Chapter 187 Ship Wreckage, Six Million Armed Forces, Unstoppable Zerg (Two in One)

In the conference room, the holographic projection presented the scene and brief data of the other side of the space gate to the investigators.

Such as: "Gravity: 0.998g,

Nitrogen: about 77%,

Oxygen: about 21%,

Carbon dioxide: about 0.03%", etc.

At the same time, the drone released by the advance team also took a close-up photo of the large building mentioned by Ada Wang.

The track that goes straight to the sky alone is enough to prove that the large building in front of us is a track elevator.

However, before the thorough investigation, the company and Ada still use "suspected" to describe it.

In addition, in addition to the elevator, the drone also photographed a vast area of ​​farmland, fully automated agricultural machines responsible for harvesting and collecting, and -

"humans".

Between the farmlands, there are humanoid species that are consistent with humans in appearance and clothing aesthetics.

But no matter how Leon, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at it, he felt that the humanoid species photographed by the drone were human farmers.

At this time, Ada saw that everyone had finished browsing the general images and information, and continued to talk:

"According to the preliminary investigation of the advance team, we can know that the planet has extremely similar gravity and atmospheric composition to the earth.

At the same time, based on the analysis of the images sent back by the drone, the company has reason to believe that it is the humans in the 08 universe who have carried out some kind of transformation on the planet.

If the 08 humans have the technology to transform the planet, it means that their overall technology is above the company, so the company needs our investigators to obtain detailed intelligence and perform infiltration and infiltration missions as usual.

Wait."

At this point, Ada saw a reminder on the screen on the podium, so she opened it by reaching out and touching it.

After a few seconds.

She looked up at Leon and others and said: "The orbital drone launched by the engineering department has successfully entered the designated universe and photographed part of the planet's appearance."

As she said, she freed her hands to debug and played it for all the investigators present using holographic projection.

Due to the scattering effect, the atmosphere of the planet also emits a light blue light in the eyes of humans.

At the same time, there is a vast blue ocean, land covered with green vegetation, and white clouds, forming an exquisite "painting".

However, the orbital drone also captured the sunward orbit of the planet, where there are a lot of "bright spots" reflecting crystal light.

Enlarge it.

Lyon and his team found through the perspective of the orbital drone that those "bright spots" were actually the wreckage of the destroyed ship, which turned into orbital garbage and revolved around the planet.

!

After seeing that it was the wreckage of the ship, Lyon and his team's expressions instantly became a little solemn.

And Ada immediately added: "The company calculated that the diameter of the planet is about 4,000 kilometers with the help of the perspective of the orbital drone and curvature measurement.

Finally, I reiterate that your mission is to sneak into and infiltrate the local human society, obtain detailed information about the 08 universe, and find out the ins and outs of the wreckage of the ship. Who has any questions?"

After talking about the mission objectives, Ada looked around at everyone present.

After waiting for a while, seeing everyone shaking their heads in silence, Ada said "disband" and took the lead in leaving the meeting room.

Seeing this, all the investigators stood up, picked up their backpacks that had been packed, pulled their equipment boxes with wheels, and came to the outside passage one after another, walking towards the nearest station.

As for Lyon, Mike Monadi, who had a good relationship with him, walked a little later.

Moreover, Mike also whispered to him, "Hey, how are you and Director Wang?"

"What's going on?" Lyon frowned slightly.

"Playing dumb?" Mike laughed again, "It seems that your face is ineffective with Director Wang, but why does she always take special care of you?"

"." Lyon was speechless.

Indeed, Ada took special care of him. But unlike what Mike said, she gave him some dangerous single-person operations to complete.

Although Ada would say to him "You can do it" and "You have a unique element of luck, do a good job" every time she arranged a single-person operation, Lyon always felt that he was targeted.

However, Leon was indeed full of curiosity about Ada, and even had the urge to invite her to dinner, but he really didn't have the time and opportunity.

As if seeing Leon's concerns, Mike suggested: "What are you afraid of? Go ahead, it's done! With a girlfriend like the director, even if you fail! No one will say anything.

No, I will definitely say you, my friend, you are the real hero at that time." Mike pretended to be serious and put his hand on Leon's shoulder.

"Stop it."

Leon shook his head helplessly, "Let's focus on the current task. I don't have time to talk about emotional issues now, and I don't have that intention for the director."

"I don't believe you, okay, take care of yourself." Mike patted Leon's shoulder again.

Then, the two of them came to the station with more than a hundred colleagues from the investigation department and took the rail train into the core area of ​​the ruins base.

And through the window, the group witnessed the eighth space door like a mercury mirror.

The heavy-duty magnetic levitation trucks and low-altitude transport boats belonging to the Engineering Department are constantly crossing the space gate and rushing to the surface of the planet on the other side to start construction work.

At the same time.

On the second floor of the command center located in the core area, one can clearly see the rail train carrying investigators heading towards the waiting area of ​​the eighth space gate.

"."

Sui Yang, who was standing by the observation window, glanced at the slowly slowing rail train, and then focused his attention on the space door again.

Not long ago.

To be precise, sixteen days ago, he, Guilliman, and Sanguinius participated in a hearing convened by the United Nations. Taking advantage of the opportunity to attract global attention, they dispatched troops to take over various countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. , using relatively bloody methods to eradicate the remnants of the powerful and powerful who were hiding in the dark.

You must know that Guilliman did not return to the main universe alone. His eldest son also brought 270,000 armed personnel to assist the company's unified operations.

In the Zero-One Universe (Edge of Tomorrow) that Guilliman is responsible for, countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States are also controlled by powerful organizations.

However, due to the invasion of mimic species, the world situation in Zero-One Universe was forcibly reshaped, and it has a more chaotic social environment than the main universe.

Sui Yang valued this and sent Guilliman as the "Governor" of Universe Zero-1. He took the opportunity to gather tens of millions of refugees, and then used Europe as the foundation to advance outward, and then relied on the "legitimate reasons" brought by online public opinion. ", launched a crushing confrontation with Britain, the United States and other countries.

Finally, at the end of 2000 in the main universe, Atlas completed the integration of Earth Zero-1.

Moreover, this also allowed Atlas to instantly free up a total of more than two million armed forces.

The reason why Sui Yang did not adopt a radical strategy against the main universe from the beginning was to minimize the number of casualties and wait for external factors to disrupt the original stable situation so that Atlas could have a suitable "excuse" to fight back. Bloody Get rid of those powerful people who have made the earth a mess.

The arrival of the Reaper's reconnaissance carrier gave them a perfect opportunity.

First, we solved the external worry of the mother ship's attack, and then turned the focus internally. We used Atlas to establish a good image for half a century, allowing the people to spontaneously fight against negative public opinion, which gave them an "excuse" to fight back. .

The eagerness of countries such as Britain and the United States and the powerful people behind them to jump over the wall is also directly related to Sui Yang's "unpretentious" business competition and various assassination methods.

This is why Atlas calls the powerful the remnants of the powerful, after all, they are all about to be killed.

Sui Yang kept the remnants and let them serve as fuses to ignite the unified operation.

The more important point is that there are a large number of investigators who only take orders from him among the high-level officials of various countries.

For example, Irons, who helped Arthur Morgan quickly take control of Washington, D.C., was adopted by his parents who were orphans in the 1930s.

These investigators lurking within various countries rarely contact Atlas on their own initiative. They will also publicly condemn Atlas' various actions on social media and are hostile to officials and generals who are openly supported by Atlas.

Therefore, countries affected by Atlas' overt and covert calculations, especially the United States, had 25 states completely separated from federal control by mid-2000.

However, the coordinated action sixteen days ago still plunged the situation on Earth into chaos, violent incidents surged, and armed conflicts were inevitable.

And the chaos will last for months.

However, the attack of the Reaper's reconnaissance mothership made Sui Yang realize that there are many alien races and civilizations in the main universe, so he must take tough measures to speed up progress, end the internal friction on the main universe earth, and focus all his energy on development , construction and colonization of the solar system above.

As for establishing a human empire in the 30th millennium like "Warhammer 40k"

To be honest, this is indeed within the scope of Sui Yang's consideration, but the current main universe, Earth, still needs some time to transition, and continuing to accelerate will only be counterproductive.

On the other hand, the "United Human Government" seems to be one of the best options.

In addition, as of now, Atlas has a regular armed force of about six million people, of which Universe Zero-One accounts for 1/3 of the total.

The so-called regular armed establishment is uniformly called "armed security" within Atlas, equipped with mechanical skeletons and modular firearms, as well as corresponding armor and aviation units.

The reason why most armed security guards choose to join Atlas is very simple, that is, for a better salary, and then try to be promoted to the elite ranks to obtain truly high income and high benefits.

Of course, Atlas also needs these people to "top up" and be responsible for garrisoning, maintenance and large-scale warfare.

The total number of elites with guaranteed physical fitness and combat experience, such as emergency countermeasures, rapid response, orbital assault, and special forces performing different tasks, is approximately 360,000.

These elites, who have been carefully selected, deeply agree with the company, or Sui Yang's own philosophy.

The salary usually ranges from 5 to 25 times that of armed security guards. Veterans who have served for more than three years enjoy free medical benefits.

If an elite is unfortunately killed in battle, the company's regulatory department will continue to provide welfare policies for no more than three generations after verifying their family status to ensure that these immediate family members do not need to consider survival and medical issues.

However, the regulatory authorities will also secretly monitor these families. If any illegal, extravagant and wasteful behavior is discovered, all benefits will be immediately withdrawn.

Atlas, who is involved in the multiverse, is rich, but he will never tolerate the slightest levity, without exception.

The second step is to openly recruit Astartes adapters from the people of Universe 03 (Destroyer).

Forming a legion based on his sons is one of Sui Yang's main goals at this stage.

The fundamental reason for choosing Universe 03 is that the people of Universe 03 have a firm will that far exceeds that of their compatriots in other universes. When fighting against the chaotic forces of subspace in the future, they can minimize the risk of being deluded and corrupted.

Finally, there is Universe 08.

Sui Yang handed over the unification matters to Guilliman and Sanguinius, and started preparations, opening the eighth space gate today.

When Price led the contingent to set foot in Universe 08 and transmitted the information there to the command center one after another, Sui Yang relied on his intuition and knowledge of the game before time travel to recognize at a glance that the space gate link was--

"Halo".

When he was still a minor, the first shooting game he came into contact with was "Counter-Strike 1.5", and the second one was "Halo: Combat Evolved".

The Marines in "Halo" who can tease and tell cold jokes, as well as the powerful elites and funny Grunts impressed him even more.

As for the absolute protagonist of the "Halo" series, the Master Chief he and the players control is a super soldier created by the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), the human military organization in the game.

In order to respond to the intensifying colonial rebellion and avoid the fragmentation of the United Earth Government (UEG), the UNSC launched the second phase of the Orion Project in 2511, which was also known as the Spartan II to all players.

The leader of the project is Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, a talented scientist who specializes in many fields.

After 2511, UNCS cooperated with Halsey to secretly kidnap a group of children who were eligible for genetic modification and replaced them with clones with physical defects.

After that, relying on high-intensity military training and genetic enhancement surgery with a mortality rate of over 50%, only 33 candidates successfully survived and became Spartan II warriors who were feared by all enemies.

Among them is the Master Chief, John 117, who has luck beyond imagination.

However, even though Sui Yang was one of the many fans of "Halo" before time travel, it does not mean that he is willing to let the current Atlas directly contact this parallel universe.

Because there are ancient interstellar overlords there, an alliance of alien races that regard interstellar overlords as gods, and a creator who created interstellar overlords, ancient humans, and even all intelligent life in the galaxy.

Not only these, the world of "Halo" also has Zerg that feed on intelligent life, raging like a flood, and are almost impossible to effectively eradicate through conventional means——

Flood.
