Chapter 1293: Neglected Ready-made Foreign Aid
If we were to describe the current state of Planet Peron using a server-centric approach, it would be that the World Tree is simultaneously running two systems, the old and the new.
The old world system crashed due to a virus infection and was sealed and isolated by Lin Yuan, running in the background of the World Tree and slowly eliminating the virus. At the same time, a new world system was generated in the foreground and is running normally.
However, the old world consumes too much computing resources, and the antivirus software also consumes a lot of resources, leaving not much room for the new world to run within the limited performance resources.
These phenomena are not apparent in the daily lives of ordinary people. They only occur when the computational functions centered on spiritual energy in the cultivation world exceed their limits, resulting in critical value lag.
Lin Fan's idea was simple.
Since it has been determined that while the World Tree is repairing the ancient world, it will also use the idle computing power to feed back into the new world to generate more spiritual energy and create a more favorable environment for cultivation.
So, by accelerating radiation decomposition and freeing up the World Tree's computing power to reach the operating values of the ancient times, wouldn't we be able to replicate the cultivation environment of that era?
Of course, her statement about Lin Yuan was more euphemistic and less direct.
"What we can confirm right now is the increase in spiritual energy; we can't be sure if the poisons from the ancient world have been weakened." Lin Yuan wasn't so easily convinced. "Besides, even if we were sure, at the current rate of repair, who knows when all the poisons would be eliminated. Or perhaps..."
He glanced sideways at Yue Zhengyuanqing, who remained silent with his eyes closed. "Do you have a faster way?"
Le Zhengyuanqing came here specifically to treat Lin Fan and the others by removing the poison.
Although the effects are still unknown, judging from the calm and composed demeanor of these people from outside the region, who show no concern whatsoever about the girl's poisoning, they must have a foolproof solution.
Lin Fan and Antonio both looked at Le Zhengyuanqing.
The anti-radiation medication on the Noah was indeed effective in treating the residual radiation in the body, but it was only an idealized theoretical calculation beforehand. The actual effect would depend on the actual treatment results of Du Xingyu and the others.
Furthermore, removing radiation from an individual is different from removing radiation from the entire world in terms of both scale and method.
They have enough radiation-removing agents, but it's not enough to clear radiation from the entire world.
Even if it's enough, how do we feed it to the ancient world?
Even if it successfully finds the World Tree, it still doesn't have a mouth to take medicine...
Le Zhengyuanqing opened his eyes and frowned, his irritated gaze meeting Lin Yuan's cold eyes: "What price can you possibly pay?"
The moment Lin Yuan saw Le Zhengyuan open his eyes, he couldn't help but flinch. But upon hearing his words, he quickly composed himself and pressed on, "What do you want?"
"What do you have?" Yue Zhengyuan glanced at him sideways and scoffed, "You talk as if you can give us anything we want."
Faced with his undisguised contempt, Lin Yuan felt his millennia-old skin burning with embarrassment. But considering the reality, it seemed there was nothing wrong with the other party's nitpicking.
"You really have a way?" Antonio couldn't hide his curiosity and asked first.
While on the Noah, he loved spending all his time with Lin Fan, completely oblivious to what the others on board were doing. He was more familiar with the new cocktails the restaurant was mixing than with the latest scientific research findings…
"Do you still remember the bonus that came with Moonflower Star?" Yue Zhengyuan asked, turning his gaze to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Qiu Yi?"
They traded a lot of supplies on Moonflower Star, a large portion of which were advanced weapons that far surpassed the current technological level of Blue Star and could not be developed by the Noah research team.
At that time, the Moon People were locked in a fierce battle with the Hermits who had launched a coup, and mistakenly believed that Lord Qian Sui was a member of their superior planet, the Annie Demon Star, and that the Noah was his subordinate.
Fearing that they might inadvertently anger the Annemo Star people, who unconditionally protect their own, and cause the Annemo Star to side with the Hermits, the Yuehua people spared no effort in sending a lot of supplies as gifts. They also thoughtfully included Jui, who was the first to host them, as a weapons repairman, and quickly sent the Noah away.
Binze was the ship on the star Yuehua. The Hermits also suffered heavy losses for him.
The combined resources obtained from both sides of Moonflower Star allowed the Noah's combat equipment to be upgraded several times.
After a period of observation, Qiu Yi, who was initially suspected of being a spy, proved to be quite reliable. Gradually, he was allowed to participate in some research projects.
For the people of Lunar Star, scientific research on the Noah was like a primary school student conducting an experiment.
However, Cen Fangyuan did not dare to completely trust him and only allowed him to participate in some parts.
Participating a little here and a little there, piecemeal and fragmented, without being able to grasp the overall picture.
The researchers were initially worried that Qiu Yi would be unhappy about being treated so lightly, but seeing his calm face reminded them that the emotional system of the Moonflower people had long been severed...
After leaving Moonflower Star, Lin Fan had no contact with Qiu Yi. If Le Zheng Yuanqing hadn't mentioned her, he wouldn't have remembered her at all. After all, her main profession—weapon repair—had never had a chance to be used due to her comfortable life in space. To Lin Fan, her presence was practically zero.
Now it suddenly comes to mind.
That's right! Moonflower is a high-tech planet that is at least a Level 2 civilization! Its special products are high-energy weapons such as particle cannons, nuclear explosion towers, and photon shields.
When he first came into contact with them, he didn't know much about them, so Lin Fan did his homework.
Particle weapons operate by efficiently converting electrical or nuclear energy into the kinetic energy of high-energy particle beams.
The focusing and orientation of particle beams involves precise control over electron radiation. The mass production of particle weapons demonstrates the Moonflower people's masterful control over the radiation propagation path.
Nuclear explosion device technology releases directed radiation through the rapid decay of radioactive elements, while avoiding nuclear fission or fusion.
This requires precise control of the energy release during the decay process—by designing the reaction structure so that the energy is output in the form of a specific ray, rather than a shock wave or light radiation.
Just by looking at the literal meaning, you can tell that this technology not only requires a deep understanding of nuclear physics, but also the ability to solve engineering problems related to radiation shielding and directional propagation.
Not to mention the photon shields procured by the Noah. After testing, it was discovered that they possessed an energy integration and recovery system capable of converting radiation into shield energy for continuous defense…
Considering the ovulation-aiding medicine brought by Le Zheng Yuanqing, Lin Fan even suspected that Qiu Yi had played a part in it.
No wonder the senior deputy in charge of scientific research, Old Dupu, always looked resentful whenever he saw Lin Fan.
Having such a treasure trove of resources as Qiu Yi but not being able to "make the most of it" is now something even Lin Fan feels is a bit too wasteful...
Then there's the thought of Binze, who has disappeared without a trace.
When we first guessed that he had entered the ancient world, we weren't sure how he had avoided the radiation, but now we realize that was unnecessary.
He held a high position and was highly respected among the Hermits, so protecting himself from radiation was probably not a problem for him.
Lin Fan felt that if the radiation from the ancient world could be resolved, it would be best to deal with it.
It's not that she's particularly saintly.
However, since it was the location of the Chaos Pearl, she was worried that she might be accidentally exposed to radiation during the extraction process.
A bead that can evolve into a planet—who knows if even a tiny bit of radiation might cause some irreversible consequences?
Moreover, if the spiritual energy concentration of the Po Lun World could be restored, allowing the masters of Changtianmen to continue their cultivation journey, it would also compensate for Lin Fan's guilt caused by deception.
Once Lin Fan had made up his mind, he dialed the Noah's communication line right in front of Lin Yuan.
Cen Fangyuan said he would go ask. But even if Qiu Yi had a solution, it would take time to prepare. They couldn't just go in empty-handed with only the principles, could they?
Lin Fan understood and said she could go down with Apollo to explore the situation below and collect some radioactive contaminants to send back.
It was only then that Lin Yuan realized that Lin Fan's status was higher than he had originally imagined.
Seeing that she hadn't mentioned any conditions and was openly preparing right in front of him, he couldn't help but feel moved. After all, if they succeeded, he could be free sooner.
"If you need anything, you can find me in the library," he said.
It was only then that Lin Fan realized who Lin Yuan was. After looking at him more closely, he finally connected him with the masked man.
So the hidden master really is the real boss?
Thinking of the elders of Changtianmen's attitude towards Lin Yuan—respectful, but lacking the reverence one would show to a Tribulation Transcending Venerable—she asked.
"Do your master and the others know your true identity?"
Finally, we're getting to the science part!
I wrote too much about cultivation in the beginning, which made me constantly reflect on my writing. This is supposed to be science fiction, so why is there no science fiction element at all?
That wasn't easy; they've brought me back to reality.
The foreshadowing about Yuehua Star is finally revealed here.
Sigh, it's been so long!
