Chapter 1305: Main Direction of Food Production on Blue Star
February 27, 2024
Su Yu is currently touring the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild, accompanied by Prime Minister Cao and Yun Zhongmu. The other high-ranking Blue Star powerhouses are also following closely behind.
During the tour, Su Yu shared his vision with everyone.
Upon learning that Su Yu intended to transform Blue Star into a massive food factory, all present expressed their support.
Chika Fujiwara was the first to speak, "Cultivating food is a great idea. Blue Star needs a clear direction. Moreover, the population at the Feige Hub has increased by nearly 2%, and the food production facilities in Luna have been heavily damaged. Both hubs are facing a severe food shortage, so now is the perfect time to enter the market."
Yun Zhongmu added, "Everything should revolve around your growth. As long as your strength increases rapidly, I support whatever you decide, whether it's growing food or anything else!"
Prime Minister Cao chuckled, "None of us have any experience in food production or agriculture. We'd have to start from scratch. But it's not a problem; we have plenty of time to learn."
Morning Star, the cat, expressed her concerns, "Transforming Blue Star into a food factory is fine, but the problem is that the Saint Silver people's food crops are not native to Blue Star. If we plant them extensively, it could severely disrupt Blue Star's ecosystem."
"Aijie" agreed, "When we used the 'Eternal Spring' to create new plant varieties, we considered introducing our world's evolved plant species to Blue Star. However, we abandoned the plan because it could potentially harm Blue Star's environment. The same issue applies now. Introducing large numbers of alien plants could drastically alter Blue Star's ecosystem."
Listening to everyone's opinions, Su Yu nodded slightly as he walked. "Yes, that is indeed a problem. If Blue Star's ecosystem is drastically changed due to alien plant invasions, it would be unacceptable."
Then he shifted the topic. "But don't we have Blue Whale for this? Blue Whale, what do you think?"
"Administrator Su Yu," a pale blue Aurora appeared beside Su Yu, and within it was a mini Blue Whale, the symbol of the AI's presence.
Blue Whale responded, "Planting large numbers of alien crops will indeed disrupt Blue Star's native ecosystem. Take the Saint Silver people as an example. Their main food sources are 17 types of crops, including Magic Fruit, Sunset Blaze, Zephyr Fruit, and 32 types of animal meat, along with other foods.
"Of these 17 crops, most have evolved over millions of years, with some even developing a basic form of intelligence. In contrast, Blue Star's human history spans only a few thousand years.
"Over these millions of years, some crops have developed a basic form of intelligence, far surpassing Blue Star's native plants. If we introduce these intelligent crops in large numbers, even a small mistake could lead to an ecological disaster on Blue Star.
"Alien species would aggressively compete for space and resources, effectively decimating Blue Star's native plants.
"Administrator Su Yu, you want to maximize the use of every suitable piece of land for food production to enhance your strength. However, if we continue with this model, Blue Star's native species could be completely wiped out within a few years, except for the humans."
"Is it that serious?"
Su Yu stood still, his brow furrowing slightly.
Although he desperately needed to enhance his strength, he couldn't accept the complete destruction of Earth's ecosystem as a price.
Imagine if the future Earth became a planet entirely covered by alien plants—humans wouldn't be happy about that.
It's like returning to your childhood hometown after growing up, only to find it drastically changed, far from the memories you hold. You might accept it rationally, but emotionally, it's a different story.
But how could he solve this problem?
"Blue Whale, if I want to produce as much food as possible without severely damaging Earth's ecosystem, what should I do?" Su Yu asked.
AI Blue Whale quickly replied, "That's relatively easy. You can minimize or avoid planting crops on Earth altogether and build all the farming facilities on Mars instead.
We can also learn from the Hub Planet and construct large space cities. Many cities in the Fig Hub, especially those in the inner ring closer to the star, are primarily focused on food production. You can refer to the data for more details..."
As AI Blue Whale finished speaking, a pale blue virtual panel appeared in front of Su Yu, displaying information about space cities dedicated to food production.
The habitable zone of the Fig Hub's star system is very wide, extending from the innermost to the outermost point, roughly 100 million kilometers in Earth units.
In this vast habitable zone, most of the space cities dedicated to food production are located on the inner side, closer to the star, making it easier for the Dyson Sphere system to transmit stellar energy.
On the outer side of the habitable zone, the cities are mostly focused on heavy industry, psychic weapon production, intelligent storage devices, and communication and data storage.
These cities require energy, but they also need to dissipate a lot of heat.
The inner side of the habitable zone is warmer and less conducive to heat dissipation, while the outer side is cooler, perfectly meeting their needs.
Su Yu quickly scanned through the information provided by AI Blue Whale.
Before he could finish, AI Blue Whale continued, "Administrator Su Yu, you don't need to read through these details too carefully. When you have the time, you can visit these food-producing space cities. Reading the data ten times is no substitute for a real experience."
"Alright..."
Before Su Yu could finish speaking, the virtual panel in front of him vanished, and he received a notification.
Seeing the notification, he felt a jolt of surprise and immediately became serious.
The high-ranking Earthlings around him also received the notification and were generally startled.
The Great One? The Great One is coming? And at this moment?
Half a minute later, a purple aura appeared in front of Su Yu.
The purple aura was semi-circular, like a light, floating veil, emitting a mysterious glow.
Soon, the veil dissipated, revealing a lady in a purple robe standing in its place.
This lady was none other than the strongest seer of the Hub, Lady Ashley!
Lady Ashley's appearance shocked everyone in the building, including Su Yu!
Lady Ashley?
Why has the Great One suddenly come here?
What does she want from General Ke?
Su Yu was the least surprised among everyone.
He led his subordinates in a respectful bow and said, "Lady Ashley, welcome to our guild headquarters. May I ask what brings you here today?"
