Chapter 712 Inviting You to the North
The space on this spaceship is so huge that it is unimaginable!
The shiny metal corridor was like a maze and I couldn't finish it even after walking around it several times.
"The cave in the pot you mentioned..." Li Jun suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes in disbelief. "Could it be the space technology of the fifth-level civilization?! Fifth-level technology?!"
This was simply earth-shattering! Everyone stood there in shock, wanting to ask something but unable to ask it.
Brothers from Green City, you are not driving a Rolls-Royce now, but an aerospace aircraft carrier!
A single fart from a level five civilization can kill us, a level three civilization!
"No, no, no, we are still only at the peak of the third level of civilization, at most the fourth level of civilization." Lu Yuan said modestly, "Unless we make up for all the shortcomings, we can be called the peak of the fourth level of civilization. The fifth level of civilization is still a long way off."
"At present, our Green City still has many defects. The materialistic industrial chain is still not sound enough, and several important fourth-level technologies have not yet been completed. For example, large-scale earth escape devices and large-scale space ports are all things that need to be planned in the future."
"As for space technology, it is not independently developed by Green City, but the result of cooperation among a large number of civilizations. We only know how to make this thing, which requires a large number of craftsmen and has limited production capacity, so we cannot be called a level 5 civilization."
He waved his hand righteously: "Only when we have independent research and development and a completely autonomous and controllable industrial chain can we be called a Level 5 civilization, right?"
Li Jun opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Are you comparing your lower limit with other people's upper limit?
The symbol of a Level 5 civilization is space technology, but you say you are at the pinnacle of a Level 3 civilization? This is tampering with the standards.
Wouldn’t that mean our human alliance has become a primitive civilization!
Mok Hochul, Professor Edward and others looked at each other in silence. They wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
envious?
envy?
No, when the gap is too big, jealousy will not arise, but only a dreamy sense of unreality will arise... How did it become a level five civilization out of nowhere?
"Welcome, friends, to the Green Knight." At this moment, Conch walked out of the room. She had replaced her gorgeous dress with a tuxedo, looking decisive and efficient.
"Hello, Ms. Conch." Everyone came to their senses and greeted her.
Hai Luo greeted Lu Yuan's parents again, a little shy, but confident: "Dad, Mom."
In fact, my parents have seen Conch several times, but this is the first time they meet in real life, so they can't help feeling a little awkward.
My mother smiled and took off the gold necklace on her wrist as a gift.
Instead, Lu Qingqing happily held Hai Luo's hand and whispered something in her ear.
It is truly a feast for the eyes to see two sacred kings standing side by side... However, in terms of appearance and temperament, humans are ultimately no match for the innate myths.
If Lu Qingqing is the girl next door, her appearance is about 60 or 70 points; Hai Luo is like a girl from the two-dimensional world. Although we know that she is very beautiful, we have no way to judge her, let alone give her a score.
It’s no wonder that parents feel a little embarrassed.
"You guys are busy, I'll take them to eat something." Conch took his family away.
This little episode helped the Human Alliance recover a little from their shock.
These smart people had to start thinking about how they could learn something from the "Green Knight".
On the other hand, they wanted to confirm how much of what Lu Yuan said was true and how much was false!
What you hear is not necessarily true, what you see is true. He can't just believe everything Lu Yuan says casually.
Li Jun had some friendship with Lu Yuan, so he stood up and said, "Mr. Lu Yuan, our power armor is at least a relic technology, and it is our best asset. But we don't know how powerful it is. Can it compete with Green City's equipment?"
"Of course there's no need for a bet. We can just spar with each other and stop when we're done."
Lu Yuan saw what these guys were thinking and said with a smile, "Alright, how about we send out a scout to fight with cold weapons?"
"It just so happens that I have some of these eggs of the Scout Scythe, so I want to give you some too."
"Wow haha!" Scout Xiaojian shouted excitedly.
Level 8 bugs are not the level 15 bugs in the outside world. Li Jun and Mok Hochul discussed for a while and became very interested - if they can't even beat the mortal Zerg, then how can they fight against the mecha warriors.
"We can only know how big the gap is after a competition. We won't just give up. Our fighters are all level six!"
"Sir Mok, although we usually compete with each other, please stand on the same front this time. We only hope not to lose face and should not suffer a crushing defeat!"
"Haha, General Li Jun is too modest. Our soldiers have also been tested in actual combat, and our power armor is the result of wisdom and sweat. I am very confident about this!"
Mok Hochul waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward with a click: "Sixth-level warrior, Newyue City Super Captain, Steve! Please teach me!"
He pulled out a high-frequency serrated knife and a huge shield from behind him.
The reconnaissance sickle seemed to have understood the opponent's challenge, and raised the sickle, eager to try.
"start!"
Following Lu Yuan's order, the reconnaissance sickle flew over almost immediately, close to the ground, and the sickle on the left arm slashed out like lightning, hitting the opponent's shield with a "bang"!
The sickle on his right arm poked straight at the sensor exposed by the power armor, and his movements were incredibly agile!
Steve was no ordinary man either. Seeing the opponent's attack was fast and powerful, he used his own magical skills.
【Bullet time】!
This is an ability that speeds up reaction time, and everything becomes calm and relaxed.
He twisted his waist violently, and the armor made a sound of high-speed spinning gears, and he raised his shield to block upwards.
"Bang!" The sickle hit the shield heavily, leaving a white mark.
"Wow!" The black afterimage launched a series of fierce attacks at an extremely fast speed.
Li Jun and others held their breath, shocked by the intelligence of the scout Xiaojian, who seemed to know the weakness of the power armor. If all the sensors were destroyed, no matter how powerful the power armor was, it would become blind.
"It's not that it knows the weaknesses of technological weapons, but it possesses a divine skill [Weakness Insight] and an innate instinct. Because of this, it is called the 'Reconnaissance Scythe'." Lu Yuan explained.
"So that's how it is. Every Zerg has a divine skill?"
"Not really. Low-level Zerg only have ordinary skills. Only high-level Zerg, who are smarter, have divine skills."
This super captain is also a human elite. In the midst of the violent attack, he managed to defend himself with the huge shield in his hand.
The "dangdangdang" sound is like hammering iron.
During a gap, the powerful force of the spliced power armor rushed forward, and the high-frequency serrated knife swung towards the opponent's sickle!
When everyone saw this scene, their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly jumped even faster!
"It's time to decide the winner! Bugs are just bugs after all."
Steve also deliberately held back a little strength and did not chop at the opponent's head. It would be difficult to explain if he killed the insect.
As a result, at the moment when the high-frequency sawteeth touched the arm sickle, the reconnaissance sickle actually made an excited "Wow Gaga" sound, just like a prey caught in a trap.
The sickle suddenly flashed with a dark light, the divine skill - [Hardened Bones]!
There was a loud "bang" and sparks flew everywhere!
This is a contest at the material level, a competition of hardness.
Although the sparks disappeared in a flash, they left an afterimage in the eyes of the viewers that lasted for a long time. When the two weapons clashed, it seemed as if even the air was burned through.
There were cries of surprise from the stands; the high-frequency serrated knife that was rotating at high speed was actually stuck!
Several gears broke and fell to the ground while spinning.
There were only some shallow marks on the blade of the reconnaissance sickle.
"The insect shell is actually harder than technological weapons..." Li Jun murmured in his heart, clenching his fists, feeling more nervous than when he was on the battlefield.
The small sickle was ruthless and stuck its opponent's weapon with one sickle.
The other sickle poked towards the direction of the sensor, "crackling", sparks flew, and all kinds of glass and metal fragments fell to the ground.
To be honest, the power of this small sickle is indeed a little weak. Unlike those behemoths, it can crush most mechanical armors with its strength.
But it plays it smartly, just staring at the exposed sensors.
Finally, he let out another "wow" and spurted out acidic liquid.
"Sizzle", a strong sour smell filled the air. It seemed that the bite hit the vital point and corroded some circuits of the power armor.
Finally, the scout sickle bounced back dozens of meters, shouting there proudly.
The winner is decided!
The Human Alliance was silent for a long time.
With a bitter smile on his face, they couldn't even defeat a level 8 reconnaissance bug, let alone the real combat weapons of Green City.
Even Li Jun couldn't help but scratch his head and smile bitterly: "New York City lost... Can our Yunhai City's power armor defeat them?"
The technical staff shook his head and whispered, "It's difficult, General. The technical specifications of our armor are actually similar to those of New York City. At most, there are some differences in details."
"Our sensors and materials are all the same, not leading the way."
"Forget it then..." Li Jun looked at the soldiers who were eager to try, "Don't humiliate yourselves. If you want to spar, I will communicate with Lu Yuan privately. There will be plenty of opportunities. There is really no need to go on the field now."
The technicians also sighed and remained silent.
The sensors of power armor can certainly be dispersed throughout the body, but the driver is still a human being, and is accustomed to observing the world with two eyes.
To solve this problem, the first solution is to directly install eye sensors, just like surveillance, so that the field of view is almost the same as that of the human body.
This solution has a simple implementation mechanism, low technical requirements, and strong resistance to idealistic interference, but its disadvantage is that once the core sensor is destroyed, it becomes blind.
The second solution is naturally distributed, with sensors distributed around the power armor, so it doesn't matter if a few are destroyed. However, this solution requires the power armor's brain to synthesize video images through sensor signals, which is technically difficult and requires a certain degree of AI technology.
What's more, it must be combined with technology to prevent idealistic interference.
Otherwise, once interfered by the field, the machines will break down and all of them will become stupid.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Lu Yuan took the lead in clapping. "This power armor shouldn't cost much, right?"
"In fact, these are all laboratory versions. Only when they are put into mass production in the future can the cost be reduced." Li Jun gave a general number.
"That's much cheaper than training a reconnaissance sickle." Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, "These sickles have consumed at least one Lingyun's extraordinary consumables. It's normal that the mecha can't defeat them."
Several officers were shocked. The insect eggs you gave us would make the entire human alliance penniless!
You have to know that their annual income is only a few hundred spiritual yun.
Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Lu Yuan quickly said, "Zerg warriors can be raised in wealth or poverty. In the wild, they find their own food."
"Even if they eat grass every day, they can still grow, but their strength will only grow slowly. Of course, in my Green City, the Zerg are regarded as meritorious officials, and they also have Green blood. I hope you can treat them well, or at least don't abuse them."
He clapped his hands, and suddenly, King Insect Lu came carrying a large box.
There are more than 500 insect eggs inside, some as big as a football and some as small as a fist. They are crystal clear and full of vitality.
Most of them are relatively low-level Zerg, including cowworms that can produce "worm milk", "devourers" that can devour oil to produce purple viscous substances, and "West Sea Worms" that produce shellac. The other 20 eggs of higher-level Zerg are mainly reconnaissance sickles.
Each city's team was given some insect eggs. This gift was indeed valuable and immediately covered up the frustration of the defeat - it was normal to be unable to defeat a level 4 or even level 5 civilization.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan took them to visit the "Green Knight".
This advanced spaceship indeed used a lot of expensive technology, and it is worthy of being a masterpiece made by 1000 Lingyun. However, Lu Yuan would not explain the cost in detail, otherwise it would be suspected of deliberately showing off.
"This shield... looks like glass, but it's actually harder than diamond."
Lu Yuan explained: "This is the Yak Shield II, which uses nanomaterials and some medium-level biological materials. It is said to be able to resist hydrogen bomb attacks."
"Hydrogen bomb?" The expert following behind him widened his eyes.
Nuclear deterrence is the cornerstone of ensuring peace and stability!
Is this cracked?
Their first reaction was a chill in their hearts!
It was as if the only cotton coat that could keep me warm had been forcibly stripped away.
Then Lu Yuan opened a video. Under high temperature and high pressure, this protective cover melted and fell off like glass.
But the melting speed was slower than expected, and it lasted only about ten seconds.
"Ahem, it can only withstand one or two... If it is attacked continuously by hydrogen bombs, the shield will naturally shatter. Except for electron degenerate state and strong matter materials, it is still very difficult to withstand hydrogen bombs head-on."
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, but being able to withstand a hydrogen bomb was already very impressive!
How is it made?
What is the recipe?
Lu Yuan added: "In fact, this shield is just to buy some defense time, so that we won't be unable to resist after being hit in the first place. Our strongest defense system is still the Light Curtain Spiritual Words, which can completely withstand hydrogen bombs."
Li Jun's eyes widened. "Is it the one that fights against the [Monster]? How much does it cost? Can it be mass-produced? And it can be used on spacecraft."
"As for the cost... I remember it was okay. At the beginning, using the light curtain consumed civilization points, but now after many improvements, it only consumes spiritual energy."
Costs dropped by more than 90%!
It can not only be used on spacecraft, but also on power armor!
But Lu Yuan didn't say much, just keeping them in suspense.
At this time, even the dullest people would realize that the 18 civilizations of mankind in front of them were indeed the real golden thighs. As long as they held on, not to mention ascending to heaven in broad daylight, it would be more than enough to ascend a big step on the spot!
But how can I ask for it? Even if I ask, they won't accept it!
What's more, the systems of both sides are completely different. Green City is basically full of Lu Yuan's sons and daughters, and they can't accept outsiders at all.
Li Jun and Mok Hochul finally understood why the diplomats from Green City had emphasized from the beginning that both sides should maintain their independence and there was no need for a merger.
Why should others help the poor for no reason?
Lu Yuan coughed, and seeing that the time was ripe, he finally stated his ultimate goal: "My friends, the reason why our Green City has risen is not only because of the experience along the way, but also because we are lucky enough to rise in the war, and we also know that life and development are not easy."
"I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's appropriate to say it."
"Please go ahead."
"I sincerely invite you to go to the North, a forgotten land with ice and snow that never melts and extremely cold temperatures."
Lu Yuan solemnly stated his true purpose: "There, civilizations abound, competition abounds, yet it is relatively peaceful, and there are numerous races, yet it is full of order."
"That place is not the Garden of Eden, but a bitter and cold land. However, it is also the place where our Green City rises. I invite you to become a part of the North and develop peacefully there."
"This is a short-lived era. It is still unknown when the disaster will come. It may be a hundred years later, or it may be tomorrow. Only if you go to the north can you have a safer future."
Everyone was shocked by his suggestion.
Lu Yuan had described the information about the North in his dream of the Wutong tree, and everyone knew a small amount of information...
But what good is there in going to that corner?
Didn’t you guys in Green City just escape from that place?
The mineral resources are extremely rich? Is it just to compete with other civilizations? Or... simply for safety?
…
(It’s a new month, please give me a monthly ticket!)
