Chapter 330: Taking the Initiative! The First Generation of FTL Inhibitor! March!
What’s more, the incarnation of the Earth in “Transformers” is Unicron, and his remains are the key resource for Quentin Sha to revive Yuanshi Tianzun.

Once the cosmic giant retreats and gives up the solar system, Quentinsha can use the remains of the Unicron to revive Yuanshi Tianzun at any time.

At that time, Yuanshi Tianzun, who inherited the power and ability of the Emperor of the Universe, might be able to use the ability of multiverse jump to attack other universes of the giant enterprise in reverse!

You should know that one of the skills of the Emperor of the Universe is that he can freely jump to other universes to plunder other universes’ resources in order to strengthen his own power.

If Quentinsha really gets what she wants and Yuanshi Tianzun merges the power of the Emperor of the Universe, then the fate that awaits the Universe Giant Enterprise will be a high-dimensional invasion by Yuanshi Tianzun!
Therefore, the world’s giant companies cannot afford to lose this battle. Losing would mean the collapse of the world empire that Leon has spent decades building.

“After these days of efficient cooperation between the logistics department and the engineering department, we have deployed 369 large-scale detection bases in the solar system, and have obtained a complete field of vision around the solar system.”

“In addition, these detection bases are also equipped with the latest space jump detectors, which can predict various jump actions and provide sufficient reaction time for front-line base personnel.”

At the front-line base headquarters on Earth, the general manager V is presiding over a high-level combat meeting. He explains the current deployment progress to the executives of the development department present via a holographic screen.

After explaining the solar system’s detection, firepower, and defense deployment systems, V began to ask the senior officers of the Development Department to express their opinions on the next tactical decision.

Soon, the young generation represented by David Martinez came up with a slightly unexpected idea.

“Everyone, I suggest sending an elite advance team to take the initiative. It would be best if we can directly decapitate Quentinsha.”

“Even if we haven’t defeated the enemy, as long as we can understand their strength, it can be considered as mission accomplished. In short, we should try to take the initiative to meet the enemy and not be passive everywhere!”

David’s idea was the same as Jack Wells’. He believed that just waiting and passively playing defensive counterattacks was not the style of the global giant.

Before the enemy arrives at the solar system, deploy an advance force outside the edge of the solar system to test the waters. If Quentinsha can be captured, the battle will end immediately!

“Behead Quentinsa…”

Hearing this, Admiral Terrence frowned. He didn’t think this was a good idea. After all, the intelligence department of the Universal Corporation had not yet found out Quentinsha’s latest movements.

“We don’t even know Quentinsha’s exact location. How are you going to lead the team to carry out the decapitation operation?”

Up to now, the Universal Corporation has only roughly grasped the movements of Quentinsha’s troops, but is not clear about the opponent’s specific coordinates, let alone the location of Quentinsha herself.

If a lone troop were to rush out in the dark and stay in the outer solar system, they would most likely be swallowed up by the enemy!

The battle hasn’t even started yet, but the loss of an advance corps has had a huge impact on the morale of the rear.

Terrence knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: “According to the information from the Intelligence Department, Quentinsha herself has the ability to jump through space. We do not yet have the technology to arrest such a highly flexible target.”

In the original story of “Transformers”, after Quentin Sands’s conspiracy to drain the earth failed, she completely disappeared and never appeared again until the finale.

This skill of its is very similar to Zhen Tianzun’s teleportation, and is most likely an advanced small-scale individual space jump technology.

Without accurate intelligence information, the operation to behead Quentinsa was nothing but empty talk, and David Martinez’s proposal was not feasible at all.

“The outer space of the solar system is very large. Even if we take the initiative to attack, we may not be able to encounter Quentinsha’s troops, let alone capture her.”

Terrence’s attitude was very firm. He ruthlessly rejected David’s proposal. He couldn’t bear to watch his naval troops die in vain.

David was not angry in the face of the rebuttal from the Admiral of the Giant Enterprise. He could understand the other party’s thoughts, but this proposal was a decision made by the top leaders of the advance team after careful consideration.

Risks and benefits always coexist. As long as it can bring benefits to giant enterprises, it is worth a try.

“General Terrence, don’t be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say first.”

David had a calm smile on his face and said confidently, “Since we dare to make this suggestion, we must have our own considerations.”

After saying that, David slid the holographic screen in front of him, which displayed the number of interstellar battles fought by the world’s giant companies over the years, as well as the number of annihilation wars, guerrilla warfare, and defensive wars.

“Everyone, over the past thirty years, the establishment of the Universal Trade Circle has gone through many interstellar battles, and we have fought many types of wars.”

“But the vast majority of battles were basically crushing annihilation battles and small-scale guerrilla warfare to clear enemy areas.”

David presented the interstellar battle data of previous years in clear data charts and distributed them to senior military officials of various departments for review.

These data show that the forces of the Universal Corporation have never fought many evenly matched tug-of-war battles. Even in the “Halo” universe battlefield, it only took a few years to clear the enemy area.

Once the Prophet and the Jiralhanae’s troops encountered the Covenant forces, they were basically crushed instantly.

This was the first time for them to be in a situation where they had to deploy troops and prepare for a protracted battle.

“This is a rare opportunity for actual combat training. Regardless of the strength of the opponent, this is our home court after all. Even if we lose the confrontation, we are confident that we can bring the opponent into the antimatter cloud area.”

David’s words forced Terrence and other senior executives of the Development Department to think deeply.

We are just facing a Creator civilization. Is it really necessary to be so cautious? In the past, the giant corporations in the universe fought interstellar wars and were invincible.

This time, even a simple attempt seemed so restrained.

Besides, Quentinsha’s troops were just a group of bounty hunters and a looting force composed of interstellar mercenaries.

They have not received any professional training, and it is not certain who will be stronger or weaker when facing the iron army of the global giant!

“Although we don’t have the exact location of Quentinsha’s troops yet, the Covenant has relevant experience in proactively searching for the enemy, so we can ask them to help.”

David Martinez’s tone and demeanor were firm and confident. He dared to fight battles that the old-school generals did not dare to fight.

Having fought in the Halo universe for such a long time, David would not be afraid of any civilized forces.

“As for Quentinsha herself, according to the headquarters’ information, she is very arrogant and conceited. She will not sit idly by and watch her troops being destroyed.”

“As long as we can find the enemy fleet and beat them up, I believe we will have a chance to force Quentinsha out of her position!”

“As soon as Quentinsha shows her head, I will immediately have the missionary lead her Prometheus Legion to surround Quentinsha in an instant and complete this decapitation operation in one fell swoop!”

The Didact and his Prometheus Legion are best at interspersed operations. Their planet-leaping tactics rely on their continuous leaps and high mobility to achieve flexible strikes on high-value enemy targets.

To put it simply, the Prometheus Legion is the elite light cavalry unit of the world’s giant enterprise, and the most outstanding one!
The combat and destructive capabilities of this interstellar force may not be very strong, but it is definitely the most flexible.

As long as David led his advance troops, he could hold back Quentinsha’s troops in the front and get to the location where Quentinsha appeared.

The missionary can command his own legion of knights at any time to quickly infiltrate and capture Quentinsha herself!
“In addition, our Science Hub has finally developed the first version of the FTL Inhibitor during this period.”

“This inhibitor can block the space jump channel within a range of 0.01 light years. As long as Quentinsha shows up, we will be able to arrest her successfully in no time.”

At this moment, Jack Wells also spoke up, and then presented a report on the latest scientific research results from the Science Hub to the senior executives present.

The head of the research department is Ott Cunningham, who happens to be an old acquaintance of Johnny Silverhand, who is Jack’s second in command.

Therefore, Jack is always the first to learn about the latest technological achievements of the scientific research department, after learning that the first generation sample of the superluminal suppressor has been developed.

He came up with this new combat decision plan in an instant.

Of course, Jack Wells was a senior executive of a giant company after all, so he naturally knew the meeting process, so he let Jack come forward to make suggestions first, and then he came out to make the final decision.

Jack is quite familiar with this process of driving subordinates to propose plans first and then the boss to assist in the smooth completion in time.

When he learned that the first generation sample of the FTL Inhibitor had already appeared, even V was a little surprised, because he didn’t know about this!

When other senior members of the Development Department learned that the effective range of the superluminal suppressor reached 0.01 light years, they were all shocked.

Although the value of 0.01 light-year seems small, when converted into kilometers, you will find that it is close to billion kilometers!
The jump channel within a radius of 100 billion kilometers was instantly blocked, and Quentinsha could not fly away even if she had wings.

“Jack, are you sure this FTL suppressor can really work properly? How come I don’t know about the finished product of this device?”

V was not too excited about the development of the FTL Inhibitor. He calmly asked Jack back.

As the head of the 006 “Transformers” universe, V’s authority is close to that of executive officer Leon, and he has priority access to information channels of various departments of the world’s giant companies.

This also includes the technical achievements of the Research Department!
If the Science Hub really developed the latest first-generation superluminal suppressor, then this news would definitely not be hidden from me.

But Jack Wells actually knew this earlier than himself!
V once served as the interstellar governor of the 003 “Edge of Tomorrow” universe. He certainly knows that since the giant company took over the universe, it has been developing technologies in the fields of hyperspace and superluminal speed.

From self-developed superluminal engines to superluminal suppressors, these are key scientific research projects of giant companies.

However, the superluminal suppressor is the most difficult superluminal technology device, and its development cost and usage cost are extremely high!
If this device is really developed, the impact and internal shock it causes will definitely not be less than Einstein’s equator some time ago.

“Ahem… Because this device has not been formally tested, Director Otto can only guarantee that it is safe enough, but cannot guarantee whether it will work.”

“Perhaps the blocked jump range is only 0.001 light years, or even smaller.”

Facing the question from his good brother V, Jack simply responded directly.

He knew that using untested and completely completed technological devices was extremely dangerous and not in compliance with procedures, so he asked David to first propose the benefits of this plan. Then he himself came forward to propose the only difficulty in this plan, which was to get this first-generation [Superluminal Inhibitor]!
“V, we have been working on this plan for a long time. Now we just need your nod, and we will have a good chance of taking down Quentinsa in one fell swoop.”

“This will also save the large forces in the rear from having to bear the enemy’s active attack.”

Jack Wells said in a deep voice.

These days he saw the giant corporations deploying defenses and building frontline bases all over the solar system, which made Jack feel very unhappy and upset.

When he was in the Halo universe, and he and Reed were leading the Covenant forces and killing people everywhere, he had never suffered such humiliation as he does now.

The best defense is offense. Now the defense system in the rear of the earth has been built to be impregnable.

After completely cutting off the possibility of the enemy’s outflank attack, taking the initiative is what the world’s giant companies should consider!

“Although David and Jack’s suggestions are risky, I support taking the initiative. No matter what, it’s always good to test the other party’s bottom line first.”

“It’s better than just waiting for the other party to come over, and then running away in panic after finding out you can’t beat them.”

Li De, who has always been calm and composed and rarely expresses his opinions, chose to stand on the side of his old comrade Jack this time. In his opinion, the world’s giant companies need such enterprising generals!

What’s more, if Quentinsha really leads a large army into the solar system easily, there will still be casualties among the soldiers of various departments of the giant enterprise.

Instead of hiding like a turtle, it is better to move out and give the enemy a blow. Even if the advance team on the front line fails, it can give the rear a chance to adjust.

“As long as we can get the FTL Inhibitor, I have no objection to this plan.”

At this time, the giant enterprise’s naval marshal Terrence also spoke out in time and said that he had no opinion on Jack and David, and even often communicated with them about naval combat skills.

But since we are going to take the initiative, we must bring the elite troops of the giant enterprise with us. If we cannot hurt the opponent in one go, it is better not to fight.

Seeing that everyone started to vote, V nodded and asked everyone to start voting on whether to carry out this attack operation.

“I support you, Chief Jack.”

“I agree.”

“I don’t have any objections either!”

“…”

Immediately, 80% of the development department executives present chose to take the initiative to take action. V hesitated for a moment and then spoke:

“I will report this matter to my boss, but regardless of whether we can get the FTL Inhibitor, I will support your decapitation operation this time.”

Those who have the same desire will win. Since the generals have this determination and morale, why not give it a try.

As for the boss Leon, V will do his best to convince him and get him to agree to let Jack bring the superluminal suppressor, which has not been finally tested, to the front battlefield.

“Then from now on, all units will immediately form an advance corps and prepare to attack!”

“Yes!!”

……

……

As time passed, the bounty hunter army led by Lockup began to gradually approach the solar system.

This bounty hunter corps is mostly composed of mercenaries temporarily recruited by Lockup, as well as a portion of the troops assembled by Quentinsha.

In the dark and silent outer area of ​​the solar system, this fleet is rushing towards its destination at full speed, although the styles of the various warships in this fleet are different.

But in terms of the cold and powerful aura, they are particularly unified.

Compared with the entire “Transformers” universe, the area where the solar system is located can only be regarded as a remote “village”.

This group of interstellar pirates from the metropolis are all ruthless characters who are willing to go through fire and water. Except for the Creator, any civilized force will tremble in fear when seeing this fleet.

As the most vicious bounty hunters and interstellar mercenaries in the Transformers universe, once these greedy and brutal Transformers appear in groups, they are simply a moving doomsday disaster!

Fortunately, this group of Transformers did not wander around and plunder as usual, so the civilization along the way was not harmed.

Under Quentinsha’s command, they are heading towards the solar system at full speed. This time, Quentinsha has spent a lot of money and promised these pirates a lot of benefits.

Therefore, these bounty hunters would ignore the tiny profits and only want to complete the mission as soon as possible and get the reward promised by Quentinsha!

At this moment, they have approached not far from the outer edge of the solar system, and the legion’s logistics personnel are also conducting the final inspection and maintenance of the warship’s weapon system.

As soon as the fleet enters the solar system, the battle will officially begin!

“Everyone, check the engine system carefully, so that it won’t be unable to run on the road. Watch carefully and make sure nothing goes wrong!”

“There might be ambushes from the Creator Civilization in the solar system right now. Even if we can’t defeat them, we have to chew up some metal slag before running away.”

“Humph! The troops of those old guys only have a slight advantage in range. Once I get close to them in close combat, I’ll still chop them up like scrap metal!”

“How long will it take to reach the solar system? My hard bones are almost shaking loose.”

“…”

The internal communication channel of the Bounty Hunter Corps is very noisy, filled with languages ​​from civilizations on various planets. Some Transformers’ information processors are not updated properly, and their sensors may even be burned out.

The fleet is in extreme chaos!
On the surface, the bounty hunter corps led by Lockup seems powerful and intimidating, but in fact, the members of this corps are mixed.

There are even some people who try to take advantage of the situation.

There are only a few characters like Solitaire who are both capable and vicious. The vast majority of Transformers are those who have some good qualities, but not much.

If Quentinsha had not spent a huge amount of money and promised this group of bandits huge benefits, this cobbled together looting force would have begun to fall apart long ago.

After all, not every legion has the patience to march non-stop throughout the entire journey. Mercenaries like them, according to their previous temperament, just rob wherever they go.

In addition, the internal environment of the bounty hunter corps has become lax, chaotic and confusing due to the march in recent days.

Transformers from various civilizations in the Legion began to compete with each other. Some mercenary organizations met with another group of forces that they had disputes with before, and it was like enemies meeting and they were extremely jealous of each other.

Various forces began to fight each other while marching, resulting in explosions and losses of warships from time to time within the legion.

And Jing, who has always been a loner, is just a top lone wolf mercenary, but not a qualified team leader.

Faced with the chaotic situation within the legion, its patience has long been exhausted, and sometimes it even wants to give up this commissioned mission.

[Tietou, last time your people stole a boatload of slaves from me, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet. Now you come to provoke me again. Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?]

[Ha! Then you should pay me back all the money you owe me for the fire control system. What’s a shipload of slaves? I’ll continue to rob them next time.]

【I will kill you!!】

A shrill roar was heard again in the fleet’s internal communication channel.

“Shut up, everyone!!”

At this time, the confinement roared and forcibly scolded the members who were arguing to stop.

This time, it issued an ultimatum: “We are about to enter the solar system, and we may be attacked by humans or the Creator at any time.”

“I don’t care what grudges you have against each other. Before the mission is completed, put them all aside and settle them privately after it’s over!”

This is why Lockout likes to work alone, because he can’t stay with these idiots. Just smelling the low-quality engine oil on them is enough to make Lockout feel sick and want to vomit.

We are about to join the solar system and officially start the fight, but this group of metal idiots are still busy fighting among themselves!
Lockdown doesn’t care about the lives of humans or these Transformers. It just wants to complete this mission as soon as possible and get its share of the reward.

“Now everyone listen up, no matter who you are, shut up!”

Jin Shu opened the radio channel for the entire army and roared in a stern voice: “If any of you are not convinced, you are welcome to come to the flagship headquarters to find me. My name is Jin Shu, and I am always at your service.”

“If there are any bastards who can’t stand the march, get out of here as soon as possible and don’t get in the way here.”

“If anyone dares to continue causing trouble, I will be the first to kill him. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!”

“…”
