Chapter 206 Closing Operation! Virus Destruction! All-out Army Attack!

However, no matter how chaotic the environment of this giant building is, human society always needs some gray areas to buffer the "evil" attributes of human nature.

Soon, with Hannibal Zhou's introduction, Corey and others had a clearer understanding of this giant building.

Every building in Antarctica has a complete air circulation and heating system.

The low, medium and high-rise building areas have different functions. For example, the low-rise areas are mainly used for private shops, business premises, and various gray industries.

The middle level is the processing workshop, and the upper levels are high-end consumption places and spacious and comfortable living areas.

In fact, the building that Hannibal Zhou sold to Corey was not a complete giant building, but a single building within it, and the people living here were all poor people from the lower class.

But even so, it was enough for Corey to use it as their base.

After a while, with Hannibal Zhou's casual narration, Corey and others learned in detail about the past of the Earth in "Pacific Rim".

The war between humans and the pioneer civilization here has lasted for more than 30 years.

In the decisive battle in 2026, the Danger Ranger mecha failed to detonate the nuclear reactor, making the defense force's defeat an established fact.

To this end, humans have exhausted all resources and built the last giant urban clusters in Antarctica and parts of Australia.

During this period, facing the beast tide attack launched by the pioneers, humans almost exhausted all their available combat forces.

The few remaining mechas were all destroyed by the Pioneers during the beast tide invasion, and all they gained in return was a few days of peace.

Just like that, in just two and a half years, the Human United Government launched 90% of its nuclear weapons stockpiles toward the battlefield outside.

Although this almost life-threatening attack did cause some minor troubles to the pioneers at the beginning.

But as time goes by and the environment deteriorates after nuclear pollution, it has directly led to a further reduction in human habitable space.

This method of killing 800 enemies and losing 10,000 of one's own made the pioneers ecstatic, but just when the pioneers decided to destroy human civilization in one go.

Accident happened!
The research team composed of Newton Gerzel and Dr. Hermann Gottlieb achieved several new technological breakthroughs within half a year.

Humans used more environmentally friendly and cleaner plasma cannons to resist the invasion of the pioneers and stop the decline of humanity.

The birth of superconducting materials also gave the survivors of "Pacific Rim" hope of survival.

Faced with the human civilization that was fighting to the death, the pioneers were forced to suspend the general offensive against Antarctica and Australia.

In the following few years, the two sides maintained this rare state of peace, and the pioneer beasts never attacked human cities once.

Strangely enough, ever since the pioneer civilization chose to withdraw, the development of human technology has once again strangely fallen into a slow period.

In this way, the current situation between the pioneers and humans is in a state of mutual tug-of-war and game.

The pioneers did not dare to push too hard, for fear of activating the racial talents of humans again.

Humans are also constantly on guard, speeding up technological research and development as much as possible while actively mobilizing various internal resources.

Corey conveyed all the above information to his boss Mann, and Mann sorted out the information.

In the office area inside the airship, he personally gave periodic situation reports to Li Ang.

In front of the huge holographic screen, Mann sent a request for a video call to his boss, Leon.

Immediately, the screen showed Li Ang sitting in front of the center console, and standing next to him were other executives of the giant company.

"Mann, it looks like you've intercepted some good news. Tell me about it."

Before Mann could speak, Leon could tell from the other party's irrepressible excitement that the front-line investigator had obtained some important intelligence.

"Yes, our people are moving smoothly in the giant city, and we have also obtained a base that can be used as a springboard at any time."

As Mann spoke, he sent the sorted information to Leon.

"In addition, among the intelligence we have collected recently, we have also discovered the brain of the Kaiju, which can be used as a device to achieve a common consciousness between humans and pioneers."

"It is possible that the Pioneers could use this method to invade human consciousness and control the senior members of the Defense Force for their own use!"

Combining the information sent by Mann and Leon's setting of the details of the original work, he was able to realize one of the ways the Pioneers planted traitors among humans.

It is very likely that they will give Kaiju to humans for free to fight, leaving a few dead bodies behind, and let humans use Kaiju's brains to connect with their consciousness.

The earliest group of people who did this must not have been fully identified yet. It is possible that the scientists within the defense forces have already become puppets of the pioneers!

'My goodness, this is an alien version of the Trojan Horse!'

Leon lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked Mann to continue to stay in the base and further develop the power of the giant company.

Try to gain complete control of the area as much as possible, and send more company personnel into the giant building.

In order to cope with unexpected needs.

"Mann, I think you know what to do. I will wait for good news from your front line at the headquarters."

As soon as the words fell, Mann's firm reply came from the other side of the screen: "Yes, boss!"

After hanging up the communication, Leon no longer focused on dealing with the Pioneers, but on the information coming from the Pandora Galaxy in the main universe.

【Pandora Files:

Heretic Civilization: A1 Space Wanderer

description:

After a long period of tracking and investigation by investigators Goro Takemura and Alex, it can be preliminarily determined that the civilization has only 10 starships and no large rear base.

Judging from the heretics' appearance and special abilities, they do not possess strong melee capabilities.

In order to avoid any further complications, we specifically requested the headquarters to send two additional RCS-class armored cruisers and one Infinity-class starship to carry out a complete sweep of the civilization.

Applicants: Goro Takemura, Alex! 】

Through the document sent by Goro Takemura and Alex, Leon has confirmed the first big fish caught in this "civilized fishing plan".

Although this alien civilization named "A1 Wanderer" only has an antimatter engine technology that is of some use to giant enterprises.

But at this moment, Li Ang just needed this technology as the initial technology research and development point of the scientific hub.

The condensed matter technology obtained by the giant company in the "Underworld" universe needs to go through three processes: [condensed matter] - [quantum model] - [antimatter engine].

Only then can we obtain complete primary antimatter technology.

The technical points seized from the "A1 Wanderer" civilization this time will directly accelerate Leon's progress in obtaining the [Antimatter Shield].

The antimatter shield that was expected to take a year to unlock can now be unlocked quickly in less than three months!
'Straight hook fishing always hits the target, giant companies will never go empty-handed!'

Li Ang smiled. He naturally had no reason to reject this application document.

After reading the detailed information, I gave a "pass" reply.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ang notified the giant company's public relations department, publicity department, and members of the scientific research team of the scientific hub to make a series of preparations.

Although under the control of giant corporations, humans in Utopia and the Netherworld Earth are moving towards merger.

However, without enough external factors as interference, the human society is not actually solid, but rather has inherent gaps and frequent frictions and conflicts.

When faced with life and death, humans can unite and unleash extremely powerful strength with an extremely high upper limit.

However, when the situation is peaceful and stable, the highly active quantum system in the human body will make them restless and start to act up, leading to various infighting behaviors.

For a civilized species like this with a high upper limit and a low lower limit, giant companies must always focus their attention on conquering heretics in order to maintain internal stability.

This time, the [Civilization Fishing Plan] can just focus the attention of the humans in Utopia on the alien heretics.

At the same time, the great success of the giant company's conquest of other worlds can also boost the self-confidence of the giant company's humans and inspire their fighting spirit to contribute to the giant company.

Human beings are a species that can never sit still. If they are not provided with a platform to realize their self-worth, they will turn around and create internal strife.

Therefore, once the huge war machine of the universe giant enterprise is started, it must operate and function without stopping.

As an executive of a giant company, Li Ang has to do more than just develop technology. Using clever political means to win over the hearts and minds of the people is also his must.

Not long after, after reviewing various application documents from Ideal City and 001 Universe, Li Ang closed the holographic screen.

He then switched the screen to the Biotechnology Department and sent a communication invitation to Francis.

He needed to know the latest improvements to the Manticore virus.

Deng!
As the signal was connected, Francis' slightly excited voice appeared on the screen:
"Boss, you came at the perfect time. We have made a breakthrough in the modified Scorpion Tailed Lion virus sample."

"This virus only targets the pioneer gene. It will definitely kill those heretics easily."

Upon learning that the project had only made a breakthrough, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that difficult to just implant the Pioneer's genetic information into the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus.

It is still a breakthrough even now!

Facing Leon's question, Francis shrugged and explained in a somewhat helpless tone:

"When we extracted the pioneer gene samples, we also found that they contained another element, which is sulfur."

"They have a little more genetic data, so we need to put more effort into entering it to make sure there are no mistakes."

"Fortunately, we have already completed the prototype of the finished product. Now we have to consider its large-scale dissemination!"

"But before that, we have to conduct a test on the Manticore virus. Boss, are you interested in coming over to learn more about it?"

"I promise you, there are surprises waiting for you here!"

Francis' words reminded Leon that he had never met the pioneer face to face.

Just a few days ago, V, Jack Wells and others broke into the Pioneer's lair and arrested a group of Pioneer scientists and Kaiju.

It's just right to use them now to test the lethality of the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus!
"Okay, I'll go now."

After hanging up the call, Li Ang immediately took the executives of the giant company beside him to the train platform of the base headquarters, preparing to take the suspension train to the experimental center of the Biotechnology Department.

Ten minutes later, Li Ang and his companions arrived at the Biotechnology Department and saw several imprisoned Pioneers in a huge fully enclosed laboratory. Through a thickened special glass window, Li Ang saw the Pioneers inside, trembling as they looked at the surrounding environment and the people standing on the stands.

From the eyes of these alien creatures, Leon seemed to feel some obvious fear and terror.

"It's interesting that these beasts can actually show such emotions. If that's the case, let's execute them one by one."

Le Ang smiled calmly and ordered his Astartes warriors to forcibly separate several pioneers and conduct virus tests on them separately through a transparent glass wall.

Soon, the first Pioneer was attacked by the Scorpion Spore Virus released from the air duct.

"hiss--!!"

Almost instantly, the Pioneer that came into contact with the spores began to twitch uncontrollably, and then its ink-black eyes swelled up and green liquid oozed out.

This liquid should be their blood.

In less than ten seconds, the pioneer infected by the Scorpion Tail Virus suddenly died.

The other pioneers who saw this scene also walked back and forth in panic, trying to break open the glass windows and seem to escape.

Obviously, they don't want to die yet!

At this moment, Francis, who was standing next to Leon, looked excited and said to his boss:

"Boss, our experiment was successful. The Manticore virus only takes 8.23 ​​seconds to kill the Pioneer!"

"But... this is only the first type of Manticore virus. We have another one ready!"

Francis gave a mysterious smile. As a leading expert in the biotechnology department, he certainly knew what to do to maximize the killing range of the virus.

That is the delayed death virus!

The best cockroach medicine will not only focus on killing one cockroach, but an entire nest of cockroaches.

Francis conducted many experiments in order to make the spores of the Scorpion Tail virus delay their full toxicity for a specified period of time.

"So, you have made some improvements to the Manticore virus?" Li Ang was a little surprised.

"That's right!"

After saying that, Francis looked at the watch on his wrist. After calculating the time and waiting for a moment, the pioneers who were isolated on another level suddenly showed symptoms of poisoning.

Just like the previous pioneer, it also died suddenly with convulsions within a few seconds after the poison took effect.

"This is the delayed-release Scorpion Tailed Lion virus we developed for the Pioneers. After waiting for 12 hours, when these Pioneers spread the virus from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, we will then launch a concentrated outbreak of the virus!"

“It’s not as deadly, but it’s more efficient.”

Francis's philosophy is quite consistent with the operating style of the giant company, which makes Le Ang look at this old friend in front of him with a new respect.

"You always come up with new ideas for me!"

Leon smiled with satisfaction and fully affirmed Francis's approach to improving the Scorpion Tail Virus.

This is the kind of director that the biotechnology department of a global giant company needs!

However, the surprise Francis prepared for Leon this time was far more than that.

It turned out that just after V brought back the genetic samples and individuals of the pioneers, Francis called his beloved disciple Nicolo.

The two worked together to extract the Pioneers' genetic material and used cloning technology to create dozens of unconscious living Pioneers.

The agents of the giant companies can control these pioneers by manipulating polymer devices and let them bring the virus back to the pioneers' bases!

In this way, the effect of poisoning an entire nest can be perfectly achieved.

"very good!"

Li Ang once again gave a positive evaluation of the work results of the Biotechnology Department.

He knew what would happen next without Francis having to continue.

"Boss, I suggest that we use two approaches at once. We can use aircraft and these biological spies to infect the Pioneers with this virus and try to end this war completely within 24 hours!"

Morgan Blackhand, who was following behind Leon, made his proposal in a timely manner.

His suggestion was also recognized by Francis: "Yes, Chief Morgan and I agree."

"Then it's settled."

Li Ang immediately made a decision and formulated the next action plan.

Francis' eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"Now that the boss has spoken, we will now enter the final stage of debugging and mass-produce this virus!"

"Everything can be prepared in three days at most!"

Leon was very satisfied with the high efficiency of the Biotechnology Department. He patted Francis on the shoulder:

"Thank you for your hard work. Afterwards, your Biotechnology Department will be the first to gain credit for this battle."

Li Ang's management style for giant enterprises is the same as his own work style, which is simple and efficient.

As a ruthless performance converter, he will give his employees preferential treatment according to the contribution they make.

When it comes to rewarding people based on their merits, Li Ang has done a very good job.

"Okay! Let's continue working on the final part of the experiment."

Francis didn't bother to be polite with Leon. In a giant company, personal connections are of no use. What matters here is performance, not interpersonal relationships.

……

A week later, in the city of São Paulo where the Star Gate is located.

The Skyhawk shuttle fleet quickly flew over the city, overlooking this tall city that had not yet been submerged by the ocean.

"Everything is normal around the front-line base. There is no trace of Kaiju. We can continue the net-closing operation!"

The pilots in the shuttle fleet were operating the aircraft while making observation reports to the ground base.

"Continue to observe."

Orders came from the commander in the base.

"Yes!"

……

Thanks to the emergency repair and reconstruction work of the engineering department of a giant enterprise, the dead city that was once reduced to ruins has gradually regained new life.

The engineering department of the giant company takes the Star Gate as its core, continuously expanding outward and improving the scale of the front-line base.

After nearly two months, this dead city has become an industrialized town that can accommodate 100,000 people.

A large number of AI robots and logistics personnel are scattered in the ruins of the front-line base, shuttling back and forth between the base and the factory.

They recycle the waste here and make new building materials through industrial 3D printing plants.

At the same time, a fully automated mechanical transportation system was connected directly from the Earth in Pacific Rim to the Wanjie Base through the star gate.

All materials, weapons and equipment, as well as various vehicle components can be quickly transported unmanned, greatly improving production efficiency.

The scale of the training ground built underground has expanded by more than ten times compared to before.

Gathered here are a large number of fully armed ASR Corps, Astartes Reserve Corps, Clone Corps and other soldiers wearing tactical masks.

These soldiers will follow the instructions of the Astartes Ace Vanguard directly and cooperate with the members of the vanguard to carry out various tactical attacks.

And the clone soldiers also have corresponding control members to carry out a series of combat commands.

Next are the Chimera chariots, numbering about 300, as well as the Demon Lizard chariots and other equipment.

This killing machine, which can adapt to various complex terrains and has the ability to hover and fly, can be well used in various combat environments.

In addition, after being modified by the Ministry of Military Industry, this batch of tanks has been equipped with more powerful firepower and better fire control systems.

When the company's ground forces had gathered, a small number of elite soldiers boarded the Storm Eagle gunship, shuttle, and Wasp.

As for the remaining members of the troop, they went to a larger lift platform and boarded a larger transport airship, the Dragon Assault Boat!

This troop transport vehicle is a medium-sized aircraft that can more conveniently carry out the deployment missions of tens of thousands of soldiers for giant companies.

After all, the carrying capacity of shuttles and gunboats is relatively limited, and they can only be used for ordinary transportation services and infiltration missions behind enemy lines.

For large-scale troop transfers like this one, this type of airship is needed.

The maximum number of passengers this model of flying boat can carry is 213.

The built-in deck area can barely accommodate 3-4 Chimera chariots, or 6 Demon Lizard chariots.

Therefore, the Dragon assault boat became the key vehicle in this combat operation.

However, the targets of their action this time are not just the pioneers outside, but also the human cities in Antarctica!

Inside the headquarters command center at this moment.

"All soldiers and heavy armored units will be boarded within ten minutes. The current progress is 90%."

"The air fleet transporting the Manticore virus has arrived at various airspaces and sea areas around the world. It is expected that the virus will be released in three minutes."

"The pioneer clones carrying the pathogen have successfully entered the enemy's headquarters in various locations. There are no abnormalities in the plan."

"The Infinity-class starship has arrived over South America and can provide any fire support to the ground forces, as well as orbital airdrops."

"The RCS-class armored cruiser has arrived near the Pioneer's wormhole device. The Kaiju here has been controlled and can enter the wormhole at any time and reach the enemy's home planet!"

"..."
