The fixed star channel is essentially using a four-dimensional space for rapid cross-regional direct access.

In four-dimensional space, time is visual and omnipresent, like countless cells in the organs of space.

Yongli hitchhiked through it.

Thus, many confusions arose.

After Zhou Yi gained a new understanding of time, he turned his attention back to Yongli's consciousness and memory.

He traversed a shortcut through four-dimensional space.

Yongli's one-dimensional consciousness reached a brand new star system.

Fortunately, after dimensional reduction, the things that could be observed and recorded weren't compromised, only the proactive capability was lost.

This star system has three stars, besides the weakest Proxima Centauri, there are two other binary stars orbiting each other, with energy density far exceeding Earth's.

Yongli shuttled across the planets here, repeatedly refracting through one-dimensional space holes.

The source of the Circular Flow here is the larger of the binary stars, the other two merely serve as refraction and reflection roles.

Yet it's enough to drift the entire star system.

Yongli finally stopped on a planet filled with atmosphere.

It has abundant liquid water and what seems to be a form of inorganic life.

They resemble the Rock Core Clan, existing in rock and mineral form, with their movement limited to geological ones like uplift and collapse, akin to a whack-a-mole game.

These mountain-like life forms poke their heads, retract, and press, seemingly always like this.

They continually release consciousness information, exchanging and thinking with each other, but all processes are exceedingly slow, just like a bunch of mountain-shaped sloths.

Zhou Yi couldn't confirm.

Whether they are individual entities or part of some life form.

So he asked the Golden Tree.

[I don't know either.]

[The Golden Tree is only aware of the situation within its radiation range, that's Proxima Centauri's territory, only it knows the specific conditions.]

[However, if it's a one-dimensional consciousness visit and travel, it doesn't affect various places, because it cannot interfere with local movements, so it's okay not to worry about these things. By wandering around more, you should understand.]

Indeed.

The urgent matter at hand is still to transform the Heavenly People; Proxima Centauri is already a neighbor outside the Milky Way.

As the saying goes, clean up the house before bringing in guests.

This fantastic journey greatly boosted Yongli's confidence, and it very resolutely stated: "I want to promote and systematically perfect immortality."

"The Dead Sea Park and fixed star channel are important basic conditions for immortality; they've proven the possibility of leaving the Milky Way in a short time and entering the outside world."

"I want to first lead the old humans to become proficient in this process."

Zhou Yi happily agreed.

...

In the next two months, collaboration with three proxies unfolded simultaneously.

Relying on the company's well-developed infrastructure, coupled with the mature technology and capability of the proxies, both sides quickly completed the integration of strengths.

Among them,

The special food factory was the most immediate.

The Gemstone technology patent provided by the Gluttonous Duke requires over 40,000 gemstones for support. It resembles a giant snail shell in appearance, with three production lines inside, each corresponding to enhancing defense, life, and energy properties.

The Gemstone factory tends to overheat and overload easily; to prevent excessive wear on the gemstones themselves and over-processing of food leading to radiation, it needs to shut down for 12 hours after every 72 hours of operation.

The sellable product yield rate is about 78%.

Once the company received the relevant technical indicators, it immediately decoded them via mechanical life, where 703 played a significant role.

As it is a light core body mechanical life with gemstones as elements, and deeply bound to the artificial sun number 2, it embraces the advantages of both gemstone body and mechanical life.

After 703 conducted computational simulations, it optimized and corrected numerous defects within.

After its improvement, the gemstone factory's yield rate reached 95%, and the stable operating cycle extended to 950 hours, requiring only one day of shutdown for maintenance every 40 days.

A total of 10 factories were established within the Legal Front.

The production of special effect food skyrocketed.

Existing common ingredients, whether the most basic dried mushrooms, wheat cakes, beans, sweet potatoes, or various meat products and fruit canning, can be enhanced with special effects and turned into high-quality food that improves various life body fitness.

Relying on scale, pricing can be further reduced.

The Gluttonous Duke was very satisfied: "Mass production of special effect food has always been something I wanted to achieve; mass production means wide popularization, eventually achieving globalization, just like what old humans achieved in the past. It can make this commodity an indispensable necessity for everyone in everyday life."

"Just like the most common food, dried mushrooms, their cheapness is actually an advantage. Even now, many market towns still use mushrooms as a currency for market transactions."

"I just didn't expect that your esteemed company already has a mature grasp of the Gemstone technology… truly astonishing."

"Knowing so, I would've come by sooner."

The Gluttonous Duke chuckled.

Then there's the immortality training led by Yongli, with professionals in this direction officially named [Drifters]. They will eventually drift in the Circular Flow in one-dimensional consciousness, entering billions of stars in the universe.

Drifters can experience boundless freedom, but they also face the possibility of having no way home.

Countless unknowns lie ahead.

Pandas willing to take this professional direction were few, even after experiencing the taste of it. In the Heavenly Kingdom, they were no longer the royal family, but still had ample food and clothing, living a comfortable and quiet life.
