Chapter 616: Chapter 448: The Shadow of War Failure
The so-called blood relatives, the differences are really big.
In this day and age, some people have formed their own teams and built cities… If it weren’t witnessed firsthand, no one would believe it.
Some people have completely converted.
But there are also those who cherish kinship… But who can really tell?
Human attributes are inherently complex, many things are just a matter of thought.
“No matter how difficult it is, we must expand the united front, increase our friends, and decrease our enemies.”
Li Chunhong was deep in thought when suddenly, his phone rang.
From it, the voice of Professor Zhang Hui from the Supernatural Laboratory came: “Mr. Li, the Rize Civilization has sent a communication request! Representatives from other human cities are also online, seems like important matters are to be discussed.”
He was invigorated: “Okay, I’m coming!”
An important meeting appeared on the communicator between humans and the Rize Civilization.
As various delegates logged on, the lizard men formally announced their resolution on the screen: “Esteemed Human Civilization, greetings. We have made an important decision!”
“Assuming there are no major changes, all our Rize cities will collectively open up the Safe Zones and build their own Sky City in the latter half of this year!”
“We have planned this for a long time, and it is time to start a new journey.”
“… (some formal government documents)”
Having a comparison, the human side couldn’t help but fall into a unique silence.
Lizard people… far ahead of humans!
“Won’t you continue observing for a while?” Professor Dimo from Old Delhi, stroking his big beard in front of the screen said, “It’s only been over two hundred years outside, no rush right?”
Governor Leon of Rize Civilization, Eighth Branch, made a gesture: “Friends of humanity, I possess the ability of foreknowledge, I can sense some information from the unknown…”
“I believe, now is a generally peaceful good time, anomalies have not yet grown, and civilization conflicts are not intense.”
“Everything is changing.”
“The Ninth Epoch, compared to previous epochs, might have a shorter lifespan.”
“Time is precious, and opportunities are rare.”
“My civilization and Mr. Lu Yuan have completed some trades, the extraordinary resources are not so scarce, hence by the latter half of the year we will also rise to Level 2 for all citizens, and also be able to train a few Level 4 Masters.”
“Our civilization’s number of craftsmen is also significant, and the army is ready, the time is ripe and we cannot wait any longer.”
The other Rize people agreed, this is where the Rize Civilization outperforms humans.
When Lu Yuan was trading with the Shu Mi Dam Civilization, Rize Civilization happened to be nearby.
These lizards profited, just selling “Sealing Resin” made them a lot of money, all exchanged for consumables, materials, used to enhance strength.
As for humans… without such chance, so poor, they could only secretly envy and covet.
Governor Leon said again: “The construction of the large Sky Cities will have a substantial demand for steel and concrete. It may take fifty years to complete this task.”
“We have already prepared specific division of labor and worker training.”
“After the city is constructed, we will officially set out, searching for our own opportunities.”
“Which direction are you planning to head towards?” Professor Edward from New York City asked, “The same direction as Mr. Lu?”
“This… has not been decided… have to wait until the city is established.”
“But ordinarily, we have no need to head in the same direction. The opportunities in that direction have already been picked clean…”
It’s evident, the Rize Civilization still has some ambitious aspirations, not willing to follow behind Green Grass City and eat dust.
And the distance between the two is very far, chasing over who knows would take an age
“Oh, right, we have already built a small Floating Fortress, the first few trial flights have been successful already… I believe these Floating Fortresses will be able to help us counter the crises.”
The lizard people also sent a special video over.
That Floating Fortress, is actually the spacecraft left by the Great Lai Empire, modified version.
The Great Lai Empire left a total of four ships, Lu Yuan moved one, so there are three left!
Two years passed, it’s already fully armed, various dark metallic luster barrels, also installed with intercontinental missiles, mid-to-long range missiles, nuclear weapons, various drones, laser weapons, and so on.
It’s simply a fully equipped Space Carrier!
This scene made all humans stunned… If they had such a thing at home, they would have gone to war with the outside [Demons] long ago!
The lizard people are also very confident, all smiles.
Another lizard man slightly bowed, hands crossed on his chest: “Friends of humanity, before we leave this Safe Zone, we need to destroy the Communicator. Thus, communications in the next six months can only rely on the Dream ability of the Opium Poppy provided by Mr. Lu Yuan.”
“It may not be as convenient, but having a means of communication is better than having none.”
“Also hoping our friendship can last forever…”
Humans on this side suddenly understood, the Rize people want to contact Lu Yuan to report on their situation…
After all, everyone is in a friendly alliance, such a friendship should not be abruptly interrupted.
But this kind of ultra-long-distance communication may need to consume the Ideal Energy from the Opium Poppy, so the lizard people are really embarrassed, so they simply roped in humans.
“We can indeed connect from Yunhai City here, do you need to connect now?” Li Chunhong asked.
