But now Sun Yang comes here so carelessly, either he has an absolutely reliable backer, or he is very confident in his own strength.
It's impossible that he is so stupid as to come here without thinking. Ains doesn't think Sun Yang is a complete idiot.
Choosing a backer was unlikely. Irons could confidently say that Atlas was the most powerful military group on the planet. Choosing anyone as a backer was courting death. The only truth was that Sun Yang had the ability to survive the elite soldiers and guns.
Although this was a reception room, it was equipped with shielded gun ports and transparent bulletproof glass. Visitors who tried to cause trouble would be shot to death.
"Ains, you're getting old. Has your thinking become dull?" Sun Yang bluntly interrupted Ains's thoughts. Ains then realized that he had been silent for too long.
"It's been so long and you didn't tell me in advance. Do you have anything to discuss with me?" Irons still maintained his image, keeping a somewhat indifferent and calm attitude.
"Well, yes. These two... oh, they are the protagonists. That doesn't matter." Sun Yang looked at the AST personnel on both sides. The humanoids had already informed Sun Yang of the identities of these two people. These two were characters appearing in the Advanced Warfare game.
A grumbling sound came from under the guard's helmet, probably complaining that Sun Yang was stupid and didn't care what they did.
"Ains, you're getting old. You've had a lot of missions lately cleaning up defectors, and it seems like you're losing control of your men. They want to start their own business," Sun Yang emphasized again. After repeating this twice, Ains was getting a little upset.
"It's enough for you to know it. What's the point of repeating it over and over again? It's interesting, isn't it?" Irons frowned, thinking about how to explain it to this guy.
"Ians, I can't accept the fact that you are getting old. It's not time for you to retire yet, and you haven't done everything you should do. So I brought some medical technology... I know you don't trust me. After all, in your eyes, I am a mysterious guy."
"Let me give you a convincing reason: I can bring advanced technology from other worlds, and this technology has given me everything I have now. But I cannot, and I don't intend to, replace you, because you promised to make the world a better place. I think this is something you can do and I can't."
Sun Yang also looked at Ains and smiled slightly.
"Let's respect each other a little. Just like before, you provide supplies from all over the world, and I provide humanoids to help you deal with problems. Is that okay?"
Of course, Sun Yang knew that Ains couldn't do that. Someone like him, in a position like this, naturally wanted to seize all the technology and resources. True, he would build infrastructure to ensure the livelihoods of those under his management, but that didn't conflict with his attempt to plunder technology.
But as long as it can be stable for a while, it will be enough. Sun Yang does not expect long-term stability, just a few years will be enough.
"Thank you for the medical technology you brought, Sun Yang. The arm technology you brought before was indeed very interesting. I want to know what new technology you can bring?" Irons decisively changed the subject and began to focus on the technology provided by Sun Yang.
"Artificial hearts, artificial spines, and various implants can replace internal organs." After Sun Yang opened the box, he took out the instruction manual inside.
That's right, this is the technology of the Great Mountain Range again. The humanoids were right when they complained about the radiation technology that would eat away at their lives.
Building upon the various implants currently available in the Great Mountain Range, the humanoids conducted extensive experiments and testing. Through the tireless efforts of the Mind and the scientific research humanoids, more and more stable implants were developed to replace organs lost or aging in humans.
Just like replacing a broken machine with a new part, the humanoids recruited some wasteland volunteers in the radiation world to perform the surgery, and now these people can live a normal life in the outside world without being affected at all.
While these new implants aren't as powerful as the "combat implants," they have few side effects and are incredibly long-lasting. This longevity is a hallmark of the Fallout world.
"I'll recruit volunteers for testing..." Irons only took a quick glance and realized that once this thing was launched, it would bring down a large number of medical companies on the market. Those companies that relied on selling expensive drugs would go bankrupt immediately.
Don't even think about the media. If Irons can be brought down by the media, he's done for.
"I don't care whether you sell it or use it for yourself. But don't make the price too high, okay? You know my temper. If you can be more approachable, I will bring you good stuff next time." Sun Yang reminded him.
"Of course. Thank you again for coming, Sun Yang. Are you interested in sightseeing?" Irons suddenly became very enthusiastic. Seeing good stuff naturally changed his attitude.
"No, I'll leave Floren here. She will perform the full surgery and help you understand how to use these things. As for me, I'll just take people for a casual stroll. I'll leave after you're done." Sun Yang didn't have the time to accept the sightseeing tour offered by Ains. It would be better for him to take the dolls out to play.
It seems that there won't be a fight this time. Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
505 Old thing explodes gold coins
Sun Yang stayed in the Advanced Warfare World for a while longer, waiting to see how Atlas would handle this batch of technology. Because Ains's technical team was somewhat confused about the replaceable organ technology developed by the Great Mountain Range, the time was slightly longer.
In this world, they've only just achieved a relatively mature iteration of arm prosthetic technology. But building a replacement arm is completely different from building a replacement organ. The team here was barely able to walk when Sun Yang pulled them into a run.
Sun Yang didn't care whether these people's foundation would be unstable because of this. This was not something he needed to consider.
But that said, Irons was quite efficient. He quickly found a few volunteers to replace the samples Sun Yang had brought with him, and with Floren's assistance, he performed the surgery. They couldn't build it, but they could perform the surgery. Atlas's medical system was quite comprehensive.
While observing the conditions of these volunteers, Irons also began to vigorously promote the artificial organs in his hands. He mobilized the media mouthpieces under his control to publicize the advantages of artificial organs from multiple angles and aspects.
Americans are drawn to these kinds of advertising, like claims that a person's heart doesn't stop beating even after death, or that you can eat all sorts of supplements like candy. They simply love these kinds of exaggerations.
This statement is not nonsense. The artificial organs subsequently developed by the Great Mountain Range can withstand the side effects of some drugs without any problem. Although other organs that have not been replaced may have a huge burden, they are still much stronger than before.
The most amazing thing about these artificial organs is that they basically solve the problem of human compatibility.
The artificial organs the Great Mountain Range prototypes had were notoriously incompatible. Replacing a heart or a brain would cause all sorts of strange problems in other parts of the body due to organ incompatibility. The Great Mountain Range's solution was to replace the spine as well, allowing the natural organs to function normally. But now, any replacement would do.
After several days of meticulous observation and testing by the research team, they delivered a report to Irons, detailing the results of numerous medical observations, as well as conclusions drawn from blood tests and measurements of the volunteers' athletic ability and physiological indicators.
In recent reports, the research team has found no flaws in these artificial organs. They are more durable than natural organs and have an estimated minimum lifespan of 60 years. This means a fully grown adult could use one until death. Of course, replacements can be made mid-life, potentially extending lifespan.
Although these organs do not have the ability to repair themselves, their strength is indeed beyond the team's imagination. The scientific research team allowed these artificial organs to simulate the human body's circulation process for several years in a short period of time, and the results showed that these organs were fine.
These results made Irons overjoyed. Although he still didn't plan to install it right away... This matter concerned him, and he cherished his life very much.
This time, Sun Yang provided common artificial organs such as the heart, lungs, digestive system, liver, and kidneys, as well as supporting maintenance technologies and how to perform surgery.
After confirming that Sun Yang could rub out a lot of samples, Irons was eager to learn the technology to make these organs.
In response, Sun Yang found a room and brought out several specially made holographic printers. As long as the machine was powered on, it could produce various organs 24 hours a day, and the speed was not slow, producing one in just a few minutes.
"Like I said before, the source of my goods is not very reliable." Sun Yang continued to talk nonsense to Ains, "This is one of the few machines that can be produced. It must be kept carefully. I dare not disassemble this equipment. If it breaks, it will be a disaster. So I don't know the specific technical details."
Of course, the truth is that these machines have very harsh self-destruct systems. Once damage is detected, they will immediately initiate the self-destruct program and burn the internal organs to ashes.
"So how did you learn how to maintain and use these organs?" Irons asked, looking at the machine Sun Yang brought out. He watched Sun Yang's hands-on, fool-proof instructions. He plugged it in, clicked on the menu, and after a few customization options, he could start making it. It was more convenient than many food ordering apps, after all, without the membership benefits and incentives to top up.
"Because I asked someone to test it myself. But you don't believe the data I got." Sun Yang said something to Ains, but the latter did not take Sun Yang's words seriously.
Irons didn't believe Sun Yang could only produce these few machines, nor did he believe he could steal anything from other worlds. These were all excuses; he simply didn't want to exchange technology, so he deliberately packaged it. He knew with his knees that if he disassembled the machine, the most likely outcome would be an explosion.
"What do you need?" Everything in the world is inseparable from the exchange of interests, and Irons is well aware of this.
"Regular material supplies, add two zeros after them. Isn't that too much?" Sun Yang simply requested a hundred times more industrial building materials. He never had too much of this kind of stuff. Before the mass production factories in the American apocalypse were completed, he still needed a large amount of supplies. After all, trading organ production equipment for income increased a hundredfold, so Sun Yang still made a profit.
"Also, I'll leave a humanoid behind to maintain these devices. Yes, this one was also drawn from the accompanying lottery. She'll perform routine maintenance," Sun Yang said, not caring whether Ains believed him or not. The goods are in my hands, so even if you don't believe me, you'll have to go along with what I say. "Also, as I've said before, I hope these organs can be safely delivered to anyone, including civilians. The price of these organs and the accompanying replacement service cannot exceed civilian expenses."
"What do you mean, Mr. Sun?" Irons stared at Sun Yang, wondering what he was thinking.
"Let me be clear. Don't drive up prices, and don't give priority to the rich and powerful. The person I'm leaving here will monitor the number of surgical records and notify me if the quota doesn't match. I don't want my technology to be used by you to amass wealth and monopolize the market."
"Oh? You're going to order me around?" Irons narrowed his eyes and took a sip of his coffee. The atmosphere between them was somewhat tense, and Sun Yang stared at him silently.
"If you won't protect your people, why should I cooperate with you?" Sun Yang directly used moral coercion. He admitted that he wanted to disgust Irons. After all, allowing him to continue rapidly amassing wealth might accelerate the consolidation of his business empire, something Sun Yang didn't want to see.
"...I accept your terms." Irons wasn't about to turn hostile. Or perhaps he was just saying that, but in reality, he was still going to resell. I have so many sales channels, why would you control how I sell? Even if I gave away some of my quota, there was still money to be made.
As for the information related to military weapons, Sun Yang did not even mention it. When they stayed at the Atlas headquarters, the humanoids did not rest at all. They collected all the information related to weapon technology that was connected.
Even if Atlas built a local area network, it would be useless. A random humanoid device would render the network useless. At most, confidential developments wouldn't be accessible, but that was enough. The data recovered from Atlas during this time was enough to keep Oasis' development department busy for a while.
506 Preparing to Go to the Dark Soul World Again
Whatever Irons did with the technology was none of Sun Yang's business. He had already brought the life-extending technology, so it would be suspicious for him to beg Irons to replace his organs with new ones. It would be more accurate to say that Sun Yang was suspicious in his own right, and Irons, who didn't want to antagonize Sun Yang, maintained their relationship.
After ensuring that Irons's researchers and medical staff had mastered the art of replacing artificial organs (which was not much different from replacing natural organs) and performing post-operative work, Sun Yang left this world with his humanoids without looking back. Ultimately, it was just a strange deal to prevent Irons from actually going to hell.
But ultimately, unless it was something important, Sun Yang generally wouldn't go to a world on his own. After all, a humanoid only needed his own mana bar to move, and if Sun Yang wanted to move himself, he'd have to use the Campfire Explorer, a device whose workings were unclear. This was one of the reasons why Sun Yang had been staying at the base for so long.
But speaking of the Campfire Explorer...it was time to go to the Dark Souls. He'd promised Rukatiye a trip back home, and he needed to talk to Andil. Of course, it was also to clear his mind.
It's time to complete your pilgrimage. Complete the remaining DLC, meet the old king of Dolan Graeg, and slay the final Fallen of Darkness, Duna Xiangzhuo.
***
"It went very quickly this time," said Pascal.
When Sun Yang and the dolls returned to the base, Pascal, who had stayed behind, couldn't help but sigh. In her memory, Sun Yang's trips with his men took ages before he could return. It usually took months.
"I originally expected that I might have a falling out with Irons, but I didn't expect him to be so sensible and not to break up with me. If he wanted to forcibly plunder my technology, the fight would really last for a long time." Sun Yang put away the spiral sword and looked up at Pascal who walked out of the monitoring room.
"Unfortunately, I will be leaving again soon. I will have to trouble you and the agent to continue operating the base during this period. By the way, the information obtained from Ains has been sent to the scientific research department of Oasis, remember to check it out." Sun Yang waved his hand to let the humanoids around him disperse.
"Then I'll wait for your good news~" Pascal quickly agreed.
"Will it take a long time this time? If you are going to the Dark Soul world, do you really not need to take us with you?" The human figures around him did not really disperse, they were all looking at Sun Yang.
"No need. Now I am strong enough to move freely in the Dark Soul world. Letting you stay in that world is itself a risky thing. It will be faster for me to act alone." Sun Yang shook his head and prepared to walk towards his office. He wanted to change some clothes.
"That's... true." The humanoids breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sun Yang's words, but they also looked a little unwilling.
M4 lowered his eyes, visibly dejected. "The Commander no longer needs our protection. This is indeed a good thing... Perhaps I should switch to a research position and continue to shine."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You need to conserve your energy for the next mission." Sun Yang touched the head of M4 in front of him. The touch was really good. "Have a good rest and wait for me to come back. Contact me if you need anything."
The elite humanoid nodded, but as soon as the AR team turned around, they saw a capable human walking in from the movable door.
"I see you're back. Do you want to rest for a while, or set off now?" Rukatiye asked, leaning against the door. She still had the White King's greatsword slung across her back.
"I'll pack up and leave soon. You can wait for me at the door of the command center. I'll be there soon." Sun Yang coaxed away the humanoids who looked a little unhappy.
For the tactical humanoids, it is a very honorable thing to go out to fight with the commander, but in fact, Sun Yang has basically been taking Rukatiye out to fight recently, and these humanoids rarely have the opportunity to follow in the battle.
"I understand. I'll also go back and make final preparations..." Rukatiye said, and prepared to leave. However, as she turned and stepped out of the door, she bumped into a hurried golden figure.
Bang! Rukatiye only shook slightly, and the golden figure flew out and fell to the ground.
"I remember you're... K5? Why are you running so fast?" Rukatiye saw who was coming and pulled K5 up from the ground. K5's nose was red from being hit, and it looked like the impact was quite strong.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Rukatiye! Commander! Please let me go with you!" K5 apologized to Rukatiye vigorously, and then shouted at Sun Yang excitedly.
K5 is the only humanoid in the entire base who actually controls an undead body. She insists on using this body in the base, practicing self-cultivation every day and honing the power of her faith.
"I can't do this. K5, your body is quite weak in the world of Dark Soul. If you get separated, it will be difficult for you to survive..." Sun Yang said directly, but when he focused his attention on K5, he found that the strength of her soul power was not right.
Unlike other humanoids, the soul power in K5's body has become very "robust". If the soul in an ordinary humanoid is around level 20, then K5 has reached level 50, which is more than twice that of other humanoids.
The Oasis Research Department previously submitted a report stating that the so-called "undead bodies" created by humans actually have little potential for growth. While they could theoretically be trained to the same combat power as second-tier tactical humanoids, the path to that end was far too arduous. Furthermore, humanoids evolve with technology, while undead bodies cannot—they are merely versions of an iterative process, potentially obsolete.
Unlike the undead transformed from the natives, Rukatiye and Strider, the natural undead's physical training and absorption limits are very high. In terms of levels, their strength or intelligence level will probably reach around 80 before reaching a bottleneck.
The bottleneck of the undead physique hits very early. It basically reaches a point where it's difficult to grow after reaching level 30, making it completely unnecessary to provide souls to humanoids. Artificially created undead physiques are completely defective.
Even Andil had to rely on a natural human pregnancy to give birth to a half-dragon child with an extremely long lifespan. Sun Yang was unwilling to use this method to create an undead body, so this also caused the undead body experiments at the base to almost come to a standstill.
But it seems K5 has truly been allowing her soul to thrive during this time. She's been training herself to this point, despite her undead body's limited potential.
"K5, your body is currently unable to provide me with protection... You should also be aware of your current level. Tell me what you think." Sun Yang walked over and pulled K5 in front of him. K5 became visibly nervous.
Although K5 is not a calm humanoid when she is a humanoid, she has even less control over her emotions when she is a "human".
"I, I want to become stronger. But I have killed all the creatures around here, and I need more souls to hone myself. I want to become stronger and follow in your footsteps." K5 said.
AK15, who was passing nearby, stopped and listened intently to K5's words. AK15 had previously approached Sun Yang, hoping to request that he use naturally occurring undead as humanoid bodies, thus circumventing the issue of potential enhancement. However, Sun Yang had evaded the discussion.
"Can I get the commander to agree just by saying a few nice words? Then my idea of using the corpses of the undead as the body should also be able to be achieved through eloquence?" AK15 muttered to himself in the distance.
"With your ape brain? Forget it. Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well talk to the commander and see if the mind core can be stuffed into the tank. Do something that suits our status, and don't be so obsessed with the stuff of charlatans all day long, okay?" AK12 complained.
"...I think your suggestion might be more reliable." AK15 said this and continued on his way. The rebellious team did not linger for long.
In the transfer room, Sun Yang hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to K5's request.
"...Come with me. But you have to bring enough supplies, and you have to touch this spiral sword, and you can't sit at other campfires—I need to make sure you stay with me after you die in battle, so I can send you back. Do you understand?" Sun Yang thought for a moment and didn't refuse K5. It would be too cruel to refuse.
It doesn't matter if the other tactical figures don't follow. As for K5, her body needs to hunt souls on its own to become stronger.
She has persisted for so long, there is no need for me to give her a blow and forbid her to follow me.
"No problem, Commander!" K5 nodded vigorously.
"Then go and pack yourselves, we will set off in a few hours." Sun Yang waved his hand and left the scene.
507 Return to Dark Soul!
In an unknown part of Dolan Gureg, ripples began to form in the air. Soon, a shimmering light filled the air, and three figures descended upon the area.
As soon as Sun Yang landed on the ground, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. The two women beside him quickly helped him up and carefully let him sit down.
"I didn't expect the consumption to be so huge..." Rukatiye was wearing a set of light alien alloy armor reinforced with wedge-shaped stones. The waist bag behind the armor contained various supplies needed for survival and combat prepared by Sun Yang for her.
"I'm ready to run to other worlds again. What do you say, Rukatiye, do you want to teleport to Secret Harbor through the campfire?" Sun Yang stuck the spiral sword into the ground and asked Rukatiye and K5 to sit on the spiral sword for a while to restore their condition to a full state.
"Of course I will. I will come back as soon as possible after we meet. When I finish my business, we will see each other again." Rukatiye waved her hand casually. She didn't intend to say goodbye, as it felt like they would be separated for a long time.
Rukatiye walked towards the campfire next to the giant tree. After she reached out and touched it, her whole body became illusory and blurry, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
"It's been a long time since I came here again... Was I brought here by you last time? I was too excited at that time and didn't observe this world carefully." K5 breathed a sigh of relief after Rukatiye left, and started communicating normally with Sun Yang.
After all, in her eyes, Rukatiye belonged to the Madam, and she was just a doll that followed her desperately. She would shut up when someone was talking, and then interrupt them after they had finished speaking.
