Chapter 285: City in the Sky, set sail!
A corner of Pangu Continent.
The wonderful New Year holiday passed quickly, and people once again plunged into a tense and busy work state.
"We are leaving here today..." Several soldiers pulled a bunch of supplies and talked and laughed along the way.
"Why, are you still nostalgic for this place?"
"How could that be? If the empire still exists, I should be an ordinary farmer, farming..."
"Haha, maybe I am a fisherman."
In the past, the ruins of the empire were explored countless times by soldiers, and no more resources could be found.
Thirty years later, weeds grew here, and there was no trace of the past.
In another hundred years, this city will be covered by nature, and no trace of the Mandala Empire will be found.
The wood within a radius of dozens of kilometers has also been cut down cleanly, and those huge Zergs carry wood in carts.
They are like tireless machines, as long as there is a bite to eat, they can keep working.
But today, the Zerg warriors received the order of the King Bug and slowly rushed back to the Sky City from the wilderness.
…
At this moment, King Insect Lu Da was reporting: "King, all the Zergs have returned home. Currently, there are 132 awakened Zergs, and the rest are all sleeping in the Sky Fortress for a long time."
"The soldiers sent out, a total of 422 people, have all returned."
Lu Yuan stood on the edge of the Sky City, overlooking the vast land. The silent mountains and fields were filled with the chirping of insects, and the red behemoths disappeared in the deep pool. Near the coastline, the old story was about to come to an end.
A new story is about to start.
The fishing boats in the distance also slowly drove back.
The fishermen took the last boat of fresh fish, full of harvest, and boarded the Sky City.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the radio issued a notice: "Attention, all communities! Sky City is about to take off. Please ask community staff to count the population."
Each community is about 500-800 people, which is the smallest administrative unit.
A town has ten communities.
The current population of 120,000 is about 20 towns.
The former Green Town has finally been upgraded to Green City.
Because the city is about to take off, people can only move around in the living area and are not allowed to run around the edge of the Sky City.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the radio issued another notice: "Sky City is about to take off. Citizens of Green Town, please check the supplies at home and keep fragile items. Elderly and children, please sit in a safe place."
"Repeat, Sky City is about to..."
After staying in a place for a long time, you may really get along with each other. When they came here, they had nothing.
The Sky City was tattered and almost fell from the sky!
When they left, although they were not very powerful, they had a trump card to settle down.
This piece of land is not unworthy of the 18th civilization of mankind.
The human expedition team found 8 extraordinary plants, 22 mutant plants, 6 extraordinary animals and 19 mutant animals from the ruins of the empire.
From the perspective of resources, the death of the Mandala Empire made Green City fat - this is a real good brother.
Many people stood on the top of tall buildings, looking into the distance with deep affection.
How much they longed to live in such a comfortable life forever.
However, everyone knew that comfort was a luxury in this world.
For the future, for civilization, for themselves...
Sailing far away is an inevitable choice!
"Huh... Everyone is a little sad."
Before leaving, Lu Yuan also sent King Insect Lu Da to place a golden statue in the imperial palace.
Some words were written on the statue.
[Respect the great Mandala Empire! ]
[This is a prosperous and rich civilization, which was completely destroyed because of a [Monster] level disaster. ]
[We are human civilization. As latecomers, we have overcome the natural disasters here and obtained part of the empire's wealth. ]
[We have to admit that these treasures are no less than precious oases in the desert, saving our confidence and saving our future. ]
[In order to commemorate this great war, we left some information about the Mandala Empire to latecomers. 】
【We should never come back, but we also hope that the traces of the empire can exist forever - part of the history of the empire has also become a part of us. 】
In this statue, there is information about cultivating to the sixth level of extraordinary fire, and some simple engraving knowledge - if there is really a rookie civilization that can find this statue, it is really a great fortune.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
Maybe it will be picked up by the civilization of the 10th or 11th era?
This may be Lu Yuan’s own bad taste. Every time he passes a place, he likes to leave some traces.
But to a certain extent, it is also for the "luck" of the "Ninth Era"!
Even a great existence like the gear civilization must leave some historical traces.
It is not a bad thing for humans to leave traces.
What's more, this little gift of knowledge will not lose anything.
After doing all this, it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Yuancai solemnly announced in front of the TV station: "I declare that the Sky City has officially set sail!"
After many years, the Pandora crystals inlaid on the walls began to shine one by one, and the gravity of all the rocks in the entire city was being offset.
"Countdown, ten seconds..."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
The Sky City took off quickly and steadily!
Several propellers restarted, making a huge roar. Because the development of physical technology is slow, people still use large propellers.
The sea breeze from the ocean just blows to the north, which can bring subtle help.
After years of recuperation, the poppy tree has recovered a lot of vitality, but it is impossible to restore its heyday, after all, it is just a stump now.
According to the evaluation of some "plant affinity" ability users, the Sky City should take about one year of recuperation for every 3,000 kilometers it sails.
Otherwise, it will overdraw its vitality, and the time cost of recuperation will increase significantly.
This is not a big problem, it is also good to stop and go.
Lu Yuan didn't think that the Sky City could fly back to the human mother civilization all at once. He had sensed in his dream that the location of the human mother civilization might really be at the end of the world...
"The power grid is stable... The generator set is normal!"
"The poppy tree is stable, and the energy circuit system is normal."
"The Pandora crystal anti-gravity system is officially activated, and the gravity of the rock is being offset."
This time, no accidents happened. As the city gradually rose and sailed smoothly, the restrictions on civilians were lifted.
More and more people came to the edge of the city and looked at the gradually rising height.
The crowd was divided again at this moment.
Some people had a little reluctance. After all, they had lived here for a full thirty years... How many thirty years are there in a lifetime?
They all had red eyes and seemed very quiet at this moment.
But there were also many young people who began to cheer loudly: "Hey--"
The loud voice spread far and wide.
This is the ambition unique to young people.
The vast world, here we come!
...
...
Just like this, time passed quickly.
One month...
Two months...
Three months...
This voyage was relatively smooth. After all, compared to thirty years ago, humans have made a lot of progress.
Whether it is the power grid or the health of the poppy trees, they are no longer as rough as they used to be.
For the people, everything is the same as usual. Everyone works when they should work, rests when they should rest, and goes to school when they should go to school.
I have gradually gotten used to the scenery in the sky after seeing it too much - after all, the whole world is a desert, which is very monotonous.
Within three months, the only possible risk was that the scouts saw a big red bird in the sky!
According to the observation of the "clairvoyant" ability user, this big bird like a phoenix has a wingspan of 800 meters, and its flying speed is about 8 times the speed of sound, flying at an altitude of 50,000 meters.
It seemed to have noticed the existence of the poppy tree, but it did not launch an attack.
While it was a false alarm, it also reminded people, especially young people, that the water in this world is really deep, and what humans know now is probably just the tip of the iceberg, so we really have to be careful.
Three months later, the Sky City landed smoothly near the original "Sari Clan" ruins.
According to the plan, the city needs to stop here for a while, dig some oil, and dig out all the Pandora crystals in the ruins to prepare for future expansion.
In fact, everyone is also afraid of poverty. The ruins of the Sky City are much richer than the outside world.
"How does it feel to return to the hometown?" Lu Yuan smiled at the old subordinates.
At this moment, the ruins of the Sand Clan are long gone.
The old house was blown by the sandstorm for 30 years, and nothing was left.
Only the majestic ruins of the Sky City still stand in the vast desert.
The wind and sand blew on the face, burning.
"Haha, Captain Lu, please don't be so mean." The retired old man Sha Sanli squinted his eyes, "Who will miss this place?"
Time really changes a lot.
Even an old man like him, when he sees his "hometown", he only sighs at the vicissitudes of life, but has no nostalgic emotions.
Who doesn't want to live a better life?
Lu Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately issued an order: "Comrades, start working according to the arrangements made at the meeting."
At this moment, the human resources of humans are 12 times that of the past, and the operation speed is naturally more than one level faster.
Many Zerg warriors were awakened, including Leviathan, Mammoth, Drainer, and these types also joined the mining boom.
Poor Leviathan and Mammoth, they are obviously super war weapons, but because of their ordinary food over the years, they have only grown to the size of excavators.
And I don't know why, they seem to be a little kind, and every time they see a member of the engineering team, they have to call out: "Biba"!
Does this seem to mean greeting?
They are also slowly getting used to the life of working as soon as they wake up.
