The First-Generation Skynet

According to our report, Ms. Rose, a mysterious female tycoon, has once again invested heavily to complete the merger of two super-corporations, following her acquisition of Electronic Grid six months ago.

"Ms. Rose has the background of a renowned assassin organization and an assassination alliance. Furthermore, according to our exclusive leads, this powerful woman's ability to acquire controlling stakes in two mega-corporations suggests she has the backing of a powerful, privileged elite."

"... Therefore, we have reason to suspect that there is someone else behind her, and that Ms. Rose is merely a mistress brought to the forefront by a mysterious tycoon."

According to Mr. Bilton, an expert on bionic ethics, all managers of bionic companies must be bionic themselves, a requirement stipulated in the Bionic Act. However, he is currently unclear about Ms. Rose's bionic type, and even less about the impact her appointment will have on bionic society, since each manager's background will determine the status of that type of bionic.

The Advanced Bionic Alliance of the Mother City, the driving force behind the "Bionic Act," expresses its respect and blessings, while also offering a friendly reminder to Ms. Rose to respect the objective laws governing the development of the bionic race and protect the rights that bionics have fought so hard for.

The other four android companies issued a joint statement declaring that android society would not allow the birth of a super dictator. Therefore, the four top executives jointly decided to increase their shareholdings and engage in cross-shareholding to prevent the recurrence of "black swan" events. In other words, Ms. Rose's mega-merger has come to an end.

According to rumors, Ms. Rose is currently single, and her android form is female. Therefore, android gigolos, romance-oriented AIs, and cyborg idols from the free world are all scrambling to win over this super-rich woman.

The senior engineer was watching the news with great interest while sucking on his baby bottle, but when he saw this news, he was immediately furious.

"What do you mean by 'single lady'? If you have a younger man, can you still call yourself single? You're clearly a dog owner!"

Then he glanced at his own open-crotch pants and couldn't help but say sourly:

"Those bastards from the village bully me because I'm small and weak, yet they dare to steal from a rich woman right in front of me! How despicable! Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll crush them!"

Before she could finish speaking, her cheek tightened again. Turning her head, she saw Valkyrie looking at her curiously, pinching her cheek with one hand.

"What are you doing?"

What are you doing here?

Valkyrie wasn't incapable of speaking, she just rarely did. In front of the senior engineer, because of their blood relation, she could still say a few words.

"Just sneak around and gossip. Oh, and don't tell Director Du about this; she has a bad temper."

"Yes," Valkyrie nodded in deep agreement.

Although both are wealthy women, it is clear that the financial wealthy woman makes money faster, while the industrial wealthy woman makes money by hand, possessing long-term potential, but her short-term prestige is somewhat low.

"By the way, what did you want to see me about?"

"The person you're looking for has arrived," Valkyrie said, enunciating each word clearly.

The senior engineer's spirits lifted; he had finally arrived!

Although Aramaki had doubts, the senior engineer assured him that he would definitely be able to recover his strength within three days and catch up with Cybertron, so Aramaki was still half-believing.

The reason why the senior engineer dared to make such a boast was not because he was so amazing, but because there are amazing people in the world.

At this moment, two figures appeared on the outskirts of the industrial zone.

On this planet, as long as you want to advance in technology, or as a company, as long as you demonstrate some potential, you will receive extremely generous benefits.

The level of their generosity was even more exaggerated than the support from a certain developing country.

This is why, despite the severe destruction of civilization on this planet and the near-emptiness of many homes, the population recovered so quickly, and so many trusts and disruptors emerged.

For example, in this seventh district, the continent beneath Dugo Technologies's feet has an energy mineral content ten times higher than that of the Iron Sand Desert, and he simply gave it to them.

At the same time, a large amount of supporting equipment was also given away for free, including various factories, excavation equipment, and exploration robots. Almost overnight, this place was transformed into a behemoth comparable to a "factory".

Dugo Group Headquarters!

"I don't like the atmosphere here."

Two people, one tall and one short, appeared on the outskirts of the Dugo Group. The tall woman frowned and said the following.

It's no wonder she said that; the smoke, dust, carbon dioxide concentration, and even radiation levels here are all ridiculously high.

As she spoke, green, tree-like patterns began to spread across her skin, and for some reason, these patterns had a unique oily quality characteristic of seaweed.

This "skin oil" directly blocks all pollution.

"Really? I personally quite like it; it has a kind of mechanical vitality," the short man said.

"You like machinery?" The tall woman raised her eyebrows.

"Mechanical life is life too. Don't forget, half of my offspring are mechanical bio-beasts. They are very excellent, but they reproduce a bit slowly."

The short man lifted his hood, revealing the face of a young woman with crystal-clear eyes that rippled through the air with just a glance.

This is a symbol of spiritual materialization, and in her eyes is reflected an entire world, a world composed of all sorts of radiated beasts.

Although she has the face of a petite woman, there is no doubt that this is the brain in a vat, the brain flower of the Iron Sand Desert.

If her activities used to be confined to the desert, now she has eyes and ears wherever there are radioactive beasts on this planet.

"Little Woman Number Two" took a deep breath, and the radiation contained in the air was quickly inhaled into her nasal cavity. Her skin became visibly transparent, and at the same time, she emitted an astonishing spiritual power.

In an instant, alarms blared everywhere.

The next moment, mechanical figures broke through the air and arrived. At the same time, outside the factory, one after another "mechanical boxes" opened, revealing super mechs that were three, four, or five stories high. Under the control of the pilots, they made heavy mechanical sounds as their footsteps echoed, and the energy cannons mounted on their bodies lit up as they rushed towards the two of them.

The mechanical and biological hunters roaming the perimeter also surrounded the two of them.

"It's so bright!"

"Little Woman No. 2" sighed, for no other reason than that the sky ahead seemed to darken suddenly, replaced by "twinkling stars," each "little star" being an energy weapon with a positioning system.

Director Du is a genius, and a brilliant mechanical engineer who can rise to the top in the brutal factory system without needing anyone's financial support.

Whether it's mechs or civilized weapons, they are all nourishment for her. After absorbing enough experience in super weapon design, Director Du has long surpassed her predecessors. Although she has not yet developed a civilized-level weapon, she has developed a large-scale defensive weapon - the first generation of Skynet.

For some reason, the name gave the senior engineer a strong sense of déjà vu.

This "Skynet system" can cover every corner of the Seventh District. Keep in mind that this is not a missile system, but a pure energy strike, which is impossible to intercept.

This also means that, if the other party wants, they can launch a small-scale energy war at any time, similar to the scene in "Star Wars", with a sky full of light rain and a destructive power soaring by hundreds of thousands.

This is the benefit of managing a faction.

Even if the senior engineer doesn't intervene, all the players coming to besiege the Dugo Group won't be able to withstand this first wave of attacks.

After all, we're all civilized people; who wants to challenge you to a one-on-one fight?

In future global corporate wars, most of the time it will be a clash of super weapons, with no option for human wave tactics. Individuals will play a negligible role in such large-scale battles—unless you are a bug like Bio-A.

Therefore, even two monsters couldn't help but be worried in the face of such an attack, especially the tall woman. With her powerful senses, she clearly felt that the opponent possessed more than just this one super weapon.

If the opponent really makes a move, it might even destroy its own body.

That's right, this tall woman is Kermos, the King of Deep Sea Leeches, similar to the Brain in a Vat—another type of large symbiote.

With the help of the other party, the senior engineer transformed the biological organism into a biological computer.

She herself is also a kind of large-scale biological computer.

It was thanks to these two that the senior engineer was confident enough to say that he could recover his strength in a short period of time.

Just as Kermos was getting nervous, a crack suddenly appeared in the space, and a familiar voice rang out from it.

"Hahaha, two beauties, you've finally arrived."
