Chapter 339: Ceremony Day, Consumption Control, Relaxation, "Unbalanced"

April 14, 2004.

Pacific time in the main universe: 04:23.

The Imperial Palace, located at the top of the ruins, is literally crowded with people in any open area.

Local residents of the main universe, human compatriots from different universes, as well as dwarves, elves, elites and a few Grunts, gathered in the open area of ​​the Imperial Palace, patiently waiting for the opening ceremony in more than two hours.

Of course, the residents were not just standing there stupidly or waiting stupidly.

The Imperial Palace, covering an area of ​​20,000 square kilometers, is equivalent to a giant city built by Atlas in a few years with a lot of manpower and material resources.

Only a few areas involving confidential matters are closed, and most places are open to the public.

In addition, in addition to the architectural style dominated by China, there are also "attractions" of ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations.

It has a complete commercial and entertainment street, and even different star-rated hotels with Chinese, Greek and Egyptian themes.

The most important thing is consumption, and it will not charge high prices to tourists because of the special nature of the Imperial Palace.

Or they deliberately hide the price list, and when the tourists finish shopping and eating, they are forced to pay more than ten or even a hundred times the market price.

As a giant company, Atlas's priority is not how to make money and profit, but how to create services and products that win the trust of customers.

Therefore, the human empire based on Atlas will naturally not do the "throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds" drama to consume the loyalty and enthusiasm of the residents.

The consumption of tourists in the commercial and entertainment street of the Imperial Palace is almost the same as that of the New Accra City, and is basically at the same level.

The prices of hotels open to the public are also within the range that tourists can afford.

It will never suddenly become three or five times more expensive because of today's imperial ceremony and various holidays in the future, so that tourists will retreat.

For example, before Atlas took over, every holiday in various countries in different universes, the convenient hotels that were originally extremely cheap and dirty could break through the standard room prices of ordinary four-star or five-star hotels.

But if "you" don't buy, there are others who will buy.

As soon as "you" hesitate, the official website and mobile app will show "sold out".

You can't just go to the local hotel to ask if there are any vacancies after arriving at your destination.

This most disgusting but helpless method is the most disdainful way of making money for Atlas.

And Atlas's stupid AI will also identify scalpers who maliciously resell.

At this stage, residents who want to register an account that needs to spend online must rely on the number of the identity card.

Each number can only register one account.

When booking products such as suites, seats and concert tickets, the account holder must be present and no secondary sales are allowed.

If the stupid AI responsible for the review finds an abnormality, it will directly refund the money and ban the account for 7 days.

However, if the stupid AI catches substantial evidence of secondary sales, the account will be directly forced to cancel, and the owner of the account will not be able to register within half a year, and will also need to pay a fine of 20,000 to 60,000 credit coins.

Seeing such a strong punishment, especially the strict screening measures of Atlas, the scalpers immediately gave up the idea of ​​benefiting from it.

After all, if you get caught for one trip, you will have to pay a fine of 20,000 to 60,000 credit coins.

It's really not worth it.

Atlas may not be able to achieve absolute fairness and justice, but as long as it is within its capacity, it will provide the best living environment for residents.

Because the owner of Atlas has never put making money in the first place from beginning to end.

Some

No, it should be the executives and owners of most companies, who even calculate the money into the monthly salary of the cleaners, holding the idea that "no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it must not be tasted by the people below."

This is the main human nature.

Once you taste the sweetness of power and wealth, you are very likely to be unable to stop, and become more and more aggravated and more depraved.

Only a few people can stick to the bottom line.

So according to this situation, only absolute strength can maintain fairness and justice and prevent the unscrupulous breeding of termites.

And at this moment.

The personnel responsible for the normal order of the Imperial Palace are the 200,000 elite "Emergency Countermeasures Force (AECS)" who have changed their paint, and more than 5,000 adult and underage Flame Lizards.

And the paint of these 200,000 AECS elites seems to be very similar to the Flame Lizards' legion paint.

Among them, the special-organized MacP power armor and the full-coverage mechanical skeleton of the regular elite have the Flame Lizards' legion logo printed on the shoulder armor.

In fact, these 200,000 AECS elites were collectively converted to become the Flame Lizards' legion auxiliary army as early as the beginning of this year.

So the name is no longer "Emergency Countermeasures", but the elite legion of the human empire.

In addition to the Astartes and auxiliary troops, there are 60,000 clone soldiers whose equipment and clothing are also painted with Flame Lizards, and 60,000 T-800 Terminators, who jointly maintain order inside and outside the Imperial Palace.

The city of New Accra also assisted nearly 30,000 police officers to ensure the smooth progress of the imperial ceremony.

Among them, residents of the main universe and the One-Zero (Terminator) universe may feel a little fear of the T-800, which looks like a metal skeleton.

However, residents of other universes are accustomed to the T-800.

Because the T-800 has begun to gradually integrate into Atlas's police station and military system, and is responsible for handling high-risk matters on behalf of real humans.

——

at this time.

Sui Yang, who was wearing a black custom-made formal suit with gold threads on the collar and cuffs, was standing in the top hall of the core building of the Imperial Palace, overlooking the Imperial Palace.

Then, he gently held the solid wood fence with both hands, closed his eyes slightly, and deeply felt the emotions of everyone present.

There is joy, excitement, excitement, and "eagerness to try."

It seems that as a human being, he feels proud to see humans become stronger and stronger.

At the same time, there are also disputes, dissatisfaction, worries, etc.

The disputes and dissatisfaction must be caused by conflicts among tourists, and they are worried.

They are worried about whether he, the human emperor, and the human empire he established will follow the "old path" of history.

Eventually it became decayed and the people were in dire straits.

Sensing such worry, Sui Yang opened his eyes and continued to overlook the various scenes in the imperial palace.

He himself was deeply distressed by the "old road". In addition, as he was old, his mental endurance was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Ordinary temptations are completely boring to him.

Power, wealth?

When Sui Yang was still a "young man" in his sixties, he already had everything that ordinary people expected.

At that time, he controlled the black and white circles in Seattle, and countless beautiful and enchanting women came to his door.

It can be said that Sui Yang, before he was more than sixty years old, still had a "mortal" mentality and had ordinary worldly desires.

However, as he changed his face and returned to the public eye as his "grandson", Sui Yang finally had a true pursuit and sincerely wanted to create a better and better country for mankind.

Sui Yang does still have "desires", but the goal is no longer "secular".

What's more, after having a son, his mentality quietly changed.

Before having his son, Sui Yang felt that life and death didn't matter, but with the arrival of Guilliman and Sanguinius.

Especially since he personally took care of the two little guys who were growing rapidly, Sui Yang finally had an "anchor" in his heart and was no longer helpless.

Although Sui Yang wanted all mankind to become stronger, more prosperous and happier, he also had some selfish motives and hoped to provide a better development platform for his sons.

When Guilliman, Sanguinius, Leon, and Horus began to take over company branches in different universes, Sui Yang sometimes felt lonely.

That's why he kept Magnus with him.

It's just that when he grew up, the original body was no longer as straightforward and funny as he was in childhood.

There was no way, the original body's extraordinary physique destined their childhood to be extremely short.

Therefore, as long as the sons follow the formal procedures and take the initiative to make requests to the company, Sui Yang will usually help.

Tread.

At this time, a familiar sound of footsteps interrupted Sui Yang's thoughts.

The footsteps came to my side.

Sui Yang didn't need to look out of the corner of his eye to know that it was Alexia Ashford, who had a somewhat eccentric personality and liked to conduct research on herself with viruses and serum.

Alexia, who was wearing a dark blue V-neck dress, saw Sui Yang putting her hands on the fence more than three meters high and looking down at the Imperial Palace with a vacant look. She crossed her hands and put them on her chest and said:

"What's wrong, Your Majesty, you look a little sad?"

"fine."

Sui Yang turned sideways slightly, looked down at Alexia, whose figure and temperament had changed slightly, and asked:

"Are you testing it on yourself again?"

The reason Sui Yang asked this was because Alexia was now over 1.9 meters tall, and her "dimensions" were still getting longer.

He hasn't communicated with Alexia face to face for a while recently.

After all, Alexia was busy performing customized transformation surgeries on the last batch of Gray Knights in the Accra campus, and she also needed to perfect the Imperial Army project.

And he himself is also busy finishing the imperial ceremony.

What Sui Yang didn't expect was that Alexia had grown a little taller.

Alexia also wore crystal high heels that accentuated her figure and foot shape, making her now nearly two meters tall.

The most important thing is that her body proportions are still perfect, as if the whole body has been "enlarged".

"yes."

Seeing the undisguised surprise in Sui Yang's eyes, Alexia raised her hands slightly and said slightly proudly:

"In my spare time from work, I also took time to prepare my own Veronica virus. With the help of nanorobots, I can be regarded as completely transformed."

As Alexia spoke, she slowly approached Sui Yang, who was still two and a half meters taller than her. She raised her left eyebrow frivolously and smiled:

"Don't worry, I researched these at my own expense and didn't spend a penny from the company."

Hearing this, Sui Yang shrugged his shoulders and joked:

"You're not afraid of killing yourself."

"If I don't change, I won't be able to bear you."

"Don't talk about that right now."

Sui Yang quickly stopped Alexia from speaking out.

His sons were in the party hall below. No matter how low the volume of his conversation with Alexia was, Sui Yang always felt a little "guilty".

But Alexia looked successful.

Like she did it on purpose.

In fact, since Sui Yang's height exceeded three meters, she and Sui Yang rarely "communicate privately".

Because if she continues, it will cause harm to her body.

There is no way, her brain is just more developed than ordinary people, and the rest of her body may not be as good as women who exercise regularly.

Sui Yang's height is stable at five meters and four, and after the spiritual energy volume reaches a certain level, he can "change" his height at will.

But Alexia's heart is becoming more and more unbalanced.

Mainly because of the appearance of the elf queen Tinas, Alexia is very unhappy.

She has never seen a queen who seems to be detached from the world and seems to be out of touch with the world, actually "give" herself away on her own initiative, and say that everything is due to fate, prophecy, etc.

In addition, the muscle and bone density of the elves is several times that of humans, and they can withstand unimaginable damage and impact.

And the longevity of the elves makes Alexia, who has been "playing badly" for many years, start to "work hard".

Because she is a "mortal" after all.

If she doesn't make changes, she will end up like Wang Zhaofeng and the old veterans who accompanied Sui Yang to work hard and start a business, decaying into the ground and turning into dust.

This is the most difficult ending for her to accept.

She doesn't want to grow old and die.

Therefore, Alexia cloned her clone at her own expense and conducted a lot of experiments with the Veronica virus.

The mutant strain finally extracted is the Veronica virus that is only suitable for her.

After confirming that the risk is low with the clone, Alexia immediately injected the exclusive Veronica virus, and then she injected a disposable nanorobot to assist her body in all-round transformation.

After the transformation period, she once conducted a battle experiment with the T-800 and the Heavy Armor Tyrant.

The data shows that her single combat power is already higher than that of the ordinary Astart.

However, this exclusive virus that took her many years of energy to complete cannot be mass-produced.

Moreover, during the experiment, she also found that her physique was quite compatible with the Veronica virus.

Even if the virus was not customized and there was no nanorobot to provide assistance, she only needed to lower her body temperature after the virus was injected to achieve perfect transformation.

And the best way to lower body temperature is to refrigerate and hibernate for ten years.

But she didn't have so much free time, and the company still had a lot of projects waiting for her to deal with, so she took a "shortcut".

"Haha!"

At this moment, Alexia saw Sui Yang's serious face, and couldn't help laughing, saying:

"I know, don't worry now, there's plenty of time to talk later anyway.

By the way," Alexia said, and seemed to remember something, and continued:

"That Athena seems to hope that you can provide her with some help so that she can better fight against supernatural creatures."
