The airspace east of Cheongsen City.

Twelve heavy transport planes lined up in the air like big birds, and their figures appeared at the end of the clouds.

Semi-arc cabin.

Two silver-cloaked androids stood by the front windowpane, staring intently at the dead city not far away.

Same as Ideal City.

There are also many high-rise buildings, if not more, and you can't see the edge of the city as far as the eye can see.

However, the entire city has been deserted.

Whether it's the city center engulfed in a cloud of yellow-green spores, or the hollow concrete wreckage, there's no doubt that it's dead.

Only a corner of the northern suburbs still has traces of fireworks.

Survivors have built new homes there, built three- and five-story houses, transported supplies by old trains, electrically powered machinery operate in the fields, and towering chimneys slowly drift through a black mist.

The spark of civilization remained, and seemed to show signs of recovery, but the breath was still weak, like a flickering candle in a storm......

"That's Qingquan City." Colorless pupils stared at Dawning City, and the relatively tall android spoke slowly.

Its name is "Frost", the model is A-130, which is redesigned from the pre-war civilian P-100 series, and the application scenarios are raids, security, rescue, guardianship and cleaning, etc., and the AI algorithm is compatible with some functions of the P-100 series.

As the proud work of the Bionics Design Department of the Kangmao Group, its energy supply is a nuclear battery with 200 g of helium-3 and a chemical battery with 6 kg of metallic hydrogen.

As a hybrid android, it usually provides its electrical energy mainly by the latter, and switches to the former when the latter runs out of energy.

The name of the android standing next to it at the moment is "Eclipse", the model is A-110, and the main application scenario is comprehensive information processing.

Also, unlike Frost, which can carry multiple weapons, its abilities are more visible outside of the battlefield. For example, coordinate the collective operation of conventional bionic troops, such as coordinating multiple drones to form attack aircraft groups, and so on.

"The coalition answered our request to land, and they will lend us the airport in the northern suburbs...... We will land in 5 minutes and 12 seconds. Eclipse's pupils flickered slightly, and he whispered.

Frost nodded.

Its pupils were colorless, but they seemed to be more intelligent than the colleague next to it with a more complex processor.

Looking at the weak village, it raised its chin slightly, and there was a subtle hint of meaning in the electronic sound that did not fluctuate.

"The eclipse, it's an opportunity for us."

The eclipse is slightly overhead.

"What?"

Frost continued.

"We will use our technology and professionalism to eliminate our customers' concerns and prove to our customers that we are the best solution for all precise calculations."

"We will lead humanity and revive their civilization!"

The eclipse paused for two seconds, confused or thoughtful.

Then it nodded.

"Okay."

……

The funeral was also over.

Chu Guang, who left the cemetery, walked in front of Zhao Yongxu, the head of the Giant Stone City Militia Regiment.

Without waiting for Chu Guang to speak, the powerful man seemed to be unable to wait, and took the initiative to speak before him.

"Hello, Mr. Administrator, I am here on behalf of the Lord of Boulder City, and I hope to discuss our common future with you."

Chu Guang smiled faintly and nodded.

"This is indeed a question worth exploring, and we value our relationship with you, but I have to say that you have not come at the right time...... Maybe you should tell our embassy before your next visit, or call us in advance. ”

Zhao Yongxu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Guangzhi said.

"That means, I might have to trouble you to wait a little longer."

Have to wait?!

Laughed angrily by this sentence, Zhao Yongxu said with a smile on his face.

"How many funerals are you going to hold to complete the next one?"

"It has nothing to do with the funeral," not being irritated by his words, Chu Guang smiled faintly and continued calmly, "Just to receive friends from afar." ”

"Friends from afar." Zhao Yongxu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chu Guang nodded and said in a relaxed tone.

"Well, they've come all the way from the East Coast, and I can't leave them alone."

Hearing Chu Guang's words, almost all the envoys who came here from Giant Stone City, including Zhao Yongxu, showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Business people?

Come here?!

Standing next to Zhao Yongxu, an officer couldn't help but protest.

"Those people have made appointments?"

Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"Of course, they said they were coming five days ago."

Although Chu Guang didn't expect these people to come so quickly.

Didn't you say that the maximum range is only 500 km?

How did it suddenly cross three thousand kilometers?

Zhao Yongxu's face changed slightly, and the center of his mind was thinking quickly.

While he had long heard that Vault 404 was a permanent partner of the Enterprise, he had never heard of them working together outside of trade.

And these people didn't arrive suddenly, but had an appointment five days ago.

This means that these hillbillies in the northern suburbs have a way to maintain stable contact with enterprises!

It's nearly 3,000 kilometers away from the east coast!

It's common knowledge how hard it is to communicate long distances in the wasteland, but how the hell do these people do it?!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yongxu couldn't help but be secretly alert in his heart, and looking at the azure power armor's eyes, he also unconsciously underwent a subtle change.

If the new alliance really aligns with business, they will have to reconsider their relationship with this neighbor......

Taking in the expression on his face, Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"Are you going with me? Or go to the town hall to rest first? ”

The messengers whispered.

Looking at Chu Guang expressionlessly, Zhao Yongxu's face suddenly squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Then I'm sorry to introduce us to the guests from the East Coast......"

Negotiations on the Iron Heart are no longer important.

In contrast, he was more desperate to figure out one thing.

Are those people from the East Coast......

……

Dawning City North Airport.

There was a noise of chirping on the ground.

Looking at the planes flying from a distance, the players near the airport counted one by one, and all of them opened their stunned eyes.

"! What's that?! ”

"Aircraft !!"

"I know it's an airplane, but why is that so weird?!"

Nearly 30 meters long fuselage, more than 30 meters wingspan, drum-shaped engine spraying a dark blue arc,

At this time, one of them suddenly shouted in a fuss.

"Look at the wings!"

"It's moving!"

The backward arc light turned at an angle, turning diagonally downward towards the ground, holding the massive fuselage to slow down and descend downward.

The whole set of actions is done in one go.

One transport plane after another smoothly switched flight modes and landed neatly on the runway of the North Airport of Dawning City.

The rolling air swung open, blowing up billowing dust.

His eyes stared straight at the big planes full of science fiction, and the mosquito's face was full of indescribable excitement and envy, and his mouth kept chattering.

"Damn, it's finally a bit of a bit of a sci-fi feeling!"

Devilish nodded.

"Got it! Vertical take-off and landing is the way of the future. ”

The pigman brother on the side coughed lightly.

"It's just a game, maybe the operator just thinks it's more handsome...... Selective references, don't be led by others. ”

Mosquito said with a smile.

"That's right! What do you want VTOL! What is the power of the electric propulsion enough? Big nozzle, big thrust, forward sweep wing is the future! ”

Luo Yu: "......"

Unprofessional anti-steamed buns: "......"

As everyone spoke, the door of the plane opened.

A column of android soldiers stepped out of the cabin with neat steps, forming five neat squares on the runway.

The iconic G9 "Black Swan" assault rifle was held across their chests, the streamlined body blended with desert camouflage armor, and the arc-shaped eyepieces shimmered with scarlet dots.

They are machines made for war.

Although its name is android, it does not bear the slightest resemblance to a human other than its resemblance to a human.

Standing next to the mosquito, several of his apprentices sighed in surprise.

"Holy."

"The dog is planning to burst the liver!"

"Awesome !!"

The players whispered.

Looking at those android soldiers, Chu Guang who was standing next to the airport, the surprise in his heart was actually not lost to these players at all.

Although the company said that it would send reinforcements, it did not say who it was at that time, let alone whether it was a person.

Zhao Yongxu, who was standing not far away and watching, swallowed his saliva, with disbelief and a trace of deep jealousy written in his eyes.

A whole five hundred-man teams of androids!

And this is just the first wave of support!

God knows if there will be a ...... after that

Without paying much attention to the expression on Zhao Yongxu's face, Chu Guang's gaze stayed on the runway of the airport, looking at the twelve uniquely shaped planes and the bionic soldiers lined up in a neat square.

Luo Hua, who was on crutches, stood next to him with the same look of surprise on his face.

"A-30 general-purpose bionic soldier, unit price 270,000 CR, Kangmao Group's product ...... Before I set off from Ideal City, I watched their promotional advertisements, but at that time, their technology was not mature, and their performance in the actual combat test was quite stretched. It's only been two or three years, and they've produced so much. ”

The unit price is 270,000 CR, a total of 500 units.

Doesn't that mean that the total price is more than 100 million?!

Surprised by this huge handwriting, Chu Guang looked at Luo Hua.

"Kangmao Group?"

Luo Hua nodded slowly.

"Hmm...... Didn't I say before that a company is made up of multiple subsidiaries? ”

Chu Guang knew it in his heart.

"That Kangmao Group is one of the larger subsidiaries?"

Luo Hua nodded.

"It's not big, it's very big. Their main business is medical devices and biomimetic equipment, and most of the bionic organs with the Ideal City brand are produced by them. In addition to this, there are the android laborers that are more common in the province of the clouds, where most of the survivor settlements have signed the Covenant on the abolition of slavery, so they will occasionally use androids for farm work, mining, and even picking up garbage. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment to continue.

"There are four other companies of the same size as Kangmao Group, Yinyi, which is mainly engaged in the manufacture of exploration equipment and heavy engineering equipment, Changge, which sells arms products, endpoints that provide intelligent services and cloud technology, and Ideal Group, the largest contractor and property in Ideal City."

"Although there are tens of thousands of enterprises in Ideal City, the seats on the Supreme Council are basically in the hands of these five companies. If the resolution to aid is passed by a vote of the board of directors, these five companies will basically contribute money and efforts. ”

Chu Guang suddenly asked curiously.

"What determines the seats on your council?"

Luo Hua hesitated and said.

"Equity, of course...... Why do you ask this? ”

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Just a little curious...... Speaking of that equity, can it be traded? Is it to buy directly with CR? ”

"Yes, you can, but basically no one will sell it at will."

Luo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "I heard that a century ago, corporate equity transactions were still active, but now they are basically concentrated in the hands of five companies. And the rules of equity trading are very strict, and you can't buy it if you want to. ”

Chu Guang nodded slightly.

This is probably a variant of representative system?

However, the subject of power is not people, but "equity", and its mode of operation is probably similar to the "profiteer empire" in "The Group".

As the number one "licking dog" of Ideal City, Boulder City has borrowed the technology and rules of Ideal City to a certain extent, but since this trend is blowing from the aristocratic class, they only borrow the part that is beneficial to their own class.

In the end, a semi-feudal lord and semi-capitalized operation of the four dislike were born.

However, even though there were differences in many fields, when the official power of Ideal City appeared in front of him, it still brought a lot of shock to the nobles of Boulder City.

Including that head Zhao Yongxu.

The words jealousy were almost written on his face.

Even hard-liners who are keen to show off force have to admit that it is not a smart choice to show off force to those on the East Coast.

Just as Zhao Yongxu was anxiously thinking about how to deal with it, two bionic figures with different shapes left the team and walked in the direction of Chu Guang.

They are draped in a silver cloak.

Significantly different from those mass-produced models, they have similar human facial features and a look that conforms to human aesthetics.

"Welcome, friends from afar, I am the administrator of the alliance, Chu Guang."

Looking at the two androids walking towards him, Chu Guang estimated that they might be the representatives of the enterprise, so he stretched out his right hand.

The right hand holding the power armor shook it.

The android at the head curled the corners of his mouth and spoke in a voice that did not fluctuate.

"Thank you for your welcome, and I hope we didn't come too late, my name is Frost, model A-130."

The frost was ok.

Chu Guang looked at the person next to it with a strange expression, and was about to ask if it was called Illusory.

Presumably reading the question on his face, the android took the initiative to introduce himself before he could ask.

"Eclipse, Model A-110."

Hearing these two names, a trace of surprise appeared on Luo Hua's face.

Both of these androids were models he hadn't heard of.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but mutter.

“…… It seems that I have been away from home for too long. ”

Just as Chu Guang was thinking about how to communicate with these two android friends, next to the plane not far away, a figure suddenly trotted over.

"Wait a minute, I, I'm a representative of the expeditionary force...... Yi Chuan! Silver Wing Group's Overseas Business Development Department! It's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Stopped, the man held his knees with his hands and gasped twice, finally relieved his breath, and looked at Chu Guang in front of him and squeezed out a smile.

"Looks like we're here just in time!"

Chu Guang looked at the panting man in front of him with a strange expression, and then glanced at the frost that was smiling at him.

Are these people not communicating?

He almost got the representative of the reinforcements wrong.

Before he could speak, Luo Hua's eyes suddenly widened and he recognized the person in front of him.

"Yi Chuan?!"

The two apparently knew each other.

The young man who had just gasped for breath was stunned, looked at Luo Hua who was on crutches next to Chu Guang, and immediately recognized him.

"Luo Hua?! I've heard you're so badly injured...... Shhhh ”

Luo Hua looked at his left hand and said with a wry smile.

"I'll put my business aside for now...... Let's talk about it later. ”

Obviously, knowing that now is not the occasion to catch up, Yi Chuan nodded, looked at Chu Guang who was standing in front of him, cleared his throat, and said seriously.

"You're the manager of Vault 404, it's nice to meet you!"

"Chu Guang, I'm also very happy to see you."

Saying that, Chu Guang made a joke to ease the atmosphere, "It seems that you are the representative of the reinforcements, and I was still thinking about how to communicate with our android friends just now." ”

Looking at the two androids next to him, the smile on Yi Chuan's face was slightly embarrassed.

These two are representatives of Kangmao Group...... They may be more zealous. ”

Chu Guang nodded.

From the expression on the face of the young man in front of him, he vaguely noticed something unusual, it seems that there should be disagreements within the company on some issues.

However, that was an internal matter of the enterprise, and it had nothing to do with the new alliance, and Chu Guang didn't want to get involved in their internal affairs.

Fighting for more benefits and compensation for his young players and the residents of the alliance is what a manager should do.

While he was talking, two men and a woman walked not far away.

The three of them got off the last plane, and when they got closer, Yi Chuan introduced them to Chu Guang.

"This is Wu Mu, a senior employee of the product sales department of Changge Group!"

The young man named Wu Mu was wearing a set of red-painted power armor, with a hearty smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

"Hello, Coalition Administrators! I've seen your video, what about the Claw of Death? Why didn't you ride it over? ”

Shaking hands with him, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"It's hot-tempered and not suitable for meeting guests, but if you're interested, I can show you around, or even give you one."

"Haha, that's great, I remember that!" Wu Mu's eyes flashed with interest.

Compared with others, Chu Guang could clearly feel that the representative from the Changge Group in front of him was probably the one who had the best impression of him.

There's even a little bit of ...... Adore?

However, compared to the others, this one does not look like he is here to fight at all, but it is a bit of an outing, and it is difficult not to doubt his professional ability.

Of course.

Maybe his specialty is not on the battlefield in the first place, after all, listening to Yi Chuan's introduction to him, his profession seems to be "sales"?

Compared with this friend named Wu Mu, the aura of the other two representatives was obviously much more stable, especially the middle-aged man who was about forty years old.

There was a hint of old-fashionedness in that old face, and it was difficult for Chu Guang to see his thoughts from the change in his expression.

Without waiting for Yi Chuan to introduce himself, the middle-aged man spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Li Changkong, the business personnel of the ideal group, our engineering equipment and construction technology will be open to you to help you establish a more reliable logistics supply line and ensure that war materials and personnel can be smoothly delivered to the front line from the rear...... Of course, all we can do is help you build roads and fortifications, and you will have to rely on yourself for the resources needed to build them and the fighting on the front lines. ”

Chu Guang smiled and shook his hand.

"That's enough."

The largest contractor and property in Ideal City.

I don't think it will disappoint him.

After introducing the representatives of Changge Group and Ideal Group, Yi Chuan continued to introduce the last one, the representative from the Endpoint Group.

This is a senior engineer from the AI Technology Department of Endpoint Group...... Yun Yu, she will act as your information technology consultant in wartime, helping you to complete the construction of information-related infrastructure. Don't look at her young, actually—"

With his arms clasped to his chest, the man called Yun Yu coughed lightly, interrupting him halfway through his words, and continued with an expressionless face.

"My personal situation should have nothing to do with the content of my work."

Yi Chuan said embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry."

Chu Guang looked at her twice.

She was in her early twenties, a typical researcher, and dressed in a style similar to that of Hea, though slightly shorter.

Probably somewhere between Hea and Fujito.

Maybe it was the glasses on the bridge of his nose that magnified her sharp eyes, and he always felt that this guy had an inexplicable ...... for himself Wary?

Without waiting for Chu Guang to speak, Yun Yu looked at him and made his position straightforward.

"To be honest, I don't agree with the option of war, and I think it's better to solve the problem through dialogue than to fight like a beast, otherwise it's just a repetition of the mistakes of two hundred years ago."

Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"If you can chase those beasts away with a mouth cannon, I'd like to use my mouth."

Yun Yu raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something, when Yi Chuan, who was standing on the side, coughed and interrupted her.

"Ms. Yun's opinion is hers and the unanimous adoption of Resolution 1001 is a reflection of our overall will...... We've all had loved ones who were drawn into this war, both actively and passively, and now all we have to do is end it! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Guang.

"The Legion must stop its territorial ambitions east of the Great Desert, abandon its military base in Luoxia Province, return the Trailblazer, and release the crew of the Pioneer trapped in the Great Desert!"

This is not a slogan.

Rather, it was announced by the representatives of the reinforcements, the war goals of the enterprise in this war.

Driving the legion out of the province of Luoxia is also one of the Alliance's goals, and only in this way can the threat from the west be ended.

Chu Guang stretched out his right hand.

"We are on the same page, and we are happy to be on the same front as you!"

"So do we!"

Holding Chu Guang's right hand, Yi Chuan said solemnly.

"Your bravery on the front lines has shocked everyone, the cry for war has never been higher, and although we are separated by three thousand kilometers, our desire for civilization is the same."

"The first aid consists of five hundred A-30 android soldiers, who will be on the front lines to fight alongside you!"

"In addition, there are munitions, construction machinery, and production equipment worth a total of 300 million CR will be airlifted here one after another, and we will not only help you establish a complete supply line, but also help you complete industrial upgrades, and arm your production lines and troops with more advanced technology!"

Hearing the words of his allies, Chu Guang couldn't help but be overjoyed even though his expression management was in place.

300 million CR of arms is a trivial matter, and five hundred android soldiers are nothing to be excited about, the key is the promise in the back!

Isn't that what he's waiting for!

Yi Chuan paused and continued.

“…… However, we have only had time to produce these 12 large aircraft with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, and we need an aviation base to replenish our aircraft before subsequent reinforcements arrive. ”

Chu Guang immediately asked.

"What energy do you need?"

"Metallic hydrogen!" "We plan to build a metallic hydrogen production line in the southern part of the province to supply energy and ammunition production. This requires about 100 acres of land, which requires a stable and sufficient supply of electricity and water...... We are not familiar with the local situation, and we may have to trouble you to figure out how to do it. ”

Electricity and water?

That's easy to say!

Chu Guang's heart moved, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's very simple, I happen to know of a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, not only close to the water source, but also not far from our controllable fusion power station!"

"And there's a controlled fusion power station here?!" Yi Chuan's eyes lit up, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, "Great!" ”

He was ready to use thermal power to generate emergency electricity, but he didn't expect these inland allies to give them a surprise.

Chu Guang continued to draw the pie with a smile on his face.

"To the north of Xizhou City, on the south bank of the Tianshui tributary, we plan to build a river port there. The nearby city of Xizhou has our fusion reactor, and we expect to have power restored by the end of the month. I can lend you the vacant land near the port, but ......"

Speaking of this, Chu Guang suddenly paused for a moment.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on his face, Yi Chuan hurriedly asked.

"But what?"

Chu Guang said with a little embarrassment.

"However, we have a weak grip on that area, and there is marauder activity on the north bank of the river...... There may be an impact on the security of aviation bases. ”

Hearing this, Yi Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hi, little things! If only a marauder came and left it to us! ”

Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face again.

"I'm relieved to have your words!"

With the help of companies to watch the northern gates of the Alliance, it should be difficult for the Legion's intelligence network in the Bugra Free State to make any moves.

This will also free up more staff to devote to the new expansion!

……

(Thanks to the "nightchick3n" boss for the silver league!! Thanks to the leader of the alliance "as a person from the heart" for rewarding!! It's not that I don't want to add more, but the main thing is that there is really no manuscript left. qaq）
