Zhou Yi tried to take out another complete LV4 level Light Core Energy Block and connect it with the one where the Cave People's descendants resided.
Just as Dong stated, the entire process was incredibly easy.
As long as their crystal faces were connected to each other, the two adhered firmly like strong magnets.
"Oh oh oh! This stable and dense high-intensity energy! We haven't replenished it in a very long time! This is great, truly great!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Thank you, world! Thank you, hope!"
Dong was very excited: "Thank you for extending your help to us! This energy will allow the shelter to maintain stability, enable 1600 Cave People to not be forced into hibernation, and most importantly, it gives everyone confidence that we can continue to survive."
However, this made Zhou Yi feel somewhat overwhelmed.
The complete Solid Cloud Elixir caused a life consumption of -100,000 per second to himself, and even though his savings were ample, he couldn't sustain this method.
The surrounding environment was also affected by this high-intensity energy body, reacting with the Four Seas to emit strands of white light, radiating like spider webs in all directions.
The Fog Dead Sea, propelled by it, started to rotate around the energy block and continued to accelerate.
An artificial rapids were forming and growing.
This couldn't go on.
"I need to place you in a special space to prevent affecting external life."
Zhou Yi stuffed the energy blocks into the stone legs of the Mad Traveler.
Things gradually returned to calm.
He tried holding the wooden handle of the prosthetic leg and asked in mind sync, "Can you hear me, Dong?"
"I can hear you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yi sighed with relief.
The prosthetic leg hadn't severed the connection with the consciousness field.
"Did you place us in a Space Bubble?"
"No, it's a device."
"So, it's a large energy device?"
"Just a special container for storing things."
"Casually containing Cloud Elixir! No wonder it's a great life civilization..."
Dong said from the other end: "Because we're connected to the Solid Cloud Elixir, it continuously stimulates and flows its energy, releasing more and faster energy than in stable periods. This is why the Cloud Elixir in our shelter keeps consuming."
"Our past solution was to place it in a Space Bubble, allowing us to direct energy externally through the Space Bubble. Whether moving things nearby, collecting sediment to build land, or creating solid-state tools and devices... this way, energy waste can be reduced. Waste is a very, very regrettable thing."
Zhou Yi strongly agreed, "Actually, I also hate waste the most."
"Right, refuse to waste! Intelligent life indeed has consensus!"
Dong happily said.
"So how does the Space Bubble release energy directionally?"
"I don't know..."
"..."
Zhou Yi's smile froze.
"Mr. Zhou, we need to read the descriptions and records from Record Land to know how to use these things. To use Solid Cloud Elixir properly is actually a highly complex technology; you need the corresponding solid-state tools to do it."
Dong explained: "We only know a simple operation. Just place the Solid Cloud Elixir in a Space Bubble, and it will stabilize and anchor itself, steadily supplying energy through the Space Bubble."
"Because the structure of the Solid Cloud Elixir was created to match the Space Bubble. All Cave People know this."
"But by doing so, the Space Bubble will also be blocked, and the power of the space channel will temporarily be unavailable for use until the Solid Cloud Elixir is moved or completely exhausted."
Zhou Yi felt inspired.
This was indeed a method worth trying.
If the energy blocks could be utilized, they could further boost the energy reserves. With the current large-scale construction due to the increasing number of Electric Cats, as well as the ongoing sea ventures advancing into the A level, and the major power consumers like Electric Soul... the company's power demands and consumption were also skyrocketing.
The Stone Molt Reactor was a good supplementation.
But it wasn't enough.
However, if the Light Core Level Solid Cloud Elixir could be put to use, it could significantly reduce the energy consumption pressure.
"If I place these two Solid Cloud Elixirs where you are into a Space Bubble, can you withstand it?"
"Of course, no problem."
Dong said: "Although we're fragile, the Solid Cloud Elixirs are very robust. They contain the shelters we built. We are very safe. Anyway, most of our shelters are placed in Space Bubbles; Space Bubbles are natural toolboxes we found in nature, and they have a wide range of uses."
Zhou Yi then mentioned, "The Space Bubble here has stimulated the growth of a Space Tree, I wonder if that would affect it?"
"Space Tree? What is that?"
The other party didn't understand.
Zhou Yi explained.
Dong said: "Oh, that. We call it the Space Channel Network. It is essentially the power of the space channels being stimulated and expanded into a network-like material structure. We also use it; its mesh structure is quite suitable for installing various tools. To get inside, just pass through the mesh and install us directly."
With that established, Zhou Yi immediately took action.
He took the prosthetic leg and hurried to the Space Bubble below the Moon Landing Area.
For safety, Zhou Yi asked everyone in the area to temporarily stop their work and take shelter in Sand Port.
Installing the energy blocks was easier than he thought.
As soon as the Light Core Level crystal neared, the black space channel network composed of Light Soot and Light Amber melted.
Zhou Yi easily entered the interior, approaching the black void.
Then, as Dong said, he released his grip up close.
The energy block slowly got absorbed into it, anchoring directly onto it.
Subsequently, rings of white light appeared around the entire void, intertwining with its original black color.
Zhou Yi's most direct feeling was that the radiation from the energy blocks had completely disappeared.
The continuously overflowing violent energy had been absorbed by the Space Bubble, merging them into one. The Space Tree, as an external extension, had locations all over its body to obtain energy—resembling a surface studded with electrical sockets.
It was very stable.
The challenge was how to harness this energy.
Yet, Zhou Yi had already planned in his mind.
He immediately communicated via mind sync and informed the Wuhu Elevated Bridge about it.
"Building life can transform external energy for its own use, so you can harness and utilize this portion of energy, right?"
The elevated bridge has now completed its encirclement of the entire Moon Landing Area, making it the ideal energy transfer station in Zhou Yi's mind.
"I'll give it a try."
A moment later.
"It is possible."
The elevated bridge responded vigorously: "Wow! The energy here is really exaggerated... Truly worthy of a LV4 Light Nuclear Energy Body!"
"The energy form conveyed by the Space Bubble is very pure, even purer and denser than the Light Seed, and it contains special elements that Light Seed does not have."
"I have a strange feeling... If I keep absorbing and expanding, I might transform into another form, a new, stronger, bigger, and faster phase."
"This is an impulse I've never had before... It's strange... It's hard to describe, this is a very... transcendent experience!"
Zhou Yi was somewhat taken aback.
He originally thought about stabilizing the energy blocks with the Space Bubble and then trying to convert them to supply electricity to the entire Moon Landing Area, which requires a huge amount of power.
It turns out this thing seems to have a strong evolutionary effect on Building Life.
Zhou Yi made a decision on the spot.
"Then focus on absorbing and transforming, don't worry about other things, the energy blocks in this Space Hole will be yours for now."
"Okay! I'll try to complete this special transformation process as quickly as possible."
"No rush, safety and stability are more important."
"Understood."
Wuhu Elevated Bridge hesitated for a moment, then finally said: "Chairman, thank you."
"We're all on the same team, if you have the opportunity, I'll definitely give you a push."
Zhou Yi smiled.
It's a simple truth.
Electricity can be provided by the Floating Heart and the Stone Molt Reactor, even if energy blocks are supplemented, it's just icing on the cake.
But the elevated bridge is directly touching another evolutionary path for Building Life.
That belongs to pioneering a new path.
Zhou Yi is full of anticipation.
I wonder what other evolutionary direction Building Life might take apart from atmosphere creatures.
...
The enhancement and evolution of the elevated bridge continued.
It grew some semi-transparent crystalline structures on its surface, like the bridge body excreting crystals, shining under the sun.
These crystals started from the Moon Landing Area and extended along the Wuhu Elevated Bridge, continuously sprouting and further solidifying.
The elevated bridge said it's fine.
"I'm in good condition now, please don't worry. The entire process still needs some time, I need to gradually adapt to the increasing intensity and modifications."
"Those crystals are unstable substances that are precipitated, they are impurities, and I am currently producing quite a few Stone Molt, which have a very high energy level..."
This is indeed good news.
The number of newly obtained Stone Molt has surged.
...
Energy blocks have brought a new opportunity.
Zhou Yi also didn't forget about the Cave People, continuously monitoring those fixed in the Space Bubble.
His initial idea was simple and crude.
To transform all the remnants of the Cave People into Fire Seed Life.
However, Xiao Fu said: "Da Zhou, this is very risky. Their life structures are too fragile to withstand the irradiation and compression of the Circumference Light Device, and many might die in this process. With this small amount, most could be depleted during the transformation."
So for the sake of caution, Zhou Yi abandoned this plan.
After all, only so few Cave People were left.
Zhou Yi began to look for other opportunities.
"Do you need anything else? Like food, for example?"
"Food? We're fine with just Solid Cloud Elixir."
Cave People find it hard to understand food.
"But if there is new life material, we'd very much welcome that. With new life, through exchange and connection, we gain more vitality."
"As long as it is placed on the Cloud Elixir, we can move there and capture and use it."
Zhou Yi brought a bunch of stuff over to try.
First was the Dead Sea Fruit.
This was originally produced where the Cave People were from, and he guessed that it might be easier for them to accept.
Furthermore, Dead Sea Fruit can be preserved in the Dead Sea.
When placed on the Cloud Elixir, the Dead Sea Fruit began to melt bit by bit, like lard put into a scorching hot frying pan. This melting seemed to be invisible, layer by layer devouring it.
Yet the eye could not discern the movement within the energy block.
The Cave People responded: "This life material, highly similar to us. Is it from our world?"
"Yes."
"It really makes one nostalgic... But can we try life material from your world?"
"Of course... but our food, when entering the Dead Sea environment of the Space Bubble, will perish quickly. There's no way to transport it over."
The Cave People said, "Then we will come out."
Zhou Yi was surprised: "You can come out?"
"Of course... but in the past, going out was useless for us and might even lead to faster death. Now with you protecting and rescuing us, we believe we can come out, at least some of us are willing to come out and touch new life locally. This has been the ultimate longing of the Cave People for many years."
Thus, the shell-like creature slowly moved out from the energy block, squeezing itself out bit by bit.
Zhou Yi pinched the shelter with his fingers, discovering this object was shell-shaped yet extremely precise in structure, with meticulous and regular patterns and pores, much like a miniature oval-shaped flying saucer.
He was just about to observe closely.
Suddenly, a scream came from inside.
The Cave People panicked: "Ah!! Monster, we've encountered a terrifying monster attack!!!"
