Chapter 699 The Price of Growth


Afterwards, Zhang Wenliang and the others followed the Elf Queen on foot, while the fighter jets and mechas temporarily stayed where they were. Most of the overwhelming fighter jets and mechas farther away began to land on the ground, while a small number of them still stayed in the air to prevent By surprise. However, these people do not have nothing to do. They need to collect samples and collect various data to facilitate human landing. Even vaccines, etc., are already being prepared. If you want to survive in an environment for a long time, technologies such as nanorobots are not enough - excessive use of the power of machines will seriously degrade humans themselves! Not to mention, vaccine technology is also one of the top biotechnologies - in a sense, it is no worse than nanorobotics technology!

The hover car followed gently behind Zhang Wenliang and the others. The computer carried on it could be used as a translator. Of course, because there is too little material, we can only translate a few limited words and limited meanings. On the way forward, Zhang Wenliang proposed that he should live here for a while and learn the language to facilitate more in-depth communication between the two sides; at the same time, he would also send some researchers to analyze the language. To this, the Elf Queen could only agree - otherwise communication would not be possible, how to communicate! The first thing is to welcome! To this end, the Queen has prepared a grand ceremony. This etiquette is actually used by the elves to celebrate festivals. A ritual used to celebrate the birth of an elf royal family every hundred years. But now she really can't find a good way to celebrate, so the Queen has no choice but to take out this etiquette; but some inappropriate links will be omitted.

The other thing is to lead these guests who have come "from afar" to meet the high priest who is no longer able to support him. The reason why the high priest has persisted until now is not only because he is worried about the elves. I also want to see what kind of civilization I summoned. Can they bring new life to the elves? !

Stepping on the grassy ground, looking at the brilliant flowers, green trees, lively and cute little animals. Zhang Wenliang, Dongfang Xiaoyun and Gao Chengyang were smiling. Follow the Elf Queen into the heart of the Elf clan.

From a distance, Zhang Wenliang and the others saw the altar in the picture of the message received by human society; but the youth in the picture and message had passed away, and now it was in sight. Only withered bones and old bodies. However, relying on his memory and strong spatial thinking ability, Zhang Wenliang discovered that the positions of the skeletons and white-haired "bamboo poles" had not changed at all. Perseverance and dedication are enough to transcend races and civilizations and influence other intelligent life. Zhang Wenliang took the lead. The three of them stood at attention and bowed solemnly at ninety degrees. This is respect for those warriors who have sacrificed everything for the strength of the race, and respect for that great spirit. Humanity has no shortage of such people, that’s why mankind is what it is today! The elves also have such warriors, and they seek rescuers for the elves; this altar. In a sense, it has only played its greatest role at this moment; this spirit of perseverance made Zhang Wenliang seem to have seen an ancient Chinese hero, and his recognition and acceptance of the elves deepened so much in an instant. This is a recognition from the spirit and soul.

"Thank you..." The Elf Queen even choked up for a moment. That kind of dedication and respect requires no words. Sometimes simple recognition is the greatest encouragement and praise.

"You are here." The high priest spoke slowly. The breeze blew, and a few strands of white hair flew away with the wind. Then, the high priest smiled and remained motionless...

The breeze continued to blow, and the white hair on the high priest's body went away little by little; then the vines wrapped around the high priest's body slowly retracted and returned to the mother tree; but the high priest turned into flying dust all over the sky with the breeze...

A generation of wise men has passed away!

"High Priest..." The Queen cried bitterly and fell to the ground.

"Hey..." Zhang Wenliang sighed, guessing a bit about the performance of the high priest; he only had sincere admiration for this wise man who had been waiting for the elves for 20 years.

Next, under Zhang Wenliang's persuasion, the elves held a grand funeral for the high priest and the six warriors. At the funeral, Zhang Wenliang presented a hand-woven wreath on behalf of mankind; this was designed by the top craftsman on the spacecraft. , the wreaths made of various materials are beautiful; the word "Dian" is written in elven characters and Chinese characters in the middle. The first step of the integration of the two intelligent races was actually completed under such conditions.

The high priest and six warriors exchanged their lives for the respect of the two civilizations. Many elves howled loudly, while many humans had wet eyes.

Then humans began to enter the elves to survive and communicate; with the cracking of communication and language, humans gradually adapted to this world, and the basic communication with the elves was roughly solved; and with auxiliary computers, political exchanges could be completed. . During this period, the two sides lived in harmony; it's just that the people on earth have never taken off their protective clothing - before the life environment here is thoroughly studied, and before both sides are vaccinated against each other, everyone can only do this. However, some vaccines that have been developed are now being gradually administered to all people on earth.

According to the timing method here of the elves, after the curling grass expanded and contracted 20 times, the elves first held a grand welcome ceremony. Thousands of elves danced and sang to welcome friends from the distant world. 20 days of communication have allowed the Elf Queen to truly understand the vastness of this world. Especially after knowing the true distance between the earth and this place, the high-ranking elves were extremely surprised. It takes 11.2 years for the signal to be transmitted, and it takes 20 years for the spacecraft to fly - if this time were replaced by the time of the elves, the measurement unit would be doubled!

The leaf curler is a magical plant. It can stretch and roll its leaves in exactly the same time. It is one of the most important timing tools for the elves. It can only be said that there are all kinds of wonders in the world; and one cycle of leaf curling grass lasts 25 hours.

But the more you understand. The Queen became more and more worried. These humans have traveled such a long distance, and it is obvious that they cannot go back. Especially when the high priest sent out a distress signal, he said that the elves were willing to surrender under the rule of the savior - so the intentions of these humans were already clear. But, to be honest, no intelligent life is willing to be inferior to humans!

Especially now. Although I have been in contact for more than 20 days. However, humans have always been peaceful and did not show off their muscles, which inevitably made the Elf Queen feel lucky. these days. Those fighter jets, mechas, etc., in addition to leaving the think tank behind, are constantly being rotated to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

But the Queen underestimated human wisdom for this expedition. The empire is very well prepared and has a dedicated think tank to analyze all behaviors and habits of intelligent life. Intelligent life is always a little clever - just cunning!

Moreover, the Demonic Dragon Clan was very considerate and delivered it to their door right away - there was no movement for more than 20 days, which made the Demonic Dragon Clan not very comfortable: it had been a long time since I had tasted a few elves, and I was already hungry and greedy!

Finally, a group of demon dragons couldn't bear it any longer, and more than 5,000 demon dragons came across the ocean in mighty force. The magic power surged beneath him, the wind, dark clouds and lightning roared, like the end of the world. The power of magic fascinates human scientists.

In the past few days, human scientists have roughly figured out the general reason for the generation of magic elements here; because of the years of light and energy accumulation, and being sealed and unable to spread, strange magic power has been formed here; this power is closely related to the practitioners' The power is different. But practitioners say it can be absorbed and is very comfortable. However, the generation mechanism has not been understood.

And just in time, the demonic dragon that came over now also made the scientists very happy - they could actually feel and study this strange power! To be honest, if we can really study and understand the nature of magic and magical power, it will be of great significance to the progress of human society! Because - new energy! For technology, energy is always an immortal topic!

The cultivation is too high-end, and its power system and so on make it impossible for science and technology to directly study it; and the current magical power just allows science and technology to capture clues, bringing the mechanical technology that is beneficial to mankind closer to a superpower civilization! In other words, let humanity add a new trunk to its technological tree! Some scientists believe that as long as humans can move forward, we should not discriminate against superpowers, nor should we rely too much on technology. In any case, humans themselves are the core, not technology. At this point, spiritual practice is much better than technology.

"5,000 magic dragons. One with a length of 100 meters, 10 with a length of 90 meters, more than 50 with a length of 80 meters, 300 with a length of more than 60 meters, and the rest are less than 60 meters." Zhang Qiang analyzed quickly. Mu Yunshuang is protecting Zhang Wenliang, so this is just Zhang Qiang's battlefield.

In addition, through the analysis during this period, humans also roughly know that the longer the dragon's body, the greater its ability; and every ten meters or so is a threshold; the difference is very obvious. Although there will be different differences in individual cases, such as 61 meters, 59 meters, etc., in general, the grades can be distinguished relatively clearly. Those who reach 60 meters in length can cast magic without interruption, and their abilities have been upgraded to a very powerful level; they are already among the elite.

"Prepare 1,000 fighter jets and 1,000 mechas. Try to eliminate those below 60 meters. The remaining ones will be used to test the power of magical civilization and to cultivate soldiers' close combat capabilities." Zhang Qiang can clearly see that in the future, human battles will There will inevitably be a lot of close combat. Such a superpower civilization is definitely not the only one in the universe! Maybe those superpower civilizations will become more powerful!

This is just like the battles on earth back then. Whether it was air strikes or naval battles, if you want to complete a substantial occupation, land battles are inevitable!

And similarly, if you want to completely gain this world and subdue the intelligent races here, close combat is essential! This may be a test for the expansion of human civilization!

As soon as the two sides started fighting, they suffered from each other.

The small lasers, rail guns, artillery shells, etc. used by humans rely on their speed and powerful attack power to cause heavy losses to those relatively weak dragons.

But this time the magic of the dragon also left humans with lingering fears. Those powerful magic dragons can actually control magic to be generated directly next to fighter jets and mechas from a distance of more than ten kilometers, making them impossible to guard against. Obviously, in the previous contact, the dragons had a trick up their sleeves! More importantly, magic is a strange energy that can even create an "energy toxin" that penetrates steel and directly invades the human body!

This is a collision of civilizations and a battle of wisdom.

On the one hand, it is the power of machinery, straight forward! But it is so powerful that once it is hit, it is basically impossible to survive! Moreover, advanced technology rarely escapes the locked dragon.

But the other side's magical attacks appear mysteriously, and magical energy spreads to every corner of the world. Some powerful magic dragons can even control magical power to explode directly against fighter jets, mechas, etc. Continuous lightning, fire, meteorites, high and low temperatures and other mysterious means, and even direct spiritual shocks, also cost human beings hundreds of deaths! This is the first battle loss since humans entered the space environment! The mysterious "energy toxin" brought mankind into contact with this kind of battle for the first time, and there were also many casualties.

There is a strange energy invasion in the magic attack. They ignore the defense of steel and act directly on the human body. So much so that mechas and fighter jets with strong physical defenses on the outside were unable to withstand erosion; even though there was no external damage, the warriors inside were already dead!

Zhang Qiang was not anxious and just watched quietly. Without blood, there will be no growth!

If we want to survive in the universe, humans are still far, far away! I remember what my grandfather Zhang Jingyuan said when he left: In addition to the development of science and technology, the dedication of heroes, and the continuous outbreak of scientists, what is more important for mankind is: war!

Although it is cruel, Zhang Jingyuan believes that it is war that promotes the development of human society! This war is not just a war of bloodshed and death on the surface, but also includes various cold wars and economic wars - the casualties caused by these wars are often no less than direct wars!

But now, mankind is going too smoothly in the space age, which is not conducive to future growth. Therefore, saving the elves this time is also a test for humans. Although war is cruel, it is one of the ladders of civilization and progress! Only in the burning of blood and fire can human beings be as strong as steel!
