Chapter 659: The Artisan Team Returns to the North
Humanity is aware of this little crisis of laziness.
When Lu Yuan announced his decision to "return to the alien space", some public discussions emerged within various communities and on online forums.
“We are at and will remain at Level 3 civilization for a long time.”
"One [ghost] can kill us all! Therefore, we still have to go to a more distant place and seek opportunities for further development."
"Don't let the short-lived peace blind your eyes!"
“The nature of the world is chaos.”
It is so comfortable near the high-level ruins. When the security issues that are usually the most important are no longer considered, and the human race has not had a war with the outside civilization for hundreds of years, the mentality called "laziness" will always arise naturally.
People who have experienced war and people who grew up in peacetime are always two different things.
After experiencing brutal battles, one will inevitably become tired of war. Who would want to see the mountains of corpses and seas of fire? But one will also involuntarily prepare for war and make preparations for the worst.
But on the Internet, those who call "war" are often young people who were born in a peaceful era.
They always look at the cost of war and always think that war is like in video games, which can be accomplished by clicking the mouse and keyboard.
Even with the best education, it is difficult to reverse this change in thinking.
So, go to far away.
A month later, the diplomatic team completed their farewell to their neighbors.
When hearing that Green City intended to travel far away, many civilizations were actually a little surprised.
The owner of the ruins, the octopus people, expressed their blessings: "There is no war in our area, and there are relatively few racial conflicts, but this may not be the case in other areas... Your civilization must be careful."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "We understand."
Then he gave gifts to the leaders of other civilizations.
There's nothing special about it, just some extraordinary consumables and two leaves of the poppy tree. This unique plant is the symbol of Green City.
He looked at Solomon, the leader of the Akagan civilization and said, "You have been here for quite some time. Where is there any good place to go? Are you going to stay here forever?"
Solomon accepted the small gift and said, "Thank you for your kindness, great leader of human civilization. I also want to lead civilization away in style like you, but the masses of my civilization don't seem to be willing to do so."
"I can't convince everyone by myself, I can only take it step by step."
"By the way... there are many civilizations here... even if there are not enough resources to share here, it will still become prosperous."
Lu Yuan glanced at him.
Solomon wants to wait until humans are gone before spreading "Field Industrialization".
These clever demons have obviously figured out his identity, and the two sides have been living in peace for all these years.
He nodded: "What about the other two?"
"Stay over there... They are facing the same difficulties and can't leave for a while."
He glanced at the wild boar [demon] and the stone [demon] and said softly, "Then take care of yourselves. You won't be trapped to death here, right?"
"That won't be the case." Solomon smiled. "We can always get away with it if we stir up some conflict and start a war with each other."
When leaving the conference hall, Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If he had not noticed the signs of lazy thinking in Green City early on and forced changes, it would have been difficult for him to force the development of Green City if social inertia had become stronger and stronger in a few decades.
"It seems that this high-level relic can not only activate the blood curse, but also lock down the surrounding civilizations."
"This relic can fight against [ghosts]. Once a comfortable atmosphere is created, there will be no further progress."
He could only sigh silently and wish those civilization leaders good luck in the future.
Just like this, Green City carried enough supplies. After Lu Yuan gave the order, the huge city started up and floated above the sky at an altitude of about 50,000 meters.
Many human citizens stood on the edge of the city, witnessing the huge ruins of the fifth-level civilization.
A large group of octopus people are waving their tentacles, wishing humans good luck in the future.
Some people suddenly realize that they seem to have wasted some time.
Looking back over the past thirty years, the pace of life has clearly slowed down.
The progress of scientific research is not as rapid as in the past - although there has been some progress, the impression left by the past thirty years is indeed very vague, as if it had never happened.
One of the more typical characteristics is that in the past 30 years, no one with dual divine skills has been born naturally, and the number of civilization points obtained naturally is decreasing.
This also indirectly confirms that Green City’s “luck” in recent years is not as strong as in the past.
…
"Fortunately, it's not too late to make changes now!"
"From today on, let us face the vast Pangu Continent again!"
On a training ground on the edge of the city, Colonel Lu Ying was leading the team in training. He said the classic line of every instructor: "As a soldier, you must have a strong will and positive subjective initiative. I hope you will not become the worst class I have ever led!"
"Now, the Red Team and Blue Team's exercise officially begins!"
In front of him stood a row of strangely shaped power armors, their silver-white bodies reflecting dazzling light in the sun.
The power armor these days has more and more integrated functions and is getting bigger and bigger. Functions such as anti-gravity, jet function, high-frequency weapons, electromagnetic guns, etc. are all crammed into it.
From the original height of less than 3 meters, close to the human body, it has become a 10-meter-high Gundam form.
But later people realized that since robots are already so huge, why make them Gundams?
Aren’t the shapes of tanks and airplanes attractive? Therefore, the shapes of these new equipment also became strange.
For example, the big ball in front of you has eight arms and looks like a spider. Each arm is equipped with different weapons, such as high-frequency knives, carbon acetylene chainsaws, spiritual light curtains, Wolverine clubs, etc.
Its surface is tanned from the shell of "Leviathan", which is resistant to fire, acid and cold.
All of this combined makes it an absolute master in close combat!
What a sixth-level field master! He was killed instantly by this machine upon first contact!
Lu Ying sat in the command room, watching the exercises of both sides with a smile on his face.
"How is the idealist resistance?"
"Colonel, isn't idealistic resistance the most basic statistic? It has already reached AAA level. It's still one step away from S level. The main reason is still the funding...Haha, the materials required for S-level skin are too expensive."
Lu Ying was still not satisfied: "It is said that the laboratory now has the highest level of SSS-level protection standards. Even a [Ghost]-level field cannot cause idealistic interference to the internal machinery. It would be great if we had that thing."
"Well, it can't be mass-produced. It's expensive, and I don't think it's necessary." The researcher in front of him said with a smile, "Because even if it reaches this level of protection, it's really too difficult to defeat the [Ghost] in close combat. It's better to develop some high-powered weapons and solve the problem from another angle."
"That's true..." Lu Ying said, "But can our combat weapons defeat those creatures whose bloodline has reverted to their ancestral lineage?"
"We can already catch up with the level 15 Overlord." The researcher said firmly, "We are still a little short of the flying maneuverability of the level 18 Overlord."
"But there is always an end to the return of ancestral bloodlines. Compared with the original mythical ancestors, they are always inferior. However, there is no end to our mechanical transformation!"
"Then let's fight!" Lu Ying drove a large combat armor, waving his eight arms, and started fighting with another huge mechanical unit holding a shield.
…
On the other side, Lu Yuan was also observing the recent war weapons exercises.
Humanity has indeed not made any epoch-making progress, but it has done a good job of sorting out and summarizing the knowledge it has acquired in the past.
The current war weapons draw on the fourth-level technology "Giant God Soldier" and the third-level technology "Source Fire Puppet", taking the essence and removing the dross, and can be regarded as the peak level of the fourth level!
If you want to reach level five, you have to incorporate space technology, which is simply impossible for humans today.
Of course, this achievement is also due to the large team of craftsmen in the city.
Since 20 points of divine attributes can unlock the certification of primary craftsmen, the number of human craftsmen has once again increased by an order of magnitude! You know, that's 10 times, and the significant reduction in labor costs can create so many magical weapons.
"It would be great if we had immortal-grade materials. We could even start a group cooperation project and build a large project." The ratman craftsman, Rat Gongye, was excitedly planning something. The more urgent equipment at the moment included the supermagnetic furnace, a device that could provide an extremely strong magnetic field; the antimatter reactor, which was used to produce antimatter, a weapon material with stronger destructive power; and the dark matter capture device, which was prohibited from research for unknown reasons...
Oh, and there is also the exotic matter force field collider - this is one of the key projects in studying the curvature engine.
In short, most projects are a combination of materialism and idealism. In fact, they are quite down-to-earth and consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
"Where do so many immortal-level materials come from..." Lu Yuan complained, "It's good enough to dig up epic-level materials."
"By the way, after returning to the alternate dimension, the craftsman team can go back to the North through the [Temple] to exchange ideas. It has been a while since we went back."
At this moment, Lu Yuan sensed the Immortal Palace vibrating and quickly transferred his consciousness to the Immortal Palace.
"Good morning, seniors."
"The [Monster] has sensed the spatial turbulence and is expected to have an opportunity to travel through space in the next year." The large crystal man said solemnly, "What...will you choose? Will you continue to stay near the ruins, or will you go out on your own?"
"We are on our way back to the alien space." Lu Yuan laughed.
"Did you foresee the coming of space turbulence?" The strangers were immediately confused. We just received this news.
"Because the incident here has ended, and we don't seem to have any destination to go to in Green City..."
Lu Yuan briefly described the small difficulties he encountered. Suddenly, the aliens became even more confused. Just because you lost your target, Pangu Continent will launch space turbulence. Who do you think you are... No, wait, Pangu Continent has already launched it? !
Gui Guzi couldn't help but frown: "You guys are so small, you may not be able to bear it."
"It may be a great fortune, but it may also be a disaster that is unbearable."
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: "It has been more than three hundred years since the last genocide of mankind."
"Since the battle with the snake-men [ghosts], we have not encountered any crisis."
He only said half of the sentence, but everyone present understood it and couldn't help but sigh.
"Since you are determined, we will not stop you." Gui Guzi said, "We two turtles cannot show up easily, how about we go to your Qiankun world and hide there?"
"no problem."
…
The voyage to Green City lasted for six months without any major incidents.
After returning to the alternate dimension, in order to prevent attacks from snake-men [ghosts], the citizens of the city entered the small cave as they had done in the past and fell into hibernation.
The team of craftsmen took the opportunity to return to the North and communicate for a while.
I met old friends from the dwarf tribe, as well as the one-eyed tribe and the long-haired tribe. We drank and talked about our experiences. It was such a pleasure to be together with so many friends.
"Oh, is this the new generation of robots you developed? It's too big!"
"Well, this was developed by referring to the robots of the fifth-level civilization."
At the military level, humans are still far ahead.
But in terms of scientific research, many races in the North have made more achievements than humans. In the past thirty years, they have actually created a brand new field called the "Dream Spirit Field."
Intelligent life in the field can greatly reduce the chance of having nightmares and slightly increase the speed at which their divine attributes rise.
Although the "Dream Spirit Field" cannot allow the divine attributes to break through the racial limits, its function of improving the divine attributes almost for free is definitely an outstanding achievement.
"This is at least an A-level scientific research result!"
As the leader of the Hall of Craftsmen, Lu Yuan highly praised the craftsmen who were responsible for the research and development, and even rewarded the civilization behind the craftsman with 500 spiritual charms!
For most civilizations, 500 spiritual charm is a very large number. It really shocked everyone.
Lu Yuan said affectionately in the hall: "My friends, it is indeed very hard for us to venture out in the outside world. The civilizations of Pangu Continent are very wary of each other. Even after decades of interaction, there is no way to let down our guard."
"For example, we have been near the ruins of a civilization for thirty years, but have never gone to the interior of another civilization's city for a deeper investigation."
"You can imagine how great this vigilance is."
"We in the North should cherish the peaceful time we have now... We were all weak civilizations in the past, and there may be wars between us, but we know each other well. This friendship that rises from weakness is precious."
In fact, the major civilizations in the North are also very curious about the outside world.
They can only know what is happening outside through human descriptions.
When people heard about the "fifth-level civilization ruins", they couldn't help but feel curious and yearning.
When Lu Yuan said, "The civilization outside is far inferior to us in the field of field industrialization. In the future, we will leave them far behind," they couldn't help but look at each other and smile knowingly.
Yes, "Field Industrialization" is the highest foundation of the North! With so many craftsmen united, as time goes by, they will leave other civilizations far behind!
Lu Yuan sighed and said to the five thousand craftsmen, "But no matter what, Pangu Continent is indeed a bigger world. We human civilization still have to venture over there and there is no way back."
"We will give you intelligence as a gift."
"But the development of the North should not be left behind. In order to meet the needs of various civilizations for resources and promote exchanges and development, our human civilization is willing to donate 2,000 units of anti-entropy elements, 200 high-level Zerg, 5,000 medium-level Zerg, and 100,000 fertile low-level Zerg."
"Part of these anti-entropy elements and materials produced by the Zerg will be donated to the Artisan University, and the rest will be donated to outstanding contributors!"
"This is all we can offer for now."
At this point, many civilization leaders were shocked.
The craftsmen also widened their eyes, their faces flushed, and they clapped loudly.
Anti-entropy elements are really good things, but the lack of anti-entropy elements is the biggest obstacle to creating a field.
The production materials of the Zerg Army are also extremely enviable.
For most civilizations, even ordinary or inferior insect shell materials are good things in an absolute sense, which is equivalent to having an extra piece of cake! For humans, these donations are completely acceptable.
The anti-entropy element is extracted from the "Fountain of Eternal Life" and costs almost nothing...
As for the Zerg Legion, low-level Zerg can actually reproduce in large numbers. Those donated are just the Zerg bred in the small cave.
What's more, Lu Yuan also wanted to confuse the public. Many high-level Zerg have entered the Qiankun World. Donating a batch of them now can explain the decreasing number.
On the contrary, the human craftsmen felt a little disappointed. They had always considered themselves leaders, but they didn't expect that after going out, a completely new field was invented in the North...
I was outdone in an instant!
For a moment, apart from clapping, everyone was speechless.
The scientists' faces turned red with anger, especially the young scientists of the new generation, who all felt angry.
This spirit may be more important than any wealth.
Lu Yuan naturally saw their expressions and thought to himself, "This may be the so-called competition. The civilization in the North knows each other well and is generally poor, but the competition is fierce, even affecting humans themselves."
"Whether it's for the position of leader or for dignity, competition is always a good thing!"
"Alas, I don't know when the people from Kame civilization will come."
"My resources alone cannot support hundreds or even thousands of civilizations."
