Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh deterioration
Time quietly came to July of the seventeenth year of the Dark Calendar. It should have been a hot summer day, but it felt like a warm spring.
Large-scale strange commotions broke out in various places. Even though Shen Rui fought in the north and south and attacked everywhere, he was too busy to take care of everything.
As for the mobile defense of the Management Bureau, it sounds good, but in reality, it is also a drop in the bucket.
Castles everywhere can only close themselves in and endure hardships.
For a time, the economic vitality index for that month plummeted to an appalling level. The roads were desolate, caravans were cut off, and even the screams of cicadas on the roadside sounded like cicadas crying to human ears.
But what should have been a green land is now covered in scars and traces of being trampled everywhere.
From north to south, wheat fields, sorghum fields, rice fields, vegetable fields... all were spared.
Shen Rui and Teacher Wu were riding on the wild geese, looking down at the tragic scenes below and sighing endlessly.
"It's such a pity. In just over a month, we will be able to harvest a lot of crops, and we will need three years of savings to make up for them." Teacher Wu said heartbrokenly.
"Yes, I used to wonder why the rations for ordinary people and even students were so poor even though there was still a lot of food in the castle. It turned out to be to prepare for this situation today." Shen Rui also frowned.
He recalled the rations given to students in Luzhou No. 1 Middle School when he was just reborn, which were some potatoes and steamed bread.
Only successful entrants can get some improvement in salary.
So much so that civilians had to take risks to grow grain and raise their own crops privately.
Now it seems that it was not a deduction. The people above have long understood that there will be such risks. Part of the purpose is to focus on cultivating outstanding talents, and part of it is to prepare for today's situation.
If there had been no savings before and no harvest this year, many castles would starve to death.
"But after this year, many castles will have to reduce their daily rations." Teacher Wu sympathized.
Shen Rui nodded. Suddenly he saw an unusual sight and quickly stopped his mount.
"Teacher Wu, look below, the monsters seem to be building their own city?"
Teacher Wu also stopped his mount and looked down intently.
He saw a bend in a big river below. This river was so famous that he could tell it at a glance.
This is an area in the middle section of the Yangtze River. There used to be large areas of cultivated farmland and prosperous cities nearby. This area has long been deserted and overgrown with tall shrubs and grass, becoming a paradise for wild animals.
However, at this time, the place became lively again, and from time to time, noises could be heard coming from below.
"One, two, three, lay the foundation!"
"Four, five, six, let's build a building!"
I saw a large plot of land surrounded by quicklime. The monsters were pushing stones to grind, and some even drove human tractors and excavators. There were even Lanxiang labels on them... Weeds and shrubs were being cleared. Level the terrain and dig the foundation.
There were a few old men riding horses, holding blueprints, walking back and forth, pointing out some weird things around them, with a humble attitude.
Obviously, this is imitating human beings in building cities.
"Hmph, these guys are really ambitious. They don't look down on our ruined cities and want to rebuild the city according to their own figures!" Teacher Wu snorted coldly.
Shen Rui nodded and flew all the way. He had seen many ruins of cities, which had become paradises for monsters. However, it was impossible to live comfortably. After all, human cities were built according to the size of the human body.
For example, the height of a floor is usually between 2.8 and 3.5 meters. This is suitable for some aberrations, but it is very inappropriate for other aberrations, especially those powerful aberrations that tend to have smaller body shapes. increased to more than three meters.
In this case, many ruined buildings are not suitable for their habitation at all. On the contrary, some palaces left over from ancient times and large stadiums built in modern times are very favored by them and have become the nests of their leaders.
"This sign is very dangerous. Judging from Operation Hell, they are going to gradually encroach on our land and really drive us out of this treasure land developed by our ancestors!" Shen Rui frowned.
Teacher Wu sighed, the situation finally deteriorated to this point.
Now, these weirdos are imitating the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They started from a wild tribe, gradually completed the process of building tribes and countries, and finally savagely devoured civilization and plunged Kyushu into a scene of tens of thousands of horses and horses. However, they took the opportunity to rise from barbarism. Promotion.
If the aberrations were to defeat humans, it would only take them hundreds of years to learn human culture and re-complete the transformation of modern concepts. In this case, the battle on the sun would have ended long ago, and the earth would have entered a dark age.
The creatures on earth can only pray for the mercy of the shadows and occasionally expose themselves to the sun for a few days, so as to survive.
Without the sun, relying on the energy reserves of the earth to generate light and heat can only meet temporary needs, and it is impossible for civilization to make any real breakthroughs.
Although humans have many shortcomings, there is no doubt that only humans have the real possibility of solving the solar crisis.
Pillar of Shadows is very accurate in this move, directly grasping the fundamental need of aberrations to rule the earth and pushing them to fight against humans.
Although among these weirdos, there are wise men like Old White Wolf who can understand this, but most of them are those who only look at immediate benefits.
Just like this strange city, it rises quietly under the cover of hell operations.
Even if humans wanted to concentrate their power and come over to destroy it, it would be difficult to do so.
As long as mankind is stuck in the process of fighting against the strange ground, it will be impossible to concentrate on developing spaceships, researching space technology, and landing on the sun.
In Shen Rui's previous life, the great powers were basically in a state of peace. Several countries had the capability of space navigation, as far as Mars. They used unmanned spacecraft and only sent detection robots.
It only takes two to three hundred days to fly from the earth to Mars. The closest distance between Mars and the earth is more than 50 million kilometers, and the farthest point is 400 million kilometers. The distance between the sun and the earth is 150 million kilometers. It is not An insurmountable distance.
Space flight and distance are not the problem. The real difficulty is how to set foot on the sun.
The sun is a very complex sphere that emits heat. Traditional popular science says that its surface temperature is 6,000 degrees.
In fact, there is a very thick layer of atmosphere outside it, and the temperature of the outer atmosphere is much higher, more than three hundred times the surface temperature, up to millions of degrees.
How to cross this atmosphere and reach the real surface of the sun is the difficulty of landing.
Traditional technology cannot do this and must rely on special particles to insulate the temperature. But humans currently have no time to study these technologies.
The Pillar of Shadows can see clearly that if humans are allowed to recover, they will immediately send spaceships to detect the movement of the sun.
The whole process will take no more than ten years, and humans will be able to land on the sun.
You have to know that in the previous life, it was possible to land on Mars in a stress-free environment, let alone now? The whole world will join forces to support and share space technology.
"Do you want to destroy this city?" Shen Rui asked.
For him, it was too easy to do this. Most of the people working below were ordinary aberrations, mostly second- and third-level monsters.
The strongest ones are just a few seventh-level leaders.
Ever since he hunted two level 8 aberrations, those level 8 aberrations seemed to have completely shrunk, and none of them took the initiative to challenge him or ambush him.
On the contrary, those who ambush him are usually sixth to seventh level opponents.
