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

Interacting with a powerful technological civilization, people still feel a bit of pressure.

Soon, Lu Yuan gathered more government officials and soldiers to discuss security matters in the reconnaissance room.

"Although Sky City is vast, so far, there is still no means to defend against nuclear bombs... Although we have engraved a large number of Solid Runes on the walls, it is still possible for it to sink under the attack of numerous hydrogen bombs."

True survival abilities are only possessed by Third-level Civilizations and even Fourth-level Civilizations.

Moreover, whether the unspoken rules of the Eighth Epoch have spread is also a big problem—the benefits brought by war are too high, which makes it necessary to be cautious.

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples and said seriously, "Halt the drifting movement of Sky City, dispatch the Flying Team to locate this civilization!"

"Be sure to hide well, and return immediately after finding the opponent's location!"

"Do not initiate an attack rashly if we are not provoked."

"Yes!"

The Flying Team is a combination of small Insect Soldiers and Human reconnoitre soldiers.

Only a little over a hundred people in total, the focus is on the quality of soldiers, and each has the Qi Skill in reconnaissance, each one is top-notch.

"If we find them, should we initiate a Gambling fight?" Jin Dongliang was eager, rubbing his hands, "I feel we are quite strong now with upgraded equipment."

As a strong player in the Field, he was getting restless.

"No, no!" Lu Tiantian was the first to express opposition.

"The reason why the Shu Mi Dam Civilization dares to engage in Gambling is that they possess Level Four Civilization's survival technology, even if relations sour, they can escape calmly without any loss. They simply do not care about the death of those low-level Ratmen."

"But we do not have survival technology, and engaging in war with a technological civilization would bring disastrous consequences."

"It's not that we can't win... If the city becomes contaminated with nuclear waste, the trouble will be huge..."

"Exactly." Another Super-thinker, Sha Mo, also agreed, "This set of gambling rules was born in an extremely harsh environment, and currently, our environment has not deteriorated to that degree."

"If we do not intend to go to war, there's no need to forcefully promote it."

At that time, the Shu Mi Dam Civilization really did intend to go to war... if humans were too weak, they would be devoured in one gulp!

As for something like a nuclear bomb, Ratmen are not afraid, they can hide underground, what of nuclear bombs then?

But humans are different.

Based solely on the fact that both parties are technological civilizations, war would lead to mutual destruction.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yeah, don't underestimate other civilizations either. Like the Mandala Empire, even though it is a feudal civilization, its innate heritage is also decent."

"We still don't have nuclear bombs, sigh..."

Most of the uranium mined by humans is uranium-238, while atomic bombs require uranium-235, which is quite distressing.

Experts believe that the Pangu Continent is older than Earth, uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, while uranium-235 has a half-life of 700 million years, hence in older places, the content of uranium-235 will be lower.

Of course, the excess slow neutrons in a heavy water reactor can convert uranium-238 into plutonium-239, which is the raw material for making atomic bombs, so as long as there is enough time, humans can also produce nuclear bombs, just not in large quantities. Anyway, this matter is quite troublesome, pure physical technology just has so many limitations.

"Also, should we activate our Floating Fortress?" Colonel Guo Dafeng asked.

"Yes, indeed necessary."

The mobility of Sky City is too poor, only able to move a few kilometers per hour, essentially a slowly moving target.

But for external contacts, you have to send out a ship or something, there needs to be a proper base that looks good, right?

In civilization exchanges, face is equivalent to reality!

For this, engineers had carefully crafted a backup "Floating Fortress" over the past few years, reaching the 100,000-ton class scale of an aircraft carrier!

This Floating Fortress also used the anti-gravity system of Pandora Crystal Stone, along with turbo engines, radar reconnaissance systems, etc., probably allowing around five thousand personnel to survive aboard the Floating Fortress for about half a year.

In necessary situations, it could also float on the surface, serving as an aircraft carrier.

This aircraft carrier is the main base for external contacts, even if it is bombed, the loss can still be tolerated.

Thus, after everything was ready, the Floating Fortress was officially launched.

Compared to Sky City, it was like a small chick, but a volume of 100,000 tons was actually not bad either, just the deck alone was the size of three standard playgrounds.

And this thing could drift on the water surface, reaching speeds of 30 kilometers per hour, and its mobility was quite decent.

Lines of soldiers were quickly selected, Lu Yuan felt there was no need to deploy too many soldiers, about a thousand would be sufficient, but some experts had to be included in case "Gambling" sort of events occurred.

Before long, the Reconnaissance Team sent a message: "Found that alien civilization! A civilization living on coral, 500 kilometers from us! Surrounded by a deliberately created cloud of mist, which is why it was not found initially."

The group quickly washed out the photos, carefully examining them.

This unique civilization, about 500 kilometers from here, had Gothic-style houses located on large coral reefs.

They had hands and feet, some of them had scales on their bodies, and some had fair skin with fewer scales.

Crucially, their appearance and physique actually quite matched human aesthetics, just like the legendary mermaids.

The females looked slender and elegant, while the males had more scales, with some fin-like structures on their legs,SLOT enabling them to swim faster in the water.

"Human subspecies...or Merman Race?" Lu Yuan pondered.

Humans are a very widespread race on the Pangu Continent, including the Green Grass People, Earth People, Mandala Empire, all belonging to the human category.

Of course, even within the same race, there can sometimes be reproductive isolation.

Like Earth People and Green Grass People, there really is reproductive isolation, so Lu Yuan and Conch might not be able to have children... Of course, this isn't a big problem in the Supernatural era.

The volume of this large coral reef was even greater than that of Sky City, at a glance, it surpassed 1000 square kilometers!

A large part of it was hidden in a deliberately created dense fog.

This was already the size of a Daxia County city, thus the number of Mermen active on the coral reef was not few, estimated to be over a million.

"Hey...is this patch of coral floating on the water surface?" a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly said, "In several photos, the position of the coral reef shifted slightly."
