Chapter 279 John 117! Resurrecting the Primordial! Prometheus Regiment

Chapter 279 John 117! Resurrect the primordium! Prometheus Chapter!

"Ahem! Let me say...can't you talk about something other than work during your vacation? Aren't you tired enough when you usually work?"

David was speechless and said that since Senior V left the front line and entered the core management position of a giant company, the key tasks and combat plans of the giant company have basically been handed over to him.

For example, David personally led the mission to kidnap missionaries not long ago.

The advantage is that it works more and rises quickly.

Now, David has just completed the last organ modification surgery and has become the second Primaris warrior of a giant company in the world. His influence in the Iron Hands Chapter is rising day by day.

In addition, as soon as David completed the operation, he participated in the post-operative test of killing thousands of experimental monsters by himself, although he successfully passed the test.

But the test results were longer than V's test, five minutes longer, and he was so tired that he stopped eating on the spot and was exhausted.

But at that time, V not only passed the test, but even had enough energy to take the next round of tests. This made David deeply aware of how big the talent gap between himself and V was.

But even so, it does not affect David as a leader among the new generation of Astartes warriors and a strong contender for the future Chapter Master of the Iron Hands Chapter.

"Boss, I really envy you. The Primaris Warriors are an incredible achievement for our company. Even your old bosses Li De and Chief Jack haven't completed their transformation surgeries yet."

"And our upper limit is just that, at most a little better than ordinary people."

William Cage smiled and sighed. The upper limit of a Spartan warrior is obvious. Even a reformer like Rita will only reach the tenth stage of the Astartes warrior level.

As an ordinary Spartan warrior, he is estimated to be at the level of an Astartes warrior in the seventh and eighth stages of surgery.

The gap between him and Primaris warriors like V and David was still quite large.

Although Cage and Rita have normal body shapes, their upper limit of abilities has been locked unless Dr. Halsey starts the third phase of the Spartan research project.

Otherwise their limit would be here.

However, Cage is relatively satisfied with the current situation. As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology and the poor rely on mutation. Their transformations are all precision surgeries performed in laboratories by cutting-edge transformation engineers from giant companies.

A single transformation requires burning countless resources, manpower and material resources. Only in such an environment can they become stronger in a relatively safe state.

This is different from the "evil cultivators" who rely on random drug use, radiation, and infection by unknown viruses.

They follow a well-known and upright spiritual practice, which has no side effects on themselves. If something goes wrong, they will be covered by the medical insurance of the giant company.

And dangerous elements who have become stronger by following "evil cultivators" may one day be treated as wild monsters by the armed forces of giant companies.

"With greater ability comes greater responsibility, and there's nothing to envy about that."

David replied humbly, of course, the first sentence is true and the latter sentence is half true.

After all, it felt really good to be a Primaris warrior. Not only did he become the new star general of the Iron Hands Chapter, but he also made my mother look good in front of the neighbors.

Now that he has all the honors and status, isn’t that what he wants in this life? It’s okay to be a little tired. David is not afraid of studying hard, but he is afraid that it won’t be used anymore.

At this time, Cage, who had just finished eating the noodles at the table, looked at the new recruit who had just been immersed in eating the whole time and seemed to have no reaction to the situation around him.

"Boss, who is that kid? How did he land here? Why does he look a little dazed? He hasn't said a word since he's been out for a long time. He can't be mute."

Seeing that Cage finally noticed this "rookie" with a very low sense of existence, David suddenly realized that he had not introduced them to the new members of the All-Heaven Advance Team.

"I almost forgot to introduce you. This guy's code name is John 117. Well... yes, he has no name, only a code name. From now on, you can just call him John."

"John was one of the first batch of infant experimental subjects used by Dr. Halsey during the UNSC's Spartan II transformation program."

"He is lucky to have persisted all the way until now, and successfully passed the most difficult transformation period, and successfully passed more than ten rounds of tests. Seeing that John is a malleable talent, the higher-ups placed him in our team."

When talking about this, David also told Cage a shocking fact: "Don't look at this rookie's height of 2.1 meters, but this guy was born in the year 2511 of the "Halo" universe."

"It was stimulated and ripened by genetic modification to rapidly develop into its current form. In other words, John is only eight years old now."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Rita, Cage and others looked at John 117 who was immersed in cooking, and said in shock: 'Is this the hell eight years old? ! ’

"Isn't this pure child labor? Is this legal..."

Cage glanced at John with twitching lips, although he couldn't see anything about this guy that had anything to do with the word "child". After all, the muscles on John's body were more powerful than his.

"So what if you're eight years old? It's early for people to retire. From now on, the length of service will be calculated. After working for 40 years, you can retire and receive a pension before you turn 50. Isn't that wonderful?"

David smiled, "John just had the surgery not long ago, and needs to adapt to human society for a while, so I brought him out to see the world."

"That's true... Unlike me, I go to work late, and I'll be an old man in my seventies or eighties when I retire." Cage clicked his tongue thoughtfully.

David looked at John 117 beside him. In fact, this kid's life story is quite tragic. He was an orphan, an experimental subject, a lucky man, became stronger, and the only survivor. He has all the protagonist buffs in this series.

For this Spartan warrior who was accelerated by genetic modification, David sighed more. When the scientific research department staff of the giant enterprise first saw John rescued from the UNSC laboratory, he was already in an irreversible stage.

The scientific research team of the giant enterprise could only follow the process and continue to help John complete the transformation, and finally created such a "human miracle" without any danger!

And other children who had the same experience as John 117 all died of rejection reactions. Among the first batch of transformed experimental subjects, only John was left.

Of course, in the future Spartan warrior transformation plan, the Universal Corporation must carefully select from the academy, and train and transform children for a long time.

After all, only John 117 has the protagonist halo like "Nezha". Nezha became a saint in three years, and John developed completely in eight years. The two have similar experiences, which also indicates that John's extraordinary life has just begun.

Then, everyone began to sweep the food on the table, and when it was completely dark, David and others finished their meal.

As early as the first day of the holiday, they had agreed to eat and go shopping in Reach, and then take an interstellar cruise to travel to the Earth of "Halo".

So as soon as he finished eating, David took Rita and others to various blocks to see novel entertainment venues and see if there were any suitable houses.

Thanks to the development of the Universal Corporation in the universe, the housing prices in the human world have basically fallen to the cost price.

Except for the core area like Night City, the price of a house in other areas is at most twice the cost of construction. Hmm... the most sci-fi episode, but it really exists here.

Therefore, every employee of the Universal Corporation will buy a new house for themselves in the human society of multiple universes for their own convenience.

Although it is a holiday now, David and his team dare not delay for a moment and travel according to the established plan meticulously.

After all, once the holiday is over, they have to return to the main universe to participate in training immediately. When the three years are up, they should step into the new world of the heavens!

…

…

3 years and 149 days later.

Main universe, Universal City, Night City!

Under the control of the astronomical system, the climate of this super giant city is still so comfortable. The fresh artificial breeze blows through each giant building and finally hits the upper floors of the Universal Headquarters.

At this moment, a news message about the quantum slingshot and Dyson cloud is being played on the holographic giant screen of the Night City Municipal Center.

[We have completed these two epic projects. The quantum slingshot in the Halo universe and the Dyson cloud megastructure in the main universe solar system have been completed! ]

[The light of creation is a huge curtain. Insight into the mysteries of the universe is endless joy. On this long road to eternity, our brilliant thoughts are condensed. ]

[In the dark and boundless universe, only the light of perception that symbolizes truth can sweep away every shadow in the night for civilization! ]

[……]

After more than three years of construction, the fifth-stage quantum slingshot megastructure and the sixth-stage Dyson cloud megastructure have finally been completely completed and officially put into use.

The strategic thrower quantum slingshot was set up in the 004 Halo universe for emergency use.

The Dyson cloud megastructure was put into use in the resource galaxy areas of various celestial regions in the main universe.

The so-called Dyson Cloud is actually a bit similar to the Dyson Sphere, but it is a large group of interconnected satellite devices used to increase the output of stellar resources.

Giant companies can build a Dyson Cloud array on a resource star to increase its resource output by more than five times, up to 30 times!

If the function of the Dyson Sphere is to squeeze out the energy of a star, then the Dyson Cloud is to quickly drain the resources of stars or other planets at a high frequency.

This is equivalent to adding a speed Buff to the mining progress, increasing the output of energy and minerals.

The most important thing is that the construction cost of the Dyson Cloud is not high, and it is even the one with the lowest resources among the previous megastructures!

So as early as three years ago, Li Ang ordered the construction of 10 Dyson Cloud megastructures in one go, which is why he dared to propose to open the world of the heavens again in three years.

As long as the production intensity of logistics is guaranteed, the Universal Giant Company can continue to make efforts to explore new worlds while stabilizing multiple universes!

‘Unlocking two megastructures at one time, the amount of corporate currency settlement this time is really beyond imagination! ’

Leon couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The value of the enterprise coins brought to him by the Halo universe was quite explosive, excluding the template unlocking of two megastructures.

He still had a lot of enterprise coins left, but unfortunately, he still needed a lot of enterprise coins to unlock the next megastructure, so Lion would exchange nine extra Dyson clouds to increase productivity.

After all, the gap was too far, and there was no point in saving it. It was better to increase productivity first to ensure the smooth operation of the megastructure and continue to work on the next dungeon.

At this time, Li Ang brought up the holographic screen and looked at the star map of the situation in the Halo universe.

Under the leadership of Dr. Halsey, the first batch of Halo arrays have been deployed to the war zone of the Milky Way in the Halo universe.

The Universal Alliance led by Reed and Jack has also fought all large-scale and small-scale battles. The remaining Star Alliance is just an insignificant guerrilla.

Just send some destroyers to completely wipe them out.

The end of the Unified Star Alliance War means that the various worlds have stabilized, and the various departments of the Universal Corporation, which have been preparing for three years, can start a new journey at any time!

"Loki, switch the real-time images of the Primordials and Missionaries to me. I want to check their current status."

After reading the star map, Li Ang spoke to the cabinet AI Loki in the headquarters room.

Immediately, AI Loki responded: [Yes, boss. 】

The next second, the primordium and the missionary, who were in a top-secret basement somewhere in the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, appeared on the holographic screen.

The primordium, which was like a giant flea and covered with disgusting sticky tentacles, and the missionary, who was wearing a black robe and had a strong physique, were in a stagnant state in different rooms.

It turned out that as early as two years ago, the scientific research department of the Universal Giant Enterprise had completely cracked the program of the flood spores through the information in the think tank.

They cultivated a large number of controllable corpse brain beasts based on the original code in the flood spores, and through the method of "raising poison", they tinkered with the corpse brain beast king, which is the only ultimate corpse brain beast.

As expected, the corpse brain beast king, which became the ultimate form, activated all the consciousness, wisdom, and memory data of the primordium. Under the cultivation of the giant enterprise, the primordium reborn from the dirty earth was "resurrected"!

Of course, such a dangerous alien Lao Deng, Li Ang connected it to the matrix as soon as possible.

With the control of the matrix, the primordium had to help the research department of the giant enterprise continue to decipher other content information of the think tank under the coercion of Leon.

So far, 30.33% of the content of the Forerunner's think tank has been deciphered by the Universal Giant Enterprise, nearly one-third of the knowledge!

The vast majority of the content is the history, humanities information, and sacrificial rules of all civilized species in the "Halo" universe.

There is no way, after all, only this type of information is the easiest to decipher, such as scientific weapons, equipment and other knowledge. Even if it is deciphered, it needs to be reproduced and experimented, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

As for the missionary who was also forcibly connected to the matrix, he was left by Leon as the leader of the alien war group.

After all, this old guy is a rare genius. He once led the Prometheus Legion of the Forerunner civilization and crushed countless civilized species.

The ancient humans and the ancient prophets were all defeated by it. Converted into famous generals in ancient China, it is roughly equivalent to a military god like Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty.

And such a capable character naturally has his own pride. In order to make the missionary willing to work for him, Leon agreed to two conditions that he could not refuse.

The first condition is to help the missionary find other survivors of the Forerunners.

The "Halo" universe and the Milky Way have such a large territory, and there may be other Forerunners living in a certain relic area.

Or find a relic point where the genes of the Forerunners are stored, and rely on the power of the Universal Giant Enterprise to revive the Forerunners.

To do this, the help of the giant enterprise is still needed. The missionary must admit that he cannot do it alone.

The second condition is that Leon guarantees the employment of the missionary.

According to the scientific and technological information in the think tank, the Research Department has reproduced the Forerunner's recombiner and created a large number of Forerunner AI robots.

Immediately afterwards, Leon ordered the Research Department to use the recombiner to create 3,000 Prometheus Knights, and cooperate with the Lurkers and Observers to form a complete Forerunner Legion.

As combat units of the revived Prometheus Corps, they will all be led by the missionary and serve the Universal Corporation.

The two conditions proposed by Leon solved the missionary's work and family needs at one time. As for his lover, the think tank chief, he no longer had to worry about it.

As early as during the Flood War, in order to protect the tribe's safety into the Shield World, the think tank chief went to the Halo alone to activate the array device, which also led to his death with most of the Flood demons.

In the end, she died.

So the only way out for the missionary is to accept the work arranged by Leon and do the professional counterparts of "killing people and making trouble".

For the missionary, death is actually a very easy thing, but finding the Forerunners and reviving the Forerunners are two things that are more worth doing than dying.

Although it is very unhappy with the Universal Corporation as a recycler, the missionary has to admit that it is time to let go of the previous grievances.

Even the tribesmen were killed by the flood, what's the point of worrying about revenge, and you can't bring the dead back to life.

For Leon, whether the Forerunners are completely destroyed or not, it does not affect the fact that the Universal Corporation is the leader of the "Halo" universe.

Anyway, the matrix monitors and controls all the thoughts, words and deeds of the missionaries, so Leon is not worried about not being able to manipulate them.

In short, the missionaries must work hard for the Corporation.

At this time, Leon switched the screen to the missionary's room and said to it through the communication device:

"Captain, your Prometheus regiment members are fully prepared and can now go to the F32 training ground at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base to train soldiers."

The Prometheus regiment that Leon mentioned is a pioneer legion composed of three modules: knights, lurkers, and observers.

Knights refer to a type of mechanical warrior. They are extracted from the soul consciousness of "people" by the Forerunner's recombiner, converted into digital consciousness and downloaded into the mechanical body, or directly controlled by AI.

This type of mechanical warrior looks like a mantis, and has four hands, and light blades on their arms.

They will be equipped with the most advanced protective armor and use various weapons, including plasma swords, halberds, and guns, highlighting their proficiency in all kinds of martial arts.

As for lurkers, they are various advanced and flexible AI four-legged robots that assist knights in completing a series of combat missions.

They can provide auxiliary output firepower for knights and are the "battle pets" of knights. Their positioning is roughly equivalent to Erlang Shen's Roaring Sky Dog.

And observers are a support role.

They can create energy shields to protect the knights, and can bounce back the enemy's throwing weapons, and even use repair rays to revive the dead knights!

It can be said that the position of the observer is equivalent to battlefield assistance, acting as a front-line tank and nurse.

So a complete Prometheus Corps is composed of warriors who play the main output, assassins who go around and assassinate the enemy's fragile skin, and nurses who are tanks and blood recovery!

And the assets of this 3,000-man army are the entrepreneurial funds that Leon gave to the missionary. Whether it can expand the scale of this Prometheus Corps by "compounding interest" depends on its business capabilities.
