Chapter 335 A truly powerful civilization is always indomitable
The image in the mirror completely disappeared at this moment.
Only the silent people were left in the conference room.
It's a really sad story, especially, contrasting the past with the present.
The strong dragon and the old dragon...
The Proud Dragon and the Humble Dragon...
The invincible dragon and the humble dragon...
It even learned to beg, begging Lu Yuan not to enter that tomb, because all its hopes were hidden there.
As long as no one enters, those Source Fire people will remain in hibernation and just fall asleep.
However, nothing is eternal in this world, everything is changing. When everything returns to dust, who can prove that we have ever been here?
…
…
The three keywords, Epoch Disaster, Source Fire Civilization and Mirage Dragon, are not very popular due to the government's deliberate control.
However, after careful discussion, the upper parliament decided to inform the public of most of the contents in detail.
"We have been investigating the Origin Fire Civilization for more than two months. After detailed research by scientific researchers, we are now informing the citizens of Green City of the general cause of the extinction of the 'Origin Fire Civilization'."
The 7pm news broadcast is a daily compulsory course for citizens of the Green City.
In this era without computers and with poor mobile phone performance, watching TV has become the best entertainment option, so the ratings of the "News Broadcast" are exceptionally high.
This time, the news broadcast lasted an exceptionally long time, and it was originally scheduled to be over in half an hour.
But this time it was broadcast for a full two hours!
"Epoch-making disaster" - this keyword attracted everyone's attention at an extremely fast speed, and the streets were almost deserted.
At the beginning, everyone just listened for fun, eating melon seeds and talking about the mountains... What kind of epoch-making disaster is this? It's too far away, right?
By the time the disaster strikes, we will have been dead and nothing will be left.
What's the point in thinking about that?
But gradually, gradually, a sad atmosphere lingered in every corner of society.
In the evening self-study classrooms in the school, students held their breath, stared at the TV, and tears welled up in their eyes.
The diners in the cafeterias held their chopsticks in their hands, motionless. Even though the food was cold, they didn't bother to take a bite...
The epochal disaster is a tragic event that is bound to happen.
But this time is a little different from the past. This time there is a "Mirage Dragon" alive, acting as a gravekeeper. In addition, the "Source Fire Civilization" is a third-level civilization that can be imagined and touched, so the empathy it arouses is particularly profound.
The disaster of the era is difficult to survive.
Even whether a civilization like the Dalai Empire survived is still an unknown.
When you know nothing, you feel that there is a chance if you try hard; but the more you know, the more you will find that surviving a disaster is as difficult as fishing for the moon in a well.
Only despair.
…
"If you make this public, is it possible that it will overwhelm the will of mankind?"
Lao Mao was actually a little hesitant to fully disclose this matter: "You know, if people are unable to do anything no matter how hard they try, then they will choose to lie down and give up, or even cause internal chaos."
The brains of the Source Fire Civilization are no dumber than humans! They have also encountered many things, such as "Mirage Dragon", "Advanced Puppet Technology" and "World-Class Volcano" in the Eighth Era.
What humans can do, they can do too! But the final result is...
The old cat was very worried.
"No! This is something we all have to understand. We have to focus on the present and take every day seriously."
"And the spirit of perseverance is also a necessary quality for a powerful civilization." Lu Yuan said seriously, "If even this reason is crushed, then the human race is indeed destined to be extinct."
"All right……"
Old Cat agrees with this point.
If humans want to develop, it is not enough for Lu Yuan to be strong alone. More people must stand up. In the previous bet with the Shumiba civilization, a golden pillar stood up.
But this is far from enough. True masters must emerge in various fields such as science, industry, and craftsmanship.
In other words, the kind of people who can be treated with courtesy when visiting other civilizations are the ones who stand out.
"In fact, I've been wondering what humans lack. Everyone is actually quite motivated, and it seems that there is nothing that can be improved."
The average quality of people in these generations is quite high.
The resources given to them are also good. The people on Earth are not yet so educated.
Lu Yuan clenched his fists and whispered, "Now I finally understand what they lack, a real, big goal that can guide their lives!"
"Our first goal is to return to the human world and meet our mother civilization."
“The second goal is to survive in this cruel world for a long time.”
"The third major goal is to survive... the epochal disaster!"
Although this has always been written in textbooks, when students study, it is just like an old lady reciting scriptures to cope with exams.
At most, they can understand the first small goal: What is the meaning of traveling? Oh, to go home, there is still a human mother civilization, go back to see how the mother civilization is developing.
This is the limit of students' imagination!
The other two goals are completely clueless, general, formalistic, and exam-oriented!
However, this time, the precedent of the "Source Fire Civilization" is before us, and the most important thing is that there is a living tomb-guarding dragon here.
I even found relevant information! That red light, the last “Mom”, “The Keeper and the Dragon”…
There is no better educational material than this!
You can't buy these with spiritual charm! Lu Yuan took a deep breath, looking forward to the reaction of the human crowd.
…
It was a sleepless night.
There really was a kind of panic-stricken fear pressing down on the green city, and before we knew it, a light rain began to fall from the sky.
The raindrops fell on the flowers, plants and trees, making a rustling sound.
In each room, some people were crying, some were sad, and some were silent.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
People really began to seriously discuss the epochal disaster "far away in the horizon"! Lu Tiantian, Lu Yue and others even bought a bottle of pomegranate wine to honor Master Mouse Gongye.
In fact, even the second generation of humans have not suffered too much, and their hearts are very soft. The existence of tragedy always makes it easier to touch people's hearts.
"Let's drink today and worry about tomorrow." Shu Gongye drank a glass of wine and sighed, "Thinking about this kind of thing is just worrying about nothing!"
"You are so inexperienced, why are you considering these things?"
Lu Tiantian smiled and said, "Master Rat, we are here to seek knowledge, please teach us. Even if I give you all the A-level resources, it's fine... I just want humans to grow up as quickly as possible."
Shu Gongye snorted coldly. Your stuff is worthless. I am a master craftsman. Why would I care about A-level or S-level? But he also knew that this great scientist, to a certain extent, represented the attitude of human civilization under panic...
He sneered, "An era is so long... You'd have died a long time ago, so who cares if there's a flood after you die."
Lu Tiantian just smiled apologetically: "As long as the master teaches us something we don't know. Survival and death are too big, so just focus on the present."
Shu Gongye's green eyes turned slightly and said, "How about we make a bet... How long will it take for you humans to recover? Will you just lie down or become more motivated?"
"Mouse, don't bully children. Are humans probably scared by the disaster of the era?" The mice burst into laughter.
"We're going to stay here for a while!"
"It would be so boring without that energy."
Why did the Shumiba civilization decline? Because... there was no hope.
…
More and more people are watching.
Discussing, doubting, silent.
I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
With our lifespan, it is highly likely that we will not be able to witness an epoch-making disaster.
We... don't need to worry.
We can live our lives comfortably and peacefully.
The life and death of future generations...is not that important.
However, if we spend our whole lives fighting against disasters that are bound to happen, isn’t that a kind of romance? A young boy wrote in a forum: “I suddenly understand the meaning of travel.”
"From one place to another, I wandered around, encountered different things, wars, crises, civilizations, relics..."
"There was a time when I understood on the surface, but deep down inside... I didn't understand."
"I also yearn for a comfortable life. Every time I set out on a journey, I feel a little uneasy."
"I hope that civilization will become stronger and stronger, just to feed back to myself, so that I can live a better and more comfortable life, but I am secretly unwilling to be the price."
“It’s just that huge force that pushes me and urges me to go far away.”
"I was in a daze, swept up in the crowd, looking at the whole world."
“But today, I leaped from the ocean of people onto the high clouds.”
“I glimpsed a beautiful future.”
“I want to witness more stories.”
"I want to become stronger, not just myself, but us... We have to become stronger!"
"I want our descendants to be able to raise their little fingers with a clear conscience and say *** with contempt when facing the disaster of the era..."
Okay, the last sentence is a swear word, but in this situation, it is particularly true.
Soon, someone commented: "After reading your remarks, the anger in my heart suddenly dissipated."
"I was wondering why I felt so bad. Thanks to this philosopher for clearing up my confusion. It turns out that I lack foresight and have no real goals in life."
Someone else said: "We are indeed not far-sighted enough!"
"The Epoch Disaster is real and can be felt! To survive the Epoch Disaster and not repeat the tragedy of the Source Fire Civilization is a grand goal."
