Chapter 656 Helium Death Star

"Chairman, once the light-focusing bodies become light core bodies, they will learn to truly use death rays. They are an extremely powerful species because they are pure energy-state life forms, born from the death rays themselves, and therefore have the highest utilization rate of death rays, with an extremely low loss rate."

Hydrogen Flow explained, "According to the descriptions of the Seeders on Mars, they believe that they and our hydrogen-based life forms belong to the same high-limit group. In terms of destructive power and explosive force alone, they are stronger than us."

"They are initially born from the circular flow, and then begin to absorb large amounts of death light and compress it into their bodies. After reaching a high level, a large number of individuals gather, fuse and connect, and then complete the transformation into light nuclei."

"The next step is to convert other forms of energy into matter-state death rays, becoming transmutators. These are called flying rods—its official name is the Helium Death Star."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait, what is a death ray in the material state?"

"It's helium."

Inside the glass house, a hydrogen-based life form resembling a liquid metal being gestured: "We hydrogen-based life forms use hydrogen as our natural core element. They can also be called helium-based life forms. However, unlike us, they need to grow from an energy state and only after becoming transmutators do they have a material basis, belonging to a different growth path."

Zhou Yi was deeply shaken.

An unremarkable light-absorbing monster was able to grow into a helium-based life form.

Suddenly, the voice in his mind spoke up: "Da Zhou, I've heard of this! Helium-based life and hydrogen-based life are among the oldest life forms in the universe. Because the most abundant substances in the universe are hydrogen and helium."

"The tendency of hydrogen-based life is generally not bad; it tends towards order or neutrality, at most resulting in chaos..."

"But helium-based life forms are more like destroyers on a cosmic scale; they are harbingers of disaster. As soon as mature helium-based life forms appear, they will be accompanied by the destruction and explosion of various celestial bodies, leading to the annihilation of civilizations. They are the life forms we least want to encounter."

"So they are not usually called that, but rather helium death stars, because they always descend upon other civilized worlds, bringing death."

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Helium is mainly produced through nucleosynthesis during the Big Bang and nuclear reactions inside stars."

The Flower said solemnly, "To generate helium, a stellar-scale explosion is required, or in the words of the old humans, nuclear fusion."

"For example, the sun converts 6 million tons of hydrogen into 5.96 million tons of helium every second, which is nuclear fusion inside the star."

"When a star exhausts its core hydrogen in its late stages, the explosion generates high temperature and pressure, which also ejects helium into the universe."

"Therefore, helium-based life can only appear around those stars. They will absorb the newly formed helium and then transform it into part of their own matter."

"If they enter other planets or celestial bodies with life, then it is highly likely that they have discovered that these celestial bodies are about to be destroyed and are preparing to collect the helium left behind after the explosion of these celestial bodies."

“Even if it’s not a star and produces very little helium, all of its helium will be released after it’s destroyed. This amount is enormous, and contains many variants of helium, some of which are like the isotopes you’re talking about…”

"Free helium in the universe is like grass, but helium on a planet has all kinds of trees and fruits, as well as meat based on flowers, grass and trees, and a large number of important trace elements that are not found in space. It is a very rich and perfect food for helium-based life."

“Various planets, especially those with life, are transfer stations and storage rooms for the helium cycle.”

"In addition, helium-based life forms are also very aggressive because their matter is the result of explosions and destruction. Therefore, they will actively attack parts of the world, forcing them to explode prematurely in order to obtain various forms of helium within them."

"They typically orbit stars like the Sun."

"If helium death stars appear frequently in habitable regions, it means that the planet is about to die. Whether it is destroyed by natural causes or by a helium death star, it is the same."

Zhou Yi hissed upon hearing this.

"So, the Martian Rod is a planet destroyer?"

"They do have this history, but I don't think the flying rods on Mars intended to destroy the planet."

Xiao Fu said, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have been plundering the energy of the electric spirits or flying around in dust storms for so many years. I always feel that there's something wrong with the helium-based life forms here, something is wrong... It just feels like they don't have a strong sense of purpose, they're too muddled."

Its words reminded Zhou Yi.

That's true. But considering Mars was originally the territory and testing ground of the Seeders, is there any influence from the Seeders?

Zhou Yi inquired about the hydrogen flow inside the transparent house next door.

"The Seeders say that the Transformers captured six flying rods that originally lived around the Sun to avoid interfering with the solar project there, and handed them over to the Seeders. The Seeders reshaped their lives, eliminating their past self-awareness and transforming them into a kind of living satellite orbiting Mars."

Hydrogen Flow continued, "The mission of these Martian flying rods is to prevent the birth of transmutators on Mars, so they suppress the strongest electric spirits there."

"They are definitely not normal life forms."

Zhou Yi understood immediately.

Like the 16 Earth-circling overseers created by the Celestials, these were used to blockade specific planets and expel and attack transmutators appearing in these important areas.

Zhou Yi asked, "Is there any way to restrain the Martian Flying Rod?"

"Only by collecting them, storing them in a transparent castle, which the sower calls a seed vault, can they be stored. This vault can hold all kinds of life seeds, some of which are material embryos, and some of which are consciousness entities."

Hydrogen Flow said, "However, activating the seed bank's storage process requires a lot of energy, which I cannot do at the moment. It requires energy levels at the Transmutator level, as well as a large amount of hydrogen, since it is ultimately a device used by hydrogen-based life forms."

Hydrogen can be produced in large quantities.

Energy isn't a problem for Transmutators.

The gem transmuters are waiting on the moon.

Zhou Yi asked again, "Is any Transformer acceptable?"

"Yes, it's possible. Because what's needed is Transmutator-level energy. Only by reaching the Transmutator level can the valve of the hydrogen fluid inside be opened. Hydrogen also needs to be continuously filled and compressed into the seed bank. The core is that only a Transmutator can compress such a huge amount of hydrogen into a seed bank, and then use the hydrogen to drive the device inside."

It turned out to be the case.

All prerequisites are met.

Zhou Yi felt a sense of relief.

By having the gem transmutator take action, combined with the company's mass production of hydrogen, the hydrogen flow can ultimately activate the device.

He then asked, "The Old King previously discovered traces of golden elephants in the Salt Library on Mars, saying that the golden elephants were raised in the Martian core. Does this mean that the Seeders possess a technology that allows them to directly send life or objects into the core of a planet?"

There are no records on this Mars.

Hydrogen Flow said, "Each hydrogen-based life form retains different information. The one on Mars is trained to be a warrior, the one on Earth is a thinker, and I think the one on Io must have the technological part. The specific manufacturing and usage technologies, such as seed banks, might be there."

Io.

That place is a nursery for celestial beings; the risks are too high.

Not considering it for now.

Zhou Yi immediately found Ye Shen and asked her to activate the Gem Transformer and work with the Hydrogen Flow to collect the flying rods.

During this period, large quantities of hydrogen were produced and collected, and canisters of hydrogen were injected into the vast seed vault above the Mars base.

They prepared for two months in this way.

All conditions have been met.

The work of storing the Mars Flying Sticks has officially begun.
