Chapter 22 Ambition and Undercurrent

There were constant curses in the conference room.

The directors of RDA encountered robbers who were stronger than their fists. They were angry and helpless, and miraculously reached empathy with the Na'vi people who were bullied by them.

"Silence!"

The chairman of the board spoke.

His name was Turo.

As soon as he spoke, the whole conference room fell silent.

"Everyone, don't panic."

Turo said calmly: "They asked us for antimatter, magnetic levitation, and superluminal communication technology, which proves that their technological level is definitely not much higher than ours."

Although different civilizations may have different technological development tendencies, energy technology is an indispensable technology for any civilization to enter the interstellar era.

Antimatter is also an important branch of energy technology and is generally not omitted.

The Star-Spangled Nation asked them for antimatter-related technology, which proves that the aliens lack understanding of antimatter and are not a truly powerful advanced civilization.

"As for their space jump technology."

Turo speculated confidently.

"Maybe their home planet happens to have a substance that is crucial to space jump technology. As long as there is this substance, any civilization can easily achieve space jump."

"And we are unlucky. We have been exploring the universe for so long but have not encountered this substance."

The directors showed thoughtful expressions.

The conjecture proposed by Turo is possible because they have experienced similar things.

For example, superluminal communication technology.

Before discovering the superconducting ore on Pandora, they could not achieve superluminal communication anyway, but after discovering the superconducting ore, they soon developed a reliable superluminal communication device.

The universe is random, and everything is possible.

"Of course, we cannot rule out that this is a smokescreen to confuse us. Maybe they deliberately asked us for these three technologies so that we underestimate them."

"But we don't consider this situation."

"Because if this is the case, everything we do is in vain, and they don't have to be hypocritical with us."

The directors nodded one after another.

If the United Government is really much stronger than them, then why negotiate? Just destroy them directly, and then deal with them as they come?

"Suppose their scientific level is close to ours."

"Suppose they only surpass us in some areas, but have not reached the level of crushing us."

"In that case, our army will be a threat to them."

"They can refuse to cooperate with us, and we can also expose them, let our army go to Pandora, and plunge their planet into war!"

"This is definitely a situation they don't want to see."

"In this way, although they can eliminate our forces on Pandora, we can also fight them to a mutual loss!"

Turo said firmly: "We are not soft persimmons!"

The directors nodded frequently.

Then, Turo emphasized: "We have made enough concessions. In the next negotiations, we must not only not make any more concessions, but also show toughness to let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"

"Let them understand!"

"The best choice is to develop Pandora with us!"

"Let's cooperate! Each of us will take half!"

In his words, Turo did not hide his ambition.

He wants to compete with an entire alien civilization with the power of a company and share the benefits equally in the distant Pandora!

Wow!

Applause broke out in the conference room.

The directors were all moved by Turo's words, and their uneasy hearts became stable. Some of them even began to fantasize about the rapid development that RDA was about to usher in.

At this time, a director asked a question: "Chairman, what if they ignore our threats?"

"That's impossible!"

Turo said confidently: "They don't know the coordinates of the earth. Once the cooperation breaks down, they can only passively take the beating!"

"We don't even need to send a fleet!"

"We just need to launch antimatter bombs at them. That is a bomb with a speed of 0.7 times the speed of light. They will definitely not be able to intercept it!"

"If the cooperation breaks down, none of us can get Pandora!"

"They must understand this!"

After thinking for two seconds, the director asked again: "Chairman, what about the reporters on Pandora? What if they see aliens, our affairs will be exposed!"

Reporters have always been a major concern for RDA.

"Just a bunch of idiots seeking fame!"

Turo said indifferently: "Find a reason to send away all the foreign personnel on Pandora now, and strictly review the qualifications of the next batch. Don't let people with real skills go to Pandora, and then give them more money to keep them under our control at all times."

"It will be at least a few years before someone notices something is wrong."

Turo said meaningfully: "Please imagine, by then, we who cooperate with alien civilizations and own half of Pandora - are we still worried about being exposed?"

The directors were all stunned.

Turo meant

The people present were all smart people. They looked at Turo silently, and a strong throbbing arose in their hearts.

Just when the directors were shocked by Turo's words and fell silent collectively, their security guard downstairs was happily slacking off.

"Malicious alien civilization?"

The security guard was playing with his mobile phone, and he saw a video called "What should we do when encountering malicious alien civilizations."

The video is of high quality.

The copywriter quoted classics and the special effects budget was full, which made him watch the video in its entirety.

"What else can we do?"

He curled his lips and said, "Of course, we should hurry up and kill them!"

Most people in the comment area thought the same as him.

Carrots that love to eat little rabbits: Do you know what the Dark Forest Theory is? Every civilization in the universe is a hunter with a gun. They either kill others or are killed by other civilizations!

Black Saturday: Kill them all! No doubt!

Go to the dock to get some fries: You must strike first and don't believe in the kindness of unknown civilizations, for our future generations!

"In the Dark Forest, everyone is a hunter with a gun"

"It makes sense."

The security guard crossed out the video thoughtfully.

The next video is "What are our chances of winning in a war with alien civilizations?"

The security guard watched the video with relish again.

The video analyzes the current combat effectiveness of the earthlings, indicating that if the earthlings encounter aliens, if the other party does not know the coordinates of the earth, as long as they start a war, they will definitely win easily.

The next video was about alien civilizations, and it talked about how defeating an alien civilization could bring many benefits.

The security guard suddenly became confused.

"Strange, why are you pushing so many videos about fighting aliens to me?"

Similar scenes happened in many places.

Overnight, thousands of videos about alien civilizations emerged on major platforms on Earth.

Each one was well-made.

Not only were the copywritings very inspiring, but the various animation effects were also very realistic.

But no one noticed this.

Because these videos were only circulated among ordinary people, and no records were kept in the database, even the platform itself didn't know that they suddenly had so many videos about alien civilizations.
