After hearing Zhang Zhi's experience, Zhou Yi's first thought was that it was no accident this guy could lead the Freedom Army to grow and thrive under various pressures.
He's hands-on in learning by doing, and can put his heart into any job and excel in it.
Coupled with his fearless leadership, even when working as a laborer on the Ring Solar Wall, Zhang Zhi managed to carve out a significant place for himself.
It's equivalent to an exceptional talent being promoted from a temporary worker to a permanent position.
Zhou Yi asked him, "You can't stay here for long, can you?"
Zhang Zhi nodded, "I can see the countdown. In total, I can only stay for one year."
"That's not too bad."
"No, you don't get it. I have only one year left in total."
Zhang Zhi explained, "My duties are at the Ring Solar Wall, leading other workers in repairing the wall. Because my team and I developed a gemstone construction device, it allows us to connect the gem cells in a prefabricated way, significantly increasing efficiency."
Zhou Yi frowned, "Actually, I'm a bit puzzled. If efficiency is so important, why don't the Heavenly People use Transformers to build the wall instead of finding Earth life forms?"
"Because we ourselves are part of the wall."
Zhang Zhi gave a bitter smile, "When I first arrived, I thought only mistakes and slackers would be embedded in the wall. Later, after talking to many coworkers, I realized it wasn't that simple."
"In fact, no matter what, we will eventually become part of the Ring Solar Wall. The workers are also materials. It's just a difference in the order of installation."
"Unqualified workers will be the first to be made into gemstone bricks. The walls made from these worker-gemstones possess complete and complex life characteristics. When charged, they can transfer energy. When the wall enters a red cycle, these wall sections also take on memory and recording functions."
Zhou Yi suddenly understood.
So that's the design.
Indeed.
Intelligent life forms themselves are extremely precise natural instruments.
Even the Light Core Giants and Gemstone Transformers made by the Heavenly People clearly cannot reach the precision of natural life forms.
Zhang Zhi fished out a cigarette box from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth.
He took a slight breath, and the cigarette tip ignited without wind, glowing red.
"According to Shan Yang, work efficiency was very high in the past, and workers could easily connect the gemstone cells. But now it's become much more difficult."
"The Ring Solar Wall has several layers, built layer by layer outward."
"Over there, the sun will have bursts of high-energy radiation, and there's a gravitational force that can tear parts of the solar wall and emit very special light; the gemstone bricks will also get damaged... These situations are becoming more and more severe."
Zhou Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, "Has the sun ever emitted purple light?"
Zhang Zhi was taken aback, "How do you know? Only those on the Ring Solar Wall should be able to see that."
Zhou Yi immediately asked Xiao Fu.
"Does the sun turn purple before it destroys?"
Xiao Fu said, "No. The purple light phenomenon should be an external manifestation of certain substances converting into energy. It's an extremely rare event. This is the first time I've heard of it."
"More commonly, in civilizations like the White King's, the sun explodes, forming intense high-temperature brightness for a few minutes that impacts every nearby celestial body before quickly descending into darkness."
Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened, "An extremely rare event… Could it be that the Mud Tree Civilization World is within the Solar System?"
Based on the endpoints of space channels on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter are confirmed.
So, the Mud Tree World might also be within the range of solar radiation.
"What you said seems very likely."
Xiao Fu thought for a moment, "Space channels can connect two spaces, but if not naturally forming giant space holes, in most cases they connect areas nearby through distorted junctions."
"Essentially, it's a spatial region stitched together by the interaction of energy from different celestial bodies."
"For a star like the sun, with sufficient energy intensity, it can reach a giant space hole with another star, which is also the foundation of Circular Flow bursts and impact coverage."
"From a technical perspective, the Mud Tree World should be within this Solar System."
Zhou Yi turned back to Zhang Zhi, "I have some urgent matters to verify first, let's schedule another meeting."
Zhang Zhi said, "Then I will come to see you in a day."
"Okay."
The two parted ways.
Zhou Yi immediately sought out Ni Ge and the Dongs for inquiry.
"You're asking about our world? It's… neither too hot nor too cold."
Ni Ge crossed his arms, "Besides the Purple Sun, there's just the Dead Sea formed by Circular Flows everywhere. There is no land, only the Dead Sea, along with Pan Trees and Sky-reaching Trees."
"But over there, there are great whirlpools that I haven't found here on Earth."
Zhou Yi asked what they were.
"They're giant whirlpools, forbidden zones that can't be approached, like tornadoes that connect directly to the sky. Once you get caught in one, there's no escape. Our explorers have marked these great whirlpools, but the exact number is unknown because they sometimes move and sometimes disappear. There are thousands of them."
Zhou Yi then asked, "Are those great whirlpools blue?"
Ni Ge was stunned, "How did you know, Chairman?"
"Also, your Dead Sea should have large red areas."
Zhou Yi continued to confirm, "And a lot of storms and lightning?"
"Chairman, you're really amazing! That's all correct!"
Ni Ge looked incredulous, "Did you use the Mind Reading Technique?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Yi didn't have time to chat idly with him, "Is it or isn't it?"
"Yes."
The Mud Tree man nodded, "It's indeed like you said, although not all areas are like that... The deep layers of the Dead Sea are much more viscous and extremely cold. We must be very careful to enter them. The sea floor is very dangerous, with immense pressure."
"Additionally, the trees. Unlike here on Earth, the trees there grow in the Circular Flows and drift everywhere. Trees are our ships and homes. So controlling the movement of Sky-reaching Trees is a complicated task, handled by naturalists from the Tree Department."
Zhou Yi further confirmed with the Dongs.
While they had no reading places, each had equipment manuals describing various environments and basic situations.
"Mr. Zhou, what's described in the manual matches what you said."
"In the world of the cave people, there is mud and soil in the deep layers. We use various methods to create reading places from them."
"Additionally, the great whirlpools are real, although known by different names. The phenomenon, termed 'self-rotation machines' by us, was used as processing tools. Solid Cloud Elixir and Corridor Palace were made using them."
"They have massive incredible energy, with varying speeds, connected to the deep Circular Flow."
The two provided substantial supportive information.
But they lacked conclusive evidence.
As Zhou Yi hesitated, Xiao Fu suddenly spoke up, "Da Zhou, did you forget the Sun Eye? Have Ni Ge look through it to confirm."
"The Sun Eye's perspective not only sees the sun but also other stars it radiates to. It's a super telescope to find paths."
Zhou Yi was overjoyed.
He quickly took Ni Ge, riding Hei Fu, swiftly to the Moon.
The White King shared the pupil-shaped body connection with Ni Ge.
The Sun Eye focused on the target.
Hei Fu's Light Core briefly shook Ni Ge's body.
"The great whirlpool!"
"The red storm!"
"And the Circular Flow..."
"This is... this is... my homeland..."
The Mud Tree man looked dazed, "So, my homeland is this close... From the sky, it looks like this."
"The trees are all gone... The Mud Tree people are really gone."
He came to his senses, looking at Zhou Yi, "Chairman, it's indeed my homeland, the world of the Mud Tree people. I'm certain."
Zhou Yi could finally confirm.
The Mud Tree World is Jupiter.
"Those blue great whirlpools are each a Heavenly Person, operating as parts on Jupiter."
Ni Ge listened, astonished, then expressed doubt, "But wait, Chairman… If we live on Jupiter and can see the Purple Sun and its fragments, why isn't it visible on Earth? The Cang Hai Lord said Earth is closer to the sun than Jupiter, right?"
Zhou Yi responded, "Jupiter is special. It's a mega construct on a Heavenly Person scale that can capture solar dust and react uniquely with the sun, a capability Earth or other celestial bodies lack."
Currently, with 160 pillar bodies, the basic Sun Eye's clarity and effect reached one-fourth.
They could further expand the observation target.
Zhou Yi clearly observed through the Sun Eye.
Jupiter's surface had a layer of twisted wave-like regions, like a strong force field gathering surrounding dust and flying stars.
Numerous fragments turned purple there, sticking to Jupiter's atmosphere.
These were solar dust, identified as demon stars by the cave people.
Sometimes, the sun expelled material forming purple, absorbed by Jupiter, transforming parts into purple.
An evident special relationship existed between the two.
Xiao Fu suddenly exclaimed, "I understand now, Da Zhou!!!"
"I know what Jupiter is!"
"It's a man-made sun!!!!"
