Chapter 334: Message from History
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the ship carrying more than a hundred people returned to the dock of the Sky City.
As the sun sets, the sunlight, like golden foil, is evenly spread on the calm sea.
This world is vast and big, but this is the only place where you can spend the night safely and eat, drink, defecate and urinate without any precautions.
Lu Yuan was quite depressed because of what happened today.
He came to the big canteen and ate a plate of beef fried noodles, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, and three eggs. Only then did his mood improve and he patted his stomach contentedly.
"A mansion with a thousand rooms, but only six feet to sleep, a fortune of millions, but only three meals a day, this is life..."
Lu Yuan saw Miss Conch again with an unhappy look on her face. She couldn't eat anymore after just moving her chopsticks a few times. He couldn't help but tease her, "Madam, you have to think about the situation of the Green Civilization. You are still in the mood to sympathize with the dragon. Isn't this what they call the pot calling the kettle black?"
"Hmph!" The girl's pretty face wrinkled into a ball, and a layer of mist appeared in her bright eyes.
Thinking carefully, she and Lao Long, it seems that there is no difference? So he said coldly: "Scumbag Lu Yuan, dare to laugh at me, sleep in separate beds today."
This really hit Lu Yuan's pain point. He was used to sleeping with a soft and fragrant pillow in his arms every day. If it suddenly disappeared, he would really suffer from insomnia.
He immediately begged for mercy: "I was mocking human civilization, not Green Civilization... Green is a powerful, middle-class civilization that people look up to."
"Medium civilization?" The girl rolled her eyes, looking angrily.
Lu Yuan racked his brains, secretly cursing himself for provoking her, and praised her crazily: "Lvyin is an invincible civilization, and has cultivated a 35-point god's treasure... Even if humans become extinct, I can just take this girl with me, and bring the old cat and the turtle, and wander around Pangu Continent, and I won't be too lonely.
"When I think of this, the anxiety that keeps me awake disappears."
Conch couldn't help but be amused by him. How could there be such an irresponsible commander in the world?
"It's as if you can survive the disaster alone. And...where's the old wolf?"
"It, there is no such thing as perfection in the world."
Hai Luo nodded seriously: "As long as we have tried our best, even if the final result is bad, we should not complain about anything..."
Lu Yuan pinched her ears and said, "What are you talking about? I mean, even if there is a ghost, it would not bother to pay attention to the old wolf. The old wolf's god attribute is only 2 points."
…
After dinner, at six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the conference room to discuss matters related to the "Source Fire Civilization".
There are many participants in this conference, including elites from all walks of life in the Green City, including government officials, engineers, scientists, soldiers, journalists, etc.
It wasn't a very high secret, and there were a few curious ratmen craftsmen looking around, so Lu Yuan simply allowed them to listen in.
While they were waiting, the truth about the extinction of the Source Fire Civilization slowly spread. When they heard that the Mirage Dragon was actually guarding a huge tomb and a false hope, everyone felt sad and depressed.
After seeing everyone gathered, Lu Yuan took out four freezers from the storage space and said, "Comrades, since everyone knows the general situation, I will not elaborate on it."
"Please analyze the cause of death of these corpses. This is related to what the 'epoch disaster' is..."
"No one knows how long an era can last. Maybe it's 50,000 years, or maybe it's just 5,000 years. It's not a bad thing that we have more knowledge."
A rat man said with a sly look in his eyes, "Brother Lu, don't trade your knowledge randomly... The more civilizations that know about the disaster information of the era, the faster the disaster will break out. This may involve the saying of luck."
"What do you mean?"
"Information is also a substance. Some dangerous beings can sense information interaction."
"Also, don't use paper to record some sensitive information. It's safer to communicate telepathically."
Lu Yuan sighed and nodded.
"Please keep the clues about the Era Disaster confidential. This is a military secret. I don't want to hear some folk rumors."
Soon, several scientists divided the four freezers and took them back to the research institute for further study.
In addition, another very important point in this meeting is the additional information obtained by Conch through "information backtracking".
"Then we have Ms. Conch to show us these contents."
Hai Luo actually has a slight social anxiety. She doesn't like to show up in crowded places, but with Lu Yuan by her side, there is no need for her to be stage-frightened.
He sighed softly, walked onto the stage, and the simple little mirror in his hand emitted a dim blue light.
On the podium was a shabby city model, and in the middle of the model was a towering volcano.
When the small mirror shone on the volcano, it vibrated with a "buzzing" sound.
After a few minutes, a blurry image appeared in the mirror.
The surrounding projectors project the images in the mirror onto a white screen.
A mysterious piece of historical information is presented before people's eyes...
…
…
The magnificent Great Hall was as dark as ever. The sunlight could not penetrate the thick eaves. Even at five in the morning, puppets had already come to the Great Hall to clean up and prepare the details for the meeting.
Thousands of Yuanhuo people gathered here to discuss major issues of civilization.
"Everyone, according to reliable information from ***...what is about to happen in the future...is likely to be the greatest disaster of this era..."
"Most of the civilization is no longer active... carrying out final construction..."
"Those that are still active are mostly crazy civilizations that are proficient in killing and war. They just want to obtain spiritual energy and it is impossible for them to communicate... So we must find a place..."
This speech was intermittent and the information was very incomplete. It was reported by a tall and slightly old Yuanhuo man on the rostrum.
The crowd in the mirror was also in an uproar.
"Prime Minister, is this an epochal disaster?"
"Perhaps, it is true."
The epochal disaster seemed to have occurred earlier than they expected! But how could a civilization like theirs survive the catastrophe? "What is the epochal disaster?"
"Is it the resurrection of the [ghosts] in large numbers, or is it…"
"**** (unknown noise)"
"(*More unknown noises)"
"Bang, bang!" Two heavy knocks were heard from the head of state on the rostrum. "Everyone, stop discussing those meaningless things."
"We have to avoid this disaster. With our current strength, we can complete the project. Everyone, please think of a way."
"Don't think about relying on those powerful civilizations... They are busy with their own affairs... We are just relying on the spirit of the past."
"Even if... there are fewer people surviving... as long as some people can survive, it's good. Can we appreciate the scenery of the Ninth Era?"
The old man's gaze seemed to penetrate the screen and stare at the humans in the conference room.
…
These words really resonate with me.
Several reporters were shaking with fear and dared not utter a word.
Think about it, if humans were faced with this kind of dilemma, what would they do? At the last moment, each civilization showed its magical powers! The powerful "Da Lai Empire" could take the [Ghost] and run away to another planet, while the weaker Green could even hold an "Ascension Ceremony", and the Shumiba Civilization and the Vision became one.
Low-level civilizations like Yuanhuo can only build a shelter in the magma and bury themselves in it.
This is really a dirt road.
Normal people would know that the success rate is damn low! ! But in the planning of the Source Fire Civilization, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that the success rate... is actually somewhat high.
Because the volcano they found is quite awesome, it is called "The Great Furnace of the World" and covers an area of 50,000 square kilometers.
Even the famous "Gear Civilization" has drawn energy from here.
The energy contained in it is extremely terrifying. Once it erupts, it will cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split. It can evaporate an ocean and create a continent! This powerful energy level may be able to avoid many, many anomalies.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Even if they were ghosts, they couldn't swim in the lava, right?! In addition, they had a loyal dragon! The Mirage Dragon's freezing ability was just enough to delay the eruption of the volcano.
In the mirror, so many Source Fire people quickly came up with a good idea.
"The original 'World Furnace' will erupt during the epochal disaster and become part of the cause and effect of destroying the entire Pangu Continent."
"But if we can find a way to delay its outbreak until the next era, maybe..."
This is a typical case of darkness under the lamp.
Because of the existence of the "World Furnace", it is impossible for civilization to come to this sea area.
Since civilization is unwilling to come, the number of strange phenomena is naturally very small - does everyone have the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm?
When everyone thought that the "World Furnace" would erupt and turn the entire ocean into a plateau, it did not erupt! Maybe the Source Fire Civilization can survive?
I have to admit, this method is really clever...
Of course, to delay the volcanic eruption, one mirage dragon is not enough, and a large number of complex sealing projects are also needed.
Therefore, the Source Fire Civilization invested most of its extraordinary resources into this massive super-sealing project.
Equipment and weapons don’t mean much at the last moment, as most of them are transformed into spiritual charm.
This fact made Lu Yuan sigh deeply. Could it be that he could only pick up some leftovers? Never mind, that was fine... Those messy ruins, at most, were worth tens of thousands of spiritual energy, which was also a huge fortune.
The picture in the mirror ends here.
It is quite good to be able to find so much information from a volcano model.
The conch said nothing, but just sighed softly.
He took out another technological creation that looked like a camera.
“It also contains a small amount of information.”
The camera has been stored until now and it is obviously unusable and the information inside cannot be read.
However, when the mirror shone onto the camera, it vibrated again and a blurry image appeared.
It is a conversation between a girl with a gentle appearance and wings on her back and a mirage dragon.
"A Shen, listen carefully... When the epoch disaster begins, you must rush into the crater and use the magma to protect yourself. The deeper you go, the easier it is to survive."
"Roar!" The Mirage Dragon at that time was so arrogant and high-spirited.
There was a faint hint of mockery at the corner of its mouth.
That agile body has an invincible temperament.
"Okay, this is my last request to you... This disaster is really different from the previous ones... Don't face this disaster head-on, don't do it."
The girl stroked the bright scales of the Mirage Dragon, sat on the emerald green grass, and sighed softly: "In the future, we may not be able to meet each other..."
The mirage dragon was silent.
Fragile creatures, what does it matter if they can't meet? During its long life cycle, the keepers have changed countless times, and when one grows old, a new one will come.
It's no big deal.
However, while thinking this in his heart, he couldn't help but pluck a small scale from his tail and gave it to the girl as a small parting gift.
"Actually, I was wondering, what would you do if...if we couldn't get out of the shelter?"
The girl turned her head and smiled: "Would you like to live freely on this continent? That is... well, if we all die, you don't have to... Oh, forget it, whatever you want."
She hesitated to speak and just lay down on the grass.
"What is the world of the Ninth Era like..."
The Mirage Dragon bared its teeth and laughed silently.
The girl's face darkened again: "Don't laugh at me, it's just... everyone actually has no confidence, I don't have any confidence either..."
"And you have to watch over this volcano and prevent it from erupting. This puts all the pressure on you..."
"I am a nobody, just a breeder, and I can't help much... I am just talking nonsense here."
"Hey, how about I take a picture of you!"
"At least today, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west! Let us cherish the last moments." The girl set up her camera and spread her wings.
The background of the photo is the mirage dragon. It still holds its head proudly, with its tail also raised high. It opens its mouth and grabs the girl, throwing her onto its back.
"Ouch, you bit me so hard!"
The girl laughed and then started to cry, and she began to sing softly.
The singing was clear and soft, as if it was floating in endless time, with a hint of sadness.
"Where will I be a thousand years from now?"
"Where will we be ten thousand years from now?"
Immediately afterwards, a large meteor shower appeared in the sky.
A sharp whistling sound spread across the sky...
The epoch-making disaster began on this day...
