Chapter 200: The Pioneer's Abnormal Technology Points! Full-level Megastructure Upgrade!
'The new alien world this time is actually the Pacific Rim!'
Li Ang looked a little surprised. The difficulty of this dungeon was a little higher than that of the "Underworld", but only a little bit higher.
He needs to mobilize more giant corporate troops and dispatch Infinity-class starships, and the subsequent troubles that need to be dealt with are also rather cumbersome.
However, the overall difficulty of the task is just that.
After all, with the existing technological strength of the Universal Corporation, let alone those giant beasts, even if the pioneer civilization inside came, they would have to crawl under the bombardment of the giant ships.
'Pacific Rim...giant mechas, genetic monsters, aliens.'
Li Ang seemed to be lost in thought. He began to recall many details about Pacific Rim.
In his impression, there is an alien species called "Pioneers" in "Pacific Rim".
They had chosen the Earth as early as the Triassic period and tried to colonize it.
It’s just that the earth’s environment at that time was not suitable for the pioneers to live in, so they waited for a while.
But just by waiting like this, we actually saw the emergence of human civilization after a technological explosion!
Ultimately, all the pioneers' efforts came to naught.
'The pioneer civilization's technological points seem to be biological genes and wormhole technology. Apart from that, there doesn't seem to be any other powerful technological points.'
As his recollections deepened, Li Ang gradually remembered some information about the technological points of "Pioneer".
The pioneer civilization in "Pacific Rim" has advanced biological genes and hyperspace technology.
They can establish "wormholes" to connect other planets with their own home planets through space, thereby realizing remote interstellar colonization operations.
Yes, the "hyperspace technology" of the pioneer civilization is almost equivalent to the beggar's version of "star gate"!
It's definitely not that bad.
However, the Pioneer's technology tree has obvious fatal shortcomings and rather abstract and confusing development ideas.
The core technologies of the pioneer civilization are hyperspace technology and biological genetic modification.
In order to develop these two technological points, the pioneers hollowed out their home planet, resulting in an extremely harsh living environment. However, their lifespan was still long, reaching millions of years.
With such a bug-level technology as hyperspace technology, the pioneer civilization did not think about how to develop starships, mining, and construction technology.
Achieve highly efficient colonial compound interest and plunder more resources.
Instead, they are obsessed with using "genetic modification" technology to create various giant beasts to use as their own offensive weapons and planetary environment modification objects.
This efficiency is really too low.
It feels like giving a 4090 graphics card a crappy i3 CPU, and all the core development resources are thrown away!
"I remember that the Pioneer's wormhole technology seemed to be quite ordinary. Compared with the Stargate, the difference between the two is completely different."
In Leon's impression, the wormhole of the pioneer civilization actually has an upper limit on the energy it can transmit.
Their wormhole device can only teleport 3-4 behemoths at a time, and cannot release large numbers of behemoths at the same time.
In addition, after teleporting the behemoth, the Pioneer's wormhole will have a cooling period of not too long or too short.
Unfortunately, the available resources on their home planet have already been developed to their limit.
If we want to create more wormhole devices, we may have to blow up the stars!
This is also one of the reasons why the pioneer civilization did not adopt the "beast tide tactics" against the earth.
Another reason is that before the pioneers invaded the earth, they were also carrying out colonization operations on other planets, and they were separate bets.
The Earth is just a part of their colonial territory.
But no matter what the reason, the Pioneer's wormhole technology has certain limitations and cannot be compared with Leon's "Star Gate".
Therefore, among the technological points of the pioneer civilization, what Leon is most interested in is their genetic modification technology.
"The Pioneer's behemoth is quite interesting. It can be used to generate electricity or as a biological weapon for a large company. It's a good choice."
Li Ang thought to himself.
He remembered that the pioneers could obtain a large number of biological samples from different planets, combine them with their own genes for breeding and cloning, and eventually produce behemoths weighing 3 to 1 tons.
Yes, this behemoth that is 50 meters tall actually weighs less than tons!
This is what Li Ang finds to be the most outrageous part.
Compare this to Godzilla, whose height increased from 50 meters to 2 meters and whose weight increased from 10 tons to tons.
Even the first generation Godzilla is heavier than the biggest monster in "Pacific Rim".
However, this giant beast transformed by the pioneers is not completely useless.
They have a hive consciousness and can share information and commands, which means that these behemoths can form a highly impactful "beast tide" attack!
In addition, the giant beast's excrement and blood are highly toxic and can cause serious environmental pollution.
Therefore, this giant beast is not very threatening, but it is quite disgusting. Bombarding it with artillery will only result in a lose-lose situation.
Fortunately, Leon happened to have extracted a scorpion-tailed lion virus. He only needed to extract genetic samples from behemoths or pioneers to create a targeted lethal virus.
No surgery or medication required, just a few spores will produce results!
After analyzing the technological points of the pioneer civilization, Li Ang couldn't help but shook his head and chuckled:
"If the pioneers had come to Earth 200 years earlier and released those giant beasts, there would probably be no chance for the humans in Pacific Rim."
"What a coincidence! They caught up with the period of human technological explosion. A 2.6-level civilization was killed by humans who were less than a level 1 civilization."
You know, the Trisolarans, a Level 2 civilization, almost destroyed human civilization.
The Pioneers, an alien species close to level 3 civilization, were humiliated by level 0.8 humans.
This is enough to show how serious the consequences will be if a civilization's technology tree goes astray!
Choice is always greater than effort.
After briefly summarizing the enemy's strength level this time, Li Ang carefully recalled the power situation of humans in the "Pacific Rim" universe.
According to the timeline of the original plot, the first behemoth passed through a wormhole in the Pacific Ocean in 2013 and destroyed cities such as San Francisco and San Jose.
In the end, humans killed it with a tactical nuclear bomb.
But what followed were giant beasts that attacked more and more frequently. These giant beasts from different wormholes appeared at shorter and shorter intervals.
It is obvious that the mother planet of the pioneer civilization has deteriorated to the point of collapse!
The pioneers couldn't wait.
They can't wait to pack up and move in, sitting down in the living room of their new home, which they had chosen as early as the Triassic period. However, humans have used nuclear bombs to fight against giant beasts many times, resulting in nuclear pollution and the poisonous flesh and blood of monsters, which has aggravated the deterioration of the earth's ecological environment.
In order to concentrate their efforts on major tasks, governments and militaries of various human countries have established the "Pan-Pacific Defense Force" alliance organization, abbreviated as "PPDC".
Then, in order to fight against the behemoths sent by the Pioneers, the Defense Alliance chose to build giant mechas to replace the destructive effects of nuclear weapons.
The project is called the "Hunter Mech" plan!
In fact, this is also a choice made out of necessity.
Like the pioneer civilization, the human civilization in "Pacific Rim" also added technological points to the giant mechas that have nothing to do with efficiency.
Compared to developing a deadly targeted genetic virus, a giant mecha that can solve the problem in the short term is a moderate solution that can still be implemented.
In the early stages of the war, the Hunter Plan actually achieved quite good results.
The giant mecha's electromagnetic gun, thermal cutting knife, and gravity fist can all greatly injure the giant beast without causing wounds to spray out poisonous blood.
The speed at which funds and resources are consumed when building giant mechas is also quite astonishing.
On the other hand, the speed at which the pioneers upgrade and cultivate the behemoths is like harvesting leeks, one crop after another grows, and the number is so large that it makes the human government a little frustrated.
When the time in the movie came to 2024, the World Government chose to cut off the funding supply of the Defense Force and instead built high walls to try to resist the invasion of behemoths.
Such an incredibly stupid operation made the pioneers on the opposite side laugh. Their giant beasts ignored the high wall and destroyed it completely with a single fall.
The defense force abandoned by the government gathered the only mechas in service and obtained the key information that the DNA of the behemoth was needed to cross the wormhole.
A mecha named "Danger Wanderer" launched a final raid on a wormhole at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Before escaping in the escape pod, the protagonist's pilot used an overloaded nuclear reactor to destroy the wormhole in one fell swoop, and also carried out a wave nuclear strike on the Pioneer's home planet.
It is a shame for advanced alien civilizations that their homeland was bombarded by an "indigenous" civilization with such a huge gap in strength.
"Now that things have come to this, the explosive wave soldiers go first."
The above plot lines are only based on the development of the original work. Li Ang does not dare to guarantee whether there will be any other changes in his past "Pacific Rim" universe.
For example...what if the protagonist's personal heroic blasting operation fails, causing the earth's environment to further deteriorate?
Without accurate and specific intelligence information, Li Ang cannot make corresponding action decisions.
"This time, we have 10 Infinity-class battleships and 22 armored cruisers. It should be more than enough. We can also clean up the Pioneer Civilization's homeland!"
Li Ang roughly estimated in his mind the number of troops needed for this trip and what preparations should be made.
After thinking it over, he was about to exit the system interface, but he found that there was an extra task in this mission of conquering the heavens and alien worlds!
[Mission: Conquer the Earth in Pacific Rim]
[Status: Unfinished]
[Task Rewards: 10 chances to draw roulettes above level 8, massive enterprise currency value (guaranteed to upgrade the megastructure and item level once)]
[Additional mission: Conquer the "pioneer" alien civilization]
[Task Reward: Full Level Technology Upgrade Points]
……
'Wow, this time I actually triggered an extra mission!'
Le Ang was a little surprised. Conquering the pioneering alien civilization was a piece of cake, but there was actually an extra special reward.
As a Chinese who grew up watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Ang certainly knows the simple truth that "if you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze."
A qualified executive of a global giant company will never leave any hidden dangers for himself, nor will he allow any heretics to become enemies of the giant company!
After accepting this system task, Li Ang took a closer look at the extra reward item - "Full Level Technology Upgrade Points".
'nice one! '
After reading the specific functions of the item, Li Ang's mood became excited again.
Because this so-called maximum-level technology upgrade point is an "experience baby" that can max out the level of any of his giant buildings, or cheat codes such as matrices, gene seeds, and star gates!
As long as Leon is willing, he can upgrade the level of the science hub or star gate to the maximum at any time and unlock more functions.
But unfortunately, this upgrade point can only be used to upgrade one specific item, it cannot be split and used, and there is no room for regret.
Once used, it is irreversible!
Faced with such a rare experience card, Li Ang didn't even think twice and immediately decided to use it on the giant structure of the giant enterprise.
Key prop resources like upgrade points that can speed up the development of giant enterprises are not suitable to be stored and allowed to rot. The sooner they are converted into actual power, the greater the help to the giant enterprises.
This is the same principle as getting the first blood bounty and going home in time to buy equipment and improve combat effectiveness.
Only by converting resources into actual combat power can the role of these resources be truly brought into play.
The upgrade items that Leon prioritizes now are naturally the science hub and the matter decompressor that has not yet been unlocked.
Choose one between the two!
After a brief thought, Leon decided to upgrade the giant structure of the matter decompressor to the maximum level after he got the upgrade points.
As for the reason for giving priority to upgrading the matter decompressor, it is also very simple.
That is, compared with technological points, current giant enterprises need more efficient giant building and a large amount of resources.
Although a fully-leveled science hub is also very useful, it can speed up the research and development of technology points and obtain more and higher-level roulette draws.
But with a fully-leveled mass decomposer, Leon can build more scientific hub megastructures in a short period of time and speed up the reconstruction of the Earth in "Underworld".
You know, every time Leon unlocks a layer of the Universal Enterprise template and obtains a new giant building, the required resources are provided by the system.
This is equivalent to the fact that Le Ang’s first giant building of different types basically relied on free construction resources, which is why his construction speed was so fast.
This is true for the ideal city that took only ten years to build, and the scientific hub that took only three months to complete!
This means that if Leon wants to build a second ideal city or a scientific hub, he has to mine on his own and obtain a large amount of resources for the construction of the megastructure.
However, the current mineral mining volume of the world's giant companies is far from enough to support Li Ang in building a second scientific hub and ideal city.
There is no way. The current productivity of the Universal Giant Enterprise cannot keep up with Leon’s construction speed and his progress in conquering the heavens and other worlds!
