Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 352: Electric squirrel and iron raccoon
New World.
On the east coast of the Endless Ocean, Dawn Port.
One hundred and twenty years ago, the pioneers of Far Shore Island drove the most advanced steam-powered voyage ship at that time, set off towards the endless ocean on the west side of the Terra continent, and finally arrived at the New World.
According to the intelligence of the high-ranking sublimators at that time, although the New World was barren and barren, it had a lot of precious mineral resources because it was a new continent. A certain mining value has attracted a group of people to take risks.
Because at that time, the far shore island was fighting against the nations of the Tranquil Sea, competing for the "life-prolonging wonder" in the depths of the Tranquil Sea, a large number of sublimators stayed in the mainland, and there were only two second-levels in this pioneering team, Faced with the endless crises in the depths of the sea, it seems a bit stretched.
Because of the endless ocean vortex, attacks by sea beasts, and abnormal magnetic field changes, only six of the fleet of fifteen ships finally reached the New World.
Of the 486 surviving pioneers, only 129 survived to the arrival of the second fleet, and one of the two second-level pioneers also died.
Nearly three-quarters of the fatalities were caused by two factors.
First, the natural source matter field and virtual environment in the New World are extremely abnormal. Simply put, the concentration of source matter in this place is sometimes high and sometimes low, and the same is true for spiritual energy. It's hard to get used to.
Just like deep-water animals will die when they enter shallow water, and shallow-water animals will die suddenly when they enter deep water. Human beings, as higher animals, cannot adapt to such drastic environmental changes. Create field towers to maintain a stable source quality environment.
The second is the attack of the local Warcraft.
Warcraft of the New World, in simple terms, are smart.
In other words, these guys are not so much monsters, but intelligent life with the power of monsters.
Warcraft in the New World have certain similarities with those in Terra, but they are stronger and smarter than those in Terra—because only the outermost circle of the New World has basic plant ecology, and most Warcraft live near the coast, and the pioneers' landing and construction of camps are, in the eyes of the local Warcraft, a provocation to invade the territory.
At the beginning of the attack, the pioneers did not think too much after repelling it with force. Ordinary monsters would retreat from this place after suffering heavy losses, but they did not know that the wisdom of these monsters had reached the point where they could remember 'Hate', and persistently to the point of 'revenge'.
Therefore, every night, every time the team went out to explore, they would encounter sneak attacks from local monsters.
The strong body of the local monsters can adapt to the abnormal natural environment of the New World, and their actions are far more convenient than humans. In the first year, just dealing with their harassment exhausted all the efforts of the pioneers.
Until the arrival of the second batch of teams, the pioneers had only established the most basic food production system, and there was a crumbling port full of ruins and signs of destruction.
The main island of Far Shore Island attaches great importance to the situation of the exploration team—because there is no winner in the sea battle between Far Shore Island and the Alliance of Seven Cities, and the two countries collapsed. The alliance recovered faster, so Far Shore Island had to shrink its forces and set its sights on the New World.
Far Shore Island, which has lost its strength in the Tranquility Sea, has sent a professional army. After all, they can't beat the Seven Cities Alliance or your Warcraft? This is indeed the case. Under the suppression of the professional soldiers on the far shore island, many monsters that had been entangled with the pioneers were all wiped out, and the port ushered in a long-lost peace.
But the good times don't last long.
Because of the force and oppression of the people on the far shore islands, the Warcraft of the New World, who were originally intelligent but did not develop because of the lack of pressure, were forced to unite under pressure... and even formed several huge "Kingdoms of Warcraft".
Although it is not a country at all, it is at most a group of scattered intelligent monsters, but the sleeping beast kings invited out by the monsters do have the strength of the fourth energy level.
When the fifth energy level must suppress the main island, and the fourth energy level is also difficult to station in the New World for a long time, the existence of several beast kings is enough for Far Shore Island to sign a non-aggression agreement with them.
It sounds a little humiliating, but this actually greatly accelerated the development of the New World colony on Far Shore Island.
Because a fairly vast area on the east coast of the New World has been turned into a "human territory", rare intelligent monsters appear, and the pioneers can develop freely and carry out in-depth development and construction of the New World.
The originally dilapidated and humble port has now become the glorious dawn port, the most shining pearl of Far Shore Island in the New World.
Even at night, Dawn Port is still dazzling, and the brilliance of Nightless Port shines in all directions. The tidal power station and geothermal energy that cut off the gorge provide almost unlimited energy, and the field tower that maintains the stability of the natural environment stands tall in the port. The Quartet maintains a paradise.
Of course, for the people of Terra mainland, such a person may die suddenly when they go out, and they are likely to be attacked by monsters when they go out to explore. It is precarious, and there is a lava river next to their home. Even for the people on the remote islands who sleep on boats and drift at sea, they can sleep peacefully in a solid house on the ground, and settle down in a place where there are no earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. It's a paradise.
Moreover, such days will soon be changed.
When the "Seed of Terra" from the remote island arrives in the New World, then, whether it is the abnormal source material psionic environment or the barren and poor ecology of the New World, all will become history.
The tasteless new continent will also completely become the cornerstone of the rise of Far Shore Island!
This is the human perspective.
As for Warcraft, everything is another matter.
Dawn Port, outside the port.
A squirrel and a raccoon hide under the leaves of a coastal brown elm, looking out over a human port.
It is said that squirrels and raccoons are actually monsters. The scientific name of squirrels among humans is "fluffy electric squirrels". , can rely on the fluff to accumulate electricity, burst out in an instant, and even create a discharge phenomenon comparable to a lightning strike.
The raccoon just looks like a raccoon, but in fact, it is a metal-based life form. It is a close relative of the reef-eating sea otter. Its scientific name is "Iron-eating Giant Raccoon". Quite irritable, be regarded as a kind of evil beast.
However, the two monsters cooperate quite tacitly. The raccoon does not look vicious or violent at all, and is even a bit smart, while the squirrel is similar to his own kind in Terra, with bright eyes and a big fluffy tail. Flick and flick.
[Big iron, when do you think those human fleets will arrive]
After watching for a long time, the squirrel's tail was tired from shaking, and it complained: 【Let's just slip back to sleep, anyway, it seems that the fleet will not come today, and we are not the only ones sent to monitor 】
Although there are only chirping sounds in the mouth, psychic communication allows creatures of different species to understand each other's meaning.
[Wait first, crackle]
The so-called Big Iron raccoon murmured that it was about to fall asleep, and its head was shaking up and down little by little. After hearing what his friend complained, the raccoon became a little more sober: [Don't forget What is the result of not obeying the general's rules? I don't want to be chewed to pieces and eaten]
[Oh, I don't have much meat, the general must be too lazy to eat me]
The crackling squirrel huddled up in fear. From a distance, it looked like a big ball of fluff, round and cute. But soon, the squirrel poked its head out again, and couldn't help saying: [But why do the generals and kings care so much about human ships? They were not allowed to approach, so they sent us to observe, but they did not tell us the reason for the observation]
[Who knows]
The raccoon never thinks about this, so the raccoon has always been indifferent: [Anyway, we just obey the order, the higher-ups didn’t tell us, they just didn’t intend to let us know]
【Got it, we might be eaten】
If a human can hear the content of the communication between these two monsters, they will definitely be surprised-their intelligence and communication are already the same as human beings, and they can even be regarded as intelligent.
But their strength is not strong. Whether it is a raccoon or a squirrel, at most they are barely above the first energy level. They can be leaders in a small place, but not in a slightly larger group.
This goes against the common sense of the people of Terra.
You must know that in Terra Continent, if a monster wants to possess the most basic intelligence, it needs a second energy level to have a soul, and if it wants to obtain intelligence similar to humans, it needs at least the third energy level.
Warcraft in the New World are so beyond common sense.
However, this is also because of the arrival of humans.
Before the arrival of human beings, the monsters of the New World were indeed intelligent, but their behavior and society were extremely primitive. After the arrival of humans, these monsters somehow seemed to be enlightened, and they actually established a stable order. and systems, and now there is even a common language and written circulation.
This speed of development is difficult for even the most intelligent anthropologists to understand.
Because the speed at which these monsters create language and text is not like starting from scratch at all, but like 'memory'.
Squirrels and raccoons are the latest generation of intelligent monsters. They didn't think about how strange their own intelligence is, but took it for granted.
At the same time.
Yin En, who followed the colony fleet of the New World on Far Shore Island, also noticed something wrong with the New World.
"This feeling is... a pulsar?"
The Glazed Dragon lurks in the sea. He has already observed the coastal continental shelf of the New World, and has sensed the unique and unpredictable field of the New World—the immigrant convoys of the Far Shore Island all have ways of stabilizing changes, so the alchemy furnace cannot Affected, but if there is no shielding method, basically any instrument related to the source of psionic energy will be difficult to operate.
But in Yin En's perception, this sudden abnormality and gentleness are too regular, basically like the pulsar's rotation and flickering light, every time the pulsar shines, the source quality will skyrocket, and When the radiation from the pulsar's magnetic pole disappears, everything returns to normal.
In the New World, there is an extremely huge energy source, which is releasing energy with the rhythm of breathing, or the rhythm of pulsar rotation!
"Things that can cause such a vision in Terra must be extraordinary."
Thinking of the perpetual motion machine, he took a deep breath. Yin En really began to believe that there were indeed clues about the perpetual motion machine in the New World, otherwise it would be impossible to explain this level of energy explosion.
More than that.
The gift of the star **** in Yin En's body also sensed it... This strange fluctuation of the spiritual energy field seems to contain a lot of information. It is not so much a natural disaster or a natural phenomenon... Said, like a signal.
A signal to 'activate' something.
"Interesting. But the large-scale human colonization of this place has not been long, and they don't have the gifts of the star gods, and they don't know about pulsars. There is a high probability that they haven't discovered this yet."
Withdrawing his eyes, Yin En was thoughtful at this moment: "But Warcraft is different. After all, they have lived in this land for a long time, so they should know something."
"I heard that the monsters in the New World are very intelligent, and I happen to be the body of a monster right now... I just happen to be able to collect relevant information from the monsters."
As soon as he thinks about it, Yin En breaks away from the track of the boat group on the far shore island and starts to swim towards the uninhabited coast on the other side of Dawn Harbor.
"Catch two monsters first, and ask about the local situation."
