Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 661 Five Stars Align, Jiong Hecang

Out of respect for his partner, Zhou Yi informed the old king that the seed-seeding ship would be temporarily leaving the area.

The former king was very nervous about this.

"Will this affect the Mars base?"

"No, the defense mechanism comes from that black void..."

Zhou Yi explained to the other party that these were two different technological systems of the Seeders. The Seeding Ship was responsible for incubating and nurturing life, while the Void was a protective mechanism; the two did not affect each other.

The old king remained very hesitant and indecisive.

After all, this is an extraterrestrial base that it has developed with all its might. The Star Nexus Matrix has poured its savings, manpower, and resources of more than two hundred years into Mars. If something goes wrong, it will lose everything.

It finally said, "It seems you have no choice but to do this?"

"It must be done."

Zhou Yi didn't waste any words: "This is a crucial juncture in the company's ultimate strategy, and now is the best time."

Knowing that his opposition would be futile, the old king displayed restraint and rationality: "I need an hour to fully activate the underground shelters and transfer all base members above ground to the underground to avoid unforeseen risks. This is an emergency plan that was prepared when the base was built, but this is the first time it has been activated on such a large scale."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "Okay."

next moment.

Alarms were sounded throughout the entire Mars base, and broadcasts were activated in all areas.

[Residents of the base, an urgent notice is hereby issued: the Mars base will be in a state of war. All residents, please cease all activities and proceed to the shelter in an orderly manner through the nearest underground passage.]

[The shelters have enough food and water for a week. Each shelter can accommodate 1000 people. Please enter the shelters immediately. Repeat, please enter the shelters immediately! This is not a drill!]

The broadcast officially announced a state of war.

After a brief moment of shock and disorientation, the base residents ran one by one to the nearest passage and took the elevator down into the underground.

Everywhere were refugees rushing about. Fortunately, those who came here had received basic disaster training and knew that this place was different from Earth and that there were theoretical risks involved.

With the guidance and assistance of the soldiers, a large number of residents quickly moved from the surface to the underground.

after an hour.

The base was completely deserted.

Zhou Yi gave the order.

The giant silver ring high in the sky began to slowly rotate, and a metallic mirror surface stretched out from the center of the ring, making the entire seed ship look like a large silver plate.

It continuously accelerated its rotation, then turned into silver light and disappeared instantly, leaving only a huge, dark void.

As Hydrogen Flow stated, the departure of the seed ship had no impact on the base space.

This area remains an air wall zone where dust storms cannot approach.

The killer rats also avoided this area.

When Zhou Yi arrived on the moon, he found that the silver ring-shaped seed ship was already hovering in the sky above it, having returned to its original silver giant ring shape.

Hydrogen flow transmitted its thoughts, saying, "Nurturer, I did it! I've set this ship on track!"

"It can find nearby spatial cavities and is currently activated, allowing it to travel anywhere! This ship is controlled by hydrogen, and only hydrogen-based life forms can master it!"

"The ship has a special structure that can continuously absorb and store energy from the outside world. The energy accumulated inside over many years is enough for continuous navigation for hundreds of years."

"We need coordinates, and currently all the coordinates are within this solar system."

Zhou Yi thought to himself that this was good news.

The vehicles left behind by the sowers come equipped with devices for cultivating and modifying life; they are truly powerful artifacts of a civilization.

If all else fails, you can use this to escape.

Zhou Yi immediately said, "Then release Jiong Hecang."

"Yes."

A biological black hole flew out of the seeding ship.

The two black holes originally orbited each other and were in constant motion, while the outer Jionghe Cang was more like a small satellite that was captured while passing by.

But now the two major transformers have begun to gradually separate from each other. Samsung Movement has quickly reversed course, and the two elder transformers have begun to revolve around the glowing flame-like Kyung-Hakura Movement, using it as their absolute core.

The inverted celestial formation was completed on site.

Jiong Hecang's voice was filled with undisguised excitement, even trembling slightly: "Chairman, I did it, I did it, I did it!"

"As expected, they fell into silence after leaving the Martian region... their consciousness completely went dormant because the commands they received came from the seeding ship, which was constantly being strengthened and formed, like a long-distance signal. Although the seeding ship is still nearby, the original environment is no longer suitable, and this part of their consciousness has disappeared after arriving on the moon."

"Right now, the flying stick's consciousness domain is completely blank!"

"Therefore, establishing a consciousness link with them became effortless, and they directly became extensions of my body!"

"I...I'm a Transformer!"

"Chairman, I really did it! Thank you for helping me accomplish this crazy mission!"

Zhou Yi was also thrilled upon hearing this.

While gem transmuters are excellent, they lack intrinsic agency and are highly dependent on the moon goddess's control. Their transmutation abilities and strength are therefore quite limited.

But the Focusing Body suddenly possessed the energy bodies of two Transformers, and ascended directly on the spot!

This is equivalent to the company directly creating a polymorphic employee!
Overjoyed, Zhou Yi immediately asked, "What are your current elements?"

"There are two elements. One is helium, and the other is oxygen."

Huh?
The Mars Flying Rod was actually made by burning helium and oxygen. Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

Xiao Fu suddenly spoke up: "Great Zhou, 70% of the matter in stars is hydrogen, then nearly 30% is helium, and among the remaining trace elements, oxygen is already considered to be relatively abundant."

"Helium-based life forms would naturally choose oxygen as an element to live around stars. Oxygen is actually abundant in the universe; it's just a matter of development and extraction."

Zhou Yi thought of another question: "Why do hydrogen-based life forms grow so much slower than helium-based life forms? Although there are a few light-gathering bodies on Earth, there are still some, and several helium-based life forms in the solar system have reached the transmutator stage, but only the Seeder is a hydrogen-based life form at the transmutator level..."

"Different growth paths and focuses."

Xiaofu said, "The fluid life forms among hydrogen-based life forms are growing slowly because they require a lot of consciousness to incubate."

"In your words, helium death stars can be seen as scavengers. They can quickly take shape near stars and are powerful in combat. However, because they pursue absolute strength in the energy state, they are weak in terms of intelligence, technology, and thinking ability."

"This direction requires war to sustain war, which will inevitably lead to conflicts with other powerful species or civilizations that come for the stars. Therefore, on a cosmic scale, it is unavoidable to participate in frequent wars."

"If one can grow stronger through countless battles, one can reach an unbelievable and astonishing level of strength. Any path, when taken to its extreme, is terrifying."

"However, it seems that there is no such helium-dead star in the solar system that can overcome all other forces."

"The Seeders are the path of the wise, requiring a great deal of time to learn and collect various information, and to learn to use the various natural laws of the universe. In order to facilitate the rapid growth of newborns, the Seeders prepare Seeding Ships to cultivate various life forms nearby. These are used to allow the Seeders of the young to learn, accumulate knowledge, and experiment."

"The reason why the helium death stars could be easily captured by the Seeders and transformed into biological tools on Mars is because the two have different focuses. If the former cannot break through the Seeders in a short time and prolong the time, they will almost certainly be defeated and captured by the latter."

Zhou Yixin said that was indeed true.

Don’t talk about anything else.

Even though they are both Skywalkers, Hydrogen Flow's thinking ability and keen insight into the world far surpass those of Jiong Hecang.

After the company awakened to its potential, Hydrogenflow transformed from a mentally challenged snowman into a strategist in just over a year.

This learning ability is truly astonishing.

Jiong Hecang is still very focused on pure energy and has a natural disinterest in other things in the outside world.

It's like a competitive game with two different types of players.

Jiong Hecang places extreme emphasis on gaining an advantage in lane. If he can't dominate in lane, he can't play the game at all and becomes completely ineffective.

While Hydrogen Stream may lack laning strength, it boasts a strong overall strategic vision, capable of providing support and identifying enemy weaknesses and neutral resources. Even when at a disadvantage, it can use other methods to manage and create opportunities to turn the tide.

However, at the company.

You need employees who are good at playing the game, as well as employees who are good at operations and have good minds. When the two are combined, you can achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.

Zhou Yi pondered to himself.

Hei Hecang's voice came again: "Chairman, I have completely mastered these two new bodies. I want to go a step further. Could you release the other two flying rods as well, so I can operate them together?"

Two are used, and four are used.

It's just sitting idle in the seed-planting boat anyway.

Zhou Yi agreed.

Two more flying sticks were released from the seed ship, and were immediately captured by Jionghecang.

Its form changed again.

The blue flame-shaped Jionghe Cang transformed into a head, followed by a long serpentine formation of four biological black holes, their edges emitting a white-blue halo.

It was arranged into a five-star alignment.

It said excitedly, "Chairman, I've connected them all, and I feel great!"

"The energy intensity and precision of the polymorphic transmutator are truly terrifying to me... Even if a thousand light cores were combined, they could not possibly defeat a single transmutator, and would be blown up before they could even touch one."

"The Transformers can launch pinpoint strikes on any point on the ground from planetary orbit, while the light cores on the ground cannot reach such a distance... The difference is too great."

This is not surprising.

Between equally matched forces, if a weakness in a certain aspect is exploited, it will be amplified infinitely.

Not to mention there's a huge gap.

Unfortunately, only one of these four helium-based life forms is polymorphic, meaning that the only elements it can use are helium and oxygen.

Their ideal place to grow is the sun, but that place is now a forbidden zone blocked by the heavens and humans.

Staying on the moon is also a good option, as the energy there is relatively abundant, allowing for timely attacks that the alien forces on the other side cannot defeat.

Zhou Yi told Jiong Hecang to focus on training his troops here.

The Moon Goddess was delighted to hear this: "Great! Finally, I have a target to fight against my Evolver. I had no way to practice before. Now I want to see just how far an Evolver can go!"

Both are polymorphic beings, so they are evenly matched and can verify each other's abilities and strength.

Zhou Yi was also happy to see it happen.

Just as the Moon Goddess was controlling the Gem Transformer and battling Jiong Hecang in the sky, the shockwaves formed by the energy swept across the surface of the moon, obliterating even the Great Dao of the Universe.

Suddenly, Hydrogen Flow sent a message: "Chairman, I have received a distress signal."

“A hydrogen-based life form has requested assistance… Its seed ship is damaged, and its energy is constantly dissipating. This signal has been ongoing for many years.”

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "There are hydrogen-based life forms?"

"It's that hydrogen-based life form from Io."

"No reception on Mars?"

"It's not over there. Because it's not on Io, it's on Venus, the seed ship crashed there. The distress signal here is very weak, I only just deciphered it myself."
