What Was Her Intention?
The human base, though called a base, is more like a city than a base established by a Level 2 Civilization.
From the sky, the base is a network of interconnected facilities: a smelter, an ore processing plant, a dye factory, a log processing workshop, a power plant, a steel mill, a machinery manufacturing plant, a secondary processing plant, a parts processing workshop, and a finished product assembly workshop. There are also human settlements for landing, namely residential areas and office areas. However, these areas are different from the factories; they are directly based on the Landing Ship. Simply put, the residential and office areas are located on the original Landing Ship.
Once the Landing Ship have deployed, their core area becomes the human living and office area, which also serves as the control center for the entire base.
Various types of buildings and facilities stand on the land, resembling a steel city with gleaming sharpness.
The buildings are connected by wide roads, which are covered with layers of special glass and filled with the air necessary for human survival.
The open spaces between the buildings were not wasted; instead, transparent dome-shaped structures were erected there, inside which are recreational areas.
Outside the base, humans cleared out an open space and built it into a large plaza, where the Orbital Mass Accelerator was placed near the base.
As for the ground hardening of the Orbital Mass Accelerator, that's not worth mentioning; enough cement can be produced by mining materials such as stone in the early stages.
With the ground base completed, the next step is naturally for personnel to land, explore for various resources, transport them to the base for processing, and then send them into space.
The first group of people has now begun landing.
At that moment, Yue Yuan also received a proposal.
Yes, Yue Yuan did not go to the ground base with the first batch of landing personnel. Although he also wanted to go up the planet and experience the scenery, as a leader, it was not appropriate for him to go to the ground base at this time.
It's not that there's any danger on the ground, but Yue Yuan felt that it was safest on the Lyra. Besides, if he really wanted to experience the ground environment, he could just get a ground robot to control it; there was no need for him to go there himself.
After reading the proposal, Yue Yuan immediately instructed his assistant to notify scientists and High-Level Personnel from various fields to attend a meeting in the Lyra Conference Room the next day. Those who could not attend in person could participate via video.
Most of the decision-makers were on the Lyra, but many scientists in other fields were on other warships or research ships. In order not to affect the work of these scientists, Yue Yuan did not force everyone to attend in person. After all, he did not expect to decide on the proposal in a single meeting.
As for the content of this proposal, it is actually the same one that Yue Yuan had heard before, regarding the plan to deal with the Dog-Headed Alien.
A day passed quickly.
This time, before the meeting was scheduled to start, Yue Yuan, who had nothing else to do, arrived at the venue early to wait. Soon after, the other attendees also entered the venue one after another.
The so-called Conference Room is actually where Yue Yuan and other decision-makers usually hold meetings. It is located next to the Command Center, separated only by a corridor.
The Lyra very large, but this Conference Room is not. It can only accommodate about a hundred people. However, there were not many people at this meeting, only about thirty or forty people, who were mostly sociologists, biologists, military leaders, and other related scholars.
Since this is the first discussion meeting, no conclusions will be drawn immediately to implement the proposal.
According to procedure, if a majority of people support the proposal at this meeting, it is possible to proceed to the next round of expanded meetings; otherwise, the proposal will be temporarily shelved.
After the more than 30 attendees were seated, plus eight people who participated in the meeting via video, there were a total of 42 people.
"Alright, this meeting isn't anything important, so I won't waste any more time." Once everyone was seated, Yue Yuan, as always, began by speaking first, "I believe everyone has seen the proposal, so let's have the proposer, researcher Xu Peici, share her thoughts."
After speaking, Yue Yuan moved the microphone off the conference table and looked at Xu Peici, indicating that she could speak.
"Ahem!" Xu Peici cleared her throat, then opened her Personal Terminal to check her preparations, and then parted her red lips slightly. "As all my colleagues know, this proposal is about the disposal plan for the Dog-Headed Alien. As I said in the proposal, we should bring them under our control and use them for our own purposes."
I have four reasons. First, the Dog-Headed Alien are intelligent beings and invaluable resources for our human beings in Life Science.
Second, the Dog-Headed Alien are different from the mature Aerospace Civilization of the Kun-Tai Civilization. Their social structure is in the transition from uncivilized to civilized. This stage is very suitable for reshaping their worldview. We can conduct special ideological education for them, make their race loyal to us humans, and then send them to warships specially built for them to become our swords. In this way, we can also avoid the occurrence of huge casualties among our humans in future wars.
Third, based on the needs of biodiversity and Life Elixir research, we will inevitably collect a large number of various creatures on this planet, the Ugly Dog-Headed People Planet, to build a new Biosphere Spaceship. As intelligent beings on the planet, it is only natural for us to take them, and it will not take too much effort.
Fourth, compared to using the Dog-Headed Alien purely for experimental research, making the best use of it is the best strategy.
Xu Peici's fourth point is more of a supplementary statement than a formal fourth point.
Clearly, her four reasons were not entirely well-considered. After all, she was just a Biodiversity Research researcher, and it was already quite impressive that she could think of using the Dog-Headed Alien and propose a corresponding solution. It was certainly not something she alone could come up with for how to utilize it.
Sure enough, no sooner had she spoken than a military officer retorted, "That's womanly compassion. I don't object to you using the Dog-Headed Alien as research materials, and I also think your third and fourth points make sense. But you say you'll use the Dog-Headed People as combat personnel on ships to fight for us humans? Well then, I have to ask..."
The military personnel paused, looked at Xu Peici, and asked, "First of all, we are Level 2 Civilization. The Dog-Headed Alien, to put it nicely, are intelligent beings; to put it bluntly, they are an uncivilized race as you described. Do you know how much manpower, material resources, time, energy, and resources it would take to cultivate such a race into a group capable of operating Lake-Class Warship? The Dog-Headed Alien haven't even entered the Information Age. The difference in their level of civilization is obvious, and this task is absolutely impossible to accomplish."
