Chapter 739: If you don’t make a sound, you will make a big splash!
In the vast desert, the endless sand dunes solidify into golden waves, always maintaining a posture that is about to pour but ultimately remains still.
Heat waves trembled across the surface, cooking the distant horizon into a blur.
The surrounding area of hundreds of millions of square kilometers is home to tens of thousands of civilizations, large and small!
Cities are scattered all over the place.
Some civilizations send hypersonic spacecraft, which only carry a small group of civilization diplomats.
Some civilizations even moved entire cities here.
When they first came here, they naturally wanted to investigate the cause of the war.
As for the final result, nothing was found...
Instead, they had an unexpected gain: they discovered the existence of the Buzhou Alliance!
So I just decided to do a business here and exchange information, which is not a loss.
With the gimmick of the "Supreme Craftsman Competition" and the deterrent effect of the "New Century Fortress", large-scale wars have not yet broken out.
With a slight "hum" sound, the spacecraft landed smoothly and a group of people came out of the airport.
My first reaction was… it’s huge! Really huge!
The ceiling of the airport was 5 kilometers high, and they were like small ants in a giant's hall.
Through the glass windows, you can even see the stars outside.
If the "New Century Fortress" rises a little higher, it will become a true space port.
"Let's go to the market," Li Chunhong said with a smile. "We sold the cryo-laser equipment and made a little money."
"It's just that I want to buy so many things that my wallet never gets full."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be many cooperative projects in the future... The improvement of civilization can only be done bit by bit, there is no way to rush it."
Now Green City is Green City, and the Human League is the Human League.
The relationship between the two sides is better than that of ordinary civilizations, but they are not allies.
This kind of relationship is actually quite friendly and does not pose any psychological burden to Lu Yuan.
"I'm looking forward to our craftsmen winning some prizes in the competition..." Another white leader seemed to be looking forward to it. "Even if it's just the first prize, it will be worth thousands of spiritual energy. It's a lot for us."
"Then we are competitors!" The leaders of the Red Run Alliance and the Flame Snake Civilization came down from another spaceship.
The former enemy, the current friend.
Over the past three years, the Red Run Alliance has been doing quite well, selling the blood and hair of the "Bull Ghosts", which can be considered a specialty.
The Human Alliance is doing pretty well thanks to the care of Green City.
The Fire Snake Civilization has become the weakest.
The Fire Snake craftsmen are working hard to get rewards and rise again.
The rewards this time are really generous, the spiritual rhyme rewards alone are over three million!
There are also immortal-level materials, epic-level materials, and various priceless materials!
There are also various divine skills, ancient bloodlines and other good things that cannot be bought at home!
Such a huge reward naturally attracted the attention of all civilizations.
Arriving at the New Century Fortress, there are too many civilizations to count when they sign up to participate.
Lu Yuan had his own things to do, so after chatting with these leaders for a while, he asked Hai Luo to take his parents shopping.
And he himself came to the territory of Green City.
As the founding civilization of the Buzhou Alliance, Green City has an embassy covering an area of one square kilometer.
The equipment inside is complete and there are many craftsmen gathered.
Lu Yuan had been thinking from the beginning about creating a mythical equipment for Green City.
Winning some rewards legitimately can make up for the regret of not creating myths for mankind for so many years.
But now, he had developed a certain degree of ambition—if he really stole a small amount of God's authority and appeared in front of the vast civilization, he might tamper with certain "concepts"!
This brings about opportunities for utilization, and some engineering projects that were originally very difficult may now be realized!
"This conceptual ability is somewhat similar to my power of thought... However, its use has many limitations. It requires the consensus of all beings, and it also has a hint of deception. It's really hard to control."
"But my thoughts cannot be known to others. Once they are recognized as lies, the rewriting of the concept will fail."
Seeing him enter the gate, the craftsmen immediately came to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
The craftsmen of the human mother civilization have been getting along very well with Green City recently, and old acquaintances such as Professor Zhang Hui are visiting here.
They also plan to participate in the competition. It would be best if they can get a ranking, but if not, they can only give up.
However, the craftsmen from Green City are still very ambitious and have a clear goal. They are determined to win a medal!
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Hello! Do you have any new ideas recently?"
"Commander-in-chief, there are more and more competitors. There are more than 50,000 foreign civilizations, and there is no shortage of people with brilliant ideas." Li Datie reported on the recent exchanges.
He looked a little sad.
For craftsmen to create, daily accumulation is important, but a bit of luck is also needed in the competition.
If a certain race suddenly has a burst of inspiration and grabs a good ranking.
This kind of dark horse event can easily happen.
Lu Yuan laughed: "Don't worry about that kind of accidental incident. We just need to do our own thing... Let's talk about our competitors."
Li Datie rubbed his hands and said, "The civilizations in our Buzhou Alliance are all quite strong. For example, the Sanyue Civilization, the Chi Civilization, and the Craftsman Civilization all have very powerful teams of skilled craftsmen."
"There are also some teams from the Iron Key Alliance and the Northern Alliance."
These are all old rivals. Lu Yuan looked at the relevant information and nodded slightly.
"But now several new rivals have emerged. One is called the Mirage Civilization. It is said to possess the foundation of a fifth-level civilization... Their team will not be weak."
"That big shell, right?"
"Yes! Those guys are so proud! It is said that they even created myths in the Eighth Era!"
"Grandmaster Craftsman!"
Lu Yuan turned his head and his eyes moved slightly.
[Demon·Shell of the Star Sea] was puffing out clouds of dust in a desert thousands of kilometers away. The huge sandstorm changed into various shapes, sometimes like a mountain, sometimes like an ocean.
The city of the mirage civilization is inside this big shell.
As if it had sensed Lu Yuan's gaze, the [Star Sea Shell] that was originally puffing out smoke suddenly shuddered, and the desert suddenly produced ripples like water waves.
The layers of clouds also turned into sand rolls.
Lu Yuan: ...
Am I that scary now?
Li Datie didn't notice this. "There's another opponent worth noting, called Neutrino Industrial Alliance. Their strength shouldn't be underestimated."
"Oh? Neutrinos?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"As the name suggests, it is an alliance of civilizations that are strong in materialistic technology."
"They come from the Southern Limit. It's said to be a new continent with low levels of idealistic radiation, making it ideal for the development of materialistic industries. Furthermore, their population is enormous, reportedly exceeding one billion people per continent, which is very rare on Pangaea."
Lu Yuan's heart moved.
"These civilizations are the trump cards that Pangu Continent has spent so much effort to preserve!"
Most civilizations are transmitted in cities, but there are also a very small number of civilizations that are transmitted in countries.
This obviously requires the world's will to expend more energy, so these types of civilizations are carefully selected, and each one is a natural interstellar civilization.
What's more, it is possible that there are only single-digit civilizations, which are integrated into the Pangu Continent on a planetary basis!
This type of civilization was considered the pillar that Pangu Continent originally favored!
Lu Yuan asked again, "How did they get here? The Southern Continent is too far away from us. It will take us a year or two to get there. I heard there are very dangerous areas of idealistic disorder over there."
Li Datie gestured and said, "By leveraging the naturally occurring rifts in space and time, they've jumped a distance. Their spacecraft can even travel at high speeds in space, perhaps around 200,000 kilometers per hour."
"I see. A civilization that can use space rifts is not far from level five, even if it's not level five yet."
"But everyone, have confidence!" Lu Yuan raised his arm and shouted, "If we don't make a sound, we'll be amazing!"
This voice was filled with an inexplicable infectious power, as if they would surely make a sensation around the world in the future.
The craftsmen were immediately filled with enthusiasm.
Ever since Lu Yuan made his remarks on the “industrialization of myths,” he has been labeled a “shameless person.”
Moreover, no achievements have been made in all these years, and the stigma against them has become more and more serious.
Only great creation can wash away the stains!
So if they want to do something, they have to do it big - create an acquired myth!
This is a difficult topic. According to the theory of mythology, it is possible to mass-produce acquired myths.
After all, the example of blood sacrifice is right before our eyes. As long as the population involved in the blood sacrifice is large enough, acquired myths can indeed be created on a large scale using some method.
But the reality is extremely difficult!
The energy of blood sacrifice is very special, involving the purely idealistic concept of soul, and the rules of blood sacrifice are forcibly concealed.
Starting from this angle, you will find that what lies ahead is a combination of abysses and mountains that are thousands of feet high, which even the sixth and seventh level civilizations cannot climb.
Lu Yuan and humans have no way out!
So, what to do?
The answer is simple - Xuanhuang Qi!
Lu Yuan planned to use the higher-level energy "Xuanhuang Qi" to take a shortcut.
Of course, he consumed too much Xuanhuang Qi to achieve the innate myth. Now he doesn’t have even one unit of Xuanhuang Qi in his hand, only about 0.22 units.
It is unrealistic to expect to create an innate myth with just this little thing.
But even if there is only a small amount of Xuanhuang Qi, it is more than enough to create an acquired myth.
This practice is actually a bit of cheating. The preciousness of Xuanhuang Qi is not comparable to acquired mythology, and it is much more noble than the energy of blood sacrifice.
But so what? Since this involves conceptual ability, it is worth it.
Lu Yuan had a vague intuition: "Let some people become acquired legends first."
"Once the spread effect occurs, related concepts will be born in the minds of many intelligent beings, and even the false can become true!"
Of course, he was not 100% sure about this matter, so he still had to prepare as much as possible. Even if he failed, 0.22 units of Xuanhuang Qi could create dozens of acquired myths, which was not too much of a loss.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan asked, "Does anyone have any creative ideas recently?"
When this matter was mentioned, everyone was excited but also under great pressure.
Li Datie frowned, "Commander-in-Chief, the proposition of mass-producing 'acquired myths' is too big. We craftsmen can't quite grasp it, and we don't have much confidence."
"The best idea right now is to build a mirror."
In reality, the Green Field Artisans team already had the ability to forge a legend, but due to cost-effectiveness, they hadn't been able to execute it yet. Lu Yuan was confident in letting them display their talents, as long as he could complete the core parts himself.
Li Datie produced a conceptual diagram: "The image reflected by this mirror isn't your current self, but your future self, after you become a myth. This concept aligns with the philosophical concept of 'the past mind is unattainable, the present mind is unattainable, and the future mind is unattainable.'"
Lu Yuan vaguely understood that to create a myth, the most important thing is an elegant philosophical conception and the idealistic rules that appear for the first time in the world.
"I" is a temporary combination of the five aggregates and has no independent and unchanging "self-nature".
If there is a one in a trillion chance that I will become a myth in the future, then by using this mirror to transfer the cause and effect to myself in advance, I can greatly increase the strength of my bloodline.
"What a genius idea!" Lu Yuan said with interest, "What's the name of this equipment?"
"Cause and effect mirror, or future mirror!"
"But there are many problems. The first is that the bloodline strength is not strong enough." Li Datie said with a wry smile, "For example, if the bloodline strength of an innate myth must reach 100, and the acquired myth must be above 10, the bloodline strength of an ordinary person is about 0.001."
"And this mirror's theoretical value can only be raised to around 1, and this is the most perfect theoretical value..."
"If the performance is even worse, it will probably only be able to increase to 0.1. In any case, increasing the bloodline strength to 10 is almost impossible. The difference is orders of magnitude!"
Lu Yuan laughed heartily: "Idealism is just empirical data. Miracles do happen occasionally."
"Don't worry, even if we can improve the mirror to 0.1, it's a huge improvement and it's not a waste."
"Lu Yuan, I have another question." The ratman craftsman also came over and said with a sly look, "Even if we really make a mythical product, it may not be very high in the craftsman's rating if it is not replicable."
"The materials we used this time are not cheap. People will accuse you of being a nouveau riche, forcing a myth out of these materials. When public opinion rises, you won't be able to defend yourself."
"You, Old Lu, caused a minor disturbance when you argued with the judges. I heard that the craftsmen of the Iron Key Civilization are thinking of you."
The highest craftsmanship competition emphasizes functionality, cost, and reproducibility.
Idealistic industrialization is meaningless if it cannot be replicated.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "When I made that boast, I meant it sincerely."
"What's the difference between our Ninth Era and other eras? The first is the large-scale promotion of field industrialization, which has increased the productivity of all civilizations."
"The second is that alliances were formed early on, which reduced the occurrence of wars."
"But this level of change is still far from enough. Which of the peak civilizations in the past few eras was not a group of astonishingly talented people?"
“Only mythology is industrialized!”
"Massively produce myths, or create items that are slightly inferior to myths. Only in this way can we withstand the disasters of the era and make a difference!"
His voice was not loud, but very firm: "So, I don't care about other people's opinions."
"We are exploring new paths. What do rumors have to do with me?"
Shu Gongye's beard trembled twice, and he was suddenly speechless.
Look at him, his temperament and his broad mind!
What are you concerned about those flies doing?
Moreover, Lu Yuan’s achievements are here, and field industrialization was invented by him!
I wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but I was speechless and even felt a little bit of agreement.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Comrades, let us work together to create greater glory!"
The human craftsmen were full of enthusiasm and shouted: "If we don't make a sound, we will make a big splash!"
