Chapter 352: Electric Squirrel and Iron Raccoon
Newland.
On the east shore of the Endless Ocean, Dawn Harbor.
One hundred and twenty years ago, the pioneers of the Far Shore Island set sail on the most advanced steam-powered ships of the time, heading across the endless ocean on the western side of the continent of Terra, and finally arrived in the New World.
According to the information of the high-level sublimators at that time, although the New World was barren and barren, because it was a new continent, it had a large number of precious mineral resources, and even if there was no shortage of minerals on the far shore islands, the large amount of rare ore in the New World still had a certain mining value, attracting a group of people to take risks.
At that time, the Far Shore Island was confronting the countries of the Tranquility Sea, competing for the 'Longevity Strange Things' in the depths of the Tranquility Sea, and a large number of sublimators remained on the mainland, and there were only two second-level members in this pioneering team, and it seemed a little stretched in the face of the endless crises in the depths of the sea.
Due to the endless ocean eddies, sea beast attacks, and anomalous changes in the magnetic field, only six of the fifteen ships in the fleet eventually reached the New World.
Of the 486 surviving pioneers, only 129 survived the arrival of the second fleet, and one of the two second class members also died.
Nearly three-quarters of mortality rates are due to two reasons.
The first is that the natural essentia field and virtual realm of the New World are extremely abnormal, to put it simply, the essentia concentration in this place is sometimes high and sometimes low, and the same is true of psionic energy, which makes it difficult for humans who have adapted to a stable essentia environment to adapt.
Just as deep-water animals will die when they come to shallow water, and shallow animals will die violently when they enter deep water, humans, as higher animals, cannot adapt to such drastic environmental changes, and the pioneers can only dismantle the alchemy furnace core of the voyage ship to create a field tower to maintain a stable essentia environment.
The second is the attack of local monsters.
The Warcraft of the New World, simply put, is smart.
In other words, these guys are not so much Warcraft, but intelligent beings with the power of Warcraft.
The Warcraft of the New World has a certain similarity with the Warcraft of Terra, but it is stronger and smarter than the Warcraft of Terra - because the Newworld only has a basic plant ecology in the outermost circle, and most of the Warcraft inhabit the coastal periphery, and the landing and construction of camps by the pioneers is a provocation to encroach on the territory in the eyes of the local Warcraft.
At the beginning of the attack, the pioneers didn't think too much about it after repelling it by force, and ordinary monsters would retreat from this place after suffering heavy losses, but they didn't know that the wisdom of these monsters had reached the point where they could remember 'hatred' and persistently 'revenge'.
Therefore, every night in the future, every time the team went out to explore, they would encounter a sneak attack by local monsters.
The sturdy bodies of the native monsters can adapt to the abnormal natural environment of the New World, and their movements are far more convenient than those of humans, and in the first year, just dealing with their harassment consumed all the mental energy of the pioneers.
By the time the second group arrived, the pioneers had only established the most basic food production system, and a crumbling port littered with ruins and signs of destruction.
The main island of the Far Shore Island attaches great importance to the situation of the exploration team - because the quiet sea battle between the Far Shore Island and the Seven Cities Alliance did not have a winner, and the two countries collapsed together, and the Seven Cities Alliance, which was supported by the Imperial Blood Transfusion, recovered faster, so the Far Shore Island had to shrink its forces and set its sights on the New World.
The Far Shore Island, which has lost the strength of the Quiet Sea for hegemony, has sent a professional army, after all, it can't defeat the Seven Cities Alliance and can't defeat your Warcraft? Indeed, under the suppression of the professional soldiers on the far shore island, many of the demonic beasts that were originally entangled with the pioneers were all wiped out, and the port ushered in a long-lost peace.
But the good times didn't last long.
Because of the military oppression of the people of the Far Shore Island, the New World Warcraft, who originally had wisdom, but had not developed because there was no pressure, were forced to unite by pressure...... It even constitutes several huge 'Warcraft Realms'.
Although it can't be called a country at all, at most it is a group of scattered wisdom Warcraft clusters, but the few beast kings who were originally sleeping by the Warcraft cluster do have the strength of the fourth energy level.
In the case that the fifth energy level must suppress the main island, and the fourth energy level is also difficult to stay in the New World for a long time, the existence of several beast kings is enough for the Far Shore Island to sign a non-aggression pact with them.
It may sound humiliating, but it actually greatly accelerated the development of the New World colony on the far shore islands.
Because a fairly large area on the east coast of the New World has been turned into a 'human territory', few intelligent monsters have appeared, and the pioneers can develop freely and carry out in-depth development and construction of the New World.
The original dilapidated and humble port has become the glorious Dawn Port, the most shining pearl of the Far Shore Island in the New World.
Even at night, the Dawn Harbor is still shining, the light of the Sleepless Harbor shines in all directions, the tidal power station and geothermal energy that cut off the mouth of the gorge provide nearly unlimited energy, and the field tower that maintains the stability of the natural environment stands in all directions of the harbor, maintaining a paradise.
Of course, for the people of Terra Continent, such a trip may be violently killed, and it is likely to be attacked by demonic beasts when going out to explore, and whether a colony that has to work twelve hours a day is considered a paradise is indeed another matter, but for the people of the far shore islands who live in a precarious situation, their home is next to the lava river, and even if they have to sleep on a boat and drift on the sea, they can sleep peacefully in a sturdy house on the ground, and settle down in a place where there are no earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which is completely a paradise.
Moreover, such days will soon be changed.
When the 'Terra Seed' of the Far Shore Island arrives in the New World, then in the future, whether it is the abnormal essentia psionic environment of the New World, or the barren and barren ecology, everything will be completely history.
The new continent of chicken ribs will also become the cornerstone of the rise of the far shore island!
This is the human perspective.
And for Warcraft, everything is a different matter.
Dawn Harbor, beyond the harbor.
A squirrel and a raccoon hide under the leaves of a coastal brown elm tree, looking out over the human harbor.
Said to be squirrels and raccoons, in fact, they are also monsters, squirrels in the human scientific name of 'fluffy electric squirrel', with blue and white coat color, full of soft and elegant fluff, feel good to the touch, can rely on fluff to store electricity, burst out in an instant, and can even create a lightning strike-like discharge phenomenon.
The raccoon just looks like a raccoon, but in fact, it is a metal-based life, a close relative of the reef-devouring sea otter, whose scientific name is 'iron-devouring giant raccoon', and its food is an unusually strong iron tree, and its temperament is also quite irritable, which is considered a vicious beast.
But the two monsters cooperate quite tacitly, the raccoon can't see the viciousness and irritability at all, and even a little clever honestly, while the squirrel is similar to his own kind in Terra, with smart eyes and big fluffy tails dangling back and forth.
[Da Tie, when did you say those human fleets will arrive?]
After watching it for a long time, the squirrel's tail was tired, and it complained: "Let's just sneak back to sleep, anyway, it seems that the fleet will not come today, and we are not the only ones who have been sent to monitor]
Although the mouth only makes a chirping sound, psionic communication allows creatures of different species to understand each other's meaning.
[Wait a minute, crackle]
The raccoon, known as the big iron, muttered, it was actually about to fall asleep, its head was shaking up and down little by little, and after hearing his friend's complaints, the raccoon woke up a little: "Don't forget what the consequences of not following the general's rules are, I don't want to be chewed and eaten by even the bones]
[Alas, I don't have much meat, and the general must be too lazy to eat me]
The squirrel, which is called Crackling, curls up in a ball of fear, and from a distance, it looks like a big fluffy ball, round and cute. But soon, the squirrel poked its head out again, and couldn't help but say, "But why do generals and kings care so much about human ships? They were not allowed to come near, so they sent us over to observe, but they did not tell us the reason for their observations.
[Who knows]
The raccoon never thinks about this, so the raccoon has always been very indifferent: [Anyway, let's just listen to the order, the above didn't tell us, just don't plan to let us know]
[Got it, maybe we're going to be eaten]
If a human could hear the content of the communication between these two monsters, they would be surprised—their intelligence and communication are already the same as those of humans, and they can even be considered intelligent.
But their strength is not strong, whether it is a raccoon or a squirrel, at most they are barely at the first level, and they can be a leader in a small place, but not a slightly larger group.
This is not in keeping with the common sense of the Terras.
You must know that in the Terra Continent, if Warcraft wants to have the most basic intelligence, it needs a second energy level to have a soul, and if you want to obtain intelligence similar to that of humans, you must at least have a third energy level.
The monsters of 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 New World Warcraft certainly had wisdom, but both behavior and society were extremely primitive, and after the arrival of humans, these Warcraft for some reason, as if all of them had been enlightened, actually built a stable order and system, and now there is even a common language and written circulation.
This rate of development is difficult for even the brightest anthropologists to comprehend, and they analyze a lot and come up with no results.
Because the speed at which these monsters create language and words is not like starting from scratch at all, but like 'memories'.
Squirrels and raccoons are both the latest generation of intelligent monsters, and they don't think about how peculiar their intelligence is, but take it for granted.
The squirrel shook its big tail up and down, and the electricity crackled in it, causing the raccoon beneath it to sneeze, and it stared blankly at the shoreline across the harbor: "So, big iron, what is the meaning of our lives? 】
The raccoon touched its nose, and it sighed: "You know, my head turns slowly, and I never think about this. But it's okay if you don't know the answer, anyway, let's live first]
[Crackle, I know you're smart, but don't show it in front of the general, it likes to eat smart beasts the most, I don't want you to become a ball of plush balls, digested and spit out]
[Anyway, it's definitely not staying here and waiting for the ship!] 】
The squirrel was not frightened and muttered under his breath. It is active by nature and really doesn't like such boring waiting, but just as the squirrel is about to think about a few more topics without being blocked by the raccoon, it suddenly notices that dark spots appear on the coastline.
The dark spots are getting bigger and bigger, and then they are turning into shadows.
The squirrel was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked to see a huge group of ships that seemed to occupy the entire coastline, heading towards Dawn City.
[It's coming, it's coming! 】
It jerked itself up, and was pulled back under the palm elm leaf by the raccoon's tail, but the squirrel, who used to treasure its big tail the most, didn't care at all, and cheered: "The human fleet is coming—let's go and get back to the general!" 】
And the raccoon was also shocked by this scene - although it does not like to use its brain, it is easy to count the number of ships in front of it: [more than a hundred ships...... Or is it just a pioneer? Wouldn't the whole regiment have hundreds of big ships?! 】
[Hurry up, let's go back and report]
The electric squirrel doesn't care about these 'minutiae', it doesn't care about what humans have to do at all, it just doesn't want to waste life and time here: [If it's the first report, the general will definitely reward it!] 】
- It doesn't seem like the answer the general wants to know.
Still silently counting the number of fleets, the raccoon's heart sank, but it had no other choice but to nod slightly: [Let's go, let's go back and report work]
[I hope this time, the general can appreciate some good things]
Meanwhile.
Ian, who was following the colony group of colonies in the New World on the far shore island, also sensed that something was wrong with the New World.
"This feeling is...... Pulsar? ”
The glass dragon lurks in the sea, he has observed the coastal continental shelf of the New World, and senses the unique and unpredictable field of the New World - the immigrant ship groups on the far shore island have stable and changing methods, so the alchemy furnace is not affected, but if there is no shielding method, it is difficult for basically any instrument related to essentia psionic energy to operate.
But in Ian's perception, this sudden anomaly and flatness is too regular, basically like the light of pulsar rotation and flickering, every time the pulsar shines, the essentia will skyrocket, and when the pulsar magnetic pole radiation disappears, everything will return to calm.
In the New World, there is an extremely large source of energy that is releasing energy in the rhythm of breathing, or the rhythm of pulsar rotation!
"Something that can cause such a vision in Terra must be extraordinary."
Thinking of the perpetual motion machine, he took a deep breath, and Ian 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.
And that's not all.
The gift of the star god in Ian's body was also sensed...... This strange psionic field fluctuation seems to contain a lot of information, not so much that it is a natural disaster or a natural phenomenon...... Rather, it's like a signal.
A signal to 'activate' something.
"Interesting. However, the large-scale human colonization in this place has not been long ago, and they do not have the gift of the star gods, nor do they know about pulsars, so it is likely that they have not discovered this yet. ”
Retracting his eyes, at this moment, Ian was thoughtful: "But the Warcraft is different, after all, they have lived in this land for a long time, and they should know a little clue." ”
"I heard that the wisdom of Warcraft in the New World is very high, and I happen to be the body of Warcraft now...... It's just the right time to gather some information from Warcraft. ”
Thinking of it, Ian broke away from the trajectory of the farshore island ship group and began to swim towards the uninhabited shore on the other side of Dawn Harbor.
"Catch two monsters first, and ask about the local situation."
Ask for a monthly pass~
