Chapter 491

He has started to be affected, right?

Yes, Nest Master, this genius of the new era has already been researching matters related to the blood disaster.

Moreover, the Star Sea Commander of the Iron Law Star Alliance, as planned, did not respond to the purification plan.

Good, then we'll wait for the good news.

All of this took place within the Gene Star Alliance; their schemes, unknown to anyone....

The future-anchoring computer's progress has now been preliminarily completed; it can precisely control the collapsed state of some objects, for example, the gacha segment of some interstellar online games.

But the energy required to anchor the future is an astronomical figure; just doing this experiment once has already consumed nearly the amount of money needed to purchase a Ship Life.

You need to find a high-energy environment....

Besides that, after such a long time, Qiong, who hadn't been seen in a while, finally returned.

I'm back....

Isn't this an old grandma Ship Girl, have you played enough?

Sorry....

Qiong seems to have gone through a lot; wounds cover her body, her clothes are torn and ragged, as if she had been wandering outside.

If it weren't for the license Zhang Jie got for her, she wouldn't even be able to see Zhang Jie's face.

How is Xiao Jiu doing?

Not good enough, well, here it is.

Qiong, you're back!

Big-sized Xiao Jiu scooped up Qiong in one hug, her expression going from dazed to shocked.

Xiao Jiu, you.... have upgraded to a large ship?

Yes, yes!

Human, when did Qiong come back?

Just now.

Qiong, who hadn't been seen in a while, has returned; now Xiao Jiu has someone to keep her company, and she looks quite happy.

But Xiao Jiu seems utterly unaware, Zhang Jie's reply is somewhat cold, and even Zhang Jie himself hasn't noticed it.

The research on the blood disaster is going very smoothly; Zhang Jie's analysis and understanding of this natural disaster are gradually increasing, no wonder it's said to be the main force of the disaster frontline—its invasiveness and reproductive power can practically be ranked alongside the Insect Disaster.

So this shows that wanting to eradicate the blood disaster is nearly impossible, unless we directly blow up the universe and restart it.

At that moment, the body that was researching together with Yuan sent back feedback.

Yuan: 'Little thing, I should have a solution.'

Previously, due to the supercomputer's insufficient energy, they had no choice but to temporarily shelve this project; the solution, well, was left for Yuan to think of.

The black hole's accretion disk, this accretion disk that can make matter rub wildly, can provide extremely terrifying energy, enough to power the computer's use!

Um, Professor, how can we ensure the computer isn't pulverized by the accretion disk?

Besides, wouldn't using a Dyson sphere solve it?

The particles to be anchored are vast in number; the greater the future impact of an object, the more energy required.

If you wanted to anchor an unimportant person—what they would do at some time, some moment, some year, some month—the energy consumed would be that of a Dyson sphere around an O-type star for one interstellar year.

Zhang Jie:???

So that's how much it is?

Otherwise?

O-type stars represent newborn stars, the hottest period in a star's life; in most cases they are purple or blue.

And the Dyson spheres built on these stars would absorb extremely terrifying energy, yet this still would not satisfy the computer's consumption.

So then, a new topic has arisen.

Research how to keep matter from being torn apart in a black hole.

The new topic has indeed emerged; you have poured all your thoughts into research, leaving only one body to run an interstellar junkyard, while all your other bodies are devoted to research.

"You humans live such exhausting lives, I'm going offline." The Nightmare, worn out by your lifestyle, went offline, and you also rarely have time to keep Xiao Jiu company.

"Do humans have time today?"

"Go play, Xiao Jiu, I'm still busy."

"Have you eaten something good, human? I brought it especially for you!"

"Mm, it's delicious; I'm busy with Xiao Jiu, go play."

"What about today, today, human!"

"Busy...."

Even with quadruple the body size, one cannot spare time to look after Xiao Jiu; sometimes even a whole week goes by without being able to make time, which is a devastating blow for a Ship Girl who likes to cling.

But the sensible Xiao Jiu didn't say it out loud; she could only comfort herself, telling herself it's because you're too busy that you have no time to keep her company.

Research has become increasingly crazy; you, who usually spoke with some humor, are now becoming ever more cold, and it's unclear how long this has lasted.

Only after you succeeded in researching the blood disaster's erosion counter-technology did you suddenly realize that Xiao Jiu seems to have not come to see you for a long time.

Looking at the chat box showing from half a month ago, Zhang Jie finally realized, after a long time, that he hadn't actively spoken to Xiao Jiu in a while.

Including the human female, the last time was still a month ago when she said it.

Tsk, your brain is really ridiculous....

Zhang Jie hammered his own head hard; this blow directly woke the Nightmare that was offline.

'What are you doing, moving around like that?'

'Holy shit! Zhang Jie, what the ** did you do!'

The Nightmare suddenly let out a sharp explosive roar, shaking Zhang Jie's brains until they ached.

"You're called chicken feather!"

"Zhang Jie! What's wrong with your brain? How did you change so much!"

"Zhang Jie:?"

"What are you talking about, I didn't do anything."

"Besides, how do you know if my brain has changed or not?"

"Nonsense, I wander around in your brain every day, I know every fold in your brain!"

"Zhang Jie's forehead appeared a well‑character, what do you mean you know all the folds in my brain? How come it feels so weird, you idiot!"

"Don't talk as if you've touched every inch of my body!"

"Eh, it's changed back a bit!"

"Zhang Jie, seriously, your brain really has a problem."

"Its neural sequence.... seems to have been affected, become different."

"My suggestion is, you'd better go get checked; don't you feel that you've become different?"

"Zhang Jie pondered for a moment, realized indeed, he indeed had become somewhat.... different."

"Researchers had secretly discussed him, saying he had recently become very unsociable, which is indeed true; he is no longer humorous, he is much stricter than before."

"I will go get checked."

"Zhang Jie sent a message to Xiao Jiu and the human female, he wants to accompany his mother for a while, that clingy little Small Ship Girl."

"Recently it's his day off, he cannot, because of research, distance himself from those who love him and whom he loves."

"Don't worry, I'll help you watch over things; I won't be offline lately, be careful."

"I know."
