Chapter 355 Departure Day, and... a new beginning!

No matter what, humanity needs to set off again.

In the big square near Green Supermarket, a girl dressed like an intellectual was dating Captain Lu Ying who had just returned from mining.

"Well... you've had a really hard time these past few years."

For five whole years, I only came back occasionally to rest during the Chinese New Year.

Most of the time, Lu Ying is still out.

The environment outside was naturally extremely bad, hot, dirty, and sunny. Lu Ying became tanned and lost a lot of weight, and he looked smart and capable.

The spirit is still very good.

"Hehe, all these years, I have survived thanks to the jade pendant you gave me. Sometimes I really felt like I was going to be paralyzed, but at least I managed to hold on!"

The young man straightened his neck and said proudly: "When I think about the more resources we dig, the more progress humanity can make in all aspects, I really can't stop!"

"By the way, what have you done in these years? You haven't achieved anything, have you?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and her voice turned cold: "Of course we are no worse than you! We studied the paradigm structure of black silicon and reconstructed the A4331 system..."

"What did you say? Speak human language."

"Humph, illiterate! The control system of the C-type mining robot you use is made by us, don't you understand? Without us, you would just use a shovel to mine."

The girl's voice was a little lower, as if she was expecting the other party to praise her.

She is a professor of information science at the University of Engineering. She works hard every day and her job is very stressful.

However, Lu Ying showed no appreciation and complained loudly, "Oh, that mining system full of bugs turned out to be the work of your research institute... We still need to work overtime to optimize it. I tell you, that thing is like a fool. We call it artificial idiocy, hahaha!"

Although the girl Lu Ling had a strong and cold personality, at this moment, she couldn't help but blush and almost stomped her feet because of what this guy said.

Is there anyone who disdains it as much as you do?

But she admitted that there are some jobs that she cannot do better than others... For example, her younger brother Lu Tiantian is also responsible for manufacturing robots, but he is the owner of the divine skill "Super Thinker", so there is nothing she can do if she cannot compare with him.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this. I have found something good for you in the past few years." Lu Ying rummaged around in his arms and took out a bright ruby ​​with a platinum ring setting underneath.

I don't know which craftsman he asked to make it for him, but it's quite exquisite. The ring setting is in the shape of a small mirage dragon, which took quite a lot of thought.

"Hmph, decorations, they mean nothing to me!" Lu Ling instinctively hated these worthless things.

She is a person who likes minimalist life.

"You don't want it? Forget it, my sisters want it too." Lu Ying laughed. He also has his own small family. He has two younger brothers and three younger sisters, and he is the eldest brother.

The next second, the ring was snatched away.

"It's meaningless. I never said no!" The girl felt that she was being held firmly, and she couldn't help but clench her fists. Where was the calmness that a professor usually had? As they pushed each other, their hands collided.

At this moment, Commander Lu's face appeared on the screen of the Green Square, covering up the embarrassment of the two people.

"Good afternoon, fellow comrades and friends from Green City!"

"Here, I solemnly announce to everyone: We will officially set off on the Sunday of next week!"

"The destination has not changed. It is still the direction of human civilization."

"Since the volcanic eruption and the voice of 'God' appeared, the number of civilizations will obviously become greater and the competition among civilizations will become more intense."

"We are the 18th human civilization, a native Ninth Epoch civilization. Although we have had some adventures, we have no backing and can only rely on ourselves."

"You know, there are still alien civilizations left over from the last era, second-generation civilizations that have already escaped once, and civilizations with materialistic technology that far exceeds ours."

"Just like the civilization that emitted the gamma-ray burst, it could easily wipe us out... We must never be complacent. Once we are satisfied with the status quo, extinction may come in the next moment."

When Lu Ying heard this, he subconsciously tensed his mind and clenched his fists.

But I found that the girl sitting next to me whispered: "You... pinched me."

"Be gentle!"

Lu Ying was both happy and worried. He actually held the girl's hand. Was this considered a successful step? Or did he need the help of the commander-in-chief...

But then again, why don’t I feel this strange sense of happiness when holding a boy’s hand?

This feels so good... Could it be because I have some obscene thoughts? Lu Ying was confused.

"We are certainly not at the forefront right now."

“Only by constantly moving forward, traveling, and seeking opportunities can we provide a solid foundation for future survival and development…”

Lu Yuan paused on the screen and said, "But we don't have to belittle ourselves. Compare the poverty before we came to the Source Fire Civilization. Well, we were indeed poor at that time. The resource gap of all B-level people was huge, and the government's fiscal deficit was also very high."

"Now almost every laboratory has its own research topic, and there is no shortage of funds."

"Our financial problems have also improved dramatically."

Lu Yuan's voice became noticeably higher-pitched.

The low-level materials in the treasury are worth more than 10,000 spiritual charms! There are even several legendary extraordinary materials! (Innate roller steel, dragon egg shells, and a fire-attributed ore) "With the large-scale puppet technology of the Source Fire Civilization, our industrial level has also risen to a higher level. To give the simplest example, the expansion of the Sky City originally required the joint efforts of all mankind for 200 years."

"Now it may be shortened to 100 years, or even 50 years, and it will only take tens of thousands of engineering teams to complete it, and we no longer need to devote all our efforts."

"We have finally made some progress in semiconductor technology. This is the first step in the information revolution."

"This is indeed a big leap forward, but it's not enough and we can't stop here."

"Only by becoming stronger can humans be qualified to advance to a third-level civilization!"

“So, keep going, and keep going!”

Naturally, there was no objection to Lu Yuan's speech.

The whole society is looking forward to it.

The distance, the mountains, the ocean...

Except that the treasure-hunting team, which had been busy for five years, got a long vacation, the life of the people was actually pretty much the same as usual...work when it's time to work, and have fun when it's time to have fun.

So a week later, Green City took back all the mining machines and replenished the water supply.

After the upper council issued the order to set off, as the city in the sky slowly rose, people all looked towards the super volcano with an altitude of 10,000 meters...

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

This is the place of burial, blessing and rise, and humans... may never come back.

Some people are praying, and some are saying goodbye...

Some people are praising, while others are wiping tears...

Then, the city slowly disappeared from the sky.

…

…

First year, sixth month...

The city once again reached the ocean shore and entered drifting mode.

The new continent created by the volcanic eruption has an area of ​​50 million square kilometers, but compared with the vast ocean, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar, so it’s not a big problem to change back to drifting mode.

"Deep sea..." Lu Yuan was at the edge of the city, looking at the boundless ocean.

The sea water is deep blue with a hint of coldness.

“To what extent can the city’s power system be improved?”

"It's difficult. The drift glyph can only reduce friction, but it can't propel the city. The city has too much inertia, so it's too difficult to propel it with propellers. We must at least develop controlled nuclear fusion and use ultra-high-power instruments to make the city go faster."

In today's deep sea areas, ocean currents have decreased and cities are moving very slowly.

The area 2000-5000 meters below the water surface is called the deep sea zone, and the trench is below 6000 meters above sea level. These very deep areas are sometimes called the "hadal zone".

How should I put it? The crises in the deep sea may be less than those on land, but once they occur, they are definitely stronger than the crises on land. Maybe there are super anomalies from previous eras hiding here?

After all, humans are land creatures. Once they fall into the sea, even a strong man like Lu Yuan will find it difficult to survive for a long time.

But people still chose the deep sea.

Because according to scientists' speculation, most of the remains of civilization were actually left behind by "weak civilizations", that is, those civilizations that have been hiding in safe zones, which are also the majority of all living beings.

The real estate of this kind of ruins is worth at most one or two thousand spiritual rhymes.

The knowledge they left behind, such as the upgrade methods of extraordinary fire, elementary glyphs, the cultivation of mutant plants, etc., are of no use to humans.

Therefore, the value of the remains of a first-level civilization is really limited.

And the remains of those powerful civilizations, those with more than ten thousand spiritual charms, are likely to be hidden in some strange and dangerous corners...

This is a very simple idea.

Since the Source Fire Civilization found a world-class volcano to build a shelter, would other powerful civilizations come up with similar ideas?

For example, poisonous swamps, underground abysses, deep-sea trenches, etc.

It is impossible for those powerful civilizations to survive the epoch disaster on the plains, right? It is obvious that they are not that stupid! Therefore, the deep sea is an excellent choice!

But the water pressure in the ocean is no joke, every 10 meters of depth is 1 atmosphere of pressure!

A water depth of 6,000 meters is equivalent to 600 atmospheres of pressure, which is equivalent to a force of more than 600 kilograms per square centimeter. This really exceeds the limits of human beings. Even a seventh-level master cannot withstand it!

Therefore, the treasure-hunting team has fewer ways to explore the deep sea - puppet robots, immortal giant turtles, and... small mirage dragons!
