Planet of the Apes Colony

The differing flow of time between the real world and the movie worlds had also allowed the Planet of the Apes Colony dimension to develop rapidly. Fifty years of explosive expansion had made Umbrella Corporation the true overlord of the Planet of the Apes. With Tang Tian investing and expanding regardless of cost, the emerging modern ape citizens took pride in being members of Umbrella Corporation.

On Planet of the Apes, one could see the infamous bioengineered Sun Staircase plants in the urban forest buffer zones. Huge buildings and streets were plastered with the slogan, "Control weapons, control fate," while flying vehicles filled the skies. Common conventional firearms could be found everywhere. Everything that had developed before Tang Tian's eyes was wonderful. After so many years, that feeling had finally returned. In the real world, Mystique had been taken away by Umbrella under the pretense of adoption, and her genes had been extracted. The second-generation Tyrant—the Black King Tyrant—had already entered production, along with large quantities of biological weapons. To accelerate research, Tang Tian had moved Umbrella's headquarters to the colony. The time difference would allow him to truly rise.

The current conditions were still insufficient to establish the former Iron Empire. Therefore, after the Captain America storyline ended, Tang Tian had set his sights on the time difference, intending to travel through movie dimensions while developing the colony properly. Another point was that Tang Tian had brought all the scientists and talented individuals to this world for the sake of achieving breakthrough development. After all, he had spent far too long playing a supporting role.

The central city of the Planet of the Apes Colony was centered around a core formed by super-intelligent computers reverse-engineered from five spacecraft, together with the Red Queen. Massive amounts of information and data were analyzed and calculated by the main system, Red Queen, retaining what was useful and discarding what was not. For the Iron Empire to take shape, it needed a large amount of artificial intelligence. Only by integrating artificial intelligences such as the Mechanical Emperor, Skynet, and Transcendence could it become perfect. Moreover, establishing the Iron Empire required resources and advanced technological knowledge.

"The Planet of the Apes Colony has developed very well. You've worked hard, my double." Tang Tian, who had returned from the Marvel Universe, smiled at the clone who looked exactly like him.

"You're welcome. We were one person to begin with," the other Tang Tian said casually.

The Planet of the Apes Colony now resembled the world of Back to the Future. Maglev cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles flew everywhere in the sky. The technology brought by Leo's spacecraft had allowed the colony to develop rapidly. The Tech God Cult could not rise overnight. Without the Main God's help in building an empire, Tang Tian's development had been very slow.

"But it should be time to start plundering, shouldn't it? Spending so long playing a supporting role isn't your style." Clone Tang Tian spoke meaningfully.

"Yes, it'll begin soon. Once we occupy one more colony, we can go to the worlds of I, Robot, The Matrix, and Terminator. By then, our empire will be fully established." Tang Tian spoke fervently.

"That's right. This is your personality. By the way, I should have a name too, shouldn't I?" the clone said excitedly.

"Mm. You're also my copy, so how about using the old name, Tang Xing?" Tang Tian said with a smile, holding a glass of red wine as he watched the colony's prosperous scenery.

"Good. That's the name I wanted. Since you've come here, go take a look at the colony first. It hasn't been easy for me to develop it for so long. You need to speed up your plundering progress." No longer wearing his earlier refined expression, Tang Xing casually tossed aside his suit and lay down on the bed.

"All right, I know." Tang Tian helplessly patted his forehead. He clearly knew exactly what his own clone was like.

The Planet of the Apes Colony's core base was currently a research base primarily for biological weapons, electromagnetic rail weapons, energy weapons, powered armor, and other armaments. With the large amount of spoils and research results brought back from the Marvel Universe, the core base had become the colony's integrated production base, containing conventional weapon workshops, electromagnetic aircraft workshops, humanoid mech workshops, biological weapon workshops, and a series of other production facilities. After seeing it all, Tang Tian was quite satisfied. At the very least, they now had a foothold for establishing the empire.

The Planet of the Apes Colony had been built upon the blood and tears of the apes. With the arrival of Tang Tian, the merchant of death, the apes had become complete slaves, never able to rise again. Having been enslaved by humans for fifty years, the apes had long since lost their former spirit. The same scene was playing out elsewhere.

It was a mining base, where nearly fifty thousand apes had been brought to dig ore. Surrounding them were several thousand police officers in black combat uniforms bearing the Umbrella emblem. The officers, dressed in combat suits made of composite materials, watched them with unfriendly expressions. From time to time, they deliberately and maliciously raised their combat shotguns and ammunition belts loaded with shotgun shells toward the apes. Any ape who moved too slowly was mercilessly beaten by the overseers until he had no strength left. Some apes had tried to revolt, but under the attacks of high-tech weapons, they naturally could not stir up any trouble. Over fifty years, the apes had gradually become numb as well.

The apes could only kneel before humans. Most wore nearly numb expressions and knew only obedience when faced with human commands. They showed not the slightest sign of resistance, nor did they dare to. Killing apes had become routine for some humans. Perhaps when the apes had once enslaved humans, they had never imagined that they themselves would one day meet the same fate. The colony under Tang Tian's control had developed rapidly, which satisfied him. After inspecting the colony, Tang Tian had already begun considering entering the next dimension. After all, the empire needed considerable advanced technology to advance. When Tang Tian descended upon the Marvel Universe again, things would definitely be different.

The movie dimension Tang Tian intended to enter this time was called Pandorum, a low-budget yet highly profitable science-fiction world. Its most valuable asset was the Earth civilization technology tree of the year 2153 aboard the Elysium, which would benefit Tang Tian's development.

The story of Pandorum was this: after hundreds of years of development, human civilization had evolved to a high level and gradually extended its reach into the depths of space. However, as the population surged, limited resources were exhausted. By 2174, Earth's resources had become critically scarce, and the war for resources had reached its peak. In search of a new paradise for survival, humanity launched a spacecraft named Elysium into the universe, beginning a long and unknown journey of cosmic exploration.

After a long period of deep sleep, crewman Bower and Captain Peyton awoke one after another. For some unknown reason, they had completely forgotten the purpose and mission of their voyage. Bower and Peyton worked together to inspect the spacecraft and soon discovered the corpses of their other companions, whose deaths had been horrifying. Moreover, they did not appear to be the only remaining life forms. A mysterious creature still threatened their lives...

This time, Tang Tian would enter the movie dimension alone, because this world was easier to handle and his strength had recovered. He was immune to many high-tech weapons. Various developed and undeveloped virus samples from the real world had been transferred to the colony, including the Progenitor Virus, T-Veronica Virus, and G-Virus, which were nearly complete. After returning this time, he could inject the viruses and gain powerful strength. Once this journey ended, the next journey would also mark the revival of the Iron Empire.

PS: After Pandorum comes I, Robot. The plundering will officially begin. Please support me, everyone.
