Chapter 577: The Third Energy Crystal Nucleus

The torrential rain lasted for more than two months before it gradually subsided, and the rain cleared in most parts of the entire northern hemisphere.

The ice melted, the floodwaters receded, and vegetation began to grow.

I have to mention the tenacious vitality of plants.

Even if they have been frozen for decades, they have not been extinguished, even if the branches have been completely necrotic, the deep roots are still alive, and as soon as the ice melts, countless plants and trees have been revived from the corpses, bathed in the sun, competing to grow, exuding vitality.

The earth was rapidly turning green, and it was hard to believe that two months ago, it was a polar world of ice and snow.

As the flood waters on the ground receded, a planned grand city was about to rise from the ruins of Hope City, which was hundreds of times larger than the original Hope City, and had been turned into a huge construction site within a radius of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Countless huge cargo ships, like mountains, connect the miniature universe in space and the logistics channel of New Hope City, transporting the materials looted from the Barnard system to New Hope City, and building them into buildings and factories.

Before the war with the Bosers, mankind's prediction of war was pessimistic, of course, the word "pessimistic" may not be accurate, but the uncertainty of the war situation was a common idea at the time.

The so-called defeat before thinking about victory, not to mention the life-and-death war between races.

Needless to say, the victory of mankind is naturally happy, but if it fails, there must be a way back, and retreating into the miniature universe is the last way back, even if the Boxing people finally occupy the Barnard star system and blockade it with heavy troops, as long as they retreat into the miniature universe, human beings still have enough resources to cover their heads and develop.

According to this guideline, in wartime, humanity destructively exploits Planet Four, and some of its resources are used for productivity expansion and armament manufacturing, while more resources are stored and transported to the micro-universe.

Before the expedition began, the resources of human reserves had reached the consumption required to maintain the current productive forces for more than a hundred years, and by the time the whole migrated to Earth, the human reserves were already sufficient to sustain the current human productive forces for a thousand years.

Of course, this is an ideal situation in which productivity does not continue to explode, and at that time, it is estimated that these reserves will be exhausted after fifty or sixty years.

Even so, this is still a huge amount of wealth, the total mass of the reserve material exceeds the mass of the moon, and every element is measured in trillions of tons, even precious heavy metals such as gold, there are tens of trillions of tons, which is hundreds of millions of times more than the total amount of gold mined by mankind since the beginning of history.

The total mass of the solar system is dominated by gaseous planets, and the rock resources that are easy to exploit are not abundant, and they are divided into Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury from the size of the rock planets.

The largest of them is the Earth, but the mass of the Earth is only one-third of that of Planet Four in the Barnard System, and even all the rocky planets in the Solar System combined are not as good as a Planet Four.

As the home planet of mankind, it is impossible for human beings to extract materials directly from the ground like Planet 4, and Mars, the twin brother of the Earth, has long been the second habiting planet in the predestination, and even Venus and Mercury are also its reinhabited planets.

The human population has begun to explode, not only the two or three million clones produced from the laboratory every year, but also the new generation of human beings who combine with each other, and the upcoming baby boom is also beginning to appear.

Up to now, the human population has approached 30 million, and it is negatively estimated that in a hundred years, the number of human beings can reach 500 million, and in two hundred years, the earth may be overcrowded, and two hundred years is not a long time for a civilization, even for new humans, it is only two-thirds of the life span.

It can be said that every rocky planet in the solar system is extremely valuable and is the food for the development and expansion of human civilization.

Fortunately, humanity has long since broken away from becoming an interstellar civilization that can step out of the home galaxy, and curvature technology allows humans to have enough ability to explore the surrounding star fields and grab resources to make up for the lack of the home galaxy.

……

At this moment, in Jupiter, a battle is about to break out.

Luo Yuan stood in space, looking at Jupiter not far away, this is a giant planet that blows endless storms all year round, its mass is close to the critical point of the star, and several huge vortices in the entire atmosphere collide and rub against each other violently, bursting out with a strong energy reaction.

Pulsed radiation, lightning, strong electromagnetism, and storms and heat that tear it to powder make this a hell where no life can survive.

Of course, there are some unbelievable creatures to be removed.

For example, Luo Yuan, and space monsters.

At this time, Luo Yuan's whole body was radiant, and a powerful perception enveloped the entire huge Jupiter.

In the liquid hydrogen layer tens of thousands of kilometers deep inside Jupiter, a giant beast is swimming deep into the earth with extreme anxiety.

It was a huge mutant beast, its size was like a huge loach three kilometers long, its body was smooth, with a blue glow, and it stood out in the dark liquid hydrogen layer.

Perhaps it had survived in the dark for a long time, its eyes had deteriorated, its head was spiky, and its mouth had no teeth.

The terrifying pressure of liquid hydrogen, which is enough to flatten steel, does not seem to exist to it, and here it is completely like being in water, constantly diving frantically into the depths of Jupiter at an astonishing speed of hundreds of meters per second, trying to find that ray of life.

It's just that it's doomed in vain.

The next moment, a terrifying will descended on it, its body stiffened slightly, and then its whole body seemed to light up like a star, its fierce struggle, and its huge body for several kilometers stirred this high-pressure sea of liquid hydrogen into a pot of boiling water.

Its struggle seemed to be quite effective, as a terrifying creature that could survive in the depths of Jupiter, its strength was extremely amazing, and it seemed to feel the restraints of its will begin to loosen, and the space creature began to struggle even more frantically, it let out a silent roar, covered with terrible spikes, and its previous smooth body looked extremely hideous.

However, it didn't even notice that the space around it had been quietly distorted for hundreds of kilometers, and in just one second, a closed independent space had been completely formed, breaking away from this universe. The surrounding liquid hydrogen instantly converges to fill the gap in this missing space.

The next moment, this miniature universe wrapped around this space giant beast, quickly flew up, and soon left the liquid hydrogen layer, passing through the atmosphere of Jupiter, in the process of flying, it shrank smaller and smaller, and when it reached Luo Yuan's palm, it had become only the size of a palm.

In this miniature universe filled with light blue liquid hydrogen, a creature the size of a needle tip is happily shuttling through it.

Luo Yuan glanced at it, his fingers blurred, his fingers passed through this miniature universe, through the body of this creature, and when it was condensed again, an energy crystal nucleus that radiated brilliance had appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the space creature quickly froze in a mess, trembling all over, and there was no longer the previous cheerfulness.

Luo Yuan examined it carefully and found that it showed no signs of death, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Then he used the surrounding matter to recondense a space sphere, compressed this space, and quickly flew towards the earth.
