Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 571 Celestial Corpse Transporter

Zhou Yi's first thought was: "You can use the Twin Towers now?"

"How can it be."

Night God waved his hand and said in the consciousness channel, "That thing needs enough Celestials to support it in order to start operating. Where would I get 151 Celestials to supply it... Not to mention living Celestials, I don't even have a single corpse."

"That is?"

Yagami was somewhat displeased: "You can develop technology, so can I. What? You look down on me?"

"no……"

Zhou Yi said, "The main reason is that you used to run a church, right? It felt like there was a contrast between then and now, so I didn't think about it in that direction."

"It seems you have a misunderstanding about our church. The Church of the Night studies mysticism, but that's a general term, just for the sake of easy memorization. Strictly speaking, it should be about the new laws of nature in the wasteland era."

Night God said, "For example, some believers study divine rituals, which are specific sacrificial words used to invoke conceptual life. In essence, this is the same as information codes. Just like making a phone call, conceptual life can sense that someone is calling it."

"The known rituals collected so far include those related to the sun god, dragons, heavenly paradise, and the Lord of the Dead Sea..."

Zhou Yi's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Wait a minute, the Church can even summon the Lord of the Dead Sea?"

"It's not a summons, it's just a call."

Night God corrected, "But there's no use in responding. The Lord of the Dead Sea is different from other conceptual life forms; he has no emotions, and calling upon him will only bring forth bursts of light or torrents."

Zhou Yi asked, "How did you obtain the ritual of the Lord of the Dead Sea?"

"This is related to the local deity."

"In the conceptual life, the land has a very high intensity on the consciousness side because it is widely connected to a large number of intelligent life forms with self-awareness, and all things are intricately connected with it. However, more than 99% of the land god's power has been seized by the Lord of the Dead Sea. This is an extension of the Dead Sea's suppression of the land on the consciousness side."

Night God said, "To be precise, it was the Earth God's ritual that triggered the Dead Sea Lord."

"The last time the Earth God was killed by the Paradise of Heaven, it was because some islanders used the correct ritual, which caused the Lord of the Dead Sea to respond and unleash a light burst in the vicinity... Although it was the lowest level A-class light burst for him, it was still a disaster."

"On the contrary, it made things even worse for the island, and several people died as a result."

"That's why the Earth God couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to help them cover the land with soil, hoping that the fertile land and a good harvest next year would help them recover some of their losses."

Zhou Yi hissed upon hearing this.

If the sacrificial incantation is recited correctly, the Lord of the Dead Sea will be summoned first.

Li Gui suppressed Li Kui.

This guy came over with a triple combo of surging torrents, death ray bursts, and high-pressure field... It was indeed tough to handle.

Zhou Yi now understood why the Land Fair was always silent and melancholy.

Anyone would be upset if they encountered this.

Falling from the summit into the valley.

Their power was taken away, their rituals were usurped, and they had to bear the infamy themselves.

As a deity worshipped by people, it's truly tragic that he's ended up like this.

That's going too far off-topic.

Night God steered the conversation back on track: "The gem technology I've developed originates from the gem pool beneath the Twin Towers. There's a special arrangement within the bodies of the Celestials there; this structure is like an automatic switch."

"remember?"

"The gem transmuter flew to the moon and was captured by that light. That's the mechanism; the core is changing the arrangement of the gems inside, allowing the gem transmuter to fly into the gem pool on its own."

“I conducted repeated experiments with it, and even when placed in the Martian rings far from the moon, it would be captured by that band of light and come from the nearest space passage into the gem pool.”

Zhou Yi was somewhat skeptical.

After all, the size of the Celestial Gem Body far exceeds that of the Transformer.

However, he felt that simply changing the internal structure of the gemstone was worth a try.

"it is good."

"Let's do it now."

Night God said impatiently, "I'll recreate the old human era before the Circular Flow eruption and construct a one-to-one scale consciousness world in the Gem Space. You go and get me a Celestial Corpse."

"But why do you suddenly want the corpse of a celestial being?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

I want to be like you.

"what?"

"It means that you can go to the Celestial Graveyard, a place close to the sun, where the corpses of Celestials are the best vessel."

Yagami then revealed his purpose: "I want to modify a Celestial corpse, so that, like you, I can disguise myself as a Celestial and infiltrate the area to take a look. To activate the Twin Towers and thoroughly understand the Moon's mechanisms, we need Celestials. So I also need to find Celestials."

"If they don't dare to come, then I'll have to go myself."

"When the two of us team up, it will be more convenient for us to do anything over there, right? But we need rubies. Only with rubies can we record, store, and retrieve data, so that we can continue from where we left off each time we use it."

Zhou Yi then realized this.

So that's what Yagami was thinking.

"it is good."

He didn't waste any words: "Give me the structure you described, and I'll go and debug it."

An hour later, it was confirmed that everything was correct.

Zhou Yi activated his consciousness remote projection and entered the long-lost Celestial Graveyard.

……

The cemetery area remains unchanged.

The remains of the celestial beings float in space.

Zhou Yi first confirmed that the celestial corpse he was controlling was unharmed, except for the natural loss of some sapphire, there were no other changes.

The outside world is also normal.

He quickly located a small Celestial Corpse.

The surface of the gemstone is mostly white, giving it a desolate and cold feel.

After Zhou Yi captured it, he discovered that it did not contain any rubies.

No, that doesn't fit. Next.

He then targeted another slightly larger one, connected it with a gem tunnel, and first examined the interior of the corpse.

There are no rubies either.

Not compliant.

……

Eight bodies were examined, but no rubies were found.

This is also normal.

The corpses of celestial beings containing rubies are rare.

When Zhou Yi found the 12th celestial being's corpse, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we found one that meets our requirements.

Deep within this celestial being's body lies a faded ruby, its overall shape somewhat resembling a flattened, round pumpkin; let's call it Brother Pumpkin for now.

Zhou Yi first reads the data.

Immersion begins.

Zhou Yi found himself above a giant, high-temperature world.

The ground was ablaze, gleaming a bright yellow-white.

Small celestial bodies rising from the sea of ​​fire, many of which are over 1000 kilometers in diameter, are irregularly burning bodies.

They resemble burning mushroom clouds, rising to a certain height before falling back down, their color changing from bright to dim and then disappearing into black.

Zhou Yi later learned that this was a grain-like structure on the sun, a convection phenomenon formed by the rising of high-temperature plasma (bright area) and its sinking after cooling (dark edge).

By this time, he already knew what was going on.

It must be the sun.

The dead celestial beings move about in places close to the sun.

The sun's surface has patches of dark spots because it is thousands of degrees cooler than the surrounding area, making it appear dark in contrast to the bright light around it.

This star, on which humanity depends for survival, actually has something flowing like a liquid, except that it is in a state of high temperature, similar to boiling.

What's rather strange is that streaks of purple light occasionally emanate from the surface of the sun.

They are energy bursts from some kind of explosion, shooting out in all directions before disappearing into the darkness.

Zhou Yi's celestial body also felt the heat at this moment.

A layer of blue light surrounded his body, which greatly alleviated the effects of high temperature and radiation.

In Zhou Yi's first-person perspective, the celestial being is flying above the sun, approaching another floating celestial being.

There are very few celestial beings here; they are all surrounded by blue light and move around in their respective areas.

Zhou Yi looked behind him.

From a distance away from the sun, illuminated by bright light, the massive engineering feat constructed from transparent gemstones is clearly visible. Long, dark walls seem to block out the sun, as if attempting to envelop it entirely.

The inner layer of the solar wall has a concentric structure, like long rings that wrap around the sun.

The inner walls gather all the purple light emitted by the sun, concentrating it into hemispherical nodes. It's as if they guide and bend this purple light, concentrating it there and preventing it from being released further to the outside world.

The outer wall is quite far away, and only a faintly glowing blue sky can be seen.

Zhou Yi had a vague feeling.

These purple lights must have some special significance, otherwise a solar wall would not be used specifically to collect them.

Both purple light and purple sun originate from the sun.

It seems that only Jupiter can receive and recognize the purple light.

Just as Zhou Yi was pondering this, he suddenly felt a jolt in his field of vision.

He came to his senses.

They discovered that their celestial being had already established a connection with another, larger celestial being. This other celestial being shone with a brilliant blue light, brimming with energy, yet possessed a layer of purple that appeared and disappeared within its body.

This was the first time Zhou Yi had ever encountered contact between celestial beings and humans.

He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

I wonder what form of communication is used between celestial beings and humans through physical contact.

It couldn't have been an accidental collision, could it?

Then he saw that Brother Pumpkin was carrying that large celestial being, flying little by little towards a space far away from the sun.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

Then, as it approached the inner wall, the large celestial being was thrown out.

That day, when a person entered a circular area on the inner wall, they were attracted and began to rotate, turning into a shooting star with a long blue tail.

It accelerated away from the sun and disappeared into the distance.

Was this person thrown out because they committed a crime?

Zhou Yi suddenly came to his senses.

wrong.

The celestial being that was thrown out, though full of energy, lacked the luminous membrane on its body. It was extremely hot and offered no resistance whatsoever during the entire throwing process, nor did it release any information or make any movement.

That was a dead celestial being.

After it was confirmed dead, it was taken out of here and sent to the outside world via the solar wall for a flight drift.

From my own perspective.

Was he a celestial corpse transporter?

Zhou Yi was both amused and exasperated.

Speaking of which, this person is considered one of my colleagues.
