Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 241 Planetary Lifeform, Engine Falls
If you want to know the truth, fly up and take a look.

Lin Feng looked at this sentence and suddenly understood.

That’s right, everything that happened in the past was actually to resolve the doomsday situation of Sanri Lingkong. If it was not the end of the wasteland, but a better era, then not many people would care about the history of the past.

Everyone wants to know what has led to the current cruel situation where humans, including other higher life forms, have to keep running for survival until they die.

If it weren't for the three days of rotation in the sky and the constant approach of the scorching sun restricted area, it wouldn't be so difficult even if we had to face the eternal daylight environment without a moon.

Because as long as you can stay in a certain area stably and don't have to keep migrating, then as time accumulates, the generations will pass on...

Sooner or later, we will be able to rebuild civilization and restore the glorious achievements of mankind's past.

Nowadays, at least half of the energy obtained from the outside world is used to travel.

After deducting a portion of the resources used to maintain daily diet, the resources available for development and construction are very few.

If even Lin Feng can figure it out, it is impossible for the high-level leaders who control the town’s power to not think of it.

In order to solve the current problems and break the situation of running around, we must understand its causes.

However, the first edition of the Holy Spring Sutra provides another solution:

Rather than dwelling on the past...

For example, directly break the deadlock in thinking and look at the problem from a higher level.

That is to say, fly out of the wasteland planet and into space, and all the truth will naturally appear before your eyes.

However, with the end of the Age of Gods, the major forces in the wasteland are becoming more and more conservative and unwilling to accept any changes in order to survive.

Going back a long way, Zong Shiyue’s failure to transcend was due to the instigation of top-level large forces behind the scenes.

The destruction of the City of Savior in the last few hundred years is also a very obvious example.

As the gods disappeared, the top forces increasingly strengthened their control over the people below in order to consolidate their own power and transcendent status.

Curb their development and evolution as much as possible and eliminate all potential factors that may threaten themselves.

From the path of transcendence at the beginning, to later even the pure evolution was listed as a taboo.

For the inhabitants of today's wasteland, they can either join the top forces, become followers of the Path of the Gods, and become the food of future gods...

Either they embark on the path of alien evolution and stop at the third level in this life. Even if they are lucky enough to become a third-level king, it will be difficult to go further and they will still pose no threat to the top forces.

If this continues, the wasteland will enter its own Dark Ages!
It is not easy to break the rigid situation, develop high technology to build spacecraft, and fly into deep space!
Lin Feng estimated that even if Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, successfully advanced to the third-rank king in the next few decades, it would still take at least hundreds of years to build his own royal city.

Then it would take another thousand years to build a complete industrial system from scratch, and during this period, it would be necessary to win every foreign war and complete the original accumulation.

Only in this way can we build a spaceship that can travel into space after exhausting all our efforts.

It's still the lowest level.

It is estimated that it can only accommodate about a hundred people.

But just like the destruction of the city of salvation back then, Bai Ye wanted to realize his lofty ideals, prove his geocentric theory, and escape from the wasteland world...

The first problem they faced was how to survive under the attack of a top force like the Holy Spring Sect.

In fact, Lin Feng also felt that the third point of view was more likely to be realized.

It’s a pity that he is now weaker than Bai Ye, so he can only put this practical solution aside for the time being and study the agent plan first.

After all, the first two viewpoints are closely related to this project.

As Lin Feng continued to read, the research on the remains of planetary engines became even more astonishing.

In subsequent versions of the Holy Spring Sutra, there are only some records of bishops or Templars of the church going to the ruins to investigate during the wasteland era.

Lin Feng still remembered the first time he met Father Suan in the Holy Spring Village. Father Suan told him that an archbishop of the Holy Spring Church had traveled to the equator to look for the remains of a planetary engine.

Unfortunately, when he came back, he only left a sentence saying that none of those things existed.

However, the first edition of the Holy Spring Sutra contains completely different information:
The planetary engine had long ago lost its effectiveness in some major accident.

It should be a command automatically issued by the system.

For example, if the Earth has reached its predetermined orbit, these engines will begin to slow down in the opposite direction, that is, reverse forward and backward.

Once it slows down and falls into orbit, it will automatically shut down and fall into hibernation.

However, according to the investigation and research of the third-level king in the Dark Old Calendar Era, the planetary engine was not shut down according to the established mission, but was temporarily shut down due to some safety protection measures.

As early as the beginning of construction, experts said that if there was an accident with the planetary engine, the heavy nuclear fusion reactor inside would explode...

The power would be no less than the most powerful weapon in human history, the Tsar Bomba, which has a TNT equivalent of 50 million tons.

You should know that the Tsar Bomb is the most powerful nuclear fusion weapon in human history. The shock wave of its explosion is enough to sweep over a hundred kilometers. No living creature can escape within a radius of fifty kilometers.

Even if they hide in a shelter, they will be exposed to strong high-energy radiation and eventually die from internal bleeding.

With such a powerful explosion, any underground shelter near a planetary engine would have no chance of survival.

The Wandering Earth Project is to build 10,000 planetary engines, equivalent to 10,000 Tsar Bombs...

If even one percent of them were to explode, it would be a catastrophe for all surviving humans.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of the design, very strict safety measures were taken to ensure the safety of the engine.

Once it encounters a collision or the damage reaches 15% and it cannot operate safely, it will automatically extinguish.

Rapidly reduce the temperature of the reactor to reduce the sustained scale of heavy nuclear fusion.

In this case, when Earth was escaping into space and wandering in the universe, it must have encountered a large-scale crisis that affected the entire world...

For example, if it encounters an asteroid belt and is hit by tens of thousands of meteorites, it will cause the engine to shut down on a large scale, and eventually decay into ashes over time.

This also explains why an archbishop concluded that the engine did not exist.

However, the first edition of the Holy Spring Sutra also records another possible destination.

That is, these energetic engines have become auxiliary tools for evolution.

According to the top leaders of the Evolutionary Alliance at that time, and the team that awakened the evolution of the brain and became evolutionary researchers, after careful analysis, they found the initial path of transformation.

That is to formulate the evolution of life forms along the trajectory of stellar evolution.

In other words, after evolving to the third stage, humans have reached the limit of life.

At this time, his flesh and blood body, at its peak level 39, possessed a force of tens of thousands of tons, and could even change the environment of the planet's surface when it exerted full power.

But if you go any higher, the body will find it difficult to improve due to the limitations of its cell structure.

Even if one could briefly burst out with a force of over ten thousand tons, or break through to several times the speed of sound, it would still cause tremendous strain and damage to the flesh and blood body.

At the same time, maintaining such a powerful third-level body requires continuous supply of energy to the body, which is equivalent to eating non-stop for 24 hours. Even if you can reduce the demand by sleeping, it will still be a big problem for the body.
If you want to continue to become stronger, you have to gradually abandon your original flesh and blood body and use the effect of energy radiation to transfer to a new carrier.

When Lin Feng saw this, he already had a vague premonition that this initial path of transformation was likely closely related to the agent plan that had been implemented before.

As he flipped through the first page and came to the second page, what caught his eye was indeed the agent project.

The agent, a half-mechanical, half-flesh life form, is the intermediate transitional body for the top leaders of the Evolutionary Alliance to achieve transformation.

Their ultimate goal, in addition to solving the evolutionary limit of the flesh and blood body, is to solve the biggest problem that troubles the third-level king: the source of food.

That is, after proposing the Wandering Earth plan, it called on humans and evolved beasts around the world to work together to build a planetary engine project!
The heavy nuclear fusion device was initially developed not only to propel the Earth out of the solar system, but also to provide these third-order kings with endless energy and power after they transcended and became gods.

In this way, they can become gods in the true sense of the word, independent gods not dependent on any existence.

In the subsequent development, the agents who were originally responsible for managing the underground shelter and maintaining the normal operation of the engine became the experimental subjects of this plan.

The agent continuously transforms itself until it is able to integrate a nuclear fusion device into its body, becoming a living, humanoid, self-propelled planetary engine.

Also known as...planetary life form!
If this is the case, then the 10,000 planetary engines that were built by exhausting the world's resources may have been exhausted by experiments over the long years.

Becoming a high-level member of the Evolutionary Alliance, breaking through the upper limit of level three, and becoming a stepping stone to becoming a god.

At the end of the study on engine remains, the locations of one thousand engines in the northern hemisphere are marked.

However, most of them are in coastal areas, which are the former Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean areas, because compared with land, it is more convenient to start construction and transportation near the ocean, and it also has its own cooling function.

In the old days, most nuclear power plants were built near the ocean.

Although there are some inside the continent, there are only a few of them, and they are specially built to support underground shelters. Their main purpose is not to promote the wandering of the earth.

Among the remaining planetary engines in the northern hemisphere, those that were still operational at the time have been divided up by the late third-order celestial kings and later gods.

However, in the War of the Gods and the subsequent War of the Gods, most of these engines suffered serious damage due to their large size and had to be dismantled and used as spare parts.

Finally, after the birthday of the God, the world war subsided and the Holy Spring Cult obtained eight small engines and one large main engine.

The Northern Giant Enterprise Alliance, inherited from the Evolution Alliance, controls as many as thirty planetary engines that are still in operation.

However, as the times change, they have become the power core of major mobile cities, and are no longer jet devices with fixed bases.

At the same time, operating power is maintained at the most basic level as demand decreases.

Seeing this, Lin Feng thought of the city-class battleship on the town-class battleship.

According to the chief assistant priest, the corresponding disaster level is above the city destruction level, and there is also the country destruction level.

Correspondingly, above the city-level battleships, there should also be the highest-level mobile base, the national-level battleships.

However, for a moving object of this level, the word "battleship" is not enough to describe its hugeness and grandeur. It should be called a moving castle.

The diameter is estimated to be over one kilometer.

It is also equipped with a nuclear fusion device as the driving force for this million-ton city to move forward.

The church received a total of nine engines.

It corresponds exactly to the eight dioceses today, as well as the kingdom of God on earth where the Lord of the Holy Spring originally resides.

This is also confirmed in the subsequent introduction.

Nine dismantled engines are used as the core power of the mobile city, driving the huge urban cluster forward across the wasteland.

Even thousands of years later in the wasteland era, large settlements continued to operate.

And the content of the first chapter ends here.

Lin Feng pinched his brows and looked at the second major event in the first year of the old calendar, the record about the Age of Gods...

A voice came from the intercom in my arms:

"Is Archon Lin still here? The second-level arena competition begins the next day. Please come to the command and control room."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He had only been watching for less than two hours, so how come it was already the next day?

Then he looked at the old clock hanging on the wall.

Looking at the time displayed above, it was just past midnight, and now it was already early morning of the next day.

In other words, the competition for the second-level evolution started right from the early morning.

Li Mingquan, who had just been chatting with him in the VIP box, was probably about to go on stage!
Lin Feng frowned. Something must have happened that caused one of the parties in the competition to choose to proceed early.

"How long until the game starts?"

Lin Feng picked up the intercom and replied.

"There are still forty minutes until the game starts. According to the rules, it will start at one o'clock sharp."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask about the arrangements at the church, but then he thought better of it.

He then informed the other party of the results of his discussion with Li Mingquan.

The High Deacon was entrusted with such an important task by the Bishop, and was the real commander of the command and control room and the actual captain of the Oasis battleship. He must be Bishop Zhang Hui's confidant.

There must also be a direct link between the two.

Telling her the information would be equivalent to telling the bishop.

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng immediately closed the book, left the bishop's secret room, and came to the church area.

I found Shen Yue who was about to rest, and through her I contacted Zheng Yanying who was still on duty.

Now Shen Yue is a late-stage first-level evolver like her, an elite aide-de-camp and an elite priest, and they are already on equal footing.

Lin Feng asked for someone, the canteen owner Rong Yan, to rescue his son.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zheng Yanying frowned slightly.

This young Shangmin named Rong Xuan did not sleep last night, but went to a house to attend a secret meeting held by traitors.

It contains banned content that promotes resistance against the church.

And this is not Rong Xuan’s first time participating. He was introduced to it several years ago.

One of the senior traitors.

It just hasn't been put into action yet.

At this moment, he has been stripped of his status as a commoner. After the competition is over, he will be sentenced to slavery and handed over to the Holy City.

In this matter, Zheng Yanying does not have the right to deal with it on her own.
