Faulty Utopia

"What weapon? What single weapon could take down three spacecraft carriers? You're bluffing, right?" Sun Jack stared at Tapai's metallic skull.

"The sky-base weapon that came down with us from the sky can do it."

As Tapai told his story, that familiar scene instantly appeared in his mind. "Sky-base weapon?"

"Yes, it wasn't used before because it lacked energy, but its technology surpasses our current level. I've calculated its output power, and its laser cannon can completely destroy an entire spacecraft carrier in one shot."

"Really? Are you sure?" A light flashed in Sun Jack's eyes.

"I'm certain. During the fight with Eve, I recorded all sorts of parameters of the spacecraft carrier; even if the energy shield is fully activated, it couldn't withstand the doomsday weapon of the sky-base weapon."

Hearing this, Sun Jack's heart warmed up; he finally found a breakthrough. Indeed, conventional weapons had no chance against a spacecraft carrier, but what if they were unconventional?

If it was just a raid on the base to seize the sky-base weapon, then they would only have to contend with one spacecraft carrier. If that was the case, it would be much better than going to war with Gaofeng Technology outright!

As long as they had the sky-base weapon in hand, the upcoming confrontation with Gaofeng Technology would be much simpler.

Sun Jack grew more excited the more he thought about it and decided to start planning right away.

"What about Guan Sanke? Everything you have right now is live-streaming on the Holy Grail; as soon as Tapai opens his mouth, he'll know about it," the digital personality reminded.

"It's fine, I want him to know. This is an overt plot. He knows, and so naturally, do the Holy Grail People watching Revolution Sun Jack. Doesn't he claim he never interferes with the direction of the drama?"

"If he were to inform Gaofeng Technology of my plan in front of the Holy Grail People, then he can forget about the show's reputation."

"Between the sky-base weapon and Revolutionary Sun Jieke's real-life reputation, he can only choose one! Whichever he chooses, I can accept."

Then Tapai, who was beside him, spoke up, "I have just calculated, if we go by the previous security, our chances of success are roughly 57%."

"Let's do it! If the success rate were 100%, it wouldn't be our turn," Sun Jack immediately stood up.

"Do it? Do what?" Abu, who had just arrived, and her brother were utterly confused.

"Didn't you want to offer timely help? Here's your chance! If you really can be of assistance this time, I can give you an additional 2% of the company's shares!"

The timing of the action was very important. Sun Jack ultimately chose to strike when Gaofeng Technology was attacking Sharp Flash Technology and attempting to seize the sky-base weapon, as their defenses would be weakest then.

Moreover, at that time, Gaofeng Technology's corporate troops would be busy attacking Sharp Flash, unable to spare forces to defend.

Once the plan was set, they proceeded to execute it. With Sun Jack's order, the entire company began operating swiftly, all mercenaries ceased their contracts, and combat readiness was escalated to level one.

Sharp Flash and Weike Medical personnel also quickly prepared their combat units; everything was aimed at getting ready for the do-or-die struggle ahead.

In face of the upcoming battle, all of Sun Jack's clones continually ran simulations, formulating various plans for the activity.

Time passed minute by minute, and as the moment drew near, the atmosphere in Metropolis grew increasingly tense.

This was the final showdown of the corporate war caused by the financial crisis, as if sensing something, all media and major live streamers had taken their prime spots, waiting for the drama to unfold.

But what everyone failed to notice in the suburbs, fully armed Sun Jacks had once again arrived outside that base.

"Don't worry with me here, there won't be any problems!" Steelheart, armed to the teeth, was rapidly performing a self-check on all his prosthetic body parts.

Sun Jack gave him a glance. Steelheart's previous strength was decent, but in the upcoming scale of battle, it would likely be insufficient. "Stand back when the fighting starts, if you die, I dread having to explain it to your brother."

"Fuck! Who do you think you are looking down on?!" Steelheart's face exploded with anger in an instant.

"I'm just being realistic. Tapai, send him the recording we commissioned earlier, let him know what we're up against next!"

When Steelheart saw that Sun Jack had only been able to escape death last time using the Brain Escape Technique, he stopped boasting.

Seeing in Old Six's live stream a spacecraft carrier descending from the sky, heading towards Sharp Flash's headquarters, Sun Jack immediately ordered to act.

Mercenaries who were mockingly heading to reinforce on Shendong Street swiftly changed direction, quickly approaching Sun Jack's side.

Seeing that AA's gigantic combat machinery had arrived, Sun Jack knew the secrecy was no longer an option, and every second counted. "Attack!"

As per the previous plan, a fraction of the mercenaries approached the base from various points, triggering the base's security alarm.

As the security forces began to assemble at the entrance, Sun Jack, clad in a combat mech, charged towards the rear with Steelheart at high speed.

As flames suddenly burst from the jets on Sun Jack's back and he leaped over the wall using mimetic camouflage, the guards inside were unresponsive up until three data cables from the back of Sun Jack's head plunged into their brains, substituting their personalities with his, and he sprinted forward.

"Tapai! Collect the data!" Sun Jack ordered as he sent all the guards' memories directly to Tapai's system.

As Tapai swiftly searched, all useful information from the security memories was extracted and shared with everyone.

With the help of Sun Jack's personality in the security, everyone kept rushing in amidst the chaos, making it to the edge of the signal-isolated zone without much of a fight.

"Some combat units have been redeployed from here," Tapai stated the reason.

"AA," as Sun Jack looked up abruptly, a 2-meter radius laser beam shot at them, boring a hole through the so-called underground isolation zone.

The constant buzzing noise rose as several small drones with trailing images flew swiftly down the hole, sharing everything they saw with everyone.

The moment Sun Jack caught sight of the sky-base weapon, accompanied by static noise, the drone signals were lost. "Watch out! There's an ambush inside! Plan B!"

AA controlling the massive arms of the combat spider, quickly extended them, sending several biochemical bombs, the first neutron bullet, and EMP all scrambling down the tunnel.

Before the heat wave from the explosion in the tunnel had subsided, Sun Jack followed with a new wave of drones rushing in through the opening.

No sooner had he entered, than an artillery shell exploded right in Sun Jack's face, which would have certainly shredded his body if not for the top-tier mecha provided by Sharp Flash that he was wearing.
