Chapter 125 The First Decryption of Heavenly People Technology


Inside the laboratory.

Two gemstones emit a faint green light, containing nearly fibrous glass human fragments, resembling amber enclosing prehistoric biological remains.

The Corridor Palace where Dong resides has now reverted to its original columnar form.

Zhou Yi grabbed it with one hand, and the Corridor Palace immediately adhered to his right hand, shrinking into the form of Light Core Arm Armor.

Through the Light Core connection, he retrieved all the information collected by Dong.

Zhou Yi's perspective suddenly shifted.

He became immersed in the motion inside a certain crystal.

This was the perception field of the Cave People.

Contrary to Zhou Yi's original assumption, the Cave People also have visual organs. Their 'eyes' discern brightness according to energy, similar to night vision devices.

Tens of millions of Cave People explored within the gemstones, with millions of perspectives unfolding simultaneously. This made Zhou Yi appear quite strained, as his mind couldn't keep up.

Dong noticed this and reminded, "Mr. Zhou, please merge them; the Cave People's perspectives are overlapping."

"Focusing on each individual constantly will be extremely exhausting. I use a merged perspective to filter their feedback. Areas with concentrated feedback will receive priority focus."

Zhou Yi learned from his experience, gradually consolidating and overlapping all perspectives, which indeed became much easier.

Before long.

He immediately discovered that strong feedback almost entirely came from the region of green fibers within the gemstone — the site of the glass human remnants.

In the Cave People's perspective, the remnants turned out to be glowing bodies, far brighter than the surroundings.

"Mr. Zhou, they are structures formed by the accumulation and solidification of numerous Cave People corpses. Although their stacked sequences differ greatly from ours, they can still be read. However, because of severe fragmentation, it took us considerable time to reconstruct them."

Zhou Yi felt relieved in his heart: "So, the essence of glass humans is indeed Intelligence Core Cave People?"

"They are not Cave People."

"Didn't you say they are formed by the accumulation of numerous Cave People corpses?"

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "What does that mean, then?"

"According to everyone's verification, the glass human should be a life form born from Cave People corpses."

"The Cave People corpses can be preserved long-term, accumulating a large amount of information. We advance by learning from generations of corpses. But the glass humans are different; they directly use Cave People corpses as carriers, similar to our Record Land, recording and trimming information by cutting, repairing, and expanding Cave People corpses."

"What glass humans want is an Ancestral Land filled with Cave People corpses, that is, a qualified Intelligence Core."

"Although Cave People corpses are a part of glass humans, they are not the essence of this group."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, thinking of a possibility: "Are you suggesting... glass humans also have a microscopic source?"

"It's quite possibly the case," Dong said.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a headache.

He thought the physiological situation of the Heavenly People was generally understood.

It turns out this group has become like a mille-feuille pastry.

Beneath the Cave People structure lies a hidden layer... Damn, can't they be straightforward and stop wrapping themselves like an onion?

"Da Zhou, this discovery is incredibly valuable, with significant implications for future strategies against the Heavenly People."

Xiao Fu suddenly spoke up: "Every life form has its corresponding physical carrier. Even purely conceptual life forms have a material carrier prototype."

Zhou Yi asked, "What about something like the mic master?"

"The mic master is the embodiment of music but also has a player carrier. However, now its prototype has become you. In a normal state, without a player or tools and life to create music in the world, it would not exist either."

After a brief explanation, Xiao Fu said, "Da Zhou, we don't need to understand the deep principles and mechanisms of the Heavenly People, as long as we find a way to suppress and constrain them."

"Now it's known that the Heavenly People use Cave People corpses as their information storage. This means that if we find a way to create artificial Cave People Ancestral Lands, or develop an Ancestral Land on Jupiter, and conduct targeted modification, we can potentially influence the Heavenly People."

"Or even be more radical, placing artificial Ancestral Lands on Jupiter's moon... Because of their frailty in the domain of life, the Heavenly People would have a hard time distinguishing the differences in the corpses, holding great potential for the future. Together with the Fire Gatherer, it could lead to a comprehensive strike against the Heavenly people's entire species!"

It had already started envisioning a heavy-handed approach against the Heavenly People.

Zhou Yi thought the same.

Ultimately, another step forward was made in Heavenly People research.

He brought his focus back to the Green Gemstone.

"Dong, what exactly did you discover inside?"

"Technical parameters."

Dong replied, "The glass human remnants are record lands of another form. These shards record many technical parameters, including the assembly and detailed polishing methods of gemstones, as well as the number and structure of gem fibers, and so on."

"Gemstone technology has two most core parameters. The first is the type of gem fiber. On a microscopic scale, every bundle of fiber has at least seven linear fibers, including three pairs of white, blue spiral lines, and one set of backup lines."

"Fibers are divided into five types. Typically, the gemstone extension is of the first type, with the simplest and most basic structure, which is stable but only suitable for simple structures."

"Second type fibers can be used to build structures composed of up to 10,000 gemstones, strongly resistant to interference but with a very short transmission distance, unable to operate independently away from the gemstone body."

"The third type is applied to equipment at the 100,000 gemstone level, not only resistant to interference but also having a shielding function, making it impenetrable from the outside."

"The fourth type can operate independently from the Heavenly People body and is capable of long-distance transmission. Gemstone Transformers and Light Core Giants are products of this type of fiber application."

"Finally, the fifth type can achieve transmission across spatial distances at ultrahigh speeds. It serves as the foundational support for the internal network of the Heavenly Person Gem Body. This is likely the carrier and channel for the Heavenly people's information network, but with many frequency bands and possible corresponding inspection mechanisms, further exploration is required."

Zhou Yi's brows relaxed as he listened.

This is a significant discovery.

No wonder the Light Core Giant he replicated one-to-one was merely a clay puppet, collapsing after just two steps. It turns out there was another layer to its internal technical structure.

These five types of gem fibers, resembling cables with different technical specifications, correspond to different application scenarios and are easy to understand.

Dong continued, "The second core parameter is the polishing of the gemstone itself. This aspect is even more complex, including five major categories of 16 main parameters such as field of view, view distance, aperture, transmittance, wavelength, sensor, temperature, and interface standards..."

"The shape of the gemstone is polished and adjusted according to actual circumstances."

"Manufacturing any gemstone device requires matching these 16 parameters. If incorrect gemstones are combined, the equipment will not be effective or will collapse quickly."

"In practical operation, gemstones can directly combine into the correct structure, adjusting themselves but only for the basic structure. Due to its simplicity, it can be achieved through the natural compatibility between gemstones. Complex structures require significant operations by glass humans to complete."

Zhou Yi listened quietly to the end.

According to this description.

If the internal parameters cannot be cracked, it would be impossible for Night God to replicate complex devices like the Gem Sun.

The final result would be nothing more than making a visually impressive but practically useless imitation of the Light Core Giant.

"Mr. Zhou, we have compiled these body fragments and currently found two detailed technical manuals."

"According to the habit of direct translation into Earth's language, they are called [Gem Sun] and [String Light Surface]."

Dong explained, "The Gem Sun involves using special refraction through gemstones to construct a direct channel between the existing Sun and the gemstone body. This channel can provide a large amount of energy in areas with solar radiation, acting like a huge converging lens connected to the solar energy channel."

"But in places where the Sun is difficult to radiate, like underground, it would be hard to function."

Zhou Yi's mood instantly became excited: "Is there a complete set of technology?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, yes."

Dong explained, "According to the technical manual on the bodies, these are reproducible as long as there are enough gemstones. However, the Gem Sun requires at least 40.8 million Blue Gemstones to activate, and some gemstones will wear, break, or even vaporize, so continuous replenishment of gemstones is needed for long-term use."

That's fine.

With plenty of corpses in the Heavenly Person Graveyard, this is sufficient for short-term operations.

Zhou Yi asked again, "The String Light Surface, is that the semicircular gemstone device?"

"Yes."

Dong continued, "The String Light Surface refracts and captures the energy impact known as string light, completing collection and accumulation. However, how string light is used subsequently is not mentioned, only the collection process at the front end."

"This device has a higher gemstone demand. Even the smallest version requires over 200 million gemstones for connection, with a large and complex structure needing five types of fiber for assembly, divided internally into 512 partitions, consuming more energy."

"The larger the model, the stronger its defense against string light."

"Even for the Heavenly People's Gem Body, it is a large-scale strategic-level device."

Zhou Yi pondered quietly.

This is indeed a countermeasure device against string light.

However, the String Light Surface can be set aside for now.

First, let's get the Gem Sun made!

He immediately went to the Double Tower Area to share this latest information with Night God.

The two began to seriously work on it.

...

Half a month later.

In the Moon's dark and desolate sky, a golden little sun made of gemstones appeared.
