Chapter 193 Stargate! MarkX Power Armor! Operation Netherworld!

After a while, the rapidly spinning roulette wheel of the Zhutian Prize Pool stopped, and the drawn rewards appeared clearly on the panel one by one.

[This roulette 11 consecutive draws have obtained:
Perfect Stargate (Level 10 Golden Legend·Stars)
Subaru-class RCS-class armored cruiser (Halo Covenant)
MarkX Power Armor (Warhammer 40K·Mechanical Archmagus [Belisarius Cawl])
Hercules SA-2 Samson (Avatar RDA Energy)

AV-14 Wasp (Halo UNSC Earth Federation)

Chrono Teleporter (Red Alert 3: Future Technology Company)

Magnetic Storm Coil (Red Alert, Soviet Union)
Type 25 Directed Energy Pistol (Halo Covenant)

Ivan T103 Tyrant (Resident Evil · Umbrella Corporation)...】

"RCS-class armored cruiser. My luck in the lottery was pretty good this time. I was able to win this cruiser."

As all the items in the Zhutian Prize Pool appeared on the system panel, Li Ang, who had been a little worried about not being able to draw the key items, finally felt relieved.

'Stable! '

Immediately, Leon turned his attention to the items on the panel, and the first reward that caught his eye was a cruiser from the Halo world.

The RCS-class armored cruiser is two kilometers long and one kilometer wide, which makes it seem smaller than the five-kilometer-long Infinity battleship.

However, this level of cruiser can still greatly enrich the fleet size and tactical coordination of the world giant.

After all, Leon can't always send out flagship-class ships to inspect megastructures or his own resource areas.

This kind of small and flexible ship can better perform the giant company's exploration and patrol missions in the interstellar space.

What's more, the RCS-class armored cruiser also comes with Type 31 Seraph fighters, and the internal propulsion engine is an antimatter engine device!
Yes, the same power propulsion system as the Trisolaran fleet.

"It's a pity that we can't remove the antimatter engine of this cruiser and put it in the scientific hub for research and development."

Li Ang shook his head and smiled helplessly. He only had the right to use and sell all the technology points and items he got for free from the prize pool.

However, there is no corresponding complete technology and knowledge theory system.

In other words, Leon can only get these awesome technology points and items from the system, but he cannot replicate them using the technology of this world.

Of course, except for some technological products with low technical content or military equipment.

For example, the military technology company template that Li Ang first exchanged, the Kangtao company template, technical weapons, kinetic energy, and intelligent weapons.

With the existing cyber world technology, it can be completely replicated, and LA company also has the corresponding production chain.

However, large collective neural network systems like the Matrix and Polymer, and the Infinity ship, cannot use existing technology to build a complete production chain on their own.

Therefore, although the scientific hub can quickly complete the iterative evolution of certain technological points, it is limited to the technology or theoretical knowledge that the giant companies have truly mastered.

And this is exactly the real reason why Leon wants to go to other worlds to plunder other technological points in order to make up for the technological deficiencies of his own giant company.

It is more efficient, convenient and hassle-free to rely on independent research to break through technological constraints and develop new technologies rather than to steal other people's technology for free!
'MarkX Power Armour, I finally pulled out this good thing. Without it, my Astartes Chapter always feels a little soulless.'

Looking at the power armor item on the system interface, Li Ang's mouth curled up wildly and he could no longer suppress it.

This is the power armor he really wants, this is the true complete form of an Astartes warrior!

MarkX power armor!
Prior to this, most of the power armor used by LA's Astartes warriors were modified from AST power armor and exoskeleton devices.

Although this kind of power armor, which has been transformed and integrated through multiple technologies, combines the offensive power of both, it is still very different from the power armor in Warhammer in terms of functionality.

Both in appearance and function, it is far from the power armor that truly suits an Astartes warrior.

After all, the power armor device in the Warhammer world view is full of black technology.

A complex and comprehensive defense system, dense physical defenses and sensor arrays.

A network of electrically driven fiber bundles allows Astartes warriors to communicate unimpeded and carry out a range of combat missions.

What's more, the power armor model that Leon drew this time is the culmination of the power armor in the Warhammer world view, the MarkX power armor!
This is a power armor device specially equipped for Primaris Space Marines. It adopts a modular design that supports different tactical adjustments of the power armor.

For example, the comprehensive tactical type, the heavy armor type that focuses on frontal combat, and the plunderer type for concealment and flexibility!

With this set of power armor that can freely adjust different functions, Leon can further subdivide the combat forces of the "Iron Hands" regiment into formations with different functions.

Conventional Astartes formations are equipped with tactical types, while those that need to engage in close combat or head-on confrontation with enemy units are equipped with heavy armor types.

If you need to complete a decapitation operation or launch a sneak attack from behind, you should use the Marauder type!

'Great! With this set of power armor, my Astartes Chapter is finally almost complete.'

Li Ang smiled with satisfaction, and then swept his eyes to the items in the sky behind him.

The Hercules SA-2 Samson transport aircraft from the "Avatar" world view and the AV-14 Wasp support aircraft in Halo can only be said to have them, which is better than nothing.

These are pretty good flying vehicles that can simply enrich LA's military products.

But it cannot bring about a qualitative leap in the military strength of the giant enterprise.

The function of the magnetic storm coil is actually limited to being an ordinary defensive military facility.

It is still somewhat useful when deployed in heavily guarded military bases or heavily guarded industrial areas.

But only that much.

At the moment, the defensive technology that Leon really wants is the antimatter shell shield or the antimatter cloud barrier!
"The Chrono Teleporter... If this thing could be taken out earlier, it might be interesting, but now!"

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh. If this device had been pulled out during the Earth's rebellion war ten years ago, he would have been happier.

Because the hypersonic teleporter can teleport his drones, robots, AI tanks, Chimera chariots and other mechanical troops to any designated area behind enemy lines.

This is to launch a sudden and unethical sneak attack on the enemy.

But for Le Ang today, this device that can only teleport mechanical troops but not real people is still a bit useless.

After all, with Leon's existing giant corporate military power, an interstellar war would be difficult and embarrassing for him.

Even if the Infinity warship were to launch a surprise attack from behind, it probably wouldn't be of much help to the battle situation.

In Li Ang's opinion, the alien civilization he could defeat could be defeated head-on.

If you encounter an alien civilization that you cannot defeat, even if you attack from behind, it will be useless because you cannot defeat it.

Especially in interstellar wars between advanced civilizations, it is almost unlikely that a tense, long-lasting engagement will occur.

Most of the time, the opponent throws an ordinary two-dimensional foil towards you, launching a simple dimensionality reduction attack.

Or he could use his antimatter annihilation cloud to secretly ambush a wave of enemies and destroy the opponent's fleet array.

Therefore, the ultimate exchange between a devastating blow that kills both sides and mutual destruction is most likely the original form of interstellar civilization wars.

Thinking of this, Leon simply skipped the space-time teleporter and continued to look at the items in the heavens behind him.

"Ivan the Tyrant... this thing can be used as a combat agent for the company."

Leon thought thoughtfully about the usage scenarios of Tyrant.

In fact, there are already quite a lot of types of agents in giant companies, including the "Ghost Walker Jack" who specializes in lurking and assassinating, and the clone K who investigates and handles cases.

Or the fighting girl 2B robot with superb swordsmanship is also quite good.

"Forget it, it's not bad to have more company agents who can be used as cannon fodder." Li Ang thought.

The T103 intelligent tyrant from the Umbrella Corporation is 2.13 meters tall and can loyally and firmly execute all human instructions.

This thing doesn't even require Leon to pay extra attention to the AI ​​in the matrix to forcibly brainwash and control it, it can complete its mission from beginning to end.

After looking at all these items, some important and some useless, Li Ang focused his attention on the first level 10 golden legendary item.

The most important and crucial prop:
Stargate!

Just by seeing the name of the item, Leon roughly guessed its true use.

Immediately, Li Ang opened the property panel of the star gate and read its introduction carefully.

[The space-time gate of the heavens and the world: Star Gate
Quality: Legend

Function: A "anywhere gate" that can realize fast navigation. The gate owner can draw a transmission channel of any length, width, height and size to quickly reach other heavens and alien worlds.

Item Description: As the level of the star gate increases, it can open up cross-dimensional worlds.

Including but not limited to - magical otherworld, two-dimensional otherworld, fantasy otherworld, and weird otherworld.

Note: The Star Gate will refresh other alien worlds from time to time, which are consistent with the main world plane of the gate owner.

Only after the level of the star gate is upgraded will different planes of existence emerge.

Sect Master: Li Ang]

……

As expected, this "star gate" that leads to the heavens and other worlds is the key prop for Li Ang to travel to the world of "Netherworld".

The system could obviously give it to him directly, but it required Li Ang to have an extra chance to draw the lottery and win the star gate.

However, this is not a bad thing for Leon, because the function of this star gate is greater than he imagined!

In addition to allowing Leon's large army to freely enter the various alien worlds refreshed by the system, the star gate can also refresh other alien worlds on its own.

This means that Le Ang can not only complete the main tasks arranged by the system, but also go to other worlds to do some side tasks!

Completing the mission of conquering the alien world is equivalent to obtaining resource areas, technology points, and corporate currency production areas.

Completing more tasks is equivalent to obtaining more resources, and the development speed of giant enterprises can be greatly improved and accelerated!
"Wow! This star gate is really interesting. It can even be upgraded."

Looking at the upgrade button on the system panel, Li Ang carefully checked the resources required to upgrade the star gate.

Well, I have to spend corporate coins again...!
Li Ang had just exchanged all his corporate coins for the Science Hub, and now he was a poor man with nothing, with no money to be squeezed out. 'What's going on with this magical world? Could it be that my giant company can go to the Hogwarts world to monopolize some business?'

Li Ang smiled and shook his head.

In his mind, there has emerged a hilarious scene where the villain in the Harry Potter world, holding a staff, shouts at his own giant ship, the Infinity - "Avada, eat the big melon!"

However, from the introduction of the specific functions of the star gate, Leon has learned that such a scene is impossible to happen.

After all, technology and magic belong to two completely different dimensions.

Unless Leon's technological strength has reached the level of a creator god, able to reshape the rules of the universe and rewrite the properties of nature at will.

Otherwise, Leon would give up all the existing technological points of the giant enterprise and start a new monopoly of an alternative "magic giant enterprise" in other worlds.

But no matter which of the above results it is, it is not something Li Ang should consider now.

What's more, Li Ang currently doesn't have much interest or confidence in conquering the fantasy world or the two-dimensional world.

According to the combat effectiveness shown by the fantasy world, unless it is the Douluo Continent where everyone can be bullied, it would be "Devouring the Star" where stars explode at any time.

That is, no matter how many Infinity warships there are, they are not enough for the fantasy male protagonist.

The only conceptual magic weapon that Leon can currently use is the Matrix.

But this little trick is not enough for him to dominate the world in other fantasy worlds.

"It's better for me to be the boss of a giant company in the sci-fi plane for a while, pick up some technology points from other worlds, and have fun developing myself!"

After looking at these items from all over the world, Li Ang began to think about which troops should be sent to the "Underworld" world.

He suddenly received an encrypted message from the ground.

[Boss, the members of the ace vanguard of the "Iron Hands" Astartes have been reorganized and can set off to the heavens and other worlds at any time to complete any command mission! ]

The person who sent this message was V, the Chapter Master of the Iron Hands Astartes Legion.

During the three-month construction period of the Science Hub, V was ordered to form an ace advance team.

They are used to complete various corporate tasks for giant companies in the world of the universe, and the members of these advance teams are all elites carefully selected from the Astartes regiment.

By now, this ace advance team has been integrated and will be able to set off and enter a new battlefield.

"Okay, I will arrange your next combat mission."

After Li Ang sent a reply to V, he immediately asked about V's body transformation.

As the leader of the Iron Hands Chapter, V's level of body transformation naturally represents the highest level of transformation.

It can be said that the degree to which Leon raises the level of the gene seed will determine the extent to which V's body will be transformed.

Up to now, V has completed the 19th organ transformation operation, the black shell transplant, under the personal instruction and supervision of Leon!

This is the final surgical modification for a regular Astartes warrior. This shell organ can be connected to the power armor device outside the human body, and the warrior can control the function of the armor directly through the brain.

In other words, with this special organ, the Space Marine's power armor is equivalent to his second set of skin!
The warrior can easily control the entire power armor through the black shell.

It just so happened that Li Ang had just drawn the MarkX power armor from the prize pool.

Only an Astartes warrior with this set of power armor can be considered a truly complete Space Marine!

And their strength will naturally rise to a new level.

[Everything is fine, no abnormalities have occurred.]

Faced with the boss's sudden concern, V simply reported to Li Ang truthfully.

"That's good."

Li Ang nodded thoughtfully.

I have to say, V's physical talent is really at the level of the male protagonist!
Even if the degree of transformation was raised to 100%, V was able to withstand any backlash without making a sound.

Other Astartes warriors, after undergoing organ modification surgery, need some time to adapt to the changes.

But V can undergo surgery at any time, and after the surgery he can be full of energy and continue to fight in a new battle.

"Keep on standby, new combat missions will be issued soon." Li Ang said in a deep voice.

【Yes! 】

After hanging up the communication with V, Leon raised his hand to close the system panel in front of him and the holographic screen in front of the main console, and came to the observation deck alone.

Standing on a platform where he could enjoy a complete view of the wonders of the universe, Leon looked at the scientific hub that was like a steel behemoth.

At this moment, his determination to master condensed matter technology became even stronger.

"The Netherworld...!"

……

After 14 days.

Ideal city, military area, combat base of the heavens!
"V, all members of our ace vanguard have been equipped with the latest Mark 10 power armor."

At this moment, Jack Wells, Reed and Johnny Silverhand were standing in front of V, reporting on their respective work situations.

"Well, you all did a great job."

V nodded expressionlessly, simply affirming the work performance of the three people.

"Are the members of the advance team still used to the power armor?"

V continued to ask.

He knew that this latest set of Mark X power armor was heavier and more difficult to control than any set of equipment previously worn by the warriors of the Iron Hands Chapter.

Unless someone has undergone a black shell organ transplant like him, he can perfectly adapt to this MarkX power armor.

"Hey! We have the company's Axon Nervous System to use for now, it's actually pretty good."

Jack Wells smiled and said, as the captain of this ace advance team, he was very clear about the real situation of the soldiers in this unit.

"If these little bastards want to use the black carapace, they have to exchange it for real honor. Before that, they can only use the axon nerve obediently."

Organ modification surgery has become a promotion reward mechanism for warriors in the Iron Hands Chapter.

If this mechanism is destroyed rashly, it will easily lead to a decline in the aggressiveness of the soldiers.

After learning about the basic situation of the Ace Advance Team members, V nodded with relief and said nothing more.

This combat operation in the alien worlds, which is kept highly secret from the outside world and is strictly guarded internally, is about to begin!

The core combat members selected are the ace vanguard of this Astartes regiment.

This is not only a practical test for V and his gang by Leon, but also an ability training for his trusted team.

In the future conquests of other worlds, there will definitely be a more cruel and difficult world waiting for them.

By that time, Leon hopes that these battle-hardened soldiers of the Iron Hands Regiment will be able to use their indestructible strength and fighting spirit to crush any opponent that is hostile to the giant enterprise!
This Netherworld Operation is a test for them.

"V, I heard that the code name of this operation is 'Netherworld'. Even the alien world we are going to is named the 'Netherworld' world."

"Do you know the real reason?"

At this time, Johnny Silverhand, who was curious about the action plan, couldn't help but ask V.

To be honest, until now, they have no idea about the situation in the foreign world they are about to go to.

During this period, they were only busy selecting elite warriors from the regiment, but they did not learn any details about Operation Netherworld from the orders of their superiors.

As the military advisor to the Astartes Chapter, Johnny Silverhand never fights a battle unprepared.

Without knowing the detailed information about the underworld, he felt a little unsure.

In fact, in Johnny Silverhand's premonition, he felt that the difficulty of this Netherworld Operation might be more difficult than their battle with the Na'vi on Pandora!

"Yes, V, tell us what the world over there is like."

David and Li De also followed suit and said that they also wanted to know more about the underworld.

"Well... to be honest, I'm not sure either."

Facing the eager looks from Johnny, Jack and others, V shook his head helplessly, indicating that he also knew very little about the details of this operation.

There is no way. Until the giant company sends people to that world and truly surveys the specific data and information, no one knows what the situation is like in that world.

Including Li Ang, who personally planned this trip to another world!

After all, this was the first time that Leon opened the star gate and commanded human troops to go to other worlds.

He couldn't guarantee whether there would be any positioning errors in this star gate, or whether the situation in the world of "Underworld" would deviate from that in the original work or cause any unexpected accidents.

The above-mentioned issues are all within the scope of Leon's careful consideration. He has to temporarily not reveal any information about the netherworld to the outside world.

Unless it is confirmed that the star gate is accurately located and the world on the other side is the underworld, Li Ang will release some detailed information about the underworld.

Therefore, even as Leon's confidant, V didn't know much about the action plan.

Jack and the others were a little surprised when they saw that V was also unaware of the details of this operation.

Even V doesn’t know the details of Operation Nether, let alone these little guys!
