Chapter 254: Solar Ring Wall and Assembly

Chapter 254: Solar Ring Wall and Assembly
Zhou Yi looked at the solar wall in front of him.

It is difficult to measure its exact height.

The visible area is the circle around the red light. The farther range is covered by some kind of power, making Zhou Yi unable to distinguish which is darkness itself and which is the black gem.

Here, white gemstones are the least abundant.

They move freely and among gemstones of different colors, and seem to act as lubricants to prevent overly strong reactions between different gemstones.

Zhou Yi also discovered that there was a transparent liquid flowing on the wall. Sometimes it would evaporate into gas and sometimes it would solidify in some places.

It is the body fluid found in living beings.

If the wall surrounding the sun is eventually proven to be another form of celestial being, Zhou Yi would not be surprised.

Except for the fact that it is not spherical, its structure is consistent with that of a celestial being with life signs, with four-colored gems, transparent body fluids, and an astonishing volume that can cover the universe.

So Zhou Yi was also very cautious.

After making sure he couldn't get past the front, he kept his distance from the gem wall.

During further observation, Zhou Yi also noticed that the number of rubies continued to increase.

Some of the black gems are gradually transforming into rubies, and it seems that they have captured and stored enough circular flow information.

These newly generated rubies will gather towards the center. They have a strong attraction to each other and eventually condense to the light source.

Xiaofu also said: "Our guess is correct. This wall is used to further collect information from the circular flow."

"The area inside the wall that is full of energy is where the living live, and the area outside the wall that is lacking in energy is where the dead are placed."

Zhou Yi raised a question that had been around for a long time.

"In your opinion, did the man outside the wall die of natural causes, or did he die of some other reason?"

After pondering for a moment, the upstreamer replied, "The larger and more sophisticated the organization, the more problems it is prone to. The same is true for life. Ordinary insects and simple life forms that cannot be seen by the naked eye only need a few resources to survive, but when it comes to the size and structure of celestial beings, they need a lot."

"In addition to energy, there must also be a specific carrier. From the information I have collected so far, I suspect that the Celestial Beings cannot survive independently as individuals."

"Just like the memory you read in the ruby, the liquid system that their living bodies need has disappeared from their corpses."

"In addition, as for the gemstones that are the basic life units, you have already tried and found that you cannot make them independently. You need to have this basic life carrier supplied from the outside to replenish them."

"I understand... It turns out that the Celestial Being is a kind of assembled life, or an assembly."

"assembly?"

Zhou Yi was confused: "The celestial being was assembled?"

"You could say the same thing."

Xiaofu said: "Assembly is a composite life composed of two or more basic units."

"They are usually quite large and have a variety of capabilities, but their biggest flaw is that they cannot replicate themselves, which means they have no ability to continue to reproduce. In addition, they need more external basic units to help maintain their own operation and even evolution."

Zhou Yi thought: "Isn't this the case for most life forms? Humans are also made up of cells."

"no."

Xiaofu emphasized: "The biggest feature of the assembly structure itself is that it is the result of a planned and directional transformation, rather than a natural evolution."

"Take humans as an example. The way humans change is to adapt to the environment in order to survive better. But the assembly first determines a required assembly direction and then evolves in this direction."

"This is the difference between being passive and active. The logic and purpose behind it are completely different."

"I once read some information about assemblies. They require a large number of basic units to be constantly replenished and exchanged in order to maintain the necessary movement. Otherwise, they will become static, which is the same as death. Assemblies cannot be born naturally. They need secondary units to start the assembly process."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Wait a minute. I don't understand one thing. They are assembled lives, so who assembled them?"

"Secondary unit."

Xiaofu said: "Those glass men are the ones who specialize in assisting the assembly of the Celestial Beings. They are also part of the Celestial Beings."

"So I infer that they are paying attention to the Earth surrounded by the circular current because they are attracted by the diverse species in this world. They want to find new secondary units from it, whether to replace or supplement the glass people, which can bring more activity and choices."

"To put it simply, we need to find assemblers from the existing wasteland world to complete their bodies."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

This explains a lot of things.

The celestial beings always choose a larger number of life forms as projection bodies. It seems that they are not only used to project and observe the wasteland world, but also to test and experiment whether this kind of life itself is suitable as a secondary unit.

"But the Celestial Civilization should also have its own problems."

Xiaofu continued, "Because under normal circumstances, large-scale screening would be enough. But they act independently and project independently... I suspect that something went wrong inside them. Or maybe they are just like the upstreamers, each doing their own thing and not interfering with each other."

"To find out the reasons, further investigation is needed. We can't rush into it."

Zhou Yi also agreed.

We must take our time to investigate the celestial being. If we get too close to the solar wall, our fake celestial being might be exposed and put in danger.

Let’s pick up the corpse first.

It’s better to have more gems to be prepared.

……

During the 11 days of traveling, except for resting, Zhou Yi was basically immersed in the world of heaven and man, either picking up corpses everywhere or observing the red walls.

Although there was no major progress, three new celestial remains were obtained.

Unfortunately, no new rubies were captured.

At the same time, Yalong Bay also bypassed various dangerous places at sea and arrived at Dongji Island.

Zhou Yi's first impression of this place was that it was desolate.

There was nothing but desert and rocks everywhere, with almost no vegetation and very few local creatures. He only saw gerbils and some insects, and even few flying birds.

Zhou Yi couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

I should have brought Nemo along. He is a gerbil expert and can talk to the local rats. Maybe I can get some clues from these indigenous people.

The voice from Kunming Station came from the Red Falcon's loudspeaker: "Mr. Zhou, I have made a satellite signal mark. The Olympic Sports Center is at the marked location."

So Zhou Yi drove the Emerald City and walked slowly in the strange land following the satellite navigation.

The spring on Dongji Island is still cold. There are some bare trees in the inland and large areas of bare land. It is hard to imagine that 20 people once lived here.

The Kunming station said: "According to what we know, the island itself is not suitable for farming and is seriously desertified. Even when Dongji Gong was in power, it needed to import large quantities of food, timber, textiles and other necessary materials from outside."

"The industry here is mainly divided into two parts. One is the construction of the Guangshen Port to collect Guangshen sand, and the other is that there are some rare metal mines underground that have been mined in a concentrated manner."

"But these are all covers for training mutants."

While Zhou Yi was chatting with it about the situation on Dongji Island, he was observing the local environment through the Red Kestrel's high-altitude camera.

There is an east-west river here, and you can vaguely see traces of artificial modification. I think that in the past, Dongjigong had built a water conservancy project to facilitate local people's access to drinking water.

The ruins of the four cities are all located next to rivers.

However, all that remains of the city now are some broken walls, and there is not a single intact house, as most of them are buried under sand and gravel.

There is no trace of human beings on the entire Dongji Island.

The Olympic Sports Center is located on a high ground far away from water sources. There is also an abandoned large mining area next to it, and you can vaguely see damaged smelting furnaces, collapsed sentry towers, and some stones and rusty iron scattered outside the mine.

As you get closer, Emerald City looks like a little kid in front of the Olympic Sports Center.

The stadium is shaped like a lotus, with the steel canopy forming white petals covering the building.

It is over 300 meters in diameter and about 60 meters high, and is so huge that it looks like an independent small city. Although there is an open-air structure on the top, it is covered by a layer of white fog, and it is difficult to see what is inside.

The Olympic Sports Center stands quietly on the ground.

Zhou Yi stopped the Emerald City and walked to the side of this giant building.

Kunming Station said: "Please rest assured, United City has reached an agreement with the Olympic Sports Center. Mr. Zhou, as long as you confirm with it, it will leave here with you and move to United City."

Zhou Yi suddenly frowned.

At this time, my life was actually declining.

……

The red numbers are particularly eye-catching.

I am now my original body, with 425 points of defense.

Defense can counteract radiation.

The strong radiation from Li Mo that I encountered before proved this point.

But it's completely different here.

It's like ignoring the life damage caused by defense.

Zhou Yi slowly retreated.

After taking a dozen steps back, the decay stopped.

He walked back and forth again.

In the end, Zhou Yi determined that the source of the radiation was the Olympic Sports Center.
