Chapter 658 A new journey!
In this kind of hand-to-hand combat without the use of superpowers, the larger Mirage Dragon has a slight advantage in terms of strength.
But in terms of flying speed and agility, the three king insects clearly have the upper hand. Their flight trajectories are like bullets traveling at three times the speed of sound.
The two sides fought with punches and claws, and the road was almost wiped out, but there was still no winner.
The little mirage dragon felt a little embarrassed. They hadn't seen each other for such a short time, so how could these king insects compete with him?
I am the protector of humanity!
"Useless guy, what's the point of guarding! You should control your temper and practice hard here." Lu Yuan mocked unceremoniously, "Think about it, you have been eating and sleeping all these years, how long has it been since you encountered a crisis?"
This face-loving guy growled at Lu Yuan.
It said that it wanted to challenge the Greedy Demon. This kind of hand-to-hand combat is too frustrating. I will fight you with my super powers!
"Ahhh!" The old wolf was loyally protecting his master. He stretched out his long pink tongue and licked his dry nose. This guy actually dared to roar at the little mirage dragon. He was really taking advantage of the tiger's power.
"Cluck, cluck." The chicken snake also laughed evilly. It seemed to have found back the fun of its youth, lying in the chicken coop incubating eggs.
The mother bear's eyes were shining. It was the one that benefited the most here. Its fur was shiny and its body had grown larger.
Only the brain did not become smarter. The increase in strength gave the mother bear confidence, and there was a hint of challenging her master.
"Okay, okay, if I, Old Lu, don't show my might, you will all treat me as a sick cat."
Lu Yuan transferred his soul to the Greedy Demon God and began to grow wildly. Half an hour later, a giant three thousand meters tall appeared!
The skin all over his body was like rough blue-grey boulders, and there seemed to be flames burning in his pupils. The blooming red light illuminated an area of hundreds of kilometers. His weight must have been hundreds of billions of tons, and he could stir up a huge gale with just a move of his hands!
[You, mother bear, want to challenge my position as the master of the world? ]
Lu Yuan bent down and placed a finger on the mother bear, and the light of the eternal fire covered her whole body.
The mother bear had never seen such a scene before. She felt like she was being crushed by a mountain. She struggled frantically but to no avail. Then she couldn't help but urinate out.
Little Mirage Dragon: ...
How can we fight this? You are trying to kill the bear and warn the dragon, right?
I, the Mirage Dragon, must be tougher and not be afraid of you.
[You, want to challenge me too?] Lu Yuan looked at it, stretched out his hand and grabbed it fiercely! Although he was huge, his sensitivity was amazing. This grab broke through the speed of sound and grabbed the little mirage dragon like pinching a loach.
Its tone immediately softened: "Roar!"
(Learn from you! Learn from you!)
【This young man is teachable.】 Lu Yuan was very satisfied with his attitude.
…
Just like that, Lu Yuan’s friends became the first guests of the Turtle Temple.
They will stay here permanently and increase the concentration of their blood - whether they can succeed or not depends on their own luck.
As for when the humans in Green City will move in... Lu Yuan hasn't thought about this question yet. There is still a big gap between intelligent life and birds and beasts.
Once the secrets of the world of Qiankun are leaked, the consequences will be unpredictable.
"Alas, the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of it. Although the Turtle Temple is large, it cannot provide a living for all mankind..."
"Let's wait a little longer. If some elite scientists have lifespan issues, I would still be willing to let them live in the Turtle Temple to study some issues."
However, the long-term absence of Little Mirage Dragon will still cause some problems: its popularity in Green City is very high, and its long-term disappearance will obviously cause civil unrest.
Lu Yuan discussed with the old cat for a while. The old cat patted his head and came up with a good idea: "We can claim that it has returned to the northern border to travel. We are staying near the ruins of the fifth-level civilization. There are few resources and the place is small. The little mirage dragon is not used to it."
"If it returns to the North, it will be acceptable to the people. After all, the North is our backyard."
"Well, that's all I need to inform you."
…
When everything is calm, time flies by like a flash.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and thirty years had passed...
Lu Yuan devoted most of his energy to transforming the Qiankun world. He would occasionally show up in Green City to hold civilization meetings, educate children, and interact with craftsmen.
Occasionally, I would return to the North to chat with the craftsmen in the Hall of Craftsmen about their recent inspirations.
Then, the 30-year period is up, and Green City is finally leaving this ruin.
During these thirty years, Lu Yuan gained a lot, and the Qiankun World took the first step from nothing to something.
However, the development of Green City is neither good nor bad. There are not too many adventures and it can only be described as "going by the rules."
"In the past thirty years, the greatest achievement is the initial development of blood technology. A blood-returning potion can make a person grow to a height of 3-5 meters. The upper limit of the extraordinary level is level 8."
Lu Yuan pinched his nose. Well, it sounds good, but it's actually not very useful. First, the price is too expensive. The cost of a potion may be several hundred spiritual charms.
The second is that any normal person does not want to grow into a 3-meter tall person. As for the extraordinary level 8, it does not have much significance except for a longer lifespan.
"It's good to use it on some rare animals."
Another thing is the great development in the military field. In the past few decades, we have learned a lot of knowledge from the relics of advanced civilizations. For example, weapons at the interstellar civilization level such as electromagnetic guns and lasers have made considerable progress.
Various warships have also been built. The largest flagship is called "Kunlun Mountain", which is equipped with the most advanced drone control center, high-energy lasers, heavy electromagnetic guns, hydrogen bombs and other materialistic weapons, as well as spiritual equipment such as light curtains and glyph shields. There is also an invisible insect skin on its surface, which can enter optical stealth mode.
The cost of building the Kunlunshan aerospace aircraft carrier alone reached 800 Lingyun! It has a nuclear fusion engine and a large ecosystem, and can travel in space for a long time.
Due to limited materials, only one "Kunlun Mountain" was built.
In addition, there is a smaller sub-flagship "Taihangshan" cruiser, the unit price of one is 212 Lingyun, the ecosystem is relatively small, and it can only sail for a short period of time. There are 5 such cruisers.
There is also a conventional battleship named "Wangwushan", which costs 49 Lingyun per ship. The military ordered 20 ships at once! In this way, the military expenditure is nearly 3,000 Lingyun!
When Lu Yuan saw this huge amount of money, he almost shed bitter tears. Green City has finally grown up. They actually spent so much money... They can actually independently build this level of military?! (In fact, they have already sent an email to inform them, but Lu Yuan has never read it.) It feels like the stupid son who was raised with great difficulty is finally able to work and earn money, but the first thing he does is buy a gun.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with the government report?" The old cat walked in from the door with an elegant cat step.
Lu Yuan sat upright, "Military development is so-so...Isn't scientific and technological development a bit slow? It took thirty years to work on just the science of blood? The other achievements are just small fry."
"That's not something we can do. On the military level, we can copy the scrapped spacecraft of the fifth-level civilization... But on the technological level, there are only some small shrimps around us, and the mutual trust is not high, so it is difficult to carry out research."
Lu Yuan sighed lightly. Most civilizations are like this. It is good enough if they can develop normally without any natural or man-made disasters.
It is unrealistic to want to soar to the level of fifth-level civilization in a short period of time as in the past.
"Come on, after all these years, you have to attend a high-level meeting." The old cat urged.
Lu Yuan nodded, shaved his beard in front of the mirror, changed into a black suit, and went to the central building near the poppy tree with Old Cat.
Hundreds of members of the high-level council sat in the large conference room. All of them wore formal attire, and some wore green uniforms. The discussion atmosphere was lively.
Professors Lu Tiantian, Hai Zhiyun and others saw Lu Yuan, nodded slightly and greeted him.
The meeting officially started at nine o'clock in the morning.
Lu Yuan walked up to the podium and delivered a speech: "Comrades, friends, today is March 12, 532 of the Ninth Era, an ordinary day."
"Looking back over the past thirty years, we have once again made great progress..."
Although these lengthy speeches are somewhat formalistic, they are also a summary of the past.
"Wow!" The audience applauded enthusiastically.
But the next question arises: where should Green City go after leaving the Level 5 ruins? "Please speak freely, and if you have any ideas, just say it directly."
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
The surrounding areas, covering millions of kilometers in radius, have been searched by all major civilizations, and extraordinary minerals are extremely rare.
No matter where Green City goes, it can't find any good mineral veins.
However, this place is far away from the human mother civilization, that is, Yunhai City, and it may take thousands of years to fly there slowly! In this case, some people suggested that Green City can already transform from a wandering mode to a settled mode.
"As a relic of a Level 5 civilization, this place has a certain degree of security. Although Level 5 relics only protect major civilizations for 30 years, they do not prohibit civilizations from settling around them."
"Many civilizations found a place with excellent environment to live after their protection period ended."
"After investigation, we believe that there are still many suitable places to live."
You can just find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to squat down, you can also get some protection, and you have many neighbors, why not do it?
What's more, Green City's current productivity is relatively developed, and people's food, clothing, housing and transportation needs are basically met.
The extraordinary consumables produced in a year are worth more than 1,000 Lingyun! It is precisely because of this that such a large military force can be supported.
Even if he continued to wander around and mine all the way, he could only dig up a hundred spiritual energy at most.
"Compared with current productivity, treasury surplus, and future expenditure, these excavated minerals are no longer the main source of our resource accumulation."
"The cultivation and breeding of extraordinary life forms is the mainstream way to make profits."
Therefore, some experts believe that we can slow down, find a place to settle down formally, expand the population, and develop slowly.
"The current population of Green City is less than 10 million. If it expands to 100 million or even 1 billion in the future, with the continuous expansion of the talent pool, some problems may be solved."
"As for the acquisition of resources... With the development of bloodline technology, the output of extraordinary creatures can be further improved. The average resources of the population have not decreased much."
This view has sparked widespread discussion among the public.
This may be what is called "laziness". Although most citizens still have ambitions, subtle changes will occur in social atmosphere over time.
This view would never have appeared in the past, but now with the improvement of strength, some people have become somewhat satisfied.
“I absolutely disagree with the settlement model!”
"Population expansion is not a big deal. The nomadic model can also expand, so why must we settle down to expand? This is clearly greed for comfort!"
Professor Sha Mo, an old man from the first generation, slapped the table vigorously and said excitedly: "The only constant in the world is change. One step slow, every step slows down. Although the area around the Level 5 ruins is stable, think carefully, has our development slowed down in recent years?"
"Don't be complacent about our current achievements! Is the space port built? Can we defeat a [monster]? Can we seal a [ghost]?"
"There is a North behind us. We are admired by thousands of civilizations in the North! We have no reason to stay here and coyly seek the protection of others. Instead, we should protect other civilizations and march towards greater heights!"
Shamo is an old man who has experienced many disasters. In the beginning, his Shali tribe couldn't even get water to drink and their life was miserable.
Up to now, he lives a wealthy life and has a high social status.
But they are still unwilling to stop. These old people are really tired of being poor and have an endless desire for the enhancement of civilization.
"But with this kind of wandering mode, the resources obtained are no longer proportional to the risks encountered. We were indeed poor in the past, but now our productivity is different from before..."
"In the settlement mode, you will never be able to dig up higher-level civilization ruins, nor will you be able to obtain high-level materials! All materials above the legendary level are kept in places where few people go."
"With our current level of development, most of the remains of civilizations are weaker than us and can't actually bring any benefits."
People were discussing it enthusiastically.
In this kind of situation, each person has his own reasons.
Professor Sha Mo paused for a moment, and regained his composure a little: "Commander Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Yuan just watched coldly, and even the old cat and conch sat quietly without saying anything.
"I have a suggestion. If you are really afraid of the crisis, you can use the teleportation function of the [Temple] to return to the North and settle down."
"Those of us who want to travel should continue to travel. Our civilization is strong enough, and it is time to leave a double insurance."
His opening words immediately silenced the noisy discussion.
This is equivalent to the division of civilization, and no one dares to speak.
Those who raised the idea couldn't help but wipe their sweat and muttered, "Commander-in-Chief, I'm just reflecting the opinions of a minority of the people... I also know that settling down will definitely slow down development... But..."
Lu Yuan nodded: "You don't have to worry, and I'm not mocking you. There are always some people who pursue comfort, and there are many civilizations in the North, full of competition, which will boost work enthusiasm."
Lu Yuan had really thought carefully about letting some people return to the North. On the one hand, it was to purify the team, and on the other hand, those who left could go to the North to build a planetary engine!
This is a huge project that requires a large population and hundreds of years of persistence.
But his words have frightened many congressmen. Their current social system and ideology are built around Lu Yuan and Hai Luo. No one is willing to leave their parents!
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The old cat glanced at Lu Yuan and suddenly made a suggestion: "Since there is no direction to move forward, and we have visited all the surrounding civilizations one by one, there is nothing to learn from. Let's just return to the alien space and wait for space transmission."
"Mr. Old Cat, doesn't space teleportation require waiting for space turbulence?" a congressman questioned, "Maybe it will take decades, or even hundreds of years? Instead of waiting in another space, it's better to stay here. At least there are civilizations to communicate with."
The old cat said: "Our ally, the Blue Peng civilization has sent a notice that space turbulence may appear in the next few years. It is not too late to go back now."
"Let's randomly teleport our Green City to a corner of Pangu Continent and start a new journey."
Lu Yuan was puzzled. What are you talking about, Old Cat? How come I don’t know anything about this?
Wait, you don't really think I'm Pangu Continent's biological son?!
But if you think about it carefully, it is really possible that Pangu Continent deliberately launched space turbulence!
Because the last time I teleported, I came here and solved a troublesome problem.
What about the next transmission?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. Pangu Continent was in real trouble, and it might even cost the lives of all mankind! But for everyone in the conference room, they felt that this news was very good, and there was a subtle hope.
“Instead of running around aimlessly, it’s better to randomly teleport to a farther place. At least you can dig up extraordinary minerals.”
"Yes, I agree with Chairman Old Cat's proposal!"
"Then... continue to adopt the wandering mode."
The old cat glanced at Lu Yuan. What? Where did his previous ambition go?
You said yourself that you want to march towards a greater civilization, so how can you still be afraid of trouble? !
Lu Yuan was indeed a little worried. He was now a big tree that attracted the wind. Although his fighting power was strong, his enemies were also strong.
But he thought, Pangu Continent can't always bring troubles to the door, maybe this time it will bring a great opportunity? Good and bad are interdependent! And since Qiankun Continent can reproduce plants, he is a little bit arrogant now. If he really encounters a big disaster, he can throw Green City into Qiankun World, and humans can still survive!
"Well, since everyone agrees, the next stop is returning to the alien dimension!"
