Chapter 190 Return! Ideal City Completed! Confidentiality Agreement!
"Boss, this is the floating stone ring you requested. The craftsmen in our company have already made it for you."

At this time, an Astartes warrior guard came over and respectfully presented an exquisite ring to Leon.

This ring is made of suspended stones from Pandora. Leon plans to keep it as a personal souvenir of his colonial journey.

After taking the floating stone ring, Li Ang chuckled faintly.

On the planet Pandora, perhaps the most valuable resource is this suspended stone with room-temperature superconducting properties.

In addition to achieving magnetic levitation, room-temperature superconducting materials can also significantly reduce the energy loss caused during power transmission.

The magical properties of this material can greatly improve the efficiency of power transmission.

In the natural universe, natural room-temperature superconducting materials like suspended stone are rare.

Even the polymer materials that LA already has have to be synthesized through a series of complex chemical substances before they can be used.

Of course, the main function of suspended stone resources is currently to maintain the ideal city.

As for the room-temperature superconducting materials, LA company already has more applicable and cheaper polymer materials, and there is no need for suspended stones at all.

"Since we are here, why not take a rest on this planet for a while and relax."

Looking at the rainforest on Pandora with its psychedelic colors of blue and purple, Leon decided to take a short vacation on Pandora for the time being.

Anyway, it will take another six or seven years to complete the construction of the Ideal City, so we might as well take advantage of this gap to let the Infinity Fleet conduct some exercises in the Pandora Galaxy.

Let these spirited young men blow up some stars, collect some resources from other planets, or practice some starship array attack military exercises or something.

By the way, let the company's engineers and scientific research members carefully study the technological points left by alien civilizations in the "Eva" database.

And study the genes of various creatures on Pandora.

Thinking of this, Li Ang completely emptied his mind and focused all his attention on appreciating the alien sight before him.

We've been fighting all day, it's time to take a good rest for a few years.

……

……

Seven years later.

At noon on the sunny side of Pandora, it is located in the dense forest about 1268 kilometers north and east of the rainforest in area 60.

V, who had completed the last mission instruction, couldn't help but turn back and take a look at this beautiful yet deadly alien world.

Pandora has magnificent and fascinating scenery, but unfortunately it is not suitable for long-term residence of humans and people can only come here occasionally for vacation.

"V, are you attracted to that Na'vi alien chick named Neytiri? Damn... don't joke with me like that."

"You two are reproductively isolated!"

Jack Wells said to V with a playful look on his face.

In the past few years, engineers and soldiers from LA Company have expressed their intention to leave Pandora and return home.

The Na'vi people here unexpectedly established "friendly" diplomatic relations with humans.

Regardless of whether this bizarre way of establishing diplomatic relations of "killing and setting fire first, and then shaking hands and making peace with the other party" implies coercion, the Na'vi people have to accept it whether they like it or not.

It is much better to serve these human masters honestly for a few years than to have guns and big ships pointed at your head.

But during this period of time, some Na'vi natives actually established friendships with humans.

For example, V and Neytiri.

Perhaps it was because of V's natural social charm that even the alien girl let go of her past grudges against him and sincerely accepted this honest human warrior.

Under the guidance of Neytiri, V has seen the magnificent scenery of Pandora over the past few years.

This really opened the eyes of V, who had never traveled far and had little experience.

There are so many magnificent civilizations in the vast universe, how can he only focus on the small world of Earth?

"Jack, if Neytiri knew about this joke of yours, she would shoot your ass with a bow and arrow."

V shook his head and smiled. He didn't have the heart to flirt with the aliens, but he was indeed a little reluctant to leave this magnificent planet Pandora.

After all, we don’t know when we will see such a beautiful natural planet again.

Speaking of which, V, who was born a wanderer, actually yearns for a planetary world that is more natural.

Ideal City is good, but it is a little too cold.

If he really has a choice, V would prefer to stay in a natural scenic area.

"Haha! I know you are reluctant to leave Pandora. I feel the same way as you."

Jack smiled carelessly and said, as V's good brother, how could he not understand what V was thinking.

"Don't worry, V. There will be many other alien worlds waiting for us to conquer in the future. By then, maybe we can each get a natural planet!"

"When the time comes, you can wander around and play around, and no one will care about you."

Jack smiled like the silly son of a landlord, but his fantasy was for the future LA company, a world-class giant company that encompasses the universe.

It is not difficult for every Astartes warrior to be assigned a natural and beautiful alien planet.

And as a veteran employee of the company, V might even be able to be assigned a resource area of ​​a galaxy!
Everyone wants to play Landlord, and everyone wants to be a landlord.

Jack Wells is no exception.

However, V has not thought about this yet. He just wants to continue fighting for the company and strive for the honor of the legion.

As for the enjoyment after retirement, he is not considering it for the time being.

"Let's go, it's time for us to return home!"

V nodded and chuckled, saying that no matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it is not a human home after all.

Then, V resolutely turned around and walked into the cabin of the Skyhawk shuttle.

On the surface of Pandora, countless Na'vi natives cried for joy and waved goodbye to the sky people who were about to leave.

It’s not that they are reluctant to leave these human warriors, but they are glad that these human uncles have finally left!
If they don't leave now, it's time for them to leave.

"Look! This is the influence of our company."

Jack couldn't help but smile as he watched the Na'vi on the ground chasing the shuttle and waving goodbye to them frantically.

After giving these Na'vi people a slap in the face, in the end, they still had to treat them like masters. Anyone in their place would be delighted.

"Those garrison soldiers who stayed behind to mine were lucky. I've seen their working environment, and it doesn't look like a hard-working mining team at all."

"He is clearly the emperor of Pandora!"

Jack cursed.

V shook his head and smiled, without saying anything more.

War is just a means to serve politics. Since Li Ang's political goal has been achieved, it is reasonable to stop the fighting.

As for whether the weak Na'vi natives are convinced or hate human soldiers, who cares?

Even when the Na'vi chief Etukon died, no one dared to say anything.

Want revenge? That would only result in more deaths among their people.

For a living person to die for a dead person is an extremely stupid act from the perspective of any interstellar civilization.

Humans only left a small number of soldiers to mine in specific areas. This was the best outcome for the Na'vi people.

Naturally, they have to worship these humans like masters.

Otherwise, what awaits them is the bombardment of the Infinity warship!

What's more, with the current strength of LA Company, it can fully drain all the potential and resources of this planet.

Soon, as the Skyhawk shuttle quickly took off, V gradually moved away from the ground of Pandora.

In a blink of an eye, V and his crew caught up with the Infinity starship. It was not until the shuttle flew back into the starship's cabin that this last Infinity giant ship rose to Pandora's low-Earth orbit.

When this giant ship is incorporated into the starship array, it means that all human ground forces have been assembled and they are about to return to the ideal city!
At this moment, in the main command room of the Infinity flagship, V, escorted by Lucy, Song Zhaomei, Otto, Morgan and others, came to the center console again.

"Xiao Song, have V and the others returned?"

Li Ang asked.

"They have arrived. Our array can initiate space jump and return to Ideal City at any time!"

Song Zhaomei responded truthfully.

Ever since Leon expressed his intention to abandon Pandora, he only left a very small number of mining troops and returned to the solar system.

There were some different voices among the senior management of LA company, especially the senior executives of the Arasaka department, who expressed strong opposition.

Fortunately, Lucy, Morgan and others from the LA company all stood firmly on Leon's side.

However, facing the objections of executives from other company departments, their opposition was of no avail.

After all, Li Ang is the real controller of the giant enterprise.

The subordinates only have the right to propose, but the final decision lies in Li Ang's hands.

In fact, in many cases, the outstanding strategic thinking of those at the helm of giant companies is always questioned by some short-sighted people.

At this critical moment, Li Ang must learn to ignore these opposing voices and not doubt or give up the overall situation he has set because of other people's doubts and confusion.

Those in power must not only be good at planning, but also need to be decisive!
"Very good, then let's start the return voyage."

Li Ang nodded and gave the order.

Just last month, he had received a message from the Transcendental AI Europa.

Today, the ideal city project has been completed, all city functions can be fully activated, and the large-scale production process has officially begun.

If Li Ang returns to the solar system now, he can live comfortably in his new home.

"Yes!"

As Leon's order was officially issued, the starship array consisting of two hundred Infinity warships all started their Macedonian engines simultaneously.

When the jump channel opened its huge mouth again, the two hundred starships disappeared in the Pandora galaxy in an instant, just like when they came, without leaving any trace.

……

……

Three months later.

Universal city, ideal city!

“Beep…!”

A shrill and noisy alarm clock woke up David Martinez who was sleeping in his bedroom.

After waking up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the curtains to the left and right, allowing the warm and comfortable sunlight to fall on his body.

This sleep might be his last long sleep as an ordinary human warrior.

Because in the coming period, David will go to the company's giant medical center to undergo the sixth phase of Astartes warrior transformation surgery and ganglion organ implantation!
The so-called ganglion surgery involves transplanting a tiny organ into a soldier's brain, which will affect the soldier's sleep rhythm.

In this way, when soldiers feel sleepy, different areas of the brain can take turns resting.

This will enable the Astartes warriors to always remain energetic and they will no longer need to rely on long periods of sleep to replenish their energy.

After undergoing this organ transformation, David will become a fighting machine that never stops!

"Uh! I'm about to say goodbye to sleeping completely. Come to think of it, I'm not quite used to it." David was a little confused for a moment when he looked at the clothes thrown everywhere on the wooden floor and the products with the "LA" logo printed everywhere.

He knew that his most important itinerary today was to go to the company's medical center for surgery.

But it was still early, so there was no need for David to rush over.

"call--!"

David heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked at the hovercraft flying back and forth outside the window, quickly shuttling through the air along the suspended track. He couldn't help but feel happy about his upcoming promotion.

Among the soldiers of the Astartes Legion, not all of them are able and qualified to undergo organ transplant surgery.

Ordinary-level Astartes warriors can only undergo 1-3 surgeries to transform themselves, which means they are stronger and bigger than ordinary human soldiers.

But in essence, he is still a weakling.

Because they do not have functional organs that can bring about qualitative changes, and these key transformations are the important factors that truly widen the gap between Astartes warriors.

If they want to become stronger and get more enhanced surgical transformations, they must establish more merits and achievements for the LA company.

This time, David Martinez, who was about to be promoted to the leader of the Astartes advance team, got the opportunity to undergo "ganglionic" surgery.

Once this critical transformation operation is completed, David Martinez will have more opportunities to complete the company's mission from now on.

And then achieve step-by-step advancement in your personal career!

"Love you mom, I will work hard."

David picked up a photo frame on the bedside table. After seeing the intimate photo of himself and his mother Gloria, he smiled sincerely.

As a member of the most outstanding team in a giant company, I'm sure my mother would be proud of who I am now.

After a while.

David straightened his face, left the bedroom, and walked into the living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open balcony.

He first opened the window to let fresh air flow into the house and allow the bright and gorgeous neon city to appear before his eyes.

The view outside the window is enough to tell that this is a single apartment on the upper floors of a skyscraper.

Immediately, David turned on the holographic TV and tuned to a news program called "Global Daily".

"Good morning, Ideal City. I am your old friend Stanley. Now let's take a look at the recent news on the list!"

At this moment, the holographic TV was playing the scenes in the live news room, and Stanley, dressed in a suit and tie, finished his opening remarks.

The director also began to switch the content.

Then the screen went dark, but soon a new picture appeared. It was a giant building located in the low-Earth orbit of Ideal City - the Science Hub!
"The great giant company will protect the glory of the scientific research world, and the iron wings of the Infinity Fleet will also protect every law-abiding citizen."

"With the special approval of the highest corporate executive, the Interstellar Marshal, the defense circle around the ideal city has begun to be built."

"Subsequent legions will depart from the capital, Night City, and station themselves at scientific hubs in low-Earth orbit to ensure that the production and scientific research plans of the giant companies are not affected!"

"..."

When he said this, Stanley paused deliberately, and the director took advantage of the break to switch to the scene of Ott Cunningham, the network director of LA Company, being interviewed.

And in the background of this interview, there is also a striking "LA" logo.

At this time, David, who had calculated the time well, had changed into a standard dark suit uniform with distinctive "LA" metal buttons on the collar and cuffs.

When he put on his holographic watch, a detailed identity information emerged.

[Name: David Martinez
Sex: Male
Age: 23
Position: Member of the advance team of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Chapter. 】

Ding dong——!
Just then, the doorbell rang at David's door.

When he opened the door, he saw a group of fully-armed Astartes warriors, who responded to him indifferently:

"David Martinez, I am under the instruction of the Chapter to take you to the company's medical center for surgical transformation. Now please follow us."

After saying this, the leading Astartes warrior turned around and walked towards the elevator door without caring whether David had caught up or not.

David, who had almost finished his work, didn't care about anything else and immediately followed the soldiers quickly.

After a while, David and the group of Astartes warriors got out of the elevator and walked straight into a Skyhawk shuttle parked outside the building.

"Ha! The Chapter is really interesting. They actually sent someone to pick me up for the surgery. This is really impressive."

David tried to make the cold and awkward cabin atmosphere more lively.

But the response that greeted him was collective silence.

Looking at his colleagues with gloomy faces and indifferent reactions to him, David finally understood what it meant to "exchange a single extroversion for a lifetime of introversion."

Seeing that this group of people ignored him, David had to turn his slightly awkward gaze to the urban area outside and admire the buildings below alone.

I have to say that the ideal city after its completion is simply the favorite city of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
The streets and blocks are neatly planned like a chessboard, clearly marking out the functions and roles of each area.

Among the skyscrapers, the LA headquarters buildings of the world's largest companies in the city center are the most eye-catching super landmark buildings.

From a distance, the LA corporate headquarters looks a bit like a cyberpunk version of a hive city.

But unlike the dirty, chaotic and filthy Hive, the LA company headquarters looks like a magnificent, clean and tidy metal pyramid.

On the other side, on the busy maglev track, all kinds of trendy and cool luxury floating cars are speeding past.

The pedestrians walking on the ground, dressed in neat and tidy corporate attire, hurried to their respective posts.

After all, this is Night City, the capital of Utopia. Ordinary people who can work here will not be in a leisurely and lazy state.

Although they are not so busy that they take drugs and cause internal bleeding, they still go to work every day taking adrenaline and caffeine.

But busyness and order are the true rhythm of Night City.

On the other hand, on the city’s main roads, the carefully calculated transportation network demonstrates its efficient and convenient functionality.

Various sky trains and hovercrafts flew by in an orderly manner, freely shuttling between high-rise buildings, and no collision accidents occurred.

The entrances and exits of the subway stations are evenly distributed on the main roads.

The sidewalks, intersections, and traffic signs on the ground all integrate a large amount of AI intelligence and holographic technology to arrange vehicles and pedestrians in an orderly manner.

"This is the ideal city!"

David Martinez sighed sincerely in his heart.

Om-!
As the roar of the Skyhawk shuttle's engine gradually died down, David was taken by the soldiers into the giant medical center in Little Chinatown.

There, professional medical bionics personnel were available to assist him throughout the entire surgical transformation process.

"Welcome, David Martinez."

The person who spoke was an N9 model bionic man, who was the accompanying nurse responsible for receiving David.

"Once the organ surgery is completed, your identity information in the Iron Hands Chapter will also be modified and updated."

"You can then check your new status and the salary and benefits after the upgrade."

The nurse's warm welcome made David feel at home.

"Thank you." David nodded and smiled politely to the nurse.

[The physical condition of the operator has been tested and there is no abnormality. The operation can be modified. 】

As the nurse finishes the scan, David will sit in a private waiting room, waiting for the transformation surgery in half an hour.

Just as David was patiently waiting for the operation to begin, the Astartes warrior who accompanied him took out a special device.

When the device was turned on, the transcendental AI Europa appeared in front of him through the holographic screen.

Before David could show any surprise, AI Europa began its explanation:

[David Martinez, please read the following confidentiality agreement carefully. If you have any questions, please consult me ​​or contact your boss, Mr. Jack Wells.]

[Now I want to remind you that the surgical reconstruction projects you will undergo today include ganglia, pre-placed stomach, gene detection nerves, and the third lung! ]

[After signing the following agreement, you will officially join the "Iron Hands" Legion's ace vanguard and become a part of it. ]

【Participate in the battle plan of the heavens and other worlds! 】

"Confidentiality agreement, pre-placed stomach, reconnaissance nerves, third lung, ace vanguard... alien world combat plan, what the hell is going on!"

After hearing these confusing news, David's eyes revealed confusion and bewilderment, and he felt his mind was a little messy.

"Uh! Wait, this isn't right...!"

David clearly remembered that he came here to undergo a "ganglion" surgery, so how come so many organ transplants suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

To perform the ninth organ surgery for transformation, one would have to be a deputy captain of the advance team!
How could it be the turn of me, the team leader? This is totally unreasonable.

Could it be that... some officer with the same name and surname as him accidentally arranged the surgical transformation schedule in the opposite direction?

"Did you guys make the wrong choice of surgery subject? I'm here to transplant a ganglion today."

David didn't want to take advantage of this for no reason. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

If I replace someone else's transformation quota, I might end up in the legion's court!

Seeing that David seemed to know nothing about his situation, the transcendental AI Europa patiently explained to him the origin of everything.

Soon, David realized that he had really got a place in this multiple organ reconstruction surgery.

And this position was fought for him by his boss Jack Wells!
Of course, David didn’t receive this surgical transformation honor for nothing.

Next, he will become a member of the Astartes Ace Vanguard and join the most dangerous combat forces in the heavens and alien worlds.

"The All-Heaven and All-Divine Combat Team...!"

David suddenly felt his blood was about to boil. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him.

Although he didn't know what mission the battle in the various worlds referred to, he instantly went from the sixth surgical transformation to the ninth transformation.

This is definitely the best opportunity for David to improve his life, and he must seize it firmly!

"I'm willing to join the Ace Vanguard!"

David couldn't wait to speak.

After seeing that David was ready, AI Europa continued to tell him:

[David, once you sign this confidentiality agreement, you will be closely monitored by the company for the rest of your life.]

[You must also strictly follow the terms and conditions of the regulations. You will be fully responsible for any consequences of leaking information! ]

There is always a price to pay for good things, but David, who has long been prepared for progress, just wants to sign the agreement immediately and start the reconstruction surgery.

"I understand, I am willing to sign the agreement!"

David still responded eagerly.

[No, you must read the contents of the regulations carefully before signing your name. This is the company's rule.]

Europa knew that David was very anxious, but he should not be impatient for the time being. He should read the words on the agreement carefully first, and it would not be too late to sign it later.

LA never forces anyone to work hard for the company. It only reserves the most unobstructed path for advancement for everyone who desires advancement to work hard.

If you work hard, you will be rewarded.

Everyone can get everything they want under the law of "equivalent exchange".

This is LA Company, this is the first value of a global giant.
