Chapter 205: Pioneer's Genetic Sequence! Resource Trading! Intelligence!

Behind the star gate, there is the headquarters of the Wanjie Base and the command center room.

Li Ang stood in front of the center console as always, summarizing information from all front lines with a few accompanying trusted members.

Looking at the three-dimensional maps with information marked on the holographic screen, Li Ang's slightly frowning brows gradually relaxed a lot.

Through the numerous materials, information, and intelligence coming from the frontline base, Li Ang already has a clearer understanding of the current situation on Earth in "Pacific Rim".

Especially the information from the investigation teams like V and Li De gave Li Ang some other ideas about the monster factory of the pioneer civilization.

Judging from the behemoth tubular petri dishes made by the pioneers, those things similar to plant roots are most likely the behemoth's nutrient delivery tubes.

The high concentration of corrosive acid also confirmed that the behemoth created by the pioneers was a silicon-based creature with extremely strong vitality.

Moreover, these genetic monsters called "Kaiju Beasts" can also spray extremely corrosive venom as an auxiliary means of attack.

This is very similar to the alien in "Alien".

"Boss, after cell dialysis by the Engineering Department, we can confirm that Kaijumon's body contains silicone and amino compounds."

At this time, Lucy had sent the analysis report of the engineering department to Li Ang. Looking at the series of data on the report, Li Ang was suddenly amazed at the pioneer's genetic technology.

Pioneer can fuse the genes of carbon-based and silicon-based organisms, and the behemoths produced also have certain reproductive capabilities.

The vitality of this thing is not much better than that of aliens.

At this moment, Li Ang couldn't help but start to imagine what kind of terrifying monster a biological weapon mixed with a Kaiju beast and an alien would be!

"In addition, we also saw the genetic experiments carried out by pioneers on humans from the photos sent by members of the investigation team."

"I suspect they want to mass-produce a batch of biological weapons similar to humans so that they can sneak into human cities in Antarctica."

Lucy expressed her reasonable speculation while showing the compiled intelligence data to Li Ang.

"Biological weapons similar to humans? So... maybe the genetic monsters of the pioneers have already sneaked into the human city!"

Morgan Blackhand, standing next to Li Ang, immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

With the advanced genetic modification technology of the pioneer civilization, it is not impossible to clone a "humanoid monster" that is completely similar to humans!

Even... the upper echelons of human cities have been mixed with pioneer "ghosts"!

"There is a possibility."

Li Ang affirmed the guesses of his two subordinates.

In fact, the pioneers in "Pacific Rim" have extremely high IQs, and they know how to use strategies to achieve various strategic goals.

Compared with the Trisolarans in "The Three-Body Problem" who relied entirely on technology to crush and bully the Earth's indigenous people, the pioneers here can definitely be called Lao Yinbi in all senses.

For example, they will specially send Kaiju beasts to attack large human cities, and let Kaiju beasts spray venom into human water sources and excrete pollutants.

Chrysanthemum beasts will also be sent to the crater of the volcano to let the giant beasts in to add some violent materials to the volcano, aggravating the volcanic eruption and causing environmental deterioration.

All the above behaviors can show that the pioneers know how to target humans and deal with their pain points with all their might.

In fact, it stands to reason that although silicon-based organisms have an extremely stable crystal body structure, their thinking collapses in a single direction.

It is unlikely to be as complex as carbon-based organisms.

To put it bluntly, the brains of silicon-based creatures are generally not easy to use, but the overall quality displayed by the pioneers is not weaker than that of humans!

Based on the genetic dialysis information Lucy just sent, Li Ang had to suspect that the pioneers were probably half-silicon and half-amino organisms.

To put it simply, these pioneers were a bunch of bastards.

Not exactly a pure silicon-based creature!

"Boss, with our current strength, can we defeat these alien civilizations?"

Morgan Blackhand's expression has become heavier than ever before. If even the giant companies cannot deal with these invaders, then they will have no choice but to withdraw from the Star Gate!

Seeing Morgan and Lucy looking at him eagerly at the same time, Li Ang just smiled indifferently.

With the giant company's current starship strength, destroying the pioneer civilization is completely within reach. This group of minions does not pose a great threat to the giant company.

But the only problem is that Li Ang hopes to achieve the maximum return at the minimum cost.

If starships were rashly used to bombard the Pioneer behemoth army, I am afraid that the earth would be completely polluted by the war to the point where it would be uninhabitable for humans.

By then, the giant companies may have no choice but to transform it into an ideal city, razing all the mountains and seas, and rebuild a new home for mankind.

"I was not sure at first, but now I am sure that these alien heretics are not worth mentioning."

Li Ang already had a definite plan in mind, which was to use the Manticore virus to kill these pioneers and the Kaiju beasts in a targeted manner.

If the Pioneer is a pure silicon-based organism, then Li Ang is not sure whether his virus can achieve a viral attack on the Pioneer.

But now, he already has this confidence!

Before Morgan and Lucy could continue to ask Li Ang what method to take to deal with the pioneers next, the communication from the frontline base caught his attention.

It turned out that it was Mann who reported the situation to Li Ang and reported the situation of everyone in Corey's team to the headquarters.

"Very good, continue to observe and report any situation as soon as possible."

After learning about the news from the front line, Li Ang switched the holographic screen and sent a video communication to the biotechnology department of the giant company.

Soon, Li Ang's old friend Mr. Francis appeared on the screen and took the initiative to say:

"What's wrong, boss, do you need help from our biotechnology department?"

"Francis, now you come to work."

After finishing his words, Li Ang sent Francis the information that Lucy had compiled, as well as the specific functions of the manticore virus.

Before Li Ang could continue, Francis said with a surprised look on his face: "Oh my God, these pioneers can actually mix human genes to create new life forms!"

"Do they want to be creators?"

Li Ang just shook his head and chuckled at Francis's exclamation. With his ability to pioneer civilization, he had no qualifications to be the creator.

"The pioneers will combine their own genes with the genes of other species to transform new life forms."

"This means that their genes are extremely editable and they are not purely silicon-based organisms, so..."

The meaning of Li Ang's words was self-evident. Francis looked at the information about the "Manticore Virus" and then looked at Li Ang's vague smile.

In an instant, he understood Li Ang's true thoughts.

"Boss, are you saying that we can use the Manticore virus to create a super virus that targets the genes of the Pioneers to eliminate them?"

Li Ang nodded and responded:

"good."

"The biological samples brought back by V will be sent to you soon. Then you only need to enter the genetic information into the manticore virus."

"If it is difficult to extract the genetic information from the sample, I can arrange for someone to capture a pioneer or a giant beast alive."

"In short, I don't care what method you use to get rid of this manticore virus as soon as possible. This is the first gift from our giant company in the world to the pioneer civilization."

After getting Li Ang's exact order, Francis immediately agreed.

Since the pioneers can cultivate the genes of other species based on their own genes and create monsters, it means that the possibility of the pioneers being infected by the virus is extremely high!

Combined with the photos of pioneers taken by V on the front line, no matter how Francis looked at them, he felt that these pioneers were not entirely strong and durable pure silicon-based creatures.

The possibility of it being a hybrid is quite high.

"Yes! Boss, our biotechnology department will produce the manticore virus as soon as possible, which is only for the pioneers!"

Of course, Francis would not have any objection to Leon's order.

What's more, if this experiment is successful, their biotechnology department will be listed as the top performer!

…

Antarctica, human city.

In the lower lobby of a slightly remote giant building, Corey and others were patiently waiting for the seller to arrive.

They have received supplies from the frontline base, as well as a large amount of equipment and ammunition, in order to provide a suitable landing place for the base's reinforcements.

Corey has contacted the local gang to buy this chaotic building with many people of different religions.

In exchange, he will pay the other party a batch of precious materials.

There is no way, this is already the most suitable base that Corey can find.

This crowded city has been developed to the extreme, and it is completely impossible to buy an abandoned building that is uninhabited.

A giant building like this in a no-nonsense area is the best base that Corey can find.

Bang!

Soon, the door was suddenly pushed open by someone outside, and the resulting crash suddenly broke the long-silent hall.

Corey raised his eyes and saw that there were dozens of ruffians wearing protective clothing and dressed in exaggerated looks. They were each holding firearms of different calibers and were very arrogant.

The leader was a gang boss wearing sunglasses, an exquisite red Tang suit, and exaggerated gold pointed leather shoes.

"Hello, my name is Hannibal Zhou. I am the largest dealer in this city. As long as you have money, I can get any resources for you."

"Of course, if you have the resources, I can give you anything you want in exchange."

Hannibal Zhou strutted up to Corey, then calmly took out a cigar, lit it, and grinned at Corey:

"Sir, what are you buying this building for?"

As the largest monster dealer in Hong Kong, Hannibal Zhou was engaged in the illegal business of selling various body parts of Kaiju beasts and smuggling various contrabands in the early years.

After the defeat of the human defense force, he spent his money to buy the right to go to this city, and once again used his own skills to start his old smuggling business.

Over the past few years, Hannibal Zhou has made a comeback again and become one of the largest smugglers in the city.

A chaotic building like this one that no one has taken over is his private property, after all, his gang has taken control of it.

"I'm working for our boss. He needs a base to do some business. Can we start trading now?"

Corey didn't want to talk nonsense to the other party. Once he got control of the building, he could ask the forward base to send more soldiers.

"Haha! Of course, our transaction can start at any time, but to be honest, your boss is quite capable."

Hannibal Zhou nodded to his younger brother and asked them to deliver the relevant documents to Corey, while asking someone to check the goods to see if there was any shortage of weight.

"Your boss actually has the ability and means to get so much spot goods. This is not something that ordinary people can do. He has a great background."

"Let me ask you one more question. Can I know what your boss is doing?"

Hannibal Zhou asked Corey after thinking for a while.

Originally, he suspected that the other party might be a fellow smuggler, and also thought about smuggling and selling contraband here, or a gangster doing other business.

But after thinking about it seriously, Hannibal Zhou felt that this was unlikely.

After all, in this city, he is already one of the top super smugglers, and he has friendships with all the other bosses in the same industry.

And Corey's gang of unknown origins looked like they had been soldiers, plus this batch of precious supplies.

This made Hannibal Zhou wonder if the other party was a smuggler within the government!

Otherwise, how could they have so many supplies.

This felt wrong no matter how you thought about it.

"Where do you get so much nonsense? Isn't it enough to pay the money and deliver the goods? Is this what you should ask!"

Steve's temper flared up, and he could only curse at Hannibal Zhou.

Seeing this reckless guy dare to be so arrogant on his own territory, the gangster boy next to Hannibal also drew his gun to confront him.

"Fuck! How the hell did you talk to our boss? Didn't your family teach you not to swear? Do you have any basic manners!"

"My Gan Lin mother!!"

Several gang members who were also hot-tempered rushed in front of Steve with their eyes wide open, and even closed the safety catch of the pistols in their hands.

Faced with this sudden change, Corey and Hannibal Zhou were calm, unlike the younger brothers who were furious and lost their temper.

In fact, Steve's seemingly impulsive behavior was the signal Corey took the initiative to release, that is, the reason why they dared to be so arrogant was because "there were people above"!

How could Hannibal, who had been in the underworld for many years, not receive the hints Corey gave? He just used his brain to think about it and understood the general situation.

Most likely it was a big boss inside the official who wanted to use the hands of his younger brother to go out and make some extra money.

If he offended him, he would not know how he died!

You can offend anyone but the real powerful people.

"Hey! What are you doing? Take all your guns back. Who told you to draw your guns?"

Hannibal Zhou shouted at the younger brothers beside him. He kicked one of them regardless of what Corey said.

Just as an apology to Corey.

"Haha! Mr. Corey, we are little hooligans who make a living, and we are not as good as you who eat public food."

Hannibal has brought his flexible characteristics to the extreme.

He was a little arrogant to Corey just now, but now he immediately changed his face to please.

"Don't worry, as long as you come up with any materials in the future, just come to me, I promise to give your boss a satisfactory price!"

"What's a mere slum building? I have such a giant building in other places!"

Hannibal Zhou rubbed his hands, like a fly on feces, and he couldn't treat money as dirt.

For him, chasing money is the greatest pursuit in his life!

Those who seek wealth absolutely cannot do without the protection of the government.

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Corey smiled.

His goal has been perfectly achieved. This trick of pulling the tiger skin and pulling the flag is still quite useful in human society.

No matter when, the ones who really control violent weapons are always the official forces, not these small hooligans who are tough on the outside but weak on the inside.

After seeing that the other party seemed to have agreed to establish a long-term partnership with him, Hannibal Zhou showed the gold teeth embedded in his mouth and smiled very flatteringly:

"Mr. Corey, does your boss have... Are there any fresh Kaiju beasts? The price of that thing is not worse than that of materials!"

As early as ten years ago, Hannibal was engaged in the smuggling of giant beasts, dismembering various parts of the giant beast's body and selling them to other customers as tonics.

For those with poor kidney function, they can get two kidneys of Kaiju beasts to supplement, and for those with poor appetite, they can get some stomach food to supplement.

In short, the principle of "what you eat is what you get" is implemented.

And now, Hannibal Zhou still wants to continue this business, but unfortunately the supply has been completely cut off.

The corpses of the giant beasts were destroyed by the official people at the first time, and they would not be kept at all, let alone transported to the city!

In other words, except for the people inside the official, others have no channels to get the corpses of the giant beasts.

"What do you want that thing for? Isn't the corpse of the chrysanthemum beast highly poisonous? Do you dare to sell it to others to eat?"

Corey frowned, he didn't dare to imagine how to eat this thing.

The whole body is full of poison and the giant beast has corrosive body fluids. If you take a bite of meat, you will probably ascend to heaven on the spot!

"Haha! Some people want to buy it, and of course some people want to sell it. This is the law of the market. In fact, it's not bad to make soup with a chrysanthemum beast. It won't kill anyone."

After Hannibal Zhou finished laughing, he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Corey:

"Actually, the most critical point is that Kaiju Beast's brain can achieve neural connection with our brain through a special device."

"I guarantee you, this tastes a million times better!"

"As for the price...it's just a little nosebleed."

When he learned that Kaiju Beast's brain had this function, Corey's brows became more and more frowned.

But this is true. In order to "feel good", human beings can pay a huge price to stimulate the secretion of dopamine for a moment, even if it is just a moment of feeling good.

"Is it just for fun? I guess there are other reasons."

Corey once worked as an interrogator in prison for a period of time. He can keenly detect whether the other party is hiding something from him.

If it was just for the pleasure, it might not be worth Hannibal's own risk of official execution to get the Kaiju Beast from outside.

"hey-hey!"

"Don't worry, let's wait until our people finish counting the things and then we'll go into details."

Hannibal Zhou gave up and set his sights on the batch of supplies not far away.

"OK."

Corey had no objections.

Immediately, dozens of gangsters opened the boxes of cigarettes, cigars, alcohol, meat, powdered illegal drugs, and hard currency like gold!

"Oh ho ho! This is vodka and whiskey. It belongs to his grandma. I know that those powerful people enjoy hot and spicy drinks all day long!"

After seeing batches of genuine precious materials, the gangsters present were so greedy that they could not wait to jump on the boxes and drink.

"Mr. Hannibal, can you tell me now all the secrets about Kaijumon's brain?"

Corey still had a sullen face, looked at the other party sharply, and continued to ask.

"No...brother, do you really not know, or are you just pretending to be confused with me?"

Hannibal Zhou originally thought that Corey was just being polite to him.

Unexpectedly, the other party really didn't know the truth about Kaijumon's brain.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't have that much time to play riddles with you." Corey responded coldly.

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

Hannibal Zhou took off his sunglasses, revealing the hideous scratches next to his eyes, and said in a solemn tone:

"After connecting to the Kaiju beast's brain, humans have the opportunity to realize consciousness sharing, that is, to obtain the Pioneer's internal information."

"Once this information is sold to the authorities, it will be a huge sum of money!"

"But in the same way, the Pioneer may also control human consciousness along the nerve sharing. At this time, we can only kill him, and we cannot keep him as a traitor to mankind."

"Mr. Corey, you should understand when I say this!"

In any era, the most valuable things are often not substantive things, but critical enough information, which is intelligence information.

The wealth gap between people is essentially an information gap!

Why there are always people who are able to get there first and why there are always people who can predict events as divinely as possible is precisely because they have enough information channels.

For the current human beings, the most expensive intelligence information is the inside information of the pioneers!

'There is such a thing... This information is incredible. I have to report it to the headquarters in time. ’

Corey nodded thoughtfully. After promising Hannibal Zhou that he would try his best to bring him a Kaiju beast, Hannibal was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Later, under the leadership of Hannibal, he introduced relevant details about this giant building to Corey.

The area of ​​the building where they are located is the most chaotic area of ​​the Antarctic city. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a paradise for crime.

The officials just turn a blind eye to this, and their attitude is whatever they want. As long as they don't collude with the pioneers and become human traitors, that's fine.
