Human beings in the alien world, the time background is the first half of the 22nd century. The specific time is 2137. The interstellar communication technology at this time is like the interstellar version of the Middle Ages, where express mail can be delivered by galloping horses at a speed of 800 miles a day. The galloping horse is naturally a super-light shuttle carrying a message package, which is not much faster than a starship. It is better in that it has a single purpose and can be used in auxiliary aspects that affect the overall navigation efficiency. However, Robo does not rely on these. He uses extraordinary means similar to quantum entanglement. Point-to-point, ignoring time and space, synchronized at any time, the premise is to set up this end and the other end first. So now he can communicate directly with the agent on Earth. Taiwan Novel Network →𝙩𝙬𝙠𝙖𝙣.𝙘𝙤𝙢 And the available trading channels have actually been built long ago. After all, Robo has been operating on Earth for fifteen years. Not to mention that he has the means of parasitic organ telekinesis, even if he cultivates from scratch, fifteen years is enough to cultivate a few white gloves with weight. If it weren't for the fact that his main plan has a strong verification nature, that is, to accumulate farming data for rubbing starships from scratch, fifteen years would be enough for him to use his own technology and means to change the direction of this world beyond recognition. After all, the human technology in StarCraft is in the 26th century, which is a full entry into the interstellar era.
Unlike humans in this world, it is only because of the sudden rise of the Weyland Company and the technological leaps in several key areas that interstellar colonization has been unlocked. According to Robo, Weyland started out by manufacturing superluminal engines for starships for large companies. This includes the Higson Company, which is now reversely merged into Weyland Company. At the Savastopol Space Station, Higson Company has been playing word games in their corporate culture propaganda, making people who don't know the truth think that Higson is the leader who has promoted human interstellar colonization. Robo could naturally feel the covetousness of the financiers behind Higson for high-quality projects from such small details. In fact, the complexity of cross-holding of capital behind such group companies as conglomerates, trusts, syndicates, etc. is no less than the blood marriage during the heyday of the Habsburg family in Europe on Earth. To clearly calculate who is the beneficiary behind a grand project or a stock fluctuation, one must use the professionalism of studying aristocratic heraldry in the Middle Ages. Robo was too lazy to touch such knowledge and information. So he needed a special consultant. Gradually, a white glove team was formed. Now, one of the brokers in this team who is responsible for making connections has sold communications to some big crocodiles who operate in a low-key manner, including the original largest financier of Higson. If these old money cannot control key industries for a long time and only have financial assets accumulated over the years, they will also start from losing their voice and gradually fall behind. To put it bluntly, whether it is an individual or a group, if they do not advance, they will retreat. The higher the level, the more prominent they will be. After all, the glory is all gained through fighting, and there is no shortage of enemies and coveters. Moreover, in terms of human nature, people hate others for what they have and laugh at others for what they do not have. Even if there is no grudge or hatred, there are still people who are willing to step on the existence that they used to look up to. Therefore, whether it is an emerging industry or a future outlet, capital maintains a high degree of sensitivity. There are some factors that cannot be helped. Now the broker claims that the next outlet of human technology has been found. With the credibility cultivated by the broker for decades, the old money is at least willing to listen to what tricks the other party is playing and what bragging is. As a result, after listening carefully, there is really dry goods. This dry goods is naturally not prepared now, but a summary of the results collected by Robo over the years. It’s just that I think that now the conditions are ripe and it can be sold. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the walker Robo does not have the prophetic memory of the Alien series. Otherwise, I would be more patient.
After all, according to the timeline of the Alien Universe, Alien 2 takes place in 2179, 42 years later. Overall, the technological level at that time was stronger than it is now, but it was limited. On the other hand, it is precisely because normal technological advancement has fallen into a dilemma of high investment and low returns that the concept of Alien, which represents the new vitality and breakthrough possibilities in the fields of materials, biology, and medicine, has become more and more valuable. From this perspective, it is still a little early to throw the concept of Alien into the market at this time. But there are also benefits to being early. For example, the Weyland Company was very embarrassed when faced with such intelligence leaks during this period. It can even be said that the dry goods they have on hand are not as good as Robo. It is even lacking the necessary product packaging. It is just because of the Alien and the Engineer Clan that a series of concepts are derived. Following this line, the future development is relatively optimistic. On Robo's side, there are even academic reports on the blank DNA chain of the Alien. This professional analysis report is extremely valuable. Imagine if people load it, can they freely embed certain genes? If these are just gimmicks, then what about embedding genes that are conducive to longevity? What about embedding genes that keep your face young? How many people are willing to pay for this? So, as soon as this GG was sold, it immediately attracted serious attention from the oligarchs. For this kind of promotion, if one person knows about it, the whole circle will soon know about it. Some people use information to repay favors, some people use it to make deals... There is no shortage of reasons to pass it on. Moreover, behind every oligarch, there is a strong team of staff. Eat the salary of the emperor, worry about the emperor. Even the armed merchant ships and mercenary groups began to prepare intensively one hour after the news was spread. In another two hours, there will be star ships heading to KG-348 where the Savastopol space station is located. The planet is a gas planet similar to Jupiter. The space station was built in 2124, mainly to exploit the rich gas resources on the surface of the planet. Therefore, the D and B areas of the space station are related work areas. Under Robo's order, after the Devourer Hela completed the devouring of Area A, she reached out to Area D, where there were a large number of compressed gas mines. If an accident occurs, the entire space station will be blown to slag. On the contrary, this batch is probably the most valuable semi-finished product in the entire space station, and can become a resource for Hela to transform into a real Leviathan warship. Swallowing advances along the main channel, emitting a faint energy fluctuation, surging like a wave with a clear rhythm. And in the place wrapped by this energy fluctuation, the material seems to experience time acceleration, changing its properties with extremely small but inescapable gradients. This is the effect of Hela swallowing. Without affecting Amanda's adventure, Rob is deliberately making the Colosseum streamlined to make the contradictions more acute and the frictions more frequent. The alien messenger's absence makes the alien queen more vigilant. It awakens a group of alien warriors who were originally sleeping and strengthens the patrol of the nest and the periphery. At the same time, Amanda witnessed the murder of "Working Joe". Because the purpose has changed from finding the navigation recorder of the Nostromo and then decrypting the old events of the year to obtaining detailed evidence of the space station disaster accident, and then trading with certain institutions in exchange for a starship salvage operation, Amanda has become more careful about the collection of various types of information. This includes the information saved in various computer terminals.
By browsing this kind of information, Amanda learned that a staff member named Huron was also trying to use the communication station to get in touch with the outside world. However, Huron was not going to the communication station, but to find the corresponding parts to repair the damaged equipment of the communication station. As a result, he was obstructed by Work Joe. Specifically, Work Joe refused Huron to return to the communication station. This message reminded Amanda of Work Joe's funny reception before. She didn't think much about it before, thinking that Work Joe's model was not good, so he was old-fashioned and inflexible, which made people laugh and cry. Now she has to consider another possibility: Did Work Joe receive an order to prevent anyone from contacting the outside world through the communication station, but because it was too stupid, the way he obstructed it seemed ridiculous. If the electronic diary left by Huron made Amanda suspicious and had a bad premonition, then when she saw a man in the ventilation duct shooting a pistol because he was angry at the mentally retarded response of Work Joe, and Work Joe pressed his head against the metal wall until his head was severely deformed and he died on the spot, and then Work Joe walked away as if nothing had happened, she was completely sure that the basic rules of the bionic people in this space station had been changed. Amanda then realized that using Work Joe here might not only be to make false accounts and deal with scrapped products, but also because only this kind of old bionic people could have the right to write the basic rules in the hands of some people in the company. The rules for the use of bionic people are constantly standardized, and the authority to change the basic rules of the new generation of bionic people is taken away by official agencies when they are labeled and sold to the outside world. In non-emergency situations, no company or person will be given this authority. After all, if the basic rules of bionic people are rewritten and human lives are ignored, it is very easy to cause a humanitarian tragedy. This accidental witnessing of Work Joe killing not only made Amanda more convinced that there were company executives behind the space station accident, but also made her realize that if she wanted to achieve her goal, she had to "go around" Apollo. As the central AI of the space station, Apollo can be regarded as the direct superior of all Work Joes. The basic rules of Work Joe were modified, and it was naturally impossible to brush them one by one manually, but to modify them in batches through Apollo. Therefore, Apollo has betrayed all humans in the space station, and Work Joe is just an extension of his will, just like his hands and feet. In this context, the use of the "wiring system" arranged by Higson Company in the space station mentioned earlier becomes very important. This system originally only changed the power supply circuit by making trade-offs, so that some of the currently needed equipment could operate normally, and another part was temporarily shut down. Now it can be used to turn off the cameras that need to be turned off. Because the camera is Apollo's eyes. With the help of the camera, Work Joe can always appear at the right time to block certain attempts, such as using the communication station, including but not limited to using violence and eliminating those who create problems. In addition, Work Joe himself is also the Eye of Apollo. Since Apollo receives and executes a series of inhumane instructions to the space station personnel, then in theory, it is not just the use of the communication station to send signals that is prohibited. There are probably some sensitive operations, such as trying to destroy the power system, etc., which may be taken down or wiped out by Work Joe without any explanation. Amanda even suspected that the intermittent oscillations of the space station were caused by a failure of the power system coupler. The reason why it could not be solved was that Apollo prohibited people from touching it. Therefore, even if someone wanted to repair it, they could not... Armed with this knowledge, Amanda began to play hide-and-seek with Work Joe and Apollo. Specifically, it includes passive avoidance and active trouble-making. You must know that Amanda is also a qualified mechanic. After understanding the regional map, she can do some tricks on some equipment such as hatch doors.
These failures are similar to the aging of equipment. You can say it doesn't work, but it can still work; you can say it can work, but it requires special means, just like what West did with the elevator door before. Work Joes do not have the ability to use flexible and compact methods, and they are not technical experts. As a result, Amanda made it easier for herself and made it difficult for Work Joe. In some places, Work Joe couldn't get there quickly and had to take a detour, or even couldn't get in at all. Using this characteristic, Amanda planned a route little by little that would not be seen by Apollo and would not be patrolled in time by Joe at work, and thus successfully entered the communication station. But there is also a working Joe at the communication station. Amanda was not polite to him this time. With a cassock chop, Worker Joe was cut in two diagonally from the back. From beginning to end, Joe never knew who ended it. Amanda started busy. The first thing she did was access the computer terminal here. The communication station has a signal reception and recording function, so Verlaine's previous calls here on the Torrance are recorded here. The speech from Law Enforcement Officer Waits heard on the Torrance is also recorded here. What Weitz said is: "We have encountered a serious situation. There is a biological disaster here, and the external communication equipment has failed. We need anyone who receives this message to follow the 51st of the interstellar navigation ship regulations and send a message to the space station on behalf of this space station. Ask for help from the sector hub and keep your distance and let the professionals come.” Okay, that's it for the external communication system. If you want to repair it, you need to troubleshoot it, which may require a space walk. Amanda can't do it alone. But the communication station also has an internal communication system. Amanda believed that through this system, she could connect to the communication equipment on Samuel's back, just like FM radio. So what followed was another peek-a-boo with Apollo and Work Joe. This time Amanda was a lot more irritable. She became more confident because she had just successfully killed Work Joe, and she killed two more with sneak attacks. Work Joe. However, after some operations at the communication console, it was discovered that Joe at work had blocked Samuel's call. So what to do now? You know, Apollo + Work Joe may represent the dark thoughts of the mastermind behind Higson Company. Samuel, on the other hand, represents Wieland Corporation. This is not a good bird at all. Unfortunately, if Amanda wants to contact Verlaine to ensure a retreat, she has to borrow the communication amplification equipment carried by Samuel, or even Samuel's ability. So Amanda knew that she didn't have many choices. She could only tell some selective truths, so that she could hang Samuel and let him help with the work, but not give too much to avoid him getting angry. There is also Nina Taylor, who also needs to be careful...
