The world enters the age of myth

With almost the last two kilometers left, the engines of the shelters on both sides slowly stopped, and the two sides came to a standstill. A certain distance must be maintained between ships. If they get too close, they may collide directly. Even if there is a slight scratch between the two behemoths, someone will still be killed.

"Li Yao, do you see clearly?" Ding Yuan asked: "The other party should...not be a monster, right?"

Li Yao squinted his eyes and frowned: "There are hundreds of patrol soldiers standing on the other side's deck. Their expressions are very rich, their faces are reddish, and the blood vessels on their faces are thickened, which is a symbol of excitement. Look. They should look like humans, but we have to observe them closely."

"Judging from the enthusiastic reactions of the people on the deck, they seem to be human beings. Some people are waving and some are yelling. They are just curious and yearning. Most civilians still very much hope to come into contact with a person. A stronger refuge, there is no doubt about it.”

Several other people with clairvoyance and superpowers also agreed, "Yes. Judging from their behavior, they are normal human beings... There is nothing weird found yet."

And several people with super powers who have ears for the wind are eavesdropping on the roars of the people on the South Wind. Even if they are two kilometers apart, they can still be heard clearly.

However, the ability of Shunfeng Ear is still slightly weaker than that of clairvoyance. In addition, they do not understand the language of Lanmeng, so it is too difficult to distinguish effective sounds from a large amount of noise.

"Report! I haven't heard any particularly strange sounds for the time being." The captain was a little embarrassed: "We don't understand their language either. We have to listen again..."

Ding Yuan nodded and said: "Since there is nothing unusual, let's send a notice and let the other party come for a diplomatic visit. The wording of the letter should be a little more friendly."

"clear!"

After a while, the other party prepared a small ship, carried some diplomats, and drove slowly to the dock of the Unkai.

A total of more than 20 people walked off the ship. After the leader, a middle-aged man, stepped onto the deck, he saw the Unkai, which was as huge as a small island. He took a deep breath, and then met the person at the front. One of the Unkai diplomats shook hands.

The so-called "diplomat" was also temporarily selected, a university professor who studies international politics, Mr. Kang Jian.

It was just an ice-breaking trip. There was no need for Ding Yuan, the supreme leader, to directly receive the other party. That would be unreasonable and not in line with etiquette standards.

The middle-aged man from the Nanfeng spoke fluent Chinese: "Dear friends from the Yunhai, hello! My name is Li Chengdong, the deputy captain of the Nanfeng shelter. On behalf of the Nanfeng, I Thousands of residents come here with the most sincere respect... We are very happy to see you in the vast sea."

"Before we met you, we even thought that we were the only remaining people on earth. We are so lucky."

There are really only more than 10,000 people...

Lu Yiming was stunned for a moment, but he soon felt relieved. It must not be easy for everyone.

He was observing the movements of the Nanfeng group, carefully observing every detail.

This group of people passed the security inspection device quickly. Judging from the photos taken by the X-ray equipment, there were no major problems.

Li Chengdong's speech was also quite friendly and he communicated in Chinese throughout the process.

Usually in diplomatic situations, more English is used, but in this case, when the country is in ruins, the weaker party uses the language of the stronger party, which is a reflection of friendship.

Mr. Kang on the Yunhai side said: "Dear Mr. Li Chengdong, due to the special nature of our current location, we will not fire the salute. Please forgive me."

"No problem, of course there is no problem with this."

"Please come with me this way."

The two began to chat casually, vaguely asking each other about the situation in the shelter, hoping to find out more information.

"Hey, this is... Gondor?" Shi Dayong suddenly spotted an acquaintance in front of the screen.

"What, do you know each other?" Lu Yiming asked.

Shi Dayong laughed and said: "Yes, we once worked together on an anti-terrorism mission in the Delta! We killed many drug dealers at that time."

Lu Yiming said: "Go and say hello to him and test him out."

"Hey, Gang, are you still alive?" Shi Dayong nodded, walked out of the monitoring room and said hello.

"Shi... Dayong!" When this capable man with yellow skin saw an acquaintance, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help shouting.

The two came into a bear hug. They had fought and fought together, and there was always a bit of comradeship between them.

"We can't rule out the trick of acquaintances for the time being..." Lu Yiming thought of the "brain-controlled insect incident" that had happened, "but the X-ray equipment didn't reveal anything."

Li Yao whispered beside Lu Yiming: "It should be no problem. I also know this soldier captain. He is a superhuman superpower. His special ability is color change. He can change the color of his skin. Let him show it. Just one superpower. Brain control insects can imitate humans, but they shouldn’t be able to imitate human superpowers.”

"Has it changed color..."

"Yes, but the main purpose is not to turn yourself into black or blue skin, but to become colorless and transparent! So his assassination and stealth abilities are very good, and he is a very good scout."

Shi Dayong heard the rear command from the earphones and said directly: "Gondor, can you still use your super power? Show it to your buddy!"

"No problem!" Gondor vaguely understood something, and his skin quickly turned black, like a piece of black coal.

After a few seconds, it quickly resumed.

"He should be right." Li Yao breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Lu Yiming glanced at the screen carefully: "If it is a colorless ability, can the infrared camera detect the other party?"

"I'm not sure. Color change means all colors change. Infrared light is also a color, right?"

Liu Xuwei also came over and laughed: "The super power of turning yourself into a transparent person is so awesome. It's so easy to do bad things with this super power! I have imagined before that I have the ability to be invisible. After that, I went to the supermarket to pick up the items directly, and the salesperson’s expression when he saw the items flying around. Haha, there are also women..."

Lu Yiming hit him on the head with a chestnut, making a "dong" sound.

"We are discussing business, be serious!"

"ah!"

Liu Xuwei said quickly: "It's very simple. Infrared rays, dust, or water vapor will all do... If he can only make himself transparent, but not his clothes or shoes, he can be seen through if there is some dust on his body. The soles of his feet will not Is it dusty? It would always be strange to see a large piece of dust flying in the air."

"In addition, we have so many superpowers with sensitive hearing. If they make some noise, they will be easily discovered. It is impossible for him to hide all his movements."

What these words say is true. At present, human beings' superpowers are still not too powerful, but they are better at hiding. Once they are made public, there will always be some ways to crack them.

Closer to home, the lively discussions at the rear did not hinder the mutual condolences and conversations at the front.

In order to prevent the "brain control insects" from pretending to be acquaintances again, the reception group of the Unkai quickly asked all the diplomatic visitors to drink a cup of fragrant milk coffee, and then a group of people entered the cocoa plantation and had a cordial conversation.

"The Unkai... is such a huge ship! There is actually extra space for growing coffee trees. Your food reserves here must be quite rich, right?"

Li Chengdong took a nice sip of coffee and suddenly felt refreshed.

The rich coffee, paired with milk and a small amount of sugar, was really smooth and enjoyable. He hadn't tasted something so delicious for a long, long time.

The coffee they carried has been finished long ago. Even if he is a senior officer of the Nanfeng, he does not receive such treatment.

Thinking of this, all the diplomatic visitors couldn't help but feel a little yearning.

He sighed again: "Like our Nanfeng shelter, almost all the space is planted with high-yielding plants such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. There is really no extra land to plant these things."

Mr. Kang from Yunhai said: "We at Yunhai have a complete set of soilless cultivation production lines, so food production capacity is not a problem. The most troublesome thing is meat. More livestock, chickens, ducks and pigs, require larger Space will also produce greater pollution, and if the breeding density is too high, plague will easily occur."

"So the output won't be able to increase for a while."

Regarding food, the Unkai uses a constant warehouse system and reserves rations for about a year. Moreover, food is also relatively diversified, including rice, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, etc.

With a large amount of reserves, even if all the grain production lines are destroyed, the reserve rations will be enough for everyone to eat for a year.

Grains that are about to expire can be used as animal feed, and then newly produced grains can be stored back.

Food is the foundation of life. Whoever controls food controls the entire world.

If there is no reserve, the production is just enough to eat, which means that we cannot bear any risks. Once there is a grain failure, a 10% less harvest will not mean a 10% increase in prices, but 10% of people will starve to death. This is unacceptable for society as a whole.

Talking about these contents, Li Chengdong said with emotion: "Yes, you are right. In order to supplement protein, we can only raise some bugs over there. But the bugs have to be fried to be delicious. As for other cooking methods, the taste is indeed not good. how is everything……"

These experiences in development are encountered in almost every shelter. Talking about these common topics quickly narrowed the distance between the two parties.

After talking to this point, several of the followers following him couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, recalling some of their past experiences.

Like boiled caterpillars and steamed caterpillars, they are completely dark cuisine level foods. As long as they are not about to starve to death, most people will not eat such dark food. As for the fried bugs, they taste pretty good, but the cost is too high and it’s impossible to have so much oil.

Edible oil can only be squeezed out from peanuts, soybeans, and sesame seeds, and the yields of these plants are certainly not high.

"What are the round iron cans on your deck? There seems to be quite a lot of them." Li Chengdong asked pretending to be casual.

These are not big secrets. Mr. Kang said directly: "Oh, it contains nutrient solution fermented by modified yeast. These nutrient solutions can be widely used in soilless cultivation."

"Are there animals in those houses?"

"Not really, but a biofuel manufacturing base. We have many restaurants on the Unkai, and there are always some leftovers, as well as by-products such as waste oil. These things have been treated by microorganisms , able to produce qualified fuel to facilitate secondary use.”

"You should be able to understand that the utilization of renewable resources is the top priority of our current work. It is difficult for us to obtain more resources in this sea, and we must maximize their utilization."
