Chapter 256: Halak! Layout! Justification! The momentum of setting the field ablaze!

Ideal City, the headquarters of the All Worlds Base!

"Boss, Reed, Jack and the others have already followed Morami and the others into the jump space. They are expected to arrive at the City of Brotherly Love in 72 hours."

The "staff" who spoke was none other than Leon's second-in-command AI, Loki. It had now become one of Leon's personal assistant AIs, primarily responsible for reporting on these basic affairs.

And preside over the AI ​​Parliament, win over and control other intelligent AIs, and make them work for giant companies.

As for the previous AI White Queen, it is currently focusing on protecting the network system of Universal City to prevent it from being attacked by hackers and causing communication chaos.

The Red Queen is responsible for monitoring the information of all departments of the entire Universal Corporation. If there is any disturbance, Leon will be informed of the situation at the first time.

Li Ang would usually turn a blind eye to the harmless corruption, secret collusion, and factional attacks, and just sit back and watch the people fighting each other.

But when it comes to matters of principle, he will immediately send someone to erase any traces, as if the perpetrator and what happened had never existed.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Even in the most politically transparent environment, there will inevitably be filth and dregs. As an executive of a giant company, Li Ang only needs to be aware of this.

After listening to AI Loki's report, Leon, who was sitting at his desk, nodded thoughtfully and responded:
"okay, I get it."

Li Ang is relatively confident about the combination of Reed and Jack Wells.

Jack is a good fighter and a good charger, and is an Astartes warrior who has the potential to become the second Primaris. Reed is a veteran in the workplace, having worked his way up from the former Joint Intelligence Bureau to the second-in-command of the Ace Advance Team.

It is certainly impossible to say that he has no political intelligence.

Sending these two people on this trip is equivalent to Liu Bei assigning Fa Zheng to Guan Yu to go on a business trip to Jingzhou.

The two of them have similar job levels and can make up for each other's shortcomings. They can discuss everything and avoid delays.

After instructing AI Loki to send a reminder to Reed, Leon continued to browse the situations in other universes.

After a while, according to the latest reports from V and other executives, the development of each universe and the external environment were normal, and no abnormal incidents occurred.

After heaving a sigh of relief and feeling thankful that nothing happened, Li Ang cleared the mess of read messages on the screen and clicked to check a new email.

【Job report of engineer Harak】

The so-called Halak is actually a kind of intelligent biological machine that David had previously searched out from the Covenant's scientific expedition fleet. It has the ability to self-repair and self-replicate.

"Halak" means "artificial genius" in Latin. This intelligent species is a semi-mechanical, semi-organic nano-tech creature created by the forerunners to maintain their own technological devices.

However, although the Halakhs are only semi-mechanical creations, their social status is not low. In the hierarchy of the Forerunners, the Halakhs have the same status as citizens and are protected by law.

At the top of the Pioneer social class are the "architects", and Halak is the architects' assistant, equivalent to an "apprentice" who helps them.

And the Halak can indeed be called a chosen worker. They are extremely patient in dealing with everything and are easy to tame. They do not like to communicate with other species and focus only on their work.

Hardworking, a homebody, with no personal social circle, and all about work, he won't delay the progress of the business due to personal matters. Isn't this the "worker" that every boss dreams of!

Such high-quality chosen workers are absolutely popular no matter in which civilization or era.

And that's exactly what happened.

The Halaks who survived the Flood War immediately demonstrated their excellent professional capabilities after being discovered by the Covenant fleet.

This made the prophets, who loved talent, very happy. They immediately appointed these Halaks as the chief engineers of the Covenant, responsible for scientific research and maintenance of the Forerunners' equipment and warships.

In addition, archaeologists have unearthed various scientific and technological information, precious pioneer artifacts, and technological devices from the remains of the pioneers in various places.

This is the advantage of being a craftsman. You will never lack for food even if you live forever, and every force treats you as a treasure.

And it is precisely because of Halabi's quality as a high-quality worker that the prophet, who is accustomed to being a non-human, is afraid that Halabi will suddenly jump ship and work for other forces.

Therefore, the prophet, with the morbid mentality that since he couldn't get it, no one else could get it, forced a suicide bomb into Halabi's body.

It is precisely because of such pathological behavior that Halabi has developed a resistance to the Prophet clan, even though he has to work 24 hours a day for free.

Putting suicide bombs in their bodies? Isn't this pure animal behavior!

Although the harabis are a bit of a nerd, they are not stupid, so when faced with the recruitment invitation from a global giant, they agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

I can't wait to get started and start working for a huge company.

As for such high-quality workers, there are a total of 60 Harabi engineers in the scientific expedition fleet sent by the Star Alliance this time.

Their main tasks are to ensure the normal operation of the warship's engine and shield generator device, as well as to excavate and analyze information from ground ruins.

Thirty of them have already entered the jump space with Morami's fleet and returned to the Star Alliance's capital, High Charity.

As for the remaining half, they stayed in the core area of ​​the Shield World and accepted unified job arrangements from the global giant company.

With such a rare species resource, Li Ang of course decided to use this group of Harabi engineers in the scientific hub department and the engineering department.

Part of it is used to assist the scientific research department's technological breakthroughs and research and development process, and part of it is used to specifically maintain the Sojourner Dreadnought and help decipher and replicate the pioneers' scientific and technological achievements.

Only by matching professional skills can we avoid wasting talent resources.

After replying to all the emails, Leon took Secretary-General Lucy on a shuttle, flew through the star gate, and arrived above the core area of ​​the Shield World.

He looked down at this magnificent celestial world, watching the light of the artificial sun shining through the hard light material, making the entire shield world's structure emit a dazzling glow.

During these three months, the construction of the Shield World has never stopped.

As many as 32 large shipyards are assembling and welding warships of various levels in an orderly manner.

Countless Hextech robots and Templar Defenders circulate in the shipyards, assisting the robotic arms on the assembly lines in their work.

After signing the Recycler Identification Agreement with the [031 Passionate Witness] Forerunner AI, Leon's giant company took over all the Temple Defenders of the Shield World.

Although the Universal Corporation cannot produce an AI as useful as the Temple Defender for a while, the number of ready-made defenders in the Shield World is enough for Leon to build a large number of giant buildings.

This is also why the world's giant companies can produce thousands of warships that are ready for use in just a few months, just like making dumplings.

From aircraft carriers to cruisers and destroyers, we have everything.

As the shuttle flew deeper, Leon saw the warships docked at the shipyard. Due to the fast production speed, the bridge crew, maintenance team, logistics team and other shipboard personnel could not keep up.

So the Transcendental AI Europa has been calculating human resources these days and deploying new employees from other universes into the Shield World.

As for the combat personnel on board, Li Ang doesn't need to worry too much.

After all, the number of armed members of giant companies who have signed formal contracts has reached hundreds of millions. As long as Le Ang is willing, he can mobilize an army of hundreds of millions at any time.

There are countless soldiers in the reserve regiment waiting in line to join the fleet, so there is no need to worry about this problem at all.

It’s just that the logistical resources needed to be allocated to the new recruits do require some preparation time.

Resources such as exoskeleton devices, power armor, various weapons and equipment, carrier-based aircraft, etc., all require the production area of ​​Ideal City to build for one or two months.

There is no way around it. Interstellar wars are fought with logistics and the productivity of a civilization.

Now the factories in the production area of ​​Universal City are basically full, and they cannot sustain any more.

In fact, it makes sense. The factory area in the Ideal City alone can handle most of the production demand orders from various departments in the four universes. This productivity is already quite impressive!
If it weren't for other colonies that continuously supplied cheap raw materials, the global giant corporation would have been unable to sustain such huge expenses long ago.

In terms of the transportation of raw materials and resources, the world's giants not only have a huge trade circle and operate like the United States, but also bleed and squeeze value from their own little brothers.

There are also a full-level material decompressor and a newly created material decompressor. When they catch two black holes, they start to squeeze the ore and extract a steady stream of materials. In this way, Leon can maintain the normal operation of the Universal Giant Enterprise and the development of productivity.

Although the giant cosmic enterprise still has a considerable amount of spare capacity to support Leon to play a big game, such as opening up a new universe or engaging in a massive interstellar war with the Star Alliance.

But Li Ang has a good habit of never betting all his resources on one thing.

Only desperadoes would go all in and play big. After all, for them, if they lose, they can just start over.

But once you win, you will get back all your money with interest.

However, most of the time, there are more gamblers who reach the rooftop by all-in, and there are very few leaders who can snowball through steady operations and accumulate small amounts into large ones.

The larger the force, the more it needs to leave enough redundancy for itself, so that it can cut losses and turn around in time, or leave capital for a comeback.

Regarding the situation in the Halo universe, Leon's strategy is to eat one bite at a time and take one step at a time, otherwise if he takes too big a step, he may get into trouble.

First lay out a series of strategies, and it won’t be too late to make efforts after you have gained a firm foothold.

The prerequisite for speedrunning is to gain the greatest victory at the lowest cost. Relying on war to crush the enemy all the way is the most wasteful and costly decision.

When the cannon is fired, there is a thousand taels of gold.

Leon would rather keep the resources for war on production than start a war easily, so the mission of Reed and Jack this time is quite critical.

The first thing they have to do is to win over the elite groups, gain powerful allies for the giant companies, and cause divisions within the Star Alliance.

When the Star Alliance is in chaos, it will be time for the giant corporations to come out and make the final decision and reap the aftermath.

Of course, the worst-case scenario needs to be considered in everything, so Leon also prepared the most elite Astartes warriors for Reed, Jack and others.

A total of five thousand people!

All of these warriors are equipped with at least two different sets of armor, anti-Hulk armor, various models of MarkX power armor, and the selected weapons also include the most advanced firearms of the giant company.

Just the hard light weapons alone can ensure that everyone has two!

Two ace advance team executives, with five thousand elite Astartes warriors, when the time really comes to fight, this group of armed forces is enough for Reed and Jack to settle the matter.

Settle the chaos in the City of Brotherly Love!

Of course, Leon’s primary goal in sending Reed and Jack was to win over the internal tribes of the Star Alliance and divide their forces.

Instead of launching a decapitation operation right from the start.

That is a last resort that can only be taken when there is no other choice.

After all, once the prophet's high-level officials were killed, it would mean that all avenues for negotiation, winning over and conquering would be completely blocked. At that time, Leon would have to devote his energy and resources to exterminate races such as the ghost-faced beasts.

A situation that could have been wiped out in one fell swoop turned into a long tug-of-war, which would not be cost-effective.

Therefore, the identity of "recycler" designated by the Forerunners needs to be put to good use. It is important to win over the Covenant members who have a fanatical tendency to follow the Forerunners.

When the Star Alliance falls into civil strife, or even falls apart and attacks each other, it is time for Leon to launch an all-out attack and unify the Star Alliance and the human camp at the same time!
Yes, Leon not only has his sights on the Covenant, but also on humans in the Halo universe.

Whether it is the powerful UNSC camp or the human rebel camp that is fighting everywhere, they are all unstable factors and forces that need to be conquered by giant enterprises.

At that time, Leon will send out an advance team to convey the development concepts of "Star Alliance", "Recyclers" and the world's giant enterprises to every human force.

And it requires the UNSC and the rebels to all join the camp of the giant company, so that the three parties can face the outside world in unison and jointly create a better tomorrow.

Of course, the above deployments are definitely useless, but Li Ang did not expect that he could defeat the forces of these two camps without any damage by relying on propaganda.

This is nothing more than a policy of courtesy before force, a reminder to the UNSC and the rebels that those who obey will get candy, while those who disobey will be punished.

If nothing unexpected happens, the UNSC and the rebels will certainly sneer at the Corporation's surrender, and they may even join forces to fight back against the Universal Corporation.

The reason is simple.

The source of power and status has always been bloody, and can only be obtained by defeating the opponent.

For the senior executives of the UNSC, they are the boss and are living a good life, but suddenly a force of unknown origin appears and wants to recruit them as their younger brother. How can they agree to this?

It's as if everyone has a few interstellar aircraft carriers. Why should the UNSC bow down to a giant corporation?
The same is true for the rebels.

They were doing well on the road of rebellion and entrepreneurship. Although the rebel group has not yet gone public, its development potential and prospects are still quite good!
After all, with the UNSC's inhumane operations, every colony has potential development targets and customer sources for the rebels. It is not impossible for them to take off in the market with the help of the powerful in the future.

How could a strange company like Universal Enterprise suddenly come and forcefully acquire us at a bargain price? This is totally unacceptable!

This is exactly what Li Ang wanted to see. He could use this excuse to catch them all in one fell swoop, so that he wouldn't have to go out on a limb and be branded as someone who doesn't follow martial ethics.

If he could defeat the two major human camps just by persuading them to surrender, Li Ang would not be very reassured, as he suspected that the other side was using some torture trick on him.

Back then, the reason why Leon was able to lead his LA company to acquire various cyber giants and disintegrate the arrogant European Community was because of this.

It mainly relies on its absolute crushing ability when other cyber giants are still using the old-fashioned ground troops, AI drones, and AI tanks.

Leon's LA company is already able to produce a behemoth like the Infinity-class aircraft carrier, which will shatter at the slightest touch, so it is naturally easy to persuade executives of other cyber giants to surrender.

But the UNSC and the rebels also have starships. Although there is a gap in size between the two sides, they are not completely unbeatable.

The universe is so big, it's not impossible to run away on a starship, use guerrilla tactics with giant companies, be an interstellar garbage man, and develop your power while picking up equipment.

Therefore, after comprehensive analysis, Leon could guess that the UNSC and the rebels would not easily accept the recruitment of the global giant.

When the UNSC and the rebels start to rebel against the giant corporations and prepare for a war, Leon will first use AI Loki to instruct various intelligent AIs to spread public opinion.

Incite the humans in various colonies, control the direction of public opinion, and spread the gospel of the world's giant corporations.

First plant a seed in the hearts of ordinary people, and when the giant companies win, these seeds will burst into flames and form a raging fire that will spread across the prairie.

For the common people of Goose City, it doesn’t matter who wins between Huang Silang and the county magistrate. What matters is that they only help the winner.

Similarly, as long as Leon crushes the UNSC and the rebel forces with a hearty and overwhelming force, what awaits the world's giant companies is "food and drink to welcome the royal army"!
After letting the people of Goose City see who has a better future to follow, the base of the UNSC and the rebels has been completely tapped.

In addition, the research and development program of the "Spartan-II Warrior" led by Dr. Catherine Halsey has also made some progress.

It is expected that the first batch of mature experimental products will be launched in a year.

If Halsey's original research and development schedule was followed, it would take at least 20 to 30 years, and at least more than ten years, to launch the second generation of Spartan warriors.

But thanks to the scientific research department of the global giant company, which has been researching gene seed technology over the years, it has accumulated relevant technology in human body modification.

Halsey only needed to tweak the orientation and change a few other things to create the Spartan she envisioned.

In fact, this generation of Spartan warriors may be a little stronger than the originally planned second-generation Spartan!
In the public academy founded by the global giant company, Leon also began to recruit a group of talented students, and trained and cultivated them from an early age to become Astartes warriors or Spartan warriors.

The advantage of doing this is that the soldiers undergo rigorous training from a young age, and upon graduation they are young soldiers with full combat effectiveness who can be called upon to serve at any time.

Of course, the Universal Corporation does not need to go around capturing children and forcibly transforming and conducting experiments on them like the UNSC does.

If any child wants to enter the academy of a giant enterprise, they must first obtain permission from their parents and pass multiple levels of assessment before they can enter the Warrior Academy for further study.

However, the second-phase Spartan warrior transformation technology developed by Dr. Halsey this time is not only for children, but can also be used to transform adults.

People like Rita, William Cage and others will have the opportunity to become the first batch of Spartan warriors of the world's giant companies!
