Chapter 310 The Imperial Capital! Kaitan City! The Enthronement Ceremony of the Divine Emperor!

005 "Dune" universe!

Two months passed in a flash. Under the leadership of the giants of the world, the Atreides family and the Harkonnen family joined forces with a group of small families to start a unification war that affected the Galactic Empire.

When the giant coalition forces approached the city and arrived at the military strongholds of the Colino family, most of them were greeted by the surrender of Kaesong.

Only a very small number of Toutiewa will continue to resist, and then die tragically under the giant cannons of giant companies.

Without the assistance of the Sisterhood, the remaining Colino family would be unable to resist the encirclement and suppression of so many families.

Facing this overwhelming wave of offensive, they could only desperately accept the destined outcome of decline.

During the final stage of unifying the "Dune" universe, investigators from various giant companies in the world searched the secret passages of the Colino royal family and recovered a large amount of gold and silver treasures, as well as samples of ancient AI.

When the heads of other powerful families learned that the Colino family prohibited other families from possessing AI technology, but harbored and developed AI technology on their own.

They immediately broke through Hongwen's defense.

Sure enough, rules have always been just a means to restrict the weak. Even the royal family themselves "know the law and break it" and violate their own national policies. Only small families like them foolishly abide by the law!

For a time, the voice of crusading and destroying the Colino royal family became even louder in the empire, and all the families wanted to rip off the royal family members.

In this regard, the global giants do not have any interference and are only responsible for the integration progress of the universe, as well as receiving and researching the ancient AI from the "Dune" universe.

After conducting a series of detailed studies on this ancient AI, personnel from the scientific research department of the giant company discovered that this thing is really not simple.

It can be regarded as some kind of advanced AI life form. Its strength is similar to the intelligent AI passed down from the Forerunner civilization. They also have a strong desire to reproduce and evolve.

These primitive forms of ancient AI have already shown their amazing potential. After several stages of evolution, they will show more powerful abilities and recreate the glory of their ancestors.

For such an awesome AI life form, the giant company naturally connected it to the matrix as soon as possible and used it as a petri dish matrix to create more controllable ancient AIs in "Dune".

As a key productivity factory resource, AI is the core technology developed by giant companies around the world over the years. Various automated creations are inseparable from AI, and even the maintenance of the military requires AI.

In fact, in the human world controlled by global giants, AI has long become an inseparable part of mankind. The AI ​​girlfriend "Joy", the same style as "Blade Runner", is the most fashionable AI product at the moment.

The clone factory in Ideal City produces top-quality Nexus-9 clones. Customers can customize the appearance and body shape of the clones, plus a well-tuned AI.

Everyone can get the soul mate they want, such as some customized life-long companion AI, which can even conceive and give birth to the next generation for customers.

Although this has brought about huge changes in the traditional family structure, everyone has chosen to accept the general trend of the new era calmly.

After all, humans are a convenience and self-interested species. With better choices, who would choose the inefficient and outdated process of "getting acquainted, falling in love, cooling off period, breaking up, and going on a blind date".

And this ancient AI with huge evolutionary potential can be regarded as one of the important trophies that Li Ang got in the 005 "Dune" universe.

With this new type of AI, the productivity of giant companies can be raised to another level, and the happiness of human society can once again be improved!

Except for the ancient AI, which still has some value, the other items sealed and left behind by the Colino royal family are of little interest. They are nothing more than precious metals, rare treasures and the like.

It is worth mentioning that the integration of the giant companies was completed smoothly this time, mainly due to the fact that the Colino family usually offended too many people.

The head of each family wanted to kill all the members of the royal family. Without Song Zhaomei's special reminder, these old men took the initiative to pick up the sword and chop people off themselves.

Soon, the Colino royal family was completely destroyed and collapsed under the siege of various families, from a powerful family in the Galactic Empire to an annihilated mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In less than a year, the Colino family was completely submerged in the history of the "Dune" universe, and the world can no longer see traces of their past!

When the old emperor dies, it is the new emperor's turn to take over, continue to rule this ancient galactic empire, redistribute the empire's power and interests, and shape a new political landscape.

Among them, the most puzzling and shocking thing for the heads of the major families was that Baron Baron, who was supposed to be a war criminal, was not executed together with Emperor Shadam.

This cunning fat man was actually on the enfeoffment and knighthood lists of major families. Barron was even promoted, directly from baron to duke!

In the title system of the Galactic Empire, Duke has the highest status, followed by Earl, and Baron last. These titles were all determined in the AI ​​Holy War ten thousand years ago.

And the Baron of the Harkonnen family, whose natural status and class were two levels lower than the Duke of the Atreides family, was actually able to reach the level of the Atreides.

It can be seen from this that the ability and vision of this old fat man, Baron Barron, are indeed extraordinary. This is also the fundamental reason why Li Ang kept this villain.

He always likes to use capable people.

Although Baron Barron's promotion to Duke Barron caused a lot of controversy and confusion in the family, only Barron himself knew it.

The reason why he can live to this day is not only because he admitted his defeat quickly, but also because he relied on plundering and greed in his early years to build up the family foundation.

For a qualified head of a family, the most important thing is to plunder as many resources as possible to ensure the survival and risk resistance of his family.

Because only in this way can his family continue to exist.

The Lansgard Union controlled by the Atreides family is essentially to plunder the emperor's power and strengthen its own strength.

It's just that Duke Leto is smarter and knows to leave some soup for other family brothers and make a fortune with a large group of brothers, so he was not hated and only offended the royal family.

But Baron Barron chose a completely opposite path from Leto. He supported the Corino royal family and was willing to be the henchman of Emperor Shaddam to snatch benefits from other small families.

In essence, these two different paths are not right or wrong, and neither is better. What the two families are betting on is luck and the fortune of the family.

Leto bet that he could beat up the royal family in a group, while Barron bet that he could bully all the families with the royal family.

Even the sisterhood, which was running back and forth secretly, could not see clearly who would be the winner in the end, so the Virgin Helen slept with Barron while forcing her daughter Jessica to Leto.

She even took the time to go to Emperor Shaddam to serve him in person.

In this power struggle, the heads of each big family were all top chess players, and no one had made any mistakes or exposed their weaknesses.

Among these families, the family that went against the current throughout the whole process was not Atreides, but the Harkonnen family, which was regarded as the villain!

They fought for the big with the small, and from outsiders who were not qualified to play chess at all, they entered the forefront of the imperial power struggle. Their hard-working attitude was very touching.

With his unremitting efforts over the years, Barron finally raised enough resources to bet and stand on the side, so at the critical moment when the Universal Corporation appeared, he seized the only chance to save his life.

After supporting the Atreides family to successfully take power, the Universal Corporation must have needed a new role to act as a check and balance.

This key information point was successfully captured by Barron, who was politically experienced and unique, so he volunteered to play this key role.

The resources and family heritage that the Harkonnen family had obtained through years of plunder and exploitation were the basis for him to make this promise to the giant company.

If other small families said such words? Where did they come from? Go to where they are. It is not their turn to check and balance the Atreides.

For the giant company, Barron's volunteering just solved Leon's strategic goal of checking and balancing the Atreides and maintaining the balance of the empire.

First of all, if it is to support other small families, it is difficult to choose the right candidates, because most of the aristocratic families have a good relationship with Atreides.

This is thanks to the old man, Duke Leto, who has been taking the route of uniting the aristocratic families since his debut. Most of the imperial families have received his favors.

As the saying goes, if you take someone's money, you will be short-handed and eat someone's money. Can the new family supported by the Harkonnen do it like the Harkonnen, and fight against the Atreides family to the death? Leon really doesn't think that group of good-for-nothings can do it.

But the Harkonnen family is completely different!

Whether it is from grievances and hatreds, or family origins, this pair of families are natural nemesis, and they don't like each other. This is the perfect chess piece for giant companies to balance the situation.

Although it doesn't have to be the Harkonnen family, if it is the Harkonnen family, the effect will be better, that's all.

Of course, the main reason is that Leon believes that Barron is indeed competitive enough, and his power base, political status, and territory resources are naturally weaker than the Atreides family.

He has managed to get to this point today, which shows that Barron is indeed capable. If it weren't for Barron's greed and extortion, he would not have the confidence to say that he could be a dog for the giant company.

After all, even if you are a dog leg, you need to have skills.

However, among many families, the biggest winner is still the Chosen Son Atreides Family!

As the head of the family who has made it clear from the beginning that he can win to the end, Leto is particularly proud at this moment.

Now he is the president of the Galactic Empire Universal Trade Chamber of Commerce, mainly responsible for coordinating the transportation of goods for the giant company by the major families.

This is a hereditary iron rice bowl, enough to ensure the prosperity of the Atreides Family from generation to generation, provided that their successors do not commit suicide.

If they do not commit suicide, the Atreides people can rest on their merits and live freely forever.

In addition, Leto's wife Jessica also joined the sisterhood department of the giant company and became the supervisor of the sisterhood members.

This is also a serious giant enterprise organization!

Under Jessica's management, the current sisterhood will continue to develop and research more functions of spices, and will cultivate the spice industry to achieve complete industrial integration.

The spices produced will be transported to various universes as best-selling products of the world giant enterprise, harvesting resources from other civilized species and draining their young labor force.

Of course, the sisters still need to continue to use their traditional skills within giant companies, that is, publicity, legends, prophecies, proverbs, and all the arrangements they can make.

In order to build momentum for the ascension of God-Emperor Leon, the sisters of the Sisterhood worked hard to fabricate a series of legends and stories, which confused a large number of ordinary people who did not know the truth and were stunned.

For a time, prophecies about the God-Emperor spread.

[The God-Emperor of the Galaxy replaces the brutal and incompetent Colino family], [The dawn of hope returns to the empire! Legends such as "The God-Emperor's blessings spread across the galaxy" quickly spread to every corner of the empire.

In short, the giant companies in the world have only released one key message to the humans in the 005 "Dune" universe, that is, there will be a change of dynasty soon.

From the big families down to the common people, they all came to recognize the master!

Today, all the heads of the major families in the Galactic Empire gathered on Kaitan, the former capital of the empire, for the enthronement ceremony of God Emperor Leon.

Although the previous planet Kaitan suffered a fierce unification war, which caused a large number of buildings to be damaged.

But fortunately, after the war, some places were still reserved, which could be used to temporarily rebuild a decent capital city.

Under the overnight construction of the engineering department of the giant company in the world, a fairly majestic Kaitan City will serve as the place where Li Ang will ascend the throne this time.

Moreover, after the coronation ceremony, Kaitan will continue to exist as the capital of the empire. What the giant companies have to do is to renovate and rebuild Kaitan on the original basis.

This is not because Li Ang is willing to continue to live in the "haunted house" where people have died in order to save money and trouble, but the geographical location of Kaitan is quite good.

The ancestors of the Colino royal family were not fools. The huge Galactic Empire, of course, gave priority to leaving the best planets and galaxies to their descendants.

Since Kaitan is a good site for the "carefully selected fine products" of successive emperors Shadam, then Li Ang will definitely not give it to other families in vain. Even if he can't live there, it would be good to keep it as a palace.

At this time, the city of Kaitan was already crowded with dignitaries from various universes, ranging from human races to alien races.

No one wanted to miss the God-Emperor's coronation ceremony.

I saw that the imperial capital, located on the plain, had long since lost the post-war depression of a few months ago. Instead, people of all ethnic groups shuttled between the main roads.

This temporarily rebuilt Kaitan City retains most of the local architectural style, but some areas already have traces of the cyber city.

Although the unique humanistic atmosphere of the Galactic Empire makes the buildings here unique, compared with the efficient, convenient, and simple facilities in the main universe, this place seems a bit behind.

As a super civilization involved in the universe, it is of course necessary for the global giants to provide more convenient life choices for ordinary residents.

In addition, humans in the "Dune" universe will sooner or later participate in various departments of giant companies in the world, and follow the instructions of giant companies to travel to various universes or carry out construction matters.

Therefore, the Galactic Empire will definitely keep up with the transformation process of giant companies and slowly transition to a new future era.

At this time, it was located in the eastern area of ​​Kaitan City, on a bustling commercial street.

Qini Keynes, wearing a brown combat uniform, was walking to the Enthronement Square in the north of the city with her tribe and leader.

Since the Fremen on Arrakis were recruited into the army by the giants of the world, Qini, the heroine of "Dune" who was supposed to be acquainted with Paul, naturally became a member of the Fremen Legion of the giants.

Qini is now a legionnaire of a giant company.

At this moment, Qini was following closely beside Stilgar, the leader of the Fremen tribe, blinking her cautious and curious blue eyes, carefully observing everything around her.

The dazzling array of products from various universes dazzled her. Qini wanted to stop and pick something to take away, but unfortunately she did not dare to speak.

After all, logically speaking, she is not qualified to come here to visit and witness the enthronement ceremony of God Emperor Li Ang like these powerful people.

But fortunately, Stilger, as the leader of the Fremen people, accepted the recruitment of the giant company as a matter of course and became the leader of the Fremen war group of the giant company.

With this level of identity, Stilger can take Qini, a girl, to Kaitan City to broaden his horizons.

An ordinary person would not get this opportunity.

"I heard that there is a cyber city called Night City on His Majesty the God-Emperor's home planet, Ideal City. The scene there is even more magnificent than here. I wonder when I can go and see it!"

At this time, one of the Fremen warriors spoke excitedly.

He has lived in the endless sand dunes since he was a child. In addition to the fine sand, there are huge sandworms. It is not as majestic as the city of Kaitan.

Just standing here, he felt like he was in heaven. What a gorgeous scene the legendary Night City would be!

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

Stilger said calmly without looking back: "At that time, under the unified arrangement of the giant company, we will go to Ideal City to participate in military training."

"You guys give me some credit and don't embarrass me as a Fremen during training."

After speaking, Stilge ordered the soldiers to keep their eyes open and speak as little as possible to avoid conflicts with others.

Because the people who can come here are all big shots who are either rich or noble. As a battle group unit that has just joined a giant company, they have the backing of the Development Department.

But at this moment, the Fremen had not established any decent achievements, so they did not have much confidence to speak up.

At this moment, keeping a low profile as much as possible was the best choice.

"Yes! Captain."

The Fremen warriors nodded, immediately put away their playful expressions, and followed Stilgar silently into the depths of the crowd.

Chini kept her slightly dry and flaky lips tightly closed throughout the whole process. She did not imagine what Night City would look like like other warriors of the same race.

What she really wanted in her heart was to stand on the top of Night City and overlook the entire empire of the Universal Giant Enterprise.

The chance of staying in the Fremen War Group was too small. Only by joining the Heavens Vanguard or the Ace Vanguard would there be more opportunities!

"It's started--!"

At this time, someone suddenly shouted excitedly in the crowded crowd, and the Fremen warriors immediately looked in the direction the crowd was looking.

In the center of the wide square, Astartes warriors wearing MarkX heavy armor and Spartan warriors wearing Thor's Hammer power armor began to surround the square and take charge of the order on the scene.

Under the high platform at the core of the square, the heads of the major families of the empire gathered in their best attire.

Duke Leto of the Atreides family, Baron Baron of the Harkonnen family, Jessica, the head of the sisterhood, and the head of the Space Guild, etc., all attended and took their places.

As for the people who appeared on the high platform, in addition to the newly replaced interstellar governor V, there were also Song Zhaomei, the current governor of the Dune universe, Jack, Reed, Morgan and other marshal-level generals.

These people were all the heads of various departments of the giant companies, controlling the administrative power of each department. At this time, they stood on both sides of the high platform with solemn and solemn expressions, like statues of gods.
