Osborne Megacorp

Osborne Group, battleship "Entrepreneur".

Almost half of the several-thousand-meter-long ship is used to carry this epoch-making electromagnetic rail gun. The huge barrel is enough to accelerate the ejection speed of the gun to one fifth of the speed of light.

In order to overcome the huge recoil generated by the projectile ejection chamber, the Giga-class railgun was designed as a shaft-based weapon that can only be located on the centerline of the ship.

"There is nothing wrong with the weapon. The speed is not the limit yet. The fire control system needs to be optimized. It should be said that the entire weapon needs to be optimized. To be honest, I thought the hit rate would be very low, but I never thought it would be so low."

Phineas said as he looked over the data.

This is no ordinary rail gun: the shell is not a pure alloy block, but also contains a trace amount of gravitonium and a nuclear pulse thruster.

The artillery shell has its own small gravitational field. When it approaches the target 1000 meters, the gravitational field will cause the artillery shell and the target to deviate.

However, the main function of the gravity sensor is to act as a gravity sensor. As long as the distance between the projectile and the target is within [-] meters, the gravity sensor will adjust the direction of the nuclear pulse thruster and adjust the trajectory.

The so-called nuclear pulse actually uses nuclear explosions as propulsion power. In other words, there is a hydrogen bomb built into it.

The cannonball came out of the barrel at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per second. After approaching, a small sun rose, and the already extremely fast cannonball accelerated again.

It missed again - but as the cannonballs passed by many times, Ultron's spaceship had been dragged into a stall, spinning wildly in space and unable to control it at all.

With the next shot, the cannonball successfully "grazed" the side of the spacecraft. Even if it just scratched, the huge kinetic energy and gravitational field of gravity turned the spacecraft and Ultron inside into space junk.

mission completed.

"Boss, to be honest, this is like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes," Phineas said.

Phineas was right, Harry was killing mosquitoes with a cannon.

The longest point of Ultron's spaceship is no more than 200 meters. The cannonballs were fired from a distance of 6 kilometers. More than [-] seconds have passed since they reached the vicinity of Ultron's spacecraft.

If there were no ballistic correction means, hitting Ultron at this distance with just one battleship would be like buying a lottery ticket.

"How else to verify the accuracy of the weapon?" Harry responded.

In the United Nations building, all country representatives looked to the sky:

The huge battleship was in the sky, and the dazzling electric light of the gigabit-class railgun allowed representatives of various countries on the ground to see the glow of the "Entrepreneur".

From this perspective, the battleship may not be that oppressive, but the observation data from the star base made them feel a little heavier:

The target is a small unit less than 200 meters in length. The speed of the shell is about 500-700 kilometers per second, and the shooting distance is about 6 kilometers. The shell does not slow down after being fired. In other words, this is definitely not the range limit. As for accuracy , they also know what this weapon can do.

Harry is indeed using cannonballs to kill mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes are actually not important. The key is to show the cannon.

While various countries are still discussing the design of deep space battleships, the Osborne Group has already demonstrated to them a super battleship that is thousands of meters long and a space-age kinetic energy weapon with an ultra-long range.

But they didn't realize at all that the Osborne Group was building such a behemoth!

Production is a complex process, and the more sophisticated the product, the more so. Raw materials, rough processing, transportation, reprocessing, assembly...etc., a company can only be responsible for one or a few of these links at most, and As a company, they will try to avoid losing money as much as possible.

On the other hand, policies determine that the company's business cannot cover the entire society, which means that everything they do should be traceable, especially for the country. No matter how powerful a company is, it only needs a company that targets its upstream and downstream companies. Adjustments can change the market structure and company status, directly affecting its profits, let alone adjustments directly targeting its main business.

As for whether Norman helped his son grow the company in this matter?

The fact is that no matter how high Norman's prestige among the people is and how strong his control is, there will always be political opponents. This incident of bypassing Congress to fund the development of nuclear weapons by a company cannot be without any trouble. After all, the president is not the emperor, and neither is the company. nation.

In other words, in theory, it is impossible for the Osborne Group to completely hide a plan of this scale in modern society!

Especially in the understanding of all of them: The only place that can support the production of space battleships is the Solar System Base!

The Osborne Group has made this matter so airtight that in the worst case scenario, the Osborne Group may already be on an equal footing with them.

This means that the relationship between the countries on the earth and the Osborne Group has undergone earth-shaking changes - a company that masters certain high-tech technologies will eventually be controlled by the country.

But for a company, or organization, that is completely self-sufficient, things have changed qualitatively.

Tanitsugu

Although the sound of artillery shells could not be heard, the shelling actually sent a deafening announcement to the earth:

The Osborne Group has become independent of the Earth system.

Several representatives looked at each other and saw each other's serious solemnity: Times have changed.

.....

In the woods, the staff of the Osborne Group were inspecting the spacecraft, which seemed to them to be somewhat broken.

A piece of equipment with a somewhat "twisted" appearance was carried out, which made the synthetic workers present shudder.

There are nine synthesizers who were abducted here by Ultron and conducted some kind of experiment:

The electronic brains of these synthetic humans were disassembled and roughly connected together.

Ultron didn't know the existence of the Mind Stone. He could only assume that the synthetic humans originally created must have something special. He only needed to erase their individual consciousness and twist the remaining parts together, and he could get a brand new one. , unconscious "basic upgrade matrix".

Then, just by pouring his consciousness into it, he can truly escape from the identity of AI and become a real "living body".

It can be seen that Ultron's so-called "rescuing the synthetics" is also somewhat different from the usual rescue. He wants to mix the matrix of the synthetics, erase their individual consciousness, and then occupy the magpie's nest himself to construct a newer... The powerful "Ultron".

Fusion of all the synths to achieve his evolution is his "salvation".

However, he obviously failed. Harry asked his men to broadcast the situation here directly to the outside world. This should be able to help the synths shape their moral values ​​and label Ultron as an "anti-synthetic element."

"Do you see anything?" Harry walked to Wanda's side.

"Ultron seems to have instilled this part of it into it first. There are so many emotions mixed in it. I can feel confusion, fear, loneliness, sadness...all negative emotions."

Without a main personality, there are only pure emotions in Suture's mind.

The abyss of negative emotions seemed to bring Wanda back to the night she lost her parents, but in the illusion, her brother Pietro was also dead - the bullet penetrated his chest and took his life.

She was truly alone.

Sadness and loneliness almost occupied her mind--

Just when she was about to sink into it, Pietro discovered something unusual and recalled her consciousness in time:

"Hey Wanda, look at me, how are you? Wanda!"

Panting heavily, Wanda realized that even that night, her twin brother was beside her, and Pietro was still alive!

"How's it going? Did you find anything new?" Harry asked standing aside. Just now, Wanda's mood had experienced an exaggerated ups and downs, and her magic power suddenly increased a lot.

Wanda said slowly: "This is... a pure emotional collective. Ultron wanted to use it to improve himself, but in the end he failed to complete it."

"Is that just a half-finished product?"

"Yes - what will the company do with this?"

Harry looked at Wanda, she seemed to have something to say.

"It will probably be scrapped. Are you interested in this thing?"

Wanda nodded: "A personality has been born in this emotional collective, and I want to help him."

Harry touched his chin: So this is the Scarlet Witch's empathy?Or is it a fateful choice?

"...Sure, do you want to give him a name?"

Faced with this problem, Wanda immediately thought of the illusion she had seen, and blurted out one word:

"Vision—I want to call him Vision."
