Chapter 223: Power Generation! Use all of it for power generation!
At this time, a pulse scan was sent out from the holographic screen on V's tactical helmet, capturing various terrain details and suspected ambush points around.

With the help of reconnaissance equipment, V and his commando team basically avoided most ambushes and traps, so even if a few of them were hit, it didn't matter.

Just as V was about to lead the team and rush into the giant building complex not far in front of him.

Dozens of Storm Hawk gunships and shuttle fleets also landed at the landing area behind him.

It turns out that "boarding" operations like V's are still ongoing.

In order to cover these batches of boarding soldiers and complete the landing operations, almost all of the carrier-based aircraft in the Giant Enterprise fleet array were dispatched.

At this moment, a communication reminder from Li De sounded:

[V, we have to split up into three groups to carry out the mission. Johnny and Jack stay here to stop the enemy and buy time for more reinforcements.]

[David and I will go find the Queen of the Reapers and use the matrix device to connect that guy to the power grid! ]

[And you...you have to take Song Zhaomei and the other engineers to the Reapers' lair and hack into their command center.]

【…】

After a brief exchange of ideas, V learned that the new reinforcements numbered approximately 5,000 people.

The team is basically a mixture of Astartes flying formations and some AST power armor units.

Most of the senior officers of the Iron Hands Chapter also appeared in this landing operation.

Obviously, the credit for this "first climb" was given to the young Astartes warriors. After that, the entire army went out to attack and get down to business in one go!
After learning about his next mission, V nodded thoughtfully. He knew that this operation could not be entirely placed on this group of young soldiers.

We have to attack from multiple fronts!
"Yes, I understand."

Just when V was about to hang up the voice call, Song Zhaomei's face suddenly appeared in front of his holographic screen.

[V, the boss has already dispatched 5 Infinity-class arrays to rush here, and will soon complete a comprehensive blockade and encirclement of this star field, completely trapping these heretics to death.]

[Your and my mission is to go to their command center. I'll have to trouble you to take us there. V, your mission is very difficult.]

Song Zhaomei's face and voice are still the same as before.

After more than 20 years of experience, her temperament and language style are also full of competence and shrewdness.

Among the many senior executives of the giant company, she is the most promising successor to Otto Cunningham's position, and is also one of Leon's most trusted confidants.

"Yes, I understand."

V's tone remained calm, and after a brief exchange of words with Song Zhaomei, he switched to the communication channel of his good brother Jack Wells.

During the banter with Jack, V also learned more about the characteristics and weaknesses of the Reaper Queen from him.

Including the real reason why the Queen must not be allowed to escape!
When V learned that the Reaper civilization also had a giant ship with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers, which was three times larger than this starship, he was completely shocked.

V couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if a giant ship over 3,000 kilometers long appeared in the sky above the earth.

I'm afraid that the gravitational field generated by the giant ship alone can "tear" the earth's crust on the spot!

It is precisely because of this that Leon must never let the Reaper Queen escape.

If it were to go home and get reinforcements, the battle would be prolonged indefinitely.

But now V doesn't have the time to think about things that haven't happened yet.

After waiting for the arrival of Jack and Reed, they immediately transferred and exchanged personnel.

"Don't worry, V. I and Johnny will take care of this. Just take your old acquaintance with you and hack into the other side's system!"

Jack grinned, and without caring about V's reaction, he immediately gave new instructions to the soldiers here and said:
"Gunners from all teams, prepare to reload. There is a group of heretics coming two kilometers away from us. We have to give them some 'small gifts'."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers on the side responded:
"Yes!"

Immediately, a group of Astartes warriors activated the anti-Hulk armor again, and after assembling the modular laser cannon, they flew directly into the air.

After seeing the swarm of soldier ants rushing in not far away, they immediately locked onto the enemy area, and then finished charging the laser cannon.

The soldiers immediately pulled the trigger.

Swish——! !

In an instant, the laser cannon, like a death ray, drew precise cutting energy knives among the soldier ants, cutting countless soldier ants in half and causing explosions.

After completing the first wave of attacks, this group of flying warriors stretched out their palms and launched a harvesting attack on the remaining enemies with palm thunder.

In almost the blink of an eye, this group of Astartes "Iron Men" wiped out all the Reapers in front of them.

The main reason why they were able to win so easily was because the Reaper's air force was being pinned down by the fleet of the Universal Corporation.

As for the ground troops that arrived, due to time constraints and lack of sufficient preparation, the Reaper Queen was unable to send out powerful armored units.

Judging from the current situation, unless these soldiers use up all their laser weapons and strategic-level hydrogen bombs.

Otherwise, the soldier ants here would basically come here to get killed and end up being wiped out.

Just as Jack and Johnny were on the front battlefield, carrying out blocking missions and attracting the enemy's attention.

An array of Skyhawk shuttles was rapidly flying over the Reaper mothership in stealth mode!

The mission of this combat aircraft group is to go to the command center of the enemy mothership to complete the takeover mission and to capture the Reaper Queen.

Complete the final decapitation operation!

Inside one of the shuttles.

Looking at the holographic screen in front of them that displayed various information, V and Song Zhaomei could clearly see the entire battle situation that was happening at the moment.

The two did not have much private conversation. At this moment, they learned that Jack and Johnny had successfully completed the first wave of blocking missions.

They all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

But before they could continue to check the following information, the shuttle pilot suddenly sent a communication report:

"Report to the Chapter Master, we have found the command center of the Reaper mothership!"

Afterwards, the driver used visual sharing to allow V and Song Zhaomei to see the road conditions ahead at the same time.

A command center that looks like a beehive and stands among the giant buildings is not far from them!

Seeing this, V immediately gave the order:
"Push forward with all your strength, and sneak in with the soldiers and engineers first."

"Roger that!"

As V's order was given, the shuttle carrying the engineer and V began to lower its altitude, preparing to fly towards the Reaper's command center.

The shuttle that Reed and David were in continued to maintain the original route and did not participate in the mission performed by V. Because their mission was to learn from the hunters who were waiting behind and arrest the damned Reaper Queen!
"David, our mission this time is of utmost importance. Don't underestimate the queen. She is not as simple as you think."

Li De spoke to David earnestly. Looking at this promising young warrior, his eyes were filled with unstoppable admiration and recognition.

This time, their boss Leon specifically gave the credit of "being the first to reach the target" to the young Astartes warrior, and assigned the key decapitation mission to David.

It's obvious that they are cultivating David Martinez!

Since it is the boss's arrangement, what else is there to say? This time we must complete the task neatly, beautifully and perfectly.

"Yes, sir!"

David nodded calmly, remaining focused and cautious as before.

David, who has managed to make it into the younger generation of officers, certainly cannot be a naive and innocent person who knows nothing about the world.

He was very clear about his boss Li Ang's actions, and he also understood that this was his chance to take off, so he cherished this opportunity more than anyone else!

"Listen carefully, this time we are facing the Reaper Queen..."

After Reed's detailed explanation, David realized that the Reaper Queen he was about to face was actually a giant monster that was thirty meters tall!

This is close to the size of a Kaiju.

Logically speaking, the queen should be a core racial unit with no offensive means and mainly responsible for production.

Unexpectedly, among the Reapers, the Queen not only serves as the brain of the species and has to make a series of commands, but also has the most powerful military force!
Moreover, the Queen is equipped with the same energy protection shield as the giant ship, which can resist close-range attacks from nuclear bombs.

After listening to this, David was thoughtful. No wonder the boss would temporarily dispatch other troops.

With only him and Chapter Captain V and his group of Astartes warriors, they could at most advance to the door of the Harvester's command center, and they probably wouldn't be able to advance any further.

"David, take it. This is the key weapon for us to defeat the Reaper Queen. This thing is more useful than any other weapon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Reed handed the palm-sized matrix access device into David's hands.

What they have to do next is to use the matrix to launch a fatal blow to the queen and draw that damn alien heretic into the matrix to use as raw material for power generation!

……

……

The outskirts of the Reaper Command Center!

Thousands of worker ant units are carrying out the loading task of transport planes in an orderly manner, preparing to support the interstellar naval battle taking place outside the mothership.

Under the operation of the Harvester Queen's powerful hive consciousness single-core CPU, the soldier ants outside are fighting while the worker ants inside are working hard to produce.

Such an efficient but brain-burning operating system actually tests the capabilities of the core units.

Fortunately, the Reaper Queen can still hold on at this moment. Whether it is the naval battle outside or the deployment of various personnel inside, it has managed to maintain order.

At this moment, the busy worker ants suddenly noticed an unusual air flow. They stopped their work and turned to look up.

But before they realized what was happening, they saw a group of giant warriors armed with chainsaw swords appearing in their own airport!
They were the warriors of the Astartes' ace vanguard led by V.

At this moment, the worker ants wearing biological exoskeletons were stunned when they saw the group of Astartes warriors, as if their brains had crashed.

In fact, the normal form of the Reaper is quite deformed and weird. It is a standard "big-headed baby" with many tentacles on its body, and most of its nutrition is in its brain.

That is why they need to be equipped with biological exoskeletons at all times to assist them in production and combat.

However, the exoskeletons used by the Harvester's worker and soldier ants have basically no defensive capabilities and cannot withstand any explosions or shock waves.

The reason why V was able to easily kill the soldier ants and clear the enemies in the landing area was because the combat capabilities of these Reapers were really worrying.

In terms of individual combat capabilities, these underdeveloped soldier ants may not even be able to defeat ordinary adult humans.

Of course, these soldier ants have the ability to invade through brain waves and can manipulate the human brain for control.

But the power armor worn by V can block the influence of the Reaper's brain waves, which is equivalent to immunity to the enemy's mental attacks.

Just as the worker ants were in a daze and sending messages back to the queen, V raised his knife and killed the worker ants in front of him.

At the same time, a large number of Astartes warriors around him made the same move as V.

Swung by the warriors, the chainsaw swords quickly broke through the bodies of the reapers, and emerald green blood and muscle tissue burst out and flowed at the same time.

Under the escort of several soldiers, the engineering team led by Song Zhaomei has left the cabin and followed closely behind V.

"go!"

After executing the Reaper that blocked his way, V immediately gave orders to the soldiers around him through the voice communication on his helmet.

Then walk towards the airport entrance.

This Astartes vanguard followed their usual tactical positioning, standing on the left and right sides of V while keeping a distance from each other.

The overall formation was in the shape of an arrow, moving forward, while Song Zhaomei and her group of engineers followed closely behind, surrounded and guarded by soldiers.

Before long, the group arrived at the internal passage of the giant building.

According to the feedback from the dedicated pulse scanner, the layout structure of the entire building began to be quickly constructed in the form of 3D images and appeared on the holographic screens of the soldiers.

When Song Zhaomei saw that this giant building alone had millions of worker ants, she was shocked but also secretly delighted.

With so many heretics, how much electricity would that generate?
You know, the number of soldier ants and worker ants in this Harvester mothership exceeds 20 billion, even approaching 30 billion.

In the last "Pacific Rim" battle, the global giant corporation used a large amount of Scorpion Tailed Lion virus for the sake of convenience.

As a result, the pioneers, who also numbered in the billions, were all annihilated and ended up being extinct.

Song Zhaomei was the saddest person when she heard the news, because these great power generation materials were just wasted!

But now, after they have taken control of the Harvester's command center, they can keep all the billions of Harvester soldier ants and worker ants to generate electricity!

With so many additional power-generating materials out of thin air, the Matrix can produce more AIs.

With AI for mind control, more clones, replicants, and robots could further increase production.

The number of free labor in the world's giant companies can also continue to expand and increase.

At this moment, Song Zhaomei had only one thought in her mind:
“Generate electricity!”

"Use them all to generate electricity!"
