For Xie Yuan, it is better to cooperate with his rivals and help them tide over difficulties than to feed his suspicious allies.
In this incident, although Johnny was the one who did it, it was military technology that really caused the trouble - they even persuaded some people who were supposed to be loyal to Metal Gear to promote this matter.
These people are traitors, but these traitors cannot be dealt with now, because any drastic action will cause Metal Gear to fall into civil war - and the originally strong Metal Gear will be completely destroyed.
Therefore, after anticipating this trend, Stike II and Iron Man did not hesitate to dismantle each metal gear in order to obtain a pure metal gear organization.
Fortunately, with the prestige of successfully establishing a permanent base on Mars, Junke, the Far East and strategic partner who had always been a close comrade-in-arms, was afraid of the rapid development of Metal Gear and jointly proposed to let it give up the huge industry on the earth.
After several communications, and after trying his best to resist hard and soft policies, Xie Yuan finally got the result that except for the surrounding industries of Night City, all other areas were allocated to relevant countries.
Is it a loss? It was a loss, but Xie Yuan was also able to transcend the political circle of the earth and accumulate strength on Mars, where the political ecology is still in a blue ocean state.
And the parts that were split off may not necessarily have no place to be used - these are all connections that can be contacted. Distributing these old parts that are usually treated well to both sides of the Pacific also invisibly increases the number of internal connections in the two countries. Influence.
As for Arasaka, he is indeed Xie Yuan's career rival, but saving Arasaka at this moment will allow Jun Ke to keep his eyes on Arasaka instead of the newly founded Gear 30K.
And Saburo Arasaka is also a very courageous tycoon - after realizing that he could only retreat to Japan in a short period of time, he immediately turned around and mortgaged some inconspicuous overseas assets to Gear 30K to allow him to spend his time. A dangerous period of growth.
In the future, Gear 30K and Arasaka may not become life-and-death enemies again, but now the two former rivals are willing to work together for their own healthy growth.
As for Xie Yuan himself, after staying with his mother-in-law with Rogge until 2026, he set off again, riding the prepared Zeta mothership to the 30K universe.
Now, Xie Yuan has equipped the entire ship with a thousand-man regiment. Together with other MEC robots and heavy equipment, the entire ship has basically been filled.
Partly according to the memory modules provided by the production center, they are roughly divided into occupations such as navigators, operators and production workers. They will be permanently stationed on the mothership to manage and operate the mothership. There are about 800 people, almost full. Made up.
The other part, according to the military organization, spawned the unique combat professions of mutants: ordinary soldiers, officers, assault soldiers, shield guards, purifiers and priests.
The number of infantry personnel in this part is roughly equivalent to about 150 people in a reinforced company, 10 officer mutants, and other soldiers at all levels distributed in three platoons with 40 people each.
At the same time, Xie Yuan will equip them with 10 times their number of white and red MEC robots, 15 long-legged mechas at a ratio of 1:10, and 5 large-caliber accelerator cannons.
In addition to heavy weapons, there are also vehicles to match this combat company. For this reason, Xie Yuan even quietly launched a large purchase in Omega: 14 Tomkah infantry fighting vehicles, 10 UT-47 Kodiak transport landing aircraft , six A-61 "Mantis" gunboats, 10 transport vehicles and 10 personnel carriers.
Speaking of purchasing these large quantities of land vehicles, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered an interesting thing. He didn't expect that every time he transported something out of Omega, he would be bombarded - but the recent shuttle was targeted by a huge and strange warship. , also considered the first time.
That was already 2 years ago...
…
At that time, in order to prepare to land Encaradine's heavy-duty vehicles, Xie Yuan had to return to Omega once more and find a black market intermediary to purchase batches of vehicles again.
That is to say, only on a careless planet like Omega can we do this: we have everything, and we dare to sell everything. Otherwise, the relevant departments would have been sent out for questioning on such a large arms purchase.
But even so, Xie Yuan still needs to use his ghost authority to cover up the matter. Unfortunately, it can't stop the fire, and the local Asari gang leader Elia T'Lock seems to have a close relationship with the Citadel Council. .
At first, Xie Yuan thought that Elia T'Lock, an Asari woman, was familiar with the upper echelons of the Asari government, but he did not expect that she also had a high status in the Citadel Council - at least the ghost's secretive nature was not a concern for her. Words are worth mentioning.
Xie Yuan here had just arranged to block the news, and Queen Omega quickly confirmed that Xie Yuan was on Omega.
However, after learning that it was the new ghost Xie Yuan who was buying these unmarked devices and that they were not targeting her, Elia did not stop her - she just hoped that Xie Yuan would inform her next time he came to her territory. ——Out of respect.
But Xie Yuan knew very well that once his traces were learned by information dealers in the universe, they would definitely be known by other powers.
So as expected, Xie Yuan received Ambassador Udina from the Citadel—at this time, Congressman Anderson’s assistant, as well as the Director General of Pan Asia, Admiral Hackett of the Fifth Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy, and even Miranda Rosen from Cerberus asked with concern. She wanted to know why Xie Yuan ordered so much unmarked land equipment.
In particular, it was known that Xie Yuan did not have a dedicated ghost ship on hand, so he had to use all his strength to deal with it - but he revealed some other information to the director-general.
For example, several border human colonies may be in danger now, and some malicious villains seem to have an unknown plan to kidnap these residents to do some ulterior motives.
Xie Yuan's idea was to pursue the authenticity of this information and at the same time send some equipment to some remote colonies to arm them.
This reason is actually quite lame - because there are so many remote human colonies, it would be an astronomical amount to assist them one by one, and this little equipment is just a drop in the bucket.
But the Director-General didn't care anymore, because if Xie Yuan's intelligence was true - it would be a major humanitarian disaster.
However, when he received another contact from Shepard, Xie Yuan still had an inexplicable sense of concept - time passed by, and it was clear that the last time he stayed on the Normandy was only a few months, but he suddenly felt that there was a difference after several years. It feels like I'm going to say goodbye to this ship soon.
Putting aside the strange feelings, Xie Yuan still struck up a conversation with Shepard.
"Hey! I heard that you are buying unmarked land equipment on a large scale. Don't tell me that you are planning to fight a proxy war in a certain galaxy, right?"
As soon as they met, Shepard teased, "You know that is against the rules of the Citadel. As a senior, I have to remind you."
"Screw you, you are only a year ahead of me when you become a ghost. Why are you showing off like a senior?!" Xie Yuan shouted back angrily.
"I'm a senior who's one year ahead of you. No kidding," Shepard joked for a while before returning to his serious tone. "Is it true? There is an unknown organization preparing to kidnap human residents of remote colonies?"
"Huh?!" Xie Yuan felt something was wrong when he heard this, "Who told you?"
"Pan Asia issued a warning to the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance sent the warning to the Citadel. The Citadel called back to the Star Alliance because of insufficient information, so the Star Alliance secretly sent it to me."
Shepard directly recited the entire process, and then said: "I originally wanted to ask Pan Asia back, but then I thought about it. The intelligence capabilities of Pan Asia and Star Alliance are equally matched, and each has its own strengths. It's impossible. Pan Asia will have mastered major security information in advance that has not been discovered by the Star Alliance - and then I thought about you, who has made a big joke at the top these days... maybe there is a reason for your weird behavior."
"My intuition is quite keen!" Xie Yuan did not admit it but did not deny it.
"Who is that?" Shepard asked very seriously, "You should have very detailed intelligence suspicions, right?"
"No need to doubt, I am secretly looking for a force called "Collectors" through them." Xie Yuan said a reason that even made him blush... Fortunately, he is thick-skinned, and the shame in his heart does not mean the shame in his appearance.
"Collectors?! I rarely hear this name..." Shepard pondered for a while. After he couldn't find any information about this race, he decided to ask Xie Yuan, "Who are they? Why are they targeting us?"
"The Collectors are a very mysterious existence. They live near the World God Galaxy, on the other side of the Omega 4 repeater, which is not far from the asteroid Omega." The reporter's information told him, "A very typical mercenary army, which not only accepts combat missions, but also likes to use some high-tech products to do business - the technological level is quite high, but it does not like to have in-depth contact with other civilizations."
"Omega 4 Relay... I've heard about this place, and I heard that since it was activated, any ships that have tried to move in have never come back... Wait, so you're on Omega now just to keep an eye on it. Them?" Shepard finally remembered the story of this mass relay, and then showed an expression of surprise and admiration.
"...Yes, but unfortunately, when I came here, they neither came out nor entered the repeater,"
Xie Yuan could only admit this reason with a face on his face, and then gave a disappointing answer.
"Don't be discouraged," Shepard encouraged Xie Yuan at this time, "Waiting will not be in vain. If they really live here, they will always come back..."
"But..." Shepard showed a playful and charming expression, which did not match her female gorilla temperament at all, "How did you know this information?... It doesn't matter if you don't want to say the source, but I don't. See how you could have known this ahead of time... I mean, there's not even word of any attacks on the outlying colonies being received right now."
In view of the fact that Shepard is not a big talker, and she is also a powerful activist against the Reapers, Xie Yuan does not mind telling her the truth - of course a fabricated truth: "I...I got it from an omen. of?"
"Omen?! Haha ()" Shepard was amused, "So you also found a beacon? Where is it? Tell the truth and hand it over to the Citadel - Come on, tell the truth if you want to tell, don't bullshit me. Damn it – I’ll help you again… If there are really enemies, we can work together to defeat them.”
After all, you just don’t believe it? !
But Xie Yuan really couldn't tell the truth - the matter of seizing the Overlord was too terrifying, and whether Shepard believed it or not, he would not end up well.
However, Xie Yuan can really give a sound reason: "Do you remember that time when the Overlord self-destructed? I knocked you down and saved your life. Do you remember it?"
"Although I am very grateful to you for helping me at that time... but you had a... omen?" He knew that Xie Yuan was not trying to repay a favor, but Shepard just didn't believe in the possibility of such nonsense.
"It's not just a simple omen... When the Overlord was detonated, his consciousness was also broken into pieces, and the explosion radiated to various places..."
Xie Yuan was making up while talking: "Other organic life may have been hit, and it will be nauseated for a period of time. The trouble is that some synthetic bodies... will be slightly infected with some residual thoughts, but I can read some information."
"Well...it is true that during that time, many people felt uncomfortable or even fainted while cleaning the scene, but they all recovered inexplicably...and the machine did seem to be poisoned...but after the virus was disinfected, everything was fine again...Okay Bar!"
Shepard rubbed his chin as a habit and thought for a moment, and finally gave up the criticism: "So, when the Overlord exploded, you read his conscious thoughts. I knew that your mental power was very strong, but I didn't expect that. Being so strong...don't you consider becoming a superpower?"
"There's no need... My powers won't make me stronger, but will put a lot of restrictions on me."
Xie Yuan refused in his heart as soon as he heard it. No matter how big the implant was, it would create weaknesses for no reason. Then he immediately got to the point: "Anyway, at that moment, I saw a lot of humanoid bugs." Guy, then I saw a huge black skull... It seemed to be a model, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Finally, I saw a star map covered with dense red dots, and then it disappeared."
"Wow! It looks like you really saw something - you should report it quickly!" Seeing such strange content, Shepard finally believed that Xie Yuan was not making it up, and then started thinking, "So... ...The humanoid insect-like guy is the collector, the huge black skull...may be a message to exterminate us, but what about the dense red dots on the star map? Have you compared them later?"
"There are so many red dots that I can't remember them all at the moment..." Xie Yuan shook his head with regret, "But I found that many of the red dots correspond to Star Alliance funding, Pan Asia funding, or even private funding. Well, they are all extremely remote, even deserted, but they are indeed active human colonies."
"That explains a lot... you should have reported it from the beginning," Shepard criticized this behavior very seriously, "instead of still dealing with it alone after a month or two."
"Hey, this is an omen, omen! Do you understand? Reporting this kind of information without actual evidence at will is just smoking!"
Xie Yuan retorted angrily: "Do you think I am you?! If you didn't have a superior, Colonel Anderson, who valued you, you would have destroyed a vital Prothean beacon. What a crime it would be!" Three shots were enough for me!
And, do you think I didn’t report it? From the first moment I received the information, I reported it to the Director-General, but it was not until recently that I had not discovered the collector and noticed that he was indeed suspicious.
After collecting enough evidence, I reported it to the Director General for the second time, and they really took it seriously, and you received the warning - otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take! "
Shepard couldn't help but be speechless.
After a long while, she took a long breath and said gently: "Okay, I am indeed too impatient...how do you want me to help you?"
"Although I do need help...but for many things, you can't do anything until you find traces of the Collector."
Xie Yuan touched the beard stubble on his chin, and after thinking about it, he reminded him: "Even, I hope that you must pay attention to your safety when doing the things given to you by the council, and your hidden dangers are not optimistic - if you collect The attacker is targeting humans... then you are probably a high-value target."
"I have the Normandy, she is almost invisible, you don't even have a specialized ship -" Shepard looked at Xie Yuan opposite him very speechlessly, "I should be the one who should be careful."
"On the contrary, I am safer than you - because no matter what information you hear about my accident, it can be used as a cover... Because as long as there is no body and I don't have a special ship, there is nothing to prove my death."
"But you are different!" Xie Yuan reminded solemnly, "The Normandy almost represents you... Wherever the Normandy is, you will be there, so I remind you that if you accidentally run into some nook and cranny... Qian Don’t trust the stealth system too much and be prepared to be extremely careful.”
"Okay, okay, okay!" Shepard responded impatiently, "I will pay attention to this, so is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will log off -"
"Wait a minute!" Xie Yuan suddenly interrupted Shepard, "Can you go to the hangar later and tell Lex that I want him to help me purchase a pair of excellent Cub Werens, but it requires Temporarily restrict fertility.”
"What do you want a pair of Wei Blades for?" Shepard was confused as he listened to Xie Yuan's bizarre request.
Xie Yuan replied very calmly: "Give it to my godson as his 10th birthday gift."
Weilen is the most interesting omnivorous pet in his home universe, and its adaptability is second only to the sand devil bug - which means it is easy to maintain.
This kind of creature from the homeland of the krogan people, except for the small weakness of too strong breeding ability, is fierce and slippery, and will snarl at anyone it catches - more powerful than wolves and hyenas on the earth, but for those with strong body It should be just right for a small primarch.
This is also the 10th year since Xie Yuan discovered Angron. Little Angron is already 10 years old. As a special day, Xie Yuan wants to give him a special birthday gift.
And nothing is more novel to Xie Yuan than Weiren.
"Are you out of your mind when you step on a horse?!" Shepard suddenly yelled, "Or do you want to kill your godson?! Can Weren be raised by a 10-year-old human child?!
And when did you have a godson? ! "
"I have a relative, and my relative's son recognizes me as his godfather. That's it. Do I have to update my files for everything?!"
Xie Yuan opened his mouth and explained casually, and then said: "Also, my godson is gifted with strength and lacks toys - there is no way I can go to Earth to buy hyenas and wolves, right?!"
"impossible!"
"That's it! How about I ask Lex to buy a pair for me in my own name?! I really can't find good things here in Omega!"
Shepard finally agreed under Xie Yuan's persuasion: "Okay! Remember your words, give it to yourself! If I hear later that a child was bitten to death by a wei blade... hum, If anything happens to you, I will send you to prison. Do you hear me?"
"Hear that!" Xie Yuan was filled with complaints in his heart: "Tama, my son is in another universe, let's see how you can find him!"
After cutting off the communication, Xie Yuanyue got the goods a week later - Lex also said that he had no contact at all after going out... Believe it or not!
But the perfect thing is... Xie Yuan said they were a pair, so he directly brought them over in proportion to the two races! That's a total of six - two males and four females, the male is actually a leader-level Weiren!
"Are you...too enthusiastic?!" Xie Yuan couldn't help but complain - but given that Xie Yuan paid a high price to seek excellent top species, the local Krogan people may have misunderstood.
Fortunately, these Weiren have been used to restrict birth control - they can be removed at any time, but without Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan would have to go through the surgery himself.
These cubs sleeping in biological freezing boxes are of red, black, and even silver species. Next to the box is an obedience chip specially inserted into the brain. At the same time, the delivery person also gave Xie Yuan a very detailed description. War pet breeding information.
Here Xie Yuan guessed the arrogance of the Krogan people: they believed that humans did not have the courage to tame the Weren, and could only use obedience chips to make the ferocious Weren surrender. You must know that they themselves would never be like this - of course maybe It was out of friendliness and fear that Xie Yuan would not be able to defeat Wei Ren.
After all, Xie Yuan is the first human who dares to take the initiative to buy Weiren - last time in the Oriental Pearl Colony, people complained a lot because Weiren built a nest!
After receiving these boxes of Cub Blades, Xie Yuan had bought all the vehicles, weapons and armors, mining machine production equipment, etc., so he directly ordered a second-hand large cargo ship and left Omega. , still head to the asteroid belt first.
Xie Yuan wanted to try again to see if any other ships were causing trouble for him.
But in the end it turned out that there was still something, and it was a surprise - a huge spaceship made of biological tissue wrapped on a steel battleship suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yuan's ship.
Xie Yuan, who had just collected all the cargo, discovered that this strange cruiser seemed to be more than one kilometer away - almost at the super-dreadnought level.
"Collector's ship?!" A word suddenly appeared in Xie Yuan's mind.
But soon "Buzz!!!" The cannon in the center of the giant ship fired directly!
Xie Yuan started the teleportation without hesitation - the cargo ship could not withstand the power of the huge cannon of such warships, and it would be a complete death to wait.
The moment before disappearing, Xie Yuan felt a little regretful: the enemy came too quickly and there was no time to warn Shepard.
I hope Shepard can find this ship later!
This is also Xie Yuan's last journey in the Mass Effect universe before returning again.
