Chapter 174: Dyson Sphere Plant Membrane Photosynthesis Technology

Afterwards, at Lin Ran's strong request, Zhang Jie and Lin Ran played here for another three days before returning to the Alliance once more; life got back on track, and Lin Ran also began her daily work of cleaning up natural disasters.

During that period, Yu Xiaomo kept trying to visit the Alliance in the name of Galaxy Dream Company, but Lin Ran refused each time.

Now Lin Ran is extremely vigilant; both Weiniya and Yu Xiaomo are tightly guarded against by her, and she doesn't even see Zhang Jie's face all day.

This made the seventy-year-old loli Yu Xiaomo very anxious; among the three of them, she is the weakest in competitiveness, strength strength cannot compare, height height cannot compare, and even age cannot compare!

Zhang Jie could already imagine the little ghost loli's frantic foot‑jumping appearance; after all, from her habit of sending him harassing messages every day, it's evident.

But.... Zhang Jie has no way!

Although he himself loves eating melons his whole life, he doesn't want to eat the melons on his own body!

As for Weiniya's side, aside from occasionally sending Zhang Jie some weird and strange technology, the rest of the time she just awkwardly chats with Zhang Jie, and Zhang Jie doesn't even know what this girl is busy with all day.

Hearing from her advisors, Weiniya seems to want to expand her own power.

But lately Zhang Jie hears that she seems to be busy making money....

Moreover, the Alliance's research on the martial arts side has already approached the third stage, and research on qi and blood has become even more thorough.

The group of brothers in charge of research at the Alliance are themselves a bunch of extremely crazy people; back then, seeing martial arts, they couldn't even move along the Dao.

Finally, after this group of brothers worked nonstop for three whole months, the fusion of martial arts and the gene side finally showed its first signs.

Of course, the Alliance's biological warships naturally trained as well, since martial arts and the gene side are both shaped based on carbon‑based bodies, sharing a wonderful similarity; such rapid progress was also foreseeable by Zhang Jie.

However....

Why do these brothers keep staring at those ships?!

Zhang Jie still can't figure out how a ship cultivates martial arts, and even the fastest among them now feels the qi and blood turning golden.

You know, Zhang Jie himself hasn't even reached the golden qi and blood realm yet!

Besides that, Zhang Jie also proposed to Lin Ran the construction of a second Alliance giant ship, since apart from Lin Ran, the Alliance still has many fleets fighting abroad, but aside from the Expedition, the rest are merely small fleets.

The Alliance giant ship counts as the Alliance's home base, while the Expedition is similar to a mother ship of natural disasters, a harbor that resupplies the Alliance's main forces, and its size is about that of a satellite.

Zhang Jie's meaning is that we can start expanding the army.

In Zhang Jie's conception, each fleet fighting natural disasters abroad should have an existence like the Expedition, and then giant ships like the Alliance currently has should number three to be secure.

"I understand what you're saying...."

"But... the Alliance giant ship's daily consumption of organic fuel is already an astronomical figure. If we increase it further, the burden would be too great."

Lin Ran looked at Zhang Jie with some difficulty and said, after all, it's actually just an energy problem.

Nuclear fusion here is already outdated; antimatter engines are mainstream.

But... antimatter engines cannot be fully utilized by the Alliance.

They need something that can be used by living beings—a biological version of an 'antimatter reactor'.

But the Alliance doesn't have this technology, and it already belongs to the level of top‑tier interstellar tech.

Although the gene side's top civilizations aren't nonexistent, as Lin Ran said, they're basically just slacking off and are even unwilling to sell their technology.

"I have a solution."

Zhang Jie smiled confidently and directly placed a small storage unit on the table.

Dyson Sphere Plant Membrane Photosynthesis Technology

It's something from the simulation mall, priced at ten thousand simulation points! This is also something Zhang Jie agonized over for a long time before buying.

Lin Ran suspiciously picked up the storage unit and began reading it on the device beside her...

After a while, Lin Ran looked at Zhang Jie with utter shock.

"This thing!"

"Where did you get this from!"

A Dyson sphere, you know, most civilizations are aware of it: wrapping something similar to solar panels around an entire star yields a huge amount of energy.

It sounds simple, right? But the number of civilizations in the universe that can actually succeed in building one is very small.

Wanting to build this can be said to be extremely difficult, difficult as reaching the heavens.

First, you need a star of your own, and it must be extremely safe, guaranteeing it won't be disturbed by various natural disasters and won't be targeted by hostile forces—a 'hinterland'.

Second is material; to carry out such a massive project requires an unimaginable demand for materials—without some money it's absolutely impossible to accomplish.

In short, wanting to build this, unless the civilization itself is already very powerful, other civilizations simply wouldn't even dare to think about it.

In a word, those who need it can't build it, and those who can build it don't need it...

Don't look at Lin Ran chasing natural disasters in gauze every day, but the number of civilizations in the whole universe capable of doing this is only about ninety plus; many more civilizations are stuck in the mire of natural disasters and can't extricate themselves.

But what Lin Ran currently lacks is exactly this!

But the reason she doesn't build it is still that saying: it's too much of a loss.

Since the energy produced by a Dyson sphere cannot be directly used by them, they still need to go through various roundabout processes before finally being able to sell it.

For the Alliance as a whole, the returns gained from expending that effort are far less than the tax revenue they get from guarding trade routes and such, so they simply gave up.

But Zhang Jie's version, however, is a biological Dyson sphere modeled after the blood disaster nest.

Its interior differs from a regular Dyson sphere; it is more like a plant‑membrane substance that can directly produce high‑energy organic power usable by living beings!

The most suitable technology for the Alliance's babies' physiques!

Lin Ran looked at this technology before her, capable of changing the entire Alliance, yet she couldn't get excited at all.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang Jie, these mysterious mysterious things...."

"What were they exchanged for?"

Zhang Jie's smile froze, and involuntarily his mind conjured the scene of his simulated work‑to‑death...

"This...."

"Is it because you awakened your past‑life memories!"

Lin Ran suddenly moved close to Zhang Jie, her eyes tightly fixed on his face, able to detect even the slightest trace.

Sure enough, Zhang Jie slightly widened his eyes, and Lin Ran precisely caught it.

"I knew it!"

Lin Ran suddenly raised her voice, startling Zhang Jie.

"Every time you awaken your past-life memories, you bring along some weird stuff!"

"I thought that martial art was just something you knew from your past life!"

"But this time, whatever this Dyson sphere is, it clearly has nothing to do with that Yu Xiaomo!"

"If that's the case, I'd rather not have these!"

(All you godfathers! This simulation of Agreement Three will launch soon! This time, I, Shen, am very confident! I've even written the outline! It won't capsize! All you godfathers, just wait and see! Take a look and don't say a word!)

(Besides, this book being able to continue to now is all thanks to your support, godfathers; thank you again, godfathers!)

(Also, here's a dark joke for you: why wasn't Ne Zha 2 shown in that little book? (hilarious))
