Chapter 207: Star explosion and hole opening! A civilization of gamblers who only want to get something for free!
At this moment, the control consoles in the Wanjie Base were already filled with staff in charge of various fields.

Having had the experience of colonizing Pandora, their work process was not chaotic, and the voices they used to communicate with frontline personnel were not noisy and impatient.

Everyone reported and received various information to the communicators at the frontline troops in a calm and steady tone.

Li Ang stood in front of the center console as usual, concentrating on observing the holographic screens in front of him and marking the data on the screens from time to time.

Just two days ago, Corey's team under Mann told the headquarters that the internal situation of human cities was far more complicated than they had imagined.

During the period when there was no pressure strategy implemented by the pioneer civilization and both sides maintained peace, factional struggles broke out within the human race due to the powerful enemy at hand.

The conservatives wanted to negotiate with the pioneers, and the two sides divided the continents and ruled them separately. Humanity only wanted Australia and Antarctica, and the rest of the area would belong to the pioneer civilization.

But as radical defenders, they only want to restart the Hunter Project, build new mechas and continue to fight against the Pioneers until they achieve complete victory.

In addition, there are some traitors who only want to be guides for the pioneers. These people mingle among the conservatives and radicals, and use the brains of Kaiju from time to time to communicate with the pioneers.

In such a complex and chaotic situation, Corey also learned some top-secret information between high-level human conservatives and the pioneers.

Once the conservatives succeed in seizing power, human civilization will most likely be completely destroyed by these pioneers' lackeys and traitors!
Therefore, Corey contacted the defense forces in time and explained the intention of the giant enterprise.

And they are willing to provide them with firepower and reinforcements to help them completely eliminate the traitors within the human race.

And now, Leon naturally has to support the action planned by Corey and send troops to help the defense force to find out the high-level traitors within.

Ever since Megacorp entered the Earth of Pacific Rim, they have been carrying out secret operations.

Even if the conservative executives were aware of it, these traitors would be powerless in the face of the well-prepared giant corporate forces.

Coupled with the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus and the pathogens lurking inside the Pioneer, this time Leon will make the final move and resolve all the chaos here with a surprise attack!

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

Li Ang also wants to take down the hometowns of these pioneers as well!
After the countdown ended, all the ground troops had completed boarding. Li Ang no longer observed the situation of the troops on the front line, but switched the screen.

He turned his gaze to the surveillance camera of the assault team where V was. After waiting for a moment, Leon finally saw clearly V's current environment.

At this moment, V, Reed and others are in the cruiser, patiently waiting for the pioneer wormhole device to be opened. They are the spearhead of this assault operation.

Next, they will board an RCS-class cruiser, enter the wormhole, and arrive at the Pioneer's home planet.

The planet was then taken over by the Astartes warriors.

However, before officially deploying the Astartes warriors, they had to first send a Tyrant Suicide Squad carrying plasma bombs and hydrogen bombs into the Pioneer's home planet to carry out a wave of explosions.

By the way, go there to explore the way and clear some obstacles for the Astartes warriors.

"Thank you for your contribution to the giant company. Your factory number will be permanently recorded in the company's database as your medal!"

"Now, go and carry out your glorious mission."

Jack Wells looked at these tyrants equipped with special helmets and light armor and smiled back at them.

These humanoid weapons, which only know how to perfectly execute orders, are the pioneers of their journey and the first bullet for the giant enterprise to annihilate the pioneer civilization.

Soon, the super-large deep-sea vehicle loaded with a large number of Tyrants began to swim slowly towards the wormhole.

This disposable vehicle can withstand the high water pressure in the deep sea, and its moving speed is not slow, reaching 160 kilometers per hour.

But this thing's defensive capabilities are not very good and it cannot withstand violent impacts, so it can only be used as a temporary delivery device for the Tyrant.

Therefore, AI is needed as a navigation tool to allow the vehicle to avoid various obstacles on the seabed as much as possible.

With a "beep" sound, some vehicles carrying the Tyrant began to be launched towards the wormhole in batches.

boom!
The cruiser's hatch opened, and turbid sea water poured in in an instant.

At V's command, the remaining deep-sea vehicles made a slight friction sound under the push of the slide rails, and were then quickly ejected.

Under the automatic positioning of the AI ​​system, these vehicles simply adjusted their direction angles and then flew straight to the other end of the wormhole.

In "Pacific Rim", the same weapons deployment operations are taking place over various oceans on Earth.

Some cruisers sink directly into the seabed and launch vehicles, while others open the hatches and throw out deep-sea vehicles like dumplings.

Seeing that Tyrant biological weapons had been deployed near each wormhole device, Morgan, as the first batch of attackers and the commander-in-chief, continued to report:

"All Tyrants have been deployed, and the first batch of attacks is ready."

Immediately, a response came from the base headquarters:

"The Wanjie Base has received it. Please note that five minutes after the Tyrant enters the wormhole, all cruisers will immediately enter the wormhole and execute the extinction strike plan!"

Once these cruisers pass through the wormhole, it will be equivalent to crossing a distance of countless light years and arriving at the pioneer world.

By then, the command center of the Wanjie Headquarters would certainly not be able to contact them.

Therefore, V and his group can only take various actions on their own, obtain the coordinates of the planet as soon as possible, and let the researchers take over the Pioneer's database.

However, Leon has another way, which is to contact Morgan Blackhand, the commander-in-chief on the front line.

"understand!"

After Morgan Blackhand shut down communications, he continued to issue orders to cruisers around the world that were near the wormhole device to prepare to march.

While waiting for the wormhole to open, he did not forget to have someone check all the systems and functions of the cruiser again.

They were fighting alone on this trip, with only an unreliable wormhole device behind them, and they didn't even know if they could come back.

So you have to make all the necessary preparations in advance.

After a while, the deep-sea vehicle that continuously released Pioneer DNA information successfully passed through the wormhole device and quickly arrived at the Pioneer world!

Just as the pioneers noticed that many inexplicable humanoid devices seemed to have emerged from the wormhole, a violent explosion suddenly occurred.

boom--! !

The Tyrant first flew towards the Pioneer using the flight propulsion device on its body, and then activated the self-destruction explosion.

In an instant, hundreds of "suns" exploded in various places on the Pioneer's home planet, causing a large number of Pioneer casualties.

And five minutes later, before the Pioneers, who were blown to pieces, could come to their senses, a number of cruisers emerged from the wormhole!

"It's a pity that the signal was interrupted just now, so I didn't see how our bombs were going."

An Astartes warrior in the fleet spoke up.

"No matter how good the bomb is, it is not as good as the Manticore virus we prepared this time. That is the real good stuff!"

"Haha! That makes sense. We'll see how effective this thing is then."

"..."

At this moment, the giant enterprise's fleet has passed through the wormhole and arrived at the pioneer's home planet - Anti!

This is an ancient planet that has entered an advanced age. Due to the excessive exploitation of resources by the pioneers, the surface of the planet has become extremely barren.

Some areas have even penetrated deep into the mantle, with magma flowing on the surface and bottomless rifts, making the planet look like it will fall apart at any time.

The pioneer civilization has survived for billions of years in this environment of high temperature, high radiation and highly toxic air, and the lifespan of each pioneer individual is as long as hundreds of thousands of years.

Just when all the cruisers were in place, one cruiser did not follow the main force and continue to move forward to carry out combat missions, but instead took off and arrived in the orbit of Anti.

That was the RCS-class flagship where Morgan Blackhand was!
"Reporting to headquarters, we have discovered a small, stable 'wormhole' in the Pioneer galaxy. Perhaps this is the source of their wormhole technology."

Inside the cruiser, Morgan Blackhand used the distance-ignoring communication function of the AI ​​Red Queen to provide real-time information reporting to Leon in cyberspace.

In this sea of ​​data, Morgan accessed various data collected by the starship and asked Leon about the next course of action.

"Wormhole..."

Li Ang seemed to be thinking about something.

From the information sent by Morgan Blackhand, Leon learned that outside the star system where Anti Star is located, there is a wormhole with small mass and extremely stable state.

Technology like this is a godsend for civilization, allowing the indigenous pioneers here to master hyperspace navigation technology early on.

The gravitational waves they create through the wormhole interact with the gravitational field of Antion, creating "ripples" or "gaps".

Combined with fixing devices, wormhole passages leading to other areas were built!

Judging from the current resource-poor state of Anti, Li Ang guessed that they must have opened many wormholes to carry out colonization in other interstellar spaces.

However, the possibility of discovering "gold" when this random wormhole opens is really too low.

After all, the universe is so vast that the probability of finding a planet with life and rich resources is lower than finding a needle in a haystack.

The Pioneers are like a gambler civilization that relies on blowing up their own home planet to get a chance to open a wormhole and colonize other planets.

If you are lucky and create a "Golden Legend" like the Earth, you will make a fortune and get back all your money with interest. It's a huge profit.

If you are unlucky and open a garbage planet with an environment worse than Antis, you can only build a new wormhole and continue gambling.

Obviously, the probability of the latter is much greater than the former.

It is precisely because of this special "God-given" that the pioneer civilization had no idea of ​​developing starships and starting voyages of colonization.

For them, it is a waste of effort to develop antimatter engines and nuclear fusion engines to develop starships.

It's not as easy as just digging a hole and going directly to the neighbor's house to steal.

Obviously, no one, whether human or alien civilization, can resist the temptation of "getting something for free"!

"It seems that I overestimated the pioneer civilization. I thought these heretic bastards could develop a wormhole device on their own, but I didn't expect that they did it for free!"

Li Ang simulated the real-time scene of Anti through cyberspace. Seeing the planet that was almost torn into pieces, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Compared with Pandora's "Eva", the Pioneer civilization is clearly superior. But it must be said that the development paths of these two civilizations are quite unique.

Eva relies on fishing to add some civilization and achieve interstellar colonization.

The pioneers achieved interstellar colonization by blowing up their own home planet and creating a hole.

For humans who have the concept of home, such a choice is undoubtedly an act of Xiaozi that will make everyone laugh.

"I didn't expect that this BYD pioneer civilization is an out-and-out poor gambler!"

Originally, Leon thought that he could take over other colonies of the pioneer civilization on this trip.

But with the pioneers' unique idea of ​​digging holes, they were able to encounter a good planet like Earth before the explosion of Anti Star. This was really the luck that their ancestors had accumulated.

Judging from the current situation, the number of resource-rich planets that the pioneer civilization can control must be extremely small.

Most of them are ordinary resource stars of little value.

The Earth in "Pacific Rim" is already a rare second home for the pioneers.

"Continue to proceed as planned."

At this point, Li Ang didn't want to say anything more.

Although flies are small, they are still meat. We should kill the pioneers here first and then enslave their top leaders.

As for the remaining pioneer civilians, Leon was too lazy to spend more manpower to rule them.

Give these greedy pioneers some Juqi brand Manticore air freshener as a welcome gift.

"Yes!"

……

At this moment, in the core area of ​​Anti Star, on top of the giant spire of the capital of the Pioneer civilization!

In a spacious meeting hall with many holographic screens, more than a dozen pioneers were standing together, discussing matters concerning colonizing the Earth.

At this time, a group of pioneers with slender and tall figures, larger and redder crowns, and brighter skin behind them walked into the meeting hall.

Just from their appearance, you can tell that the status of this group of pioneers is higher than that of ordinary pioneers!

In fact, they are the highest-level leaders of the pioneer civilization. Their organizational structure and job titles can be converted into the definition of human civilization.

It's a bit like a religious organization and the position of bishop.

The supreme leader of the pioneer civilization is their archbishop, and the archbishop pioneers often have the largest and most colorful crowns.

The skin behind him and the wing-like body tissue were also bright red, as if he was wearing a red cloak.

At this moment, the pioneer bishops who entered the meeting hall came to their seats in silence.

The archbishop waved his slender fingers, and a holographic image with multiple screens appeared in front of the congressmen.

What is being played on the screen is the human counterattack military action taking place in the Earth colonies and the human fleet near the wormhole device.

[Damn humans! How did they get into Anti Planet! ]

[Also, what are these starships? Where do they get the technological capabilities to build something like this?]

The archbishop sitting on the high seat is the pioneer with the biggest crown.

It let out a hissing roar of anger and, through group consciousness, conveyed its anger to the hearts of every pioneer.

The archbishop really couldn't understand it. It could have been very restrained and not launched any more invasion actions against humans.

They even voluntarily withdrew their troops and handed over the entire territory of Australia to humans in order to make humans relax their vigilance.

So that the traitors he arranged could go to the upper echelons of humanity to cause sabotage, causing humans to fight among themselves and kill each other.

In the end, the pioneer civilization will reap the benefits!
But the results show that humans have developed so much military weapons technology in just a few years.

Endless fighter jets, powerful ground forces, and giant starships that daunt them.

This is no longer a "technological explosion", but a cheat!

Faced with the counterattack launched by humans, all the bishops communicated with each other through consciousness, conveyed their inner anger to each other, and used "hissing" sounds to tell each other what to do next.

[If that's the case, then we should just send all the Kaiju out to kill all the humans! ]

[Yes! Exterminate humanity without delay.]

【…】

Just as the bishops were venting their inner emotions to each other, explosions suddenly sounded outside.

boom--! !

[What's going on? Could it be that the human fleet has arrived here? How is this possible? Could it be that they have the technology to teleport?]

The archbishop found it a little unbelievable that their wormhole devices were all located in relatively remote areas of the planet.

It's been less than ten minutes. How could the human ships that emerged from the wormhole fly here? This is unscientific!

The bishops, not knowing the truth, hurriedly switched the holographic screen and turned their attention to the scene outside.

Soon, they saw through the holographic screen a white beam of energy that suddenly passed over the top of the spire and landed directly in the administrative district not far away.

Accompanied by a loud "boom", the small beam of light hit the earth's crust, overturning it, exploding it, and reducing it to ashes.

The shock wave caused by this high-explosive laser energy also caused huge fluctuations and shocks to the surrounding buildings.

Immediately afterwards, countless low-intensity suicide bombs began to fall to the ground, releasing a thick black fog, which was filled with spores of the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus.

As the spores spread rapidly in all directions along the shock wave, the virus filled the spire area almost in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, the bishops standing on the spire saw a large number of pioneer civilians who seemed to have been poisoned by a virulent virus and quickly fell to the ground and died.

What's even more terrifying is that these spores seem to decompose the bodies of infected people, and by decomposing the nutrients in the bodies, they continue to clone and decompose more virus spores.

Then it continued to spread!

Until all the pioneers are devoured!
Looking at the black spores that symbolize death, they are reproducing themselves at an alarming rate, disintegrating the pioneer's body and turning into more spores to spread out.

As experts in the field of biological genetics, they immediately realized what was happening.

[It’s a virus. It’s an extinction virus created by humans! ]

The knowledgeable archbishop was the first to realize what the black fog was.

In fact, in the impression of the pioneers, whose average lifespan reached hundreds of thousands of years, they had no clear concept of viruses.

The pioneers, who have extremely special silicon-based, amino-based, and partial sulfur-based mixtures, have already isolated more than 90% of the viruses.

Even any virus that has ever appeared on Earth would have no effect on the Pioneers.

They had already learned this through various experiments twenty years ago.

But what is happening before our eyes? Why would humans create such a virulent virus!
More importantly, how did these humans pass through the wormhole and come to Anti?

However, what the bishops did not know was that their Kaiju beasts guarding the wormhole had already been killed by the giant enterprise's Scorpion Tailed Lion virus.

This group of Kaijus all died on the seabed before they even had time to send an alarm to the Pioneers through the hive consciousness.

Then the fleet of the giant enterprise began a large-scale reverse invasion, and wiped out this group of pioneer civilizations that aimed to colonize the earth!

[We must leave here as soon as possible and hide on other planets! ]

The Pioneer Archbishop, who was the supreme commander, immediately decided to ride on the Tailed Rats and let these flying Kaiju carry them to the wormhole leading to other planets.

As long as they are not dead, the flame of the pioneer civilization can be preserved.

After seeing that the archbishop had made up his mind, the other bishops immediately echoed him and summoned the nearby Kaiju through the hive consciousness.

But before they could catch the Rat-tailed Chrysanthemum Beast, a Storm Eagle gunboat had arrived at the top of the spire at some point.

Looking at the Astartes warrior wearing MarkX power armor, who looked like a human but not like a human, all the bishops present were stunned.

Obviously, this "human" who was much larger than they had imagined attracted their attention.

"V, it looks like we've come to the right place!"

Jack Wells showed an excited smile, then jumped directly from the gunboat, and relying on the thick power armor, he landed safely in the conference hall.

Bang-!
Jack raised his hand and fired a Frenzy Bomb Pistol. The weapon, like a small hand cannon, directly blew the archbishop's head into pieces.

The acid and flesh and blood inside exploded all over the ground.

"Hiss!!"

Seeing the archbishop being shot in the head by this terrifying humanoid monster, the other bishops immediately fell into great panic and fled in an instant.

However, their body structure means that their mobility is quite worrying.

The pioneers, who usually can only rely on Kaiju as a means of transportation, cannot run fast at all.

Immediately, the Astartes warriors landed in the meeting hall, armed with weapons, and killed all the pioneers here one by one.

Only a small number of captured pioneers were retained for use in the technological research behind the giant enterprise.

The entire decapitation operation took less than six minutes.
