Chapter 564: The Ambition of a Fourth-level Civilization_2
This presentation indeed looks quite excellent.
But it's not a "Myth", it always feels like something is missing.
Stormbrew feels a bit awkward, not quite sure what to say, but if the Master Craftsman assures us that a solution will be found within a month, do we have any reason to doubt?
"Well, let's wait. In a short while, the fourth gambling match will begin."
...
...
At this very moment in Green Grass City, Lu Yuan is discussing the "No Entropy Element" field creation method with over two hundred craftsmen.
The discussion is lively, and the atmosphere is friendly.
"We only have a brief month, and the task is quite arduous! It really worries me."
The Entropy Element is like a catalyst in a chemical reaction, and without it, the field can still be created, but its difficulty is increased manifold.
"The first method is to imitate 'Farmer No.1' to generate a field."
"Compare!" The Big Locust Valley shook its strong hind legs, emitting a "Mushroom Field".
Lu Yuan is reviewing the complex engravings on this locust, and after a long time, he himself has somewhat forgotten them.
"However, 'Farmer No.1' has its own uniqueness. Although those Insect Shells are only of low-quality grade materials, I discovered traces of life in them, thus reviving them in a way."
"Currently, the materials are provided by the Dwarves, and we cannot expect those materials to just happen to have similar traces."
Only a very small amount of materials have historical imprints.
The probability of appearing on animals is far greater than on plants.
"Changing the catalyst is a pretty good plan." A Blue Peng Craftsman showcased the latest research results.
In this data, people actually found a cheaper catalytic product, such as something called the "Alcohol Element".
The "Alcohol Element" is relatively inexpensive, being a commonly existing element in life; scientists discovered that it is a major branch of the Life Attribute element and has uses for soul repair.
Many extraordinary spirit wines exhibit beneficial supernatural effects on the human body, which is the work of the "Alcohol Element".
It is not as universally applicable as the Entropy Element; the field created has a very small radius, less than 10 centimeters — such a tiny field is quite pitiful.
"A fist-sized field cannot be shown off, cannot be shown off," Lu Yuan shook his head, "Put this plan aside."
"Then you can only use more advanced materials, such as the heartwood of the Opium poppy," another craftsman suggested.
High-end life attribute plant materials can only be used to create a "Spirit Plant Field", with very poor universality, but the field is slightly larger, capable of expanding to 1 meter.
However, the cost-performance ratio is shocking: Creating a rare level, superior level with legendary materials.
"This kind of plan... cannot be shown off."
"The materials are provided by the other party. To directly request legendary materials... the gambling might be won, but the face of this Grandmaster can't afford to lose it."
Lu Yuan wore a bitter expression, showing off briefly might be satisfying, but the aftermath could be troublesome.
Should have really requested a time span of 5 years.
He lamented, "What the audience wants to see, everyone should understand."
"They only want to witness great miracles and do not consider that a clever woman cannot cook without rice."
The people burst into laughter, with a sense of schadenfreude.
Seeing Commander Lu embarrassed is rare indeed.
Craftsman Li Datie said, "Commander, lucky you didn't display several titles. The Monster Slayer, the Demon Slayer... otherwise, their expectations would be higher."
"Ahem, that's why expectation management is crucial..." Lu Yuan sighed, "Just like the Great Dong Country's stock market in the past. When expectations are high, the probability is high open, low close; only when expectations are low, it might open low and close high. So everyone still needs to hide our trump cards, play dumb, and outsmart others."
"Don't think we can save the world, do the best we can, and that's enough."
The people laughed again.
Only the proud Lanpeng people did not laugh.
This group of Birdmen values face more than anyone else, and even wept sadly, considering themselves committing a grave sin by not being able to help. This behavior can only be explained as a cultural difference, as the Lanpeng people are a proud race.
Lu Yuan could only comfort them, "As long as we have a way, it's fine! After all, it's my face on the line, not yours."
Shu Gongye stroked his beard, "The current greatest potential is still in field toolification. If we have this thing, I believe even without the Entropy Element, it's worth a try."
Tools are crucial!
Current human craftsman tools, apart from traditional hammers, saws, and files, also include various intelligent machine tools, microscopic amplification instruments, and even some "telekinesis" control devices.
The diversity of tools is, in fact, an important means for the improvement of craftsmen's skills.
Under such thinking, the "field" can naturally also become a forging tool, using a field to influence a field, theoretically feasible and with immense potential.
Many craftsmen are engaged in research in this area.
"However, we are only just beginning to develop field toolification, and remote water cannot quench immediate thirst." Lu Yuan scratched his scalp with frustration, "Forget it, you guys discuss it first, come up with some plans for me."
"I'll go out for a walk, gather some inspiration. My reputation is counting on you all to retrieve from the ground! I'm off!"
Lu Yuan carelessly waved his hand and slammed the door shut with a "bang", leaving only the people inside speechless.
...
He turned a corner and saw Miss Conch waiting a bit bored at the end of the corridor. She was wearing a pink T-shirt, revealing her fair and tender arms and the curve of her ample chest, with jeans and white canvas shoes on her lower body.
Upon seeing a beauty, Lu Yuan was always in a pleasant mood, "Did my performance satisfy you?"
Miss Conch rolled her eyes, "You haven't finished the match yet, talk after you win, okay?"
The two walked hand in hand to the top of the Opium poppy.
The Northern Territory scenery, frozen over a thousand miles, with the snow-covered plains unfolding like a pure and mysterious painting.
The sky was a deep blue, seemingly cleansed by ice and snow, clear and transparent.
The sun drooped on the horizon, casting gentle golden rays, dyeing the boundless snowy plains with a warm amber hue.
The victory in a gambling match boosted the confidence of the people in Green Grass City.
The trading market 10 kilometers away expanded once again, and to increase efficiency, quite a few workers from other races were hired. Cement factories and steel factories continually produced infrastructure items.
Perhaps, in just a few years, this place will become a national metropolis.
The Human Government is broadcasting emergency safety regulations, instructing citizens not to disclose information, including but not limited to the Opium poppy, the Greedy Demon God, and the Deformed Ghost in the UFO. Those who leak information will face penalties ranging from a few days of detention to several years of imprisonment, depending on the severity.
This is an inevitable matter; humans have too much privacy, and to avoid trouble, most citizens in Green Grass City remain isolated from other races.
However, humans can share short videos on the internet, play games with alien races, and publish articles, and all content must be approved by an AI named "Green Elf".
"I hope we can become a true fourth-level civilization within two hundred years..." Miss Conch blinked her beautiful big eyes and made a praying gesture with her hands clasped together.
Just then, a meteor streaked across the sky, crashing into the distant horizon.
She quickly made a wish, "Reaching a fourth-level civilization would achieve the standard of Green Grass Civilization... If the Green Grass People truly have souls in the heavens, they would definitely be gratified."
Even though Lu Yuan didn't feel much about such superstitions, he was filled with ambition watching the busy construction site, "We definitely can do it."
We can be regarded as a dominant force in this little corner!
The opportunity for humanity's rise is unexpectedly in this inconspicuous corner!
