Chapter 358: A Civilization Living on Corals
People still feel a little stressed when communicating with a powerful technological civilization.
Soon, Lu Yuan summoned more high-level government officials and military personnel to discuss security matters in the investigation room.
"Although the City in the Sky is large, it still has no way to defend against nuclear bombs so far... Although we have carved a large number of solid glyphs on the walls, there is still a possibility of sinking after being hit by a large number of hydrogen bombs."
The real ability to save lives can only be possessed by a third-level civilization or even a fourth-level civilization.
What's more, whether the unspoken rules of the Eighth Era have been spread is also a big question - the benefits brought by the war are too high, so people have to be on guard.
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples and said seriously: "Stop the rafting movement in Sky City and send a flying brigade to find the location of this civilization!"
"Be sure to hide yourself and return immediately after finding the opponent's location!"
"If people don't attack me, and I won't offend them, I can't attack rashly."
"yes!"
Flying Brigades are a combination of small Zerg warriors and human scouts.
There are only more than a hundred people in total, and the soldiers are more elite than too numerous. Each of these soldiers has "qi skills" in the direction of investigation, and they are all first-rate masters.
"If we find them, are we going to engage in a gambling battle?" Jin Dongliang is gearing up, "I think we are quite strong now, and the equipment is also up."
As a strong player in the field, he was somewhat ready to make a move.
"No, no!" Lu Tiantian was the first to object.
"The reason why the Shumiba civilization dares to engage in gambling is that they have the life-saving technology of the fourth-level civilization. Even if they break up, they can escape easily without any loss. They don't care at all about the death of those low-level rat people. "
"But we don't have life-saving technology. Once we go to war with technological civilization, the consequences will be disastrous."
"It's not that we can't win...if the city is contaminated by nuclear weapons, we will be in big trouble..."
"That's right." Another superthinker, Sha Mo, also agreed. "This set of gambling rules was born under extremely harsh circumstances. Up to now, the environment has not been that bad."
"If we didn't intend for war, there would be no need to forcefully promote it."
The Shumiba civilization really planned to go to war at that time... If humans were too weak, they would eat them all!
The rat people are not afraid of nuclear bombs or the like. If they hide in the soil, what about nuclear bombs?
But humans are different.
Just because the other side is also technologically advanced, if a war breaks out between the two sides, both sides will lose.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, don't underestimate other civilizations. Like the Mandala Empire, even if it is a feudal civilization, its innate heritage is still good."
"We still don't have nuclear bombs, alas..."
The uranium mines dug by humans are mainly uranium-238, and atomic bombs require uranium-235, which seems very uncomfortable.
Experts believe that Pangea is older than the Earth. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years, while the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years. Therefore, the older the place, the lower the content of uranium-235.
Of course, the excess slow neutrons in the heavy water reactor can convert uranium-238 into plutonium-239. Plutonium-239 is the raw material for making atomic bombs, so given enough time, humans can also produce nuclear bombs, but not in too many quantities. . Anyway, this matter is quite troublesome. Pure physical technology has so many limitations.
"Also, do we need to activate our suspended fortress?" Colonel Guo Dafeng asked.
"Well, it is indeed necessary."
The mobility of the Sky City is really poor. It can only move a few kilometers per hour, making it a slow-moving target.
But for external contact, you have to send a ship or something, and have a serious and respectable base camp, right?
In civilized exchanges, face is equal to dignity!
To this end, engineers have spent the past few years carefully building a spare "floating fortress" with a scale of 100,000 tons for an aircraft carrier!
This suspended fortress also uses the anti-gravity system of Pandora crystals, as well as turbine engines, radar detection systems, etc., which can probably allow five thousand staff to survive in the suspended fortress for about half a year.
If necessary, it can also float on the water and be used as an aircraft carrier.
This aircraft carrier is the main base for external contacts. Even if it is bombed, the loss can barely be tolerated.
Just like that, after everything was ready, the floating fortress was officially launched.
Compared with the Sky City, it looks like a chicken, but its size of 100,000 tons is actually not bad. The deck alone is the size of three standard playgrounds.
Moreover, this thing can drift on the water at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and its maneuverability is pretty good.
Lines of soldiers were quickly screened out. Lu Yuan felt that there was no need to send too many soldiers, a thousand would be enough, but there should also be some experts to prevent things like "gambling" from happening.
Not long after, news came from the reconnaissance team: "The alien civilization has been found! A civilization that lives on coral, five hundred kilometers away from us! It was surrounded by a deliberately created cloud, so it was not discovered at first."
Everyone quickly developed the photos and looked at them carefully.
This peculiar civilization is about 500 kilometers away from here. The Gothic-style houses are located on large coral reefs.
They have hands and feet, some have scales, and some have fair skin and fewer scales.
The most important thing is that their faces and figures are actually quite in line with human aesthetics, just like the legendary mermaids.
Females look slim and elegant, while males have more scales and some fin-like structures on their legs, which allow them to swim faster in the water.
"Human subspecies... or fish-man race?" Lu Yuan's heart moved.
Humans are a very common race in Pangu Continent. People like Green People, Earth People, and Mandala Empire all belong to the human category.
Of course, even if they are of the same race, there is sometimes reproductive isolation.
Like Earth People and Green People, there is indeed reproductive isolation, so Lu Yuan and Conch may not be able to have children... Of course, this is not a big problem in the supernatural era.
The volume of this large coral reef is even larger than the Sky City. At first glance, it is more than 1,000 square kilometers!
A large part of it is hidden in a deliberately created thick fog.
This is the size of a county town in the Great Xia Kingdom, so there are quite a few fishmen active on the coral reef, estimated to be over a million.
"Hey... is this piece of coral floating on the water?" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly said, "In several photos, the position of the coral reef has changed a little."
