Above space.
Black Star.
The space dock had long since been completed at this time.
Besides that, the entire Black Star base city had already taken a certain shape.
A massive tower was built right in the center.
That was the official headquarters building of Ascension Technology.
The original functional structure of Ascension Technology Corporation had been moved here.
And from the dock next to the port, spacecraft were constantly being built and sent out, exploring various planets and establishing warp gates.
Base after base rose up on different planets, using the planets' resources to build new Marvin Robot factories.
Then these robots would frantically collect the planets' resources, expand the planetary bases, and develop one arsenal after another.
It can be said that Ascension Technology had taken a crucial step and entered the stage of rapid troop production.
In the core arsenal within Black Star, Luoqi was experimenting with new technology.
Luoqi, who had just finished communicating with Arasaka Yorinobu, put his attention back on the task at hand.
"Arasaka Yorinobu's side is settled? I didn't expect this son of Arasaka Saburo could actually stick to his ideals."
Lao Wei was beside Luoqi, talking while installing a small device onto a robot.
"He is a person with thoughts and a soul. To be honest, I admire him quite a bit," Luoqi replied.
"So, does this mean you're ready to start the real plan?" Lao Wei smiled.
"Of course, the current Ascension Technology already has enough strength," Luoqi nodded.
"Yeah, I never thought I'd see such a scene in my lifetime: a magnificent space station, a vast number of planetary bases and arsenals, and countless cosmic resources.
While others are still fighting tooth and nail on Earth for resources and markets. If it were at the beginning, I absolutely wouldn't have believed Ascension Technology could achieve this. But now, Ascension Technology indeed has enough strength."
Lao Wei sighed, but the movements of his hands didn't stop.
He was seen installing a round device emitting blue light onto the robot.
As the installation was completed and energy flowed, the robot also received energy support and successfully started up.
If Lao Wei had Luoqi's energy absorption ability, he would be able to sense the immense energy contained within this small device.
It was continuously transmitting this energy outwards, providing the robot with an endless supply of power.
[Arc Reactor]
[A miniature controllable nuclear fusion reactor from the Marvel Universe, capable of providing a large amount of energy.]
This was the latest energy device prepared by Luoqi, utilizing radioactive minerals from irradiated planets, combined with the Arc Reactor technology.
Luoqi planned to equip all of Ascension Technology's robots with this powerful energy engine, greatly increasing the robots' endurance.
Of course, equipping these robots with new energy was just adding icing to the cake; the original endurance of these robots was not weak either.
What Luoqi needed most was the effect of the Arc Reactor on other powerful weaponry.
Currently, Ascension Technology had the resource support of Ye Corporation and Arasaka, so there was no shortage of funds needed to exchange for modules.
And Ascension Technology robots and the Arc Reactor were just the tip of the iceberg of Ascension Technology's technology.
After testing that the robot equipped with the Arc Reactor was functioning normally, Luoqi and Lao Wei went to another part of the factory.
A massive mechanical device was parked here.
Its height of nearly ten meters, humanoid mech design, and the obvious heavy weapons on it all unreservedly indicated its identity as a war machine.
This was a Titan from the Titanfall world.
This massive mechanical monster, which could be piloted and controlled by humans, was originally used to assist in mining resources on planets and for production labor.
But its great potential on the battlefield was gradually discovered, and it was eventually developed into a powerful weapon for the battlefield.
Among these Titans, there were even Vanguard-class Titans specifically researched and built for war.
The Titan in front of Luoqi at this moment was built according to the specifications and blueprints of a Vanguard-class Titan.
The daily use of a Titan requires an experienced pilot, known as a "Pilot".
And in order to deploy them on the battlefield on a large scale, Luoqi equipped each Titan with an independent intelligent AI, allowing them to fight independently without a Pilot.
And this powerful battlefield weapon was not entirely without weaknesses.
Their weakness lay in the need for a large supply of batteries for endurance, and in order to quickly replace batteries, the Titan's battery interface was directly exposed.
This led to the comical situation on the battlefield where one's own Titan would have its battery pulled out by an enemy Pilot.
But now, with Ascension Technology's Arc Reactor technology, this situation can be completely avoided.
Changing the Titan's power system to be supplied by the Arc Reactor and hidden inside the Titan, combined with reinforcements from vibranium and adamantium alloy.
Titans with eliminated endurance and battery interface weaknesses will become true killing machines on the battlefield, unstoppable by any soldier.
Lao Wei came to the side of this Titan.
This Titan had been optimized and no longer had the original battery slot.
Lao Wei was seen taking out an exoskeleton mechanical arm kit and installing it on himself.
He then controlled the third mechanical arm on his shoulder to assist him in disassembling the Titan's components.
Lao Wei had stayed in Ascension Technology's laboratory for a long time, coming into contact with a large amount of advanced technology. Coupled with his own extremely high talent, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the most powerful mechanical engineer in the world today.
With the help of the mechanical arms, Lao Wei quickly completed the installation of all the Arc Reactors.
In the energy supply components on the Titan's sides, four Arc Reactors were arranged on both the left and right sides, continuously supplying energy to this Titan, ensuring it could freely unleash its performance on the battlefield.
Activating the Titan, the sound of mechanical movement rang out, and the visual components on the Titan's head lit up with a blue glow.
"BT-7274, online."
...
Night City.
Government Council.
"What? Ascension Technology is to take over the border garrison rights of Night City? Even the NCPD is to be replaced by police services contracted by Ascension Technology?
What exactly are these people doing? Have they all gone mad?"
A council member looked at the proposal in front of him with a surprised expression.
Looking through the entire proposal, he only saw the term Ascension Technology. The entire document was filled with policies favorable to Ascension Technology.
It was almost explicitly stating that Ascension Technology would control Night City.
Originally, Night City, in order to introduce Arasaka independently, had already created a corporation that controlled a large amount of power in Night City.
Now Ascension Technology is also stepping in. Once the proposal is passed, Night City will almost become a colony of Ascension Technology.
