Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3151

Chapter 3151: Things Are Different Now

The two siblings repeatedly reminded themselves in their hearts that they should not be too surprised no matter how bizarre the objects they saw were, because they knew that the top experts of the human civilization must’ve received a lot of knowledge from the primeval relics.

However, when they walked into the main hall and saw the iron giant more than two hundred meters tall walking past the legs of the giant, they were still dumbfounded and did not know what to say for a long time.

“This—this—this is impossible!”

Meng Xiaolang was shocked. “An iron giant more than two hundred meters tall? Are you kidding me? Is it made of plastic or foam?”

“This is too incredible! This is simply inconceivable! This is an epoch-making breakthrough in materials science and engineering!”

Disbelief beamed out of Meng Lichuan’s eyes, too. He mumbled, “Is—is this a brand-new Giant God Soldier? Ten times larger?”

The super giant in front of them looked both like an awe-inspiring iron god and like a skyscraper that had suddenly come to life. Although the shell of the building had not been polished or spray-painted yet, it was still rough and vintage. Such a primitive and beautiful appearance made it look even stronger and rougher.

Meng Xiaolang and Meng Lichuan were not three-year-olds. They both knew that neither crystal suits nor Giant Soldiers were better than each other.

Just as a body of flesh and blood had the most suitable growth range, a twenty-meter tall giant was certainly not as agile as an ordinary person who was only two meters tall. The crystal suit and the giant soldier were limited by the materials, the hardness of the structure, and the consumption of energy. There was a limit to their size, too.

Generally speaking, a crystal suit that was three to five meters tall and a giant soldier that was twenty to thirty meters tall were the limits. Increasing the height and the size of the crystal suit would only double the weight of the crystal suit and increase the energy consumption and the surface area of the crystal suit. It would be a heavy burden for the joints and transmission structure of the giant soldier, and the comprehensive performance of the crystal suit would plummet.

Therefore, many well-trained soldiers and fighters despised the concept of ‘super-large humanoid machines’ and thought that it was just the imagination of children.

However, with the in-depth study of human life and spiritual energy, modern people had gradually discovered the importance of the ‘life magnetic field’. Only a giant mechanical body in the shape of a human being could resonate perfectly with the life magnetic field of a human being and increase the combat ability of the user by a hundredfold.

Therefore, overcoming a series of tricky problems in the field of materials science and engineering, and building a super-large, human-shaped mechanical body that was larger and larger in scale while limiting the energy consumption and ensuring the hardness and mobility of the structure, became a lifelong project for all the mechanics, designers, and magical equipment experts.

Before, the largest-scale Giant God Soldiers were usually limited to thirty to fifty meters.

It was not that there were no personal magical equipment of a larger scale, but such magical equipment was often shaped into round balls and could be regarded as a personal fortress. Although their long-range firepower and capacity of ammunition were as good as those of the Giant God Soldier, they could not perfectly resonate with the vitality of the user. In terms of instantaneous burst and endurance, they were absolutely no match for the Giant God Soldier.

But today, in front of Meng Xiaolang and Meng Lichuan was a giant soldier almost two hundred meters tall.

Whether the iron god was a prototype that was still being tested or just an exhibition piece, it was evident enough that the civilization of mankind had made a breakthrough in materials science, architecture, and dynamics that could potentially overturn the past ten thousand years.

At the very least, none of the modern super alloys that the two siblings were familiar with were hard enough to support such an iron god to stand on the ground as if nobody was around.

New technology, new materials, new transmission and support structures… Everything represented a brand-new war machine and combat mode. The two siblings seemed to see a new future slowly rising before their eyes.

“Look over there! Look over there!”

Meng Lichuan was no longer the calm, icy beauty in the team. He was drooling at the super soldier while Meng Xiaolang was tugging his sleeve.

She turned her head and looked in the direction that her brother was pointing at. She happened to see hundreds of thousands of mini-drones known as ‘bees’ condensing into a colorful lotus cloud in midair. The cloud slowly bloomed, and the mini-drones formed the childish faces of a boy and a girl, grinning at everyone in the hall.

“Look here! Look here!”

Meng Xiaolang shouted, “What—what—what is this?”

Since they were taking the VIP channel, it was very convenient for them to reach the central area of the hall. Not far away from Meng Xiaolang’s left side stood several tall, brown-skinned members of the Pangu Clan whose skin was full of wrinkles and heat sink holes. There were also members of the Nuwa Clan who had human heads and snake bodies and were covered in glamorous scales.

This was the first time that Meng Xiaolang had seen a living member of the Pangu Clan.

It must be noted that, in the military education of the federal army, including the legend of ‘Vulture Li Yao’, the ‘Pangu Clan’ was not a friendly friend.

Although the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan were dressed to the nines, and several big shots that were familiar to all the citizens of the federation were standing next to them, with a smile on their faces, Meng Xiaolang still felt that something was wrong. It was like a lion talking and laughing with a sheep, or a hungry wolf dancing with a rabbit.

“It seems that we are in big trouble this time!”

Meng Lichuan eyed the ‘living’ Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan curiously and suddenly blurted out.

“Huh?”

Meng Xiaolang was slightly stunned. “Sister, what did you say?”

“It must be noted that the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance, the three forces of human civilization, have made peace three years ago.

Meng Lichuan explained, “If we were not faced with new trouble, we wouldn’t have had to invest tremendous resources and develop brand-new military technology and facilities in such a time of total peace. It would’ve been impossible for us to accept the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan so easily. The primeval species, which thought that they were hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us, wouldn’t have bowed to us and surrendered all their technology and wisdom so easily.

“Therefore, there must be a certain threat that is a hundred times more terrifying than the catastrophe of the Pangu Clan. It is forcing all the intelligent species in the sea of stars to unite and grasp the greatest strength at the cost of all the rules.

“I believe that the meeting in the future is just the beginning. Three years of rest will be enough to heal the wounds caused by the war between the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Imperium, and the Star Glory Federation. From now on, human civilization as a whole will embark on the path of war preparation again, won’t it?

“Sister…”

Meng Xiaolang was awed by the unprecedented seriousness on Meng Lichuan’s face.

He knew that his sister, as the ace player of Team Moon Shadow and the best strategical analyst, would not scare him easily.

Just when he didn’t know what to say, a red light suddenly shone in the clouds above his head. A super-large 3D illusion spanning over a thousand meters appeared. It was the face of a mature woman with short red hair.

“It’s—it’s our Speaker!”

Meng Xiaolang blinked his eyes and stared for a long time before he finally recognized it.

The Ding Lingdang of the past was marked by her long, fiery hair that was burning furiously. Whenever her red hair, which looked like nine dragons, danced crazily in the sea of stars, it would always bring the courage to attack again and again for all the federal soldiers.

Meng Xiaolang could not forget that it was under the leadership of such a burning red-haired man that he and his brothers charged at the iron tide of the Imperium of True Human Beings with the remnants of the federal expedition army and finally crushed the enemy.

The wrecked warships in the sea of stars had already cooled down.

But for the veterans who had been through hundreds of battles, the boiling blood never died down.

Although Ding Lingdang had resigned a long time ago, many federal soldiers who had participated in the battle naturally addressed her as ‘our Speaker’.

However, since three years ago, Ding Lingdang had disappeared in public with the excuse of ‘seclusion’. She did not show up in the celebration even though it was the national day and the official establishment of the Kunlun Fleet.

If Meng Xiaolang remembered correctly, this was Ding Lingdang’s first public appearance in three years.

As an expert whose Cultivation had reached the peak, and at the prime of her life, three years should not have left any traces on her.

But Meng Xiaolang clearly felt that ‘our Speaker’ was completely different from three years ago.

Not only was her hair fluttering even though there was no wind, her fiery red hair, which was like a surging tide, had turned into a beautiful short hair that was longer than an inch. Her skin, which was the color of wheat, was also faintly emitting a honey-like luster. Below her skin, a red glow that was as hot as magma seemed to be surging, giving people a restrained and unfathomable feeling.

It was especially so for the pair of eyes that seemed to contain thousands of years of experience. They were completely different from the ‘Dragon King of Fire’ in the past.

“Are you kidding me? Why do I feel that Speaker Ding has made a major breakthrough and is ten times stronger than before?”

Meng Xiaolang shook his head hard and laughed at himself. “That’s impossible. Speaker Ding three years ago was already a marvelous woman who could destroy the world. Ten times stronger in only three years? Impossible!”

“Dear compatriots of the Star Glory Federation, as well as the distinguished guests from the imperium, the Holy Alliance, and the primeval era, I believe that you are all very curious about the purpose of the ‘Future Meeting’ and are eager to unveil the truth that happened in the primeval relics three years ago.

In the clouds, Ding Lingdang said resolutely, one word after another, “Three years ago, in the depths of the primeval relics that had billions of years of history, Li Yao, a super hero of the federation, burnt his life and soul in order to stop the transmission of the key information of the Pangu Universe into the sea of the universe. He bought us precious time to catch our breath and develop ourselves.

“But the threat is not gone yet. The enemy is still drawing close. Li Yao has tried his best. Our mission depends on the survivors.

“Li Yao deeply believes in the strength of his compatriots and the entire civilization of mankind. Therefore, we, the survivors, are also willing to believe that everyone can shoulder this sacred and heavy mission. In this ‘Meeting of the Future’, we will try our best to publicize all the information we have gathered over the past three years to all of mankind. We also hope that everyone—every member of the civilization of mankind, including all the carbon-based intelligent creatures who value free will—can fight side by side until the end just like Li Yao!

“No matter how dark the universe is, there will always be hope as long as we can emit our own light and heat. The strength of the enemy is beyond our imagination, but the potential and the speed of our growth are far beyond our wildest imagination, too. Now, before we reveal the intelligence of the ‘Primeval Civilization’ and the ‘Supernatural Civilization’ to all mankind, let’s show you our latest strength first!”
