Chapter 189 Civilized Angler! I voted for this project!
"However, Eva's method of civilization evolution is a bit shady, but it is really effective!"
Le Ang couldn't help but marvel at the mystery of the conscious life forms on the planet Pandora, which could even come up with such an unconventional way of civilization development.
It is disgusting, but judging from the number and quality of alien civilizations that "Eva" has captured, its resurrection-style civilization point-adding model has a very high success rate.
Moreover, the level of the captured alien civilizations is not very bad. Some alien civilizations even have low-end space jump technology.
This technology point is incredible.
The difference between an interstellar civilization with space-jump technology and a civilization without this technology is as great as the difference between traveling by rocket and traveling by toy car.
If we follow the normal development model of civilization, from zero to one, from nothing to something, we will slowly add points and upgrade to a certain technological capability.
That not only requires the civilization to have sufficient scientific research capabilities, but also to have enough luck.
Otherwise, this civilization is likely to be enslaved or destroyed by other interstellar civilizations during its development.
"Eva"'s tactic of advancing to retreat and actively using the weak image of indigenous civilization to show weakness to the alien civilization is just like a fisherman setting a nest to catch fish.
But there are quite a few alien civilizations that have taken the bait!
But now, the fishing hook of Pandora Star has fallen into Li Ang's hands, and Li Ang also intends to continue using this "old sinister" routine to fish.
"Eva, I vote for your plan for the development of Pandora's civilization!"
At this time, Li Ang is like a company boss who has chosen a good project, and "Eva" is the poor entrepreneur who was blocked by a giant company halfway through his business.
Since this alien world with rich resources and magnificent scenery is so suitable for attracting other alien civilizations to come and colonize, why doesn't Li Ang take advantage of it?
He personally controls this civilized fishing drama.
Leon learned from Eva's consciousness database that approximately every thousand years or so, it would encounter a reckless alien civilization to carry out colonization activities.
If Leon's Infinity Fleet could suddenly attack these aliens when they are halfway through their colonization, it would be an interstellar "honey trap".
Taking advantage of the situation, we raided the aliens' hometown. This is better than using some crappy detector to collect signals from alien civilizations everywhere.
Even the Trisolarans have to rely on Ye Wenjie to actively send satellite signals before they can navigate to the Earth. There is no reason why Li Ang won’t be able to catch a few big fat fish using this trick of setting a nest for fishing!
Thinking of this, Li Ang grinned, which was very rare for him, just like the expression of the big villain behind the scenes in every hot-blooded animation after his plan succeeded.
This is much more than what he could earn by working like a hardworking ox and exploding Pandora's resources!
This is the corporate style of our Paradox players!
【Sorry, I do not understand what you mean.】
It is not known whether Eva really did not understand or was pretending not to understand, but no matter what Eva thought, Li Ang had already made up his mind about the next plan.
That is, Pandora will still serve as the resource area of LA Company, and Leon will also leave a small number of troops to mine suspended stones.
Of course, the amount of suspended stones needed to maintain the ideal city is not much, so Leon only needs to leave a very small number of human troops to carry out regular supply transportation.
And "Eva" will continue to rule all living things on this planet as Leon's agent, absorbing the consciousness of these creatures to strengthen herself.
However, most of this consciousness energy will enter the matrix server, and "Eva"'s identity will change from an entrepreneur to an employee.
As for most of the Infinity Fleet array, Leon will let them return to the solar system, leaving only 10 Infinity giant ships remaining at the edge of the solar system.
Only the most basic mining and communication troops remain in the Pandora area.
Once an alien civilization sets its sights on Pandora, the Infinity Fleet stationed at the edge of the solar system will immediately initiate a space jump upon receiving the news and launch a sudden attack!
If the alien civilization you catch is weak, then take the opportunity to catch them all at once!
Of course, Leon could also adopt a relaxed and friendly free trade diplomatic approach towards them.
As for the free trade law, Leon believes that no one understands how to play this thing better than humans.
If the alien civilization you encounter is of a higher level, then just call for help and gather a large group of people to attack together.
As long as the alien civilization Le Ang encounters is not an advanced civilization that can casually throw out weapons like the "Two-Dimensional Foil", he can smash the opponent to death with his unlimited Infinity fleet.
Even if we assume the worst outcome, that Leon's fleet is completely unable to defeat the enemy, he can still escape quickly by relying on the Infinity's space jump technology.
If you can't beat him, can you run away?
Li Ang's plan was flawless, as he could attack or defend.
"Eva, I am deeply moved by your honest confession. I have decided to withdraw the starship forces of human civilization and only leave a small number of mining teams for resource collection."
"You can still rule over the creatures on Pandora. I will not interfere with the development of your civilization. On the contrary, I will send people to 'protect' your safety."
"If there is any danger on Pandora, I will rush over as soon as possible and do my best to help you."
When Li Ang said this, even he himself couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
He is obviously the villain involved in interstellar colonization, but how come he suddenly becomes the umbrella for Pandora?
But no matter what "Eva" thinks now, Li Ang took the initiative to show a friendly gesture to "Eva". This is a win-win situation for both parties.
Anyway, the conscious life on this planet has been conquered by LA Corporation.
Leon is the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator on Pandora. He doesn't need to worry about anything happening here after he leaves.
What's more, Pandora is actually not suitable for human colonization and long-term residence at all.
Apart from the fact that the air on this planet is poisonous and it is inherently xenophobic, humans will not lack living space for their ideal city once it is successfully built.
With a population living capacity of hundreds of billions, there is absolutely no need to send more people to alien worlds, where they would occupy the toilet but cannot defecate.
So after comprehensive consideration by Li Ang, Pandora Star is more suitable as bait for fishing!
As a civilized angler, he will surely create glory for a giant enterprise in the world!
Before the confused "Eva" could express her gratitude to Li Ang for his generous gesture.
Li Ang had exited the matrix space early and returned to the real world.
Immediately, under the eager gazes of Morgan and Lucy, Leon quickly came to the central console of the command room and issued new orders to the ground troops.
"Now the soldiers from all units have begun to withdraw to the Infinity starship in an orderly manner. The Astartes Legion advance team is leading the troops to carry out sweeping and investigation work."
“After determining whether the threat of room-temperature superconducting ore has been truly eliminated in the 1247 area, this area will serve as our long-term suspended stone mining resource area.”
"The rest of the ground forces will first escort the Na'vi captives to the starship and collect all the resources on Pandora for subsequent scientific research."
"Finally, we will make a preliminary statistics of all casualties and upload them to the headquarters command room as soon as possible after verification."
"..."
After listening to Leon's instructions and orders, everyone cheered again, because it meant that the war was completely over and they were about to start their return journey!
Return to your home, the ideal city.
However, just as everyone was celebrating the successful end of the war and the successful completion of the colonization operation, Lucy noticed something was wrong.
That is, from beginning to end, Leon never mentioned anything about leaving behind an army to build human buildings and completely colonize Pandora.
The war seemed to be over, but the final result was just a formality, without even the most basic construction work being done.
Lucy was very confused about this.
Could it be that Li Ang forgot about this?
Another person who has the same doubts as Lucy is Morgan Blackhand, a professionally trained commander who has participated in many war operations.
How could Morgan not understand that after occupying the enemy area, he should promptly build corresponding military positions and create a defensive fortress to defend against the enemy.
It is a simple principle to then slowly erode the enemy's territory, or quickly launch a general offensive, until the planet is completely occupied.
Besides, it was Le Ang himself who issued the order to build ground military base facilities and construct basic communication equipment. Why did he suddenly stop?
Strange, very strange! "Boss, if all the troops on the ground are withdrawn, the construction of the base project will not be completed so quickly."
"Should you add one more instruction?"
Morgan Blackhand was worried that Leon might have forgotten about this, so he kindly reminded him.
"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot about this."
Morgan's reminder made Leon suddenly realize that he still had to order the ground troops to clear out unnecessary base construction and additional communication facilities.
Since we want to use this planet as bait to fish for other civilizations, we must of course eliminate as many traces of advanced civilizations on it as possible.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many careless alien civilizations that would be foolish enough to be deceived.
"Morgan, you're right."
Leon smiled and patted Morgan Blackhand's sturdy shoulders. This old friend could always remind him of some imperceptible details at critical moments.
"Notify the ground forces to remove all military buildings, communication facilities, and all equipment and devices that can be recovered. Pack them all up and take them away."
"Leave nothing behind!"
Originally, Li Ang planned to have these soldiers collect and take away the bullet casings and shells they had fired.
But after thinking about it carefully, such a strict order is unlikely to be fully implemented.
So it is enough to just clean up some obvious buildings, and leave the rest to the indigenous Na'vi people here to clean up.
After hearing Leon's unexpected order, Lucy and Morgan were stunned. They wondered if they had misheard the other party's instructions.
If we win an interstellar war but then retreat without completely occupying the resource areas of the planet, then what is the difference between this and losing the war!
Those who didn’t know would think that the human army had suffered a defeat.
Other colonists, after taking over a piece of land, would immediately massacre the indigenous people in the territory to make new land for their own race.
But Leon came all the way here and finally won the battle of interstellar colonization, but instead of killing those troublesome Na'vi people, he gave up the territory to them.
Isn't this just a waste of time?
"Boss, I don't quite understand what you mean. Your order says... that what we should do next is to retreat as a whole army, leaving only the mining team and a small number of legion soldiers behind."
Morgan Blackhand would rather believe that he had heard it wrong than let Leon give up the planet Pandora that they had occupied and go back home.
"Then what should we do with the remaining land resources on Pandora? Are we just going to leave it there like this?"
Morgan tried to keep his tone as tactful as possible and asked in a humble manner. Of course, he did not dare to question Leon's decision.
But such high-level decisions that are too outrageous and beyond the comprehension of normal people are somewhat suspicious and confusing.
"Yes, since our matrix device has extracted the planetary consciousness Eva, there is no need to be so cautious."
Secretary General Lucy, who was standing next to Morgan, couldn't help but advise Leon.
Before the war started, Leon was cautious and careful enough, which was certainly a good thing, and no one would oppose his decision.
But now the war is over and the outcome has been decided. It would be a bit too cowardly to be so cautious.
With the LA company's 200 Infinity warships, even if some alien civilization suddenly appears, they have plenty of ways to deal with such emergencies.
Seeing that Lucy and Morgan were loyal ministers giving advice, Leon told them the content of the conversation between himself and "Eva" and his next plans.
Of course, Leon did not tell them about the "fishing bait" method to lure other alien civilizations to Pandora.
From now on, this matter is the highest level of confidential information within LA company. Only Li Ang knows it, and only he knows it.
Even to his close members, Li Ang would never reveal any information to them.
After all, this is a game that concerns the "survival of civilization". The more people know about it, the lower the success rate.
Soon, when they learned that Leon only planned to mine a small amount of Pandora's suspended stone resources and only leave a small number of troops and mining team members.
No matter how shocked and confused Lucy and Morgan were, they had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
Since Li Ang has made up his mind and made such a decision, there must be reasons for it after careful consideration.
As subordinates, they only have the right to propose, and the final decision is still in Li Ang's hands.
"Yes, we will arrange it right away."
Seeing that Leon had made up his mind, Lucy and Morgan Blackhand did not ask any more questions. They immediately conveyed Leon's words to various departments on the ground.
And in the following period of time, there was the busy post-war cleanup work.
The resources on Pandora mainly include the Na'vi, suspended stones, soil, various minerals, flowers, trees, rare animals, and some microorganisms.
Some of the above resources and items will be packed up and taken away by LA company’s troops.
There is no need to say much about the role of the Na'vi indigenous people. In addition to being used in genetic engineering experiments, they will also be used as trophies to show off the successful completion of this colonial war.
This group of Na'vi will be sent to the human world as exhibits.
Naturally, they are treated with good food, drink and hospitality, but as alien "objects" they are merely given no human rights or rights.
As for the animals on Pandora, alien creatures such as the spotted river beast, hammerhead beast, and black giant panther will of course be arranged in the Ideal City Zoo area.
They are treated the same as the Na'vi, mainly used for exhibitions and genetic engineering research.
The last step is to recycle all useful military equipment and vehicles, such as Dragon assault boats, Scorpion fighters, flapping-wing aircraft and other devices.
Before setting sail back to Ideal City, Leon did not forget to pick a few floating mountains, disintegrate them and load them all onto the Infinity starship.
The reserves of this batch of suspended stone resources are enough to maintain the Ideal City for two thousand years. When they are almost exhausted, the human fleet will come to collect them again.
Before that, Pandora will return to its original natural state, with no other changes except that the goddess "Eva" has become Leon's prisoner.
At the same time, under the arrangement of "Eva", the mining team and liaison team of human civilization have been sent into a secret place where few people go to collect resources.
It is secluded enough and rich in resources, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Na'vi natives.
The daily lives of these humans will be arranged entirely by Eva, and their job on Pandora is to monitor the conditions of the planet.
And collect the mineral resources here.
A few days later, a Skyhawk shuttle flew leisurely over the sky of Pandora.
Standing in the cabin, looking out the window at the alien scenery, Li Ang was deeply moved by the beautiful land he had conquered.
I have to say that the scenery of Pandora is indeed quite dreamy and magnificent. After getting tired of the steel jungle of Utopia, every rainforest in Pandora is so beautiful and charming.
"Two hundred Infinity ships, using their cannons to kill mosquitoes, only managed to get such a small amount of food. It's quite funny."
Li Ang looked at the resource transport planes flying around, constantly traveling between the ground and the sky, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Everything he did seemed confusing, even stupid.
But once this plan succeeds, the rewards that LA company will get will definitely be much greater than simply and recklessly colonizing Pandora!
In fact, in many cases, the workers who use hoes to dig gold mines do not earn as much as the merchants who sell hoes.
A down-to-earth, hard-working and diligent worker cannot climb up the ladder as fast as a sneaky and cunning person.
In the vast universe, only civilizations that are cunning enough are worthy of surviving to the end.
Let's suffer for the alien civilization brother temporarily, and let "Eva" bear the blame. As long as the glory of the world's giant enterprise can benefit the world, it will all be worth it!
