Chapter 706 Searching! Lu Yuan’s hometown!
Lu Yuan looked at the familiar production date on the plastic bottle, held his breath, and his pupils contracted: "Who discovered this?"
The old cat replied: "We were Zerg scouts deployed near the Kusi Desert. Other civilizations didn't take it seriously. Instead, our artificial intelligence discovered the corresponding details in the massive amount of information."
"But these bottles should have been left behind more than ten years ago. The Zerg warriors did not find the nearby city. We have no idea where they went."
Lu Yuan's heart started beating wildly.
This little bit of information is enough!
Because Lu Yuan himself can get the approximate location through dream induction, as long as he increases the number of investigators, he can easily find the human mother civilization! In anxiety and expectation, he couldn't help but wander around the room again and again.
It is obviously inappropriate to let humans send troops to search for it. Fortunately, he has a lot of Zerg troops in his hands. As long as the movement speed of the human mother civilization is not too fast, there should be no big problem.
"Master Lu, select some Zerg suitable for reconnaissance and go to the Kusi Desert. I have an important mission for you."
"Yes!" The king insects nodded respectfully and left with the mission.
When this day really comes, Lu Yuan can't help but feel a speechless emotion in his heart.
joy?
excited?
anxiety?
distressed?
He didn’t know…
Even though he had hope here and missed his hometown less and less, when he heard the news from there, his emotions were indeed complicated.
He was a little restless, and the stool was like a cactus, he sat down and stood up, stood up and sat down again.
I check the information from time to time and sigh from time to time.
The old cat used his usual sharp tongue: "If you find your hometown, take the conch with you and go out to have a look. Anyway, the craftsman competition will be held in three years. Just come back within three years."
"Haha, a craftsman without inspiration is no different from a pile of cat feces. Get out of here and don't get in the way."
"But, I just promised to communicate with the craftsmen, and now I'm just running away. Will it have a bad impact..." Lu Yuan touched the back of his head, trying to keep calm.
"Then you can bring some diplomats, craftsmen, and scientists with you, which is equivalent to civilized diplomacy. These experts can't afford to die, so you should be careful."
Lu Yuan became excited: "How could that be possible? You are looking down on me, the Greedy Demon God!"
Lao Mao thought about it and felt that this civilized diplomacy was quite important, no less important than any powerful civilization in the Ruins of Buzhou.
It lowered its head and analyzed, "The human mother civilization is also mentioned a lot in our textbooks. The two sides are very similar in culture. We also study the history of the Earth, World War I and World War II... Finding the human mother civilization is still one of our small goals."
"So you don't have to worry too much. This is what humans are supposed to do."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Although his comrade spoke sharply, he would occasionally show his gentle side.
It is this hard yet soft style that shapes the humanistic environment of the Green City so well.
Everyone pays attention to process and insists on procedural justice, but there is also humanistic care.
"My mother civilization, how should Yunhai City be arranged?" Lu Yuan asked again, "Although we are stronger, we can't take care of a population of 100 million."
"Just follow your idea and build a planetary engine in the North. Your relatives can come and live with you. There are only a few of them anyway. Yunhai City is autonomous, so we won't interfere with them."
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. The old cat was indeed more thoughtful than he was.
If his relatives continued to live in Yunhai City, no matter how Yunhai City took care of them, even if it provided the best living conditions, Lu Yuan would inevitably feel uncomfortable as long as there was a trace of inconsideration.
There is no perfect paradise in the world. How can there be a life without any grievances and everything goes smoothly? Even in Green City, there are inevitably some disputes and social corruption in daily communication.
"What's more, Yunhai City is not feudal. They enjoy privileges openly and there are many rumors."
But as long as he brings the person over, everything will be Lu Yuan's own business. Lu Yuan can treat his hometown with normal feelings and take care of it a little, but he doesn't need to worry too much.
"Building a planetary engine is a long-term project that must be done. A civilization that wants to develop must have a grand goal. Letting many civilizations in the North build it together will speed up their development..."
"It depends on whether they agree. If they don't agree, I won't force it."
…
Just like that, under the planning of Old Cat, the human government officially announced this sensational news.
As expected, the emergence of the human mother civilization triggered a wave of public opinion! All major media, websites, and self-media reported extensively.
"Great news! Zerg warriors have found traces of human civilization left on the edge of the Kushi Desert! The corresponding search is ongoing."
"Are they mining in the desert? When will they be able to contact each other?"
"Are they going to join the Buzhou Alliance?"
"My friends, please keep it a secret. If a civilization with malicious intent holds our mother civilization hostage to threaten us, it will not be a good thing."
"That's right. Everyone must only discuss this within Green City. Forget about communicating with the outside world."
There are all kinds of comments and buzz, but overall everyone is still looking forward to and excited about it.
In fact, the current 18 human civilizations have little to do with the mother civilization at the genetic level.
But... who cares about this!
Just like Genghis Khan is actually a descendant of Liu Bang at the genetic level.
But the Golden Family still considers themselves the Golden Family and refuses to admit that they are actually Han people.
Man is an animal suspended in a web of meaning woven by himself. Now the entire Green City feels that they are earthlings, and that is enough!
Amid this vigorous wave of public opinion, the number of people who wanted to sign up to participate in the search for the mother civilization began to soar, directly exceeding five million.
Lu Yuan was now a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected the matter to become so serious. He had thought that no one had any feelings for the Earth - perhaps the current education system was indeed too good.
He couldn't help but stand up and accept a TV interview.
The interview was conducted by the well-known news program "Green Interview".
"Hello, friends. This piece of information was found by the Zerg Legion, so the next exploration work will still be carried out by the Zerg Legion. The success rate is not 100%, because the world is too big, and some similar texts may be born. So we need to lower our expectations and not let irrational emotions occupy our minds."
"Besides, the development time of human civilization is 500 years less than ours, so it is normal for the two sides to have some development gaps."
“Maintaining necessary humility and caution is an important rule for us living in Pangaea.”
As the oldest elder, it is normal for Lu Yuan to lecture the younger ones.
"We will select suitable diplomatic teams for friendly diplomatic visits, including journalists, craftsmen, scientists, and practitioners from all walks of life. Those who are interested must register through their units. Private registration will not be accepted."
The female reporter from the TV station, with a smile on her face, handed over the microphone: "Commander-in-Chief, if you really find your hometown, how will you feel?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: "I feel more timid when I am close to home. I dare not ask the visitor. Maybe this is a true portrayal."
He did not show any special emotions and said in a normal tone: "In fact, the fact that you can understand this ancient poem is already a blessing from my hometown."
"Without our hometown, where would we get so much excellent culture? Perhaps even our language and writing are very poor. Don't think that reciting ancient poems is a physical job when you are young. Only when you get older will you understand that it is a very romantic thing to have some emotional resonance with people in history."
Lu Yuan is indeed a well-known craftsman. As we chatted, we even discussed the philosophy of life.
The reporter asked again: "Can you tell me about your hometown?"
"My hometown has such a thing as parents. My parents are the more qualified ones. They never treated me badly since I was a child, so I miss them. The grace of raising a child is always a great grace."
"I still miss my sister. When I left her, she was just about to take the college entrance examination. She was very cute and wanted to get gold coins every day."
"But has she become an old lady now? Has she gained weight in middle age?"
"Is it appropriate for you to say that about your sister?" The reporter couldn't help but laugh.
"I always have to consider the worst case scenario. This is called lowering expectations." Lu Yuan laughed, "I used to work in Yunhai City for a while. How are my former colleagues doing? Where do my former classmates work?"
"I know very little about these things. Sometimes when I think about them, I sigh at the impermanence of life."
Many people in front of the TV laughed.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and continued, "But then again, there are too many unqualified parents in the world, those who are divorced, busy with work, addicted to playing mahjong, or too controlling. Many people only care about playing with their phones when taking care of their children and don't even know that their children are lost."
"Qualified parents are actually a minority..."
"For children who have no ability to resist, this may be the first time in their lives that they have the small right to control the fate of others, which results in many children having unhealthy personalities."
"Poor academic performance or personality problems are largely due to family factors."
"So I deeply believe that our current cultural system is superior to our mother civilization. This is something we need to recognize."
"Establishing lofty ideals and finding your own hobbies are the teachings we have received since childhood. If that is not possible, as long as we do not do evil, that is our minimum bottom line."
The entire Green City fell into silence.
In fact, these things really need to be made clear in advance. The impact of culture and ideology is more worrying than the material level.
Even the reporter interviewing the reporter was stunned for a moment and moved the microphone slightly.
Lu Yuan added: "In short, these cultural phenomena and systems are actually common in the civilization of Buzhou Ruins. It's just that they can't let us conduct in-depth social investigations, but the human mother civilization should be willing to do so, which gives us a good opportunity to observe."
“I also hope that all sociologists can seize this opportunity. For example, the inheritance system and the marriage system, can new flowers bloom from the gradually disintegrating ruins?”
"There is no perfect system in the world. Entropy increase is eternal. How to innovate ourselves is also a long-term proposition for our Green City. Thank you everyone!!"
Lu Yuan walked off the stage and let out a sigh of relief.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
Conch moved the white hat and applauded while asking questions: "That's a very good point, but what does the disintegration of the marriage system mean? Is it encouraging sexual liberation?"
Lu Yuan said solemnly: "These are two different things."
"Whether it's here or in Yunhai City, the backward system will slowly disintegrate."
"It doesn't matter here. Young people don't have children even if they get married. All property is shared equally. Women are not required to give birth, and men and women have equal employment opportunities. It is said that the marriage rate in Yunhai City has fallen below 20%... and it will continue to decline. In the Earth era, the marriage rate in European and American countries dropped to 3%. The citizens of Yunhai City are also human beings, so they cannot escape the law of cycles."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." He shook his head. No matter how powerful the Demon of Greed was, he could not solve this kind of cultural phenomenon.
"Let's start screening diplomatic candidates!"
After the interview, the number of applicants this time was simply huge! However, the number of participants should not be too large, and the craftsmen must be brought along. It is considered a collective exchange activity, and the beautiful name is "increasing experience and enriching inspiration"! At least 300 people participated.
The rest of the scientists, engineers, journalists, etc., add up to 500 to 700 people.
“Plus some outstanding student representatives.”
"Oh, yes, we have to filter by age group. We have to have some for every age group."
Even if the two of them had legendary brain capacities, they would still be dumbfounded when faced with 10 million resumes. They would be so busy that they would vomit blood but still couldn't finish reading them!
In the end, it was with the help of the artificial intelligence developed by Professor Hai Zhiyun that a relatively reasonable list was screened out.
"Artificial intelligence in this era is smarter than humans." Lu Yuan sighed.
What innate myth? That computing power is nothing compared to computers.
"That's not entirely true... Human power is still useful."
"Just like our robot teacher, it has only developed after generations of iterations." Professor Hai Zhiyun smiled, "These iterations can only be completed by humans."
He paused as if he was about to say something: "Commander Lu, we also bought the technology of the robot teacher from the Lanpeng civilization, and then continuously improved it. Now we are giving it to your mother civilization as a gift. I don't think the upper parliament will object."
"The key is not the robot teacher." Lu Yuan shook his head, "but the interest relationship. Whether it is a robot teacher or an artificial womb, it is difficult to promote it on the human side."
"Forget it, let's each take care of our own business. Don't think we are always on the right path. It's not a good thing to be a teacher."
Lu Yuan was not going to interfere with the evolution of human civilization. As long as it didn't become extinct, there wouldn't be any big problems.
It was during this period of resume screening that the military also prepared the transport spacecraft.
There is no need to send an aerospace carrier. That huge vessel is not suitable. It is impossible to directly send a large army to the border to establish diplomatic relations.
People are planning to send out a "Green Knight"! This is a recently produced ceremonial ship with considerable combat power.
The interior also uses a "cave in a pot". The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, and the warehouse can accommodate medium-sized power armor and small spaceships.
If he encounters some crisis, he can get through it safely with his extraordinary combat power.
The cost of building the "Green Knight" is astonishing, almost the same as that of an aerospace carrier, nearly one thousand spiritual charms, which is almost one-fifth of Green City's annual fiscal revenue.
After hearing the price, Lu Yuan remained silent.
Think about it, one-fifth of the fiscal revenue is used to build a "guard of honor", what is the difference between this and Empress Dowager Cixi rebuilding the Old Summer Palace? In the past, he would never have agreed to build this thing.
However, considering the current busy diplomatic affairs, face is equivalent to the substance, and the things have already been made, so we have to accept it with a pinch of our nose.
"Don't complain. The Green Knight uses space technology unprecedentedly. Its mass is only 22,000 tons. Its atmospheric flight speed is twice that of traditional spacecraft, reaching 400 kilometers per hour. This speed is not easy for a behemoth of this level."
"In the past, this would have been impossible to achieve!"
The old cat explained: "We have to build experimental-grade ships before we can build larger types! This is not corruption."
"Okay, okay, this spaceship has to have some flaws, right?" Lu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to argue.
"The Cave in the Pot brings a larger internal volume, but it also brings disadvantages. First of all, the volume of space in the Cave in the Pot is still not ideal. It is only one million cubic meters at present. If it is larger, it will lose stability."
"Secondly, the 'entrance and exit' are extremely restricted. There is a critical plane between the real world and the alien space. Crossing this plane will bring instability to the space."
"So this entrance and exit should not be made too large. Currently, it can only be 5 meters in diameter. Large armored vehicles cannot enter or exit."
Lu Yuan nodded. His ability "Alternative Space" also had this flaw. Once matter entered or exited, it would explode. Speaking of which, this human cave in the pot was slightly optimized and should be more similar to the "Mirage Space" of the Little Mirage Dragon.
A few days later, good news came again.
The Zerg Legion has really discovered the location of the human base camp! This time, Lu Yuan sent the elite Zerg from the small world. They are intelligent and report very sufficient information.
"King, we have discovered a city cluster formed by several civilizations, hidden in a basin. The city is surrounded by yellow sand and white fog, and it is impossible to see directly inside."
"We also observed drones and surveillance equipment, and even infrared surveillance facilities underground. The control is strict, and it is difficult to go deeper without causing conflicts..."
