Chapter 324 Super Life - Mirage Dragon!
Lu Yuan noticed that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly fanatical, so he quickly patted the table, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"As you can see, this civilization relic is about 110 kilometers away from us. It is estimated to cover an area of 1,500 square kilometers, which is much larger than our Green City."
"Please strictly abide by the discipline and keep the secrets of the ruins! Before the secrets are officially allowed to be disclosed, keep your mouth shut and keep the civilians in radio silence. Violators will be tried by a military court. This is not as simple as civil law! I don't want to see any accidents in this regard happen."
These words immediately made people feel nervous and secretly reminded themselves to strictly abide by the discipline.
Lu Yuan gave everyone a warning at the beginning, but it was not for the sake of fame or anything... He knew clearly that the more powerful the ruins, the more likely it was to have risks.
Like the remains of the Green Man, there is a violent poppy tree.
No one dared to get close! It was the mother of the conch who sent the Zerg army to help solve the problem.
Even in the remains of the Meida people, there is a half-dead [demon]! Don't think that Pangu Continent is full of treasures. If you don't raise your vigilance, you won't even know how you died!
"Then, comrades, let's talk business."
Lu Yuan pointed at a pile of wet things that looked severely corroded. Some of the technological creations were covered with seaweed and coral-like marine creatures.
On a ceramic jar, you can also find hand-painted rough sketches of humanoid creatures, which look quite alien as they fly around active volcanoes with broad bat-like wings.
"First, we need to understand the technological strength of this civilization. If it is like the Meda civilization, with mediocre technology and destroyed at the end of the era, there is no need to dig too much. We can just capture the extraordinary creatures left behind and leave."
Lu Yuan didn't mean to insult the Meda civilization, that was his second homeland...
But it is true.
Humanity has developed to the point where it is stronger than most civilizations that have perished naturally.
In places where civilizations are extinct, the luck fluctuates greatly and it is easy for them to be found by some dangerous beings.
"If this civilization is far superior to us in terms of pure physical technology, then we must make a complete assessment to see if it is possible to master it."
"Our population is too small, and we have to give up some overly complex materialistic technology industry chains."
There is nothing that can be done about it. For example, for the 3-nanometer CPU and GPU chips, Lu Yuan actually already has the design drawings sent by humans, but they are simply not able to be produced.
Computers are definitely cutting-edge products of materialistic technology, and they are also top-notch good things. Almost all technologies require computing power! But to make a chip, you need to have a large number of complex industrial chains such as lithography machines, etching machines, wafer factories, photoresists, etc.
This kind of technology tree cannot be climbed with the current population.
You have to give up when you have to give up.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and continued, "If the other party is a level three civilization in the idealistic realm, no, even if it's only a level two civilization... then we have to slow down and see if this civilization has mastered any unique technology and whether it can slowly tap into the resources of this city."
"If there's a risk nearby, we'll find a way to eliminate it!"
At this point, Lu Yuan's expression was a little ferocious: "As everyone knows, the recent national B-level training program needs to last for ten years, and the government deficit is huge. Moreover, after four years, the reserves will be exhausted, and only some people can slide down to C-level."
"Opportunities don't come around often. This could be a great opportunity for us to reach the third level of the Universal Transcendent Level! Maybe we can even allow some people to reach 12 points of Godly Attributes. By then, even if the population is smaller, we will still be able to have the research and development capability to fight ten enemies at once."
Lu Yuan said this and stood up: "Okay, comrades, let's take action..."
"First, investigate the technological capabilities of this civilization."
“Hopefully, the relic lives up to our expectations.”
Yes, this may be a great opportunity for everyone to reach level three, or even for everyone to reach 12 points of god attributes!
Therefore, the crowd quickly took action and divided into three parts in total.
The first is the killer whale team, which asked the conchs and animal lovers to ask the local killer whales what the crisis is and what the so-called "mirage dragon" is. Even if the killer whales are a little stupid, they have invented a simple language and can still communicate.
The other is the flying brigade, which is responsible for high-altitude reconnaissance, commanding water fleas, and exploring some marine supplies.
Finally, there are the scientists at the base camp, who are analyzing the technological level of these materials as quickly as possible.
It's quite difficult. Things soaked in water obviously have a shorter shelf life than those stored on land.
Scientists are also in a dilemma. Apart from ceramics and glass that can be preserved for thousands of years in the ocean, other technological products would have rotted away long ago... They only found some suspicious semiconductor structures, which showed that the civilization did have technology and had reached the level of the third industrial revolution, the information revolution.
It may even be the fourth revolution, the AI revolution!
Everything is moving in a good direction...
Then three days later, a surprising discovery appeared in the view of the command center.
That huge active volcano turned out to be a...super weapon! There were a lot of building remains near the active volcano, even though the volcanic ash spewed out over the past thousand years had buried these buildings.
But from a certain angle, looking down from a high altitude, you can still see a lot of carved structures, shining in the sun.
"Solid Glyph..."
"There are also concrete walls and iron walls... these... may be some kind of energy routes." Lu Yuan recognized at a glance these most basic carving combinations commonly used in the field of architecture.
In addition, this volcano hides a terrifying force...
According to the expert group's simple prediction, this huge volcano is the only outlet for nearby geothermal energy, and the energy it contains is approximately 10^23 joules.
This order of magnitude made Lu Yuan a little confused. You know, according to the energy of a nuclear bomb, which is 10^14 joules, a volcano is roughly equivalent to the power of 1 billion nuclear bombs.
The power of nature is really too strong.
"You mean, they took a volcano with them? Using the volcano to provide energy?"
"No, no, no, that's not necessary. Most of the energy of this volcano is hidden deep in the earth's crust. They can't move the entire crust to the sky."
The geography expert gestured and explained: "My guess is that the civilization specifically found this volcano, so they built a lot of buildings around it."
"As for the purpose of volcanoes, the first is energy supply. Perhaps this volcano is a little special and can produce idealistic energy?"
"The second one..."
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated. He understood - super idealistic weapons! Possessing high-level lethal weapons is an important sign of a third-level civilization! You must know that nuclear bombs are very easy to intercept in this world. Intercontinental missiles can only reach Mach 20 at the fastest speed, and they can only reach that speed after long-term acceleration.
Many people with extraordinary abilities can sense the crisis and respond at the moment a nuclear bomb is launched.
As long as the chip in the missile is destroyed through relatively strong idealistic interference, the nuclear bomb may fail. There is even idealistic technology that can temporarily modify physical parameters, so it is not difficult to make the missile misfire.
But this kind of idealistic weapon is not so easy to intercept - of course, Lu Yuan doesn't know how this volcanic weapon works, and whether it is a weapon is still a matter of speculation.
"If we could move this volcano... well, it's too big unless we settle here."
The surrounding experts had obviously thought of this as well, and they all excitedly discussed it: "The size of this civilization is indeed large enough!"
"The area of 1,500 square kilometers is comparable to the cities of the Green Civilization. The volcano covers an area of 100 square kilometers."
"If there really is a fallen sky city near the volcano, it must be at least a level three civilization, and it may even be a level four civilization."
"Is it more powerful than Green?" someone else asked.
"That's not the case. A green man at his peak could defeat most civilizations with just one poppy tree. The current poppy trees, alas, are probably only one percent of what they used to be. Don't think too much about it. It's already great that we can provide a green paradise."
All those in the know discussed it tirelessly.
The imagination brought by the third-level civilization is too rich. The value of this relic is... unimaginable! Although the Green Civilization is powerful, there is really not much heritage left behind except the poppy tree.
But the one before us is different, especially when humans have just become a second-level civilization and want to take the quality route, it is like a malnourished adolescent who finds a delicious, unopened meal in the trash can.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
All those who knew about the situation had flushed faces with excitement, as if they had been given an injection of chicken blood. They discussed various plans tirelessly and even ate their meals in a hurry.
He would turn a piece of porcelain over and over again and study it for a long time.
The shabby semiconductors, or robots, have aroused the interest of many laboratories.
More and more evidence shows that...it is really possible to be a level 3 civilization, really!
It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that the killer whale communication team finally returned.
"According to what the killer whales said, if you get close to that volcano, you'll be attacked by a 'mirage dragon'."
"There are too many small fish and shrimp, so it will let them go. However, it will attack huge animals like killer whales. So that area of the sea has become a safe haven for small fish and shrimp."
"As for the specific abilities of the 'Mirage Dragon'..." The conch girl bit her lip and rubbed her temple in annoyance.
Those killer whales were too stupid to understand the concept of "superpowers". After communicating with them for a long time, they still couldn't get anything out of them.
"Maybe it's a large-scale celestial control? The killer whales once saw a blurry human figure appear near the volcano, like a mirage."
"After a while, those figures disappeared."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Several big killer whales began to splash water and play. It was obvious that they liked humans very much and they became familiar with them in just a few hours.
"Control of celestial phenomena, mirage..." people murmured to themselves, falling into deep thought.
The conch continued, "There is also the ability to freeze. Before the volcano becomes fully active and erupts, the mirage dragon will find a way to suppress this violent energy... Otherwise, there would be nothing left of the buildings here."
"If the killer whale's description is correct, it can hold down a large volcano, so its power level is quite strong..."
Lu Yuan felt both happy and worried. He was happy because if the "Mirage Dragon" continued to guard the ruins, it meant there would be no other additional risks.
As long as we deal with this guy, the ruins of this city will belong to humans.
The worrying thing is that "large-scale celestial phenomenon control" sounds like an ability at the level of an anomaly.
If this phenomenon originated in this era, then it would be easier to explain and its intensity should be predictable.
If they survived from the previous era, it would be even more troublesome. The old creatures that survived the disaster of the era always have their own survival trump cards.
If it goes berserk, even humans... may not be able to defeat it!
"Does the mirage dragon have intelligence?"
"I don't know. Killer whales can't understand the concept of 'wisdom'."
"Don't be too anxious." Lu Yuan frowned. "Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Be careful and test it. It's always good to have more intelligence."
"How about sending a small boat in?" Jin Dongliang slapped his thigh and came up with a plan, "We can modify the boat to look like a big fish..."
"Then put in some surveillance to see if the ship is under attack."
"If that doesn't work, put a few more pigs on it and install some time bombs. What do you think?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment.
The reliability of radio technology is actually not very high in situations where there is strong subjective interference.
But there's nothing to lose by just trying it out - a small speedboat is still affordable for humans.
"Let's start preparing."
…
The military was very efficient. In less than an hour, a speedboat was covered with shark skin and transformed into the appearance of a shark. It was bloody and had a strong smell of blood.
Two terrified fat pigs were driven onto the speedboat.
The two "Second Brothers" had their limbs tied up and collapsed to the ground, screaming "Ahhhhhh".
The speedboat was also equipped with a physical surveillance camera, a poppy bud surveillance camera, and a hypnotic "Spiritual Rune", but no bomb was installed.
According to scientists' ideas, if a "Spiritual Rune" could hypnotize the opponent and capture him alive, that would naturally be the best result.
If there is no way to capture them alive, there is no need to alert them. Using bombs directly will make them alert, which is not a good thing for humans.
Just like that, the speedboat made a rumbling sound and headed towards the volcano with two unfortunate passengers on board.
People were in the monitoring room, staring at the images fed back by various monitors with serious faces.
