Chapter 463: Level 3 Civilization!
In fact, many scientists collectively submitted a report, proposing a crazy and bold plan: they want to once again invest a lot of civilization points to expand the small cave to 1,000 square kilometers, which is 20 times the current size! In this way, the output of the Zerg Army can be greatly increased, and the problem of Lingyun can be solved once and for all!
As long as the spiritual charm is sufficient, ordinary materials can even be transformed into extraordinary metals! For example, black iron is actually the idealization of iron element. As long as there is spiritual charm, large quantities of black iron can be transformed.
Well, Lu Yuan rejected this crazy plan without even thinking about it!
What a joke on Pangu Continent! On the one hand, with 1,000 square kilometers, wouldn't the Zerg population be 2 million or even 5 million? The disorderly expansion of the Zerg population will inevitably lead to a lot of internal conflicts. After all, there are no queens in the Zerg here, and it all depends on the diligent management and diligent restraint of the higher Zerg.
The number of higher-level Zerg, that is, those with a little intelligence, is limited, and the rest are just idiots! The current 2,500 higher-level Zerg, matched with 100,000 lower-level Zerg, is just a reasonable number, and there will be no civil strife.
On the other hand, as the "Upper Universe" of the ancient great demon, Xiaodongtian's expansion ability is not as good as that of the "Middle Universe" and "Lower Universe".
After all, the "Upper Universe" is located in the brain and cannot be compared with the heart or bladder!
Therefore, if you want to expand to 1,000 square kilometers, you need to fill in more civilization points.
It might take fifteen hundred or even two thousand civilization points!
This is not a good deal.
But one advantage of "Shang Qiankun" is that the quality of the mushrooms produced will be higher.
The Zerg Army can produce 200 spiritual charms of consumables, 30-50 spiritual charms of silk, blood, and insect shell materials in a year, which is already a relatively good number.
In short, no matter from which angle, Lu Yuan opposes the practice of humans investing a large amount of civilization points to obtain a large amount of spiritual energy.
So he directly explained the pros and cons in this meeting: "Don't push your luck. These Zerg are bodyguards given to Conch by her mother! They are not servants of humans!"
"Do you really think they are like livestock, eating grass and producing milk? The relationship between the two sides is equal cooperation, not superior-subordinate! Before humans can provide them with more resources, they have done their best by providing these outputs! Where can other civilizations have such a partner?"
"Either you go and cultivate the Rift Zerg yourself!"
"Whether you use them as livestock or for experiments, I won't interfere!"
All these scientists were embarrassed and a little awkward.
They have also cultivated the Rift Zerg, but their personalities are like those of a raging wild horse. At the very least, they would engage in corruption and stealing, and at worst, they would attack humans.
In comparison, the Green Zerg are as gentle as kindergarten children...
Finally, Mr. Old Cat made a summary: "Well, now that logistics are no longer a problem, please conduct the final safety check. We will be setting off soon."
…
Just like that, time quickly came to the 75611th day of the era. Lu Yuan gave a speech and issued the order to set off.
"Friends, comrades, today we are heading for a distant place again. Once upon a time, returning to my hometown was just a small dream of mine, but now it has become everyone's dream."
"We, the 18th-century human civilization, are actually a very lucky civilization. Our ancestors left us a lot, our friends helped us a lot, and we have also successfully achieved a lot ourselves."
"Here, we even found partners with whom we could live in harmony. We have spent more than fifty years in peace and ease, allowing us to barely reach the standard of a third-level civilization."
"But even so, the future of long-term survival in this difficult world is still uncertain. Don't think that the gentleness in front of you can last forever. Level 3 civilization is just a low-level civilization, and it is still a long way from a medium-level civilization."
“If we leave this stable environment, no one knows what will happen in the future.”
This speech was played on every big screen in the square, supermarket, bar, and classroom.
Whether adults or students, every pair of eyes is staring.
Lu Yuan suddenly relaxed: "But we still have to go, don't we? Making up our mind may be more difficult than walking out!"
"The Ninth Era, Day 75611. We will set sail again and find a completely new direction."
“May the world last forever and civilization be immortal.”
His speech was very brief, and after a few minutes he bowed slightly to the camera and walked off the stage.
"Going to a distant place" may be a natural thing. It has been permeated into compulsory education and there is nothing much to say.
People are silent, feeling a little sad, a little excited, expectant, nervous, curious... perhaps all kinds of hard work.
The bugler's voice rang out from the loudspeaker: "Two hours before departure, countdown and preparation. All personnel from various units, please conduct the final safety check. We will lift off at 11 noon."
"Please all city citizens, do not go to the edge of the sky city."
"The landscape exhibition area is located in areas A-3, A-4, B-3, and B-4. Please queue up in an orderly manner."
"Repeat that..."
The sound of footsteps was heard, and a large group of students excitedly ran to the exhibition area to watch the process of the city taking off. All kinds of drinks and melon seeds were dumped in an instant!
Professor Sha Mo, who was inspecting the energy system, even had the leisure to sit in a chair and drink a cup of coffee.
“Times have really changed.”
He recalled the first time the city in the sky rose - a large number of villagers, afraid of heights, howled like pigs being slaughtered.
The flying of the city is like a kite, going east and west, and it may fall to the ground at any time!
"What happened next?" Young people are very interested in gossip about the past.
"At that time, many people hesitated and retreated, wanting to stay in the desert forever. But Commander Lu knocked down all the howling villagers with one punch, and then scolded them."
"We are just a weakling civilization. Is there any reason for us to retreat?"
Everybody burst into laughter.
"That's exactly like his style!"
As for now, the anti-gravity control system of "Pandora" has long been mature, and even multiple safety protection systems have been installed. What's more, there are insects such as "flying snakes" and "flying dragons", as well as a large number of man-made aircraft, so there is no need to worry about safety issues at all.
Coincidentally, Professor Lu Tiantian was also inspecting a backup energy system - the poppy tree system. Okay, this is the oldest energy supply, but it is indeed the last line of defense.
As a second-generation child, he did not experience the interesting stories that happened to the first generation, but the second generation actually has many stories passed down.
"At that time, I had just graduated and was full of ambition to enter the society, when I heard shocking news."
"What news?"
"Commander Lu pulled a group of us into the conference room and held a small meeting. He said in a heavy tone, 'We are still a rookie civilization. Any monster can kill us. Everything depends on you young people.'"
"The first small goal, don't have power outages every now and then. I beg you, the energy from the poppy tree is running low, keep an eye on your generators!"
Lu Tiantian imitated Lu Yuan's tone: "I was still young at that time and under a lot of pressure. I said in doubt, ah, can I rely on you? I study biology!"
"Commander Lu's eyes flickered: What else? If not relying on you young people, do I have to rely on my human flesh to generate electricity?"
People laughed again.
At that time, we were not even a Level 2 civilization! It was really difficult!
But now, humans can perhaps confidently declare that we are a genuine third-level civilization! We have also gained a firm foothold in Pangu Continent!
Just like that, amidst the laughter and joy, a soft "boom" sound was heard.
The sky city, which had been in the air for a long time, finally rose again! The chirping of insects could be heard in the silent forest, and the huge black crack disappeared into the rift valley. Near the coastline, the old story was about to come to an end.
A new story begins again! The entire city is like a stone platform that rises steadily upwards, rising higher and higher. In a blink of an eye, it exceeds 20,000 meters and is still climbing.
All the young people were seeing this kind of scene for the first time and were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
They stared blankly at the emerald green forest, the rippling blue ocean, the 100,000-meter-high mountains, and the underground fissures that were like the abyss... Everything was so familiar.
On the ground, members of the Underground Alliance were bidding farewell.
"Hello!"
"See you again in ten thousand years! Hahaha!" The Minotaur's roar faintly penetrated the clouds.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There were also many more sentimental humans who couldn't help but cry while observing the scenery. After all, humans are nostalgic creatures. After staying here for so long, they felt like they were at home.
This separation may never come back.
"The Drifting Rune of the Sky City is activated!"
"Concealing Glyph activated!"
A thin layer of cloud appeared on the surface of the outer wall, enveloping the city.
This makes the entire city look like a large ball of cotton-like white clouds, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Then, leave here...
Destination... the direction of human civilization! 10 kilometers...
20 km...
30 km...
As dusk fell, the white cloud slowly disappeared at the end of the sky.
…
The day passed quickly. I worked when I should work and rested when I should rest. Life was no different from before.
Different from the farewell feelings of the young people, as the city took off and gradually entered a stable operation state, Lu Yuan was excited and full of expectations for the future.
His home is here and his family is here.
What's wrong with starting a new journey? What's more, he still has the poppy tree branches left, so he can call his friends occasionally.
There is even a [Temple] left here. As long as the Fairy Palace is repaired, it can be teleported back at any time! Just as I was lost in thought, the Minotaur tribe called me in my dream.
"Hahaha, I, Lao Niu, just want to confirm whether this thing can be used?"
"As expected, I see you, my good brother! It feels like I haven't seen you for a day." In the dream, the cow grinned.
Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched. "Brother, it costs money to make a phone call... Of course, the distance is so short, it won't cost too much."
"Brother Niu, I have something for you. I almost forgot to tell you!"
"What?"
"The aphrodisiac wine made from scarlet mushrooms is buried in a forest. I'll tell you the exact location... Go get it and replenish yourself."
"It turns out to be my good brother!"
After Lu Yuan told the location, he hung up the phone with a grin.
He had carefully brewed that pot of wine, but he forgot to take it, so now Niu Niu has to take it away.
"Forget it, it's not worth much."
After coming out of the dream, I found someone knocking on the door.
“Boom boom boom.”
"Come in!"
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"
This group of people is a new generation of outstanding people represented by Hai Zhiyun.
The oldest ones have already started working, while some have just graduated. There are more than fifty people in total.
The "Mind Uploader" Hai Zhiyun is the youngest, only 23 years old, but his ambition is not reflected in his age. Instead, his status and talent are the most outstanding.
Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said what he had been thinking for a long time: "Hello, students. You are the most outstanding talents in the past fifty years. According to past practice, I need to consult you about the future direction."
"You must know that the future is not in my hands, but in yours. This is how every generation of ours has come through."
"But we have to admit that we are still a weak civilization... There are many..."
As a result, as soon as he uttered the four words "rookie civilization", all the students, both boys and girls, burst out laughing.
It was a long time before Lu Yuan came to his senses. The ancestral conversation method he had used for several generations had been exposed.
He was furious. What was going on? Who was the insider who dared to reveal the secrets of the civilization? ! They couldn't even beat a [ghost]. They were just a weak civilization! ...
Lu Yuan is still very close to young people, but the close distance often leads to a lack of prestige.
It’s not a big deal. Anyway, he is not the leader of these young people. He is just the leader of the leader of the leader and has no control over them in the workplace.
Moreover, Lu Yuan quite likes this kind of relationship. It is easier to get along with them. He is not a very serious person and it would be too tiring to have a stern face all day long.
At the current stage of human civilization development, various industries are developing rapidly, and it is difficult for Lu Yuan to control various details.
So he could only ask these smartest people to figure out the way forward.
"What do you think a more powerful Level 4 civilization should be like? In which direction should it develop?"
"What are our current shortcomings?" Lu Yuan asked the core topic of this conversation.
