Wasteland Development Diary
Chapter 700 - 160: Biological Black Hole
Zhou Yi immediately asked Hei Fu to return to Sand Port and bring Jiong Hecang over.
This Condenser was quite prominent a few years ago, participating in many major company operations, such as the offensive and defensive battle in the Shuanghe Region and the bombing of Chuneng City and Spring City, playing a significant role.
However, as the company developed to a higher level and top-level combat strength transitioned to Light Core Bodies, the Condenser, still at A-level strength, began to lag behind.
To accelerate its transition into a Light Core Body, Zhou Yi purchased a [Light Absorption Monster Collector] at the All Things Expo and established a collection area in the Dead Sea. This special device was used to obtain a large number of Light Absorption Monsters, shortening the advancement time for the Condenser.
It has been nearly two years so far.
There was no news from that side, indicating that there has been no substantial progress.
About half an hour later.
The blue flame-shaped Jiong Hecang was brought over by Hei Fu, with three light points revolving around it. These were its Light Guards, one more than before, showing a form of growth.
"Chairman."
This Energy State Life asked as soon as it arrived: "You were looking for me?"
Zhou Yi said: "There's a situation now... would you be willing to try it?"
After hearing it, Jiong Hecang's Light Guards suddenly accelerated, spinning rapidly: "I am willing, willing!"
Zhou Yi further emphasized to it: "Although Qing Liu says there is no life risk in the entire process, there will still be a challenge because you need to use consciousness to control and guide those Mars Flying Sticks, which is not easy in itself. You are currently at the Skywalker stage, and need to cross two levels to touch the Transformer."
"It's like an ordinary person trying to put a collar on a D-level creature."
"Your consciousness intensity might make it very strenuous and difficult to control them. If they go berserk and lose control, it could even cause consciousness tearing and damage."
Jiong Hecang's body glowed brilliantly: "I'm not afraid."
"Chairman, I want to try it."
"If they are truly the same kind of life as me, then in terms of consciousness, we inherently have a lot of mutual coordination and cooperation, just like I do now."
It said: "Although I may seem like a single life form, I actually have three voices inside me, representing Jiong, He, and Cang. They symbolize different tendencies and personalities. The Condenser has extensive experience in this area, please trust me."
Zhou Yi nodded: "Alright."
Jiong Hecang was then captured by the Sea of Consciousness and drawn into the ring-shaped Seeder Ship.
Time passed by second by second.
Zhou Yi frequently glanced at the black diver on his wrist.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Ten minutes.
...
Until the 54th minute, he heard the voice of Qing Liu.
"Chairman, the basic process has been completed, there's one good news and one bad news."
"Start with the bad news."
Qing Liu said: "The bad news is the fusion failed. The level gap was too big, and the memory core connection couldn't be completed. Not even activating the seed repository of the Seeder Ship could help them undergo fusion transformation."
"The good news is, Jiong Hecang has formed a stable energy state connection with them in a special way."
Zhou Yi was taken aback: "Is that even possible? Are there any hidden dangers?"
"The Condenser itself is a life form birthed from Death Light Energy Consciousness; whether Condensers or Flying Sticks, their energy essence is the same, so there's no energy repulsion."
Qing Liu explained: "Though they couldn't achieve complete fusion, Jiong Hecang came up with the idea of using Light Guards. It constructed a Three-star Light Guard System, combining two Flying Sticks, one multi-state, one single-state, rotating closely with Jiong Hecang orbiting the center of mass of the two from afar, forming a binary + unary system."
"Due to the energy level differences among the three, the entire system could instead stabilize. Additionally, with Jiong Hecang's continuous energy regulation, it's able to maintain a long-term stable energy group whole."
Zhou Yi immediately asked Jiong Hecang to come out and demonstrate.
A ball of bright light flew out from the ring-like Seeder Ship.
At its core are two energy bodies contracted into deep black, surrounded by a layer of light; the edge of the central black star has blue and white halos, while the slightly smaller one only has a white halo.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that these halos are not emissions but the visual effect of energy and light being absorbed from the outside.
Compared to these two elder brothers, Jiong Hecang orbiting them seems more like their Light Guard underling.
This scene puzzled Zhou Yi.
He immediately asked Night God, who was still within the high-altitude Transformer: "Why do these two seem like black holes, unlike the Gemstone Transformer?"
"By the old human definition and description, Transformers themselves are mini black holes."
Night God responded: "Light Core Bodies convert matter into usable energy, while Transformers can generate matter from energy. At the Transformer stage, if they present an energy state, that's the primitive form of a black hole."
"Life, in essence, mimics nature's laws, and Transformers are the results of exploring black hole forces."
Zhou Yi suddenly understood.
Transformers are biological black holes.
"The Gemstone Transformer structure is based on a Heavenly People Gem, not pure energy state; the outer world cannot directly see its energy structure. However, if needed, a black hole region can form inside it, and hydrogen is also produced inside it."
Night God added: "But Jiong Hecang truly surprised me. I thought such low-to-high fusion was almost bound to fail."
"I didn't want to dampen your enthusiasm and was prepared to comfort you later, saying reaching this point was already quite impressive..."
"Because low energy-level life forms have too many limitations, it's like a human; it's impossible to hold back a creature as massive as a mountain."
"Yet reality told me such incredible things indeed happen."
She sighed: "Jiong Hecang used its energy structure to make the two Transformers orbit each other and then rotate around the perimeter itself. By leveraging its own changes, it pulls tiny forces to harness these two leviathans for its purpose."
"This requires extremely precise energy control and trajectory judgment, both of which Jiong Hecang is skilled at; measurement, light blade, wall are its three abilities, as I recall you mentioned."
"It cleverly created a unique energy lever group, turning the two Transformers into forces it could pry. It seemingly became their Light Guard, but actually the master of the control switch."
She softly remarked: "Although these Transformers, are remodeled into tools by breaking their consciousness by Seeders... but here's proof that humanity can really domesticate mountain-like supernatural monsters."
"In this world, only by trying can one know if it's possible."
Zhou Yi thought it best to remain cautious.
After all, these were two Transformers, one even multi-state; if they went berserk and out of control, a rampaging black hole... the consequences would indeed be hard to manage.
He asked Jiong Hecang himself: "Is this structure safe?"
"Chairman, rest assured, they are far more stable and safe than they appear."
At this moment, Jiong Hecang's voice was full of excitement: "Apart from the energy structural connection, I also established a consciousness-level connection with them."
"Though not a fusion, I discovered that their consciousness only holds the Seeder's command. It's to ensure no new Transformers appear on Mars and eliminate life forms approaching the Transformer level, so Electric Soul became the primary suppression target."
"However, there is a way to remove this command directly."
"Just by taking them beyond Mars, they won't be affected by this mechanism, and the related command cannot trigger. Normally, it would hardly be possible since to carry them off, one would have to be a Transformer stronger than both, and with the Seeder Ship constantly reinforcing this command."
"But if the Seeder Ship sends them to another planet, this command will deactivate due to lack of prerequisites and won't trigger. At that time, they will enter a complete self-consciousness dormant state, allowing me to directly dominate their consciousness."
"Chairman, I want to try this method to see if it's feasible."
"This is a skyrocket opportunity, and I want to seize it."
After carefully listening, Zhou Yi first sought Qing Liu's opinion.
The biggest concern was moving the Seeder Ship, leaving the Mars Base unprotected, exposed to dust storms and Killer Rat attacks, which would be too costly.
"Cultivator, rest assured, there's no issue like that."
Qing Liu responded: "The area division was planned by the Seeder from the beginning. The Seeder Ship is merely docked high above, and ground rules are not related to the Seeder Ship, but to that black void. I'm not sure what it is since there are no records, but it defines the area's strength and rules."
"So even if the Seeder Ship leaves, it won't locally affect here. As per Seeder's planned design, ultimately, every planet's cultivated hydrogen-based life will leave the nest after basic growth, embarking on its cosmic voyage."
Zhou Yi immediately felt relieved.
What else is there to say?
Let's do it!
