Chapter 587 One Hundred Years Later
A vibrant scene appeared in various areas of the northern border.
"Haha, look what I got... a Crystal Energy TV! From today on, follow the teacher inside to learn knowledge!"
"You are all geniuses of my race. Even if you start from scratch, you will definitely catch up with other races."
The young people below, with their bright eyes, stared at the TV screen curiously, and vowed in their hearts: "Try to get into college within three years!"
"Study for the rise of my civilization!!"
In the small cave, the sound of reading aloud could be heard.
…
On another snowy mountain, several leopard-like creatures were running.
They ran out of breath into a cave, waving their hands and shouting, "Breaking news, breaking news! The Mithril Mine is recruiting!"
"Food and accommodation are provided, and there is also salary to be received. It is led by the Green Mining Group, so there is no need to worry about wage arrears."
"What...what mining industry?"
"The Green Mining Group is buying up mines everywhere. It is more powerful than our entire race... They have set their sights on our mountain, which the nobles have already sold!"
The leopards were filled with sorrow. Were they going to be driven out? It was freezing cold, where could they find a place to live?
"No, no, no, humans are planning to recruit people."
"Two robot teachers are given away for free, and the children of workers can learn for free! No race is considered, but laws and regulations must be followed."
A group of hungry people with pale faces and skinny bodies all raised their heads with incredible expressions on their faces.
They are just a group of homeless people...
Not every race lives in harmony, and oppression and exploitation of the same kind are common.
They were driven out of their tribe during an internal struggle and ended up here.
Their lives are cheaper than grass.
Now, the opening of this large mine has given them a chance to survive.
…
A prosperous city in the south.
The emergence of spiritual plant fields feeds millions of people.
“Large-scale wind turbines and energy storage equipment can be built in the west of our city.”
"After spending a lot of money, the steel plant finally has enough electricity."
“Congratulations!”
Near a gorgeous round table, several nobles were racking their brains.
These intelligent beings wearing headscarves have smiles on their faces.
“What should we invest in next?”
"Planting, animal husbandry... they must be cost-effective. We are not a wealthy family, so we have to spend frugally."
They haven't been so hard-working for a long time.
Some people rack their brains, but are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
…
In a remote corner of the northwest, a war between two civilizations has been going on for fifty years over a coal mine.
However, in recent times, the war has gradually become quiet.
"My king, let's call for a truce!"
"Even if we take over this land, it will only be a small profit. Coal is a necessary mineral resource, but now... solar and wind power are the world's power!"
The military advisor's voice was a little sharp.
Someone soon retorted: "Didn't we buy rune rifles and cannons at the market? How can we stop fighting in the middle of it?"
The military advisor said, "We did spend a huge amount of money to purchase weapons, but the other side also has weapons... The arms race is simply endless. Moreover, our level six masters have also suffered casualties."
The leader of the race stroked the hairy head.
The situation always changes faster than we imagine.
The powerful human civilization did not intervene in their war.
But the emergence of new energy has defeated the old energy.
Coal, which was once a delicious commodity, now seems to have become useless... Well, it's not really useless, as coal can be used in coal chemical industry. But if it is burned directly, it is not as good as solar energy.
Just as I was thinking about this, a shout came from outside the military camp: "Report... Report... The enemy invites us to negotiate!"
"Alas, it seems they also want a truce." The leader exhaled, "Let's go and see what ivory can spit out of their dog's mouth!"
…
This is a...
Absurd yet hopeful times.
Every race in the North is undergoing subtle changes.
The outline of the mountain intercepted the starlight from the sky, the raging hail kissed the cold lake, the cotton-padded jacket I wore yesterday concealed the cold weather of the extreme north, outside the tavern there was a snowstorm caused by a cold wave, and the wild cats in the spiritual plant field stretched their bodies like ferns.
The pulse of civilization is connected to the breath of the universe.
The time train seemed to accelerate at this moment.
Whether it is humans, the major civilizations in the North, Lu Yuan, the old cat, or even the immortal giant turtle, they are all enjoying this wonderful time of rapid development.
…
In the 302nd year of the Era, strange rumors appeared in the northern region.
"I saw a really big turtle... It was made of crystals and glowed brightly. It was almost as big as a mountain! I thought it was a giant block of ice!"
"I took a closer look. Wow... it's a Level 16 anomaly, lazily basking in the sun."
"That guy's body is covered with alien crystals. If we could capture him, it would be a fortune. Unfortunately, I fainted after it glared at me."
This green-skinned goblin was dancing in a tavern and saying, "Guess what I saw when I was about to pass out?"
"What did you see?!" The guests in the tavern were all angered by his behavior of leaving things unsaid.
The green-skinned goblin tilted his neck and hummed something.
It was not until the owner of the tavern gave him a glass of beer that the guy told the truth: "A temple! A temple hidden on the back of a turtle! It must be the remains of a very advanced civilization, built on a level 16 vision."
Everyone was amazed and asked about the exact location.
The goblin shook his head: "Alas, I don't know where the crystal turtle has gone. What a pity..."
Everyone just treated it as an anecdote.
After all, goblins are a species that tell a lot of lies.
However, the news spread quietly.
What's more, people often claim that they have seen a giant crystal turtle and the ancient temple on its back.
So, this slowly evolved into an unsolved mystery of the North.
…
In the 311th year of the Era, the fame of the 18 human civilizations finally spread throughout the entire northern border.
Even the most isolated races have realized the prosperity and strength of the football trading market.
Establishing order is indeed not something that can be done overnight.
While humans are enjoying the benefits of trade, they are also slowly promoting the development of the North.
Industrial standards, education systems, and talent systems can not only radiate their own influence, but also feed back into their own development.
…
In the 318th year of the Era, the "Reproduction Field" appeared in this world for the first time.
Its function is to promote the reproductive desire of extraordinary life and increase the chance of reproduction.
What's more, this venue was not developed by Lu Yuan, but was created by a human craftsman, Li Datie, in a burst of inspiration.
Although some anti-entropy elements were still used, it did prove that in addition to Lu Yuan, others could also broaden this path.
This is a great thing!
It greatly motivated the work enthusiasm of other craftsmen! …
In the 328th year of the Era, the first batch of sky cities were delivered to the target customers, a total of six!
These cities are generally not too big, only about 50 square kilometers, but they have also opened a new era in the North - giant cities that can move freely! This deal is indeed a win-win choice.
Humanity has gained precious civilization points, and customers have obtained the modern city they have longed for. 50 square kilometers, if used properly, can accommodate one to two million people!
These giant cities also come with a Level 2 civilization technology industry chain, which is more than just a cement block! After feeling the beauty of it, more races are eager to buy a sky city.
This business is really taking off.
…
In the year 339 of the era, Lu Yuan created a special field - the "Focus Field"! Being in the field can greatly improve your concentration.
Even when doing some boring work, I can concentrate so much that I almost forget the passage of time.
This is definitely the best tool for a sweatshop! Of course Lu Yuan used it on... the craftsmen.
At this moment, the number of permanent craftsmen in the Green Lawn Trading Market has reached five thousand!
What does five thousand disciples mean?
Even if it is a level five civilization, a few hundred craftsmen are the best!
This is a huge number. In the exchanges and collisions, new and creative ideas emerge every day.
Therefore, there is no need for him to supervise personally, as someone has already been bravely exploring the discipline of "field industrialization"!
"My friends, the field of focus is my gift to you. It can improve your concentration and slightly increase the speed of accumulating inspiration."
Although Lu Yuan only holds a sinecure in the "Craftsman University", he is still very well-known.
"I want to build a temple in the trading market."
“Everyone who has made a contribution and written a paper will have their name engraved in the hall.”
"If I can make an outstanding contribution, I will create a sculpture myself and place it in the temple so that we can be remembered by history together."
The emergence of "Focus Field" caused a small sensation.
This unique atmosphere is like the classical era of ancient Greece, where people can explore and research freely as they please without worrying about racial barriers and economic constraints.
The temptation of being remembered in history is in front of everyone, and it has triggered a wave of research and development! Field industrialization has already been proven to be a smooth road with many examples.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Right now, the path is at the stage where the lowest-hanging fruit is to be picked, and everyone knows that.
"Grandmaster Lu, where is your statue? Why can't I see it?" a dwarf craftsman asked loudly, "The pioneer's contribution should be the greatest, right?"
"If you don't erect a statue, we are not worthy at all?"
"Haha, my statue is here!" Lu Yuan smiled and carried out a stone tablet without any words on it.
【Unnamed Stone Monument】
[Master craftsman Lu Yuan believed that his achievements should be judged by future generations, so he set up this blank stone tablet.]
"hiss……"
Looking at the many shocked and excited craftsmen below, Lu Yuan felt a little guilty. Did his actions seem to have plagiarized a famous person from the ancient Great East Kingdom? But soon, he calmed down.
His history has not yet completely ended, and he may make more achievements in the future. Is there really no need to write a biography for himself now? ...
In the year 363 of the era, the industrialization of the field continued to flourish! At present, there have appeared the spiritual plant field and the reproduction field with lower difficulty; the medium-difficulty settlement field (to improve the quality of sleep and rest effect) and the reconnaissance field (to check for unknown extraordinary powers); the more difficult concentration field and the shelter field.
These all tend towards productivity.
Lu Yuan finally completed the replication of the divine skills of "Craftsman Talent", "Super Thinker", "Plant Affinity", and "Animal Affinity"! "It's really... difficult!"
The biggest difficulty now is to use the field to cover the [Temple] on the crystal giant turtle! There is no room for any mistakes in this matter, otherwise a [Ghost] coming from the North will be doomed.
Of course, the vigorous development of field industrialization and the emergence of various academic theories have also brought him more directions. The "unregulated field" has gone from being illusory to being traceable.
“The power of collective wisdom is indeed great.”
…
Year 401 of the Era.
Humankind’s 18th civilization has made a major breakthrough in the field of Level 4 civilization technology!
[Pangu Thinking Resonance Technology]! As an independent research project, rather than something picked up from outside, it quickly attracted the attention of the top leaders of the human government, who even held a grand hearing.
This technology was developed by a team led by Professor Lu Tiantian and is closely related to the soul, spirit, and thinking.
"...The specific function is to increase the upper limit of the divine attribute."
Theoretically, the upper limit of human's divine attributes is about 14-18 points, which is the racial upper limit.
Only by possessing extremely special divine skills, or some unique adventures, can this limit be broken.
The [Mind Resonance Technology] can connect and resonate one's own thoughts with the world will of Pangu Continent. During the whole process, the divine attributes can break through the racial limit.
"According to our speculation, this technology should be the main source of the advanced civilization's great spiritualists."
Professor Lu Tiantian explained in the conference room with a rosy face, "We have now figured out the specific mechanism."
"To put it simply, the world consciousness of Pangaea is a vast and boundless ocean."
"And each of our souls is an independent lake. What we need to do now is to dig a small canal between the ocean and the lake to connect the two and bring the water from the ocean into the small lake."
"Of course, for safety reasons, we have to monitor this 'small water channel' at all times and take protective measures to prevent some inexplicable things from polluting our spirits."
There are not many people in the entire Pangu Continent who have had adventures like Lu Yuan and Hai Luo.
More great spiritual masters have to rely on the technology of the fourth-level civilization and collective strength to build themselves into great spiritual masters.
"...There are naturally many benefits to becoming a great spiritual master."
"For example, the strength of a god's skill is closely related to the god's attributes. Whether it is the craftsman's talent, glyph reading, or other god's skills, they will all improve with the god's rise. This is the difference in quality."
"It's like an IQ of 60, which is dog intelligence; an IQ of 110, which is human intelligence; and an IQ of 140 is genius level."
“Although divine attributes are not completely equivalent to IQ, they play a vital role in many areas.”
Professor Lu Tiantian played a table on the big screen: "We investigated the personal divine attributes of more than 5,000 craftsmen."
"With 10 points of God, it is extremely difficult to create a legendary masterpiece. I am almost certain that there are only a few top geniuses in history who can create legends with 10 points of God. Even top inspiration is not enough."
Lu Yuan stared.
When he was at 10 points of God, the item he created was... Salamander Leather Armor?! "At 14-16 points of God, which means the soul is full, the probability of creating a legend is greatly increased."
"If you can reach 20 points of God, you will almost certainly become a legendary craftsman, and even be able to create an epic."
"As for the Great Spiritual Rhythm One..."
"Let me put it this way. If you want to create myths, a great spiritual being may be one of the necessary conditions! Maybe there are some geniuses who have created myths at a lower stage of divine attributes, but they are very rare cases after all. Therefore, a civilization that really wants to create myths must cultivate great spiritual beings!"
Lu Yuan touched his chin. In fact, he also realized why his "craftsman talent" was so amazing? Others also had craftsman talent, so why were they just ordinary craftsmen? On the one hand, his life experience was indeed rich enough, which was indispensable for a craftsman.
On the other hand, the god attribute is high! His current god attribute is already 35.8, not far from Miss Conch's 36.7!
Lu Tiantian sat upright and came to the conclusion: "In summary, the upper limit of the divine attribute is closely related to lifespan, personal ability, and inspiration, and is indeed the key to talent development!"
"[Mind Resonance Technology] is also our inevitable choice to pursue the elite route!"
The old cat raised his furry paws and said, "I see. This is indeed a good technology, but how much does it cost? You have to give us a budget first. We have made some money recently, but we have to spend it sparingly."
Its words caused everyone to laugh.
In recent years, Green City’s treasury has been full, giving us a full sense of security.
However, it is also a good thing to have a shrewd housekeeper. Money cannot always be easy to make. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance.
Lu Tiantian paused for a moment: "The main cost of this project is to construct a resonance formation..."
"This formation is equivalent to a canal that can guide the energy of Pangu Continent and monitor the purity of this energy."
"Our thinking actually draws on the use of 'momentum' by super ancient civilizations."
Lu Yuan's face twitched, and the formation came out.
Could it be that when idealism develops to a certain extent, it all ends up in the same place? Lu Tiantian displayed a complex image on the screen: "There are five categories of resonance formations in total."
"The east represents wood; the south represents fire; the west represents metal; the north represents water; and the center represents earth."
"These five resonance formations require different materials to construct."
The old cat's eyes widened. "What about the expenses? There are five of these spectacles at once, don't ask for too much!"
Other government officials also frowned slightly.
"Ahem..." Lu Tiantian coughed, "We are now in the northern border, and there are plenty of ice-attribute materials. It is enough to build a northern formation."
"But once you leave the northern border, the effect of the Northern Formation will become less effective."
"The second is to build a central formation, which can be effective everywhere, but it is rather mediocre."
"Just tell me how much it will cost?" Old Cat, the accountant, was a little frightened, fearing that the other party would ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
"The central resonance formation requires at least 125 luck and around 4,000 spiritual charm. Budget overruns cannot be ruled out." Lu Tiantian was a little nervous about requiring so much funding.
The old cat is in pain. Do you know how big this number is?
"Ahem... Mainly because we are still in the research stage, we cannot guarantee that communication will be successful in one go."
Everyone started discussing fiercely: "There is a huge shortage of earth-attribute materials at the moment, and there aren't many of them. If we buy them in large quantities, the price will easily soar."
"The northern formation requires a large amount of water-attribute materials, which are relatively cheap. The price may be only one-third of the central resonance formation."
"We will build a northern formation for temporary use, and then find a way to build a central formation?"
…
This expensive project was finally approved.
Lu Yuan finally understood why level 4 civilization was so rare.
"If it weren't for the massive amount of points brought by the 'Civilization Milestones', it would be difficult for a normal civilization to accumulate this much luck."
Another question was also answered - why the noble Great Spiritual Master also stayed in Pangu Continent.
It is closely connected with Pangu Continent. If you run away, Pangu Continent might curse you to death!
But there is no other way, this technology must be used!
When you earn money, isn't it meant to be spent?
Even if humans want to escape, that will be at the end of the era. It is impossible to give up now.

(I’m stuck. I only wrote this much in one day. I feel like I’m drowning.) (This book has two million words, which is close to the physiological limit of a donkey. In addition, the monthly ticket performance is getting worse and worse, and I don’t have enough motivation to write.) (Fortunately, the plot is still under control and will not collapse.) (The number of words has been less in the past few days. I need to slow down, organize the plot, and overcome my limits. Please forgive me, readers!)
