Chapter 161: Death Agent (2)
While the research and development of the new Mewtwo was on the agenda, Chen She was also worried about the next stage of development of Lishan Technology.
The more intense space-time activities brought by Epsilon, on the one hand, made the goals of many large conglomerates using spokesmen to destroy Lishan Technology come to nothing, and on the other hand, it also had a profound impact worldwide.
The environment of the entire Old Land has deteriorated further, which has directly led to the trade routes between major conglomerates becoming more congested, and the transportation costs of various raw materials and products have risen sharply.
Many previously stable shipping routes have become unstable, causing intermittent disruptions in the supply chains of major conglomerates.
What followed was a widespread shortage of goods, which further exacerbated the shortage and broken capital chain.
Many small conglomerates are already struggling and may face capital chain breaks at any time, being on the verge of being swallowed up and destroyed.
Naturally, the big financial groups will not lend them a helping hand.
At this time, the major conglomerates will only do two things: the first is to shrink their sphere of influence after the corporate war is over, so as to survive this cold winter and avoid being destroyed by the conspiracy of other major conglomerates.
After all, if any one of these large conglomerates collapses, it will have the effect of bringing life to all things. There are countless other conglomerates eyeing them, so these large conglomerates have to be cautious in protecting themselves.
The other thing is to confirm the demise of those small consortiums, and then eat them up completely so that they can survive better.
In the process of such an economic crisis that swept across the entire old land and was triggered by natural disasters caused by time and space activities, most of the financial groups chose to tighten their belts and overcome the difficulties in a silent manner.
As for the ordinary people in the old land, under such an economic environment, they can only accept their fate and try their best to survive.
But Lishan Technology is completely different from other large conglomerates in this process.
Because the structure of Lishan Technology is completely different from other consortiums.
In this era, all the consortiums in the old land have already formed an inseparable complex system. From raw materials to semi-finished products, to the final products, and the production lines of various products...
All the big and small conglomerates in the old land have already divided up all industries from downstream to upstream.
This high degree of division of labor on the old land originally relied on a relatively stable space-time environment. However, once the space-time environment suddenly deteriorated and the routes became unusual, the advantages of close contact and cost reduction among the consortiums instantly became the biggest disadvantage.
Those big conglomerates actually have their own strong industries, but are relatively weak in other industries.
This is even more true for small conglomerates, which may not even be able to survive immediately if they are separated from the entire old land business environment.
However, Lishan Technology has been developing multiple industries simultaneously since its inception, and has formed a highly self-sufficient system internally.
From manufacturing to military equipment and entertainment industries such as Mewtwo, to infrastructure, transportation, and the collection of space-time particles and various minerals, Lishan Technology can be completely self-sufficient and does not need to rely on others at all.
Therefore, when this turbulent space-time storm swept across the entire old land, Lishan Technology could continue to develop itself tenaciously in the wilderness, showing a situation of "the scenery is better here".
Such vigorous development has once again given rise to the idea among the rebels that "we seem to be strong enough to do something."
This was obviously something difficult for Chen She to accept.
The resistance forces in the Western Continent have just been beaten up by the new and old consortiums. Didn’t you see it?
But this reason could hardly suppress the rebels in Lishan Technology. After all, they all had a strong sense of pride and believed that they were not the same kind of people as the confused rebels in the Western Continent.
The various advanced weapons developed by Chen She and the rapid expansion of the military strength of the entire Lishan Technology Enterprise made them eager to find a target to fight.
After considering for a long time, Chen She finally decided to choose the lesser of two evils.
The northern continent is full of giants, and you can't afford to offend them. And even if you can afford to offend them, it's too easy to be exposed and targeted.
It's too dangerous to do anything in a monster room like this.
So, Chen She chose the Western Continent as his target.
The Western Continent at this time was in a state of extreme chaos and disorder.
After the new and old conglomerates suddenly joined forces to defeat the rebels, the entire Western Continent actually returned to being ruled by large conglomerates such as the Black Umbrella Group.
In this process, the struggle between the old and new consortiums came to an end, and both gained sufficient benefits by swallowing up nearby small consortiums, wanderers and rebels.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they entered a phase of shrinking their power due to the chaos in their space-time activities.
The resistance army was devastated by this blow and hid in the mountains, splitting into several factions.
As for those wanderers, they are just trying to survive in this environment.
At this time, a unique power vacuum appeared in the Western Continent, but no one thought that anyone could intervene in this power vacuum.
Unless he is a space-time creature himself and can ignore such violent space-time activities.
But after Chen She decided to choose the Western Continent as the battlefield for training troops, how to send these people there became a difficult problem.
In the end, he chose to use the power of Epsilon to build a portal, the "coordinate", between the Western Continent and the Northern Continent.
This is Epsilon's special ability. With his rich knowledge of the world of time and space, he can regard the world of time and space as a special secret passage, transferring people or materials across extremely long physical distances in the real world.
Of course, the transmission process is somewhat dangerous. For example, in the coordinate channel, there is a high probability of being attacked by space-time creatures. Moreover, the transmission also consumes a large number of space-time particles.
But for the protagonist, consuming space-time particles is a good thing, and the risk of being attacked by space-time creatures is completely within controllable range.
It's much safer than letting these rebel soldiers overthrow the Icefield Defense Group.
In this way, with Chen She's insistence, everyone finally agreed to the plan to open up the Western Continent.
As a large amount of space-time particles were consumed, the coordinates connecting the northern continent and the western continent were finally established.
At one end of the coordinates, in a special training location at the Lishan Technology Field Base in the northern continent, Chen She had a huge underground facility built to ensure that all kinds of supplies could flow unimpeded.
Although due to the lack of space-time particles, only a small amount of weapons and personnel could be transported over in the early stage of the coordinates, Chen She deliberately built a large-scale project, and everything was constructed on the largest scale.
Although the original intention was to consume as much excess resources as possible so that the rebels would have less trouble, it was of course announced internally that this was to accomplish the task in one go so as to avoid expansion later, and to prepare in advance for the direct transportation of large troops to the Western Continent.
Everyone sighed again, saying that Mr. Chen was indeed a man of foresight and foresight.
Soon, the first batch of personnel and supplies were transported to the Western Continent through the coordinates.
On the West Road side, the node of the coordinates was directly built in an abandoned rebel camp deep in the mountains. Although it looked remote, it was actually quite close to the wanderer tribes supported by Lishan Technology and the sphere of influence of the Lishan Technology branch.
The first batch of dozens of elite soldiers from the Lishan Technology Enterprise Army were sent to the Western Continent.
Along with them were the new weapons and equipment carefully developed by Chen She.
These weapons and equipment are very special. They do not bear too many high-tech marks. On the surface, they are similar to the equipment of ordinary wild wanderers. No matter how you look at them, they look like defective products that have been neglected for a long time.
But in fact, these weapons and equipment were carefully developed by Chen She, and their power is almost on the same level as the latest weapons of Lishan Technology.
They are just deliberately made inconspicuous by using space-time particles to make them look old.
Naturally, there were some different opinions within Lishan Technology regarding the plan to enter the Western Continent.
Chen She's final decision was to send only a small number of absolutely elite troops each time.
If you want to come to the Western Continent, you must reach the best in the training and competitions within Lishan Technology, and achieve excellent results in actual combat training with space-time creatures.
Otherwise, it will not be approved.
Of course, once he gets the chance to come to the Western Continent, Chen She will not be stingy with various weapons and equipment. Basically, he will fully equip them and there will definitely be more than enough.
This was mainly because Chen She wanted to slow down the speed at which these people were causing trouble in the Western Continent. What if too many people went there at once, causing the big consortium to become alert?
If we send fewer people each time, even if they make some noise, they won't be exposed too quickly.
But to other people in Lishan Technology, this is obviously not the way they understand it.
They quickly understood Mr. Chen's deeper meaning: Mr. Chen was obviously hinting at them not to rely too much on the military force of Lishan Technology, but to learn how to properly use the power that already existed in the Western Continent.
If the Lishan Technology's corporate army was thrown directly over, a strong armed force could be quickly established, but such an armed force would obviously be out of place in the Western Continent. It would not be able to integrate the local wanderers and rebels, and it would be easy to be discovered by the big financial groups in the Western Continent, which would not be worth the loss.
In that case, the strategic goal of advancing into the Western Continent would be completely unattainable.
Mr. Chen's move was obviously to hope that these people would spread out across the entire Western Continent and connect different forces. They were like sparks, scattered across the Western Continent, each looking for a pile of firewood to ignite.
Then, when these flames gather together, they can burn into a huge force.
Otherwise, why would Mr. Chen spend a lot of money to make such deliberately old-fashioned equipment for them?
On the one hand, this equipment is designed to keep them low-key, and on the other hand, it is designed to enable them to maintain optimal combat effectiveness.
It can be seen that Mr. Chen has good intentions.
Under this guiding ideology, the first batch of rebels thrown into the Western Continent quickly became active.
Some people began to enter the mountains and forests to look for the rebels who had been broken up into many groups, trying to blend in with them and gradually gain leadership from within.
Some people take on the job of Lishan Technology's arms salesmen, selling weapons to nearby wanderer tribes, balancing the different wanderer tribes and supporting the most promising ones.
Others simply try to go undercover in the wanderer tribes or affiliated forces of large conglomerates, hoping to find the perfect opportunity to incorporate all these forces.
The first batch of fire was spread out like this.
Soon, the rebels achieved unexpected results.
Previously, the Mewtwo from "The Congressman Also Has a Son" and its derivative Black Mewtwo had been sent to the Western Continent, and soon spread as a hot topic.
The ones who discussed the most were obviously the severely frustrated resistance fighters.
They had just suffered a very tragic defeat.
Originally in a desperate situation, they suddenly gained a good living space by cooperating with the old consortium. But then, with the reconciliation between the old and new consortiums, the resistance army was roughly thrown to the ground like a used rag, and was stepped on by both the old and new consortiums, and was trampled into pieces.
In this process, most of the resistance fighters became confused and helpless. Even though they were elite soldiers who had survived hundreds of battles and had strong fighting will, after such a baptism, there were probably not many who could still hold on.
During the era when Gao Jingwu led the resistance army, although these people lived in difficult conditions, they still had firm beliefs and were united internally. But now, due to different ideas, they have fallen apart, and no one can unite them.
Different factions of the resistance began to debate, and they all expressed their opinions on the ideas shown in the game "The Congressman Also Has His Son", but the final result was that they could only go their separate ways.
After the elite soldiers of Lishan Technology infiltrated the group, they quickly found a breakthrough using this Mewtwo.
For these resistance fighters who had lost their fighting spirit and goals, they re-established their goals.
However, at this time, these elite soldiers of Lishan Technology did not reveal their identities to them immediately, but only instilled such a route into them. As for who would execute the route, it was not stated.
Because some of these resistance fighters may not be completely trustworthy, it will take some time to observe them before they can be formally absorbed into Lishan Technology.
…
On the other hand, the tribes of wanderers fell into large-scale disorder and chaos, which turned into the naked law of the jungle.
After the environment in the Western Continent became harsh, the big conglomerates each shrunk their spheres of influence, but their desire for wild space-time particles did not disappear.
They don't care which of these wanderer tribes will win, they only care whether the winner can bring them enough space-time particles.
Therefore, these wanderer tribes began to carry out brutal annexations, sneak attacks, assassinations, or use the traps of space-time creatures to eliminate the enemies... they used every possible means.
In such a chaotic environment, Lishan Technology found several more trustworthy tribes and began to consciously support them.
Use these trustworthy tribes to eliminate those untrustworthy tribes. The reward for this support is the crystals of time and space collected in the future.
However, Lishan Technology is obviously not satisfied with just a simple cooperative relationship with these wanderer tribes.
If people get together for profit, sooner or later they will become enemies because of profit.
At this time, the new Mewtwo "Death Proxy" played an important role.
This Mewtwo was released immediately after its successful development. At the same time, a large number of Mewtwo were transported to the Western Continent and flowed into the camps of these wanderers.
In the eyes of these wanderers, "Agent of Death" is a complete portrayal of the current situation in the Western Continent.
Originally, these wanderers lived in a daze. They might have wondered why they could only make a living like sewer rats, risking the danger of time rain in the wilderness to collect time and space crystals and work as dogs for those big conglomerates, but most of them did not come up with any results.
More and more wanderers have become accustomed to this long-standing situation and have never thought deeply about why the Western Continent has become like this.
Is it naturally like this, or was it deliberately modified into this state?
"Death Agent" exposes all of this nakedly and shows it to these wanderers, making them realize that wandering in the wilderness is not a symbol of freedom, but simply a group of indirectly controlled pets that the big corporations need to do some dirty work for them.
As long as the big corporations exist, the tragic fate of the wanderers will never stop.
In this way, in the entire Western Continent, the power areas that were vacant after the big conglomerates gradually reduced their sphere of influence were gradually filled by an invisible force from the Northern Continent.
The rebels, wanderers, and the space-time sects that have been secretly developing here are gradually connected by the large network of Lishan Technology, brewing an unprecedented huge storm.
It will forever change the state of the Western Continent, and once the Western Continent is gathered together from its original state of disunity, it will burst out with such powerful force that the entire old land will be amazed.
