Volume 1 Chapter 87 The Business Empire

January 9, 2506. Fourth Field, Heavy Karma, Beta-4 C27ยท F590, planetary code F590-E279.

Bright Sky and Field walked in the direction of the building.

On the way, Field used communication equipment to contact the people who had previously traveled to the city.

After a short search, the communication equipment was connected. But there was no sound from the other side, and Field was not in a hurry, just waited quietly. After a while, there was a brief clicking sound on the other side of the communication equipment.

This was the Army's code, and after confirming the code, Field spoke.

"This is Field. The squads report on the progress of the reconnaissance. โ€

Then there was a click, and then a strange sound like a clutter that lasted for a while. And it came to an abrupt end without warning. Communication will not be communicated directly in words, nor will it be rashly sent and uploaded to the stronghold, the living fleet.

Field came to lead the team, so the information should have been sent to him. So that even if it is exposed, it will only expose Field and them, the scouts. The position of the fleet will not be revealed.

The basic situation of interstellar warfare and space naval warfare is that whichever side discovers the other side first has already won half of it. Even if you don't win in the end, you won't lose. If you don't win, don't you lose?

In fact, this kind of duality is probably only seen in games. Even the game can be a draw. The various military universities of the Imperial Navy basically had to talk about one thing - the Battle of Jutland.

Although the Battle of Jutland was a battle between real surface ships, the Imperial Navy was inherited from the Navy after all, and this is only to illustrate the problem. That is, both sides of the Battle of Jutland were winners.

The best record of one side, a tactical victory. On the other hand, the other side succeeded in blocking the opponent in the port and achieved a strategic victory.

In the era of space naval warfare, once the fleet is discovered, it will be unprepared for a saturation strike. At this time, the fleet did not know at all that it was exposed, and the shield power was not satisfied or even turned on at all. Either the weakest areas of armor were exposed to enemy fire.

So, Field could not risk the exposure of the fleet and communicate with the fleet at will. Even if the fleet may have intercepted electromagnetic waves, it has obtained a huge amount of information from it.

Bright Sky Fire is superstitious about what he sees with his eyes and hears with his own ears. As a junior, Field can only follow this senior. And as an executioner for the first time, he should have used the powers granted by the empire more carefully.

After reading the information from the other investigative teams, Field was completely speechless with shock.

The first is the population, the population assessment data in the city is no more than one million, and the exact figure is around 800,000. The Bright Sky Fire estimated that there were at least four million shantytowns outside the city walls. In light of the information we have learned about the "untouchable" class, it is no longer possible to justify it as a refugee.

Then there is the political economy, and only two groups of investigation teams have reported that they have found members of the public authorities, and none of the others have found them. In the economic sphere, it is even more bizarre, and all the investigation teams report that all the shops and factories they found belong to the same group.

Needless to say, it is Tengyue Technology Group.

"Yao Lao, this Tengyue Technology Group seems to be a little more powerful than we imagined. 100 million points. โ€

"Huh?"

Field walked in, didn't know what expression to use, and said, "This Tengyue group has a monopoly on almost all industries. Every shop, every factory, every position in this city is owned by Tengyue Group. โ€

It feels like, as if it were the case with the Holy Empire. But the crux of the matter is that the two are fundamentally different from each other on a key issue.

The Holy Empire is a state monopoly on all industries, but it still reserves a certain market share for the interstellar society to compete in the conscientious market. Moreover, newly developed interstellar markets, such as Antiga, are generally reserved for the bulk of the interstellar society.

But the situation in this civilization is very different. First of all, the Tengyue Group does not belong to the state, and judging from the intelligence, this civilization even has several governments. Outside of the home planet, there are even more regimes. Second, Leap did not pay taxes to any regime. The only people who can collect taxes from those regimes are the so-called "untouchables" outside the city walls.

At this point, the Leap Group should no longer be part of the company's category. The countries of this civilization cannot be counted as countries either. Leap is the country, a business empire in the true sense of the word, literally. And these so-called regimes should be regarded as terrorist organizations, or black organizations.

After hearing this, Yao Tianhuo also felt strange, according to the development process of ordinary civilization, there should not be such a strange structure.

Because if this situation is naturally generated, then the so-called company and the so-called group, the Tengyue Technology Group should be recognized as the state.

Even if the name is, Leap Tech Country, this kind of weird country.

Field looked at Yao Tianhuo's continuously changing face, as if he also realized some abnormalities in it. The interference of foreign forces in the course of civilization has become almost the only plausible explanation. Even, the "untouchables" living in the shantytowns outside the city walls were the original masters of this civilization.

It's probably like the Indians were to the New World of America. Tengyue Technology Group, probably a small company of an advanced civilization in the interstellar society, discovered this place by chance. Occupy the mountain as the king and become the king of the mountain.

Only, there is one more thing that bothers this field.

That is, since Tengyue Technology Group has essentially become the country itself. So, are they interfering with other civilizations and making shows just because they are bored to entertain the public?

So it doesn't seem to make a difference whether it's real or fake, right? The cost of the latter is even lower, and businessmen will not be indifferent to the cost, right?

In this regard, Yaotianhuo could not give an answer.

But as they walked towards the Tengyue Technology Group building and passed by a square, this doubt was instantly solved.

In the middle of the plaza is still a huge holographic screen. It's closer to the city centre, which is probably why the square looks more luxurious. There were also more people, gathered around a huge screen in the middle of the square.

The screen is also a costume-type program, with the name of the story marked in the corner, "Rebirth I Am Immortal".

Above the holographic projection, a holographic neon flashes a line of large characters. There are several heat bars under the font, and there are also small characters on the bar, and the tail of the heat bar corresponds to the length of the heat bar.

Under the holographic projection, a man explains the rules of the event with a PA device. Field didn't bother to listen, just stared at the big line.

"Shocked! The fate of the protagonist is life and death, you are in charge! โ€
