Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

As Meng Chuan left the Hall of Diligent Governance, he suddenly felt that the sky was exceptionally clear.

At least the frustration I felt before has been largely relieved.

He looked at the "Dragon Guardian General" badge that he had just been awarded in his hand.

The cool metallic touch gradually calmed Meng Chuan's chaotic thoughts.

Taking the initiative is definitely a good idea.

It sounds easy, but Meng Chuan was still struggling with which step to take.

Meng Chuan never returned to Old Huang's courtyard house.

Instead, he and Yingdie took a private plane back to the Green Gang headquarters.

Meng Chuan had just returned when he received Zhan Yi's report:

"Master, the Observer's engineering vessel has begun deploying the atmosphere generation device in Mars orbit."

Zhan Yi already knew of the Observer's existence.

It couldn't be kept secret any longer, since the observers had already begun to intervene in the terraforming of Mars as promised.

Everyone on Mars knows this.

Lin Zhou and Wei Ping also truthfully reported the situation to the relevant departments.

If it weren't for Meng Chuan's video, their report would definitely have caused quite a stir.

The higher-ups are now aware of the existence of the observers.

Therefore, their orders were to strictly obey all arrangements made by the Dragon Guard General.

Meng Chuan walked to the screen and looked at the footage that Zhan Yi had filmed and sent back.

Looking at the spaceship in the video that resembled a silver jellyfish, Meng Chuan frowned slightly:

"They're quick."

Meng Chuan paused, then suddenly said to Ying Die:

"Wait, play that video again, in slow motion."

Yingdie immediately took over the computer.

As the image froze on the moment the transparent creature approached the incubation chamber, Meng Chuan pointed to the corner of the screen:

“Look here—as their bodies touched the bulkhead, a faint purple mist rose around their edges.”

"This is……"

Yingdie leaned closer for a look and exclaimed in shock:

"Like signs of energy depletion?"

"good."

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment.

These observers are like vampires in movies who can't be in the sunlight.

They appear to be entities of energy.

As soon as they leave their spaceship, their bodies are exposed to the Martian environment.

Their bodies seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"It's just unclear whether the dissipation of their body's energy is related to gravity or oxygen."

Meng Chuan pondered.

The only known weaknesses of observers are two: one is their fear of gravity.

Another is a fear of oxygen.

The dissipation of their physical energy is due to gravity preventing their bodies from coalescing.

Or is it corroded by oxygen?

"Whatever the reason, if we can lure them to Earth, perhaps we can win without a fight!"

Yingdie said with some surprise.

There must be a reason why these observers have never dared to descend to Earth.

The more they dare not come, the more we will lure them here.

"They might not be willing to come. We were observed by them twice when we were on Mars, but they only sent a signal to contact us after we left Mars orbit. This shows their caution."

Meng Chuan shook his head.

The observer is definitely not stupid.

If they were stupid, their technology wouldn't be so advanced.

Knowing that Earth's oxygen or gravity is harmful to them, they would avoid it at all costs, so why would they come here in person?

"Then what should we do? These are the only two weaknesses we know of. If we don't exploit their weaknesses, we're no match for them at all."

Yingdie said helplessly.

"No, they have another weakness, which is Stardust Titanium Crystal."

Meng Chuan said.

Although Meng Chuan didn't know what Stardust Titanium Crystal was, he was certain they needed it.

However, the fact that they enslave humans or modify organisms to mine Stardust Titanium Crystals suggests that they themselves cannot withstand the radiation from the Stardust Titanium Crystals.

“We don’t even know what Stardust Titanium Crystal is, and according to them, our human bodies can’t withstand radiation. If we come into contact with that stuff, we only have about a year to live.”

"That's what Yingdie said."

"We don't actually need to know what Stardust Titanium Crystal is. We just need to let them know that we have found Stardust Titanium Crystal."

Meng Chuan's thinking was broadened once again.

To fish, you need bait.

Stardust titanium crystal might be the best bait.

"You mean, give them false information? Lure them to Earth?"

Yingdie looked at Meng Chuan with some uncertainty.

"Earth has more oxygen and stronger gravity, so they might not dare to come."

Meng Chuan shook his head:

"But relatively speaking, Mars has very little oxygen and much less gravity. It might be feasible to bring them to Mars."

Meng Chuan currently has no way to deal with these observers remotely.

They are like turtles hiding in their shells.

Only if they voluntarily stick their heads out will Meng Chuan have a chance to fight them.

"Mars, yes, Mars' gravity is one-third that of Earth's, its atmosphere is thin, and there's almost no oxygen..."

Shadow Butterfly immediately thought of the best battlefield:

"Moreover, there are no humans on Mars. Even if a war breaks out, it won't cause much damage. Mars might be the best battlefield."

Meng Chuan nodded in satisfaction:

“That’s right. Earth’s environment is more harmful to them, but Mars’ environment is closer to their ‘comfort zone’—so they might be able to lower their guard.”

"Moreover, they are now getting involved in the terraforming of Mars, so it is perfectly reasonable for us to invite them under the guise of 'cooperative terraforming'."

"If we suddenly 'discover' Stardust Titanium Crystal at this time, do you think they would come and see for themselves?"

Meng Chuan's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Yingdie was also overjoyed, but then she frowned again:

"But while they need Stardust Titanium Crystals, they clearly can't withstand the radiation from them. What if they don't come themselves, but instead send robots, or even modified creatures, to scout ahead?"

Meng Chuan took a deep breath:

"This is indeed a problem. It seems that the bait is not strong enough and we need to increase it. We must increase it so that they will be eager to come down as soon as they hear the news."

Meng Chuan's brows, which had finally relaxed, furrowed again.

The observer was too cautious.

How can we lure them out?

"Another question is, how many of them are there?"

Yingdie continued to ask questions:

"Even if our bait is big enough, they are unlikely to come out in full force."

"There is a high probability that they will send one or two scouts to probe."

“Once we take action against their vanguard, it will be tantamount to a break.”

"The rest of them are probably beyond our ability to handle."

Faced with Yingdie's concern, Meng Chuan nodded again.

This time, to deal with the observer, we must strike decisively.

The principle should be: if you don't act, you don't act at all; but if you do act, you eliminate the root of the problem completely.

And that makes it even more difficult.

Meng Chuan stood up and stood under the lights in the monitoring room.

The light shone on his face, half bright and half dark.

Like his current state of mind.

Half of it was a desperate, all-or-nothing decision.

Half of it is anxiety about the unknown.

Moreover, he had no way out.

Regardless of whether what lies ahead is an abyss or a glimmer of hope.

This move must be made...
