Chapter 276 Human Dilemma


    "Light curtain!"


    “Tutu!”


    The red light on Li Jun''s skin can already withstand a small-caliber pistol.


    Of course, this requires him to be extremely focused.


    The light curtain is difficult to maintain for a long time. If someone secretly launches a sneak attack, he still cannot withstand the bullets.


    "I don''t know what the effect of Level 4..." Many researchers were talking about it.


    "According to the information conveyed by Instructor Lu, level 3 to level 4 is a big threshold. No matter how talented one is, it will take years, or even decades without a lot of resources."


    “That’s really long.”


    "If everyone cultivates their level, the legendary high martial arts world will be like this..."


    Most of the young people in the research institute are still young, and everyone is beginning to imagine the future.


    However, some families were happy and some were sad.


    Young people can think randomly and be the leader of their own affairs, and they are simply worried.


    The general manager of the institute, Zhang Hui sighed in his heart: "From level 2 to level 3, a lot of resources have been consumed."


    "But the resources in the institute cannot support one person infinitely..."


    What''s more, the extraordinary level is related to life span. The principle of not worrying about lack of people but unevenness is the same in any society.


    "The qualifications of ordinary people are not high enough. Even if they practice to level 2, they still need some extraordinary resources... Alas... If the level gap is too large, everyone may have conflicts."


    He looked at the peach tree in the institute...


    OK, that''s the thickness of the arm.


    A tree wants to support the cultivation resources of the entire city?


    It’s so whimsical!


    …


    After testing this for more than an hour, Li Jun was a little tired, and he was sweating and was indescribable to excitement on his face.


    Of course, he knew that his data was still not as good as Lu Yuan.


    When Lu Yuan contacted the Lizardman, humans already knew that Lu Yuan was an extraordinary level 3 expert.


    Now... it should be at least level 4.


    From a certain perspective, it is not necessarily a bad thing to have a stronger person pressing on him.


    At least, it makes everyone full of motivation to catch up.


    "I will continue to work hard and advance towards higher goals. Try to practice to level 4 at the fastest speed!"


    "Good ambition." Zhang Hui smiled bitterly, "We need to open up meridians at level 4, and we have to find ways to study this matter."


    With the information sent by Lu Yuan, the road ahead is almost smooth, and they just need to practice step by step.


    The only problem is resources...


    The resources are really too few and too barren.


    After resting for a while, Li Jun suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Professor Zhang, since I have reached level 3, I must organize manpower as soon as possible to conquer that sycamore tree!"


    “I will find a way to solve the problem of inadequate resources.”


    Zhang Hui nodded: "You go."


    Yunhai City selects the strongest genius among 10 million people and invests a lot of resources, so it is naturally impossible to just look good in terms of face.


    Twin sycamore tree, a mysterious big tree - the biggest opportunity and the biggest challenge in Yunhai City!


    …


    After Li Jun left, the screen of the contactor lit up and made a "buzzing" vibration.


    Contacting international friends is also the basic daily life in the institute.


    "Hello, friends. Today we have a good news here." Zhang Hui simply revealed that the progress on Yunhai City has attracted envy and jealousy in other cities.


    The gap between cities has quickly widened in the past six months.


    For example, spreading extraordinary fire requires organizational ability. Yunhai City has completed the full popularization of the population in more than a month.


    But most cities have not been fully popularized even after half a year. Some cities with severe corruption also regard the spread of fire as a privilege.


    There are also cities...


    No spark...


    Several professors in Dongjincheng felt like a heartbreaking when they thought that others could live for hundreds of years, but they would die in a few decades.


    Seeing others keep leading, it’s really painful to stand still here.


    Of course, there are also a few cities that can keep up with Yunhai City.


    "Congratulations... Captain Smith on our side has also reached the limit of level 2 fire. It should be possible to break through level 3 in the next few days." Professor Edward of New York City, the Sixth Civilization Branch, said with a smile.


    "In this way, 6 months, almost when investing a lot of resources, the human species has cultivated to the extreme speed of level three."


    “That’s right.”


    "Since the best talent takes six months, the less talented one may have to extend to decades, or even until death, and there is no way to break through to level 3."


    Zhang Hui nodded: "Yes, the resource problem is imminent."


    A level 3 warrior, using resources to pile up one, is actually not a very technical thing - after all, the road ahead is smooth, so how difficult is it?


    It is difficult to popularize the whole people. In 6 months, there are only one hundred level 2 warriors, all of whom are top geniuses.


    But if they are talented, they actually cannot enjoy any resources, so their progress will naturally be slow.


    At this development speed, even if it develops for hundreds of years, it will be possible to create ten three-level, one or two-level four-level strong men. This ending is no different from the Meda civilization.


    "If humans want to develop greatly, they still have to leave the safe zone and enter the Pangu continent."


    But if you leave the safe zone, you have to defeat the dark cloud first, that is, the [demon].


    Therefore, everyone discussed the industrial development and resource status in the recent stage.


    This is also a daily routine. Everyone supervises each other and the siege plan must be carried out as scheduled!


    Yunhai City is actually quite smooth. In just half a year, several power stations have been built to continuously provide electricity.


    Large-scale water conservancy power stations are also under steadily construction.


    After industrial production capacity gradually recovered, it began to tilt towards the military direction.


    The quality of life among the people is slightly worse, as long as you can get by it.


    As for other cities... there is actually no way to conduct on-site investigations, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false.


    Like Ping''an City, the war has not ended yet, and there are only a little sporadic news so far.


    Humans’ minimum requirements for them are: Don’t revoke the safe zone randomly! As long as you don’t lure the [demon] over, you will follow you whenever you fight.


    For example, cities like Cape Tun are still warlords fighting.


    But Cape Tun is also very important. A vein called "Diamond Crystal" was found there, which is an ideal energy that can be used in industry!


    And Old Deli City...


    "We in India and our three countries are well-trained and experienced in restoring production capacity. Whether it is a high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius or a low temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, our workers have a high degree of professionalism and willpower in any situation."


    "So you don''t have to worry! We are developing a large missile with high accuracy and can produce huge explosions." The old man with brown skin kept boasting and making a promise. "We are confident that we will defeat our opponents within 24 hours."


    Professor Zhang Hui always feels that he is bragging.


    Hey, will this missile explode halfway? God cannot know the answer.


    Of course, there are also several cities that have done practical things.


    For example, Dongjincheng, the most enthusiastic, is building a "super floating fortress". They have sent detailed videos and photos - a war weapon that uses extraordinary objects to float in the sky.


    Its tonnage reached five million tons!


    A veritable giant.


    Zhang Hui actually doesn’t like the people in Dongjincheng very much, but this floating fortress is indeed very important.


    Sini City is also doing similar things, smaller fortresses as tools of future war.


    There is also the main force against [Demon], Zero Bocheng, who is also crazily producing weapons and equipment.


    Digtiet, a spokesperson for Zero Bo City, said: "We are engraving a large-scale temperature control glyph. I also hope that my friends can implement the next plan with a down-to-earth basis! This is related to the future of all mankind!"


    As for the glyphic technology... there has also been a pretty good development.


    After all, mathematics is ready-made knowledge for major scientists and does not require learning from scratch.


    Several talents who can carve and carve texts have also appeared in major cities.


    The most important glyph is indeed "temperature regulation".


    Although this function is simple, it can effectively restrain the ability of [Demon·Frost Frost].


    …


    …


    The exchange meeting ended like this, and real and fake news were mixed together, making it difficult to tell how the cities were developing.


    Zhang Hui seriously suspects that many cities are actually unwilling to cancel the safe zone, but they are just making false statements.


    But...so what?


    Humans cannot be trapped in safe areas.


    There are always people who want to fight, rush out of prison, and move towards the future!


    "But how to rush into the future still needs to be planned well. The worst thing must be done, with only a few cities planning to participate in the war."


    "Dingling", the cell phone on the table rang.


    It is the top leader of Yunhai City, and the call came from Li Chunhong.


    Zhang Hui did not dare to neglect and quickly connected.


    The other party''s voice seemed a little tired: "How is the international conference?"


    "Hi, it''s still the same thing. Dongjin City and Zero Bo City are the most enthusiastic, and other cities are lukewarm... There is nothing special about it."


    "Where is Li Jun? Have you made a breakthrough?"


    "I just broke through level 3 and rushed to challenge the twin sycamore trees."


    "Okay, I hope he can succeed." Li Chunhong asked another conventional question, "Is there any news over Lu Yuan?"


    “No, it’s a pity.”


    Everyone was very busy. After a few simple conversations, they hung up the phone.


    Zhang Hui was stunned for a while. Since Lu Yuan disappeared, he could not see the direction he was moving forward.


    It’s not that Lu Yuan’s remaining things are not enough. These materials are enough for humans to develop for a long time. At least ten or twenty years, humans can still use them. However, as time goes by, he increasingly doubts whether humans live in Pangu continent for a long time.


    Whether it is a strange phenomenon or other hostile civilizations... Without the guidance of the predecessors, relying on humans alone to explore, the fault tolerance rate is indeed a bit lower.


    Zhang Hui sighed and asked Li Ran, the person in charge of the "Road Finding Plan".


    "Have Lu Yuan''s contacts earned money?"


    "Since the last time he captured his sister into a dream, there has been no news. At that time, he said that he met some indigenous people who were of the same origin as humans and became tribal chiefs."


    Zhang Hui laughed, this is understandable.


    A person is still too lonely. When he meets a human species of the same genus, being a chief is also a good choice.


    "Oh, by the way, he took the time to go back to the Lize Civilization, bought a lot of weapons, and then left in a hurry. He never showed up again after that."


    "It has been 30 years since it was converted into the outside world."


    Thirty years...


    The outside world is really changing.


    It can be imagined that this time ratio will continue.


    Zhang Hui asked a series of questions: "Can you still contact him? It''s good to ask about his current situation."


    "He led the natives, maybe they would settle in one place for a long time, right? Will he never... not come back?"


    "This kind of connection is difficult." Li Ran shook her head.


    The more you know, the more you don’t know. The water in Pangu Continent is too deep.


    At the beginning, when humans knew nothing, they still dared to send some information in their dreams.


    But now, as time passes quickly, the monsters are also increasing.


    The joint action of the "Road Finding Plan" has been completely terminated.


    Especially foreign dream workers, they are not willing to take big risks and make meaningless dream contacts.


    Human beings are indeed very realistic creatures. Although the value of connecting with Lu Yuan may be very high, if it is too difficult and may even kill themselves, then no one is willing to do it.


    "But... there is another way." Li Ran smiled and crossed her fingers, "If you want, you can use the milestone reward..."


    "Spreading the extraordinary fire" may be a milestone that "gods" prefer, and the rewards are relatively rich.


    The reward of more than one hundred is a mysterious extraordinary creature - the "Twin Sycamore Tree"!


    [Twin sycamore trees, high and extraordinary life, absorb the power of dreams to grow. The more people in the city, the faster they grow. 】


    [Ability: twin dreams. 】


    This is a tree the size of a bowl, with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of about 8.7 meters. The emerald green leaves cover the sky and the sun, and the tree is tall and straight, with a unique charm of the legendary "Fengqianwutong".


    The ability of "Twin Dreams" is very magical. Its general function is: in dreams, humans can connect with this sycamore tree and resonate with it.


    Human "dream energy" will be transformed into nutrients for the growth of the sycamore tree.


    At the same time, a small number of people will gain its favor.


    These people are called "the favorites of the sycamore trees" and have received a significant increase in the speed of cultivation!


    This milestone reward is indeed quite excellent, and it can continuously cultivate talents without consuming any additional resources.


    Of course, for the moment, there is still a big problem.


    It is quite difficult to get the "favor" of the sycamore tree. Only a few dream-capable people have reached a preliminary connection with the twin sycamore tree, and no one else can rely on the power of the sycamore tree.
