Chapter 360 [Gambling! ]

Lu Yuan figured this out, and his pupils dilated, and he was sweating profusely.

This damn world, the more you know, the greater the risk - what's the difference with the Dark Forest?

Two civilizations that know nothing can live in peace with each other, and can even "call each other brothers" and "reach an offensive and defensive alliance"! Just like the friendship between humans and the Rize civilization, it is indeed precious at the beginning.

And when an insider and an ignorant person get together, they may cooperate with each other, or they may go to war, depending on what the insider thinks.

But when two insiders get together, they are really careful and careful... No one knows whether the other party has the intention to kill!

One careless move will lose everything!

There is no way, now we can only use the rules of the Eighth Epoch to eliminate the risk of war.

This translator shouted a sentence with a large loudspeaker: [Bet! ]

The voice was transmitted far away.

In fact, everyone in the conference room was also a little nervous, and everyone began to discuss the theoretical combat capabilities of this group of fishmen.

"There shouldn't be many civilizations with a large number of nuclear bombs..."

"Because the cities chosen by 'God' are usually typical cities of this civilization with a large population. Conventional civilizations are unlikely to be so crazy as to deploy a large number of nuclear weapons in the city."

"In addition, with a population of one million, it is already difficult to maintain dozens of nuclear bombs. The industry cannot afford to maintain thousands of nuclear bombs."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "So what you mean is... even if this civilization has nuclear bombs, there are only dozens of them, and it is impossible to blow up the Sky City?"

"Yes, and you may have overestimated the attack power of nuclear bombs. A nuclear weapon with a yield of 100,000 tons can be easily resisted by 3 meters of concrete, plus solid carvings. So it is very difficult to destroy the Sky City."

This news is a shot in the arm, hitting everyone's heart-the solid carvings of the Sky City are naturally densely packed, and every wall has them!

Some officers are also discussing whether to let the Sky City take off and evacuate urgently?

But Lu Yuan still shook his head and suppressed these statements, because the city was running very slowly, and it was a big target.

Once you fly into the air, not only will you appear guilty, but it will also easily trigger the other party's greed.

"You must show your strong side."

"And civilized communication is not necessarily a bad thing."

The human beings sent out the "gambling fight" invitation so straightforwardly, which may have shocked the other party.

For a long time, no new news was transmitted.

Instead, the reconnaissance brigade sent new information: "Report to the headquarters! We have observed a large group of aliens working on the seabed, which may be civilians of the other side..."

"There are many fish-man-shaped creatures working in the deep sea, and they seem to be cultivating life in the coral reefs."

"The swimming speed of these intelligent lives is comparable to that of fish... The speed is about 40 kilometers per hour."

"Even at the bottom of the sea 6,000 meters, they can swim calmly."

"(Noise*) Report, the other side has dispatched a fleet!!"

"There are a total of 13 ships, the largest of which is comparable to the size of an aircraft carrier, and is similar in size to our floating fortress."

"We have observed that on the surface of the coral reef, there are technological creations in the form of missiles. There may be more than 20 missile launchers and hundreds of heavy tanks in total. It is estimated that there are also some underground missile silos, which are aimed at the direction of our Sky City."

This news actually made everyone relax a little, because even if these mid-level missiles are all hydrogen bombs, the Sky City can withstand it.

The human source fire cannon can also hit the opponent's coral reefs. The Sky City has also set up all its weapons, including the most powerful "Spiritual Word Rune Cannonball", which has been loaded. This has formed a reciprocal deterrence.

Another marine survey team also sent news: "This large coral reef may be 2.3 kilometers thick, and most of it is hidden underwater."

"We have observed a lot of unmanned submarines and suspicious mechanical fish. [Photos] [Photos]"

These data were sent to the fleet's computer like snowflakes.

This computer is not ordinary semiconductor technology, but the "Black Yao Computer" of the Source Fire Civilization. It combines certain idealistic technology and has a lower probability of being conquered by computer viruses.

But humans still cannot rule out the possibility of being eavesdropped and monitored.

There is no way, there are really too few talents related to semiconductors... Many of them are copied from the human mother civilization and are in a state of half-understanding.

Lu Yuan is actually under a lot of pressure. He notified the rear to always prepare for evacuation.

Especially the extraordinary creatures in the Green Mountain must be handled well.

In addition, a full 100 puppet war mechas were activated. These things were equipped with rune bullets and "source fire cannons" and had extraordinary combat power.

From this perspective, humans are indeed countless times stronger than they were decades ago when they had to buy even weapons from the Rize civilization.

"It's a pity that high-energy lasers have not been developed yet, otherwise even nuclear bombs can be intercepted directly."

Lu Yuan consumed his energy for a while, and at this time the other party's news finally came.

"We are the Nanyu civilization, and we accept the bet!"

His heart beat heavily, and the other party really knew the rules of the bet.

He sent the translation expert to imitate the Shumiba civilization and yell a few words: [We are human civilization, passing by here, making friends with martial arts. 】

[Three battles, best of three, life or death! ]

[The loser pays 100 Lingyun! ]

"Is this also a copy?" The rat craftsman, Rat Gongye, was actually joining in the fun.

He could only accept it with a pinch of his nose, just watching silently without giving any opinions.

Of course, if a fight really breaks out, they will never go to the battlefield.

Until the third hour, as the opponent's fleet gradually approached, people once again received strange electromagnetic waves: "Three battles: cold weapons, bare-handed combat, and ocean combat."

There was finally a discussion in the conference room.

"The opponent really knows a lot of information... Is it a second-generation civilization, or an alien civilization?"

The purpose of the gambling fight is to observe the opponent's war potential and reduce strategic misjudgments, not just to earn the 100 Lingyun.

Cold weapons and bare-handed combat are nothing.

But ocean combat is a bit difficult. There are not many people who are proficient in underwater combat. Once you fall into the water, you can't use one-tenth of your skills.

However, as the current home environment, the ocean is not an excessive requirement.

"If we use underwater breathing beads, we can fight with some difficulty." Colonel Jin Dongliang said, "But the mobility of humans is far inferior to those species born in water. If it doesn't work, send the turtle? It can fight well in the water."

Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, the scene of the encounter with the Shumiba civilization is a little different now... At that time, we were young and fearless. The moment we sent the turtle, we were exposed as novices."

"Now it is a collision between two civilizations that know the corresponding information... We really dare not be afraid of the stage easily."

"How about this, I will fight the underwater battle, and you can choose two people on land."

Lu Yuan has the ability of "space teleportation", so there is no need to worry about mobility in the water.

Hearing what he said, the others nodded in agreement.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that the sixth-level colonel Guo Dafeng would fight the first game, and the seventh-level colonel Jin Dongliang would fight the second game.

If both games were lost or won, Lu Yuan would not have to fight.

While discussing this, everyone has heard the roar of propellers. The opponent's thirteen warships have finally arrived!

The displacement of these steel behemoths is generally between 2,000 and 10,000 tons. It may be due to the lack of productivity caused by the sharp decline in population. Many warships are rusty. Some are simply cargo ships, as if they are used to support the facade, with tanks placed on them.

This is normal. All armies need maintenance. Ordinary ships need routine maintenance every 3-6 months, which consumes manpower and material resources. Insufficient productivity naturally becomes what it is now.

The armies of the 18 civilizations of mankind are actually within the scope allowed by fiscal expenditure.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and confirmed that there were no particularly complex carvings on the opponent's main ship, which meant that this was a technological product made by a purely materialistic method.

His mood relaxed a little: "The opponent does not have a large number of carving engineers, so theoretically it will not be too powerful."

Then, the motherships of both sides approached each other, and more than 500 fish-like creatures of various shapes walked out of the deck. They were wearing light blue scale armor.

The individual differences of this race seem to be very large. The tallest fishman is 6 meters tall. Standing there, he looks like a little giant, with well-developed muscles and black scales all over his body.

The smallest fishman is about 1 meter.

Some fishmen have heads similar to humans, but with more scales and fins on their bodies, which are more in line with human aesthetics.

But some fishmen actually have fish heads, or seahorse heads, or even octopus or lantern fish heads.

This is really eye-opening. Lu Yuan doesn't know how this species mates. Can octopus-type and seahorse-type breed? Is it possible that there are more than a hundred genders like the old cat civilization?

Of course, these are just his wild thoughts. At the moment when the soldiers of both sides lined up and confronted each other.

The human translation expert shouted on the loudspeaker: [In the vast continent, countless civilizations compete for survival. In the vast time and space, trillions of creatures compete for dominance. ]

[The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. This is the rule. 】

【The weak pay the strong a certain amount of wealth in exchange for peace. 】

【Our human civilization is not a warlike one, and we fight only for peace.

【We hope that both sides will do their best, but we will stop at a certain point. After this, the two sides will communicate peacefully and exchange technology and extraordinary materials. 】

At this point, the fully armed Colonel Guo Dafeng stepped forward, and his whole body burst into a strong red light.

“Human civilization, Guo Dafeng! Please teach me the method of cold weapon fighting!”

This is actually the unspoken rule of the Eighth Epoch. In the first battle, you don’t have to send the strongest warriors, you can hide a little.

After so many years, human equipment has indeed improved. Guo Dafeng’s whole body equipment is excellent, holding a sword and shield.

It’s a pity that he didn’t control the field.

On the one hand, the current craftsmen who can customize the "field" are a bit rare, and they must burst out inspiration to customize it. In this way, the contribution of the civilization in need is very high.

On the other hand, Guo Dafeng has mastered a divine skill called "Ice Control", which is a bit similar to the skill of Mirage Dragon. Once it gets involved with divine skills, it involves the soul, which is something that humans have not yet understood, and the difficulty of customizing the field increases significantly.

Of course, because of the divine skills, Guo Dafeng's combat power is not low.

And those fishmen obviously have some knowledgeable people. Seeing that the human side actually sent a level 6 warrior directly, they were looking at something one by one.

Some fishmen had a light flashing in their eyes.

The invisible contest has begun!

"It shouldn't be identified..." Lu Yuan thought to himself.

The soldier in front straightened his chest, his expression was indifferent, like a sculpture.

Not long after, the other side sent a seahorse fishman more than three meters tall, wearing a blue armor and holding a trident, to fight.

"Wow... Ya Toad brother..." The seahorse fishman shouted.

"He said: He is a high-level warrior of Nanyu civilization, King Ma Hai, please teach me."

Lu Yuan took a closer look.

[Unknown life form, suspected to be an intelligent race. ]

[Suspected to be level 4. ]

[Attributes and abilities are unknown. ]

His face changed slightly. The other side actually had a way to conceal personal attributes.

Several other identification ability users were also surprised: "Captain Lu, why can't you see the other party's attributes? Is the other party's idealistic technology so strong?"

Lu Yuan remained calm and looked at the other mermaid soldiers. Unexpectedly, no one could detect it!

This made everyone gasp and wonder.

What's going on? There are no carvings on the ship, but the equipment is so luxurious?

Could it be that they were all dug out from some deep-sea ruins?

A subtle sense of weirdness came to his mind...

It's not that he is arrogant, humans really can't be the best in the world, but this strange feeling, how to say it, gave him a subtle feeling beyond his expectations...It seems that the other party has hidden some important secrets.

But there was no time to think about it, the battle started in the blink of an eye!

Guo Dafeng and this "Ma Haiwang" saluted each other first.

The first battlefield was on the deck of the human floating fortress.

"Ma Haiwang" jumped up, and the trident blazed a red-orange light, rushing towards Guo Dafeng's face like lightning!

Although it was a stop, there was no way the two sides would let up when they met. They used all their strength as soon as they met.

After all, Lao Guo was a veteran level 6 warrior, more than 300 years old, in his prime, with shining eyes. He took a deep breath, raised his left arm, and used his shield to block the waving trident.

There was a "bang" on the battlefield, and the red-orange fire light brushed past Guo Dafeng's scalp, bursting onto the deck, leaving a burn mark of the fire.
