Chapter 188: Shock! Stunned! Weird Civilization Point Allocation Mode!
【Repeat it again.】

["Eva" has been captured, mission completed. ]

【…】

When the highest order from the flagship headquarters command room was clearly transmitted to members of various departments of the ground forces, everyone let out a thunderous roar of excitement as if a burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

In an instant, the cheers of human soldiers resounded throughout the rainforests on Pandora.

The frightened Na'vi natives hiding deep in the jungle could not help but tremble when they saw this, fearing that they would be accidentally discovered by these barbaric sky people.

The warriors of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Legion in the Spirit Tree District still maintained aloof and cool attitudes on the surface, but in fact, everyone was delighted in their hearts.

No one wants to be stuck in the quagmire of colonial wars. Ending the fighting as soon as possible would of course be the best outcome.

"Alas!!"

Jack Wells was so excited that he hugged David beside him, smiled at him carelessly, and said:
"Good boy, you performed very well in this operation. You are even more ruthless than me. Maybe the higher-ups will make you a team leader when you return."

This secret operation was a complete success and everyone will be rewarded according to their merits.

As members of the Astartes vanguard who led the charge, the Company would certainly not treat them unfairly.

When he learned that he had a chance to become a leader of the advance team, David couldn't help but grin and nodded excitedly.

He thought of his mother, Gloria Martinez. How happy she would be if she knew that he had achieved success and became an officer in the company's army!
Under the spiritual tree.

After hearing the reminder from headquarters, V, like everyone else, breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he was the one responsible for accessing the matrix and extracting "Eva", so no one was under more pressure than him.

After seeing that everything was going smoothly as planned, V felt his extremely heavy shoulders finally freed from the shackles weighing tens of thousands of tons.

"Fortunately... everything went well!"

V said in his heart with deep emotion.

In the Infinity fleet near low-Earth orbit, staff from various departments couldn't help but let out thunderous cheers of celebration.

They hugged each other happily and bumped fists to vent the long-suppressed emotional impulses in their hearts.

This is undoubtedly a great day in human history!
However, the staff in the fleet did not remain happy for too long. After a few seconds of celebration, they immediately returned to their respective posts and continued to work.

Although the Na'vi god "Eva" was arrested, the subsequent post-war work was equally busy.

They have to do a good job of follow-up.

Inside the starship's main command center.

"Lucy, I think this day will go down in history!"

Morgan Blackhand smiled easily, looked at Lucy, whose expression was still as cold as frost, and said, "We have only been preparing for this colonial war for three years."

"Before our fleet officially set out, I thought this war would last at least half a year."

"But I didn't expect that it would take us less than a month to end this massive war."

“It’s really unexpected!”

Morgan Blackhand couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he said this. The war ended too quickly, so quickly that he couldn't believe it.

Because if we strictly calculate according to the time of the battle between the two sides, the battle between the ground forces and the Na'vi lasted less than 24 hours!

In other words, the interstellar colonization war that humanity had spent three years preparing for ended up not even lasting a full day.

It was quite enjoyable, but it also left me wanting more.

He originally thought that the LA company's troops would use the Infinity starship to wipe out hundreds of thousands of alien native insects.

But in reality, the total number of Na'vi killed by human soldiers may be less than that of a small-scale battle between the company and the rebels.

At most, there are only a few thousand Na'vi people.

"Morgan, this result is the best outcome for both the winner and the loser of the war."

Lucy did not act as relaxed and happy as Morgan. She had known for a long time that the outcome of this war would be one-sided.

Since the winner and loser have already been determined, of course it would be better to end it as soon as possible. If it is delayed, something unexpected will happen. The worst thing is that the company's troops will be caught in an endless state of war.

In Lucy's opinion, the best mode of war is to decide the outcome in one battle, just like a samurai duel, where life and death depend on a flash of swords and sabers.

Li Ang can exchange the highest war returns for the lowest casualties, which is undoubtedly the best choice for everyone.

"Yes, no one wants the war to continue forever." Morgan Blackhand nodded in approval.

He had also served in the army and knew how horribly war could destroy a person's will.

In many cases, war only leads to a lose-lose situation.

Just as Lucy and Morgan were having a casual conversation.

Le Ang, who was sitting in the center console, had been having a long conversation with Pandora's goddess "Eva" through the matrix device!
In the matrix space, the scene presented is still a blank and seamless world, without high or low, far or near, left or right, there is only the simplest "white".

At this moment, Leon stood in front of "Eva", the conscious life form of Pandora, like an omnipotent God.

But Leon did not act arrogantly like a winner, but negotiated and communicated with Eva calmly.

Under the influence of the matrix's visualization, Eva at this moment was like a tree stripped of its bark, with only the rough roots and slender network structure of tree meridians remaining.

Just recently, this collective consciousness life form that gathered all the life consciousness data on Pandora told Leon in detail many unknown secrets of this planet.

It was almost the same as what Leon had guessed before. The conscious life form on the planet "Eva" was indeed naturally generated from Pandora.

It is not a "tool" used by some advanced alien civilization to colonize Pandora.

This is exactly what Li Ang wants to see.

After all, he didn't want to challenge an alien colonization copy, and continue to challenge the big BOSS of the second stage like playing a soul-based game.

Unless it can explode the gold coins of other alien bosses!
"Symbiotic relationship..."

Li Ang said thoughtfully.

After "Eva"'s self-report, he learned that Pandora was not actually completely controlled by it, that is to say, Pandora was not a puppet planet.

The relationship between Pandora and "Eva" is actually the most common symbiosis in nature.

They are an inseparable community of interests!
Pandora formed a sustainable collective consciousness network system for Eva through the "spiritual trees", animals, plants, and the intelligent Na'vi natives.

Relying on this system of consciousness growth and evolution, Eva became the god of Pandora. It is almost omniscient and omnipotent, and can freely control the consciousness of all living beings on this planet.

Even when facing foreign colonial alien life, Eva has a way to brainwash them, control their consciousness, and make them work for her own benefit!
In other words, Eva is the most terrifying "fangs and teeth" on Pandora.

Any alien invader who dares to underestimate or ignore it will die on this beautiful planet and eventually become nutrients under its soil.

The purpose of Eva's existence is to protect Pandora from interference from external civilizations.

But that's the only result...

This was a bit too normal. Li Ang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what the problem was.

"So, the limit of your ability is just to control the consciousness of the creatures on this planet. You can't cause natural disasters such as earthquakes and ground fissures on Pandora."

Leon looked at Eva and asked tentatively.

[Yes, Pandora and I are actually independent entities. Although I can control all living things on this planet, I cannot make Pandora change the nature and laws for me.]

[In fact, all my efforts are just to ensure that Pandora can continue forever. ]

[Even if I can't do it forever, one day is one day, and this is the meaning of my existence. ]

"Eva"'s voice was as ethereal as the singing of birds in the woods.

Even though it was imprisoned in this unknown space by Leon, it remained fearless and always maintained a dignified, elegant and peaceful mood.

Having experienced, witnessed, and felt the birth and death of countless creatures, Eva has long been accustomed to what life and death are like.

Even if she would be swallowed up by this terrible matrix and become its energy body in the next second, Eva would not feel the slightest fear.

It believes in the law of reincarnation in nature and knows that all things in the world will eventually die and end.

Only this time, it was its turn.

Eva did not think that the impending "death" was anything surprising or worth being shocked about.

An alien civilization with powerful colonial power conquered the macroscopic conscious life forms of Pandora through the Matrix, a dimensionality-reduction-level technological device.

This is enough to show that the person in front of it has the ability to control all the resources of Pandora!
As the guardian of Pandora, I can die without regrets.

After listening to Eva's confession, Li Ang nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Morgan Blackhand's previous guess was indeed too outrageous.

Even the bizarre idea of ​​the earth's crust cracking and spewing out microorganisms and viruses has emerged. This is not the Crazy Mountains in the Cthulhu worldview, where do so many viruses and microorganisms left by the evil gods from outside the domain come from?

"If I take you away, will there be another Eva on Pandora?"

Li Ang continued to ask Eva.

So far, the conversation between Leon and Eva has gone smoother than he had imagined, and both parties are having a frank conversation.

There were no lies, no fraud, only sparks of thought between two civilizations.

Perhaps the more transcendent a life form is, the less it is controlled by biological instinctive emotions. Therefore, when facing Leon's questions, Eva maintained a calm attitude throughout.

The meeting between the two was like a negotiation between old friends. There were no winners or losers, only two purest civilized individuals.

【Will do. 】

Faced with Li Ang's sincere questions, Eva still told him the truth without reservation.

[Pandora has always had its own unique natural laws, unless your civilization can reshape its original appearance and change its natural properties.]

[Otherwise, even if Pandora has lost the collective consciousness network 'Eva', she will use the 'Spirit Tree' to regenerate a new Eva. ]

[It will take thousands of years for a new Eva to form, but she will eventually return to this planet.]

Hearing Eva's overly frank and honest answer, Leon vaguely realized that the other party seemed to be very confident in the natural properties of Pandora.

It does not think that the technological level of human civilization is capable of reshaping the planet.

What a coincidence! The most impressive technological advance of human civilization is the construction of the "ideal city", and this technology can completely reshape the properties of a planet!
As long as Leon is willing, he can hollow out this planet from the inside out and turn it into an ideal city like Earth.

However, in this way, Pandora will lose its strategic value as a resource area.

This is not the result that Li Ang wants to see. After all, it is not in his fundamental interests at all.

"Then if I uproot all the spiritual trees on Pandora, will Eva, the planetary consciousness life form here, continue to appear?"

Li Ang tried his best to keep his tone and manner calm and stable, and not to let out a "hehehe" evil laugh like a villain.

【Will do. 】

[Any existing species on Pandora are produced by its natural properties, unless its natural properties are completely changed from the inside of the planet.]

[For example, hollowing out the core of Pandora and changing the soil of the planet. However, such a huge project would consume far more resources than you can obtain.]

[I believe you won't do such a loss-making business. ]

When answering Leon's questions, "Eva" even thinks from a human perspective and gives her own suggestions.

Through Eva's answer, Leon also gained a more comprehensive understanding of the existence state of Pandora for billions of years.

Pandora is a planet with relatively rich resources, but it is different from other resource planets.

Other resource planets are either inhabited by indigenous civilizations, and in order to obtain them one must first conquer the local indigenous people.

Either the beauty is already taken, or it is a resource area of ​​other advanced civilizations, and if you want to get it, you have to rely on your strength to snatch it away.

Only Pandora is a traitor with a "rebellious" nature. It not only has planetary conscious life forms that interfere with the actions of the colonists.

It will also mobilize all living creatures on the planet to attack the invaders together.

Even if Pandora is conquered, it is not over yet. Eva will assimilate the invader's consciousness and continue to attack the colonists from within.

A resource planet like this one, covered in thorns, really embodies the concept of "disgusting".

"Luckily I upgraded the matrix, otherwise I would have been the colonist backstabbed by Pandora!"

This was the first time in recent years that Li Ang felt sweaty.

Isn't it just a different level? Are there ambushes everywhere?
Even if the spiritual tree dries up, it will regenerate.

Eva dies, and things will eventually restart!
No wonder the level of civilization on Pandora, where the indigenous people are merely unable to complete interstellar colonization, can have such a harmonious and peaceful natural ecological environment.

It turns out that the natural properties of Pandora and the goddess "Eva" are indeed very similar!

The RDA Energy Company in the original book didn’t deserve to lose.

They did run into a tough opponent.

"I didn't expect the water on your planet Pandora to be so deep. No wonder the Na'vi, as an indigenous civilization, have never been enslaved by other civilizations over the past billions of years."

At this moment, Leon couldn't help but secretly thank himself for being cautious enough, otherwise he would have really become a clown and fallen into the Pandora planet full of traps.

If he had intended from the beginning to use the matrix to extract "Eva" for power generation, and then leave the human colonial forces to continue mining.

It won’t be long before the “new Eva” born on this planet will brainwash all the soldiers of the human army and then regain control.

This time, after hearing Leon's sigh, Eva rarely responded, as if she was deliberately hiding some information.

"Eva, if there hadn't been a colonial invasion by our human civilization, what would your evolutionary end point have been like?"

When Leon decided to temporarily leave the matrix space, return to reality, and continue to command the ground troops to make subsequent arrangements, he asked another question that had puzzled him for a long time.

Under normal circumstances, no civilization can continue to rely on its home planet for the survival of the entire race.

Without opening up a grand era of interstellar colonization, both the intelligent species on the planet and the planet itself will inevitably decline and die.

Pandora has a very strong xenophobic nature, which protects itself from invasion by alien civilizations.

There is also "Eva", a collective consciousness life form that is almost against the will of heaven, which can attack or defend and control the consciousness of all living things.

Despite these two incredible technological treasures, "Eva" just sits there on her home planet and has no intention of colonizing other planets.

Could it be that on Pandora, Eva really just intends to be a "hedgehog" that annoys other civilizations and be trapped on a planet forever?

This is what has always been puzzling to Li Ang.

He didn't believe that Eva couldn't see this!
In response to Li Ang's question, "Eva" thought for half a minute before reluctantly explaining to Li Ang a truth that shocked him greatly.

[The end point of our evolution is actually the same as your human civilization. One day we will leave our home planet and carry out interstellar colonization.]

[But we will not develop our own technological civilization, but rely on the power of other civilizations to help us travel to the vast universe. ]

[Any alien civilization that comes to Pandora will have their consciousness assimilated by me over time.]

[I extracted the consciousness and memories of many alien engineers, and mastered their technological knowledge and cultural customs.]

[When the technology points I have accumulated are enough to support the Na'vi to leave their home planet, it will be time for us to start the colonial era.]

As "Eva" finished speaking, Li Ang's expression became complicated.

But the emotions he felt more in were astonishment and sudden enlightenment.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong, it turns out this is the root cause!

This is the ultimate secret of Pandora!
As the god of Pandora, "Eva" never thought of relying on her inner strength to achieve technological breakthroughs.

That is why the Na'vi natives on this planet have always remained in a weak state of civilization in the primitive tribal model.

The purpose is to attract the attention of advanced civilizations, and after observation, they will relax their vigilance towards Pandora and rashly start colonization activities.

After a period of time, Eva will reveal its true terrifying face and absorb the consciousness and memories of these alien engineers and scientists.

This is equivalent to using the technological knowledge of other alien civilizations to light up your own technological points!
This is the real act of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
Thinking of this, Leon immediately used the matrix program to go deep into Eva's internal database and conducted a careful search.

Soon, Leon searched for alien technological knowledge and information that did not belong to this planet in Eva's consciousness network database.

All these evidences show that what Eva said is true, and it is really using this method to carry out the iterative evolution of Pandora civilization!

'Good guy...'

Li Ang was almost dumbfounded, even though these alien technological knowledge were of almost no use to today's LA companies.

But according to Eva's progress in collecting technology points, if it captures at most one more technology point of an alien civilization, it will be able to allow the Na'vi indigenous people to ascend on the spot.

By then, Eva will transmit all the knowledge of alien engineers and scientists into their brains through the consciousness conduction of the "Spirit Tree".

They evolved from indigenous people who could only draw bows and shoot arrows and scream everywhere to aliens who could use guns, cannons, giant ships, and colonizing spaceships in just a blink of an eye!
"Eva", the god believed by the Na'vi, will transform into "Omnissiah" of Pandora, control the consciousness of the Na'vi, and start an interstellar era of their own.

This weird way of civilization evolution that made his scalp tingle and his back chilled really made Le Ang a little at a loss for words.

It is possible that the "New EVA" created by the spirit tree absorbed the consciousness and memory of the engineers and scientists of the LA company and imitated the construction knowledge and technological points of the Infinity.

It is very possible that Le Ang was playing in other worlds when he suddenly discovered that his own ideal city had been attacked by the unethical Na'vi people!

If it really comes to that, Li Ang really doesn't know how to deal with it.

If he were to rewind the levels and force his way back to stop all this, he would also lose a lot of existing technology points.

Fortunately, Li Ang was cautious and careful enough to eliminate such a huge hidden danger for his giant business empire!
