Chapter 543 The first formal contact(1/3)
Chapter 542 Lord Greedy Demon God, save me!
Suddenly, a mysterious aura emanated from the surface of the stone, like wind, frost, rain and snow that had gone through thousands of years, witnessing the passage and changes of the years.
"Huh?" The expressions of several strong men frantically digging into the ice changed and they turned their heads.
But this breath only disappeared in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, the stone became ordinary again.
"Is it my imagination?" City Lord Ta Gang kicked the round bump hard, almost knocking off his own toes.
"Everyone dig quickly! The wind is getting stronger!"
It was finally dark, and there was no time to dig another igloo.
Everyone hid in the igloo and stayed with this strange lumpy ball.
The howling snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger, and the manic air-conditioning is like a runaway horse dragging debris and raging in the air. Even a trace of breeze seeps in through the cracks, and it hurts like a whip when it hits the face.
.
Anyway, it was boring to have nothing to do. While everyone was drinking and eating meat, they studied this iron problem.
"Stinky and tough."
"It occupies such a good place, and there's no way to throw it out now."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Hug together to keep warm and build up your strength!"
But when they thought that the ruins were not far away, everyone couldn't sleep.
"The Hongxiang Clan and the Troll Clan in the distance are at war. The reason is the ruins of a low-level civilization." Constantine, the great scholar, started chatting, "That civilization relic is located at the intersection of large-scale geothermal energy. The two races
If you want to move the entire city, war will naturally break out."
"Alas..." Everyone sighed.
The demand for thermal energy is an eternal topic in the "Northern Territory".
"Who can win?"
"It should be the Hongxiang clan...their war capabilities are stronger."
The bachelor took out a golden book with lines of text on it: "The ice fish people civilization located in Dongda Lake has developed a brand-new fossil resource called flammable spar."
"This resource contains huge chemical energy, which is more than 30 times that of coal. It is also the mainstream mineral in the future. We have to pay attention to whether there are veins of combustible spar in the surrounding area."
City Lord Tagang took a sip of the hot soup, took a wooden bucket and started to soak his feet. The 42-degree hot water made his whole body feel comfortable: "I heard that this flammable spar is very difficult to mine."
"Yes, it is usually found at the bottom of deep-water lakes, and only top experts can mine it. Moreover, the water pressure is too high, and there is a risk of drowning."
Top experts working as miners, this kind of thing... is really unimaginable for ordinary people.
But in the north, it is a matter of course!
Because of poor technology and underdeveloped robotic technology, automatic mining cannot occur.
In addition, the amount of traditional coal is getting smaller and smaller, and civilization cannot live without energy if it wants to thrive.
"Actually, there is another kind of energy that is the best!" The bachelor suddenly thought of something and said in an exaggerated tone, "In the advanced ruins, there is a technological product called 'Eternal Energy'. With just a few hydrogen atoms,
It will bloom with endless light and heat.”
"You know the hydrogen atom, right? It's the hydrogen atom in the water molecule?"
These rough guys basically don't learn anything about physics and chemistry, and they are confused.
They are just extremely enthusiastic about "eternal energy" and "it would be great if the ruins in front of them had this device."
"Don't think about it. That eternal energy device looks like a mountain. You guys can't move it away." A mysterious voice suddenly said in everyone's ears.
"That's true..." The bachelor nodded, "Eternal energy is not a boiler. Only a powerful technological civilization can play with that thing."
"Can't we in Ulan City? We also have many craftsmen!"
"No, it's far from it! It needs maintenance, you know? Just like a steam engine, it needs maintenance. Even horseshoes need maintenance!" The bachelor spread his hands helplessly, "I have said it a long time ago, we have to move towards technology.
In the transformation of civilization, don’t spend all day cultivating your physique. You have to read and write, and at least complete the compulsory education!”
"Without a technological civilization, even if the treasure is right in front of you, you can only resell the equipment to others. You will suffer a big loss."
Everyone felt a little ashamed.
They really have no culture.
But the transformation of civilization...how can it be accomplished just by talking about it?
You have to convince the parents of young children to change their minds.
We need the cooperation of other cities and don't start a war at this fragile moment.
How is this possible under the current conditions?
"You can use dry hot rock to generate electricity." The man added, "The heat reserve of dry hot rock is higher than that of coal. After generating electricity, you can start large-scale industrial production."
"Electric power technology? Haha, are you kidding me?" The bachelor was speechless. "It's freezing outside, and wires can easily freeze. After freezing, the poles will be too heavy and will break!"
"And where do we get all these copper wires? Do you know how many miles away the large copper mines are?"
"Although power technology is good, do you know how much investment is required? Lord City Lord, how much are you willing to invest?"
The Lord of the City who was soaking his feet touched his nose. He would rather buy a steam engine so that he could use it immediately.
Electric power technology is really too illusory.
As a result, the voice said again: "I don't want to invest, and I don't cultivate talents. I just want to pick up what's ready. Even if you pick up rubbish, you can only resell it. You think it's better to buy than to make."
"No wonder the development of Maille City is even better now."
"Hmph, do you think they didn't resell it?" the bachelor said disdainfully, "We humans are a weak race, and we only have four cities."
"Other races come from more powerful worlds. The cities of some races are over 20 years old. Isn't it normal for them to develop faster than us?"
"Who is the strongest?"
"In this area, the dwarves with abundant geothermal energy are the strongest clan. There is no way, they were born in a good place and were born to live near the crater. God is sometimes unfair."
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the howling cold wind outside is like the cry of the world.
Even the temperature inside the igloo was constantly dropping, making everyone shiver from the cold.
"So after we dug up the treasure, we still have to sell it to the dwarves?" the city lord couldn't help but ask.
Academician Constantine was helpless: "Then the dwarves are certainly easy to talk to...Other races may take advantage of them, especially the goblins, whose reputation is extremely bad. Don't do business with them."
"I see, thank you for clarifying the mystery." The mysterious voice murmured to himself, "How come there are so many races in such a cold place? It doesn't make sense."
"Why is it unreasonable? Shouldn't everyone live a good life?"
Suddenly, the Grand Maester reacted!
Who the hell is this voice?
Looking around, cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead.
"Who was talking just now?"
"I."
"Sir, don't pretend to be a fool."
"I am Lu Yuan, the Demon God of Greed." That mysterious voice came from no one knows where it came from.
"Who are you? Where are you?" The city lord tensed his body, and the muscle lines on his face made him look like a hard sculpture.
"I told you that I am Lu Yuan, the Demon God of Greed. You dug me out. Why don't you recognize me now?"
Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at that iron lump!
"What is this?"
"Lord City Lord, we may have encountered... a spirit monster. This kind of spirit cannot be seen or touched." The bachelor once again spoke plausibly, and then used code words to communicate, "They retain a part of their life.
Memory may be lodged in this iron lump."
"Of course, these spirits no longer have wisdom, or in other words, their wisdom is very low."
"Everything is just a mechanical conditioned reflex. So sometimes inexplicable answers will be given."
The city lord looked at the big stone cautiously: "Can this kind of spiritual monster hurt people?"
"They may take over the body and try to seize the body! But as long as we stick to our minds, it won't be a big problem. After all, our extraordinary levels are relatively high..."
"Isn't that still dangerous?"
The bachelor solemnly said: "Lord City Lord, this may be our opportunity. This spirit body may have appeared in the ruins! Its memory is very useful to us."
"I understand, then you can try it."
"Ahem..." The bachelor cleared his throat and switched back to their native language, "Your Excellency Lu Yuan, when did you die? Why do you know the language of our Ulan clan?"
"I'm not dead! I'm in a state of inspiration, and simple things like language learning can be easily accomplished."
The bachelor turned his head and lowered his voice: "Generally speaking, spirits think that they are not dead."
"Otherwise, if they are gone in one breath, they will really die."
To be continued...
