Chapter 350 Picked up an...egg?
The extreme tug of war between the two soon attracted more people's attention.
But everyone just smiled knowingly, because there were so many quarrels.
In this young society, even the second generation is only fifty years old, and the subsequent generations are even younger.
A few curious faces emerged from the green belt, watching the quarrel between the second sister and Lu Ying with excitement.
It turned out that the sinister comrade Lu Tiantian was taking his relatives to monitor his second sister.
The little girl's eyes sparkled: "It seems that the second sister is really going to get married... She is so strong, poor Brother Eagle, why did he fall in love with her? Is it because of her big breasts?"
"Let them have a baby and then lock them up in school."
“Come on, she can only donate an egg at most! I originally thought it was impossible for her to fall in love, but now I understand that she still likes handsome guys…” Lu Tiantian subconsciously criticized his second sister, but found that the air suddenly fell silent, and the eldest brother and younger sister began to hold back their laughter.
"What are you talking about?" A female voice with gritted teeth rang in my ears, "You are talking about me, right?"
Lu Tiantian suddenly shuddered and shouted, "Great Commander, OK!"
The second sister Lu Ling was stunned and turned around to say hello. After all, no matter how strong her personality was, she could not be as strong as the commander-in-chief.
As a result, he found out that he had been deceived and there was no great leader behind him!
The family members ran away laughing, and she chased after them angrily!
Such joyful scenes full of fireworks occurred in every corner of the green city. People's mood is always related to the social environment. When disaster strikes, working overtime every day, it is impossible to think about love and other things, and the atmosphere is always a little depressing.
But now, the weather has improved, Commander Lu has returned, and everyone is enjoying this moment of relaxation.
Perhaps this is how human beings are. Only after experiencing suffering can we better enjoy happiness.
…
…
The treasure hunt officially begins on this day! An epic volcanic eruption brings the idealistic minerals from the ground to the surface, making this place incredibly rich!
So humans awakened all the Zerg warriors! A total of 1,500 bugs were baring their teeth and roaring at the edge of the Sky City. Most of the bugs could dig into the ground, except for the producers like the fungus blanket bugs, all the others were sent out!
Because the Zerg warriors are an independent faction, humans also promised that they can devour some extraordinary resources after they dig up good things.
This was also the first opportunity for Zerg warriors to be cultivated. The more they dug, the more they ate! In addition, all kinds of excavators and drills were taken out from the warehouse, including the recently developed large puppets, which were also taken out to dig the ground.
"The first brigade is responsible for area A, leading 120 bugs and 13 machines. There is a small source fire vein there."
"Team Two is responsible for investigating Area B and searching for more mineral veins."
In a treasure hunt, the most important thing is human power… The search team’s manpower quickly increased to 10,000 people.
Divided into ten battalions and one hundred squadrons. Needless to say, everyone was working hard and holding back their anger! Especially people like Lu Ying, who were eager to make achievements and wanted to dig deep into this piece of land!
The steaming earth is barren and the annual surface temperature is as high as 50-60 degrees Celsius, like a steamer.
Thunderstorms are very frequent, and there are occasional small-scale volcanic eruptions and hail.
No one would have thought that this was once a vibrant ocean.
No one could know that there was once a relic of civilization here, and an old dragon silently guarded it...
However, for the members of the treasure hunting team, it has been quite a pleasant time recently. In the first month around the central volcano, they actually dug up 100 spiritual ore! This reason alone is enough for humans to stay here!
Most of the ores found are of fire and flame attributes. Humans may not be able to use them all, but if they encounter other civilizations, they can take them out for trade, which is definitely not a loss.
On this day, it was the rest day for the first brigade of the treasure hunting team, and everyone was chatting and bragging in the tent.
They were about three hundred kilometers away from the Sky City and had not been home for several months.
Fortunately, technology is now advanced, and it is now possible to make a phone call or send a text message.
"Eagle Team, this huge harvest is enough for you to brag about in front of the girls when you go back."
"Huh, are you digging for treasure just for bragging? This is for yourself and for all mankind? I like this kind of life, don't you like it?" Captain Lu Ying said righteously.
"I like it!" All the soldiers shouted. These days are really like chicken blood. It's even crazier than the gold rush on Earth! Everyone is in the room, studying the surrounding map.
Lu Ying was still playing with the jade pendant the girl gave him. He was thinking if he could confirm the relationship and have a sweet love affair when he returned. After all, he was fifty-three years old this year.
No, what we need to do now is to complete our mission! "There are creatures active here... How can we avoid their attacks and get the resources in the lava lake?"
Ten kilometers away, there is a magma lake. Many insect-like life forms are resting and recuperating near the lake.
Like fire centipedes, fire cockroaches, and a kind of stone-like creature, they were moving briskly on the surface of the magma.
These strange things, which came out of nowhere and can absorb energy from the earth's veins, are the focus of scientists' research.
"In just a few hundred years, perhaps a unique ecosystem will evolve."
"That has nothing to do with us... No matter how wealthy this place is, we can't stay here forever."
"Ah, that's true."
One hundred and fifty miles away, there is a giant mountain, which is ten thousand meters high!
This mountain was also the "world's furnace" in the past. Most of the minerals are distributed in a circle with a radius of 300 kilometers near this mountain.
The farther away you go, the fewer minerals there are.
The eruption of the volcano caused its height to rise rapidly, making it even more magnificent than Mount Everest!
But because the volcano is unstable, people have never done anything about it.
"Hey guys, where are you going today?"
Lu Ying asked a group of colleagues who were walking down the corridor with excited faces.
"This morning, we found that the thick fog in the crater has cleared up. It may be stable!" Another captain said with a smile, "We are going to visit the crater."
"Take it easy and don't die. Otherwise, Mother Conch will cry and wipe her tears." Lu Ying said casually.
He was also somewhat moved.
However, the treasure hunting team has a tradition that each team digs their own territory and cannot fight over the territory! "Brother Ying, I know you want to go too, how about we go together? We can share the credit equally. There is no territory divided on the volcano anyway." An officer greeted.
"Uh... I remember the crater seemed to be a dangerous area, so we are not allowed to go there."
“So we also invited Colonel Guo.”
Since he had been invited, Lu Ying would not take a vacation - rest was not as important as treasure hunting. Soon, a total of 16 people in the treasure hunting elite team rode on flying dragons and set off in high spirits. These 16 people basically had some treasure hunting and vision abilities.
In particular, the leading Colonel Guo Dafeng, as a sixth-level master, has a magical skill of "ice control", which allows him to withstand very high temperatures and can move for a short period of time even in magma.
Not long after, with the cry of "Flying Dragon", the majestic volcano "The Melting Pot of the World" arrived. The temperature was a bit high, probably exceeding 80 degrees Celsius.
Guo Dafeng patted the "Flying Dragon" who was feeling uncomfortable due to the high temperature and said: "Find some ore for yourself to eat. Whatever you find is yours. Come pick us up when you hear the whistle."
“Gah!”
The dragon screamed and flew away.
It can be seen that it has been quite happy recently.
The soldiers put on anti-heat suits and climbed up for about a thousand meters to the top of the volcano. There was a super large platform here, and the diameter of the crater alone exceeded 10 kilometers!
The red magma, which is constantly bubbling, is about 1,000 meters away from the cave entrance. It is truly a very unique natural landscape.
Everyone was wearing a gas mask and a lot of equipment to resist high temperatures. They looked at the crater that was bubbling non-stop and took a deep breath.
Lu Ying's eyes flickered, and he was terrified: "So many... Source Fire Crystals! So many!"
On the cliffs, they saw magical crystals that were densely packed like ants and glowing red light.
Source Fire Crystal is the necessary raw material for making puppets, which is equivalent to the function of the engine. "
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At a glance, there were hundreds of thousands of densely packed source fire crystals! "There are also a lot of black silicon!"
Black silicon is a naturally occurring idealistic mineral. In the technological line of the Source Fire Civilization, it can be an equivalent substitute for semiconductor technology.
Even if they are all low-quality materials, they may have a spiritual charm of seven or eight thousand!
"Seven or eight thousand?!"
"I'm not mistaken. This is the biggest mineral source." Lu Ying's voice trembled. "One here is worth a hundred outside!"
Such a huge wealth made everyone's heart beat wildly. They wanted to jump into the magma and pick up those crystals frantically.
"Don't be impulsive! There are obviously some monsters living in this crater, and if the volcano erupts, we will be in trouble." Guo Dafeng is a level six master after all, so he is still calm.
He took out a "humanoid puppet" more than one meter tall from the storage box. It was transformed by human experts after absorbing the knowledge of the Source Fire Civilization.
It has high temperature resistance and can perform some more complex tasks.
Guo Dafeng took out a black object that looked like a laptop.
Of course, it is not a materialistic computer, but a control instrument for "humanoid puppets". Its usage is also quite amazing, and it can be finely controlled through "thoughts".
It is for this reason that large-scale puppet technology is considered to be a truly "unique technology".
"Click, click!" The puppet started to trot.
"This performance is quite good, equivalent to a level 2 junior master."
Under Guo Dafeng's control, the humanoid puppet slowly climbed down from the crater and collected two "Source Fire Crystals" along the way.
Three "fire centipedes" were discovered mating. These are not actually extraordinary creatures. They are a bit similar to silicon-based creatures and a bit similar to Zerg warriors, but they do not have the ability to devour and evolve.
It's quite rare anyway.
Also suffered an attack.
A strange creature that looked a bit like a mouse bit off one of the puppet's arms, then realized that the strange thing in front of it was not a living thing, and slowly lost interest...
"It's really convenient to have this thing." During the investigation, the group kept calculating the mineral abundance, and their hearts were like the magma at the bottom, rising and falling.
The crater has a steep slope and is full of potholes and cave-like structures. Coupled with the hot temperature, it is very easy for humans to get into trouble once they go down there.
“I don’t know when it will be promoted…”
Guo Dafeng smiled and said, "It is said that these puppets also have the function of memory recording."
"We use our minds to control it and it will record the entire process so we can do it exactly the same way."
Lu Ying asked: "Compared with the Poppy Tree's automatic arm, which one is stronger?"
"They each have their own advantages. The Poppy Tree automatic arm is suitable for delicate work. It can be accurate to the micron level and does not require much maintenance."
"The one we have in front of us obviously doesn't work and needs manual maintenance. But it's also good to be able to work offline."
Suddenly, Guo Dafeng was stunned, staring at the screen as if he couldn't believe it, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After a long time, he was still in a daze.
He shouted, "Come and see! What is this?!"
Hearing the scream, all the soldiers gathered around.
They were all shocked by the image on the screen: a small ball of... frost appeared in a small pit about 100 meters away from the magma? !
Yes, you read that right!
The air temperature is almost 600 degrees, and even the screen is jumping.
Frost appeared?!
The members of the exploration team quickly realized something. They widened their eyes in fear and urged, "Quick, quick, Colonel Guo, dig through the ice!"
"It could be the... dragon's corpse..."
"Did it die here?!"
The soldiers really didn’t know how to describe the feelings in their hearts. How should they... view the corpse of the Mirage Dragon?
To be honest, they were able to pick up so many good treasures thanks to the Mirage Dragon.
It was this dragon that delayed the volcanic eruption, and has delayed it until now... allowing people to get a huge bargain.
Otherwise, people would never even think of visiting this volcano!
Do we really want to eat the corpse?
From a utilitarian point of view, this is indeed the best choice.
but……
Guo Dafeng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He controlled the puppet with only one arm, picked up a stone from the ground, and started smashing it non-stop.
The ice layer was terribly hard. It took more than two hours of smashing to break it a little bit, but at least... I could see clearly that there was finally something wrapped in the layer.
People were stunned when they saw what was in the ice. It was... an egg!
