Chapter 613 Level 5 Technology and...Qualified Inheritor!
The group began to study it on the tablet with great interest.
Facts have proved that this ultra-ancient relic does have a higher technological level than humans. The words on the computer are like flowing water waves, which will turn into words that humans can understand as thoughts change.
Lu Yuan looked carefully and saw that the water waves kept wriggling and actually all turned into Chinese characters! "The principle of this technology is completely unknown...how is it achieved?" several technical officials murmured to themselves.
Every time an item is displayed, a 3D image and related voice introduction will appear.
"Gold, silver, copper, iron and other conventional elements are in almost unlimited supply..."
"This is quite normal. In a materialistic civilization, there is no shortage of common materials." Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Then he was surprised: "There are actually cheap radioactive elements... are they mined from the earth's core? 10 kilograms of enriched uranium?!"
Radioactive minerals are extremely scarce in Pangu Continent, and only one small uranium mine has been found in the entire northern border. However, they are supplied in large quantities here, and everyone is excited!
"The heavy industry package for the second-level civilization includes 32 large-scale aids such as cement plants, steel plants, power plants, chemical plants, etc., with a value of 3,000!"
"Level 2 floating fortress, 500 value."
"Level 3 floating fortress, 5,000 value."
Everyone looked at each other, and felt that this place was similar to the Green Market.
What's more, there are things that exist only in science fiction novels: electron degenerate matter and neutron degenerate matter. When everyone sees these two terms, they can't help but be shocked.
“It really exists!”
"The strength of this civilization may be even greater than that of quantum civilization!"
Electron degenerate matter, simply put, is the matter on a white dwarf.
Ordinary matter is maintained by electromagnetic force, while electron degenerate matter is mainly maintained by electron degeneracy pressure.
The strength difference between electron degenerate matter and ordinary matter is about 10 million times! As for neutron degenerate matter, it is even more exaggerated. It is the matter on neutron stars, maintained by neutron degeneracy pressure, and its strength is one hundred trillion times that of ordinary matter! The gap in magnitude is too great. No matter what abilities you have, they are useless. The upper limit of materialism is indeed terrifying.
Taking another look, the price is also staggering, worth 500 trillion!
And there is only a long strand of hair - don't underestimate this strand of hair, its weight may reach hundreds of millions of tons, and it is extremely difficult to pick it up! Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and counted the pile of zeros at the end. He came to a conclusion in his mind: "What the hell is this? Even if all the civilizations of Pangu Continent were sold, it wouldn't be worth 500 trillion... This thing is not for sale at all. Maybe it's just to scare people. It's not even certain whether it exists."
Electron degenerate matter is relatively cheaper, with a value of 10 million for 20 square meters. This may be the price they are really willing to sell it for.
At this time, someone asked: "Is there any substance in the world more exaggerated than neutron degenerate matter? Something that is harder, heavier, and denser."
Hai Zhiyun, who specializes in materialism, replied: "It naturally exists. There is a phenomenon called quark confinement in the universe."
"Humans currently have no ability to observe quarks, or to separate them; they can only be found inside hadrons. Because of the confinement of photolithography, most of what humans know about quarks comes from observations of hadrons."
"But in theory there is a type of star whose mass is between that of a neutron star and a black hole, called a quark star."
"Quark stars are smaller than neutron stars, have higher density and higher mass. Because of their extremely high gravity, even neutrons will be crushed, and quarks are directly exposed. I think the strength of this kind of matter is higher than the degenerate state of neutrons. Of course, this kind of matter only exists in theory, and whether it exists in the real world is still unknown."
"Materialistic science also has many exciting areas worth exploring..." Lu Yuan shook his head, "But materialistic technology is too difficult. Idealistic technology only requires a few hundred geniuses, but materialism may require hundreds of millions or even billions of people, an industrial chain, and a large collider."
"Ah, yes. I even feel that human intelligence may not be enough." Hai Zhiyun agreed, "If some theories cannot be understood by even the smartest people, then materialism will be difficult to develop."
"Then what should we do?"
"Of course, it is to transform your own brain... just like Lord Old Cat, transform yourself into a silicon-based one." Hai Zhiyun pointed to his head.
However, everyone was excited. They originally thought that the remains of the fifth-level civilization would have no good things after so many eras, but they gave a big surprise right at the beginning! As expected, even more magical materialistic technology appeared later! "Four-dimensional protective shield?!"
A large shield made based on space technology that can hide itself in four-dimensional space.
This technology has the same function as the abilities of another dimension.
Thermal weapons such as nuclear bombs are nothing compared to the four-dimensional shield.
With a four-dimensional protective shield, you will be naturally invincible when facing enemies without spatial abilities!
"Klein bottle" is a large-scale storage technology. A small bottle can hold almost infinite liquid. Of course, the specific number is 110 million cubic meters. This thing is the best storage equipment for long-term space travel.
"This... sounds a bit like a storage space?" Lu Yuan was deeply moved. As materialistic technology developed, it really increased exponentially, and all the idealistic paths were cracked.
There is also a space device called "Dongtian in the Pot", which has a space of about 100,000 cubic kilometers and can accommodate a population of 100 million or even 1 billion!
If it is a city in the sky model, how big would the city be for a population of 1 billion? It's totally unrealistic.
With this cave in the pot, it is really easy to fit everything in and the living space is still very spacious.
All in all, space technology is so powerful that it is like magic to current humans. These scientists watched eagerly, and even the diplomats began to truly yearn for the fifth-level civilization.
It’s a pity that these things are too valuable. The cheapest “Klein Bottle” is worth millions.
The four-dimensional protective shield that people prefer is worth 15 million!
"These things are not unique, they are deliberately displayed here for people to see, and they are not intended to be sold?"
"It's possible."
Only Lu Yuan began to feel some vague worries after the initial excitement.
The more powerful the materialistic technology of the ruins, the higher the probability that it is a "thick earth civilization" or a "tower top civilization"...
"These two civilizations are both at the peak of their powers. The waters between them are extremely deep. Can they really leave their own relics behind?"
Lu Yuan didn’t think so. Even his name had been removed, but there were still relics left. Wasn’t this a joke? However, he also held a glimmer of hope: "If the ruins are a subsidiary civilization of Houtu Civilization, there is still a certain chance that there will be some inheritance left behind."
It would be unwise to leave rashly.
Then, the scientists nearby exclaimed again. If level five technology was like magic, then level four technology would be closer to their lives and could be considered understandable.
They saw the materialistic products of Level 4 civilization.
For example, a gene adjustment instrument can modify the disease-causing genes of newborns, allowing the offspring to become a more perfect species.
"This instrument can generally raise human innate intelligence to the level of genius, including athletic ability, lifespan, appearance, etc., all of which will increase to varying degrees."
This gene adjustment device is effective even for adults. It can treat chronic diseases and increase life expectancy. Of course, today when we have the Super Fire, the priority of this function is not very high.
But the gene adjustment instrument is a fundamental solution, and the extraordinary fire is just forcibly suppressed, which is equivalent to a temporary solution.
Just looking at the price, it’s worth 1.58 million!
There is also a complete set of "silicon-based transformation" equipment, which is to transform people into computers, which can greatly improve computing power and avoid most idealistic disasters.
But the consequence of doing so is that the development of idealistic disciplines will be difficult. After all, most idealistic disciplines require carbon-based brains. After being silicon-based, they become like old cats, and their divine attributes are reduced to below 1.0.
But the old cat is indeed very smart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to manage Green City so well.
"Intelligence technology...anything that increases intelligence is expensive."
"You don't need to buy siliconization for now, but the gene adjustment device has no side effects."
"Okay everyone, stop marveling at this. First, let's see how to obtain the value, otherwise everything will be in vain." Lu Yuan said.
Everyone quickly flipped to the back and were shocked again.
Most of the second-level civilizations sold all the iconic items of each era, and only exchanged them for a value of three to five thousand.
The value obtained by the third-level civilization is just over ten thousand.
In contrast, the other party actually sells level 5 space technology for millions or even tens of millions!
And level four technology would also cost hundreds of thousands or even millions!
Even if it is a city like Green City that has more experience than other civilizations, even if it sells its core historical secrets, the maximum it can get is 10,000 or 20,000.
Of course, you can still buy some things with a value of ten or twenty thousand, but they are basically the technology of the second or even third level civilization. Humans have to pick and choose and choose the good ones.
But no matter how much you buy, it is impossible to bring about a qualitative change in human beings.
"Since no civilization can afford it, then what is the purpose of opening this relic here?" Lu Yuan frowned and thought to himself, "Is there a way to obtain more value?"
"Or are they really selecting an heir?"
He doesn't quite understand.
Just then, he saw several power armors from the Atagan civilization carrying a silver-white container and starting the first wave of transactions.
The Atagan civilization had naturally made preparations in advance. The boxes were loaded with many ancient books and many things that were full of age: such as bone knives, jade pendants, rusty tripods, old cars, broken computers, etc.
This civilization seemed to be born in a supernatural world, and there were even traces of carvings on those ancient objects.
When seeing these antiquities, the octopus man in charge of reception's eyes lit up and he seemed quite satisfied. He then placed several large boxes of items on a conveyor belt for inspection.
Ten minutes later, the test was passed and the Atagan civilization gained a certain amount of value.
Solomon, the leader, was very satisfied. He smiled and waved to Lu Yuan and others, saying hello.
"What do you mean? Can the second generation of civilization get more value?" Lu Yuan scratched his head, and suddenly thought of a question, and suddenly realized, "This second generation of civilization has ancestors. Their history is superimposed on the first generation of civilization. How much advantage do they have? Maybe they can sell the cultural relics for tens of thousands?"
It’s a shame that human ancestors didn’t leave behind any good things.
Duke of Lanpeng Magmite said, "We Lanpeng people have a long history and we also have some cultural relics. How about we sell our items? We Lanpeng people can also be considered a surviving civilization, right?"
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly: "My Lord Duke, it's not that I despise you. No matter what, our family's history cannot compare to the second generation of civilization, or even the third generation of civilization."
However, the leader of the Atagan civilization seemed to be still not satisfied with the value he had obtained, and was bargaining with the octopus man.
They may think that their civilization is pretty good and that they are qualified to participate in some great cause.
After a long while, the octopus finally nodded in agreement.
Lu Yuan couldn't sit still any longer, so he had to shamelessly send a message to the Atagan Civilization: "Dear Sir Solomon, we are also worried about the problem of insufficient value."
"If you have any channels, can you answer our questions?"
Maybe because humans were indeed stronger, the group of Ata steel men talked for a while and then called the humans over.
"What you want to know is not a big secret. It has long been known to everyone." Solomon said with a smile, "This relic hides the great secret of the epochal disaster. It's a pity that we can't recognize this disaster... But we can help seal this disaster. If you make a contribution, the relic will give you a high value."
"Everyone, please come with us and take a look."
Is it related to the epochal disaster?
Lu Yuan frowned slightly and instinctively resisted. After all, he had so many experts and scholars following him, and if a crisis occurred, there would be a lot of trouble.
But on second thought, it would be strange if such a large relic had nothing to do with the epochal disaster.
"Alas, humans do need to know some things and can't be like flowers in a greenhouse."
The group entered a large spaceship, and after about an hour, the spaceship slowly landed on the ground.
People stared out the windows with wide eyes.
Their current location is under the towering tower. They are like ants under the feet of a giant, which makes people feel gigantic phobia.
A sharp howling sound like that of a baby penetrates the eardrums and interferes with one's thinking. Even if one stands here, cold sweats all over the body make one think of foreign trade involuntarily.
"Look over there!"
In one of the glass windows of the tower, something like a lump of flesh seemed to be wriggling.
When Lu Yuan saw this thing, he got goosebumps.
He had seen this thing in the ruins of the Golden Bronze Civilization! "No, it doesn't look like it... The meat ball here still doesn't look as weird as the one from the Gold and Bronze Civilization... Is this because it's been sealed..."
"As you can see, that is a part of the sealed epoch disaster."
"Of course, I can't tell you what it is specifically, because I don't know much about it myself. I'm just executing my role here." The tone of the octopus alien seemed a little proud.
"In order to strengthen this seal, you need a civilization with a long history! The more profound the history of a civilization, the greater the weight of idealism it brings, and the more it can suppress these inexplicable monsters."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. It was the first time he heard of this principle.
"But most civilizations are too weak, like grass. Their historical idealism has very limited gravity, so the value we can give is also limited."
"If your history is very rich and exaggerated, the more we will give away!"
Solomon suddenly asked, "Sir, just tell me, how can we get more value?"
The octopus man made a few gestures with his flexible tentacles: "It's both very simple and very complicated. I'll keep it short."
"The history of the past has limited weight. Only the history of the present and the future can exert sufficient power!"
"And the present and the future must be created by a living civilization!"
"You must collect blood samples from everyone in your civilization and create a stone tablet specifically for suppression."
"The weight of this stone tablet will grow along with your civilization."
"In this case, we will give you a higher value based on your civilization's current strength and future potential!"
"Even if it's worth millions or tens of millions, it's not impossible!"
Hiss—many people took a deep breath. If selling some cultural relics was acceptable, then asking everyone to provide a drop of blood was not so acceptable.
There is too much information in the blood, not to mention contact with these strange beings, God knows what the consequences will be...
But the other party gave a lot.
Even Lu Yuan felt confused and unsure.
“Heh,” the octopus man sneered, his tone unfriendly, “Aren’t these ghost things sealed for the sake of the entire Pangu Continent? Once the seal is broken, we’ll die anyway. We’ve lived enough and have no ability to reproduce. It’s you and your descendants who will die!”
"If it weren't for the fact that your two civilizations still have potential for development, I wouldn't bother telling you this method!"
Solomon quietly handed over a small gift: "My Lord, calm down... It is said that the ruins are selecting qualified successors. Is this news true?"
The octopus man took a look at the gift and lowered his voice: "Haha, you are quite sensible. But to be honest, I don't know the answer either. I'm just working here..."
"I have never seen a true senior official of the ruins."
Lu Yuan and the others were stunned. How could this guy bribe openly?
The octopus man continued, "That statement does make sense... However, your civilization must participate in the sealing. Otherwise, how can you inherit such a large ruin? We have worked so hard to maintain the status quo, and we are also waiting for a qualified successor to be freed."
Everyone quickly complimented the octopus man, praised his character, and praised him for his great contribution to Pangu Continent.
The octopus man changed the subject and said, "Let's not waste any more time. If you are unwilling to provide blood, there is another simpler method."
"Please go ahead."
"Curse, hatred, insult, anger... You can gather the malice of your civilization and generate a certain degree of idealistic gravity. This method is not as effective as your blood, so the value it can give is much lower, but it is still higher than selling cultural relics anyway."
"Many civilizations have chosen this approach."
This plan sounds feasible, but it sounds very weird.
And there are many rules and regulations in between. The so-called "malice" must be put into a crystal ball and exist as negative idealistic energy.
This malicious intent must be real and must pass some special detection.
"Isn't positive idealistic energy okay?" Lu Tiantian asked.
"What's the point of being positive? Do you want to make these monsters happy and live a life of drunkenness and debauchery in their dreams?" The octopus man was obviously more impatient with humans.
And people couldn't help but whisper, "General, are you going to agree to his request?"
"The other party didn't cheat us of our property..."
The temptation of being a "qualified heir" is right in front of us. If we can get a level 5 relic... what will happen in the future? However, for some reason, Lu Yuan always felt that these strange bills had some security risks, but he could not find too many loopholes.
In the face of huge information gap, we must be more cautious.
"Our Green City still has potential for development. Even without external help, if we develop independently for a few thousand years, although we may not be able to reach the fifth-level civilization, it should be more than enough to become the peak fourth-level civilization..."
After thinking about this, he made up his mind: "Don't worry, let's collect some information from other civilizations first, and then consider these contents."
"Understood."
Seeing that humans did not agree to this, the octopus man looked unhappy: "A bunch of cowards, seeing such a great cause, dare not take any risks, and can only become the rats in the sewer!"
"If an epochal disaster breaks out, what will be the meaning of your history? All of you will be wiped out of history! How long can you withstand the epochal disaster?"
"With that little bit of strength, you can't even defeat a [ghost] and yet you're hesitating here?"
"If you do this now, you can get more value to accelerate development. Why not do it?"
The octopus started to spout off loudly, looking extremely indignant.
"Guo Dafeng, what's so special about his emotions?" Although Lu Yuan was scolded, he became more alert in his heart.
"Commander-in-chief, his emotion is real... I can't see any flaws... Well, he sincerely believes this... Of course, there is a very small chance that he can completely immerse himself in the emotion and act out a scene... But I personally think that he is really disappointed in his friend..." Guo Dafeng whispered.
"Is that so..."
