Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 558 He is the Spark Swordsman

Zhou Yi was somewhat puzzled: "You mean, Mars originally had a similar ecological environment to Earth?"

"Do not."

The old king said, "Mars is a failed copy of Earth."

Replica.

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened.

It seems the old king knew quite a bit about the inside story of Mars.

It hadn't discussed this at all before, but after resolving its pressing satellite repair issue, the Old King seemed to have fully acknowledged its strength and qualifications, and only then did it share this core secret.

Zhou Yi listened quietly.

The old king continued, “During the Age of Gods, the old humans were always paying attention to Mars. Because its day and night cycle and seasons were similar to Earth’s, a Martian day was only 39 minutes longer than an Earth day. Mars also had four seasons, but each season was twice as long as Earth’s.”

"Mars has a temperature between -140°C and 20°C. Although it is cold, this temperature is the most suitable for life in the solar system."

"The atmosphere there is only 1% the size of Earth's, but 95% of it is carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is the natural source of oxygen. By using the greenhouse effect, we can raise the temperature and even convert large amounts of oxygen through plants, thus transforming the atmosphere."

"Mars has polar ice caps and traces of ancient riverbeds. We have also discovered many underground liquid saltwater lakes, which will provide a water environment for life."

A mechanical and flat voice came through the headphones.

"The Nexus Matrix has revealed many unusual traces on Mars."

“There is a unique natural law on Mars that I call the ‘speaker mechanism.’ It’s like a loudspeaker, constantly broadcasting certain information across Mars.”

"The source of the information, that is, the creator of Martian life, including Electric Cat, Electric Soul, and Flying Rod and other life forms, is the Golden Elephant Shepherd."

The old king said, "The loudspeaker mechanism records many sounds, and different sounds are directed at different groups of life. For example, the sounds that the electric cats hear are words of impatience and scolding, telling them to keep making trouble and that the old king is not going to care anymore."

"The Sky Survey Telescope and Alonzo followed the sound mechanism to the microscopic realm and discovered special information salts. The salt lake is a huge information storage device, where a solid life form lives."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "Salt can transmit information?"

"OK."

"There are two ways to read the salt on Mars."

The old king explained: "The first is to control the migration of Na by an electric field, thereby changing the local conductivity and achieving information storage similar to a memristor."

"The second method is at the atomic level. By precisely controlling the arrangement of Na and Cl, similar to DNA base pairs, a simplified code that can be read in various ways, including binary code."

“Salt lakes are a huge library. As long as we find a way to observe them, we can read the information inside with our existing technology. The technology of the creators is far superior to ours.”

Zhou Yi hissed upon hearing this.

No wonder the celestial beings have shown restraint towards the Golden Elephant herdsmen.

This group not only possesses the ability to raise all sorts of bizarre creatures, but also has extremely strong information technology capabilities. The Celestials, on the other hand, don't even quite understand gene editing, and can't even reproduce their own secondary units.

Celestial beings are like warriors, adept at launching invasions and capturing the sun, and also exist as laborers to guard the moon and Jupiter.

The Golden Elephant herdsmen are more like a group of engineers.

The old king added, "Just recently, we completed part of the decoding work in the underground saltwater lake."

"According to the Salt Records, Mars is a planet terraformed by a group called the Sowers, who are what you call the Golden Elephant Shepherds. They tried to replicate Earth here, using Earth as a model to sow and cultivate life, attempting to terraform the entire planet."

"However, a sudden disaster occurred, bringing the project to a complete halt."

"Unfortunately, there is no record of what happened, and the terraforming of Mars ended there. The seeders also announced their departure, leaving behind brief information about the various species they had introduced there."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between the Celestials and the Sowers?"

The old king made no attempt to conceal anything: "In the records of salt, the sowers mentioned a group called the Transformers. According to calculations and judgments by the Star Hub, this should refer to the Celestials."

"The sowers and the modifiers are not enemies; they are two groups focused on different areas. All we know is that the sowers target the realm of life, while the modifiers modify and process the entire planet."

Zhou Yi, however, perked up at the news.

We finally got positive information about the Celestials.

In the past, I figured things out, tried and failed, and summarized things little by little on my own.

The Jinxiang herdsmen left behind crucial information.

They cultivate hydrogen-based life forms, electric cats, killer rats, and even uncharted flesh mountains; calling them seeders wouldn't be wrong.

The Celestials, on the other hand, focus their technological efforts on modifying and processing entire celestial bodies, which is why they can create the solar wall. Their limited understanding of life forms is therefore understandable.

The old king said, "The reason we chose to establish a base on Mars is because we have cracked this information."

"Mars is a celestial body modeled after Earth, the territory of the seeders. The seeders cannot enter here; Mars itself has a special mechanism, just like Jupiter and the Moon."

Zhou Yi confirmed again: "So the Celestials can't enter Mars?"

"No."

The Old King emphasized: "Although the plan to terraform Mars into a second Earth ultimately failed, the planet still belongs to the sowers. They still allow the life sown there to grow naturally."

Where did the sowers go?

"do not know."

The Old King said, “The salt only records that the sowers finished their work and left. It does not say where they went or what they are doing now.”

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think: "The forbidden continent on Earth was also only half-built before construction stopped. It seems that it's all related to that sudden event."

"That's not true."

The Old King said, "There are also records on the Forbidden Continent, right here in the Spark Plains. We contacted the Spark Swordsman there and learned from him about the information left by the Seeder."

"The Sower left a message on the Spark Plains, saying that he was not in good condition and was inexplicably depressed. Rather than building a shoddy amusement park, he would rather stop now and announce an indefinite postponement of the project..."

Zhou Yi found it hard to believe. Basically, they were just giving up and running away.

In terms of professional attitude, the sower is not as good as the transformer... For many years, the Celestials have been diligently building the solar wall and have never given up or relaxed.

However, on the other hand, thanks to the Seeders' escape, the Old King and I were given an opportunity to make money and acquire a base outside the Celestials' territory.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

There's a positive side to giving up!
Zhou Yi then wondered, "Does Senior King know the Spark Swordsman?"

"know."

The old king said, "You know this person too."

"Could it be..."

Zhou Yi tentatively asked, "Master of War?"

"How could you think it was him? It has nothing to do with him."

The old king said, "If it were him, why would he need to ask you for an electric cat?"

This is true.

Zhou Yi snapped out of his daze: "Who exactly is the Spark Swordsman?"

"The current emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom is the Black Emperor II. His other identity is the Spark Swordsman."

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

It turned out to be the Slaughterer.

what.

A flash of inspiration struck Zhou Yi.

The Slaughter King is known for killing thousands of mechanical and electrical lives.

If he is a Spark Swordsman, then it makes perfect sense.

Electricity has both a restraining and lethal effect on electromechanical life.

When the Electric Cat system was first announced, the Legal Front was very concerned about this.

It turns out that their reputation was ruined by the Slaughtering Duke.

Wait.

That Slaughter Lord is no simpleton...

Zhou Yi then asked, "It seems that Lord Slaughter made many preparations beforehand. He not only studied and became a Spark Swordsman, but also obtained the right to inherit the Black Emperor of Heaven and the acting position... What kind of person is he?"

About this question.

The old king pondered for a while.

"Before you, he was the strongest of the new generation. But you suddenly appeared and changed a lot of things. I heard that his candidacy was even lowered, and he was once behind you."

This senior colleague is very well-informed.

Zhou Yi continued listening.

"The Slaughterer is willing to try and take risks, is not afraid of setbacks, and can endure long periods of dormancy. However, his shortcomings are also obvious: he is very competitive and has extremely high demands on himself."

"Before you, he saw the Black Emperor as his target to catch up with. After you suddenly appeared, he has been trying to catch up with and surpass you in every way."

The old king said, "Now that he has inherited the throne of the Kingdom of Heaven, it seems that this hasn't changed. He seems unwilling to lose to you in any area. Whether it's the Mars project, the mutants... or the competition for the successor position, he wants to prove his strength."

"He has gained the support of the nightmare community, obtained the acting position, and holds the reins of Heaven. He is indeed one of the most outstanding figures of this era."

Zhou Yi was a little confused.

I've never even met him, and this kid is already using me as his imaginary enemy?
No wonder the No. 4 acting position was taken.

This kid is after me.

"However, although he won the position in the acting election, you won the hearts and minds of the people. I heard that the Free Army has become a subordinate department of your company?"

Zhou Yi quickly said, "That's not true, it's just a cooperative relationship."

He briefly discussed the compatibility of wasteland armor with mutants.

I and the former king are on different tracks, and we can achieve a win-win situation through cooperation. This is my unique advantage.

"I see... In terms of overall perspective and strategy, he is indeed inferior to you. It seems we'll have to work hard to catch up again."

So said the former king.

Zhou Yi asked, "Senior King, why are you telling me this?"

The part about the secrets of Mars already involves celestial and human secrets.

"because."

The former king said slowly, "You are qualified."

"If this world is to break out of this stalemate, the Black Emperor can be replaced, but your power is indispensable. In fact, you may even become the leader in this matter in the end."

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Is the time ripe?

"not enough."

The old king said, "But we have already seen a glimmer of hope."
