Chapter 170
When several disabled veterans who lost limbs due to war came forward to speak out during the product launch, and even performed a wonderful basketball game with bionic prosthetics on the spot, the company, which had just been established not long ago, unexpectedly became popular.
You must know that the war with the Martians has just ended. There are countless more soldiers and civilians with disabled limbs in the world. They have lost their limbs and cannot work. They can only rely on the meager disability allowance every day. Today, most people even need the care of others to live a normal life.
Although they lost limbs due to the war, the country and society should indeed provide them with adequate compensation, but objectively speaking, these people who have lost their ability to work and fight have indeed become a burden to the entire Earth Federation.
In fact, these disabled veterans themselves know this very well.
Many of them cannot accept this fact after becoming physically disabled. Most of them are addicted to alcohol and drugs, and some even some extreme ones directly commit suicide in order to find relief.
Even those who did not surrender themselves, in this turbulent era, they could only drag their incomplete bodies to live a hard and humble life.
However, the bionic prosthetic limbs provided by the Anaheim company suddenly gave them hope of returning to normal life! In particular, the prosthetic products launched by the Anaheim company are not expensive. Basically, ordinary working-class people can buy them by gritting their teeth and saving up two or three months of salary. Especially since this company has also launched a special product for the disabled. Discount service for military personnel. Any military personnel who are disabled due to war injuries and want to purchase bionic prostheses can get a half-price discount! ')117'\u003eChapter 116 Anaheim Company (Part 2)
This is actually because Fang Yuan has personally seen hundreds of disabled soldiers who have lost limbs crying and crying because of the mutilation of their bodies. He has also personally experienced the life of losing limbs, so he understands the pain of those veterans with mutilated limbs. , even out of pity, he felt that he should do something for them.
This move alone turned Anaheim Company into a world-famous conscientious enterprise, well-known in all countries within the Earth Federation. Even Martians noticed this company - even super ancient aliens. Technology is not omnipotent. The Visser Empire's research on bionic limbs is really not as good as the products launched by Anaheim Company.
But the bionic prosthetic arm alone isn't all there is to Anaheim. It's just the first product for the fledgling company to make a name for itself.
Just when the business of bionic prosthetics was booming around the world, Anaheim directly launched their commercial nuclear fusion reactor plan and made wild claims that it would be able to generate electricity within a year.
At that time, all walks of life believed that Anaheim was inflated after making a little money. It was just a private enterprise engaged in controllable nuclear fusion? It’s better to wash up and go to sleep first, there is everything in the dream... Especially the controllable nuclear fusion project team established by the coalition government, their reaction was particularly fierce. Several experts and scholars with high reputation in the academic world stood up and spoke frankly. Frankly speaking, it is absolutely impossible for Anaheim to succeed. Controlled nuclear fusion is not just a private enterprise at all, and private enterprises without any relevant technology accumulation can afford it by investing a little money! And because of the declarations of these expert media, the entire society believes that Anaheim is bragging, and even the good reputation it has just accumulated through the bionic prosthetic business has been somewhat affected. Many people think that it is a scam company. Instead of trusting the bionic prosthetics it launched, some people even took the lead in the media to question the safety of these bionic prostheses.
However, in less than a year, reality slapped everyone hard.
They actually did it! When Anaheim's first-generation controllable nuclear fusion reactor was officially ignited and output enough power to meet the electricity needs of the entire state of Virginia through the generator set, the whole world was boiling! This matter was really accomplished by a private enterprise! And it took less than a year! This TM is cheating! Well, yes, it was indeed cheating.
After all, the boss behind this company is the biggest culprit.
The knowledge Fang Yuan brought from the Gate of Truth was not fake. He himself was the ultimate alchemist who could roll nuclear fireballs with his hands. Designing a truly operational nuclear fusion reactor was not a problem for him. A particularly difficult challenge.
In fact, the reason why Fang Yuan took another year to complete the fusion reactor was that his main focus was on reducing the difficulty of reactor construction.
After all, for him, building a reactor is a direct alchemical process, and many of the materials used are laboratory products that cannot be prepared on a large scale with current earth technology. In order to reduce the actual construction difficulty to the earth's current technological level, Fang Yuan To an acceptable extent, it took more work than he did to design the original version of the fusion reactor.
When the first-generation nuclear fusion reactor was successfully ignited and connected to the grid, Anaheim Company completely rectified its name and became a leader in the joint energy industry of the earth. It embarked on the fast track of development and soon went from A mere Anaheim electronics company developed into the Anaheim Group, and gradually extended its business reach to medical, military, aerospace and other fields, becoming the prototype of a business empire.
However, these operations have basically nothing to do with Fang Yuan himself. Although he controls the entire Anaheim, except for providing various new technologies in research and development, the management is basically handed over to [Ether] and those professional managers.
For example, the Brook in the previous chapter is the head of Anaheim Energy Heavy Industry, and is fully responsible for the promotion of fusion energy projects.
In fact, this Brook did a good job. Fang Yuan just designed a second-generation fusion reactor with greater power and smaller volume than the first generation. In less than half a year, Brook built the finished product and successfully ignited it-not to mention the actual research and development capabilities of this company, at least it shows that their execution and construction capabilities are indeed very good.
And not only in the nuclear fusion project, Anaheim also has excellent performance in other fields involved.
For example, in the field of aerospace, Anaheim launched the electromagnetic repulsion suspension engine and plasma propulsion engine-yes, it is the power system that Fang Yuan used when he landed on the moon-these two power devices won the bid at the United Army's space battleship bidding meeting, and successfully obtained the majority of the power system orders for the space fleet being formed.
For example, in the military industry, Anaheim has successively launched mature electromagnetic weapons, laser weapons, single-soldier exoskeleton armor and other advanced equipment, and has also received a large number of orders from the military.
In the medical field, the bionic artificial organ series launched by Anaheim is another major innovation after bionic limbs, including artificial eyeballs, artificial cochleas, artificial hearts, artificial lungs, artificial livers... In short, except for the brain, spinal cord and gonads, there is no organ in the human body that Anaheim cannot imitate.
There are even rumors that the military is trying to use Anaheim's artificial organs and artificial limbs to secretly develop full-body prostheses, um, the kind in Ghost in the Shell.
Fang Yuan, who has been intercepting intelligence from the Earth United Government for a long time through [Ether], said that the rumor is true. The United Army is indeed conducting research in this area. Fang Yuan is not disgusted by this, and even secretly helped when their research was deadlocked.
——Because he found that although the military was conducting human experiments, they used volunteers and dying people who knew the real situation, and did not force healthy ordinary people to undergo transformation.
The Earth United Government in this world seems to have a high moral integrity, at least much higher than the counterparts in the Resident Evil world.
As for the world where the top leaders of various governments collectively adopted the Showa style, the difference is even greater! However, although the moral integrity of the Earth politicians in this world has increased, the moral integrity of the Martians seems to be shaking and falling straight down.
PS: The third update will be posted a little later')118'\u003eChapter 117 Martian Assassination
"[Ether], how many assassinations have been launched against our company employees?" "This is the third one."
The AI said the answer that Fang Yuan actually knew a long time ago.
"Three... That means three more families have died because of Martians..." In front of him, what should have been a well-decorated small villa had now become a ruin burned by a fire.
In front of Fang Yuan were five charred bodies, two adults and three children, that had just been found in the fire.
Although they had been burned beyond recognition, Fang Yuan could still see the obvious marks of gunshot on their bodies - especially on their heads. Each of them was shot in the head, causing the skulls of the five people to be incomplete, and their deaths were particularly miserable.
Fang Yuan's expression showed no joy or anger, but his eyes reflected his violent anger from the bottom of his heart.
"Martians, Martian spies... You really messed with the wrong people!" Fang Yuan stood there quietly with his eyes closed for a few minutes, then suddenly opened his eyes, turned around, got into his own car, and left the scene of the tragedy without saying a word.
Since you want war, I will give you war! ... "[Ether], is there any result from the investigation of the communication records?" After returning to his residence, Fang Yuan immediately asked [Ether] about the results of the investigation.
"No information transmission related to the attack was found. It can be inferred that the other party used code words or did not use the information network to transmit information."
[Ether]'s intelligence is getting higher and higher, and now it has even learned to reason on its own.
"Then, what about the analysis of the bullets and shells left at the scene?" "We have compared it with the government's gun database, and no guns with rifling and firing pin characteristics have been found."
"In other words, it is either a privately manufactured gun or a modified gun..." The clue is broken again.
"Then what about the surveillance near the crime scene?" "The surveillance system all failed the day before the crime."
"Did any suspicious persons appear before the failure?" "In the three days before the crime, the four nearby cameras captured a total of 193 people, of which 176 suspects have been ruled out and 17 suspects have not been ruled out."
"List all the 17 people for me to see!" The next moment, 17 photos taken from four angles appeared in Fang Yuan's field of vision.
"Enlarge the faces--" The slightly blurry figures in the field of vision were instantly enlarged, and the pixels were automatically optimized to reveal the clearest faces one by one.
"Investigate the identities of these people!" "Investigated, confirmed the identities of 14 of them, all ordinary American citizens, and the identities of three people cannot be ascertained."
[Ether] gave a result that surprised Fang Yuan a little bit, and the three photos were instantly moved to the center of the field of vision.
"Three cannot be ascertained? Are they outsiders... Lock their current location for me, I will go there in person!" "Understood, they are now in..." Fang Yuan stood up, and black matter gradually multiplied and emerged from his body, and finally merged into a set of pitch-black armor-he really got serious.
... "Found you!" The blood-red alchemy light flashed, and Fang Yuan put down the body in his hand that had lost its voice.
"I didn't expect it to be so lucky. This guy actually knows who his superior is, Colt Arias..." The figure in the pitch-black armor flashed with light and shadow on the surface, and disappeared in the air in the next moment, as if he had never appeared, leaving only a corpse with eyes open lying on the ground and gradually becoming cold.
This is the third person Fang Yuan has found.
I don't know whether to say it's lucky or unlucky. The two suspects before were actually just illegal immigrants who sneaked in from Central America, so Fang Yuan couldn't find their identities.
After searching his memory, Fang Yuan didn't do anything to the two poor guys. He just threw them aside and didn't do anything to keep them quiet. They were just two illegal immigrants who were almost the same as homeless people. Even if they told others about what happened today, no one would believe it.
Only the third person was indeed a spy sent by the Martians to the earth, and he was also one of the members who carried out the assassination operation. He even shot and killed several children of the victims. Therefore, Fang Yuan also harvested his life and soul without hesitation. It's okay to assassinate adults, but he didn't even let children go! In fact, the reason why Fang Yuan was so angry and even went to investigate personally was because of this.
Originally, although this practice of assassinating each other's important figures during the war was a bit despicable, it could not be said to be excessive. After all, war is unscrupulous. Even Fang Yuan himself, didn't he play an assassination that shocked the world before? But this time was different. They actually attacked a child who knew nothing! Yes, there were three consecutive assassinations of Anaheim employees, all of which were this kind of brutal practice of killing entire families. Ten underage children alone died! This has far exceeded the bottom line that Fang Yuan can tolerate! … "Dad, dad! Have you finished reading all the books you bought before!" "Oh Have you finished reading so many books? Our little angel is really a genius!" This is an ordinary residential house in San Francisco, where an ordinary family of three lives, a father who works outside, a mother who does housework at home, and a cute daughter who is just 4 years old.
Neighbors and passers-by passing by the courtyard can clearly see and hear that the cute little girl is proudly showing off her achievements to her father, and the father is not stingy with words of praise, praising his child all the time.
Seeing this scene, everyone smiled knowingly. This is really a warm and happy family... However... Bang! A figure hit the wall of the room heavily, smashing a big hole in the wooden wall, and the young father fell in the wood chips and groaned in pain.
"What a happy family, I am moved when I see it..." The figure who committed such atrocities walked closer to the fallen man step by step: "But you destroyed three happy families like you with your own hands!" The warrior in black armor grabbed the man's hair, regardless of his struggle and resistance, and lifted him up to the height of his legs off the ground. He grabbed the man's face with his other hand and turned his head to the side, allowing him to see the mother and daughter lying on the ground behind the black-armored man, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
"Tell me, how should I treat you?"')119'\u003eChapter 118 Minimum Mercy
"No, don't... don't hurt them..." The man begged, trying to let the black-armored man in front of him let his family go.
"I did it all by myself, they didn't know... they had nothing to do with it..." He understood that this was the exposure of the assassination he had arranged before, but his love for his family made him struggle to let his wife and daughter escape.
"Heh, so you are still a family-loving person?" The black-armored warrior sneered, grabbed the man's arm and swung it hard, and threw him down, "bang" a big hole in the floor of the house, and also broke the man's spine and shoulder blade, making him scream even more miserably.
However, the scream was just half-screamed, and the next moment it was blocked by a big foot stepping down hard.
"Don't worry, I'm not one of you Martian bastards—" The black-armored man closed the one-way reflective layer in his mask, allowing the man under his feet to see his face, which was Fang Yuan's face. He said, "I won't attack a child who knows nothing, but I won't protect her either.
Think about it, what will happen to a child of a Martian spy who loses his father and lives on earth? " Fang Yuan's tone was not sinister, but a chill came over the heart of the man in the audience. He no longer cared about the severe pain in his back and the worry about his lower body that was gradually losing consciousness. He just wanted to think about it for a moment. , you can guess what your lovely daughter will encounter in the following days after her identity is exposed - ostracism, isolation, bullying, or even something more terrifying... No, this is not right! That's it! He is willing to come to Earth to become a spy in order to gain a higher status in the Martian Empire and allow his family and children to live a better life, but not to make his family suffer more. So much suffering! "Uh-huh--" The man seemed to have forgotten his pain and struggled hard, but in this world that follows the laws of physics, ordinary people's will cannot override reality. The injuries of broken and comminuted fractures of his shoulder blade also made his struggle seem feeble. It had no effect at all, and he couldn't even move the opponent's foot away from his face.
"Humph, now you know you're afraid?" Fang Yuan looked at the man's desperate struggle and lost the intention to continue playing and torturing him. He directly stretched out his hand, covered his forehead, and began to collect intelligence - on the earth There is definitely more than just this group of Mars spies. Through this relatively high-status guy, you should be able to get more information about Mars spies.
A few minutes later, when the blood-red lightning went out and another life disappeared from the world, the soul reserve in Fang Yuan's hand increased by another unit, and at the same time, the memory of a man's life was added to the [Ether] database.
Fang Yuan threw down the body that had lost its breathing and heartbeat, turned around and looked at the mother and daughter lying on the ground in the living room. He used an anesthetic needle to put them down as soon as he initiated the action, so they remained Remaining unconscious, he neither saw Fang Yuan nor knew what happened in the next few minutes.
"[Ether], inform the coalition government to send someone here and tell them that there is a dead Martian spy and his family here."
As he said to the dead man before, Fang Yuan would not do anything to his innocent wife, children and family, but he would not protect these "innocents" either. After all, this woman was married to someone else. Given to a terrorist who planned many brutal assassinations, their daughter has also been receiving a pro-Martian education. It is best to leave this kind of person to the people of the United Earth Government to deal with.
Whether he put them under house arrest or brainwashed the children into killers against Martians, it didn't matter to Fang Yuan - anyway, not killing them on the spot was his greatest mercy.
Half an hour later, when Fang Yuan, who had remained invisible, saw that the two unconscious women and children were taken away by government intelligence agents, he turned around and left, no longer caring about the matter here.
As for how they will be treated next, it depends on their own fate! "Jack, you should come and see the body of the deceased!" "What's wrong, Tom, is there anything wrong with the body?" The detective known as Jack heard the sound and came over, a little confused.
"I dare say that the person who killed this poor guy must be a super strong man!" Tom, who had just checked the condition of the body, pointed to the large hole on the marble floor and the broken wooden walls beside it: "Ordinary people can If it can't be done to this extent, I wonder if someone has used illegally modified enhanced prosthetics or directly wore power armor to do it!" Speaking of power armor, Tom had a look of sincere envy on his face. Individual equipment that can turn an ordinary person into a superman in an instant is currently only installed in the elite troops of the United Earth Army. Agents like them who do not have to go to the battlefield cannot use it. As a senior weapons controller, Tom , I can only drool over some photos and brochures on weekdays.
However, after listening to Tom's words, Jack did not take them as a joke: "...Maybe this is really what happened..." "Are you serious?" Tom turned around and saw Jack's expression was very serious. There was no smile at all, and it was immediately clear that he really wasn't joking.
"You forgot, whether it's prosthetic technology or power armor, they all come from the same place -" Jack's words obviously meant something.
"Anaheim..." Tom murmured the name, and then he remembered that the reporting party this time seemed to be Anaheim? "It is said that this time the Martians carried out several assassinations on Anaheim's affiliated researchers. This is probably their revenge..." Jack lowered his voice and expressed his guess.
"...Forget it, us little characters shouldn't delve too deeply into the matter of such a big shot, and be careful to endanger yourself!" Tom nodded and agreed with Jack's guess, but immediately changed his tone to persuade his partner not to Investigate this aspect in depth.
After all, Anaheim has grown from a small local enterprise to what it is today in two years. How could it be a good deal? Although this company, which supplies prosthetic products at low prices, enjoys a good reputation among disabled soldiers and the lower-class people, those who really have a discerning eye can see clearly that this company can rise rapidly in the competition and suppression of countless opponents. How could it be possible without some hard power! "I understand! I'm not a rookie who just debuted. Let those people at the top worry about this kind of thing!" Jack obviously knows his own weight and has no real intention to become a messenger of justice.
')120'\u003eChapter 119 The Great Purge
"But the most pitiful one is still that little girl..." After tacitly not talking about Anaheim, Tom, who couldn't stop talking, changed the subject and mentioned the family members of the deceased who had just been sent away.
"Yeah, a 4-year-old child doesn't know anything yet, but he's involved in a war and conspiracy between two planets..." Jack also sighed. He didn't know if the child's mother knew that her husband was a Martian spy, but the child must know nothing... "If it's really the revenge of that... company, they still spared the life of this guy's family. It seems that they have a bottom line!" Although Tom said that he would no longer talk about the big shots, he still couldn't help but comment on this, but he didn't say the name directly.
"That's right..." Jack nodded and said in agreement: "I heard that the Martians didn't even spare children in their assassinations. They killed whole families several times in a row. In comparison, the moral standards of us earthlings are indeed higher!" "Yes, these scumbag Martians, who have super technology but have forgotten their roots, and they also like to attack innocent children... They are all a bunch of garbage, bastards..." The two people's topic unknowingly turned to cursing the moral integrity of Martians, and other agents who had been busy around them also interrupted this topic from time to time, and soon it became an all-round denunciation and condemnation of Martians.
... The agents over there cursed the Martians while cleaning up the crime scene, while Fang Yuan here flew all over North America overnight and found all his colleagues in the memory of the spy named Ariashu. After searching the memory one by one, he refined the Philosopher's Stone.
But this is far from the end.
From the memories of these spies, we can know that the spies sent by Martians to Earth are not only those in North America. They have sent dozens to hundreds of spies to major industrial countries around the world. Some have been discovered and arrested by local governments, while others are still lurking among ordinary people waiting for opportunities to create trouble.
Fang Yuan has only cleaned up the spy network in North America. If he wants to remove all the Martian spies on Earth, he will need to be busy for a while.
However, in this process, Fang Yuan also discovered a problem.
In fact, these so-called "Mars spies" are not all Martians.
On the contrary, most of them are actually Earthlings who admire Mars, that is, the so-called traitors and Earth traitors.
The reasons why these people choose to betray Earth are very complicated.
Some of them want to join the Martians to take revenge on society because they have been treated unfairly on Earth. There are even some who want to earn a title in the Martian society by virtue of their merits.
Some of them saw that the Martians suppressed the large number of Earth United Army with very few troops in the war, realized the huge power gap between the two sides, and desperately believed that the Earth side had no chance of winning, so they turned against the Martians.
Others simply had poor brains and were brainwashed by the propaganda of the Martians and the instigation of other spies, and foolishly became the running dogs of the Martians.
However, Fang Yuan, who had searched the memories of those real Martians, knew that these Martian spies who were born on Earth were actually just cannon fodder. Even their Martian colleagues did not really regard them as companions, and did not intend to truly fulfill the promises made when recruiting these people. They were ready to throw them out as bait or kill them directly. The fantasies of these traitors would only be fantasies after all.
But Fang Yuan would not sympathize with them.
These people betrayed their race, betrayed their country, betrayed their planet, and more importantly, they actually took the initiative to provoke Fang Yuan! There was only one end for them - that was death! Now, all the spies in North America, whether they are real Martians or spiritual Martians who admire the Martian Empire, have died in Fang Yuan's hands. By cross-checking everyone's memories, it is confirmed that there are no fish that have escaped.
But in other countries and regions, there are at least thousands of Martian spies active. Although Fang Yuan alone can kill them all, it is too inefficient and too embarrassing to do so - he is now the real owner of the emerging business empire of Anaheim, so there is no reason for him to be busy and take care of everything! Before, he personally took action to kill people throughout North America. On the one hand, he was really angry and needed to see blood to calm down. On the other hand, these spies were indeed hiding very secretly, and Fang Yuan himself had to take action to catch them.
But now he has obtained enough intelligence, so he doesn't need to do it himself.
"[Ether], in the name of Anaheim Security Department, send the list of all spies found to the United Government!" "Understood... Information sent."
The next thing should be left to the government to solve directly. After all, it should be their job to eliminate spies.
... So, in the next half month, short battles broke out all over the world, which were not noticeable but were actually closely watched by all the top leaders of the United Government.
More and more Martian spies were killed or captured by the special operations forces of the United Government and the military. In a short period of time, the number accumulated to thousands. Even with the interrogation of the captured spies, more spies who were hidden deeper were exposed, further increasing this number.
When the entire spy-catching operation came to an end, the United Government found that the number of people, including those killed and captured, exceeded 10,000! Among them, about 8,000 spies were all Earthlings who were lured to defect. Among these 8,000 people, hundreds of them held public positions in various governments and the coalition government, and one of them even sat in the seat of a member of a member country! This discovery immediately shocked the entire coalition government's top leaders. They had never thought that their side had been infiltrated by the Martians so exaggeratedly that even the top leaders within the government had defected.
As expected, a large-scale purge descended on the entire coalition government. At least thousands of officials suspected of collaborating with the enemy or having huge amounts of unknown property income were suspended for investigation. A few diehards also tried to contact other Martian spies in a panic, further involving a spy network that was hidden deeper and more secretive.
It can be said that because of the assassination of some individual Martian spies against employees of a certain company, the entire Earth's Martian spy network has suffered an unprecedented blow! ')121'\u003eChapter 120 The Power Struggle of the Martian Empire
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Those lowly earthlings actually dared to kill Martians? Aren't they afraid of starting a war again?!" This was the roar of a Martian knight after learning about the earthlings' anti-espionage operation.
The big move of the Earth United Government certainly could not escape the eyes and ears of the Martians - although their spy network was destroyed, with the generational advantage in information technology, all communications on Earth basically could not escape the monitoring of the Martians.
Therefore, many Martian nobles who were still stationed near the Earth-Moon Circle after the armistice were immediately furious when they heard about the actions of the earthlings - even if those Martian spies were third-class citizens in the Weisser Empire, it did not mean that the earthlings could kill them casually. If they wanted to kill them, they had to be killed by these noble lords! It was probably this kind of logic. Most of the Martian nobles were furious at the actions of the earthlings, and some radicals even shouted slogans to restart the war.
However, the old emperor far away on Mars did not seem to want to see the emergence of a large-scale war, and suppressed these voices forcefully.
His concerns are actually very easy to understand.
Although the Martian Knights used their high-tech armored cavalry to suppress the entire Earth Alliance Army in the previous war, in fact, the war potential of the entire Earth had not yet been fully stimulated, the industrial transformation in all aspects had not yet been completed, and the new equipment and weapons had not yet been equipped to the troops.
