Chapter 202 Fishing Success! Humanity on the Brink of Extinction! Siege!
Leon withdrew his thoughts and no longer considered things unrelated to the colonization of the Earth in Pacific Rim.

He turned his gaze back to the star gate.

"start to act."

Immediately, Leon gave the order to the frontline soldiers near the base to march.

Then, hundreds of AI drones, under the control of the technicians' programs, successfully passed through the star gate and arrived at the Earth in "Pacific Rim".

The image on the other side of the door was also transmitted to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base via a drone and presented in front of Leon.

After a while, what came into view were ruins of buildings all over the ground and a sky covered with thick clouds, just like the world after the nuclear disaster on the earth in "The Netherworld".

But unlike the cold Earth of Netherworld, the environment here is extremely hot.

According to preliminary reconnaissance by the drone's built-in sensors, the temperature of the earth has reached an astonishing 48 degrees!
"It shouldn't be like this... Why is it so hot here? Could it be that a nuclear explosion just happened?"

Seeing such abnormal data, Li Ang immediately had many guesses in his mind.

But he couldn't jump to conclusions before getting definitive evidence.

Since there will be no errors in the star gate transmission and this is the Earth in "Pacific Rim", then Leon can only find the truth from the timeline.

His top priority now is to find out as soon as possible whether he is late, too early, or just right.

'I hope there was just a nuclear explosion here and I'm not too late.'

Li Ang muttered to himself.

He didn't want the humans here to have been exterminated by the pioneer civilization. If that were the case, it would be another mess left for the giant companies.

Just as Leon was lost in thought, V, who had already entered the other side of the star gate, sent a voice communication to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.

"This is the Astartes ace advance team. The frontline base station has been initially set up. Now we are sending the warriors of each advance team to enter the star gate in an orderly manner."

"Visual assistance has achieved shared connectivity!"

As V finished speaking, more holographic screens were connected to the main console at the headquarters base.

Li Ang also remotely viewed more detailed scenes through the perspectives of advance team members such as V, Jack, and Reed.

Judging from the massively damaged infrastructure there, as well as the large number of scrapped vehicles and dilapidated shops, the humans in that world have suffered an extremely serious devastating blow.

Looking at the lifeless sky and the desolate scene around him, Leon became more and more convinced that they were indeed late.

The timeline of "Pacific Rim" here has probably reached the stage where humans have been defeated and the pioneer civilization has won.

What Leon urgently needs to confirm now is to what extent the humans here have been defeated.

Humans were driven to a designated area by the pioneer civilization, and continued to resist.

Or did all human beings become extinct and be completely replaced by the pioneering civilization?

Soon, Li Ang switched the holographic screen and carefully checked the more detailed environmental data of the earth in "Pacific Rim".

However, the result displayed on the screen immediately shocked Leon. The oxygen content of this earth was less than 8%.

The carbon dioxide content is as high as 20%, and even ammonia, which is highly toxic to humans, accounts for 7%.

It is obvious that the pioneer civilization's earth transformation plan has been a great success, and the humans here have truly been defeated!

In fact, as early as when the AI ​​drones crossed the star gate, their built-in detection sensors had already lit up red alarm lights.

This means that the environment is harmful to human survival.

AI drones made of alloys are naturally not afraid of such harsh environments. This is why giant companies always use drones for reconnaissance every time they want to cross a star gate.

If an ordinary soldier wearing ordinary combat uniforms went directly through this star gate and arrived at the Earth environment here, he would probably suffocate or be poisoned to death within two minutes.

Fortunately, the Astartes warriors of the Ace Vanguard are all equipped with MarkX power armor with a filtration system, so they don't need to worry about the toxic environment here.

"Boss, we may be late... It seems that the Earth here has been taken over by another civilization!"

Looking at the dilapidated scene before him, Morgan Blackhand immediately realized that the living environment here was totally unsuitable for normal humans.

It's more like an ecological environment suitable for some other alien civilization!
The earth here...is most likely transformed!

Not only Morgan, but also Lucy, the secretary general of the giant company standing next to Leon, was frowning slightly and thinking silently.

Looking at the various data appearing on the holographic screen, as well as a large amount of red alert information, Lucy also agreed with Morgan's guess.

"Boss, it seems that the opponent we are facing this time is a heretic from another civilization."

"I don't know what their technological level is!"

At this moment, Lucy suddenly felt deeply worried and uneasy about this conquest of the alien world.

Strictly speaking, this was their first encounter with other alien civilizations, and it was completely different from their encounter with the Na'vi indigenous people on Pandora.

It’s okay as long as you can beat them.

If they can't win, I'm afraid they will all be enslaved and imprisoned by the alien civilization on the opposite side!

"Since we are here, let's take them down together."

Li Ang, who already knew the details of the pioneer civilization, seemed quite calm.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the ecological situation of this Earth, he continued to issue orders:
"Notify the members of the Ace Advance Team to find a suitable location near the other end of the star gate and set up an automatic sentry turret."

"Also, send the engineering department's personnel through the star gate immediately. Remember to remind them to equip themselves with their own protective clothing to ensure sealing and pressure retention."

"I don't want to hear that any of you will lose your life here because of a small mistake."

As soon as Li Ang's order was conveyed, the staff at the headquarters sent the information to the front line.

The advance team and the engineering team immediately followed Leon's orders and set up various defensive fortifications near the star gate and built a frontline base.

After seeing the personnel on the other side of the star gate begin to carry out their respective tasks in an orderly manner, Leon paced towards the observation deck at the edge of the base.

Looking at the advance team soldiers and engineering staff who were about to head to the Earth in "Pacific Rim", Li Ang began to think carefully about the next deployment decision.

Lucy followed him to the observation deck. After thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to speak to Leon:

"Boss, the mining team and communications team on Pandora recently discovered some signs of abnormal phenomena."

"Based on the analysis of existing images and video data, the civilization fishing plan we set up may have 'caught' another alien civilization!"

"However, the threat level of this civilization is relatively low. Currently, a survey team has led two Infinity-class starships to Pandora to investigate."

Ever since Leon led the fleet back to Utopia, some people have been puzzled by why the giant company did not colonize Pandora.

In order to let the public know the truth of the matter and not be misled by rumors outside, the giant company has released a notice of the "Civilized Fishing Plan" on its official website.

Although before this, the plan was considered confidential information within the giant company.

But with the rapid development of giant enterprises, in order to boost the confidence of human civilization and promote the strength of giant enterprises, this plan has become an open secret.

The reason for making it public is more for political purposes.

In these announcements, many details of the plan and its implementation ideas instantly dispelled the doubts in the minds of the public and gained everyone's recognition.

Many people refresh the official website of the giant company every day, hoping to see the latest progress of the [Civilized Fishing Plan].

This time, the "unusual movement" coming from Pandora will give the publicity department of the giant company an opportunity to publicize the great success of the plan!

As for whether someone will leak the information to alien civilizations, there is no need to worry about it. Now all humans in the ideal city are under the surveillance of AI Europa.

Li Ang can know the situation in any corner of Ideal City at any time.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to ask the investigator in charge of this incident to be more vigilant."

"Be quick and clean, and don't let any alien heretics go if you can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Li Ang reminded.

"Yes." Lucy nodded in response.

In fact, Leon had already learned about the alien civilization that visited Pandora through the planetary consciousness "Eva" on Pandora.

However, the level of this civilization is relatively low, and it can be regarded as a wandering civilization that occasionally passes by.

They mainly rely on wandering and mining to maintain their fleet's space travel.

To put it bluntly, he is just a cosmic garbage man who is not presentable, a cosmic "beggar" who makes a living by scavenging.

Unlike Leon’s giant company, which not only has the core base of Ideal City, but also has a large number of production lines, a huge fleet, and a scientific hub.

This alien civilization is quite interesting except for its "antimatter engine" technology.

Other technological points are basically useless to giant companies.

Le Ang had originally planned to let go of this alien civilization which was neither tasty nor worth discarding.

But this group of alien civilizations have already set their sights on Pandora, preparing to make it their second home planet and live there for a long time.

Since the fish are delivered to his door, Li Ang doesn't need to be polite to them.

After confirming the true thoughts of this group of alien heretics, Leon immediately ordered AI Europa to send investigators with two Infinity-class starships to rush over and prepare to wipe out the other party.

As the secretary general, Lucy only received the news of the departure of two starships today, so she specifically reminded Leon.

Looking at our own human civilization, under the leadership of giant enterprises, we can easily conquer the universe and annihilate other alien civilizations in the blink of an eye.

However, the humans here are struggling to survive under the threat of heretics, their home planet is in ruins and civilization is about to disappear.

In contrast, the humans in the Utopia are literally living in paradise.

Morgan Blackhand couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his fellow humans on Pacific Rim were living such a miserable life despite being part of the same human civilization:

"Boss, it seems that our company still has a long way to go. Every time I come to a new universe and see the doomsday scenes of different earths, I deeply feel the importance of developing technology."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is a bloody lesson!"

Morgan's words reminded Leon of some of the tragic past of his homeland. Whether it is for the country or civilization, the development of science and technology means the right to survive more often!
Without sufficient scientific and technological power, we will be crushed and oppressed like insects by advanced civilizations.

"Morgan, it's great that you have such a sense of crisis. As executives of a giant company, moving forward, no matter what the means, is your primary task." After saying this to Morgan, Li Ang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Didn’t he come to the alien world to carry out colonization? Wasn’t he the arch-villain of the universe’s giant enterprise? Why did he suddenly have the feeling that he was going to the universe to be the savior?
In the "Underworld" Earth, the giant enterprise annihilated the Underworld with plasma bombs and saved the humans there.

Now on the Earth of "Pacific Rim", Leon has to help deal with the pioneer civilization here and continue to save the human beings here.

I'm so angry... When can I go to the world of "The Three-Body Problem" and feel the feeling of stepping on the Trisolarans and let the singer civilization sing praises for the glory of the giant enterprise?

Let the Zero-Returner civilization become the rule of the giant enterprise and write a new chapter in the laws of cosmic physics.

"Yes, I understand, Boss!"

Morgan responded solemnly.

"Well, prepare for the upcoming battle. Prepare the Infinity-class starships and cruisers. Once the forward base is built, we should move to New Earth."

Leon looked at the large Astartes force advancing towards the star gate and spoke.

"Yes!"

……

At this moment, in the gathering and waiting area of ​​the star gate, a large number of legion soldiers and elite soldiers from various units are lining up in an orderly manner to enter the star gate.

Carrying a large amount of construction materials used for assembly and welding, they are continuously transported to the other end of the star gate by Beamon heavy trucks.

The AI ​​construction robots produced by Ye’s Company also walked into the star gate in groups.

Following the legions on both sides of the convoy were tens of thousands of Astartes warriors and members of the engineering team.

Most of them are staff members of the engineering team, and more main ground troops are still waiting in the back and will enter the star gate last.

As for the sky above the star gate, there were various flying formations. The Storm Eagle gunships carrying the air force members of the regiment were flying forward steadily.

Of course, the most noteworthy is the ace vanguard of the "Iron Hands" regiment.

MarkX power armor is the standard equipment for the top warriors of giant enterprises. This time, in order to fight against the behemoths of the pioneer civilization, many of the advance team warriors are equipped with heavy power armor.

This type of power armor is more durable than the conventional tactical type. Maybe the giant beast will not be able to crush the shell even if it steps on it.

Instead, the warrior's shell will pierce the instep!

Therefore, the shell of the heavy armor is a circle larger than the regular MarkX power armor, and the shell is also painted in a bright red.

Even from a distance, the oppressive feeling of this powerful Astartes warrior is suffocating.

In the Ace Vanguard, every ten people form a standard tactical team.

A team leader armed with a plasma high-explosive sniper rifle, four assaulters with E11 blaster rifles, three demolitionists carrying individual anti-tank missiles, and numerous bombs.

Two machine gunners armed with M56 smart machine guns.

Each member of these combat teams will be equipped with a frenzy bomb pistol.

When performing combat missions, the team leader can also use polymer devices to control 3-4 additional clone soldiers to increase their offensive suppression power.

At this moment, an assault soldier holding an E11 blaster rifle has followed the main force across the star gate and arrived at the city that has become a ruin.

"Huhu——!"

Lieutenant Corey, who started from scratch, is now a regular reserve member of the Astartes Chapter.

After these days of adaptation, he has become accustomed to the strange feeling of being a newcomer, and when he stepped into the star gate, Corey did not feel too nervous.

After all, he is a veteran who has been through the gates of hell and a tough guy. What's more, with so many giant company warriors around him, Corey feels completely safe.

Soon after, the location marked by the team leader appeared on the tactical helmet in front of Corey.

Then, the team leader sent an order through the communication device:

"Everyone, please pay attention. Now head to the building destination two kilometers away, set up a defensive position, and cooperate with Team X308 to build a crossfire line."

"Also, everyone, cheer up! Anyone who dares to drag their feet should go back to the logistics department and do odd jobs. We don't need cowards here!"

The team leader's rebuke was immediately responded by the soldiers: "Yes, sir!"

After receiving the exact instructions, Corey and his teammates began to quicken their pace and head towards their north.

AI aircraft use sophisticated pulse scanners to draw three-dimensional thumbnail maps, which can provide soldiers with a clear and good battlefield view.

It didn't take Corey long to pass through the rubble and arrive at a ruined apartment building.

After ensuring that the apartment building was structurally sound, the team immediately moved inside and each occupied a room in a different location.

Corey came to the window with a wide view, and after setting up his rifle, he reported through the team's voice device:

"Number 5, take your position!"

As soon as the words fell, the voices of other teammates sounded one after another.

"Number 7 is in position."

"No. 9..."

When all the team members were ready, the team leader's voice continued: "For the next three hours, we have to stay here and wait for the follow-up troops to come up and take over."

"understand!"

"clear!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire team fell into silence. Everyone perked up and stared intently at their own reconnaissance area.

……

boom--! !

The flapping-wing aircraft used for reconnaissance quickly shuttled through the ruined city. After positioning, scanning, and a series of building identifications, it was determined that the city was São Paulo.

The dark sky without sunlight could not bring any ray of life to this dead city.

A large number of engineering teams near the star gate are working non-stop to build a frontline base, while the Astartes warriors have set up dense defense points in the area several kilometers around it.

This is to prevent potential enemies from posing a threat to the engineering team members.

Here, under the command of the Wanjie Base Headquarters, the flapping-wing aircraft that was performing a reconnaissance and patrol mission quickly increased its altitude until it reached low-Earth orbit.

When you see the American continent north of São Paulo, all the volcanoes are boiling, gushing and spewing out blood-like magma.

Leon, Morgan, Lucy and others who were sitting at the main console were all stunned with astonishment.

They didn't expect that the earth's natural environment would be transformed into such a horrible state by the pioneer civilization!

"Boss, should we continue to send troops forward to capture some alien heretics?"

Morgan, with a surge of nameless anger in his heart, couldn't help but speak at this moment.

Seeing how the human home planet was being destroyed by the pioneer civilization, Morgan Blackhand wished he could lead a team to wipe out those alien bastards right now.

"No rush, continue to follow the plan."

Li Ang shook his head and rejected Morgan's proposal.

Especially at moments like this, the more we need to remain calm.

"Yes!"

……

A week later.

After the engineering team worked day and night, the functions of each area of ​​the front-line base have basically been unlocked and officially put into use.

Except for a few areas where pipes and devices for filtering the air have not been installed, other areas can be used normally.

Together with the various supplies transported here from the rear, it can fully meet the daily living needs of all personnel in the base for the next two to three years.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base!

After seeing that the facilities on the front line had been almost built, Leon continued to call up the holographic screens in other areas.

The Infinity-class starship, which had already entered the other end of the star gate, has now been launched into the Earth's low-Earth orbit in Pacific Rim.

This time, Leon only dispatched one Infinity-class starship, which was mainly used to cooperate with ground forces to carry out various combat missions.

As for the expedition fleet of the pioneer civilization, it is still being prepared in the back, waiting for the right time to advance to the new battlefield.

Looking at the aerial views and videos taken from various aircraft on the front line, Li Ang's brows furrowed more and more.

It turns out that the real reason why the environment in São Paulo and even the entire earth is so harsh and doomsday-like is the large-scale volcanic activity.

These gushing carbon dioxide gases and boiling magma are the culprits that exacerbate environmental deterioration and rise in global temperatures.

The chain reaction caused by the high temperature of nearly 50 degrees is the rapid rise of sea level.

The melting of Antarctic glaciers has caused the sea level to rise by 60 meters, which has resulted in a large number of coastal cities being buried under the sea along with seaweed.

Only cities in high-altitude areas escaped the disaster, but the harsh environment still caused these cities to become uninhabitable ghost towns!
But through high-altitude shooting of the Infinity-class giant ship and auxiliary photography of various aircraft.

Li Ang and his team members can clearly see that there are several giant cities in parts of Australia and on the glaciers in Antarctica!

These cities are protected by giant walls as high as 300 meters, just like the besieged cities in "Attack on Titan".

"This is the last habitat for humans!"

Li Ang said in a heavy voice.

Australia and Antarctica are the few independent continents on Earth that are not connected to other land plates.

Therefore, when human beings are really facing enslavement by alien civilizations and the risk of life and death, these two places "without human traffic" will be the final destination of human beings.

If we take another step back, civilization will be destroyed and human beings will cease to exist!
