Chapter 576: Luo Yuan’s Giant Beast Farm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the middle of Earth's outer space, a huge piece of factory land was being rapidly developed. The factory was basically a module stitch — easy to disassemble, simple to install. Most of the parts were moved from Space City in the Barnard Star System. With that as their process, it only took only two months or so and the factory already looked spectacular. It covered over tens of thousands of square kilometers and was visible to the naked eye from millions of kilometers away on Earth.
Compared to building a factory on the planet's surface, the Space Factory was undoubtedly far more advantageous. This was especially so for certain types of gigantic machinery with a huge mass or even a highly sensitive and precise instruments. Space was a naturally dust-free, zero-gravity environment that would more often than not, reduce the possibility of trouble and greatly reduce the technical difficulty of such an endeavor on Earth.
Even if the humans had returned to Earth, the industrial area of utmost importance would still remain in space. Earth would only house small-scale industry and a variety of research institutions.
…
After migrating back to Earth for no longer than two months, the humans still temporary lived in the micro-universe to this day.
Luo Yuan went through the dimension portal. Before long, he appeared in his house and took out the energy core immediately, filling the entire hall with a psychedelic glimmer. The brilliance could shine through the wall and spread throughout Space City. The active energy concentration in the air was immediately raised by thousands of times.
Naturally, there were two sides to a coin. One side of the coin was the low concentration of active energy in the micro-universe while the other side was the fact that the energy core emitted an incredible amount of energy.
The core's was as big as a fist, and it was the largest Luo Yuan ever found.
If the first energy core's size was measured as the number one, the second energy core would be measured as two. The final energy core however, it would score a ten based on that scale.
Similar to the interstellar beast, the gap in strength was just too great!
When Luo Yuan had first slain the interstellar beast, he solely relied on Earth's gravitational pull. This made it falter and caused difficulty in its movements. The second beast was only active in both space and on the moon. However, the current interstellar beast could survive within the depths of Jupiter. Regardless of its strength or its size, it was in a league of its own.
Luo Yuan pulled his thoughts together as he attempted to crack the energy core once more. However, he quickly gave up as the tiny core was almost made from pure energy from tiny leptons. With his power, he could only control things that went as small as a neutron so let's not talk about copying one, even cracking the way it functioned was several orders higher than what Luo Yuan was capable of.
At the very least it was impossible to manufacture an item of that level in the foreseeable future regardless if it was Luo Yuan or the humans.
Fortunately, he had already mentally prepared himself. Instead of being disappointed, he immediately established a telepathic mind connection instead.
"Chief Dong, come here!"
"Director, what's your order?" The Chief of the Security Corps quickly ran all the way over and stood with his head down at the entrance.
He could feel a strange light in the hall. After exposing himself to such a light, his entire body felt a thirst from deep within. It was as if buds had begun . to grow while he bathed under the sunlight of early spring and it was stretching its branches and leaves.
He dared not lift his head or suspect anything. After facing a leader that closely resembled a God, he would not feel anything strange at all. This was something that went without saying even in the presence of extraordinary situations.
"Take this and send it to the Wisdom Tree Planting Base. They'll take good care of it!"
This light emitting energy core slowly floated to the front of the chief as he extended both his hands to receive it. The next moment, he felt a raging heat flow from his hand toward his body. Then, his entire body felt like it was flaming hot, and it was as if he was being burned. His muscles were trembling vigorously, and his veins surfaced on his skin as his body seemed as if it was burning from a huge flame. His gut seemed almost scorched, but he had a rigid attitude. Although there was a sudden change at that very moment, and he was internally panicking, his facial expression remained stoic. Then, he gritted his teeth and froze his face as he replied loudly, "Director! Are there any more orders?!"
"There's nothing else. Go carry out your job!" Luo Yuan glanced at him. Seeing that there was not much danger to him and that his life force was burning even brighter, Luo Yuan quickly answered him.
The Chief of the Security Corps went out the door and quickly walked down the path with a fast pace. After walking for about ten meters or so, he finally succumbed and dropped to the floor, kneeling with an erratic breathing pattern. His saliva flowed from his mouth, and his entire body was steaming while it gave off heat to the surroundings.
As the heat within his body gradually cooled down, the fear within his eyes had slowly turned to joy. He could feel his heartbeat rising along with a power growing within his body. As that happened, he felt renewed with an unspeakable form of happiness within him.
He secretly clenched his fist, and as his joints cracked, an indescribable excitement rose within his heart.
'This power!' He groaned from within his heart.
After looking at the mysterious glowing object that had tumbled down onto the floor, he quickly picked it up and held it closed in his palm. At this moment, the object was a holy artifact in his eyes.
As long as this object was in his hands, he would not dare to ignore or delay Luo Yuan's orders by any means. However, the holy object would at the very least be under his control while it was being delivered to the Wisdom Tree Planting Base. Perhaps, he could slow down during the delivery.
…
Aside from the Chief of the Security Corps' careful thoughts, Luo Yuan had also opened the A.I. system to read the messages from a few government higher-ups. He only glanced through most of the messages briefly. The only few messages that caught Luo Yuan's attention was a proposal to construct a Dyson Sphere.
The Glassian's Dyson Sphere had deeply shocked and made a long lasting impression on him. It was a marvel of engineering and was like a civilization's progress accelerator. Once it was completed, it would undoubtedly transform human civilization once again.
This would mean that humans would gain access to limitless energy, and there would be no further discussion about energy problems for thousands of years within the foreseeable future of human progress. However, even if they were able to utilize a-billionth of a fraction of the sun's energy, it was already sufficient for the humans.
With their current technological level, the task of constructing a Dyson Sphere would not prove to be very difficult. With the knowledge and techniques learned from the Glassian's Dyson Sphere and by referencing each other, the humans would most likely have a better implementation of the plan.
If it works, it'll benefit the future. If it was constructed now, they would still be able to reap the rewards.
In fact, there have been arguments among the humans regarding the Dyson Sphere. It was like a double-edged sword that could potentially bring tonnes of benefit to mankind while bringing a significant amount of danger as well.
Within the universe, every star was like a lighthouse within the dark and was a source for signal transmissions. For example, the Extraterrestrial Information Bureau of the humans had the task of constantly monitoring the situation of Earth's surrounding star systems and to explore the possible existence of another civilization nearby.
If the Humans rashly weakened the signal transmission source or even shielded it. This would undoubtedly be a signal to extraterrestrial civilizations that something was happening in that area!
This argument finally come to a close when the Spatial Wavelength Detector was used. It was then that this project proposal finally got a unanimous opinion.
Through the years of monitoring the Glassians in real-time, everyone realized something. Regardless of there being a Dyson Sphere in human civilizatino or otherwise, it would still be almost impossible to avoid an investigation from other similar civilization once there was sufficient activity in the star system
With the solar system as the center, within a hundred light years would be 963 star systems. If a star were to be constantly monitored with the Spatial Wavelength Detector for over three days, it would only require ten years to carry out a full investigation.
Additionally, all those were only the result of utilizing one Spatial Wavelength Detector. If there were five detectors available, the investigation time would rapidly decrease.
As for the civilizations nearby that were more advanced than the humans. They probably already had their sights on them ever since they began exploring their solar system.
After Luo Yuan replied in agreement, his figure flashed and entered his private micro-universe. He was preparing to test his ideas out.
He took out a black sphere containing an interstellar beast, and used his fourth-dimensional vision to look through the sphere, As he looked closely and thought about the 'giant beast', about half an hour of time had passed and it still looked dead. It was like a dead fish that was not even wiggling as it floated on the liquid hydrogen. Its body was glowing dimly as it lay there, dying. There was no struggle like when it was about to be captured.
'Looking at the energy core, it's confirmed that it's very important to the interstellar beast. Once taken away, it was almost as if I was robbing it of half of its life force.' Luo Yuan thought in his mind. However, what was out of his expectation was that its recovery speed was only slightly slower than what he had originally assumed.
He obviously did not capture the giant beast to have it as a pet but to continue to harvest energy cores. Although, with this slow of a recovery rate it was far from being able to satisfy Luo Yuan.
"Looks like there has to be some way to do this!"
