116: Alien Raiders

"The Alien Planet, based on the information we have, is a planet ruled by Lizardmen."

It was still the same conference room within the city wall.

Shortly after Daoist Qingfeng, Yue Shan, and Lei Ming returned to Earth, the military dispatched helicopters to administer high-purity ether to the Eight-Armed Lizardman, locking it in a large iron crate and sending it to an unknown secret base.

Yang Dian and the others, upon receiving the order to withdraw, returned to the conference room to listen to Professor Shen Congnan's scientific briefing.

"Four-Armed Lizardmen are the lowest-tier slaves of the Lizardmen race on the Alien Planet, and also the hosts for the thalamus core."

"Six-Armed Lizardmen are nobles within the Lizardmen race, generally possessing the combat power to wipe out a village."

"Eight-Armed Lizardman is the king of the Lizardmen race; even without the crown, he possesses City-Level combat power."

"Above the Eight-Armed Lizardman, there are also the Ten-Armed Lizardman Emperors and the Twelve-Armed Lizardman God."

"The total population of the Lizardmen race exceeds hundreds of millions, but they are scattered across the Alien Planet, gathered in city-states and villages, with their civilization in the agricultural and hunting eras."

"The thalamus core is an offering from the Lizardmen race to sustain the Lizardman God; only the God, or those blessed by the God, are qualified to consume the thalamus core."

"The hundred-meter giant birds are the divine birds of the Lizardmen race, with a total of 12 of them, all possessing combat power approaching City-Level, residing on the Lizardmen Sacred Mountain."

"The Lizardmen have 13 Sacred Mountains in total, 12 of which are guarded by the 12 divine birds, while the central Sacred Mountain is overseen by the Lizardman God, with the Lizardman Emperors under the Lizardman God's surveillance."

"The reason Daoist Qingfeng and his two companions suffered at the hands of the giant birds is because of 'rule suppression' on the Alien Planet."

"Any ranged attack will be greatly weakened."

"It is temporarily unclear whether 'rule suppression' is a 'phenomenon of Alien Planet repulsion' or due to other reasons."

"In the wilderness of the Alien Planet, there are other super-powered creatures, with the strongest even capable of fighting the Lizardman God, which means there are other City-Level entities on the Alien Planet."

After a brief introduction to the situation on the Alien Planet, Professor Shen Congnan continued:

"Additionally, as mentioned before, between planets, the first observer gains the right of invasion."

"Therefore, currently, Earth is initiating a dimensional invasion of the Alien Planet."

"To give a simple analogy."

"The spatial node that appeared on Earth is only a spatial node with a diameter of 500 meters, and it doesn't occupy any of Earth's resources; its existence even elevated Earth's dimension."

"But upon entering the other side of the spatial node, it corresponds to an area approximately 1600 kilometers in diameter, covering nearly 2 million square kilometers, almost one-fifth of China's land area."

"This area is the overlapping range of the dimensional overlap we see before us, and also the invasion range of this spatial node."

Yang Dian looked at the projection, deep in thought:

"Elder Shen, the dimensional invasion began a few hours ago, so when will it end?"

Professor Shen Congnan looked at Yang Dian, a look of approval in his eyes:

"A very good question."

"I do not know the answer to that question."

Facing Yang Dian's surprised gaze, he smiled and said:

"We are not gods; this is our first time encountering such a situation, so how could we find the answer so quickly?"

"However, we have drawn some conclusions from the dimensional invasion."

"In short, the more impact we have on the Alien Planet, the faster the invasion speed."

"When the invasion is successful..."

A trace of longing erupted in Professor Shen Congnan's eyes.

That was the inherent love for land in the bones of the Chinese people:

"When the invasion is successful, this dimensional area will disappear from the Alien Planet and be anchored to Earth."

"But the size of the spatial node will not change."

"In other words, without changing the surrounding geographical environment, this 500-meter diameter spatial node will transform into a Small World with a diameter of 1600 kilometers and an area of 2 million square kilometers!"

"It will become the blessed lands of Chinese legends, our own 'Hengsha World'!"

Seeing everyone's eyes light up, Professor Shen Congnan continued:

"Of course, these are the benefits that can be obtained after a successful invasion under ideal conditions."

"The more ideal scenario is to continuously expand our influence on the Alien Planet and continuously expand the dimensional invasion area."

"As long as our influence is strong enough, we can even devour an entire Alien Planet!"

At this moment, a flame named ambition burned in Professor Shen Congnan's eyes:

"Everyone, are you ready?"

Li Gui was the first to stand up:

"Expanding our territory is for today!"

Yang Dian, however, was somewhat hesitant.

A single person on 2 million square kilometers of land felt too insignificant.

Using Xinjiang as an analogy.

Xinjiang has a land area of 1.6649 million square kilometers, only 83% the size of the dimensional invasion area.

Putting these 30-odd people in Xinjiang, it wouldn't be like pouring a scoop of water into the ocean, but it would be close.

To increase Earth's influence on the Alien Planet through them?

It felt like a pipe dream.

Shen Nanfei noticed Yang Dian's expression and asked:

"Xiao Yang, what are your thoughts on entering the Alien Planet?"

Yang Dian scratched his head, stood up, and expressed his thoughts.

He finally concluded:

"Elder Shen, I think letting us go to the Alien Planet to cause destruction might be feasible."

"But letting us be permanently stationed on the Alien Planet to increase influence there, that seems a bit off."

"Earth is currently undergoing its second Qi Revival, with frequent Mutant incidents in various regions, and the Special Administration Bureau and Martial Security Bureau are having a tough time."

"For us, as the main combat forces in various regions, to go to the Alien Planet at this time..."

"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Professor Shen Congnan smiled:

"The higher-ups also considered that."

"So, this time, you are not being asked to be permanently stationed, but rather to carry out a decapitation plan."

As he spoke, Professor Shen Congnan pressed the remote control again, and the projection screen changed, showing a person who made Yang Dian feel somewhat surprised, yet also expected.

"William Albert Christian, you know him too, don't you, Xiao Yang?"

Yang Dian nodded.

"Did he reveal something again?"

"Yes." Professor Shen Congnan did not hide it:

"He exchanged 3 pieces of intelligence for an opportunity to enter the spatial node."

"Or rather, his goal in coming to Chengdu has always been the spatial node."

"It's just that he didn't expect us to act so quickly, reacting in a short time, directly sealing off the spatial node, making him lose the chance to enter, and thus he could only exchange intelligence for it."

"So what is his goal?"

Professor Shen Congnan shook his head:

"I don't know."

"Anyway, no matter what his goal is, we only need to know our goal."

"Enter the Alien Planet, execute the decapitation plan, kill the Lizardmen with six arms or more, and lay a solid foundation for the commissar to enter the spatial node later, propagate the spirit of communism, and liberate the enslaved Four-Armed Lizardmen."

"For this mission, the pioneers will be awarded: one First-Class Honor Medal."

"Additional merits will be awarded based on your gains on the Alien Planet."

Yang Dian's eyes lit up.

What is a First-Class Honor Medal?

Besides being an honor and a qualification for promotion, a First-Class Medal also represents merit.

One First-Class Medal is equivalent to 500,000 merit points!

"Elder Shen, when do we enter the spatial node?"

"In two more days."

"During these two days, we need to gather more information to prevent unexpected situations."
