"What led you to this conclusion?"

"Use your still-intact brain to think for yourself. You returned to Shangshu from Yumen and haven't left the house for years. We thought it was because your sense of time was different from others, that you'd dreamt of a thousand years, but look what happened—"

As a result, after attending psychology classes and reading a lot about PTSD patients, and even learning bad manners and becoming bolder from the rude workers in the factory, I finally understood what was going on with this sister's situation.

She used to travel around, visiting Jiangnan, learning swordsmanship, seeing the desert, and walking through the wilderness. Later, she settled in Shangshu and stopped moving. It was said to be due to the influence of the Three Mountains and Eighteen Peaks Formation or the constraints of the Si Sui Terrace. But with her abilities, she could go anywhere she wanted and leave anywhere she wanted.

Ultimately, it's just that the PTSD caused by guarding the border back then has led to social anxiety. Looking at the soldiers speaking different accents, the comrades who usually chat and laugh, and the brave general, it's not that today we're listening to the flute playing our hometown tunes together, but tomorrow we find that the camp is missing one person forever.

In the blink of an eye, the once robust man became an old man with blurred vision who could no longer even hear clearly.

The more they interact, the deeper their feelings become, and the more severe the pain caused when the long-lived and short-lived part. Xi chose to create her own world in her paintings, but she couldn't do that, so she could only express her feelings through landscapes and poetry.

As for Nian, that's just her personality. If she can't figure something out, she simply won't think about it. Every encounter is a new friend. The passing of old friends does have an impact on her, but she's just more open-minded about it.

"You seem... a little different?" The woman was somewhat puzzled. She didn't like too many changes, so she was very sensitive to them.

"Nonsense, you're with a bunch of hot-tempered foremen, looking at a bunch of people whose brains are no bigger than walnuts, not even as big as lizards. Sorry, I may have insulted lizards."

In short, you're not even as smart as a cockroach. After making all sorts of novel mistakes that even I find a bit too creative and original, you'll end up like that too!

"Hehe." The woman chuckled but didn't say anything.

"Anyway, come over here quickly. There are some things that can't be explained here, and can't be discussed here. Let's talk face-to-face about serious matters!"

"Hmm!" The woman didn't ask any further questions, and nodded. Since that was the case, then she had no choice but to set off.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Zhen Dan is Very Zhen Dan

Chapter 38

Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, she couldn't care less about anything else and had to take action herself, as Ling's abilities were quite special.

Unlike her sisters, she did not use the power of the Sagittarius constellation; the power did not come from Originium or anything else, but from herself.

Scattered, they become the wind; gathered, they form a shape. If the other "gods" merely use the entire Terran Originium Arts that fit their "domain" through the Sailboat constellation to obtain an artificial body, then Rei's domain is herself.

To give an analogy, Nian and Xi are like a production line with countless freely combinable relics of the ancients. They can utilize environmental materials and Originium energy in a way that is completely different from that of the Terrans. Nian is like a "light industrial mech". As long as there are enough Originium particles and materials, she can easily create all kinds of equipment.

Originium Field is like her cutting tool, drill, and welding machine, as if she created the machine out of thin air, while Yui seems to be some kind of giant holographic force field projector and associated computing array.

One is responsible for the work and organizing production, the other for preserving the blueprint and providing spiritual comfort—so what about Ling?

She is responsible for providing the raw materials, which are the key Originium particles themselves. Her body is made up of Originium particles, and her consciousness operates on this array.

Therefore, no obstacle exists for her, because she is essentially not on the same level as most people.

Any gap smaller than the diameter of the smallest Originium particle is a path for her.

Similarly, as long as there are substances containing Originium particles in the environment, it is an incredibly simple matter to decompose and reassemble one's own body.

Not only the body, but also any other object not exceeding a certain mass, including clothes, lanterns, etc. Unlike Xi and Nian, she can completely restore all the senses of a normal person—

Taste, appetite, touch, etc., can smell fragrance, can taste the flavor of delicious food and strong liquor, can see food and feel appetite, and live most like a "human".

Therefore, Nian and Xi didn't really like seeing her, not because they were afraid, nor because she was strict, but because every time they saw Ling, they would think of very unhappy things. Her existence was like a reminder to them that the world of these normal people was a different world from theirs.

Ling is not an aggregate like Lao Xia's nanomachines, or rather, her true form is the control field that relies on the constantly shifting Originium Cluster.

In other words, the size of this information entanglement field determines her maximum volume and size, while its energy level determines the maximum range of Originium particles she can control.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the Order is the best weapon for the Great Yan to deal with demons or sea monsters, if she is willing to guard the border.

Neither demons nor sea creatures would find it easy to deal with something that almost doesn't exist in four-dimensional spacetime.

Year can be killed, and so can Evening. Even if their true forms don't die, their bodies will be destroyed. And it's hard to say whether there are any spare bodies available on Terra.

However, Ling cannot be killed unless the Ark, the Ark Data Core, and the antenna array used by the Ark to launch this effect field are destroyed.

Otherwise, even if you destroy this effect field, it won't help. She only needs to recalibrate the antenna array to create one or even countless more in Terra.

As long as there are Originium particles in the environment, they are her eyes, ears, and sensors, as well as her power tentacles. She is the largest and only "particle restraint device" on the Ark.

If I had to put it into words, she was close to the control unit of Xia Lin's disassembled warp drive, and the warp gravity field was her avatar on Terra, only this field was replaced with the Originium Information Effect Field.

Unless you blow up the engine or destroy the mainframe, even if you interfere with the force field and cause it to collapse, it will be of no use.

Since recalibrating and recreating one is not difficult, removing the force field effect at the current position and recalibrating the matrix to create a new coordinate system is even simpler.

This is why it is fearless of any seal or obstacle, and can come and go as it pleases, whether it is a prison or a measure imposed by the evening or the year.

This technology was originally intended for the pioneering work of Starship-1, for the purpose of environmental terraforming and exploration of target planets over extremely long distances.

It was also an attempt by the Terrans to bypass the light speed trap. They calibrated the effect field, created an avatar in the target space, transferred their consciousness information to the avatar, and destroyed the original. This achieved the ability to quickly transfer and teleport in the universe without relying on a material carrier.

It was later discovered that transmitting information also required energy. Transmitting information across thousands of light-years, let alone a massive flow of information like transferring consciousness, would require the Terrans to pay a huge energy cost, and was almost impossible to achieve.

"God" has disintegrated, and now the wet component brains of each control block are doing their own thing, each with their own control area and permissions, and Ling's permissions are perhaps the most peculiar one.

"What important matter?" The matrix was calibrated, the force field was reprojected, and a blue-haired woman appeared before Nian as if she had stepped out of the void.

"I remember you're a wine expert?"

"Hmm? Indeed, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'm definitely an enthusiast." Ling nodded. "Is it related to this matter?"

“Ethanol fuel and other energy systems exist. You are in charge of the Ark’s energy power and the entire internal maintenance force field. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten your job.”

"There is not enough ethanol, and the atmosphere is full of Originium particles that cannot be maintained by controlled reactions. Their energy absorption and release reactions under different external environments and stimuli are almost impossible to calculate."

"Enough, I have atomizing agent..."

Where did it come from?

"Given to me by someone else."

"Hmm... let me think about it." Ling pondered for a few minutes. "How do we solve the problem of Originium deposits? It's true that precipitating Originium particles in atomized fuel to reduce their chaotic effect and improve engine stability and thermal power can help, but how do we solve the problem of Originium deposits? This is not as simple as the carbon deposit problem of the past. You know better than I do about the hardness of Originium particles and the deposition and crystallization growth process."

Carbon deposits are manageable, but dendrites can truly cause an engine to explode in an instant. Dendrites can quickly pierce the engine cylinders and even the fuel lines, and the electric arc can instantly ignite the fuel in the carburetor and fuel injectors, followed by a spectacular explosion.

"One-way permeable filter discharge" "Let's not even talk about where you're going to get a one-way permeable filter now, have you thought about the high-altitude particle problem?"

Ling rubbed his forehead. "Why the hell didn't you let me make you a picture of an arc reactor?"

If you can get your hands on those parts that Terra can no longer produce, I'll give you an engine blueprint today that will make mobile cities fly in the sky.

“There’s nothing we can do about the other parts, but what do you think this place I brought you here makes?” Nian looked at her elder sister with disdain. “This isn’t Shangshu; times change very quickly here…”

"Automated filter production system?" Only then did Ling realize that behind the glass wall next to him was a complete automated high-speed ultra-clean filter production workshop. The chemical system quickly fed the round material stacks into the processing equipment, and the final product was a filter membrane with a two-dimensional structure like graphene, which was then combined together at a certain angle.

"Water purification filter can filter out most water-soluble mineral particles, and it's also fine for filtering fuel."

"But what about the problem of high-altitude Originium particles penetrating? We can filter out particles that are clustered together, but what about high-energy particles penetrating?"

"It's for ground vehicles; the density isn't that high..."

"Huh?" When Ling heard that it was about engines and fuel, she thought that she was going to make things difficult for herself by rebuilding the spaceship, but it turned out to be just a ground fuel system.

"Yeah, and you won't provide the aircraft engines either, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I didn't expect such a dense network of 'sunshades' to form high in the sky. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it."

What about the control link?

"Go check with the Year Beast and see if it has it. It's the control center, I'm not." Ling shrugged, indicating that she shouldn't ask Ling about this trivial matter.

"Okay, you still remember the blueprints for the reactor?"

"From a starship? Or from the old city?"

"It will be all right!"

"Um...you're planning to pull off a miracle with brute force? What about the engine?"

"We have gravity engines and electric arc jet engines."

"Huh?" Ling was stunned. How many years had he been in Shangshu? Where did you guys get this gravity engine? Are you kidding me?

"They found it. The Agorians are still searching the sea to see if they can find another one..."

Although Lao Xia's advice was not to waste his time, the explosion of several hundred kilograms of antimatter would vaporize the entire spaceship.

However, it cannot be ruled out that when the spacecraft fell, it broke into several pieces in the atmosphere and fell separately, with one or two larger pieces of debris not being evaporated by antimatter.

"If it weren't for some unforeseen circumstances, theoretically, we would now have at least 800 kilograms of antimatter fuel, a city-level gravity engine, four or five faster-than-light engines, and a large amount of production and construction equipment."

Nian shrugged. "But now, this is all that's left. So, just tell me, are you in or not?"

"I need to see something first. Also, this matter is a bit... Let's deal with the ethanol fuel engine issue first."

A few days later, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was established. Yes, that's right, it was called the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It didn't mean the Integration Movement, but rather an organization that integrated the industrial and agricultural output of the entire Kazdel and redistributed the supply.

A new small vehicle has emerged, a very classic one that even the Star Alliance hasn't completely phased out. It can be seen in various tourist attractions and even the space station, so much so that many retro enthusiasts have driven up its price to an extremely high level—the sidecar motorcycle.

Popular from World War II to the interstellar era, the sidecar can carry people or cargo, but the most common use is for carrying tourists. Its distinctive chugging sound can be seen in many places, including space stations.

Of course, the latter is usually an illegal modification, since fossil fuel vehicles are prohibited on the space station—the air circulation system cannot handle such a large load.

In addition, there are also ordinary tricycles with a large cargo bed, which are a lifesaver for Sarkaz peasant women. With their able-bodied men away fighting, even the strongest and most robust Sarkaz women find it difficult to endure the hardships of agricultural production.

At the very least, even with high automation—automatic threshing, drying, and bagging—you still have to figure out how to get it into the barn yourself. Large farms have trucks, but small ones don't, and vehicle manufacturers are currently focused on the front lines.

Ensuring everyone still has tractors and combine harvesters is already enough to make Minister Snow Pheasant lose his hair; to also guarantee the availability of transport trucks would be too much to ask.

Whether it's bicycles, tricycles, or handcarts, none of them seem to be enough to meet the enormous amount of crops harvested in summer.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture's estimates, disregarding the damage caused by war, the climate has improved due to the restoration of barren mountains and water conservancy projects in recent years, resulting in another bumper harvest this year.

The crops have begun to fill out and turn white; judging from their heavy appearance, they are basically reaching the average designed yield of Lao Xia's high-yield seeds.

Otherwise, if the numbers are consistently lower than the average every year, it might infuriate the bigwigs at the Star Alliance Agricultural Research Institute, and they might even come with weapons to fight these guys who are "killing the land".

The good news is that Kazdel will not lack food this year; in fact, there will be surplus for brewing, sugar making, and other things. The bad news is that due to a shortage of able-bodied young labor, the remaining women, children, and elderly on the farm are all unable to move the grain into the barn using traditional methods before the rains.

Let's not even discuss the problem of animals like rats stealing the food over time. With such a large pile of food on the threshing floor, it would be strange if birds and rats weren't tempted.

Unfortunately, these tricycles have only just started production and the capacity has not yet been fully utilized. Even if the farmers waved their money around, it was difficult to buy one. Those who were lucky enough to manage to buy one were even more arrogant, as if they could walk sideways with impunity.

This infuriated the already petty old women, whose eyes turned red. They lined up early, determined to get a truck before the harvest. Otherwise, not only would they lose face, but they would also be embarrassed!

While labor can be provided for the whole family to work from dawn till dusk, losing face and becoming a laughing stock in the village is not so easy to salvage.

"Ethanol fuel is good, but do you have that much grain?" Ling was also a little worried about this issue. The people of Da Yan were already the most focused on agriculture. Among all the countries in Terra, no matter how incompetent the court and gentry of Da Yan were, they still cared about agriculture.

Therefore, the food shortage problem in the Great Yan is much better than that in other countries. At least there is no problem in terms of production capacity. The man-made problems are another matter, rather than the hardware-related problem of not being able to guarantee that everyone is fed.

"Why do you think they're panic buying?" Nian rolled his eyes. "Because if they don't manage to get a truck, the grain will just rot in the fields and they'll never be able to move it all. And what do you think that stuff over there is?"
