Chapter 358 [Gambling!]



Lu Yuan realized this point, his pupils dilated, and he broke out in a cold sweat due to shock.

This damn world, the more you know, the greater the risk—how is it any different from the Dark Forest?

Two civilizations that know nothing of each other can coexist peacefully, even "call each other brothers" and "form offensive and defensive alliances"! Just like the initial friendship between Humans and Rize Civilization, it was indeed precious.

But when a knowledgeable individual and an ignorant one meet, there might be cooperation or war, depending on what the former thinks.

When two knowledgeable ones come together, it's all caution... no one knows whether the other has the intention to kill!

One misstep could lead to total loss!

There's no choice now, only to rely on the rules of the Eighth Epoch to eliminate the risk of war.

This Translator shouted through a large megaphone: "Gambling!"

The sound traveled far.

In fact, the people inside the conference room were also somewhat nervous, discussing the theoretical combat capability of this group of Mermen.

"Civilizations with a large number of nuclear bombs should be rare..."

"Because the City chosen by 'God' is usually a typical city of that civilization, with a large population. And normal civilizations are unlikely to be mad enough to deploy a large number of nuclear weapons in the city."

"Moreover, with a population in the millions, it is hard enough to maintain a few dozen nuclear bombs. To maintain thousands would be industrially unsustainable."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "So you're saying... even if that civilization has nuclear bombs, it could only be a few dozen, not enough to destroy Sky City?"

"Yes, and you might be overestimating the power of nuclear bombs. A 100 kiloton nuclear weapon can be easily defended against with just 3 meters of concrete and the addition of Solid Engravings. So it is very difficult to destroy Sky City."

This news was like a shot of adrenaline, striking right at the heart—the Solid Engravings of Sky City were dense and present in every wall!

Some officers also discussed whether they should let Sky City take off and evacuate urgently.

But Lu Yuan still shook his head, suppressing these suggestions because the city's escape speed was slow, making it a big target.

Once you flee into the sky, it not only makes you appear weak, but it also triggers the greed of others.

"We must show our strong side."

"And cultural exchanges are not necessarily a bad thing."

Humans so decisively issuing a "Gambling" invite might also have shocked the other side.

For a long time, there was no new message.

Instead, the scout squadron sent new information: "Report to command! We have observed a large group of Aliens working on the seabed, possibly their civilians..."

"There are many deep-sea Merman-shaped creatures, who seem to be cultivating life in the coral reefs."

"The swimming speed of these intelligent beings is comparable to fish... around 40 kilometers per hour."

"Even at a depth of 6000 meters, they can swim comfortably."

"(*Static*) Report, the enemy fleet is on the move!!"

"There are a total of 13 ships, with the largest one comparable to the size of an aircraft carrier, similar in size to our Floating Fortress."

"We observed technological creations shaped like missiles on the surface of the coral reefs, totaling possibly over twenty missile launchers and hundreds of heavy tanks, and we estimate there may be some underground missile silos aimed in the direction of our Sky City."

This message somewhat relaxed everyone, as these medium-range missiles, even if all were hydrogen bombs, could be withstood by Sky City.

The Fire Source Cannons on the human side could also hit the coral reefs, and Sky City had all its weapons ready, including the currently most powerful "Spirit Rune Bomb," which was already loaded. This formed a mutual deterrent.

Another ocean survey team also sent a message: "This large coral reef may be 2.3 kilometers thick; most of it is hidden underwater."

"We observed many unmanned submarines and suspicious mechanical fish. [Photo][Photo]"

This data was sent like snowflakes to the fleet's computers.

This computer was not ordinary semiconductor technology but the "Black Brilliance Computer" from the Source Fire Civilization, incorporating some Idealism Technology, making it less likely to be breached by computer viruses.

But Humans still could not rule out the possibility of being eavesdropped on and monitored.

No way around it, there are just too few semiconductor talents... many were copied from the Human mother civilization and are in a state of half-understanding.

Lu Yuan himself was also under great pressure; he informed the rear to be ready for refuge at any time.

Especially for the Extraordinary Creatures of Green Mountain, they must be handled properly.

Also, a full hundred Puppet War Mechas were activated; these devices are equipped with Rune Bullets and "Source Fire Cannons," boasting formidable fighting power.

From this angle, Humans, compared to decades ago when they had to purchase weapons from Rize Civilization, had indeed become countless times stronger. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"What a pity, if only we had developed high-energy lasers, then we could intercept nuclear bombs directly."

Lu Yuan was mentally exhausted for a while, and finally, the other side's message arrived.

"We are the South Island Civilization, and we accept the Gambling!"

His heart thumped heavily; the other side indeed knew the rules of Gambling.

He then sent that translation expert to imitate Shu Mi Dam Civilization and shouted a few phrases: "[We are Human Civilization, passing by this place, to make friends through martial arts]."
