Chapter 191: Phase ! Megastructure! Science Hub!

"Uh! All right then."

David Martinez was actually already quite familiar with the process of signing a confidentiality agreement.

After all, he had signed a confidentiality document long before he joined the Astartes Chapter.

The terms and conditions in most confidentiality agreement documents are actually pretty much the same. They just require the signatories to keep their mouths shut and be absolutely loyal to the organization.

This is absolutely no problem for David!

Immediately, under the urging of AI Europa, David carefully reviewed the relevant terms of the confidentiality agreement.

Sure enough, as David's eyes moved down and he saw the contents of the agreement clearly, his brows began to frown slightly.

Because the terms and conditions in this agreement are quite strange, and the penalties for violations all start at the maximum penalty of "death", with no room for any buffer!
Obviously, this document is more like a contract of sale signed with the company than a high-level confidentiality agreement.

[Article 7: Before heading to the other side of the universe, you must apply to your immediate superior in advance. Before and after your application is approved, you must not mention this matter to anyone!
If any abnormal situation is noticed during the operation, it must be reported to the company immediately. No facts must be concealed and no secrets must be leaked to the outside.

Violators will die! 】

"Such strict regulations... This should be the company's highest level of confidentiality agreement!"

David exclaimed inwardly, and he began to think carefully about whether he should sign this extremely dangerous confidentiality agreement.

There are so many regulations and rules, and the penalty for each one is the most severe punishment: “death”!
Even the trial process of the military court was ignored, which shows that the company has the direct right to execute the Astartes warriors who signed this agreement.

[David, if you have any doubts or questions, you can raise them now and I can give you a clear answer.]

[Of course, you have the right to consider and decide on your own, but the time limit is limited to 10 minutes. If you fail to sign the agreement within the time limit, it will be deemed that you have automatically given up the plan. ]

Seeing David's hesitation, AI Europa seemed to have expected it, and it patiently provided him with friendly consulting services throughout the process.

"Yes...I will think about it carefully."

David nodded solemnly, but in fact he already had the definite answer in his heart.

As a member of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Chapter, David wants to obtain organ transformation resources that other warriors do not have and become a more powerful space warrior.

Then his best choice is to join the core combat group of LA company.

And joining the Ace Advance Team is David's chance!
In addition, once David becomes a member of the Ace Advance Team, his staff salary will also increase.

As a family member of a Star Warrior, Ms. Gloria Martinez will also receive various generous benefits from the company and have the honorary title of a warrior family.

After a brief ideological struggle, David was actually more inclined to sign the agreement and join the Ace Advance Team.

This is not only because he can get a better future, but also because David himself is an outstanding graduate of LA Company and Arasaka Joint Academy.

While studying at the college, David received many scholarships from the company as a poor student.

Without this scholarship, it would have been difficult for David to graduate from college.

Therefore, before David graduated and officially joined the Astartes Legion, he already had a certain degree of loyalty to the LA Company.

David hesitated for only a moment about this hard-earned opportunity, and immediately signed his name on the holographic screen.

【David Martinez! 】

After making sure that David had signed the confidentiality agreement, the Transcendental AI Europa opened up more archival materials for him and explained to him the situation of the alien forces in the heavens.

【Welcome to join the real world giant, Mr. David Martinez. 】

……

……

Ideal City, in low-Earth orbit, the Infinity flagship!
Ever since Leon left Pandora and returned to the solar system, he has not had a few days to spend leisurely in the Ideal City.

It's not that he doesn't like his new home after it's built, but that he really doesn't have the time to enjoy a relaxing life on the ground.

As the CEO of a giant company, Li Ang no longer needs to run around and attend meetings and speak every day like he did before.

But the number of issues left for him to decide is increasing, and every choice that requires making is crucial to the development of the giant company.

After all, Leon is already the supreme leader of human civilization, and his every word and action concerns the future of mankind!
"This trip to Pandora is not an easy one!"

Li Ang sighed in his heart.

After completing the colonization mission of Pandora, the system has marked it as the production area of ​​LA Company, and the area can automatically produce the corresponding number of corporate coins.

From a strategic perspective, Pandora has now been incorporated as a resource area of ​​LA Company.

Everything is considered to be a perfect success.

However, there were many reversals during the colonial process.

Before leading the Infinity Fleet to officially set off, Leon's expectations were almost the same as everyone else's.

That is to use the company's giant ships and guns to forcibly blast open Pandora and engage in free trade with the Na'vi indigenous people.

Exchange junk food like Coke and French fries for their precious suspended stone resources.

But as the mystery of "Eva" on Pandora was gradually revealed, Leon realized how complicated this colonization mission was!

If he had not been patient enough and dug deep into the secrets under the lake, the human army would have fallen into the counterattack of "Eva" Laoliu.

Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided at this moment, and Li Ang has also completed his first mission of conquering another world!
[The first phase of the Universal Giant Enterprise's Ideal City has been completed. 】

【The second phase of the Global Giant Enterprise's scientific hub has been completed. 】

【…】

At this time, the system's beep sounded suddenly.

"The three-month construction project of the science hub is finally completed!"

Li Ang used the central control console in the main command room to call up the holographic screen, which showed a panoramic view of the Science Hub, a giant building located in the low-Earth orbit of Ideal City.

At this moment, Li Ang's calm mood finally began to show some ups and downs.

This was the only good news that made him happy after he conquered Pandora.

After the construction of the ideal city is completed, the second phase of the world's giant enterprises can continue to be unlocked by consuming corporate coins.

If Leon wants to unlock this giant miracle building, he has to use up all the enterprise coins he has saved with great difficulty at once.

However, Li Ang did not hesitate for long, and immediately used all the corporate coins in his hand to unlock the second-stage global giant enterprise template.

Exchanged for a giant building - the Science Hub!
The so-called giant scientific hub building is actually an intelligent computing laboratory center that integrates advanced computer modules and the largest planetary database.

To put it simply, this thing is a super large scientific research center, mainly used to provide engineers and researchers with a good scientific research environment.

Up to now, all Gaoqishi people have successfully moved into the science hub and continue to contribute to the technological research and development of LA companies.

Moreover, this research center can also accommodate engineers or scientists from other civilized species to carry out technological research and development!

This means that Leon can even allow Trisolaran scientists to live in the science hub and work for LA.

'Science and technology are the primary productive forces!'

Li Ang looked at the scientific hub hanging on the track of Ideal City, and for a moment he thought to himself with deep emotion.

Only the unlocking and superposition of core technologies can promote the revolutionary evolution of production.

In order to protect this huge scientific hub, Li Ang dispatched the 12th Infinity Fleet to garrison near this giant building for a long time.

To avoid any other unexpected incidents.

Looking at the empty corporate currency value on the system panel, Li Ang suddenly felt a little amused.

Without enterprise coins, he would not be able to upgrade the matrix or the large collective neural network system, as well as the level of gene seeds in a short period of time.

However, Li Ang does not regret making this choice.

The reason why he would rather take the risk of difficulty in clearing the subsequent worlds and use up all the enterprise coins to quickly unlock the technology point is because Li Ang had already calculated this account!

The rewards from unlocking the scientific hub are far greater than continuing to save the enterprise coins to upgrade the matrix or the large collective neural network to facilitate the fight against subsequent alien bosses.

This huge scientific hub consists of two core facilities, namely the "Singularity Power Station" and the "R&D Auxiliary Wing".

The main function of this singularity power station is to provide scientific research points regularly, and these scientific research points will be exchanged for corresponding roulette draw times at a ratio of 1-100.

Approximately once every cycle, Li Ang will get a chance to draw from the 1th-level Zhutian Prize Pool Roulette.

When the cycle reaches 50 times and 100 times, he will get a chance to draw the 1th and 9th level roulette.

That’s right, the real use of this thing is to give Le Ang a chance to win a free prize in the roulette wheel of the Zhutian Prize Pool!
What the lottery of the heavens means is self-evident.

Ever since Li Ang completed the system upgrade to version 2.0, he could no longer get a large number of lottery opportunities by completing short and quick tasks as he did before.

If he wants to get more roulette draws, he can only get the corresponding number of rewards from the mission of conquering the heavens and other worlds.

For example, the "Avatar" Pandora mission that Leon conquered this time gave him the opportunity to make ten consecutive draws.

Obviously, as the difficulty of conquering the alien world increased, Leon's chances to draw a lottery began to decrease.

However, everything has two sides.

Although from the perspective of completing tasks and getting lottery draws, Li Ang's efficiency in unlocking the technology points of the world has naturally declined a lot.

But analyzing from another perspective, we can find that the lottery level Li Ang obtained is also much higher than before.

This means that the probability of him drawing good stuff will be much higher than before!

For example, after completing the colonization mission of Pandora, Leon was awarded 10 draws of level 8 or above.

This is like playing CF and opening 10 crystal boxes to get a silver killer machine gun, or opening 50 useless silver boxes to get a bunch of potions.

The Silver Killer can switch to a cannon to improve the gaming experience, but ordinary red and blue potions don't have much effect.

"I don't know what the highest level of this Zhutian prize pool is. From what I can see now, it seems to be the highest level 10..."

Li Ang looked at the system panel.

From the information he already knew, the levels of the Zhutian Prize Pool seemed to be from level 1 to level 10, with level 10 being the highest.

Of course, this is just Li Ang’s initial guess, and it does not rule out the possibility that there will be 11 levels or even higher levels of prize pools in the future.

With a prize pool of that level, any item pulled out would probably be top-notch god-level technology that could easily modify the laws of physics and reshape the laws of the universe.

However, for Li Ang now, he is still far from reaching that level.

The only prize pool level he can currently access is the level 10 prize pool.

Yes, at this moment, Li Ang already has one chance to draw from the Level 1 Zhutian Prize Pool!

This level 10 lottery opportunity was the reward he got after unlocking the giant building - the Science Hub.

Therefore, Leon felt that using all of his enterprise coins to exchange for such a building with a very high upper limit was a very worthwhile deal!
What's more, the Science Hub can also provide Le Ang with the opportunity to draw from the prize pools of all heavens, with the lowest prize pool being 8 levels and the highest being 10 levels.

For Li Ang, fake technological research and development means relying on humans to break through basic sciences and develop new technologies on their own.

Real technological research and development - rely on good luck, win a lot of gold from the roulette of the jackpot pool, and constantly use high-tech dimensionality reduction to attack alien civilizations!

In fact, just based on this point, it is worth it for Li Ang to sell everything he has to exchange for the scientific hub first.

However, the functionality of the scientific hub is far more than that. Its "R&D wing" also plays a huge role!
"Develop auxiliary wings. I remember that this thing seemed to be used for living. I wonder if the system will give it more functions."

Li Ang thought thoughtfully.

In his impression, the main function of the R&D auxiliary wing is to provide scientific research members with suitable accommodation and various types of laboratories.

This will facilitate scientists from various civilizations to conduct technological research and development in scientific hubs.

Of course, since the science hub is used for scientists to live in, the construction materials for the research and development auxiliary wings cannot be too bad.

This scientific hub, which consists of three R&D wings, can not only provide accommodation and laboratories for scientists, but also withstand extreme heat, low temperatures and high pressure environments.

Most importantly, avoid alien pathogens!
"If we can avoid the invasion of alien pathogens, can we also avoid the flood in Halo Infinite?"

With such doubts, Li Ang sent a query to the system, and the answer he got was affirmative!

Research and develop materials for auxiliary wings that can withstand the invasion of the Flood!
"Goodness... this thing can even stop the Flood in the Halo."

Li Ang suddenly felt that his decision was absolutely correct, and it was worthy of being a template for a global giant company.

You know, the Flood in the Halo world view is a super parasitic pathogen that is almost unsolvable.

It can not only infect AI, but even human warships and various complex man-made facilities can be infected and controlled.

This intensity is simply too abnormal!
Li Ang was afraid that he would encounter a sneak attack from such a troublesome thing during his conquest of the heavens and other worlds in the future.

With his current technological power, I am afraid that only the Matrix can subdue it, but when facing a large number of ferocious flood demons, the best way to deal with it is still one word:

run!
After all, the infection speed of this thing is too fast, unless you make sufficient preparations in advance and launch a fatal attack.

Otherwise, something bad could easily happen.

Now, LA's scientific hub is able to withstand the invasion of the Flood, which at least means that humans have a place to live that is safe from the horrible pathogens.

And scientists living in the science hub can enjoy the highest standards of personal safety protection!

Therefore, after comprehensively analyzing the above two functions, Li Ang believed that using up the enterprise coins and exchanging them for scientific hubs was the best option for him.

"By now, Ott Cunningham's press conference for all mankind should be almost over."

After clearly understanding the functions and roles of the Science Hub, Li Ang controlled the holographic screen and switched the channel to the press conference of a global giant on the ground.

Today's global giant enterprise is a human organization renamed from its predecessor LA Alliance!
LA Company is the leader of the giant enterprise, and other company departments such as Arasaka, Night Clan, Biotechnology, and Orbital Aviation are vassals of the giant enterprise.

Therefore, rather than saying that Global Giant is a combination of various companies in the LA Alliance, it is better to say that it is a more stylish new name for LA Company!

Looking at Ott Cunningham at this moment, who was facing all mankind with great enthusiasm and carefully explaining the significance of the construction of the scientific hub, Leon nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Now, he no longer needs to go out in person and show up in such a large and complicated venue, giving speeches with a dry mouth.

For a press conference like this one after the completion of a giant building, Le Ang can completely hand it over to his subordinates.

All he needs to do is sit behind the scenes and silently control the development direction of the giant company.

For example, during the seven years that Leon was on the expedition to Pandora, everything went smoothly in the ideal city represented by the Transcendental AI, without any unrest.

This is the importance of establishing good order and rules.

Human beings only need to work normally in a reasonable and complete social structure and order, just like the normal operation of program code, then this huge world machine can output work normally.
