Chapter 318: Driving out wolves and swallowing tigers! The ruins of the temple! Leadership module!

Seeing that the core managers of each department expressed their opinions, Li Ang did not make a decision in a hurry. Instead, he threw the question to V.

This time, Leon intends to let V lead and handle the task of integrating the “Transformers” universe, and this will also be the second universe under V’s jurisdiction.

The 003 “Edge of Tomorrow” universe, which was previously in charge of V, has been handed over to Xu Shiming, the former CEO of Kangtao Company.

Although in this integrated operation, Leon will also participate and handle most of the key decisions.

But for a small matter like unifying the Earth, he still wanted to understand the opinion of his trusted senior executive V first.

“V, what are you going to do?”

Leon looked calmly at V who was at the front-line base headquarters through the hard-light screen. He hoped to get some different answers from the other party.

In an instant, all the supervisors automatically fell silent and looked at V.

Seeing this, V, who had remained silent throughout, already knew in his heart that neither decisive killing nor gentle treatment was the solution his boss Li Ang wanted.

He knew that Li Ang had only one core idea in mind when doing things, and that was efficiency. It had to be clean and neat, without any dragging of the feet, leaving any sequelae or troubles.

Either don’t do it, or do it all at once!
But the problem is that whether it is decisive killing or soft tactics, it is not a good idea to deal with the American government.

Killing will lead to the intensification of conflicts on Earth. With the existence of Zhentianzun and the Creator civilization outside, there is a river of blood flowing inside the country. This will only make it more difficult for the giant companies to integrate.

So the Universal Corporation can do this, and it is not even difficult to do so, but there is no need for it at all. After all, Leon rarely kills humans.

It was only when the main universe was still in the cyber age that Leon used tough measures to kill many people in order to wipe out the major corporate forces and the remnants of the powerful.

But even so, not many ordinary people were affected, because the war only lasted for half a year and then it was all about clearing out the remnants of small companies.

However, if you choose to appease and appease, given the nature of the American government, it will 100% be aggressive and start to demand all kinds of benefits and rights from the giant companies.

This kind of cowardly attitude is absolutely unacceptable to a global giant.

“Boss, I suggest that we cooperate with another major country to hold this global conference and exclude the United States from participating in this technical assistance program.”

After thinking seriously for a moment, V finally gave his response.

He knew that the fundamental reason why America refused to hold a meeting with the giant companies was entirely because America wanted to monopolize the communication channels with the world’s giant companies.

As long as the global giants are not allowed to contact other countries, the United States will be able to receive the latest information and situation developments at the first time.

But V refused to let the American government get its way. He decided to exclude the United States and refused to let it join the meeting.

In the Earth Integration Plan formulated by Leon, one of the decisions was to first grant each country some “backward but sufficient” advanced technology to quickly enhance the combat capabilities of each country.

Let them actively cooperate with the integrated actions of the universe giant enterprise, so as to facilitate the future confrontation with powerful enemies such as Megatronus, Cybertronians, and even the Creator civilization.

This should have been a far-reaching and important meeting, but the short-sighted American government, as the hegemonic country on the earth today, was afraid that it would lose its advantage in technological leadership and thus lose its global hegemony.

This time, their top leaders led America to stand against humanity.

V knows the temperament of the United States very well. Its history is too short, and after becoming the overlord of the world, it does things that only nouveau riche would do.

Making enemies everywhere and stirring up trouble have already planted too many hidden dangers for the United States.

At this time, the rise of various countries is led by giant corporations, and they obey the orders of the global giant corporations. The giant corporations don’t even need to dispatch a single soldier, as there are plenty of forces to deal with America.

When the United States is beaten into submission by other countries, they will naturally send out friendly people and take the initiative to apply to giant companies for a place to be their dogs.

In this way, the world’s giant corporations can achieve the strategic goal of efficiently integrating the earth without leaving any sequelae, and without having to implement various brutal killing methods and give others a handle.

Even if America is beaten by other countries, that is the business of the people on Earth. It has nothing to do with the giant corporations. As long as the giant corporations do not intervene personally, it will be invincible!
After listening to V’s answer, Li Ang nodded repeatedly. As expected of a core member who had risen from the grassroots, his approach to handling problems was very insightful.

For any normal person, the priority of beating the mad dog of the American government should not be to do so personally. This is not a decent approach and is likely to get you into trouble.

Driving other dogs to bite and trample the mad dog is the most time-saving and labor-saving way, and it will not cause any other trouble.

Other countries are the dogs that are about to be adopted by giant corporations. They have been bullied by America for too long.

If the giant corporations gave them a chance to take revenge and complain at this time, any normal country would unconditionally obey the orders of the giant corporations.

In fact, Li Ang had already made up his mind about this decision. He was very satisfied that V could agree with his approach this time.

The image of the United States as a country is actually more like a bloated and greasy giant baby. The thinking and methods of their top leaders are still stuck in the most primitive plunder and zero-sum game.

It is unlikely to expect them to learn to cooperate for mutual benefit.

Since the United States does not want to cooperate, let other countries use advanced weapons to beat it until it begs for cooperation. Then the giant companies will naturally be able to easily achieve their goal of profiting from it.

“V, I’ll leave this to you.”

Li Ang made up his mind to hand over the global conference matters to V. V’s strategy of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger was considered to be his learning of the essence of doing things.

“Yes!”

V nodded solemnly. He had already anticipated the outcome. Either America would give in and come over to be its dog.

Either America will hold its ground to the end, or even become so angry that it sends troops to attack the world’s giant companies, but this will exactly fulfill V’s wish.

After all, by that time, giant companies will be able to legitimately take over American senior officials and arrange for their own staff to move into the presidential palace.

Other countries on the earth will not say anything gossip. In short, no matter what choice America makes next, the winners will be the global giants.

After discussing the convening of the global conference and related technological assistance plans, Leon also had a unified discussion on the issue of subduing the Decepticons.

At this moment, Megatron has slowly recovered from his serious injuries, and Starscream is also actively cooperating with Megacorp to recruit and appease the surrendered Decepticons.

It’s just that the specific arrangement plan has not yet been formally determined.

“I propose to send all of these Decepticons to the rear, have them cooperate with the Research Department in conducting technical research, and provide them with some information so that they can understand their own situation.”

At this time, Otto Cunningham, the head of the giant company’s research department, spoke up and said that as the head of the research department, she was still quite curious about the technological aspects of the “Transformers” universe.

Issues such as energy conversion and cable transmission efficiency seem to be able to be further optimized in Transformers.

Li Ang nodded and threw this group of Decepticons to the Wanjie base. On the giant enterprise’s own territory, these Decepticons had no one to rely on and could only obey the giant enterprise’s arrangements and serve as experimental materials.

“Okay, I’ll leave this to you. Try to maintain communication with the Decepticons as much as possible.”

Leon specifically mentioned this sentence to ask Ultra to be “gentle” and not treat these Decepticons like guinea pigs. The Decepticons now are a force worth uniting and utilizing.

“understand!”

Otto quickly understood what his boss Leon meant and nodded in response.

At this point, Leon announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked his staff to carry out their orders accordingly. The first phase of the integration mission of “Transformers” has been completed.

Now it’s time to implement the second phase of the plan, take down the leadership module, capture Megatronus, unite with the Cybertronians, and prepare to charge at the Creator civilization!
……

……

At this moment, in a desert area far away in Egypt, an ancient and long-abandoned temple welcomed a group of special onlookers.

They were a sightseeing group consisting of Sam, the male protagonist of “Transformers 2”, and three Autobots.

Amidst the exclamations, Sam looked curiously at the interior structure of the temple. Beside him, the Autobot scout Bumblebee was looking around vigilantly to guard against the Decepticon’s surprise attack.

At this moment, they knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world. Four hours had passed since the Universal Corporation arrived on Earth, and the Decepticons on Earth had already surrendered to the Corporation.

Now no one will hunt them down.

“It’s safe here for now. We need to move quickly, lest Starscream brings people here to cause trouble again!”

Bumblebee said nervously.

They came here to find the leadership module, which is the key to unlock the stellar blasting system.

Through a series of coincidences, Sam learned the coordinates of the leadership module, and with the help of the ancient Transformers “Skyfire”, he was teleported here.

Ever since Skyfire betrayed Zhentianzun and colluded with the six supreme ancestors to seal the former boss, he has survived until now and now acts as Sam’s NPC guide.

As for Sam, the Autobot leader Optimus Prime has been beaten to death by the Decepticons. The information and energy in the leadership module can revive him.

Sam must find the leadership module as soon as possible, rescue Optimus Prime, and let it lead the other Autobots to turn the tide and defeat Megatronus.

After all, just before Sam went to this desert temple, Megatronus had already begun sending global broadcasts to look for his whereabouts.

Whether Sam wants to save human civilization or to survive, he can only pin his hopes on the leadership module and resurrect Optimus Prime.

However, the scene inside the temple disappointed Sam greatly, because here he did not see any remains of the Supreme Ancestor, nor did he see any lost leadership module.

The earliest archaeologists who visited the temple had already emptied it, leaving only insignificant murals, but what use were the murals? “We are late, there is nothing here.”

Sam shook his head in frustration. If he went back empty-handed, both he and Optimus Prime would be doomed!

“Maybe there is some hidden switch here, or a secret passage leading underground. Anyway, we are definitely in the right place.”

Bumblebee comforted Sam and then began to look carefully for suspicious traces.

If there is no tomb of the First Ancestor Supreme or any trace of the leadership module here, it would be impossible for that Heavenly Fire to teleport them here.

“hope so!”

Like Bumblebee, Sam paced in the temple, wondering where the switch inside the temple was hidden.

But at this moment Sam was extremely anxious and wanted to take the leadership module away immediately to save Optimus Prime. He really had no idea.

Archaeologists who came before them had already searched the temple thoroughly, even clearing the floor.

Just when Bumblebee and Sam were busy looking for the switch inside, the two brothers, Little Red and Little Green, started bickering as usual.

“Why is Starscream chasing us this time? Where’s Megatron? I heard that he fell into the sea and died. Is it true?” asked Red.

“That guy is an indestructible cockroach. With Starscream and Shockwave here, they might have already fished him out and resurrected him. What? Are you scared?”

Xiaolu mocked Xiaohong: “I knew you were a coward, a cowardly follower.”

“You fart!!”

Xiaohong broke through the red temperature in a second and pushed Xiaolu away: “What I’m afraid of is staring at your stupid ugly face every day!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaolu’s anger also rose, and he cursed: “You idiot, we are twins born from the same mother, do you think you are the only one who looks good?”

Bumblebee and Sam were busy looking for the switch, but Little Red and Little Green started fighting as usual. The two of them fought in chaos inside the temple, and even Bumblebee couldn’t persuade them.

Seeing this, Bumblebee had no choice but to pick up the two clowns and throw them out of the temple to save himself from trouble here.

After the temple returned to normal, Sam returned to the mural. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the mural in front of him had cracked due to the torment of Little Red and Little Green.

There seems to be a hidden layer inside!

“There is a new discovery!!”

Sam was overjoyed and immediately called everyone over.

When Bumblebee, Little Red and Little Green heard the noise, they immediately surrounded the area and then forcibly pulled out the interlayer. As expected, there was some rusty metal inside.

And on that metal, the words Transformers were engraved!
“Yes, all are correct! I have seen these symbols before. This is the tomb of the Supreme Being.”

Sam was very excited, and immediately asked Bumblebee to shoot through the murals to reveal the true appearance of the temple.

“Stand back and be careful.”

After saying that, Bumblebee pulled out his machine gun and opened fire, destroying all the murals in front of him. Only a dark and eerie hole appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The rotten and moldy smell and the indescribable chill suddenly hit him in the face, but Sam was not afraid at all. Unable to hide his excitement, he went into the cave to look for the purpose of this trip.

Not long after, he saw six Primitives in different postures. They were the ancestor-level Transformers of Cybertron.

More than 17,000 years ago, these six supreme apostles fought fiercely with Megatron in order to protect the stars in the solar system and life on Earth.

But Zhen Tianzun with full mana and full status is really too powerful. Even in a disadvantageous situation of one against six, with the backstab of the traitor “Skyfire”, it can still firmly gain the upper hand.

As a last resort, the six supreme beings had to sacrifice their own lives to seal Megatronus in the sarcophagus, and hid the key to activate the Stellar Harvester.

It was not until nearly 20,000 years later that the long-dead Supremes were finally seen again thanks to Sam’s pursuit, but at this moment, they had become a wisp of ghost.

The moment Sam saw Prime, he was anxious to resurrect Optimus Prime and had no time to think about this tragic historical event. He just wanted to get the leadership module as soon as possible.

The leadership module key is a crescent-shaped object with pointed ends and an arc. Its length is roughly equivalent to half a human arm.

At this moment, the leadership module was quietly floating in the hands of one of the Supreme Ancestors.

“Finally found it!”

Sam was so excited that he held his breath subconsciously, walked slowly forward, and gently picked up the slender key.

But as soon as his fingers touched the leadership module, the object in his hand turned into a pool of ashes, as if the object he had just touched was just a false illusion.

In an instant, Sam’s smile froze. He couldn’t believe that the leadership module that he had worked so hard to find had disappeared out of thin air!
“No… no, how could this happen!”

At this moment, Sam’s mood was like riding a roller coaster, falling from the peak to the bottom in an instant.

Only by obtaining the leadership module can he successfully resurrect Optimus Prime and allow the Autobots to fight against the Decepticons led by Megatronus.

But now, without the leadership module, the fate that awaits him is to be captured by Zhen Tianzun, have his brain cut open and thrown into formalin liquid!
Sam’s desperate expression and Bumblebee’s disappointment were all captured by the giant company’s AI micro reconnaissance aircraft, and the images were transmitted back to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.

When Leon saw the leadership module in Sam’s hand disappear, he immediately reacted and wondered what was going on.

It turned out that in order to prevent the leadership module from falling into the hands of the enemy again, the six supreme ancestors deliberately set up a special switch.

It is an extremely strange energy technology that can give the leadership module both virtual and real states.

When the leadership module falls into the hands of others, it will appear in an elusive virtual state. It will only be loaded into a physical state when the right person meets the right conditions.

This is just like downloading a short movie. Even if the download is not complete yet, as long as it enters the download task state, a section of occupied space will appear in the storage displayed in the background.

On the surface the space is occupied, but in reality it is not fully occupied.

According to the original plot of the movie “Transformers 2”, after Sam collected the ashes of the leadership module, he was attacked and knocked unconscious by the Decepticons who came over.

During this period, the six long-dead Supreme Ancestors awakened Sam through “dreams” and restored his leadership module.

Sam also successfully resurrected Optimus Prime.

Although the way of sending dreams seems a bit outrageous, it also contains foreshadowing details.

Because Sam had come into contact with the Allspark fragments before, the energy and information of the fragments existed in his mind.

Although the body of the First Supreme had long since perished, the remaining energy consciousness had not completely disappeared. Through the energy information in Sam’s brain, they allowed the other party to successfully inherit the leadership module.

After all, these six supreme beings are members of the 13 apostles of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the ancestors of the Cybertronians. It is not surprising that they know some mental power “skills”.

After all, their big brother Zhen Tianzun is even more outrageous. He can even control chaotic matter like “entropy” and use it like a burning technique, destroying everything he sees.

It was barely reasonable for them to use this method of “spiritual projection” to communicate a sentence or two with Sam.

Seeing this, Leon decided to follow the development of the original plot, let Starscream and Shockwave lead the Decepticons, play the role of villains, and let the ghost state of Supreme Old Den give the key to Sam.

After all, if the key is taken away by force, it would be difficult for the giant global company to successfully restore the leadership module with its current technological capabilities.

It is better to just follow the established route.

“Let Starscream and Shockwave go. Remember, don’t really snatch the key away. Let Sam revive Optimus Prime first, and then take away the leadership module.”

Leon faced the hard light screen and gave orders to V, who was also observing the situation on the front line.

“Yes!”

V nodded in response, and immediately sent someone to notify Starscream and Shockwave to come out to work. It was time for them to play their own villain roles.

After a while, the Decepticons who received the order from the Universal Corporation immediately began to rush towards the designated area under the command of Starscream and Shockwave.

Not long ago, Starscream, Shockwave and other Decepticon members witnessed the civilized species and technological miracles from the universe in Utopia.

Stunning megastructures, hundreds of meters tall Kaiju, AI knights of the Prometheus Legion, soldiers of various races of the Star Alliance, and indescribable Alpha monsters…

After learning about the huge size of the Universal Corporation, Red Spider immediately determined to develop a career as a professional fighter in the corporation. This is the best stage for him to showcase his abilities!

Megatron, who was half-crippled and in the process of recovery, and Shockwave also expressed no objections.

They fled Cybertron in order to find a new home and retrieve the Allspark to start a new business. Now that they can make a living under a giant corporation, this is not a bad ending.

So after learning that they had a job to do, which was to bully their old rival Bumblebee, Sam and others, the Decepticons howled and rushed to the target location excitedly.

They may not have the confidence and courage to defeat Megatron, but they are very familiar with bullying the Autobots and the protagonists!

This is a perfect professional job for the Decepticons.
