Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The bus drove away from the airport.

Driving close to the ground between the streets of the metropolitan area, inside the bus, the intelligence recruits who had listened to Shirley's lectures were already sitting in their seats, observing Gusteva's local scene through the single-sided window.

If it is only in the ground block, then Gusteva is very similar to any colony. After all, the metropolitan area is generally a steel jungle, with many giant buildings and giant apartments standing tall.

However, when the driver adjusts the suspension power of the bus, and drives upwards along an overpass without road surface, merges into the airway between buildings and the crowded airway with traffic flow, and then proceeds to the metropolitan area through continuous ascending operation At the top of the channel, the intelligence recruits can finally get a glimpse of Gusteva.

Looking to the south behind them, there is an excellent resort with beaches and rainforests, while the west of the metropolitan area is the concentration of high-tech, digital and other private enterprises, and even electronic entertainment companies.

For example, now, they can see a large holographic screen in the sky in the west, playing a promotional video titled The 42nd Electronic Communication Summit.

As a Gustava with a diameter of about 18,000 kilometers, a population of 7.4 billion, and a colonial history of more than 70 years, it has a complete self-industrial chain.

Even if one day, Gustvar's galaxy is suddenly cut off from the earth, the solar system and other colonies, and the stargate and fault space navigation fail, then Gustvar can still retain a strong potential for self-development.

Of course, this someday assumption is far from realistic.

The galaxy where Gusteva is located is about 16,000 light-years away from the solar system. If you observe it on a flat star map, Gusteva is located at the lower left end of the solar system, in the redemption sector (Governor Korak Si and Raven Guard are in charge of the outskirts of the star sector), but it is not divided into the jurisdiction of the Redemption star sector.

Today, the diameter of the territory of human beings in the main universe is about 42,000 light-years.

In the past hundred years, the governors of the Primarch not only wanted to develop the star regions under their jurisdiction, but also gradually expanded outward.

But this best way to earn credit makes people who often squat at home and follow orders to guard the core universe of mankind, especially Glory Iron Fist and Thutmose of the solar system, are very jealous.

Although these two legions are theoretically the most trusted by their father in terms of their status, so they stay not far away, and once they have new equipment, these two legions will be the first to be fully equipped, but the long-term sit Cold bench will still lead to a psychological imbalance between the two legions.

In order to avoid this situation, Sui Bian asked Rogge and Magnus, who knew their own legions best, to select the youngest and most impatient battalion, and leave the core territory one by one to go to the periphery alone. fight.

Or cooperate with other legions to clear up certain pirates and aliens, or participate in small-scale expeditions in other star regions, relying on such military operations to earn merits and honors.

However, sometimes, if a battalion is released by the Primarchs, and then uses its own fleet and auxiliary army to wipe out a hostile alien race and occupy the galaxy of the alien race, then, it should The planet will then belong to the battalion.

Therefore, a careful observation on the plane star map reveals that there are many golden yellow colors representing the Iron Fist of Glory, as well as the red-gold star fields and galaxies of Thutmose.

Gusteva's galaxy was snatched by the 45th Battalion of Thutmose eighty years ago from the remnants of the Covenant Empire who fled from the border fortress sector and established a base here.

Afterwards, Gusteva belonged to the jurisdiction of the 45th Battalion, which has made many achievements and outstanding military exploits. Since then, the 45th Battalion has a considerable degree of self-sufficiency, and there is no need to ask for anything from the Legion.

But this self-sufficiency refers to the manufacture and maintenance of batteries and ammunition, ground and air vehicles. On the other hand, in terms of warships and power armor, the 45th Battalion can maintain itself, and cannot and must not carry out independent construction.

As for the selection of suitable candidates for G gland implantation surgery, and the transformation surgery of the Auxiliary Army today, the 45th Battalion has the right to select suitable personnel and send them to Luna base on the moon and Minos Island on the earth for training and transformation. But he has no right to carry out the process of reconstructive surgery independently.

Because this is a rule, from the beginning of the establishment of the legion, it was clarified that the power armor of the battleships at all levels and the specifications of the auxiliary army such as TPS and CMC were all provided by the foundry star area authorized by Sui Bian.

As for Thor's Hammer and Ceramic Steel Armor, which only Astartes can control and use, as well as various types of Terminator, Centurion, and Titan Mecha are produced by the solar system.

In terms of remodeling surgery...

UEG and UNSC are responsible for strictly prohibiting private enterprises and organizations from conducting private research. Once discovered, they will definitely be punished at the highest level.

Secretly, Umbrella's red and white queens and low-intelligence artificial intelligence monitor the entire human territory to ensure that there will be no such bold companies and organizations to carry out super soldier projects and plans.

To put it bluntly, this kind of enterprises and organizations are to bring mankind to a higher level, but to put it bluntly, most of them are for their own selfish desires, and they are going to rely on the imitation Astartes to gain more power.

Human beings entered the early stage of the interstellar era. At that time, Umbrella had not officially released the Astartes. Such enterprises and organizations sprung up like mushrooms, trying to create so-called enhanced people, and then use their own strong capital to create Prepare to completely occupy a certain colony.

The moment the spring bamboo shoots just emerged and showed their true nature, such enterprises and organizations ushered in the real care and care of the Astartes.

After all, in the fields of biology and chemistry, who is born halfway can compare with Umbrella, who has Sui Bian in charge?

What's more, Umbrella, who was in power in Sui Bian, has long put the pattern and vision on the human being as a whole, so he has no time to fight with a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Since then, after a long period of bloody turmoil, such enterprises and organizations have basically been eradicated.

That's why Umbrella firmly controlled the G gland and the core technology of the reconstruction surgery within the solar system.

It wasn't that Sui Bian was overly worried that his heirs would rebel, but it was just in case and to avoid leaks. Even if the chance of this in case was so small that there was no chance, Sui Bian, who was cautious by nature, could not relax and slack off.

As for the 45th Battalion of Thutmose, in the history of mankind entering the interstellar era, it is definitely a legendary existence.

One hundred and twenty-three years ago, the first contact and confrontation between humans and the Covenant Empire broke out on the surface of Harvest Star and its galaxy.

At that time, Gabriel Angelos and others who had just taken office and belonged to the Thutmose Reserve Combat Platoon, cooperated with the crew headed by Miranda Martha, relying on the only Paris-class frigate, the length was only The Retribution, which was more than 500 meters away, was going to fight against the covenant empire's advance fleet consisting of an aircraft carrier close to 4 kilometers away and two cruisers with a distance of 1.4 kilometers.

Looking at the statistics alone, Gabriel and Miranda are at an absolute disadvantage.

However, wars often cannot be judged or estimated by relying on data.

Miranda relied on the speed advantage of the Paris class to deal with the covenant fleet, while Gabriel led the brothers to jump to the flagship of the covenant fleet.

Relying on being the first and last line of defense of Harvest Star, he broke out in a decisive battle, fearless courage and momentum, and created a textbook-level battle of winning more with less.

It is worth mentioning that Shirley was also on Harvest Star back then, and she also led local intelligence personnel to discover and excavate the remains of the administrator civilization, and became old acquaintances with Gabriel, Miranda and others.

Since then, Gabriel and his brothers who participated in this battle have directly obtained the qualifications to be promoted to full members of the legion. Even all the surviving members of the Retribution, because of their extraordinary courage and record, were promoted from the UNSC Transferred to Thutmose's auxiliary army.

This group of Astartes and mortal warriors who had experienced the Battle of the Harvest Star served as the foundation, and gradually developed and expanded over time, eventually evolving into the 45th Battalion of Thutmose today.

And because the 45th Battalion, under the leadership of Battalion Commander Gabriel Angelos, has a brave and life-threatening combat style, which is appreciated by Magnus, so it was awarded the Blood Raven from the Primarch. I hope that I can continue to use my superb strength and fearless tactics to crush any forces that dare to be hostile to human beings.

at this time.

The bus has already passed through the most prosperous area of ​​the metropolitan area by using the air channel, carrying Shirley and a group of intelligence recruits. The crow built a base on the surface.

The most eye-catching thing is the routine maintenance. At the same time, in order to prepare for the supply of living supplies, the Blood Raven fleet chose to enter the atmosphere and park above the dedicated star port.

Among them, the length is eight kilometers, and it belongs to the improved Zeus class as the flagship. The electromagnetic main gun can even accelerate a 60-ton tungsten-iron projectile with a 4,000-meter barrel in a very short period of time. The maximum power can make the The projectile exits the bore at 55% of the speed of light.

From this point of view, the electromagnetic accelerator can definitely be regarded as the best weapon for human beings to break the surface with a point, and is responsible for penetrating, piercing, and disintegrating all armor and shields of the enemy forces. At the same time, the electromagnetic accelerator can also be regarded as a human weapon. Typical.

In addition to the Zeus-class improved version that looks like a rhombic column, the Blood Raven fleet also has a five-kilometer armored ship with excellent short-range air defense system. It looks like an enlarged and extended version of the Phoenix-class support ship, but in order to consider space utilization, There are no supply ships with any long-range artillery installed.

The capacity is extremely strong, and the built-in construction and maintenance workshops are enough to provide supplies and support for the entire Blood Raven fleet. It even carries a large number of auxiliary troops, as well as ground and air vehicles, which can greatly increase the blood crow battalion's ability to attack a planet. The looting, occupation and domination of the surface.

The remaining ship is a firm-class frigate, a three-kilometer-long super-heavy cruiser with long-range, medium-range and short-range strike capabilities, which looks like a shotgun.

The four ships are the entire size of the Blood Raven fleet. It looks a bit small, but the expensive is powerful. Moreover, the galaxy including Gusteva is under the jurisdiction of the Blood Raven, which also means that the Blood Raven can mobilize, Command UNSC and military forces across the galaxy.

now.

Seeing that the bus is lowering its altitude according to the guidance of the channel, and finally driving out of the sky, returning to the ground highway in the suburbs, and getting closer and closer to the base where the Blood Raven Fleet is moored, all the intelligence recruits feel a little nervous...

After all, in a short time, their group of fledgling recruits will meet with a battalion commander of the legion, and Gabriel Angelos, who has completed a second operation and has brilliant deeds, how could he not be nervous?

However, when the recruits were looking forward to the meeting scene, and rehearsing words and actions in their minds, Shirley Birken, who was sitting at the front of the bus and by the window on the right, noticed that her exclusive mobile phone was Shake violently.

?

Is there another sudden abnormal phenomenon?

Dealing with abnormal phenomena, like dealing with trivial matters in life, Shirley frowned slightly when she took out her mobile phone, thinking that her beautiful day would be interrupted again.

never mind.

Shirley, who was too lazy to tangle, soothed her eyebrows, unlocked the crystal flake-like phone screen, tapped the call reminder sent by the assistant with her index finger, and then raised the phone to her ear and asked:

What's the matter?

Director Birken... On the other side of the phone, a report from a female assistant came: Not long ago, we detected the asteroid belt on the outskirts of the galaxy, and there was a space distortion response, and then it was sent back by the unmanned patrol reconnaissance ship. It can be confirmed that it is a small vortex space gate with a diameter of six kilometers connecting other parallel universes.

The vortex space gate? Xue Li raised her left eyebrow frivolously, showing surprise and panic that she had never shown before.

In fact, even the female assistant thought that the emergence of the vortex space door was an abnormal event that could not be more normal, and Umbrella and even the UNSC were used to it.

At this stage, the social ethos of humans in the main universe is even more inclined to go to other universes to save compatriots who are in dire straits, or to educate and teach those who are not very honest and go astray.

It can be said that, under the guidance of Umbrella, the human beings in the main universe seem to have more and more the demeanor of the Master of the Galaxy. The idea of ​​the universe, of different galaxies...

It's just that the way humans in the main universe manages the galaxy is more radical.

Yes, the supervisor. At this time, the female assistant continued to report: We have uploaded the information of the vortex space gate and are waiting for the company's latest instructions.

What's the reaction from Battalion Commander Angelos? Shirley asked again.

Hearing this, the female assistant still reported in a flat tone: It is said that Battalion Commander Angelos submitted an application to the Thutmose Legion and the company, hoping that the Blood Raven Battalion will be fully responsible for the space gate incident for the time being. If the space gate The situation at the end is too severe, and then the legion and the company will take over.
