Chapter 312 Number One’s Despair
Time passed quickly, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the radiation storm was about to come here.
At this time, there were still fifteen minutes before the radiation storm came, and the No. 1 manager had already begun to have all the combat units underground begin to converge on the fourth layer of the World Tree.
Because in the past few days, players have explored the third level and are about to enter the fourth level.
The reason why No. 1 chose to mobilize troops at this time was because through his observations during this period, he discovered that these creatures possess extremely high intelligence and special investigation methods.
If you start mobilizing in advance, you will definitely be discovered.
If discovered, it means that these creatures may doubt whether there are other intelligent creatures deeper underground.
Once the suspicion of this creature is aroused, it is not ruled out that they will tell the information here to other creatures in the group.
When the creatures in the tribe flood here on a large scale, the damage caused by the radiation storm to them will be minimal, so he must time it well.
And now is the best time to arrange it. Even if these creatures know about it at this time, it will be useless.
Because the time left now is simply not enough for them to respond on a large scale.
Thinking of this, the deployment will continue on the 1st.
With ten minutes left before the radiation arrived, he completed the assembly of troops, and at the same time he began to close the passage from the third to fourth floors.
All passages were completely closed with five minutes to go.
And just as he thought, what he did attracted the attention of those hundreds of creatures, and they immediately rushed towards the place where he had gathered his troops.
Because there were many obstacles along the way, they did not reach their destination before the passage was closed.
Immediately afterwards, World Tree started to break away from the system.
Number 1 directly launched the three layers in front of the World Tree to the ground.
Because each layer of the World Tree has an independent propulsion system, it is very easy for him to launch the first three layers to the surface.
When this operation was carried out, the huge World Tree broke through the soil and rushed toward the ground. Its huge movement naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding creatures.
I saw these creatures who didn't know that a disaster was coming and were still curiously looking in the direction of the World Tree.
And when the World Tree appeared in their field of vision, all these creatures rushed towards it.
However, there were only thirty seconds left before the storm came.
They have no chance!
"It's over!" Number 1 muttered as he looked at the countdown with only two seconds left.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling blue light enveloped the entire planet, and the remaining atmosphere on the periphery of the planet was instantly torn apart.
Various cosmic rays are raging on the planet, and the surface temperature of the entire planet rises sharply. At this time, the planet is like a blue hell.
After seeing this scene, No. 1 naturally knew that this group of intruders was doomed.
Now all their people scattered across the planet will be destroyed by radiation.
The hundreds of bugs in the World Tree that were launched barely survived.
They might just be in that half-dead state, and it would be too easy for them to solve this state.
Currently, the only place on the entire planet that can protect those creatures is the giant vehicle in which they came.
But it is a pity that in order to explore the planet, they are too far away from the giant vehicle at this time.
There was no time for them to go back.
And even if that giant vehicle can withstand the storm, there is a high probability that it will be injured.
At that time, he can immediately send out a large number of war beasts, first deal with the half-dead ones in the World Tree, and then destroy the vehicle.
After such a wave of operations, he not only eliminated all the enemies, but also obtained a large amount of materials for his own research.
Although that giant battleship looks very strange, No. 1 believes that the technology inside should be of great help to him.
His plan was perfect, but the only thing he missed was, what if these creatures could withstand this radiation?
Just like that, while he was still deducing his offensive line, something incredible suddenly happened.
Because he saw hundreds of creatures jumping out of the World Tree that was launched into the air.
That's right, he jumped out. He jumped out of it grandly and put himself into the radiation storm.
Immediately afterwards, these creatures fell to the ground, and after a brief exchange, they ran toward the fourth layer of the World Tree underground with some vigilance.
"How is this possible!" No. 1 yelled subconsciously when he saw this scene.
Obviously, the matter before him was beyond his cognition.
He seemed to have thought of something and immediately switched his perspective to other places.
Then he saw something that he would never forget, because these creatures were not affected by radiation in any way.
They were bathed in radiation as if it were normal for you to go home and take a shower at night.
They are still on their way when they should be on their way, and they are still digging when they should be mining. To them, this radiation seems to not exist.
At this time, No. 1 stared blankly at the scene in front of him, unable to accept it.
He simply couldn't understand how an organism could survive unscathed in such an environment.
"Is mechanical ascension wrong?"
"Or I was wrong from the beginning..."
At this time, he felt that the beliefs he had always adhered to had been greatly impacted.
He has always believed that living things are weak and only machines can be eternal, so he risked the disapproval of the world and began to implement the eternal plan.
After so many years, all the things that have happened on this planet have proven that his idea is correct.
If a civilization wants to progress and develop, the prerequisite for all this is to give up the weak body.
He has always been arrogant that his theory is absolutely correct.
But just now, the behavior of these creatures outside completely shattered what he had always believed to be correct.
At this moment, the eyes of the greatest man in the Grakia civilization were filled with confusion. At this moment, this sage looked as helpless as a child who had made a mistake.
If the theory he has always adhered to is wrong, then this civilization is equivalent to being pushed into the abyss by his own hands.
Because he once did such a thing for what he thought was eternity.
He once believed that his actions were sins in the moment and merits in the future. But at this moment, these creatures shattered his belief, just like a needle punctured a bubble, with no possibility of repair.
His theory was wrong, and he personally ruined the entire civilization for his wrong theory.
Because until this moment he understood that biological evolution has infinite possibilities and potential that you can't imagine.
And he personally put the potential for evolution and the future of civilization into the tombstone.
At this time, No. 1 actually had the urge to delete all his data.
Yes, he wanted to escape at this moment, just like a helpless child who had made a huge mistake, he wanted to escape from here.
But when he recalled the hundreds of millions of his people, he restrained his thoughts.
Because he knew that he had already ruined them once, and he could not ruin them a second time.
After thinking of this, his eyes became firm, and it was not until this moment that he truly woke up.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly came out of his arrogance and began to look at this matter from the original perspective.
Although he thought he was awake when the players came here and gave him a blow in the head.
Only then did he realize that at that time he had not yet gotten over the arrogance he had accumulated over the years.
Although he thought he had come out at the time, over the long years, arrogance had become a habit and slowly integrated with him.
So what he thought he had come out before was just what he thought.
But it's different now. After what happened just now, he is extremely sober at this moment. At this moment, the original manager No. 1 is back.
He could see through the situation in front of him. He always thought that when the radiation storm came, it would be the death of these creatures.
He has always arrogantly believed that their civilization cleanup plan is perfect and that no civilization can resist it.
The degree of development of civilization determines his vision. As time develops and enters eternity, his thoughts are imprisoned, and he is no longer as objective as he was at the beginning.
Many times he may not even realize that he is thinking from a certain limited perspective.
At this time, he analyzed the whole thing from a different perspective and quickly figured it out.
It is inevitable that these radiations cannot harm this race. You must know that the technological level of this race is far higher than theirs.
Since he knew that radiation was coming, why did he naively think that this race could not detect the radiation that was flying towards this place?
So he observed this race before and saw that this race was still mining at various mining sites without knowing it.
In fact, it's not that they don't know anything, but that they know it, but it has no impact on them.
Technology and ignorance have never been the key to hindering the development of life, arrogance is.
His arrogance had blinded him, and now he was awake, even though the whole thing had reached a point of no return.
But at this moment, No. 1 firmly believes that as long as the mastermind is not destroyed, they still have a chance.
Thinking of this, No. 1 started planning.
As a mechanically ascended civilization, their production capacity is very powerful. In the World Tree, every level has a complete production line.
So now they can make a lot of weapons or mechas.
Of course, there is a premise for this, and this premise is that you can give yourself enough time.
It is very difficult to get enough time because the opponent has a large number of troops coming here.
In order to buy himself enough time, No. 1 made a decision after much thought.
That is to separate the most important seventh layer from the other three remaining layers, and then send the seventh layer deeper into the ground.
There are a large number of troops in those three layers, and these troops cannot cause any harm to these creatures at all.
Despite this, No. 1 still let them hide in every corner of the three floors.
He wanted to use this method to slow down the opponent's exploration speed and buy himself more time.
And No. 1 also observed the scene of these creatures exploring the World Tree. After observation, he found that these creatures have a soft spot for some devices that can store data.
It is obvious that these creatures want to obtain some technological information, although No. 1 does not know what use a civilization like them can use with these technological information.
But since they need it, they can place some encrypted technology, and these things can also reduce their search speed.
No. 1, who entered the state at this time, seemed to have completely changed.
While he was thinking about how to buy more time for his side, he was also thinking about what weapon he should use to defeat this creature.
Of course, after this period of contact, No. 1 also knows the general situation of the players very well.
"First of all, it is certain that these strange creatures have very strong defense and attack power. It is simply a fantasy to kill them with ordinary methods."
Thinking of this, various weapons flashed through No. 1's mind quickly, and he began to search for any weapons among his own civilization's weapons that could effectively cause damage to them.
"Laser weapons?" He shook his head as he said, "Although laser weapons can shoot through these creatures.
But the premise is that your laser weapon research level is high enough. Based on our civilization's research on laser weapons, it is obvious that this is unrealistic. ”
"Since entering eternity, our research directions have been in the two general directions of propulsion systems and mechanical systems, because other directions are of little significance to us."
"Of these two directions, only the mechanical direction has certain combat capabilities, but because of the materials, no matter how advanced our mechanical technology is, there is no way to cause harm to them."
After excluding laser weapons, No. 1 immediately thought of super nuclear weapons with a yield of hundreds of millions.
Such a weapon has the power to destroy heaven and earth. When it explodes, the high temperature and shock wave generated inside it are enough to kill all living things within the range.
However, this idea was quickly rejected by him.
"Since I can possess nuclear weapons, then the other party must have possessed them before.
So I'm thinking that they should also have defense means for this kind of weapon, and judging from the condition of these creatures, I don't rule out that they have the ability to survive a nuclear explosion. ”
After rejecting this idea, he couldn't help but frown. The weapons he imagined now were all conventional weapons.
He estimated that many low-level civilizations should have produced these weapons. It is absurd to use the weapons of low-level civilizations to destroy high-level civilizations.
After thinking about it, he suddenly woke up, because at this moment he understood the problem that had troubled him for a long time, and this was also the key to solving the current predicament.
