Times have indeed changed. Although the European Community has been trying to block other mega-corporations from developing in space,
the Moon is so vast that even Arasaka Corporation has been able to establish its own mass drivers there.
So, how could Militech, as an old rival—and an even more powerful one—not possess the same capabilities?
It's important to note that not everyone possesses the ability of the Mechanicus, which can establish a Sky-Hovering Relay through nanomachines to achieve global monitoring.
Therefore, for Militech, hiding a few mass drivers on the Moon is a piece of cake, an effortless task.
On the contrary, New America received assistance from the Mechanicus's Sky-Hovering Relay, enabling it to conduct absolute global monitoring and positioning, and beginning to possess absolute global strike capabilities.
This was actually the point that most terrified the European Space Agency.
The Mechanicus possesses absolute monitoring capabilities over all forces globally,
while Militech possesses powerful global land, sea, air, and space integrated missile strike capabilities.
When the two combined, they formed a strategic missile delivery capability that comprehensively covered the entire globe.
This control over the planet's interior has far surpassed that of the European Space Agency.
New America can even easily locate and destroy mass drivers on the Moon.
Therefore, New America no longer fears the European Community's space threats.
As long as space threats are eliminated and real combat ensues, New America will no longer fear the European Community.
After all, Arasaka and Militech currently control the world's most powerful land, sea, and air equipment and armies.
Aside from Arasaka, no one can defeat Militech on a frontal battlefield.
However, although the European Community chose to back down this time, temporarily resolving the crisis, the conflict between the two sides has not been eliminated.
Everyone knows that the European Community will certainly not easily swallow this insult, and the future development of the situation remains full of uncertainty.
…
…
However, neither Militech nor the Mechanicus had time to care about the European Community's thoughts.
Although they had resolved the European Community's temporary threat, they truly had no good way to deal with a behemoth like the European Community.
The European Community, which controls monetary power, possesses extremely strong war potential.
And in this world, with money comes armies and weapons.
If a real fight broke out, New America would definitely be dragged to death on the battlefield by the European Community.
Not to mention economic sanctions; if the European Community were to launch an economic attack on New America through the euro, it would undoubtedly be a devastating disaster.
And with the European Community, a behemoth, lurking around, the integration speed of the Mechanicus and Militech was astonishingly fast.
A large number of core positions within the Mechanicus were replaced by Militech members.
Originally, New America had expected the Mechanical Sages of the Mechanicus to actively object,
after all, Mechanical Sages are high and mighty beings; how could they easily hand over power?
However, the reality was that the Mechanical Sages of the Mechanicus joyfully handed over their work to New America's successors without even a hint of hesitation!
Some Sages even vanished without a trace the moment the handover was completed, as if fearing that New America's administrators would regret it.
And before these administrators even understood the situation, they were already drowned in an overwhelming flood of tasks.
Many of New America's administrators looked at the document scrollbar on their tablets shrinking to a tiny dot, feeling completely numb.
This is too much!
No wonder those Mechanical Sages ran so happily; if it were them, they'd probably wish for two more legs to run away faster.
Facing such an enormous workload, the administrators could only urgently report to headquarters, requesting more personnel for support.
After being momentarily stunned, Militech immediately launched an investigation, wanting to find out what exactly had happened.
However, the investigation results made them feel as if they had been tricked.
It turned out that as many as ninety-nine percent of the Mechanical Cultivators in the Mechanicus were idlers.
Due to their long lifespans, the lifestyle of every Mechanical Cultivator became exceptionally slow.
This situation led to the members of the Mechanicus not being enthusiastic about power, especially the Mechanical Priests in the middle ranks.
Cultivators who could reach this level would more or less see through the essence of power.
Therefore, Mechanical Priests either immersed themselves in the pursuit of truth and scientific research, or indulged in preaching and faith; almost no one was willing to get involved in management.
In fact, these Mechanical Cultivators would rather waste several days holding a tea party, or argue for months over a scientific research topic.
They were unwilling to waste their precious time on tedious management affairs.
After all, becoming a manager not only consumes a lot of time but also entails a lot of pressure.
If one's own strength is not sufficient, there is even a possibility of being counter-controlled or exploited by subordinates.
Thus, naturally, no one was willing to serve in management.
Due to the shortage of grassroots personnel, Lana could only in turn squeeze the Mechanical Sages at the upper leadership level.
Every Mechanical Sage possesses a large amount of computational ability; their brains are comparable to supercomputers.
The result was that each Mechanical Sage had to undertake more work tasks, greatly compressing their time for scientific research and prayer.
It's no exaggeration to say that every Mechanical Sage had experienced the daily routine of being cornered by Pope Lana with a power axe, forced to work.
These Mechanical Sages were truly miserable.
However, the arrival of New America brought spring to the Mechanical Sages.
A large number of patsies came forward to take over their work, which made the Mechanical Sages overjoyed.
They even wished they could immediately set off firecrackers to celebrate.
This way, they finally had ample personal time to fully enjoy life and research.
However, although the Mechanicus was not keen on power, Militech had plenty of people who were passionate about it.
The two sides hit it off and began the handover of work.
A large number of Militech management talents were assigned to the vacant positions within the Mechanicus.
Militech further gained control over the Mechanicus's power, thereby achieving stronger control over machinery.
The Mechanicus was also freed from burdensome affairs, engaging in more of what they wanted to do.
Of course, Militech and New America also gave these high-level Mechanicus members sufficient rights and status.
Sometimes the Mechanical Sages might not want them, but Militech could not choose not to give them.
After all, the Sages of the Mechanicus are extraordinarily powerful; wherever they are, the strong are always revered.
If anyone dared to treat them as weaklings to be bullied at will,
then they would truly crush the other party's head as easily as squeezing a soft persimmon.
