Chapter 850: The Great Path

In the year 8,100 of the Blue Star Xia Calendar, in the starry sky

On a desolate planet thirty light-years away from Blue Star, a large living base was being built busily, with many robots working day and night.

Outside this planet, a Space Fleet was staying. Zhu Bin and many Formation Masters and engineers were still designing the construction of the cross-border teleportation array here.

Each planet is different; their rotation, revolution, and gravity vary, so almost every cross-border teleportation array needs detail changes; otherwise, problems can easily happen.

"Lord Zhu, we have not found high-quality nuclear materials on this planet for now. The raw materials for nuclear fusion will likely need to be transported from the rear. What do you think…?"

"Just use the stored materials in the fleet for now. We can restock when the supply fleet arrives. Additionally, let the engineering team work harder. We must complete the teleportation array here within one Blue Star year."

Zhu Bin said that many years ago, they successfully built the cross-border teleportation array from Blue Star to Jiang Star.

After careful calculations and experiments, they stabilized the technology of the interdimensional teleportation array, which allowed Zhu Bin to lead his team in building a teleportation array to Lingjing Star.

However, this process was not simple; he needed to take skilled people and use the Stargate Secret Technique, moving little by little. Because there were not enough skilled workers, Blue Star only had a few dozen experts with Tao Achieving skills, scattered all over, making them hard to find.

In their design, an interdimensional teleportation array could only send objects ten light-years, as this was the limit of what they could currently achieve. Just to cover the thirty light-years to Lingjing Star, they spent too much time, and it was estimated that reaching there in a hundred years would be very difficult, which was beyond his plan.

Half a month later, the base for survival was completed, and Zhu Bin led his team to move in. They quickly began to build the interdimensional teleportation array. Most of the basic materials for the teleportation array had already been made in the factory inside the Space Mother Ship, so the installation was fast, expected to take just half a month.

However, the energy needed to start it required a long preparation. Their energy sources were still three: nuclear fusion, solar energy, and spiritual energy.

But for the long-term development of Blue Star, spiritual energy could only be used in emergencies, while daily consumption had to come from nuclear and solar energy. The solar energy on this planet was abundant; they just needed time to gather enough energy to start the teleportation array.

Engineering robots were moving out solar panels from the transport ship, standard-sized solar panels, with every three hundred panels charging one solar battery. In bright sunlight, it could charge a solar battery fully in three months.

However, this solar energy could only be considered a supplement, as the daily electricity needs of the survival base still had to rely on solar energy, while the true source for quick charging had to come from nuclear fusion.

At that time, there were already more than twenty nuclear fusion power plants on Blue Star, enough to meet the daily energy needs of nearly ten billion people in Huaxia. With some additional energy sources like hydroelectric power, they could even meet industrial needs, as spiritual energy had been legally banned for industrial use in Huaxia.

"The technology is ready, the raw materials are enough, and there is enough labor. We will build the fusion power plant within a year, finish testing in a year and a half, and in three years, I will test the teleportation array…"

Zhu Bin gave the team orders to speed up. He did not want to delay here; he wanted to reach Lingjing Star as soon as possible.

Blue Star, Huaxia

"News from Zhu Bin says that the construction time for the third cross-border teleportation array might take longer than expected. Their travel time and construction time are both slower than planned."

Cao Ying compiled the message from Zhu Bin and delivered it to Lin Jiang.

"I understand. Reply to Zhu Bin that safety is the priority. We cannot lower safety standards just to save time. The cross-border teleportation array is very important."

"Zhu Bin should not act impulsively; he is reliable."

"Yes, Zhu Bin is still reliable. Things are stable on Lingjing Star, and we have a development window."

Lin Jiang said that he knew about Lingjing Star, and he was the one who taught Liang Long the concepts of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.

"The number of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage has recovered, one-third of the Soul Changing Stage has recovered, one-tenth of the Void Achieving Stage has recovered, and there are none in the Tao Achieving Stage, but three people are preparing to retreat to break through the Transmigration Stage."

Cao Ying casually said that it had been a hundred years since the battle of Jiang Star, and the loss in the Nascent Soul stage had been made up. This was still during the battle of Jiang Star when the Nascent Soul of the Golden Core Stage cultivators was not used.

"This speed will increase; the development of Jiang Star is still ongoing."

Lin Jiang was not concerned; the population of Jiang Star now exceeded eighty million. After understanding the population structure of Jiang Star, millions more from Blue Star had immigrated there. Compared to before, the cost was much lower. With enough population, the development of Jiang Star would increase further, and the transportation of abundant resources would boost Huaxia’s strength once again.

"The number of cultivators has increased, so we must keep those strong talents in check. Our basic support must still be firmly held, and we cannot be too harsh on them."

Cao Ying thought for a moment and then said that their original base was those awakened cultivators, more than a hundred of whom were in high positions and were natural allies with them.

However, as time passed and after many battles, more than eighty percent of those hundred had been consumed, leaving only less than forty today. If Huaxia regains dozens of Tao Achieving cultivators, their base will become limited.

Therefore, to solidify their position, they must expand their base. What is their base? Of course, it is the Lin family, Five Elements Sect, Four Sages Sect, Wangxian Sect, and Zhonghang Sect.

"Have I ever treated them poorly? As long as they do not go too far, I have never been harsh with them."

"I’m just giving you a reminder. As long as you understand, that’s enough. Sigh, if we had a child together, who knows…"

"Let’s not talk about unhappy things. You haven’t had any major issues in these years. Go be the headmaster of the training academy, teach students. The students you teach yourself would be more reliable."

Lin Jiang waved his hand, not wanting to discuss children with Cao Ying. It was impossible for them to have children now; they were both at the Transmigration Stage. Having a child was very dangerous for Cao Ying, and even getting pregnant was a very difficult task because her body would instinctively reject it as a form of self-protection.

"Teaching students? Aren’t you afraid of running into some young men with weak stomachs who want an easy life?"

Cao Ying immediately smiled. In the early days of recovering her spiritual energy, she did teach students. Many talented and elite individuals pursued her back then, but their outcomes were not very good. They were not just simply rejected; some even got beaten up.

"If I lack charm and can’t even compare to some kids in their twenties and thirties, that would truly be a failure."

"Haha, that’s what you said. If I end up being deceived later, don’t regret it!"

"No regrets, go ahead."

"Alright, I will find you a few pretty girls to make it up to you."

"Ahem, can you be a little serious? Can’t you see I have a lot of things to deal with? Hurry up, hurry up."

Lin Jiang quickly sent Cao Ying away; if they talked any longer, it would probably turn into a bunch of dirty jokes again. Who said girls can’t tell jokes? They are simply lying.
