Chapter 490 Schiller's New Industry (Part 1)

In the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, in the Corps Commander's office, Tyrone and Schiller shook hands.

Tyrone learned from Hal that shaking hands is a courtesy on Earth. His willingness to take the initiative to take this action means that he believes in Hal's judgment and believes that Schiller is indeed capable of helping them break through the current predicament.

Schiller made a "please" gesture. Tyrone and Hal sat on both sides of the table, while Schiller sat in front of the table.

Hal turned to Schiller and said: "I have told you before, now, the situation we are facing is very serious. On the one hand, the green light energy is running out, and many subordinate sectors are beginning to make dissatisfied voices. On the other hand, The Guardians of the Universe want to create a Green Lantern Military Police to restrain the Green Lantern Corps."

Hearing that Hal didn't mention taking kickbacks, Tyrone cleared his throat and said with a serious expression: "Yes, I heard from Hal that you are more experienced in handling this kind of incident..."

Schiller lowered his head and smiled, and said: "I believe that there are many capable people in the Green Lantern Corps. It doesn't have to be me. It's just that things change at any time. There are too few people who can be used now. My suggestions are just to attract others. Everyone Just give it a listen..."

"Okay, no need to be polite." Hal interrupted Schiller's civil servant style rhetoric and said: "There is no surveillance in this room. We are all grasshoppers on a rope now. How on earth are we going to break the situation now?"

Schiller glanced at Hal with a look that said "Didn't you tell me earlier?"

He immediately suppressed his fake smile, then took out two documents and handed them to Tyrone and Hal respectively.

Tai Lung squinted his eyes and looked at the big words on the cover of the document. He said, "Army expansion plan? What do you mean?"

"That's the literal meaning." Schiller put his hands on the table and said, "To expand the army is to expand the army."

Tai Lung looked at the plan and felt very confused. He said: "Expand the army? However, the energy is not enough now. If we recruit more people, wouldn't it be even less?"

"Moreover, they formed the gendarmerie because they are afraid of us. At this time, if we propose to expand the military, won't it irritate them?"

Hal also looked at Schiller and asked: "At this time, the fewer people there should be, the better?"

"Yes, but expanding the army does not mean to expand more soldiers, but to expand the organization."

Tai Lung was thoughtful. Obviously, he had been exposed to this field of work and had already thought of something. Then, he saw Schiller flipping through the information in his hand and saying:

"As far as I know, so far, the universe has been divided into 3,600 sectors. According to the rules, there should be one lantern per sector, but in fact it is not like this..."

Tyrone sighed. He thought Schiller was still struggling with the problem Hal was struggling with. He explained:

"I think you should understand that the system of one lantern per sector is completely just an idea. If we assign one lantern to one sector, or even one lantern furnace to ten sectors, we will still need 360 lantern furnaces. …”

"Not to mention the cost of manufacturing these lamps and stoves, just the route they take to and from the headquarters to replenish energy cannot be arranged at all..."

"Moreover, if the Lantern of a sector unfortunately dies, and the sector where he is located cannot elect another Lantern immediately, then the Lantern of the next sector will definitely be needed to take over."

"Then what should we do to take care of the original sectors of the Lanterns? If hundreds of Lanterns are unable to participate in the work at the same time, who will take care of these areas? If one Lantern is not enough to deal with certain problems in the sector, it is necessary to If people help, what about the security work in the sector maintained by the lanterns who go to help? "

"This method simply doesn't work. Therefore, what the lantern group now adopts is a regional responsibility system, with about 100 sectors as a large area, setting up permanent teams, and then using about 20 sectors as a small area. , set up a divisional patrol team..."

Schiller nodded and said: "Yes, this method is more scientific. Although it is still a little crude, it is still barely operational. The problem I want to point out is the problem of the Green Lantern Corps' logistics support system."

"At least, in my hometown of Earth, logistics is the top priority, but..." Schiller looked down at the information with some hesitation, frowned and said: "I didn't see the logistics organization in the Green Lantern Corps' organization, you guys What about the logistical issues?”

"Logistics? What do you mean? Paperwork?"

"More than that, hardware facility maintenance, intelligence collection, medical care, exploration monitoring, etc., aren't these all included?"

Tai Lung spread his hands and said: "I know that on Earth, the army may have these personnel, and it is the same on my planet, but that is only because we are relatively backward surface creatures."

"Actually, the energy of the green light is very powerful. The lamp furnace will not be damaged or consumed. The only engineers at the headquarters are mostly just maintaining the equipment around the lamp furnace."

"In the Green Lantern Ring, there is the Galactic Encyclopedia. All Green Lanterns can upload the information they collect here for everyone to view."

"The green lantern ring has its own healing ability. It can heal the injuries suffered by Green Lanterns anytime and anywhere. At the same time, it also has the scanning function of creatures, terrain, space, environment, etc., and does not require additional exploration and monitoring."

"Green Lantern alone is an army, and a small team is almost worth the military force of an entire civilization..."

To Tyrone's surprise, Schiller did not refute this. He just nodded and said, "Yes, but that was in the past."

Tyrone frowned, and then he heard Schiller say: "I saw in the previous combat report that we almost never won the war against the Yellow Lantern Corps?"

"Including this time in Gotham, I saw with my own eyes that after the energy of the yellow lantern swept across the sky, all the Green Lanterns fell down."

"With all due respect, is this problem big enough to be visible to the naked eye? Doesn't anyone want to investigate what's going on behind this?"

Tai Lung touched his chin and said: "Actually, I was a little confused too, but I didn't say it out loud for fear of shaking the morale of the army. I don't know why, but when we encounter yellow light energy, we feel afraid. That energy will dissolve our green light energy. , causing us to lose all our capabilities.”

"You see, the green light ring is not omnipotent. It does not give the answer to this question. We have to investigate all this ourselves."

Schiller changed the question again and said: "Do you think, for the Guardians of the Universe, is the threat from the Green Lantern itself more important, or the threat from the Yellow Lantern Corps?"

Talon hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course it's the Yellow Lantern. Although I don't know why Sinestro betrayed the Legion, he seems to hate the Guardians of the Universe very much. If the Yellow Lantern Legion becomes bigger, even if the Guardians of the Universe are very strong, , may also be dangerous.”

"So, are there any problems with our military expansion?"

Tyrone paused for a moment, and he realized that what Schiller said made sense. If the threat of the Yellow Lantern Corps was used as the reason for expanding the army, it would be justified.

Schiller added: "Besides, I have already said that we are not expanding combat troops, only expanding the number of logistics support personnel."

Schiller took out a pen, knocked on the table, looked down at the information, and said:

"First of all, in order to deal with the problem of yellow light energy restraining green light energy, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the lamp furnaces in 3,600 sectors. On average, one lamp furnace needs to be equipped with three engineers and one supervisor, and the overall lamp furnace is not as important as It goes without saying that we need an entire engineering department with 300 engineers..."

"Considering that the Green Lanterns are at different levels of civilization and have received different educations, and there is no way to directly take up their posts, we also need a training base and its supporting facilities and personnel..."

"In addition, we need to figure out why the yellow light energy dissolves the green light energy. Therefore, we need a whole team of experts to study this matter, and the expert team cannot conduct research in a vacuum, so we need a research institute. In order to prevent The possibility has been missed, and about 20 research groups have to be established at the same time..."

"In order to maximize research results, we can link up higher education institutions in various civilizations to accept graduate internships, provide school buildings, dormitories, laboratories, and supporting related facilities and personnel..."

"At the same time, the threat posed by Sinestro who is still roaming in the universe cannot be underestimated. We need professional agents to investigate the movements of the members of the Yellow Lantern Corps..."

"Wait!" Hal suddenly interrupted him. He said: "Monitoring the movements of the Yellow Lantern Corps can be done by an ordinary Green Lantern. Even if it requires some agent skills, wouldn't it be enough to undergo training?"

Schiller shook his head and looked at it, and said to Hal: "Why do you think the FBI and CIA should be divided into two agencies?"

"Mutual supervision, mutual checks and balances, to prevent monopolization of power." Hal said while falling into thinking.

Schiller said: "Now, all ordinary Green Lanterns are equivalent to the FBI. They have internal law enforcement powers, such as regulating interstellar disputes, combating space pirates, arresting wanted criminals, etc..."

"The newly established special agent organization is equivalent to the Central Intelligence Agency. It has no law enforcement power within the scope of interstellar civilization. It only targets the external enemies of the Green Lantern Corps. At the same time, it also plays a role in supervising and warning the Green Lanterns within the management."

Seeing Tai Lung's sudden change of expression, Schiller said: "Yes, this is actually the gendarmerie, but we build it first."

Tai Lung opened his mouth and then said: "You mean, we can actually build an organization to supervise us first? However, if this organization is not under their control, they will not trust him."

"We don't need the Guardians of the Universe to trust this special agent organization. When we establish this organization, it will have the same powers as the Military Police."

"At this time, if the Guardians of the Universe propose to establish a gendarmerie again, then the most urgent thing is not us, but this organization, because once the powers overlap, their rights will be weakened."

"So, I propose that Hal take the lead in establishing a special agent organization and give him the greatest power to select the best from all the Green Lanterns and select the most capable soldiers to go out independently and become the ones responsible for combating the Yellow Lanterns externally and monitoring internally. An elite force."

Tai Long touched his chin and said: "I understand what you are saying. Let's first establish an organization whose powers include internal supervision. If they want to establish such an organization again, conflicts will definitely arise after their powers overlap. In this way , the firepower was diverted.”

"But why Hal?" Tyrone asked with some confusion: "He is your compatriot, aren't you worried about the Guardian of the Universe targeting him?"

Schiller glanced at Hal and said: "Captain Tyrone, what do you think is the relationship between the Guardians of the Universe and the energy of the green light? Do the Guardians create the emotional spectrum?"

When asked about this issue, Tai Lung hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We say to the outside world that the entire Green Lantern Corps was created by the Guardians of the Universe, but in fact, from the information I have access to, the emotional spectrum should be a natural birth in the universe. A kind of thing, the guardians just built lamp furnaces and rings to use this energy. "

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

As he said that, he and Schiller looked at Hal, and then said: "Wait a minute, you don't need a ring to communicate with the green light energy. In fact, you don't have to be afraid of the Guardian of the Universe at all..."

"That's right." Schiller nodded and said: "The green light beast Ion Shark was also born naturally. It represents the willpower in the universe. Now, the Ion Shark has chosen Hal, which means that Hal It is closer to the nature of the Green Lantern than the Guardians of the Universe, and there is no need to be afraid of the Guardians.”

"Because of this, as long as he brings out a team and takes over the functions of the Military Police first, then if the Guardians of the Universe want to build a Military Police, they have to consider whether the Military Police they have built can withstand the competition. Ion Man and his team."

"At the same time, we also occupy the great righteousness. The Guardian of the Universe establishes a military police force, which will inevitably lead to the suspicion of eliminating dissidents. And if we propose to establish a supervisory organization ourselves, doesn't it show that we are upright and upright?"

Tyrone and Hal looked at each other, and then turned to look at Schiller. Feeling that the atmosphere had become quiet, Schiller looked up and found that the green light in Tyrone and Hal's eyes was not an illusion.

"Okay, the superficial work is done, now let's talk about the reality." Schiller changed the topic again.

"God's Coming"

Tyrone stood up and wanted to leave, but ended up sitting down again. He looked at Schiller with some confusion and asked: "Realistic? What practical?"

"Hal, didn't you tell me that you and the legion commander have reached an agreement?" Schiller looked at Hal and asked. Hal gave Tai Lung a look, and then Tai Lung realized that this was about a kickback.

A green crystal suddenly appeared in Schiller's hand. After he placed the crystal on the table, Tyrone and Hal's eyes fell on the crystal. Tyrone was very familiar with the energy in the crystal. He said: "This Inside is the green light energy..."

"That's right, and there's no safety lock."

Tai Lung reached out his hand dubiously. The moment he touched the crystal, his eyes widened because he discovered that the green light energy inside could indeed be extracted freely.

"This..." Tai Lung felt it for a moment, then glanced at Hal and said, "Is this what you said is a way for ordinary people to use the energy of the green light?"

"That's right." Hal nodded.

"So, you want to expand the Green Lantern Corps to extract more energy from the main furnace, and then pour the energy into these crystals, and then...then...let us take it away?" Tyrone said this I'm still a little uncomfortable talking.

"The first half is right. As long as there are enough names, we can use the energy in the main furnace as much as possible." Schiller explained.

In fact, even if these terms are not needed, Schiller, who has colluded with the legion commander, can directly drain the energy from the main furnace. However, considering the need for sustainable fishing, it is more convenient to establish a complete system of empty pay.

"The first half is right, so what's wrong with the second half?" Hal also asked.

"If these crystals were given to you directly, what would you do with them?" Schiller looked at Hal and asked.

"Well, for the development of earth civilization, I will hand them over to scientists for research. Maybe they can be used as a new energy source?"

"This choice cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said that it is not very efficient." Schiller said tactfully: "Judging from the current level of human technological development, it will probably take a period of research to utilize this energy. , and if you want to crack the secret of this energy, I'm afraid..."

"Moreover, have you ever considered that research actually doesn't use much energy. The energy stored in this crystal is enough for all human scientists to study for several years."

"That's the case..." Hal touched his chin and thought. Schiller was right. Even though this crystal was small, there were 10 rings in it that were full of energy, which was enough to fight a local cosmic war. Judging from Schiller's plan, they are not just greedy for a piece of money, they have to start at least four figures, and they come often.

"If this is the case, it seems that we really need to consider how to use so much green light energy in a more cost-effective way."

"I heard that many interstellar civilizations are very interested in the identity and energy of Green Lantern?" Schiller looked at Tyrone and asked.

"Yes, after all, you know how powerful this energy is, and the Green Lantern Corps has always had a good reputation. Being able to become a Green Lantern is a very honorable thing in the eyes of many civilizations."

"But, it's actually hard to get into the Green Lantern Corps, right?"

Tai Lung nodded again and said: "There is a threshold for using the green light ring. If your willpower is not strong enough, it will be useless even if you are outstanding in other aspects."

Schiller picked up the green crystal on the table again, looked at it and said, "But there is no threshold for using this thing."

Tyrone's eyes gradually widened. He looked at Schiller and said in shock: "You don't want to resell the green light energy, do you?"

"No!" Tyrone denied it. He said, "This is too dangerous. If someone with ulterior motives gets this thing, it will cause an interstellar war!"

"Then why don't we just not let people with ulterior motives get it?"

"But there is no safety lock on it. Anyone can use it. What if it is resold?"

"There is no safety lock on it now, but it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. You are the leader of the Green Lantern Corps and the future director of the CIA of the Green Lantern Corps. You can't even get the technology of the safety lock, right?"

Tyrone and Hal looked at each other. Hal said, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us about the specific plan."

"In fact, we are doing the same thing as the Guardians of the Universe. The green light energy was originally a gift from nature, but they built a lamp furnace and made a ring to transfer the energy. After the amount was intercepted, the Green Lantern Corps was established and the Green Lantern Corps was used by them. "

"If the Green Lanterns want to use the green light energy, they must wear a ring and return to the lantern furnace to recharge, and they must use it under the restriction of the safety lock."

"Then we can do the same. Find something, add a safety lock to it, inject the green light energy into it, and sell it to civilizations in the interstellar that are interested in it."

"We can use the safety lock to limit the objects that use this crystal. At the same time, we can sign an agreement with them. The crystal is only temporarily lent to them. After the energy inside is consumed, it must be renewed before it can be recharged again."

"The payment method is monthly or annual. There will be a monthly fixed fee every month. Regardless of whether it is used or not, it will be deducted. If you don't pay, the safety lock will be locked. "

"In addition to the monthly rent, There is also a package fee, which provides a certain amount of green light energy every month, which is included in the package. If you want to continue using it after it is used up, you must deduct money according to the amount or purchase an additional package. "

"The package also includes certain benefits, such as the security service or transmission service of the Green Lantern Corps, etc. Of course, if you want to experience more advanced benefits, you must upgrade the package, increase the monthly fee, and provide 120 levels of membership..."

"The most important thing is that the crystal will have an independent code, which will be linked to the credit rating of the civilization in the Green Lantern Corps. Once the green light energy in the crystal they control is out of control, the credit rating will drop. If the arrears are not paid or the subscription is not renewed for too long, the credit rating will also drop. "

"After that, we can use this to develop a third-party credit platform in the universe, and bring all civilizations that use green light energy into the Green Lantern Corps. The credit reporting system, the blacklist of dishonest people will lose the protection of the interstellar society..."

"The Green Lantern Corps is good, but I still prefer the Green Lantern industry. Now is the time to set industry standards, why not?"

Tyrone and Hal looked at Schiller together. They saw that Schiller was no longer smiling, and his eyes were full of ridicule. They heard Schiller say:

"The Guardians of the Universe control such a powerful energy, but they only created a Green Lantern Corps. I have to say that they are still quite peace-loving."

The two did not hear any praise in Schiller's tone. Just as Tyrone was about to speak, Schiller continued:

"But there is no need to feel sympathy for them. They don't do this not because they really want to do something for the universe, but because they are too greedy and want both profit and fame. "

"The good reputation of the Green Lantern Corps is just a prelude. They will tighten the noose step by step until the corps they have created becomes a machine that only obeys their orders. The Military Police is just the first step..."

"And we just want to tell them..." Schiller showed a smile that made Tyrone and Hal feel a little cold on their backs.

"You cooked the duck well, and now it's mine."

Before Tyrone and Hal could comment on the plan, Schiller put the crystal in the middle of the table again, and then said:

"Of course, this is only a long-term plan. It may take hundreds of years to fully realize it, but neither your civilization nor my civilization can wait that long."

"We urgently need a qualitative leap, and studying this thing is not the best way."

"What are you going to do?" Tyrone asked.

"Now that this thing is here, if you are the leader of an interstellar civilization, would you be interested in it? ”

Tyrone was very confident about this issue. He said, "If you take this thing out, it will really cause a war. I'm not kidding. There are too many people in the universe who covet the green light energy. No civilization would not want this powerful and convenient power."

"Okay, now we have encountered some difficulties in the research of this technology. Of course, the specific difficulties depend on what technology the earth and your civilization need. Are you willing to make some reasonable investments in this?"

Hal stared at Schiller with wide eyes and asked, "Cheating investment? ? Isn't this bad? !"

"What is cheating! What is cheating!" Schiller retorted loudly, "Isn't the real thing in front of you now? We have even completed most of the development independently, and only the last little bit is missing..."

"We are in such a difficult environment, going upstream and striving for innovation. If it weren't for the urgent funds, how could we take out such a precious opportunity to benefit the public? "

Hal had already shut up, because Schiller's tone reminded him of some industries on Earth that were not easy to talk about, but Tyrone was amazed by this idea. He said:

"That's right, we don't even need to inject so much energy into it, just put a little bit in and let them feel it. As long as they find out that there is such technology, they will definitely find ways to get it..."

"And we have the Green Lantern Corps behind us, they definitely don't dare to rob us openly." Schiller smiled, looked at Hal and said:

"Now, it's time for our powerful Ion Man to take action again."
