Umbrella Corporation - Chapter 379
c381 It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together
Six million troops are nothing compared to the demons that are counted in trillions, but this number can already occupy one side of the Shadow Plain.
The vast Shadow Plain contains a lot of resources, and there are more than 116 types of ores alone.
Even if this plain is full of stones, the group can use the Hope Furnace to dig stones and produce more than one trillion tons of steel.
Now the factory has been built and is still expanding. The equipment equipped in the simple factory is not too complicated. It may be a bit monotonous to use all of them to build a demon power plant, but the current use of demons can only go this far.
After all, demons are also a kind of life, and they are crazy lives. Except for a few who can mobilize energy, other demons only have strong bodies and useless killing desires.
They cannot be tamed, and even cannot be enslaved.
Therefore, the proportion of demons in the development plan of hell is relatively small. More are the various environmental resources in hell, and the most valuable sub-gold energy.
Argentum energy is a mysterious energy with a high utilization rate and unexplored properties. Some people even think that agarite energy is strongly related to dark matter that only exists in conjecture, and may also have a certain connection with the nature of the universe.
To mine agarite energy, it is necessary to capture the strongholds commanded by high-level demons.
There is no rush for this matter. Blitzkrieg will not play a big role in hell, and few creatures in hell can compete with thermal weapons. They can first stabilize a stronghold and then take it slowly.
Shadow Plain is the best. The terrain here is open and spacious enough to accommodate factories and military camps.
Six million troops and engineering teams began to carry out infrastructure construction with Shadow Plain as the core. In addition to factories and energy equipment, they also need to build stable firepower platforms and air defense facilities.
There are many demons’ flying units, so it is necessary to build air defense facilities.
In order to maximize the power generation efficiency of the demon factory, the newly built factory has been upgraded from the original one-story to three-story, and the equipment has also been upgraded. In fact, the little demon does not need a 35-centimeter workshop…
The factory is expanding, and new employees are constantly being hired.
Demons often run into the Shadow Plains. Young and energetic demons will be caught and transformed in the factory. They are idle every day and can’t have children, so their value can only be reflected in the factory.
The expanding army soon became short of manpower due to the increase in occupied areas. It had to go back and apply for a navy and army of about two million troops, and build a large number of computer rooms, so that a large number of unmanned equipment can replace the boring guard duty. The soldiers’ job is to catch demons and explore unknown areas.
Because the vastness of the Shadow Plains, the group’s military strength cannot be placed entirely in hell, so Duncan listened to opinions and prepared to sell part of the hell mining rights to allow more people to join the development work.
The first to respond to the call were the various federations of the Plane Union Organization. Members of the Resident Evil World, the Killer World, the Marvel World, the Transformers World, the Atlas World, and the Weird World all decided to send 5 million to 10 million people into Hell to mine resources.
They are all our own people. The vast Shadow Plain is enough to be divided. Even if it is not enough, there are countless pieces of land outside the Shadow Plain. The most valuable is actually the Argentinium Energy Pool occupied by the high-level demon lords.
But before the human joint army fully occupies the Shadow Plain and prepares to attack the territory of the Hell Lords, the group needs to initiate a meeting with the Plane Union Organization to reach some consensus.
The most important thing is the extraction and use of Argentinium Energy.
It is unknown how long the Hell Plane has existed, and it is unknown how many souls Hell has absorbed. The nearly endless land contains unimaginable Argentinium slurry, which humans cannot mine completely.
Although the resources will not be drained, if countries rely too much on Argentinium energy, mankind will fall into development stagnation. Once the acquisition of Argentinium energy is in trouble, society will immediately fall into an energy crisis.
So you can use sub-gold energy, but you can’t rely on it too much, and you must maintain the diversity of energy.
No one objects to this, and there is also the matter of biological experiments.
No one has any objection to using demons for experiments, and it is not within the human rights consensus, but it still needs to be carried out under joint supervision.
When conducting dangerous experiments in hell, you also need to report to the system, and it can only be implemented after confirmation.
After spending three days to confirm thousands of rules, big and small, humans began to spread outward with Shadow Plain as the center.
There are many more weird people and things in the troops outside the group. These soldiers are professional soldiers who rarely leave their original world. They are naturally very curious about hell.
Their strong curiosity prompted them to explore spontaneously, touching here and knocking there.
Finally, the army from the Earth Federation of the killer world found a ground crack portal in the corner of Shadow Plain.
Hell, which connects multiple planes, showed its magic to everyone with an accident.
The reason why we confirmed that this energy flow in the underground crack is the portal to the new world is because two soldiers accidentally fell into it, and then activated the safety device Dimension Lasso and appeared in the headquarters, bringing back the real information.
According to the recorder description of the two soldiers, the world connected to hell is an earth-like planet with an atmosphere and humans can breathe normally.
And there was civilization on it, with a network.
I am not sure that it is the Earth in a different dimension, because the Internet in that world is very different. The sensors built into the combat helmet are connected to the open network, but they receive a new computer language, which is also corrosive.
The artificial intelligence built into the combat helmet self-destructed after issuing an invasion warning, and the two soldiers had to return to the hell plane before they had explored for long.
It was the first time to go to the new world through hell. Fortunately, the dimension lasso recorded what can be called coordinates. Reverse transmission can go to the world discovered by accident again, or re-enter through the portal in the ground crack.
Based on the principle of discovery first, exploration first.
This time, the exploration power group only symbolically sent some guidance experts and 200 super soldiers to assist. The troops in the killer world that have completed technological transformation were very excited to send soldiers to expand the underground cracks and start to go to the new world.
Because there was not much experience, the federation of the killer world stuffed 20,000 army troops and two hill-class flying fish cruisers (battleships manufactured by the killer world federation) into the new world at one time, as well as more than 300 experts of various names who were urgently transferred.
They were swaggering, not caring about being attacked at all, on the contrary, they were very casual.
Because they had a huge organization behind them, did they need to be so cautious when entering the new world to engage in diplomacy?
Do they understand friendly diplomacy and free trade?
Twenty thousand army soldiers sat on tanks and mechas, holding Gauss rifles and looking around in the new world. The place where they appeared was an open space with only withered yellow weeds. Looking up, the sky was gray-blue, which looked a bit like a cloudy day. There were brown and yellow dust waves on the edge. The environment was very depressing compared to the earth.
The troops that stayed in place did not move. Although they had someone to support them, they still had basic courtesy. They took out the equipment that was not connected to the internal network and prepared to hand over the control of the new equipment to the people of this world to announce their arrival.
The computer monitor quickly turned into snowflakes, just as the two unlucky soldiers said.
The six computer experts were so fast and controlled by brain waves that they sweated on their foreheads. They barely controlled the portable terminal connected to the equipment and limited the network intrusion to the equipment they took out.
After wiping his sweat, the commander of the operation beside him asked the computer expert with concern: “How is it?”
The leader was selected from the six experts and explained: “It’s hard to say. The computer language they use is different from ours. I can’t see any information, but… it shouldn’t be difficult to understand.”
Sweating on the forehead does not mean that the computer technology in this world is very advanced. This is what happens when laymen get started with a new thing. They get flustered and can slowly understand it.
Once they are familiar with the underlying logic of the new language, they will probably be much more relaxed.
The commander who heard the nonsense was not angry, and continued: “Then can you contact them?”
“No…” Seeing the commander’s gloomy face, the computer expert hurriedly said: “The language is not the same, we need to find a language expert to communicate. As long as we send the coordinates, they should know that we are here!”
“Okay, let’s do it!”
The commander thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The two warships temporarily stopped, and activated the force field shield, waiting for the people in this world to find them and then contact them.
The soldiers who were on standby at the original location activated the camera function on their devices, and took some memorable photos with this world as the background.
After all, it was said before the mission that the new world is not the earth.
Except that the Avatar world is not the earth, they have never seen other alien planets. In their long lives, they must keep some video materials as a souvenir when encountering such new things, and they can use them to show off during vacation.
Nowadays, people have no shortage of food and clothing, and their spiritual needs and needs for showing off have exceeded their material needs. Even if they come to serve in the army, they are just trying to satisfy their own beliefs and pursuits.
Some people squatted on the ground to pull weeds to see if the grass that is not on the earth is the same as the grass on the earth, and whether the stones on the ground have any characteristics?
As a result, everything around them is very ordinary, and there is nothing worth mentioning, which greatly disappointed the soldiers.
Not long after, this world showed its own characteristics. They did not wait for the foreign teaching team to try to contact them here, but instead waited for a beam of energy from far to near.
The red particle energy beam made an ultra-long-range attack and accurately hit one of the flying fish cruisers. The standby force field shields dangerously shifted the energy to both sides and withstood the attack.
The soldiers on the ground were in complete chaos. They quickly climbed onto the tanks or grabbed the mechas nearby, and suddenly scattered in all directions from the state of gathering in the original place. After being attacked, they dispersed and looked for shelters.
The two warships were startled by the sudden attack and hurriedly opened up their distance to maneuver to avoid being locked again.
This was the first time they encountered such a situation and the first time they entered the other world for development. The group’s external experts on the cruiser thought about it and gave a guess: “Maybe they regarded us as enemies, or this world is in a war, and they attacked the armed forces that unexpectedly appeared in the territory?”
The commander who was still in shock thought it made sense, but they didn’t speak the same language, couldn’t communicate in calculations, and maybe even had different cultural customs. It was difficult to communicate. How could they let the people in the new world know that they had no ill intentions?
If they attack directly, it will affect diplomacy. Diplomacy is small, but the impact on image is big.
Although being attacked is very annoying, it is not difficult to understand.
However, the commander does not intend to let them continue to fight like this. Since the people in the new world do not come to them to understand the situation, they will take the initiative to find them, provided that the computer experts have built a firewall, otherwise it is easy to be invaded by information.
The average IQ of humans is very high at present, at least there will not be some puzzling humanoid life disguised as humans.
The computer experts who stayed in place gathered together to study the new algorithms for a while, and barely understood how they work. Anti-intrusion programs can be developed, but this is a dynamic competition. The computer technology in this world is not bad, and a special AI is needed to continuously resolve attacks.
This is very simple. Copy an AI in this world, load it into a quantum computer, write it into a firewall, learn for three to five minutes, and resist a few intrusions with human assistance. AI can deal with attacks maturely.
After solving the problem of network intrusion, they can now use communication equipment and unmanned equipment without scruples.
Suddenly, a large number of drones flew out of the Feiyu warship. These drones flew out from the bottom of the armor, flew to the place where the attack was launched and the surroundings, and roughly searched for local people.
This practice is no different from illegal invasion, but they were all attacked. In order to avoid losses and cause greater misunderstandings, Yingdao forcefully found the New World people quickly and communicated with them clearly.
The drone flew straight for more than 30 kilometers before it saw the shadow of the building, but what they saw was the ruins of the building. The broken reinforced concrete piled up into a hill, and on this hill was a mechanical behemoth made of rusty steel.
It was like a four-legged spider, with a round head and two glowing red round eyes. Behind it was a thick gun barrel, and red light was gathering at this time. Obviously, it was the culprit who attacked the diplomatic fleet!
When the figure of the mechanical behemoth was transmitted back to the warship, fierce discussions rang out. The reinforced concrete ruins under the feet and the mechanical behemoth lying on the ruins were obviously war weapons that destroyed the city!
They were not sure whether there was a driver inside, but it was true that the situation became complicated.
Their inference may be correct. The people in this world seem to be in a state of war. However, judging from the degree of weathering of the ruins and the dust coverage, this war may have lasted for quite some time and may have been of considerable scale.
