Chapter 1885: Life or Death

‘War caused by different aesthetics’

To be honest, even Jin Xiantai felt that such a thing was really ridiculous, and because of this reason, an Italian exploration team member died.

Although Jin Xiantai and his team launched a revenge operation with a force far superior to the ‘octopus civilization’, after all, the unlucky guy had no way to come back to life, which was really regrettable.

And Jin Xiantai himself kept reflecting in his heart.

He felt that he was a little too presumptuous.

Yes, Jin Xiantai always thought that most extraterrestrial civilizations would be hypocritical pacifists like the earthlings. At least before they could tell who was stronger and who was weaker, they still had to pretend.

But the ‘octopus man’ taught him a lesson.

People are not hypocritical. If they think you are ugly and disgusting, they can just get up and kill you!

The set of rules on Earth is sometimes not very useful in the universe. After all, there are many differences between civilizations, and everyone's thinking mode is not the same. Therefore, Jin Xiantai feels that his original view is really ridiculous now.

If he does not change this concept in time, then such things may happen again in the future.

In this regard, Jin Xiantai is both emotional and sighing, and very helpless.

But he still decided to change his concept. After all, some of his orders really represent the life and death of some people, just like the unfortunate Italian exploration team member. If he had not ordered him to be an envoy, he would not have died in the hands of the octopus man, and was eaten alive by the octopus man, and died so miserably.

Sometimes, people cannot understand without experiencing some things.

And now Jin Xiantai has understood.

For alien civilizations, don't consider whether the other party is peace-loving or not. In short, it is really necessary to be careful and cautious. After all, these guys are not human beings, and their thinking and behavior patterns are different from those of humans.

Just like kangaroos and sloths cannot talk, lions and tigers also cannot communicate. If humans are not careful when contacting with many civilizations in the universe, accidents will definitely happen.

The simplest reason is that everyone has different customs and cultures.

Perhaps an unintentional behavior, words, or even body movements, or even gestures, will violate the other party's taboos, and then cause war or something.

This is definitely not a joke.

For example, now, the octopus people killed and ate the messenger because humans are "ugly and disgusting", which led to the destruction of the octopus civilization.

Thanks to the exploration team, which has mastered technology and force far beyond the octopus civilization, it can help the unlucky Italian to take revenge, otherwise the other party's revenge will not be taken at all.

At the same time, the octopus civilization is in the steam age, or the kind of sci-fi and magical steampunk age, so it was quite disadvantageous when facing Kim Hyun-tae and his team.

If the octopus people had the same level of technology as humans, then Jin Xiantai and his team would have no time to think about revenge. They would have to hide as far away as possible, after all, the space exploration team was too small.

At present, the population of octopus people on this planet is guaranteed to be four or five times that of the Earth, so there is no way to fight them.

So, Jin Xiantai and his team were really lucky. Fortunately, the technological level of the octopus people's civilization was not very good, so Jin Xiantai and his team could easily start a war and gain an overwhelming advantage from the beginning.

Jin Xiantai did not fantasize about peace, but through the words of the octopus noble just now, he already knew that this was impossible.

Due to different aesthetics, the appearance of humans is extremely ugly and disgusting in the eyes of octopus people, and they can't even stand it at all.

In this case, what is the point of talking about peace.

People can't stand you, right?

So, Jin Xiantai no longer fantasized about anything. For him, there was only one way to go, which was to eliminate the octopus people on this planet.

To be honest, Jin Xiantai was also very helpless about this.

He couldn't understand why humans were ugly and disgusting.

Damn it!

He couldn't agree with the difference in aesthetics between alien civilizations.

However, this was also very normal.

It was unreasonable for humans to impose their own worldview, moral values, and other things on other alien civilizations, unless they were civilizations that had been conquered by humans or surrendered to humans.

Octopus people were not a civilization conquered by humans.

They had their own unique worldview and aesthetics, so it was true that they thought that humans on Earth were ugly and disgusting, and that they couldn't stand it.

Of course, it just sounded a little difficult for humans to accept and different.

Nowadays, for octopus people, humans are not just ugly, but also ugly and disgusting. Now, humans like Kim Hyun-tae are like demons to many octopus people who survived temporarily.

Indeed, Kim Hyun-tae and his men are destroying the city and turning their homes into ruins. The armed forces in the Octopus People's city are simply unable to fight against Kim Hyun-tae and his men. What else can you expect the Octopus People to think in such a situation.

"Give you a chance, a chance to live. Surrender and you can live! But you will become our slaves in the future. Time is running out. You must make a decision as soon as possible."

Although Jin Xiantai had no hope for the octopus people, he finally decided to give it a try. After all, if the octopus people could surrender to humans, these guys would be good materials for being slaves.

These guys are very strong and have more than a dozen tentacles on their bodies. They can do four or five things at once, so their work efficiency is very high.

At the worst, we can just take these guys to the mineral star to mine.

You know, Jin Xiantai and the others discovered the mineral star and bribed the aboriginal people on the mineral star, and they already have a territory of their own.

But the mineral star is far away from the earth, even the twin galaxies are not close, so it is quite troublesome to operate the mineral star.

Although there is a Red Alert base on that planet, Kim Hyuntai will not let the genetic warriors hatched by the Red Alert base do things like mining.

Besides, the Mineral Star is not my own. If it were my own, that would be a different matter.

Therefore, Jin Xiantai will not waste his personal resources on all the mineral stars in that empire.

Therefore, if you want to develop the mineral resources on the mineral star, you will need a lot of manpower.

And even if there is large machinery, it will take time to transport it from the earth?

At that time, there will be assembly, maintenance and upkeep, which is a lot of things to do.

Merely having machines is not enough. People are also needed. At the worst, AI robots must be stationed, and the number must not be small.

Although the Mineral Star was officially owned by the empire, Jin Xiantai could imagine with his knees that the person who came to operate and develop it must be a certain capital force, and what is the nature of the capital force? Spend the minimum amount of money and get the maximum benefit.

So on this basis, how to reduce costs will definitely be listed as the primary consideration.

AI robots are expensive.

Shipping machinery from Earth is also not cheap.

Maintenance also requires considerable funds.

So, if there are ready-made alien slaves, this will greatly reduce costs, right?

It's very simple. When alien slaves go to mine, you don't need to pay them, and you can even control them to death. You don't even need to give them good food, you just need to ensure that they don't starve to death.

Calculated in this way, the cost expenditure is pitifully small.

Capitalists are very good at calculating this score.

And Jin Xiantai thought of this, so he wanted to try to see if these octopus people could be conquered by him with force and turn them into slaves.

Anyway, people like him are already intruders, destroyers, and executioners who slaughter their loved ones in the eyes of the other party. Therefore, Jin Xiantai does not want to clear his name, because that is an idiotic approach.

Now that you have become a villain, let yourself be evil to the end.

Anyway, these are all alien races, and Jin Xiantai doesn't think there is anything psychologically uncomfortable with them, as long as the other party is not a human being.

In front of the ruins of the square of the capital's aristocratic parliament building, those members who were lucky enough to survive had their heads chopped off one by one like lambs to be slaughtered.

In the square, there were thousands of octopus citizens with dusty faces and varying degrees of injuries. They were old and young, male and female.

In the eyes of these octopus people, Jin Xiantai discovered complex colors such as hatred, disgust, contempt, panic and fear.

Jin Xiantai could understand their hatred, disgust and contempt. Human beings are ugly in their eyes, and they are still ugly to the point of being ugly.

Octopus people have no arms and legs, and their slime-like bodies are destined to make it impossible for them to wear clothes similar to humans. However, these octopus people have evolved to the level of steam civilization, so these octopus people are covered with a layer of The thin metal plates make them look like mutant silkworms with many tentacles.

Bang! Bang!

Jin Xiantai walked up to a female octopus holding a small octopus child. The female octopus was so frightened that she tightened the child in her arms, and her body was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble.

Ignoring the female octopus man, Jin Xiantai squatted down, looked at the little octopus man and asked: "Are you willing to surrender? Become our slave. If you are willing to surrender and become a slave, then you can live."

Then, Jin Xiantai said to the female octopus: "This is your child, right? As a mother, do you want your child to die here like this? Surrender, even if you surrender and become a slave, you can live. I think you should know exactly what choice you have to make, right?"

Any civilized race in such a situation would have very complicated emotions.

The female octopus remained silent.

Kim Hyun Tae's thoughts were turning.

He couldn't help but think, if he were in the current situation of a female octopus, what choice would he make?

Survive or die, this is really a question worth thinking about...
