Chapter 11

An old pirate spaceship passed through the vast sea of stars and finally entered the atmosphere of a blue planet.

This was the spacecraft under Li Wenyuan’s control. It had returned to the mother planet from the Coribo Trading Station with a full load.

[Energy facility: Area A9, level four singular point]

[Missing materials for repair: 1 gram of Czero]

Li Wenyuan felt very helpless when he saw that this facility, which was the easiest to repair, still lacked materials.

“Is shutting down the automatic defense system and supplying energy to the industrial zone the only way? Such a method of shifting resources around will take too long… Is there any way to get Czero without going through those idealistic civilizations?”

The thought of those faerie-like aliens being able to read the thoughts of his digitized consciousness sent chills down Li Wenyuans spine. If he was caught off guard, they might even learn the color of his underwear.

While thinking, Li Wenyuan pulled up records on Czero in the database.

[Czero]

[Introduction: An inert gas that will not react with most substances. It seems that only idealistic civilizations know how to use Czero correctly.]

“Only idealistic civilizations know how to use Czero correctly… So why do you need this to repair an energy facility?”

Li Wenyuan couldn’t figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. Just as he was about to close the interface with a sigh, he suddenly saw a new green notification displayed above the many red warnings.

Out of curiosity, he clicked on the notification, and the contents made his breathing pause.

[Rare resources detected on the planet: Czero]

[Please handle it in time.]

“This is… So I’ve searched high and low only to find it without any effort?” Li Wenyuan didn’t expect there to be Czero on his home planet. He was very surprised. It was like the heavens were on his side.

Then, he checked Czero’s location.

“This place is…” As Czero’s location was gradually enlarged in the virtual world, Li Wenyuan had a strange look in his eyes.

If Czero was there, things would be interesting.

At this moment, Lilian, who was in the middle of her daily prayer, sneezed and looked around in confusion.

…

“So you’re saying that as long as you pray every day, you will exhale this gas?”

Upon hearing the Administrator’s question, Lilian nodded while trembling.

When she was suddenly called over, she had thought that she had done something wrong, so she was now very timid.

Li Wenyuan, on the other hand, fell into shock. He felt that he had learned something that subverted his understanding.

After having a synthetic soldier scan the female furry in front of him time and time again, he confirmed that the other party was just an ordinary creature.

But to think she could naturally produce Czero! Li Wenyuan found it hard to understand.

“This is unbelievable. Do you know where this purple gas comes from?” He tried asking, but when he saw Lilian’s blank eyes, he understood everything.

“Forget it, we’ll talk about this later. Go back and settle down first. If you have any needs, you can ask. Remember to say my name when you’re praying in the future. I’ll arrange for someone to collect this gas, understand?”

“I, I understand…” Lilian shrunk her head back, and her beast ears with the brainwave converter twitched uneasily.

Li Wenyuan sighed when he saw how scared she was. He wondered if it was because he had put too much effort into his performance earlier. Then, he asked a synthetic soldier to take out a small electronic device that looked like a cell phone.

It was a game console that the synthetic soldiers on the planet had found while clearing the ruins. It seemed to be a museum collection.

After scanning it, he found that there were many future versions of classic games on it, probably used by humans of that era to kill time.

“This is for you. Take it as a thank-you gift for helping me out. You’ll know how to use it after you check it out. You’ll be addicted to it in a few days.”

He believed that Lilian, who had never seen the world before, would soon be addicted to it until she was transformed into a gaming geek by the computer games that were beyond her understanding.

After that, Li Wenyuan focused his energy on repairing the level four singular point.

Other than the synthetic soldiers, there were only a small number of maintenance robots on the planet.

He couldn’t even find the machines needed to build large buildings, so he had no choice but to let the synthetic soldiers, who were tough-skinned and didn’t need sleep or rest, take on all the tasks.

And so, as time passed by, the day came when the level four singular point was fully repaired.

Looking at the huge building standing on the ground, Li Wenyuan’s eyes were filled with tears.

How long has it been? He was finally about to complete one of the small goals he had set when he came to this world, and that was to not worry about energy.

The repaired level 4 singular point occupied an astonishing 10000 square kilometers in area. It was even larger than an ordinary city and occupied the entire area A91. It could be said that area A91 existed for the sake of this building.

Rather than calling the level 4 singular point a building, it would be more appropriate to call it a massive group of buildings. Complex and complicated pipes connected different functional areas, while circuits for the transfer and transmission of energy were spread all over the place.

Before the repair was completed, Li Wenyuan couldn’t help but be thankful that the damage to the level 4 singular point wasn’t serious. Basically, only the key nodes had problems. The 50000 tons of strengthened alloy had been just enough.

If it were the repairs of any other facility that was on the verge of destruction, this amount of alloy was nothing.

“Well then, it’s time to witness the results…”

Li Wenyuan controlled the synthetic humanoids to slowly walk into a tower in the center of the facility.

This tower was the core of the level 4 singular point. The entire 10000 square kilometers of land was only for this tower which was less than 5000 square meters.

In the tower, the synthetic humanoids gradually neared an energy core that was suspended mid-air in a multi-layered cubic space.

The level 3 energy core that he had obtained from the previous deal had been used for this. At the same time, the next step was also the most important.

A synthetic humanoid held a special can filled with purple gas and inserted it into the interface. With that, the gas inside flowed into the cubic space with the change in pressure and gradually wrapped around the energy core.

The small can of Czero gradually filled the entire cubic space. Its color did not fade from beginning to end, still maintaining the mysterious and ethereal color.

Following this, the cubic space controlled the gas and energy core inside and began to spin faster and more densely.

As the electric current passed through the cubic space and hit the high-speed rotating gas inside, an explosion rang through the entire facility.

With that, the interior of the cubic space was now empty, and the Czero gas and energy core seemed to have been an illusion.

However, at this moment, a huge amount of energy passed through the center of the cubic space, and an almost undetectable “point” was constantly overflowing.

The buzzing of the facility starting up started from the level four singular point and spread out bit by bit.

The passages that had not been activated for a long time trembled with the surge of energy. The dust scattered, revealing the secrets that had been buried for many years.

It was as if the entire planet had come to life due to the supply of energy, and it was beginning to glow with vitality again.

In the virtual world, Li Wenyuan looked at the soaring energy production and finally smiled.

[Current energy production of the planet: 120000 energy units.]

[Energy consumption of the automatic defense system: 800 energy units]

[Energy consumption of data damage facilities: 72000 energy units]

…

[Current approximate energy income: 20050 energy units]

“The energy produced by this level four singular point is really scary! That being said, since scientific research and industrial planning have been restarted, the next step is to consider that thing in the sky.”
