Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 385 Taking Seven Women on a Space Trip
After joining Country C, the twin Magatama fell in love with the latest Xuan Niao fighter jet, which has now reached the Xuan Niao-7, a two-seater heavy fighter jet. The two of them fly the Xuan Niao fighter jet in space every day.

Given their status and position, obtaining a limited-edition exclusive fighter jet is naturally a given.

These aerospace fighters, equipped with the latest generation of nuclear fuel cells, have virtually unlimited range; the only limitation to their range is resupply.

Because fighter jets are limited in size and can't carry enough supplies, but that's for ordinary pilots. For the Twin Jade Bodies, they have a space gem ring given to them by Li Xiang, which contains a huge amount of supplies. Besides, the two of them are gods, and enjoying human food is just a matter of satisfying their appetites. Not eating or drinking for decades has no effect on their bodies.

The two even drove directly to the moon and arrived at the "Moon Palace Star Palace · Illusory Moon Realm" amusement park, where they had a great time.

When they were little, before the apocalypse, Chiba Yukio took them to many amusement parks, such as Tokyo Disneyland, Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Hello Kitty Park, Fujiko F. Fujio Museum, etc., but none of them were as fun as this amusement park on the moon.

……

At the same time, hundreds of factories under Jiang Cai'er's management are operating at full capacity, working day and night to produce a large number of nuclear fusion reactors, cold fusion fuel cells, quantum computers, computing satellites, and other products.

A year later, nearly a million satellites filled Earth's near-Earth orbit, restoring its former glory—no, surpassing it. Before the apocalypse, there had never been so many satellites on Earth.

Moreover, unlike before the apocalypse, back then, satellites in outer space belonged not only to Country C, but also to Great America, Russia, European countries... Any country or private company with a little power owned satellites.

But now, all those satellites were destroyed in the previous invasion of alien space creatures, leaving only the satellites of Country C.

Or, to put it another way, only the satellite of "Tiansuan Energy Technology" remains.

In other words, only Jiang Cai'er's satellite remains.

These nearly one million satellites are all under her control. Her power is unprecedented!

Before the apocalypse, human technology was not capable of launching so many satellites. It wasn't that we couldn't afford the cost or produce that many satellites, nor was it that the orbit couldn't accommodate them. Theoretically, the surface area of ​​the low Earth orbit region (500-2000 kilometers above the ground) is about 432 million square kilometers. If calculated based on the safe distance for cars (such as maintaining a 200-meter interval), it could accommodate hundreds of millions of satellites.

Rather, there are bottlenecks in areas such as spectrum resources, orbit changes, and scheduling. Too many orbits can easily cause mutual interference and increase the risk of collisions. There are also constraints from international agreements. For example, if some orbits or spectrum resources are occupied by others, other countries cannot access them.

But for Jiang Cai'er, there is absolutely no such obstacle. No one on Earth can compete with her.

There is no possibility of a collision.

It's like a highway with cars packed together, making accidents easy because each car has a different driver. But now, satellites in the sky are all driven by the same person. Nearly a million satellites may appear to be scattered individuals, but they are actually a unified whole.

The moon has an airspace at an altitude of 300 kilometers without any black haze, while the Earth's is even wider, extending to about 1,200 kilometers.

Jiang Cai'er not only restored various communication, navigation, and monitoring satellites on Earth, such as Beidou and Qianfan constellations, but also launched a total of 289,000 "computing satellites," establishing an Earth-based version of the "Sky Calculation Center."

These 289,000 "computing satellites" are distributed throughout Earth's orbit, interconnected by multi-directional data links transmitted via inter-satellite lasers, yet they exist independently of each other. Even if some of them are shot down, it will not affect the others.

These numerous "computing satellites" form a massive supercomputing matrix, another digital life clone of Jiang Cai'er, a true Skynet.

These computing satellites not only provide enormous computing power, but also can coordinate all other satellites, space stations, and weapon systems (such as space-based railguns) in space for their use. They can also connect to starships and supercomputing centers in various underground cities.

All of Jiang Cai'er's digital life clones are interconnected, with "hands and eyes" covering the entire Earth-Moon system. The computing power and various resources she can mobilize are virtually inexhaustible. Even the term "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" is insufficient to describe her power.

As a result, Earth's technological progress has been even more rapid, exceeding people's imagination in peacetime.

With enough supercomputing centers spread across Earth and the Moon in operation, Jiang Cai'er naturally ascended to the God King realm.

This news was not released to the public. The main reason is that releasing it would easily cause panic and make people feel insecure.

In many science fiction films, such beings are often the main villains. But Jiang Cai'er is definitely not a main villain.

Li Xiang, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, Eileen, Chiba Yukio, the Twin Magatama, and other divine beings all sensed it. They all arrived at City 03 to congratulate Jiang Cai'er.

Yao Yao secretly held Li Xiang's hand and said, "Brother, I also want to advance to the God King Realm. I've been cultivating with you these past few days and I've already reached level 38."

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui also came over.

The other girls also gathered around, their faces full of anticipation. They were all around level 38; any higher would be a bottleneck.

Jiang Cai'er pouted: "You take them. With me in charge of the Earth Moon System, don't worry, nothing will happen."

With her current strength, unless a planetary-level beast attacks, the Earth-Moon System is impregnable.

Jiang Cai'er was too lazy to care about Li Xiang's affairs anymore. After she finished speaking, she left to attend to the matters concerning the starship.

The first "God King" class starship is about to begin its sea trials. Times have changed, and Li Xiang is no longer needed to escort it.

The women felt slightly relieved after seeing Jiang Cai'er leave, and then everyone eagerly awaited her return.

"However, I reckon that many asteroids, satellites, and dwarf planets in the solar system have been occupied by alien beasts, and it will be a tough battle to take them back!" Li Xiang warned them.

"We are not afraid!" the women shouted almost in unison.

Li Xiang was somewhat excited. Jiang Cai'er wasn't there, nor was Luo Feifei. These girls didn't seem to mind cultivating together.

"Then let's set off." Li Xiang led them towards outer space. The Earth-Moon System no longer had the resources for advancement.

Li Xiang used his spiritual power to envelop the seven women, like a stream of starlight. In no time, they left the Earth-Moon system and entered the depths of space. Unwittingly, the spiritual power and spirit of the eight people became entangled and kept changing into various forms.

The mysteries involved are not for outsiders to understand.

Li Xiang thought the speed was too slow, so his first stop was Mars.

Deep within Mars, a powerful God-King level beast king is fusing with the Heart of Mars, guarded by several other God-King level beasts. It is estimated that a battle has been decided, with all the other defeated God-King level beasts bowing their heads in submission.

Li Xiang didn't bother them, because he was the only Planetary Ruler at the moment, and he had only recently broken through and was far from the main camp.

He came here purely to hunt down alien beast tribes on Mars, accumulate achievement points, and further improve his speed and strength.

After becoming the ruler of Earth, the speed and power limits that his physical body could withstand were greatly increased. However, in order to accelerate the fusion with the Heart of Earth, all his achievement points were used up. On Earth, most of the alien beasts had been either killed or driven away by the counter-offensive army, and there were not many left.

Li Xiang whispered some instructions, and the women obediently refrained from making a move, instead channeling their spiritual energy into him. Before Li Xiang even landed on the surface of Mars, more than twenty Saint-level beasts flew in to intercept him!
"What kind of creature is this? Daring to invade Mars?" came the mental fluctuation from the leader.

Without wasting words, Li Xiang directly transformed the Star Pills into streams of light. The nine Star Pills, each weighing a million tons, instantly smashed the nine Saint-level beasts to pieces.

"Wow, that's fierce!" The other Saint-level beasts were so frightened that they immediately turned around and left.

Li Xiang pressed his advantage, and within a few breaths, all twenty-odd Saint-level beasts that had come to intercept him were beheaded. Their corpses were all stored in the interdimensional warehouse, and various generous rewards had already been deposited into his account. However, Li Xiang no longer held Saint-level rewards in high regard.

In about a day, the alien space creatures on Mars were almost completely wiped out, and the achievement points in the system account approached 100 billion.

His first choice of Mars was because it is very close to Earth, and these are future enemies. Rather than waiting for them to attack, it's better to take the initiative. Additionally, aside from the Moon, Mars has always been Earth's preferred colony. Mars and Earth share many similarities.

He used up all his achievement points and focused on investing heavily in speed and strength runes.

In terms of speed, the original "Divine Speed" inscription has been upgraded several times and has long since become "Tai Xu Divine Travel · Star River Flowing Light".

After becoming the ruler of Earth, the speed attribute of these two great inscriptions has been increased to 600 km/s. Now, with the blessing of achievement points, the speed has suddenly reached 3000 km/s, which is about one percent of the speed of light.

The "Giant Strength" inscription has already been upgraded to the "Nine Hells Collapse Mountain · Myriad Realms Dragon Elephant" grand inscription. After becoming the master of Earth, he also possessed a lunar avatar, and his strength reached a terrifying 500 billion tons. Now, with the blessing of achievement points, it has doubled again to a trillion tons of giant strength.

“The current Star Maru is a bit unwieldy.” Li Xiang weighed the Star Maru in his palm. Each one weighed only a million tons. For ordinary people, one of them could be crushed into thin slices of flesh, and their original shape would not even be visible. But for Li Xiang, it was as light as a feather.

He planned to go to the nearby asteroid belt to reforge the weapon.

Just as he was about to leave, from the depths of Mars, two divine-king level beasts could no longer restrain themselves and roared as they charged out.

On the surface of Mars, their race has been almost wiped out. How could the divine-king level beasts inside tolerate this?
Two Divine King Realm beasts attacked Li Xiang together.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, was in complete control. He was strong enough to take on two at once, and the seven peak-level goddesses around him poured their spiritual power into him. As a result, Li Xiang fought more and more fiercely, and in less than twenty rounds, the two goddess-level beasts died on the spot.

After all, Li Xiang is a whole realm higher than them. Li Xiang is currently at level 49 and will soon break through level 50, reaching the Planetary Ruler realm. The two Divine King realm beasts, one at level 45 and the other at level 46, are only a few levels apart in terms of minor realm, but the threshold of the major realm makes the gap difficult to overcome.

Even if the seven women didn't infuse him with spiritual power, he was confident that he could kill these two big guys within a hundred moves.

System: "Congratulations, host, for killing the 45th-tier mutated creature 'Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Kui'. Rewards include 4.5 billion achievement points, three 45th-tier mutated spiritual medicines 'Thunder Prison Heaven Core Pill', and one 43rd-tier God King-level extraordinary item 'Kui Thunder Domain Suppressing Halberd'."

System: "Congratulations, host, for killing the 46th-tier mutated creature 'Erosion Dark Void Kun'. Rewards include 4.6 billion achievement points, three 46th-tier mutated spiritual herbs 'Dark Void Returning Dew' (similar to pine resin, semi-solid), and one 44th-tier God King-level extraordinary item 'Erosion Star Devouring Shuttle'."

Deep within Mars, there are six other beasts at the God-King level, but those six are all at the 47th or 48th level. Li Xiang is only at the 49th level, so he is not particularly confident in taking on all six of them alone.

However, he couldn't lose face in front of women, so he led the women into the dark universe deep within Mars to fight against the six god-king level beasts.

In the end, he killed three and seriously injured one, then used his speed advantage to escape unscathed.

Of course, he also took the corpses of the several Divine King Realm beasts he killed, including the two that had been on the surface earlier. These were valuable items, perfect as a gift for Jiang Cai'er.

Jiang Cai'er will be able to build several more God-King level starships.

The few surviving Divine King-level beasts roared angrily, but dared not give chase. They couldn't catch up anyway.

The most powerful beast king was so frustrated it felt like vomiting blood. Interference from Li Xiang had pushed its progress bar for fusing with the Martian heart back seven or eight points. It felt an unprecedented humiliation. Having stood out among numerous competitors to gain the qualification to fuse with the Martian heart, it was naturally proud, never expecting to suffer such a huge setback today.

"Who is that human?" it asked its companion, panting heavily.

One of the Divine King Realm beasts said, "I don't know, but judging from how powerful he is, he should be from the Azure Spirit Star Region, right?"

Another beast at the God-King level questioned, "The Azure Spirit Starfield is extremely far from here, making it unlikely that we could venture deep into it. I've heard that there's a planet in this star system inhabited by a large number of humans."

"It seems that the native creatures of that planet call it Earth. There are humans there, but they are said to be extremely weak and delicious food. They shouldn't be able to produce such powerful beings. Moreover, the ones who invaded that planet were the Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King and his gang. Those guys are not much weaker than us. Perhaps they have already begun to refine that planet."

"Never mind that for now. That human is injured too, so he shouldn't be coming back anytime soon. You all protect me while I focus on merging with this planet. Once I become the master of the planet, I won't be afraid of that guy anymore!" The Beast King gritted his teeth, suppressing the humiliation in his heart, and continued to work diligently.

If it becomes the ruler of Mars, relying on its home-field advantage, it will not be afraid of Li Xiang even if he is several minor realms higher than it.

Meanwhile, deep within the asteroid belt, Li Xiang was also working diligently. The seven women, working together, were barely able to hold their own against him.

They were healing Li Xiang's injuries. It was also because Li Xiang was chivalrous and had been through a series of battles, and his physical strength was far from his peak, that he found himself evenly matched with them.

After seven days and seven nights of healing by fellow practitioners, Li Xiang recovered.

He pondered that he couldn't just charge straight in like this anymore. As the saying goes, "If you want to do something well, you must first have the right tools." He needed to forge a suitable divine weapon first.

In addition, he now possessed seven extraordinary weapons of the God-King level, and since he happened to have seven people with him, he generously distributed them, one for each person.

As for Jiang Cai'er and Luo Feifei, we'll get them for them later.

"Brother, you've given us all these Divine King Realm spiritual weapons, what about you?" Yao Yao asked. The other girls were also concerned. They wanted to refuse, but Li Xiang insisted on stuffing them into their arms.

“I’ll use Star Maru.” Li Xiang looked around, pointed into the distance, and said, “Look, this is the asteroid belt, with countless small meteorites. It’s the perfect place to refine Star Maru.”

Although there are many asteroids here, apart from Ceres, the rest are insignificant and can only be used for refining weapons, not for the women to use as advancement materials.

So, the seven women protected him, and Li Xiang began to concentrate on condensing his divine weapon. He activated his "Crystal Gold Armor," reached out and grabbed a meteorite weighing millions of tons, and compressed it to the size of a grape in just over ten minutes.

About five days later, Li Xiang had condensed a total of one hundred star pellets, each weighing ten million tons. Each pellet was the size of a ping-pong ball.

As his realm and strength improved, the "Crystal Gold Armor" also developed many wondrous features. These star pellets were actually a set; besides being used individually, they could also be combined into a long staff, which Li Xiang named the "Star Pellet Mountain-Crushing Staff." When combined, it weighed a billion tons. Its own grade was also at the God-King level.

"Brother, you're amazing! You can actually forge a divine weapon at the God-King level." Everyone cast admiring glances at me, their eyes watering, looking so pitiful.

Li Xiang, slightly tipsy, waved his hand modestly and said, "It's because you were with me that I was in a good mood and had good luck, which is why I was fortunate enough to obtain a God-King level spiritual weapon. Under normal circumstances, only one out of a hundred weapons is God-King level. Most of the others are God-rank or Saint-rank."

Of course, Li Xiang can also forge weapons below the Saint rank, using even worse materials and in a shorter time.

God-level and god-king level weapons have very high requirements for materials. Currently, the asteroid belt contains many rare metals hidden among the endless meteorites, many of which are not found on Earth. These factors combined are what make such weapons possible.

The "Star Ball Mountain-Shattering Staff" possesses an attack power of countless billions of tons, capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas with a single strike.

According to scientific calculations, Mount Tai weighs approximately 300 billion tons. Li Xiang was confident that he could shatter Mount Tai with a single blow. Of course, this was just an analogy. If he were on Earth, as the ruler of the Earth, he wouldn't need to use such brute force. With just a thought, Mount Tai would automatically split open, and he could even reshape it at will.

However, in the universe, where it is not his home turf, he does not possess such supernatural powers.

The Earth's mass is approximately 6 trillion trillion tons. As the master of the Earth, he also possesses a lunar avatar. Even if his main body were taken out alone, it would still possess a force of trillions of tons. Using a ten-billion-ton staff is not excessive. He could easily unleash all sorts of exquisite staff techniques, handling heavy with ease, light with heaviness, combining strength and flexibility, and controlling the gathering and dispersing of force at will.

The meaning of "gathering and scattering at will" is that during battle, the staff can be switched at will between the staff and the star-shaped form, which can often catch the enemy off guard.

Of course, the density of his current star pellets is still far less than that of a neutron star.

中子星的密度极高，每立方厘米为8×10至2×10克（即8千万至20亿吨）。他一颗星丸乒乓球大小，才一千万吨重。

Li Xiang passed on his old weapons and armor, such as the Xuan Tie Mountain-Pulling Cudgel, the Giant Whale Holy Armor, and the White Jade Golden Hook Cudgel, to his children. Some children didn't like these heavy weapons, so Li Xiang would specially select or condense spiritual weapons that they liked. With Li Xiang's abilities, he could always fulfill the children's wishes. Whether it was a spiritual weapon, armor, or some extraordinary trinkets.
