Chapter 330 Major discovery!
When Lu Yuan heard this suggestion, his expression was almost petrified. The purple secretion was pulled out from the anus of the fungus worm!
It looks unsightly and emits a foul smell.
But after fermentation, it actually emits a unique fragrance, which is deeply loved by many animals (including humans).
Fragrance and stench are really the same thing...
After scientific research, it was found that the secretion contains special trace elements, which are very beneficial for promoting cell growth, strengthening physical fitness and prolonging life.
Some experts have begun to call for the fact that the thing can actually be eaten by humans... If you can ignore the strangeness of its production, it is indeed a rare delicacy.
"Okay, I'll ask the three king insects to help prepare it. How much do you need?" Lu Yuan started to make a phone call.
"Temporarily order 300 kilograms."
Zerg supplies form a self-contained system in human civilization and can be considered Lu Yuan’s private army.
They do not require human nourishment.
Even the oil needed by the carpet worms is dug by themselves.
The resources they produce are basically produced and sold by themselves, with only a small portion sold to humans.
There are also some insects serving humans, and these physical labors actually need to be recorded.
Understanding the changes in economic growth and social contribution is the key to current internal reforms of humanity.
Otherwise, it will be like some collective enterprises, which work hard all year round but end up with a mess of accounts, unable to even calculate whether there is any profit or not. At that time, there will be too much room for rent-seeking.
"Alas, there are still too few resources. Most of the Zerg have not been trained yet and are still dormant."
Lu Yuan was wondering in his heart when he would be able to cultivate Hai Luo's dowry.
At this moment, the best scout, Old Cat, trotted into the room and jumped onto a chair. His bright pupils reflected the light, and he also brought back valuable information.
"Have you found out anything?" Lu Yuan's mind moved and he asked quickly.
The old cat's whiskers trembled. "I took advantage of the Mirage Dragon sleeping and sneaked into the bird's nest-like building. I found a lot of technological creations inside."
"Some of them look like computer hosts, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous, puppet-like things that look like robots."
“There are also a large number of carvings engraved on the nearby walls.
"You know... I really don't understand this glyph thing. The dragon sleeps in the center of the lair, and its snoring sounds like thunder..."
The old cat said, shaking his head.
It is not an intelligent creature and its divine attributes are low, so it is normal that it cannot understand the carvings.
"You mean, it's guarding those important supplies?" Lu Yuan's mood suddenly became hot.
Regardless of what happened in the past, nowadays, everything is ownerless, and the key is to use it for human beings.
He even began to think about how he could enrich himself by stealing a little...
Ahem, it’s not the greedy demon’s fault for being cautious. He has always restrained himself from using public power for personal gain.
It would be a laughing stock if something ridiculous like "the general's kindness" came to light.
The old cat slowly used his claws to draw some images on the white paper: "Don't worry, after exploring for a long time, I think the various heritages in the dragon's nest may have hundreds of spiritual charms."
"I found an exceptionally luxurious basement in the northwest corner. Since the door was tightly closed, I couldn't get in. I had to spend some time looking for a ventilation hole."
"The air in the passage became hotter and hotter, as if it led underground. We went about 10,000 meters deeper and encountered an alloy door."
"This door is made of some special material, it is tight and strong. Plus there is no ventilation nearby, so it is impossible to get in."
"Wait...it's a depth of ten thousand meters, and there's a volcano nearby. Wouldn't that mean we've dug into the magma?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The old cat hesitated for a moment: "I have such doubts, but this is the fact. This civilization should not have space technology, and it is still difficult to deceive my perception."
"So we can boldly assume that there might be a... heavily guarded treasury underneath, which contains a huge amount of resources! There might be thousands of spiritual rhymes, or even tens of thousands of spiritual rhymes!"
"This old dragon has been the keeper of the treasury."
"It looks very nostalgic and loyal. Even though the past civilization has disappeared, it still guards the original place and won't let us get close."
This should be the most reasonable inference, and everyone in the room became excited.
Tens of thousands of spiritual rhymes, what does this mean? Everyone is level 3, more than enough!
Maybe we can train tens of thousands of 12-point God-level experts! The glyph research team will be greatly expanded!
Soon after, people from the neighboring technology team also came over to discuss "information backtracking" and the information that Lao Mao had discovered.
"Mr. Cat actually has this trick!" Lu Tiantian and the others' eyes sparkled. The most powerful artificial intelligence was right before their eyes. Why hadn't they thought of it before? Why were they still picking up trash? They should just study old cats!
Well, the old cat was indeed happy, but its expression was one of disdain; it had to maintain its cool image.
The old cat said indifferently: "That's nothing. When Lao Lu and I were fighting all over the country, you weren't even born yet!"
Ms. Conch reviewed the "historical information" for them, and when they saw the desperate doomsday disaster, they felt somewhat sympathetic.
However, everyone's main focus is still on picking up trash, and some are eager to try.
Lu Yuan exhaled and said resolutely: "Okay, comrades, this is all the information! Next, we have many priorities. The first is to find the nuclear fusion plant and move some equipment."
"Secondly, to appease the old dragon, it would be best to go deep into the underground treasury and get the treasure out..."
"In addition, the exploration and translation work must continue. We don't even know the name of that civilization!"
"Everyone, please take action!"
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since the Green City came to this sea area.
During this period, the 18th human civilization was still very active. Since the talent training system and economic system were improved, some internal reforms were real.
Although in the Green City, houses are allocated for free, and there are no homeless people or beggars, the universal B-level training program only lasts for 4 years, and after that, there will be differences. Everyone must fight for their own future! In fact, this is also helpless. The current human beings are not able to get rid of the concept of "class".
If more resources are obtained in these four years, then the population of Class B will also be larger. If the amount of resources is small, then more people can only be downgraded to Class C.
It cannot be said that Lu Yuan and others are too short-sighted. There is a lot of work to be done and no major breakthroughs can be made in just four years. The current allocation is just a compromise with reality.
In addition, the existence of the "Source Fire Civilization Relics" has gradually been made public.
Yes, after two months of investigation, humans called this civilization the "Source Fire Civilization."
A genuine third-level civilization! Their unique technology is... the creation of large puppets! !
Those are the strange robots that the old cat saw in the bird's nest.
Humans also have their own automation technology, that is, the poppy vine robot based on the "Green Paradise" can replace manual labor and complete many complex processes, such as printers, printing presses, pig farming, chicken farming, etc., and has many applications.
But the poppy tree vine robot has a disadvantage. It is part of the poppy tree and must be connected to the poppy tree before it can be used.
The large puppets from the Source Fire Civilization can be used offline.
It sounds a bit similar to a purely materialistic industrial robot, but it does not require the use of chips, but instead relies on a low-quality extraordinary material called "Fire Source Stone".
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Of course, the specific principles are quite complicated. After all, it is a unique technology, and we can only understand the basics at best.
In addition, after being comforted by Conch and others and eating some purple sticky substances secreted by the "fungal worms", the Mirage Dragon seemed to be addicted to it and finally acquiesced in humans' behavior of digging for treasure in the ocean.
As long as you don't get close to that volcano, it won't attack.
It also seemed to realize that those things that were soaked by the sea water would never come back.
Well... progress is a bit slow, but it's nice to be able to pick up something on the beach.
A team of about two thousand soldiers dives and salvages supplies every day.
Even those killer whales, who are trembling with fear and terrified of the "Mirage Dragon", secretly follow humans in and out every day.
There have been no large marine creatures here for hundreds or thousands of years, but there are many kinds of fish and shrimp, and the killer whales really have a good meal.
They did make some contribution. Under the education of animal lovers, when they saw some strange corals, shells, and mutant fish, they would call humans to catch them.
The saying that "where civilization falls, fortune fluctuates greatly" has been confirmed once again.
The abundance of resources here is more than 10 times that of ordinary oceans. There are many more extraordinary creatures such as blood corals and golden shells than in other places! Even the annual output of "Magic Cube Energy" has increased by more than 20%, providing about 89 points of spiritual charm a year.
I don't know if it's because of the new atmosphere brought about by the internal reforms, or the fluctuation of the fortune of the ruins of the civilization next door...
"It's still a bit slow to find supplies outside."
"We still have to capture the Mirage Dragon as soon as possible and obtain the resources in the national treasury."
On a thousand-ton ship, Lu Yuan sat in the captain's room and held an exploration meeting.
There were about a hundred people on board, including the crew, several animal lovers, translators, engravers, and a few old ratmen who wanted to see what the so-called "large puppet" technology was.
There are not many of them, but they are all elite.
Lu Yuan also showed a recently drawn map with some valuable locations marked on it.
"Our exploration team found the Pandora's crystal on the seabed, which proves that the city of the Source Fire Civilization is indeed a city in the sky."
"It covers an area of 1,587 square kilometers, which is quite large. It can easily accommodate 30 to 50 million people. Unlike Green Civilization City, it only has one floor."
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Due to the difficulty of underwater operations, it was not worthwhile to continue to expend great efforts to dig for the "Pandora's Crystal" here.
"Pandora's Crystal" is indeed very important, but it is distributed in many parts of Pangaea.
Unless it is a particularly primitive civilization, it cannot be sold at a very good price.
He said solemnly: "In addition, this volcano is indeed connected to the earth's crust."
"That is, after the 'Source Fire Civilization' discovered the volcano, they hollowed out their city and nested it inside. But this way, the city can no longer fly in the sky. They value this volcano very much and would rather the city not be able to fly than stay here."
Jin Dongliang suddenly raised his hand and said, "Could it be that the volcano also has rich treasures? Otherwise, why are they staying here?"
Lu Yuan took out a fiery red stone.
The inferior grade extraordinary material emits a high temperature of about 70 degrees Celsius.
"This volcano contains fire source stones, which are the materials used to make large puppets. They engraved the carvings on it, which is equivalent to combining the chip and the power source into one."
"In addition, according to scientific research, the volcano is about to erupt. It may erupt tomorrow or even the next moment. By then, the building where the Mirage Dragon is located will be engulfed by magma. We must hurry up."
His voice got lowered. "If it doesn't work, you guys distract it and I'll teleport in to steal the things..."
This is also a helpless move.
If the volcano really erupts, it may spew out hundreds of cubic kilometers of magma at a time! After solidification, it will be hundreds of billions of tons of volcanic rock! Hundreds of billions of tons, who can bear this? The green mountain that humans have worked so hard to move is only 100 million tons.
If we want to dig out that treasure trove again, even if it's just a crack, it may take the youth of several generations...
“Woo——”
Lu Yuan suddenly heard the old dragon's roar, and he coughed twice and stopped talking nonsense.
That guy has an extremely bad temper and excellent hearing, but once you get familiar with them, he's actually pretty good and won't actively attack humans.
Its normal voice is actually a bit soft, and the "woooo" sound sounds like a dog begging for food.
Animal experts even speculated that it was a male dragon because it didn't seem to lay eggs.
Sperm and such... ahem, really exist?
This guy is actually full of treasures. Maybe through technical means, he can make the cockatrice lady pregnant and hatch her own cubs?
As the ship approached the shore, people saw the "Mirage Dragon" that was a hundred meters long, elegant and beautiful.
It was staring at the ship.
When it saw the zoologists getting off the boat, its eyes were relatively gentle, but when it saw other people, it was still full of vigilance.
After two months of feeding, Lu Yuan was not very satisfied with the result. A big part of the reason was that this huge creature might be really lonely and needed some social interaction, so he allowed humans to land on this island.
