From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Before opening the space gate, Atlas could only be regarded as one of the military-industrial complexes.

After opening the space gate, and integrating the technologies, weapons, and resources of multiple worlds, Atlas is a "complete and absolute" military-industrial complex like no other.

There is an old saying in the United States, that is, "a complex made of iron, a president made of water." In addition, Sui Yang started planning a hundred years ago, so the political arena was naturally and successfully reshuffled.

Afterwards, Atlas began to sell weapons to the police and military that were outdated but still advanced for the mainstream technology of the main universe. The most typical ones were UDF's mass-produced mechanical skeletons and individual soldier equipment.

The agencies directly under Atlas are fully equipped with airship vehicles equipped with magnetic levitation technology, such as the medical airships of the medical team or the riot boats of the New Accra City Police Department.

However, until the cost is controlled to a level acceptable to the general public, there are no plans to sell civilian airships to the market.

Fully mature agricultural, industrial, people's livelihood, medical and other products have been vigorously promoted and publicized by Atlas, such as agricultural vehicles that greatly improve the efficiency of sowing and harvesting, but the price is only more expensive than old-fashioned models. About 3% to 5%.

Civilian construction machinery skeletons have also begun to be sold and rented, and the engineering team has undertaken a large number of outsourcing projects.

As for small items such as mobile phones and computers, Atlas has already completed the market monopoly from the moment the Titan 3G was released.

What's more, mobile payments, online shopping, media platforms and other aspects have been subtly integrated into people's lives, making it almost impossible to separate them. New hydrogen battery vehicles and maglev high-speed trains have even changed the way people travel.

But the one that shocked the world the most was the press conference held by Atlas on September 1998, 9.

At first, as usual, a series of new products were released to warm up the audience, but at the end of the day, the highlight was announced by the owner of Atlas himself, that is——

"Atlas has mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology."

It is such a simple sentence, but it caused an uproar on the Internet and society.

Because Atlas did not "discover" or "theory", but "already" mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology, this means that humanity's cutting-edge technology is actually in the hands of a giant private company.

If it were the past, whenever it sensed that forces at home and abroad were surpassing us in some aspect or field, the United States would immediately launch a public opinion offensive and various sanctions.

But today’s U.S. officials remain silent?

But Atlas is centering on the United States, Ghana, Kenya, Bolivia and other countries, and is steadily "radiating" outward. From the transformation of infrastructure to the guarantee of work and life, etc., it seems to be showing that The structure of the world has undergone sudden changes since the fall of Walter.

In fact, Brooklyn epitomizes this sudden change.

A week later.

1999 2 Month 9 Day.

West Africa, inside a maglev tunnel beneath the surface of Ghana;

Swish-!

A maglev train with twenty carriages and cargo boxes is traveling from east to west at a speed of 800km/h.

But after a while, the train began to slow down slowly.

slow down.

After stabilizing the speed at 80km/h, you can vaguely see the "light spot" at the end.

As the "light spots" became more obvious, the speed of the train also decreased.

Until the moment it passed through the "light point", the train successfully drove out of the closed and dark tunnel and arrived at the underground station with open space.

Finally, the train passed the magnetic track crossover and parked at platform number 12.

Di-!

The hatch on the right side of the carriage opens.

"Is this the company's maglev train? It's much faster than civilian ones."

"About the same speed as a passenger plane, what do you think?"

A group of soldiers who left the carriage looked around and expressed their feelings about the ride.

Some of them were wearing black training uniforms representing the ARS, while others were wearing dark green camouflage representing the AECS, and each of them was carrying or carrying military luggage bags. It looked like they were here for the first time.

There were nearly a hundred men and women in civilian clothes, following the soldiers on a large elevator to one of the main areas on the upper level.

It is also the transportation hub area of ​​the ruins base.

The space here is also extremely spacious, and the overall structure is like a super giant corridor, allowing elevators of different sizes and short-distance rail trains to connect to various areas of the ruins base.

"Oh my God, how big is the company?"

One of the women, who was wearing casual clothes and exclaiming in horror, was Claire Redfield with a ponytail and a red jacket.

Claire successfully passed the internship two years ago and officially became a member of Atlas. Then, due to her excellent performance and passing subsequent tests, she was incorporated into the core staff half a year ago, and learned about space gates and different universes. fact.

Then he was transferred to the ruins base by his superiors to prepare for new work arrangements.

Next.

She took a short-distance train with employees from the public relations department and arrived at the staff dormitory area, which was a bit crowded but had a more living atmosphere.

Not only is there a free canteen, but there are also supermarkets, pubs, noodle shops, movie theaters and other places where employees can spend their money, so as to avoid feeling too depressed by living underground for a long time.

She placed her luggage in her temporary single dormitory, packed it briefly, and arrived at the small conference room in the office area of ​​the Public Relations Department before two o'clock in the afternoon.

14: 00.

A man with white sideburns and a long mustache explained to her and her new colleagues: "Welcome to the ruins base, I am Jacks Sisdeva, the director of the public relations department here.

So far, the company has explored five universes, and the company was able to obtain the full support of humans on Earth Zero One (tomorrow), which also included a contribution from our public relations department.

As for what sent you here, the human civilization on Earth 05 was almost destroyed by a very fast zombie. Fortunately, the company deceived the infected by pretending to be terminally ill. As a result of the successful development of the vaccine, more specific information has been sent to you.

Now, the company will completely control the Middle East region of Earth Zero-5, so you need to stay in the ruins base for a while. After understanding the detailed operation process with me, you will go to the Zero-5 branch through the space gate. What's the problem? "

"." Claire and her colleagues all shook their heads in response.

"Okay then, let's take a look at your office first."

With that said, the group left the conference room.

But at the same time, a burst of dazzling golden light burst out from the core area of ​​the ruins base, indicating that the sixth dimension had been officially opened by Sui Yang.
