Chapter 434 [Ancient Insects], and... the Living Mountain

"According to humans, they seem to have a great way to treat tumors... The prerequisite is that your vitality must be strong enough to last until the moment of cure."

"Otherwise, everything will be in vain."

The diplomats of the Underground Alliance fell into silence.

This plan seems to make some sense.

They were conflicted.

"Can the ancient insect survive?"

have no idea.

But this is indeed what human beings really think.

First inject the energy of [Deformation·Ghost] to drive out the [Withering] with a higher mortality rate, and then... wouldn't it be possible to turn the unknown into the known? Humans are the best at treating deformity symptoms! There is even a ready-made Zerg organ "Anti-Deformity No. 1", which can be arranged in large quantities for you. Transplanting one hundred or one thousand organs is not a problem.

This is the simplest solution with the highest success rate!

If you want to study other methods, it will take a lot of time, as much as fifty years.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan was reluctant to sacrifice the lives of the scientists. Withering was too damaging to the body and soul, and he had to protect several great professors such as Lu Tiantian and Lu Linsen.

Before forging high-level protective equipment, it is better to avoid contact with it.

"Can't they use stronger insects for the experiment? If they get a successful case, I can go back and report to the authorities." Oshima Kou said with a bitter face.

"Sir, the other party has estimated that it needs at least the vitality of an Overlord to have a chance of survival. Where can we catch an Overlord for them to experiment with?"

The Slant-Eyed Clan expert lowered his voice: "Moreover, in the process of the laboratory, a large amount of life force must be transferred, which consumes spiritual energy... That is not a small amount, it can easily cost hundreds or thousands..."

"We will definitely pay for this research. We really can't afford it."

"Now humans are just showing us the treatment ideas. The plan at that time will definitely be more rigorous than the current one."

The matter was of great importance, and Oshima Takashi did not dare to make a decision on his own. He could only send a telegram to the rear, explaining the causes and consequences.

The top leaders of the underground alliance were also very confused - what if the cure killed it? In the end, it was the chairman of the alliance who made the final decision: "It must be cured! Otherwise, the ancient worm will not survive for too long, and it will die sooner or later!"

"Invite their scientists to come to the cave!"

…

Time passes day by day.

The expert group has been conducting experiments and studying various details. We cannot be too hasty about this matter. We only have one chance and we must be prepared.

And human craftsmen have been studying the "small gear heritage".

Although Lu Yuan's forging skills are superb, his personal style is too strong, making it difficult for ordinary craftsmen to learn.

Lu Yuan even subtly distorted the moral standards among craftsmen. The path he took was not at all a path that could be popularized among the general public.

Craftsmen who imitate him often find it difficult to make any progress.

On the contrary, humans can learn from the skills and concepts of the master craftsman's furnace wheel. Soon, several craftsmen imitated the "furnace wheel" and found their own way.

As a result, through mutual collision and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, the technical level of human craftsmen is also gradually improving.

Who knows, the next burst of inspiration could forge a legend? As for the Zerg warriors in the Green Mountain, they started to grow mushrooms seriously.

Due to the lack of planting experience, the current output is not much, and the annual estimated income is only... 1-2 Lingyun? Lu Yuan waved his hand and directly promised that they can produce and sell by themselves, and do not need to contribute to humans.

This immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the Zerg! The three kings even became active learners, busy every day studying how to increase production, and even began to study biological papers.

“Everyone is very busy.”

As for Lu Yuan himself... he is quite leisurely. His main job is to cultivate the next generation of talents, to shape correct values ​​for them and to enhance their self-confidence.

The next small goal: a population of one million, achieving level 3 for all! And let 5% of the population with decent talent climb to 12 points of godly attributes! By then, there will be 50,000 more low-level glyph engineers, and the idealistic productivity in the glyph field will be increased by about 10 times, which will bring about earth-shaking changes.

This is Lu Yuan’s short-term goal for the next 20 years.

He is looking forward to that day.

…

Just like that, six months later, after the biological laboratory in the Sky City conducted a lot of experiments, accumulated data, and determined a specific plan, the underground diplomatic team finally arrived at the day of returning underground.

This time, the number of soldiers was much smaller. The human side prepared 20 medical experts and a lot of strange medical equipment. In addition, the little mirage dragon also had to be on the scene. Its "mirage space" ability could avoid a lot of trouble. Especially now that the density of insects is five or six times that of six months ago.

Since it has been confirmed that the disease needs to be treated, people naturally know the name of the patient - [Ancient Insect], a mysterious vision that has lived in the cave for a long time and seems to be the guardian of the gear inheritance.

As for the rest of the information, the Underground Alliance was unwilling to reveal too much. Anyway, they would know it when they met.

"It's time to set off again. I hope everything goes well this time. It shouldn't take long before we're back." Lu Yuan said goodbye to his relatives and friends.

After lying in a gentle harbor for half a year, there is always a feeling of laziness and comfort.

But isn’t the meaning of life to struggle? “Take advantage of this opportunity to get more mushrooms… you’re just sitting around doing nothing anyway.” The old cat secretly reminded Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said disdainfully: "Master Cat, it's only been half a year, and it hasn't grown yet?"

He kissed the girl on the forehead and then boarded the plane.

"Let's go! Goodbye!"

The engine started with a rumbling sound, and 10 hours later, the plane arrived at the airport in the front-line fortress.

There are 5,000 soldiers, Zerg scientists, diplomats, and journalists on duty here all year round, and the staff is rotated about every six months. As the construction continues, various entertainment equipment is also transported from the rear, so it is not so hard.

After getting off the plane, Lu Yuan first greeted the current front-line commander, Colonel Jin Dongliang.

"Hey... nothing big. It's just that the number of insects is increasing rapidly, but they are all new insects, not very powerful..." Jin Dongliang saluted and reported, "The high-level Zerg riot six months ago has gradually stopped. It has been a long time since we have observed high-level Zerg appearing in shallow rifts."

"Then let's go."

The little mirage dragon activated the mirage space, and a thin layer of soap bubbles enveloped everyone.

From this perspective, Little Mirage Dragon has indeed grown. There are a total of 80 people in this group, plus 8 Source Fire Mechas and a "Greedy Demon" mecha.

"Da Jin, are you okay? Can you move?"

"Roar!" It roared at Lao Lu, full of confidence, "Don't look down on me!" But after trying it, it almost cried.

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

80 people plus 8 mechas are not so difficult to carry, as the combined weight is only 5 tons, which is manageable.

As a result, the "Greedy Demon" weighed more than ten tons, like a piece of steel. What a ghost thing.

Lu Yuan smiled and reluctantly activated the Pandora's crystal coat on the "Greedy Demon", making the body float up. Now he could finally move it.

“Whoosh!”

The little mirage dragon brought everyone down at lightning speed.

We encountered a large number of Zerg along the way.

A characteristic of mirage space is that it leaves a shadow.

When the Zerg saw the shadow, they were very confused and even flapped their wings to chase it. In the blink of an eye, a Zerg storm was formed. Fortunately, they had little intelligence, and the storm came and went quickly.

In less than half an hour, people arrived at the "Stone Fortress".

"It's really convenient..." Oshima Tsuyoshi returned to his own territory and sighed softly, "Wait a moment, guests."

"I will report to the leader, and then we will head to the underground cave."

The little mirage dragon twisted its body flexibly, swimming around people, showing off its strength.

"Okay, okay, from today on, the task of picking mushrooms will be left to you." Lu Yuan teased.

"Roar!" The little mirage dragon agreed.

Everyone laughed.

The reason why they didn't send the little mirage dragon here at the beginning was obviously to guard against the underground alliance...

A vision, even a corpse, is worth a lot of money! But now that the relationship is harmonious, it can be displayed openly.

About half an hour later, Oshima Gang received a notice: "Dear guests, our alliance is ready for reception, please follow me."

People boarded a rail train.

This rail train is completely enclosed and has no windows, so people can hardly tell the specific direction of travel.

However, judging from their physical sensations, they seemed to be heading underground along the railroad tracks.

Lu Yuan secretly activated the perception ability of the "Greedy Demon", and activated the "Explorer's Eye" and "Pioneer's Eye".

Suddenly, his senses penetrated the thick iron wall and he sensed the bumpy rocks and the howling wind outside.

A huge amount of information was fed back into his mind.

This is a deep cave that leads to an unknown depth underground.

30,000 meters deep...

40,000 meters...

50,000 meters...

The length of this cave is astonishing, with many twists and turns, stretching for three thousand kilometers. Such a large amount of work is obviously not something the Underground Alliance can accomplish.

"Could it be... that it's not natural?"

The walls of the cave were quite smooth, and even had a little bit of...elasticity? After the train passed, the cave behind it actually began to shrink slowly, and finally closed completely and turned into rock.

After realizing this, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "No wonder the Underground Alliance was able to keep the secret of the 'Dongtian'..."

"This mountain path is actually alive?!"

After traveling for about 7 hours and 1,600 kilometers, the speed of the rail train finally slowed down.

We have arrived at our destination.
