannot be described as handsome compared to Sanguinius, Fulgrim and Corax.
But with a resolute demeanor, a piercing gaze, and an extremely strong physique, he can be regarded as an otherworldly being.
This original body is the crying Perturabo who descended into the wilderness of Night City in "Cyberpunk 2077" and was rejected by Dorn.
After Perturabo walked out of the cabin, the elf queen Tinas, who was wearing a light blue gauze dress, had pointed ears, and had the same otherworldly appearance, and several elf guards also arrived at the airport.
Seeing Tinas walking out, Perturabo immediately became alert, as if he was afraid of encountering some accident.
After all, Tinas was the "mother" who brought him up hand in hand.
Even though Perturabo knew that it was impossible for the Covenant troops to reach the Fertile Star Territory, and the defense strength of the frontline bases was guaranteed, he still remained vigilant.
After he learned the facts about the subspace from his father and the demonic invasion that broke out in Mombasa, he was always in a state of tension.
Perturabo himself and his father were not afraid of any threat, but Tinas, who left Terraira, lacked the blessing of magical power.
He could kill Tinas with a careless punch, let alone those evil gods who have the power to disrupt the real universe.
According to the original plan and arrangement, Tinas should have left Perturabo in the care of Alexia. However, the research and development of the "Halo" universe required a lot of effort, making Tinas completely become Perturabo's. Adoptive mother.
Therefore, in Perturabo's eyes, the people closest to him are his father Sui Yang and adoptive mother Tinas.
"Don't be too nervous. I've warned you many times."
At this time, my father's words came from behind.
Perturabo turned around and saw Sui Yang, who was nearly five meters tall, almost 4.89 meters tall, walking out of the cabin under the guard of ten thunder warriors.
Although Sui Yang is taller and stronger than Perturabo, he is more coordinated than Perturabo.
As for Apu and Melissa, who habitually remain silent unless necessary, their presence seems to be low next to the giants.
Leave the cabin.
Sui Yang walked towards the nearest ground station and warned Perturabo:
"I understand that you have good intentions, and I also understand that you are worried, but don't forget that the guys hiding in the dark will take advantage of your emotions and amplify them."
Hearing this, Perturabo sighed softly and said:
"I understand, Father."
"Haha." Tinas smiled at the side, then gently stroked the back of Perturabo's right hand and comforted:
"My child, you are indeed a little too nervous. Also, do you think of me as too weak?
Ordinary monsters cannot pose any threat to me. "
"."
Being educated by his father and adoptive mother at the same time, Perturabo seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so his face immediately became "red and warm".
but
Perturabo seemed to be used to it and just nodded silently.
Next.
The group left the airport, took the same widened and enlarged rail train, and drove into the core area.
The diameter of the space door expanded to 50 x 50 meters, glowing with light silver, and appeared in front of everyone.
Due to the expansion of the space door size, the Engineering Department directly used train tracks and transportation tracks to greatly improve the efficiency of transporting materials and personnel from the ruins base to different universes.
Soon, the group of people passed through the mercury mirror-like space door.
When the dazzling white light that filled their field of vision faded, everyone saw the ruins core of an underground city that was still underground.
Countless automatic robotic arms and Hex robots, as well as flying Forerunner Sentinels, are assisting the personnel of the Engineering Department in construction.
After all, this is the most important and core area within the imperial palace, so it naturally needs to be built the strongest and most complete.
The ever-extinguishing golden flames on the stone pillars, as well as the golden torches on the top and sides, provide the core of the ruins with light like daylight.
The four stone statues of Astartes still stand around the skeleton altar.
However, these "antiques" are integrated with modern buildings, tracks and equipment, and there is no sense of déjà vu.
As for the Forerunner Sentinels, there are also builders that look similar to the Sentinels, but they are actually from Shield World 0459 and are not produced by Atlas.
These AIs with a certain degree of intelligence were deployed to Harvest Star after receiving the instruction and approval of Tranquility Riverbank to assist the Engineering Department in building the Imperial Palace.
Because the construction of the palace does not conflict with the "agreement" that Tranquility Riverbank and the sentinels need to abide by.
The train at this moment passed through the space gate and then entered the aerial track. It went straight across the core area with altars and statues and came to the transportation hub area of the ruins base.
At this point, the train slowed down and stopped at the platform.
The door opens.
Sui Yang and others left the train and ordered the grown-up Perturabo:
"Child, there are still four Earth days before I open the space gate, and you will, as I told you in advance, assist the company's reconnaissance force to deal with the new parallel universe that poses the greatest threat.
So, now it’s time to get to know your teammates. "
Hearing this, Perturabo nodded silently, and then prepared to board another specially-made Luna transport boat that was already waiting.
The order Sui Yang gave to Perturabo was just as he said, to help the company solve the new parallel universe with higher threats.
The so-called teammates include the elite investigators of the Investigation Department, all the advance team members, the Astartes who have completed the transformation surgery, and the experimental troops of David, Lucy, and Rebecca.
In the "Halo" universe, Perturabo and he participated in many interstellar naval battles and ground battles of different scales.
But there are already Fulgrim, Mortarion and other original bodies there. As a father who strives to keep the water level, Sui Yang wants to let Perturabo go to the new universe and gradually assume the role of governor. Responsibilities.
As for the Governor of the Halo universe
Sui Yang prepared for two to three Primarchs to be in charge.
If only one original body is used to take charge, then it is very likely that hidden dangers will be laid.
Sui Yang did not want to destroy the relatively stable relationship between the original bodies because of these things, nor did he want to cause jealousy, resentment and other emotions in his sons.
Tinas raised her voice slightly and warned Perturabo:
"Watch your emotions, kid."
"good."
Perturabo responded with his back to Tinas, then walked quickly to the lift apron, and took the Luna transport boat to leave the transportation hub area.
Sui Yang looked down at Tinas and said:
"Queen Lothrian, during the period before opening the space door, I will deal with some remaining issues.
In addition, thank you very much for helping me take care of Perturabo when he was a child, but now I ask you to return to Terraira to effectively implement the agreement and cooperation signed by our Atlas and your Elf Kingdom.
Only by helping each other can the future human empire become stronger. "
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Tinas bowed to Sui Yang, then transferred to the train with several elf guards and returned to Terraira, numbered universe zero seven.
Seeing Tinas walk away, Sui Yang also transferred to the train and prepared to deal with the "remaining issues"——
That is to say, go to the "Avatar" universe and release psychic energy on Pandora to destroy it, or use the will of a creature named "Eva".
Four days later.
May 2, 2003 in the main universe.
A large combat conference room in the ruins base;
Price, who habitually wore a bunny hat and chewed a cigar, stood behind the podium at the front of the conference room and glanced solemnly at the people sitting on the steps.
Then, Price took off the cigar, used holographic projection to play relevant images and videos, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, the boss opened three space gates at the same time not long ago, namely one zero, one one, and one two.
The three reconnaissance teams composed of hellhounds and synthetic humans were the first to pass through these three space gates.
The screen display that can be transferred back.
At the other end of the three space doors, there is a doomsday scene. "
