Chapter 763 Northern Alliance Meeting
Lu Yuan turned on the TV. The dumplings in the thermos box were steaming, and the characters on TV were talking about family matters... It has been 800 years since the beginning of the era, and those TV dramas are still mostly about love. I don't know if it is because the screenwriters lack imagination, or because the human race can only revolve around these things.
After finishing a box of dumplings, Lu Yuan burped contentedly.
I stood up and looked down at the lights of thousands of homes through the glass window.
Even at twelve o'clock at night, the Green City is still prosperous.
Those tiny dots of light represent one hopeful life after another.
Suddenly, a subtle feeling of loneliness arose in my heart.
He has to protect so many people, and he has no one to turn to for help, so sometimes he can't help but feel a little tired.
In the eyes of everyone in Green City, he was the wise and powerful Commander Lu; in the eyes of other civilizations, he was the founder of mythical industrialization, a being worthy of association; in the eyes of the aliens of the Celestial Palace, he was the best investment target. With so many eyes focused on him, it felt heavy, heavier than Mount Tai.
With too many interests involved, it is inevitable that you live the way others expect you to.
Only relatives can be considered as Lu Yuan's more important anchor in this world.
His parents did not live in the same house with him, but only visited him occasionally.
It is worth mentioning that Ms. Lu Qingqing has not found a boyfriend yet. She comes here every few days to ask for a meal or a place to stay.
Lu Yuan seriously suspected that she was a lesbian and wanted to seduce his wife?!
After some observation, he finally found that Ms. Conch was too charming, especially when she was only wearing underwear, she was attractive to both men and women. Lu Yuan could only hurriedly make a few sets of underwear to cover up that damn innate mythical aura.
However, Ms. Lu Qingqing still often comes here to stay overnight, which is really speechless.
I heard a slight "creak" sound, and the door of the room opened. My sister was wearing pajamas and gulped down a glass of boiled water: "Hey, you're back! Happy New Year!
"Do you have a red envelope for your lovely sister?"
"Happy New Year, I forgot to prepare the red envelope." When Lu Yuan heard the voices of his relatives, the feeling of loneliness slowly dissipated.
He subconsciously wanted to get the gold coins, but suddenly realized something and suddenly he was smart: "Wait, you are over 300 years old, why do you still need red envelopes?!"
"I'm your sister, and I always have to give out red envelopes. Age has nothing to do with it!"
Lu Qingqing put her hands on her hips, kicked off her slippers unsatisfactorily, and then pinched her cheeks, trying to convince Lu Yuan and herself: "Look at this collagen, this black ponytail, there is no difference compared to a high school girl."
"Okay, in this era, you are indeed very young." Lu Yuan gave her a red envelope helplessly, but he felt unhappy and began to lecture her in the tone of an elder brother, "But after all these years, I don't know what you have done."
"A person's life is nothing more than two things: family and career."
"I found a wife before I was a hundred years old. What about you? It's one thing not to find a partner, but without sufficient contributions to civilization, you failed to even advance to the Acquired Myth."
“You must have some achievements in your career before you can become a legend!”
Lu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and yelled, "How can it be that easy? There are only about thirty or so acquired legends in the entire Green City... Could your college entrance examination score have possibly made it into the top thirty?"
"In such a big Green City, how can everyone have a successful career?"
Lu Yuan was speechless. In fact, Lu Yuan's parents could not become acquired legends because their contribution to the entire Green City was not enough and they could not attract enough luck.
Even Lu Yuan himself couldn't solve this problem.
Unless, give them some Xuanhuang Qi and cheat directly - but this obviously goes against the concept that "only those with great achievements can achieve acquired myths."
Fortunately, as a "user of high-level bloodline ability" and a "sixth-level extraordinary person", Lu Yuan can already live for several thousand years, so he is not in a hurry for the time being.
"Then sign up to become the Almighty."
"No way!" Lu Qingqing shook her head and snorted, "I don't have any great dreams! I just want to stay in a comfortable place and live an ordinary life."
"I've never taken any risks in my life, and I don't want to take any. Even if you let me travel, I won't be able to become an omnipotent person."
"No way...why can you be so self-righteous?" Lu Yuan was disgusted.
"I am justified and aboveboard!" Lu Qingqing collapsed directly on the sofa, pretending to be a salted fish.
"Woo!" The old wolf slipped in and wagged its tail in a pretentious manner.
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. You see, the hardest thing to change in the world is the human heart.
But deep down, he never thought of forcing his sister to become a great person. This was unrealistic.
The so-called "great men" do not become great on their own initiative, but are often shaped by the environment and experience.
Neither my sister nor my parents had complicated experiences in the first half of their lives. If there had not been major turning points such as the destruction of the country and the ruin of the family in the second half of their lives, they would probably not have become great men.
Of course, deep down in his heart, Lu Yuan didn't want them to suffer too much setbacks... Going to work and coming home from get off work peacefully, and having some small achievements, was considered acceptable.
"Hey, ma'am, would you like to go to the Human Alliance tomorrow? It's like going back home?"
"want!!"
…
…
The next morning, Lu Yuan brought a group of government officials, as well as relatives and friends, to the northern border to celebrate the New Year.
The North is the future development center, and Green City has invested huge costs in the past few hundred years.
The area of the trading market alone has expanded to 120,000 square kilometers!
What does this mean? It could be thousands of times higher than the initial value!
Within the surrounding million square kilometers, there are over four thousand cities! That's right, most civilizations built cities near trading markets.
Nuclear fusion power stations are rising from the ground, each one like a small mountain.
The thick chimneys were emitting white steam, and birds were staying near them to keep warm.
These fusion power stations provide a large amount of thermal energy, making the previously uninhabited areas suitable for life.
In the past hundred years, there has been no tragic accident of freezing to death due to extreme cold waves in the North.
Lu Yuan even saw large tracts of green forests and silvery-white boreal forests near the Human Alliance city!
This is the result of energy technology and industrialization.
Lu Yuan even saw the giant crystal turtle carrying the [Temple of Greed]!
That guy lives in a boreal forest, and he is really comfortable and happy, and has a high status.
"Boom!" The transport plane landed on the ground. Lu Yuan first took his family to visit the city of human allies.
In fact, there is nothing to see. What makes it different from Green City is that there are people of different skin colors such as blacks and whites, as well as various religions.
We have to admit that religion is so tenacious that the Human Alliance has not yet escaped its influence.
"If Green City hadn't started out as a blank slate, perhaps it would have been influenced by religion as well..."
Lu Yuan even had a vague suspicion that the emergence of religion was some kind of conceptual ability of God?
Of course, he didn't dare to think too much about it. He just thought about it for a moment and forced himself not to think about it anymore.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan and Lao Mao attended the Northern Alliance political meeting of the new year.
In the circular conference hall of the Green Market, there were a total of 8,000 people sitting there. They had different appearances and were all leaders of various civilizations.
Some leaders of civilizations wear traditional costumes of their civilization, such as fire scale dresses, woolen tuxedos, etc.
But there are also some civilizations whose culture has been gradually assimilated by humans, and they wear green clothes or suits - this is normal. After all, there were many feudal civilizations and even slave civilizations in the north at the beginning, and their traditional costumes contained some bloody and violent elements such as skulls and teeth.
Now that everyone is civilized, they can only absorb human culture and wear suits.
Seeing Lu Yuan and Lao Mao, these leaders congratulated them one after another.
"Green City has begun its training program. This is a major undertaking that only a Level 6 civilization has the resources to undertake. It's truly cause for celebration."
"Mr. Old Cat, you have put in a lot of hard work over the years."
"With abundant talents and abundant resources, a Level 6 civilization is just around the corner!"
In addition to Green City, the Northern Alliance also has twenty-two fourth-level civilizations, including the Human Alliance, Dwarf Civilization, Macro Elephant Civilization, and Tengyue Civilization.
There are as many as 72 civilizations that gave birth to acquired myths!
The number of acquired myths exceeds 100!
This powerful force, when united, is absolutely an unimaginable force.
Facing the congratulations from many allies, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "This is just a casual move made with enough effort. Relying on the resources and intelligence brought by mythical industrialization, it is indeed more than enough to develop to the peak of the sixth level civilization. In fact, everyone has a chance."
"As for the seventh-level civilization... it's still a long way off."
"Everyone, the most important thing at this stage is the Great Northern Defense Project."
"We even placed the 'secondary mainframe' we traded from the Neutrino Industrial Union in the North. This is for large-scale industry and production, to prepare for future planetary engine construction."
"Does anyone have any good news recently?"
Everyone in the conference room looked stern.
Soon, the scientists of the dwarven civilization reported: "Regarding the first generation of independently developed space tunnel boring machines, a breakthrough has been made in the key raw materials."
"Originally, we had to use the remains of the weaver as raw material, but this was controlled by the Buzhou Alliance and was quite expensive."
"But now, through our mythical bloodline, the 'Void Amoeba' we cultivate can also provide spatial attribute raw materials, effectively replacing them and reducing the cost to one-tenth of the original."
"It is expected that the first space tunnel boring machine will be successfully assembled in half a year."
"We've already mapped out the space tunnel construction plan. Every civilization will contribute some spiritual energy to connect to this highway. The cost won't be too high. With so many civilizations, a few hundred or a thousand spiritual energy contributions from each one will be enough."
When talking about this, many leaders of civilizations smiled, especially those leaders in remote areas, whose smiles were even wider.
If you want to get rich, build roads first!
Currently, large-scale transportation still relies on slow airships, which take several months to cross the entire northern border!
But with the space tunnel, the world really is a little place.
Lu Yuan looked at the map of space tunnels. They were as densely packed as a spider web, with a total mileage of over 100 million kilometers. Most of the remote areas were connected. He couldn't help but agree in his heart that this was an epoch-making project.
The dwarf scientist continued, "Besides that, there's the second key space technology: short-distance jumps... The materials technology for this area still needs breakthroughs."
The current development model is very simple. Green City is responsible for the research of cutting-edge technologies and breakthroughs in high-end technology.
The northern rear area is responsible for production and building the basic industrial chain.
"Short-distance jump" was researched by the Buzhou Alliance at great expense, and Green City naturally has relevant technical reserves.
However, some raw materials and key components are difficult to produce in-house... All those fancy, idealistic materials are incredibly complex, with tens of thousands of steps involved, making the entire process incredibly complex.
Idealistic industry and artisan forging are completely different.
Craftsmen rely entirely on their personal abilities to activate the properties of materials. As long as their abilities are strong enough, any material can be used.
But idealistic industry is different. It is very particular about materials and activates idealistic properties through resonance, doping and combination between materials.
Many processes are confidential. If there is a slight mistake, the performance of the material will be completely different.
Therefore, the civilizations of the Buzhou Alliance simply took out a finished product to sell and make money through intellectual property rights, but it was extremely difficult to reverse engineer the finished product.
It is impossible for Green City alone to decipher these materials, so the deciphering of these materials is directly handed over to the rear. At the same time, a northern intellectual property system is established. If a civilization invents new materials, it will be protected by patents and obtain certain benefits.
What's more, thanks to Green City's huge control over the entire northern territory, this set of measures was actually implemented and formed a positive cycle.
Of course, the foundation and wealth of the Northern Territory are still weaker than those of the Buzhou Alliance, and it will take some time to catch up.
"Take your time. You can't rush things like this." Lu Yuan nodded and looked at the information in his hand. "Is there any other good news?"
After a while, the leader of the Giant Armor Civilization, who specialized in drilling technology, spoke up: "We've discovered 22 of the remaining Hebrew pillars. Theoretically, there are 14 more giant pillars still buried underground."
"According to our observations, most of the pillars have been damaged, with only a few still retaining minimal functionality..."
"Of course, the materials on the Heavenly Pillar are still quite valuable. Our conservative estimate is that the value of one Heavenly Pillar is 370 Civilization Points and 189,000 Spiritual Rhythm."
This is a huge fortune, and it is also the real foundation for the Northern Alliance to rise.
When Lu Yuan heard this data, he sighed a little.
The legacy of a once-peaked civilization is truly immense. Thirty-six pillars, over ten thousand civilization points.
The governments of various civilizations have dispatched troops to protect these pillars to prevent theft and other acts.
They are all legacies of the entire league.
What we are discussing now is how to develop and utilize it.
"From today's perspective, the idealistic technology of these pillars is a bit outdated. Even if they are to be repaired, they must use more cost-effective technical solutions."
"Our opinion is to simply tear it down and rebuild it! Our industrial chain is distributed across various civilizations and requires substantial investment to continue its growth. This capital can incentivize the integrity of the industrial chain. This includes heavy element nuclear fusion engines, metallic hydrogen materials, electron degenerate matter, and neutron degenerate matter. These are all areas that materialistic scientists are still working on. Once a breakthrough is achieved, a qualitative change will occur."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. He raised such a large civilization just to climb the materialistic industrial chain.
Of course, the distribution of wealth must be fair and just, otherwise it will affect the enthusiasm within the alliance.
Therefore, after some discussion, these pillars were divided into three parts, one third of which will be dismantled into materials and converted into construction funds for the "planetary engine" project.
The other third will be temporarily retained, awaiting the subsequent "Northern Defense System".
The final third was sold directly to the Iron Key Alliance, the Buzhou Alliance, and the Neutrino Industrial Union, converting it into funds. The Northern Alliance needed a large amount of operating funds to become a powerful political organization and could not allow the Kame Civilization and Green City to continue to pay for it.
The Northern Alliance lacked the various small worlds of the Buzhou Alliance, so sustainable financial revenue had always been a problem. If they collected revenue from their members, it would obviously be impossible to collect too much.
This income solved the urgent problem.
