Zhou Yi was somewhat puzzled, "Are you saying that Mars originally had a similar ecological environment to Earth?"

"No."

The Old King said, "Mars is a failed replica of Earth."

Replica.

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened.

It seemed that the Old King knew quite a bit about the inside story of Mars.

Previously, it hadn't mentioned anything in this regard. It was only after solving its urgent satellite repair problem that the Old King seemed to fully recognize his strength and qualifications, finally sharing this part of core secrets.

Zhou Yi quietly listened.

The Old King continued, "During the divine age, ancient humans had always been focused on Mars. Because the day and night and seasons are similar to Earth's, a Martian day is just 39 minutes longer than an Earth day, and Mars also has four seasons, with each season lasting twice as long as Earth's."

"The temperature on Mars ranges from -140°C to 20°C. Although cold, this temperature is already the most suitable star for flesh and blood life in the Solar System."

"The Martian atmosphere is only 1% of Earth's, but 95% of it is composed of carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is a natural oxygen source, and through the greenhouse effect, it can raise temperatures and convert large amounts of oxygen through plants, transforming the atmosphere."

"There are polar ice caps on Mars, traces of ancient riverbeds, and we have surveyed quite a few subsurface liquid saline lakes, which will provide a water environment basis for flesh and blood life."

A mechanical and calm voice came through the headphones.

"The Star Core Matrix has discovered a lot of special traces on Mars."

"There is a unique natural principle on Mars that I have named the 'Sound Mechanism.' It's like a loudspeaker, continuously broadcasting certain information on Mars."

"The source of the information, the creators of Martian life, including the electric cat, Electric Soul, and flying sticks among other life forms, are the Golden Elephant Herders."

The Old King said, "The Sound Mechanism records many sounds, different sounds for different life groups. For example, the sound heard by the electric cats is of impatience and scolding, telling them to continue causing trouble and that they won't bother anymore, speaking in frustration."

"The Sky Patrol Telescope and Alonzo followed the Sound Mechanism into the micro realm and discovered special information salts. The saline lakes are a huge information storage, where a type of solid life exists."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, "Can salt transmit information?"

"Yes, it can."

"There are two methods to read the salt on Mars."

The Old King introduced, "The first is by controlling the migration of Na⁺ through an electric field to change local conductivity, achieving memory resistor-like information storage."

"The second is at the atomic level, by precisely controlling the arrangement of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ in sequence, similar to DNA base pairs, producing a concise code readable in various ways, including binary."

"The saline lake is a huge library, and as long as observational methods are found, we can read the information inside using our existing technology. The technological power of the creators far surpasses ours."

Zhou Yi gasped.

No wonder the Heavenly People cautiously deal with the Golden Elephant Herders.

This group can not only raise various strange creatures but also possess strong information technology capabilities. The Heavenly People hardly understand genetic compilation and cannot even replicate their own subsidiary units.

The Heavenly People seem like warriors, experts in invasion and capturing the Sun, also existing on the Moon and Jupiter as labor and guardians.

The Golden Elephant Herders, on the other hand, are more like a group of engineers.

The Old King further said, "Just recently, we completed part of the decryption work in the subsurface saline lake."

"The records found in the salt indicate that Mars is a planet reformed by entities known as Seeders, who you called the Golden Elephant Herders. They attempted to replicate Earth here, using Earth as a template to sow and cultivate life, trying to transform the entire star."

"However, a sudden disaster stopped this project completely."

"Unfortunately, it doesn't record what exactly happened; it's just that the Martian terraform ended with no follow-up. The Seeders also announced their departure and left brief information for the species they had introduced here."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between the Heavenly People and the Seeders?"

The Old King didn't hold back, "The records in the salt mention a group called Transformers. Based on the calculations and judgments of the Star Core, it should refer to the Heavenly People."

"The Seeders and Transformers are not enemies but two groups focusing on different fields. We can only know that the Seeders are concerned with the domain of life, while the Transformers focus on transforming and processing the entire star."

Zhou Yi listened with keen interest.

Finally, getting a direct source of information about the Heavenly People.

In the past, it was all about guessing, trial and error, and summarizing.

The Golden Elephant Herders left the crucial information.

They nurtured hydrogen-based life, electric cats, Killer Rats, and the never-visited Meat Mountain, so it's correct to say they are Seeders.

The Heavenly People, on the other hand, modify the entire star, with all their technological points directed at transforming and processing stars, which explains how they could create the Ring Solar Wall. Their weak understanding of biological beings also becomes understandable.

The Old King said, "The reason we chose to establish the Mars Base is that we deciphered this part of the information."

"Mars is a star remodeled to imitate Earth, belonging to the Seeders' territory, where the Transformers cannot enter. Mars has a unique mechanism, like Jupiter and the Moon."

Zhou Yi confirmed again, "So the Heavenly People cannot enter Mars?"

"They cannot."

The Old King emphasized, "The plan to transform Mars into a second Earth, although ultimately bankrupt, still renders this star belonging to the Seeders. They still let the sown life here grow naturally."

"Where did the Seeders go?"

"I don't know."

The Old King said, "The salt only records that the Seeders' work had concluded, and they left. It doesn't say where they went or what they are doing now."

Zhou Yi couldn't help thinking, "The Forbidden Continent on Earth was similarly only half-built before construction stopped. It seems related to that sudden event."

"That's not the case."

The Old King said, "There are records on the Forbidden Continent, located on the Spark Plain. We contacted the Spark Knight there and learned the information left by the Seeders from him."

"The Seeders left a message on the Spark Plain saying they were in poor condition, inexplicably depressed, and preferred to stop instead of creating an inferior amusement park, so they announced an indefinite postponement of the project..."

Zhou Yi found it a bit overwhelming.

Actually, it's about giving up and running away.

From a professional attitude perspective, the Seeders are not as diligent as the Transformers... The Heavenly People have been tirelessly building the Ring Solar Wall for years, never relaxing or giving up.

However, speaking of which, thanks to the Seeders' escape, it actually gave the Old King and myself a chance to profit and establish a base beyond the Heavenly People's jurisdiction.

Everything indeed has its pros and cons.

Even giving up has a positive side!

Zhou Yi thought again: "Senior Old King knows the Spark Knight?"

"Yes, I do."

The Old King said: "You also know this person."

"Could it be..."

Zhou Yi cautiously asked: "The Warlord?"

"Why would you think it's him? It has nothing to do with him."

The Old King said: "If it were him, why would he need to ask you for an electric cat?"

Indeed.

Zhou Yi realized: "Who exactly is the Spark Knight?"

"Currently the Heavenly Emperor, Black Emperor II. His other identity is the Spark Knight."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

It's actually the Slaughter Duke.

Huh.

A flash of inspiration crossed Zhou Yi's mind.

The Slaughter Duke is renowned for killing over a thousand mechanical lives.

If he is the Spark Knight, then that makes perfect sense.

Electricity restrains and is deadly to mechanical lives.

When the Electric Cat System was first revealed, the Legal Front was very concerned about this point.

It turns out the Slaughter Duke tarnished its reputation.

Hold on.

The Slaughter Duke isn't simple...

Zhou Yi smoothly asked: "It seems the Slaughter Duke has done a lot of preparation, becoming the Spark Knight, gaining the succession of the Heavenly Black Emperor, and even obtaining the acting position... What kind of person is he?"

Regarding this question,

The Old King pondered for a while.

"Before you, he was the strongest of the new generation. But your unexpected rise changed many situations. I heard his candidate ranking dropped, even placing behind you for a time."

This senior is quite well-informed.

Zhou Yi continued to listen.

"The Slaughter Duke dares to try and take risks, unafraid of setbacks, capable of enduring long periods of hibernation. But his shortcomings are obvious: he is very competitive and holds himself to extremely high standards."

"Before you, he chased down the Black Emperor as his target. After you suddenly emerged, he has been trying to catch up and surpass you in all aspects."

The Old King said: "Now that he has inherited the position of Heavenly Emperor, it seems he is still unwilling to lose to you in any field. Whether it's the Mars project, the Mutant... or the competition for the acting position, he wants to prove his strength."

"He gained the support of the Dream Demon group, obtained the acting position, and holds the Heavenly Kingdom. Indeed, he has become one of the top figures of this era."

Zhou Yi was a bit bewildered.

Without even meeting, this guy actually considers me his imaginary enemy?

No wonder the number 4 acting position was snatched.

This guy is coming after me.

"However, in the competition for acting, though he won the position, you won people's hearts. I heard the Freedom Army has become a subsidiary of your company?"

Zhou Yi quickly said: "That's not true, it's just a cooperative relationship."

He briefly explained the matching of Wasteland Armor and Mutants.

He and the Old King are on different tracks, mutually beneficial collaboration, which is his unique advantage.

"I see... In terms of overall strategy, he is indeed not as good as you. Looks like he'll have to work hard to catch up again."

The Old King said so.

Zhou Yi said: "Senior Old King, why are you telling me these things?"

This part about Mars secrets already involves Heavenly People's secrets.

"Because."

The Old King slowly said: "You are already qualified."

"This world needs a breakthrough, the Black Emperor can be replaced, but your power is indispensable. It might even be you leading the charge this time."

Zhou Yi's heart was moved.

"Has the time matured?"

"Not yet,"

The Old King said: "But we have already seen a glimmer of hope."
