Chapter 283 Invest in the future or invest in the present

Li Jun did not dare to neglect it and quickly hid the branch in his chest pocket.

The Wutong tree dream existed for a long time, so this branch could also exist for a long time in that dream.

In addition, Lu Yuan also made a small insurance. He asked the Wutong tree to listen to his sister secretly.

Lu Qingqing was the first priority, and the branch was the second priority...

In this way, even if something unexpected happened, it would not be a big problem.

Another researcher asked: "Mr. Lu, do you think it is better to invest now or in the future?"

Lu Yuan laughed: "Of course it is to invest in the future. The dream energy of 10 million people is still very huge. The sycamore tree can only use one tenth of it at most."

"When it grows up, it can fully utilize the dream energy."

"You are not so urgent over there, right?"

"Look at this big tree here, which I invested in. Although it cannot be compared with the poppy tree, it is also a great help."

Of course, this is Lu Yuan's modesty... The Tree of Life can produce 40 pomegranate fruits and 20 soul infant fruits every year.

Every year!

This value is no less than "Green Paradise".

Lu Yuan's most proud investment is that he spent a huge amount of money to invest in the Tree of Life.

He patted the majestic tree: "It's not that big in the outside world, it's just a little bigger in my dream... In the future, I will continue to invest."

"No, no, no, Instructor Lu, our time is really tight!" Li Jun sighed in a low voice, "The [monster] in the outside world is growing. If we don't defeat it as soon as possible, we will be trapped in the safe zone."

"Without the present, there is no future."

"We only have a few years. Investing in ourselves can at least get more carving staff and more production capacity."

Lu Yuan was silent for a while.

This question is quite difficult to answer.

If the human 18th civilization encounters the dark cloud in the sky [Monster·Frost Mist], it may not be able to win.

The soldiers around also pricked up their ears to hear how he answered.

Lu Yuan sighed softly: "Conch, please help observe the potential of the sycamore tree, and after obtaining relevant data, I will help you with your advice."

"Well!" The secretary with the ability of "following your heart" can do almost everything.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to take them to visit the more powerful Green Paradise, but after careful consideration, he found that it was not possible.

Their spiritual bodies were too fragile. If they were transferred again, they would be easily injured.

It was also quite nice to visit the "Meda Paradise".

This might be the first official meeting between the 18th civilization of mankind and the first branch of mankind's civilization. Although there were no diplomats, there were 12 soldiers in the 20-person group, and the remaining 8 were researchers. It was definitely a formal meeting.

Lu Yuan called Sha Mo and Lu Tiantian, two super thinkers, to come online and let them receive friends from the mother civilization.

These two guys were naturally very excited.

That was the mother civilization, the mother civilization they had been thinking about!

Returning to the mother civilization was their first goal!

Lu Yuan introduced them to each other.

"We are just a makeshift team, a group of people working together to survive in Pangu Continent. These two are the backbone."

"If you have any questions, you can ask them directly...especially those about idealistic technology."

"No, no, we haven't left the safe zone yet...haha."

"Alas, in fact, we...are all dead...if it weren't for Commander Lu, we would have become a pile of bones. Pangu Continent is really hard to survive."

Everyone greeted each other.

The first branch of mankind, Yunhai City, has advantages in population, industrial capacity, and a complete physical technology tree.

The advantage of the 18th civilization of mankind is idealistic technology, with great potential-of course, it is only potential, and it has not been fully converted into strength.

"This is my sister, my dear sister."

"Hello." Lu Qingqing smiled at them.

"It turns out to be my aunt! You are also the elder of the entire civilization." Lu Tiantian said with surprise.

Lu Qingqing's head was full of question marks, and she thought she had heard it wrong.

She didn't dare to ask randomly, so she could only swallow her doubts.

Under Lu Yuan's transformation, the cultures of both sides are basically similar, and both are based on humility.

If it were the culture of the third brother, they might have started to brag about business.

Lu Yuan didn't want to see them continue to argue, so he asked directly: "What is the industrial capacity of Yunhai City? How much specific information do you know about that strange [monster]?"

When Sha Mo and Lu Tiantian heard that Yunhai City was going to attack a [monster], they couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Yes, this is our most urgent matter." Li Jun broke out a series of data: "Time is not on our side..."

"That [monster] has been near the safe zone of Zero Wave City."

"Our current industrial capacity is... steel, plastic, rubber, these resources are not much..."

"We have invested almost all of our materials in weapons production."

"The uranium enrichment plan has been launched for half a year, and it is expected that in another year, a small-yield nuclear bomb can be produced."

"But the raw materials are all made in nuclear power plants, and there are only a few nuclear bombs."

Sha Mo and Lu Tiantian were stunned when they heard the series of data. What kind of industrial Cthulhu is this? Nuclear bombs are made as they say, and they are not satisfied with the number!

Although in terms of supernatural power, the 18th civilization of human beings is slightly stronger - but you have to know that these idealistic technologies are all picked up by them through various adventures and garbage, not developed independently by them.

In terms of military level, industrial production capacity and large-scale war, these hard power are all stronger in Yunhai City.

The mother civilization does have its own unique advantages.

Li Jun added: "In addition, the distance between cities is far, even if it is a plane, it will take 18-20 hours."

"And the carrying capacity of the plane is only a few hundred tons, so we can only rely on the floating fortress built by the other two cities."

"The unity of all mankind is the key to victory in this war."

When Lu Yuan heard that all mankind united to fight against the anomaly together, he felt that... this plan was a bit unreliable.

This is actually a "gentleman's agreement" to prevent gentlemen but not villains.

He frowned: "What if some cities suddenly regret after the war starts? Wouldn't it be the end of us?"

Li Jun said: "The plan discussed now is that Xini City and Dongjin City will cancel the safety zone and bring the floating fortress over as soon as possible."

"We will cancel the safety zone and transport all the weapons and equipment to the fortress when their fortress comes near our city."

Although these two fortresses are not as good as the real sky city, they also have a tonnage of millions of tons and can carry huge manpower and material resources.

"We are the main force in producing weapons here."

"Then when the sky fortress passes by a certain city, the city will cancel the safety zone and move the materials produced in recent years... Even if the materials are less, it doesn't matter."

He gritted his teeth: "Even if they don't open the safety zone, it doesn't matter! Our Yunhai City, New Yue City, Lingbo City, and the two cities that produce fortresses, these five cities are the most critical."

Lu Yuan understood that if the war was won, these five cities would obviously be the status of the Five Permanent Guards, and the cities that did not open the safety zone would be liquidated.

If they lose, the [monster] has eaten so many people, and the rest of the cities will only survive until the end of the Ninth Era.

In this predicament, cooperation is indeed the best choice.

"In Yunhai City, the plan to cancel the safe zone at the second time is acceptable..." Lu Yuan nodded.

He was extremely confused. Xini City and Dongjin City dared to take the lead. Are these two cities so powerful? !

If the "dark cloud" rushes over, won't these two cities be massacred?

Xiaoshi starts gambling on the fate of the country again.

On the other side, Sha Mo and Lu Tiantian were overwhelmed by the sound of their hearts.

The first thing they thought about was: What should we do if we encounter such an enemy?

Can we... build this kind of "floating fortress"?

This is equivalent to a smaller version of the Sky City, which is more maneuverable and suitable for long-distance transportation.

But in a blink of an eye, they already have the "Sky Fortress", that is, the flying Zerg warrior, and it seems that there is no need for that.

After all, the industrial capacity of human civilization 18 is really not good.

Others can build a floating fortress in a few years, but they have a hard time producing cement here, so don't bother yourself.

Li Jun said: "Another point is that we don't know how big the detection range of the [monster] is. If it can detect humans tens of thousands of kilometers away, it means that the city that first cancels the safe zone will be attacked."

"This is what we are most worried about. Instructor Lu, do you have any intelligence?"

"This... It's really hard to say."

Lu Yuan tapped the table lightly, thinking about the anomalies he had fought before.

[Monster·Spirit Eye] can sense life forms tens of thousands of kilometers away, which is an exaggerated range.

As soon as you cancel the safe zone, they will immediately sense it and drag you into the different space.

But as for other anomalies...

It seems that there is no such exaggerated sensing range.

[Monsters] are also divided into many categories, with different abilities.

The perception ability of animals is definitely higher than that of plants.

"Wait a moment, I need to do a little test."

"Please do as you please."

Lu Yuan briefly investigated for a while, and the perception ability of the Tree of Life was quite average, about 20 kilometers.

Standing high, seeing far, that is, now at an altitude of 100 meters, you can see 20 kilometers.

"This is the first time I found that you are so bad at perception."

Well, 20 kilometers is actually not small.

The perception ability of the poppy tree is slightly greater, but it is just that the vines are spread a little wider.

Beyond the range of the vines, it will soon be unable to perceive.

As for [Painted Skin]...

He came to the virtual space where [Painted Skin] is.

This green-faced and fanged existence, like an evil ghost, is being imprisoned in a blue sky, white clouds, and an empty grassland in the form of a soul body.

"Ah!" It ran wildly, chasing the small animals on the grassland-such a huge vision, it turned into an animal in a zoo.

The most ordinary "virtual rabbits" and "virtual mice" live on the grassland.

These "virtual mice" carried a very small amount of life energy, which stimulated the biological activity of "Painted Skin" very well, preventing it from committing suicide in despair.

Lu Yuan kept adjusting the distance from [Painted Skin], and finally, within a range of 30 kilometers, [Painted Skin] sensed him!

The ferocious monster roared and rushed towards Lu Yuan quickly. When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous and uttered a strange syllable.

"靐!"

This is a spiritual word that can trigger lightning!

However, no matter how powerful the spiritual word is, it is still restrained by the poppy tree in the dream world and transformed into the purest idealistic energy.

The ability of "real dream" is really terrible.

After getting effective information, Lu Yuan did not entangle with it and withdrew from the prison in time.

He thought in his heart: "An extremely weak [Monster·Painted Skin] has a perception ability of only 30 kilometers, which is really not high."

The decline in strength will indeed bring about the problem of decreased perception, but it will not produce an order of magnitude difference.

In other words, even in the heyday of [Painted Skin], the perception of 100 kilometers is the limit.

Its rules determine that it is difficult to exceed [Monster] in perception.

Lu Yuan returned to his seat and summarized the current data.

"According to this inference, the perception range of [Monster] is the highest. This has a lot to do with its 'multiple different spaces' rule."

"For most anomalies, relying on vision, smell and hearing alone, the perception of tens of kilometers is the limit. If you want to improve it, you must rely on some extraordinary rules."

"[Monster·Frost Mist], based on its current performance, does not have space rules."

"Including it will fly in the sky, the altitude is about 3000 meters-10000 meters, and considering it has been staying in one place for a long time."

"I think the perception ability of one or two thousand kilometers is a relatively conservative inference."

"Of course, we have to observe for a long time to get a more correct conclusion."

These inferences made everyone very excited.

It means that the plan to conquer [Monster·Frost Mist] does have a considerable success rate!

Especially when they heard that Lu Yuan had defeated another anomaly [Demon·Painted Skin] again, everyone was a little numb. Is it really so easy to defeat a natural disaster-level anomaly?

Why does it feel like killing a chicken...

Lu Yuan said a few words modestly, shook his head and said: "Hey, each anomaly is different... We are also very lucky to have encountered one that we can just defeat."

"If the dark cloud over there ran to us, we might be slaughtered in a minute."

Every generation has its own long march. Yunhai City is mainly developing physical technology, and he can't help much.

The technology tree on his side, relying on the poppy tree, painted skin, and Zerg, really cannot be shared with humans.

The atmosphere gradually became heated when they talked about the technology line "Spiritual Technology" extended from [Demon·Painted Skin].
