Chapter 336: The Rat King's Exclamation

With this post as the center, gradually, an optimistic attitude appeared in people's hearts.

This atmosphere is subtle, but real.

"So the next step is to set a huge goal: a disaster-free era!"

"Set another super-huge goal: When encountering an epoch-level disaster, refine it in an instant!"

People post joking posts carefully, maintaining the little self-esteem that comes from being human.

This can't even be considered a joke, but rather... mutual encouragement.

Humans are indeed a species that forgets very easily. Only by traveling again and again can we maintain the mindset of this moment.

…

…

At three o'clock in the morning, many people have fallen asleep peacefully. It's not that they are completely asleep, but... they have figured it out.

They felt the significance of big goals and truly felt the value of traveling.

Returning to the mother civilization is indeed just a small dream, not the end.

Therefore, it was completely different from the prediction of the rat man craftsmen. After a night of brewing, human civilization 18 had undergone a slight change.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sun rises, and most people get up early to catch a glimpse of the purple air.

Although the actions were no different from those of the previous days, there seemed to be some differences in the mental outlook.

"Did I see it wrong?"

Shu Gongye stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his beard twitched a few times. "I feel like everyone has changed a little, but I can't put my finger on it."

So he caught a student jumping on the side of the road and asked him what happened.

"Master Rat... because everyone has a more grand ideal. Once some things are figured out, grand ideals always motivate people to do something..." The student picked up his phone and showed him the post. The number of replies in it had exceeded 100,000 and was still increasing.

Everyone agreed on the significance and benefits of traveling.

Still reminding each other: “Don’t forget this moment.”

The mouse worker kept turning the pages, his little eyes narrowed.

This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't a normal civilization numb itself with excuses like "the future is still long" and "I won't live to see that day" and then gradually forget about the problem, continue to live a carefree life, and leave all the worries to the next generation?

Oh, the next generation doesn’t have to worry too much.

It’s just the last generation that needs to worry.

"Young man, you won't see the epochal disaster again." He tried to deceive.

"I can't see it, so I chose to travel far away, to see and to understand. After setting this goal, the road ahead suddenly became clear." The student took back his phone, waved goodbye to Master Rat, and went to the cafeteria to eat.

This completely unrelated answer was understood by Shu Gongye.

They really want to use their life's energy to see the bigger world.

They wanted to leave some legacy for future generations to help them survive the disasters of the era.

Even if it cannot be completed, we must do our best! It is not just words! At that moment, even an outsider like him felt an inexplicable resonance and a kind of...subtle touch.

"Humanity is truly a civilization full of philosophy..."

Shu Gongye exclaimed in admiration, and then felt a chill in his heart.

He just made a bet yesterday, and he lost it the next second?

Who wrote this post?

I lost money immediately! Did you, Commander Lu, write this yourself? But he knew in his heart that if the collective thinking of a civilization was like this, there would be another one even if there was no such author.

With this in mind, Shu Gongye felt a little complicated. He sneaked back to his room, took out the legendary mirror, and started to make a phone call: "My king, my king!"

"What is it?"

"I'm sleeping. It's only a certain time..." The pointed and shrunken face of the rat Huang Feng appeared in the mirror, with a few not-so-smart female rats serving him.

Life in the Shumiba civilization is so decadent. People don’t need to practice cultivation or work. They just spend their monotonous days in drunkenness and dreams.

"My lord, something has happened to humans recently..."

Shu Gongye reported what he saw.

"Oh, oh." Rat Huangfeng listened carelessly.

On the one hand, these rat craftsmen joined humans to take advantage of their luck and create some legendary masterpieces; on the other hand, they actually wanted to observe the potential of humans up close.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help in times of need! Although the Shumiba civilization is wealthy, its development potential is limited. It is also a good choice to find a powerful civilization to invest in as soon as possible.

After all, friendship is something that can only be established in the early stages of an era. In the middle and late stages, there are wars everywhere and people are wary of each other. How can there be any friendship?

"What? Humans have discovered the remains of a civilization? Suspected to be a Level 3 civilization?!"

Rat Huang Feng's body trembled, and he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold. He felt unwell even in such a hot day.

"This is luck. Do you know what we encountered? A group of damn mosquitoes! There are hundreds of millions of them, rushing over to suck our blood!"

"We can only hide underground. We don't know when those damn mosquitoes will leave. Come on, massage my feet hard." Rat Huang Feng scolded the two female rats.

"Not only that, Your Majesty, the human race is in a very good mental state. If it can continue for a long time and not die prematurely... it's hard to say whether it will become a high-level civilization, but it should be a sure thing that it will rise to a medium-level civilization."

"Oh? What new discoveries have you made?" Rat Huang Feng couldn't help but sit up from his lazy position lying on his side.

The racial value of humans...how should I put it? It's actually quite average.

There are too many civilizations in the world that are inherently powerful because of their high racial values.

There are also many second-generation civilizations that are one step ahead of others because of the legacy of their ancestors.

In comparison, humans have no advantage.

The reason for investing in humans in the first place was mainly because of "strong luck", and that luck was concentrated on Lu Yuan.

In other words, he was just giving Old Lu a favor, mainly out of personal friendship.

Don’t underestimate this point, the friendship between peerless masters can save lives at the critical moment!

"It's like this..." Shu Gongye briefly introduced the reaction of mankind when facing the "epoch disaster".

He admired this spirit of facing difficulties head-on.

Then Xiaoxiao mentioned that she lost the bet...

"What? You lost a lot of money!!" Rat Huang Feng seemed to be listening with great interest at first, but the next second his sharp cry almost broke through the sky.

“You deserve to die!!”

"This mirror has a teleportation function. Give me some money..." Master craftsman Shu Gongye shamelessly stretched out his wrinkled and calloused hand, "Give me some knowledge, my king. Hurry, give it to me!"

…

…

Lu Yuan had no idea of ​​the little tricks in the ratman craftsman's mind. When he saw that the human had recovered from the high pressure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Those generations of people did not let him down!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the short term, human society has not changed much, and everyone is full of energy and positivity.

But from a long-term perspective, it seems that a lot has changed - the influence of a grand goal on people is subtle.

Lu Yuan couldn't quite put his finger on this strange feeling, it was just that the operation of each department had become smoother... Well, he, as the commander-in-chief, was still too uncultured. He just felt that everyone's subjective initiative seemed to have risen to a higher level.

In the past, for many things, it was enough to just do them “almost”, but now, there are more people who want perfection.

But there are still many things to do next, and I can’t stop for a moment!

"The first important task is that once the volcano erupts, its power will directly destroy the ruins... and this volcano has been sealed since the last era, so it is not impossible for it to erupt in the next second, so we must prepare countermeasures. And we have to excavate the ruins as soon as possible."

Now the Sky City is more than a hundred kilometers away from the volcano, which is not safe enough.

They had to retreat once again, into the deep sea, and keep a distance of five to six hundred kilometers, or even one thousand kilometers, before they could be safe.

"The second thing is the Mirage Dragon. If it continues to guard its lair once the volcano erupts, it will surely die."

Now people are very enthusiastic to rescue the poor mirage dragon.

There are so many people who sympathize with it, both men and women, young and old.

We still need to pay attention to public opinion.

Moreover, this old dragon is full of treasures, and rescuing it will not be a loss. The cost of that little bit of food and medicine is only a small amount, and a scale of this old dragon can be restored! But the difficulty of this matter is really a headache. A forced melon is not sweet. Even after living with humans for several months, the Mirage Dragon still stays in the dragon's nest and is unwilling to leave.

Even if we spend a lot of effort to capture it and bring it back to the Sky City, we can't imprison it like a criminal. If that happens, it will cause chaos and confusion among the people, which would be bad.

Lu Yuan even thought about "controlling" it! But he found that it would take tens of thousands of spiritual energy to control it, which was a big pitfall, so he had to give up...

Looking at the people in the conference room who had fallen into silence, he cleared his throat and said, "There is a third thing. There are actually quite a few items left in this ruins. Things like nuclear fusion technology and large puppet technology are all excellent technologies that are worth absorbing."

"Before the volcano erupts completely, we have to find a way to dig up more resources. I plan to send the Sky Fortress and a few big insects to assist in the excavation work. We can attack or defend when the time comes."

"Professor Shamo, please introduce our key excavation sites..."

Sha Mo nodded, walked up to the podium, and played a few pictures on the slide projector. (Note: Not the slides on the computer, but the slide projector.) "Friends, we have counted the assets of this large relic." He pointed to the location marked with a red circle on the screen.

"In the southeast corner is the original nuclear fusion power station. It has been submerged in seawater for many years, and many things have rotted away, but it is still a good excavation site."

"The value of various idealistic materials is around five hundred spiritual rhymes, including some superconducting elements, magnetic field generating instruments, etc."

A supernatural item with 100 spiritual charms can provide all people with B-level resources for a year, so 500 is not bad. (The premise is that it is a consumable item.) Moreover, the value of materialistic technology cannot be measured by spiritual charm.

He pointed to another direction on the map and said, "In the southwest is a large puppet manufacturing factory. This is the unique technology of the Source Fire Civilization. This factory is very large, covering an area of ​​5 square kilometers. We should be able to find raw materials with more than 1,000 spiritual charms. This is also our key excavation area."

"The large volcanic seal that spans the ruins of the city is a special shape similar to the Bagua. The value of its extraordinary materials is approximately 48,000 spiritual charms."

"How much?" an expert couldn't help but ask.

Sha Mo said with a sigh: "At least 48,000, and possibly even more than 50,000... This large seal consumed most of the resources of the Source Fire Civilization, but unfortunately, we can't dig out this sealing device."

"Because this super volcano is already on the verge of eruption, once the seal is broken, it will explode immediately."

"I see... what a pity."

There was a buzz of discussion in the conference room.

People couldn't help but feel sorry for it. 48,000 spiritual charms were really exaggerated... How many years could they support everyone? Now they were really depressed by the situation of "only being able to watch from a distance but not to play with it".

Professor Sha Mo smiled and said, "But this seal is also valuable. It involves some knowledge that we don't understand, such as formations. We can look for relevant information and strengthen our city. After all, we still have a [ghost] to deal with..."

"The last wave of wealth is the coffins guarded by the Mirage Dragon... After evaluation, we believe that the value of the materials of the freezer worth hundreds of thousands is about 3,000-4,000 Lingyun in total."

"It's really difficult to obtain this part of the wealth. We have to deal with that old dragon. If we let Commander Lu use the storage space to move it, about 200 ice coffins at a time... we can move them all in no time."

Lu Yuan sighed and nodded: "That's no problem. Three or four thousand spiritual rhymes is not a small number. I will help you do it."

Doing so seems somewhat disrespectful to the dead.

But humans cannot be too pedantic. The "Source Fire Civilization" has already become extinct, and taking away these riches is not a big mistake.

As for the bodies inside, they will be cremated and buried at sea according to human customs, which means dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.

Professor Sha Mo said this and bowed slightly: "Our investigation has almost come to an end."

"Does anyone have anything to add?" Lu Yuan asked.

A professor raised his hand and said: "I think a corresponding museum should be established to commemorate the original fire civilization."

Lu Yuan nodded and said in a loud voice: "This matter must indeed be done, so I have one more request. If you encounter cultural relics and artworks, please collect them intact. They are the final fruits of a civilization."

"Then everyone, act as quickly as possible!"
