The giant corporations that started from Night City
Chapter 329: The highest respect for a civilization is to kill them all!
Chapter 329 The highest respect for a civilization is to kill it all!
“Everyone, this is the Transformer Metal used to make Transformers. It is a magical substance we have never seen before, and it has many special properties.”
In the meeting room of the top management of a giant company, Qiansihu showed a ball of silver-grey metallic substance to the heads of various departments.
This ball of metal that resembled mercury floated in the air under the attraction of a small gravitational field, and appeared clearly in front of the supervisors.
“The structural properties of deformed metals are not stable, so they are not suitable for making certain items using conventional manufacturing methods.”
Qiansihu explained the deformed metal to everyone in an orderly manner, and briefly stated the key points:
“But if we combine it with the shape-shifting gears, we can use a specific programming method to edit its special DNA structure and turn it into anything we want.”
Qiansihu waved his hand and made a series of editing gestures. The silver-gray deformed metal followed the changes of the gears and quickly completed the reshaping.
The next second, a smart classic submachine gun of the Kangtao unit appeared in front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Qiansihu made another command gesture, and the submachine gun made of deformed metal turned into a chainsaw sword!
Around the conference room, executives from many large companies saw this scene and immediately started talking about it with surprise on their faces.
For a global giant, the significance of using deformable metal to make Transformers is actually not that great.
Create magnificent transforming megastructures and giant Transformers mechas that are hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters long, or embed them into the skin of a Kaiju to create a transforming Kaiju!
Such a magical substance must be used first in giant corporate forces and industrial production areas, and only then will civilian use be considered.
“As you can see, deformable metal has a strong plasticity. It can be transformed into different shapes according to our wishes, just like being cast with magic.”
“But this substance also has some flaws.”
After saying that, Qiansihu controlled the holographic screen and called up an experimental video.
In the video, Qiansihu’s research team found that when testing deformed metals, no matter what form the deformed metal becomes, its physical properties will not change.
“The melting point, hardness, and toughness of deformed metal are fixed and cannot be changed, which means that the metal is not an indestructible material.”
Afterwards, Qiansihu compared the property data of deformed metal with those of ordinary copper, iron, gold, silver and other materials, and finally found that deformed metal was not much superior to these substances.
Even in terms of many physical properties, it is not as good as the alloy materials of the world’s giant companies!
This also means that deformable metal cannot undertake work tasks that exceed the upper limit of its own physical properties.
It is also because of this that in the original “Transformers” movie, there is a scene where Transformers are killed by human weapons.
Because these metals themselves are not indestructible, nor are they flexible and strong enough. At most, they are only slightly harder than ordinary steel.
After hearing what Qian Sihu said, all the executives of the giant companies, including Ultra, fell silent instantly. They felt somewhat regretful about it.
After all, every megastructure of the Universal Corporation is made of extremely strong special materials. For example, the main material of the quantum slingshot megastructure is resistant steel metal.
The hardness of deformable metal is far too far behind that of resistant steel materials, and it is simply impossible to support megastructures or celestial-level giant buildings.
Unless you get the “skeletal metal material” from Yuanshi Tianzun or Unicron, it will be possible to create the Transformers version of [War Moon]!
“So, with the current deformable metal, it is still impossible to achieve the material properties we want, and it is impossible to build the megastructures and celestial-class battleships we want.”
Senior Councillor V in the meeting room asked with a frown.
Before this, he was quite high on expectations for this magical substance called Transformer Metal, but unfortunately, in the end, the usefulness of Transformer Metal was quite limited!
“Yes.”
Qiansihu didn’t care about the hint of disappointment in V’s voice. He nodded calmly and answered the other party.
Afterwards, Qiansihu continued to explain:
“In addition, we are now faced with a rather critical problem.”
“That’s the Earth in Transformers. The output of Transformer Metal on Cybertron is extremely small. Even if it is mined at full capacity, the total output per year will not exceed 10 tons.”
“It could be even lower!”
There is no need to say much about the deformable metal on Cybertron. As long as Yuanshi Tianzun is not dead, these substances will be automatically generated, but the speed is relatively slow.
The transformable metal on the Earth in “Transformers” is actually a special material left behind by the Creator civilization in the dinosaur era.
They use a bomb called “Seed” to transform the earth’s basic material into deformed metal through explosion.
These deformed metals are also the key materials used by Quentinsha to create the 12 knights.
All the Transformer Metal on the Earth in “Transformers” now are the leftover waste from Quentin Shah’s past, and there is very little left.
The situation on Earth and Cybertron is different.
Cybertron was created through long-term cultivation by the First Prime and Quentinsa, who produced a large amount of transformable metal. The relevant metal culture dishes are still preserved on the planet.
Therefore, deformed metal substances can be automatically generated over a long period of time.
But there is no such culture dish on Earth, so deformed metal will not be produced automatically.
The amount of deformed metal left on Earth right now is no more than 80,000 tons at most. With this amount of metal material, nothing can be made at all.
If it were distributed equally to every citizen of a giant company, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even be able to produce a pair of chopsticks.
“Transformed metal is a metal with extremely special properties, but if we want to truly promote the development of the Universal Corporation, we need billions of tons of it!”
“This is an extremely large amount of data. The deformed metals on Cybertron and Earth alone cannot meet our standards.”
“In addition, the hardness characteristics of deformed metal are far from the indicators we want. We have to make a qualitative change to the deformed metal before we can invest in the construction of megastructures!”
Qiansihu sighed in his heart. The problem now facing the giant company is that the output and quality of deformed metal do not meet the usage standards!
If these two problems are not solved, then the transformable giant structure that Le Ang wants will naturally not be built.
“How about we consider recycling a batch of Transformers and use them to build some battleship samples to try.”
At this time, a senior councilor from a giant company spoke up and made a bad suggestion.
Qiansihu and the other congressmen were speechless and rolled their eyes. If the Autobots and Decepticons heard this, they would definitely rebel.
What’s more, the number of Autobots and Decepticons is not enough. A celestial-level transforming giant structure is enough to support at least billions of Transformers!
There are only tens of thousands of Transformers under the Universal Corporation at this moment. Not to mention giant structures, they can’t even build an ordinary cruiser.
Seeing that all the senior executives present were worried about how to improve the quality and quantity of deformed metal.
Li Ang first waited quietly until the discussions in the conference room died down for a while, and then he calmly proposed a plan.
“Everyone, the [Seed] of the Creator Civilization is our primary goal now. If this technology can be improved, there is hope that we can mass-produce the variant deformable metal we want!”
The solution proposed by Li Ang can not only effectively solve the quality and quantity problems of deformed metal, but also serve as a reminder to the heads of various departments.
This time we must prepare for the battle against the Creator Civilization with full vigor, so that we can have hope of obtaining the seed blasting technology needed by the giant enterprise!
“good.”
Qiansihu followed Li Ang’s suggestion and took over the conversation, saying, “We will soon be able to have a close contact with Quentinsha, a high-level member of the Creator Civilization.”
“The first contact between two civilizations always ends in war, so whether we can gain the upper hand in future negotiations depends on the troops of the Development Department.”
“I hope Director V and Jack can bring us good news on the front line!”
Qiansi Fox smiled and said that improving the [Seed] technology of the Creator civilization is the only feasible route at present.
But whether this technology can be obtained from Quentinsha depends on whether V’s pioneering army is strong enough.
“No problem. No matter who Quentinsha is, the headquarters just needs to convey the order, and I will execute it 100%!”
Jack Wells said in a muffled voice, it was not that he looked down on the Creator civilization.
But after going through many interstellar battles, Jack’s courage has long been able to support him to ignore any powerful enemy.
Even if he died on the battlefield for a global giant, he would have no complaints.
“Do we have information about the fleet of the Creator Civilization, or the strength of Quentinsha’s troops?”
Unlike Jack who is brave and fearless in combat, V pays more attention to information about the enemy. Only by obtaining enough intelligence in advance can he make the best combat deployment.
Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak is the tactic that V is best at and most often uses. Only by knowing as much as possible about his opponent before the battle can he minimize his own casualties.
In response to V’s question, Alex, the head of the intelligence department, shook his head and said that there is currently no definite information about the Creator civilization.
They could only infer from Transformers such as Megatronus, Optimus Prime, and Megatron that the troops sent by Quentin Sand would most likely include interstellar mercenaries.
“We have tentatively assessed the strength of the Creator civilization as S-level. Just in case, I have arranged for the logistics department to equip you with a neutron-killing ship-borne weapon system.”
Alex responded to V.
In order to transport strategic-level weapons such as neutron annulment weapons from the logistics department, it requires written approval from at least three departments of giant enterprises.
Or get permission directly from Li Ang alone.
Under normal circumstances, the development corps of the world’s giant corporation would not use this kind of strategic-level lethal weapon.
Seeing this, V nodded. Neutron annihilation is already a heavyweight strategic weapon of the Universal Corporation. If this thing is still not very effective, it can only mean that the gap in technological level between the Universal Corporation and the Creator is too big.
At that time, the giant corporations of the universe will have no choice but to find a way to drag the troops of the Creator civilization to the surface of the planet to fight a land battle.
“If we can obtain the Seed technology, what will be the output of Transformed Metal?”
At this point, Zuma asked a key question.
Since the giant corporations of the universe have spent huge sums of money to go to war with the Creator Civilization, they must first figure out how valuable the spoils they can obtain are.
If the spoils gained are too far away from the resources consumed in starting a war, it is better not to fight.
In response to this, Qiansihu, who had already figured out this information in advance, immediately responded:
“According to the information from Megatron, one ton of ordinary minerals can be converted into about 0.8 tons of deformed metal after being exploded by a seed bomb.”
“Even if we can’t improve the seed technology, I think this battle is worth fighting just based on such a high conversion rate!”
Qiansihu’s voice was firm.
It is normal for some loss to occur during the seed blasting process. Turning ordinary substances into rare deformed metals only requires a 20% loss.
This is definitely a business that will make a lot of money!
You know, what the giant companies in the world lack the least is minerals. There are as many as 10 matter decompressors deployed in the black hole area alone!
Add to that the mining areas in several other universes, and you can get as many minerals as you want, so there is no need to worry about running out of these basic substances.
Even if the seed technology cannot be improved to produce harder deformable metal, the current quality of deformable metal is enough for giant companies around the world to complete many engineering projects.
For example, in the transformation of Kaitan City in the 005 “Dune” universe, the main component of the planet’s crust is iron, and the properties of iron are almost the same as those of deformed metal.
If the earth’s crust is replaced with deformable metal, the construction period of the second ideal city can be shortened countless times, saving more time and effort.
Except for the inability to build celestial-level megastructures and various military warships, other factory areas, building complexes, and large-scale viewing facilities can still use transformable metals.
All of a sudden, all the executives in the conference room nodded in agreement. This battle had to be fought, and they had to fight until Quentinsha handed over the Seed technology!
The internal high-level meeting of the giant global company is gradually coming to an end, and far away in the star field on the other side of the Milky Way, a Transformers force is sharpening its knives.
……
The interior of a transformable battleship at the Interstellar Bounty Hunter Shipyard.
“Haha, my beloved Mother of Life has sent me another big order. Are we going to continue fighting with the Creator’s gang of bastards this time?!”
The Transformer who can speak is called “Shutdown”. He is a famous lone wolf bounty hunter among interstellar pirates, and he has his own small workshop, shipyard and warship.
Although his family background is not as rich as that of the Creator Civilization, he has been leading a good life in confinement thanks to his strong professional ability and the frequent visits of his big customer Quentinsha.
[Mission: Find the ancient scepter on the solar system – Earth! ]
Looking at the holographic screen in front of the center console, Lockdown showed a thoughtful look. It remembered that there were many Transformers in the solar system.
Especially the Transformers from the Decepticon camp!
Before Lockup became a lone wolf mercenary, he had been in the Decepticon camp, but he failed to reach the top and get the resources he wanted, so he left the Decepticons.
Now that he has stepped out to work on his own, Jiuyi has accumulated a considerable amount of resources and even has his own means of production.
Shipyards, warships, resource areas, and even slaves!
Today, Imprisonment has long been a well-known interstellar bounty hunter inside and outside the Milky Way. It serves various civilized forces, and its performance has all received five-star praise due to its high quality of service and high efficiency.
“Is it the Earth…”
Confinement continued to carefully read the task letter given by Quentinsha. As his eyes gradually moved downward, his emotions began to become agitated.
Shock and astonishment were intertwined in its heart.
“The Autobots and Decepticons in the solar system have all surrendered to humans? How is this possible!”
It turned out that after Quentinsha’s spies’ investigation, it had learned about the Autobots, Decepticons, and Megatron as the guides.
Naturally, these contents were also written into the letter of authorization.
But seeing the confinement of this information is somewhat unbelievable. After all, in its impression, humans on earth are nothing more than fragile “little monkeys.”
How can the flesh and blood of human beings compare to the steel and iron bones of the Autobots and Decepticons!
“Megatron and Starscream are not the kind of people who would give in so easily. How did they agree to submit to humans…!”
The reason for the confinement is inexplicable. With the current level of human technology, it would take at least two or three hundred years to even stay on the moon for a few days.
Could these civilized species with low technology and weak bodies make the Decepticons surrender? This is absolutely impossible.
“Humph! Maybe it’s those old guys in the Creator’s upper echelons using humans to come up with some tricks again.”
Jinmei thought again and realized that since the commission was sent by Quentinsha, it must be other high-level officials of the Creator Civilization who came to cause trouble for it again.
That’s why he came to me to do things this time.
“That’s fine. I haven’t had a good stretch in a while anyway!”
Jianyi did not read the end of the letter of authorization, nor did he even read the conditions and benefits offered by Quentinsha.
Having worked with Quentinsha so many times, Jiemei knew that every time he completed a job, he would receive extremely generous rewards.
I believe this time is no exception.
“Turn the ship around and start heading into the solar system!!”
A strong red light flashed in its closed eyes. It grinned, drove the spacecraft out of the dock, started the dark matter engine, and headed towards the designated coordinate system.
In the vast and dark star field, a spaceship continued to accelerate, and finally disappeared into the universe in an instant at a speed exceeding the speed of light.
……
……
006 “Transformers” universe, solar system, earth!
[The Universal Corporation has officially notified that all Transformers remaining on Earth must be transferred to the main universe – Ideal City within seven Earth days.]
[Otherwise, you will be immediately regarded as an enemy of the world giant and will be destroyed! ]
[The rest of the Transformers stationed at the Moon and Mars bases, please follow the evacuation points shown on the map and enter the main universe and 001 universe in an orderly manner. ]
[Repeat it again…! ]
Ever since the top executives of various departments of the World Corporation decided to launch a war against the Creator civilization, the World Corporation has used the Transformers in the Earth, Moon, and Mars regions to temporarily live in other universes.
Giant companies need to vacate this battlefield and engage in an epic interstellar battle as human civilization and the Creator civilization!
The reason why these Transformers warriors are not involved is that they are afraid that Quentinsha will find a back door and instantly control these Transformers through the underlying genetic program.
At that time, facing the situation of being attacked from both inside and outside, it will be unfavorable for the global giants.
In order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, Leon gave the order to clear out all Transformers in the solar system, leaving only Megatronus and human troops.
And through the uninterrupted global broadcasts in these days, a large number of Transformers have entered the main universe and 001 universe in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the giant enterprise.
When humans from the main universe and 001 “Netherworld” universe saw the Transformers, they not only did not show the slightest fear, but they even came forward to ask for photos with them because of the Transformers’ majestic armor.
In order to arrange something for these troubled Autobots and Decepticons, the publicity department of the global giant company gathered all these Transformers together to cooperate with humans in filming the movie.
The name of the movie is “Transformers” series. It is expected that 10 films will be shot, and the shooting will be completed before the end of the battle. In addition, exclusive IP peripheral toys will be created around Transformers.
On the other hand, the development department of the world giant has deployed an antimatter cloud as long as 0.5 light years at the edge of the solar system.
These “space mines” will be used to resist fleet forces from outside the solar system.
In addition to giving the opponent a warning, consuming the fleet of the Creator civilization, and opening the opponent’s eyes, it can also buy more time for the deployment arrangements of giant enterprises.
After all, the total mobilization before the war is a troublesome task that consumes a lot of time and energy. The deployment of expeditionary forces in various universes and the transportation of giant cannons are also quite time-consuming.
Before we know when the Creator civilization will arrive, it will definitely be a problem to use the antimatter cloud to delay the enemy’s advance.
At this moment, the entire solar system has become extremely busy under the unified arrangement of the giant enterprise, with warships and transport boats coming and going in an endless stream.
Countless AI drones and robots printed with the logos of global giants are active in outer space, building defense systems on the moon, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
Various orbital defense turrets and observation base stations sprang up from the ground. Even the Covenant from the 004 “Halo” universe arrived in the universe to help in this battle.
The giant corporations in the world attach great importance to this interstellar war, and there is even a hint of militarism in it.
In addition to these first combat units deployed in the Transformers universe, Leon also deployed the Second Legion and the Third Legion behind the star gate.
From the battleship Mantle to the megastructure Moon of War, all the battleships that could be brought out were brought up!
The highest respect you can show to a civilization is to kill it all.
Before Leon knew about the Creator Civilization and Quentinsha’s strength, he would never hope for the slightest bit of luck as long as he could kill the opponent with a combo, even if the damage had already overflowed.
