Chapter 557 The confrontation begins at this moment!
Lu Yuan left the meeting room with bold steps and in a happy mood.
We turned the corner and walked into a large botanical garden several hundred meters away.
This greenhouse is equipped with floor heating, solar lamps and humidifiers, and grows a large number of fruits and vegetables.
And the latest addition - the Spirit Plant Field! This field is emitted by a strange cabinet-like device with a coverage radius of 320 meters, which is not too large, but it is enough for a greenhouse.
The "Spiritual Plant Field" is only effective for plants, but not for animals or mushrooms. Plants in the field will have a faint green fluorescence on the surface of their leaves. Theoretically, the growth rate of plants can be increased by 100%-300%!
The consumption of the "Spirit Plant Field" is also quite low. Theoretically, the extraordinary fire energy produced by a level 4 warrior in a day can just sustain his daily consumption.
"Lu Ling, are the test results out?" Lu Yuan found the person in charge of the plantation.
"Commander-in-chief, the efficiency of each craftsman's forging field is still slightly different." Professor Lu Ling, who has plant affinity, took out a stack of data. "This is our test record."
All the staff members were very happy. The third-level technology [Harvest Blessing] was indeed very powerful, but it consumed luck and could only be used on those noble plants.
But this "spiritual plant field" is a lower-level substitute with low cost, and can be popularized to all plants... any mutant plants, low-level extraordinary plants, and any grafted plants, all can be used! Anyway, there are thousands of masters in the army, all of whom can charge the "spiritual plant field"!
"In addition, each plant has different sensitivity to the field. We found that adding certain inorganic salts, nutrients, and plant hormones can further stimulate plant growth."
Lu Yuan laughed: "Research in this area depends on you."
"We have taken the most difficult first step. Guys, how does it feel to be on this new road?"
The hundreds of craftsmen were all in rags, but their faces were rosy. Compared with the great progress in their careers, the emotions deep in their hearts were as turbulent as the waves! What achievement could be compared to opening up a new path and becoming the founder of a school? Well, actually, they were not the founders. Now they were the eldest disciples of the "Greedy Demon God" and the first generation to establish a school! Their faces were rosy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, duck blood, or even the blood of mutant monsters! They only wanted to study, and everything else was thrown aside!
What's more, they didn't take the powerful enemy, the dwarves, seriously.
Even the common dream of all craftsmen, forging legendary equipment, has gradually lost its appeal.
"Commander-in-chief, I have a new idea... Is it feasible to use one's own field to interfere with idealistic rules..." A young craftsman suddenly had an idea.
"You mean, transform yourself into a tool? Specifically used to create a field?"
"Yes, I am the best tool myself! Isn't that right?"
Lu Yuan was shocked by this idea and stroked his chin: "It makes sense... But without the anti-entropy element, there is still a lack of a catalyst."
"The working principle of spiritual plant field" Another craftsman handed over a paper, which described in detail how idealistic rules react with plants.
Even the ratmen craftsmen were fascinated by the opening of this new road, and they were all delighted.
This kind of academic atmosphere is really enjoyable. Lu Yuan couldn't help but cough and said loudly: "Okay, comrades! Let's talk about academic matters later. Now we have to take a vacation! We have been in seclusion for a long time. We can no longer pass by our home three times without going back."
"Everyone please go home and take a shower, dismissed!"
There was a roar of laughter from the plantation.
…
When Lu Yuan returned to his home, the old wolf wagged its tail and pounced on him to show affection.
The cleaning robot at home kept every room spotless. When it saw Lu Yuan, its indicator light lit up and said, "Green Elf is at your service."
"Buy me a bowl of beef ramen."
The "Green Elf" robot is a machine with a mechanical arm and an appearance similar to a large barrel. It went out to buy beef ramen.
The quality of life in this era is indeed getting higher and higher. Unconsciously, even in the field of materialistic technology, Green City has far surpassed the human mother civilization...
It has been nearly three hundred years since Lu Yuan left his hometown. It was quite sad to think of it suddenly at this moment.
Time always changes everything cruelly. He thinks less and less about his hometown. When he calls back or faces his relatives, he doesn't know what to say - this is how human beings are. When life becomes parallel lines, social circles will slowly separate and the relationships between people will become strangers.
Perhaps, the current decision to "return to the mother civilization" is just chasing after one's own childhood; or perhaps, it is just finding a fairly logical goal for Green City.
Lu Yuan shook his head, took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes.
Had the beef ramen.
Then he sat in the study, turned on the computer, and read the latest government documents.
The first major event is that the hibernation awakening of all mankind has been officially completed.
Most citizens have moved back to the city to enjoy the blue sky, white clouds and sunshine.
This work is in line with expectations.
Although the weather in the north is a little cold, considering the current comprehensive quality of human beings, the current temperature is within an acceptable range.
The second big event, the visit of the dwarves, has been on the front page of the Green Daily for half a month in a row!
There are hundreds of news articles, with in-depth analysis of new and interesting events such as "fire beast" and "dwarf armor".
Some netizens also commented online: "So that's how it is... This race is really aggressive."
"The other party wants to damage our reputation, but don't we want to use the authority of the dwarves to completely open up the development opportunities of the trading market?"
"I heard that most civilizations are still on the sidelines. They just want to see us decide the winner."
"This is our territory after all. Using static to control dynamic is a good choice."
I have to admit that netizens are still very rational.
Lu Yuan stretched and looked at the black thing by the window again.
It was the little mirage dragon that was secretly looking at him with one eye.
This guy is getting bigger and bigger and can no longer enter the office.
"What are you doing? You look so shifty."
The little mirage dragon blew a breath of cool air, lowering the room temperature by several degrees. It even wailed and shed bitter tears. I was so miserable when you were away! Lu Yuan then saw many children happily climbing on its body. Originally, Lu Yuan had been responsible for the training of the next generation in the school, but now he had skipped a year of work and had to be replaced by this big golden dragon! It seems that this civilization mascot has been treated the same as the immortal giant turtle.
He laughed, walked out of the room and started playing with the other children.
…
…
It was not until the evening, when the sun was setting, that Lu Yuan, who had been checking official documents all day, took Lao Lang to pick up the maid who had just got off work and took her home.
The dishes at the candlelight party were prepared by Lu Yuan himself. There were three dishes and one soup. It was not luxurious, but quite exquisite.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. Miss Conch's face is as pretty as ever, with a faint blush, like the sunset in the sky.
"You're so romantic today? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Lu Yuan originally wanted to brag, saying that he is the founder of a certain sect, so you should show him some respect.
But the other party didn't want to play the joke, so he could only change the story and make a side comment: "The dwarves have arrived."
The conch girl seemed to see what he was thinking and smiled narrowly, "Didn't you come a long time ago?"
"I was thinking, what if I lose the bet? Humanity is doomed!" Lu Yuan straightened his back.
The conch frowned slightly. "We lost because humans are not strong enough. I think there are some things that you don't need to do yourself. It's not good to do everything yourself. So, no matter what good things you invent, it has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yuan pretended to be worried: "I think so too. The premise is that the other party's old aliens don't take action, otherwise they are bullying the younger generation."
"Those old guys have a gear heritage. I saw a lot of traces of gear civilization in the photos... Well, we also have a gear heritage."
"Go on, I'm listening...what do you want?" Conch looked at him with a smile.
"I need to...regain my energy." Lu Yuan said solemnly.
"Then go to bed after dinner. I just happen to have an experimental project and have to work overtime! Unlike someone who wants to bully girls every day and has a dirty mind..."
"How can I conserve my energy without a maid?" Lu Yuan realized that his plan had failed, and said fiercely, "Old Wolf, I'll give you all these dishes to eat, and then wash the dishes."
"Ouch?"
With a "bang", Lu Yuan picked up the girl and closed the door.
The old wolf blinked his one eye and smelled a scent of hormones.
That unruly face suddenly revealed an evil expression.
It let out a "howl" and several female wolves rushed in and divided up the dishes.
Then he pressed the button of the home robot, asked the robot to wash the dishes, and started a carefree nightlife with the female wolves.
A great war is about to begin! …
…
The weather in the north always changes suddenly.
The weather was sunny and clear with blue sky one second ago; the next second, dark clouds came from nowhere, cold snowflakes fell from the sky and turned into rain on people's faces.
However, for many indigenous civilizations, the mood is fiery.
Because the two giants finally started serious contact.
The gambling fight is about to begin.
"Extra, Extra. The dwarves have submitted a written notice to formally establish diplomatic relations with the 18th human civilization... and have also presented a number of exquisite gifts."
"You're here to challenge me, but you have to make it so formal..."
In this tavern, people of many races were discussing this matter.
The atmosphere was fanatical, with all kinds of random rumors running rampant.
Gossip can be said to be a common hobby of intelligent life.
What's more, this incident can be fully recorded in the history of the North!
The bat man shook his head and said, "You don't understand. It's very difficult to crush such a big clan in one go. We always have to leave some room for everything. Whether we win or lose, we have to save face. Face is the substance. If we really tear our faces apart, it will be bad for everyone."
"What form will the gambling fight take?"
"I don't know about that... Anyway, we will definitely enjoy the show."
"Why don't you open the betting market?!" The one-eyed chief drank a glass of beer and shouted, "Wulancheng, open the betting market. I want to bet money!"
A group of gamblers started shouting.
The mayor of Wulan City, Tagang, had a bitter face. What kind of odds should he open? There was nothing wrong with opening odds for some small matters.
What if Green City loses in such a big event and takes their anger out on us? Fortunately, the real competition is finally about to begin, and he can finally put his hanging heart aside - anyway, winning or losing is not something he can decide, so he can only wait and see.
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Until nine o'clock in the morning, one small floating spacecraft after another flew out smoothly from the floating fortress.
This type of suspended spacecraft is about 60 meters long, 15 meters high and wide, and each spacecraft carries 500 soldiers wearing power armor! On the floating spacecraft in front, there are the majestic Flame Beast, the Dwarf Council Chairman who is deploying the mission, Storm Wine, and a large group of aliens.
"This day has finally arrived. Under the watchful eyes of the public, we must achieve a beautiful victory! Everyone, do you have confidence?"
"have!"
This gambling fight is almost an all-round contest of comprehensive strength.
Before the two sides had formal contact, they actually had no idea.
The distance of 50 kilometers can be reached in less than half an hour.
At an altitude of 20,000 meters, the dwarves saw a not-too-big city, covering an area of about 200 square kilometers.
Its structure is quite delicate, in the shape of a pyramid, and is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower.
The carvings on the wall shone with an ancient halo, and the emerald green exotic plants left a deep impression on them - Green City, it was really as its name suggested, it was full of plants! You have to know that in an icy environment, it takes a huge amount of energy to build a greenhouse.
Energy is a precious and scarce commodity in the North.
The dense vegetation alone is proof of the richness and power of Green City.
"They should have invented controlled nuclear fusion technology... to provide such a large greenhouse." A technocrat sighed softly, "Solar energy alone is not enough."
"Eternal energy?" An old alien recalled the term from his mind.
"Yes, only a scientific and technological civilization that follows a purely materialistic path can develop this great technology."
"Can we buy an eternal energy device?"
"Uh...it depends on whether they are willing to sell it."
"If it's just for maintenance, I think our population is enough, but it's almost impossible to copy one... Even if we know the principle, it's still difficult." The technocrat shook his head.
As a major tribe in the North, the dwarves have a population of nearly 30 million and can gather enough physical talents.
However, if you want to replicate a "nuclear fusion device", you need a sufficiently strong industrial chain.
It is almost unrealistic to establish a materialistic industrial chain from scratch.
The place where they docked was not Green City, but a square near the trading market.
The trading market covers an area of about 60 square kilometers, which can be regarded as a nice small city, with tall buildings standing side by side. On the top of the tall buildings are silver-white solar panels. There are at least 300,000 creatures from various races gathered in the trading market.
"In just three years, the scale has already surpassed our market..." Parliament Speaker Storm Wine felt sour in his heart.
This phenomenon occurs not only because the conditions offered by Green City are good, but also because the city's public security is good.
There is another important reason: cheap industrial products bring a good life! Who can refuse to live in a spacious and warm house? Even the notorious goblins live here peacefully, like good citizens who abide by the rules.
There is no way around it. Once you commit a crime, you will be expelled permanently! You can never come back.
"The reason humans do this is to sell their city in the sky."
"Let each race get used to living in this kind of comfortable house first, then they will be willing to spend 'civilization points' to buy their own city."
"Humph, they have a good idea."
I couldn't help feeling a little sour.
But the dwarf civilization cannot follow suit, as they tend to be idealistic and do not have the productivity!
At the easternmost airport, indicator lights were flashing, and the air command was signaling them to keep the spacecraft at the eastern airport.
There are also a large number of drones giving various instructions in the surrounding area.
"Let's dock." said the Speaker of the Parliament.
On the railway tracks connecting to Ulan City, trains come and go, transporting large numbers of people of different races - there is even a special carriage for carrying the tall one-eyed people.
"Wow!" the rude guy yelled.
All races are extremely excited and look forward to the stories that will happen on this day.
Just like that, as the spaceship landed, the Speaker of the Parliament gently shook off the dust on his clothes and walked out of the door with a nervous heart.
What came into view was a large group of intelligent beings wearing black power armor, including Blue Peng people and rat people.
Human civilization 18 is a multi-racial civilization, which they have already discovered long ago.
What's more, there is a Green Queen who is the nominal ruler of the city. She is also an alien left over from ancient times - a member of the intelligence department of the dwarf civilization. After collecting data for so many years, she still knows this information.
The existence of the Green Queen also explains why human 18 civilizations are so powerful.
The civilization that benefited from the previous dynasty was not limited to the dwarves.
"We must try our best to defeat humans! We must be careful!" The Speaker of the Parliament, Storm Wine, said in his heart.
Under his feet was a red carpet embroidered with unknown flowers - perhaps it was a unique etiquette of human beings. This elegant red carpet showed the wealth and power of human beings.
The surrounding band was playing cheerful music. The sound of drums and orchestra gave people a wonderful sense of security. It was obvious that this was the effect of some extraordinary item.
If they hadn't known that a gambling fight was about to take place, everyone would have thought that they were allies.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the 18th human civilization, Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan opened the glass protective cover of the power armor. "On behalf of the respected Queen of Green and all citizens of the 18th human civilization, I welcome all friends who have come from afar."
This voice was transmitted far away through the translator and heard by many races.
The confrontation has begun at this moment!
Translation ability, as a divine skill, is not uncommon in Pangu Continent.
But simultaneous interpretation is still a bit difficult.
There are three popular ways of communication now. The first is to learn Chinese directly. Most of the people who come to the trading market are strong people above level 4, with high divine attributes, and learning a language does not take too much time.
The second is the translation ability of those with high “divine attributes”.
The higher the divine attribute, the better the communication effect in the microphone.
The third is machine translation.
Lu Yuan once found a metal ball in the ruins of the Meda civilization, and the translation system inside was intact. After a period of deciphering, information experts have found the general principle and have also created several similar translation machines.
These are the translation machines that humans use now, but their current manufacturing costs are relatively high, making them difficult to popularize.
A voice that could also be understood came from the dwarves' armor: "Hello, human friends!"
"We have heard of your power and wealth, so we have come here from afar... to seek opportunities for common development."
The Speaker of the Parliament spoke eloquently: "We are a civilization that values peace and development."
"The territory of the North is large enough to accommodate all civilizations to coexist harmoniously. We have inherited the gear civilization, and our innate racial values are inclined towards forging, and we have made some small achievements in this field.
"Currently, my civilization has 395 talented craftsmen and 109 glyph readers."
"Of course, the progress we have made is still insignificant compared to the disaster of the era. Therefore, cooperation is still the theme of the development of the times..."
Lu Yuan sighed softly. Up to now in the development of mankind, the total number of talented craftsmen and carving readers was only a little over three hundred.
You should know that the number of divine skills is directly proportional to the fortune of civilization, but has little to do with the population size.
As long as civilization does not develop, even a population of 100 million will not give birth to a divine skill!
The dwarves actually have 500 craftsmen! This can only be attributed to the superiority of their race.
Stormy was drinking wine, and he was talking more and more excitedly. Perhaps he had been holding back these words for too long: "May our friendship last forever, and we..."
An old man with a red beard behind him couldn't wait any longer and waved his hand in a muffled voice: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. It's been a month and you're still writing long articles here."
He said loudly to Lu Yuan: "Human, since this is the first time we meet, in order to reduce strategic misjudgment, let's make contact according to the standard method of Pangu Continent!"
"The first match is a cold weapon battle. How about that? Soldiers from both sides can wear any equipment, but cannot use long-range weapons."
The humans took a deep breath. What was supposed to come had to come.
