"Two colonies have already been occupied. Although they haven't been connected yet, once the boss awakens and obtains technology from other dimensions, connecting them should be possible. Right, we also need a plan. After all, without being in the infinite reincarnation cycle, we can't get the Main God's help." In the Empire State Building of the colony, Tang Xing stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
Ever since Tang Tian had been undergoing viral enhancement, Tang Xing had been thinking about how to reach the scale of the Iron Empire they had once built. Although they now possessed biotechnology, energy weapon technology, space battleship technology, maglev technology, and other advanced technologies, developing them fully was still far too slow. Thus, Tang Xing considered the dimensions in his mind that could be plundered.
In Tang Tian and Tang Xing's redesign, the Iron Empire combined steel-themed dimensions such as Terminator, I, Robot, and The Matrix. The main system was to use a fusion of the Red Queen, the Mechanical Emperor, Transcendence, VIKI, and Skynet. Due to limitations in advanced technology and resources, they could only manufacture large quantities of powerful weapons such as biological weapons, clone armies, laser weapons, and electromagnetic weapons.
Tang Xing and Tang Tian planned to travel to other worlds and obtain the knowledge and resources within them. For example, the first mechanical movie dimension Tang Tian would visit after awakening was I, Robot, which contained intelligent multifunctional civilian robots, Sonny, who possessed emotions, VIKI, the supercomputer, and other things.
Then there was the Terminator series: the super A.I. Skynet, multifunctional military robots ranging from T-1 battlefield robots to T-X humanoid robots, massive five-meter Reapers, exoskeleton Reapers, and other powerful robots, as well as time machines, hydrogen metal batteries, and ion weapons.
The Matrix had virtual reality technology, the Matrix, and octopus robots.
Men in Black had countless alien weapons, spaceships, the galaxy, supersonic spacecraft, and small time machines. Elysium had artificial space stations, military robots, and medical machines. Naruto had the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Tailed Beasts, all kinds of ninjutsu, chakra, curse marks, the Sharingan, the Rinnegan, various bloodline limits, and numerous forbidden techniques. Inuyasha had the Shikon Jewel and the genes of all kinds of immortal demons.
Starship Troopers had faster-than-light spaceships, Q-bombs, and Arachnids.
Lucy had cPh4, Limitless had nzT-48, Chronicle had Superpower Crystals, while Predators, Back to the Future, The Time Machine, The Fifth Element, Left 4 Dead, Pacific Rim, Judge Dredd, The Mummy, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, The Thirteenth Floor, The War of the Worlds, Underworld, Blade, Transformers, and countless other movies and games contained endless weapons and resources. All kinds of knowledge and useful genes were things Tang Tian could plunder.
"Sure enough, the Empire lacks everything right now. Tang Tian, when are you going to wake up? Hurry up and get up so we can plunder resources." After having the Red Queen download the dimensional-plundering plan from his mind, Tang Xing spoke without any regard for his image.
To establish the initial foundation, they needed ten million tons of steel, 5.5 million tons of oil, and over five million tons each of copper, zinc, lead, aluminum, mercury, and other resources. Of course, if they used mechanical octopuses, they could obtain the required steel and various metals within just a few days. Although the Planet of the Apes Colony now had tens of millions of people, they were definitely not as fast as mechanical octopuses at mining. However, resource extraction in a colony would not be controlled anyway.
All of Umbrella's scientists and technical personnel had now been moved into the colony, while their clones were left behind in the real world. The end of World War II accelerated the pace of the Marvel Universe. First, the plot of The Wolverine had just begun. The world was nearing 1945, and the war was about to end. When Tang Tian descended again, it would be the Cold War era, when X-Men: First Class began. Those distinctive mutant genes were all his targets. If he wanted more powerful subordinates, he had to keep plundering.
The scientific path Tang Tian followed, one of constant development, had tremendously powerful overall capabilities. With Tang Tian's ability to travel through time and space, he could recklessly wreak havoc, gaining powerful enforcers and scientific technology in different dimensions. After plundering large amounts of advanced technology, he could sell it to the U.S. government during the Cold War, strengthening Umbrella's influence and making further arrangements.
Whenever Tang Xing thought of the various freaks in the future Marvel Universe, he was left speechless. Heroes such as Sentry and Superman, villains such as Thanos and Galactus—it was enough to render him speechless. Moreover, if they wanted to grow stronger, they had to keep selling arms. Only then could they achieve better development.
Meanwhile, the real world had progressed from December 1943 to 1945, and this day was equally significant. First, the U.S. president, Roosevelt, who had been elected for four terms and helped the United States escape the economic crisis, was about to leave the political stage. It was certain that Truman, a representative figure of the future Cold War era, would become the next president.
The U.S. War Department had begun implementing the Manhattan Project in June 1942, with Howard Stark as the chief person in charge. Through their research, they developed the atomic bomb before Nazi Germany and dropped one on the island nation to hasten its collapse. Secretly urged on by Umbrella's representatives left behind by Tang Tian and the right-wing military, Roosevelt decided to carry out another nuclear bombing against the island nation.
"Put me through to President Roosevelt." At the New York City headquarters, the clone, also Tang Tian's avatar, gave the order. In truth, after Tang Tian's main body left the real world, he had left behind these pieces on the board to strike at certain countries and collect various metals. As a result, over the past few years, from the end of World War II until now, they had successfully gathered more than fifty billion tons of various metal resources. Once they had fully obtained the advanced technology, they could begin the Steel Empire Plan.
Sure enough, the president's phone was quickly connected. A relaxed voice came through the line. "Mr. Donners, this is Roosevelt. We can agree to your request, but we need some of your technology."
Tang Tian's avatar fell silent briefly before quickly speaking. "Then, Mr. President, what technology from my company do you need?" Tang Tian asked calmly after pretending to think it over.
"We need supersonic battleship technology and cross-type maglev technology," Roosevelt said directly. What he did not know was that Tang Tian had deliberately had his representatives provide that information. Furthermore, Roosevelt wanted Howard Stark to establish a Department of Homeland Resources and a strategic division, and he needed a secure place from which to command them—the future flying battleship. That was why he needed Umbrella's confidential technology.
"No problem. Besides that, we also need large quantities of metal resources. The price is negotiable," Tang Tian said easily after hearing Roosevelt agree.
"Very good, Mr. Donners. A pleasure working with you," Roosevelt said happily over the phone, as though he had finally gained an advantage over the Umbrella Corporation. But Umbrella was not so easy to take advantage of. Tang Tian's principle in selling things was that most of what he sold was crippled versions, vastly inferior to the originals.
