Chapter 412: Planetary Titan

Dawn City, north of Qingbo, the mighty convoy of survivor armies marched along the land and railway tracks toward the direction of Jinhe and Tianji.

Under the sun, the convoy of millions of people was earth-shattering, raising smoke and dust as they moved, flowing slowly and orderly toward the horizon. This was not a rout, but a well-prepared migration.

Various vehicles were packed with people. The truck beds tied with materials were stuffed with folding tents, water buckets, solar panels, and other materials. The cab was crowded with a family of four. The man driving the car had bandages on his body, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and holding half a cigarette with the other. The cigarette ash drifted in the wind like tiny snowflakes.

A hanging basket modified from iron sheets and old clothes was hung behind a modified off-road vehicle. A golden retriever lay vigilantly inside, its tongue hanging out, long accustomed to rushing on the road in the smoke and dust, watching the various strange modified vehicles in the traffic flow.

Some large trucks modified with all-terrain tracks roared all the way, crushing the ground with layers of track marks. Along the way, supply vehicles with Phoenix Society holographic lights and drones marched with the team, which could be directly contacted by sub-frequency communication to the staff above to obtain medical or emergency assistance. All blood essence obtained could be exchanged for brand-new blood essence coins at the Phoenix Society here, or stored in special identification cards for material purchasing or trading.

The 83rd Iron Guard Brigade, which had undergone fierce battles, pulled out a marching line of several kilometers in a mechanized marching mode at the very rear of the convoy. In the sky, the low-flying fleet and the Zhen Tian ship slowly flew over the convoy, obscuring the sun and casting large shadows.

In a special medical cabin, Seeing Chu Yan slowly opened her eyes. What entered her eyes was a low-brightness light, and then multiple medical tubes connected to her head and chest. The medical equipment beside the hospital bed emitted a low heart rate pulsation sound.

After being in a coma for ten days in a near-death state, Seeing Chu Yan finally woke up. This time it was her turn to appear in Lin Xian's consciousness, but this was also a matter of the last few days. However, it was also from Lin Xian that she learned this point, and people like Xu Zhenyue and Ye Lan could finally rest assured.

After waking up, as Lin Xian said, Seeing Chu Yan found that there had been no small changes around her. She did not see her previous mission team, but was replaced by a Nightwalker team used to protect her safety.

"Seeing Chu Yan."

In the office, Ye Lan, with gray hair, was focusing on checking several documents with reading glasses and said to Seeing Chu Yan who came to the office, "Welcome back to the team."

"Do I not need to carry out missions now?" Seeing Chu Yan asked.

Ye Lan shook her head, "After conquering the dark energy conversion technology, all elites in our Nightwalker department can carry out Star Abyss exploration missions. Although there is still a lot of unknown, and there are some technical problems related to communication and cold dark particles, the overall survival rate has been greatly improved."

She said, putting down the documents, and looked at Seeing Chu Yan, "You and Lin Xian are the only two people in the Blue Star who can contact the South Tianmen. Before breaking through the dark energy nuclear fusion combination technology, this defense platform is our important weapon, and even..."

"I also told Lin Xian that unless it is a last resort, I hope he will not easily use the attack of the South Tianmen."

Seeing Chu Yan took a deep breath, "I know, the Corpse-Carrier consumed a lot of the Gray Mist Envoy and the entire army, plus the synchronization tower limited its recovery of dark energy, so the South Tianmen found the opportunity for a one-hit kill."

Ye Lan nodded, "Lin Xian is a very smart person, and he also knows this point. Currently, humans' most destructive weapons, besides biochemistry, are only thermal nuclear and high-energy constraints. But the Kadel operation tells us that even a thermal nuclear weapon with a TNT equivalent of 60 million tons cannot destroy the overlord creatures in the Star Abyss. This may not just be a weapon problem."

Seeing Chu Yan remained silent when she heard this. Ye Lan's words and Lin Xian's thoughts were the same, both wanting to break through the current human technology to respond. This is of course feasible, but in Seeing Chu Yan's view, if it were not for the possibility of the growth of Lin Xian's mechanical ability, it is hard to imagine that humans could break through the shackles of physics in a short time.

Ye Lan seemed to see Seeing Chu Yan's doubts and said directly, "I know the problem you are worried about, Seeing Chu Yan. Your idea is correct. The Emperor Project is the limit of our current technology in a short time. However, the research on the flesh colonial of the Deep Red World this time has also given us great inspiration, and also includes problems such as the energy potential well in the Star Abyss and the special defensive force field of dark creatures. These problems are also the main directions we are currently learning and conquering..."

Seeing Chu Yan said, "Are we going to study the abilities of Star Abyss creatures?"

"Not only that." Ye Lan took off her glasses and wiped them, "S-class, Corpse-Carrier, Abyss Demon, and the 1-7 world-class disasters currently discovered, we must start preparing to study these existences, such as the 01 giant crustal parasitic creature 【Planet Devourer】 in the No. 1 Star Abyss in Siberia, and the 03 we tracked and investigated from Jiang City before..."

"Floating Giant Corpse."

Seeing Chu Yan frowned slightly, "Since we discovered that Floating Giant Corpse, we have never found any biological fluctuations and any signs of waking up on it. This thing has been flying eastward, at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, and there are huge amounts of dark invasion radiation and chaotic space force fields around it. Even the most elite ability users find it difficult to get close to investigate."

"So I sent the Nightwalker 2nd Department to fully intervene in the investigation of the Floating Giant Corpse. The No. 1 creature and the No. 3 creature are existences that have not shown aggression for the time being, except for dark invasion, and..."

Ye Lan said, looking at Seeing Chu Yan, "Our forward observation team has discovered that the Floating Giant Corpse arrived over Longjiang three days ago. According to the speed, it will pass through Dawn City within two weeks at the fastest. This is not a small hidden danger for us."

Seeing Chu Yan said immediately when she heard this, "Teacher Ye, can my team join this investigation plan?"

"No."

Ye Lan refused directly, "Lin Xian should have told you that he is now heading to the polar region through the ocean orbit. We must ensure your safety. So General Xu and I discussed it. You will not carry out any field work for the time being, and your body has experienced this crisis, and there are not small sequelae. You need time to recuperate."

Seeing Chu Yan wanted to say something, but saw Ye Lan's calm face that could not be questioned, so she could only nod.

"Okay, I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Yongcheng Port, Ring Star Orbit Ocean Shore-based Connection Port. This once huge sea orbit port is now desolate. Zombies can be seen standing everywhere in the loading area and the port, occasionally hearing some wind noise that will cause a few howls.

The crimson sunset is like a piece of charcoal that is about to go out, burning the high clouds in the sky red on the sea level.

The Infinite stopped quietly on a loading platform near the coastline. Outside the window is the sparkling Pacific coastline at dusk. Other cargo train wreckage and sea traction platforms parked on the device platform have been abandoned. The iron sheets of those trains have been peeled off by the sea breeze, leaving mottled scars, like stranded giant beast skeletons. The huge ocean orbit is supported by giant pillars of the ocean ridge, extending from the port to the depths of the sea.

On the port wharf, containers are stacked crookedly, the paint is peeling off, revealing the goods that have long rotted inside. A few zombies are wandering slowly in the shadows, their footsteps dragging, occasionally hitting a overturned forklift, and the sound of metal collision is particularly harsh in the silence.

【The second investigation of the ground and low-altitude areas is completed, and no high-threat creatures and other human existences have been found.】

Viola controlled several action mechs and aerial drones to travel and search everywhere in the port. Chen Sixuan had already prepared the train for the night with Ning Jing and others. In Carriage No. 2, Shasha looked at the endless Pacific Ocean outside the window, her eyes shining with light, and said,

"This is my first time taking a train into the ocean orbit section. It looks so scary. How did the Ring Star Orbit build these in the deep sea?"

"You asked the right person for this." Kiki sat on the swivel chair with her legs on the table, her fingers flexibly turning a black pen and said to Shasha, "Do you know the original design concept of the Ring Star Orbit?"

Shasha shook her head.

Kiki raised a finger in the air and drew a spiral, and then kept increasing the spiral.

"Simply put, it is to build a channel along the equator that can circle the entire Blue Star and head to the near-earth orbit in a way of increasing momentum. You can imagine it as a spiral line of a yo-yo. The ultimate goal is the planetary ring, a permanent aerial orbit that can directly carry out earth-moon industrial transportation through a tractor."

"Ah? Then why not directly use a space elevator or aircraft for transportation?" Shasha asked.

"You don't understand, that's called a century plan."

Kiki smiled slightly, "Have you heard of the Dyson Sphere Project?"

Shasha nodded, "I've heard of it, building a giant artificial structure to wrap the entire star to obtain sustainable energy?" ===== CHAPTER 413 =====
