Chapter 185: Bureau! Reshape the "Heavenly Way" Of Pandora!
"Woo!"
"Ho ho ho...!"
After Etukang performed a wartime mobilization ceremony that made the Na'vi indigenous people feel excited and passionate, the indigenous people under the spiritual tree suddenly became violent.
The disaster caused by the war and the ideal of protecting their homeland were intertwined in their hearts to form a rope connecting the tribal people.
They all followed the example of Chief Etukan, roaring loudly and angrily at the spirit tree, and dancing with their hands and feet to vent their inner anger.
"revenge!"
"revenge!!"
"..."
However, just as the Na'vi indigenous people were carrying out an inefficient, but passionate mobilization ceremony.
Dozens of drones hidden around the spirit tree have captured their every move.
These "stealth" drones that cannot be directly observed with normal naked eyes are actually optical camouflage that achieves the stealth effect by simulating the surrounding natural environment.
Of course, there are still many cases where invisible drones are watching and monitoring the Na'vi indigenous people on the entire planet Pandora.
Under the airtight reconnaissance methods of the giant fleet, these drones were like electronic ghosts with gangrene attached to their bones, clinging tightly to the sky above and around each spiritual tree.
At this moment, in the low-Earth orbit of Pandora, in the main ship command center of the starship array.
Hundreds of attentive staff members were still sitting firmly in front of their respective control desks.
They obtain the latest news and data from the ground through countless holographic displays.
After properly sorting and summarizing this messy and complex information, they will upload the data in files.
In the center console of the command center room, even after giving various instructions for more than ten hours, Li Ang still felt energetic and active.
Obviously, the system gave him endless life and unlimited energy, which were fully reflected at this moment.
At this time, Li Ang was silently looking at the holographic ground map carefully drawn and modified by many staff.
On this map that resembles a sandbox and is strictly proportioned and capable of shrinking details, countless dense information annotations are clearly marked like a barrage.
【1086/High-risk creature/Black-armored giant leopard! 】
【1131/Common Creature/Spotted Cow】
【1478/Aerial/High-risk Creatures/Banxi Beast! 】
【……】
At the same time, this holographic map with extremely detailed information also presents views that can be used to observe the ground situation from many different angles.
This allowed Li Ang to clearly and comprehensively see the state of the spiritual tree with "fiber optic branches" and the Na'vi people who were conducting mobilization ceremonies across Pandora.
"It seems that the number of spiritual trees on Pandora is much more than I imagined!"
Looking at the various aircraft dispatched from the starship, constantly marking and reporting the "spiritual trees" in various areas, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
According to the current situation, Pandora's spiritual tree is equivalent to a habitable spot.
Areas with spiritual trees are suitable for the Na'vi people to thrive and survive. Therefore, the number of Na'vi indigenous people in the spiritual tree area is often larger.
Using the safest calculation, there must be at least 800 Na'vi indigenous people near each spiritual tree.
The number of spiritual trees that have been detected and identified so far has reached an astonishing more than two thousand!
This means that the ground force soldiers of LA Company will face the siege of at least 1.6 million Na'vi.
1.6 million alien natives, this is not a small number!
"Boss, do you need us to continue sending soldiers from the starships to the ground battlefield?"
Seeing Li Ang's thoughtful expression, Morgan Blackhand couldn't help but stepped forward and asked tentatively.
This interstellar colonial war led by the LA Alliance has a total of eight million human warriors at its disposal, and more than half of them are replicants.
If all were bet on it according to the extreme state of explosive force, their total force could reach more than 20 million people!
Although most of them are robots, or other combat mechanical devices, and AI weapons.
"No, there's no need to do that."
Li Ang shook his head and immediately rejected Morgan's proposal.
The various equipment resources such as soldiers, fighter jets, and tanks that are currently in a state of war only account for 5% of the LA Alliance.
But just this part is enough for them to win this colonial war!
The reason why Li Ang was not in a hurry to take action, and slowly sent troops to encroach, and was not in a hurry to break out a large-scale war conflict, was actually just to test "Eva"'s reaction.
And now, Li Ang has completely understood "Eva"'s decision-making and reaction ideas!
"Boss, the frequency of small-scale battles among our ground troops has begun to increase, and the efficiency of advancement has been reduced a lot. Does this... really not matter?"
Morgan Blackhand looked at the battle status reports that were constantly coming from the holographic screen, and then looked at Li Ang, who was as steady and calm as an old dog. For a moment, he didn't understand Li Ang's train of thought.
When cleaning up the heretical rebels who are enemies of the company on the earth, Li Ang uses various vigorous and resolute methods.
I wish I could kill those clowns who are obstructing the construction of the ideal city right away.
But on Pandora, all the military action instructions given by Li Ang seemed a bit too "gentle".
This made Morgan feel very puzzled!
"Morgan, our enemies have never been the Na'vi natives on the ground. Those natives are just poor bugs. They only want to reproduce and survive and feed the gods with their bodies."
At this point, Leon simply told Morgan all the secrets of "Eva".
And as expected, after learning the real behind-the-scenes of this colonial war, Morgan Blackhand was instantly excited and got goose bumps!
It turned out that the "enemy" who was controlling the Na'vi natives and fighting against the LA Alliance was the god "Eva" of Pandora.
"So...Eva awakened the natives on this planet through the spirit tree and instructed them to take up arms against us?!"
When saying this, even Morgan, who has always been calm and steady, couldn't help but twitch his mouth at this moment.
What happened to the native bastards who were as cheap as ants? Why did he directly confront the level boss right away?
This is not the same as expected!
Facing Morgan's surprised question, Leon just patted his thick shoulders with a smile, nodded lightly and said: "Morgan, this is how things are done in LA company."
"Our company's philosophy is efficient and clean."
"There are not so many messy tactics, nor so many intrigues. In the future interstellar war, 'decapitation operation' will be our first choice!"
Hearing this, Morgan Blackhand pondered for a moment. Leon's various ideas of doing things always gave him a refreshing feeling.
For a boss like this who doesn't play by the rules, it is indeed difficult for him, as a subordinate, to guess the other party's thoughts and then do things in advance.
"If Eva can inform them of the next military action through the spirit tree or the neural connection system on the Na'vi, then is it..."
At this moment, Morgan Blackhand guessed another terrifying possibility.
That is, maybe "Eva" can also guide other life forms on Pandora through consciousness control to attack the soldiers of the ground forces!
The beasts running on the ground, the strange birds flying in the sky, and the unknown monsters lurking under the water may all attack human soldiers under the influence of "Eva's" consciousness!
Even those exotic flowers and plants that look gorgeous and dreamy may release some deadly toxins under the control of "Eva".
A more terrifying guess is that the crust of Pandora suddenly cracked, and an ancient microbial virus that can kill or cause mutations gushed out from the inside!
And any life form that comes into contact with this virus or microorganism will be completely decomposed into nutrients for restarting new creatures on Pandora.
Such a situation is not completely impossible.
Perhaps this is the reason why Pandora has never been colonized by other advanced civilizations even though there are only low-level indigenous civilizations for billions of years!
Because the aliens who came before have already become part of Pandora and are buried in the planet's crust.
After listening to Morgan Blackhand's series of self-detailed imagination, Leon was somewhat surprised by the associative ability of the starship executive in front of him.
Good guy! He can think better than me.
But I have to admit that all the guesses that Morgan thought of were also in Leon's many assumptions!
Although these guesses are somewhat exaggerated, even too bizarre, completely contrary to the details shown in the original movie.
But the Pandora star where Leon is located is not completely the alien world in the original book. Who dares to guarantee that the above guesses will not appear!
Therefore, it is better to make more worst-case assumptions and prepare for them in advance than to follow the plot line in the original book stupidly.
"Morgan, your guess is not unreasonable, but it is unlikely for such an extreme disaster to happen."
Li Ang first praised and affirmed Morgan's wonderful details, and then added some detailed information about "Eva" for him in time.
Combining the abilities shown by "Eva" in the original movie and the current situation of the ground forces, Eva should only be good at consciousness control.
At most, she can control the consciousness of alien life forms.
But it is a bit nonsense to want to spray out ancient viruses, microorganisms and bacteria.
For "Eva", the most important part is to strengthen her own consciousness network system by absorbing the consciousness of Pandora's creatures.
This means that once the human legion soldiers invade or step into too many spiritual tree areas, affecting the daily eating of "Eva", it is possible to cause a comprehensive war.
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the genetic instinct of any life, and it is not transferred by the will of the individual.
Eva's first priority for survival is to eat more consciousness!
Now "Eva" has mobilized the Na'vi natives on the ground through the spirit tree to engage in a simple armed conflict with human soldiers. It is most likely just a simple test.
The scale and intensity of the war between the two sides are far from a life-and-death struggle, and there is no critical moment when all the cards are revealed.
"Then our next goal is to fully occupy all the spirit tree areas in Pandora first."
"Or just send a capable advance team to test and try to connect the matrix to the spirit tree."
Morgan suddenly realized and continued to ask.
After Leon's detailed explanation, Morgan Blackhand finally understood what they were doing these days.
No wonder Leon asked the ground forces to explore the spirit trees on Pandora in such a detailed and comprehensive way.
After a long time, it turned out that they were planning to hack into the super planet database called "Eva" and capture the natural AI in the matrix!
Moreover, in order to ensure that the "spiritual trees" of each Na'vi indigenous tribe would not be too different, Leon also sent people to conduct careful observations.
See if there are any different characteristics between these spirit trees.
Because there is only one chance to arrest "Eva" through the matrix, Leon must ensure a 100% hit rate!
If the connection between a spirit tree and the main server of "Eva" is too poor, it will be detected by Eva before the matrix program reaches its destination, which will be troublesome.
After all, Leon can only guarantee that the matrix in his hand can pull "Eva" out of Pandora's consciousness network and merge it into the power grid.
But he cannot guarantee whether "Eva" has any other means to evade the arrest of the matrix.
In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Leon asked these aircraft to collect and observe the situation of each spiritual tree on a large scale.
From the results known now, the spiritual tree areas on Pandora are actually the same, and there is no problem of too much difference.
This shows that no matter which angle Leon chooses to insert the matrix from, to reach "Eva" deep in Pandora, he is likely to succeed!
'The time has come, start the army today! '
After Leon made the final decision in his mind, he immediately ordered Morgan Blackhand to continue the march.
He ordered the advance team of the Iron Hand Astartes Legion led by V to take the matrix device to the spiritual tree of the Etukon tribe and connect to the roots of the spiritual tree!
In addition, in order not to arouse the vigilance of "Eva", Leon will send out several more troops as a feint to attack other resource areas.
For example, the suspended stone area, the plant natural area, the animal area and other territories, all of which will be attacked one by one.
In order to avoid their intentions being too obvious and being seen by "Eva".
"Yes!"
After receiving Leon's exact instructions, Morgan immediately handed over this key decapitation operation task to the members of the advance team where V was.
Soon, when the warriors of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Legion knew that their next action was not to fight the main force of the enemy.
But to occupy an ordinary spirit tree stronghold, the emotions they showed were somewhat boring.
Just this strength? There is no pleasure of crushing the indigenous civilization at all!
"No way! How can I justify my equipment with such a small workload!"
Jack Wells smiled carelessly, patted his chest as hard as a giant bear, and joked with the soldiers beside him.
"Jack, stop talking nonsense. You are always the first one to leave the legion every time you have a holiday, just to see Misty earlier."
Johnny Silverhand, who knew Jack inside and out, mercilessly exposed his shortcomings.
"Go! You are not bad either."
Jack Wells fought back unwillingly, "You dare to go to the club to pick up other girls with Ott Cunningham, you are really brave."
Johnny: "..."
For a while, the tense atmosphere in the Astartes Legion was dispersed a lot with the jokes of Jack and Johnny.
But it is better to have work than no work. After receiving Leon's order, V immediately responded firmly on behalf of the Astartes Legion soldiers: "Received!"
On the Infinity Array Starship, after hearing V's confident voice as always, Leon smiled with satisfaction.
It is still the most reliable to use it with your own people. If it were another unit, he would not have the confidence to do this critical decapitation mission.
But if V is given it, it will definitely succeed!
"Boss, if Eva is really connected to our server by the matrix, will there be any drastic changes on this planet?"
"Or will it cause any unpredictable turmoil?"
At this time, Song Zhaomei, who was responsible for managing the daily operation of the matrix, couldn't help but ask Leon.
"In addition...how should we deal with the natives here? Should we study them as biological organisms, or connect them all to the matrix to generate electricity?"
Although Song Zhaomei felt that what the LA Alliance did on Pandora was the same as the North American events that happened on Earth from the 17th to the 19th century.
But she didn't think it was a big problem. After all, the survival of civilizations in the interstellar world depends on the thoughts of higher civilizations.
In other words, it's none of your business to destroy you!
Low-level civilizations have no bargaining rights. Their moral systems, which are bright and beautiful on the surface but extremely fragile in reality, cannot show any civilizational warmth in the vacuum environment of the universe.
From the perspective of cruel game theory, giving the opportunity to shoot to races of other civilizations has long been buried in the long river of time.
The only thing Song Zhaomei is worried about now is whether there will be incalculable damage if Pandora loses a macroscopic life form like "Eva".
For example, a major earthquake or some other natural disaster!
After all, no one has dealt with this situation before. In the absence of experience, it is still very important to make all the preparations for the aftermath.
In fact, Song Zhaomei's doubts are not unreasonable, and this is indeed the key issue that Li Ang considered before.
But now, Li Ang has figured out the essence of "Eva"!
"Eva is just a collective consciousness life formed by chance on Pandora. Even if one Eva is lost, there will be a second Eva!"
Li Ang's new conclusion directly defined the Pandora god "Eva", who was previously high above, as a consciousness life that was produced by chance.
And this is indeed the mystery of the true origin of "Eva"!
The relationship between "Eva" and Pandora is actually a very common natural symbiosis.
Eva needs Pandora's life consciousness to thrive in its collective consciousness network system.
And Pandora also needs "Eva", a special life existence, to guard its home and fight against alien invaders.
As for who can't live without whom, there is no need to worry about it. After all, the continuation of life will never stop for a single individual.
As long as the "spiritual tree" of Pandora is still there, as long as the Na'vi natives worship the spirit tree, the tribal customs of uploading the consciousness of the dead are still there.
As long as the way to upload life consciousness is still there.
Then even the long-lost god "Eva" will be revived sooner or later!
"So... Eva can also be mass-produced on Pandora like AI?!"
Li Ang's amazing theory made Song Zhaomei sweat all over. She seemed to have guessed Li Ang's ultimate goal.
What arresting Eva and controlling the natives of Pandora for their own use, this is clearly planning to cultivate a second matrix generator!
"Xiao Song, your growth rate is not bad."
Seeing that Song Zhaomei seemed to have guessed his thoughts, Li Ang simply answered all the puzzles for her.
Yes, by manipulating the "spiritual tree", Pandora, "Eva", and the behavior habits of the Na'vi natives, "conscious life Eva" is continuously produced.
All this is also in Leon's plan!
In fact, as early as when the LA Alliance's Infinity Starship Array arrived at Pandora, Leon said something to the people around him.
[Pandora itself is a natural "matrix" server, and "Eva" is a kind of matrix program! ]
Unfortunately, except for Leon himself who realized this highly feasible production development path, the rest of the people just thought that Leon was a tyrant who was full of thoughts of destruction.
But the fact is that asking for the floating stone resources here is only the most superficial appearance.
Reshaping the natural laws of Pandora is the "heavenly way" of the giant enterprise that Leon really wants to implement!
"This...!"
After learning all of Leon's inner thoughts, Song Zhaomei realized it belatedly. No wonder Leon always spent so much time thinking in front of the center console.
It was obviously just a simple decision, but Li Ang had to think about it for a long time.
At first, Song Zhaomei thought that Li Ang was as nervous as them, afraid that he would make a wrong move and cause something to happen to the ground troops.
As a result, the leader of the giant enterprise, who stood at a higher dimension, had already seen the chessboard layout of hundreds of steps in the future through this small first step!
‘This is what it means to be truly thoughtful! ’
Seeing that Li Ang had such a profound layout thinking, even Song Zhaomei, who was once the top strategic deduction expert of the United Intelligence Bureau, couldn’t help but feel stunned and amazed at this moment.
No wonder V, Morgan Blackhand, Ott Cunningham and a large group of people would follow Li Ang and LA Company so willingly.
With such a nearly omniscient boss, no matter what they do, they can achieve the maximum benefit with the highest efficiency!
Between eating shit and eating meat, I’m afraid no one would think of choosing the former.
