Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 1246: We slimes want to build a spaceship
Yang Yu did not expect that before he finished speaking, he would be rejected.
"Can I ask why His Majesty the King rejected us so clearly?"
The Slime King replied: "Since a long time ago, our Slime Kingdom has not cared about matters on the ground and does not want to be involved in disputes on the ground."
"Don't you have something like an oath?" Yang Yu asked tentatively.
"There is no oath, I just don't want to participate in the disputes above." The Slime King replied decisively, "This is the cornerstone for the continuation of our Slime Kingdom.
We slimes are quite weak when we are born. It takes a long time and a little bit of accumulation to reach a certain height and fight against other monsters.
Moreover, our slimes move very slowly, and their attack performance is not high, so we can only passively defend.
The cubs are extremely fragile, and the mother moves slowly and can only passively defend. This means that we will be constantly plundered by various fast-moving monsters, eventually leading to extinction.
The ancient slimes either chose places that are difficult for other creatures to inhabit as their bases of survival and evolved various unique forms of slimes to occupy the ecological niche; or they reproduced in large numbers and ate everything they could eat. At the same time, it also satisfies the appetites of other monsters so that they will not become extinct.
Our slime is undoubtedly the luckiest slime.
Originally, our ancestors also relied on the strategy of unlimited reproduction to survive.
However, there are too many wars above, and many people who want to improve their strength will take action against our ancestors who can multiply in large numbers.
No matter how high their reproductive efficiency is, or even if they reproduce asexually, they are still unable to withstand the swarming crowds.
There is a slime that accidentally fell into our current cave.
In this cave, they had unprecedented safety. They used it as a stronghold and would only climb out when eating.
Even so, the risk of going out for food is extremely high. If you can stock up on some food during safe periods, you can avoid going out to find food frequently.
By chance, a slime awakened his intelligence. He saw that the seeds brought into the cave took root and sprouted under the light of fluorite, and a green plant grew.
So, the idea of cultivating food inside the cave came up.
That was the beginning of our history.
In such a barren cave, the strategy of unlimited proliferation will only lead to self-destruction, so our reproductive efficiency begins to become low.
Gradually adapted to life in the cave.
Like you humans, we entered the agricultural civilization, from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, and then from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, step by step to reach the present.
We must maintain our hard-won civilization. Since we can be self-sufficient, there is no need to take risks outside.
There is no need to repeat the mistakes of the civilization outside.
When all life in the outside world is destroyed, we slimes will definitely be able to continue to survive. If this star explodes, we slimes will also be able to rely on the technology developed by our slimes in the future to build spaceships and fly Leave this planet and take root on other planets, spreading the fire of civilization. ”
After listening to the king's words, Yang Yu couldn't help but imagine the scene of groups of slimes driving spaceships out of the world. Slimes have no human body size or bone limitations and can travel through the mechanical world. Among the various gaps, if they control the spacecraft, it will be easy to repair, and they will not have to worry about lack of oxygen.
Hmm... Slimes may be a race more suitable for space than humans.
Huh?
Halfway through the imagination, Yang Yu suddenly felt something was wrong. How did he hear the word spaceship from slime? Does slime still know such advanced knowledge?
No, King Slime said before that they entered the agricultural civilization and experienced various eras of stone, bronze, and iron...
The more Yang Yu thinks about it, the more something is wrong. Most people in this world assume that the world was created by the goddess. No one mentions the Stone Age and farming civilization at all. It seems that this is how the world was from the beginning, and slime The king mentioned these two times, which means that in their understanding, human beings did not achieve success overnight.
In addition, Yang Yu also remembered the slime's Academy City that he had seen not long ago. Although he was just looking around, Yang Yu couldn't understand the slime's words, but he could see the slime's size and body. Judging from the costumes, they also seem to divide education into several levels.
If you return to Academy City and ask Hemeng to translate the knowledge of slimes and the others, what will you discover?
"Your Majesty the King, it seems that you know a lot about human affairs. According to what you said, you should have had little contact with human beings. Why do you know so clearly about human knowledge?"
Faced with Yang Yu’s inquiry, King Slime did not hide anything,
"Since we slimes gained wisdom, we occasionally dream of some strange scenes. Those are the history of your humanity.
Our scholars still don’t understand what happened, but they believe it should be some kind of enlightenment.
A slime once said that the fate of mankind will be intertwined with ours.
That’s why scholars who study human messengers and learn human language were born. Seeing you in this manner is also the result of believing in enlightenment. ”
King Slime's words solved several of Yang Yu's questions in one breath, but also brought up new ones.
Yang Yu immediately thought about what was wrong with the sparkling fluorite he saw on the road.
Combined with the thing he encountered in the Luo Ze Empire, a bold guess formed in Yang Yu's mind.
The reason slimes were able to establish such a kingdom was all thanks to the various knowledge left behind by ancient humans through fluorite.
In this way, everything can make sense.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yang Yu slowly said to King Slime:
"Hearing what His Majesty the King said, I suddenly became interested in the human knowledge you are studying. Can you let me observe the human knowledge you have collected?"
Putting his hand on his chin, King Slime thought for a moment and said:
"I can give you this as a reward, but after you understand, you must leave the Slime Kingdom immediately and promise not to spread the news about our Slime Kingdom.
If you violate the agreement, even if you are my daughter's savior, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything to you. ”
The slime king showed an aggressive side, but Yang Yu did not back down and did not agree to this exchange.
After all the hard work to get here, if these reinforcements cannot be invited, the subsequent operations will be greatly affected. At the same time, it seems that he is finally one step closer to the truth he longs for. Yang Yu will not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chance.
