Chapter 1238: Compassion
The city is huge, so to speak, a megacity.
The vastness seems to have no boundary, according to Lu Chuan's estimate, this place should be able to accommodate tens of millions of people. Many of the buildings made of transparent materials are towering into the sky, as if they were human skyscrapers.
What caught Lu Chuan's attention the most was a huge floating building, floating in the air, it was like a condensed small city, belonging to a city within a city.
From a distance, you can see that there are hanging gardens on it, and a large number of pavilions are intertwined, it is magnificent, different everywhere, a large number of golden elements, it looks like a royal palace.
Lu Chuan smiled lightly, he didn't need to guess, he could know what nature it belonged to.
It's either a palace or the residence of the ruler of the city.
If you want to understand a civilization, the first step is to learn their language, and the second step is to understand their history. With these two steps, you can basically get a general idea of this civilization.
Lu Chuan just glanced at this palace, and did not go to this palace for the first time, but learned the language here.
It may be difficult for others, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, it is not difficult, he has the ability to never forget, as long as the other party says it once, he can write it down, and there is no need to repeat it a second time.
Lu Chuan's method of learning their words was very simple, and he walked to a place like a restaurant, where there were many ethnic people, and Lu Chuan wanted to observe the connection between what they said and did, and forcibly wrote it down.
Because it is not a scientific and technological civilization, in many aspects, they are still at the level of the ancient Tang and Song dynasties on the earth, like the restaurant that Lu Chuan saw, it is very lively, and many diners are very energetic to eat and drink here, talking loudly one by one.
Lu Chuan walked in, and then found a corner, stared at them, memorized their body movements and language, and then after his own analysis, he did indeed have the approximate meaning of this sentence.
The ability to never forget allowed Lu Chuan to absorb their words like a sponge.
For three days in a row, Lu Chuan did this.
The terrifying learning ability, Lu Chuan almost mastered the other party's language in three days. Of course, they certainly can't have the same rich vocabulary as their own people, but they don't have a problem communicating.
In order to correct some of his mistakes, Lu Chuan wiped his hand, and he had already become what they were.
"How much does this cost?"
Lu Chuan walked to a stall, cultivating a civilized society, it will not be the same as scientific and technological civilization, or like modern human beings, there are stalls and shops. If it is a scientific and technological civilization, after level 3, artificial intelligence will already be flying all over the sky, and it is almost impossible to see a booth like this, because what can be done will become a robot to complete.
Mastering their language, Lu Chuan's name for this race is the jellyfish clan.
They don't live in the ocean, but they're translucent, and they do resemble jellyfish. Lu Chuan knew that they were not like this before, but just like the substance, as their strength continued to improve, they would gradually evolve towards a pure energy body.
Now they can still see the internal organs, and when they even refine the internal organs, they will be upgraded to level 4 cultivation civilization.
The jellyfish clan is rated as a level 3 civilization, not because of their social development, but because of their cultivation level and their use of energy.
Like the humans on Earth, they only need to control the controllable nuclear fission to be promoted to a level 1 civilization.
Lu Chuan is now testing his words, and then adjusting to the shortcomings. Therefore, it is inevitable to communicate with them, which can be regarded as a process experience.
"Three crystals."
The stall owner is an ordinary jellyfish clansman, and when put into the race, it is only the role of a farmer. This is not surprising, if it is not an ordinary clansman, how can it be possible to run such a low-end business? It smiled and said the currency of this race.
Crystal is the currency of this race, it is a kind of energy body, which is helpful for their cultivation.
Lu Chuan put his hand into his pocket and moved, and three small crystals appeared, of course, this was not Lu Chuan's original existence, but Lu Chuan's transformation. As a rule-breaker in this world, Lu Chuan was originally outside the laws of this world, and it was naturally not a problem to conjure up such a thing.
Handing over the crystal to the other party, Lu Chuan took a kind of food belonging to the jellyfish clan, similar to human cakes, but did not eat it, but was close to the stall owner. It's not about taking information about this race, it's about strengthening your own language learning.
However, Lu Chuan didn't communicate for too long, and left.
Walking not far away, I communicated with another stall owner. Of course, it is still on the premise of buying things, and the other party will be willing to answer some questions for Lu Chuan.
Along the way, Lu Chuan bought a lot of things, and his language was also improving rapidly.
After half a day, Lu Chuan's language was no different from that of their race. No one will find fault with Lu Chuan in language, and Lu Chuan is now changing the appearance of the other party, no one will doubt it.
"This is probably the second alien language I've mastered, right?" Lu Chuan smiled lightly, the language of the jellyfish clan is more complicated and jerky than the language of the god clan.
Mastering the language, this is only the first step, Lu Chuan can speak, but he doesn't recognize it.
In the second step, Lu Chuan went to the school in this city, with Lu Chuan's ability, with a wipe of his hand, the person disappeared directly, and then swaggered in, found a junior grade, and squatted directly in the corner.
That's right, it's a lower grade, and if you put it on a human being, it's the first grade.
This is also helpless, Lu Chuan can only learn their words from scratch. A lot of people say why not just take this step? In fact, Lu Chuan seems to be able to speak first, know what the other party says, and then listen to the class, so that he can really learn something.
This school has a lot of cultivators, and their strength is still good, after all, the school of this race has a cultivation course, and their cultivation course is a compulsory course.
However, their strong people are really not worth mentioning in Lu Chuan's eyes, if they can all find Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan doesn't need to mix it up at all, pat his ass and go home to enjoy it with peace of mind, until his life is over in his old age.
It took a few days, and Lu Chuan basically controlled the writing of this race.
The third step, Lu Chuan completed in this school, that is, to go to their library, and then continue to read the history books inside, to understand the origin of this race, to leap forward again and again, all of which are thoroughly understood.
A cultivation civilization that has developed to level 3 is definitely respectable, and the birth of the jellyfish clan is only more than two million years old, which is the earliest origin they can trace back to.
From the very beginning of their existence, it took them about a million years to master the use of energy.
Knowing how to use energy is the beginning of civilization.
From zero to three, they took a million years, a jaw-dropping number. But in some races, like the level 5 peak civilization discovered by Lu Chuan, it took them hundreds of millions of years.
This also means that every level of leapfrogging is extremely difficult.
Looking at human beings again, through archaeology, the earliest origin of human beings was discovered, which should be more than three million years old. Human civilization can only be traced back to more than 5,000 years. From this, it can be seen that the initial evolution and development of human beings was really slow and outrageous.
After three million years, it was finally because of knowing how to use stone tools that the door of civilization was finally opened.
If it weren't for the rapid technological progress of human beings in the last hundred years, they would still stay at the level of 0.25, instead of the current level of 0.75 civilization.
"Cultivating civilization is indeed a perversion. With a history of more than 2 million years, it has reached the level 3 civilization. It took three million years for humanity to qualify as a civilization, and the gap is indeed too far. ”
Lu Chuan shook his head, no wonder cultivating civilization can break the law, it is indeed out of the law.
After understanding this civilization, Lu Chuan also knew its social structure.
Level 3 civilizations, their strongest bodies, can already use their physical bodies for space flight. It's just that there is no suitable planet for them in this area, so they are still trapped here.
No matter how strong an individual is, he cannot perform ultra-long-distance space flight.
The current jellyfish clan was once ruled by a powerful and unified royal family, but with the continuous rise of the strong, the desire for power made this royal family that had ruled for hundreds of thousands of years be torn apart, and then they fought separately.
It can be said that now is the darkest and most chaotic time on this planet.
Of course, if there are no accidents, the chaos will not last long, as long as there is a real strong man rising, it will recondense the scattered sands into a unified situation.
"They still have ten years to ......" Lu Chuan shook his head, there was really not much time left for them, and after ten years, it would be a purgatory-like apocalyptic scene.
They can't escape, that's their fate.
If he had changed himself, Lu Chuan would have taken advantage of the past ten years, everyone would live happily, without war, without cultivating, without bothering to be busy, reuniting with his family more, and traveling around this world, so that he would have no regrets.
It's a pity that this race they don't know that they've only been around for ten years, and that the heat is just a matter of the weather.
I don't know why, Lu Chuan suddenly had a trace of compassion.
The destruction of a race, Lu Chuan is unimaginable, this is tens of billions of jellyfish people, and they died in the most tragic and tragic way.
To be honest, Lu Chuan was a little unbearable.
"Maybe I can't let them escape, but I can let them die happy and without regrets." Lu Chuan's heart moved, and the first thing he thought of was the science fiction movie he had seen before, the disaster movie "Mystery Code" starring Nicolas Cage.
In this movie, it is about the imminent destruction of the earth, but human beings are unaware.
As a result, aliens with compassion began to send out mysterious codes to humans. And the person who received this mysterious code among the humans was the little girl Lucinda. Amberley, during her school celebration, buried the numbers with the words of human destruction in a metal time capsule.
At the end of the story, of course, the protagonist of the movie discovered these mysterious codes, cracked them, and then came up with this shocking news.
But this is an unchangeable ending, and the time left for humanity is too limited, from the discovery to the final destruction, it is almost connected, leaving no time for them to pass.
The only thing the protagonist can do is to send his children to the location designated by the aliens, so that human civilization can start again on a new planet under the arrangement of the aliens.
And the aliens in the movie have picked up thousands of human children, so that human beings will not be exterminated.
A disaster of this magnitude cannot be changed even by aliens, only to be saved.
Lu Chuan is not the Holy Mother, he didn't think about saving this race. In fact, if Lu Chuan wanted to, he could still eliminate this disaster at the risk of being exposed. Replacing this sun star and converting it is still possible for Lu Chuan.
There is no doubt that the Inspector's abilities are beyond imagination.
But Lu Chuan's exposure means that he may die.
It seems cost-effective to exchange oneself for the safety of one race, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, it is really not cost-effective. The universe is so big, how many races are billions of trillions, if Lu Chuan is like this against every race, Lu Chuan is not suitable for the position of supervisor at all.
"Ten years of happiness for you is my greatest mercy." Lu Chuan smiled bitterly, this is his bottom line.
