Chapter 1036 - 78: The Final Counterattack (Supplement)

[First Practice of Special Technology: Gamma Serum Production]

[Description: Gamma rays are the highest energy wavebands of electromagnetic waves that penetrate the whole universe, an important observation index in many scientific fields. Their generation and control have always been a massive challenge.]

[Bruce Banner is a natural son of gamma rays. His research on these rays far surpasses that of the super soldier serum creators, veering more towards atomic physics and quantum mechanics rather than biological enhancement. Or rather, biological enhancement is merely his "job," while the former two are his life.]

[This technology taught you how to stably produce and control gamma rays, resulting in a special serum capable of merging with biological cells.]

[In contrast to the Lizard Serum, this technology isn’t compatible with biological organisms. Gamma rays can only kill them.]

[Reward Technology Points: 50,000]

[Current Technology Points: 100,000]

[First Practice of Special Technology: Gamma Radiation Energy Material]

[Description: In this universe, gamma rays didn’t extract energy from beyond the material universe as Bruce Banner imagined, so he considered other utilization methods.]

[Gamma radiation energy material is a highly plastic composite material mixing metals and organics. After being exposed to gamma radiation, it exhibits a special piezoelectric effect, exciting electrons, controlling their flow, and generating electricity.]

[A human injected with gamma serum can almost act as a fission battery when using this material, with extremely high efficiency.]

[Labor, energy, and equipment were all connected, and companies like the Rocksen Group would love this invention. With just a little serum and some brain-computer interface equipment, a human injected and left disoriented can be transformed into a high-performance robot working to death:]

[Without thinking ability, not requiring food, drink, or toilets, being monitored 24/7, capable of being driven, customizable modular design, etc., all combined in one entity.]

[Reward Technology Points: 30,000]

[Current Technology Points: 130,000]

Lille shook the gamma serum in his hand: to him, this thing is practically useless, but manufacturing it requires numerous technologies.

By combining it with gamma radiation energy material, Lille can perfectly handle nuclear power plant waste!

Just wrapping it in a large amount of radiation energy material is equivalent to creating the simplest fission battery!

Although the power of these waste batteries won’t be very high, once the volume increases, it can fully meet daily needs...

Clearly, the Rocksen Group wouldn’t think of this use because there are no civilians there, only consumables; Bruce Banner has always been working for the military, doing whatever they tell him, not realizing or having the opportunity to conduct this kind of research.

Of course, for present-day New York, there’s another direct use:

Almost everyone using Rocksen prosthetics has been injected with gamma serum, their graves can provide electricity.

Meanwhile, Lille will perform the simplest upgrade and modification of the space carrier, directly completing a second upgrade of the nuclear reactor, modifying the internal wiring structure.

Besides, a large number of intact Quinjet remain on the space carrier, these jets can perform supersonic cruising and combat, and they can change vector engine directions like floating cars to achieve in-place stop-and-hover, quite cutting-edge technology.

As for the production capacity and workers required for modification, Europe and Africa, two fully unified and industrially upgraded economies, are providing support, making everything unbelievably fast.

In less than two days, support can cross the ocean to reach New York from the other side of the Earth—

It’s not just military supplies being transformed, various engineering robots emerged from transport ships, quickly clearing shelter areas and setting up large-scale shelters with prefabricated houses the same day!

Even Martin was somewhat stunned: he anticipated Lille’s return might be a kingly comeback but didn’t expect such things—

This industrial capability was completely incomprehensible to him, knowing that before meeting Lille, he was just a finance criminal with gang ties!

He once held the power of the state in awe, always thought supporting the President of the United States and sponsoring civil wars would be his life’s greatest accomplishment.

But seeing the industrial prowess of this "New World Alliance," he realized he couldn’t understand this industrial capability at all...

This was indeed normal, as Lille defeated Ultron using unconventional warfare tactics, but in essence managed to decimate the robots. Much like people from the pre-industrial era couldn’t comprehend the radical transformation the industrial era would bring to the world.

"Stop daydreaming, tell me about the situation in other cities."

Lille tapped the table, and the holographic projector in front outlined the entire United States with states marked by different factions in distinct colors.

Martin quickly regained his senses: "President Ellis is completely a puppet of Rocksen, people in these states face high warfare taxes. If they can’t pay, they have to take out loans, and if those can’t be repaid, the new law requires selling labor, which entails..."

That entails prosthetic modifications, injecting themselves with something called the green vaccine, and then implanting a brain-computer interface. It’s said calling it a vaccine is a way to lower public resistance.

Of course, now everyone knows the ’vaccine’ isn’t a good thing.

In our last communication, I explained my insider plan to you, the information insiders sent back was from about two months ago."

With that, Martin marked the states that initially supported Presidents Atlas and Barnes as red and either marked or removed the colors from their faction’s states, such as Texas.

"These states have already betrayed, the black states... we can’t get in. According to insiders, no one is left inside—no free people, just contractual slaves, which is our term for people who have signed indentured contracts."

The Rocksen Group is actually conducting a propaganda offensive, constantly broadcasting over radio and wireless frequencies about how fast their governed America’s GDP is growing.

However, thanks to insiders placed by Martin, many places can hear about the brutal occurrences in these states...

Despite that, some people still believe in Rocksen’s narrative of a flourishing GDP.

"...I keep telling them, just looking at GDP doesn’t explain anything," Martin pointed at the states under Rocksen’s real control, "cold numbers hide human sacrifices; a world where everyone works 20 hours will naturally have higher output than one where everyone works only 8 hours.

However, the former’s quality of life is far inferior to the latter, especially as under President Ellis’s regime, no one lives debt-free. Their end is all sold lives to Rocksen.

With oppression comes rebellion, Peter and his team did an excellent job, forcing Rocksen to deploy many soldiers for security battles, and they’ve effectively disabled many land-based missile silos.

I believe those guys in front of you are just pushover chickens, when should we launch the attack?"

"In fact, I’ve already sent out an advance force, once the space carrier is modified tomorrow morning, we can launch the final assault."

Martin relaxedly sat on a chair, visibly in a great mood with a much-relieved mental state:

"Oh, by the way, I still don’t understand how Rocksen has so much armed force? Where on Earth did those space airships, advanced jets, and fearless soldiers come from?"

"Them..." Lille paused, "Who they are doesn’t matter. What matters is they’re going down."

Indeed, most people even now don’t know about Hydra’s existence. The most, they found out the United Nations’ "Shield Bureau" supports President Ellis, and President Ellis supports the Rocksen Group.

It was difficult to tell from the start whether they were united, but after such prolonged standoffs, Martin had discerned from intelligence that the enemy camp didn’t seem so tight-knit.

Yet none of this mattered anymore: since the Rocksen Group was so battered by Ultron, and their homeland struggled against urban disturbances, their industrial capability was indeed weaker than Lille imagined.

Unlike Lille, the Rocksen Group and Hydra sought absolute control, absolute order from the beginning—

Initially, Lille and the entire world found themselves struggling for survival under their tyranny. However, as time passed, their "unbreakable" order had already begun to crumble before Lille had even made a move:

Starting with Tony Stark’s last-minute betrayal, then Ultron Robots’ rebellion leading to the Middle Eastern fall, followed by widening rifts between Hydra and Rocksen...

As time went on, the seemingly formidable enemy stagnated or weakened, whereas the initially weaker-looking allies banded together, slowly reborn through the flames of war...

Finally, they arrived here, and a mighty world would completely cleanse the old world’s tumors.

Numerous commands issued from Lille’s mind—

This was the final assault.
