Chapter 773 -550: The Dark Clouds of the Temple of Greed Will Ultimately Shroud the World_2
“This guy is just too wicked!” Old Cat couldn’t stand it anymore, but had no reason to argue, so he flicked his tail, floated off the table, and flew away like the wind.
Lu Yuan also cheerfully shook his body, making a scissor-hand gesture towards the girl.
“Isn’t that childish, big brother~” Miss Conch laughed happily, jumping up to knock on his skull.
“Roar! I am a dragon.” Lu Yuan grinned, mimicking the Little Mirage Dragon, and nudged her with his head.
“Ah!” Miss Conch continued to tap on his head.
The two of them fooled around, instantly sweeping away the fatigue of working overtime for so long.
Just then, a broadcast came on.
The announcer, with a dignified voice, said: “Attention all citizens, our city will reach its destination in 4 hours, please stay away from the city’s edge.”
“Those who wish to view the scenery, please proceed to the observation deck and queue orderly.”
“Repeating once more…”
The weather was still a bit cold, with the north wind howling, but it couldn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiastic mood.
“Whoosh”, a large crowd ran out of the small cave, took the elevator to the highest point of the city, and looked out over the snow-covered world.
There was also a large group of robots, who likewise rushed out—these were robots controlled through the dream mechanism, allowing the sleepers to observe reality.
“This is where we will develop in the future! Look at that big lake, it’s completely frozen.”
“It’s said that the Trading Market will not be directly placed in Green Grass City. A piece of land next to it will be planned for the construction of brand new skyscrapers.”
“Quite normal, for the sake of safety, our city should still be separated from the Trading Market.”
The crowd was chattering noisily, lively and bustling.
Lu Yuan and Miss Conch, wearing masks, mingled among the crowd and the robots, listening to everyone’s discussions, which was their favorite thing to do.
“In the future, when everyone wakes up collectively, there won’t be so many robots anymore.”
“No, no, no, there might be even more robots in the future. We want higher productivity, large-scale population expansion is not very realistic, so we still need to produce robots.”
“If our human knowledge gets out there and other civilizations develop… there’s always a bit of an unwilling feeling. Most of the civilization here is steam era technology.”
Another young man said: “…madam, your viewpoint is a bit one-sided. Firstly, our city won’t stay here permanently, in a few hundred years, we’ll certainly leave. Their development, for better or worse, has nothing to do with us.”
“Secondly, aren’t we going to develop ourselves? With income from a trading market, if we still get overtaken, it means our civilization has long stagnated.”
“Since we’ve already stopped progressing, we might as well give our position to other civilizations. It’s our own fault for not being competitive! We can’t blame others for competing.”
Unbeknownst to them, a debate had arisen among the young people.
Lu Yuan scratched his head, wondering why social Darwinism in humans was becoming a bit intense.
The notion that backward civilizations should be eliminated… sounds a bit chilling.
Well, having a discussion with insights can really be a good thing.
What’s more, to some extent, what this young man said was also correct.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but think of the Lighthouse Country from Earth, there was a time when its citizens were very optimistic, they weren’t afraid of competition, truly believing their nation was at the forefront of the world, and also thought their worldview and values should be spread worldwide.
Because of this optimistic spirit, they attracted a lot of high-quality talents. An online jab at the Lighthouse Country wouldn’t unsettle them; instead, they’d humorously self-deprecate.
But gradually, that spirit vanished, the worldview and values became strange, and an online jab would trigger them, the Lighthouse Country’s brilliance just seemed less mysterious.
“Sigh, Earth affairs are long gone, better to think about ourselves…”
“The spirit of self-deprecation is a good thing.”
Lu Yuan sighed lightly. Humans are indeed not strong enough, still far from sealing a complete [Ghost].
Without the combat power of the Greedy Demon God, hoping to defeat a [Ghost] is even more of a luxury…
No wonder everyone is a bit anxious, after all, once in contact with a [Ghost], they realize it’s not too far away from them.
But some things can’t be rushed, the development of society and technology is a gradual process. Rather than lamenting the difficult road ahead, it’s better to steadily move forward step by step.
And so, the city’s altitude continued to drop.
A large number of the Wulan Clan were watching from afar, possibly numbering in the tens of thousands!
Because both sides look quite similar, Lu Tiantian’s biology team conducted detailed research and found reproductive isolation to be “between existent and nonexistent”, akin to the gap between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, where reproduction is possible, but offspring are prone to genetic diseases.
This matter is indeed a bit troublesome… If a city citizen and a member of the Wulan Clan fall in love and have a child, the troubles are numerous.
Lu Yuan actually didn’t want to absorb foreign immigrants.
Fortunately, ordinary citizens couldn’t directly go to the Trading Market, so with the population isolated, for now, the issue isn’t significant.
“Boom,” a light rumble sounded, and at dusk, Green Grass City reached its destination. freewebnσvel.cøm
The cold wind howled, the temperature was about minus 5 degrees Celsius.
This place is a geothermal area similar to the Yangtze River Delta, with a massive active volcano 300 kilometers away, constantly melting snow with its emitted high heat.
