Chapter 1408: Dyson Sphere Project
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under the urging of his little sister, Bai Jiacao, Meng Chao woke up.
Through the air that smelled of sulfur, the lead clouds that seemed to have been formed by the simultaneous eruptions of ten thousand volcanoes, Meng Chao realized that he had returned to the ancient battlefield.
The scene in front of him was almost exactly the same as the dying memories of Mother 1 that he had read through the ‘memory cell connection’ in the ultimate nest of the monster civilization in the hidden fog domain.
It seemed that this was what Mother 2, the Mother of Origin, the second Egg of Chaos, was trying to instill into him.
However, his perspective was split into two.
The first perspective was still from the perspective of the mother, looking at the sky from the ground.
The second perspective was like looking at the earth from the perspective of the Ancients who were in the space station in the synchronous orbit above the atmosphere, looking down at the planet that the people on Earth called the Other World.
The point of view was even grander, more magnificent, and more abstract.
It also brought Meng Chao new information that was as astronomical as the numbers.
Meng Chao observed quietly and thought silently.
It seemed that mother origin had exhausted all of its life essence at the last moment and was trying to launch an unprecedented soul attack on the brain of herself and the Wolf King, turning them into its puppets.
However, because he had injected a large amount of nerve suppressants into its body, he had even injected one-third of his ‘hope’ into it at the last moment.
And deep inside the souls of himself and the wolf king were the inexplicable, mysterious power of the ‘Apocalyptic Flames’.
Therefore, mother Origin’s desperate gamble didn’t succeed.
It didn’t completely subdue and devour Meng Chao’s and the Wolf King’s souls.
Instead, it transferred the memory that was buried in the deepest part of its soul and left the deepest impression on it. Even after billions of years of erosion, the memory that hadn’t been erased was transferred to Meng Chao’s brain.
As for why in the memory of the ‘main brain of the monster’, only the image of the main body controlling the overwhelming beast tide to form a tower of flesh and blood that crashed into the sky was shown.
But in the near-death memories of the mother, there was still the view of the Ancients looking down at the planet from above?
That’s right, because the mother was heavily injured.
There was a remnant of the temple of Holy Light on its body. It had sacrificed the lives of countless holy light priests and mages 3,000 years ago before it was able to cast the brand of magic.
The so-called holy light magic most likely originated from the strategic weapon left behind by the ancients on this planet.
While suffering a fatal blow, the body of the Mother of Origin naturally left behind the terrifying power of the Ancients that could instantly burn a habitable planet with abundant resources into an extremely large glass ball.
“This is…”
Meng Chao did not have the time to think about why he was in such a strange state and how he could escape from the Mother of Origin’s near-death memories. He was already deeply attracted and shocked by the grandeur and fierceness of the ancient war.
Originally, he thought that the overwhelming beast tide formed by hundreds of millions of primordial beasts and the sky-piercing tower made of the flesh and blood of countless monsters were the true appearance of the original mother.
It wasn’t until now, when he looked down at the entire planet from the atmosphere of the primordial era, that he realized that what he had absorbed from the dying memories of the main brain of the monsters was only the tip of the iceberg.
The main body wasn’t just an overwhelming beast tide.
It wasn’t just an endless beast tide that was inlaid with countless insect cocoons, beast eggs, and hatcheries. It was a super-large nest that was deeply rooted in the ground and possessed consciousness and even intelligence.
It wasn’t even just a tower of flesh and blood that was formed by hundreds of millions of ferocious archaic beasts that bared their fangs and brandished their claws. Its height could surpass 10,000 meters.
There was far more than one similar tower of flesh and blood.
‘When one looked up at the tower of flesh and blood from the ground, one would only fee! that it was magnificent, indomitable, and indestructible.
It was really like a sharp knife that could poke a hole in the sky that sealed the earth.
However, when one looked down at the earth from the sky, the tower of flesh and blood that had a base diameter of more than 1,000 meters was just a small tentacle, or even a slender flagellum.
The problem was that there were far more than one such ‘tentacle’ and ‘flagellum’.
Similar ‘tentacles’ and ‘flagellum’ grew everywhere on the surface of the entire foreign world, be it on land or in the ocean.
They attempted to charge toward the sky from all directions and break through the atmospheric defenses of the ‘ancients’.
Even if one, ten, or a hundred flesh towers all collapsed.
There were even more blood and flesh towers that were born under the relentless attacks of the archaic vicious beasts who were not afraid of death. They attempted to continuously increase their height, even if it was another thousand meters, a hundred meters, ten meters, one meter, one minute.., one
centimeter, one millimeter, one micron, one nanometer…
It was like, it was like…
The Mother was not a creature of this planet at all.
The Mother was this planet.
It was the embodiment of the planet’s most furious will. It was the most violent battle cry that the invaders who tried to subdue it, control it, modify it, and use it.
The Ancients were not the natives of this planet as Meng Chao had originally thought.
That was because, compared to the towns and fortresses that they had built on the surface of the planet, which were as glittering and translucent as crystals illuminated by the sun.
The synchronous orbital space stations that they had built outside the planet’s atmosphere were hundreds of times larger than the cities and fortresses on the surface of the planet. Their structures were also more complicated and sophisticated.
It was as if the cities in the sky above the atmosphere were their real homes.
The cities and fortresses on the surface of the planet were merely temporary rest stations and laboratories that they would use when they occasionally descended below the atmosphere.
The ‘cities in the starry sky’ were like butterflies with crystal wings.
Other than the super-large space station in the center where the Ancients could live, work, and manipulate lethal weapons, the most eye-catching thing was that the space stations were spread out on both sides of the space stations, covering the sky and covering the Earth, the facilities looked like sails.
Countless ‘sails’, or ‘butterfly wings’, quivered as if they were dancing under the dual effects of the radiation of the stars and the magnetic field of the planets. They were constantly decomposing and refracting red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and purple, they were thousands of times more dazzling than
rainbows.
And from all directions of each space station, mechanical arms that looked like the tails of scorpions extended out.
The mechanical arms were precisely twining, and they could connect two or more ‘butterflies’ together.
A Hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, and countless ‘butterflies’ were connected to a super giant network that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
They spread their wings at the same time and danced in the colorful light. In a literal sense, they covered and even sealed the sky of the habitable planet below.
Such a large and precise structure reminded Meng Chao of the scientists of the Earth era, who once proposed a solution to the energy problem when civilization reached a high level.
That was the Dyson Sphere Project.
The so-called Dyson Sphere, was a man-made celestial body with a theoretical diameter of more than 200 million kilometers, that could completely envelop a star and absorb its energy.
It was the equivalent of a natural nuclear fusion reactor powered by a star.
It was mainly composed of countless artificial satellite arrays with super-large solar sails.
On Earth, the Dyson Sphere Project was only the imagination of some engineers and even science fiction writers.
But the array of thousands of dancing giant crystal butterflies in front of him was very much like the theoretical model of the Dyson Sphere that Meng Chao had seen in the Earth Club.
The problem was that the Dyson Sphere should be built and installed in the orbit of a star.
After all, only the star could produce an endless supply of energy.
However, the Other World was a habitable planet.
How much energy could the Dyson Sphere absorb by building a planet in a synchronous orbit in an attempt to completely envelop the planet?
After all, most of the energy on the planet came from the radiation of the star.
Even if the geothermal energy in the planet was completely drained, it would not be able to make up for the cost of building the Dyson Sphere.
Wait a minute…
Meng Chao suddenly remembered that the Other World was not an ordinary habitable planet.
Different from Earth, the subterranean area of the Other World not only contained abundant geothermal energy, but it also contained energy that was a hundred times more intense than the radiation of the geothermal energy or even the radiation of the stars.
spirit energy…
“Could it be that we’ve been wrong all along?
“At first, we thought that the Ancients were the natives of the planet, at least the first batch of carbon-based intelligent life that came to the planet to develop a civilization, and that they were our immediate ancestors.
“The Mother was merely a flesh and blood tool that was created by the biochemical laboratory of the ancients to modify the environment and produce construction.
“The so-called ‘ancient war’ was a super-large-scale biochemical crisis. It was the mother body that had awakened its self-awareness, broke free from the control of the ancients, and tried to devour its creator.
“However, judging from the overall picture of the ancient war, if the mother body could grow furious tentacles and flagella from alll directions on the planet, it would be hard to imagine that such a large-scale life form would be born in a small laboratory.
“The ancient books in the temple of Holy Light also recorded that the existence known as the Mother by the Earthlings and Chaos by the Holy Light faction was the most ancient native with consciousness and wisdom born on the planet.
“The fact that the ancients could build a crystal array that covered the entire planet — a cosmic marvel comparable to the Dyson Sphere — and a ‘transmigration engine’ was enough to prove that the ancients had extraordinary interstellar navigation and cosmic engineering abilities. It was very likely that
the nomadic civilizations in the vast sea of stars were searching for planets with psionic energy like other worlds to absorb the super energy inside and turn it into motivation for their continuous advancement.
“Then, between the mother and the ancients, or rather, the chaos and the Holy Light, who was it that summoned the carbon-based human-shaped intelligent beings such as the Earthlings, the Turan orcs, the holy light humans, and the forests to the planet to continue the war that they had been fighting
for billions of years?
“Which side should we stand on, or rather, which side should we stand on to survive
