The world enters the age of mythology.

"No clues about the disaster?"

"For now...no. We have done some experiments, some of these plants are poisonous, some are not poisonous, but as long as we don't eat them, there should be no problem, right?"

Lu Yiming wiped off his sweat. The way of thinking of these scientific expedition members was completely different from theirs.

However, it is always a good thing to be able to find some excellent plants... Tomorrow there will be professionals coming here to cut down trees.

Wood is definitely a good thing. It can not only be used to make various furniture, but also to increase the happiness of the people.Moreover, wood is an important chemical raw material, and various industrial products can be extracted through dry distillation.In the absence of oil and coal, wood is the only resource replenishment point.

After dinner, he felt a little uneasy. Lu Yiming first checked the collected plant specimens, and after finding nothing wrong, he went to the monitoring room. The screen here firmly monitored the front line, 80 meat balls 10 kilometers away. .

The soldiers in charge of tracking in the monitoring room were also frightened.

A soldier complained in a low voice: "These strange creatures should be the disaster that erupted on this planet, right? What's inside... I'm curious, if you shoot with a machine gun, will it be like an egg, with yellow juice splashing?" come out?"

Another person said: "Do you want to have such a heavy taste!... I was thinking, can our aircraft tanks beat these things? It is said that there are very, very many of these meat balls, and most of the houses that are still intact There are one or two. If we can beat it, what are we afraid of? If it doesn’t work, we will nuke an area..."

The third soldier said angrily: "Are you stupid? This extinct civilization has reinforced concrete and even electronic products. Don't they have planes and tanks? Don't they have nuclear bombs? We only have a few nuclear bombs." , just explain it like this?"

"Maybe there really aren't any... These heavy weapons are not inevitable in history. If there were no world wars, the development of weapons and equipment would be much slower, right? War can accelerate the development of mankind!"

At this time, the soldier in the lead shook his head: "But you must know that we are no longer the civilization we used to be... Our entire refuge has only a few planes, a few tanks... There are only a few nuclear bombs. 11 pieces, after use, there will still be nuclear radiation, and they cannot directly live in people..."

Listening to their chat, Lu Yiming coughed and entered the monitoring room.

"Captain Lu!"

These soldiers stopped talking nonsense, stood up together, and saluted him.

"No problem."

"Report, no!"

Lu Yiming also saluted. He watched the surveillance for a while and found nothing wrong before he felt relieved.

He smiled and said: "Don't imagine things are so simple, these meatballs have special superpowers! Now all the monitoring data has been distorted, and you can only hear the beating of the 'thumping' heart No big reaction other than a little nausea in my heart."

"But if there is no data protection, if you really hear this sound, you will find that your heartbeat will also be affected! The blood circulation in your whole body will be hindered."

"These meatballs still have superpowers!" A soldier stared and shook his head again: "That's really hard to solve. Are we going to give up this piece of land again?"

Lu Yiming said: "Let's wait and see for now, attack these things rashly, what will happen then is unknown!"

"Unless our firepower is strong enough to destroy these things at once, we still can't act rashly. It's a pity that we are now just a small refuge with less than 16 people, and it is no longer what it used to be. strong country."

After talking here, everyone couldn't help sighing.It would be great if more than 200 refuges could converge, and the population of tens of millions would be quite a lot. The crazy explosion of production might really push these monsters horizontally.

But now, 16 people want to build endless aircraft and tanks, which is basically impossible. Even the most basic point: a large amount of steel, there is no way to produce it.

Lu Yiming said: "So the top priority is to collect more information and send it to the rear. There is already an intelligent civilization to help us overcome the thunder, and there is no need for us to fight these things without any information. We still have time ...It would be great if the deciphered information gives the answer."

"Whether to give up this piece of land, we will think about it later."

Yes, the deciphering of written materials is naturally the top priority at the moment!

But deciphering these data is not so simple.Almost immediately, the Sea of ​​Clouds refuge organized all the linguists, cryptographers, and information scientists that could be found, and set up several special working groups to decipher the transmitted information 24 hours a day.

However, after a brief discussion, these experts reached a consensus that the writing of this civilization is very different from the mainstream writing of the previous earth civilization, a bit like cuneiform.

However, there are almost no experts in cuneiform characters in the Yunhai, so it may not be smooth to decipher.

As short as one or two months, as long as five or six months, this is all possible.

Such a long expected deciphering time made the exploration team on the destroyer anxious.

In particular, Major Shi Dayong on the destroyer, as the commander this time, is negotiating with these experts in a less polite manner through remote video.

"You don't even know the threat of these meat balls! Just getting close, I feel like my heart is going to explode! They have superpowers!!"

"Obviously, these strange meat balls are in a relatively safe dormancy period. I don't know how long this dormancy period will be"

During this period of time, as long as you are careful and don't get too close, humans can explore safely.But if this safety period is wasted, maybe all the things in it will hatch!

Even if these written materials are deciphered in the future, the value will be greatly reduced.

Chapter 161 Time to Pick Up Trash

"With our current strength, it is impossible to head-to-head with so many monsters!" Shi Dayong put enough pressure in the video conference.

Deciphering the text of this civilization as soon as possible is the most critical factor. Although no danger has been found now, no one knows what kind of mutation will happen to these strange meat balls.

"Major Shi, you have to know that we can't be lazy, but obviously, the deciphering speed of the text cannot be accelerated by your subjective will. On the contrary, the more urgent you are, the more difficult it is to decipher. Many things need opportunities and need to be tried slowly. .”

The expert in the video was also under a lot of pressure. He considered it carefully and said cautiously: "I have a suggestion here. I hope you can collect some more effective picture data. Only pictures can speed up the deciphering speed."

"The first is the map. With the map, we can know which words represent place names and where are more important places. In particular, we can find out the approximate locations of universities, laboratories, and military bases!"

Shi Dayong nodded, "This...we will pay attention to it, but it also needs an opportunity."

Professor Wang in the video continued: "The second is children's language textbooks. The sentences in children's textbooks are simpler, often with corresponding pictures, which can help us understand this new language very well. What are the things you find now? Ah...they are all densely packed characters, and it is very difficult to decipher! Do you know how many years it took to decipher cuneiform? More than 200 years!"

"So many experts in the world have deciphered it for more than 200 years. You asked us to decipher the text in a short period of time. How is it possible?"

"To be fast, you have to find more pictures."

"There are posters and advertisements, anyway, things with pictures, understand?"

"Understood, we'll keep an eye on these tomorrow!"

Shi Dayong sighed, he also understood what Professor Wang said.

Most of the materials they found today were complex text, which looked a bit like contracts or lawyer's documents, plus some thick books.In this case, it is required to quickly decipher it, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to get it out within a month.

After all, the experts in the Sea of ​​Clouds, in terms of quantity and quality, are not as powerful as the original supernatural research center, and it is understandable that the translation is a bit slower.

"Well, let's collect pictures as much as possible. You try to sort out some key information, don't ask to decipher all of them, and find out the locations of universities, libraries, and military bases! We are in civilian rooms all day long It’s a waste of time to search in China. Do it within a week, is there any problem?!”

"This... We try our best, but we still have to see if there is such information in the information you have collected."

After a busy day, the expedition team was exhausted. At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone had a summary meeting and disbanded early.

Only the logistics force on the destroyer is still busy, the monitoring and uploading data are still uploading data, and it is estimated that they will be busy until the middle of the night...

"No danger was found today, the logging brigade will come tomorrow, right?" Lu Yiming was actually in a pretty good mood.

It is sometimes a good thing to discover dangers, at least to be able to make some plans for these dangers.

Shi Dayong replied: "Yes, I don't know how long this safe period will last, but there are no such meatballs in the forest... Hurry up and chop some wood is the kingly way."

A lumberjack cuts wood very quickly with a chainsaw, but lifts it with a crane, and the process of transporting it to a ship is relatively long.

The trees here are so huge that each one weighs several tons.It is more than enough for one or two hundred workers to get back two or three thousand pieces of wood a day, that is, the quality of 4000 tons.

It is even more trouble-free to dig mud. One excavator can dig one or two thousand tons a day.

"This can be considered a good harvest."

Lu Yiming returned to his bedroom, yawned, and fell asleep drowsily.

Nothing happened tonight...

At [-] o'clock the next morning, after breakfast, the expedition team was divided into two teams again, and the logging team also hurried over early in the morning.

Lu Yiming and others took a helicopter to the ruins of the city.

After gaining experience this time, everyone was more cautious. Even the helicopter parked in a flat area outside, for fear that the roar of the helicopter would wake up the monsters.

Moreover, the collected information is more in the form of pictures.

"Clairvoyance" Li Yao waited and watched on the hillside, and soon found a house similar to a kindergarten, surrounded by children's toys such as slides and seesaws.These large toys had yellowish-brown mold growing on their surfaces, and they lay unsteadily on the ground. Only Li Yao, the "clairvoyance", could recognize these things from a distance.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the house is completely run down, so there is no need to worry about a meatball living in it and everyone working.

The expedition team had to use tools such as shovels to move the bricks and tiles for a long time.

But what is surprising is that there is a barely sealed cabinet under the ruins. There are many children's books in the cabinet. Because it has not been exposed to wind and rain, it is actually well preserved!

These children's textbooks were the biggest harvest on the second day, which greatly accelerated the progress of deciphering the language and characters of this unknown civilization...

The harvest on the third day was even greater. In a well-preserved house, people found a lot of written materials!

A map of the city is included!

The reason is that the house is so well preserved, the windows are equipped with anti-theft windows, and the gate is also an alloy anti-theft door, so there is no meatball dove to occupy the magpie's nest.

The expedition team almost looted all the valuables in the room!

Day [-]...

Fortunately, the expedition team found a large factory in the suburbs!

From a human perspective, it looks like a car production base

All kinds of messy parts are densely piled up together. After so many years, many of them are rusted.There are also all kinds of messy bottles and cans, mechanical equipment with mechanical arms, all kinds of messy things.

"It's a good thing, take it back if it's rusty. Repair it and maybe it can be used again. If you move it back, you must find a way to move it back! Our helicopter should be able to lift things and transport them?" Lu Yiming's eyes were red, seeing these equipments When, the whole body is hot.

The pleasure of picking up trash is so strong that he can't stop it...

The only trouble is that the central location of the factory is occupied by several meat balls, so the expedition team can only move a few nearby warehouses.

The harvest of this trip, many places can't even be loaded by transport helicopters!

It took several days of transportation before I packed all the spoils and went home.

On the fifth day... the information on the map has been deciphered by the experts, and the names of key places are marked on the map.

From this day on, the exploration team began to search for more supplies purposefully, and one of the most important goals was the famous university in this city...

Day [-]...

day seven...

In this way, a week passed quickly...

The joy of harvest inspired everyone in the expedition team. At first, everyone felt that this mission was a bit dangerous, but now, everyone likes the feeling of searching for treasures among the garbage.

The work of the felling brigade was quite smooth, and a large amount of wood was piled up on the deck of the Yunhai, which should be enough for a while.

As long as the exploration team avoids those jumping meat balls, the danger can be controlled.

This frankly is the legacy of a civilization laid bare in front of our eyes, ready to be taken by anyone!Even after decades, there are still many things that can be used.In such a big city, you can always find some large machinery that is not too rusty and can be used with repairs.

On the eighth day, when the helicopter returned to the destroyer, there was actually a 10-ton large machine hanging below it!

Chapter 162 The Great Harvest

Seeing the big machine slowly put down and successfully landed on the deck, Lu Yiming looked at this machine as if he looked at his dream lover.

"This machine is the most valuable item...there is actually a clean room in the factory! We managed to move it out of the clean room. Do you know what it is? According to experts' identification, It's a high performance etcher!"

"With this thing, the mass production of the Rune Knife may be settled... Of course, this is a creation of different civilizations, and the debugging process in the middle will take a while."

"What is a clean room?" Captain Fan of another inspection team asked.Although the current logging has come to an end, the collection of animal and plant specimens is still ongoing.

Lu Yiming laughed contentedly and said: "Dust-free workshop? Futukang has heard of it. To produce some high-end products, this kind of clean room is necessary. It is an advanced production workshop where the dust in the air must be controlled to a certain amount. Many electronics The products are produced in the clean room. When personnel enter, they have to wear protective clothing and masks.

"This equipment is very precious! It has been kept in the clean room, filled with some nitrogen and less oxygen, so it is very well preserved."

Even a dead house like Zhong Peng fell in love with this technological machine.He said happily: "The mechanical equipment of other civilizations is exciting to think about. I don't know what kind of changes it can bring to us... I feel that the pressure I have endured these days is quite worth it."

As a man, I always like this kind of thick and strong metal objects.

There will be no shortage of daily necessities in the Sea of ​​Clouds for a while, and the supplies of that large freighter, coupled with the continuous garbage sorting work, will not be a problem to keep daily necessities for a few years.

However, there are still many deficiencies in the operation of the Sea of ​​Clouds.

For example, the number of the most high-end machine tools is not enough, and some sophisticated high-end equipment is also insufficient. This type of equipment is often scarce, and the productivity of the world is limited, and only a few dozen units can be produced a year.In this case, there is no way to have some in every shelter, especially with the disaster coming so fast.

The lack of instruments and equipment has also led to some difficulties in many jobs.

Listening to the discussions of his companions around him, Lu Yiming was also very relaxed. For a week, he hardly encountered any serious danger.

If he didn't encounter some jumping meat balls from time to time, he really wanted to keep picking up trash in this city.

The 25 of them spent a week exploring less than one-thousandth of the area.

Yes, the city is so big, it’s really not even a thousandth of it...

If you magnify the harvest by a factor of 100, the achievement is exhilarating to think about.Some people even felt that more exploration teams should be sent to speed up the progress of the search, but of course this proposal was not passed.
