From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Shortly after the live TV broadcast ended.

A large number of clones wearing dark gray cold-proof combat uniforms were shuttled between the stepped seats in the parliament hall, "packing away" tens of thousands of federal officials whose hands and feet were tied.

Although these guys have been corrupted by power and turned into hedonistic and even anti-human scum, they still have extremely high reuse value, such as testing the actual combat effectiveness of biological weapons or the practicality of new medical products.

And the experimental data they obtain will help promote the continued progress of mankind as a whole.

Officials and generals with free hands and feet were taken away by ARS (rapid response) and prepared to take exams and tests according to Atlas specifications. After all, the Steel City is already an "asset" of Atlas, and everything must abide by ARS. Truss rules and regulations.

Soon, there were only a few people left in the lobby, most of them were AECS (emergency countermeasures) who were conducting final inspections.

The location of the Parliament Hall is the Federal Building located in the core of the Steel City. However, this giant building with a height of more than 1,200 meters is about to face comprehensive rectification by the Ministry of Engineering for Atlas Management Zero Six. The branch building of the universe.

Middle area.

In the former office of the Federal Speaker;

Sui Yang sat behind the metal desk and quickly checked the people's livelihood, economic and military situation of the Steel City through the holographic technology screen of Universe 06.

Fast upward screen scrolling was manually paused when browsing to a resource.

In order to maintain their own power and avoid the outbreak of riots or uprisings and coups, federal officials keep most people in a state of "just not hungry" to prevent people from paying too much attention and thinking about other issues. At the same time, federal officials will also guide people to go buffer zone for overconsumption.

But it was this behavior that allowed Atlas to directly obtain a large amount of ready-made resources, so that the Steel City did not have to worry about resource exhaustion for two years.

Two years is enough time to complete a considerable degree of comprehensive reconstruction.

During this period, Sui Yang will still use the original currency trading system of the Steel City and use the company's resources shipped from other universes to continuously expand and diversify the commodity supply chain of the Steel City.

When the steel city calms down, the company will introduce novel, high-quality non-essential daily necessities, such as different models of mobile phones, clothing and snacks of various styles and flavors, to stimulate market demand.

Large-scale construction of infrastructure promotes the upgrading of local industries and provides a large number of jobs. It is a routine operation. Incentive policies also need to be formulated and issued, such as registering identity information and participating in formal labor, and you can enjoy a one-year tax exemption. However, Suiyang will Complete or modify more details according to the actual situation.

Among all projects, there are two particularly important ones, namely, the reconstruction of social welfare and education, because this is not only the key to improving residents' well-being and education level, but also one of the main ways to enhance residents' sense of social responsibility.

Sui Yang briefly listed the future plans in his mind, realizing that he would need to stay here for at least two to three months, and then gradually handed over management, construction and production to Magnus.

In fact, even if he leaves now, Magnus is still qualified for the position of branch manager. However, Branch 06 is in urgent need of a large number of officials at this time, so Sui Yang chose to stay here temporarily to provide his son with direct assistance.

Atlas will select local officials during this period, and the company branches located in Universe 01 (Edge of Tomorrow) and Universe 03 (Doom) will continue to send human resources to the Steel City to fill vacancies. .

After six years of reconstruction, the Europe occupied by Division 01 has long been the company's breadbasket, and Division 01 can be said to be "rich" in management and operation talents. This is consistent with Robert (Guilliman), the director of Division 01. Inseparable from the relationship.

Next is the 03 branch that Leon is responsible for, which is "rich" in soldiers and officers with high physical fitness and extremely determined will. After all, the residents there have been repeatedly tortured physically and mentally by the fallen, and they have persisted for several years. Fellow humans rescued by corporations.

As for the fallen, they refer to those fallen humans who, after being injected with the 24th pair of chromosomes, have their appearance and mind distorted to the extreme, making them no different from "demons".

In order to avoid transforming the injected human into another creature, Atlas chose to extract the genetic information of the 24th pair of chromosomes and perform "gene programming" through nanorobots injected into the body to improve the adaptor's ability. physical fitness.

Nanotechnology consumed the main energy of the Scientific Research Department and the Biological Department for the past four years, and even consumed a large amount of the company's financial resources. Finally, the technical bottleneck was broken through in mid-1998.

Although the cost and maintenance costs are too high and the technology is relatively immature, Atlas cannot immediately apply nanotechnology to private medical facilities on a large scale, but it has been able to produce small batches of nanotechnology carrying the 24th pair of chromosome information. Nanorobots are distributed to a small number of core employees selected by the Biology Department.

The safety of nanorobots has been affirmed, but the complexity and resource investment required to make one person is no less than making two Luna transport boats, and this is a one-time product.

Therefore, currently only a few core employees are granted access to nanobots, usually front-line investigators who are solely responsible for investigations and investigations.

In addition, the Bioengineering Department also applied nanorobots to the temporary project of Compound No. 5.

Compound No. 5 was not favored by Atlas at first. After all, it was unpredictable and random, and the probability of stimulating human potential and conferring useful superpowers was extremely low. Even if injected in early childhood, it was often He also ended up being disabled for life.

The most critical point is that after injection of compound No. 5, humans will mutate, and most of them will be reproductively isolated from ordinary people.

But if we change our thinking and allow the user to have a "superhuman" state only temporarily, then the problem of permanent mutation will be perfectly solved. Therefore, disposable nanorobots provide an excellent way to make them temporary.

After extensive testing and experiments, the Department of Biology successfully produced the first batch of temporary medicines in December 1998, six months ago.

Combined with the aging characteristics of 20 to 26 hours, the Department of Biology named it "24V".

However, 24V has a fatal flaw, that is, once used, it will cause serious damage to the user's brain nerve cells and organs, and if used more than 15 times, the user may die suddenly at any time. risks of.

Therefore, front-line employees who are eligible to receive the first batch of 24V need to fully understand the details of the agent and clearly know the consequences of its use.

now.

Sui Yang recalled many things in an instant, wrote down the information about the resources and reserves of the Steel City, and then continued to scroll through the content presented on the holographic screen.

Soon, the screen displayed military-related files, such as the parameters of the Federation Army's main battle tanks or the structural diagrams of standard firearms. However, only the "Sixth Generation Hunter Mech Plan" (The Mark) proposed by the Pan-Pacific Defense Forces -6 Jaeger Project)" made Sui Yang stop and read the data and details carefully.

The Defense Force plans to combine the characteristics of the third to fifth generation mechas and then optimize them to try to create a sixth generation mecha.
