Chapter 74 The Conglomerate's Move, The Fleet Arrives
Chapter 74 The Conglomerate's Move, The Fleet Arrives
The president was completely bewildered. How come he wasn't the highest authority in Elysium? Right, those people were just working on something in the database.
"Fuck, who are you? Elysium is ours."
"Looks like he still hasn't grasped reality. Guards, take him away."
"Yes, Captain."
At this moment, within the system of Bliss Space, Fang Heng is the holder of the highest authority, while Wang Yunfeng has been granted temporary authority to deal with these ungrateful people.
Soon, the shouting president was taken away by the machine guards, and the scene returned to silence.
"Damon, you did a great job. Although you've done a lot, you've also done something worthwhile this time. Your merits and demerits cancel each other out, so you can now become a citizen of Elysium. However, you'll need to start accumulating contribution points from scratch."
"Contribution points? What are those?"
"You'll find out later. For now, let's heal Max."
Soon, led by several robotic guards, Max was taken to the nearest medical pod.
After the exoskeleton was violently removed, Max's body returned to normal as the medical pod's light swept over him.
Wang Yunfeng, watching this scene from the side, was also very amazed.
"I must say, this technology is a truly great invention. Although it cannot affect the brain, it is still a technological breakthrough, which is quite impressive."
As a natural person, Wang Yunfeng also received systematic knowledge training and naturally understood the value of this device.
Seeing that Max had fully recovered, Wang Yunfeng did not let him leave. Max still had the Elysium restart program in his mind. This program, which was specially designed based on hardware, had to be removed as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.
With the technicians' intervention, the reboot program in Max's head was quickly cleared, and Max was now safe.
This approach serves both to protect Fang Heng's spoils and to protect Max.
Just after Max was treated, Frey arrived with her daughter. Seeing Max completely unharmed, Frey excitedly hugged him.
"Max, I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion, but Elysium has just been taken over, and as a precaution, you and Frey cannot leave yet and need to be supervised."
"Okay, no problem."
Max now understood that Captain Wang was afraid he would cause trouble, but back then he was only thinking about his own life, and later it was for the sake of all mankind.
Now that he has been rescued and his life is no longer in danger, he is naturally not worried that this newly emerging force will be detrimental to him.
If I really had any ideas, I wouldn't have tried to save myself.
After the guards took the group away, Wang Yunfeng began to inspect the entire Bliss Space.
After the program restarted, all the machine guards in Elysium received new instructions to take up arms and impose a full curfew.
"Attention all citizens of Elysium: Return home immediately and await the end of martial law."
Repeat: Return home immediately and await the end of martial law.
The warnings, repeated three times in a row, echoed throughout the entire blissful space. All the wealthy people who were still enjoying themselves were now completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
It wasn't until they saw the legion of robot guards on the street that these people realized the seriousness of the situation.
The three major conglomerates behind the scenes immediately activated their system privileges to find out what was going on.
But the next moment, the message "System access restricted" appeared, making these people's hearts sink.
In a virtual conference room, the leaders of the three major conglomerates were online and discussing the situation at Elysium.
"Gentlemen, all our access to Bliss has been lost. Clearly, there have been new changes in Bliss. According to information from our inside sources, an unfamiliar force has restarted Bliss. In other words, we need to activate our own power."
"Old Morgan, we all know how serious this is. The problem now is how to get out of here. Our family's core area is currently at the lunar base. Although they are very powerful, they are too far away to help us in this situation. By the time these rescue teams arrive, things here will have already been over."
"Therefore, we need to combine the strength of all our conglomerates and send all of us core members out."
In the virtual conference room at this moment, besides Rockefeller, Morgan, and Citibank, there are several other conglomerates. These are all the true power holders of Elysium, each holding different proportions of control according to the original agreement.
Under normal circumstances, they do not use these powers, but instead send out proxies to form the current Elysium regime to manage Elysium.
However, they never expected this to happen; the program was completely rewritten, and all their privileges were lost.
However, these people are all shrewd old foxes; they never put all their eggs in one basket. The main strength of the family actually lies in their base on the moon.
These family heads, because of their advanced age, wanted to enjoy life here, but ended up getting trapped here.
Fortunately, their own security force was also quite strong. With more than ten companies combined, they could at least escort them out of this place, if not reclaim the Blissful Space.
After everyone finished, a considerable force quickly gathered here.
This is a huge estate, the property of the Rockefeller family, the leading financial group.
Currently, the core members of the top ten conglomerates have all gathered here, along with dozens of spaceships and thousands of guardian robots.
Even in the realm of bliss, this is a considerable force.
But these guys were afraid of dying, so their first order was to have these spaceships take them away from here.
However, there is a problem now: these ships are all private ships without any weapons, making them easy targets for weapons within Elysium.
When the lower-ranking financial groups raised this concern, the leaders of the Rockefeller and Morgan financial groups laughed.
"Don't worry, this is just a smokescreen. The real spaceship is here."
They led the group to a fortress, where they saw a starship appear.
"It's actually an interstellar warship! I didn't expect there to be such a thing. This is good."
Upon seeing the warship, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With this warship, and the support of the family's fleet, they can now safely escape Elysium.
"Gentlemen, although we now have this warship, our fleet has not yet arrived, so we still need to wait. To ensure that the news does not leak out, please rest here for now."
No one present had any objections to Morgan's words. Everyone understood the current situation, and it was always better to be cautious.
On the other hand, after seeing that several important members of the conglomerate had all disappeared, Wang Yunfeng immediately realized that these people had a backup plan.
"Notify headquarters and ask where the fleet is. We don't have enough fighting power with just these few people."
"Yes, Captain."
The Neptune base quickly responded.
"Captain, headquarters has replied that the fleet has departed from Mars and will arrive outside Elysium in 5 minutes."
"Very good. Notify the other team members to prepare for battle. Also, have the forces in East Asia prepare to prevent any spacecraft from Earth from entering space."
"Yes, Captain."
Fang Heng entrusted the entire operation to Wang Yunfeng, so he had a lot of resources at his disposal. Basically, apart from the Punishment Ship and the five escort ships, all other forces could be mobilized.
Wang Yunfeng was also a talent discovered by Fang Heng here. Military tests showed that his potential reached S-level, and he had the potential to command large interstellar fleets in combat.
This mission was also a test for him. Fang Heng had already figured out the contingents' backup plans, which were simply relying on the fleets in the lunar base.
However, the warships of these fleets are not high-performance. Although they have energy weapons, kinetic weapons, and electromagnetic shields, they are not large in size.
The reason for this is that the existence of Elysium makes these people believe that they have completely controlled the Earth. The vast distance between the two regions means that these conglomerates do not need to worry about the lives of the lower classes being threatened by uprisings; they only need to maintain their military advantage.
Under this mindset, the most powerful of these warships were only equivalent to destroyers, and their numbers were not large; the combined forces of more than ten conglomerates numbered only about 50 warships.
Among these warships, only five are comparable to destroyers. These are all from the top five conglomerates, and each of them built one of these warships as their command flagship.
Elysium has now been captured, and a fleet exists there, including 15 warships comparable to comet-class corvettes, and only 3 warships comparable to small planet-class destroyers.
Therefore, Fang Heng has the advantage in terms of military force.
Five minutes passed quickly. With a spatial fluctuation, dozens of warships suddenly appeared in the previously empty sky above Elysium, causing the citizens of Elysium who were at home watching the situation outside to gasp in surprise.
"Oh my God, these warships suddenly appeared, I've never seen anything like them before, could they be aliens?"
"I don't know, but these warships look really powerful. We need to think about what to do next."
There was much discussion in the residential area, while the atmosphere was also tense at the conglomerate's stronghold.
These warships that had jumped in were immediately spotted by the personnel remaining outside and reported back to the fortress.
So everyone was in a bad mood after seeing these warships.
"What do we do? These warships look bigger than our flagship. Do we still have a chance to escape?"
"Don't panic, let's see what the Rockefellers and Morgans have to say first."
