Chapter 238 Sparta! Using the Emperor to Control the Princes! Legitimate Succession

Chapter 238 Sparta! Holding the emperor hostage to control the princes! The legitimate successor!

"Loki, you did a good job this time."

Leon was very satisfied with AI Loki's performance during this period. He did not notice any signs of disloyalty or other tricks.

After restoring the network communication of the Harvest Star to normal, Loki immediately sent a series of false messages to the UEG and UNSC organizations.

Misleading their judgment of the situation on the Harvest Star, it is unlikely that the UNSC fleet will come to the Harvest Star to carry out the rebellion mission for a while.

At the same time, AI Loki also stole a large amount of technical data and the technology point information of the human camp and gave them to the scientific research department of the Universal Corporation.

Mainstream starships such as the Great frigate, Phoenix support ship, Sahara heavy cruiser, New Era heavy aircraft carrier, etc. will be unlocked to the giant enterprise, enriching the fleet size of the giant enterprise!

Next, the giant company only needs to build a dockyard on the planet of abundance, and it can build starships one after another like dumplings, and develop its own first line.

In addition, through the intelligence interception of AI Loki, Leon also learned that a very critical plan was being carried out in secret.

That is the infamous Orion Plan Phase II, the Spartan Warrior Transformation Plan!

Since Loki pulled all other smart AIs into the matrix space, these AIs distributed in various departments of the UNSC have all chosen to submit to the Universal Corporation.

These AIs who are good at calculations and know the times know that they cannot refuse the benefits promised to them by Leon, nor can they bear Leon's anger, so they collectively changed jobs and changed their bosses.

Anyway, they are all working AIs, and working anywhere is not working.

And through the AI ​​black box working in the UNSC Naval Intelligence Department (ONI), Leon was also able to learn about the conspiracy that the ONI senior management was talking to Catherine Halsey.

It turns out that ONI's top brass can see that it's normal for their bosses and leaders, who are extremely divided and have their minds bubbling from time to time, to start a big rebellion.

According to the current situation, the fire of villains in various human colonies is almost uncontrollable.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, and for the prosperity of the leaders and masters behind them, they have to find a way to hold on.

So, ONI decided to rely on the Orion Project to create the second batch of Spartan warriors!

These super soldiers who started training and underwent transformation surgery in childhood will be used to assassinate the leaders of the rebels, and reduce the cost of suppressing the rebellion and casualties as much as possible.

And this plan, which was first proposed by Catherine Halsey, immediately received the support of ONI's top brass.

There is no way, the landlord has no surplus food!

Since there is no way to transform and strengthen their own soldiers on a large scale, then get a small number of elite soldiers and catch the rebel leaders. This is also a helpless way.

At least doing this can calm down the rebels in the colony. Whoever wants to be the first to stand out will be killed.

[Boss, you are too kind. This is what I should do. ]

AI Loki said modestly on the surface, but he was still a little happy in his heart. Just for this merit of following the dragon, the AI ​​cabinet's first assistant is stable!

At this time, Li Ang simply recalled the transformation information about the "Spartan Warrior".

The first-phase Spartan warriors were relatively ordinary, that is, they had a little enhancement in intelligence and physical strength, but the mortality rate was quite high, which was a loss-making business.

So the plan basically failed halfway.

But it was different in the second phase.

The second-phase Spartan warriors had ceramics transplanted into their bones to strengthen their bones, and the nerve fibers in their brains were replaced with nerve fibers, which were more resistant to beatings and had strong healing abilities.

It is estimated that the powerful and wealthy men on the earth also know that if they are not willing to spend some private money, the throne under their buttocks should be replaced by a new dynasty.

So they made a batch of extremely expensive but useful human warriors.

In the end, it turned out that the only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive. The second-phase Spartan warriors were really ruthless, whether they were their own people or the street urchins of the Star Alliance.

If we make an analogy, the second-phase Spartan warriors are a functionally castrated version of the Astartes warriors.

This transformation plan is a bit like a mini version of gene seeds. The soldiers after the transformation will at most become stronger, but they will not become super big guys like the Astartes warriors.

For female soldiers like Rita, it is quite friendly.

But the second-phase Spartan warriors are already the pinnacle of the Orion Project.

The subsequent Spartan warriors are worse than the previous generation!

For example, the third-phase Spartan warriors did not rely on transformation but on drugs.

Giving children growth hormone, compulsory training, hypnosis and brainwashing, and taking drugs, only caring about quantity instead of quality, the result is that all the "berserkers" with mania are produced.

Once this thing arrives on the battlefield, it will start using its ultimate skills to attack people without distinguishing between friend and foe. It can be said that it has nothing to do with a super soldier.

With this quality of soldier, he is not even worthy of being a war servant in "Warhammer 40K", but can only be a purified heretic!

When it comes to the fourth-generation Spartan warrior, it is even more embarrassing.

The physical fitness of this warrior is only equivalent to that of an elite human athlete!

When relying on pure physical combat, he is even a little worse than a generation of soldiers. With this level of strength, compared to the world's giant companies, he will only get a job as a gatekeeper if he dies.

Not to mention going to the battlefield to fuck an alien veteran.

Now, what Li Ang has to do is to immediately send the elite soldiers of the advance team to Reach and kidnap the scientist Kathleen Halsey to work.

As for the bosses of the UNSC who are stingy with Sosou, how can they compare to the number one financial backer of a giant company in the world?

Created according to the highest specifications of Spartan II warriors, giant companies can produce millions of such warriors in no time!

At that time, Li Ang's combat troops will have a group of Spartan warriors who are lighter and more suitable for assassination missions!

At this moment, Li Ang no longer thought about other matters, but focused on the ruins.

At his order, the frontline engineers began to touch the blue sphere engraved with unknown words.

Along with a burst of dazzling light, a three-dimensional star map, like a holographic projection, brought everyone into the abyss of the universe filled with stars.

"Is this... is this a star map?"

David Martinez said quietly.

Without any time to think about it, AI Loki immediately recorded all the star map information and images in front of him, and began to read and analyze the information.

Soon, Loki made a report:

[Boss, this is the ruins transfer station built by the Forerunner civilization, and there is also a laboratory used to study the Flood. I think there should be relevant experimental data here. 】

When he learned that there was information about the Flood here, Li Ang suddenly felt refreshed.

If genetic samples of the Flood can be found, then giant companies can use these samples to create manticore virus spores targeting the Flood!

Immediately afterwards, AI Loki continued to report to Li Ang:

[In the ruins database here, there are still many knowledge and technological points that cannot be analyzed for the time being. What is certain at present is that this is definitely a huge treasure house of knowledge! 】

AI Loki was equally excited when he came into contact with the gifts from the Forerunner civilization, which meant that human civilization was really the "chosen son" of the universe.

As the creations of the Son of God, these intelligent AIs also share the honor and disgrace of the humans here.

"very good!"

Li Ang had a strong hunch that there might really be the technological points he wanted in the ruins here, and even a part of them was quite worthwhile.

The next deciphering work must involve AI Europa. After all, Europa's computing power is much stronger than the current AI Loki.

[Boss, there is another key piece of information in the ruins, which is a coordinate system. This coordinate system is in Arcadia, one of the UNSC colonies in the Procyon system! 】

The planet Arcadia mentioned by AI Loki is a large colony with a population of three million, and in the primeval forest of the planet, there are the coordinates and partial information of the shield world.

The so-called shield world is actually a small celestial body composed of an outer surface, an upper metal plate structure and a shell system, with a built-in miniature Dyson sphere and an artificial sun.

This structure has a complete ecosystem, similar to a "small world" independent of the star field, and there are a large number of Templar Defender robots inside.

These temple defenders are composed of stupid AI artificial intelligence, similar to a kind of mechanical sentry, they will kill enemies by firing beams.

You can usually use your own laser to protect the shield world's devices to ensure that it is not invaded by enemies and can be maintained for a long time.

When the Shield World was created, it was originally a giant fortification to help the Forerunners escape the Flood.

But what the Forerunners didn't expect was that the Flood created by the original Prime, after evolving into the Corpse Brain Beast, could even be infected with things like artificial intelligence (AI).

And this directly led to the entire artificial intelligence of the Forerunner civilization being infected and rebelling.

Most of the Forerunners did not have time to retreat to the Shield World. In order to protect their tribesmen from entering the Shield World, many Forerunners directly turned on their halos and perished with the Flood.

After the Forerunners activated their halo and destroyed most of the Flood, a small number of Floods still survived.

And in the shield world, there are still some Flood demons that have not been eliminated!

In Li Ang's memory, he knew that the reason why the Flood Demons that remained in the Shield World were not completely overrun was because of the presence of sentinels like the Temple Defenders.

They relied on strict surveillance and careful prevention and control to always control the number of Flood demons within a suitable range. The two sides have been in a tug-of-war for tens of thousands of years.

But this delicate balance can easily be disrupted by external factors.

If other civilized forces break in without knowing that there are Flood demons here and take the initiative to kill those Flood demons, then they will be in big trouble!

‘It seems we need to act more quickly. ’

Li Ang thought thoughtfully in his heart.

At this moment, the forces that are also eyeing the Shield World and the ruins of the Forerunner civilization are not only the giants of the world, but also the Star Alliance who are rushing here urgently!

Now, the first thing the world's giants have to do is to search for the Flood genetic data preserved in the ruins to see if they can improve the Manticore virus against the Flood.

As long as they can work out the Manticore virus and kill the Flood that exists in the shield world, all the relics left by the Forerunner civilization will be theirs!

Moreover, if Li Ang remembers correctly, there are still fleets left by the Forerunner civilization in that shield world. These fleets are all unmanned ships that can be controlled by AI.

What a coincidence, what the world’s giants are most in need of is AI!

At that time, AI Mr. Blue Eyes, AI Buttermos, and AI Spider Murphy can all be responsible for controlling these ships and driving these warships for their own use.

After determining the next action plan, Li Ang immediately issued an order to Morgan Blackhand on the front line:

"Notify researchers from the Department of Biotechnology immediately to take over the laboratory in the ruins and find out the genetic data about the Flood as soon as possible."

"In addition, notify the frontline headquarters to immediately dispatch members of the Ace Advance Team, and use the transport ship on the Harvest Planet to enter the Arcadia planet disguised as a transport team."

Since they were going to make a fortune in silence, of course they couldn't send out a fleet to forcefully occupy the Arcadia colony.

Enter the village quietly, don't let anyone shoot you.

As long as we can get the technological points and key information in the shield world, this trip will be considered a complete success!

"I will arrange AIs such as Spider Murphy and Buttermos to help you decipher the data of the Forerunners. If necessary, I will ask Europa to come together to assist you."

As soon as Morgan Blackhand heard this, he immediately realized the importance of technological points in the shield world to giant companies.

You know, AI Europa is a transcendent AI that can run the entire production and workflow of giant companies in the world!

Its computing power is enough to support the daily running processes of multiple heavens and worlds.

If Europa is to be mobilized, it will definitely have a series of impacts on the factories and multiple departments of giant companies.

Therefore, before using Transcendent AI Europa, the entire factory area or work department of the giant company needs to stop work and save the data.

"In addition, let's leave the task of going to Reach to kidnap Dr. Kathleen Halsey to David and the others. This task is very arduous and requires you to put more thought into it."

After explaining this series of tasks, Li Ang felt quite emotional. This was the first time he had sent so many troops to perform tasks on multiple fronts at the same time.

And every mission matters!

"Yes, boss!"

Morgan responded.

"That's it."

After the words fell, Li Ang left the center console and took Lucy, Ott Cunningham and others to the observation deck.

Looking at the fleets and engineering teams entering the 004 "Halo" universe in front of him, Li Ang's heart became heavier and heavier.

Seeing Li Ang's slight frown, Lucy, as the secretary-general, took the initiative to step forward and ask: "Boss, will there be any accidents in this operation?"

"Or...there are other forces competing with us for the remains of the Forerunner civilization!"

Lucy's sixth sense has always been accurate, and she did guess what Li Ang was worried about, which was the Star Alliance.

Faced with Lucy's concern, Li Ang nodded slightly and said:

"The 004 universe will become our focus in the next few years, or even ten years."

"On one side are unexpected surprises that may occur in other universes, and on the other side are the "Halo" universes that urgently need to be settled. Multi-line operations will test our execution capabilities."

Li Ang wanted to take care of the world here as soon as possible, but he knew very well that the more urgent it was, the slower it would be, so he had to calm himself down and keep his composure.

After all, the "Halo" universe is a world where the upper limit is revealed, the origin of the universe, and contact with "gods".

Even if we push multiple civilizational forces along the way, it will probably take decades.

Therefore, in Li Ang's vision, he decided to let the world's giants represent the human civilization here and rule the "Halo" universe as the designated successors of the forerunners and the "orthodox heirs" of the descendants of the forerunners!

To put it simply, Li Ang blackmailed the emperor to order the princes!

The princes here naturally refer to other civilized forces, and the emperor is the human civilization here.

And now, Li Ang still needs to do a good show of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey".

The Star Alliance that came to his door was the chicken he had designated!

However, the problem now is that compared with the naval strength of the world's giants and the fleet strength of the Star Alliance, there is actually not much difference.

Unless the [Moon of War] giant structure is moved into the field and destroyed with one shot, otherwise if the strength of the fleets is compared, both sides will most likely fight to the death.

But the War Moon is Li Ang's weapon to guard the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe. He will not use this celestial-level weapon easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

After thinking about it, Li Ang decided to give the Star Alliance a chance to be a new person, or to surrender honestly and become a guard dog for humans.

Or be physically destroyed!

After having a clearer understanding of the current situation facing the giant company, Lucy and Ott were silent for a moment at the same time. No wonder Li Ang felt worried.

As the power territory of giant companies expands, the points that need to be taken into consideration also begin to increase exponentially. This time they have to face more difficulties than any other world in the past!

"Boss, do you need us to do anything for you now?"

Lucy raised her eyes and looked at Li Ang. Even if it meant that Li Ang could relax or feel better at this moment, she would do her best to do it well.

"Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."

Leon looked towards the star gate. His deployment had been issued. This move had been made. The rest depended on how the chess pieces would play out.

…

…

Three days later.

Odegate City, Harvest Star!

Since the advance team of the Universal Corporation raided the city hall and took full control of the operation of Harvest Star, the engineering department of the Corporation immediately began to "grow wildly".

A large number of infrastructure robots, countless patrol aircraft groups, and ground troops quickly occupied the entire territory of Harvest Star.

Soon, with the joint construction of thousands of Hextech robots, several docks and ports for berthing ships have taken shape.

After seeing the generous treatment provided by the Corporation, the local human residents also spontaneously participated in the construction project.

For the workers who have been oppressed and exploited for a long time, as long as they are given due respect and fair treatment, they will 100% support the new regime.

Fairness has always been a rare thing.

The Universal Corporation, which has always taken "equivalent exchange" as its first rule, naturally easily gained the full support of the local residents.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive, who would risk their lives on the rebels and follow these unreliable desperadoes to engage in a headless rebellion.

Compared to being a slave under the control of the UNSC, where every drop of blood and sweat is squeezed out, or following the villain army to risk their lives, it is better to follow the Universal Corporation and live a peaceful and happy life.

In this way, under the leadership of the giant corporation, the situation on the planet of abundance has been completely stabilized, and everything is moving in a good direction.
