Chapter 691 Comrade, are you greedy...
"Swoosh!" The flying dragon passed through this layer of "water waves" and entered the small world.
What a big world!
Lu Yuan saw a vast loess plateau floating quietly in the void.
The ravines are crisscrossed like the blood vessels of the earth, and the deep and shallow wrinkles hide the wind and frost of war. The starlight in the void shines obliquely, the edges and corners of the earth plateau are plated with silver edges, and the curves of the terraces are layered like waves. Occasionally, the lights of engineering robots are dotted in between, small but tenacious.
As an ancient clan, the Nielong clan should have lived in a small world that was very rich, but in reality it was not.
Lu Yuan looked closely and could faintly see hydrogen bomb craters caused by the war.
In fact, the power of a hydrogen bomb is not as great as imagined. A hydrogen bomb with a equivalent of one million tons can only create a crater with a diameter of 300-500 meters.
Most of the flowers, plants and trees in the small world were plundered and became spoils of war.
Only the World Tree in the center of the Loess Plateau is still intact - it's not that these civilizations don't want to plunder the World Tree, but it has the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, and it hides itself as soon as a war breaks out in the small world.
"Has the World Tree grown up in your Qiankun Continent?"
"Guess..." Lu Yuan smiled proudly, "Ahem, my world tree has a total of 24 trees, 12 of which have already formed their own worlds, but the size is still not comparable to the complete one in front of me."
This world tree is not tall, about six hundred meters in height, and looks a bit miniature among the world trees.
But its root system is extremely developed, and the thick roots are strong and firm, like a clenched hand, deeply rooted in the center of the earth. The lateral roots are slender and flexible, like countless exploring tentacles, penetrating into every corner of the Loess Plateau, covering millions of kilometers in radius! The World Tree is such a magical species, and each World Tree has a different shape. Some are towering into the clouds, trying to compete with the sky; some have a well-developed root system; and some are simply ordinary coral trees, but they can form a water world.
Lu Yuan placed his hand on his forehead, his eyes flashing red.
"Why is it more desolate than I imagined... You have been cultivating it for two years, right? Even if it was ravaged by war, there should be seeds in the soil and small animals left in the caves."
"The richness of this small world is not as great as that of the outside world."
Hailuo made a bitter face: "There are indeed some seeds, but the actual situation is just the opposite. Most of the rare plants in this small world need the nourishment of ancient blood."
Once the bloodline is missing, the rare plants will grow slowly and may even wither.
"Is that so..." Lu Yuan touched his chin.
Bloodline technology is indeed unique. This continent has been managed by the evil dragon clan for thousands of years, and every inch of soil is soaked in blood. Now that dynasties have changed, these bloodlines have slowly lost their effect.
"You didn't leave any survivors? Bleed them every day?"
The conch said, "Alas, many civilizations suffered heavy losses in the war, and some even lost more than half of their population. The hatred between the two sides is too deep, and there is no middle ground."
"I see..." Lu Yuan nodded. For the stability of the "Buzhou Alliance", he had no choice but to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely.
"However, we did retain some reproductive cells and living cells." Hai Luo added, "It's just that there is no need to use cloning technology for the time being."
In fact, the small worlds of the five major races have more or less similar defects.
This is also the main reason why ancient races raised large numbers of slaves and converted to civilization. These low-level populations were like worker ants, using their own blood to nourish animals and plants.
And these rare creatures are enjoyed by the higher-class population, which is indeed a perfect caste cycle.
Due to the huge difficulties on the technical level, the bidding prices of the small worlds of the five major races are not high. Instead, the bidding prices of the other twenty or so small worlds without innate myths are higher.
But no matter what, humans have paid a considerable cost, so we must manage it well.
"Roar!" The flying dragon flapped its wings, gradually approached the ground, and landed in a small city.
The city is called "Green City" and has a floating population of about 200,000.
In just a few years, the small city has built a considerable amount of infrastructure, and tall buildings have sprung up.
A large number of laboratories are also under construction.
Even in the middle of the night, scientists and craftsmen are still working overtime. Humanity wants to develop a field that can simulate blood vessels and restore the growth of animals and plants as soon as possible.
"Commander-in-chief, are you healthy again?!" Lu Tiantian and other senior leaders were shocked when they saw Lu Yuan, and then asked with concern, "You don't look well."
During the five years that Lu Yuan fell into a deep sleep, the human government had always announced that he was receiving treatment in the ICU of a hospital.
But there were also some rumors that no hospital was willing to treat Lu Yuan...
Thinking of the tragic world war in the ruins of Buzhou, everyone inevitably had some bad associations in their minds - "Has the commander-in-chief been killed by those innate myths?" But at this moment, Lu Yuan reappeared without any missing limbs. Not only these experts and scholars, but even the security personnel on duty couldn't help but feel excited. Some younger soldiers even couldn't help but touch their eye sockets.
"Hello everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time... I just woke up from a coma."
"After staying in the hospital for a long time, your complexion does look a little bad. However, as long as you are alive, everyone is still alive. Haha!" Lu Yuan greeted them.
"Yeah... it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
"You look bad because your soul has been damaged, but it's not a big problem." Lu Yuan patted Lu Tiantian on the shoulder and shook hands with the craftsmen who had hurried over.
Seeing their smiles and tears, I couldn't help but feel a subtle touch of emotion in my heart.
Perhaps, a big reason for my struggle is for the sake of human civilization and to win a better future.
If a person lives just to have enough food and clothing, it is too superficial. He should find a suitable goal in life, strive for it all his life, and become a "great god" in a small field, even a great god in the field of games - it would be great if the whole society could achieve this goal.
When Lu Yuan had this thought, he couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being a little naive. He had a clear feeling of ignorance that came from not having experienced society.
However, seeing these warm smiles, the "heart of the strong" that he had comprehended seemed to be beating "boom boom".
The world's idealists often appear at the bottom as well as at the top.
They appear at the bottom because they can't get any worse and have nothing to lose, so they have enough motivation to change something.
They appear at the top because they have the ability to change the world.
As for what the cost of change will be, that is another matter.
Lu Tiantian patted his head: "Soul damage... Our biotechnology is quite good at treating this kind of thing. Do you need to provide some treatment services?"
"No need... I have basically solved this problem." Lu Yuan waved his hand and smiled, "How are the recent results?"
"You mean, running a small world? It's harder than imagined, but we have confidence!"
Lu Tiantian took him to visit the recently established laboratory.
In the soilless culture dishes, there were bunches of red plants that looked like corn. Even their leaves were red, looking like maple leaves.
"Long Pu Mi, a low-level extraordinary consumption."
"The yield is relatively large, and it is the main food of the evil dragon clan. It can now be reproduced in small batches."
"It's a pity that we don't have much blood of the evil dragon clan. Currently we can only extract some from the corpses and then conduct a small amount of experiments."
“Is there any way to improve it?”
"Yes, there is... The first is to study the bloodline-related fields, but that requires a flash of inspiration from the craftsmen. It's hard to say when they will succeed."
"Now, we use the Zerg's ability to absorb blood to breed some special bugs, the 'Longba Bug'. We already have preliminary samples. It's just that bugs with high-concentration blood require time to cultivate generation after generation."
"You guys are really good at using Zerg."
"Haha, thanks to the Ancient Worm, they brought a lot of rare samples. In fact, we also thought about using 3D organ cloning to reproduce bloodlines in large quantities, but we found that without souls, the bloodline will gradually deteriorate."
"Pangu Continent is an idealistic world, so souls still need to participate in it in order to make use of certain idealistic rules."
In fact, there is another method: cloning ancient bloodlines, but this is equally difficult. On the one hand, ancient bloodlines are rejected by the Pangu Continent; on the other hand, even if they are cloned, drawing blood every day to become blood slaves goes against the ethical environment, so the government does not adopt this method.
"Anyway, there are other ways..."
Human scientists have calculated that if all goes well in the future, the entire small world will be able to produce six million tons of Longpu rice a year.
However, with more than 10 million humans, plus various birds and beasts, and experimental consumption, they can only consume half of the amount at most.
"The remaining ones may not be easy to sell. This thing seems to have many substitutes..." Lu Yuan picked up a grain of "Longpu Rice" and tasted it. It tasted a bit like soybeans.
A tiny warm current originates from the body and flows through the limbs along the blood vessels.
The eternal fire jumped and absorbed this tiny warm current.
"It's not easy to sell. There's almost no premium in the market... maybe 1 Lingyun can buy 100 to 200 tons."
This is the most basic extraordinary consumable, and it is indeed priced at this price. If you want to make money, you can only go for volume.
"Its characteristic is that its output is large enough. So we plan to store several million tons, and then convert the rest into spiritual charm. Three million tons of Longpu rice can convert about 15,000 spiritual charms. Taking into account the rent of the small world and the cost of manpower and material resources, we can make a net profit of more than 10,000."
"Hiss..." Lu Yuan took a breath of cold air.
Ten thousand spiritual melody per year is really a terrifying number!
Even Old Lu was a little tempted!
What's more, this is just the output brought by Longpu rice.
The small world can also produce something even more valuable—an extraordinary plant called the Dragon Crystal Tree! This plant looks very strange, like a combination of crystal and coconut tree, and its fruit is hard, like crystal balls the size of balloons.
It is actually a natural crystal and an important raw material for the "Improved Ark Shield".
"The shield made of this material has a radiation protection and heat insulation capacity increased by more than 50%. Even if it is attacked by a hydrogen bomb, this shield can withstand damage for several seconds."
"This type of crystal is in high demand in the market, but the output of the dragon crystal tree is also very low. We are in short supply... It is unlikely to make money in the future."
What's more, there is the even more valuable "Fallen Blood Wood".
The bark can be processed to achieve A-level idealistic protection. If it is a century-old tree, it can reach S-level! This thing is very powerful. The importance of idealistic protection has been tested many times in war.
If the protection is not good enough, no matter how high the technological strength is, all weapons will be broken once there is interference.
Therefore, the output of "Fallen Bloodwood" is expected to be in short supply in the next 500 or even 1,000 years! This is a really big pie, even if the current "Fallen Bloodwood" is just a few sparse saplings.
"If we can fully develop this small world... we estimate that we can produce 100,000 spiritual rhymes a year... but this is difficult and requires a huge investment of manpower and material resources, as well as hundreds of years of development."
"It's great to run a small world." Lu Yuan became more and more jealous. He felt sour in his heart when he thought that the wealth of human beings would far surpass his own in the future.
This is also the main reason why the more advanced the civilization, the less lack of spiritual charm...
As long as they farm at home, advanced civilizations are basically self-sufficient.
The Kamehameha can even take out 5 million spiritual energy at once!
But Old Lu, with an empty wallet, was still worried about Lingyun's freedom.
It seemed that Hai Luo saw that the Greedy Demon God was beginning to be greedy. With a pair of big curved eyes, she could not help but tiptoe and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear: "Don't you have a real world? That world also has the World Tree and various ancient bloodlines."
"How about I help you farm? Among the abilities of [Spiritual Words], there is a type that specializes in farming."
Lu Yuan was speechless. You want to cultivate the world's fields by yourself? Even if you are a reincarnated mule, you will die of exhaustion.
However, he had to think of a way to free his spiritual energy.
After a shocking battle, he consumed a lot of energy. He still had a lot of civilization points, but he had very little spiritual energy left.
But taking it directly from humans is not his style. The Greedy Demon needs to cut ties with humans, so he still has to think of a way to open source it himself.
"Without spiritual charm, we can only consume civilization points, which is too uneconomical... We really need to find people to farm. I wonder if the Zerg Army has the type of people who can farm."
He asked, "Ahem... Lu Tiantian, when will the plants in the laboratory be produced in large quantities? Can you give me some?"
"Haha, of course, no problem. In fact, a single plant is not valuable, but the cultivation method is more valuable... Alas, the cost is high now, and it is a headache for us."
Just like that, Lu Yuan took the girl on a tour around the laboratory, and then rode on a flying dragon to fly freely in the desolate little world.
To become a level five civilization, you must have enough wealth.
And this small world is the foundation and basis for the future development of mankind.
Therefore, the Green City also erupted with great enthusiasm!
Engineering teams are working late into the night, with countless robots busy, some repairing roads, others repairing bridges. The rumbling sound is deafening, and steel and cement are not simply produced in the factory.
Human beings have contracted this small world for two hundred years, and these are necessary long-term investments.
"During the first small world bidding, the major civilizations were a little cautious. They were all afraid of losing money, so most of them cooperated in bidding. Several civilizations shared a small world and paid rent according to the share system."
"We humans are the only ones who are rich enough to occupy one all by ourselves." The conch smiled on her pretty face, "And we have the priority to bid, so we can continue to renew the lease later."
"It's better to occupy it alone." Lu Yuan was unhappy, "You can make a fortune quietly and reduce trouble."
"Why do you look unhappy?"
Suddenly, Lu Yuan almost cried. He sobbed twice and said loudly: "I have no money, my wife, no money! I can't find another opportunity. I am so greedy."
"Be good, don't worry. When you are really destitute, humans will support you."
Lu Yuan took the opportunity to bury his head in her chest: "How can you eat the child's money?"
Just then, a light was heard in the distance, followed by the roar of a jet engine.
"boom!"
"Hey, comrade, are you awake? I missed you so much after not seeing you for a long time! Why didn't you notify me when you woke up?" The old cat's voice came from afar.
"I want to spend some time together, is that not possible?"
"How about the small world I contracted despite all the opposition?"
"Very good, you have a very good taste."
The man and the cat hugged each other affectionately.
Lu Yuan said affectionately: "I almost thought I was dead!"
"Me too... Humanity was almost wiped out..." The old cat was so excited that his old illness came back and he started twitching wildly.
"Hey, those damn ones... I beat them all to death."
"We also wiped out all those damned ones."
Lu Yuan was stroking the big yellow cat.
The conch standing aside couldn't help but feel disgusted by their performance.
Sure enough, not long after the excitement, the old cat uttered the classic line: "I have been thinking about one question...what are you greedy for..."
Lu Yuan looked at it in silence. Can you please stop doing this? I've been in a coma for five years. As soon as I woke up, you were thinking about my wealth? Do you still want the friendship between comrades?
"After a war, humans have become a civilization with a net worth of one million spiritual charms." The old cat changed the subject. "In the past few years, we have invested in small worlds and have some deficits, but in the future, the annual fiscal revenue will exceed 10,000 spiritual charms. There is a large fiscal surplus, and there is money but nowhere to spend it. Alas, the treasury is full, and we have to build a new treasury."
Lu Yuan beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling as if he had lost his wallet.
So envious, jealous and hateful!
