Chapter 603 Goodbye to the North, and... a new journey!
The next thing was simple. The propaganda inside Green City had been going on for three whole years. All the materials and ideological mobilization were ready, and even the diplomatic affairs had a reasonable conclusion.
It's time to officially set off! Lu Yuan got up early in the morning and put on his "Fire Scale Dress".
This is indeed a recognized luxury item in the North. Even the Green City has not changed this cultural atmosphere. The dwarves specially gave it to the couple, one piece each.
Miss Conch carefully buttoned every button on Lu Yuan's clothes, and patted his collar to smooth out the wrinkles.
"The quality of this dress is not that good..." she complained.
Lu Yuan laughed: "This thing can generate heat by itself. Just based on this point, doesn't it make it a luxury item?"
At the same time, she changed into a nice green outfit, looked at herself in the mirror, and smoothed her hair slightly.
It's a bit demure, but if you look closely, you can still see the playful girlish feeling.
The two of them left the room, one after the other, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.
The restaurant was full of diners, scientists, engineers, engravers, teachers, and doctors. It was extremely lively.
Of the 6.5 million population, half were born in the last two hundred years. They have never enjoyed proper travel and have never experienced a disaster.
The emotions of these new generations are still mostly excitement and anticipation.
Young people are always more energetic and motivated.
"Commander-in-chief, when do we set off?!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You have to finish your meal." Lu Yuan said unhappily.
On the contrary, the older generation is filled with reluctance and sadness deep in their hearts.
These two hundred years are truly the most comfortable time in history! There is no conflict between civilizations, no disasters, only the joy of making a fortune.
There is no shortage of extraordinary resources, so you can research almost anything you want.
After getting used to this kind of comfortable life, who would want to go back to the days of fear? Of course, the older generation also knows that the country is now many times stronger than in the past. It can easily crush any small wind or wave - as long as there is no natural disaster, there is really no fear of most disasters! At 10 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, everyone in Green City watched Lu Yuan's speech on the big screen and said goodbye to their friends from afar.
"You know, in Pangu Continent, being weak is not a mistake. Being weak and not knowing it is the biggest mistake!"
"We are at the third level of civilization and will remain so for a long time. This level is very difficult to overcome."
"We are not a powerful civilization. We need to make more friends, understand more mysteries, and explore higher-level technology!"
"If you choose comfort now, you won't have the chance to regret it if a disaster strikes in the future."
The concept of the "third stage of civilization" has been deeply rooted in people's minds.
Anyway, people don’t have a fourth-level civilization to refer to, and they really think they are a third-level civilization - they are the king of the North, just like a kindergarten bully, and they are embarrassed to say it out loud.
On the floating fortresses, many friends from other civilizations were waving their hands, waving flags, and bidding farewell loudly.
"Sincerely wish that the Green City of Human Civilization 18 will have a smooth journey in the future."
"We'll meet again in five hundred years!" This is the slogan shouted by the dwarf civilization.
"Wa Luo Luo!" The one-eyed chief led a group of tribesmen on the mountain, waving sticks and howling. This was a unique etiquette of their race, to send off the warriors who were going to the battle.
"The giant crystal turtle is coming!"
Yes, the giant crystal turtle appeared, and its eyes were staring at humans.
Lu Yuan did not take this vision away.
On the one hand, his [Temple of Greed] can continue to make money here; on the other hand, the giant crystal turtle lives quite comfortably here and is revered as a good omen by many civilizations, so just let it live comfortably.
Many people from Green City also ran to the edge and waved goodbye.
"Goodbye! Goodbye!"
In the beginning, in order to avoid interracial relationships, most ordinary citizens needed to pass strict review before leaving the city; later, the human government gradually relaxed the restrictions, and as long as they obtained a visa, they could travel to other cities.
Therefore, human citizens have also established a lot of relationships with the outside world.
Many people couldn't help but shed tears. The pain of parting was like the winter wind blowing on people's faces.
Lu Yuan's voice became louder: "So, let's set off, my friends! Only by facing a bigger world can we have the motivation to move forward."
"I declare that Green City has officially set sail!"
Accompanied by a breeze.
The huge city slowly rose from the ground and sailed towards the sun.
"Goodbye! Goodbye!" Spaceships of all sizes were chasing after them.
Even on the ground, there were many people chasing after them.
The human races in several other cities, such as Ulan City and Mailao City, were also witnessing the departure of this sky city.
Many people couldn't help crying.
There were also some people waving and shouting something.
After many years, these indigenous human races have become the more powerful category among the second-level civilizations. Even the semiconductor industry has developed considerably, and they have some reserves of technology of the third-level civilization.
There is always a day to say goodbye after meeting each other, it's time to live independently.
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and he bowed deeply to the big screen: "Goodbye, friends!"
So on this day, the 18th civilization of mankind stepped into a bigger world.
A world without boundaries...
When they arrived, the North was a desolate place.
When they left, every race had access to electricity, had enough food to eat, and lived in buildings.
Just two hundred years.
The fallen leaves become a dance, the wind and snow become a song.
Ice and frost become poetry, and geothermal energy becomes song.
…
…
The flight of Sky City was smooth.
After Lu Yuan returned to the office, he held another small internal meeting.
"The next step is easy."
"The first thing is that we have to tighten our internal muscles."
"We have indeed been a bit lax over the years. The consequence of having no external enemies is that we have gradually become addicted to comfort."
This kind of comfort is not degeneration, but a natural laxity and lack of a sense of crisis.
"It's like a giant baby who grew up in socialism. When he heard gunshots in a foreign country, he not only didn't run away, but actually ran over to watch. Yes, I'm talking about the new generation. In the North, other races gave way to humans. But in Pangu Continent, what do humans think of themselves?"
Everyone in the meeting room couldn't help but laugh.
Several new members of the new generation were also a little embarrassed. There were indeed embarrassing incidents where others were fighting while humans were watching.
"After returning to the alternate dimension, it is necessary to let the new generation experience the terrifying snake-man [ghost] and bear witness to our past enemies."
"Keep your nerves tight!"
Lu Tiantian said: "Commander-in-chief, your idea is really harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself... We still can't defeat the [ghost] now, right?"
"If something goes wrong, many people may die."
The number of members of the upper parliament has increased to 120, which is still a relatively streamlined power center.
In addition to the older generation such as Sha Mo, Lu Tiantian, Hai Zhiyun and others, there is also a new generation of about 30 people, who are concentrated in the military, technology, medical and industrial fields.
It also includes three Lanpeng people, who also have certain powers.
By the way, the new generation in the last two hundred years all have the surname "Bei" to commemorate the fact that they were born in the north.
Lu Yuan said: "We don't need to fight against the [ghost]. Let's all hide in the small cave and let the Mirage Dragon use the alien space to protect us."
"That little bit of space alone is enough to scare them. Our virtual world cannot create such a terrifying atmosphere."
Several new generation parliamentarians kept nodding their heads and some even wanted to experience it for themselves.
Lu Yuan paused for a moment and continued, "Secondly, after leaving the North, we have to live a tighter life. We can no longer be as extravagant as before and start any project we want."
"Mr. Cat, you have to review the project strictly."
The old cat said: "A lot of funding has been cut over the years."
“Ministers of all departments must ensure that existing resources are recycled and utilized.”
In fact, poverty is the norm in life.
More than half of the extraordinary resources in the entire northern territory are concentrated in Green City.
Those minerals will not evaporate, but will be transformed into fixed assets, such as various instruments, tools, and pendants worn by people.
These existing assets can already be used to do a lot of things.
However, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. This change still takes some time to adapt to.
"And thirdly, we have been developing for so long, we need to update some equipment for our ally, the Blue Roc Civilization."
"Everyone, please prepare in the near future so that it will be convenient for our allies to take over."
The three members of the Lanpeng civilization also showed gratitude on their faces.
The Lanpeng civilization is actually in a semi-extinct state, but the fact that humans have always kept their promises is also the motivation for them to follow.
…
A month later, Green City arrived at the location of the [monster].
Under the influence of the Blue Peng people, a transparent ripple swept across, and the mysterious [monster] put Green City back into the alien space.
The birds are still in long-term hibernation, and not many have awakened.
Prince Jin Bot, the Blue Peng prince, and six old aliens warmly welcomed Lu Yuan and the others.
"Finally I waited until you guys came back, and there's just enough time!"
"The monster will re-activate space travel and move to another location within three months." Both parties shook hands enthusiastically.
The new generation of senior officials looked at the legendary prince with curiosity.
The human soldiers delivered new equipment, including the recently developed [Dream Supercomputer Star], which has stronger computing power and stability.
There is also the [Universal Factory (Materialistic Version)], which is equivalent to a large 3D printer. It inputs raw materials and can quickly output finished products.
"Oh? This thing is pretty good!" Several active Lanpeng experts touched the big guy.
In addition, people also presented a new generation of "Source Fire Giant God Soldier", a power armor that combines Source Fire technology with Giant God Soldier.
The latest model of small hovercraft, plus some extraordinary consumables.
"You have a greater influence on the monsters?" Lu Yuan heard the subtext.
"Indeed, we can sense part of the monster's thoughts and predict its actions."
Jinbot's expression was somewhat smug, but also a little sad, a higher influence meant that they were more deeply bound to the [monster], and it would be more difficult for them to break free in the future.
But he soon cheered up, thinking that it was better to live a miserable life than to die.
"It senses the turbulence of time and space in the outside world. It will use this turbulence to travel through space."
This [monster] is very smart. There is a lot of taboo information in its alien space. In order to avoid being found by those monsters, it will move its territory every once in a while.
This transfer phenomenon can be utilized by humans.
Taking advantage of the time when the machines were being handed over, Jinbot met his people.
After 200 years of development, the number of Lanpeng people in Green City has grown to 30,000.
Although they are few in number, their advantage lies in that each one of them is an elite.
When the Lanpeng people joined the human race, they brought the inheritance of the entire city with them, brought money into the group, and lived a fairly wealthy life.
Jinbot simply shook hands with a few old friends, confirmed their living conditions, and then turned and left.
"Since you have joined the human race, I am no longer your leader. There is nothing for me to tell you. You don't need to listen to me!"
"Live well as a human being."
"Show your worth! Don't worry about this place!"
…
Lu Yuan secretly heard these words and sighed in his heart.
If the Blue Peng civilization had not perished in this dangerous alien space, it would have at least become a pillar-level civilization of Pangu Continent in the future...
…
As for the six old aliens, they visited the Green City, which had undergone a drastic change, with great interest.
From the old city area, to the industrial zone, to the science and technology park, ecological park, and then to the major projects of the fourth level civilization.
Everything is different from before.
The city has a total of four layers, and each layer is divided into six circular areas. The outermost ring is the military area, and the inner ring is the science and technology area, industrial area, and education area.
The towering buildings extend upward along the circular inner wall, forming a three-dimensional city with layers upon layers.
The most eye-catching is the central ecological dome, which is home to a variety of extraordinary plants, and the lush treetops glow with emerald luster under the "Harvest Blessing".
Even though these old guys have known these things for a long time, they still feel a different kind of emotion when they witness them with their own eyes.
“The North is indeed the place where you will rise.”
"We are already close to interstellar civilization..."
Several old strangers couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. This scene at this moment reminded them of the past.
At this moment, the city's citizens are arranging emergency shelters.
Rail trains and hovercrafts transport people to the core shelter of Xiaodongtian.
At night, the snake man [ghost] may still come and attack humans.
The mirage dragon swayed and swam over from the sky, blew out a puff of white mist very intimately, and then swayed and spit out a bubble.
The proud dragon in the eighth era turned into a silly dragon in the ninth era.
"Wow, you've grown so big!" The old aliens patted the thick scales, which felt like jade. "Do you dare to fight the snake man [ghost]?"
The little mirage dragon shuddered, flicked its tail, and swam away.
Many years have passed, and the little mirage dragon has grown to 400 meters in length and weighs 70,000 to 80,000 tons. Its food is also not bad, and it has eaten a lot of human consumables. Now it is slowly passing through adolescence and moving towards maturity.
With its 19th level extraordinary level, it should be easy to protect a small cave in theory.
"But this guy's potential seems to have reached its limit." Lu Yuan joked, "In the past few years, he has only eaten and not grown. I always feel that he is less domineering than the previous giant mirage dragon and has become more cute and stupid."
"Roar!" The little mirage dragon swam back, a little angry. How could you expose the dragon's shortcomings?
You want to fight, right?
"After all, it's not a demon, so it can't grow infinitely. But as long as it has enough experience, it can still grow a little bit." The large crystal man said, "Crisis and fierce battles can stimulate its potential."
"In a peaceful state, a level 19 anomaly is already pretty good."
That's true. Lu Yuan himself hasn't fought for a long time, so his hands and feet are a little unfamiliar, not to mention the little mirage dragon who sleeps after eating.
The immortal giant turtle crawled over.
This creature's back is high and bulging, about 9 meters in height, and its plastron is 25 meters long, like a small three-story house.
"Master Turtle, let's test the power of the [ghost]! Wow ha ha!"
Lu Yuan: ...
Its last major contribution was the discovery of Jinbot.
This time, forget it.
…
Just like that, night came quickly.
The [Ghost] really sensed something, crawled out of the palace, and came to Green City to wander around.
The harsh atmosphere and the terrifying scene that seemed like the natural enemy of life made the new generation feel the pressure brought by the [ghosts], and they were all scared to death.
Even with the protection of the little mirage dragon's "mirage space", he still dared not make a sound.
"We are really only a third-level civilization! The strength of the [ghosts] is too high!"
This up-and-coming new generation is named Beichen. He is a person with the dual skills of craftsmanship and carving and reading. He is also the strongest genius among the new generation.
Geniuses are always a little arrogant.
Seeing the [ghost] crawling outside and the cold air constantly invading his body, Beichen was so scared that his hair stood on end.
"Nonsense, do you think we lied to you?" Lu Yuan said unhappily.
Therefore, the concept of "Level 3 Civilization" has really taken root in people's minds - in the past, everyone really thought it was a modest statement! As for Lu Yuan, he was not willing to go out and compete with the [ghost].
On the one hand, his combat power did not increase much, and he still couldn't take down this thing.
No matter how much money you have, you can't afford to waste it.
On the other hand, the snake man [ghost] is a good teacher to educate the new generation.
After experiencing its intimidation, everyone is trembling with fear, recognizing themselves and completely eliminating any arrogance.
As long as humans can't take it down, they will have to do their best to develop themselves! Until daytime, the snake man [ghost] returned to his palace slowly like a set program.
"Teacher Snake, thank you for your hard work. You are welcome to come and teach students every night!" Lu Yuan bowed slightly to "Teacher Snake" across a mirage space.
…
The two months of refuge passed quickly.
On a sunny day, the [monster] suddenly activated space travel and came to an unknown place.
However, inside the alien space, everything was still calm, as if nothing had happened.
"There is a vast ocean outside, you can set off." Jinbot sent a notification.
"No problem." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Comrades, there is no turning back!"
When I heard that Green City had really left the North, there was no turning back.
Everyone had a subtle feeling that something was not quite real.
The snowy frosty land, the smiling foreigners, the freezing cold wind, the frozen ocean, everything was gradually fading away.
Some people closed their eyes and burst into tears, while others gritted their teeth and swore secretly.
We have given up so much just to become a greater civilization! Even Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little lost and sad. He didn't know if his choice was right...
He only knew that he had to move forward.
There is no way back.
The space around them twisted rapidly, and the city disappeared into another dimension once again, as if they had never been there...
…
At the same time, this huge city appeared on the vast ocean! A new journey has begun!
…
(This volume is finally over. Green City has been greatly strengthened, and a new story has begun. The human mother civilization has finally left the safe zone.) (The author finally breathed a sigh of relief. This book has passed the two million word mark and is heading towards three million words. The plot should not be broken, right?) (Please give me a monthly ticket! Target: Top 100 monthly tickets!) (End of this chapter)
