The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 17 Launching the 'Satellite'

In the cave in the belly of Babao Peak, Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, a dazzling light gushed out from the jade platform, and Shi Mo's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Kunpeng, just wait, I'll settle the score with you sooner or later!" Shi Mo gritted his teeth as he felt the injuries on his arms and body, and then his headache got worse.

"Now, after fighting with Ji Meng and being targeted by Kunpeng, it is undoubtedly even more unrealistic for me to go to the Primordial Starry Sky to study the laws governing the movement of the Zhou Tian stars."

"What should I do? Should I just give up like this?" Shi Mo was a little unwilling: "Is there any way that I can understand the laws governing the movement of the stars in the celestial sphere without going to the Primordial Starry Sky?"

"It would be great if I could launch a satellite in the prehistoric world, so I could easily observe the prehistoric starry sky." Shi Mo suddenly had this idea and couldn't help but laugh:

"I'm terrible at math and physics, and I still want to launch a satellite? I don't think so."

"No, this is the prehistoric world. It's not impossible to create something like a satellite, let it fly quietly to the prehistoric sky, and secretly observe the movement of the stars in the sky!" Shi Mo's eyes lit up as he had an idea.

"It's not difficult to fly. All you need to do is provide enough energy and use the formation method." The more Shi Mo thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible:
"The key is that this 'satellite' must be inconspicuous, with its aura restrained. But the most important thing is how to ensure that it can still communicate with me even from such a vast distance in the vast starry sky, acting as my eyes to observe the movement of the celestial bodies."

"I got it." Shi Mo thought about it carefully, and an idea came to his mind. He clenched his left fist and punched the chest.

Suddenly, with a cracking sound, a piece of jade-like stone shattered from his chest. Then, the light flowing from the broken hole in his chest quickly recovered. Shi Mo looked at the jade stone emitting a mysterious luster and pondered.
In just a moment, Shi Mo, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, used his mind to mobilize his magical power to draw on the jade stone floating in front of his chest.
As patterns like a network of earth veins were imprinted on the jade, the jade soon attracted the power of the earth veins and slowly formed a thick rock shell on the surface. The aura also became restrained, and it absorbed the external spiritual energy at a slow speed.

Under Shi Mo's contemplation and outline, the jade stone that originated from his body finally turned into a meteorite with a diameter of about ten feet. Only the fuzzy lines that appeared from time to time on the surface showed its extraordinaryness.

"It's done!" Shi Mo, looking at the 'meteorite'-like 'satellite' in front of him, showed a happy expression on his face. He brought it directly to the peach mother tree on the top of Babao Peak, and then input mana to activate it, and also attracted the power of the earth veins and the power of the earth fire. Like a volcanic eruption, a beam of energy light has sent it to the sky.

Boom. At the same time, an active volcano near Jiuding Tiecha Mountain erupted, and magma shot up to a height of dozens of meters. The violent and hot breath filled the air, which effectively blocked the energy fluctuations emitted by the "satellite" on the top of Babao Peak.

However, even though Shi Mo sent this special "satellite" to a very high altitude in one go, it still took it two or three months to fly to the Nine Heavens Gale Layer.

After all, if you want to avoid attracting attention, you can't absorb energy and accelerate at will, and you have to try your best to disguise yourself as a meteorite.

Fortunately, the 'satellite' was made from fragments of Shi Mo's body and was specially refined. Finally, after a few days of difficult and strenuous work, it successfully flew through the Nine Heavens Gale Layer.

Next, Shi Mo became more cautious. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the cave, concentrating all his attention on sensing the "satellite", controlling it to move forward carefully, avoiding any slightly stronger breath fluctuations, and finally quietly moving towards the vast starry sky.

As the satellite continued its observations, Shi Mo gradually discovered that the so-called thirty-three heavens were merely divided by different cloud layers, with no significant obstructions between them, and thus posed no obstacle to Shi Mo's satellite. At the same time, Shi Mo also discovered that the Heavenly Palace was truly vast. After all, the thirty-three heavens were vast!
The demon tribe today is indeed not numerous and powerful, nor do they have many strong ones, and they are not able to occupy every corner of the heaven.

Otherwise, if a meteorite flies in the sky, even if it is slow, it is impossible to go completely unnoticed for a long time.

Fortunately, there was no danger. After a few years, the meteorite "satellite" finally flew over the thirty-three heavens and entered the vast and dark starry sky.

"Wow! So beautiful!" Although Shi Mo had also seen the ancient starry sky at Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, it was still very different to watch it from a 'satellite' perspective.

At least, those stars appear bigger and brighter, and the power of the stars in the vast starry sky is also more intense.

"The power of the stars is indeed pure yin energy." Shi Mo, who used the internal formation of the 'satellite' to absorb and transform the starlight energy, felt the pure and cool energy, and Shi Mo couldn't help but feel certain in his heart.

Then, Shi Mo controlled the "satellite" and headed towards the depths of the ancient starry sky with confidence.

"Three hundred and sixty-five stars in the celestial sphere? There should be more than that, right?" First, Shi Mo used the 'satellite' to observe the number and position of the stars in the ancient sky.

After slowly figuring out the arrangement of the stars in the sky, Shi Mo carefully felt the fluctuations of the power of the stars in the ancient starry sky. Contained in it was the mysterious movement of the energy of the stars in the sky that seemed to have remained motionless for thousands of years.

The invisible starlight energy also formed a special trajectory, just like the network of veins in the earth, and the starlight drew mysterious arcs in the starry sky.
These mysteries can never be understood unless you experience them personally.

In fact, all the paths in the ancient world are interconnected. Once you understand the mystery of the earth's vein network, and then try to figure out the trajectory of the stars, you will have a clue and a way to follow.

Time passed quietly. On the top of Babao Peak, Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, Shi Mo sat cross-legged under the Pantao Mother Tree, looking up at the starry sky. He verified the observations of the stars in the sky through the "satellite" and explored the most essential laws of their operation.

Before they knew it, twenty or thirty thousand years had passed. Deep in the vast starry sky, the 'satellites' observing the celestial stars also noticed some of the meteorites that had been tempered by starlight.

Slowly, Shi Mo realized that their distribution was the nodes of the star energy trajectory.
To put it another way, if the Zhoutian stars formed a huge and complex formation, then the locations of those meteorites in the Zhoutian star formation that Di Jun comprehended should be the locations of the Zhoutian star formation flags.

After finding the location of the flags and understanding the rules and paths of the operation of the star power, Shi Mo also understood the essence of the Zhoutian Star Array.

So, he began to control the 'satellite' which was equivalent to his clone, pondered the imprint patterns on those meteorites, and began to try to set up an array.

Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye during this attempt. As Shi Mo imprinted mysterious patterns on 365 meteorites that had been tempered by starlight, and finally activated those patterns, the meteorites suddenly lit up like lamps.
