The necessary conditions for space to accommodate life do not require deep research; simply refer to the real environment of Blue Star, copy the homework, and meet the standards one by one. The data is everywhere, and downloading any document provides the standard answer.

Air, water, and various substances—these conditions are now partially met.

Especially air and water, sufficient portions have been collected in the asteroid zones of the Saturn Rings and the Keppler Belt. The air pressure in the center of the life space slightly fluctuates around the 1 atm (101.325 kPa) value, temperature 0 degrees Celsius, but the gas composition still needs further adjustment to match Blue Star's atmospheric conditions. The simplest way is to add nitrogen and supplement an appropriate amount of oxygen. Once photosynthesis is initiated, the rest is not a big deal.

Besides, the life space of the "Boundary Pearl" also requires gravity, light, and wind.

Gravity mainly stems from mass. The weak gravity formed by the current collected mass is still insufficient to meet Blue Star's standards, requiring more mass to settle and achieve adequate gravity.

Although there are other ways to find alternative solutions, such as creating rotating ring-shaped land plates which can simulate gravity through centrifugal force and simultaneously generate airflows, the power needed to drive the ring-shaped land plates and their own strength pose greater technical challenges. Even the Blue Star Civilization cannot achieve this, let alone Chen Fei, who is just experimenting alone now.

Wind can balance the changes in cold, heat, and air pressure, and vice versa. The changes in cold and heat areas due to day-night alternation naturally produce air currents. Therefore, the life space still requires a light source comparable to Constant Star Light, not just a simple illumination cool source.

The Light Elemental Holy Crystal in Chen Fei's hand happens to serve as the core of the light source for the life space, supplemented by a Magic Array and ample Crystal Energy output power. The emitted light and heat are comparable to sunlight.

Based on the special space rules of the life space, the boundary of the mist at its edge exists in a symmetrical connection rule, conforming to the four-dimensional rules of the Klein bottle space. Stepping into one side of the mist boundary, the next second it'll enter the symmetrical mist boundary on the other end, never able to break through outside the mist boundary.

The light source Alchemical Artifact with the Light Elemental Holy Crystal as the core only needs to be drawn along fixed routes across the future continent plates of the life space. Set by magnetic poles, moving from east to west, rising in the east and setting in the west, it bathes the land with light and heat as it completes a circuit in twelve hours. Day Zone and Night Zone alternate, air pressure fluctuations generate airflows, wind naturally appears, making the continent within the life space no different from the surface of Blue Star. Although the consumption of Crystal Energy will be massive, it's easier to achieve compared to rotating ring-shaped continents, and the utilization of pod-shaped space is higher, accommodating more resources.

Chen Fei temporarily stays on Socotra Island to continue receiving various supply materials. The geographical location here is excellent, requiring little transshipment to conveniently acquire supplies from the sovereignties of Asia, Europa, and Africa.

The combat in the star system where the "Sagali" Civilization's ancestral land is located proved that Chen Fei's fighting power is directly proportional to the quantity of reserved materials with "Spatial Branding." If he is not "fed" well, it becomes difficult to exert the fighting power of a One Man Army in emergencies, resulting in Blue Star losing this crucial strategic force out of thin air, which is disadvantageous for resisting the invasion of the "Sagali" Civilization.

During this period, initially, people kept full attention on the two gigantic entities—Seed Nest McKenny and the fusion super-giant biological Space Battleship. Now, most, like Chen Fei, have only seven or eight people left taking turns to monitor, with the rest waiting to see the fast-forward playback.

The tactical entanglement continues between both sides till now, with the pace of engagement slow and quite tedious. Initially thought it might resolve in a few months or even one to two years, but now it seems, with the characteristic of "Sagali," even fighting for several hundreds of years is not unlikely.

The sweeping invasion of the ancestral land by the "Sagali" Civilization initially appeared fierce and overwhelming as if it would conquer in one fell swoop. But now, stuck in a stalemate, the whole situation has become unbearable to watch. The warring factions seem like mirror images; you give me a slap, I give you a blow, acting like photocopiers with no way to achieve a surprising victory. Consequently, it turned into a prolonged war of attrition, mostly filled with dead time.

Prince Lin Zio of the Slan Dynasty, who accepted Chen Fei's commission, finally responded with two complete design schemes for Alchemical Artifacts: one is for the light source Alchemical Artifact used in the life space, its diameter exceeding one hundred meters, with the Light Elemental Holy Crystal at its core. Combining it with the special crystals obtained from the Abnormal Region and other materials, the utilization rate of low-temperature nuclear fusion energy can be maximized. Fusion is originally the main energy source of stars, and now with the amplification of the Light Elemental Holy Crystal and Alchemical Artifact, the emitted light energy is comparable to the real Sun. It can also adjust the energy level, simulating seasonal changes to make the life space highly similar to the real star environment. Even if some differences remain, they can be completely ignored.

The other Alchemical Artifact is precisely the solution for preventing loss of the "Boundary Pearl." Combined with the core of a health bracelet and equipped with a top-grade Super Star Crystal, it symmetrically distributes with the "Boundary Pearl." On the surface, it looks like an ordinary health bracelet, but it can always remain in the invisible Sub-Phase state limited to Chen Fei himself. No one else can see or touch it, naturally preventing theft.

In the stable state, it does not consume energy; every time the state switches, it extracts Crystal Energy from the Super Star Crystal. Currently, the top-grade Super Star Crystal can withstand up to a thousand switches. Additionally, in emergencies, this Artifact health bracelet will self-draw surrounding energy, converting it to Crystal Energy for passive charging. If there's extra Crystal Energy supplementation, that's even simpler.

Although Chen Fei infused a large amount of Alchemy knowledge for himself via Seed Nest McKenny, he actually lacks talent in Alchemy. So, though he understands, he cannot effectively utilize it, let alone research and design. The Magic Array used by the Airship and other Constructed Artifacts he tinkers with now is essentially only a superficial application by the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam," falling far short compared to truly brilliant Alchemists.

The design schemes for these two Alchemical Artifacts gave Chen Fei a great help. With the Psi Skill supplementing the existing resources, it only took a day to perfectly manufacture these two Alchemical Artifacts, the speed so fast that even the Alchemy Workshop is envious.

Lin Zio initially thought Chen Fei's side would lack the corresponding Alchemical materials and specially prepared a set. But until the video call, upon seeing the two Alchemical Artifacts, he realized the other party wasn't boasting, indeed possessing a very complete set of Alchemical Materials at hand.
