Chapter 282 Supporting the Puppet Sisterhood! The Space Guild!
After calmly weighing the various characteristics and technological information of the "Dune" universe, including a series of power layouts, and the difficulty of completing the integration task.
Li Ang already had a rough plan and the next strategic goals in mind.
First of all, what the Universal Corporation has to do is to support a local puppet force in the Dune universe, no matter which family it is, as long as it can cooperate with the corporation.
This is the same principle as when Leon in the Halo universe first tried to incite the elites in the Star Alliance to rebel and recruit them for his own use. When choosing a guide, you must choose a local person.
This will make it easier to break through one by one and integrate the Dune universe in one fell swoop.
The second step is to take down the sorority, a "gold digger" organization.
Now that the true Emperor of God has arrived here, the sisterhood no longer needs to rely on giving birth to a "savior" to play tricks to drive up the price.
All laid off and transferred to other jobs!
At that time, Li Ang will select a few good sorority members to serve as his own...secretary group.
Usually, he is mainly responsible for in-depth research on the various functions and effects of spices, and then privately teaching some superpowers, such as predicting the future, sound control and other cool skills.
Of course, the sisterhood will not be disbanded, but they will become the eyes and ears of the global giants in another form, monitoring the entire Dune empire.
After thinking for a moment, Leon called out AI Loki and told him to immediately call his core executive team to go to the Night City headquarters for a meeting.
【Yes! 】
After responding to Leon, AI Loki immediately sent out meeting invitations to the heads of each department and dispatched shuttles to pick up and drop off each member.
After giving the order, Li Ang did not immediately go to the conference room to wait for others to come, but continued to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, carefully thinking about the deployment of the overall plan.
In fact, the task of integrating the Dune universe is not too complicated or difficult, but this operation will test Leon's micro-control ability.
After all, in the Dune universe, humans have long become the dominant species in the Milky Way. When civil strife or a war breaks out, hundreds of billions of people can be killed or injured at one time!
This means that the population size of the human empire in the dunes may have reached trillions.
With such a huge population, it would take a lot of grassroots management staff just to manage it.
Therefore, the Universal Corporation certainly cannot use the original corporate system to manage such a huge empire, and it has to be crowned as the God-Emperor!
There is no way. All the people here believe in the savior. If I don't become the emperor, it will be troublesome if the world's giant enterprise regards me as a heretic.
Trillions of humans are enemies of giant corporations. Even if they can be defeated, it will cost the giant corporations a lot of material resources.
Immediately, Li Ang instructed AI Loki again to connect to Song Zhaomei's video communication immediately. He wanted to discuss the plan for ascending the throne of the God Emperor with the head of the strategic department of the giant company!
……
……
half a month later.
Inside a large combat meeting room at the Wanjie Base headquarters.
Ever since Morgan Blackhand went to the 004 "Halo" universe to serve as Star Governor, the position of Head of Operations has been vacant.
Fortunately, the difficulty of this operation was not high, so Leon replaced Solomon Reed and asked him to take over as the director of this operation and coordinate the integration of the Dune universe.
Of course, as the CEO of a giant corporation, Leon would definitely be in charge at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base whenever a new instance was opened or a new universe was integrated.
This time is no exception.
Li Ang sat at the other end of the conference room, and he and the other officers looked at Li De on the stage and the holographic screen marked with various information.
At this moment, Li De, with his expression as solemn as ever and a little bit of bitterness, glanced at the officers sitting below.
Then, he used the holographic projector behind him to play the relevant images and videos, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, the 005 universe that is opened this time is codenamed Dune, but the environment where the star gate is opened this time is the dark deep space of the universe."
"In the absence of a ground base, we can only send out an advance fleet to patrol and explore the surrounding environment."
Li De made a simple summary of all the actions taken by the global giant in recent days.
Ever since Leon opened the star gate to the Dune Universe, the advance team of the giant enterprise has been trying to find a landable planet in the surrounding area as a temporary frontline base.
This will facilitate the subsequent deployment of troops by the giant enterprise, as well as the production of warships, weapons and other logistical equipment.
But unfortunately, they couldn't find a suitable planet for landing, and the surrounding star regions were extremely empty and desolate.
This made many members of the advance team feel confused and stunned. Where did the star gate come from? Is this still a universe with human civilization? Why is there no one here?
But fortunately, it didn’t take long for them to find a lone spaceship, and now, all the giant company has to do is capture this “wild spaceship”.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li De turned on the holographic screen behind him to display the real-time image, showing the situation at the star gate.
Not long ago, the reconnaissance plane of the Universal Corporation captured the whereabouts of a spaceship. In order to catch a spy and interrogate the situation, the Universal Corporation specially dispatched a Sojourner Dreadnought to intercept it.
At this moment, under the traction of the strong gravity field of the dreadnought, the spaceship was being pulled over little by little.
Through the shared images transmitted by the reconnaissance device, Li De and others could even clearly see the humans in the portholes, all of whom had terrified expressions.
Obviously, they were very confused and nervous about their current situation, fearing that they were being robbed by interstellar pirates.
Judging from the appearance of the spaceship, it is obviously a ship created by human technology, but its appearance is a bit rustic and looks a bit backward.
At this moment, the Dreadnought has sent a reminder to the other party through information broadcast:
[This is a giant enterprise, please cooperate with us and do not engage in any meaningless resistance. ]
[We will now disinfect your spacecraft. Please do not launch any attacks, otherwise we will take necessary compulsory measures! ]
【…】
After giving the spaceship a serious warning, the other party actually turned off its engine, remained stationary, and allowed the dreadnought to tow it over.
It was obvious that the captain of the spaceship was a smart man. He knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to them, so he decided to fight to the death with the other side.
It is better to cooperate with the other party's arrangements temporarily and see what the other party wants to do first.
Forced resistance will only bring unnecessary casualties to yourself.
Therefore, they simply shut down the engine and waited for the next move of the Universal Corporation. Here, the carrier-based aircraft of the Dreadnought completed the detailed disinfection work and quickly evacuated back.
The next task is easy to accomplish, which is to find the people inside and ask them about the situation here.
"Bring them in, the boss wants to question them."
Reed gave orders to the dreadnought commander at the stargate through the superluminal device.
[Yes, sir!]
As soon as the words fell, the operator of the dreadnought immediately controlled the gravity field to pull the spaceship into the interior of the ship, and sent Spartan warriors to pick up the other side's crew.
However, the hatch of the spaceship was still tightly closed. Facing the order issued by the commander of the dreadnought, they chose to turn a blind eye and had no intention of opening the door.
"This is the Space Guild. Which family are you from? How dare you intercept the Guild's spacecraft? Who ordered you to do this?!"
When he heard the words "Aerospace Guild", relevant information immediately emerged in Li Ang's mind.
This so-called Space Guild is actually an organization in the Dune universe that controls all of humanity's large spacecraft and the lifeline of transportation in the Milky Way.
The major shareholders of this organization are mainly divided into three forces: the first is the Emperor of Dune, the second is the major powerful families, and the third is the camp of the Space Guild Headquarters.
These three forces came together, the Space Guild provided the technology and equipment, the emperor and the powerful provided the money and human resources, and everyone made money together.
But in many cases, these three forces are not as united as imagined, and some families even have violent conflicts with the Space Guild.
Therefore, faced with the sudden hijacking by a giant corporation, the crew members of the Space Guild would suspect that a certain family wanted to rob and kill them.
After all, there is precedent for this kind of thing.
Facing the doubts of the Space Association, Li De immediately used the communication device to make a promise to the other party:
"We will not cause any harm to you. We just want to talk to you. Please give up resistance immediately and walk out of the cabin."
"Otherwise we will take strong measures to force you out!"
As early as half a month ago, Li Ang revealed the technological level of the Dune universe to the senior executives of various departments of the giant company.
The technological level of Dune's weapons is no match for the giant corporations at all, and even the indigenous humans of the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe may not be able to defeat them.
Therefore, Li De certainly does not need to be afraid of the human civilization in the Dune universe.
Seeing that the crew of the Space Guild were ungrateful and insisted on hiding inside and refusing to come out, Reed had no choice but to give orders to the Spartan warriors to forcibly remove the opponent's hatch.
Faced with the Spartan warriors who were armed with live ammunition and had extraordinary strength, the crew members of the Astronautical Guild instantly became intimidated and had no choice but to raise their hands in surrender, and walked out of the spacecraft under the arrangement of the giant corporate forces.
"Please calm down. We are from the Space Guild. If you deliberately attack the crew of the Space Guild, the Guild will immediately blacklist you and terminate your shipping qualifications!"
The captain of the Space Guild seemed to have not understood the situation and still regarded the warriors of the giant enterprise as private soldiers of a certain family.
However, when they saw the Spartan warriors in advanced power armor, some astonishment and confusion flashed in their eyes.
Which family does this soldier belong to? They have never seen him before!
At this time, the scientific researchers inside the Dreadnought quickly took over the Guild's spacecraft and studied the structure and devices inside.
Speaking of the technology in the Dune universe, there are quite a few, such as instant messaging technology, space folding travel technology, and protective shield technology.
If you think about it carefully, each of them is not weak, except for the weapon technology. The human civilization in the dunes is quite weak. If you throw a Reaper civilization in there, they will kill them indiscriminately.
Not to mention the Covenant in Halo!
The giant corporate warriors just ahead were disinfecting the crew members of the Space Guild while taking a headcount.
Leon began to recall more information about the Dune forces.
In the Dune universe, after the rebellion war between humans and AI ended, Butler, as the leader of mankind, successfully started his own business and left huge political assets to his descendants.
Relying on this political asset, Butler immediately chose to cash out and became the Galactic Emperor of the Dune Universe, and Butler's family also evolved into the so-called Colino family.
That is the current imperial royal family!
As the imperial royal family, the Colino family's tentacles extend to every corner of the Dune universe.
For example, in an organization like the Astronautical Guild, the royal family is the largest shareholder.
Relying on the elite Sadoka Legion, the Colino family's power is at its peak. It can not only make money to support the army, but also boss around other powerful families.
Faced with the old emperor's meddling, the Atreides Family and the Harkonnen Family, who had once participated in suppressing the AI rebellion, called on other families to establish the Lansgard Committee in order to check and balance the royal family.
The main function of this committee is a political parliament with legislative and decision-making powers. Obviously, this committee is specifically aimed at the royal family.
Therefore, a compulsory course for every emperor of the Colino family is to instigate family infighting within the Lansgard Committee and wait for them to consume each other so that the royal family can take advantage of the situation.
Of course, the human camp in the Dune universe is not only the royal family and the powerful families who are fighting fiercely on the surface.
There is also a group of "craftsmen" who are quite camera-savvy and love to go to the major families to show off their faces and get in the camera whenever they have nothing to do.
The sources of these craftsmen all rely on technological means and magical spices!
For example, there is the humanoid computer Mentate, and "Dr. Suk", who is known as a master of chicken soup for the soul, can clear away any negative emotions and thoughts, and is absolutely loyal to his employer.
That’s right, Dr. Suke is not referring to a single person, but a force, a specific group of people!
These Sooke doctors all graduated from Sooke College, where they all learned professional medical skills. They have a unique diamond tattoo on their forehead as a symbol of their exclusive identity.
In addition to these two waves of craftsmen, there are also members of the sisterhood who can implant suggestions into others through sound in order to achieve manipulation effects.
The members of the sisterhood also have a unique name - Bene Gesserit.
'Voice control ability...'
When he thought about the sound control ability of the sorority members, Li Ang became more suspicious that they were a group of gold diggers who specialized in false propaganda and fraud.
After all, they can control the thoughts and behaviors of powerful people through psychological suggestion and make them work for their own benefit.
In fact, the story of the entire Dune universe, from the royal family, the Atreides family, the Harkonnen family, to the Space Guild and the Sisterhood.
Only the senior members of the sisterhood are the manipulators of all events. Their influence and penetration continue until the end of the Dune universe!
