Chapter 491: Countermeasures for [Ghost]
After doing all this, Lu Yuan took Miss Conch and left the sinkhole.
The darkness today is particularly deep. Even the bright high argon lamp cannot penetrate the thick night. The Snake Man Palace in the distance has not changed at all, but a terrible uneasiness is brewing and fermenting.
The square on the border between Sky City and Green Mountain was noisy as the human government was arranging the next shift.
This time there is no need for everyone to hibernate, because if they want to escape from this predicament, people must find a way to explore the Snake Man Palace.
It is obviously inappropriate for soldiers to explore a place where [ghosts] exist. It is best to use various high-end puppets.
Therefore, some of the industrial systems in each industry need to be retained. It is estimated that the remaining awake population will be around 20,000, including fitters, engravers, engineers, doctors, scientists, soldiers, etc.
"Old Cat, you make the arrangements. Can the Green Mountain accommodate so many people?"
"Yes, it is possible. Everyone only needs a hibernation cabin to sleep well, but the personal space may be very small."
"In special times, this is the only way..."
Various third-level civilization technologies, such as light curtains and explosions, are also under emergency preparation.
Lu Yuan inspected for a while, sighed, and came to the Zerg's "cave" again.
"King, there is a terrible phenomenon reviving in the outside world. What are your orders?" The three king insects saluted respectfully.
"Next, human beings will hibernate collectively. There will not be so much food produced, and most of you will need to sleep for a long time." Lu Yuan ordered.
The scene in the cave is very busy. All kinds of coal, wood, metal and other materials are neatly stacked in the warehouse. There are specialized Zerg species to digest these conventional resources and break down the viscous nutrients.
Through the food chain, the Zerg can provide high-end consumables such as extraordinary mushrooms, insect milk, shellac, and silk.
"We will be prepared accordingly, retaining only the lowest level of motivation intensity."
King Insect Lu Da bowed and spoke in the same way: "90% of the insects will enter a dormant state, leaving only 10% with combat effectiveness, ready for instructions at any time."
"You don't need so many. Let's hibernate most of the Zerg... This time we are not an enemy that can be easily defeated through fighting." Lu Yuan clenched his fists.
Power really changes the hearts of insects. Ever since the Zerg Legion expanded, these three guys have been working hard, shouting slogans "Stronger than Mom" and "Stronger than Mom" every day. They have also introduced some modern management methods, saying they can Improving efficiency seems very... abnormal.
Lu Yuan was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, so he just left them alone.
"1% of sober people... a thousand worms are enough for the time being."
"Of course, we still have to face the battle that may come." Lu Yuan coughed, "Although a [ghost] level disaster, once it really happens, the Zerg will not be of much use."
"But in case there are other monsters, we can still come in handy."
"I need to defend our city!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, the other Leviathan, Mammoth, Sky Fortress, and Scout Scythe all began to wail and roar so loudly that their teeth almost broke.
"Yara Detective Mop Waxing!"
"He died in the ditch."
"What did you say?"
"Bala!"
Leviathan's large pliers made a "click-click" sound, rolling on the ground like a baby.
And Miss Conch, who could understand the "insect language", kept laughing on the side: "They are complaining to you."
Lu Yuan bit the bullet and inquired for a while. Well, it was because they had been living in a modern life recently, and their mouths had faded away, and they wanted to go out and kill.
What is "better than mom"? We only want small fortunes and do not want the rise of big countries.
"The insects these days are also being squeezed." Lu Yuan was speechless.
But then again, low-level cannon fodder can be regenerated and has no emotions. It doesn't hurt if some people are killed or injured.
He would not send these advanced Zerg out to fight unless absolutely necessary.
The enemy is too powerful. [Insects] are not even the four major natural disasters. Why should they fight [Ghosts]?
On the other hand, the Zerg Legion is also not very attractive to [Ghosts].
Because these insects are all very stupid, with no more than 3 points of divine attributes, and in the eyes of [ghosts] they are at the air level...
Theoretically, as long as the Zerg Legion does not run in front of the [ghosts] and actively seek trouble, it is much safer than humans.
After giving these instructions carefully for a while, the Zerg hibernated collectively. They spun out silk and wrapped themselves like old calluses. Only the higher Zerg were temporarily awake and obeyed the next instructions.
At this moment, a report came from Professor Desert of the Engineering Department.
"Commander, the height of Green City has dropped to 500 meters."
"Okay, keep this height! Slowly move away from the Snake Man Palace and head towards the city of Lan Peng Civilization. The speed should not be too fast and keep covering the glyphs."
"clear."
Just then, another channel rang in the headphones.
"Grand Commander, do you really want to go near the city of Lan Peng Civilization?" Professor Lu Tiantian from the University of Science and Technology questioned this decision. "The other party's population is eight times ours. Although they also have hibernation technology, the risk factor is still higher than ours. much higher."
"Their materialistic technology is indeed better than ours, but their understanding of spiritualism is relatively rudimentary... Even if we give away some knowledge, some things will be difficult to catch up with in the short term."
"Once the Lanpeng civilization is attacked by a strange phenomenon, we may also suffer disaster if we get too close..."
"Theoretically, this is indeed the case." Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and said in the earphones, "But you have to know that this grassland is only so big, a quarter of the earth's area. It is a [ghost] level vision. In front of me, it’s really not big.”
"Once the enemy slaughters all the Lan Peng people, the mess left for us will be too big to bear. This vision may not be a [ghost], it may be other [demons] or the like..."
"So there is no other way, we can only hug each other to keep warm."
[Ghost] is an idealistic perpetual motion machine, and theoretically it does not lack aura, but why does [Ghost] tirelessly attack civilization?
The answer is simple, for the highest level of spiritual energy, luck!
It can gain "luck" by destroying a civilization!
Lu Yuan paused and thought of a dark and obscure possibility: "Unless..."
Lu Tiantian directly raised this possibility: "Unless we start a war with the Lan Peng people now, we will give priority to exterminating them before they are slaughtered by the vision!"
"At least this idealistic energy will not fall into the hands of natural disaster-level visions. This plan is actually safer, isn't it? Wouldn't it be even more terrifying if the [ghost] gets 'luck'?"
All of a sudden, other contact channels fell silent.
Everyone held their breath and began to think about this possibility!
Lu Yuan shook his head. He actually thought about this possibility, but finally rejected it.
On the one hand, there is really no precedent for human civilization to kill other civilizations. If there is enmity between the two sides, that's all. But now that there is no enmity, from a moral perspective, we really can't do it.
Don't underestimate "morality", it is the cornerstone of a society's development.
The development of human beings requires some inner driving force. Whether it is a sense of superiority or a sense of morality, it always requires some inner motivation.
Once morality collapses, civilization will decline and the beautiful atmosphere of the past will never be restored.
On the other hand, a war between two civilizations, especially a war of extermination, involves drastic fluctuations in "luck".
"Luck" is an ethereal thing for humans, invisible and intangible. Only the technology of the third-level civilization [Time and Space Tidal Harmonic Conversion] can transform it into substantial spiritual energy.
But for visions like the "Devil of Greed", the existence of "luck" can be perceived relatively clearly.
The same should be true for the rest of the visions.
"So we must not start a war at this moment. Once a war starts, the 'luck' of both sides will fluctuate greatly. The [Ghost] is likely to revive immediately and look for our city!"
"So there is only one choice left for us: one will be prosperous and one will be destroyed!"
Lu Yuan said seriously with a straight face: "Of course, there is no need for us to risk our lives to support them. Both sides should keep a sufficient safe distance! If the other party makes some inexplicable and dangerous moves, we will stop them immediately! "
"We must take the initiative in this operation. This is the first priority for survival."
"As long as the other prince is not extremely stupid, he should agree to our various plans. Don't worry, we have established enough trust." He waved his hand decisively.
This paragraph is quite reasonable and well-founded, and the heads of various departments agree with it.
Lu Tiantian thought of the remains of the [Demon Control Ruins] that he had just put in the safe, and vaguely guessed what happened. His eyelids trembled a few times: "Okay, I understand."
"Since the other party is willing to cooperate, let's bring the cities of both sides closer and act in unison."
Just like that, Green City slowly approached.
Because it moves slowly, it may take a month to reach its destination.
During this period, both humans and the Lanpeng civilization have been on alert and launched several suspended satellites urgently.
The black shadow above the Snake Man Palace did not continue to spread. The blood pupil was half open and half closed, in an intermediate superposition state of awakening and sleeping...
On the fifth day, the magnificent palace suddenly started moving slowly!
It flew to the middle of the grassland and landed on the ground with a soft "bang".
Along with the overwhelming dust, the animal escape began!
Large tracts of mandala flowers spread out from the Snake Man's Palace, growing crazily in the soil and occupying the original grassland!
