Chapter 462: Drinking and Talking and... the Day of Departure
Lu Yuan poured out the exquisite wine jug. Not a drop of wine was left, but it was filled with an intoxicating era.
More than fifty years have passed like a vast ocean.
The medal symbolizing friendship on the pot is as bright as ever.
"Friends, this is my gift to you." Lu Yuan took out 12 exquisite flower pots.
Poppy tree branches were grafted into the flowerpot.
"This branch originated from a [monster], and is also the foundation of my human civilization."
"Through it, we can achieve long-distance dream communication. If we encounter something interesting in the future, it would be a good idea to share what we have with each other."
"It's also very simple to use. Just let the dreamer stand next to the flowerpot and enter the dream."
The 12 ethnic representatives of the Underground Alliance did not dare to neglect and each took a flower pot and put it away.
With this way of communication, their original reluctance was immediately released.
The bull shouted loudly: "Will we be able to hold a racial meeting in the future? We, the Bullhead Clan, cannot fall behind, not even in our dreams!"
"Haha, that's right, Ratman Craftsmen, you know, the Shumiba civilization also has this branch. And the friendly civilization we met before... the Lize civilization, there are other human branches." Lu Yuan revealed a piece of news.
"We have to develop better, otherwise we will have no say and become marginalized people."
However, there has never been a racial conference... Lu Yuan thought to himself, mainly because even if it was held, no one would know what to say.
With this thing, everyone was talking and laughing, and their mood became cheerful.
Lu Yuan walked to the outermost edge of the open-air venue. There was a huge black beetle squatting near the Green City. Around it, there were two strange visions, a small mirage dragon and an immortal giant turtle, which were eating the purple thing crazily. Even the old wolf joined in the fun, eating until Jill was stiff.
"Can it enhance sexual performance? Impossible..."
After so many years, these guys became good friends.
The Immortal Giant Turtle was still bragging and accusing the "Da Lai Empire" of its brutality towards him.
However, the ancient insect did not know what the "Da Lai Empire" was. Perhaps it once knew it, but has now completely forgotten it.
"Senior, this is my gift to you."
Lu Yuan took out a golden sculpture from the storage space. It was about the height of a person and looked like a magnificent small temple.
The whole picture of Green City is depicted on it. The lines are thick and powerful, and it looks like it was casually carved without any details.
But if you savor it carefully, you can feel a unique charm flowing in it, as if you can taste the warm and unrestrained atmosphere of this city.
A relatively high-standard [temple] that allows for long-term communication cost him a full 11 points of luck!
Adding the 5 points for supporting Yunhai City, the civilization points he has accumulated in the past 52 years are only a little over 1 point! (Currently 65502.2)
Well, the money earned must be spent, and anyway, my principal has not been used, so it’s not a big problem - Lu Yuan could only comfort himself in this way.
The ancient insect also knew the importance of this matter. The moment Lu Yuan took out the golden palace, its long antenna stretched out, almost exceeding the speed of sound, took it away, and swallowed it into its stomach.
After feeling the extraordinary energy contained in the [Temple], Gu Chong was very satisfied: [New Mythology, you can always find me if you have any questions. If you have any guests one day, just give me a call and I can be there to support you, the new Emperor of Heaven.]
Lu Yuan looked worried and said, "I can't bear this title."
[Don't worry about the civilization here. With me, Gu Chong, taking care of it, it won't be a problem for it to survive until the end of the era. If it really doesn't work out, just cut off the inheritance and hold on to the next era. It's not bad to be a homeless alien... I just don't know if there will be a 10th era. ]
"Senior, you still have to encourage them to go out. Although this place is good, it is not the real dragon's rise..." Lu Yuan said, "If they stay here for too long, they will become completely lazy. It's okay to go out and try your luck first, and then come back at the end of the era."
[Humph, this depends on whether they can fight for it. How can a bug like me push everything?] The ancient bug lowered his voice, as if he remembered something.
It was the incarnation of the soul of an ancient demon. At that time, the ancient demon had also established a civilization. Various vague details flashed back and forth in its mind.
A well-developed civilization is a great help.
If they don't develop well, they will become a burden.
It said in a low voice: [If it really doesn't work, let the minotaurs go on their own. They do have great ambitions. As for the others, well, I don't know. It depends on fate.]
Lu Yuan became even more worried. Is this letting Niu Niu die?
But everyone has their own ambitions, and he can't control those minotaurs, let alone give any suggestions...
Many people were drunk on this day.
The cow even shed tears and wanted to join the humans, but was persuaded to stop. This was a life-and-death separation drama...
Then, it's time to say goodbye to each other.
…
In the last month, the two sides jointly held the final mathematics competition, with more than 100,000 students participating!
For projects that we are currently collaborating on, we also need to make a final project summary.
After all, once you leave, you will never come back and you will never find the other party’s experts to answer your questions.
And the children also have to do some farewell things to each other, such as writing letters, time capsules, giving each other gifts, etc.
These things are progressing in an orderly manner.
The military of Green City began to recall the front-line working groups. Assets such as fortresses, which could not be taken away, were directly given to the Underground Alliance.
As for excavators, drills, and various drones, those that can be recycled should be recycled, and those that can be sold should be sold.
Another month passed.
At the top-level meeting in Green City, Comrade Guo Weiqiang from the logistics department gave a detailed report on all the current human property.
"We have 120 million tons of coal resources, enough for one million people to survive a hundred years of extreme cold. We also have a hundred years of food reserves, which are stored in the tiankeng."
"Our coal chemical system is also relatively sound. This technology comes from the underground alliance. Coal can be converted into a large amount of organic chemical materials under high temperature conditions, such as oil, coal-to-methanol, and coal-to-dimethyl ether. So there is no shortage of chemical resources."
"In addition, a type of insect that specializes in eating coal can also convert it into methane, ethane and other gas. The current industrial chain is mature, and the scale and cost can be well controlled."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The wood resources are about 60 million cubic meters, which can be used to make chopsticks, paper, furniture, etc. If properly managed, it can be used for about 60 years."
"The reserves of various metal minerals are 37.79 million tons of steel, 2.82 million tons of copper, 3.21 million tons of aluminum, and tin... As long as there is enough energy, these metal materials can be recycled. Before the population expands on a large scale, in theory, there is no need for large-scale mining."
These are all necessities of life.
Many of them were imported from the Underground Alliance.
Lu Yuan and Lao Mao looked at each other. The full treasury was indeed a reassuring thing.
Guo Weiqiang added: "Unfortunately, the radioactive minerals we have found are too few. The radioactive materials we have currently are mostly uranium-238."
"This material cannot be used to make atomic bombs, it can only be used in nuclear power plants."
"But then again, the current nuclear power plants have already transitioned to more advanced and safer thorium molten salt reactors. Thorium resources are relatively abundant in Pangaea, so the nuclear power plants don't actually need too much uranium-238... The energy issue is fully guaranteed."
He paused for a moment and then talked about extraordinary resources: "The following is a detailed list of extraordinary materials in the national treasury..."
A table appeared on the screen, with as many as five or six hundred entries of various resources.
In fact, over the past 52 years, the amount of various supernatural minerals and metals in the national treasury has not increased, but has decreased a lot!
These materials have basically been transformed into equipment and various machines.
Things like source fire puppets, urban expansion, industrial production, and some private entrepreneurial development all require the consumption of idealistic materials.
Guo Weiqiang finally concluded: "Excluding the legendary strategic materials, the total amount of ordinary materials is about 400 spiritual charms, which can only last less than 30 years."
"Low-level materials are already in short supply, especially after we delegated innovation to the people, the demand for low-level materials in the field of carving is too great."
"The amount of consumables is about 5321 Lingyun. If the current population growth rate is maintained, the fiscal deficit can be maintained for 300-500 years."
This is also one of the reasons why humans are determined to leave.
After so many years, even the large quantities of "fire-attribute materials" that were once excavated near the volcano have been almost consumed.
Although the output of underground fissures is large, most of them are consumables.
Consumables and extraordinary materials are two different concepts.
Staying in one place, the minerals that can be found are obviously getting fewer and fewer. In the past year, not even a single mineral with spiritual charm has been dug up.
"Where are the civilization points?" asked the old cat.
"According to last week's statistics, the number of civilization points we currently have is... 3533.93."
"After 52 years, we have regressed 49 points."
“The average annual increase is 0.88 points.”
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. These points were mainly consumed in the expansion of the small cave. This project alone cost 80 points!
The "Harvest Blessing" of some rare plants also consumes a small amount of points. Plants like the Tree of Life, the Poppy Tree, and the Pomegranate Tree all accept the "Harvest Blessing" to provide more output.
There is no other way. Without this part of resource output, Green City's fiscal deficit will increase significantly! And if civilization wants to develop, it must make long-term investments. It is impossible to be like a miser who only makes money without spending money.
Therefore, the "points" of most civilizations only increase slightly, or not at all, and they use up as many as they create each year.
"It's easier to spend money than to make money..." Lu Yuan sighed.
