Chapter 274: Entering the Solar System! Missionaries! Human Archon!
"very good."

Leon nodded, then raised his hand and looked through the list Lucy sent. After a quick glance, he continued:

"Send us the troop deployment information of the frontline base on Harvest Star."

As the first base taken by the Universal Corporation in the Halo universe, Harvest has basically become the core hub of the Corporation here.

Whether it is the UNSC dealing with Earth, the Prophets of the Covenant, or the human rebels, most of the large forces basically set out from here.

Immediately after receiving the order, Lucy sent the relevant information to Leon, "Our current total troop strength is approximately 78."

"The number of ships is 1367, and another 369 are in the process of being produced."

"In the next two weeks, the troop strength will continue to expand to about 86, of which the number of clone troops will be about 12."

The current Universal Corporation is almost fighting on three fronts, dealing with the problems of the Covenant, the Rebels and the UNSC at the same time. Currently, the battle on the Covenant side consumes the most manpower.

The situation with the rebels and humans is fine, but with the surrender of the UNSC naval forces, Leon must send a large number of manpower as soon as possible to take over the Earth.

"it is good."

Leon nodded, and then gave Lucy an order:

"Now notify the frontline base on Planet Harvest to organize 80% of the troops into three fleets and march to the solar system immediately. Don't forget to bring the engineering team along as well."

Since the UNSC's Earth fleet has decided to surrender, it will take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold on the Halo Earth.

Marching into the solar system at this time is equivalent to the emperor entering Chang'an and the return of mankind to its rightful place. Its political significance is very important!

"In addition, order the Shield World Core Base to dispatch three more Sojourner Dreadnoughts to the solar system as quickly as possible to cooperate with our fleet in entering the solar system."

Li Ang added another sentence.

An important prerequisite for accepting the enemy's surrender is that one's own military capabilities must keep up with or even surpass the enemy, so that one can accept the surrender with peace of mind.

Otherwise, it would be easy to get out of control. A strong naval force is the basic basis to ensure the transfer of political and military power.

"Good boss!"

After receiving the order, Lucy immediately conveyed the above instructions to various departments of the giant company.

After completing this series of plans and deployments, Li Ang finally felt relieved.

According to the current situation, the integration progress of the Universal Corporation in the Halo universe has basically come to an end.

What we need to do next is to advance steadily and slowly consume the territories of various camps and transform them into the rear base of the giant enterprise.

This is the first time that the Universal Corporation has achieved a major leap forward since the opening of the stargate. In terms of naval forces, there are talent reinforcements from the UNSC and the Sojourner Dreadnoughts from the Shield World.

Including the Covenant’s naval forces and a large number of Long Night aircraft carriers!

In terms of territorial expansion, the Covenant controls more than half of the Milky Way, plus a large number of human colonies; these are all assets of the giant corporations!

According to the system's corporate currency settlement system, this time Leon can at least unlock two templates in one go and build two giant structures.

If the current situation continues to develop, it won’t be long before we can transcend the world, ascend to become a god, and control the laws of physics!
However, now is not the time for Leon to open the champagne at halftime. After all, there are still remnants of the Flood in the Halo universe, as well as the leaders of the Forerunner civilization's warrior class - the missionaries.

Today, the biotechnology department of the giant company has developed a modified Scorpion Tailed Lion virus specifically for the Flood, so there is no need to be afraid of the Flood problem.

But the missionary is different, he is a very powerful and ruthless character.

The missionary's real name is Star-Splitting Shadow. This second-year name also represents his ups and downs in life like the protagonist, a war master like the "God of Killing Bai Qi" of the Forerunner civilization.

It is 4 meters tall and weighs 360 kilograms. It has a sturdy body and strong fighting ability, but the missionary is not only good at fighting, but also good at war.

As the Grand Marshal of the Forerunner Legion, the Didact has rich combat experience. In the war to exterminate ancient humans, he has used his unique tactic "planetary frog leap" many times, making the ancient humans cry for help.

Eventually, he helped the Forerunner civilization destroy the ancient humans and successfully ascended the throne as the leader of the Halo universe!
This so-called planetary leapfrog tactic, in simple terms, is to attack the opponent's vital points.

Burning food supplies, cutting off transportation hubs, sniping the core leaders of ancient humans, and attacking important production bases, the pioneer troops led by missionaries specialized in this kind of repeated and interspersed attack tactics.

But such a genius who was well versed in space and interstellar military tactics was ostracized and ignored by the group of great architects during the Flood War.

Because with the development of the times, the class of architects within the Forerunners has risen rapidly. They advocate science and truth, and have built various powerful technological weapons and megastructures for the Forerunners.

Regarding the plan to deal with the Flood, unlike the missionaries who mainly advocated relying on war to deal with the Flood, the architects proposed building independent small celestial bodies such as shield worlds as shelters.

Recreate the Halo device, destroy other civilized species, help them restart with one click, and rebuild their homes after the Flood is completely destroyed.

Based on the selfish principle of "a friend's death would rather die than myself", this unethical method instantly received strong support from the Forerunner Council. After all, no one wants to let their own children be used as cannon fodder.

But other people’s can!

The missionary, who had always been the focus of attention, ran to the tomb of Anquiem in despair after seeing that he had become a passerby, and decided to live out his life there.

Requiem is the first Shield World 0001 created by the Forerunners. The subsequent Shield World 0459 is a large celestial body built based on the improvement of Requiem.

As a celestial structure during the first Flood War, Requiem is also the core base of the Prometheus Legion and the front line of defense on the battlefield.

The reason why the missionaries chose to live on Anqu Star for a long time was also because they had the heroic idea of ​​sacrificing their lives for their people and dying on the battlefield.

But things often develop in such a dramatic way.

All the Forerunners who were hiding in the safest rear area, the Shield World, were killed.

The missionary, a pioneer warrior who fought against the Flood in the most dangerous military fortress, unexpectedly survived to this day!
But what made the missionaries most upset was that it was locked in a safe like a tomb and couldn't get out!
It turned out that the chief think tank who controlled the pioneer think tank device locked the tomb before leaving so that the missionary could reflect on his mistakes on Requiem.

But since the Halo was launched, the head of the think tank has disappeared. Some say it is dead, while others say it is still alive.

No matter which outcome it is, the missionary locked in the tomb can no longer hold on and can only choose to sleep in the darkness and loneliness, waiting to be awakened by the destined person.

However, before entering the tomb, the missionary actually had a conversation with Yuan Ji Laoden.

During that conversation, Yuanji intensified the missionaries' hatred towards humans through professional brainwashing and deception.

However, hatred aside, after learning about all that Yuanji Laodeng had done, it still personally helped Yuanji to be freed and sent Laodeng to heaven.

As for the method of killing the primordial Lao Deng, it was also quite special. That was to activate the stasis cage that sealed the primordial, accelerating the rate of entropy increase inside, causing the primordial to age rapidly.

Finally, the body collapsed, the head cracked, the body turned into powder, and completely disappeared.

This so-called stasis cage is actually a "happy hut" built by ancient humans specifically for Protozoa.

Its function is to put the time of a specific object into a nearly static state, which can greatly slow down the process of life and the consumption of activities.

The reason why the primordia can have an incredible lifespan that ignores the increase of entropy and is called the immortal is due to the existence of this happy hut.

As for why ancient humans would create such a miraculous stasis cage device for the primordium, Li Ang knew it without having to think about it.

Most likely, it was the Primordia who deceived the ancient humans, saying that the house deeds of the Halo universe were signed with the names of the ancient humans and that the forerunners had no share.

The ancient humans only needed to be good filial sons and grandsons and serve themselves. Unexpectedly, the forerunners actually crushed the ancient humans and forcibly occupied the ancestral home. The captured Primordial Laoden was no longer happy.

That’s how a bunch of messy things happened later.

After committing crimes such as leading the Flood War and instigating the Forerunner AI Biased Monk to rebel, the Missionary activated the acceleration button of the "Happy House" and pushed the entropy increase to the maximum.

The body of the original gene Laoden was destroyed alive, and he died of old age in the blink of an eye.

However, how could an ancient pioneer as smart as Primordial not leave a way out for himself?

In fact, the primordium had already packaged and compressed all of its genetic codes, memory data, and consciousness information, and uploaded them to the genetic program of each Flood spore.

As long as the flood forms a tendency to flood, the corpse-brain beasts that form it will one day awaken the consciousness of the primordial element, and by then, it will be the day when the primordial element will be reborn in the dirty world!
This is the fundamental reason why the Biotechnology Department of the Global Giant Corporation has never made any progress in studying the Flood gene.

The Flood is the pinnacle of the Primordial, its creation that enables it to "resurrect from the dead". Once the Flood defeats the Forerunners, it will be the biggest winner.

If the giant companies want to fully understand the Flood virus, they must rely on the information in the think tank and comprehend the supreme skill [neurophysics].

After sorting out all the information about key figures such as the missionary, the orogeny, and the think tank chief, Leon prepared to send out a capable general to kill the missionary personally.

There was no way. The missionaries had been brainwashed by the primordial forces and had become disgusted with the human species. There was no possibility of peace talks, not to mention the "morning grumpiness" of hundreds of thousands of years.

Once it goes to Requiem and awakens the Didact, if it doesn't kill him quickly, it will be its turn to kill the people from the Megacorp!

Finally, there is the portal located in the Mombasa region of Earth.

At this moment, Leon has sent people to Mombasa to find the portal device. As long as the portal is opened, they can immediately go to the outskirts of the Milky Way and get the Ark device with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers for free.

By then, the entire giant enterprise in the universe will be able to "send people to the west" with just one click when establishing the defense line of the universe in the future and eliminating evil species in other universes!
You know, Ark is able to build halos in batches, and it only takes a few planets to build a heaven-defying device.

The superluminal cross-phase pulse waves released by the halo can destroy all intelligent life within the killing range in an instant, with galaxies as the unit of distance!

Such an abnormally powerful giant lethal weapon looks harmless to humans and animals. If you don’t know, you might think it is some beautiful device.

After the mission in the Halo universe is completed, Leon will immediately reward each civilization member of the universal trade circle with a free "Big Halo".

Including the members of the civilization that later joined the global trade circle, each person also received one, and the giant company provided permanent warranty and free replacement of parts!
If any member of the trade circle is so blind as to act like a traitor and backstab someone, Li Ang can activate his halo in a minute and teach these bastards a lesson.

It is obvious that the strategic value of the Ark and Halo, from a practical perspective, is actually greater than the "Quantum Slingshot" megastructure that Le Ang wants!

This time, Le Ang had a blast treasure hunting in the dungeon. The Halo universe is full of top-notch megastructures and treasures!
"Boss, do you have any other instructions now?"

At this time, seeing that Leon remained silent, Lucy on the other side couldn't help but ask.

As the secretary general of a giant company, Lucy was no longer surprised by Leon's habit of often being in a daze and lost in thought alone.

After all, people with a long-term vision and deep thoughts always need to think alone. In Lucy's eyes, the silent Leon has a unique spirit and charm.

"Get ready, we are heading to the 004 Halo universe immediately."

Le Ang came back to his senses, turned around and walked towards the observation deck of the base. Looking at the star gate not far away, he couldn't wait to enter the solar system and become the human archon of the Halo universe!
……

……

half a month later.

Halo universe, solar system, earth!

Looking at the still blue mother planet Earth from the star field tens of thousands of kilometers away from the earth's surface, everything is so beautiful and pure.

At this moment, in the defense array with many super electromagnetic accelerators, most of the devices have been parked and are just hanging in low-Earth orbit.

Ever since the UNSC's naval forces took the initiative to surrender to the Universal Corporation, the soldiers on the defense line have resigned one after another and are waiting for the Corporation's troops to come and inspect them.

They are also waiting for the giant companies to distribute new work clothes and work for their new employers.

However, daily civilian cargo ships and cruise ships still need to operate normally, and frequent jump voyages will not suddenly stop on a large scale due to changes in dynasties.

After all, changes in the ecological environment of the upper class have no actual impact on the nature of work at the grassroots level, and it doesn’t matter who you work for.

At this moment, among the numerous military warships, the most eye-catching ones must be the four Sojourner dreadnoughts of the giant enterprise.

These four 10-kilometer-long super battleships are giants among the UNSC’s naval ships.

Thanks to these four battleships that are like treasures of the army, the integration progress of the world giant in the solar system can be said to be smooth sailing.

Just after Leon issued the order to take over the solar system, within less than a week, troops from the Harvest Star and Shield World Base quickly arrived in the solar system and took charge of military affairs here.

The UNSC troops that were originally hesitant, or the ambitious ones who were ready to take action, suddenly lost the idea of ​​resistance after seeing the arrival of the giant corporate navy.

There is no way, the Earth is the capital of human civilization.

Now that the Earth has become a possession of giant corporations, it doesn't make much sense for them to continue to resist by relying on colonies in other galaxies.

They still understand that the arm cannot twist the thigh.

Anyway, the Universe Corporation is also a human force. If the meat is rotten in the pot, it won't be given to others. Unless those bastards from the Star Alliance come, the humans in the solar system will fight back desperately.

Therefore, faced with the giant company's recruitment, the local humans had basically no resistance and naturally accepted the new regime change.

During this period, in order to develop a portal device to the Ark, the global giant continued to transport a large number of personnel, materials, and various equipment to the Mombasa area.

The first thing to do is to build a front-line base to improve the efficiency of coordination and management.

The next step is to deploy clone soldiers and Megacorp's armed forces in various parts of the Earth to ensure that Megacorp has sufficient manpower on the ground.

Among them, the clone soldiers are a new generation of clones developed by the core team of the Biotechnology Department.

Under the control of the large collective nervous system, they can think flexibly and analyze changes in things like real people, while also having a unified ideological tendency.

This group of clone soldiers can completely replace real-life troops and complete various tasks well.

In addition, giant companies have also issued recruitment notices around the world, introducing talents for various departments, and posted various job requirements for building new homes.

The staff of the Engineering Department are also using a large number of Hextech robots to quickly build various large-scale facilities in the Mombasa area to facilitate the deployment of subsequent troops.

On the streets of various places on Earth, fully armed clone soldiers patrol closely and maintain daily public order to avoid riots.

After all, this is a special and critical period, and giant companies still need to be wary of the remnants of the UNSC or the rebels who may take advantage of the situation and come to cause sabotage.

Of course, the UNSC Marines who have surrendered to the giant company cannot just eat for free.

After receiving subsidies and benefits from the giant corporation, they will also follow the giant corporation's troops to maintain law and order, but the UNSC officers will be replaced by giant corporation personnel.

In addition, every large city's security office would have a dozen Astartes warriors in the trainee stage, as well as several warriors from elite tribes serving as guards.

As for the core elite troops of the giant enterprise, they all gathered in the Mombasa area, patiently waiting for the moment when the portal would open.
