Chapter 201 Pacific Rim Project! Everywhere you look, there are giant companies!
Every time Le Ang conquered a different world, he was left with a mess that needed to be rebuilt.
Without sufficiently strong logistical productivity, the reconstruction of these worlds would be extremely slow.
Even if Leon maximized the production efficiency of the clone and replica factories, the free labor produced would still not be enough!
In fact, most of the factory areas in Ideal City are now fully focused on producing and manufacturing AI robots, replicants, or clones as free labor.
Their main use is in various planetary mining missions and as front-line cannon fodder for the military.
But even so, the mineral resources that the world's giant companies obtain every day are still far from enough.
Because whether it is human mining or large-scale AI robots, their work efficiency is really too low.
What's more, these AI robots and clones also need to be brainwashed and controlled by AI produced by the Matrix.
Otherwise, it would be easy for the intelligent machines to rebel or the tools to revolt.
Once such a riot occurs, the giant company must send troops to carry out strong armed suppression.
This back and forth will lead to a huge increase in production costs.
If it weren't for "Eva" on Pandora, who generates electricity through consciousness energy every day, the AI produced by the Matrix would have been in short supply by now.
Therefore, if Li Ang does a quick calculation, he will understand what choice he should make.
He is determined to get the maximum level mass decomposer!
"This thing really works. The amount of mining it can do at one time can exceed the workload of hundreds of billions of people."
After comparing the mass decomposer on the system panel and seeing the huge gap between it and manual mining, Li Ang became more determined to get a full-level mass decomposer.
From the perspective of the long-term development interests of giant enterprises, they will definitely give priority to mining, obtain more construction resources, lay a solid foundation for themselves, and make their internal foundation solid and strong.
This is the only way to drive the giant enterprise's huge war machine faster and better!
Besides, this is a technological point that can extract and refine matter from black holes.
A black hole devours everything in the world, even light, but a mass decomposer can pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth.
There was really no reason for Li Ang to ignore such a heaven-defying black technology giant.
"If this thing could be transformed into a super weapon, it would be able to destroy a planet in an instant."
"Unfortunately... it cannot be changed."
After closing the system panel, Li Ang simply planned the combat deployment for this trip in his mind.
And this conquest operation was named the "Pacific Rim" plan.
"Europa, notify the heads of all departments of the giant company immediately. I need to issue new orders!"
As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, the transcendental AI Europa, who was on standby in the hall, immediately responded.
【As you wish, my master.】
……
……
A week later.
Ideal City, inside the maglev train near the Wanjie Base.
Swish——! !
A maglev train with twenty-two carriages and cargo boxes quickly shuttled from south to north.
Not long after, the train began to slow down slowly. After the speed was steadily reduced, the train finally stopped at platform number 13.
Accompanied by a "beep" prompt sound, the hatches on the right side of the carriage opened all at once, and countless soldiers in combat uniforms walked out with curious eyes.
"Is this the company's maglev train? It's much faster than the trains on Earth!"
"The speed of this train is almost faster than that of an ordinary passenger plane, let alone a train."
"..."
This group of soldiers from the Earth in the Netherworld universe observed the surrounding environment and expressed sincere exclamations.
They were wearing black combat uniforms uniformly distributed by the Universal Corporation. Among them were AST armored teams and a small number of soldiers who had been selected for the Astartes Legion.
These people were all carrying or holding military luggage bags, walking in the same direction with excited and expectant expressions.
It is obvious that these soldiers were called up to join the "Pacific Rim" combat plan planned by the global giant enterprise!
After seeing that the soldiers had arrived at their destination, nearly a hundred staff members in company uniforms took the soldiers to the large elevator one by one.
They are about to arrive at the transportation hub of the Wanjie Base.
The area of the Wanjie Base is extremely large, accounting for 5% of the area of the Ideal City.
It is just an ordinary transportation hub, but there are several super-large corridors.
Elevators and rail trains of different sizes connect various areas of the base like blood vessels.
"Oh my god! Is this the world's largest company? The scale of this company... is simply an unimaginable behemoth!"
The person who made this exclamation was Steve, who had previously wanted to join the marketing department of a giant company.
A month ago, after a series of arduous and rigorous screenings, Lieutenant Corey and his two soldiers, Steve and Bruce, were successfully selected into the Astartes Chapter.
However, the troops they joined were only the reserve forces of the Astartes Regiment, so they had not even undergone the first transformation operation.
And this transfer to the Wanjie Base is a good opportunity for them to change their destiny!
After all, if you participate in battles in another world, you will have the hope of rising higher.
Soon, the soldiers followed the company's employees, took a short train and arrived at their staff dormitory area.
Not only is there a free canteen here, but there are also supermarkets, pubs, video game arcades, Super Dream Clubs, cinemas, food streets and other entertainment venues for soldiers to consume.
This can prevent soldiers from developing mental illness due to long-term training stress and the inability to relieve it.
Soon, Corey, Steve and Bruce put their luggage away and arrived at the training ground before the training start time.
And there, David Martinez, the instructor of the Iron Hands Astartes Regiment, explained to the soldiers below with a solemn tone and a focused look:
"Welcome everyone to the Universal Corporation, the center of the Myriad Worlds Base!"
"I'm your drill sergeant, David Martinez."
After briefly introducing himself, David didn't waste any more time talking to these new recruits and went straight to the point.
"So far, the giant enterprise has explored two universes, including the current main universe, Pandora, and the 001 "Underworld" universe."
"I am dispatching you all here to start the next step of space exploration. The code name of this operation is the Pacific Rim Project!"
After saying this, the soldiers below suddenly became excited.
They were silent on the surface, but their excited eyes like torches and their bodies trembling slightly with excitement showed the soldiers' impulse at the moment.
They were eager to rush to the new battlefield right now, to establish merit for the giant company, and to get their own share of glory and generous rewards. "Right now, all departments of the company are actively preparing for war, dispatching soldiers, logistical materials, and various large-scale equipment, so you need to stay in the Wanjie base for a while."
"I will lead everyone to participate in daily training and understand the detailed operation procedures of the base."
"Once the operation begins, you will follow me into a new universe. Do you have any questions?"
After two combat operations in another world, David's temperament has changed from the initial silence and restraint to resolute and decisive.
Just through such a simple meeting, David established his prestige among the new recruits.
"no problem!!"
The soldiers below responded one after another.
When the soldiers thought about the opportunity to participate in this combat mission, they were all full of fighting spirit and not at all afraid.
Honor and money are right in front of us, no one will back down from this!
……
Just as all departments of the Wanjie Base were busy, a dazzling light burst out in the core area of the base.
That was the star gate opened by Leon, and on the other side of the gate was the Pacific Rim universe!
The command center of the Wanjie Base.
Li Ang sat at the main console as usual, watching all the dynamic situations near the star gate from a distance with calm eyes.
Through the images transmitted by the drone, he could clearly observe all the scenes on the other side of the star gate.
Although the star gate leading to the Earth in "Pacific Rim" has been opened, everyone must stay on standby until receiving Leon's highest order.
Anyone who dares to enter the "Star Gate" without permission will die!
"Hopefully, we can resolve the troubles in Pacific Rim as soon as possible this time."
Li Ang thought to himself.
Since the establishment of the ideal city, he has launched two large-scale conquests.
Pandora has a planetary consciousness and the "Underworld" universe has quantum soldiers.
These two universes, led by giant enterprises, are not only resource areas, but more importantly, new technological points.
Although there are no special technological points on Pandora, the suspended stones and the consciousness entity "Eva" there still provide a lot of resources and energy for the giant enterprises.
Especially "Eva"!
Since Eva was connected to the matrix, almost all of the consciousness energy it absorbed has entered the matrix server.
And most of this energy is used to produce AI brainwashing tools and used on human clones.
Eva only had a small amount of consciousness energy left to maintain her normal operation.
He can be regarded as a model worker of a giant enterprise!
As of now, the current population of the Universal Corporation has reached 50 billion, which is also the total population of Cyberworld and the Netherworld.
Of course, this does not include clones and replicas produced in factories.
If this group of artificial humans were to be included, the total population of the giant company would reach a staggering 300 billion!
The reason why these artificial humans are not included in the total population of the giant company is because they are all consumables of the company and have a set lifespan.
For example, the clones used for mining will be implanted with AI for consciousness control as soon as they are produced, and they will have absolute loyalty to the giant companies.
Under normal circumstances, the normal lifespan of a clone is 10-25 years.
Once the lifespan countdown reaches zero, these clones will be sent to the factory for recycling and then shipped back to the factory, and the cycle will continue.
The clones will not participate in normal human social activities in the ideal city, but will be sent to various planets to command and operate large machines to carry out mining tasks.
They do not enjoy basic human rights.
Only a very small number of clones who have made outstanding contributions to the giant corporations are eligible to enjoy the benefits of the giant corporations and obtain the rights of real people.
[Boss, this is the latest information about the number of our company's legions, please have a look.]
At this time, AI Europa sent a holographic screen to Leon, and the information displayed on it was the data of the various units of the giant company that had just expanded its army.
"Ah."
Li Ang raised his hand and clicked on the screen.
Through the information compiled by Europa, Leon had a clearer understanding of the current size of the giant company's forces.
In terms of naval forces, the number of 200 Infinity-class starships has not changed much, and the number of naval members remains at 8 million.
The total number of the remaining army and air force forces reached an astonishing 5200 million!
The "Iron Hands" Astartes Legion, which is Leon's elite force, has 50 official members and 120 million reserve personnel.
As for the newly formed ace advance team soldiers, after 19 consecutive rounds of careful selection, only people were left.
Although the number of soldiers in the Ace Vanguard is smaller, this group of soldiers is definitely more than enough for most alien world conquest operations.
After reading the latest military situation of the giant company, Li Ang nodded calmly.
Judging from the current number of troops in the giant company, it is actually quite sufficient.
During combat operations, most soldiers can only do odd jobs in the logistics department.
Unless they have undergone their own hard training, passed the layers of screening of the giant companies, and joined the Astartes Legion, or the AST power armor and other elite forces.
Only this group of soldiers will have the opportunity to officially participate in combat operations in other worlds, and can achieve class advancement by establishing merits for giant companies.
Just as Leon was about to close the holographic screen and turn his attention back to the star gate, he suddenly saw a line of data in the lower right corner of the screen.
Those are clone soldiers who have not been officially incorporated into the military strength of the giant company.
"There are quite a few clone soldiers, 200 million of them, which is enough to serve as cannon fodder."
Li Ang recalled that in the past few years, 60% of the production lines in the factory area of Ideal City were actually producing unconscious clones and conscious replicants.
Duplicants are mainly used in mining production.
Clones are used in war.
Clone soldiers, who have no thoughts, consciousness, or souls, are mostly used as cannon fodder to bear casualties on the front battlefield.
To put it bluntly, it is war consumables.
These clone soldiers do not need AI as a brainwashing tool. They can be controlled by human soldiers operating polymer devices.
As for the Utopia and the humans in the Underworld universe, in fact, more often than not, they serve as colonists, occupying other habitable planets for the cosmic giants.
For example, on the moon, the earth in the "Underworld" universe, or other planets with good natural environments, there will be humans.
It can be said that within the sphere of influence of the world’s giant corporations, there will always be human footprints!
Wherever you look, you see giant companies.
