Chapter 469: Two more cities come to another city?


    Lu Yuan took a few deep breaths, suppressed his doubts, called the contact number, and held an emergency safety meeting.


    Soon many experts, scholars, soldiers, and government officials came to the conference room.


    "Dear comrades, our investigative team members discovered a snake man palace, which may be the culprit for the ghost hitting the wall."


    "The opportunity for us to escape this strange situation may be here. Please see the photos and videos."


    Everyone looked serious and stared at each frame, trying to analyze more information.


    After a while, someone said, "This palace looks very old, but it can still fly in the sky... How powerful is its energy system?"


    The speaker is Sands of the Engineering Department: "I think these snake people may be alive, maybe they are just basking in the sun?"


    "If there is no manual maintenance, no matter how powerful the power system is, it will be defeated by time."


    He added: "Even quantum civilization has to arrange a great spiritual person in the flying saucer. This palace cannot be more powerful than quantum civilization."


    "Maybe..." Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, "The so-called idealistic system cannot be observed from the surface."


    Immediately afterwards, another botany expert, Ms. Lu Yueyue, pointed to the photo and said, "This type of red flower is a type that has never appeared. It is called Mandala Flower, a name with mythological color."


    "Our investigators, the strange petals found on the grassland a few days ago should be this kind of flower."


    The mysterious palace is suspended in the sky and drifts with the wind.


    Flowers in the entire city naturally also have metabolism. After the petals wither, they fall on the grass and are picked up by humans.


    But humans have never figured out which tree these flowers fell from, and now they finally figured out where they originated, which is actually in the sky.


    After the mandala flower witheres, it is as big as a palm, withered yellow and brown, like the color of blood drying up.


    The results after the appraisal are even more shocking.


    [Mandala flower, a mysterious plant, unknown origin. In some myths and legends, the mandala flower is also called the flower of the underworld. 】


    [Its fruit has unique and extraordinary characteristics. After use, it greatly accelerates the life cycle of smart creatures and greatly improves the soul strength and mental resistance of the eater. (Inferior quality · natural wonder)]


    "Inferior quality...is this just inferior quality?!" Lu Yuan''s forehead sweated.


    The increased soul strength is equivalent to improving the "god" attribute. Is this thing just inferior?


    “Yes, it’s really a inferior grade because its side effects are so great.”


    Lu Yueyue explained: "The meaning of significantly accelerating the life cycle...is that life expectancy will be reduced at an unimaginable rate."


    "To give a simple example, if a human baby eats the fruits of mandala flowers for a long time, he will spend youth, middle age and old age in just a few years. During the whole process, the divine attributes will indeed increase rapidly, but the lifespan will be concentrated to just a few years. It is equivalent to exchanging divine attributes with lifespan."


    "Under normal circumstances, the natural improvement of the divine attributes brought about by cultivation will bring about an increase in life span. However, the improvement after eating the mandala fruit will bring about a significant decrease in life span."


    "This is a unique mechanism problem, so there is no way to reduce side effects... Therefore, the evaluation of items is only inferior."


    "Will that not be used to raise mutated animals and extraordinary animals? For example, laying hens?" An animal expert had a sudden idea.


    Extraordinary animals have low fertility and the probability of inheritance is also very low. How to breed on a large scale has always been a headache. With this thing, it may produce miraculous effects?


    "No, no!" Lu Yueyue said, "The accelerated life cycle does not mean that the growth and development cycles will also be accelerated. If humans eat for a long time, most people will die within 5 years, and a few masters will die within 20 years. At that time, they were still children a few years old, equivalent to a little old man who was one meter tall and was about to die of old age."


    "It also has this big problem to cultivate animals. I die too quickly and haven''t even produced meat."


    "Looking at this way... the value of this mandala flower has been greatly reduced." Lu Yuan shook his head, and then his heart jumped heavily.


    "No, it is not worthless!" Lao Mao said coldly, "It can even be said that the value is beyond imagination!"


    The conference room suddenly fell silent.


    The subtext of the old cat is very simple - raise it!


    Humans are born with viviparous maturity, and have a late sexual maturity age and a low reproduction rate, which is not suitable for raising mandala flowers; but what about those intelligent species born with egg maturity age and have a high reproduction rate? They only need one or two years to mature and lay eggs and reproduce the next generation.


    Generally speaking, cultivating the divine attributes to above 5 o''clock requires education, experience, and social cultivation, but now there is no need to... just eat fruits, which is equivalent to some form of quick success.


    Thinking of this, when everyone looked at the snake people, they couldn''t help but sweat all over. This purpose was too dark and even brought some inexplicable despair to people.


    After a long time, everyone sighed and their eyes looked at those photos became meaningful...


    After a while, the old cat said, "Is there another possibility that this ancient city was not the culprit that trapped us here?"


    "They were just like us, and they were stuck here for a whole year, and finally completely extinct by the Era disaster."


    "As for these mandala flowers and snake species, I don''t need to talk about it anymore... [Monster] It is not surprising that you have shallow intelligence, and it is not surprising to raise intelligent life."


    The statement was actually even darker, and the temperature in the conference room was reduced by several degrees.


    Will humans become like this?


    It would be too tragic if [Monster]''s patience is so good that he can last for an era.


    People have no way to find the enemy hidden in a different space. They can only be erased by the Era disaster, and their descendants are raised and become permanent captive animals.


    “It is indeed impossible to rule out this factor.”


    Lu Yuan grabbed his hair from his temples and his chest was undulating.


    No, there is no way!


    He thought to himself that if this situation really happens, he can only place his hopes on the space glyph of the Immortal Palace...


    He is now researching alone, and the progress is slow, but as long as he takes it out and all humans study it together, the research speed will be greatly improved - of course, doing so is just jumping from one fire pit to another.


    "Even if you use the Immortal Palace Glyph, the risk is extremely high, and you must escape!"


    At this moment, the investigation department once again sent an emergency report.


    "Report! We... seem to have discovered another floating city!"


    Lu Yuan''s scalp suddenly became numb. If he didn''t notice it, just forget it, why did it come in a series of times?


    What a **** place?


    Other experts also changed their faces slightly and thought of the possibility of worsening.


    Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ying from the Investigation Department hurriedly said, "No, no, no, this time it should be a normal civilization..."


    "The other party also disguised himself as a cloud, located at a distance of 7,000 kilometers."


    "It just seems that they have been trapped here for a long time. The whole city needs maintenance, so they landed on the ground."


    "The city has an area of ??about 150 square kilometers, and is divided into 5 floors in total, which is more layered than our Green City. The population is unknown, the civilization level is unknown, and the species is... similar to bird people, with feathered wings on their bodies, and can glide briefly in the air."


    "The urban landscape is mainly materialistic, with fewer glyphs, but there are some. We strongly suspect that before we came to Pangu Continent, their technology was more developed...."


    Photos of this exotic civilized city were quickly sent to the big screen in the conference room.


    Good guy, it’s really...the style of futuristic science fiction!


    All kinds of cars are densely packed like ants, and the number is very large. The skyscrapers are lined up one after another, and the solar panels reflect bright sunlight. You should know that solar panels are a typical high-energy-consuming industry. Only by building photovoltaic power stations on a large scale can this part of the cost be recovered.


    The population of humans is small, and the solar panels they own are developed based on glyphs, while the solar panels in this city are pure materialism.


    There are also buildings in the shape of bird''s nests, which seem to be gymnasiums? A group of birds were playing in the gymnasium.


    Obviously, these are all good buildings built before coming to Pangu Continent. Because after coming to Pangu Continent, his living conditions were worrying, so how could he have so much time to build a large stadium?


    Even if human civilization is like this, which requires the cultivation of a large number of children, it is unwilling to build a super-large stadium, so it would be nice to have some standard stadiums!


    With his own experience, Lu Yuan realized at a glance that this was indeed a very normal civilization.


    Because some details in life are difficult to forge - this floating city similar to cyberpunk is in line with the model of population life and in line with conventional logic.


    Comparing with the snake man palace that makes people feel cold in their hearts after a glance, this bird man civilization is like a harmless baby for humans and animals.


    The creatures of this civilization are indeed birdmen, with heads that look like eagles, sharp eyes, and a bird''s beak on their mouth, but their hair is blue.


    They have both hands, feet and wide wings, able to glide in the air.


    Now it seems that it is the time to get off work, and many birds jump directly down from the top of the tall buildings - they seem to be very accustomed to this mode of transportation flying from the sky, which leads to the buildings in the city being generally very high.


    The lower the birds seem to be poorer, because the species'' wings are just gliding, not flying, and it seems that they cannot take off directly from the flat ground.


    Therefore, the distribution of the gap between the rich and the poor is very simple. The richer the individual lives in the higher the level; the poorer the individual lives in the lower level.


    "Is this civilization like us? Is it a bad luck trapped here..."


    Lu Yuan thought in his heart: "I don''t know how many years they have been sleepy and how much do they know about the Snake Man Palace..."


    Others in the conference room also analyzed these videos and photos.


    I don’t know what my mind was that a bad guy was with me, and the tension of being raised suddenly disappeared a lot.


    Lu Yuan himself couldn''t understand how this mentality appeared?


    "What''s this? I was locked in a pigpen and found another big fat pig looking at me, which further caused gloating?"


    Everyone was burning with firewood and soon, everyone discovered more clues.


    "This is indeed a civilization with a large gap between the rich and the poor. Have you seen it? There are beggars and some poor people here, sleeping in parks and bridges."


    "Their population density is very large, with a conservative estimate of 800 to 10 million people. Most of the population has very little living space and lives in the bottom of the city."


    "However, the civilization should have some technological strength. There seems to be some social relief here, which means they still have a certain degree of social consensus and fault tolerance mechanism."


    "There should be some understanding of Pangu Continent... Otherwise, there would be no floating city."


    In some of the photos, people saw some suspicious missile silos, and some soldiers were standing guard.


    "The civilization with relatively developed materialism has a large gap between the rich and the poor, but it still retains a certain degree of social consensus..." Lu Yuan outlined a rough urban portrait in his heart, "I don''t know what the political system is..."


    Social consensus and fault tolerance mechanism are very important for a civilization.


    Although civilized battle for hegemony is the theme of the times, personal life is closely related.


    The fault tolerance mechanism can give life a minimum guarantee, which is a kind of civilized progress at the factual level. After all, there is no such mechanism in the feudal era and the slave era.


    "So this civilization looks a bit loose, but in fact it should still have some combat power..."


    Everyone was a little excited. This was the first time they had encountered a relatively developed civilization in nature. I don’t know which one is stronger than the other? Especially in the field of idealism, human beings are real third-level civilizations.


    Everyone has a competitive spirit, but everyone is not showing it on their faces.


    "Grand Commander, do you need to bet with them?" Colonel Jin Dongliang asked with his hands ready to go.


    Lu Yuan hesitated a little: "I think it is not very appropriate to have the current situation... peaceful communication is the best."


    The purpose of gambling is to prevent war from breaking out between the two sides. Now trapped in this prairie, the probability of war has been greatly reduced.


    Even if you beat the opponent to the death and defeat the opponent, what can you do? There is no way to get out of trouble!


    What''s more, this place may be a territory of [Monster]. If both sides lose money and both sides take the opportunity to attack, the trouble will be great - by then both sides will become pigs in the pigpen and be raised together.


    Professor Lu Tiantian raised his hand and signaled: "My idea is... this civilization seems to be a technological civilization with a pretty good innate foundation, and materialism may be better than us."


    "But in the field of idealism, we don''t need to underestimate ourselves."


    "If we want to establish a friendly relationship, we can test the other party''s strength and our understanding of Pangu Continent."


    "How to test it?"
