After 404 entered the Dead Sea, it transformed into a giant, crystal-clear screw and began drilling toward the bottom of the Dead Sea.

This created a massive vortex in the surrounding area.

The voice of the Night God came to Zhou Yi's ears: "Isn't this the giant vortex of the Heavenly Person Device on Jupiter? It seems those Heavenly People attached to Jupiter are doing this kind of movement."

This vortex connects the sky and the Dead Sea, with a diameter larger than the nearby land area, causing a series of chain reactions that form massive rapids.

However, Zhou Yi was more concerned about another matter.

This natural modification phenomenon caused by 404 had far exceeded the scope of the Light Core Body, so normally, the Dead Sea Master should have cleaned it up and struck it down.

Yet the Dead Sea did not have any unusual feedback.

It was Xiao Fu who was even more perceptive.

"Da Zhou, pay attention to the internal gemstone structure of 404."

Only then did Zhou Yi shift his perspective back.

At this moment, he saw a peculiar change within the Heavenly Person Gem Body; at the core of the spiral structure, there was now a highly symmetrical spherical gemstone core.

The spherical core emitted a bright blaze, with a very high temperature, its surface having fluctuating mushroom clouds, dark flares, and boiling high-temperature fluids.

It was literally an artificial mini-sun.

"This is energy alignment, a strategic-level technology."

Xiao Fu exclaimed: "I once visited the ruins of a civilization and found similar technological relics."

"Simply put, energy alignment is about connecting existing energy orbits. There are many long-term energy methods in nature that involve Heavenly People, the most common being cosmic rays and the heat released by stars."

"The civilization I knew connected to cosmic rays, which gave them nearly infinite energy... It seems that the Heavenly People have mastered the technology of aligning with stellar energy."

"By aligning with solar energy, it's equivalent to becoming an extension of solar energy, essentially a part of solar energy in the energy domain."

"The Dead Sea Master's perception of the external essence is energy. Previously, when others had a large-scale effect on the Dead Sea that caused changes to the entire area's Dead Sea energy, it would trigger the repulsion of the Dead Sea Master. The greater the change, the stronger the repulsion."

"By aligning their energy, the Heavenly People are essentially a part of the Sun at the energy level, so the Dead Sea Master will not have any reaction. It's like if someone else slapped you, you'd definitely slap back, but if you slap yourself, you'd just think you're going crazy."

"It's a really clever solution... Although the Heavenly People are weaker in the fields of life and consciousness, they are extremely proficient in material side technology."

Zhou Yi thought to himself, no wonder.

The Heavenly People do not trigger the Dead Sea Master because they have merged themselves into the prototype of the Dead Sea Master.

However, if that's the case...

"Is there a way to replicate this technology?"

"Yes, that's the key!"

Xiao Fu said happily, "All the technologies and tools of the Heavenly People come from their body of gemstones. By combining a large number of gemstones in specific structures and sequences, different sets of tools can be created."

"This artificial sun, the number, form, and structure of the gemstones within it are very complete. This record is very detailed, and I think it can be fully replicated."

Zhou Yi quickly told this to the Night God.

The Night God was also delighted upon hearing this: "There's such a thing! Alright, I'll mark and record it right away and test it when I get back! Let me pause for a moment, and take a look at this section again."

She began playing this memory frame by frame, very carefully observing the structure in various internal areas.

Apart from the Heavenly People, no one understands gemstones better than the Night God.

After repeatedly confirming,

She said, "I've memorized the structure. The initial startup requires a huge number of Blue Gemstones, but there are already many Pupil-shaped Bodies on the Moon that can charge the Blue Gemstones. So there's no need to worry about that aspect."

"Whether it can succeed can only be determined after testing."

Although it's not guaranteed, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a subtle excitement in his heart.

If it is impossible to modify and utilize the Dead Sea, then the next step to attack the Heavenly People group cannot be carried out.

Large-scale modification of the Dead Sea cannot bypass the Dead Sea Master, this roaming ghost.

As the embodiment of the natural laws of the Dead Sea, the prototype being the Sun, the Dead Sea Master has an Immortal Body, with strength that is unfathomable, making it the strongest Consciousness Entity—or life form—in this world.

The company had previously only been able to carefully conduct local tests because both large-scale modifications to the Dead Sea in the region by the Leshan Buddha were wiped out by the Dead Sea Master. Now the Master still exists in a Consciousness Entity form and is active on the Moon with the White King, with its body not repaired.

But if the Heavenly People's method can be replicated,

then not only can it bypass the Dead Sea Master, this immortal boss, but it can also find a way to make it work for us.

Zhou Yi knew very well.

Controlling the Dead Sea means controlling this Wasteland era.

"I'll continue to play the video." The Night God said as such.

404 began to drill into the deeper layers of the Earth's crust.

Initially, its speed was extremely fast, like a hot iron entering solid fat smoothly, drilling downward all the way.

This process continued until it entered the fluid-like mantle layer, where a change occurred.

Its speed noticeably slowed down.

The mini-sun within the Gemstone Body had already gone out early, subsequently transforming into another familiar hemispherical structure for Zhou Yi.

It was a gemstone device used to concentrate light strings.

This hemispherical form could not be compared to the wall of gemstones on the other side. It formed outside the 404 Gemstone Body, positioned at the top of the entire Gemstone Body, similar to the position of a nut.

Inside the gemstone hemisphere, some tiny purple specs began to appear.

As the depth continued,

suddenly, inside the gemstone hemisphere, the purple specs began to transform into oscillating wave patterns like a sine function, the entire hemisphere releasing a strong light, as if warning.

Purple arc lights appeared in the mantle.

These arcs of light were concentrated and converged by the hemispherical body.

404 continued to dive unharmed.

However, after blocking several rounds thus, suddenly a thin purple light penetrated 404, instantly shattering the 7 glass men inside, and the entire Gemstone Body was stuck in the mantle, coming to a stop.

With that, the scene ended.

It was then that Zhou Yi confirmed that this hemispherical device was indeed used to handle string light.

The Heavenly People have some means against string light, but for higher intensity string light, they seem to have no solution.

Therefore, they need to excavate the Time Storage Chamber from the underground and send it to the Sun Region to further control the string light.

In other words.

The Heavenly People are aware of the existence of the Time Storage Chamber deep within Earth's interior and are also prepared for string light.

But they ultimately were killed by the string light when it exceeded their bearing capacity.

Then they had a backup plan, using Verne to control 404 to continue the mission.

...

The nearby Night God said, "I'll first go replicate the Gem Sun, wait for my update."

"Alright."

Zhou Yi recalled the scenes he had seen in the Ruby, while sipping a beer.

This was the first complete Ruby harvest.

Compared to the earlier finds from the Heavenly Corpse, the record was more complete and detailed, covering the entire process of 404 from birth to death, documenting the life of the Heavenly Person.

The Heavenly People seem to be quite reticent.

They communicate very little with each other.

How 404 autonomously learned to function as an engine on the Ring Solar Wall and later change form to drill underground remaining is beyond his understanding.

He couldn't figure it out, so he discussed it with Xiao Fu.

"It's the gemstones, Da Zhou, the gemstones."

Xiao Fu said, "The Heavenly People are a closed gemstone system. The Ruby records the external phenomena, but the internal consciousness information is still transferred by the gemstones."

"Technologically speaking, this is also the most secure way. There is no risk of technical leaks, no loopholes because as long as the glass man exists, it represents the existence of the Heavenly People. When they die, that information becomes unnecessary with their imperfections, and its significance vanishes."

"Or you could say, the brain of a glass man is made for this purpose. Simply put, it's very difficult for the Intelligence Core Cave People to store so much information."

Zhou Yi absorbed the important intelligence he received today.

Without realizing it, he had drunk several cans of beer.

This was also a side effect of his White Suanni body.

Suddenly.

A message resonated in the Consciousness Domain: "I've found something in the fibrous corpse of one of the green gemstones; it's readable!"

"Come and take a look at this."

Zhou Yi immediately hurried over.
