Chapter 225: Battle Settlement! 20 Billion Power Generation Materials! Huge Profits!

When the energy artillery group swept through the air and smashed the transport boat in front of it into pieces, the Reaper Queen was also knocked down by the powerful shock wave.

It looked at itself with a little surprise, and realized that its energy shield device had failed due to Song Zhaomei's virus invasion.

The queen immediately let out a series of unwilling and sad roars.

The command center of the Reaper mothership fell, the network system was completely paralyzed, the transport boat used for escape was blown up, and now even the energy shield that protected itself has failed.

At this time, the Reaper Queen, whose body was pinned down by the wreckage of many machines, began to push away the things on her body and climbed out of the ruins.

It roared angrily at the Astartes warriors in the sky and commanded the soldier ants below to attack the enemy.

But no matter how furious the Reaper Queen was, she could only flee in panic at this moment. Since this transport boat was blown up, the worst that could happen was to replace it with another one.

Without the protection of the energy shield, the queen is actually just a larger harvester soldier ant. Her attack power is a bit stronger, but so what.

Its size and threat level are equivalent to those of a small or medium-sized Kaiju, and it is even weaker than the Kaiju of the Pioneer Civilization!

With this ability, there is no way you can challenge the Astartes warriors.

The Harvester Queen, under the protection of many soldier ants, rushed to the docking port and selected another ship to escape.

But before it could go far, a shadow passed by and landed directly above the queen's head.

That man was David Martinez wearing the Hulkbuster armor!

Immediately, accompanied by a "pop" sound, the matrix access device in David's hand approached the brain of the Reaper Queen.

Suddenly, neural tentacles extended from the interface and inserted straight into the queen's brain. The whole process was completed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the queen's body suddenly stiffened, as if her soul had been forcibly taken away by something, leaving only an empty shell.

boom--!
From beginning to end, the Reaper Queen didn't even see David before she fell to the ground.

The soldier ants and worker ants beside it seemed as if their wires were pulled out. A feeling of stiffness passed through them, and all the soldier ants and worker ants became motionless.

Only a few soldier ants would twitch slightly.

Now, the Universal Corporation has completely ended this interstellar war that concerns human civilization. The whole process lasted nearly two days.

But for the giant corporate warriors who participated in this battle, it was like a satisfying dream. Now they are awake, and humanity has won the victory!

……

……

at the same time.

Far away in the main universe, on the central control panel of the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base.

Thousands of staff members are sitting in front of their respective control consoles, receiving various information from the front-line bases and handling various matters on the front line.

Everyone is doing their best to provide timely assistance to the giant company's fleet.

Thanks to the superluminal communication technology developed from the pseudo-"Omega", even across the distance of a parallel universe.

The staff here can also receive information from the front line at the first time.

Li Ang can also receive messages in a timely manner and give a series of feedback and issue instructions in a timely manner.

Although the situation of this interstellar battle has basically stabilized, the atmosphere in the command center is still quite solemn.

They dare not relax or slack off until they have achieved complete and comprehensive victory.

At this moment, a communications officer sitting in front of the console suddenly stood up and reported excitedly:
"boss!"

"According to the battle report from the front, the commando team has successfully controlled the Reaper Queen."

"All the harvester soldier ants and worker ants have lost their unified command and have fallen into a state of stillness and twitching. We have won!"

As soon as the words fell, all the employees in the command center suddenly relaxed their long-stretched nerves.

However, they did not cheer out loud to express their joy, but instead all turned their eyes to Li Ang on the center console.

These employees are waiting for Li Ang's next instructions!
Li Ang remained calm as always. After listening to the report, he nodded slowly and then gave the order:

"Notify the engineering team and have them control the Reaper mothership to rush to the vicinity of Earth 003's lunar base and repair the damaged mothership."

"Order the frontline combatants to take over all the soldier ants and worker ants on the mothership and transport them all to the power plant in Ideal City!"

Li Ang's idea is exactly the same as Song Zhaomei's, which is to take this large number of alien captives to the power plant to be used as consumables to produce more AI for the giant company.

This is the purpose of maximizing benefits!
In fact, after this interstellar war, neither the Universe Corporation nor the Reaper civilization suffered much loss.

After all, the war lasted less than 32 hours from its beginning to its end, and the queen was "beheaded" before it even entered the real white-hot stage.

The number of soldier ants and worker ants that died in the Harvester mothership was at most a few million, and estimated to be less than 10 million.

This amount of numbers is not a big deal among a population of more than 20 billion Harvesters, and they can be replenished in minutes.

When the strength of the two civilizations is similar, a long tug-of-war is most likely to occur, which may last for decades or even hundreds of years.

If that were the case, it would easily result in tens or hundreds of billions of casualties, and the battle of several generations would be wiped out.

For a global giant that is in urgent need of development and accumulation of strength, such a situation is absolutely a catastrophe and the worst outcome.

Fortunately, Li Ang had made sufficient preparations from the beginning, and the decisions he made were quite clear and decisive.

This interstellar battle, which could have lasted for several years or even more than ten years, was settled in less than two days.

And for the world's giant companies, these more than 20 billion harvester bugs are all excellent raw materials for power generation!
In addition, this group of harvesters is just the vanguard, and the main force behind them has not yet arrived.

But their queen has been controlled by Leon's matrix. The next giant enterprise will not only be able to receive a minimum of 50 billion Harvesters.

You can also get a large colony!

Thanks to the timely delivery of resources by these enthusiastic “alien friends”.

Leon's 001 and 002 Earth reconstruction plans, megastructure construction, and expansion of solar system colonization can be carried out simultaneously!

Big construction, today!!

"Also, notify all departments to prepare and clean up the Reaper mothership and the interstellar battlefield."

"I don't want any heretic bastard to dare to escape from the solar system of 003 Earth on any spacecraft in front of me."

"You must search and seal off that battlefield star region carefully!"

Even in the face of the massive amount of resources and spoils that were about to come, Leon remained cautious and careful enough.

Although the queen of the Reaper civilization was arrested, there is a chance that one of them would escape on a spaceship and tip off the Reaper base.

Li Ang would never allow any sign of this kind of ridiculous plot that only appeared in cheesy movies to appear.

Therefore, he must ensure that the battlefield is under full control and any invading enemies are controlled by the forces of the Universal Corporation!

"Yes!"

The staff below responded in unison.

"Everyone, I know that the victory of this Independence Day campaign is a historic moment for our global giant and human civilization."

"I know you are very excited, but now is far from the time to let your guard down."

Li Ang looked at the people under the center console and said earnestly, "The most deadly danger often comes from the moment of laxity."

"Now I require you to immediately dispatch more troops to Earth 003 to cooperate with the fleet there to clean up the battlefield and compile a detailed list of casualties."

"After the verification is completed, arrange the payment of pensions and assistance immediately!" Whether it is an interstellar war or an ordinary cold weapon war, it is essentially a battle of resource consumption. The so-called strategies and tactics are all based on soldiers and food.

It is impossible to fight a war successfully without the soldiers working hard and without sufficient logistical resources.

If we want to gain more support, we must not lack in pensions for soldiers who die in battle and in the treatment of their families.

"Yes!"

After receiving Li Ang's precise instructions, all employees relaxed a little and continued to focus on their work at hand.

Help the fleet on the front line complete personnel deployment and clean up the battlefield.

Li Ang turned back to the center console and turned off most of the holographic screens, leaving only a few key data graphs.

Looking at the relevant information about the Reaper mothership, the Reaper Queen and the Reaper civilization, he fell into deep thought.

The densely packed details on the screen were all precious data that Leon had dug out from the Queen's memory database through the matrix and imported into the headquarters.

Through these materials, Leon has fully understood the origin of the Reaper civilization, its position in the Milky Way, and the ecological environment of the universe.

The bad news is that the Reaper civilization is still just a "wanderer" wandering around the edge of the Milky Way, harvesting other civilizations everywhere.

They are not considered high-end civilization players, and there may be many civilizations that are stronger than the Reapers.

But the good news is that the Harvester civilization is not weak. After long years of colonization, they have accumulated a considerable fortune.

At least it was far beyond Li Ang's imagination!!

"I never thought that there would be such a rich man in the small 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe. He's going to get rich now."

Looking at the star map of the Harvester forces and the marked colonies on the holographic screen, Leon was so happy that he grinned like a "Dragon King".

Compared to the poor Pioneer civilization in "Pacific Rim", the Reaper civilization here can be said to be rich, and its influence spans multiple galaxies.

It would probably take decades or even hundreds of years for the giant corporations to completely take over these forces and resource planets.

"Fortunately, we didn't kill the Reaper Queen, otherwise it would be difficult to take over these civilization heritages!"

Le Ang smiled. Thanks to the Matrix, he was able to control the entire Harvester civilization so smoothly, and thus gain control of a large amount of that civilization's resources and territory.

After this wave of battles, we really made a lot of money!
Waging a war is just a means and has never been the goal of the global giant enterprise. Quickly accumulating the first pot of gold and expanding the power of the giant enterprise are Le Ang’s top priority.

Only by establishing the largest enterprise that spans the universe and monopolizes countless worlds as soon as possible, will Li Ang be qualified to lead human civilization and join the high-end civilization game.

Only when you can defeat all the truly advanced civilizations can you be truly "stable"!

But now, what makes Leon happiest is the territory, resources, and free power generation materials provided by the Harvester.

Not only can he obtain a large amount of corporate currency value, but he can also have sufficient labor to rebuild 001 "Netherworld" Earth and 002 "Pacific Rim" Earth in a short period of time.

And the humans on these two Earths are expected to be able to usher in an era of interstellar colonization, just like the Earth in 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" in a few years.

Build a lunar base, blast stars, mine, and establish frontline outposts to conquer the solar system!

In addition, Leon even has enough energy to build the ring world and the upcoming War Moon.

With these two giant buildings, the global giant enterprise is one step closer to take-off!

……

003 Earth, the battlefield star field of "Independence Day".

"Hello everyone, I am your old friend Jillian Jordan, welcome to today's "N54 News."

"See the remains of the battlefield behind me? This is the scene of the interstellar battle codenamed 'Independence Day'. There are scattered wreckage and countless body fragments everywhere."

"Of course, most of them are the bodies of the Reaper Soldier Ants. The casualties of the Universal Corporation's troops this time are quite low, even less than 1%!"

Through Gillian's narration, humans from all over the universe and the earth also learned the detailed situation of this war.

"I believe that viewers who have followed this news report have already known that two days ago, when we were observing the lunar base, a sudden attack by the Reaper civilization occurred."

"We were supposed to take a cruiser to look around the lunar base, but something unexpected happened, so we had to hide in the cruiser for two days."

"Thanks to the powerful fleet of the Universal Corporation, in just over 30 hours, the Reaper civilization was defeated and the human civilization here was saved."

"According to existing data, the technological resources on the Reaper motherships and their colonies will bring about a huge increase in productivity and social welfare for giant companies and humans!"

"Now please follow our reporter's perspective and take a look at the remains of this war and the Reaper's mothership."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cameraman turned the live camera towards the window on the observation deck.

At this moment, under Song Zhaomei's program control, the Harvester mothership is slowly docking near the lunar base and is expected to stabilize in three hours.

"See that huge thing? It's the mothership of the Reaper civilization, the invading ship of this interstellar war!"

By comparing it closely with the moon and having a corresponding reference object, human audiences from all over the Earth were able to roughly feel how magnificent the scale of the Reaper mothership is.

From a visual perspective, the mothership with a diameter of 800 kilometers even vaguely seems to overwhelm the moon with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers!
"In addition, according to reliable information obtained by this station, the research team of the Universal Corporation has taken over all the technology points of the Reapers."

"At the same time, the fleet from the Utopia City in the main universe has entered Earth 003 at full speed and is about to pick up more than 20 billion Reaper captives on the Reaper mothership."

"Although we don't know for the time being where these alien captives will be used, I believe that the giant company will not waste these labor resources in vain."

"Okay, in the next few days, we will take this cruiser and circle the ruins of the battlefield to see the traces left by this war!"

"..."

After she finished speaking, Jillian turned around and left space for the camera.

Although this wave of invasion by the Reaper civilization brought some trouble to the world's giant companies, Gillian unexpectedly became the biggest winner among many media reporters.

Watching the fleet array of the Cosmic Corporation and a large number of Astartes warriors engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Reaper's soldier ants is much more exciting than watching the construction of a ring world!

Stanley, the top reporter of the Global Times, was dozens of times more popular than Gillian in this report.

But this is true. After all, this is the first time that a giant corporation in the universe has participated in an interstellar war, and there is a thrilling battle on one side.

On one side is the dull and boring construction of a megastructure. As ordinary people who just watch the show, of course they would choose to watch the fleet of the giant enterprise fight against the enemy and watch the soldiers fight to the death with the enemy!

And by coincidence, Gillian Jordan became the resident gold medal reporter and host of 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" on Earth.

The media awards she received and the praise from people from all walks of life made N54 News frequently appear on the front page.

Taking advantage of the fact that the war is over, Gillian decided to continue reporting the news tirelessly in this final stage to make up for the last bit of heat.

At this moment, the deep space and star field battlefield were still filled with deadly energy balls and shattered aircraft.

Now it has returned to darkness and silence, with only groups of medium-sized ships clearing the waste and busy small reconnaissance fighters left.

But even through a thick layer of glass, standing in the cabin, Gillian could still vaguely smell the pungent smell of gunpowder.

However, she did not dislike the smell of danger and death. On the contrary, Jillian enjoyed this charming smell very much.

This devastating interstellar war to protect human civilization has ended, but the hearts of countless people are still noisy and boiling.

After tasting the sweetness of fame and fortune, Gillian also personally experienced the joy similar to that of an Astartes warrior killing the enemy and making meritorious service.

While war brings death, it also nurtures the ambitions of countless people, satisfies the desires of countless people, and makes them enjoy it.
