Chapter 283: Advice! Weird Navigator! Public Opinion Advice!

"Do you know the Atreides?"

At this time, Li De, who was far away at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Realms Base, sent an inquiry to the captain of the Astronautical Guild on the other side of the Star Alliance through the conversation communication device.

Hearing the other party's question, the captain of the Astronautical Guild was very surprised. He asked the other party doubtfully: "Are you a troop of the Atreides family?!"

The Atreides family is a top-notch family in the aristocratic circles of the Dune universe. It is a moral model among the powerful families and has great political influence.

If the Atreides family were converted into the context of the Three Kingdoms, they would be the Yuan family with the family background of four generations and three nobles.

And because the Atreides family is a core member of the Lansgard Council, they often provide benefits to many wealthy noble families, so they also receive the support and love of many Dune noble families.

That's why the Captain of the Aerospace Guild showed a look of astonishment when he heard the other party say the name of the Atreides family.

After all, it is unlikely that such a large family would have enough time to hijack the Aerospace Guild's spaceship.

"I'm asking you now, answer my question immediately!"

Li De scolded the other party, which scared the captain and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he knew the Atreides family.

Immediately afterwards, Li De continued to ask: "Then do you know the Harkonnen family and the Colino royal family?"

This time, the Captain of the Astronautical Guild acted honestly and said that he knew everyone, and answered every follow-up question from Li De truthfully.

The Harkonnen family, like the Atreides family, once helped Butler put down the rebellion during the holy war between humans and AI.

As one of Butler's entrepreneurial teams, Harkonnen naturally became a core shareholder member of Empire after it went public and was able to participate in the benefits of dividends.

However, conflicts and disagreements occurred between the Harkonnen and Atreides families over the key distribution of interests, and the two noble families became feuding.

As the emperor, Butler was naturally happy to see this situation, and would even deliberately allow the two powerful families to become more and more violent.

The trick of killing three people with two peach has become a must-have skill for the Colino royal family. After all, only when the ministers under their command make trouble, can the throne under their butts be stable enough.

However, although the Harkonnen family is considered a very powerful noble clan among many clans and factions, the characters of this group of clan members are very greedy and violent.

To put it bluntly, he is still a gangster and does not pay attention to things, especially when it comes to interests. He is like a starving ghost who is reincarnated and would rather eat with a mouth full of oil regardless of his image.

He is also unwilling to give up any profits to other families.

Therefore, in terms of reputation and prestige, the Harkonnen family is far inferior to the Atreides family.

Here, after learning from the captain that there are forces such as Atreides, Harkonnen, and the Colino royal family in this universe, Li De has determined that this is the Dune universe.

"What time is it now? I want it to be specific to the year, month and day."

Li De asked the captain again.

Now that we have figured out that this is the Dune universe, we should figure out the current point in time and see where the plot line has developed.

The question Li De asked is also the key information that Li Ang needs to know most now.

If Paul is now on his way to lead the army to crush Colino, then the situation may be a bit troublesome.

After all, he would have to fight Paul's troops with real swords and guns before he could successfully ascend the throne and become the God Emperor.

Although with the current technological capabilities of the global giants, it is not very difficult to defeat the human civilization in the Dune Universe and forcibly complete the integration task.

But this is not efficient, and the cost of war is very high. Paying such a heavy price is something Li Ang is unwilling to accept.

So now he needs to figure out the timing so that he can deploy more specific tactics.

Faced with Li De's inquiry, the captain of the Astronautical Guild did not hide anything from the other party and answered directly and truthfully: "It is April 26, 10190 AD."

After hearing this number, Li Ang, who was behind the scenes, was thoughtful. It seemed that they had arrived quite early.

Because the story development of "Dune 1" began in 10191, the royal family of Collino had not yet killed the Atreides family.

As the protagonist, Paul is still a leisurely prince at home, but a conspiracy against the Atreides family has begun to brew.

The royal family and the Harkonnen family are sharpening their knives.

After learning these relevant information points, Li De ordered the Spartans on the dreadnought to escort these people down and continue questioning them later.

In fact, the Aeronautical Guild is not a good or bad organization in the Dune universe.

As a completely profit-seeking capital alliance, their only pursuit is to make money. At best, they are a business alliance, and at worst, they are high-level workers who make money for the royal family and powerful families.

For this kind of organization that only focuses on doing business, the giant companies in the world have no intention of targeting each other.

After all, this type of force will not fight for their beliefs or ideals like fanatical and crazy religious believers. They will only weigh the pros and cons and make the most correct choice.

And often this kind of organization is the easiest to negotiate cooperation with.

"I'm warning you. We are the crew of the Astronautical Guild. Our current mission is to pick up the royal family's envoy. You have delayed my mission now. Be careful that the royal family will accuse you!"

When the Spartan warriors in front of him tried to take their crew away, the captain of the Space Guild began to scold them.

He did not use the name of "Space Guild" to warn the Spartan warriors, because the captain himself knew that in front of the clan factions, the Space Guild was just a small role with little influence.

This would not work at all.

Usually even some small families dared to bully the crew of the Space Guild, not to mention some people from big families.

At this time, only by reporting the name of the royal family could the family's soldiers be suppressed.

Obviously, this crew member still did not take the Universal Corporation seriously, and he still mistakenly thought that the other party was a private company organization of a big family.

That's why he dared to intercept the spacecraft of the Space Guild without fear.

However, facing the captain's warning, the Spartan warrior stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder. With a little force, the captain grimaced in pain and began to scream in pain.

"Please cooperate with our work."

After saying that, the Spartan warrior let go of his hand, and the captain of the Space Guild immediately became honest and followed him away with a sullen look.

Seeing this scene, Li De couldn't help but smile. He still wanted to threaten the Universal Corporation.

With the current technological strength of the Universal Corporation, the entire Dune Galactic Empire forces combined are not their opponents.

Even if the Dune Empire's troops have Holtzman shield technology and can block laser cannons, the shield does not completely ignore laser cannons.

This shield technology is the same as the energy shield of the Reaper civilization. It is still limited. It is impossible to maintain the protective state for a long time, and it will also run out of energy and become ineffective.

So the fleet of the Universal Corporation can completely break these shield barriers by using hard light main guns to attack.

What's more, at the current stage, the Universal Corporation has already mastered strategic weapons such as neutron annihilation.

With a neutron killing shot, a planet's life can be wiped out in less than three minutes. With this high efficiency, if Leon is not a human, it will take only a blink of an eye to unify the Dune universe.

But this brutal and mindless approach has never been Leon's style. Treating, beheading, and accepting as dogs are his favorite means.

"Escort them all down, keep a close eye on them, and don't let them run away." Li De ordered the soldiers on the front line.

"Yes!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Spartan warriors took all the crew members of the Space Association down.

The staff of the Research Department also took the opportunity to enter the Space Association's high-class ship and inspected and searched the equipment and devices inside one by one.

Soon, they found a "person" tied to a life support device in the cockpit.

But rather than saying that it was a person, it was better to say that it was a monster with severely degenerated limbs and only a big head left.

But this weird big head is the human navigator in the Dune universe!

When seeing this scene, the top executives of the giant companies in the conference room of the base headquarters could not help but frown, with disgust on their faces.

"Is this the human navigator in the Dune universe? This is too abstract. Those who don't know would think it is a brain in a jar."

"..."

Hearing everyone's speech, Li Ang was very calm, as if he was already used to it.

In fact, the navigators in the dunes were normal human appearances at the beginning, but these navigators needed to inhale spices to maximize their potential.

In order to improve their calculation and thinking abilities.

But in the process of inhaling a large amount of spices, these professionally trained navigators will slowly mutate into monsters.

In general, the more abstract and weird the navigator's appearance is, the stronger his calculation and predictive abilities are.

There is no way. As the organ that consumes the most energy, the human brain is bound to have an inevitable compensatory effect once it is overdeveloped and used.

The consequence of the expansion and overdevelopment of the brain is the atrophy of the limbs and the almost loss of mobility.

Although the navigators in the dunes are a bit ugly, the business capabilities of these humanoid AIs are still quite superb.

The navigators in this spaceship are senior navigators, who are high-level professionals in the aerospace guild.

In the dune universe, with a navigator of this level leading the way, there is basically no need to worry about the extreme space environment.

At this moment, after seeing the situation here, the employees of the giant company at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base each had a detailed discussion on the dune universe this time.

The dune universe opened by the star gate this time is not very dangerous, and the magical substance of spice is unique.

The difficulty of this universe is low and the return rate is high. The world giant company should take over this universe as soon as possible.

Seeing that the opinions of the senior executives are converging, Song Zhaomei, the head of the strategic department of the giant company, expressed his opinion at this time.

"We should immediately dispatch a fleet to the Dune universe and try to take over the universe as soon as possible!"

The integration of the Dune universe is a project selected by the boss Li Ang. At this moment, the executives of the giant company are just symbolically going through the process.

So there is no possibility of opposing the integration of the Dune universe.

So the next second, the executives below all echoed and supported Song Zhaomei's opinion.

"I agree with Director Song's opinion. The Dune universe is very suitable for the integration of our Universal Corporation."

The person who spoke was Ott Cunningham, the head of the research department.

Since humans in the Dune Universe have given up on the research and development of computer technology, this has resulted in humans there being almost equal to zero in terms of information technology!

Their information USB flash drive is even a specific cultivated organism, and even the ornithopter uses a scallop biological engine.

It can be seen that the technological points of humans in Dune basically focus on genetic modification, shield technology, and interstellar travel.

Even a small number of humans can obtain some special abilities through spices and genetic engineering.

But in the face of a huge interstellar war, these people cannot change the situation of the war, especially when faced with a human civilization that is as large as the giant companies in the world and has strong production capabilities and legion warriors.

If the world's giants want to control the situation in the Dune Universe, they don't even need to dispatch many fleets. They only need a regular expeditionary force to take care of the situation here.

On the point of unifying the Dune Universe, all the executives of giant companies have reached a consensus.

But the key point now is how to carry out the next step.

"Everyone, tell me what you think."

At this time, Li De, who was standing on the main stage, looked around at the people below. In the previous All-Heaven Action Plan, Li Ang was the only decision-maker.

But today, for the first time, there was a time for the top executives of giant companies to come up with ideas.

Some executives of giant companies who didn't understand the reason began to fall into deep thought and did not dare to raise their hands to vote easily.

This is not because they don’t know enough about the Dune universe and are worried about saying the wrong thing, but because they are afraid of taking responsibility for making a wrong idea.

After all, within the system, most of the time, making fewer mistakes is far more important than making meritorious deeds.

"Hey! If you ask me, just give me two legions of fleets, and I will lead the navy directly to the Colino royal family, kill the old emperor there, and let the boss take this position!"

As the new leader of the Iron Hands, Jack Wells stood up angrily and spoke.

Senior executives of other giant companies did not dare to speak, but he had no worries. He spoke directly and bluntly and told Li Ang's true thoughts.

Give him the fleet power of two legions, which is enough for the troops of the world's giants to crush the royal family of the Dune Universe!

After all, the armed forces there have absolutely no ability to resist the neutron killing, manticore virus, sojourner dreadnought, and star-killing nuclear bombs from the world's giants.

With Jack Wills speaking first, other executives from giant companies also began to offer suggestions and express their personal thoughts.

According to the past experience of global giants in integrating the universe, there are actually only three ideas for integration plans.

The first and most simple and crude method is to rely on absolute power to forcefully take over the local boss and control him for your own use.

For example, the planetary consciousness "Eva" of Pandora.

However, this approach is only applicable to other species and civilizations, and is not very effective for humans. After all, it is difficult to convince the public by doing this.

The second scenario is for global giants to act as saviors to save local civilization and complete the integration mission at will.

This state is the most ideal, the lowest management cost, and the best effect.

Because this can maximize the effect of persuading the public.

For example, the 001 "Netherworld" universe, the 002 "Pacific Rim" universe, and the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe all relied on giant corporations to act as saviors to achieve the purpose of integration.

As for the third type, it needs to test the micro-management ability of the decision-maker.

For example, the 004 "Halo" universe took six years to completely integrate, and the Covenant War alone lasted nearly five years.

During this period, all the methods used by the giant companies in the world can be said to be exhaustive.

But the core operation is still the same three steps -

Treat them to guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs.

But this time in the Dune universe, the local human civilization has not encountered foreign threats like the Covenant, and needs to be saved by the giants of the world.

There is no god like Eva who can control the local indigenous people with a final say.

If they choose to go to war with the Colino royal family and forcibly kill the emperor here, it actually doesn't make much sense.

After all, there are so many powerful people in the Dune universe, and if one person dies, another one will appear.

Once the Colino royal family dies, the most powerful family will definitely take over the throne and lead other families to fight against the giant companies in the world.

Even when the world's giants attack the Colino family, the Harkonnen and Atreides families who are watching from the other side may applaud and wait for the outcome of the battle.

Therefore, unless all the families in Sand Dune are wiped out, there will be no benefit if the giant companies start a war rashly.

Seeing a small sand dune universe, it was a bit helpless. The high-level officials below were in constant dispute for a while.

At this moment, Song Zhaomei, who had already read the reference answers from Li Ang in advance, took the opportunity to bring up the idea of ​​integrating politics and religion and joining the God Emperor.

As the Great Pope and God-Emperor, we can unify the local human civilization at the minimum cost, and we can complete the task of unification without even starting a war!

At this moment, all the executives of giant companies present stopped talking and turned to look at Song Zhaomei.

And Song Zhaomei also took the stage lightly and said to everyone in a solemn tone:

"Everyone, humans in the Dune universe have no doubts about the legend of the savior. As we all know, the legends and maxims of history are nothing but artificial manipulation of political opinion."

"Since the local humans are willing to fall for this trick, we should take advantage of it and package the boss as a savior from outer space, the emperor of the universe."

"Only by doing so can we reduce the local humans' sense of rejection of the Universal Corporation as much as possible and facilitate our future management of the Dune universe."

"..."
