I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 615 - 447 Changes in the Human Mother Civilization

Chapter 615: Chapter 447 Changes in the Human Mother Civilization

“Clap, clap, clap!”

Many representatives burst into applause; it indeed was a monumental achievement.

Initially, they were concerned that the collapse of medical services and the scarcity of drugs would lead to a mass population demise, causing the collapse of order.

Unexpectedly, in the Supernatural era, the least of their worries turned out to be diseases, truly a dividend of the times.

The expert sent over a picture: “If we open up the Safe Zone and external bacteria and viruses invade, the average Level 1.4 Extraordinary Spark might be slightly affected.”

“Back then, Comrade Lu Yuan fell ill several times, with influenza, fever, and various insect-borne diseases.”

“At that time, he already possessed the Extraordinary Spark and was a strong young man, so he safely made it through, but we have quite a few middle-aged and elderly people here… It’s expected that the number of patients will surge in the short term, likely resulting in around 50,000 epidemic deaths.”

The crowd fell into some silence, the Great Dong Country was already suffering from severe aging, and 50,000 deaths… weren’t unacceptable, but should still be avoided if possible.

“Professor Guo, in your opinion, how much longer do we need to resolve this issue?” Li Chunhong asked.

“If the average Level could reach Level Two, I think that could significantly reduce it.”

Li Chunhong sighed deeply, the entire population reaching Level Two? Impossible!

Just like himself, of average talent, middle-aged, without resources it might take twenty to thirty years to naturally cultivate to Level Two!

Not everyone had an innate talent like General Li…

Li Chunhong said: “That’s definitely unattainable, what about an average of Level 1.5? How long would that take?”

The expert replied: “Given the current situation… it might take one or two years for the entire population to increase by 0.1 Level, and it will certainly get slower as it goes.”

The people were helpless, murmuring in low voices.

Poverty, that’s the key!

Especially after the exchange with Lu Yuan’s side, they realized the poverty within the Safe Zone…

“Let’s not complain anymore. Our situation here is still considered good, some cities don’t have Extraordinary Sparks and are in a worse state than us…”

“But we are indeed poor, God is blind, we have a large population but few mines.”

“Xini City has a small population but abundant mines, rich as can be.”

“Don’t envy others, we have a large Parasol Tree, isn’t that much better than the other cities?”

The current state of poverty was somewhat reminiscent of the former Earth, where the Great Dong Country had a large population and strong industry but lacked natural Mind mines!

All the good stuff was found in those mining cities… It was inevitable to harbor some resentment.

Li Chunhong shook his head helplessly and said: “Is the Floating Fortress in Dongjin City built yet? That’s the key to winning the war!”

An expert immediately responded: “Gathering the strength of an entire City, maybe it could be almost manufactured within two years… They still have some industrial capability.”

“Data sent last week shows that they have already started the buoyancy test.”

Since the cities are not interconnected, they couldn’t conduct on-site inspections; at most, they could only share videos and photos as proof that they were working hard.

As for the credibility of Dongjin City… indeed there is some, far stronger than The Yin Trio.

But if something went wrong, the leaders there would just bow and apologize, simply saying “sorry.”

They would not take any responsibility! Apologizing while making mistakes, that’s almost typical of human nature.

Li Chunhong coughed and knew such matters couldn’t be resolved by discussion, so he changed the topic: “How are our craftsmen preparing? The Engraving for resisting the cold… should have been researched by now, right?”

“Not so great…” the head of the engineering department shook his head, “Our materials here are scarce… no matter how hard the craftsmen work, it’s difficult without the right resources.”

“Most of the Extraordinary Materials we now have are provided by the Twin Ginkgo Tree, which have limited functions, at most they can only produce ‘Ordinary Level’ items.”

Everyone fell silent.

Li Chunhong also felt helpless, Comrade Lu Yuan had forged ‘Ordinary Level’ on his own a long time ago, how could an entire city still be stuck at Ordinary Level?

How difficult could it be?

However, he said nothing more about it; without leaving the Safe Zone, things could only progress this slowly, like a snail’s pace.

“I really want to leave the Safe Zone soon…”

“Are our Friendly Cities ready for the fight?”

Colonel Li Jun, the strongest in Yunhai City, smiled wryly: “Basically… not ready.”

Li Chunhong couldn’t help but twitch his cheeks: “We have already depleted our resources, what are they dawdling for?”

General Li replied: “Apart from Lingbo City and our Yunhai City meeting the expected progress, the progress of other cities is worse than expected.”

“The slowest is The Yin Trio, who are responsible for making cold-resistant Engravings.”

“But they volunteered and insisted on working on missiles.”

“As a result, the missile they tested last month exploded on the launch pad, killing many soldiers.”

“There are also Glorious Fighters. It seems like two of them have fallen from the sky… Anyway, I wouldn’t dare to fly them. We can only let them pilot themselves. Cough cough… In fact, we didn’t have much hope for them. We’ve got our own fighters, we don’t need any stealth features, just being able to fly and to launch missiles is good enough.”

The bulging veins on the foreheads of the many experts unexpectedly twitched in unison.

If you don’t have a diamond drill, don’t take on porcelain jobs.

“Additionally, there are cities that are still in civil strife, it’s been only two years, and they haven’t even established a government. These cities don’t have much productivity… They probably won’t join the fight.”

“What about Peace City?”

“Cough cough, it’s said that due to religious and geographical conflicts, half of the population is dead, and now there’s something like a mutant with a cat-face old woman, and we’ve completely lost contact with them.”

“What old woman?”

“It should be an ability projection from an external Anomaly… the contagious kind.”

Everyone fell silent, feeling a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts—we are actually considered the pillars of humanity?!

However… this kind of outcome is definitely within expectations.

Take the international Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering project ITER, for instance. It’s significant, isn’t it? That’s the famous Controlled Nuclear Fusion project, infinite energy, cheap electricity, the first step towards the stars and the ocean!

Do you know when ITER was initiated? In 1985! That was when the Soviet Union hadn’t even dissolved yet, that project was already proposed!

It was delayed year after year, and more and more countries joined in. The part that Great Dong Country was responsible for not only didn’t have delays but was also completed ahead of schedule. However, the parts responsible by other countries can basically be given up on, just wait for them to become unfinished projects…

In this moment of life and death, a similar situation has emerged, prompting people to have the strange delusion that humanity is doomed.

Seeing the low morale, Li Chunhong could only offer some consoling words: “Sigh, apart from believing in our compatriots, we don’t really have a better option.”

“Everyone, keep up the good work and strengthen our own foundation.”

On the surface, Li Chunhong was comforting others, but deep down he was cursing… You guys are really a pile of dogshit!

If it weren’t for a Demon blocking the door outside, Yunhai City would have revoked the Safe Zone and started a new journey long ago! Who needs to wait here?

…

After the meeting ended, everyone left the government hall—nothing was discussed, just one conclusion was reached: we are not ready yet.

It was just five o’clock in the afternoon, time to get off work, and the vast Yunhai City didn’t look as prosperous as before.

The scarcity of gasoline and electricity has made bicycles and tricycles the main means of transportation.

This huge troop bustling off from work looked like we’ve gone back fifty years, turning from Great Dong Country into North Korea…

The pressure on Li Chunhong was immense. Every choice was difficult to make; one wrong decision, and the entire City could step into the abyss, and he would become the ultimate criminal of civilization.

Sometimes he even thought of throwing in the towel, keeping trapped in the Safe Zone, and just scrape by for a few hundred years…

“Lu Yuan, what are you doing now? Can you return to Yunhai City?”

“It’s been two hundred years at your place, hasn’t it?”

Thinking about how Lu Yuan’s side is progressing smoothly and thriving, Li Chunhong seemed to recover a bit of his fighting spirit.

“People still have to rely on themselves; he was in such difficulty before, but he made it through safely.”

“We can win this!”

“Rustle rustle!” The sound of Parasol Tree leaves fluttering in the wind was pleasant and crisp.

This extraordinary Plant, in the past two-plus years, has rapidly grown to a height of fifty-five meters!

The leaves have also become colorful and dazzling, some leaves are as wide as umbrellas, emitting a solemn glow. The Parasol Leaves that fall from metabolism are all high-quality raw materials.

Ever since being taught a lesson by Lu Yun, this guy has become quite obedient, serving humanity earnestly,

And the tens of millions of Humans continue to provide a steady stream of “Dream Energy,” allowing it to ascend to Level Six in just a short period of two years. That’s a pretty decent Racial Value.

The two sides can be considered to have a symbiotic relationship.

“You… ” Li Chunhong chuckled, “If an Epoch Disaster comes, all of us Intelligent creatures will die, and only you Plants will be sturdy enough to endure into the next Epoch.”

“Rustle rustle!”

The big tree grows unrestrained, its branches and leaves covering a radius of one hundred meters of sunlight.

Below, many soldiers are in deep sleep, absorbing Energy in their dreams. In present-day Yunhai City, there are already twenty-one Level Three experts.

Several craftsmen are also discussing Forging knowledge. The “Forging Manual from Dedalo” that Lu Yuan once sent over is sufficient for them to study for a long time.

Furthermore, Yunhai City is also constructing a “Floating Fortress” made of steel and concrete, covering an area of 100,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 12 standard sports fields.

There is already a prototype, and the workers are on rotating shifts, equipping it with heavy weapons.

Once equipped with the Pandora Crystal Stone system, this fortress will be able to levitate.

“It’s just the Pandora Crystal Stones, where to find them? Over there at Xini City… Sigh, we can only hope that the ethnic Chinese there can get us some Crystal Stones after opening the Safe Zone,” Li Chunhong thought to himself.

“What we lack now is just a bit of Crystal Stones…”
