Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 700 - The Ancient Ruins’ Summon

Wu Haibo’s words were not without reason.

It was just like how it was impossible for a primary school student to obtain high marks in the college entrance examination by relying on a few university textbooks.

It was also impossible for a three-year-old child to defeat an elite special forces soldier by relying on a set of the most advanced power armor.

At the current level of human civilization, no matter how much resources, time, and smart brains were invested, it was impossible to activate and inherit all the power of the ancient ruins.

Unfortunately, for Dragon City, time, resources, and smart brains were the things that were most in need.

Using good steel on the blade and suspending most of the exploration and research projects of the ancient ruins was the most reasonable decision made by the authorities based on the current situation.

However, in Meng Chao’s eyes, who was familiar with the tragic war between worlds that would happen in the next few decades, the decision was a huge mistake.

Perhaps, to deal with ordinary monsters and ordinary elves, dwarves, blood races, and mages, all that was needed were runes, secret treasures, and the remains of prehistoric war machines on the periphery of the ancient ruins.

Despite that, to defeat the gods of other worlds who were above all races and played the fate of carbon-based intelligent life in their hands, these rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, and main battle tanks were not enough. They were far from enough.

No matter how high the risk was, the Dragon City civilization had to persevere and explore the deeper parts of the ancient ruins.

They had to train more and more “divers” to sketch out the full picture of the ancient civilization and discover the truth that they had summoned the people of Earth there.

Otherwise, even if the Dragon City civilization once again turned into an “Extraordinary Disaster” that was ten times stronger than the one Meng Chao’s memories, it still would not be able to escape the hands of the Other World’s gods and demons.

Of course, Meng Chao currently did not have the strength to push this matter forward.

He planned to wait until the monster civilization was completely destroyed and the few projects he had invested in were on the right track. Once he had sufficient cash flow, he would turn his head and increase his investment in the various projects of the ancient ruins research center.

He estimated that when the true faces of the Other World’s ten thousand races were presented to the people of Dragon City, the shrewd people of Dragon City would definitely smell the enormous business opportunities that were hidden in the few projects he had set up in advance.

There was no need to wait for the monkey-version weapons, dragon mansion coke, Earth brand cigarettes, and alcohol, as well as other products to be exported and to bring in profits.

Just the early financial operations alone were enough for him to make a lot of money and have a lot of cash flow.

At that time, Meng Chao believed that with his money and connections, he would definitely be able to obtain a greater say in the ancient ruins research center.

There was no need to be in a hurry, but he would immediately drill into the deep dive zone.

If he had sufficient personnel, technology, and equipment for the new exploration, he would be able to prepare for a rainy day.

Thinking of that, Meng Chao concentrated even more and listened to Wu Haibo’s introduction of the research center’s current situation.

Wu Haibo also had high hopes for Meng Chao, a money tree that was becoming stronger and stronger every day.

His saliva flew everywhere, and he talked non-stop as he introduced the project with great effort.

He told Meng Chao that the ancient ruins research department was currently advancing about 120 projects.

It sounded like a lot, but in his opinion, most of the projects were not of good quality.

Basically, they were accurately mapping ancient weapons, shrinking them in proportion to the size of humans, and then replicating them. Such projects were very practical, but there was nothing original about them. There were also projects that did not raise the level of basic theory and technology.

There was nothing they could do. Whether it was the mega corporations or the Red Dragon Army, they were only willing to invest in these projects that were low in difficulty, practical, and quick to take effect.

Under the enormous pressure of the monster war, it was impossible for them to spend decades of astronomical resources to strive for an illusory breakthrough in basic theory.

“In the past few years, the atmosphere in the institute has been getting worse and worse. Everyone is testy and impatient as if the only criterion to measure the feasibility of the project is combat ability. No matter what treasures are dug out from the depths of the ancient ruins, the first thing they say is, how much combat ability can this thing help humans raise? “The more you raise, the more investments you make, and the less you raise. or those whose uses are unknown, you don’t even look at them and just give away your research funds. You’ll have to thank the Heavens!”

As Wu Haibo spoke, he began to complain again, “Originally, there were only two projects left in the institute, 101 and 109. They were also slightly related to basic theoretical research. If everyone helped each other and flattered each other in business, they could even get a few more funds from the higher-ups. Who knew that the explosion of the 109 project two years ago not only caused them to be reduced to ashes, it even nearly destroyed half of the underground space. Even the Supernatural Tower was affected.

“As a result, the higher-ups are more and more convinced that the research we are doing is too dangerous. Many investors have withdrawn their investments. They would rather study how to increase the attack power of a peerless divine weapon by 5% or how to shorten the cooldown of a super-killing weapon by three to five seconds. Such insignificant tricks are not willing to invest in us. It is possible that the entire civilization will gallop in the Sea of stars. This is a great, epoch-making research

“Wait, the big explosion from two years ago even affected the upper echelons?”

Meng Chao’s heart stirred.

What Wu Haibo said was most likely the big explosion that happened at the bottom of the transcendental tower at the same time as his rebirth.

Figuring out the truth behind the big explosion was also one of Meng Chao’s main motives for going deep into the ancient ruins.

He had originally planned on beating around the bush to probe further.

He did not expect that his identity as the youngest blood medal holder in Dragon City, the Battle God’s assistant professor, and the young, impetuous, foolish, and rich investor would be so useful. Before he could ask, Wu Haibo had already told him everything.

“Project 101 is to study controllable transmigration technology. I wonder what Project 109 is about?”

Meng Chao asked curiously, “Also, what kind of research would be so exaggerated as to almost blow up half of the underground space?”

“Project 109 is perhaps the most mysterious project in the entire Relic Research Institute. In fact, even the members of the project team don’t know what answer they will find.”

Wu Haibo said mysteriously, “To be specific, Project 109 is about a corpse, a crystal-clear corpse that seems to be carved out of crystals.”

“A crystal-clear corpse?”Meng Chao was slightly taken aback.

Did this corpse have anything to do with his return from the Apocalypse?

“If we’re talking about the corpses, remains, fossils, and the like that we dug out of the ruins, there are indeed quite a few of them. Most of them have strange shapes and ferocious faces. Even experienced reapers like you would be disgusted by them for three days and three nights. We’ve seen many of them, and we don’t care about them. However, this corpse is extremely strange. Even now, when I think about it, I still feel a chill run down my spine.”

Wu Haibo said, “This crystal-clear corpse is about three meters tall. Other than its body size and the materials that make up its body, it is almost the same as the people on Earth. Its brain, eyeballs, blood vessels, nerves, limbs, and internal organs are all in place.

“The only organ that the people on earth do not have is its spiritual vein.

“You know, even if the people on Earth have awakened extraordinary powers after training, our spiritual veins are still invisible and untouchable. They are not real organs, but spiritual energy that is restricted by the magnetic field of life.

“But inside this translucent body, other than the blood vessels and nerves, there is a complicated and mysterious spiritual vein system that is as thin as spider silk.

“It made us suspect that the carbon-based intelligent life that was born with a spiritual vein system was born with the ability to utilize spirit energy. Were they all born superhuman?

“However, that was not the weirdest part.

“The weirdest part was that when we found the crystal-clear body, it was leaning against a broken ancient rune machine. There was not the slightest injury on its body, and its expression was very peaceful as if it had already predicted its own ending.

“On its legs, there was an alloy armor panel that should have been removed from the rune machine. However, it treated it as a ‘letter’ and a ‘drawing board’, and half-painted on it… was a suicide note.

“Even now, we still haven’t been able to decipher the contents of this suicide note. The other party used a language that was a hundred times more complicated and precise than runes. It was clearly displayed on a two-dimensional plane, but it had an effect that surpassed three dimensions. Every word seemed to contain the information of an entire library.

“However, we were still able to recognize the drawing that the other party drew on the alloy panel.

“Because the other party drew our home, Earth!”

“What?”

Meng Chao almost cried out.

A carbon-based intelligent life form that had died in the depths of an immemorial relic an unknown amount of time ago had drawn earth in the “will”?

It did sound extremely weird.

“Yes, that is Earth, the third planet of the Solar System. It has a satellite named ‘moon.'”

Wu Haibo said, “The other party has accurately drawn the topography of the Eurasian continent on Earth. Whether it is the mountains, basins, rivers, islands, or the outline of the coastline, they are all very similar to Earth.

“Although there are hundreds of millions of planets in this universe, I don’t think that without human intervention, there is a second planet that will grow to look like Earth.”

“Wait…”

Frowning, Meng Chao asked, “Is he drawing the earth as it is now, or as it was tens of thousands of years ago?”

This was a very critical question.

It was because the topography of the earth was not always the same.

The seemingly indestructible crustal plates were actually like eggshells that were flowing on magma. They were colliding, squeezing, tearing, eroding, and growing all the time.

As the saying goes, the world has changed.

Not to mention the Pangu Continent, where all the plates were integrated into one.

Even though the coastline of Eurasia had undergone obvious changes in the past ten thousand years, it was still the same.

If the other side had drawn some famous rivers, which had experienced countless floods and diversions in the past thousand years, they would not have remained unchanged.

“You’re right.”

Wu Haibo revealed a mysterious smile. “The other party has drawn the current Earth. Whether it’s the mountains, rivers, or the coastline, they are all from the Earth’s era, from the 21st century to the 22nd century.”
