As the strongest reflective metal, mirror steel is as bright as the sun.

But even so, the metal cage still "banged" and squeaked heartbreakingly, as if the monsters inside could escape at any moment.

With its terrifying aura, even Zhang Ming, who was addicted to the illusion of spiritual language, gasped, and goosebumps bulged outward all over his body.

This dragon ...... He was not sure of victory!

Transcendent beings?

A creature with bat wings on its back was speaking on the stage: "This is a terrifying shadow beast transformed from a transcendent being, the Sky Splitting Dragon, and it has the ability to manipulate the weather. ”

"Before losing control, I voluntarily entered the mirror cage, and now I have completely lost my mind. Everyone has also seen that even transcendent beings will be polluted out of control when they come into contact with the darkness in the netherworld, let alone us ordinary beings. ”

"At present, we must consume more of the world's source in order to be able to shelter the world."

"It's slowly becoming too much to make ends meet. I'm sure you don't want to spend so long. ”

"The only chance to survive is to jump to other world communities through the leaping ability of the will of the world!"

"Even, jump into another, safer world ring."

Jumping to another world ring? This plan is too exaggerated!

Anyway, Zhang Ming couldn't even figure out how big the world community was, as for the larger concept of the world ring...... Well, it may be a distance that an aerospace plane flies for a lifetime and cannot cross.

At that time, the seven statues had not been built in this place, and instead they were pyramid-shaped buildings with a height of 100 meters. The meeting place is in this pyramid building.

Zhang Ming named this civilization "Batmen", they have wide wings and are a natural race that can fly.

This kind of family is really too superior, living in a skyscraper, you don't even need an elevator, you can fly to the top as soon as you fly. The flight speed of some strong ones is comparable to that of a supersonic aircraft!

The other races also have their own advantages. For example, the lion-like race is burly and muscular, and at first glance it is an extremely good species in melee combat.

The eagle-like bird, with sparkling eyes, may have a great advantage in perception.

Of course, in the face of a world-level disaster, no matter how high the race value is, it can't defeat the endless shadow beasts.

As a result, it became a matter of course for multiple civilizations to unite and resist disasters.

The Batman on stage was silent at the end, seemingly the host of the place.

In the audience sat representatives of six other races.

A sapient creature in the shape of a lion said, "We simply don't have enough World Sources to jump to another World Ring. ”

"At best, you can only jump to the world community next door. This move alone will cost more than 100,000 world sources! Where did we get so much?! ”

A representative of another race vetoed: "No, no, no, if you jump to the community next door, at most you will die a few hundred years later, and the disaster of this netherworld will inevitably spread on a large scale...... How many world sources can be accumulated a few hundred years later? It's better to buy a peace once and jump to a more distant place! ”

"It's impossible, the leap at the world ring level may cost a billion or more! Even the Demon God can't take out the source of the world of a billion billion, right?! ”

It is also true that the most powerful ability of the world's will is to shelter itself and fine-tune internally, such as the movement of the earth's crustal plates, weather control, the abundance of plants in certain places, the application of certain unique technologies, and so on. These subtle functions can be done with a small amount of World Source.

And the spatial leap ability is just a side ability, which is equivalent to the most simple and crude brute force.

Through the source of the massive world, he vigorously performed a miracle to forcibly open a space tunnel.

In this way, the utilization rate of the source of the world is too low, and most of the energy is wasted.

Therefore, there are a number of unique technologies that can reduce this transmission cost.

But in any case, in the face of a huge gap of four orders of magnitude, it is like an insurmountable barrier for these civilizations.

A relatively powerful civilization that has accumulated tens of thousands of world sources can be regarded as rich; A relatively weak civilization has only a few hundred or thousands of stocks.

"Guys, listen to me!" Listening to everyone's discussion, the creature with bat wings coughed heavily, "I am in line with civilization, I have been in the sea of demons for six thousand years, and I have indeed accumulated a lot of world sources with the glory of the civilization contract, but I am really far from jumping to the world ring next door. ”

"But there are also a number of ways to reduce the cost of jumps!"

"I want to hear about it." All the delegates present perked up.

"First, space technology! As long as you find the weak points of the space and jump along these weak areas, you can effectively reduce the consumption of the source of the world. According to our calculations, the spatial ability of the Demon God level can reduce the jump cost by 2-3 orders of magnitude! ”

"Eagle Sky Civilization, your unique technology is space technology, right? Do you have any research on this? He looked at one of the parliamentary deputies.

The representative of the Eagle Sky Civilization pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "My clan ...... How can He De compare with the Space Demon God? It's good to be able to make a few space props. ”

"However, our clan can indeed predict the occurrence point of the temporal storm in advance, as well as the teleportation direction of the temporal storm...... As for whether it can reduce the cost of jumps, it's really not clear, we haven't studied it, so we'll have to go back and ask the elders in this area. ”

Even a short jump between the same community would cost hundreds or thousands of World Sources.

Even the richest civilization can't come up with thousands of world sources for experiments!

And he only said half of this sentence, and the representative of the Eagle Sky Civilization secretly thought in his heart, this is a unique technology, why should we contribute it to you?

Anyway, you have to trade chips, right?!

The host, the Batman, added: "Second, the greater the mass of the jump, the wider the range of shelter, and the more the source of the world will be consumed. ”

He showed an image of the surface of a planet on the screen: "You should know that a large part of the mass of a world is invalid. ”

"As long as we strip the earth's crust from the planet, the consumption of space jumps will be greatly reduced!"

Zhang Ming, who was in the spirit language illusion, was extremely shocked in his heart, peeling off the earth's crust and turning it into a ship, you are really smart!

Soon, another civilization objected: "No, after the complete destruction of the ecosystem, the will of the world will be greatly weakened, the source of the world will be greatly reduced, and the ability to make a leap will also be reduced." ”

"And, what's the difference between that and suicide?"

"What's more, how much work is required to strip the earth's crust? How to peel off? If we use conventional technology, we can't get rid of it in 10,000 years! ”

Opposition has come and gone, and this plan is too exaggerated!

The bat talent said: "Everyone, the way to peel off is very simple, use the world consciousness, move the space once, and spend a little more world source to directly peel off the earth's crust." ”

"The world consciousness has its own special wisdom, it can predict that this is an unbearable horror disaster, if it does not do so, it will be completely destroyed, as long as it communicates well, it will find a way to survive with its broken arms......"

"As for the question of the weakening of the will of the world...... That's unavoidable, but overall, the cost of the jump will still be significantly lower. ”

"We made a simple estimate that only 1 million square kilometers, about two kilometers thick of the earth's crust, would only need about 3 million world sources to jump to the world ring next door."

"If you teleport 500,000 square kilometers of the earth's crust, you will consume about 2.4 million World Sources...... Due to the weakening of the will of the world, the numerical relationship is not linear. ”

"But no matter what, the smaller the land you teleport, the smaller the cost will still be."

"If you only transmit 100,000 square kilometers of the earth's crust, the cost of consumption is 1 million."

1 million versus 1 billion, the consumption has dropped by 3 orders of magnitude, that is, one thousandth of the original, and combined with space technology, combined with various miscellaneous technologies, it is also possible to drop by another order of magnitude.

That is...... About 100,000 world sources can be teleported to another world ring? ”

But at the cost of 100,000 square kilometers of land, which is really too small, how many people can be fed? Moreover, the will of the world has weakened significantly, the ability to shelter has decreased, and it is easier for monsters to infiltrate.

What's more, with seven races and a land area of 100,000 square kilometers, how many people can be crammed?

Resources and space are all limited, if you have more, I will have less, and you don't want to beat all the dog's brains?!

Batman seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction, and finally said lightly, "Everyone, our purpose is to survive this disaster!" A happy life, a peaceful life, are all far away, and there is only one thing we have to do...... Survive! ”

"Just to find a suitable place to live, it doesn't have to be teleported across the World Ring. Maybe halfway through the teleportation, we'll be safe enough. At that time, everyone will look for a new world where they can develop, and there will naturally be fewer contradictions. ”

"In addition, our land area is sufficient, 2,000 meters of crustal thickness, even if the height of one layer is 50 meters, there are 40 layers."

"In this way, it is 4 million square kilometers of land, which is actually a lot of habitable area."

"Even if it's a little cramped, you can live there. If you're really not satisfied, you can get a few more pieces of land, but of course, the cost of the jump will be more expensive and the distance will be shorter. ”

This is an acceptable plan for all civilizations, each civilization has a continent, does not live together, and the contradictions can actually be controlled.
