But in fact, Xie Yuan had been delaying this preparation for ten years before actually setting off!
In the past ten years, Xie Yuan restored most of what he gained from the UFO world to the Gear Valley of Mars - an integrated industrial center built in a huge depression.
It includes the mutant cultivation center, MEC robot production line, SPARK assembly plant, heavy equipment manufacturing plant, ordnance manufacturing plant and long-legged mecha assembly plant.
At the moment, the vehicle manufacturing plant and spacecraft launch pad are being built. As long as they have these, Xie Yuan can close the hyperspace door at the bottom of the port - always keeping it open, Xie Yuan always suspects there will be side effects.
For this reason, Xie Yuan also has to equip the place with a large water pumping station - thanks to the deep underground water on Mars; a mineral collection station - the future of the Mars base will not last long without income generation; and a mineral refinery - it is also prepared for its own use. Mineral export business; large-scale hydroponic chambers and protein farms - no matter what, mutants, as well as future Metal Gear employees and Xia Kingdom personnel need to eat; nutrition bar manufacturing factory - in order to cope with possible food shortages , it is necessary to create emergency food that can be stored for a long time.
Finally, there are residential areas arranged between these factories, which can accommodate about 50,000 people. Currently, there are only about 400 mutants and 4,000 MEC robots stationed here... There are only about a dozen real humans. indivual.
I really have to thank STC Intelligence. Its standard construction template capability allows Xie Yuan to use the most accurate resource consumption to create maximum optimization results.
But at the same time, there is another reason why Xie Yuan delayed this for ten years - two large-scale global corporate wars separated by two.
Xie Yuan encountered many things during this time.
…
At that time, from 2016 to 2026, the earth was still in troubled times - I really couldn't take a breath.
Another corporate war breaks out, this time for the third time, and the method is a network virus war.
In 2016, anonymous cyberterrorists attacked the networks of companies around the world. This incident caused losses worth approximately billions of euros, and the global economy once again faced a shutdown.
But dangers and opportunities are mutual. Several super-large countries and several super-large enterprises suffered less losses than others in this wave of virus attacks, so the survivors suffered the fruits of the legacy.
Of course, these surviving countries include Bald Eagle, and several surviving super-large corporations also include Metal Gear.
The surviving Arasaka was a blessing in disguise and obtained a large amount of rare mineral deposits from a training base in South America. Although he had to deal with other African warlords, it was still a good thing overall.
NASA, which received the benefits, even further launched another Mars exploration mission, and then two years later, the second joint European Space Agency and Soviet Union Mars mission set sail.
Xia Guo also felt the pressure, but after Xie Yuan made a thorough investigation of the information about Gear Valley, he quickly calmed down and implemented his original plan step by step.
Of course, from that day on, there were more than a dozen Asian-faced people wearing heavy protective clothing newly developed by Metal Gear in Gear Valley.
NASA's spacecraft reached the orbit of Mars in 2019, but their display radar did not show the shadow of the Zeta starship - which means that the technology of the Zetas is at least half a century ahead of the Earth!
However, even if they conduct scientific research on Mars, they cannot stop the Bald Eagle's desire for war, and the third Central American conflict has arisen again - in fact, they probably want to use foreign wars to control consumption costs.
At the same time, Xia Guo's "Zhurong" Mars pioneer exploration team, with Xie Yuan's free technical assistance, also set sail 20 years in advance without any news.
Even in the second year of Zhuronghao's departure, there was no too enthusiastic response - because now in 2021, the even more massive fourth global corporate war has broken out.
The European marine company CINO intends to annex the bankrupt marine company IHAG, while another rival marine company OTEC attempts to play the role of a "white knight" in this hostile takeover.
Since both sides have a large number of allies, a dangerous maritime war breaks out - Arasaka Security Company and Military Technology Company compete to determine who will dominate the outcome of the war between CINO and OTEC.
In the course of the struggle, the scale of the secret operations gradually grew, and eventually escalated into a hot war between Arasaka Corporation and Military Technology Corporation. Immediately afterwards, this conflict involved companies around the world, and fierce battles spread across major cities around the world.
In this war, although Xie Yuan and Jun Ke were on the same front, the Metal Gear Building and Arasaka Tower were too close!
The two were almost facing each other across the river, and Xie Yuan began to communicate with both sides, exchanging huge sums of money and a large amount of technology in exchange for the power not to help each other and not to intervene in the war.
The three parties finally agreed to a verbal agreement: as long as Metal Gear does not end up and has no tendency, Arasaka and Junke cannot target Metal Gear's goods or vehicles, or even individuals.
The signing of this temporary agreement allows Xie Yuan to run the Gear Valley on Mars with peace of mind - in fact, he is not afraid of war, but he does have to focus more on the earth during the war, which goes against his plan.
But Xie Yuan's personal energy still has to be focused on the earth, because the war has become increasingly unlimited, and even the global economy has been involved.
In this war, a silly paranoid hacker was killed in a data flow attack after his brain was burned out - but his counterattack before his death indirectly killed the whole world.
This cyberwalker, whose online name is Rache Bartmoss, is a rebellious saboteur. Because of his dissatisfaction with the monopoly of all social resources by large companies, he created a terrorist virus tailored for highly developed networks - a virus called DataKrash.
Relying on a complex system similar to the Cold War-era "Dead Hand," Bartmos automatically released the deadliest creation he had ever placed on the network two weeks after his death was confirmed due to a delay in the delivery of the code in time.
At this moment, the three-dimensional network around the world collapsed.
His most advanced virus programs, Devil, Cerberus, and RABIDS, were released. According to the offensive programs he wrote, they instantly destroyed the system, corroded and released the out-of-control AI, and continued to tear at the nerves of most Netrunners.
The data fortress was destroyed by self-aware viruses and fell apart. Some of these data were permanently lost, some were randomly destroyed, tampered with, and some were even completely corroded. By the time emergency protocols from governments and giant corporations kicked in, the virus's devastation had stalled and the old network was gone forever.
In just a few months, the data-crushing virus infected 78.2% of the original cyberspace. The social unrest and property losses caused by the "big disconnection" are simply countless.
But the war still cannot be subsided, and it is getting more and more intense - this even gives some lunar orbital colonies in the sky an opportunity to become independent.
Because they were "tired" of this endless corporate war, the Sky Knights (Highriders) located in the O'Neill 2 space colony (O'Neill 2) declared independence.
Over the course of seven hours, they used deltas and abandoned mass launchers to drop massive amounts of moon rocks at key locations across the planet, causing massive casualties and destruction.
The United States and Japan were the first to officially recognize the new Sky Knights government - hence the incident known as the Seven-Hour War.
But even so... the war continues.
Container ship and plane transportation methods were completely suspended. Many megacorporations collapsed as docks around the world piled up with supplies and food that couldn't reach stores, factories or suppliers.
Only the land, sea and air routes in East Asia, South Asia, North Asia, Europe and the Pacific are temporarily accessible - this is also due to the Xia Kingdom.
But in other places, especially in Africa and throughout the Americas, the two sides were fighting until the sky was dark and it was difficult to separate.
They even began to try their best to win over Xie Yuan, and promised to divide the other party's assets as a reward, and were even willing to invest any price - of course, there were also threats that if Xie Yuan did not die, it would turn into a joint strangulation between the two parties.
Xie Yuan's response was clear - if the two sides don't help each other, they won't end up fighting.
However, there was one person, a relative of Xie Yuan in this world, who stabbed him hard in the back.
Johnny Silverhand buried a small nuclear bomb in his Gear Building!
