"Light curtain!" "Bang, bang, bang!" The red light on the surface of 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 sneaks up, it still can't withstand bullets. "I don't know what the effect of level 4 is..." Many researchers talked about it. "According to the information passed back by Instructor Lu, there is a big threshold from level 3 to level 4. No matter how talented you are, without a lot of resources, it will take several years or even decades." "That's really long." "If everyone cultivates their level, the legendary high-level martial arts world will be like this..." There are still many young people in the institute, and everyone began to imagine the future.
However, some are happy, and some are sad. Young people can think wildly, and those who are in charge are simply worried. Zhang Hui, the general manager of the institute, 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 indefinitely..." What's more, the level of extraordinary is related to life expectancy. The truth that it is not the lack of resources that is worrying, but the inequality of resources, 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 big, everyone may have conflicts." He looked at the peach tree in the institute... Well, it's about the thickness of an arm. A tree wants to support the cultivation resources of the entire city? What a fantasy!
...After testing for more than an hour, Li Jun was a little tired. He wiped his sweat and his face was indescribably excited. Of course, he knew that his data was still not as good as Lu Yuan's. When Lu Yuan contacted the lizard man, humans already knew that Lu Yuan was a master of the extraordinary level 3. Now...it should be at least level 4. From a certain perspective, it is not necessarily a bad thing to have a stronger person suppressing him. At least, it gave everyone the motivation to catch up. "I will continue to work hard and move towards a higher goal. I will strive to cultivate to level 4 as quickly as possible!" "Good ambition." Zhang Hui smiled bitterly. "Level 4 requires the opening of meridians. We have to find a way to study this matter."
With the information sent by Lu Yuan, the road ahead is almost smooth. They just need to practice step by step. The only problem is resources... The resources are really too few and too poor. After resting for a while, Li Jun suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Professor Zhang, since I have reached level 3, I must organize people as soon as possible to conquer that sycamore tree!" "I will find a way to solve the problem of insufficient extraordinary resources." Zhang Hui nodded: "Go ahead." Yunhai City selects the strongest genius from 10 million people and invests a lot of resources. Naturally, it is impossible for it to be just for the sake of face. Twin sycamore trees, a mysterious big tree - Yunhai City's current biggest opportunity and challenge! … After Li Jun left, the screen of the communicator lit up and made a "buzzing" vibration sound. Contacting international friends is also a basic daily routine in the institute. "Hello, friends. We have a good news here today." Zhang Hui briefly revealed that the progress of Yunhai City has aroused the envy of other cities. The gap between cities has widened rapidly in the past six months. For example, the spread of extraordinary fire requires organizational ability. Yunhai City took more than a month to complete the full popularization of the population. But most cities have not been fully popularized even after half a year. Some cities with serious corruption still regard the spread of fire as a privilege. There are also cities... There is no fire... Several professors in Dongjin City felt heartbroken when they thought that others could live for hundreds of years, while they would die of old age in a few decades. Seeing others constantly leading, they are standing still... It is really painful. Of course, there are also a few cities that can keep up with the pace of Yunhai City. "Congratulations... Captain Smith here has also reached the limit of the second-level fire seed. He should be able to break through to level 3 in the next few days." Professor Edward from the sixth civilization branch, Newyue City, said with a smile. "It seems that 6 months is almost the maximum speed for the human species to cultivate to level 3 under the condition of investing a lot of resources." "That's right." "Since the best talent also needs six months, those with less talent may have to stretch it to decades, or even until death, and they will not be able to break through to level 3." Zhang Hui nodded: "Yes, the resource problem is imminent." It is not a very technical thing to use resources to build a level 3 warrior - after all, the road ahead is smooth, what difficulty can it have? It is difficult to popularize it among the whole people. After 6 months, there are only about 100 level 2 warriors, all of whom are top talents. But they only have talent, but actually can't enjoy any resources, so the progress is naturally slow.
At this rate of development, even if it takes a few hundred years to produce a dozen level three warriors and one or two level four warriors, that would be the limit. This outcome is no different from the Meda civilization. “If humans want to develop rapidly, they still have to leave the safe zone and enter the Pangu Continent.” But before leaving the safe zone, you must first defeat that dark cloud, that is, the [demon]. As a result, everyone discussed the recent industrial development and resource status. This can be considered a daily routine, everyone should supervise each other, and the crusade plan must be carried out as scheduled! Yunhai City is actually going quite smoothly. In just half a year, several power stations have been built to continuously provide electricity. Large hydropower stations are also being steadily constructed. After the industrial production capacity gradually recovered, it began to tilt in the military direction. The quality of life among the people is a little worse, but it just needs to be passable. As for other cities... In fact, there is no way to conduct on-the-spot investigation, and it is not clear whether it is true or false. Like Ping An City, the war is not over yet, and there is only a little sporadic news so far. The minimum requirement that humans have for them is: don’t cancel the safe zone indiscriminately! As long as you don't lure the [demon] over, I'll fight you as long as you want. Another example is cities like Cape Tun, where warlords are still fighting. But Cape Tun is also very important. A mineral vein called "Diamond Crystal" was discovered there, which is a kind of spiritual energy that can be used in industry! And Old Delhi... "We, India and China, 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 brown-skinned old man kept boasting and making sure of it. "We are confident that we will defeat our opponent within 24 hours." Professor Zhang Hui always feels like he is bragging. Hey, will this missile explode halfway? God cannot know the answer. Of course, there are also a few cities that have actually done something practical. For example, Dongjin City, which is the most enthusiastic, is building a "super suspended fortress", and they have sent detailed videos and photos - a war weapon that uses extraordinary items to levitate in the air. Its tonnage reached five million tons! A veritable behemoth. Zhang Hui actually doesn't like the people in Dongjin City very much, but this floating fortress is indeed very important. The city of Sydney was doing something similar, with smaller forts as future tools of war. There is also the main force against the [demon], Lingbo City, which is also frantically producing weapons and equipment. The spokesperson of Lingbo City, Digdit said: "We are engraving temperature control glyphs on a large scale. I also hope that all friends can implement the next plan in a down-to-earth manner! This is related to the future of all of us!"
As for the glyph technology... it has also made pretty good progress. After all, mathematics is ready-made knowledge for major scientists, and there is no need to learn it from scratch. In major cities, there are also a few talents who can carve carvings and engravings. The most important glyph is indeed "Temperature Regulation". Although this function is simple, it can effectively restrain the ability of [Demon·Frost Rain]. … … The exchange meeting ended like this. True news and false news were mixed together, making it impossible to tell how each city was developing. Zhang Hui seriously suspects that many cities are actually unwilling to revoke safe zones and are just giving in. But...so what? Humanity cannot remain trapped in a safe zone. There are always people who want to fight, break out of prison, and move towards the future! "But when we rush into the future, we still need to plan carefully. We must do the worst and plan to have only a few cities participating in the war." "Ding, ding, ding," the cell phone on the table rang. It was a call from the top leader of Yunhai City, Li Chunhong. Zhang Hui did not dare to neglect and quickly connected. The other party's voice sounded a little tired: "How about the international conference?" "Hey, it's still the same old story. Tojin City and Lingbo City are the most active, while other cities are tepid... nothing special." "Where is Li Jun? Has he broken through?" "I just broke through the third level, so I'm going to challenge the Twin Sycamore Trees in a hurry." "Okay, I hope he can succeed." Li Chunhong asked another customary question, "Is there any news from Lu Yuan?" "No, unfortunately." We were all busy people, so we chatted briefly and then hung up the phone. Zhang Hui was in a daze for a while. Ever since Lu Yuan, the "backbone of mankind", disappeared, he couldn't see the way forward. It’s not that Lu Yuan left behind not enough things. These materials are enough for human development for a long time, at least ten or twenty years. Human beings will still be able to use it. However, as time goes by, he There are growing doubts about whether humans have lived in Pangea for a long time. Whether it's a vision, or other hostile civilizations... without seniors to lead the way, and just relying on humans to explore alone, the error tolerance rate is indeed a bit low. Zhang Hui sighed and asked Li Ran, the person in charge of the "Roadfinding Project". "Has the contact with Lu Yuan been successful?"
"Since the last time he captured his sister in a dream, there has been no news. At that time, he said that he met some indigenous people there who were of the same origin as humans and became a tribal chief." Zhang Hui laughed, which is understandable. It is still too lonely to be alone. When you meet a human species of the same species, becoming a chief is also a good choice. "Oh, by the way, he also took the time to return to the Rize civilization, bought a lot of weapons, and then left in a hurry. He never appeared again after that." "Converted to the time of the outside world, it has been a full 30 years." Thirty years... The outside world has really changed a lot. It is conceivable that this time ratio will continue. Zhang Hui asked a series of questions: "Can we still contact him? It would be good to ask about his recent situation." "Leading the indigenous people, maybe he will settle in one place for a long time? Will he never... come back again?" "This kind of contact is difficult." Li Ran shook his head. The more you know, the more you don't know. The water of Pangu Continent is too deep. At the beginning, when humans didn't know anything, they dared to send some information in dreams. But now, with the rapid passage of time, monsters are also growing stronger. The joint action of the "Path Finding Plan" has been completely terminated. Especially foreign dream workers, they are not willing to take big risks and make some meaningless dream contacts. Humans are indeed very realistic creatures. Although the value of contacting Lu Yuan may be very high, if it is too difficult and may even kill oneself, no one will be willing to do it. "But... there is another way." Li Ran smiled and crossed his fingers, "If you are willing, you can use the milestone reward..." "Spreading the extraordinary fire" may be a milestone that "God" values more, and the rewards are relatively rich. The reward for more than 100 people is a mysterious extraordinary creature-"Twin Wutong Tree"! [Twin Wutong Tree, a high-level extraordinary life, absorbs the power of dreams to grow. The more the city population, the faster it grows. ] [Ability: Twin Dream. ] This is a bowl-sized tree with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of about meters. The emerald green leaves cover the sky and the tree is tall and straight. There is a peculiar charm of the legendary "Phoenix Perched Wutong". The ability of "Twin Dream" is very magical. Its general function is: in dreams, humans can connect with this Wutong tree and resonate with it. The "dream energy" of humans will be transformed into nutrients for the growth of the paulownia tree. At the same time, a small number of people will be favored by it. These people are called "paulownia tree favored people" and get a significant bonus to their cultivation speed! This milestone reward is indeed quite excellent, and it can continuously cultivate talents without consuming any additional resources.
Of course, for now, there is still a big problem. It is quite difficult to gain the "favor" of the paulownia tree. Only a few dream ability users have reached a preliminary connection with the twin paulownia trees, and others cannot use the power of the paulownia tree.
