Chapter 710: Probably Ten Times More Powerful
Seeing his family members' hesitant expressions, Lu Yuan patted his chest and said, "Your son is still somewhat capable and wants to arrange a better place for the Human Alliance. You don't have to worry about Yunhai City after you move there. The place I arranged for you is much better than this damn place."
Lu Qingqing was actually a little unconvinced by Lu Yuan's statement.
How many people does Green City have? How much stronger can it be than our Human Alliance?!
"It may be more than ten times stronger." Lu Yuan said mysteriously.
"Is this true?" Even the parents didn't quite believe it and raised their voices.
What does it mean to be ten times more powerful?
If the overall GDP is 10 times stronger, wouldn’t the per capita GDP be 100 times stronger?
What level of civilization is this? !
"A level five expert like Lu Qingqing might be worth several million in Green City. I'm not lying to you."
"You have developed 500 years longer than us. Isn't it normal that you have more experts?" Lu Qingqing said confidently, with her hands on her hips. "We are now digging for ruins. They are at least the ruins of the peak of the third or even fourth level civilization. We will also usher in an era of rapid development!"
Lu Yuan was silent. Even from the perspective of Green City, the value of the third-level civilization ruins was quite good, and he would definitely dig them if he encountered them.
And he didn't want to destroy the Human Alliance's self-confidence.
After all, every civilization started out as a weak nation, so this spirit and self-confidence are very important.
So he changed his words: "Can the ruins be excavated forever? A few decades at most. Once they are all excavated, we will disband. The relationship between you civilizations will not be good, right? By then, you will scatter."
Lu Qingqing lowered her head: "Yes... it's not very good. A small-scale war broke out a few years ago... Fortunately, we have allies who can withstand some of the pressure."
"Why is it not good?"
Lu Yuan briefly listened to the current international situation.
The Human Alliance and the Haji Civilization are solid allies, and their friendship has withstood the test of war.
In addition, there are two major forces, the "Flame Snake Civilization" and the "Red Run Alliance".
Among them, the "Flame Snake Civilization" is the strongest, reaching the peak of level three civilization and almost reaching level four.
The "Red Run Alliance" is composed of several civilizations, all of which are of Minotaur descent and have a large population.
In short, three forces formed near a medium-level relic, restraining each other.
"It's fortunate that there are three forces. If two of them were to fight, it would benefit the other one, so we've been able to maintain stability." When they said this, the relatives were all a little worried.
Lu Yuan sighed. Even though he could resolve this dispute in many ways, it was not appropriate...
The Human Alliance must walk its own path instead of relying on him as a nanny.
Of course, he still had to find a way to ensure the necessary safety. He couldn't just watch his hometown being destroyed by other civilizations.
He racked his brains to think.
"Or, let them finish digging the ruins and then go to the North... Anyway, my space tunnel is not dug yet."
…
…
Just as Lu Yuan was meeting his relatives, the contacts between the two diplomatic teams began in earnest.
Cannons roared and fireworks bloomed.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The Queen of Green walked onto the carpet surrounded by her personal guards.
She was wearing a silver-white dress, which took her three months to sew - since becoming a craftsman, she fell in love with the feeling of making clothes for herself.
The dress had a high neckline, revealing a slender, white neck, on which she wore a sapphire necklace left by the Green Civilization. The dress was embroidered with the emblem of the poppy tree and ancient runes with silver thread, and every stitch seemed to be telling of the glory of the past.
As she bowed slightly, the thousands of diamonds inlaid on the hem of her skirt refracted a dazzling light in the sunlight, like a galaxy pouring down.
This scene stunned all the leaders of the Human Alliance!
It felt like a country bumpkin meeting the queen of a superpower, no one dared to look her in the eye!
Immediately afterwards, various Zerg warriors walked out of the cabin.
There are beetle types, praying mantis types, and human forms.
Except for a few bugs that look rather ferocious, most of the Zerg actually look pretty good.
Including the big mantis, with a triangular head and its entire face covered by a smooth amber compound eye armor, with hundreds of hexagonal eye spots flashing inside.
The lower jaw is split into four serrated metal mouthparts, which are not very scary as long as you don't open your mouth to show your teeth.
The forelimbs have evolved into two pairs of foldable sickle claws, with the main blade being 1.5 meters long and reflecting a dark light in the sun.
"These bugs are so powerful..."
The soldiers on the Human Alliance side were all a little nervous. The high-level Zerg gave off a terrifying aura that kept strangers away. The Overlord at the front was not boasting his extraordinary level of 18!
Behind these Zerg soldiers are the diplomats, scientists, and others from Green City.
The leaders were stunned for a moment and asked quietly through the headset: "What's going on? The status of the Zerg is higher than that of humans?"
Li Chunhong, the leader of Yunhai City, explained: "The culture there is very special. It is said that the one in front of us, Lu Yuan's wife, is the child of the queen of the [insect] tribe and has the ability to control [insects]."
"When the Zerg civilization was very weak in the beginning, they sacrificed their lives in the war, which is equivalent to the status of a veteran."
“I see…it turned out to be such a rough experience.” Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.
As for combat heroes, every civilization will give preferential treatment.
Li Chunhong added: "These Zerg serve the Queen of Green, which is equivalent to a private force."
“They’re a constitutional monarchy?”
"That's about right. She is an ancient extraordinary being. In theory, the entire Green City is her wealth. She is deeply loved by the people and is also a rare great spiritualist... In short, just treat her like the Queen of England."
"A great spiritual being, that's really amazing... why is there a birdman?"
"That's the Blue Roc civilization. They are considered to be a loyal ally of Green City, just like the relationship between the Haji civilization and us."
"Understood."
With this idea in mind, the two sides finally met formally.
The Human Alliance was under great pressure right from the start. They didn't have the ability to control the army of anomalies, and were suppressed invisibly.
"I am the inheritor of the Green Civilization, a supporter of the Zerg Legion, the guardian of the 18th human civilization, a great spiritual being, Lu Yuan's wife, Conch, and friends of the Human Alliance. Nice to meet you." Conch performed an elegant Green Civilization etiquette.
The Zergs behind him also bent down in unison. Their neat discipline really shocked many soldiers.
Strange phenomenon [insects]——a disaster second only to the four great natural disasters!
They have been around for so many years and they know deeply what a huge force they will become once the Zerg multiplies.
If tens of billions of bugs invade, even a level 4 civilization will not be a match!
Only a Level 5 civilization with space technology can avoid it safely.
However, her fluent Chinese makes people feel genuinely friendly.
It was the first time that we could communicate easily without any translation skills.
"Hello, Ms. Conch! I am the leader of Yunhai City, Li Chunhong. Standing on my left is Mok Hochul, from New York City, the current elected mayor. This is General Li Jun..."
Li Chunhong introduced the people around him one by one.
In fact, many people have met each other in dreams, so they are not strangers.
Then, Duke Lan Peng said, "I am the Duke of Lan Peng Civilization, Magmet, a translator and historical retrospector. Before coming to Pangu Continent, my civilization was a quasi-interstellar civilization. It was destroyed by a strange disaster in the 207th year of the Ninth Era. Only a small number of survivors joined the Green City team."
Everyone was startled.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke."
A quasi-interstellar civilization, which is about 50-100 years more advanced than the Earth’s current technology!
Such a civilization could actually be destroyed. How horrible would the strange disaster be?
They had fought against [monsters] before and knew the hardships involved, so they couldn't help but wonder what had happened to the Blue Peng civilization...
"Haha, this is a long and sad experience." Duke Lan Peng laughed, "But it's okay. It's a great honor to make friends with Green City and venture into Pangu Continent."
“Let us deeply realize that the arrogance of the past was the original sin, and maintaining the necessary humility is the law of survival.”
"You should also be thankful to have such a natural ally!"
The tone of the blue-haired birdman was somewhat condescending, and he sounded very arrogant - he was aware of his own faults, but would not change.
Li Chunhong responded: "It is indeed a great fortune for Yunhai City to have such a talent as Mr. Lu Yuan."
"I am the main person in charge of this diplomacy, Lu Yu." He is also a veteran diplomat with excellent abilities. Hai Luo and Lu Yuan are too lazy to care about those trivial matters. The drafting of various documents and the negotiation of cooperation systems are all done by these diplomats.
"Hello, friends, please follow me over here."
Miss Conch did not participate in the political discussions, but just showed up and returned to the Green Knight - this was in line with the old practice that the nominal supreme leader should stay out of the spotlight and maintain a sense of mystery.
Both parties quickly got into the mood and started chatting casually in a large room.
From some stories that happened in history, to the difficulties encountered along the way, to the various excavations of civilization relics, and finally the disasters of the era... there are too many common topics.
Only when we negotiate face to face will we find that the initial caution and doubts do not seem to be necessary...
Because life in Pangu Continent is full of hardships, some difficulties are difficult to explain to outsiders and can only be endured silently.
Sometimes, it always feels that the human alliance is weak and seems likely to be overthrown at any time.
Now, suddenly there are some human ethnic groups that look similar, speak Chinese, and can cite various historical allusions and idioms at will - in this situation, there is always a subtle sense of familiarity.
It would be strange if I didn’t have a good impression of you!
"As for how the Human Alliance uses demons, we still have to learn from Green City. After all, you have been developing related technologies for more than 500 years..."
Scientists are always the fastest to get into the swing of things.
"No, no, every [Monster] is different... But [Monsters] are also the most easily exploited of the four natural disasters. The Poppy Tree of my civilization has a gentle temperament, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors."
"In the future, perhaps we can send experts to each other's cities to conduct mutual research. Commander Lu once mentioned this. The power of a civilization is limited. If we want to overcome the epoch disaster, we need more civilizations to participate."
Both humans and scientists in Green City were very excited. They suddenly had a disaster-level research subject, which was like pie in the sky.
"General Lu is usually in charge of..."
"Oh, infant and toddler education, very busy... This is the fundamental system of my Green City, the core mechanism to establish equality for all!"
"And he is also a great craftsman, the founder of the Hall of Craftsmen, and the common teacher of countless craftsmen." When Lu Yu said this, he was actually a little proud, as if he was introducing his awesome father.
The Human Alliance was all dumbfounded. What the hell?!
Kindergarten teacher and master craftsman, can these two identities be listed side by side?
But as they spoke, his face seemed to slowly calm down, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
Wait, how can there be such a civilization?
It's very strange, but it seems real.
…
Li Chunhong watched them talk enthusiastically and breathed a sigh of relief. He had known about these things for a long time.
Suddenly, a voice sounded through the telepathy: "Dear leaders, our people have been sensing for a while and found that they are indeed real human beings, and their emotional reactions are normal."
"The level of the extraordinary person is between 4 and 7. The Green Queen cannot identify the result. She may be wearing protective gear."
"Especially those Zerg, we can't get any information from them..."
"But I didn't sense any malice, mostly curiosity and excitement."
This is a precious [Emotion Perceiver], and there is only one in the entire human alliance!
Li Chunhong breathed a sigh of relief, and based on what he had seen and heard, he quietly reached into his suit, pressed a button, and sent a notification: This suddenly appearing Green City diplomatic team was indeed real!
The highest level of security alert has been lifted!
…
"The hometown of the great commander does have a familiar flavor in the way people are treated."
“Even the reception process is similar to ours.”
On the other side, Lu Yu, Magmet and others also secretly let down their guard and asked the "Green Knight" in the rear to cancel the authority to fire weapons.
Overall, the Human Alliance is quite pragmatic in dealing with others, without any exaggeration.
"Since you have brought reporters, craftsmen, and scientists with you, we should give them enough free time." Mok Hochul from New York City said, "But we still have to be more cautious about media reports, especially when disclosing information to the public..."
"They only know Lu Yuan, the founder of the extraordinary fire training method, and have no idea about Green City. Suddenly there is a human city, and they can't help but feel cramped."
"That's easy." Lu Yu's face was calm, "Just promote us as another human race."
"Our 18 human civilizations were raised by Mr. Lu Yuan and Ms. Conch. We inherited the excellent culture of the Earth and also gave birth to our own spiritual core."
"Six hundred years of history is not long, but it is not short either. We have formed our own independent culture. So there is no need for the two sides to merge. It would be best if we just communicate with each other and choose to be friends."
These words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The current situation between the two parties is such that there is really no way for them to merge. It would be easier to talk if everyone has this understanding.
"We have never come into contact with other human races... We are really ignorant of them."
"Humans are actually a large tribe, with a large number in Pangu Continent. You get used to them after seeing them more often... Some humans are quite boastful, like... unimaginable. They are obviously poor but still want to show off." Lu Yu made a few gestures, "I can't imagine what the situation is like among them."
“There are also some who appear to be ambitious, but in reality are a mess.”
"There are also some civilizations where the leaders are ambitious but their subordinates are incompetent..."
"Is it because the leaders are trapped in an information cocoon?" Li Chunhong said, "Deceiving subordinates and hiding the truth from superiors is the norm on Earth. If you watch the fire from the other side of the river, you will find that those countries are particularly distorted."
Lu Yu sighed: "Yes, there are not many human races that can develop technology."
"Well, it's not just humans. Other races also have some problems to varying degrees. Constant self-improvement is the source of progress."
This made everyone think deeply. Li Chunhong smiled and said, "Among all the civilizations, Green City should be one of the more powerful ones, right?"
Diplomat Lu Yu said sternly: "Every civilization has its own unique experience. As far as we know now, we can only be considered to be doing well, but we are not the strongest civilization. We cannot have such an idea."
What he said was also true.
Apart from the combat power and wealth of [Greedy Demon God Lu Yuan], humans cannot compare with those natural interstellar civilizations in the field of pure materialism.
Climbing up the industrial chain is too difficult, requiring a huge amount of human resources. The population of Green City is not large enough, so it can only rely on its own back garden, the "North", to make up for the population disadvantage.
Of course, there are many craftsmen in Green City, and there are also a large number of craftsmen with enhanced divine attributes, as well as the care of the Kamehameha civilization. In the field of idealism, it is definitely the first echelon.
"We are ignorant and still limited to traditional racism... It is really a great era of competition among all races." Li Chunhong said, "The population of our human alliance exceeds 100 million, the average education level of talents is high, and the industrial chain is complete, which can be considered a small advantage."
The two sides exchanged words and started to test each other.
With the relationship with Lu Yuan, cooperation is a high probability event, but cooperation also has primary and secondary relationships, and there are too many details to be clarified.
Let’s take a simple example: the exchange rate issue.
Various idealistic minerals and extraordinary consumables are considered hard currencies in demand around the world, so pricing is relatively easy. But how should various intellectual property rights and material products be priced? How should the exchange rate between the two sides be calculated? To what extent should exchanges be expanded in the future?
The devil is in the details!
