Chapter 286 [Transaction! Legendary Masterpiece! Spirit! ]
Lu Yuan guessed that the personalities of these Zerg warriors might be related to their food and living environment.
If these guys chew the grass every day, won’t they become herbivores? “Every civilization has its own culture, and the culture of our human civilization is—struggle and self-confidence!”
"Even if you are a bug, you must have confidence!"
"For bugs that like to struggle, we need to give them more good food... or maybe we can come up with an incentive program or something?"
"Biba!" A Leviathan rushed over and showed off the fruits of his labor to Lu Yuan.
It used its huge horn to dig out a sparkling "Pandora's Crystal".
"Good job!" Lu Yuan immediately praised it, took out a small pomegranate from his trouser pocket and secretly stuffed it into the dog's pocket.
Leviathan left happily.
"The most important thing is equipment..."
"If these bugs also bring equipment that can accelerate their growth, we can save a lot of resources."
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but continue to indulge in his "mythical equipment research".
He was extremely passionate about this matter.
This is the fact. No matter what industry, even the top scientists can never create value comparable to creating "mythical equipment".
Even if it is legendary equipment, once one piece is produced, its value is extremely high.
Because the equipment can be used for a long time.
Permanent items are definitely more valuable than consumables.
…
The entire mining operation went very smoothly and no unexpected accidents occurred.
Six months later, the warehouse was filled with oil, enough for several years. The Pandora crystals could raise about 18 billion tons of rock and soil, which was enough to expand the Sky City 100 times.
So the city took off again.
They flew and stopped like this for a whole year before crossing the desert and reaching that arid land.
Here, there is finally some rainfall, and sparse animals and plants have appeared.
In order to explore possible treasures, Lu Yuan specially grew a vine of the Tree of Life to the edge of the city.
Let this vine activate the "Explorer's Eye" at all times.
At the same time, a reconnaissance team was arranged, consisting of a group of "eagle eyes", "super-sensors", and several treasure hunters.
Whenever they found wealth, the soldiers rode on flying bugs and ran to the land in search of treasure.
It’s true that after a thorough search, we did find quite a few good things.
Things like black iron ore, thousand-year-old stone marrow, bones of unknown creatures, lightning-struck wood, flaming red rocks, etc., as well as some mutated animals and plants.
Most of these supernatural materials are of "general grade" or "inferior grade", but humans accept them all and pick them up.
Occasionally there are "rare" treasures!
They even found a small mithril mine, so the city landed and dug for mithril for several months.
The so-called "foundation" is accumulated bit by bit.
But we have to admit that the resources of Pangu Continent are not so abundant that treasures are everywhere. On average, it takes one thousand kilometers to find a treasure. The current search diameter is about 10 kilometers.
That is, one can find an extraordinary ore in 10,000 square kilometers. (It is possible that some are missed)
If there was no city in the sky, and we had to rely solely on our two legs to run on the ground, the cost would be extremely high.
In the reconnaissance room on the edge of the city, several soldiers on duty were looking down and observing intently.
Beside them are two "flying dragons", giant flying insects that can spit acid.
"At least give me something rare. At this rate, when will I get a treasure of the exceptional level?"
"It's good to find it... I tell you, I didn't catch anything when I was on duty last week. It was so boring." An older soldier suddenly took out a document and said, "Do you know how supernatural mineral deposits appear?"
"What do you mean?"
"According to the Green Civilization's documents, it seems to be something like... the fluctuation of luck! There is also the concept of luck in the entire Pangu Continent."
"At the beginning and end of the era, the fluctuations in fortune are particularly large, so the abundance of supernatural mineral deposits will be higher."
"Ah? According to this statement, at the beginning of the era, there is one stone per 10,000 square kilometers, which is considered a high density?"
It's really high density.
In the middle period, the number of civilizations will increase, and the difficulty of searching will naturally increase.
Fortunately, most of the extraordinary minerals can be recycled, and a lot of them can be accumulated over time.
On the contrary, there has always been a shortage of biomaterials as consumables.
So, if you can find flowers and plants, it would be a good harvest.
"The captain is here, keep your voice down."
The captain of the investigation team is named Lu Ying. From his last name "Lu", you can tell that he was a child raised by the public...
In principle, you can change your name after you are 24 years old, but most people will not change it randomly. After all, they put some thought into choosing the name.
Lu Ying has a pair of "treasure-hunting eyes", which is a natural divine skill.
His eyesight is much better than that of normal people, and he is the one who finds the most wealth in the team. The army calls him "the little treasure hunter."
"Everyone, don't be so nervous. We are almost approaching the territory of the Rize civilization."
"This is the former residence of Commander Lu. It has been searched once, so there shouldn't be any treasure left here... But, don't be careless."
Everybody burst into laughter. The treasure hunt depended heavily on the vine given by the commander-in-chief.
Whenever something good appears, the bells on the vines will ring first.
According to this logic, the commander-in-chief is the best at digging for treasure.
As a result, Lu Ying suddenly held his breath when he was halfway through his speech! His eyes flickered, and he saw a group of ant-like things in the distance, lined up in a long line, crossing the yellow land.
The number was so dense that at first glance, there were millions of them, or even more than ten million! Lu Ying narrowed his eyes and activated his ability "Treasure Hunting Eye".
The picture zoomed in quickly.
Lined up on the ground, there seemed to be a group of intelligent life forms.
Most of them are dressed in black, are about 1.4 to 2 meters long, have a purple tail, a sharp mouth, and hair on their faces, and look like mice.
There are also a small number of individuals wearing blue, purple and gold clothes.
There were also some huge beasts in the team, each of which was like an elephant, pulling a wagon.
There are also animals like turtles, cows, and horses.
"Is this... a certain civilization?"
"Oh no, they've discovered us." Lu Ying was startled when he saw many ratmen looking towards the direction of the Sky City.
After a while, the reconnaissance team next door reported: "We received a radio wave! We can't analyze it for the time being!"
Everyone in the investigation room became busy and reported the information to the top management as quickly as possible.
…
On the 18633rd day of the Pangu Era, humans encountered the first civilization also living on the Pangaea Continent.
…
"Is there a civilization passing by near the safe zone of the Rize civilization?"
Lu Yuan was studying frantically and was shocked when he heard the news.
The City in the Sky is so large that when I see you, it also means you see me.
Of course, it is also possible to hide the sky city by using concealing glyphs, but the manpower and resources required are beyond the current human ability to bear.
Lu Yuan hurriedly left Mida Park and came to the edge of the Sky City. Seeing the millions of black spots, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Why are there so many people wandering in the wild... Where are their cities?"
"Report, their city has not been found yet! We are expanding the search area."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Could it be a crypt or something like that?"
"Or is the city hidden by the carvings?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but pat his head when he thought of this.
It's not that he is arrogant, they are actually not that weak. They don't even have the resources to hide the Sky City. If these ratmen can hide a larger city with a population of one million, it means they are hundreds of times stronger than them!
A few minutes later, several military leaders including Shakaner, Jin Dongliang, and Lao Mao also came to the investigation room.
Holding a telescope, observing carefully.
"It's a bit strange... At this point in time, it's not surprising that a civilization would cancel the safe zone." The old cat narrowed his eyes.
"But it's really rare for millions of people to wander together. The food problem alone is enough to make them suffer."
Yes, every civilization has to consider eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
It is difficult to fill your stomach by hunting and gathering alone.
But how to collect resources if you don’t wander?
Therefore, there is a "popular custom" in Pangu Continent to build a sky city.
"We are almost reaching our destination. What should we do with the Sky City? Do we need to land?" Professor Sha Mo from the School of Engineering asked during the remote call.
"As expected, after flying for such a long time, we have to land and rest for a while. It doesn't matter if we fly farther, but Poppy Tree will take longer to rest. We have about a month of redundancy."
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and gave an order: "Don't worry, activate the concealment glyph near the poppy tree and start the protection mode."
The Hidden Glyph is a project that the Great Engineering Institute has spent a lot of effort to complete.
The Poppy Tree is too vulnerable to attack, and the Glyph of Concealment can conceal its presence.
"The soldiers are ready for battle. All weapons of war are ready to be brought out."
"Military control is imposed on civilians, and they can only move around in core areas. The children are in safe mode."
"Reconnaissance department, send out electromagnetic waves and say that we are a friendly civilization that advocates peace...using the language of the Meda civilization."
"Owner, notify the Sky Fortress to release the sobering gas to restore consciousness to the Zerg warriors inside."
Lu Yuan was very calm and issued orders one after another.
In fact, he doesn't know how civilization communication should be carried out.
In the past, when he was alone, he was often treated as a guest of honor by other civilizations.
Both the Rize civilization and the Sarai tribe received him very friendly.
But this time it's really different.
The difference between the communication between an individual and a group of people is that an individual can be easily accepted, while a group of people is already a civilized unit.
We must be prepared for the worst—war! However, just as he was lost in thought, a powerful spiritual wave suddenly appeared above the Sky City, sweeping over like a gust of wind, covering the sky and the earth!
A voice resounded in Lu Yuan's mind like a huge bell: [Transaction! Legendary masterpiece! Spirit!]
Just these three words.
Lu Yuan quickly came to his senses and found that everyone in the room was still in a stiff state. He knew that it was his "Immortal Masterpiece" that took effect.
"What do you mean, trade? Caravan? Or is this a strategic deterrent?"
It was more than half a second later that the sixth-level grandmaster, Jin Dongliang, slowly came to his senses and shook his body with sweat all over his forehead.
The extraordinary level does have some effect.
Everyone woke up one by one.
The second-level soldier almost fainted and gradually woke up after a minute.
"How's the interior of the city?"
The conch that was controlling the poppy tree said quickly: "More than a hundred elderly people are unconscious... Fortunately, all the children have been evacuated urgently, so there are no accidents for the time being."
"Fortunately, we acted quickly, otherwise the child would have been in a coma for several days." Lu Yuan couldn't help but curse.
"The other party is aggressive and has bad intentions." The old cat suddenly said, "The mental shock just now has greatly exceeded the scope of human beings, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Maybe it was caused by a strange phenomenon."
"There's no need to panic. Every civilization has its own opportunities. It's nothing to be surprised if the other party catches an anomaly."
The strength of human divine skills has a lot to do with divine attributes.
However, man's divine attributes are subject to an upper limit.
For most people, 18-20 points of godliness after the soul solidifies is the upper limit.
On the contrary, the divine skills of the vision have little to do with the divine attributes. After all, the vision itself is the embodiment of the rules. As long as there is idealistic energy, the rules can be called upon to the greatest extent.
They discussed it for a while. As they were hundreds of kilometers apart, many details could not be observed clearly.
However, the advantage of having a city in the sky is that they are invincible because they fly high in the sky. Even if the enemy has the technology to fly in the sky, it is impossible for them to send all the people up to fight.
"Shut down the big turboprops and put the city in a high-altitude standstill."
"We still have to go down and take a look. If we can communicate, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages."
"We can't communicate, so we just fly away and be done with it."
"That's right." Everyone was talking.
Lu Yuan originally wanted to go down and investigate in person. After all, he was the strongest fighter in the entire civilization. And to put it bluntly, even if he died, it would not be a big problem since he could be resurrected anyway.
But using the "resurrection" of the Tree of Life is his trump card, which others are not aware of.
"No, no, how can the Supreme Commander lead the army in person when we don't even know the intelligence?"
“You can’t do everything by yourself.”
So after some persuasion, Lu Yuan had no choice but to stay in the city and continue to serve as the commander.
