As the strongest reflective metal, mirror steel is as bright as the sun.
But even so, the metal cage still banged and squeaked heart-breakingly, as if the monster inside might escape at any time.
Its terrifying aura made even Zhang Ming, who was addicted to the illusion of spiritual language, take a breath of cold air and goosebumps all over his body.
This giant dragon...he has no confidence in winning!
Extraordinary life?
A creature with bat wings on its back was speaking on the stage: "This is an extraordinary life, a terrifying shadow beast transformed from the Dragon of the Sky. It has the ability to control the weather."
"Before losing control, he voluntarily entered the mirror cage, and now he has completely lost his mind. Everyone has seen that even extraordinary beings will be polluted and out of control after contact with the darkness in the netherworld, let alone ordinary beings like us."
"Currently, we must consume more of the source of the world in order to protect the world."
"This value is slowly becoming more than we can make ends meet. I believe everyone doesn't want to spend it like this for a long time."
"The only chance of survival is to jump to other world communities through the leap ability of the world will!"
"Even jump to another, safer world."
Jump to another world ring? This plan is too exaggerated!
Anyway, Zhang Ming doesn't even know how big the world community is. As for the larger concept of the world ring... well, it may be a distance that an aerospace plane cannot traverse in a lifetime of flying.
At that time, these seven statues had not been built in this place. Instead, there were huge pyramid-shaped buildings hundreds of meters high. The meeting place is in this pyramid building.
Zhang Ming named this civilization "Bat People". They have wide wings and are a race born to fly.
This race is so superior. They live in skyscrapers and don't even need an elevator. They can fly to the top in one flight. The flying speed of some powerful people is comparable to that of a supersonic aircraft!
Other races also have their own advantages. For example, the lion-like race is tall and muscular. At first glance, it looks like a species with extremely excellent melee strength.
The eagle-like bird, with its sparkling eyes, may have a great advantage in perception.
Of course, in the face of a world community-level disaster, no matter how high your race value is, you can't defeat the endless shadow beasts.
Therefore, it has become a matter of course for multiple civilizations to unite to resist disasters.
The bat man on the stage fell silent at the end, as if he was the host here.
Under the stage were representatives of six other races.
A lion-like intelligent creature said: "We simply don't have enough world sources to jump to another world ring."
"At most, we can only jump to the world community next door. This move alone will require more than 100,000 world sources! Where did we get so many?!"
Another representative of another race objected: "No, no, no. If you jump to the community next door, you will die a few hundred years later at most. This disaster in the netherworld will inevitably spread on a large scale... How many worlds can be accumulated in a few hundred years? Source? It’s better to buy peace at once and jump to a more distant place!”
"It's simply impossible. A world-ring-level jump might cost one billion or more! Even the Demon God can't produce a world source worth one billion, right?!"
This is also true. The most powerful ability of the world's will is to protect itself and internal fine-tuning, such as the movement of tectonic plates, weather control, allowing plants to have abundant harvests in certain places, the application of certain unique technologies, etc. These mysterious functions can be achieved by spending a small amount of world source.
The ability to jump in space is just an incidental ability, which is equivalent to the simplest and crudest form of recklessness.
Through a massive source of the world, a miracle was created to forcefully open a space tunnel.
This method's utilization rate of the source of the world is too low, and most of the energy is wasted.
Therefore, there are many unique technologies that can reduce this transmission cost.
But no matter what, facing a huge gap of four orders of magnitude, it is like an insurmountable chasm for these civilizations.
A relatively powerful civilization would be considered rich if it had accumulated tens of thousands of World Sources; a relatively weak civilization would only have an inventory of several hundred or even thousands.
"Everyone, please listen to me!" After listening to everyone's discussion, the creature with bat wings coughed heavily, "I am a civilized person. I have traveled across the Sea of Demon Gods for six thousand years. Taking the civilized contract as the honor, I have indeed accumulated a lot of money. It’s less of the source of the world, but it’s really far from being able to jump to the world ring next door.”
"But there are many ways to reduce the cost of transition!"
"I would like to hear the details." All the representatives present cheered up.
"First, space technology! As long as you find weak points in space and jump along these weak areas, you can effectively reduce the consumption of the source of the world. According to our calculations, demon-level space capabilities can reduce the jump cost by 2-3 An order of magnitude!”
"Yingkong Civilization, your unique technology is space technology, right? Do you have any research in this area?" He looked at one of the parliament representatives.
The representative of Yingkong Civilization pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "How can our clan... how can we compare with the Space Demon God? If we can create a few space props, we are considered good."
"However, our clan can indeed predict the emergence point of space-time storms in advance, as well as the transmission direction of space-time storms... As for whether it can reduce the cost of transition, it is really not clear. We have not studied it, so we have to go back and ask about this aspect. The elder."
Even short-distance jumps between the same community will consume hundreds or thousands of world sources.
Even the most fertile civilization would not be able to use thousands of World Sources for experiments!
And he only said half of this sentence. The representative of Yingkong Civilization secretly thought, this is a unique technology, why should we contribute it and dedicate it to you?
No matter what, you guys have to use chips to trade, right? !
The host Batman added: "Second, the greater the mass of the jump, the wider the shelter range, and the more the source of the world is consumed."
He showed an image of the surface of a planet on the screen: "Everyone should know this truth. A large part of the mass of a world is invalid."
"As long as we peel off the earth's crust from the planet, the cost of space jump will be greatly reduced!"
Zhang Ming, who was in the spiritual dreamland, was extremely shocked. He peeled off the earth's crust and turned it into a ship. You are really smart!
Soon, another civilization objected: "No, after the ecosystem is completely destroyed, the will of the world will be greatly weakened, the source of the world produced will be greatly reduced, and the ability to jump will also be reduced."
"And what's the difference between this and suicide?"
"What's more, how much work is required to peel off the earth's crust? How to peel it off? If we use conventional scientific and technological means, we won't be able to peel it off even if it takes 10,000 years!"
Opposition voices came one after another. This plan was too exaggerated!
The bat talent said: "Everyone, the method of peeling off is very simple. Use world consciousness, move the space once, and spend a little more world source to peel off the earth's crust directly."
"The world consciousness has its own special wisdom. It can predict that this is an unbearable horrific disaster. If it doesn't do this, it will be completely destroyed. As long as it communicates well, it will find a way to survive with its arms broken..."
"As for the problem that the world's will will weaken...that is also an inevitable fact, but overall, the cost of the jump will still be greatly reduced."
"We made a simple estimate. We only need to transport 1 million square kilometers of earth's crust, about two kilometers thick, to jump to the world ring next door, and only need about 3 million world sources."
"If 500,000 square kilometers of the earth's crust were to be teleported, approximately 2.4 million of the source of the world would be consumed... As the will of the world continues to weaken, the numerical relationship is not linear."
"But no matter what, the smaller the land being teleported, the smaller the cost will still be."
"If you only transport 100,000 square kilometers of the earth's crust, the cost will be one million."
Comparing one million to one billion, consumption has dropped by three orders of magnitude, which is one thousandth of the original. Combined with space technology and various miscellaneous technologies, it is possible to drop another order of magnitude.
"In other words... about 100,000 world sources can be transported to another world ring?"
But the price is that 100,000 square kilometers of land is really too small. How many people can it support? Moreover, the will of the world has been greatly weakened, the protection ability has been reduced, and monsters are more likely to infiltrate.
What's more, how many people can be crammed into seven races and a land area of 100,000 square kilometers?
Resources and space are all limited. If you have more, I will lose one. Why don't you beat your brains out? !
Batman seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction, and finally said calmly: "Everyone, our goal is to survive in this disaster! Happy life, peaceful life, are all far away, all we have to do is A...survival!"
"Just to find a suitable living area, we don't necessarily have to teleport across the world ring. Maybe if we teleport halfway, we will be safe enough. By then, everyone will look for a new world where we can develop, and the conflicts will naturally be reduced."
"In addition, our land area is sufficient. With a crustal thickness of 2,000 meters, even if one layer is 50 meters high, there are still 40 layers."
"In this way, it is 4 million square kilometers of land, which is actually a lot of habitable area."
"Even if it is a little crowded, it can still be accommodated. If you are really not satisfied, you can buy more land. Of course, the price is that the jump will consume more and the distance will be shorter."
This is a plan acceptable to all civilizations. Each civilization has a continent and does not live together. The conflicts can actually be controlled.
