Chapter 773 Big Moves Around the World
In a tavern in Ebony City, north of the Green Market, Grand Maester Constantine of the human race was interpreting the latest policies.
This tavern is extremely luxurious. It uses the latest independently developed "cave in the pot" technology, and a small mountain is directly moved inside.
Green mountains, clear waters, thousands of rocks and valleys, and a small tavern are truly a different world.
What’s sold there are all high-end ingredients, including the latest “primordial ingredients”. It is said that ordinary people will explode and die after eating one bite, but those with “high-level bloodline abilities” will find them as delicious as dragon liver and phoenix marrow. There is even a saying that if you take “primordial ingredients” for a long time, you may become an acquired legend!
Therefore, there are many dignitaries and nobles in the taverns of Ebony City.
Grand Maester Constantine, as the most informed, took a sip of the orange juice and said, "Our technology in the North is already a bit behind, but now that we're all sharing technology, with a little effort, we'll soon be on par."
"But the resource gap is still difficult to close...so we still need to produce more acquired myths as soon as possible to catch up with them."
"Grand Master, will disaster really come?"
"Alas, this time it might be serious."
"Look at this regulation. The patent lifespan has been reduced from 100 years to 10 years, a 90% reduction." Constantine stroked his glasses. "The days of collecting patent fees without doing anything are over. Most knowledge is now public. This shows that the higher-ups are really anxious."
"Also, you see, the [Etheric Spiritual Network] technology has been confirmed to have been connected to the Northern Territory. While this technology is powerful, it also has some unclear security risks. The rapid introduction of this technology now must contain some information we are unaware of."
"So who do you think the enemy is?"
Constantine made a bold statement: "I have thought about it for a long time and think that it is very likely that there are dynasties and dynasties, similar to the existence of a peak civilization!"
"What?!"
This statement is too radical.
All of a sudden, the bustling tavern became quiet, and pairs of eyes stared over.
Constantine was undaunted. "Let's assume a powerful being who survived the First Age wants to sacrifice the entire world to achieve great power. What would he do? He would definitely cultivate civilization and become the driving force behind it!"
"So, the peak civilizations of every dynasty are likely to be the losers in wars. And the civilizations cultivated by the murderers behind the scenes are the winners of wars."
"When this fact was uncovered, it caused panic at the highest levels. So everyone united."
This statement sounds ridiculous.
But if you think about it carefully, it does make some sense.
“Where did those civilizations go?”
"I don't know. Maybe it was sacrificed in blood, or maybe it transformed into an even more terrifying monster."
"You mean..."
【god?】
Everyone was silent.
Constantine said, "This is just my personal opinion. Please don't spread it recklessly. Time is running out."
…
Disaster is coming!
The change in public opinion naturally affected many people, and the efficiency of social operation increased significantly.
Green City was also affected. Pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry, the flow of people in various entertainment venues dropped by 50%, and the number of downloads of various "teaching courses" on the Internet soared.
This may be the so-called "disaster effect", which temporarily adds an "efficiency improvement" buff to the entire society.
The major civilizations in the North are taking quick action. The "Northern Defense Project" is imminent, and the planetary engine project is finally being pushed forward after much anticipation.
After careful calculations by scientists, the entire North will require at least 36 super-giant heavy nuclear fusion engines, 1,200 medium-sized engines, 21,000 small propulsion engines, and a core anti-gravity engine to achieve performance expectations.
Five thousand civilizations and 150 billion people will work hard for this great project for at least two hundred years!
Giant factories rise from the ice field, spreading towards the gray horizon like a living snowy forest.
Frozen clouds hung low, and large sky fortresses, loaded with cargo, headed for the distance.
The silhouettes of the ten-thousand-foot cranes crisscrossed the ice field, and the hydraulic system roared as it lifted the prefabricated components and precisely embedded them into the huge engine base that was as big as a mountain!
The plasma welding gun burst out with a blue light more dazzling than the sun, and the flying sparks fell on the permafrost land like a rainstorm, condensing into a rain of red iron chips in the air at minus eighty degrees Celsius.
"Great Chief, do you want to rest for a while? An extreme cold wave is coming!"
The chief of the one-eyed tribe was wearing a safety helmet and inspecting this bitterly cold land.
In today's large-scale industrial production, most of the work is automated, but there are also a few extreme environments that require manpower to complete.
The one-eyed people, because of the existence of mythological industrialization, have their bloodline returned to ancient times, their intelligence has been improved, and they have become a group of cultured people.
"No rest, no time to waste! Just take advantage of this cold snap to test the limits of performance!"
As night fell and a cold wave arrived, suddenly a dull vibration came from deep within the earth's crust.
This is the sound made by the test run of the nuclear fusion engine.
Thick yellow antifreeze rushed like blood through the pipes that were hundreds of meters thick. Steam gushed out from the pressure relief valve, and when it encountered cold, it turned into a blizzard of ice crystals, covering the entire construction site in a fleeting blizzard dust.
The unfinished engine nozzle pointed directly at the blood-red sky, and the cooling fins on its inner wall were stacked layer upon layer, forming a special kind of carving.
The cold fog was everywhere, and the neon warning lights blurred into balls of dim light in the fog, like countless ghost fires wandering among the skeletons of steel giants.
A moment later, the one-eyed chief's roar echoed throughout the construction site: "Haha! The North's first nuclear fusion engine, its first extreme environment test run, has successfully met its targets!"
…
…
Southern Continent.
On this young land, there are nearly ten natural interstellar civilizations, forming a huge alliance - the Neutrino Industrial Alliance!
The core of the alliance is naturally the Xingyao civilization. The entire planet landed intact on the Pangu Continent, and its industrial capacity is extremely strong.
The planet seemed to be made up of a silver-white metal jungle, with spires and arches overlapping at unique geometric angles. Light bands for data transmission flowed rapidly between the buildings, forming a cold neural network covering the entire globe.
For the Star Civilization, most life forms have actually uploaded their consciousness to the [Ether Lepton Network] and no longer need to operate in the real world.
However, occasionally, you can also see small giant-like humanoid creatures gathering in groups of three or two, talking about something.
These are all acquired myths, or people with high bloodline abilities, or craftsmen, engravers and seal carvers, etc.
They must have normal carbon-based bodies to function properly.
"Our Neutrino Industries will build the world's first interstellar port! It is expected to reach an altitude of 3,200 kilometers and travel at speeds exceeding 30 times the speed of sound."
"boom!"
The silver-white foundations emitted a low rumble, and the port's outline began to peel away from the earth. The anti-gravity engines emitted a pale blue glow, shaking the soil clinging to the metal structure into a floating brown nebula.
Countless metal scraps around swayed slightly under the artificial gravity, colliding with sporadic mechanical sounds.
In the ninth era, the first star port was officially established!
…
Underground rift, underground alliance.
After so many years of development, even if the underground people are not very good, they have already reached the fourth level of civilization.
There are quite a few weak civilizations around them.
Not as good as the best, but better than the worst.
"This time, the disclosure of information and sharing of technology is a great opportunity."
"We also want to build our own star port and move towards a level five civilization!"
…
In the Eastern Continent, alien civilizations from the Eighth Era are awakening one after another.
"Great! We've made it to the Ninth Era!"
The first thing they did was to observe the sky and calculate the time through the stars.
When they discovered that the current time was the 800th year of the era, everyone's faces were filled with ecstasy: "Great! We still have an era to develop!"
An era, what does that mean! Ten thousand years!
When other aliens who had long since awakened told him that it was already the late Era, he couldn't help but feel bewildered and uneasy: "Why...why? It's only been 800 years, why is it already the late Era?"
"Then the Ninth Era is completely over, isn't it?"
"What...isn't it finished?!"
…
"Many civilizations have taken action!"
“Everyone is so motivated.”
At this moment, Lu Yuan was lying on Miss Conch's legs, lazily looking at the relevant report.
This time he achieved another great achievement, which made Lu Yuan very proud. He boasted about it in front of his lovely wife for several weeks. It was truly a great pleasure in life.
Conch is not as heartless as him. She is a member of the upper parliament of Green City and has to go to work.
She was frowning as she thought about the plan proposed by the Buzhou Alliance. Data streams flashed across her retina, and a large number of government documents appeared in her mind. Every time she reviewed one, one disappeared.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, do you prefer to force a landing on the moon, or to annihilate the Western Continent? This is our future combat goal."
Her voice was soft and pleasant, especially the word "sir", which she emphasized, like the admiring tone of a little girl.
Lu Yuan was very impressed by her and was extremely happy.
"No matter which plan we adopt, we must build the Star Port. Our port in the northern border won't be built that fast. Why worry about what will happen in twenty years? It's better to think about the present..."
With a beautiful woman resting her head on his lap, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel distracted and happy.
Recently, for some reason, he has become more and more indifferent. He has enough money and Green City does not need him to take care of it.
Level 5 civilization is already the pinnacle of life's pursuit...
In the sixth level civilization, one person is a civilization, and it is no longer possible for Lu Yuan to promote all of humanity.
The promotion of "myth industrialization" has also come to a temporary halt. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether there is one more or one less person.
In this situation, I really have no desires or demands.
Only the beautiful conch shell girl can still arouse human desires in him.
"How vulgar!" Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, "Could it be that Pangu Continent can no longer accommodate a great god like me?"
But being vulgar is a good thing. You can still find some fun in life. If you really have no desires, then life would be too dull.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but rush into the arms of the beautiful woman like a wild boar.
Conch couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Just lie still, patient! If we really land on the moon, you'll be the backbone of our team... Level 6 civilization, it'll be a bit difficult in the short term."
She would obviously be worried about her husband going to the battlefield.
In fact, Lu Yuan’s coma in the Northern Trading Market triggered a wave of panic.
The human soldiers rushed him to the hospital, but no matter how they tested him, there were no results, so they had to keep it strictly confidential.
Fortunately, he finally woke up, otherwise the whole city would have been in chaos.
"Ahem, your wise and brave husband has accumulated a wave of inspiration this time, and perhaps he can make another breakthrough." Lu Yuan showed his biceps, looking confident. "Also, with the commonality of technology, I think the sixth level civilization is not far away."
"Technically, it's not far off..." The old cat suddenly rushed in from outside. Seeing Lu Yuan's lewd appearance, his whiskers trembled twice, "But the combat power of a level six civilization is still not enough."
"Level 7 civilization is very far away. Without the Almighty, it will be difficult to achieve it."
The omnipotent involves an intellectual leap, so there is a huge gap between the sixth-level civilization and the seventh-level civilization.
As for the cultivation of an almighty, it is a long-term project. Green City has just started the "training plan". It is impossible to give birth to an almighty without hundreds or thousands of years.
Lu Yuan said angrily: "You mean, let me become an omnipotent person? No, I won't be a human being anymore, what will happen to my wife?"
"It makes you look like a human being now."
"As if you can jump into technology?"
“What if it really can be realized?”
Lu Yuan was silent. His own experience was indeed rich enough. He had been a poor student and a genius; he had been scolded by his leaders and became a leader himself; he had been a craftsman, a scientist, a farmer, a soldier, a teacher, a politician... In short, he could do almost any job!
He suddenly thought of something: can the so-called "intellectual technology" be compatible with the [Greedy Demon]?
If an intelligence module is installed on the [Greedy Demon], it will turn into the [Greedy Demon] when needed, and turn back into human form when not needed. What kind of changes will occur?
"Hmm... That's a great idea! It's about improving the Greedy Demon's brain."
"Although there won't be a qualitative change, it's still an improvement."
Old Cat's expression changed, and he got down to business. "I have two things to say. The first is that the [Etheric Spirit Network] will cover the Northern Territory within the next month. At that time, auxiliary chip technology will be widely promoted to prevent Northern citizens from being summoned by the [God]."
The North has a secondary host and has the autonomous operating rights of the [Etheric Spirit Network].
In addition, Lu Yuan has seen the "World Will" host, which is that small flame, so the problem of autonomy should not be a big deal.
"The two million people we're sending out for the training program will also be connected to the network. We're still researching dream interconnection technology. Once successfully developed, it will provide a double layer of protection against being summoned."
Although the training plan is risky, humans will not choose to stop before the epochal disaster actually comes.
Cultivating enough all-rounders is the key to advancing to the seventh level of civilization.
The expert group once estimated that at least 10,000 all-powerful people are needed to reach the threshold of level 7 civilization.
Each of these ten thousand people can fight against ten thousand or even one hundred million. They are extremely valuable and it is really not easy to gather them together.
"The second is about the Eastern Continent. You have to find a way to go there."
"There lies the legacy of a Level Six civilization, the greatest legacy of the Eighth Epoch..." The old cat's voice suddenly trailed off. "As I just said, this legacy played a role in your becoming an almighty. Don't underestimate the Eighth Epoch; it also contains powerful beings."
At this point, Lu Yuan also understood the difficulties of the Eighth Epoch...
Even if there were no great existences like the "Thick Earth Civilization" and the "Gear Civilization", it was not easy for the civilization of the Eighth Era to continue the world under the siege of a group of traitors.
"And the Observer Civilization has been talking about you, wanting you to come over. The agreed time is six months from now. Your [Otherworld Alliance] will also come along."
The space tunnel between the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent is being dug and will be fully connected in six months. It will be much easier for Lu Yuan to run over.
From this perspective, the Ninth Era did develop at an exceptional speed, opening up major transportation routes to several major continents so quickly.
In the past, even advanced civilizations would have no reason to dig space tunnels. After all, space tunnels are time-consuming and labor-intensive projects that consume millions or tens of millions of spiritual energy. The manufacture of space tunnel boring machines also consumes high-end spiritual materials.
If there is no sufficiently prosperous trade environment and stable development space, there is no need to dig.
"Okay, I'll go."
