The world enters the age of mythology.

With a "click", the turtle shell shattered into more than a dozen pieces.

"Master...Ji?" The youngest boy called out first, with a blunt heart.

"Don't talk nonsense, the secret must not be revealed!" The elder hurriedly knocked on a chestnut, which wrinkled the young man's face, but on this occasion, he didn't dare to make any sound at all.

The white-haired old man calculated for a long time, and when he came to this conclusion, his heart was overjoyed, and the wrinkles on his face trembled.

He calculated it several times in a row, and discussed it with the surrounding juniors for a while.

After all, the emperor's life and safety were involved, so he couldn't be too careful.

"Your Majesty, the calculated result... Ji!"

It is not so easy to calculate the secret of heaven. Generally speaking, for a matter, the opportunity to lose the turtle shell can only be lost once.

If you repeat the divination, it will only cause confusion in the results.The hexagrams will keep changing, and even I can't figure out what's going on.

Therefore, the result of the first divination calculation is the most authentic, as long as you believe in the first time.

"Really auspicious?" The old emperor was overjoyed.

"Although I don't know why the result of the divination is 'auspicious', but the hexagram shows that." The white-haired old man cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, secrets are used to make things happen, and words are used to reveal failures. As the saying goes, secrets of heaven must not be leaked." The way of divination and fortune-telling is not the real reality, and in the end it depends on human effort."

What he means is that although the calculated hexagram is auspicious, the final result still has to be implemented by people. If the implementation is not good, it will be unpredictable.

If the intermediate process is underestimated because of the final result, the final result will also change.

However, the result of this divination has silenced the rest of the opponents. The status of the divination line in the Jin Empire is very high, and they have achieved a very brilliant record all the way to the present.

Since the final result is "ji", as long as they are careful, there should be no problem.

……

In this way, two days passed in a hurry...

Little by little the sun is moving towards the west, creating a subtle sense of urgency.

The life in the Sea of ​​Clouds is still the same as before, without too many changes. The common people pay attention to the exchanges with the ancient civilization "Great Jin Empire", but most of the secrets are not directly disclosed, and many information is kept confidential.

The common people don't know things like dragons and parrots, and the government doesn't disclose much information.

So without more confidential information, it slowly lost popularity.

Ordinary people still maintain a relatively reassuring attitude. They eat what they should eat, play what they should play, and work what they should work. People's trust in the government is still quite high...

On the other hand, the construction of the spiritual energy shield is still in progress, and more areas can be laid every day.It is estimated that more than 2% of the work will be completed in 60 months, that is, before it gets completely dark.

With the rapid development of comprehensive strength, everyone's self-confidence naturally skyrocketed, and some people even discussed on the Internet whether it is a good choice to accept a reliable younger brother and support a loyal younger brother hand in hand.

"Maybe the Great Jin Empire is suitable? After all, everyone belongs to the Eastern cultural circle... I just don't know what their strength is and what is their ideology?"

"Everyone, everyone, the first thing to consider when accepting a younger brother is the issue of benefits. We have to ask what they can provide us. If we just keep paying, there will be no reason to accept the younger brother."

"...They are worshiped by their ancestors. We can also be regarded as worshiped by our ancestors, right?"

"We are not worshiping ancestors. After all, kowtow is not popular anymore. Tomb-sweeping is just a kind of culture. We are pure atheists. Ancestors are a kind of culture. No one whose blood is precious or whose blood is mediocre. Whose ancestors have not been rich!"

Of course, these discussions are all the opinions of keyboard warriors among netizens. How can there be so-called loyalty in the communication of civilization and civilization?

It's not just playing a game, a statistic "loyalty" can show everything, which is absolutely impossible in reality.

Things like ideology are just too complicated.

The Yunhai government has also been extremely busy recently. In the past two days, the top government officials have received a wave of small surprises.A new technological breakthrough has occurred: a simple psychic potion has been developed!

This potion is mainly aimed at ordinary people.

After using this potion, the potential of the human body can be stimulated most quickly, and the "spiritual energy" can be activated, thus turning into a "human battery" to recharge the spiritual energy network in the shelter!

But this approach sacrificed the future potential to a certain extent. After using this simple psychic potion, the activated psychic mind strength is at most two thousand, at most it will not exceed three thousand, and it may even be none at all.

And in the future, the possibility of upward promotion will be very small.

Because of these side effects, the academic world has split into two factions, arguing with each other.

Radicals believe that: Ordinary civilians do not need to participate in fierce battles, and they do not need spiritual power in their daily lives.It is also impossible for them to spend a lot of time exercising themselves like soldiers, so after taking this medicine, it will not cause any changes in life and work, so what should they do or what should they do.

But at critical moments, being a human body generator is also quite good, at least it can come in handy in times of danger!

Even if a person only has 30 mental strength, a total of 1 people, even if the spiritual energy shield cannot be superimposed "1+[-]", it is still an extremely terrifying number!

The shield activated by 30 people can even compete against powerful demon gods like Nubi with millions of mental strength for a period of time.

The other faction, of course, is the conservatives, and these believe that there is no need to sacrifice the potential of the common people to do it.

What if there are a few super fighters inside, wouldn't it be delayed after using this simple potion?What if some people suddenly regret it after taking this potion?If they return collectively, the social turmoil will inevitably be not small.

After all, it is just a simple potion, a mass-produced product, and the second-generation enhanced potion tailored by scientists is still very different.

Anyway, the two factions were arguing fiercely, the TV news was broadcasting non-stop, and the experts kept debating, which largely attracted the attention of the people...

"It's really troublesome. These people are arguing all day and night. There are news about this everywhere."

"What do you think?"

At eight o'clock this morning, Lu Yiming, Shi Dayong and others walked out of the central building of the Yunhai and came to the deck.

The agreed exchange day has arrived again.

Chapter 488 Second Contact

When discussing the changes inside the shelter, everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Lu Yiming said: "Some experts believe that choosing the superpower you want is part of human rights. Now we force them to choose psionic power, which is a manifestation of irresponsibility."

"Human rights are human rights all day long. A good life is the greatest human right. The right to survive is the greatest human right." Liu Xuwei said disdainfully: "Life is gone, what human rights are you talking about? How about a super soldier? I really If you don’t believe it, there will be A-level potential candidates who will be missed.”

"Most people have only so much potential. Look at them!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xuwei imitated and shouted: "Don't look at them as having nothing, but they are free! Who said that...life is the most important thing."

Everyone burst out laughing.

"It's not what you said." Shi Dayong said: "The power of the government still needs to be controlled, and it is impossible to enforce everything. I said you have no potential, do you admit it? And it involves the choice of superpowers How can it be so easy? Some super powers are very useful for technological development and engineering construction, but we still have to choose carefully..."

"Lu Yiming, what do you think?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know. Compulsory enforcement is definitely not allowed..." Lu Yiming spread his hands and said speechlessly: "Anyway, the invention of these potions is always a good thing, not a bad thing. Like my father People like Mom have no interest in superpowers at all. After work, their recreational activities are playing cards, watching TV, and playing mahjong. Even if they have strong superpowers, it is impossible to deliberately exercise."

"So for them, it's better to drink this potion. If there is a real war, they can be a human battery and protect the shelter together."

Shi Dayong smiled, the life of middle-aged and elderly people is like this... As long as the world is peaceful, it will not affect their playing mahjong.

However, isn't this the life that people long for? Isn't this a symbol of peace and prosperity?Playing mahjong every day is much better than fighting wars every day!

Lu Yiming added: "As for the young people, they definitely want to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and choose the abilities they want. They think they have great potential. But... our society is different from those in those novels after all. , Even if you become a superpower, you don't have privileges, anyway, this kind of potion should still have a market..."

"There will be a small number of people who will respond to the government's call. Leave this matter alone."

With the development of science and technology, the society of Yunhai has gradually transitioned into a society of superpowers. The number of people with superpowers is increasing, and they have many abilities, which are used in scientific research and engineering.For researchers, observation and perception are extremely important, and they often choose this ability; for engineers, micromanipulation technology is very important, and they will choose the corresponding ability.

These types of super powers don't bring too much combat effectiveness, but they are quite practical.Their contribution is no less than that of super soldiers.

So, since superpowers are completely worthless, their status is not superior to others. On the contrary, scientists and engineers who have made outstanding contributions have a high social status.

What's more, maintaining a high mental strength requires hard physical and mental training, just like sports, if you don't train for a day to know it, and if you don't train your opponent for a week, the mental strength will drop rapidly.Ordinary people don't have the energy and time to devote themselves to physical and mental training every day.

"So, it's just young people's fantasy to rely on superpowers to fly to the sky and escape from the earth. It depends on their own choice." Lu Yiming picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.

Naturally, the military is equally busy. On the one hand, it is preparing for the second exchange with Jin Wenming; on the other hand, it is still stepping up the investigation of the magnetic field area.

Finding a new continent that can be lived is still the focus of current exploration.

However, the troublesome thing is that the closer you get to that area, the more serious the malfunction of the electronic equipment is.This fact has been confirmed, so the government had to urgently allocate part of the funds for the production of anti-radiation coatings.

"This phenomenon is a bit like the eruption of solar flares. The strong battery storm interferes with the operation of electronic equipment on a large scale. With these coatings, the interior of the shelter will not be affected, but the communication on the deck level will still be greatly affected. affected."

"According to the detections these days, there is a probability of more than 70%. There is a new continent at least four to five thousand kilometers away." Captain Li Yao, who is in charge of the investigation, was a little frustrated when he talked about this matter, "If It’s really a disaster caused by the sun, we have to give up almost all means of long-distance communication to settle in that ghost place.”

Solar flares are divided into five levels: A, B, C, M, and X, and the intensity increases in order.Among them, M and X-class flare outbreaks will have a significant impact on the near-Earth space environment.The electromagnetic storm at the target location may have exceeded the X-level in the traditional sense.

"Intense solar activity will also affect the survival of life. The incidence of skin cancer will increase significantly, and the slightest fluctuation of the sun will also easily cause the temperature to get out of control and the climate to be abnormal."

"If that's the case... we can't just give up." Lu Yiming shook his head, "If the disaster really comes from the sun, making the ground impossible to live in, we can live underground. The big deal will take some time, digging Just build an underground city. Now that we have Heishasha’s industrial capabilities, digging an underground city is still possible.”

"Are you going to be an underground caveman in the future?"

"Being an underground person can get stability, so there's nothing wrong with that."

Just chatting like this, the time agreed with the Great Jin Empire has arrived.

"Lu Corps, they are coming... They are more than ten kilometers away." The scout on the top floor of the Central Building sent a message, "We are expected to contact us in 40 minutes."

The other party still only dispatched a thousand-ton wooden sailboat.

"We have to start here too. Are all the supplies ready?"

"Nature is ready."

Lu Yiming nodded, stopped counting the goods, and led a large group of people onto the destroyer.

This exchange can be described as the second official exchange after the "ice-breaking journey". The Sea of ​​Clouds really showed sincerity and made some preparations.

There will be more entourage, members of the government think tank are monitoring remotely, and some related staff are responsible for logistical preparations.The military's vigilance still did not relax.

The destroyer engine started and headed in the direction of the sailboat.

Half an hour later, the two sides formally met.

From a distance, Lu Yiming saw General Zhao Yi.

He was still holding a square sky painting halberd, standing on the bow of the boat, looking mighty and extraordinary.

Another strange bird stood on Zhao Yi's shoulder, which was also a parrot in appearance.

"They can't be a civilization that specializes in raising parrots, can they?"

"Another parrot for translation?"

"I remembered that in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a record about parrots. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas Xishanjing, it is written: There is a bird named Parrot, which is shaped like an owl, with green feathers and red beak. It can speak with a human tongue. "

The members of the think tank at the headquarters are discussing in low voices through the earphones, "Since this civilization has dragons, it is also possible to have other beasts. Maybe... the beautiful dragons on their flags also exist?"

"If dragons really exist, they should be very powerful species, right? In myths and stories, dragons control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, can appear or hide, can be thin or giant, can be short or long."

"What you said is too mysterious." These people started talking nonsense.

Not to mention, this parrot is really beautiful. Its size is significantly smaller than the previous one, about 0.6 meters in length, with golden feathers all over its body, a pair of piercing eyes, and its head raised high. Just like a nobleman, he looks very graceful and luxurious, with a sense of grandeur.

Lu Yiming actually thought of the word "graceful and luxurious" from a parrot, and couldn't help smiling, thinking to himself, "Did Jin Wenming bring a better translator this time?"

The cyan parrot from last time performed too poorly, so it was traded.

It is being tuned and studied over and over again in the hands of scientists, and a lot of blood has been drawn from it.That cyan parrot didn't learn anything, only learned a curse word "stupid", calling everyone stupid, it really pissed off the animal trainer, and it still hasn't corrected this stinky habit...

However, the mere two days is still too short, and the experts have not been able to research anything, only saying that "its blood has some unique properties", but what is going on, they have not yet figured out why.

As for the second exchange, Jin Wenming obviously made more adequate preparations, and the entourage was much more than the last time.

Even, some cargo was prepared on the sailboat.

These goods are covered with cloth, but I don't know what they are.

Some wear black armor with 3 psychic strength, but most wear civilian clothes.

Lu Yiming saw several gray-haired old men, boarded the boat, and said in a low voice, "These old men should be high-level people in Jin Wenming, right?"

"It should be like this. I just don't know what kind of social system the Jin civilization is. It should still be in the feudal stage...it can't be a modern system."

A member of the think tank couldn't help joking: "Maybe, they have the position of emperor... We shouldn't need to kneel down?"

Although he knew he was joking, someone retorted: "In the feudal era, the emperor was not a position, but born! As for kneeling, what's the use of it... It's good to bow your hands and salute gone."

"It's impossible for the emperor of the other party to come here to communicate. This kind of thing is dangerous after all."

"Not necessarily, the status of an emperor with a population of more than 1 is different from that of an emperor with a population of tens of millions, that is, a mayor. Maybe he will come?"
