Chapter Twenty-Three: Ambition and Undercurrents

There was a lot of swearing in the conference room.

The directors of the RDA encounter bandits who are harder than their fists, angry and helpless, magically empathize with the Na'vi who are being bullied by them.

"Silence!"

The chairman of the board of directors spoke up.

His name is Turo.

As soon as he spoke, the entire conference room fell silent.

"Guys, don't mess around."

Touro said calmly: "They ask us for antimatter, magnetic levitation, and faster-than-light communication technology, which proves that their technological level is definitely not much higher than ours." ”

Although different civilizations may have different technological development tendencies, energy technology is an indispensable technology for any civilization to step into the interstellar age.

Antimatter is an important branch of energy technology and is generally not left out.

The Stars and Stripes asked them for antimatter-related technology, proving that the aliens lacked understanding of antimatter and were not a truly powerful civilization.

"As for their space-hopping technology."

Touro speculated firmly.

"Perhaps there happens to be a substance on their home planet that is essential for space transition technology, and as long as there is such matter, any civilization can easily achieve space jump."

"And we are more unlucky, we have not encountered this substance after groping in the universe for so long."

The directors looked thoughtful.

It is possible that the conjecture proposed by Tolo is valid because they have experienced similar things.

For example, faster-than-light communication technology.

They couldn't achieve faster-than-light communication until the discovery of superconducting ore on Pandora, but it didn't take long for them to develop a reliable faster-than-light communication device after discovering the superconducting ore.

The universe is random, and anything is possible.

"Of course, we can't rule out that this is a smoke bomb to confuse us, or maybe they are deliberately asking us for these three technologies so that we can underestimate them."

"But we don't consider the situation."

"Because if that's the case, we're going to do anything in vain, and there's no need for them to make a fool of themselves."

The directors nodded their heads.

If the coalition government is really much stronger than them, then why negotiate to destroy them directly, and then the troops will come to block the water and cover the earth?

"Let's say they're as scientific as we are."

"Let's say they just have some surpass for us in individual areas, but not to the point of crushing us."

"In that case, our army will be a threat to them."

"They can refuse to cooperate with us, and we can expose them and send our troops to Pandora and plunge their planet into war!"

"It's definitely a situation they don't want to see."

"That way, while they can purge us of Pandora, we can also fight them out!"

Touro said conclusively: "We are not soft persimmons!" ”

The directors nodded frequently.

Immediately afterwards, Turo said in an emphatic tone: "We have made enough concessions, and in the next negotiations, not only can we not make concessions again, but we must also show toughness and let them know that we are not easy to mess with!" ”

"Let them understand!"

"Co-development of Pandora with us is the best choice!"

"We cooperate! Half of each! ”

Between words, Touro made no secret of his ambitions.

He wants to compete with an entire alien civilization with the power of a company, and share the benefits equally in the distant Pandora!

Wow!

There was a round of applause in the conference room.

The directors were all moved by Turo's words, and their apprehensions became calm, and some even began to fantasize about the rapid development of the RDA.

At this point, one of the directors asked, "Chairman, what if they ignore our threats?" ”

"It can't be!"

Turo said confidently: "They don't know the coordinates of the earth, and once the cooperation breaks down, they can only be beaten passively!" ”

"We don't even have to send a fleet!"

"All we have to do is fire an antimatter bomb at them, it's 0.7 times the speed of light, and they can't intercept it!"

"Cooperation is broken, and none of us can get Pandora!"

"Surely they understand that!"

The director thought for two seconds and then asked, "Chairman, what about the reporters on Pandora, if they let them see aliens, our affairs will be exposed!" ”

Journalists have always been a big problem for the RDA.

"A bunch of fools who sell their reputations!"

Tulo said disapprehantly: "Find a reason to send away all the outsiders on Pandora now, and the qualifications of the next batch will be strictly reviewed, don't let people with real talents go to Pandora, and then stuff them with more money, so that they are always under our control." ”

"By the time someone notices something is wrong, it's at least a few years later."

Touro said meaningfully: "Imagine that at that time, we, who cooperate with extraterrestrial civilizations and have half of Pandora, are we still worried about being exposed?" ”

The directors were all stunned.

Touro means......

All of them were human spirits, and they looked at Turro in silence, and a strong throbbing throbbed in their hearts.

While the directors were collectively silent by Turo's words, the security guards downstairs were happily fishing.

"Malicious alien civilization?"

The security guard was playing with his phone, and he swiped a video called "What Should We Do When We Encounter a Malicious Alien Civilization".

The quality of the video is high.

The copywriting quoted scriptures and the special effects funds were full, which allowed him to watch the video in its entirety.

"What else can I do?"

He pouted, "Of course I should hurry up and destroy them!" ”

The vast majority of people in the comment section think the same way as him.

Love to eat rabbit's radish: Do you know what the dark forest theory is, every civilization in the universe is a hunter with a gun, either destroy others or be destroyed by other civilizations!

Black Saturday: Kill them all! No doubt!

Go to the dock and order fries: be sure to start first, don't believe in the goodness of unknown civilizations, for the sake of our children and grandchildren!

"Dark Forest, everyone is a hunter with a gun......"

"Makes sense."

The security guard thoughtfully crossed out the video.

The next video is "What are our odds of winning in the war with an alien civilization".

The security guard watched the video with relish.

The video analyzes the current combat effectiveness of the earthlings, saying that if the earthlings encounter aliens, as long as the other party does not know the coordinates of the earth, as long as the war starts, they will be able to easily win.

The next video is about an alien civilization, and it's about the many benefits that can be gained from defeating an alien civilization.

The security guard was suddenly confused.

"Strange, why do you push me so many videos of fighting aliens?"

Similar scenarios are happening in many places.

Overnight, thousands of videos related to extraterrestrial civilizations appeared on major platforms on Earth.

Each one is well-made.

Not only is the copywriting very incendiary, but the various animation special effects are even more fake.

But no one noticed it.

Because these videos are only circulated among ordinary people, and no records are kept in the database, even the platform itself does not know that they suddenly have so many videos about alien civilizations......
