Chapter 536 A new era of development (two-in-one 6,000 words!)
Facing the conditions put forward by the Crystal Man, Gu Zhong's not-so-smart mind racked his brains to think.
"But...I...don't have the capital to do business."
There is some knowledge, all traded by humans to the Underground Alliance, enough to climb to the level of third-level civilization.
Sell it to a weaker civilization, they will definitely want it.
Another old snake man also said: "That's why we need to set up a foundation."
"We also have a batch of supplies in hand, which adds up to a lot."
"If it's a fair trade, it can probably sell about five thousand civilization points, and... it's hard to estimate the aura, maybe hundreds of thousands, I haven't counted it yet. This is a fair trade with advanced civilizations, and there are not so many in the ninth era. of higher civilization.”
Gu Chong's eyes suddenly widened, you are actually so rich!
I, the ancient insect, also want to have this worth.
"Knowledge can be resold. It is expired knowledge of human civilization anyway. Lu Yuan also agreed, and it can be regarded as setting a unified industrial standard for Pangea, which is a great thing."
"As long as you sell enough civilizations. It's possible to sell them for 30,000 or even 100,000 civilization points!"
"How about I give you a 10% commission?"
hiss--
Gu Chong was a little excited. A 10% commission was like ten thousand points of luck!
As long as I support the Underground Alliance with 1,000 civilization points, don't they have to obediently call me, "Ancestor of the Ancient Insects"?
With its size and appearance, it is a surefire way to deceive a weak civilization!
What's more, as an ancient myth, what's wrong with pretending to be an ancient relic? !
But it doesn't have many good treasures in its hands... If you want to fool others, you have to have something of your own, otherwise wouldn't it be seen through in a second?
"I only have mushrooms produced in underground fissures." Gu Zhong said honestly and humbly, "What about the mushrooms I sell myself?"
"Of course it's your own money, we don't charge you any fees."
Mushrooms are actually good things, but they are not of strategic level. They look really poor - a relic of selling agricultural products?
There are very few stupid civilizations who are willing to spend civilization points to buy agricultural products. It would be nice to spend some aura.
What's more, Gu Zhong knows that he has a big weakness - his brain is not very smart!
Therefore, it talks as little as possible. The Underground Alliance regards it as a spiritual belief and will not take the initiative to embarrass it.
But to communicate with foreign civilizations, you definitely have to speak.
When his intelligence is exposed, he will be in big trouble.
"Now that I have these strangers supporting me, this may really be possible..."
The more Gu Zhong thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and he asked in a low voice: "What property do you have?"
"With a little more disclosure, I feel better."
"Well...you take a look first..."
The old snake man in charge of accounting took out a piece of paper from his arms and made a series of lists on it.
Good guy, there are a lot of legendary and epic materials!
There are also some man-made wonders, which are basically unique items with excellent effects.
In the past few epochs, powerful civilizations have fled to purely materialistic planes, and some idealistic products will lose their effectiveness.
So they dumped these items here directly, and they were regarded as "descendants of the legacy".
These irresponsible refugee civilizations are still willing to do such things within their capabilities.
Coupled with this different space, by the end of the era, it was crowded with civilizations and the transaction volume was huge.
Over time, the Laoyiren team has accumulated a lot of knowledge.
"You... are so rich... the six of you are richer than the entire civilization combined." Gu Zhong felt sour in his heart, "Why am I, an ancient myth, so poor?"
"Don't worry, do things for us and you will soon be rich."
"Do you know any other Shinhwas? You can bring them with you."
"No more... everyone is dead. Only I am still alive."
"It's better for us to do something than nothing..."
So on this day, the Ninth Era Development Foundation was officially established!
…
After the negotiation, the ancient insect's consciousness returned to his body.
The ancient insect is moving!
Its huge body emerged from the soil, like a moving mountain peak.
The bronze carapace shines in the sunlight, and there are still some gaps that have not yet been completely repaired, but they do not affect mobility.
The senior officials of the Underground Alliance who were celebrating the ascension ceremony of the Sky City were all shocked: "Lord Gu Zhong, why did you come out of the earth..."
It made a loud sound and said: "Useless things, since you are going to stay here for a hundred years, then I am going to go somewhere else to make a living!"
"Time is precious and opportunities are rare. Only by fighting for yourself can you have a brilliant tomorrow!"
"I'm going to support other civilizations. I'll come back in a hundred years! Let's go!"
The voice of the ancient insect became louder and louder, and the forged horns emitted a colorful halo against the sunlight.
It suppressed the underground alliance, spread out its six legs, and walked away in a distant direction.
Every step made the ground tremble slightly.
Only the people from the Underground Alliance were left looking at each other.
Then his expression changed drastically.
Their greatest asset, the ancient insect, ran away!
"Lord Gu Zhong, wait for us, at least bring some clan members with us!"
"Our city in the sky will set off soon and leave this underground rift!" The squinting clan quickly made a promise.
"Take our Tauren with us!" A group of Tauren warriors ran over with axes in hand.
Caught off guard, the grand journey begins!
…
…
For Lu Yuan, ever since he heard about the development foundation plan established by Yiren and Gu Zhong, he has been envious of his unique physical conditions.
The image of the ancient insect is so majestic, its body length alone is one kilometer!
Mighty and domineering, but not too fierce, suitable for running out to defraud.
However, humans or the Demon God of Greed do not have this condition - especially when the Demon God of Greed is still wanted, it would be better to show up less often.
In addition, whether it is the ancient insects or the alien group, they are all kind to him. It is not a big deal to borrow the teleportation ability of "Immortal Palace" for a little bit. Anyway, they pay for the transmission of materials themselves.
No matter how greedy Lu Yuan is, he can't care about the money in the foundation.
He turned around and threw himself into his busy work.
"I hope everyone can grow up quickly."
…
…
After everything was settled, everything fell into place.
[Ghosts] stay in the day and come out at night, and they are still regular.
The little mirage dragon has entered a period of rapid growth and is eating like crazy every day. The growth rate is visible to the naked eye. Perhaps in a few decades, it will be a serious young dragon.
Lu Yuan used a ruler to measure its body length. It was 10 centimeters longer than last month. He patted the cold scales and said, "When will you grow as big as the Great Mirage?"
"When the time comes, we two brothers can dig a hole and pretend to be a high-level relic, so that we can defraud the points of low-level civilizations."
The little mirage dragon is speechless, I am a dragon, a proud existence!
How can you, a despicable demon of greed, lower my taste?
Lu Yuan laughed, but he didn't agree with it.
"My immortal giant turtle is going too." The immortal giant turtle, which had grown a little bigger, raised its neck high, its eyes shining like stars.
After growing for more than two hundred years, Turtle's expansion speed is not bad. The turtle's back is as high as a two-story building!
It also looks great, look at the carvings on the turtle's back.
Each piece of turtle shell draws complex trajectories like spirals, like whirlpools in the deep sea, and the whole body is filled with amazing carving materials.
"Okay, okay, our brothers will grow bigger and bigger, and they will definitely be able to catch fat sheep." Lu Yuan was eager to get excited. He also wanted to grow even bigger. The current height of 300 meters was not enough for the bigger beasts. Look.
"Good brother, I remembered something." Oogway had a sudden thought.
"you say."
"If you give me the food treatment of a small mirage dragon, can I grow faster?!" The immortal giant turtle is now floating, feeling that its potential is unlimited.
Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically. Can humans bear these two high expenses?
He said with some confidence: "You can talk to the old cat and see if he agrees."
"It will definitely do it!" the turtle set off boldly.
…
…
Within humans, the debugging work of "Real Dreams" took almost a year.
After all the preparatory work is ready, it is time for the entire hibernating population to collectively wake up.
According to the plan, more than two-thirds of the population will spend a long time in the dreamland.
This is a brand new challenge for human civilization. People don’t know what will happen to human society during long-term sleep, and they don’t know where the future will branch.
However, we can only move forward.
On this day, there was a huge crowd of people near the Tiankeng in Green Mountain.
There are many people who doubt it, and there are also people who support it.
Government staff introduced the latest policies with loudspeakers.
"Everyone, there are benefits to living in a dream! The first is that you can have a longer lifespan, because the body is lying in the hibernation chamber and will almost never age! You can even live until the end of the era... This has been achieved with technology Certified!”
"The second is that the extraordinary expenditure of the entire civilization will be reduced. Now we are all shrinking, our territory is small, and we don't have that much output. If you stay awake, there will be no resources for you!"
"But you know, this is just a special means in a special period. If we leave this world, everything will return to normal. Do you understand?"
"Has the disaster passed?"
"Where's [Ghost]?"
"Ask one by one, don't be in a hurry!"
Awakening the whole nation is a big project.
With a population of one million, they woke up and found themselves living in a small cave. Then they were about to begin their dream life. Almost everyone was a little confused.
It seems...it's not unacceptable?
With more people, the social environment suddenly became lively. People were chatting, eating, and couples were making out and feeding each other.
This may be how the fireworks in the human world are formed. Lu Yuan himself was quite happy to see so many young people. He was busy explaining the reason and then asked everyone to fill in their personal wishes.
"[The ghost] is still squatting outside, we can't get out..."
"Alas, the extraordinary output must be given to the little mirage dragon. It is the one who protects us."
"Hey, it's so big, it should eat more." Boys and girls gathered around Mr. "Dajin".
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
This guy squinted his eyes and exhaled, his scales opened and closed with his breathing, and his muscles that concealed terrible power were very relaxed and motionless to avoid crushing the tiny humans. Occasionally, he would fiddle with his special skills "Frost Control" and "Fire Control" to tease the children.
It can be seen that it is completely different from the arrogant character in the previous life.
It fully enjoys the love of humans - I am the guardian of civilization!
The crowd in the square chirped like sparrows.
Not to mention, everyone is very optimistic. When there are many people, they just get together to chat and eat some big pot meals. There is no pessimistic mood. Just treat it as a collective outing.
The supplies were eaten by the little mirage dragon, so let it be eaten, anyway, I will go to sleep.
Lu Yuan was also helpless when he saw this scene. This situation also has both good and bad sides. It means that humans have strong organizational capabilities and can quickly implement any difficult decisions.
The downside is that the Green Government must do all kinds of details like a parent, otherwise all kinds of trust will soon collapse.
"Hey, buddy, are you joining that... dream plan?" a middle-aged engineer asked casually.
"My job is in the field of biomedicine, so I won't join for the time being." Another young man shook his head.
No matter how strong the [real dream] is, it cannot simulate the properties of proteins, so biology and supernatural science can only be carried out in reality.
A scientist next to him held a newspaper: "It is said that many functions in it have been blocked... Currently, only about half of the functions are activated."
"It's normal. The real dream has just been enabled, and a stronger anti-addiction mechanism must be set up. It is similar to the dream we lived in when we were young. What about you?"
"I want to work on the heritage reception project of Lanpeng civilization. About half of the time, it will be carried out in dreams."
"The rest of the carving work must be completed in reality."
Everyone thought seriously about future plans and submitted their personal volunteers.
Like mechanics, mathematics, education, design, computer science, etc., can all be completed in dreams. This type of workers are the main force in filling out volunteers.
There is also the pure physical heritage of Lanpeng civilization, which also needs people to receive.
This matter is a bit difficult, because the current population is still far from enough. The cities of Lanpeng civilization have 8 million people to maintain the industrial chain.
And there are more than one million humans.
If you want to accept it completely, you must add the idealistic link to simplify some jobs that require a large amount of high labor.
"I think we can do a qualification certification. Real dreams are indeed a tool for scientific research and the development of the industrial chain. People who pass the qualification test can use functions such as "mind creation", which can greatly simplify some testing links. . "
"That makes sense... Let's write a report and make some suggestions."
Everyone expressed their opinions and the atmosphere of discussion was heated.
When Lu Yuan heard these suggestions, he was also thoughtful: "Indeed, it is necessary to join the qualification test."
"Dream science..."
In addition, middle school students under the age of 24 will not join the dream plan. They are still in the growth and development stage. If they spend a long time in dreams, it may bring negative effects.
College students after the age of 24 can join the dream plan as appropriate.
At this time, a group of Lanpeng people came slowly from afar.
Accompanying them were star scientists such as Lu Tiantian and Sha Mo. These scientists were quite famous and quickly attracted the attention of most people.
Comrade Lao Mao, standing on Lu Tiantian's shoulder: "Hello, fellow compatriots. According to the plan, the elites of the Lanpeng civilization will join our civilization. Let us work together in the future to create a better tomorrow. Today, while there are many people, let's get familiar with each other. Anyway, we will meet often in the future."
"Hello, everyone, I am Jin Bot, and I am very happy to meet you. Thank you for saving my life!" Jin Bot bowed slightly according to human etiquette.
As soon as these words came out, there was applause in the square, and the distance between the two sides soon narrowed a little.
The 5,000 newly joined elites of the Lanpeng civilization are also a big news recently.
Facing these foreigners, people still mostly sympathize and pity.
Such a large quasi-interstellar civilization disappeared in the blink of an eye, which is really a pity...
Thinking carefully, people are a little scared. If the foundation of their own family is weaker, perhaps, they will suffer the same fate.
In addition, the heritage of the quasi-star civilization is really rich. It is a morally appropriate act to pick up other people's heritage and absorb some high-quality immigrants. Anyway, there are many races in Green City, and it doesn't matter if there are 5,000 more birdmen.
Soon, a research team began to contact these elites, and the two sides began to discuss some cooperation and other things.
Seeing that the human masses easily accepted this matter, Jin Bot was relieved. He turned around and discussed the next cooperation with Lu Yuan.
…
…
The excitement of Xiaodongtian did not last too long. As time passed, batches of humans entered the dream, and major public places soon became deserted.
On the contrary, there are more and more robots active in Xiaodongtian, and the mechanism of interaction between dreams and reality is booming.
Controlling the vines of the poppy tree in dreams, this technology has long been possessed by humans, and it has even been used in the first-level civilization. Now it is just transplanted to ordinary robots.
Therefore, in the future, every citizen in the dream will own a robot, and use this robot to interfere in the real world.
In the second year, the Dreamland Project officially came to an end after officially loading a population of 740,000.
Lu Yuan also entered it with great interest and experienced what the so-called "real dream" was all about.
His authority is naturally fully opened.
"Teleportation!"
With a "swish" sound, he moved from one end of the city to the other.
"Creation of the Void!"
In just a short moment, a simple dagger was created based on Lu Yuan's imagination. Even the subtle rust was exactly the same.
"Yo ho."
"Be happy."
The next second, a hundred conch ladies of different sizes surrounded him. Lu Yuan was so happy that he couldn't extricate himself. Then Lu Yuan's eyes went dark and he found that the real conch had deactivated a lot of his permissions and was There was an angry eye roll.
"Isn't it sexy?"
Lu Yuan coughed and said, "They don't have any great skills. They don't seem to be interesting."
"snort."
"Now... there is not much difference between us and the green civilization."
History is always reincarnating, and after absorbing the legacy of the green civilization, the 18 branches of humanity slowly turned into a new green civilization.
As for whether the final fate is the same...
No one knows this.
Walking in the green city in the dreamland, everything is exactly the same as reality, but there seem to be subtle differences.
As a great spiritual person, Lu Yuan can actually sense that this is a dream.
Some things are like seeing flowers in the fog, there is always a sense of vagueness.
But for most humans, it's no different than reality.
The structure of the dream city and the real city are exactly the same. This is also to "prevent addiction" and adapt to the switch between dreams and reality. Even computers in the city can be used. These computers are connected to external computers and can perform many functions, including controlling real-life robots.
Even the poppy tree is reproduced exactly the same, but the big tree stump in the dream is just a simple decoration.
Even the currency in dreams is related to reality. It sets physiological needs such as hunger, thirst, and sleep. You also have to spend money to buy clothes and take transportation.
"Sometimes, I wonder, could our real world be the dream of some super powerful person?"
The conch, which was also on the top of the poppy tree, looked at the city and smiled sweetly: "Why don't you explain it to us as characters in a novel?"
"It seems to make sense."
Lu Yuan patted his head. According to Occam's razor principle, do not add entities unless necessary. This kind of philosophical problem that cannot be solved in a lifetime should be left to future generations to think about.
"So where can the science of dreams be extended?"
Conch smiled and replied: "If we could open up the connection between dreams and reality, the interactive function of brain waves and computers would be greatly enhanced!
"As long as you think about it, the car can start whenever you want, you can hit wherever you point with the mouse, and you no longer need your fingers to press the keyboard... No matter what field you are in, you can make further progress, right?"
"Oh! It's similar to the adaptive function of the X-level mecha of Lan Peng Civilization. This is excellent! But this is the materialistic realm, right? What about the idealistic realm?"
"The first is to have an extra backup plan to escape. Just like the green civilization, when disaster strikes, everyone is thrown into a dream."
Lu Yuan slapped his nose, could you please stop thinking about escaping, a method that failed once?
"The second thing..." A faint smile appeared on Conch's face, "Of course it is the will of the world that connects Pangu Continent!"
"As long as we can connect, we can borrow the world power of Pangu Continent, and then we will be a serious fourth-level civilization."
After talking to this point, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
The most important thing is that the research funding comes from Lanpeng people!
All humans pay is the cost of time.
Lu Yuan opened his hands: "Let the future development come more violently!"
…
(On the first day of 2025, please give me a monthly ticket!)
