Chapter 185: Bureau! Reshaping Pandora's "Heavenly Way"!
"Woo!"
"Ho ho ho...!"
After Etukon finished a wartime mobilization ceremony that made the Na'vi natives feel excited and passionate, the natives under the sacred tree suddenly became irritable.
The disaster caused by the war and the ideal of defending their homeland have intertwined into a rope connecting the people of the tribe in their hearts.
They followed the example of Chief Etukang, 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 conducting an inefficient but passionate mobilization ceremony.
Dozens of drones hidden around the spiritual tree have recorded their every move.
These "stealth" drones, which cannot be observed directly with the naked eye, actually achieve their stealth effect through optical camouflage that simulates the surrounding natural environment.
Of course, there are still many cases of invisible drones watching and monitoring the Na'vi indigenous people on the entire planet Pandora.
Under the impenetrable reconnaissance means of the giant corporate fleet, these drones were like electronic ghosts that were a thorn in the flesh, sticking tightly to the air 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 staff members were concentrating on their work, still sitting firmly in front of their respective control consoles.
They obtain the latest news and data from the ground through countless holographic display screens.
Only after properly organizing and summarizing these confusing and complex information will they upload the data in files.
At the control console in the command center, even after giving various instructions and commands for more than ten hours in a row, Li Ang still felt energetic and his mind was active.
Obviously, the system endowed him with endless life and unlimited energy, which were fully demonstrated at this moment.
At this time, Li Ang was silently looking at the holographic ground map that was carefully drawn and modified by staff from various parties.
On this map, which looks like a sand table and is strictly proportional and can shrink details, countless densely packed information annotations are clearly marked out like barrages.
[1086/High-risk creatures/Black-armored giant leopard! ]
[1131/Ordinary Creatures/Spotted Cow]
[1478/Aerial/High-risk Creatures/Balalaurus! ]
【…】
At the same time, this extremely detailed holographic map also presents views of the ground conditions from multiple different angles.
This allowed Leon to clearly and comprehensively see the state of the spirit tree with "fiber optic branches" and the Na'vi people who were conducting mobilization ceremonies in various places on Pandora.
"It seems that the number of spiritual trees on Pandora is much greater than I thought!"
Looking at the various aircraft dispatched from the starship, which constantly marked and reported the "spiritual trees" in various areas, Le Ang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
According to the current situation, the spiritual tree on Pandora is equivalent to a habitable place.
Areas with spiritual trees are suitable for the Na'vi people to reproduce and survive, so the number of Na'vi natives in spiritual tree areas is often relatively large.
If we use the safest estimate, there are at least 800 Na'vi natives near each spiritual tree.
The number of spiritual trees that have been detected and confirmed so far has reached an astonishing 2,000!
This means that LA's ground troops will face the siege of at least 160 million Namei.
160 million alien natives, this is not a small number!
"Boss, do you need us to continue sending soldiers from the starship to the ground battlefield?"
Seeing Leon revealing a thoughtful look, Morgan Blackhand couldn't help but step forward and ask tentatively.
In this interstellar colonization war led by the LA Alliance, there are a total of eight million disposable human soldiers, more than half of whom are clones and replicants.
If they were to go all-in with their ultimate troop expansion, their total strength would reach over 20 million!
Although most of them are robots, other combat mechanical devices, and AI weapons.
"No, there's no need to do that."
Leon shook his head and immediately rejected Morgan's proposal.
The various equipment resources such as soldiers, fighter jets, tanks, etc. that have currently entered a state of war have accounted 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 nibble away at the enemy, and was not in a hurry to start a large-scale war conflict, was actually because he wanted to test the reaction of "Eva".
And now, Li Ang has completely understood "Eva's" processing decisions, as well as her reaction ideas!
"Boss, the frequency of small-scale battles among our ground forces has begun to increase, and the efficiency of our advance has dropped a lot. Is this... really okay?"
Morgan Blackhand looked at the battle reports that kept coming in on the holographic screen, then looked at Le Ang, who was as steady and calm as an old dog. For a moment, he didn't understand Le Ang's thoughts.
When cleaning out the heretic rebels who were hostile to the company on Earth, Leon used all kinds of swift and decisive means.
I wish I could kill immediately those clowns who are hindering the construction of the ideal city.
But on Pandora, all the military action orders given by Leon seemed a little 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 who 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".
As expected, after learning the real mastermind behind this colonial war, Morgan Blackhand instantly got goosebumps!
It turns out that the "enemy" who is manipulating the Na'vi natives and fighting against the LA Alliance is the god "Eva" from Pandora.
"So... it was Eva who used the spirit tree to awaken the natives of this planet and instruct them to take up arms and fight against us?!"
When saying this, even Morgan, who was always calm and steady, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
You said you would beat up those lowly indigenous bastards, but why did you end up facing the level's boss right from the start?
This is not what I expected!
Facing Morgan's surprised question, Li Ang just patted his strong shoulder with a smile and nodded lightly: "Morgan, this is how you work in an LA company."
“Our company’s philosophy is to be efficient and clean.”
"There won't be so many messy tactics, nor so many intrigues. In future interstellar wars, 'decapitation operation' will be our first choice!"
Hearing this, Morgan Blackhand pondered for a moment, as if thinking about something. Leon's various ideas of doing things always gave him a refreshing feeling.
As a subordinate of a boss who doesn't play by the rules, it is indeed difficult for him to guess what the boss is thinking and then act predictively in advance.
"If Eva can use the spirit tree or the neural connection system of the Na'vi to inform them of the next military action, then does that mean..."
At this moment, Morgan Blackhand guessed another horrible possibility.
That is, perhaps "Eva" can also use consciousness control to guide other life forms on Pandora to attack the soldiers on the ground force!
The ferocious 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!
Any living organism that comes into contact with this virus or microorganism will be completely decomposed into nutrients to restart new life on Pandora.
Such a situation is not completely impossible.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Pandora has never been colonized by other advanced civilizations for billions of years, even though there are only low-level indigenous civilizations!
Because the alien visitors have long become part of Pandora and are buried in the planet's crust.
After listening to Morgan Blackhand's series of self-details, Leon was somewhat surprised at the associative ability of the starship executive in front of him.
Good boy! You think better than me.
But we have to admit that all of Morgan’s speculations were also among Leon’s many assumptions!
Although these speculations are somewhat exaggerated, even too bizarre, they are completely contrary to the details shown in the original movie.
But the planet Pandora where Leon is located is not exactly the alien world in the original book. Who can guarantee that the above speculations will not occur!
Therefore, it is better to assume the worst and prepare for the response in advance than to blindly follow the plot line in the original book.
"Morgan, your guess is not unreasonable, but it is unlikely that such an extreme natural disaster will occur for the time being."
Li Ang first praised and affirmed Morgan's amazing details, and then promptly added some detailed information about "Eva" for him.
Combining the abilities displayed by "Eva" in the original movie and the current situation of the ground forces, Eva should only be good at mind control.
At best, he can control the consciousness of alien life forms.
But to think that you can spray out ancient viruses, microorganisms, bacteria, etc. is a bit ridiculous.
For "Eva", the most important thing is to strengthen her own consciousness network system by absorbing the consciousness of the creatures on Pandora.
This means that once human legion soldiers invade or step into too many spiritual tree areas and affect "Eva's" daily eating, it is possible that a full-scale war will result.
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the genetic instinct of any life form and cannot be changed by individual will.
Eva’s first priority for survival is to eat more conscious beings!
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 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.
"So our next goal is to first fully occupy all the spirit tree areas in Pandora?"
"It is better to send only a capable advance team to test the waters and try to connect the matrix to the spirit tree."
Morgan suddenly realized and continued to ask.
After Li Ang's detailed explanation, Morgan Blackhand finally understood what they had been doing these days.
No wonder Leon asked the ground forces to explore the spiritual tree on Pandora in such a detailed and comprehensive manner.
After all this time, it turns out that they were planning to hack into a super planet database called "Eva" and capture the natural AI inside into the matrix!
Moreover, in order to ensure that the "spiritual trees" of each Na'vi indigenous tribe would not have too many differences, Li Ang also sent people to conduct careful observations.
See if there are any different characteristics between these spiritual trees.
Because there is only one chance to arrest "Eva" through the matrix, Leon must ensure a 100% hit rate!
It would be troublesome if the connectivity between any spirit tree and the main server of "Eva" was too poor, causing the matrix program to be detected by Eva before it reached its destination.
After all, Leon can only ensure that the matrix in his hand can pull "Eva" out of Pandora's consciousness network and integrate it into the power grid.
But he couldn't guarantee whether "Eva" had any other means to avoid the Matrix's arrest.
In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Li Ang ordered these aircraft to collect and observe the conditions of each spiritual tree on a large scale first.
Judging from the currently known results, the spiritual tree areas on Pandora are actually all similar, and there are no major differences.
This means that no matter which angle Le Ang uses or which spiritual tree he chooses to insert into the matrix, he will most likely succeed in reaching "Eva" deep in Pandora!
'The time has come, start the war today!'
After Leon made the final decision in his mind, he immediately ordered Morgan Blackhand to continue his advance.
He ordered the advance team of the Iron Hands Astartes Legion, led by V, to take the matrix device to the spirit tree of the Etukon tribe and connect to the roots of the spirit tree!
In addition, in order not to arouse the vigilance of "Eva", Leon will send out several more troops as a feint attack to carry out strikes in other resource areas.
Territories like the suspended stone area, the natural plant area, the animal area, etc., all should be conquered one by one.
In order to prevent their intentions from being too obvious, "Eva" would discover their intentions.
"Yes!"
After receiving Leon's exact instructions, Morgan immediately assigned this crucial decapitation operation mission to the members of V's advance team.
Soon, when the warriors of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Legion realized that their next action was not to confront the main force of the enemy.
Instead, when they occupied an ordinary spirit tree stronghold, the emotions they expressed were somewhat dull.
Is this the only strength? There is no pleasure in crushing the indigenous civilization at all!
"No way! How can this workload justify all the equipment I have?"
Jack Wells smiled carelessly, patted his chest, which was 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 army during holidays, just to see Misty earlier."
Johnny Silverhand, who knew Jack inside and out, mercilessly exposed his shortcomings.
"Go! You're not bad either."
Jack Wells fought back, saying, "With Ott Cunningham, he dared to go to the club and flirt with other girls. He's really brave."
Johnny: “…”
For a moment, the tense atmosphere in the Astartes Legion was dissipated a lot due to Jack and Johnny's jokes.
But having work is better than having no work. After receiving Leon's order, V immediately gave a firm reply 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.
He felt most confident using his own people. If it were another unit to carry out this crucial decapitation operation, he really wouldn't have the confidence.
But if you leave it to V, it will definitely work!
"Boss, if Eva is really connected to our server through the Matrix, will there be any drastic changes on this planet?"
"Or, will it cause some unpredictable turmoil?"
At this moment, Song Zhaomei, who was responsible for managing the daily operations of the matrix, couldn't help but ask Li Ang.
"Also...what should we do with the indigenous people 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 events that happened in North America on Earth from the 17th to the 19th century.
But she didn't think this was a big problem. After all, the survival of interstellar civilization depended on the thoughts of the higher civilization.
In other words, destroying you is none of your business!
Inferior civilizations have no bargaining rights. Their moral systems appear bright and beautiful on the surface, but are in fact extremely fragile. In the vacuum environment of the universe, they cannot show the slightest warmth of civilization.
From the perspective of cruel game theory, giving the opportunity to shoot to other civilized races has long been buried in the long river of time.
Now the only thing Song Zhaomei is worried about is whether there will be immeasurable damage if Pandora loses a macro-system life form like "Eva".
Such as a major earthquake, or some other natural disaster!
After all, no one has dealt with this kind of situation before, and in the absence of experience, it is very important to make all necessary preparations for the aftermath.
In fact, Song Zhaomei's doubts are not unreasonable, and this is indeed the key issue that Li Ang had considered before.
But now, Li Ang has figured out the essence of "Eva"!
"Eva is just a collective consciousness life that accidentally formed on Pandora. Even if we lose one Eva, there will be another one!"
Li Ang's new conclusion directly defined the previously high and mighty Pandora goddess "Eva" as a conscious life form that emerged 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 her own collective consciousness network system.
Pandora also needs a special life form like "Eva" to guard its home and fight against alien invaders.
There is no need to worry about who can't live without whom. 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 indigenous people worship the spirit tree, the tribal custom of uploading the consciousness of the dead will still exist.
As long as the path for uploading life consciousness still exists.
Then even the god "Eva" who has long disappeared will come back to life sooner or later!
"So... Eva can also be mass-produced on Pandora like AI?!"
Li Ang's amazing theory made Song Zhaomei sweat profusely. She seemed to have guessed Li Ang's ultimate goal.
What about arresting Eva and controlling the natives of Pandora for their own use? This is clearly an attempt to cultivate a second matrix generator!
"Xiao Song, you are growing pretty fast."
Seeing that Song Zhaomei seemed to have guessed his thoughts, Li Ang simply solved all her puzzles.
Yes, by manipulating the "Spirit Tree", Pandora, "Eva", and the behavioral habits of the Na'vi indigenous people, "Conscious Life Eva" is continuously produced.
All of this is also part of Li Ang’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, everyone else just thought that Leon was a tyrant who was obsessed with destruction.
But the fact is that demanding the suspended stone resources here is only the superficial level.
Reshaping Pandora's natural laws is the "Heavenly Way" that Leon really wants to implement!
"this……!"
After learning all of Li Ang's inner thoughts, Song Zhaomei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Li Ang always spent so much time thinking in front of the center console.
It was obviously just a simple decision, but Li Ang took a long time to think about it.
At first, Song Zhaomei thought that Li Ang was as nervous as the rest of them, fearing that he would make a wrong move and cause trouble to the ground troops.
As a result, the leaders of giant companies who stand at a higher dimension have already seen the chessboard layout of the next few hundred steps through this small first step!
'This is what we call real careful consideration!'
Seeing that Li Ang had such profound strategic thinking, even Song Zhaomei, who was once the top strategic deduction expert of the Joint Intelligence Bureau, couldn't help but feel stunned and amazed at this moment.
No wonder V, Morgan Blackhand, Ott Cunningham and a bunch of other people would follow Leon and LA Company so willingly.
With such an almost omniscient and omnipotent boss around, no matter what they do, they can achieve the maximum profit with the highest efficiency!
Between eating shit and eating meat, I'm afraid no one would think of choosing the former.
