The Snowman prisoner in the Transparent Castle undoubtedly holds secrets, but right now, there's something more important.

Zhou Yi asked, "Where are those 12,117 electric cats now?"

So many wild electric cats being released, if they cause trouble everywhere, it would be a disaster sweeping across the land.

"Don't worry, Chairman, they are fine."

Mao Dali confidently said, "I have placed them all on Floating Island near the company. There, we have our company's power facilities as a temporary landing spot. They really like the Electrolysis Cat Box and the large Cat House, although the number of cats being so many did crowd the place a little."

"Surviving on Spark Plain is difficult for electric cats; otherwise, they wouldn't have come out with me."

"The Light Core Body electric cats monopolize the thunderclouds in the core layer and crazily exploit the ordinary electric cats. They periodically throw some electric cats into the Transparent Castle, where they must keep running and discharging electricity to barely maintain their survival features, becoming castle slaves."

"These castle slaves supply the central castle core, which is that white creature."

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

This was something he hadn't known before.

"Are the electric cats you brought out all castle slaves?"

"Yes! You get me, Chairman!"

Mao Dali angrily said, "The electric cats over there, if they can't become Light Core Bodies, will ultimately turn into castle slaves, generating electricity until their deaths inside. Only the electric cats outside can't see and don't know their miserable fate."

"The Savior pledge I made is to help and save those unfortunate and oppressed. But our kind faces the same fate on Spark Plain, being oppressed by higher-ranked kin! Doesn't that make you angry? I couldn't just stand by and watch!"

"So, after my investigation there, I charged straight in and released the electric cats enslaved in the castle."

"I told them to follow me! I would take them to a free world outside, where we could also find a way to evolve into Light Core Bodies! The ordinary electric cats didn't believe me, but these imprisoned slaves ran out with me, followed by the Light Core Body electric cats' pursuit..."

Zhou Yi listened in silence.

He basically understood the full picture now.

Mao Dali took away the castle's enslaved cats, and thereby triggered the Savior pledge, gaining a crazy power boost, almost ascending to the Light Core Body stage.

Zhou Yi asked, "Did the Light Core Body electric cats on Spark Plain say what the castle's core white creature is?"

"They don't know either."

Mao Dali said, "Initially, I pretended to join them and learned from them that the Light Core Bodies continuously acquire power and grow, with the core being the maintenance of the local Transparent Castle group. It's a whole complex energy setup."

"After rescuing these slaves, I was chased by seven Light Core Body electric cats; I almost got killed. In a fit of rage, I moved their core castle away during a thunderstorm. Although this surely greatly affected them, the entire Transparent Castle group didn't collapse."

Zhou Yi looked at Mao Dali again, "Where did you hide that Transparent Castle?"

"I hid it inside Wuhu Elevated Bridge, where it can shield external detection in a dry, insulated cave environment. The elevated bridge, knowing my emergency, let me store it there temporarily."

Zhou Yi said, "Alright, you go to Mars to avoid the limelight for now. The Space Bubble coordinates are..."

Mao Dali hesitated for a moment, "Chairman, I want to take those brothers to Mars as well."

"I brought them out, and I promised to find a way out for them. I can't just leave them behind."

"I am the company's electric cat, but they are not. If I bring them to Mars, they can avoid the conflicts with Spark Plain. As a Light Core Body, I should also be able to lead them there, and they can help the company mine."

"Staying here, they haven't been trained and are used to the freewheeling life of Spark Plain for many years. It's hard to adapt to the company's standards."

"Going to Mars, the electric cats can migrate between dust storms, and we can directly mine the Light Seed Ores there. Maybe we can find more effective ways to improve from the Mars electric cats. My path might be hard to replicate."

Mao Dali spoke very straightforwardly.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, "Alright, you take them to mine over there, following the treatment of the Mars electric cats we employ, but everything should follow Ice Pot's orders. You have to manage such a large number of electric cats, ensuring they work and return safely each time."

"Yes, Chairman! Please rest assured, I will do my best!"

Mao Dali promised immediately.

Time is of the essence.

Half an hour later, Mao Dali took tens of thousands of refugee electric cats and shuttled into Mars from the Space Bubble. Due to the electric cats' electric nature, it safely connected them internally during the transition.

After confirming the situation there, Zhou Yi entered a hidden cabin built within the Dead Sea by the elevated bridge.

Inside, there was a transparent house of about 15 square meters, a bottle-shaped single room. Both sides had circular connection points with sealed door structures to maintain a closed state.

Its interior had transparent pipelines, diamond-like compression anvils interacting with membrane materials and rotating, seemingly applying some pressure internally. It looked more like a special machine tool made of glass, with precision far surpassing the Cat House.

There was just one problem.

Zhou Yi couldn't find the Snowman; it was empty inside.

Did it dissipate during transport, or could it not sustain itself after leaving the massive Transparent Castle system?

The elevated bridge then said, "Chairman, it's still there."

"Mao Dali told me, without the power and energy supplied by numerous electric cats, the extreme low temperature and ultrahigh pressure in the castle couldn't be maintained, and this white creature would immediately dissipate. However, it didn't get destroyed but turned into gas, evenly distributed in this container."

"I can sense a weak consciousness, but it is very faint, this guy should be in a highly primitive state. Or perhaps, it's still an embryo, not fully formed."

Zhou Yi remembered.

The Snowman on Mars walked around the castle, clearly having more stable autonomous consciousness, likely a more mature stage.

This one above Earth's Spark Plain was still very small.

Zhou Yi placed his hand on the transparent machine tool.

Energy input was fine, but consciousness synchronization was like sinking into the sea.

Indeed, communication was impossible.

Zhou Yi immediately summoned Da Vinci and 703 over.

The two mechanical lifeforms brought the latest equipment and conducted various measurements and experiments on the transparent machine tool in the enclosed cabin.

703 was the first to draw a conclusion, "The outer transparent material is neither glass nor diamond but an unrecorded amorphous material. The traditional glass materials we use daily are also a type of amorphous material."

"Its density is comparable to diamond, but it exhibits liquid-like properties internally, combining high strength, hardness, elasticity, and toughness."

"While diamond's Vickers hardness can reach 10,000 HV, this material conservatively estimates above 70,000 HV. For convenience of recording and description, let's temporarily call it 7X Diamond."

"The Program Department simulated the relevant parameters; this can easily cut monocrystalline diamond, adapt to high temperatures, low temperatures, high pressures, low pressures, and other extreme environments, it can even shield against most radiation."

Zhou Yi thought, as expected.

As expected, the prototype of the Cat House was not made of glass; glass was just the only available substitute.

"Do we have a way to replicate this material?"

"Sorry, we can't."

703 explained, "We only have this finished product, we can't determine its exact process, specific processing tools, and material ratios. But given enough time for experimentation, we might produce similar amorphous materials, though the strength will be much lower."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Regarding something worth 100 points, producing a 20 points replica was also some progress.

At least they had a ready-made answer.

"Chairman, this sealed container structure made of 7X Diamond has extremely high technical value in itself. It can operate stably in extreme high pressure and low temperature environments. It also contains many different module components, all made of the same material."

The mechanical dog's electronic eye shot a beam of light, hitting an entrance point in the glass room.

"Look, this device has an entrance. But it requires materials of the same structure to dock with it, and needs to maintain the same pressure and temperature. The pressure and temperature control methods are very clever."

"According to our simulation, the internal components, like the 42 7X Diamond anvils, are used for localized pressure increase. The transparent pipeline system converts gas to liquid, the entrance has multi-level compression structures, similar to multi-stage cooling compressors..."

Zhou Yi let the technical details go in one ear and out the other.

Mainly because he couldn't understand.

"...Ultimately, our conclusion is that this gaseous life form extracts special gases from the bottle-shaped house to sustain its growth."

"These external gases need to be filtered and treated with ultra-low temperatures and high pressures before becoming part of it. External power is supplied by the electric cats."

"7X Diamond is special, a high-quality semiconductor, essentially a giant phase-change memory. It can precisely control electric inflow and outflow, and record information."

The mechanical dog became more excited as it spoke, "The gaseous life form inside should also be related to electricity. It can transform between gas, liquid, and solid states. Designing such a precise and complex setup, using Spark Plain's electric cats as the organic power source, is to continually supply the core area, enabling the lifeform to hatch."

"Its value is extremely high! I suggest connecting it to the company's power supply to continually hatch this lifeform."

After listening, Zhou Yi looked to the other side.

Da Vinci had also finished testing but remained silent.

Zhou Yi asked, "What's the matter? Any issues?"

The Mechanical Doctor slowly spoke, "There's only hydrogen inside."

"In this special incubation dish, only hydrogen exists."

"Although this conclusion goes beyond our existing knowledge base, it should be a lifeform based on hydrogen physiology."

"In some ways... very similar to the atmosphere creature."

Zhou Yi stroked his chin.

So, this Snowman prisoner was a relative of the atmosphere creature?
