The world enters the age of myth

After Lu Yiming finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.

Indeed, if you encounter a strange civilization in normal times, you will approach it cautiously, whether it is for more information or something else...

Even if it is a clone of a giant turtle like this!

It is not easy for everyone to wander in this ghost place. As long as there are no major conflicts of interest and everyone is human, there is actually no big problem in transactions.

But now this environment is very depressing, and it is a true portrayal of each other to fly away when disaster strikes.

Yunhaihao feels that he is relatively wealthy and has the means to survive the disaster, but he is afraid of being missed by the other party.

The other party may be the same.

"If the other party also has a way to survive the disaster, and we suddenly go to say hello, will the other party have the same idea as us? The answer is yes, they will be wary of us and worried about us."

"It would be even worse if the other party doesn't have a way to survive the disaster. We don't know what will happen in a desperate situation."

This passage is easy to understand, its correctness is self-evident, and everyone is racking their brains to think about it.

"What if, I mean what if..." one of the scientists opened his hands and said: "What will happen if the other party has a better way to avoid disaster? Is there really no chance of cooperation? What if their method is better than ours? Is hibernation better?”

Hibernation is just a so-so solution, provided that everyone takes turns to spend a month.

But so far, people have not found so many qualified lucid dream operators.

If you are not skilled in controlling lucid dreams, you will die in nightmares. This is a big hidden danger.

Without enough personnel to maintain the Unkai, huge risks may arise.

Therefore, it must have a 100% success rate, so that it can barely persist for a month or two.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said: "Okay, I mean, even if the other party has a better plan to fight nightmares, so what? Will we believe it for no reason? For example, if the other party has a mysterious super power, Will we make concessions if we can resist the nightmare?”

"Let's not talk about whether the other party will trade with us. In this case, the lion will definitely open its mouth, and we will have to pay a huge price... Moreover, will we completely follow this plan? It is definitely impossible."

"Once we enter the Nightmare Continent, can we guarantee that the other party will keep its promise?"

"If the other party does something in this process, we will die! Die in a nightmare! They can completely obtain everything about us. Isn't this motivation enough?"

"We are bound to have a distrust of it."

"In this case, even if our hibernation plan is a little bad, it can still be used. There is no need to cooperate."

"Yes, Lu Yiming is right." Ding Yuan nodded.

After discussing it for a while, everyone chose the "silent plan", which means they agreed with Lu Yiming's point of view.

Since there is nothing to cooperate in this situation, just pretend that the two ships do not observe each other and survive their own disasters.

"Hey, this kind of thing is really troublesome. I didn't expect to encounter another civilization in such a predicament."

"I was thinking whether to take the lead and give them a nuclear bomb." When he came out of the conference room, Shi Dayong was still a little worried.

If the Unkai really hibernates a large number of people, and its industrial capabilities and war capabilities decline significantly, but the other party comes over, how should it respond then?

A normal person needs to lie in bed for a long time when waking up from hibernation. Even if the human body is strengthened, it will still take 20 hours to regain mobility.

In this case, if an emergency occurs, it is impossible to wake up a large number of people to join the battle immediately.

"Launching nuclear bombs seems a bit extreme... If we can't kill the opponent, we will fight to the death."

Lu Yiming shook his head: "We don't have intercontinental missiles here, and there is no satellite guidance in space. The opponent is 5,000 kilometers away from us. How can we hit the opponent?"

"That's true."

Lu Yiming also sighed: "That's why I think that the emergence of an unknown civilization here is not a good thing for us. It will create a lot of variables. If we follow the original trajectory, there is no need to worry so much."

Just take it one step at a time.

In this way, time passes day after day...

The reconnaissance balloon hanging in the sky took a large number of photos and continuously sent this information back to the Unkai.

It can be seen that there are indeed many humans living in the huge turtle boat. These working people are constantly harvesting the plants grown on the surface of the turtle shell to prepare for the dark night in the future. The skin of these people is a bit white, which can be said to be a kind of white-skinned human beings. Their clothes are also very weird, just like the clothes of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

However, the reconnaissance balloon suspended in the sky has no power and is only suspended by the buoyancy of the air.

A few days later, the hot air balloon floated far away.

In the end, only the outline of a huge turtle shell could be detected vaguely. This is also a helpless thing.

The Unkai has never been idle. In addition to nationwide training on lucid dreaming, it has also urgently formulated some measures to deal with external contacts.

Since supernatural phenomena exist in this world, it is actually normal for them to be discovered by the other party in some special way.

What should you do if the other party knows your existence?

A direct attack is not a wise move.

So, the Unkai made some emergency contact plans, discussed the relevant details, and appointed several responsible persons. During the hibernation stage, these awake leaders are the supreme commanders.

About a week later, the large-scale hibernation work officially began!

For those who really don’t have the talent for lucid dreaming, there is no need to practice any more and they might as well just hibernate earlier.

No food is allowed in the days before hibernation. The human stomach and intestines need to be emptied, and no food residue is allowed.

Fortunately, the overall age of the Unkai is relatively young. The oldest is only over 60 years old. There are no overly old people in their 70s or 80s. It is not a big problem if everyone is hungry for a few days before hibernating.

After emptying the stomach and intestines, doctors will inject special hibernation drugs into the hibernator. The person will become drowsy and confused.

In a low-temperature environment, cells are dehydrated to a small extent and the metabolic rate is greatly reduced.

"It's okay. When we wake up, we will reach a safe environment."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Lu Yiming has settled down with his parents and a large group of relatives. Except for Jin Lili, who has the talent of lucid dreaming, others are not good at all, especially the middle-aged and elderly people.

These people really look like frozen meat in the refrigerator...

After the human body is dehydrated, it naturally does not look very good. Even the faces of young girls like Ye Qingqing look like they are in their fifties or sixties, like shriveled zombies.

During hibernation, human metabolism does not disappear completely, but drops to less than one percent of its original level. The heart beats less than once a minute on average, which is very slow.

"I hope everyone can have a good winter."

"goodbye."

The hibernation of 160,000 people was arranged for a total of 7 days.

"Are you done there?"

"Yes, it's done. The Sea of ​​Clouds has never been so clean before. I'm really not used to it."

Everyone's mood seems a bit strange. Usually, I think the Unkai is very crowded. With 170,000 people living and living here, it does seem a bit small. But now, when there are only a few thousand people left, it feels big and empty again.

If you are a timid person, you may not even dare to go out.

The hanging-boot ghost was flying around like flies, and he was a little unhappy. It itself absorbs human panic energy for a living. As a result, the population has shrunk significantly, and it can only remain sick.

The sky was completely dark at this moment, and Yanghe once again fell into an unusual tranquility. The huge ocean turned into a pool of stagnant water without any waves anymore. Such a quiet environment made people feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

However, according to observations from the hot air balloon, the giant turtle ship on the other side did not directly enter the nightmare world.

Therefore, the Unkai followed suit and stayed here as long as possible.

All the sober people are still seizing the time to carry out various trainings in lucid dreaming.

So far, there are still only more than 2,000 people who have barely mastered this technique, and the anxious senior staff are almost cursing. This has a certain correlation with personal talent and mental strength. It is generally easier for people with superpowers to learn this skill.

As for ordinary reinforced soldiers, it seems a bit difficult.

Some people have a success rate of 50%, and some even have a success rate of 90%, but this is completely useless. Based on a 30-day month and sleeping every two days, that means you have to fall asleep 15 times. Even a 90% success rate means that on average you will still fail a little more than once!

This failure is equivalent to death!

Therefore, even a 90% success rate is unqualified!

The current success rate is close to 100%, which is more than a thousand people. Such a little awakening of the population has indeed made everyone feel less at ease.

The two thousand people currently on hand, barely two thousand, can basically be said to be 100% human beings who have mastered the technique of lucid dreaming. If everyone schedules a shift for a month, there will only be 150 people in each shift, which is really enough Use it?

Just like this, another two days passed, and after it was confirmed that the remaining people could not improve the success rate in the short term, they could only arrange for emergency hibernation.

Some shift workers also began to hibernate after completing their final work.

As the number of conscious people on the Unkai has decreased significantly, the environment has become more and more deserted. Even the employees who cook in the canteen have disappeared, making all the conscious people always have a very strange feeling of coming to the doomsday era. illusion.

This feeling of desolation makes people increasingly uncomfortable.
