Chapter 358: A Civilization Living on Corals
People still feel a little pressure when communicating with a powerful technological civilization.
Soon, Lu Yuan summoned more senior government officials and military personnel to discuss security issues in the investigation room.
"Although the Sky City is large, there is still no way to defend against nuclear bombs... Although we have engraved a large number of strong carvings on the walls, it is still possible to sink if it is hit by a large number of hydrogen bombs."
The real ability to save lives is something that only a third-level or even fourth-level civilization can possess.
Moreover, whether the unspoken rules of the Eighth Era have spread is also a big question - the benefits brought by war are so high that people have to be on guard against it.
Lu Yuan rubbed his temple and said seriously: "Stop the drifting of the Sky City and send a flying squadron to find the location of this civilization!"
"Make sure to hide yourself well, and return immediately after finding the opponent's position!"
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. Do not attack rashly."
"yes!"
The Flying Squadron is a combination of small Zerg fighters and human scouts.
There are only more than a hundred people in total. Quality is more important than quantity. Each of these soldiers has the "Qi skill" in the direction of reconnaissance, and they are all first-class experts.
"If we find them, will we have a gambling fight?" Jin Dongliang rubbed his hands, "I think we are pretty strong now, and our equipment is up to date."
As a strong person in the field, he was ready to make some moves.
"No, no!" Lu Tiantian was the first to express his objection.
"The reason why the Rat Miba Civilization dared to engage in gambling fights is that they have the life-saving technology of the fourth-level civilization. Even if they are torn apart, they can escape calmly without any losses. They don't care about the deaths of those low-level ratmen at all."
"But we don't have life-saving technology. If we go to war with a technological civilization, the consequences will be disastrous."
"It's not that we can't win... If the city is contaminated by nuclear weapons, it will be a big problem..."
"That's right." Another super thinker, Sha Mo, also agreed, "This set of gambling rules was born under extremely bad conditions. Up to now, the environment has not been that bad."
"If we don't intend to go to war, there is no need to force it."
The Rat Miba Civilization really planned to go to war at that time... If humans were too weak, they would eat them up in one bite! The rat people were not afraid of nuclear bombs and hid in the soil. What about nuclear bombs?
But humans are different.
If a war breaks out between the two sides simply because the other side is also a technological civilization, both sides will suffer losses.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, don't underestimate other civilizations. For example, the Mandala Empire, even though it is a feudal civilization, has a good innate foundation."
"We still don't have a nuclear bomb, alas..."
The uranium ore dug by humans is mainly uranium-238, while the atomic bomb requires uranium-235, which is very uncomfortable.
Experts believe that Pangaea is older than the Earth. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years, while the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years, so the older the place, the lower the uranium-235 content.
Of course, the excess slow neutrons in the heavy water reactor can convert uranium-238 into plutonium-239, which is the raw material for making atomic bombs, so as long as there is enough time, humans can also produce nuclear bombs, but the number will not be too large. Anyway, this matter is quite troublesome, pure physical technology has so many limitations.
"Also, do we need to activate our floating fortress?" asked Colonel Guo Dafeng.
"Well, it is indeed necessary."
The mobility of the Sky City is really poor. It can only move a few kilometers per hour, making it a slow-moving target.
But if we want to have contact with the outside world, we have to send a ship or something, and we have to have a proper and respectable base, right?
In the exchange of civilizations, face is equal to substance! To this end, engineers have carefully built a spare "floating fortress" in the past few years, with a scale of 100,000 tons, the same as that of an aircraft carrier!
This floating fortress also uses the anti-gravity system of Pandora's crystal, as well as turbine engines, radar detection systems, etc., which can allow about 5,000 staff members to survive in the floating fortress for about half a year.
If necessary, it can also float on the water and be used as an aircraft carrier.
This aircraft carrier is the main base for external contacts. Even if it is bombed, the loss can be barely tolerated.
Just like that, after everything was ready, the floating fortress was officially launched.
Compared to the City in the Sky, it is like a little chick, but its size of 100,000 tons is actually not bad. The deck alone is the size of three standard playgrounds.
Moreover, this thing can drift on the water at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and its maneuverability is quite good.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Rows of soldiers were quickly screened out. Lu Yuan felt that there was no need to send too many soldiers, a thousand would be enough, but there should also be some experts to prevent things like "gambling fights" from happening.
Not long after, the reconnaissance team sent a message: "We found the alien civilization! A civilization living on corals, 500 kilometers away from us! It was surrounded by a deliberately created cloud, so it was not discovered at first."
Everyone quickly developed the photos and looked at them carefully.
This strange civilization, about 500 kilometers away, has Gothic-style houses located on a large coral reef.
They have hands and feet, some have scales on their bodies, while others have fair skin and fewer scales.
The most important thing is that their faces and figures are quite consistent with human aesthetics, just like the legendary mermaids.
The females look slim and elegant, while the males have more scales and some fin-like structures on their legs that allow them to swim faster in the water.
"Human subspecies... or merman?" Lu Yuan's mind moved.
Humans are a very common race in Pangaea. People like the Green People, Earthlings, and the Mandala Empire all belong to the human category.
Of course, even within the same race, there can sometimes be reproductive isolation.
There is indeed reproductive isolation between Earthlings and Green People, so Lu Yuan and Hai Luo may not be able to have children... Of course, this is not a big problem in the supernatural era.
The size of this large coral reef is even larger than the City in the Sky. At first glance, it exceeds 1,000 square kilometers!
A large part of it was hidden in a deliberately created thick fog.
This is already the size of a county town in the Great Xia Kingdom, so there are quite a lot of fishmen active on the coral reefs, estimated to be over one million.
"Hey... Is this piece of coral floating on the water?" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly said, "In several photos, the position of the coral reef has changed slightly."
