Chapter 190 Return! Ideal City Completed! Confidentiality Agreement!
‘Boss, this is the suspended stone ring you want. The craftsmen in the company have already made it for you. ’
At this time, an Astartes warrior guard came over and presented an exquisite ring to Li Ang in a respectful manner.
This ring is an ornament made from suspended stone material on Pandora. Li Ang plans to use it as a personal souvenir of this colonial journey.
After taking the levitating stone ring, Li Ang chuckled vaguely.
On this Pandora planet, perhaps the most valuable resource is this suspended stone with normal temperature superconducting properties.
In addition to being able to achieve magnetic levitation, normal temperature superconducting materials can also significantly reduce energy losses caused during power transmission.
The magical properties of this material can greatly improve the efficiency of power transmission.
In the natural world, natural room-temperature superconducting materials like levitation stone are rare.
Even the existing polymer materials of LA Company must be synthesized through a series of complex chemical substances before they can be used.
Of course, the main role of the suspended stone resources is still to maintain the ideal city.
As for room-temperature superconducting materials, LA Company already has polymer materials that are more suitable and cheaper to produce, and there is no need for suspension stones at all.
‘Now that you’re here, why not take some rest on this planet and relax. ’
Looking at the psychedelic rainforest where blue and purple intertwined on Pandora, Li Ang decided to take a brief long vacation on Pandora for the time being.
Anyway, it will take six or seven years for Ideal City to be completed. It is better to take advantage of this gap and let the Infinity fleet group under my command practice in the Pandora galaxy.
Let these spirited guys blow up stars, collect resources from other planets, or practice starship array attack exercises.
By the way, let the company's engineers and scientific research members carefully study the technological points left by the alien civilization in the "Eva" database.
And study the genes of various creatures on Pandora.
Thinking of this, Li Ang completely let go of his thoughts and devoted all his thoughts to appreciating the strange scenery in front of him.
It’s been a long day of fighting, and it’s time to take a good rest for a few years.
…
…
Seven years later.
At noon on the sunny side of Pandora, it is located in the north and east direction of the rain forest in Area 1268, in the dense forest about 60 kilometers away.
V, who had completed the last mission instruction, couldn't help but turn around and take a look at this beautiful and deadly alien world.
Pandora has magnificent and breathtaking scenery, but unfortunately it is not suitable for long-term human habitation, so it can only be visited occasionally for a few vacations.
"V, is it possible that you have fallen in love with that Na'vi alien girl named Neytiri? Damn...don't make such a joke with me."
"You two are reproductively isolated!"
Jack Wills said jokingly V.
In the past few years, engineers and soldiers of LA Company have expressed their intention to leave Pandora and return home.
The Na'vi people here unexpectedly established "friendly" diplomatic relations with humans.
Regardless of whether this bizarre way of establishing diplomatic relations of "killing people first and setting fire to them, then shaking hands and making peace with the other party" implies coercion, the Na'vi people have to accept it even if they don't accept it.
It is much better to serve these human masters honestly for a few years than to have them point guns at your head all the time.
But during this period, some Na'vi indigenous people actually established a friendship with humans.
Such as V and Neytiri.
Perhaps it was because of V's personal charm with full social attributes that even the alien chick was able to give up her past resentment towards him and sincerely accept this frank human warrior.
Under the leadership of Neytini, V has seen the magnificent scenery of Pandora in the past few years.
This was a real eye-opener for V, who had never traveled far and had little experience.
There are so many magnificent civilizations in the vast universe, how could he only care about this small world like the earth?
"Jack, if Neytiri finds out about your joke, she will shoot you in the ass with a bow and arrow."
V shook his head and smiled. He had no intention of flirting with aliens, but he was really reluctant to leave the magnificent Pandora.
After all, there is no telling when we will see such a beautiful natural planet again.
Speaking of which, V, who was born a wanderer, actually yearns for a more natural planetary world.
The ideal city is good, but it is too cold.
If given the choice, V would prefer to live in a natural scenic area.
"Haha! I know you are actually reluctant to part with Pandora Star. In fact, I feel the same way as you."
Jack smiled broadly and said, as V's good brother, how could he still not understand what V was thinking in his heart?
"Don't worry, V. There will be many other alien worlds waiting for us to conquer in the future. By then, we might even be able to share a natural planet!"
"At that time, you can just wander around and have fun, and no one will care about you."
Jack smiled like a silly son of a landlord, but his fantasy was for the future LA Company, a global giant encompassing the universe and the world.
It is really not difficult for each Astartes warrior to be allocated a natural alien planet with beautiful scenery.
As a veteran employee of the company, V might even be assigned a resource area of a galaxy!
Everyone wants to play Landlord, and everyone wants to be a landlord.
Including Jack Wells.
But V is far from thinking about this now. He just wants to continue to fight for the company and strive for the honor of the legion.
As for the enjoyment after retirement, he can't consider it for the time being.
"Let's go, it's time for us to return home!"
V nodded and chuckled. No matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it is not the home of mankind after all.
Then, V resolutely turned around and walked into the cabin of the Skyhawk shuttle.
On the surface of Pandora, countless Na'vi natives cried with joy, waving goodbye to these sky people who were about to leave.
They are not reluctant to leave these human warriors, but they are glad that these human uncles have finally left!
If they don't leave, then it's time for them to "go".
"Look! This is the influence of our company."
Jack couldn't help but smile when he saw the Na'vi people on the ground chasing the shuttle and waving goodbye to them frantically.
After slapping these Na'vi people, in the end, they still have to treat them like masters. Whoever comes here will be happy.
"The garrison soldiers who stayed to mine are lucky. I have seen their working environment. They don't look like a miserable mining team."
"It's clearly the emperor of Pandora!"
Jack cursed.
V shook his head and smiled, and didn't say anything more.
War is just a means to serve politics. Since Leon's political goal has been achieved, it is reasonable to stop the war.
As for whether the weak Na'vi natives are convinced or hate human soldiers, who cares?
Even if the Na'vi chief Etucon died, no one dared to say anything.
Want revenge? Then they will only lose more people.
The living die for the dead. This is an extremely stupid behavior in the value system of any interstellar civilization.
Humans only left a small number of soldiers to mine in a specific area. This is the best result for the Na'vi.
They naturally have to worship these humans as masters.
Otherwise, what awaits them is the bombardment of the Infinity ship!
What's more, with the current strength of LA Company, it can completely drain all the potential and resources of this planet.
Soon, with the rapid launch of the Skyhawk shuttle, V gradually moved away from the ground of Pandora.
In a blink of an eye, V and his group caught up with the Infinity starship. It was not until the shuttle flew back to the cabin of the starship that the last Infinity ship rose to Pandora's low-Earth orbit.
When this giant ship was included in the array of the starship, it meant that the human ground forces had all been assembled and they were about to return to the ideal city!
At this moment, in the main command room of the Infinity flagship, V, escorted by Lucy, Song Zhaomei, Otto, Morgan and others, came to the central console again.
"Xiao Song, have V and the others returned?"
Leon asked.
"They have arrived. Our array can start space jump at any time and return to Ideal City!"
Song Zhaomei responded truthfully.
Ever since Leon said that he would abandon Pandora and leave only a very small number of mining troops to return to the solar system.
There have been some different voices among the senior executives of LA Company, especially the executives of the Arasaka department, who have expressed strong opposition.
But fortunately, Lucy, Morgan and others from LA Company all stood firmly on Leon's side.
However, facing the objections of the executives of other company departments, it would be useless for them to express opposition.
After all, Leon is the real controller of the giant company.
The subordinates only have the right to propose, but the final decision is in Leon's hands.
In fact, in many cases, the excellent strategic thinking of the helmsman of the giant company will always be questioned by some short-sighted people.
At this critical moment, Leon must learn to ignore these opposing voices, and must not doubt or give up the overall situation he has set because of other people's doubts and confusion.
The superior must not only be good at planning, but also need to make decisions!
"Very good, then start returning."
Leon nodded and gave an order.
Just last month, he had received a message from the transcendental AI Europa.
Today, the ideal city project has been completed, and all urban functions can be fully activated, officially starting a large-scale production process.
If Leon returns to the solar system now, he can just live comfortably in his new home.
"Yes!"
As Leon's order was officially issued, the starship array composed of 200 Infinity giant ships all started the Macedonian engine synchronously.
When the jump channel opened its huge mouth again, the 200 starships disappeared in the Pandora galaxy in an instant, just like when they came, without leaving any trace.
...
...
Three months later.
Universal City, Ideal City!
"Beep...!"
A piercing and noisy alarm clock woke up David Martinez who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom.
After waking up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the curtains to the left and right, allowing the warm and comfortable sunlight to fall on him.
This sleep may be his last long sleep as an ordinary human warrior.
Because in the next period of time, David will go to the company's giant medical center to undergo the sixth phase of Astartes Warrior transformation surgery, ganglion organ implantation!
The so-called ganglion surgery is to transplant a micro-organ into the warrior's brain, and the organ will affect the warrior's sleep rhythm.
In this way, when the warrior feels sleepy, different areas of the brain can take turns to rest.
This will allow the Astartes warriors to always remain energetic, and they will no longer need to rely on long-term sleep to replenish their energy.
After accepting this organ transformation, David will also become a non-stop fighting machine!
"Uh! I'm about to say goodbye to sleep completely. I'm not used to it when I think about it."
David looked at the clothes thrown everywhere on the wooden floor and the products with the "LA" logo printed everywhere, and he was a little confused for a while.
He knew that his most important schedule today was to go to the company's medical center for surgery.
But it was still early, and David didn't need to rush over.
"Huh!"
David let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at the flying car flying back and forth outside the window, shuttling quickly in the air along the suspended track, and couldn't help but feel happy about his upcoming promotion.
Among the soldiers of the "Astartes" Legion, not all of them are able and qualified to undergo organ transplant surgery.
Ordinary-level Astartes warriors can only undergo 1-3 surgical transformations, which means they are stronger and bigger than ordinary human soldiers.
But they are still weak in essence.
Because they do not have functional organs that can bring about qualitative changes, and these key transformations are the important factors that really widen the gap between Astartes warriors.
And if they want to become stronger and get more enhanced surgical transformations, they must establish more merits and achievements for the LA company.
This time, David Martinez, who is about to be promoted to the leader of the Astartes advance team, got the opportunity to undergo "ganglion" surgery.
Once this key transformation operation is completed, David Martinez will have more opportunities to complete company tasks from now on.
And then achieve a step-by-step promotion in his personal career!
"Love you, mom. I'll work hard."
David picked up a photo frame placed on the bedside table. After seeing the intimate photo of himself and his mother Gloria, he smiled sincerely.
As a member of the most outstanding army of a giant company, my mother must be proud of herself now.
After a while.
David cleaned up his face, left the bedroom, and came to the living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and open balconies.
He first opened the window to let fresh air flow into the house, and let the bright and gorgeous neon city circle appear in front of him.
The view outside the window is enough to judge that this is a single apartment on the upper floors of a skyscraper.
Immediately, David turned on the holographic TV and tuned to a news program called "Global Daily".
"Good morning, Ideal City, I am your old friend Stanley. Now let's witness the recent news on the list first!"
At this moment, the holographic TV was playing the scene in the news live broadcast room, and Stanley, who was dressed in a suit, finished his opening remarks.
The director also began to switch the content.
Then the screen went dark, but soon a new picture appeared. It was a giant building located in the low-Earth orbit of Ideal City - the Science Hub!
"The great giant enterprise will protect the glory of the scientific research world, and the iron wings of the Infinity Fleet will also protect every law-abiding citizen."
"The defense circle around Ideal City has begun to be established with the special approval of the highest giant enterprise executive, the Interstellar Marshal."
"Subsequent legions will set out from the capital Night City and station in the Science Hub in low-Earth orbit in turn to ensure that the production and scientific research planning of the giant enterprise are not affected!"
"..."
When he said this, Stanley deliberately paused, and the director took advantage of the gap to switch to the screen of the interview of Ott Cunningham, the network director of LA Company.
And in the background of this interview, there is also a striking "LA" logo.
At this time, David, who was on time, had changed into a standard dark suit uniform, with distinctive "LA" metal buttons on the collar and cuffs.
When he put on his holographic watch, a string of detailed identity content emerged.
[Name: David Martinez
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Position: Member of the advance team of the "Iron Hands" Astartes. ]
Ding Dong——!
Just then, the doorbell rang at the door of David's house.
When he opened the door, he saw a group of fully armed Astartes warriors who responded to him indifferently:
"David Martinez, I am following the instructions of the regiment to take you to the company's medical center for surgical transformation. Now please follow us."
After saying that, the leading Astartes warrior turned around and walked towards the elevator door without caring whether David had caught up.
David, who had almost finished packing, didn't care about anything else and immediately followed the soldiers quickly.
After a while, David and the group of Astartes warriors who got off the elevator door walked straight into a Skyhawk shuttle parked outside the building.
"Ha! The battle group headquarters is really interesting. They actually sent someone to help me undergo surgical transformation. The queue is absolutely full."
David tried to liven up the cold and awkward cabin atmosphere.
But the response that greeted him was collective silence.
Seeing the sullen faces of his colleagues and their indifferent reactions to him, David deeply realized what it means to "exchange extroversion once for a lifetime of introversion."
Seeing that this group of people ignored him, David had no choice but to turn his slightly embarrassed gaze to the urban area outside and watch the buildings below alone.
It has to be said that the ideal city after completion is simply the favorite city for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
The streets are neatly planned like a chessboard, clearly marking the functions and functions of each area.
Among the skyscrapers, only the LA headquarters complex of the global giant in the city center is the most eye-catching super landmark building.
From a distance, the LA corporate headquarters looks a bit like a cyberpunk version of the Hive.
But unlike the dirty, chaotic, and filthy hive, the LA company headquarters is like a majestic, clean and tidy metal pyramid.
On the other side, on the maglev track with heavy traffic, all kinds of trendy and handsome luxury floating cars speed by.
Pedestrians on the ground, dressed in neat company formalwear, hurried to their respective posts.
After all, this is Night City, the capital of the ideal city. Ordinary people who can work here will not be in a leisurely and lazy state.
Although they are not so busy that they take drugs and cause internal bleeding, they go to work with adrenaline and caffeine every day.
But busyness and orderliness are the real rhythm of Night City.
On the other side, on the main roads of the city, the carefully calculated traffic network shows efficient and convenient functionality.
Various sky trains and floating cars flew by in an orderly manner, freely shuttling between high-rise buildings without any collision.
The entrances and exits of the subway station are also evenly distributed on the main roads.
The sidewalks and intersections on the ground, including traffic signs, all incorporate a large amount of AI intelligence and holographic technology to arrange vehicles and pedestrians in an orderly manner.
‘This is the ideal city! ’
David Martinez sighed sincerely in his heart.
Buzz—!
As the roaring engine of the Skyhawk shuttle gradually died down, David was also brought into the giant medical center in Little Chinatown by the soldiers.
There, there are already professional medical bionics personnel to receive his surgical transformation throughout the process.
"Welcome, David Martinez."
The person who spoke was an N9 model android, who was the accompanying nurse responsible for receiving David.
"After the organ surgery is completed, your identity information in the Iron Hands Chapter will also be modified and refreshed."
"At that time, you can check your new status and your salary and benefits after the upgrade."
The nurse's warm welcome made David feel at home.
"Thank you." David nodded and smiled politely at the nurse.
[The physical condition of the operator has been tested and there is no abnormality. Surgical modification can be carried out. 】
After the nurse's instrument scan is complete, David will sit in a private waiting room, waiting for the reconstructive surgery in half an hour.
While David was patiently waiting for the operation to begin, the Astartes warrior who accompanied him took out a special device.
When the device was opened, the transcendent AI Europa appeared in front of him through the holographic screen.
Before David's face showed a look of astonishment, AI Europa had already begun its explanation:
[David Martinez, please read the following confidentiality agreement terms carefully. If you have any questions, please consult me or contact your boss, Mr. Jack Wills. 】
[Now I want to remind you that the surgical modification projects you will undergo today include ganglion, stomach preset, genetic detection nerve, and third lung! 】
[After signing the following agreement, you will officially join the "Iron Hands" Legion Ace Advance Team and become a member of it. 】
[Participate in the battle plan of the heavens and other worlds! 】
‘Confidentiality agreement, pre-implantation stomach, reconnaissance nerves, third lung, ace advance team...an alien combat plan, it’s all the same! ’
After hearing the confusing news, David's eyes revealed confusion and confusion, and he felt that his mind was a little messed up.
"Uh! Wait, isn't this right...!"
David clearly remembered that he was here to undergo surgical transformation of the "ganglion", but why so many organ transplants suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The ninth stage of organ surgery requires the position of deputy captain of the advance team!
It's totally unreasonable for me to be the team leader.
Could it be that...an officer with the same name as him accidentally arranged the wrong surgical transformation schedule with him?
"Did you get the wrong surgery target? I'm here to transplant the ganglion today."
David didn't want to take advantage of this for no reason. He knew that there was no such thing as pie in the sky.
If this replaces someone else's transformation quota, he might have to go to the court of the war group!
Seeing that David seemed ignorant of his situation, the transcendent AI Europa patiently explained to him the origin of everything.
Soon, David realized that he had really got the quota for this multiple organ transformation surgery.
And this quota was fought for him by his boss Jack Wells!
Of course, David could not get the honor of this surgical transformation for nothing.
Next, he will become a member of the Astartes Ace Vanguard and join the most dangerous All Heavens and Aliens Combat Force.
‘All Heavens and Aliens Combat Force…! ’
David suddenly felt that his blood was about to boil. He didn’t expect such a good thing to fall on his head.
Although he didn’t know what task All Heavens and Aliens Combat referred to, he went from the sixth surgical transformation to the ninth transformation in an instant.
This is definitely the best opportunity for David to improve in his life, and he must grasp it firmly!
“I am willing to join the Ace Vanguard!”
David couldn’t wait to speak.
After seeing that David was ready, AI Europa continued to tell him:
[David, once you sign this confidentiality agreement, you will be closely monitored by the company for the rest of your life. 】
【You must also strictly implement the contents of the regulations, and you will bear all the consequences of the leak! 】
There are always corresponding costs behind good things, but David, who has long been prepared for progress, only wants to sign the agreement immediately and start the transformation operation.
"I understand, I am willing to sign the agreement!"
David still responded impatiently.
【No, you must carefully read the contents of the regulations before signing your name. This is the company's rules. 】
Europa knew that David was in a hurry, but he didn't have to worry for the time being. He read the words on the agreement clearly first, and then it would not be too late to sign.
LA Company never forces anyone to die for the company. It only retains the most unobstructed channel for progress for everyone who desires progress to work hard.
If you work hard, you will be rewarded.
Everyone can get everything they want in the law of "equivalent exchange".
This is LA Company, this is the first value of the world's giant company.
