I spent more time in the barracks than in the lab for the next few days, mainly because the professor and the others had no time to bird me, and all their energy was on Jack. By this time, Jack was gradually transforming into a member of the Omadikaya tribe, and he followed the chief's daughter on a daily tour of the mountains and rivers, and he was almost reluctant to break the link.

I seized the opportunity to brush up on some of the world's military knowledge. At present, due to the signing of the Treaty on the Peaceful Uses of Space between countries on the earth, it is required to develop in a peaceful way beyond the earth, so the military base closest to Pandora is located on the earth. But if you ask if the Earth has the military power to support this, then there is. Space carriers capable of transgalactic operations have now become a measure of the military strength of various countries, which is reflected in the fact that after the five permanent members of the United Nations have mastered it, they will jointly issue a statement to stop other countries to study relevant technologies, and then support the work of other giant hostile countries behind their backs.

A military space carrier is enough to defeat a planet, and it will travel faster than the civilian ones we have flown before, but it will take more than three years to arrive. So I'm completely dead, and this war can only be fought by these thousands of mercenaries.

In the last field trial, I learned how to drive armored vehicles during World War I, learned to ride horses, learned the simple common sense of artillery, and so on. This time, I tactfully told the colonel that I wanted to learn some skills, and the latter readily agreed, and then I had a certain understanding of the various ways of driving vehicles in the future technology under this worldview. According to this trend, I estimate that even if the physical body does not become a god, the old driver is sure.

I already had experience of living in a barracks during the last trial, so I got along well with these mercenaries every day. Several people in charge of the base have a good impression of me, because I will write down and report everything the size of sesame mung beans in the laboratory. However, over time, Professor Grace's group's favorability towards me has also decreased visibly (how can it be visibly seen with the naked eye??).

After nearly half a month of peace, one night Parker, the head of the base, called Colonel Miles for a drink, and it was obvious that drinking was secondary, and talking was primary. Considering that I am now my own member of the laboratory, the colonel also called me up.

Parker brought a lot of good wine from Earth, but unfortunately he was the only one who enjoyed it. Colonel Miles and I both felt that a simple beer for the soldiers was king. By the time Parker had jumped up and down to mix his wine, the Colonel and I had already finished a bottle.

"More than ten years ago, those shareholders thought I wasn't making money and kept putting pressure on me. Parker said with a sad face, "Now, those beasts who eat people and don't spit out bones are looking for trouble again, and they think I'm making money too slowly!" "But after all, it's what they say, and you still have to put up with it." The colonel was relieved. "Bear with me, I'll put up with it all the time!" Parker's tone also raised, "How long has it been since I've been back to Earth? No one cares how long I've been exiled in this hell where birds don't, only if I can make money, how much money I can make!"

Colonel Miles and I had a tacit understanding that neither spoke, but chose to take a sip of wine in silence.

After a brief two minutes of silence, Parker calmed down. "We need to start working on renovating the mine. He said, "We have to find a way to get that mystery... The tribes drove out from their tribes. The abundance of ore down there could have quieted the board guys for a while. ”

"I've told Jack to talk to the tribe about this. The colonel replied, "It seems that his report is about to penetrate into the enemy's interior." "I beg your pardon," I began, "men in love have negative IQs, and Jack is now happy to love your little girlfriend every day, and I wouldn't be surprised if he would be the son-in-law of the Omadikaya tribe in the future." ”

"Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I've never believed in the Avatar diplomatic plans of those scientists. Parker shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ling, don't worry, I didn't mean anything about you. "The Boss doesn't need to care about these details," I said indifferently, "I'm essentially a soldier." "Then it seems that the text can't be rectified, so you have to do it?" asked the colonel. "Well, let's not kill it cleanly, bulldoze that tree, and the blue-skinned monkeys will have to move. Parker was still a bit indecisive and unwilling to start a war directly. If he had paid even a little attention to Dr. Grace's report, he would have known that if the World Tree was destroyed, a war between the Na'vi and the Humans would be triggered.

The plan we discussed over the night was met with strong opposition from Professor Grace as soon as it was announced the next day. Parker had to back down, agreeing to give them a few more days to try, while also preparing Colonel Miles to act at any moment's notice. Dr. Grace and his party were not too verbose, and voluntarily withdrew from the Hell's Gate base and ran to the mobile base on Hallelujah Suspension Mountain to continue their "Close to Nature" project. The point is that no one called me when I left, and I thought to myself that this would kick me out?

These scientists are really overestimating how tolerant the company is of them. After Jack smashes the probe of a forklift for the sake of the clan, Parker orders Miles to take control of them.

After being forcibly brought back to the base, Professor Grace completely broke her face with the company, but it also caused Parker to give her another hour. Parker still has some useless humanity, and for him, it would be best if the Omadikaya tribe could relocate peacefully.

I couldn't keep an eye on what was happening at the base, and I was following the Colonel to the World Tree, the ancestral home of the Omadikaya tribe for generations. From a long distance, you can see this tree, which is really huge, almost a thousand meters high, towering into the clouds. The branches are thick and strong, and although they have survived for many years, they still feel alive and prosperous. "Brothers, that's what we're aiming for this time. Colonel Myers broadcast.

At the same time, I also got hints for side quests:

"Side quest triggered:

Expulsion: Destroy the World Tree, the home of the Omakatia tribe, quest reward: Spirit Tree Branch, magic materials.

Do you accept it?"

"Successfully accepted the mission eviction. ”

In my eyes, whether from the perspective of the plot or the richness of the mission rewards, this side quest is not difficult. After about an hour, the gunboat patrol planes were in position, their barrels aimed at the torso of the World Tree.

"Looks like our diplomacy has failed. The Colonel saw that Avatar, possessed by Jack and Professor Grace, was tied to the World Tree, and complained, "Then let's talk with our fists, and use tear gas to drive these monkeys away first." ”

Although the colonel was strong-willed, he did not want to kill indiscriminately, so he only ordered the Na'vi of the Omadikaya tribe to be driven away with tear gas bombs, and did not shoot them directly. Under the effect of tear gas, the Na'vi had to stay away from the World Tree. "Switch to an incendiary bomb and hit me!" the Colonel's order was well executed, and of course the incendiary bomb was not aimed at the Na'vi, but aimed at the World Tree. "It doesn't seem like enough, but the tree is quite hard. The colonel said with interest, "Then change to the main gun!"

At this time, a handful of Na'vi soldiers also gathered, drew their bows and arrows and fired at us. Originally, I thought that I would not be able to penetrate the glass like in the original plot, and the colonel was also full of confidence in the technology of the Terrans, but the first arrow pierced the glass of the command ship and came towards the colonel. Fortunately, the colonel reacted quickly and dodged sideways, and the bow and arrow sank into the instrument behind him, sending out a series of sparks.
