Chapter 234 Target - Coastline
Even if the city in the sky rises, it obviously can't fly far.
The cities of the Green Civilization have been extinct for four thousand years, and it is simply impossible for humans to handle those complex power systems.
Moreover, the energy accumulated by the poppy tree is too little, and it may run out of energy halfway through its flight.
They must find a nearby green space and rest for a long time before they can recover.
"King, there is really no oasis close to the north. I have been searching for a long time, but I really can't find it."
Lu Da looked tired and helpless.
"You've worked hard. Just do your best." Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then consoled her, "Have a good rest and move freely in the city."
"Oh, by the way, here are the three thousand dollars for you. If you live in human society, you must follow human rules and not commit crimes. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Lu Da was a little happy. He was really tired.
"You take a rest for a while, and I'll assign you some simple tasks."
It turns out that even tools like the Queen Insect deserve material rewards.
After receiving three thousand yuan, my expression suddenly changed from winter to summer!
It was thinking, should it buy some fruit? Or some chicken? Or buy a bed and lie on it for a week? The king insect actually looked quite elegant, but now it had an inexplicable sense of dementia...
Lu Yuan didn't know if it had become like this because it had been away from human society for too long. Back then, when he had been away from human society and wandered around in Pangu Continent for many years, he might have also been an idiot. Lu Da suddenly thought of something and said with murderous intent, "Wang! I just heard someone say that you are a pervert?"
"Should we find him and kill him?"
"The king's dignity cannot be insulted!"
It made a movement of raising its hand and cutting with a knife.
Perhaps because he had encountered some strong enemies, the murderous intent was really strong, forming a real chill.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was indeed a beautiful girl who called him a "pervert".
"No, no, don't worry about it."
He gritted his teeth and refused immediately without any hesitation.
The soundproofing of this office must be upgraded!
King Insect Lu Da was silent for a long time. Although he didn't understand, he still obeyed. He lowered his voice again: "King, why is there a wound on your head?"
"Someone must have attacked you. Do you want me to find and kill the murderer for you?"
The wound on Lu Yuan's head should be the result of the divine skill peeling operation just now. It is only the size of a pinhole and is not a problem.
He was a little embarrassed: "No, it's nothing...Don't kill people for no reason."
“That person is quite important.”
She is bringing me food.
King Insect Lu Da made an expression of sudden enlightenment and grinned, "You mean to secretly capture them and torture them to death? I can understand!"
"It is a hundred times more pleasant to watch them die in wailing and despair than to kill them immediately."
"I will do it secretly, don't worry! Tell me who he is, and I will keep my hands clean and won't be discovered by others."
Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt unwell.
He felt that everyone around him was a little sick.
A group of people are shouting "the meaning of life"; a group of people are catching children every day and locking them in flower buds; Grandpa Turtle and a group of people are raising chickens like crazy, and there is chaos every day.
There is also a group of people who are actually indifferent to the coming new era - this is also quite magical.
And these king insects actually marched towards the eunuchs of the East Factory... This problem really cannot be cured.
After finally calming down this madman, Lu Yuan sighed and said, "If you have anything else, please report it to me. If you have nothing else, just take a good rest."
Lu Da finally gave a useful piece of information: "Wang, don't worry, we have agreed on a time. No matter whether there is any harvest or not, we have to come back at this time."
Lu Yuan nodded.
Seeing that the other party looked almost exhausted, he quickly waved his hand, signaling it to go down and rest.
…
This poor King Insect, Lu Da, who was supposed to be a big shot in Pangu Continent, was very well-behaved and spent lavishly in the supermarket.
I bought a basket of grapes, then sat on the steps, enjoying them and giving them to children on the street.
“Thank you, uncle!”
"Hello, little one. You look delicious."
The child was almost scared to tears.
"I mean, the fruit is delicious."
The strange uncle grinned and said to himself, "It seems a little different from a year ago."
It was just time for the get out of class to end, and the students went back to their homes and their mothers.
The security environment in Green Town is very good, there are not many criminals, and there is no need for parents to pick up and drop off children.
A vibrant scene.
A huge roar was heard in the distance. It was the insect called "Drainer", which was like a ball, filled with oil, rushing over.
The Sky City naturally has corresponding oil warehouses.
The "Drainer" first spit out the orange-yellow condensate oil and put it into a sealed pool.
Then it spits out the black heavy oil, which is the raw material for future industrial development.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Da comforted the "Drainer", even though the other party's intelligence was not high.
"Gulululu." The absorber made a strange sound.
"Drink some water."
The "drainer" stretched out an organ like a straw and sucked in a bucket of water with a gentle suction.
"You have a big appetite. You drank up all the water in the reservoir."
The Drainer is a little scared.
Then it added: "Have a good rest."
This has nothing to do with driving ability.
It's just pure influence from human society.
It has been influenced by human culture since it was an egg. On the other hand, it has devoured the blood of the Green Man, and its thinking is actually biased towards the Green Man.
If a human were to live with wolves again, he would become a wolf boy; and if a wolf lived with humans from childhood, it might feel that it was a human being.
The same goes for the king insects. Although they are aggressive by nature, they will also pick up human habits by living here.
…
Three days later, the other two king insects also returned.
They all looked dusty and exhausted. As soon as they came back, they ate a lot and some were almost paralyzed.
These guys brought back a lot of information.
Lu Yuan and others came from the direction of Lize civilization, that is, the west. The desert edge in that direction is at least 20,000 kilometers long.
The desert in the north is 16,000 kilometers long.
The situation in the east is slightly better, at around 10,000 kilometers.
"There is a huge abyss in the east, and a lot of poisonous gas is coming out of it. It almost poisoned me to death."
And to the south, there is actually a high mountain and... a vast ocean!
The King Insect Lu Xiao, who was in charge of exploring the south, almost cried when he thought of his past experiences.
At the beginning, it had great ambitions and wanted to explore how big the ocean was.
As a result, I lost my strength halfway through the flight!
Although there was a lot of food in the ocean, there was no place to rest, and the deep-sea monsters were very powerful, so it almost died in the sea.
Apart from a few words of comfort, Lu Yuan had nothing else to complain about.
"How far is the ocean from here?"
"The nearest coastline is about 1,500 kilometers away... I drew a map of the coastline. Alas, I'm sad that I couldn't find a closer oasis." It was unclear whether Lu Xiao had a low IQ or was teasing the other two queen insects.
1500 kilometers!
A completely acceptable distance!
Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at the old cat.
The old cat was also very surprised, looking at the map that was pieced together...
"This desert is really huge, comparable to the area of the Earth."
"So how big would the ocean be? We obviously don't have the strength to cross it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Sky City also needs to replenish resources and maintain equipment.
When flying over the continent, you can also find a flat place to land and take a rest.
If they cross the ocean, they have to cross it in one go. If something unexpected happens on the way, won’t they just sink? Lu Yuan thought about it for a while. Now they are all half-baked, and the risk of the city sinking is really not low.
However, near the ocean, there is some sea breeze, so it should be a little more humid.
"At worst, we can use distillation to get some fresh water."
Compared with 16,000 kilometers, 1,500 kilometers is an acceptable distance.
Lu Yuan nodded. Their first priority now was to get rid of the water crisis, and then return to the territory of Lize civilization to trade a large number of industrial products.
He slammed the table heavily: "Then, the first stop of the rising sky city is officially decided to be the southern coastline!"
…
…
"Extraordinary news! A huge ocean has been discovered 1,500 kilometers away!"
“Escaping the water crisis is just around the corner!”
“There are also all kinds of seafood to catch!”
Various rumors were spread in the form of public opinion, causing great shock to the citizens of Green Town.
The water in the reservoir is decreasing day by day, and it has reached the point where its use has to be regulated.
These civilians saw it and were worried.
Enjoying the affluent life today, who would want to go back to the cruel era of the Great Famine?
But there's no point in being anxious about this kind of thing!
They could only work overtime and work like crazy to raise the city in the sky earlier.
Now that there was good news, everyone was excited. Everyone was discussing this matter, whether they were at work or after get off work, and they were all a little distracted.
"What is the ocean?"
"It's just a big puddle of water. Dad, you need to learn more about culture. Sea water is salty."
Because of the influence of the Green Paradise, young people's knowledge is actually broader than that of adults.
“Then everyone will be able to use water as they wish!”
"But I remember seafood is poisonous."
"When do we officially set off?"
Faced with the noisy questions from the public, Lu Yuan felt from the bottom of his heart that it was necessary to set up a proper propaganda department.
Nowadays, the transmission of information depends entirely on word of mouth, which will undoubtedly generate many rumors.
"My friends, with the help of the Zerg warriors, we have indeed found a place where we can replenish water."
"If nothing goes wrong, our sky city will be able to rise in a month or two."
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, there was a noisy noise and shouting in the square.
"Can it really rise?!"
"Where?"
Hope is indeed a precious thing.
There is no hope, everyone is a thug.
With hope, everyone is a striving young person.
Someone else was shouting, "Captain Lu, what should we do?"
"What to do with what?"
"What you said before...what you said before...Captain Lu..." the old man shouted with mixed emotions.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand a little bit. It was an older elder of the clan, and he seemed to be looking forward to something.
This group of people has always existed and is understandable.
“Then let us work together and move towards our goal!”
Lu Yuan yelled, his voice so loud that it drowned out the noisy commotion.
Then, he made a few gestures, signaling everyone to be quiet: "But, there are some ugly words that I must say first."
"First of all, I know that it is difficult for some people to adapt to the current life."
"The new era is moving too fast and will leave some people behind."
“It’s normal that people don’t understand or accept various policies.”
"Let's put it this way. When we get to a relatively safe place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, I will give you a choice: whether to stay in this city and become human citizens, or stay there and live the life you want, as you did in the past."
In the past two years, the number of talents has indeed been increasing.
This epoch-making educational method has changed a lot.
But the most difficult thing in the world is to transform the thinking of a person with a mature worldview.
Why are children a blank slate, but adults are difficult to reform? Because their thinking is completely solidified.
At least half of the population cannot keep up with the new era. They have no learning ability, no work skills, cannot earn money, and cannot afford fruits and vegetables.
The increasing productivity has nothing to do with them.
They are not willing to try anything like "Green Paradise".
It is more difficult to let this group of people learn modern knowledge than to kill them! Therefore, there is always a sense of incompatibility when this group of people live here.
Lu Yuan will give them a chance to leave.
When the time comes, you can do whatever you want!
As for the epochal disaster or something like that...that will be something that happens tens of thousands of years later. No one can predict what will happen tens of thousands of years later.
Maybe by then, Lu Yuan had already died, the Sky City had fallen, and the descendants of the escaped horse were still alive...
Who can tell these things clearly? Lu Yuan paused for a moment and said loudly: "If you want to leave, I will give you about a year's worth of food!"
"We will help you build a new home, and give you some agricultural tools and some technological industries. It can be considered as an acquaintance for us."
"I won't stop you from leaving."
"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. Everyone has their own aspirations, and everyone should walk their own path."
The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
