Once I return home, I will immediately convene a cabinet meeting to approve this and send over a priority shipment of the resources you need most,\" the white woman replied without turning around, then left the area surrounded by several British Commonwealth agents in black suits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen, I must say, your Open Heaven Project passing through the 'Council' system is not without reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you presented at the meeting convinced me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I return, I will transfer to you the personnel you need most from my team, and grant you authority to access half of the team’s resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I still don’t have much faith in the Open Heaven Project’s prospects, I must admit it’s one of the few paths left for humanity under these desperate circumstances—and the experimental data and experience gathered on this Blue Star might also aid the Blue Star Alliance,\" Lei Sa stopped, turned, and spoke to Chen Boshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lei Sa, I know better than anyone how precious the Ark Team’s resources are—I won’t waste a single bit—and I have absolute confidence in the Open Heaven Project,\" Chen Boshi replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, you understand,\" Lei Sa said coolly, then turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, only Chen Boshi and Li Buzhang remained nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor, go ahead and proceed without restraint—the People’s Republic of China fully supports all resources and personnel required for the Open Heaven Project,\" Li Buzhang shook Chen Boshi’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first phase of the Open Heaven Project demands the most resources, but the top priority is that this base is too small—it must be expanded immediately to accommodate everything the project will later require.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, No. 1 has requested we locate a 'yin energy site,' which will require massive manpower and material resources from China. If the Spirit Energy Team’s research and deductions are correct, this may well be the breakthrough point in our study of artificial spirit veins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we truly cannot find one, we’ll have to consider building a subsidiary base in Xierde,\" Chen Boshi said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor, rest assured—even if we turn over every inch of China, we will find this 'yin energy site.' I refuse to believe something that exists in Xierde doesn’t exist in China,\" Li Buzhang said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I also believe China must have a suitable yin energy site.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, I plan to visit several project teams to check progress—would you like to come along and observe?\" Chen Boshi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t understand research matters, and I probably couldn’t see anything meaningful—I’ll leave it to you professionals. I’ll return to the Premier’s Office to report on this situation. Everything here is in your hands and General Xu’s,\" Li Buzhang said solemnly, then released Chen Boshi’s hand and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a corner, two expressionless young men in Zhongshan suits emerged, silently following behind Li Buzhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Boshi watched the three figures recede, a thoughtful expression crossing his face, then turned and walked down another corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a white hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu lay naked on a large metal bed, wearing only briefs, his limbs firmly locked in metal wrist cuffs attached to the bed’s thick frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, two female nurses in white lab coats inserted dozens of black needles into his body—dense and numerous, over forty in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tails of these needles connected to silver-white threads, whose other ends led to several instruments beside the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bed’s head, a middle-aged man in black glasses held a silver disc-like device, speaking to Wang Yu with an excited tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, once the two nurses had inserted all the needles, the middle-aged man activated the control switch of a device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a \"zzzt\" sound rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machines emitted a hum; silver electrical arcs spiraled along the silver threads and rapidly surged into over a dozen black needles embedded in Wang Yu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The needles trembled slightly, beginning to vibrate rhythmically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu, who had been calm moments before, suddenly tensed his face, revealing faint traces of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man beside him constantly monitored the numbers on his instrument, making subtle adjustments to nearby equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zzzt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The electrical arcs along the silver threads suddenly intensified; more needles on Wang Yu’s body began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu instinctively tried to curl up, but the metal cuffs held him fast to the frame—he clenched his fists, bit his lips tightly, his face twisted in agony, yet his eyes still held a glimmer of clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. 1, hold on! If you pass out now, my newly developed Thunder Acupuncture Infusion method will fail,\" the middle-aged man shouted repeatedly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead—he seemed even more tense than Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two female nurses also stared intently at the critical data displays on the machines, occasionally reporting to the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man alternated between adjusting his instrument and fine-tuning nearby devices, visibly busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu, now dressed again and with his expression calm, appeared in another metal hall over ten meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of this massive hall, spanning more than ten mu, stood a giant spherical framework the size of a pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the sphere, over a dozen workers operated robotic arms, welding thick, silver-white plate-like panels onto the sphere’s surface—nearly half of it already covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the sphere, multiple layers of silver metal flooring had been laid; one layer was being fitted with a series of highly advanced equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most striking feature was the giant sleep pod at the center—several times larger than standard models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Student Ding, what do you think of this? It looks simple, but both the frame and the panels are made of the newly developed 'Rune Alloy'—the strongest material on this Blue Star today,\" Chen Boshi asked Wang Yu, standing beside the giant sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rune Alloy? The one developed from spirit runes?\" Wang Yu’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. And this is the 'Moon Palace'—the strongest fortress built for your safety, and your most powerful aid for crossing between the two worlds,\" Chen Boshi explained with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1078,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.565Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a8f082b3ec21d5c1636e45d635fc4f7ddef17b60a9b3882f82b3369d33f0aa2","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-449","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-447",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
