I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early Chapter 482

Chapter 482: Chapter 357: The Dark Forest Law Chapter 482: Chapter 357: The Dark Forest Law After repeated comparisons and observations, this 1000 square kiloter coral reef is indeed moving slowly with the waves, like a huge and stable ship.

Since its size is much larger than Sky City, its stability is naturally quite high.

This fact also filled Lu Yuan with a great deal of emotion; every civilization has its own opportunities.

The Sha Li Clan was born in Sky City and even had the chance to scavenge through the remains of the Green Grass Civilization, but the Sha Li Clan was too weak to seize the opportunity and perished.

The Mandala Empire, if they could have tad the Painted Skin, what an advantage that would have been?

But they didn’t seize it and were also wiped out.

And this strange civilization, to inherently possess a mobile coral reef, how great an innate advantage is that?

...

Just by installing the Pandora Crystal Stone, wouldn’t it beco a ready-made…

Sky City?

This phenonon truly inspires awe.

Then, everyone started discussing how exactly to make contact with this civilization, although it wasn’t the first ti making contact with an Exotic Realm Civilization, the more they knew, the more anxious they beca.

Should they take a condescending approach, interact as equals, or just establish a simple trading relationship?

Lu Tiantian had a suggestion: “Why don’t we copy the contact plan of the Shu Mi Dam Civilization?

We’ll pretend to be a trade caravan, seeking wealth across the Pangu Continent for the developnt of our mother civilization.”

“Anyway, even if we are exposed, it would be enough to send out a Floating Fortress.”

“This plan might also make the other side sowhat wary.

Let’s keep Sky City hidden if possible.”

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples and shook his head: “But I think we might have already been exposed…

they have already sent us a trading communication.”

“And their materialistic technology is even more incredible than ours…

we don’t even understand the principles behind their electromagnetic waves.

A re five hundred kiloters isn’t really that far for a civilization with advanced materialistic technology.”

Hearing this, people couldn’t help but be frustrated.

Materialism and Idealism really are two different directions.

Concealing Rune is good, but it only makes us look like a piece of coral reef, rather than true optical invisibility…

And the green forests on Green Mountain are simply too difficult to hide; it’s impossible to deceive an intelligent civilization.

Our technological capability is still too weak…

Lu Yuan contemplated how to better protect Sky City in the future.

Shield Rune?

Invisibility Rune?

Solid Rune is currently the most practical solution…

Thinking like this, humans still have a lot lacking.

He sighed deeply: “Our only advantage is that the City can take off and run.”

“But before things turn sour, we shouldn’t easily use this trump card.”

Jin Dongliang nodded in agreent: “Since they used that strange electromagnetic signal, should we also give them a warning?”

Lu Yuan frowned, making up his mind: “Done!

Civilizational exchange is not easy, showing so deterrence is normal…

but what should we do?”

“How about using Spirit Rune to send[Trade!

Legendary Masterpiece!

Spirit!]What do you think?”

“We’re really copying everything, aren’t we…” Lu Yuan couldn’t help but complain.

This brought laughter from the people.

The atmosphere in the detection room was sowhat serious but not too oppressive.

Indeed, humans have grown to a point where they don’t need to panic over everything.

Just making contact with an Exotic Realm Civilization, how does it matter if their Materialism technology is stronger than ours?

They’re not an interstellar civilization!

How much stronger could they be?

We need to prepare for the worst but also have confidence!

“`

And so, over a thousand people boarded the Floating Fortress, took a small detour, and finally stopped at a position two hundred kiloters close to the Coral Fortress.

Soldiers pasted a mysterious Spiritual Talisman Paper onto a horn-shaped device.

Then a Translator stood in front of the horn and shouted loudly, “[Trade!

Legendary Masterpiece!

Spirit!]”

The sound caused a storm that swept across with extre speed.

A few minutes later, the other party transmitted electromagnetic waves once again.

On the screen, a baffling sentence appeared again: “Purchasing everything!

Masterpieces!

Technology!

Population!

Spirit Essence!”

“How’s it going?” Lu Yuan hurriedly asked an information expert.

This information expert said, “It should not be purely materialistic technology, mixed with a small amount of idealistic elents.

Only computers with a certain computing power have experienced slight chaos.”

“But radios, telegraphs, and other low-computing power devices did not respond.”

“In addition, the Hu Instrunt detected very slight idealistic fluctuations, a type we have never discovered before.”

The Hu Instrunt is a set of equipnt developed by drawing on the technology of the Source Fire Civilization, capable of detecting the intensity of idealistic attributes such as Yang attribute, Light attribute, Life Attribute, etc…

and attempts to asure the strength of superpowers in nurical values.

Upon hearing it was an idealistic ability, Lu Yuan was not only not nervous but actually breathed a sigh of relief.

There are so many superpowers in the world, it is normal for so to affect semiconductors.

The capabilities of materialistic technology, once raised to a certain level, can be terrifyingly destructive.

“Not being materialistic is actually good news.”

“Wait a minute, does this information they spoke of an they already know a lot?” The Super-thinker from the desert frowned deeply, “How would they know the term ‘Spirit Essence’?

Could it be that they left the Safe Zone a long ti ago?

Or have they encountered an Alien Civilization?”

“Or even more, have they found the relics of a High-level Civilization?”

“That’s normal too,” remarked Jin Dongliang sowhat helplessly, “you can’t really prevent others from scavenging.”

“No, no, no, what I an is, could their use of the term ‘Spirit Essence’ be a probe?” The desert said seriously, “Could they be trying to gauge our knowledge about the Pangu Continent?

Do you all think there’s a possibility?”

Lu Yuan’s pupils dilated.

Indeed, the term “Spirit Essence” was only clearly conceptualized by humans after contact with the Shu Mi Dam Civilization.

Otherwise, people were sowhat muddled about it, vague at best.

Of course, if it’s just a term, there’s no need to panic.

But more importantly, behind it lies a whole system of brutal values—destroying a civilization and plundering its resources are the main ways to obtain Spirit Essence!

This is virtually no different from the Law of the Dark Forest.

Discovery!

Probe!

War!

Even humans, having scavenged so much from ruins, could they say they’re truly wealthy and have achieved financial freedom?

Obviously not, still a far cry away!

The desert continued, “We can further deduce that this unknown civilization actually already knows the rules of Gambling.

It is very likely they are testing us to see if we have the corresponding information…”

“If we are completely ignorant…

then, the other party has a certain probability of making a strategic misjudgnt, leading to the outbreak of war.”

“After all, when it cos to population scale and city scale, we are not at an advantage compared to the other party…”

“Even in terms of materialistic technology, our side is not at an advantage.”

“As for idealistic technology, well, it’s hard to say…

if we don’t asure our strengths, it is indeed impossible to rule out the risk of war.

The only way to eliminate this risk is…

Gambling!”

All of a sudden, the situation turned dire!

The eting room fell into deafening silence!
