Chapter 287 Shumiba Civilization
After a selection, the sixth-level innate grandmaster, Jin Dongliang, was selected as the "diplomat" for this operation.
In addition, more than 20 excellent soldiers were dispatched, each of whom was a third-level master, as well as a divine skill "identification" ability user and a "language translation" ability user.
Finally,... the immortal giant turtle was dispatched!
"Wow!" The turtle stretched its head and roared loudly, "An unknown civilization?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Turtle has encountered many civilizations, and has seen all kinds of appearances. He must be a qualified diplomat!"
"Leave it to me, it's for sure!"
Many years have passed, and the turtle is in a good mood, sleeps well, eats averagely, and has grown a little.
Its tortoise shell has grown to a diameter of 3 meters.
"Shape attribute" has also increased significantly to 28 points, which is the power level of a fifth-level grandmaster.
In fact, many scholars do not want to send this turtle to the field.
After all, it is an anomaly, and its value... is not high, but it is not low either. (Currently, humans have no way to study the carvings on its body, so they can only let it raise children in school.)
But some people think that sending the immortal giant turtle is an excellent choice.
Since the other party has shown the background of the vision level, humans must also send a vision, and can also test the other party to see whether they have malicious or good intentions.
Even if the immortal giant turtle is really taken away by this civilization, it will not die anyway.
Humans just need to find a way to get it back.
"I'll go with you, I won't die easily either." The old cat said.
"That's fine..."
With it on the field, Lu Yuan felt much more relieved. The old cat is indeed a reliable guy, and can suppress the nonsense of the immortal giant turtle.
After making up his mind, the old cat changed a body. It cherished its immortal fur very much.
Changed to a slightly smaller mechanical power body.
It bounced twice violently and stuffed another "explosive spirit rune" inside.
Jin Dongliang wore the best armor developed by the current Great Engineering Academy - Poppy Vine Armor, which is made of the bark of the poppy tree, the silk of the gold-loving insect, and a small amount of extraordinary metal, reaching the "excellent level".
(It was made by a "craftsman talent" ability user when inspiration broke out, and Lu Yuan played a deputy and wrote the carvings on the side, and finally reached excellent quality.)
The rest of the soldiers wore black iron armor and black iron helmets, 20 of which were "general grade".
There are also five "rare" grade.
These armors have been improved and a layer of tree of life interlayer has been added to effectively enhance mental resistance.
At the general and rare levels, these items are also relatively excellent.
Many government officials look a little nervous.
Lu Tiantian was usually quite bold, but now he was a little nervous. He felt that this decision was a little shabby: "Will it be dangerous for us to show off our wealth like this?"
"Excellent equipment is actually quite good, and we don't have many..."
"Plus an immortal giant turtle... plus rare and ordinary armor..."
This is quite a lot of wealth.
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Think about it, the Sky City is already the greatest wealth in front of us. Who doesn't want a city that can fly?"
"We must show our strength worthy of the Sky City to have the capital for communication. If the soldiers dress like beggars, it will easily lead to crises."
"That's right." The ambassador of this operation, Jin Dongliang, said with a smile, "The Mandala Empire used to deal with the barbarians by letting the barbarians witness their strongest military force."
"In this way, deterring the other party can reduce a lot of governance costs."
"If you hide it and cause the other party's strategic misjudgment, it will be bad. Once the barbarians pounce, even if the empire can wipe them out, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources."
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, "We actually hid a lot of strength this time, don't worry."
...
At this moment, the communication radio station received another message, which was sent by the king insect Lu Xiao who was responsible for investigation, and an "identification" ability user.
"Report to the commander, we secretly scouted a ratman wandering on the edge... He is digging coal frantically, and doesn't seem to have much intelligence."
A king insect, holding a scout, flies quite fast, flying 400 kilometers per hour.
"After identification, I found it was an alien!"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
"Yes... We didn't dare to get too close, and only got a small amount of information... It was indeed an alien, named Shumiba Civilization."
"And his intelligence is indeed not high, and his strength is also relatively average. The three-dimensional attributes are 8.1; 7.2; 2.5 respectively. The energy has only one extraordinary fire."
"The god attribute is only 2.5?"
"Yes, I should be right."
Those with a god attribute below 3 are basically considered to have no value, and even the vision is too lazy to attack.
And the aliens are usually explained as intelligent creatures left over by some coincidence in the previous eras.
They survived the era disaster with difficulty.
For example, Old Cat and Conch are all aliens...
They do not belong to the civilization of the Ninth Era, and cannot obtain milestone rewards.
But there are so many aliens, millions of them, which is really beyond the scope of human cognition.
After hearing this information, Old Cat's eyes flashed brightly: "Besides becoming siliconized, escaping, and becoming a god, there is only the last way to escape the epochal disaster."
"Abandoning reason... In other words, most rat people are actually irrational beasts?"
Although this method has been known for a long time, everyone is still a little shocked when they actually encounter this kind of method.
This method is simple but cruel, and it is simply more painful than death.
If Lu Yuan was given the choice, he would rather fight to the death and fight to the last moment than let his descendants turn into irrational beasts.
Of course, there will also be a small number of rational "rat men", otherwise the entire population would have dispersed long ago.
After hesitating for a moment, Jin Dongliang said: "In short, since the other party invited us, we have no reason to back down. This is a glorious diplomatic mission!"
"Let's proceed as planned. Just give us some life-saving means."
Lu Yuan thought for a while and handed a piece of "Spiritual Word Talisman Paper" to him.
This thing was developed in the past two months. It is only the size of a palm and one centimeter thick. It is densely covered with glyphs.
Once the spiritual word rune is activated, it can trigger a large spiritual storm and paralyze life within a 10-kilometer radius.
The cost is also quite high, requiring "excellent grade" poppy tree heart as raw material. Although it is also a renewable resource, without energy injection, it only takes ten years for a small piece of "Excellent" tree heart to grow.
Lu Yuan felt a little pain in his body, but he said seriously: "After activation, the spiritual storm will be launched in a fan shape towards the front of the rune."
"If you run backwards, you won't be affected."
"If something goes wrong, run back quickly."
"Don't worry, Commander Lu, you can't do everything yourself."
Lu Yuanqian asked Wan Zhongqing, and took a few more poppy tree buds and brought them to them.
These buds have a monitoring function.
After getting ready, these thirty people mounted two "flying dragon" bugs and set off in a mighty manner!
…
…
"Sir Governor, those rat men outside are sending electromagnetic waves. If we don't open the safe zone, they will leave here and go to other places."
"I know."
The seventh branch of Lize Civilization is in hesitation at the moment.
Even the most experienced politicians cannot tell whether they have missed a great opportunity...
The black rat-man has been here for more than two years.
They have been digging for coal dozens to hundreds of kilometers away... It seems that they can survive by eating some coal, which is really strange.
They behave strangely.
On the one hand, these rat men picked up a lot of garbage... Yes, the heritage from the previous era was loaded on carts pulled by some giant beasts.
Including some extraordinary animals and extraordinary plants!
They are indeed quite wealthy.
On the other hand, the intelligence of these rat people varies widely.
Those rat men in black clothes don't seem to have much intelligence, and are almost no different from animals.
They eat when they are hungry, take off their pants to mate when they are thirsty, and some even give birth in the open air - this race gives birth to babies very quickly and can give birth to several litters a year.
Rat people in purple, gold, and blue clothes show high intelligence, social relations, and civilized etiquette.
【trade! legend! spirit! 】
This is the slogan shouted by the Shumiba civilization. They seem to have discovered the existence of the safe zone.
As for the explanation of these words, it is not difficult. They trade legendary materials!
Combined with their alien identities...
An association couldn't help but surface: Why does it look a bit like an NPC in a game?
Of course, reality is not a game. Once the safe zone is revoked and the consequences of trading with these rat men are unknown.
Therefore, Rize Civilization has hesitated until now.
"May the Mother Earth protect us!" In a certain room in the tallest building, a priest took out a few small bronze coins and threw them lightly. After a few "dings", the coins fell on the table. . It is a special divination technique that can be used to predict "bad luck".
After seeing the result, the priest's face changed slightly, because this divination predicted some kind of "neutral to negative" result.
"Governor, these rat people may have some kind of malicious intent. Once we open the safe zone, we won't be able to get away with it. It's better to be safer."
Governor Leon, as a "predictive person", felt a little heavy.
Through his own ability, he could vaguely see the future. If the safe zone was opened to trade with these rat men, one side would be the avenue of light, and the other side would be the abyss of darkness...
The difference between the two worlds of ice and fire was so great that it made him even more hesitant.
