All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

"Do you know the location of this creature, which planet was it captured on?" He was now eager to know whether it was a real Avatar or some other creature that resembled an Avatar.

And if he remembered correctly, the humans in Avatar already possessed the technology for interstellar travel, and were not much weaker than the current Predators.

However, the technology he had seen on Earth was not advanced enough to enable interstellar travel; it couldn't even travel within the solar system, let alone traverse the Milky Way.

Could it be that somewhere else in the Milky Way, on a planet similar to Earth, a group of humans have developed technology advanced to the point of interstellar travel?

That doesn't make sense! If there were such a group of humans, they couldn't possibly be unaware of the people on Earth...

"Do you want to go hunting?" Seeing his excited appearance, Reina thought he wanted to hunt an Avatar as a collectible.

"Let me think..." She couldn't remember where she got this thing from, but she remembered her parents mentioning it once, it seemed to be in a star system not far from the solar system.

"On Pandora in the Alpha Centauri system," Reina blurted out. "Yes, that's it."

She looked at him and said, "Do you want to go? I can show you the way. My mother and I went there to study these creatures last time. Their planet is quite beautiful; I really like it."

She remembered and began to enthusiastically introduce it to Chu Cige: "And did you know? There's a giant tree on their planet called Vitrea-Lamu, which is the center and hub of the entire planet..."

It matches! It matches!

When she mentioned Centaurus, he knew he wasn't mistaken; the blue-skinned creature in the lab was an Avatar.

He didn't listen to the rest of the explanation because he already knew about the species.

When I first watched Avatar, I was really fascinated by its magnificent scenery and the amazing ability to connect minds...

In the lab, the research is currently focused primarily on the avatar's brain. It points its instruments at the avatar's head and slowly cuts through the skin with a scalpel, revealing the muscles and bones inside...

The most valuable thing for the Ironbloods to study about the Avatar species, apart from the hair-like neural connections on their heads, is that other aspects are not that important to them...

The black hair on the heads of Avatars is not hair, but a kind of neural connective hair, with neural connections at the ends that can make neural connections with other species on their home planet.

Most importantly, through the giant tree Vitrea-Lamu, a consciousness network can be established with all the plants and animals on Pandora.

This is also the most amazing thing about Pandora: it establishes a global ecological neural network.

All plants and animals, especially the Na'vi (Avatars), can connect at the level of consciousness through neural interfaces, such as the Na'vi's "braids," forming a huge intelligent network called "Eevee."

"Eva" is the "Gaia Consciousness" of Pandora, a collection of the memories and wisdom of all life on the planet.

The giant tree Ramu is the primary access point for "Eva," the global neural network of Pandora.

By connecting to the Ramu, the Na'vi can access the collective consciousness and memory bank of the entire planet.

Here, they can offer their deepest prayers, seek guidance, and perform the most important rituals (such as the "union ceremony").

It stores the memories, emotions, and knowledge of all the Na'vi ancestors.

"Through the giant tree Lamu, the deceased did not truly die; they merely became a part of Eva."

In the movie, when Dr. Grace is dying, the Na'vi attempt to transfer her consciousness (or soul) completely into her avatar through the giant tree Ramu.

Jake Sully ultimately transferred his consciousness permanently from his human body to his avatar body through the sacred ritual of the giant tree Ramu.

When Chu Cige first saw this scene, he was amazed and exclaimed that it was incredible.

Isn't this a different kind of immortality? Although they share a collective consciousness, it's incredibly appealing to some people.

No wonder those humans wanted to start colonization; resources were an important reason, and studying this giant tree, Lamu, was probably another.

Based on the technology depicted in the movie, humans can create a Na'vi body through gene cloning and then transfer consciousness through compatibility.

So conquering Pandora was only a matter of time, since the Na'vi's primitive social structure was no match for humanity, which had already embarked on interstellar travel.

The only difference lies in how much humans want to gain: is it resources and a Pandora whose ecosystem is completely destroyed, or a dream Pandora with a fertile ecosystem and the potential for immortality?

The significant difference between the two is what gave the Na'vi on Pandora a chance to survive in the movie. Otherwise, given the technological and military disparity between the two sides in the film, the Na'vi would have been imprisoned and studied long ago.

Of course, there is another reason: the atmosphere on Pandora is not breathable for humans.

It is rich in nitrogen, methane, ammonia and carbon dioxide, but has a very low oxygen content.

Humans exposed to it for just a few minutes will suffocate and die.

This is also one reason why, unless Pandora undergoes large-scale modifications, humans can only survive through various instruments.

However, these things are nothing to the Predator. Transforming a planet, while not easy, is also quite effortless.

It all depends on whether the Predator wants to or not.

After recalling the entire setting of Avatar and what the movie was about, Chu Cige felt that the trip was worthwhile. The discovery of a completely new species alone had stirred his emotions.

I can't wait to go to Pandora to see the Na'vi and the magnificent scenery in the movies.

Of course, the necessary prey figurines and another type of collectible also surfaced in his mind.

Although it might seem like a case of a small horse pulling a large cart, he felt he should be able to find a suitable mount. He just didn't know if the Na'vi's structure was compatible with the Predator. If it wasn't suitable...

That's truly a pity.

Thinking about this, he racked his brains but couldn't find out how the Na'vi reproduced. However, he figured that there shouldn't be any reproductive barriers between the three groups, since they were similar to humans and even to the Ironbloods.

After Reina opened Pandora's box around his body, Chu Cige felt himself becoming more and more perverted, always thinking about those beautiful things.

The only slight pity is that Bertha attacked me last time, otherwise I could have taken her to the Ironblood homeworld and teamed up with Reina.

He hasn't yet tried using this powerful body to deal with other alien creatures besides Reina, and he doesn't know if he'll have any other novel experiences.

After observing for a long time, Chu Cige reluctantly left the Na'vi laboratory. The corpse inside had already been dissected, so there wasn't much else to see.

"Let's go! Let's check out the next lab." He was now in high spirits and even more curious about the next lab, hoping to discover other different species to satisfy his curiosity.
