Chapter 179 Open the door! Free trade and integration into the power grid! Choose one!

Leon looked at the auto-save function on the system panel and couldn't help but think of Omega in "Edge of Tomorrow".

The alien creature that looks like a giant sea anemone has a reset mechanism similar to the reversal of time.

When a single mimic alien creature named "Alpha" dies, it triggers Omega's reset function.

And if Omega returns to the past, he can infinitely improve his battle plan and deployment against humans.

This is just like when a game player completes a game and automatically returns to the state before saving the game after death.

But Omega's time reset mechanism is obviously not as convenient as Leon's automatic save function.

Because Li Ang can freely choose the time to go back to the game!

If he wanted, he could even go back to the day when he first came to Night City and start building his giant company again.

Of course, there is no way Leon would do that.

I finally cleared the level with one life, and now I have to do it all over again. Who can bear this?
Immediately, Leon looked at the physical rewards, it seemed that his body had been systematically strengthened.

As for the specific strengthening part...

Li Ang felt his physical condition himself. Apart from feeling lighter and more energetic, there seemed to be no substantial changes.

He did not suddenly grow thicker bones and muscles like the Astartes warriors who had been transformed by gene seeds and turned into a three-meter-tall giant human.

He didn't grow three heads and six arms and become a super macho man with explosive fighting power.

Leon realized that his physical appearance was still the same as before, but in fact, judging from the information displayed on the system interface, his physical strength had reached the level of an ordinary Astartes warrior.

"The beggar version of the human emperor, he is also an emperor!"

Li Ang's attitude is very optimistic. If things continue to develop at this rate, the golden toilet will not be far away from him.

In addition to his incredible physique that far exceeds that of humans, Leon also gained immortality and the ability to sleep, two buffs that bring many benefits!

"Is this the reward for clearing a level?"

Li Ang was very surprised. Without any special transformation, he was able to obtain the double buffs of longevity and eternal energy, which was a great bonus for the dungeon. The Paradox players were ecstatic!
With these two bonuses, Leon's giant enterprise empire will always be on the road of progress. Only expedition! Expedition!
However, longevity does not mean immortality. Leon's physical strength is indeed much stronger than before.

But he still couldn't avoid physical damage, or magical damage from the temporarily non-existent cyberplane.

This means that Leon is not yet able to explode stars with one hand and travel across the galaxy like a Super Saiyan.

However, this little problem is actually not a big deal for a Paradox player like Li Ang who pursues efficiency and will not argue with his opponent if he can kill instantly.

The right way is to use more people against fewer and rely on absolute technological (plug-in) strength to crush and win.

Nowadays, if a group fight is possible, who would want to foolishly fight the enemy one-on-one?

Super Saiyan? How many Burning Heavenly Divine Warships does he have? Can he withstand the power of the celestial meteorite?

"Now that things have come to this, let's draw a prize first." Li Ang was in a good mood.

When preparing to check the last reward upgrade point, Li Ang planned to use up the remaining lottery opportunities first. Anyway, there was no value in making ten consecutive draws, so it would be a waste not to use it.

Soon, as the prize pool roulette wheel turned, the drawn rewards emerged one by one.

As Li Ang expected, the rewards this time were nothing good. Most of them were repeated items, and the repeated items would be automatically converted into enterprise coins.

Li Ang could understand such a lottery result. After all, he had basically won most of the low-level small items like this.

There are only a very small number of items from the heavens left that have not been drawn out.

Fortunately, Le Ang did not get nothing completely. In the level 4 lottery pool, he still got a technology point that was somewhat useful.

[Nexus-9 Replicant (Codename K) · Blade Runner World · Tyrell Corporation]

That’s right, the item Leon drew this time was K, the protagonist of Blade Runner, a combat-type bionic man who looked like Ryan Gosling.

"Wow! With just a tremble of his hand, he actually pulled out Commander Gao!"

Leon was a little surprised by this reward, because the Nexus-9 replicant can be regarded as the culmination of Tyrael's products.

Blade Runner K is a Nexus-9 replicant. His version of the product has reached the highest level of technology and is basically indistinguishable from a real person.

This model of replicant is covered with genetically engineered humanoid muscles, programmed personality settings, and basic emotional thoughts built in.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a real human being. After all, Rachel, the Nexus-7 replicant in Blade Runner, is almost identical to a real person.

They can even combine with humans to produce offspring!
As a Nexus-9 clone, there is no reason why K should be inferior to Rachel, who is two models older than him.

"This thing...is better than the cloning technology in Resident Evil!"

Li Ang immediately realized the significance of this technology to LA Company.

Human cloning technology is good, but it is too troublesome to develop an embryo to maturity and then completely replicate an adult human with labor value.

Although LA can control the time required to produce clones to within one to two weeks, the cost and time required for this technology are still not low.

Cloning technology is more suitable for personal customization rather than assembly line production.

But Tyrell's cloning technology essentially treats bionic humans as products on an assembly line, with noses, eyes, and organs all being able to be manufactured in combination.

Thought programs and emotional modules can all be customized, and the Nexus series replicants can also be set with a limited lifespan.

Once the time comes, these clones will die immediately and be sent back to the factory to begin reincarnation.

What is this? This is the perfect tool material!
LA Company is about to start an era of interstellar colonization, and whether it is mining, farming, or construction, it cannot do without a large amount of labor.

The emergence of this technology means that from now on, LA companies will no longer have to worry about free labor, and the efficiency of construction projects will be greatly improved!
"It would be nice if one day I could extract the ideological stamp from the Three-Body Problem." Li Ang shook his head and smiled.

These clones produced in assembly line factories are only suitable for construction and mining, but not for mass-producing legion soldiers.

Because these clones will also develop their own independent thoughts, and they will regard themselves as real people, but they are indeed not human.

Just a humanoid product on the company's assembly line.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the company's legion soldiers, Leon can either rely on company regulations to constrain human mercenaries in the long term, or rely on AI to control the minds of clones.

As for the clones with unstable factors, Leon would naturally not incorporate them into the legion, so as to avoid being stabbed in the back by traitors.

Therefore, Leon planned to use the Nexus series of clones for construction and interstellar colonization.

For example, LA Corporation's most elite Iron Hands Astartes Legion is actually a super space warrior transformed by the quadruple technology of cloning + AI brainwashing technology + gene seeds + cyberprosthetics.

Under the control of AI, their loyalty to Leon and LA Company is unquestionable.

However, the AI ​​cultivated from the matrix cannot be assembled on a large scale for the time being.

Therefore, for the current LA company, the cost of producing an Astartes warrior is actually quite high. Leon can only produce a maximum of 5 Astartes soldiers.

This is already the maximum number of troops under extreme conditions.

If more Astartes warriors are released, the loyalty of these soldiers cannot be guaranteed because there will not be enough AI to brainwash them quickly.

In order to get an absolutely loyal soldier, one must either give him professional brainwashing education from an early age, or use tools to forcibly correct his thoughts.

No matter which method is adopted, the cost is quite high. The former requires a lot of training time, while the latter requires expensive AI!

The brainwashing tool that LA companies currently have is AI control!

However, the quality and quantity of AI vary greatly. The AI ​​captured from outside the black wall is completely useless. Only customized AI automatically produced by the matrix server can be used.

If Leon could extract the Thought Stamp from the Three-Body Problem, then the problem would be solved. He could directly use the Thought Stamp to replace AI brainwashing control!

In this way, a group of absolutely loyal Astartes warriors can be reproduced on a large scale.

"I'm lucky. This thing is still useful."

Li Ang was quite satisfied with the Nexus-9 clone technology he had drawn. After receiving the items from the roulette interface, he finally set his sights on the last reward:
Upgrade points!!

Judging from the image displayed on the system interface, the upgrade point seems to be just an ordinary small light dot, which seems a bit mediocre compared to the previous rewards.

"Upgrade points... this thing can't be a free bonus point for some technology!"

Li Ang thought of several technology points he had, all of which were upgradeable cheat codes.

Like the Matrix from The Matrix, or the perfect version of the gene seed from the Warhammer world, both of these plug-ins need to be upgraded to unlock more functions.

But if Li Ang wants to upgrade these plug-ins, he can consume corporate coins for the upgrade.

If the purpose of this upgrade point is to upgrade these two golden fingers, then it would seem a bit useless.

Soon, it was not until Li Ang carefully read the relevant introduction of "upgrade points" that he suddenly understood the true function of this item.

Upgrade points are indeed used to upgrade external cheat codes, but not to upgrade gene seeds or matrices, but to upgrade the entire system!

That's right!

The upgraded system will unlock more giant enterprise templates, more technology points, and even open up other worlds!

This is the most important item in the reward for clearing a level. "I thought the system had given me a big one, but I didn't expect it to be a big one!"

Li Ang's frown relaxed instantly.

When he thought about the system being upgraded and undergoing a qualitative change, he was so excited that even his breathing became a little rapid.

This is the real good stuff!!

The importance of the giant enterprise template that appeared in the system to Li Ang was self-evident.

The technological advantages of these giant companies are the key to enabling LA to take off and monopolize the world.

However, Li Ang's existing corporate currency resources can only be exchanged for some large enterprise templates with high repetition rates and relatively useless in the current system panel.

For example, the Titan Corporation in Call of Duty, the military products of this company are actually just so-so in terms of technology, and are about the same level as military technology.

There is something, but not much.

The Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil has virus technology that has similar infection and attack effects as the polymer leaf buds.

In addition, the virus-mutated monsters are nothing compared to hot weapons, and are even a bit useless to the point of being funny.

Unless the virus level in Resident Evil can reach the level of parasitic infection like the Flood in Halo Infinite, it will be an inefficient biological weapon.

However, the strength of biological weapons such as the Flood is a bit too strong. They can even infect AI artificial intelligence, including but not limited to machines and various forms of life.

With so many good examples before him, Leon naturally had no great interest in exchanging templates for giant companies such as Umbrella Corporation and Giant God Corporation.

This is also the real reason why he has not exchanged for a new giant enterprise template.

There is no way, these giant enterprise templates are really not enough for today's LA companies!
After all, the current LA company has the templates of two giant companies, Military Technology and Kangtao, so it is really not lacking in weapons and equipment, and military product technology.

It is completely sufficient for ordinary interstellar colonization, provided that one does not encounter alien species that are too difficult to deal with.

In addition, LA has the Vavilov Institute, whose technological strength is comparable to that of a giant company. Li Ang already has absolute control over energy, plant growth, and large collective neural networks.

Even if the enterprise coins were used to exchange for the IMC Interstellar Manufacturing Company in Titanfall, Leon still felt it was a bit of a waste.

After all, the jump engine technology of IMC StarCraft, Starship, Titan, and LA is almost the same as that of IMC, or even stronger than that of IMC.

Under this dilemma, the upgrade points of Zhutian Technology can be used to upgrade the system and unlock more giant enterprise templates. Their importance to Le Ang is self-evident!

"It would be great if we could unlock the technology points in the stars and build a truly global giant company. This would be better than exchanging giant company templates one by one."

Le Ang couldn't help but think to himself, if only he could get some slightly more powerful offensive weapons or constructive technology points from the stars.

That would definitely be a qualitative leap for humans in the cyber world!

Of course, Leon did not expect that he could obtain the technology in the stars so quickly and build a huge global corporate empire.

At worst, he can just operate it slowly. Now he has endless lives, so he doesn't have to worry about not living to see that day!
The victory for the hardworking Paradox players will come one day!

Thinking of this, Li Ang clicked on the system panel and began to use upgrade points to upgrade the system.

The moment the upgrade took effect, the entire system panel suddenly glowed with a strong white light that was enough to blind a 24K titanium alloy dog's eyes.

Li Ang almost subconsciously shouted: "Fuck! Original!"

The strong white light during the system upgrade was almost the same as the interface when Genshin Impact was started. Fortunately, the upgrade process did not last long and the system completed the update.

Under normal circumstances, the significance of system upgrades should be not much different from the world upgrades in Genshin Impact.

The changes brought about by the system upgrade are likely to increase the difficulty of tasks, make it more difficult to kill monsters, and make the rewards richer.

You might even have to fight a boss and look for materials!

With this series of questions in mind, Li Ang entered the system interface again.

In an instant, what came into Li Ang's sight was a wall of various honors and achievements.

The most unique and exclusive honor achievement is that the Cyberpunk 2077 world has achieved % monopoly!

Obviously, this means that Leon has conquered the first world of the heavens and opened a wall of glory for the world of the heavens.

Every time Le Ang's giant company conquers a world, a different badge of honor will appear on this wall to show Le Ang's achievements.

I don’t know if it’s useful or not, but at least the lineup is full!
[The world of the heavens is now open: Avatar! 】

As the system prompt sounded, a holographic star map encompassing the universe instantly appeared in front of Leon.

The coordinate system of Pandora, which is 4.37 light-years away from the solar system, is clearly marked.

Obviously, this is the second world that Leon is going to conquer next!
"The planet Pandora in Avatar is actually 4.37 light years away from Earth in the cyberpunk world view?!"

Leon was very surprised by the coordinate system that appeared on the star map, because according to the guidance drawn by the system, the planet Pandora, where the Na'vi natives live, is 4.37 light-years away from the earth!
This means that LA's interstellar fleet does not need to cross parallel universes, but only needs to make a space jump to reach the planet Pandora.

In addition, the RDA Energy Company, a giant human enterprise that was supposed to exist in the Avatar worldview, has now been replaced by Leon's LA Company and has become the big villain!
"Oh my goodness! I am actually the villain!"

When he thought about his next goal, which was to drive a giant interstellar ship to destroy a small native, Li Ang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This is not a complete dimensionality reduction attack!

Although opening champagne at halftime is not a good habit, the LA company is now a giant enterprise with the Infinity starship, the Astartes warrior corps, and various military weapons.

If we can still lose in a situation like this with a dragon riding on our face, it is simply a shame for humanity!
However, in the Avatar worldview, RDA Energy, a giant company with interstellar colonization technology capabilities, not only failed to conquer Pandora.

Instead, he was hung up and beaten by the local Na'vi natives and the rapist. This is simply a great humiliation for humanity.

If it were Li Ang, those Na'vi natives would be pulled over to be used as power generation materials in a minute, and all of them would be connected to the power grid to serve as generators for the matrix!

"This world is arranged with great meaning!"

Li Ang seemed to be thinking about something, he was pondering this arrangement of the system.

With LA's current technological strength, it is not difficult to conquer Pandora.

But this planet is like newly loaded information material, appearing in Leon's current cosmic worldview, rather than appearing in other parallel universes.

It seems like the system deliberately provided Leon with novice guidance.

He must first deal with the alien species in this world before he can go to other worlds and start a more extensive fleet expedition!
Yes, this system understands human nature and the principle of gradual progress. You can kill monsters slowly and develop slowly.

"This arrangement is okay, and not too abrupt."

Li Ang thought of Avatar's human worldview, which is actually similar to the background of cyberpunk.

The humans on that Earth also live a cyberpunk-style life with high technology and low living standards.

If the giant companies in Cyberpunk 2077 intend to expand into outer space, they may also start colonization plans on other planets like RDA Energy.

That's why Leon felt that this arrangement was acceptable and would not cause the cyber plane to collapse or become incompatible.

"I wonder if the 'Engineer' aliens from Prometheus will appear again."

Li Ang suddenly had another strange idea and thought of this possibility.

He knew that the stories of the Blade Runner and Alien series actually shared the same cosmic worldview.

The only difference is that Blade Runner mainly tells stories on Earth, while Alien focuses on outer space.

If this is the case, perhaps Leon will really have a chance to meet the Creator Engineer in Alien Prometheus and go head-to-head with this high-level alien!

Thinking of the above possibilities, Li Ang also calmly accepted this arrangement.

Immediately, Li Ang took a closer look at the upgraded system. As expected, the newly upgraded system brought him more surprises than that!
[The host's giant corporate power will no longer be limited to the company's business monopoly, and can independently colonize the world, occupy interstellar territories, and launch external military strikes! ]

[Any alien world, planet, interstellar region, universe that has been successfully occupied and colonized, as well as any successful military operations, can earn corresponding enterprise coins. ]

[Land resources that are under the control of LA Company and have value will be considered as production areas and can automatically produce a certain amount of corporate coins. ]

[Note: The amount of enterprise currency output depends on the richness of the land resources and potential! ]

……

"This... is this a direct switch from the creepy development mode to the StarCraft mode?!"

Li Ang was pleasantly surprised by the new gameplay mode displayed by the upgraded system.

This upgrade point is clearly a new downloadable DLC!
In the past, in order to earn more corporate coins, Leon had to flatter and deal with bitches like Miles.

Play the inefficient game of forming alliances with other company managers.

Now, Li Ang can completely ignore the useless social etiquette, and others will just act according to his will.

In the crisp and simple life and death of the universe, destruction and survival are only a thought away!
And Li Ang has absolute confidence in leading LA to build a huge corporate empire and live up to the reputation of Paradox players!

For those alien bastards who dare to disobey, we will first arrange a set of plasma beam attacks from star destroyers, and then send out bombers to plow the land in turns to purify the gas polluted by the alien bastards.

In the vast world of the heavens, Leon will treat all living beings equally!
The forehand message is "Open the door! Free trade!", and the backhand message is "Connect to the power grid", forcing the other party to choose one of the two. The main theme is a humane approach of using courtesy before force!
