Chapter 232 Popular Abilities in Previous Eras

Lu Yuan welcomed the most leisurely, comfortable, happy and blissful time in his life...

Whether it's the stripping project of Sky City, the education program for the citizens of Green Town, or exploring the border of the desert...

These most troublesome things were all done for him! There were no emergencies of this kind, nor any huge crisis of life and death. Lu Yuan simply enjoyed the prosperity of the Green Town, the increasing number of engineering teams, and the sense of accomplishment as those with "divine skills" showed their effectiveness one by one.

This kind of happiness is quite different from what one gets from digging for treasure or picking up trash.

The joy of digging for treasure is temporary and short-lived.

There was a lot of junk that he had no use for, so he just piled it up in the storage space.

The rise of humanity's 18th civilization is a rather long process, and it also is a long-lasting, sustainable feeling.

To be exact, it's a bit like starting a business! Starting from scratch and establishing a Fortune 500 company brings a great sense of accomplishment.

Even his companions were addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.

Especially the old cat, who is originally a robot and has the energy 24 hours a day to manage those guys.

…

For the residents of Green Town, farming is becoming less and less attractive.

After working hard for several months, you only earn a few hundred yuan. It’s better to go out and work.

But to work, you have to pass a skills test... otherwise you won't even be eligible to register. This is really painful for people who don't want to use their brains.

The most profitable things in the world are written in the criminal law... It is impossible to learn, you can only commit a crime and make some money.

But in Green Town, it is really hard to commit a crime! The vines of the poppy tree on the roadside might be surveillance!

The former football civilization also had to consider internal security and had already fully developed procedures in this regard.

Petty theft will be discovered if investigated.

Green Paradise, in this era, is indeed a dimensionality reduction attack.

The criminals were caught without knowing what was happening, and they didn't even have a chance to sell the stolen goods.

As for the treatment of criminals, it was also very simple. They were stuffed into flower buds and directly imprisoned in the "virtual world" - the virtual world was a real prison cell, with labor reform every day. Anyway, there were many ways to deal with criminals! Therefore, after several legal trials, everyone was shocked and could only work honestly to make money.

Facts have proved that no matter which civilization, rolling is a philosophy of survival. Since some roll kings got high-paying jobs, a large number of roll kings have emerged.

This is a positive feedback effect, forming a virtuous cycle.

…

Lao Mao, the office director, would report the progress every day: "The Third Engineering Team has recruited enough people, a total of 125 people, and can start work immediately."

"We picked out the machines that were still able to operate, performed the simplest maintenance, and then took over with Poppy Tree's 'Green Paradise'."

"However, this mode is limited to less complex and repetitive tasks. For more difficult tasks, you have to program them yourself in the Green Park."

"Except for Conch, no one else can program yet."

"Alas, this is the only way for now." Lu Yuan sighed, "The training of talents will take ten or twenty years."

"They have worked very hard and we can't blame them too much."

He followed Lao Mao and visited several engineering teams.

These workers, who were trained in the Green Paradise, are laying electrical wires.

Another group of workers are transporting oil.

In order to get oil, Lu Yuan specially hatched two strange insects called "draining insects".

This huge guy looks very ugly, like a hybrid of a long sandworm and an octopus monster.

But its ability is useful. It can extract oil from the ground, store it inside its body, and then expand it like a balloon.

The "draining worm" transports 100-200 tons of oil in one trip, which is a considerable amount.

Oil has many uses, for example, the most important one is thermal power generation, which can provide energy for the rise of the city in the sky.

The current 18 human civilizations are still unable to develop thermal power generators. Fortunately, the green civilization has ready-made equipment, including boilers, steam turbines, generators, water systems, cooling systems, dust collection and desulfurization systems, etc.

Electricity is dangerous, but it is also a shortcut to civilization...

…

"Don't worry, the wires will be ready in four months!"

Standing in front of Lu Yuan was the current technical director, Comrade Sha Mo.

"By then, the poppy trees will provide about 70% of the photosynthetic energy. Our power station will provide another 30% of the energy to make the sky city rise."

"The Pandora crystals in the city are embedded in the stone, so they are less damaged and do not require us to repair too much."

The young man spoke eloquently and his words were full of confidence.

He was wearing a hard hat and a short-sleeved shirt.

There is no difference between them and the intellectuals on Earth.

"Don't make the transformer explode...Electricity is different from other things. If you don't handle it well, there will be a safety accident."

Lu Yuan was actually not very reassured.

"Captain Lu, in fact, many people have been electrocuted in learning environments. The feeling of being electrocuted into charcoal... everyone has experienced it. So, don't worry!"

Death is the best teacher.

The current level of realism in the virtual world is 100%, and no one wants to experience the pain of being electrocuted to death a second time.

"Moreover..." Sha Mo lowered his voice, "The current power grid is very simple. It is used to provide energy for the Pandora crystal. There is no civilian power supply."

“The power is rated, so there aren’t many technical difficulties.”

After hearing what they said, even though Lu Yuan was worried, there was nothing he could do.

After all, time is really tight.

All of them are struggling against a future of dying of thirst!

In addition to laying electrical wires, workers from the other two engineering teams are trying to peel off the inner ring of the Sky City, while frantically picking up heritage.

The damage to the middle and outer rings is too severe to be repaired with current resources, so we can only pack up and take away everything that can be taken away! "It is expected that the inner ring will be peeled off in another year."

"Then we can try to raise the sky city and leave here."

…

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

The construction team's construction progress was proceeding step by step and was barely going smoothly.

The water in the reservoir is constantly decreasing.

There are a total of 7 oil-digging worms, all of which have hatched. Although they can survive by eating oil, they also have a high demand for water resources.

In addition, 4 bugs that can smelt metals were hatched; 6 bugs that can secrete fungal mats to promote rapid growth of plants; and 3 bugs that can release electric current.

The current technology tree is indeed quite chaotic. The technology of the Green Civilization, the Zerg technology, and the pure physical technology of humans make the 18th civilization of humans look like a wild and chaotic growth...

Lu Yuan couldn't quite predict what kind of thinking the next generation would have in such an environment.

However, he doesn't care about anything. Being able to develop... is the bottom line!

Who cares about technology! However, as time passed, the three king insects with important missions never returned.

Lu Yuan even had some doubts, maybe they died outside...

“This shouldn’t be the case…”

"Aren't these insects the drought-tolerant type?"

However, there was nothing he could do except wait.

…

On the contrary, it was his personal matter, and his soul was full, so there was a good opportunity to solve it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The relevant information about "ability merging" was given by the mirror [magic].

The content of this part is quite obscure. Even for a powerful civilization like Green, there are surprisingly few records about it.

Lu Yuan didn't know whether the information was lost or it really didn't exist.

He only found a few papers, most of which were of a "conjectural" nature.

"The top civilizations at the moment are the Dalai Empire and the Gear Civilization. The Dalai Empire can imprison [ghosts] and mirror [devils], while the Gear Civilization can create divine skills."

"As for the green civilization, it is considered a second-tier civilization."

“If the green grass really created gods, then it would be considered a first-class civilization.” He gave such an evaluation in his mind.

"Even giants like Dalai and Gear Civilization have disappeared... The future is really difficult."

Lu Yuan finally suppressed the urge to contact the mirror [demon] and settled for the next best thing, studying various documents of the green civilization.

[The Origin of Supernatural Powers]

【Author: Mu Linsen】

[Exploring the true origin of supernatural powers is the current focus of research. ]

【After cultural exchanges among multiple civilizations and investigations of ancient ruins, we have discovered some clues. 】

[There are three possible origins of supernatural powers...]

[It should be noted that there are significant risks in recognizing the truth. In the process of investigating deep-level information, it is very likely to trigger the attack tendency of certain [ghost]-level anomalies.]

【Therefore, we can only conduct a simple investigation. 】

Lu Yuan frowned.

The following description becomes very brief, and the author of the document "Mu Linmu" seems to have deleted a lot of content, causing the article to look a little incoherent.

[The birth of the extraordinary fire may be at the end of the seventh era. Someone with great wisdom split the eternal fire created by the gear civilization and produced the extraordinary fire that can be spread.]

[Therefore, we have reason to suspect that there was no extraordinary fire in the earlier era. ]

[It is hard to imagine how intelligent life could survive in such a harsh environment without the extraordinary fire.]

[However, according to archaeological excavations, we were surprised to find that in an earlier era, around the sixth era, there existed an ability called "Spiritual Words."]

[To describe it in more detail, it is a bit like the "magic" in fantasy novels, which uses sound waves to trigger the resonance of extraordinary rules and create supernatural phenomena. ]

[If we look back further, it may be the Fourth Era or the Fifth Era, where a kind of "Gang Feng" ability may have existed.]

[The ability of "Spiritual Words" and a very small number of natural borns, they are the chosen ones of heaven. ]

[And the ability of "Gang Feng" no longer exists in the world, this phenomenon is very surprising. ]

[Because idealistic rules, like physical rules, can be borrowed by every civilization. As long as they exist, natural beings will definitely be born.]

[Therefore, we can boldly speculate that the ability and rules of "Gangfeng" have been completely erased by a certain existence... The ability of "Gangfeng" is very powerful, it can erase other idealistic rules, and its combat power is far stronger than the extraordinary fire. ]

[But we have no way of knowing how powerful it is. ]

Further archaeological research may have revealed some horrific existences that are not recorded in any literature.

Lu Yuan guessed that the truly sensitive content could only be transmitted through telepathy, without any text or any information.

This is very troublesome. Now the Green People only have one conch left, which is equivalent to a knowledge gap.

"The power of the spirit words and the power of the strong wind... they become stronger as we advance?"

Next, researcher "Lin Senmu" divided superpowers into three categories.

The first category is purely natural, which is the ability of the vision.

In every new era, some new visions will be born, and these new visions may have some relationship with the participating civilizations.

[They are likely born from faith and culture. The history of civilization is a huge idealistic energy source. When countless civilizations converged on the Pangu continent, the huge tidal shocks caused by them opened up new idealistic rules.]

[The limit of this kind of ability is the vision itself.]

[Because of the idealistic rule, everyone can borrow, so some people are born with the same abilities as the vision. It’s just that because the extent of borrowing is small, the ability is often not as good as the vision. ]

This passage is actually not difficult to understand.

It’s just like the law of universal gravitation. Others formed stars and black holes, but humans can only hop around on the ground. It’s not easy to borrow the rules.

[The second type of ability is created by force. The powerful gear civilization created the eternal fire.]

[It is just that this is difficult, requiring a huge amount of energy, triggering historical tidal shocks, and borrowing the culture and history of one's own civilization to forcibly create capabilities.]

【This may require huge sacrifices.】

[This type of ability may not be very strong, but it meets the needs of intelligent life and is suitable for large-scale dissemination.]

[We are grateful to the Gear Civilization. Without the Eternal Fire and the Extraordinary Fire, there would be no glory in this era. The Eighth Era is a long and glorious era. We, the Greens, also have a chance to escape.]

[The third type of ability may be split from a certain superpower. ]

[For example, the ability of "Gang Feng" was completely eliminated, leaving only a name, and no trace of it was passed down. ]

【But is there any way to preserve it? 】

[The answer is yes. If there is a super civilization, this idealistic rule will be quietly dismantled.]

[In the future, if someone with great wisdom restores the information that has been split, the ability of "Gang Feng" will be formed again.]

[It is worth noting that the process of information restoration is extremely dangerous. ]

[Those civilizations that cannot defeat the [ghosts] and seek super powers are only seeking their own death. ]
