Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Yan Jinzhi held his mother's hand and the two men reached the top observatory of the giant immigrant starship, Vision 24, through the lifting platform.

Here, Xu Yulan finally breathed his first breath of fresh air in hundreds of years.

Despite the fact that the air composition of Skeletal Dragon Star is different from the standard atmosphere, more damp and intensely sweet, Xu Yulan can't help breathing until his lungs are in a hidden pain and his eyes are green.

Living on a starship for a long time, breathing synthetic standard air, and coming into contact with fresh air filled with all kinds of impurities, is what many call "drunken oxygen”.

“Look, Mom! ”

Yan Jinzhi pointed to the great river mountain with its magnificent waves and cheered the freckle leap.

Xu Yulan was frozen for centuries, unable to adapt to intense natural light for a while, she squinted her eyes, put a cold shed on her eyebrows with her hands, and looked at it with great vision. The vast majority of immigrant ships, from "Vision 7” to "Vision 33”, were scattered in a hilly area not far from the sea.

The pale blue earth is full of wrinkles, suddenly tens of thousands of meters of mountain peaks, suddenly thousands of meters of deep rift valley, compared to this “hill” where they are situated, can be considered a hill of Pingchuan Ma.

The far red sea, the raging waves, was the most intense she had ever seen in her life. The waves rushed hundreds of meters into the sky without moving, like the dragon dance of countless claws, even under the stacked anti-ripple barrier, they could still clearly reach within dozens of miles of the coastline, threatening to submerge their hills.

Yet, above such a magnificent and uncertain sea, there are still countless strangely shaped artifacts, as if putting together countless wind sails and turning them into strange boats, between hundreds of meters of high waves, by wind breaking waves, chasing clouds and electricity, vertical and horizontal, to show the determination of mankind to overcome the heavens and the earth.

Xu Yulan's gaze continued to extend until beyond the distant horizon, a giant planet appeared contoured in the gray sky.

The silhouette sparkles like a clear jade ring.

At first, Xu Yulan thought it was an eclipse.

But if it's an eclipse, the light around it is too bright.

And not long later, the halo actually trembled slightly, splitting out of it countless tiny filaments, all deflecting in one direction.

These filaments, like the magical forces that drive the depths of the ocean, surge faster and more intensely as the filaments fluctuate.

Xu Yulan even saw a giant wave at least thousands of meters high rolling deep into the sea, and the wave was filled with flames and smoke, so he had to break through the atmosphere and fly all the way to the star sea.

This magnificent scenario made Xu Yulan stare and couldn't speak for half a day.

“Mom, don't be afraid, it's the Dragon Star we're working on! ”

She was holding her daughter's hand tightly, always trying to drag her behind herself to protect her, but now she is holding her arm and warming her cold fingers with a warm palm.

Daughter laughed, "The Skeleton Dragon Star is anything but a satellite that is too close to it and has a very strange orbit, the tidal force between the satellite and the Skeleton Dragon Star, not only makes the ocean here particularly violent, the horror waves invade hundreds of kilometers inland, even after a long time, the satellite will fall directly and heavily bombard the surface of the Skeleton Dragon Star.

“It is precisely because of these two factors that the Federation of Stars and Glows has not developed a large-scale skeletal dragon star for more than a hundred years.

“But now that this is our new home, of course, there will be a massive transformation, first of all to deal with the problem of tides and satellite falls, and then to level those mountains and valleys, the Federation is determined to fine-tune the orbit of the satellite and push the 'moon' a little further. ”

Xu Yulan glanced at his glasses and spoke out: “Push away the 'moon’? ”

“Yeah, the Starlight Federation has never tried such a feat either, and they didn't have the technical reserves to do so in the past. ”

Yan Jinzhi Dao, "However, with the technology of the Black Wind Fleet, the technology of the Kunlun Ruins, the technology of the Firefly, and the technology of the Federation itself, there may be a chance of success!

“Of course, it's still at the technology validation and data collection stage, far from really ‘pushing the moon off', see those freaky ships that float between the shock waves and seem to be filled with wind sails, that is, collecting tidal data and preparing ahead for the next phase of 'pushing the age’!

“Five, ten, twenty years… I think, at most, when I grow up to be a mother, we will push the moon away, tame the sea, cut off the mountains to fill the deep valley, build the skeletal dragon star into a distant star, a real land of joy, right? ”

The daughter's serious expression touched Xu Yulan's deep memories.

It was as if she remembered when she had just arrived in a deserted castle of Cuigu with an old man and a young man, filled with hope and pride.

It was the happiest, happiest, most energetic golden years of her life.

Xu Yulan ignored the “Firefly" mentioned by his daughter, but his nose was a little sour. After this long journey, his daughter seemed to really grow up...

Under the guidance of Yan Jinzhi, Xu Yulan's gaze turned to the mountain peaks that were soaring into the clouds. She saw countless towers standing on the top of the mountain. Each tower was constantly spraying misty white fog, hidden next to the landing point of their starship, and a white cloak barrier was constructed.

Her daughter told her that it was a big battle to transform the atmosphere and purify the air.

After all, Skeletal Dragon Star was a demonic nest tens of thousands of years ago. The air contains too much impurities to allow ordinary people to breathe for long periods of time, leading to a variety of chronic diseases. In the old saying, this is a "smoky place”.

Fortunately, the Federation has accumulated a wealth of experience in planetary modification over the past 100 years, at least in small areas to establish protected areas, purify air in small areas, and even produce a certain range of "small climates” with smooth winds and rains, which are quite mature technologies.

And the propagation technology of the Real Human Empire, more predominantly over the Federation, like Xu Yulan's supermassive immigration boat, the "Vision” series, is itself an all-encompassing, self-sufficient town and factory, at least for the early years of construction, they did not have to go outside to pave fragile settlements.

Now all of the "Vision” series of immigrant ships have stretched out hundreds of spider-like fixed limbs, penetrating deep into the gully between the hills and firmly anchoring themselves.

On this basis, the sturdy enclosure of the immigration vessel is dismantled in pieces, revealing a wide variety of complex and luminous factories and facilities, either situated directly next to the immigration vessel or dragged to a slightly further development.

Defensive charm arrays, air purification towers, water purification plants, metal collection and smelting plants… Every immigrant ship, at visible speeds, is turning into a small, tiny, dirty town of sparrows.

Even if Xu Yulan is self-evident and knowledgeable, she has never seen so many starships become small towns at the same time. This kind of change of place, reversal of nature's pride and ambition deeply shook her heart, making her feel unknown... touched!

Suddenly, Xu Yulan's eyes pulled away from the dazzling construction scene and fell on a giant fold surrounding the hills like a dam in the distance.

This circular fold, like the walls built by the giants, seals the hills tightly inside, dampening their next outward expansion and development.

So it's necessary to destroy it!

On a steep slope of nearly ninety degrees of annular wrinkles, different areas are divided, and many giant spider-like octopus mechanical treasures are moving fast above them, occasionally with their tentacles of drill bits, drilling a hole deep on the slope.

Xu Yulan knows that this eight-footed mechanical treasure, commonly referred to as "cracked crab", is an engineering treasure specifically designed to burst abandoned buildings and steep mountain rock. Eight flexible limbs allow them to secure themselves in a variety of harsh environments and keep them moving at high speeds, while the tentacle end drill bit can drill an exact burst hole to deliver crystal bombs to the most vulnerable areas.

Xu Yulan is also a good master of "broken mountain crab”, so you can see how powerful the pioneering hand with red broken mountain crab is.

He moves and digs blast holes more than five times faster than anyone else. He just finished digging a dozen blast holes. He embedded hundreds of crystal bombs on the front mountain, weighing more than seventy tons of broken crabs like his limbs, moving clouds and running water, which is impressive.

The distance is too far away. Xu Yulan can't see how he hit the blasting hole, but from the mercury lagoon, the furnace fire is pure and green, it must be right.

Indeed, “Boom Boom" made a loud noise, it didn't raise too much smoke, a large mountain rock collapsed silently, but didn't have much effect on the broken crab that was being operated next to it.

“What a master! ”

Blasting is also an art, and it is an extremely deep study of how to use the smallest amount of crystal to blow a target to pieces under the smallest range of waves and subsequent cleanup difficulty.

Xu Yulan secretly saw the red broken crab drill out of the smoke, the “crab cover” behind him lifted, a guy in a red vest climbed out and danced, laughing and accepting the builders cheer and praise.

She secretly sighed, but her palms were itchy. I wondered if she had been infected by the hot construction scene, and I was able to make a comparison with that person.

“Daughter...”

Xu Yulan wiped his hands. “The man who rides the red crab is amazing. Do you know who he is? ”

Yan Jinzhi's expression became very strange, and he thought about it for half a day or didn't know how to explain it: “Uh, Mom, don't be surprised, that's the new 'King of the Black Wind’, his name is Li Yao! ”
