Chapter 23 Ambition and Undercurrent
There were constant curses in the conference room.
The directors of RDA encountered bandits who were tougher than their fists. They were angry and helpless, and miraculously reached empathy with the Na'vi people who were bullied by them.
"quiet!"
The chairman of the board spoke out.
His name is Turo.
As soon as he spoke, the entire conference room fell silent.
"Everyone, don't get into trouble."
Turo said calmly: "They asked us for antimatter, magnetic levitation, and super-light communication technology, proving that even if their technological level is higher than ours, it is definitely not much higher."
Although different civilizations may have different trends in technological development, energy technology is an essential technology for any civilization to enter the interstellar era.
Antimatter is an important branch of energy technology and is generally not missed.
Stars and Stripes asked them for antimatter-related technology, proving that the aliens lacked understanding of antimatter and were not a truly powerful advanced civilization.
"As for their space jump technology."
Turo speculated with certainty.
"Perhaps there happens to be a substance on their home planet that is crucial to space jump technology. As long as this substance is available, any civilization can easily achieve space jump."
"But we are more unlucky. We have not encountered this kind of material in the universe for so long."
The directors looked thoughtful.
The conjecture put forward by Turow is possible because they have experienced similar things.
Just like super-light communication technology.
Before the discovery of the superconducting ore on Pandora, they could not achieve super-light speed communication anyway. However, after the discovery of the super-conducting ore, it did not take long for them to develop a reliable super-light speed communication device.
The universe is random and anything is possible.
"Of course, we cannot rule out that this is a smokescreen to confuse us. Perhaps they deliberately asked us for these three technologies so that we would underestimate them."
"But we don't consider that scenario."
"Because if this is the case, everything we do will be in vain, and there is no need for them to give in to us."
The directors nodded.
If the coalition government is really much stronger than them, why bother negotiating? It can just destroy them directly, and then the troops will come to cover up the water and the earth.
"Assuming their scientific level is close to ours."
"Suppose they only surpass us in certain areas, but not to the extent of crushing us."
"That way, our military would be a threat to them."
"They can refuse to cooperate with us, and we can also expose them, send our troops to Pandora, and plunge their planet into war!"
"This is definitely a situation they don't want to see."
"In this way, although they can eliminate our power on Pandora, we can also fight with them and lose both sides!"
Touro said emphatically: "We are not soft persimmons!"
The directors nodded frequently.
Immediately afterwards, Turo said in a more serious tone: "We have made enough concessions. In the following negotiations, not only can we not make any more concessions, we must also show toughness and let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"
"Let them understand!"
"Working with us to develop Pandora is the best choice!"
"We cooperate! Each takes half!"
In his words, Turo made no secret of his ambition.
He wants to use the power of a company to compete with an entire alien civilization and share the benefits equally in distant Pandora!
Wow!
There was a round of applause in the conference room.
The directors were all moved by Turo's words, and their anxious hearts became calmer. Some even began to fantasize about the rapid development that RDA was about to usher in.
At this time, a director asked: "Chairman, what if they ignore our threats?"
"This is impossible!"
Tu Luo said confidently: "They don't know the coordinates of the earth. Once the cooperation breaks down, they will only be beaten passively!"
"We don't even have to send a fleet!"
"We only need to launch anti-matter bombs at them. They are bombs at 0.7 times the speed of light. They will never be able to intercept them!"
"If cooperation breaks down, none of us will get Pandora!"
"They sure understand that!"
The director thought for two seconds and then asked: "Chairman, what about the reporters on Pandora? If they see aliens, our affairs will be exposed!"
Journalists have always been a thorn in the side of the RDA.
"They're just a bunch of idiots looking for fame!"
Tu Luo said nonchalantly: "Find a reason to send away all the outsiders currently on Pandora. The qualifications of the next batch will be strictly reviewed. Don't let people with real talents and knowledge go to Pandora, and then give them more money to let them go." They are under our control at all times.”
"It will be at least a few years before someone notices something is wrong."
Touro said meaningfully: "Please just imagine, by then, we who are cooperating with alien civilizations and owning half of Pandora - are we still worried about being exposed?"
The directors were all stunned.
turo means
The people present were all human beings. They looked at Tu Luo in silence, with a strong throbbing in their hearts.
Just as the directors were shocked into collective silence by Turo's words, the security guard downstairs was happily fishing.
"Malicious alien civilization?"
The security guard was playing with his mobile phone when he came across a video titled "What should we do when encountering a malicious alien civilization?"
The quality of the video is very high.
The copywriting quoted classics and the special effects budget was sufficient, which allowed him to watch the video completely.
"What else can be done?"
He curled his lips and said: "Of course we must seize the time and destroy them!"
The vast majority of people in the comment section had the same idea as him.
Carrots who love rabbits: Do you know what the dark forest theory is? Every civilization in the universe is a hunter with a gun. It either destroys others or is destroyed by other civilizations!
Black Saturday: Kill them all! no doubt!
Go to the pier and order French fries: you must strike first and don’t believe in the kindness of unknown civilizations, for the sake of our future generations!
"Dark forest, everyone is a hunter with a gun"
"That makes sense."
The security guard crossed out the video thoughtfully.
The next video is "What are our chances of winning in a war with alien civilization".
The security guard watched the video with relish.
The video analyzes the current combat effectiveness of the people on earth, saying that if the people on earth encounter aliens, they will be able to win easily as long as they start a war without the other party knowing the coordinates of the earth.
The next video is about alien civilization again. It talks about how many benefits can be obtained by defeating an alien civilization.
The security guard suddenly became confused.
"Strange, why are you pushing so many videos of fighting aliens?"
Similar scenarios occurred in many places.
Overnight, thousands of videos related to extraterrestrial civilizations emerged on major platforms on Earth.
Each one is well made.
Not only is the copywriting extremely provocative, but the various animated special effects are also fake and real.
But no one noticed this.
Because these videos are only spread among ordinary people and do not keep any records in the database, even the platform itself does not know that they suddenly have so many videos about alien civilizations.
