Regarding the snowmen in the Glass Palace, Ice Pot also has limited knowledge.

"CEO, that cavity's intensity has reached the Transmutator Level, I can't get close."

"What can be observed is that the snowman walks around inside the glass structure."

The employee who returned from Mars explained: "I consulted with two Light Core Bodies of the Star Axis. They said that the creature should not be made of snow or ice, it conducts electricity, and electric cats can pass through it."

"It's just that the temperature in that area is extremely low, below -260℃."

"They also cannot get close to the cavity, but the effects of the cavity on the surroundings are quite obvious."

"The area below is shrouded by the power of the cavity, dust storms cannot approach, and both the Dead Sea and the radiation are severely restrained. That's why Star Axis chose that place as their stronghold to build a base."

Zhou Yi frowned.

A white low-temperature solid that isn't snowflakes, yet a conductor, he had never seen such a creature before.

"What is the background of the two Light Core Bodies of the Star Axis?"

Ice Pot said: "Among the two I interacted with, one of them is the Sky Patrol Telescope – you could say it's part of the Old King. It connects to satellites and provides us with extensive local intelligence through ultra-long-range observation of Mars."

Zhou Yi asked: "A Light Core Body of Mechanical Life?"

"Yes."

Ice Pot continued: "The other is Alonzo; it was originally a Bone Man involved in the world war that the United Resistance Army fought against the Heavenly People."

"During the battle against the Light Core Giants, Alonzo's satellite deployed signal jamming and consciousness attacks, but it also tangled with the consciousness of the Light Core Giant..."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "Alonzo is a Bone Man, how did it enter the satellite?"

"That's how it was, CEO."

The atmosphere creature explained: "In the early days, Star Axis incorporated new members by using Light Imprint rockets to propel the Old King's manned spacecraft, sending selected Bone Men into the Old King's body."

"This method was extremely costly and had risks of rocket launch failures or crashes. So, back then, the Bone Men who could be sent into space were the elites among the Star Core Electors."

"After entering the Old King's Tiangong Space Station, these Bone Men would participate in the core matrix operations under the direct guidance of the Old King. They were also the earliest data electors who controlled their respective satellites to fight against the Light Core Giants."

"During the war, Alonzo got entangled with the Light Core Giant's consciousness. The satellite and the Light Core Giant remained relatively stationary in orbit. Sometimes the Light Core Giant controlled the satellite, sometimes the satellite controlled the Giant."

"Such situations were common back then. Usually, the satellites would fall into chaos and had self-destructive tendencies. They had to continuously increase the number of data electors to maintain signal stability and independent consciousness."

"But Alonzo was an exception."

Ice Pot said: "For reasons unknown, it fused directly with the Light Core Giant. The satellite and the Giant became two sides of the same entity. Alonzo flew away from the satellite cluster and Earth with the Light Core Giant as far as possible."

"After exhausting its energy, Alonzo fell to the nearest Mars. Later, when the war ended, the Old King found it based on Alonzo's signal, discovering it under the cavity in a mountain on Mars. That was the safest place, where the Light Core Giant was also the most stable."

Zhou Yi listened attentively.

So there was such a backstory behind the Mars development.

He further confirmed: "So, Alonzo has effectively become a Light Core Giant now?"

"Yes."

Ice Pot said: "There, it is mainly responsible for guarding the camp and sending the collected Light Seeds to Earth."

"However, Alonzo itself doesn't cross over; it uses the Giant's arm to carry the Guangna Box through the passage, and there are designated personnel on Earth to receive it."

In Zhou Yi's mind, a picture of the Mars Base took shape.

Beneath the cavity, the Light Core Giant acts under the Star Axis camp, which is the Golden Elephant Shepherds' territory, and even the Heavenly People cannot set foot there.

This was indeed an advantage.

Zhou Yi collected his thoughts: "Tell me about our situation over there."

"Regarding this, let Pikachu report to you."

After Ice Pot finished speaking, a ball of arc lightning shot out from its body and landed on Zhou Yi's shoulder.

"CEO, Pikachu has completed the task."

"In this Mars mission, none of our 8 electric cats were injured, and we have established preliminary cooperation with some Mars electric cats."

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow: "How did you manage that?"

The electric cat made a series of crackling sounds, which was their laughter.

"Ice Pot took us there. We arrived at the Star Axis Base and learned about the local conditions. Then we found a local dust storm near the base and jumped in."

"At first, everyone was very nervous, but fortunately, it was safer and more stable inside than we expected. The voltage was high, providing a premium high-energy charged environment."

"The high-speed friction between dust particles in the storm transfers charges, making the particles charged. The extremely dry and thin atmosphere favors static electricity accumulation and prevents its dissipation."

The electric cat vividly described: "We met the local electric cats inside. Meanwhile, at the base, Ice Pot and Mr. Alonzo used the local sand to make glass, creating Curved Houses, Cat Houses, and Electrolysis Cat Boxes."

Zhou Yi inquired: "Electrolysis Cat Boxes require water. Did you find water on Mars?"

"There's water there!"

Pikachu said: "Mars has ice caps at both poles, with plenty of water ice and dry ice. Ice Pot transported a large amount of ice back to make the Electrolysis Cat Boxes, although the hydrogen and other chemicals produced could not be collected and would naturally dissipate."

"The key point is that Cat Houses and Electrolysis Cat Boxes are the living facilities electric cats love. The local Mars electric cats didn't have these, so we invited them to try them out."

"A part of them immediately fell in love with our setups."

"I told them that if they worked with us, they would get independent Cat Houses, recreational Electrolysis Cat Boxes, and the opportunity to become official company electric cats to enjoy a better living environment in our world."

"During that dust storm, 21 electric cats helped us collect the moving light seeds picked up by the storm, collecting a total of 1.1 million light seeds in a month."

Pikachu gleefully reported: "CEO, after splitting with the Star Axis, our company gets 550,000 light seeds! That's just from a small dust storm. If we collect from medium and large dust storms, or even global dust storms, the profits would be astronomical!"

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

Things went more smoothly on Mars than expected, and the profitability of light seed ore development was astonishing.

His primary concern was: "Are the Mars electric cats that easy to persuade? It feels different from the Spark Plain."

"CEO, you noticed the key point!"

Pikachu seemed to be pleased with being recognized: "The electric cats on Spark Plain are low voltage high current types. They have high birth rates, large numbers, high electrical environment requirements, and significant transmission losses."

"Our company's working electric cats are high voltage low current types, skilled in long-distance transmission and running. They require lower conductivity, have high intelligence, but low birth rates."

"The Mars electric cats are the same type as us. The Mars environment only suits electric cats like us that can transmit over long distances and run, otherwise they couldn't jump from one dust storm to another before the storm dissipates."

"The electric cats there are intelligent; most have survived for over a hundred years. They can discern the quality of the information and things we provide, making communication very easy."

The electric cat's whole body stretched out its arcs, speaking lightly: "CEO, can we continue this approach of finding partners locally? This is beneficial for developing Mars dust storms, but we need to give Mars electric cats opportunities to become formal company employees."

"Do it. The company will allocate positions."

Zhou Yi immediately declared: "As long as they're excellent electric cats, regardless of background or rank, the company wants them. Their ability to withstand Mars' harsh environment means they have strong resilience and adaptability, traits the company values highly."

"That's great!"

Pikachu's whole body crackled and laughed with electricity again.

"CEO, there's a very promising electric cat from Mars named Ninety-seven. It's excellent at collecting light seed ore from dust storms, contributing over 30% of the light seeds this time alone."

"With Ice Pot's approval, I brought it here. I strongly recommend it!"

A golden orb in Ice Pot flickered, and another arc of lightning appeared.

Unlike Pikachu, this electric cat had two triangular ear-like arc structures. Under its cat head was a vortex formed by electric currents, looking like a small lightning tornado.

Zhou Yi reached out to it.

At first, it instinctively retreated a step, then hesitated and gradually approached, touching Zhou Yi's hand with its arc.

Energy input, consciousness resonance activated.

"Hello Ninety-seven, I'm Zhou Yi, I heard about you from Pikachu, welcome to the company."

"It's an honor to meet you, master of this place."

The Mars electric cat's voice was very polite.

Zhou Yi got straight to the point: "I'd like to invite you to join our Wasteland Development Company. If you agree, you'll receive all company benefits for employees. Working electric cats enjoy free medical care, at least two rounds of training and reinforcement, independent Cat Houses, Electrolysis Cat Boxes, and floating power generators. If you come up with inventions, you'll receive long-term patent royalties..."

He listed out the company's employee benefits.

"I'd love to!"

The Mars electric cat said: "I came here to see what another world is like. Ice Pot brought me here, and I found that here you can run everywhere without worrying about the dust storm disappearing or the threat of death."

"There are conductors everywhere here, it's very comfortable, nothing to worry about."

"I like it here. I hope to return to my home and tell my kind about everything here."

Zhou Yi smiled: "No problem. But first, take a break."

"You've all been working hard for a month. According to company's vacation policy, take 8 days off first. During these days, you can explore around; let Pikachu accompany you. If you have any questions or things you want to know, just ask it."

"Alright, thank you."

Pikachu also assured: "Leave it to me! I'll show you around!"

"Mining on Mars is tough work. During work, work hard, but when it's time to enjoy, enjoy to the fullest. That's life."

Zhou Yi waved his hand.

Ninety-seven didn't fly far before transforming into a ball of electric light and flashing back.

"CEO, actually, on Mars, we... are free-range. There is a certain overlord behind us."

Zhou Yi wasn't surprised: "The Golden Elephant Shepherds?"

"You know about their existence? So that's what they're called?"

The electric cat was astonished.

"We have traces of them here too," Zhou Yi told it: "But it seems they left a long time ago, I haven't seen them either."

"CEO, their voices still echo on Mars."

The Mars electric cat said solemnly.

Zhou Yi's heart tightened: "What are they saying?"

"They say..."

The Mars electric cat said: "You all can do whatever you want, I'm outta here!"

"..."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Did the Golden Elephant Shepherds get tired of raising electric cats and just leave them?
