Chapter 207: Star Explosion and Hole Opening! A Gambler Civilization that only Wants to Get Something for Free!
At this moment, the control consoles of the Wanjie Base were already full of staff in charge of various fields.
After the experience of colonizing Pandora, their work process was not chaotic, and the voices communicating with the frontline personnel were not noisy and impatient.
Everyone reported and received various information to the communicators of the frontline troops in a calm and gentle tone.
And Li Ang stood in front of the central console as always, concentrating on observing the holographic screens in front of him, and marking the data on the screen from time to time.
Just two days ago, the Corey team under Mann told the headquarters that the internal situation of the human city was far more complicated than they imagined.
During this period when there was no pressure strategy implemented by the pioneer civilization and the two sides maintained a peaceful state, the human race actually had internal gaps and factional struggles in the face of a great enemy.
The conservatives wanted to negotiate with the pioneers, and the two sides divided the continents and ruled them separately. Humans only wanted Australia and Antarctica, and the rest of the areas belonged to the pioneer civilization.
But as radicals, the defense forces only want to restart the Hunter Plan, build new mechas and continue to fight against the Pioneers until they win completely.
In addition, there are some traitors who only want to be guides for the Pioneers. These people are mixed in 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 found out some top-secret information that the senior members of the human conservatives exchanged information with the Pioneers.
Once the conservatives succeed in seizing power, human civilization is likely to be completely ruined by these Pioneers' running dogs 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 completely eliminate the traitors within the human race.
And now, Leon naturally wants to support the action planned by Corey and send troops to help the defense forces to find out the high-level traitors inside.
Since the giant enterprise entered the earth of "Pacific Rim", they have been carrying out secret operations.
Even if the conservative executives noticed something, facing the well-prepared giant company, these traitors were powerless.
Coupled with the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus and the pathogens lurking inside the Pioneer, this time Leon will make the final decision and solve all the chaos here by surprise!
If you don't make a sound, you will be shocked.
Leon will also take down the hometown of these Pioneers together!
After the countdown ended, the ground troops had all completed boarding. Leon no longer observed the situation of the troops on the front line, but switched the screen.
He turned his eyes to the monitor screen of the assault team where V was. After waiting for a while, Leon saw V's current environment clearly.
At this moment, V, Li De and others were in the cruiser, patiently waiting for the Pioneer wormhole device to open. They were the spearheads of this assault.
Next, they will take the RCS-class cruiser, enter the wormhole, and arrive at the Pioneer's home planet.
Then the Astartes warriors will take over the planet there.
However, before officially deploying the Astartes warriors, they had to first send a Tyrant Death Squad carrying plasma bombs and hydrogen bombs to enter the Pioneer's home planet to carry out a wave of blasting.
By the way, go over to explore the way and clear a wave of obstacles for the Astartes warriors.
"Thank you for your contribution to the giant company. Your factory number will be forever kept in the company's database as your medal!"
"Now, go and perform your glorious mission."
Jack Wells looked at these Tyrants equipped with special helmets and light armor, and smiled back at them.
These humanoid biological weapons that only know how to perfectly execute orders are the pioneers of their journey and the first bullet of the giant company to wipe out the pioneer civilization.
Soon, the super-large deep-sea vehicle loaded with a large number of Tyrants began to slowly swim towards the wormhole.
Although this disposable vehicle can withstand the high water pressure in the deep sea area, its moving speed is not slow, reaching 160 kilometers per hour.
But this thing is not very defensive and cannot withstand violent impacts. It can only be used as a temporary launch device for the Tyrant.
So AI is needed as a navigation tool to avoid various obstacles on the seabed as much as possible.
With a "beep" sound, some vehicles carrying the Tyrant began to be launched in batches towards the location of the wormhole.
Bang!
The hatch of the cruiser opened, and the turbid sea water rushed in in an instant.
At V's command, the remaining deep-sea vehicles made a slight friction sound under the push of the slide rail, and then were quickly ejected.
Under the automatic positioning of the AI system, this batch of vehicles simply adjusted the lower angle and flew straight to the end of the wormhole.
In the skies over various seas on Earth in "Pacific Rim", there are similar weapon launch operations.
Some cruisers directly sink into the seabed and launch vehicles, while others are like dumplings, opening the hatch and throwing out deep-sea vehicles.
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 are 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 is equivalent to crossing countless light years and arriving in the Pioneer world.
At that time, the command center of the Wanjie headquarters will certainly not be able to contact them.
Therefore, V and his team can only take various actions on their own, and get the coordinates of the planet as soon as possible, and let the scientific researchers take over the Pioneer database.
But Leon has other ways to get in touch with Morgan Blackhand, the commander-in-chief of the front line.
"Understood!"
After Morgan Blackhand closed the communication, he continued to issue orders to the cruisers around the world that were near the wormhole device to prepare for the march.
While waiting for the wormhole to open, he did not forget to have people check all the systems and functions of the cruiser again.
They are fighting alone on this trip, with only an unreliable wormhole device behind them, and they don't know whether they can come back.
So they have to make a foolproof plan in advance.
After a while, the deep-sea vehicle that continuously released the Pioneer DNA information successfully passed through the wormhole device and quickly arrived at the Pioneer's world!
Just as the Pioneer noticed that there seemed to be many inexplicable humanoid devices emerging from the wormhole, a violent explosion suddenly exploded.
Boom--! !
The Tyrant first flew towards the Pioneer through the flight propulsion device on his body, and then activated the self-destruction explosion.
In an instant, hundreds of "suns" exploded in various places on the Pioneer's mother planet, causing a large number of Pioneer casualties.
And five minutes later, before the Pioneer, who was blown up, came back to his senses, one cruiser after another came out of the wormhole!
"It's a pity that the signal was interrupted just now, and I didn't see how our bombs were bombed."
An Astartes warrior in the fleet spoke up.
"No matter how good the bomb is, it is not as good as the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus we prepared this time. That is the real good stuff!"
"Haha! That makes sense. Let's see how effective this thing is."
"..."
At this moment, the fleet of the giant enterprise has passed through the wormhole and arrived at the Pioneer's home planet, Anti!
This is an ancient planet that has entered its old age. Due to the excessive resource development of the Pioneer, the surface of the planet is extremely barren.
Some areas have even penetrated into the mantle, the surface flowing with magma, and the bottomless rift valley, making this planet look like it will fall apart at any time.
The Pioneer civilization has survived for billions of years in this high temperature, high radiation, and highly toxic air environment, and the lifespan of each Pioneer individual is as long as hundreds of thousands of years.
Just when all the cruisers were in place, a cruiser did not follow the large force and continue to carry out combat missions, but took off and came to the orbit of Anti.
That was the RCS-class flagship where Morgan Blackhand was!
"Report to headquarters, we have found a small stable 'wormhole' in the Pioneer's galaxy. Perhaps this is the source of their wormhole technology."
Inside the cruiser, Morgan Blackhand used the AI Red Queen's function of ignoring distance communication to report real-time information to Leon in cyberspace.
In this sea of data, Morgan accessed the various data collected by the starship while asking Leon about the next action decision.
"Wormhole..."
Leon was thoughtful.
From the information sent by Morgan Blackhand, Leon learned that there was a small and extremely stable wormhole outside the star system where Anti Star was located.
Such a technology point, which is a godsend for civilization, has enabled the indigenous pioneers here to master the navigation technology of hyperspace early.
The gravitational waves they raised through the wormhole interact with the gravitational field of Anti Star, generating "ripples" or "gaps".
In conjunction with the fixed device, a series of wormhole channels leading to other areas were built!
Judging from the current resource-poor state of Anti Star, Li Ang guessed that they must have opened wormholes many times to colonize other stars.
But the possibility of opening "gold" in this random wormhole opening is too low.
After all, the universe is so big that the probability of a planet with rich resources and life is lower than that of finding a needle in a haystack.
The Pioneers are like gambler civilizations that rely on exploding their own home planet to get the chance to open a wormhole and colonize other planets.
If you are lucky and open a "golden legend" like the earth, you will make a lot of money and get all the principal and interest back.
If you are unlucky and open a garbage planet with a worse environment than Anti Star, you can only build a new wormhole and continue to gamble.
Obviously, the probability of the latter is much greater than the former.
It is precisely because of this special "God-given thing" that the Pioneer civilization has no idea of developing starships and starting sailing colonization.
For them, it is useless to go through so much trouble to develop antimatter engines and nuclear fusion engines to develop starships.
It's not as convenient as just opening a hole and going to the neighbor's house to steal.
Obviously, no matter whether it's human or alien civilization, no one can resist the temptation of "freeloading"!
"It seems that I overestimated the pioneer civilization. I thought these heretics could develop wormhole devices on their own, but I didn't expect that they still relied on freeloading!"
Li Ang saw the nearly torn-apart planet through the real-time scene of Anti Star simulated in cyberspace, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
Compared with "Eva" of Pandora Star, the Pioneer civilization is simply superior.
But it must be said that the development paths of these two civilizations are quite unique.
Eva achieved interstellar colonization by fishing and adding some civilization.
The Pioneers achieved interstellar colonization by exploding their own home planet and opening a hole.
For humans with the concept of home, such a choice is undoubtedly a "laughing and filial" behavior.
"I didn't expect that this BYD Pioneer civilization is an out-and-out poor gambler!"
Originally, Li Ang thought that he could take over other colonies of the Pioneer civilization on this trip.
But with the Pioneers' unique idea of opening holes, they were able to encounter such a good planet as Earth before the explosion of Anti Star. It was a dog shit luck that their ancestors had accumulated virtue.
Judging from the current situation, the resource-rich planets that the Pioneer civilization can control must be extremely few.
Most of them are ordinary resource stars with little value.
For the pioneers, the Earth in Pacific Rim is already a rare second home.
"Continue to act according to the original plan."
At this point, Leon didn't want to say anything more.
Although flies are small, they are also meat. Let's kill the pioneers here first, and just enslave their top leaders.
As for the remaining pioneer civilians, Leon was too lazy to spend more manpower to rule them.
Let these greedy pioneers try some Giant Enterprise brand Manticore air freshener as a gift to them.
"Yes!"
...
At this moment, the core area of Anti Star, the top of the giant spire of the capital of the pioneer civilization!
In the meeting hall with many holographic screens and a wide space, more than a dozen pioneers are standing together to discuss the colonization of the earth.
At this time, a group of pioneers with slender and long bodies, 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, if converted into the definition of human civilization.
It is a bit similar to religious organizations and bishop positions.
The highest leader of the pioneer civilization is their archbishop, and the bishop pioneers often have the largest and most colorful crowns.
The skin and body tissues that resemble wings behind them are also very bright red, as if they were wearing a red cloak.
At this moment, the pioneer bishops who entered the meeting hall came to their positions in silence.
The archbishop waved his slender fingers, and a holographic image with multiple screens appeared in front of the congressmen.
The content being played on the screen is the human counterattack military action in the Earth colony and the human fleet near the wormhole device.
[Damn humans! How did they get into Anti Star! ]
[Also, what's the matter with these starships? Where do they get the technological capabilities to create such a product! ]
The archbishop sitting on the high seat is the pioneer with the largest crown.
It let out a hissing roar of anger, and through group consciousness, it conveyed its anger to every pioneer.
The archbishop couldn't understand it. It could have been very restrained and didn't carry out any invasion actions against humans.
It even took the initiative to withdraw its troops and handed over the entire Australian territory to humans, just to let humans relax their vigilance.
So that the ghosts it arranged could sabotage the upper echelons of humans, causing humans to fight and kill each other.
In the end, the pioneer civilization would reap the benefits!
But the results showed that humans had developed so many military armed technologies in just a few years.
Endless fighters, powerful ground forces, and giant starships that frightened them.
This was no longer a "technological explosion", but a cheat!
Facing the counterattack launched by humans, all the bishops communicated their inner anger through consciousness, and used "hissing" sounds to tell the next action.
[If that's the case, then we might as well send all the Kaiju out and kill all the humans! ]
[Yes! Exterminate humans without delay. ]
[……]
Just as the bishops were venting their emotions to each other, there were explosions outside.
Boom! !
[What's going on? Could it be that the human fleet has come here? How is this possible? Could it be that they have the technology to jump? ]
The archbishop felt a little incredible. Their wormhole devices were all opened in more 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, who didn't know the truth, hurriedly switched the holographic screen and turned their eyes to the scene outside.
Soon, through the holographic screen, they saw a white energy beam 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 great fluctuations and shocks to the surrounding buildings.
Then, countless low-intensity self-destructing bombs began to land on the ground and released a black fog, which was full of spores of the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus.
When the spores spread rapidly along the shock wave, almost in the blink of an eye, the virus permeated the spire area.
Not long after, the bishops standing on the spire saw a large number of pioneer civilians, who seemed to have been poisoned by the virulent virus and quickly fell to the ground and died.
What's more terrifying is that these spores seem to decompose the bodies of the infected, and continue to clone and decompose more virus spores by decomposing the nutrients of the bodies.
Then continue to spread!
Until all the pioneers are devoured!
Looking at the black spores that symbolize death, they are self-reproducing at an astonishing speed, disintegrating the bodies of the pioneers, and turning into more spores to spread.
As experts in the field of biological genes, they immediately realized what happened.
[It's a virus, this is an extinction virus created by humans! 】
The well-informed 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 had extremely special silicon-based, amino-based, and partially sulfur-based mixtures, had already isolated more than 90% of the viruses.
Even any virus that had appeared on Earth had no effect on the pioneers.
They had learned this through various experiments as early as 20 years ago.
But what was happening in front of them, and why did humans create such a virulent virus!
More importantly, how did these humans cross the wormhole and come to Anti Star.
However, what the bishops did not know was that their Kaiju beasts guarding near the wormhole had already been killed by the giant enterprise's scorpion tail lion virus.
This batch of Kaiju beasts did not even have time to send an alarm to the pioneers through the hive consciousness, and they all died on the seabed.
Then the giant enterprise's fleet began a large-scale reverse invasion, and this group of pioneer civilizations that aimed to colonize the earth were surrounded and wiped out!
[We must leave here as soon as possible and hide on other planets! ]
The Pioneer Archbishop, the supreme commander, immediately decided to ride on the Tail Rat and let these flying Kaiju carry them to the wormhole leading to other planets.
As long as they are not dead, the fire of the Pioneer civilization can be preserved.
After seeing that the Archbishop had made up his mind, the other members of the Bishops immediately echoed and summoned the nearby Kaiju through the hive consciousness.
But before they could wait for the Tail Rat Kaiju, a Storm Eagle gunship 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 imagined attracted their attention.
"V, it seems we have come to the right place!"
Jack Wells showed an excited smile, then jumped directly from the gunboat, and landed safely in the meeting hall with the help of the thick power armor.
Bang——!
Jack raised his hand and fired a tidal bomb pistol, which was like a small hand cannon, directly blasting 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 a huge panic and scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.
But their body structure has destined their own mobility to be quite worrying.
The pioneers who usually can only rely on the chrysanthemum as a means of transportation can't run fast at all.
Immediately, the Astartes warriors who landed in the meeting hall, armed with weapons, killed all the pioneers here one by one.
Only a small number of captured pioneers were retained for the technological research behind the giant enterprise.
The entire decapitation operation took less than six minutes.
