Chapter 705 News about the Mother Civilization of Humankind
Lu Yuan found that Hai Luo dared to look down on him, and he couldn't help but reach out and pull her pretty face.
"Hey, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
"If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will think I am a sick cat." Old Lu let out an evil roar from his throat.
But deep down in his heart, Lu Yuan himself was secretly a little anxious. No amount of words could change the reality. It would be better to concentrate on researching and producing results - the industrialization of mythology!
The first big question is where did the quality of the innate myth go.
It is 500 meters tall and weighs tens of millions of tons, like a mountain.
In his current state, he weighs about 100 kilograms, which is a little heavier than a normal person.
Mass is a very important physical concept in materialism and it is impossible for it to disappear for no reason.
“Where has the quality gone?”
Returning to the green mountain, Lu Yuan began to conduct continuous "expansion" and "shrinkage" experiments.
When it expanded to a height of 10 meters, his weight expanded to 20 tons. With one footstep, a shallow pit was trampled out on the soft dirt road.
In normal state, with a height of 1.8 meters, his strength is actually only about twice that of an ordinary level 7 master.
"In the shrunk state, the blood power is transformed into a crystal-like high-density energy substance. This substance is distributed near the heart and brain, and the soul is also highly compressed. Therefore, the combat power of this form is far inferior to that of the normal form."
"But a small body size also has some advantages. Food consumption will be greatly reduced, and you don't have to eat tens of thousands of tons of food every day."
"And it's easier to do some fine trades. Fingers the size of a house can't do needlework... Only then can we read newspapers, watch TV, and play games like we do now."
“Can this method of highly compressing quality be applied to other fields?”
"Hmm... a high-energy battery based on mythical blood?"
This is the first research point discovered by Lu Yuan.
With this question in mind, Lu Yuan visited the scientists of the "Bloodline Laboratory" and several master craftsmen of the Hall of Craftsmen.
"Commander-in-chief, have you finally figured out the idea of industrializing mythology?!" Li Datie, the iron craftsman, was extremely excited. "The slander from the outside world is really endless. We are too lazy to defend ourselves now. We are just waiting for you to come out and give them a slap in the face!"
In the eyes of human craftsmen, Lu Yuan was just holding back on his big move.
As a craftsman, it is normal to have no inspiration, and it is also normal to spend more than ten years brewing.
"If you are not envied, you are mediocre. Don't worry about it." Lu Yuan waved his hand, "I am indeed planning to participate in the next Supreme Craftsman Competition."
Everyone was in high spirits, and even the younger generation of craftsmen came over and said, "Commander-in-chief, you haven't made a move in a long time! What are you going to do?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be so excited. You're putting a lot of pressure on me!"
Everyone laughed.
"Our opponent has a Grand Master Craftsman. We cannot let our guard down."
“First of all, is there a market prospect for highly compressed energy storage batteries?”
“What’s the energy density?”
“It could be comparable to nuclear fusion energy, but smaller and more powerful.”
Li Datie replied: "The future is certainly very bright. The batteries in our current small power armor are nuclear fission batteries. If they explode, they will produce nuclear pollution. In the event of a crash, the driver's chance of survival is almost zero."
"Only large armor can fit a nuclear fusion engine. This thing is very large, and once it starts, it cannot be stopped. The maintenance cost is also relatively high."
"Ordinary cars can only use lithium batteries, which are low in cost but low in energy density."
"If it is possible to store energy with higher power, more safety and lower cost, it will naturally have a wide range of uses. Who doesn't like to have a better battery? Even if you use it in a mobile phone, you can charge it once a year."
Lu Yuan nodded: "So, have you studied the energy substances in the bodies of ancient races? Those are considered naturally occurring batteries."
"Commander-in-Chief, we know the thing you are talking about." Professor Lu Tiantian, who came from the laboratory, said, "We have also studied the corpses of those acquired myths and named those high-energy substances 'blood crystals'. This thing needs the power of blood to activate. Once it leaves the body, it will quickly lose its vitality and dissipate into the world."
As he spoke, he retrieved the relevant information from his laptop.
Lu Yuan flipped through the documents. His reading speed was amazing. He memorized a large amount of densely packed data at a glance and finished reading hundreds of pages of documents in less than 10 minutes.
This quantum speed-reading-like method left scientists and craftsmen looking at each other in bewilderment.
"I almost understand. This blood crystal relies on the underlying rules of Pangu Continent, which is equivalent to a naturally existing storage space. The power of blood is like a key, responsible for opening these safes."
"Once the key is lost, the storage space can no longer be opened, which is equivalent to this part of the energy being swallowed by Pangu Continent."
"That's right." Lu Tiantian nodded, "And the research on bloodline power is too difficult. It is the bottom layer of the idealistic mechanism, so the combination lock is almost impossible to crack."
“Are there many bodies in the myth of the day after tomorrow?”
"More than twenty ancient civilizations, and a conservative estimate is that five or six hundred acquired myths died in the war. Each civilization more or less lost arms, thighs, and other limbs."
"However, the utilization rate is generally low. We can only extract the blood to cultivate plants, which is a bit wasteful."
"They actually created so many acquired myths?" Lu Yuan was surprised. Five or six hundred, how many civilizations would have to be sacrificed? This shows the cruelty of the First Era.
"Yes, no wonder these ancient civilizations are so eager to recreate the rules of blood sacrifice."
"Take me to see those bodies."
Soon, a group of people came to the large cold storage next to the laboratory. Even through a thick metal door, they could still feel the chill. This chill was not just physical, it seemed to freeze even the soul.
A pile of bloody body parts were placed in a large cold storage.
The "Buzhou Alliance" was very generous and donated a kind of paint made of weaver's mucus, but only a thin layer of less than 0.01 mm was applied in order to preserve the blood power in the corpse for a long time.
Lu Yuan let out a light sigh and stepped in. He looked at the head in front of him, which was about 10 meters in diameter. The three eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he would die like this.
In addition, there are also a heart, a thigh, and some scraps such as hair.
The spoils in the hands of humans were quite rich, because the heads and hearts contained the largest amount of "blood crystals".
"If a race only has a strong body and a smart mind but cannot keep up with the development of the times, even the most powerful race will disappear in the long river of history." Lu Yuan sighed.
Lu Tiantian explained: "These acquired myths rely on blood sacrifices to maintain their combat effectiveness. Once the blood sacrifices are gone, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the innate myths. A salvo of electromagnetic cannons can kill them."
Craftsman Li Datie rubbed his hands and said, "They are indeed very large, no wonder every civilization would give them a little bit of meat. However, it is really difficult to use the power of blood."
"Alas, the Alliance is a large enterprise, and it has worked hard to maintain its current size." Lu Tiantian said, "Sometimes we can understand those council members. From a fairness perspective, they are blameless, but there are still many civilizations that are dissatisfied. Who doesn't want to get a bigger share of the property?"
"If you are not satisfied, just quit the alliance." Lu Yuan sneered, "Who begged them to stay here?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's study the so-called 'blood crystal'."
The researchers turned on a large machine, and something like a thin wire slowly emerged. It was obviously thinner than a wire, but more flexible than a human finger.
He drilled in through a big hole in the corpse's head.
There was a camera and a light at the front end of the thin wire, and the white brain matter inside was frozen into a hard solid.
"These brains are actually quite useful. They can be processed into nutrient solution for plant growth." Lu Tiantian said, "It's just that we are reluctant to use them normally."
If you follow the blood vessels toward the brain stem, you will be able to see crystal clear "blood crystals".
Each one is about the size of a sesame seed and looks ordinary.
There are quite a lot of them, perhaps tens of thousands.
"Once these blood crystals are taken off, they will quickly dissipate. They can only be preserved for about half an hour."
"Pick one and show it to me." Lu Yuan frowned slightly, "I also have the Weaver's mucus here, which can be preserved for a long time."
"no problem."
The thin wire emitted a high-energy laser, and suddenly, the blood crystal fell down.
He then stretched out a pair of tweezers, grasped it accurately, and carried out the body.
Lu Yuan picked up the blood crystal, studied it carefully, and even sniffed it. There was indeed a scent of blood power.
But everyone's blood power is different, and he really has no way to crack the key. He can only take a small amount of Weaver's Mucus, wrap it up, and study it slowly later.
I thought to myself: "Interesting... But even if I create a high-energy battery similar to blood crystal, can it shock the world?"
Difficult! Ranking in the top three is not a problem.
To rank first, it depends on the strength of the competitors.
Once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. Lu Yuan just wanted to take first place without any suspense, otherwise it would be too much of a lowering of his own status.
"Supreme Craftsman Competition, do you have any good ideas?"
"Commander-in-Chief, we have good ideas, but we are actually unwilling to hand over the most core technology."
“The first place really depends on the strength of the competitors.”
Li Datie rubbed his rough hands and said, "The Alliance allows 10% of the core technology to be kept secret during the competition, but 10% is still too little. If it involves civilization secrets, we definitely cannot hand it over."
That's true. Things like [Blood Vampire Bomb] and [Distortion Bomb] involve the research on [Ghost]-level anomalies and have incredible value.
There is also the [Spiritual Words of the Light Curtain], which is the highest warfare foundation of mankind.
Especially after becoming a level five civilization, material technology has also been improved, and the power of [Vampire Bomb] and [Distortion Bomb] has also increased accordingly.
And now that the conch has become an innate myth, it is fully capable of controlling [Demon·Painted Skin], and the strength of [Light Curtain Spirit Words] will continue to rise.
Even Conch's own [Spiritual Language] ability has improved significantly.
"So we can only create some civilian tools and master the 10% of core technologies. If other civilizations are jealous, they will buy from us. Then we will sell them inferior technologies, and usually the price is calculated by civilization points."
Lu Yuan understood. This was just like the sale of fighter jets on Earth. The ones sold were definitely inferior to the ones he used. Even if the secrets were leaked, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Send me the project report and I will study it carefully in the next three years."
"clear!"
In the following time, in addition to teaching the children as usual, Lu Yuan often discussed with the craftsmen and went to the university at night to study the latest materialistic courses, including the newly-released space theory.
Working 24 hours a day! On the human side, more and more craftsmen heard that the next event would be led by Lu Yuan himself, and their expectations were growing.
Because Commander Lu has been in seclusion for a long time, there are many rumors in the outside world, and everyone is holding their breath! In addition, Lu Yuan did not participate in many group projects in the past, not only because Commander Lu was too busy, but also because of the guiding ideology of "self-reliance".
“…You can’t expect to rely on me for everything! The development of human civilization requires the joint efforts of everyone! In the future, if there are any competitions or exchange meetings, you can organize and participate by yourselves. You don’t have to ask me to take you to participate. Human civilization must be independent and build a first-class team of craftsmen!” - These were Lu Yuan’s original words three hundred years ago.
But this time, Commander Lu led the team personally, and it would be too much if he didn't take first place! Therefore, heavy pressure accumulated on Lu Yuan's shoulders.
It made him lose his appetite, not want to eat, and unable to sleep at night.
"I really committed a crime of cheapness. Why did I want to be in the limelight in the first place?"
Lu Yuan began to doubt his life. Looking at the mountains and seas of information, he realized that there was no shortage of experts in the human community, but these plans were still too far from "mythical industrialization."
He himself had no inspiration.
There really is not a single drop left! Craftsmen need life experience and opportunities to generate inspiration. He just experienced a great inspiration and has been dormant for more than ten years. Now he really can't even fart.
So he could only settle for the next best thing and pursue some small inspiration - that is, the "crash artist" that he hadn't used for a long time! But he soon found that this method didn't work, because his wife was now a strong person at the innate myth level, and her attraction was like a high-intensity magnet. After just a few divine skills on him, Lu Yuan lost his mind and showed the same evil and crazy expression as Lao Lang...
When he came to his senses, he found that he had fallen into sage mode and all his energy had been drained.
"It's over. The contest between spear and shield was balanced at the beginning, but now the spear is far stronger than the shield, and my willpower can't stand a single blow!" Lu Yuan sighed to the sky.
Of course, there are other ways, such as the legendary "Inspiration Mushrooms", which are produced in underground fissures.
With the innate mythical resistance, one can completely resist the side effects.
There is also the innate plant "Enlightenment Tree", which is a complete superior substitute for the "Inspiration Mushroom" and can burst out higher-level inspiration.
However, Lu Yuan did not use them rashly.
"In the final analysis, it's because I haven't had enough experience recently." Lu Yuan sat in his office and analyzed the current predicament. "I'm obsessed with reproduction and can't extricate myself. It's like marrying a new wife. I can't stop at all."
The old cat sat opposite him and sent a lot of information: "Then use reproduction as inspiration."
"That won't work. If that happens, the whole world will know that I, Old Lu, am a pervert..."
"Haha," the old cat had no sympathy and put some pressure on Lu Yuan, "The first big event is the fourth Supreme Craftsman Competition. The civilizations of the North and the Iron Key Clan will also participate. It is an unprecedented event."
"Oh, the Northern team."
"You know the team in the North. The craftsmen there are no less powerful than the Buzhou Alliance. Now their material skills are also developing rapidly and are slowly catching up."
The North has the special support of the Kame civilization, and with humans continuously transmitting equipment to the rear to build branch bases, the materialistic strength is indeed being greatly enhanced.
"The Iron Key Clan also has a Level 4 civilization. They didn't participate in the past few years. They must have been holding back a big wave..."
"This time the rewards are even more generous than in previous sessions. The top ten will all receive immortal materials."
Lu Yuan doesn't care much about the reward. Instead, his strong competitors give him more motivation.
"The second major event is that Taduo and his men have returned home. The city of the Rize civilization happened to be parked within 300,000 kilometers of the space tunnel. We dispatched an army to take them home."
"Their city is not too far from the base camp of the Iron Key civilization. They should be able to join the civilization community over there."
Lu Yuan nodded. He still had a good impression of the lizard people. It was a reasonable arrangement to let them return home safely.
"There is also a third major event." The old cat paused. "At the end of the space tunnel, near the Kusi Desert, we found some suspicious man-made residues, such as cans, mineral water bottles, etc. They are relatively new and should have been left behind in recent years."
"There are a lot of these things in Pangu Continent, right?" Lu Yuan was speechless. There were so many civilizations that littered.
The Alliance has recently been holding parliaments for environmental protection. Some civilizations, in order to save industrial costs, directly discharge pollution into the river. As a result, the downstream civilizations are not happy. What should I do if you pollute all the water? The water resources of the entire Buzhou ruins are limited!
This incident has caused a lot of controversy, and the alliance is urgently formulating laws to regulate environmental protection.
You must know that the Buzhou Alliance has military force in its hands. [Flame Demon], [Ancient Insect] and other strange phenomena are part of its military force, but promoting the cause of environmental protection still requires a lot of time and energy.
Therefore, domestic waste can be found everywhere in Pangaea.
"Look carefully at this mineral water bottle." Old Cat's tone was a little subtle.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and found that the bottle looked a bit like the Nongfu Spring bottle. The label had disappeared, but there was a line of laser-printed production date on the bottleneck.
He was puzzled at first. What could be seen from a transparent plastic bottle? But gradually, his breathing became heavy, because the production date on this line was actually in Arabic numerals!
