Chapter 1271: Bringing Survivors Home
Chapter 1271: Bringing Survivors Home
The massive teleportation array has now ceased operation.
However, on the eastern side of the array, a "hill" over forty meters tall stands firm.
This "hill" is composed of various materials that Su Yu had previously offloaded, totaling a value of 500 billion Spirit Coins! The largest portion of this value comes from over a thousand tons of "Eternal Eyes."
These materials are either rare or extremely rare, with not a single subpar item among them.
All the materials are rich in Spirit Energy, causing the "hill" to exude a constant flow of Spirit Energy. A milky white mist of Spirit Energy envelops the hill.
The "hill" also emits a radiant glow, with the entire structure shining brilliantly. It’s no exaggeration to call it a treasure hill!
These 500 billion worth of materials are enough for Su Yu to construct the "Eternal Spring" and help many people reshape their physical bodies.
Looking at the hill, Su Yu felt an overwhelming sense of passion.
He shouted, "Blue Whale, bring up the blueprints!"
"Sure, Administrator Su Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, a massive 3D transparent model appeared before everyone.
This 3D model shows what the large magical artifact, the "Eternal Spring," will look like when completed.
The entire artifact resembles a large pool, with the pool walls primarily composed of "Eternal Eyes." Inside the pool is a liquid of seven colors—red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—emitting a dazzling and brilliant light.
Above the pool, a colorful mist floats.
Just by looking at this 3D model, it truly feels like a celestial pool!
"Administrator Su Yu, all users," the AI Blue Whale began its introduction. "This is what the 'Eternal Spring' will look like when completed.
In addition to the main body of the spring, an external 'Intelligent Editing System' has been added. This is the most technologically advanced part of the spring, capable of editing the forms of living beings and adjusting various parameters.
However, my current recommendation is to first learn the relevant knowledge.
Once you have mastered the entire process of reshaping bodies, you can start constructing the 'Eternal Spring.' This will minimize the risk of errors and reduce the likelihood of taking unnecessary detours."
"Alright, you handle the arrangements," Su Yu agreed without objection.
It’s better to thoroughly learn the knowledge before starting the construction.
After all, he had previously promised to help Yun Zhong Mudi reshape his body first.
As a Seventh-Stage cultivator, reshaping Yun Zhong Mudi’s body will be much more challenging than for ordinary Third or Fourth-Stage humans.
He doesn’t want to end up with a misshapen figure due to lack of experience or familiarity with the process.
So, it’s best to learn first and then practice.
...
Thus, Su Yu and his companions set up tents beside the "hill," establishing a small camp.
In this camp, everyone began to diligently study everything about reshaping bodies, as well as the methods for constructing the "Eternal Spring" magical artifact, aiming to build it as perfectly as possible.
During the learning process, Su Yu also sent an unmanned spacecraft into space.
He had purchased this spacecraft, the "Koichi 143" model, from Leit Dors for 60 million Holy Silver Coins.
This unmanned spacecraft has an extremely high flight speed, weighs 15 tons, and has relatively low energy consumption. It can travel from Blue Star to the edge of the solar system in just a month.
The purpose of this spacecraft is to search for survivors in space.
When the twin-winged threat of Darak loomed over the entire Blue Star, many powerful individuals fled into space.
Some of them fled relatively close, like Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, who, along with many cultivators, took refuge on Mars.
In addition to Mars, some survivors fled to the Moon to hide.
Those who escaped to nearby locations found it extremely difficult to evade Darak.
According to Darak's later account, almost none of the cultivators who fled to the Moon or Mars managed to escape being devoured. They were all sacrificed in the red mist he released.
These sacrificed cultivators, without the "Void Wasteland" to preserve their souls, were completely eradicated, both in body and spirit.
However, there were exceptions, such as Emperor Liu Che.
Firstly, Emperor Liu Che was very powerful. Secondly, when Darak was sacrificing cultivators on Mars, Liu Che managed to escape a considerable distance before being devoured. As a result, his soul was not entirely consumed, and a fragment of his soul, retaining his memories, remained.
Because of this fragment, Su Yu can help Emperor Liu Che reshape his physical body, ensuring that this legendary emperor does not fade into oblivion.
However, his soul fragment will need a long time to nurture, and it will likely be a long while before he can be fully resurrected.
...
In addition to those who fled nearby, there were also cultivators who escaped to more distant locations.
Due to the immense gravity and harsh surface conditions, cultivators could not inhabit Jupiter and Saturn.
However, beyond Saturn, a group of cultivators fled to Uranus and Neptune, where they hid.
In addition to these two planets, the Kuiper Belt and other asteroid belts also harbored some cultivators.
When Darak flew toward the edge of the solar system, he did not target these distant cultivators, as they were few in number and generally weak, making them of little value to devour.
As a result, these cultivators survived.
However, they were unaware of the situation on Earth and lacked the means to return.
Su Yu launched this unmanned spacecraft to retrieve these surviving cultivators.
Once all the survivors within the solar system are brought back to Earth, the first phase of the spacecraft's mission will be complete.
After the first phase comes the second phase.
In the second phase, the spacecraft will venture beyond the solar system.
According to Darak, the Holy Silver Fleet and the ships of Lin Ke, Zhong Feng, and others had already escaped the solar system and fled to neighboring stars.
These neighboring stars were outside the coverage of the Holy Tong Corporation, so they could not contact the corporation and had to continue their journey through the cold, empty expanse of space.
It is currently unknown whether they plan to return to the solar system.
If they have only temporarily fled and plan to return later, the spacecraft will easily find them.
However, if they have decided to go to other star systems, the pursuit will be more challenging.
Nonetheless, the spacecraft will pursue them regardless of the difficulty.
It will track their departure from the solar system and follow their path.
However, it is uncertain when it will catch up.
It might take years, even decades, to locate them, and only time will tell.
The spacecraft's operating system is not fully automated but is controlled by the AI, Blue Whale, throughout the journey.
It is hoped that the spacecraft will bring back more survivors who are stranded and lead them home.
As for the survivors in the Skrull star system, Su Yu has no intention of searching for them.
Those who fled from the Skrull star system were either Skrull humans or remnants of the Dark Energy Rebel Army.
Earth humans could not launch rockets to that region, so there were no Earth human survivors.
Since there are no Earth survivors, Su Yu is not concerned.
Let the Skrull humans and the remnants of the Dark Energy Rebel Army fend for themselves!
