Chapter 314 Quality Route and Quantity Route(1/2)
"The ecological carrying capacity of the Green Mountain is limited. Visitors are asked to line up in an orderly manner and visit in order."
"The number of people received per day cannot exceed 3,000."
There are three most dangerous areas in the huge mountain peaks, namely the nest of the king snake, the nest of the scorpion, and the hive of the poisonous king bee. These wild animals are very aggressive and can kill people.
In addition, things like she-bears, cockatrices, unicorns captured from the Mandala Empire, and animals and plants purchased from the rat-man civilization are all kept here.
39 types in total!
Approximately 21-30 Lingyun's consumables are produced every year, laying a solid foundation for cultivating talents in the future.
Looking at the crowds of tourists, Lu Yuan was also happy in his heart, and asked: "You, don't eat people, and receive customers well here."
The female bear roared and looked at Lu Yuan with her dark eyes.
What's going on? I was caught here by you as a circus member?
"You, lay eggs well."
The cockatrice looked constipated and laid eggs on the spot.
More than fifty years later, it has actually grown to level 3 life. Each egg is the size of a fist and is very nutritious.
"Plop!" The yellow-orange egg with patterns fell on the nest made of straw.
The Cockatrice made a happy sound: "Cackle!"
They are both wild animals that are relatively close to humans.
In addition, there is the huge piranha, which has been "controlled" by Lu Yuan, so there is nothing to worry about.
It was planted in a special botanical garden and received the best care from plant lovers. Fertilizers, nutrient solutions, etc. were also provided.
The hives of poisonous king bees are also in plantations. These bees can not only collect nectar from piranha flowers, but also other extraordinary plants, such as corn trees, pear trees, etc., to further increase honey production capacity.
Increase.
This thriving scene is so wonderful.
When people visited, they laughed and looked forward to it. At the moment when they truly saw the fruits of victory, they experienced a sincere sense of happiness.
…
However, joy and sadness often go hand in hand.
On the day when the mountain-moving plan was officially completed, Lu Yuan received another piece of bad news.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Sha may have returned to his former glory... Do you want to go to the hospital?" Conch's voice came from beside him.
"Oh... let's go."
Lu Yuan quickly took the girl to the hospital.
Sha Sanli, the first generation old man and the former patriarch of the Sha Sanli clan, has now reached the end of his life...
His strength is not high, only level two.
I am one hundred and seventy-two years old this year, and I have indeed reached the age of death.
Sha Sanli saw the complete realization of the mountain-moving plan, and also saw the changes in human beings over the years, and his thin face couldn't help but tremble twice.
"OK."
"Time flies so fast."
He seemed to recall the very distant past, where the moment he met Lu Yuan and his party, everything's fate changed.
"How is Elder Sha..." Lu Yuan knocked on the door and saw the juniors Sha Kan'er and Sha Mo.
"Hey, it should be...the last moment." Sha Mo said in a low voice.
Sha Kan'er's qualifications are that once tens of millions of people come out, the former militia captain is now a level five master.
Desert's cultivation qualifications are average, but as the owner of divine skills and the dean of the Great Engineering Academy, it is naturally easier to obtain resources. He is already at level three at the moment, with a lifespan of more than 300 years, and there will be opportunities for improvement in the future.
The lifespan gap between the strong and the weak was nakedly revealed at this moment.
A level three strong person has a lifespan of three to four hundred years. Especially those with high divine attributes can live longer, and it is possible to live up to five hundred years.
For a strong person, fifty or sixty years of development is actually nothing. Even his appearance has not changed much.
But for those original old people, it has been a long time... They have missed the best age for cultivation. Once their bodies start to age, even if they use resources to make up for it, they will only get twice the result with half the effort, and there is no way to make up for it.
"Captain Lu...you have worked hard." Sha Sanli, who has gray hair and a face full of age spots, said, "I have been lying in the hospital bed these years, and I can see you on the TV."
When the light came back, he stared at Lu Yuan blankly.
Lu Yuan smiled and squeezed his cold palm: "Old principal, you have worked hard too. My classmates have lived up to your expectations."
Sha Sanli seemed to remember that he was once the principal of Luyin School, and murmured to himself: "Hey, old principal... this may be the greatest achievement of my life."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Tiantian, Lu Yue and other first-generation people raised by the public also visited this "old principal".
Although the "old principal" has a bad temper, he can be regarded as the teacher who raised them up.
Only after some experiences do you realize that the old principal is not that bad after all.
"Everyone is here, everyone is fine, pretty good..."
Sha Sanli finally smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were like deep ravines.
Under the bright sunset, the old man closed his eyes as if falling asleep.
…
This is actually a very small thing, and everyone mourns it for a while.
Lu Yuan personally read the memorial speech and then sent him to the crematorium for cremation. Sha Sanli's hurried life was completely over.
This was not the first time that Lu Yuan had experienced separation between life and death, but he still felt some subtle touches.
In this world, the gap between people is slowly widening.
The inequality of life span is the biggest contradiction.
Even though everyone is generally young now and the phenomenon of "worrying not about scarcity but about inequality" has not yet appeared, in the future, the contradiction will always become bigger and bigger.
"The population cannot be greatly expanded."
"Although expanding the population can continue to improve industrial strength...but the resources of a green mountain will become stretched under the impact of a huge population."
"The main contradiction at this stage is to find a way to raise the average level of the people to level three."
"Our children are all excellent...population is more important than large numbers."
This is a little realization that Lu Yuan had.
It took almost 50 years to expand from 50,000 to 400,000.
According to this expansion rate, in another 50 years, it will reach 3.2 million. By then, there will be more talents and stronger war strength.
Lu Yuan was still determined not to expand the population too much.
In fact, this is not cost-effective. If there are more newborns, there will always be more divine technicians and the number of geniuses will be greater.
Level 3 for everyone requires a lot of resources to accumulate. After all, most people have no cultivation qualifications. Without resources, they will just stand still.
Just like Lu Yuan himself, he was actually piled up with resources...
But Lu Yuan is a soft-hearted person, he still wants everyone to live longer...
As for the development of civilization, well, it might not be bad if the internal friction is smaller.
Conch naturally agrees with Lu Yuan's idea. She is also a very soft-hearted person. In addition, she has a long lifespan. It is always unpleasant to watch her former friends grow old, sick and die.
"Even the old wolf will grow old..."
Only the old orange cat was a little hesitant.
Its round eyes glanced at the two people: "If you want to take the elite route, it's not impossible. As long as you pile up the divine attributes to more than 12 points, you will be equivalent to a national glyph worker. Then you will be awesome.
, which means that all of them are high-value talents.”
But...how difficult is this?
Every time you upgrade a god, the value increases by 3 times, but the resources consumed also increase exponentially!
The current average level is only 9 points, which requires 27 times more resources!
The 12-point god is indeed a qualitative change, but before this, even if everyone had 11-point god attributes, there would not be much benefit.
Lao Mao made a calculation: "It is beneficial to expand the population base. If there are one billion people, we can train them at low cost and select highly qualified talents. It does not need to be too high. We can select a level from thousands of miles away and train it easily."
Come out, one million 12-point god's glyph workers."
"Now you have 400,000 people. You have tried your best to train them and invested huge amounts of money. That's 400,000 sculptors."
"The former is simple and efficient, but the latter is limited to civilizations with extremely low reproductive capabilities. It's a thankless effort. Why should you get involved?"
Lu Yuan also knew this truth, and sighed: "But don't you think the current atmosphere is pretty good? There aren't too many conflicts, everyone has ideals, and they will take risks even if they are a little tired."
"If there are too many people...and if there are not enough resources, it will inevitably lead to severe involution."
"Once you pursue profit too much, all ideals and morals are lost."
To be continued...
