The giant corporations that started in Night City - Chapter 345
c345 Separate actions! V’s major discovery! Horrible when you think about it!
“This scene is really tragic.”
Paul, who had left Jedda Planet after his ultimate escape, looked back at the broken planet behind him and sighed with emotion.
It wasn’t that he marveled at the destructive power of the Death Star, but that it was the first time for him to watch the entire process of a planet being destroyed at such a close distance.
For example, the Star Explosion method of the global giant only needs to release a neutron killing beam, or the MD·500 Little Doctor can complete the annihilation strike from a long distance.
The whole process takes no more than five minutes, but it is precisely because it is so efficient that many people do not have an intuitive feeling about the destruction of a planet.
When he watched the planet Jedda collapse from the crust to the complete internal collapse within a few hours at a close distance, Paul could clearly feel the visual impact of the destruction of the planet.
It has to be said that the power of the first-generation Death Star was already quite terrifying. Although the efficiency of this star explosion was a bit slow, it was more successful because of the high degree of completion of its destruction.
A single Star Destroyer Beam can completely destroy a planet from the inside out. Even in the weapons arsenal of the world’s giants, it can be ranked as a T1-level weapon.
If Paul’s movements were a little slower, or he failed to predict the danger in advance, he would most likely die in the Death Star strike.
Jyn Erso, who was escaping with Paul, looked at Jada Star behind her with a sad face.
This is the power of the Galactic Empire!
This is the real reason why the empire is able to take sole control and quickly suppress rebellions in various places. They control absolute weapons of violence and can formulate rules for the weak.
Any planet that dares to openly support the Resistance must consider whether it can withstand a Star Destroyer Cannon from the Death Star.
Otherwise, the fate waiting for them is to be wiped out in ashes!
In the absence of support from outside forces, the resistance forces were particularly difficult to fight against the Galactic Empire.
However, from the perspective of the giant fleets of the world watching this scene from a distance, the Death Star was just like that, not something too powerful.
But if you can get an upgraded version of the Death Star, it will attract everyone’s attention.
The history of the development of giant companies in the world is also the history of weapon updates and iterations, from the inefficient star blasts fired by starships to the current star blasts with one luminous particle.
This is the result of the gradual growth of giant companies around the world.
But now, the world’s giants are no longer satisfied with the power of a single star explosion, but focus on group damage and the construction of deadly weapons that can destroy a star system!
Although if you want to destroy a star system, you only need to explode the stars in the star system, which will cause the surrounding planets to die and deplete.
But this slow death process is not the efficiency that the world’s giants want. What Li Ang wants is to clear the field quickly with one shot!
Therefore, the construction of the Starfall Sky Spear giant structure and the acquisition of Starkiller Base technology are the current top priorities of the giant company.
Compared with developing the Death Star’s upgrade technology on its own, it would save time and resources to buy the technology from others for free. This is why Li Ang did not upgrade the Death Star himself.
He came here all the way through free prostitution, and made his fortune by relying on the free prostitution skills.
If he wants to engage in independent research and development, unless he really can’t get the relevant technology, otherwise Li Ang will not easily waste resources in this area.
“The Holy City of Jedah…is gone.”
The rebel allies who drove the spaceship out of danger watched in despair as their former home base was completely reduced to dust.
Different from the indifferent members of the giant fleets of the world, the emotions they felt were deep despair and fear.
With such a huge gap in weapons between the Rebels and the Empire, do they really have any hope of overthrowing the Empire?
Let alone a celestial-level battle space station like the Death Star, these idiots don’t even have a corresponding Star Destroyer.
Whether it is weapons reserves or industrial production areas, there is no way to compare with the Galactic Empire.
Once they meet the Death Star head-on, it will undoubtedly be an egg against a stone, and the fate waiting for them will be the same as that of the Jeta Star.
The only hope at the moment is to obtain the Death Star design information from the clues left by Galen Erso and find a way to destroy the Death Star. This is the Rebel Alliance’s only chance to defeat the Empire.
However, at this moment, some people within the rebel army were already feeling desperate, believing that it was impossible for them alone to defeat the powerful Galactic Empire.
The two sides began to argue about where to go next. At this time, the spacecraft’s communication system suddenly received a message.
The source of the news is none other than Paul Atreides!
[Everyone, I am glad to see that you are safe and sound. It seems that the hope of the rebels has been preserved. 】
The moment the connection was successfully established, Paul’s holographic projection appeared in front of the rebels.
But the first time he saw Paul, Captain Cassian was very wary. He asked him: “How did you know our communication channel?”
From the first moment he saw Paul, Cassian always felt that this guy was weird, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.
His instinct told him that Paul didn’t look like a “local.”
“Sorry, before that, I secretly put a small tracker on you. This is so that we can re-establish contact with you as soon as possible after being separated.”
Paul responded calmly that he would not easily give up the opportunity to sneak into the rebel camp, otherwise it would be difficult to obtain the technical drawings of Starkiller Base on his own.
“Who are you? I always feel that your true identity is not just a Jedi Knight!”
After seeing Paul’s ability, Captain Cassian became more and more curious about this guy’s background. This Jedi Knight who came out of nowhere must have many unknown secrets.
“It’s not just the Rebel Alliance in the galaxy that is resisting the dictatorship of the Empire. It’s not just you who can’t stand the Empire.”
Paul used ambiguous words to fool Cassian’s questioning, “Our people are also acting in secret, so you are not alone.”
Hearing this, Jyn Erso blinked and asked in confusion: “So, you are another resistance force.”
Paul took the opportunity to go downhill and nodded to everyone: “Yes, but our actions are more secretive. We have been lurking in the dark and looking for new opportunities.”
“Could it be…you are the Jedi Knights?!”
Combined with Paul’s identity as a Jedi Knight, plus his young face, he has skills that are not inferior to Jedi Masters.
It is hard not to believe that Paul is a high-ranking member of the Jedi Order, and the extinct Jedi are reviving!
“The Jedi Order no longer exists, but we are indeed trying our best to survive and fight the Empire.”
After that, Paul led the topic to the right track: “Since we have obtained the specific location of the information, we will set off immediately.”
“Otherwise, when the Imperial Army reacts, everything will be too late!”
Paul persuaded all the rebels present to actively cooperate with their upcoming actions.
“In addition, I propose that we split into two groups. You go to the Imperial Engineering Institute to rescue Galen Erso, and I go to Scarif to take the design of the Death Star.”
The Imperial Engineering Institute and Scarif are two different places, and there is no doubt that Scarif, which keeps the design of the Death Star, is more dangerous.
That is the key fortress planet of the Empire, where a large number of Imperial Storm Troopers are deployed. The shield force field spread all over the planet alone makes people feel that they have nowhere to start.
However, with the weapons and cannons of the Universal Corporation, it is not difficult to overload the shield force field device.
Under Paul’s series of arrangements, Cassian and Jyn Erso, the rebels, will go to rescue Galen Erso, and the real Rogue One will have to be his turn!
Captain Cassian has no objection to the task assigned by Paul. Obviously, stealing the Death Star design is more dangerous than rescuing Galen.
If even the Jedi Knights can’t do this, then they are naturally even less likely to take it down.
In contrast, rescuing Jyn’s father Galen Erso is much easier. At least there is no planetary shield force field there, so there is no need to worry about being trapped inside.
“I understand. I will report to the alliance departments now and ask them to organize armed forces immediately.” Captain Cassian said.
Paul nodded. If the two sides can reach a consensus, then the next thing will be much easier.
Immediately, both sides officially began their respective actions.
Cassian and Jyn Erso and his team went directly to rescue Galen Erso, and Paul needed to find a way to get the design of the Death Star.
Such a dangerous action, of course, needs to be planned in the long run, so Paul and Chinny returned to the Hyperion and reported the situation here to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.
Just as Paul drove the transforming spacecraft to land on the Hyperion, he said to Penny Wells, who had returned a long time ago:
“Penny, you should take a team of Iron Hands and follow the rebels to rescue him. He is a very valuable scientist.”
“If we can recruit him, we will be faster in building the Starkiller Base!”
As the chief designer of the Death Star, Galen Erso’s value is self-evident. If he can be accepted, even if the Death Star design is not stolen, the giant company can still build the Starkiller Base.
The most important thing is that regardless of whether the rescue of the rebels is successful or not, the Universal Corporation must take down this force, otherwise according to the boss’s temper, he would rather destroy this group of unstable factors!
“I understand.”
The young Pani nodded. Although he had just escaped from the Jedha planet, Pani still took the task without hesitation.
As the son of Marshal Jack Wells, he didn’t want to embarrass his father.
At this moment, Leon, who was sitting at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, had received all the situation reports from the front line.
After learning about the decision made by Paul, he thought for a moment. If he remembered correctly, once Scarif was in danger.
Darth Vader, the famous villain in the “Star Wars” universe, will personally lead his flagship, the Executor Super Star Destroyer, to support the planet!
Darth Vader’s original name was Anakin Skywalker. He was once an outstanding Jedi Knight of the Force, but under the instigation of Palpatine, he went to the dark side and became a minion of the Empire.
This is a real “Jedi Knight”. Leon is not sure whether Paul can defeat him alone. If not, he must make a perfect plan.
After all, the scale of Vader’s flagship Executor is more than ten times that of the Imperial Star Destroyer, and the overall length has reached an astonishing 19 kilometers.
Even among the battleship models of giant companies, this can be called a giant battleship.
And if you want to fight this huge battleship, you must also send out a giant ship of the same weight, such as the Long Night from the Star Alliance, or the Sojourner Dreadnought.
Nowadays, the front-line deployment of the Universal Corporation in the “Star Wars” universe has been basically completed. At this time, even if it is to overturn the table with the Galactic Empire, it is just a matter of course.
Since the two sides are destined to fight an earth-shaking interstellar naval battle, make enough formations in advance!
“Tell David to get ready for the war, it will soon be their turn!”
Leon gave orders to Jack Wells. The troops David brought included the most advanced Mantle and Transformed War Moon Megastructure of the Universal Corporation.
With such a battleship configuration, it should not be difficult to deal with Darth Vader’s fleet.
“Yes.”
Jack nodded, turned around and conveyed Leon’s highest order to David on the front line, asking him to make subsequent combat deployments.
When the headquarters began to coordinate the war with the Galactic Empire, V from the edge of the galaxy in the “Star Wars” universe suddenly sent a call request.
“Boss, it’s a message from Marshal V.” Secretary General Lucy reminded.
“Well, answer it.”
As soon as the voice fell, V’s figure appeared in front of the central control panel of the entire headquarters. Judging from his slightly serious expression, V seemed to have discovered something incredible this time!
[Boss, we have a new discovery here. ]
It turned out that since V, under the order of Leon, led the most elite expeditionary corps of the Universal Giant Enterprise to the edge of the Milky Way.
V sent a large number of AI drones and various reconnaissance devices at the first time. Not long after, they investigated something terrifying.
That is, the Yuuzhan Vong people far away in the extragalactic galaxy have launched a large number of biological reconnaissance devices into the Milky Way.
These reconnaissance devices look like ordinary rocks, but inside they are quite sophisticated electronic devices and unknown biological tissues.
And this is also the technological feature of the Yuuzhan Vong civilization. Many of their weapons and devices are various strange insects or strange beasts.
For example, explosive bugs that can destroy armor, woksin beasts that hunt force-sensitive people, and vonduin crabs that resist artillery, and even coral jump boats.
The mysterious and wild alien creations from the outer world are all weapons and armor devices of the Yuuzhan Vong, highlighting a barbaric characteristic.
[According to the analysis of the reconnaissance instruments we collected, the Yuuzhan Vong may have already set their sights on this “paradise” as early as the clone war in the “Star Wars” universe! ]
[They may even have planted their own political spies inside the Milky Way to observe the changes in the Milky Way at all times. ]
V’s words immediately made all the staff present feel a scalp tingling.
Imagine that an empire in internal chaos is busy dealing with the rebels and the uprising army, constantly consuming its own power.
On the periphery of the Milky Way, there is a vicious unknown civilization, staring at the empire, ready to pounce on the weakened and exhausted powerful empire at any time, and invade the Milky Way civilization.
The rebels and the empire fought each other to a loss, but in the end, the barbaric civilization of the extragalactic galaxy benefited from it.
This scene is very similar to the historical tragedy that once happened in China, that is, the “Five Barbarians Invading China”!
