At the Mars Base, the Star Hub District has the most satellite ground stations and observatories, the Dawn District has the most densely populated dormitories and bustling markets, while the Jade District is renowned for its comfort and livability.

Zhou Yi saw that the Jade District had a large number of high-rise buildings dozens of stories tall.

A projection wall displaying the light sign of [Jade City Building No. 7] on the outer wall of the building made it very eye-catching.

Akin proudly said, "Chairman, together with Building No. 7, I've set up the company's residential area here. It has a full capacity of 12 units, including eight high-rises of 33 stories, four medium-rise buildings of 11 stories each, and one two-level underground garage. The garage is now used to park shuttle vehicles."

"Buildings at the base usually do not exceed four stories. Although it won't get directly hit by dust storms here, outdoor dust currents are still strong, posing risks and wear on taller buildings."

"We don't have these issues because Building No. 7 can maintain and repair itself continuously."

He gestured animatedly and said, "Buildings here are directly connected to each other; it looks a bit crowded but ensures greater safety. If any unit has a potential hazard, residents can be transferred to another unit area. Building No. 7 will seal off the accident site and assist residents in evacuating promptly."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Visually, the core of the Jade District is the citadel formed by the merger of the 12 buildings of Building No. 7.

Passages exist between each building, resembling a massive courtyard fortress, with layers of indoor farms and gardens built in the middle for growing fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

Akin, the company's No.1 employee, once a scavenger boy, now has some stubble on his lips and chin and has become much more composed. Yet when he talks about what he has done, his eyes still shine.

He eagerly introduced, "Chairman, our type of ecological housing is supported by indoor farms on every layer. Through power generation lighting and temperature control, we can continuously produce vegetables and fruits. The carbohydrates needed for human survival are obtained through starch synthesis, from which simple foods like cakes, noodles, and bread can be made."

"We are expanding the ecological area, with transport from Earth to Mars being necessary. After all, it requires Light Core Bodies to do so, and each load and space is very precious. It would be best to solve the food issue here; we used to rely heavily on canned goods from Earth, but now the staple foods and vegetables are basically solved, leaving only the issue of meat."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "You want to start livestock farming here?"

"Yes!"

Akin grinned and said, "Mars has all this land, and there's plenty of underground space. In fact, we are already raising headless chickens, and the experience from Chicken Head Town can be directly replicated here."

"However, to raise chickens, we need to solve the issue of chicken feed. The company has years of experience in Insect Armor farming, and Brother A Feng is a leader in this area. Also needed are some vegetable leaves and grass feed."

"As long as we can get more land and space approved, we can open farms to raise chickens, and even pigs, cows, and fish…"

Zhou Yi found it hard to maintain composure: "The land is extremely valuable here at the base; there's no such large area for livestock."

"You're right, so I was thinking, could we open pastures and farms outside the base? I know this is very difficult, but as our technology advances, maybe there's a way. I just want to plan ahead so that we can act immediately when the time comes."

Akin dared to dream and speak out.

This problem seemed to stump Zhou Yi a bit.

Previously, one could say this was practically impossible.

Outside the base, dust storms rage, with Light Core Level Killer Rats lurking everywhere, going out there is courting death.

But now there is a slight chance.

"Write a detailed and feasible plan, fully considering Mars' natural conditions and the needs and feasibility of livestock farming, also stating the difficulties to be resolved. Be objective and practical; write the problems as they are without avoidance. Then give it to me."

"Yes, Chairman!"

A Jie was pleasantly surprised: "I actually have it written already; I'll revise it and show it to you when I get back."

"Hmm."

...

Two hours later.

Zhou Yi came to the rooftop of Jade City Building No. 7.

Here, an observatory had been set up, through which the high-altitude hole could be clearly seen through the lens, cloaking the base from above to form a certain special protection.

Similar to the Forbidden Continent.

The central area of the hole was a stretch of Crystal Palace, but some force distorted vision and consciousness observation, making it impossible to glean the internal situation.

In the sky, a black urchin-like Hei Fu was flying, and an Ice Pot had already turned into a giant golden pot. The two Light Core Body employees carried the transparent container with Qing Liu and connected with the high-altitude structure of Mars Base.

The Cat God, in the form of a ball lightning, served as the observer and communicator.

The Cat God said, "Chairman, everything is normal at the moment."

"Qing Liu reported the internal situation as stable."

"Next, we will inject a large amount of hydrogen into it. Should we start now?"

Zhou Yi said, "Begin."

"Understood."

Upon receiving the order, the body of the Ice Pot stretched out golden lines descending to the ground cargo area.

A myriad of hydrogen tanks were guided along the golden lines into the sky, docking with the Transparent Castle to complete the hydrogen input. Once finished, these metallic tanks were retrieved by the golden lines back to the ground.

The entire transportation process resembled a super conveyor belt.

After an hour of continuous transfer.

The Cat God said, "Chairman, it is now saturated inside. The Ice Pot is now an LV5 Light Core Body, but it can't withstand the high internal pressure to continue hydrogen injection. The pressure inside the Transparent Castle has reached the limit of Light Core Body level."

Zhou Yi immediately announced, "Stop, prepare for the Gemstone Transformer to connect."

Finally, a Transformer with a gem structure appeared high in the sky.

It had long arrived on Mars, with the Night God personally overseeing the interior controls to ensure the entire process remained stable and controllable.

The Night God said, "Shall I begin?"

"Yes."

The Gemstone Transformer's two wide wings, shaped like tridents, connected at this moment to the Transparent Castle Group.

A Transformer enters the scene.

Real-time information came from the Cat God side: "Chairman, the Gemstone Transformer is still increasing the hydrogen inside the container! As expected of a Transformer... it produces hydrogen internally, unlike us who forcibly inject it from outside."

"Only this way can the limits of external repulsion force be broken... the transparent components inside have been activated, many are spinning rapidly, showing new transformations, perhaps this is the true working form!"

Zhou Yi felt slightly at ease hearing this.

The essential element of the Gemstone Transformer is hydrogen, it can produce hydrogen, and the released Light Cage is the effect of hydrogen capable of fusion and energy release.

This is no coincidence. The Heavenly People and the Seeder are closely related.

The planets altered by the former have biological laboratories established by the latter; the containers where the latter hatch and cultivate the next generation descendants are also transformations of Heavenly People Gems.

Zhou Yi suspected that the Ancient Plate Tree bioengineering was probably created by the Seeder helping the Heavenly People.

The two are closely related, but facing enemies and war, they exhibit completely different responses.

The Heavenly People choose to confront directly.

The Seeder, on the other hand, distances itself.

Perhaps this difference is due to varying personalities and methods of conduct.

"Chairman, it's moving, it's moving, the entire building complex is starting to move!"

The voice of the Cat God interrupted Zhou Yi's thoughts.

He saw it too.

The transparent palace high above started contracting and rotating, gradually transforming into a massive ring shape.

Within the transparent ring structure, a large amount of silver liquid metal was flowing and spreading, like the current body of Qing Liu. The entire transparent giant ring was completely coated with a bright silver color with strong reflective properties.

A voice echoed in Zhou Yi's mind.

It was Qing Liu.

"Chairman, I am now integrated with the entire Transparent Castle, this thing's true name is [Seeder Ship], composed of a massive seed vault combination. I am connecting with your consciousness through the Seeder Ship."

"This is a device left by the Seeder, capable of accommodating various life seeds."

"Now we can proceed to capture and collect the Flying Rods; please issue an order."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath: "Capture the Flying Rods, execute immediately."

"Received!"

As soon as the words fell.

The silver ring suddenly erupted with thick and colorful ripples, like flames, whirlpools, streams of water, and magma. These ripples covered the entire sky above Mars, continuously flowing and surging.

Zhou Yi recalled observing the ripples of Meat Mountain, it yielded similar results.

Only the current intensity is stronger than back then, almost covering the entire sky above the planet, forming a layer akin to the Sea of Consciousness.

He observed for only a few seconds.

Zhou Yi felt a splitting headache, his consciousness began to fragment.

His vision turned pitch black.

It's an intensity of consciousness that only a Transformer can access; he currently cannot directly perceive or comprehend it.

He immediately cut off the observation and ordered: "Everyone in the company, do not observe the sky!"

Through the transfer of Qing Liu's consciousness.

Zhou Yi still saw the events occurring in the sky.

The silver ring of the Seeder Ship produced a Sea of Consciousness covering the high atmospheric sky of the entire planet, violently enveloping and propelling various consciousnesses within, conducting filtering.

The Mars Flying Rods, originally roaming in high altitudes, were captured and drawn by the Sea of Consciousness, gathering from all directions into the Seeder Ship, entering a spiral channel on the ring.

"Chairman, mission accomplished!"

Qing Liu said: "4 Flying Rods have been captured."

"Wasn't it 6?"

Zhou Yi was puzzled.

"That's right, 2 Flying Rods previously fell into disarray due to the impact of the giant dust storm, resulting in collisions and explosions. Only 4 remain now."

Zhou Yi remembered.

Earlier, the Electric Soul on Mars witnessed this event, Mao Dali had informed him.

Capturing 4 is good enough.

The most important thing is, the Transformer Flying Rods have all been captured, this unlocks the largest shackles on Mars.

At this moment.

Qing Liu continued: "Chairman, these Flying Rods have all been modified, their consciousness is incomplete, they're no longer normal life forms. Issuing new orders to them will be difficult, they will only carry out previous tasks... unless they're re-fused, but I'm not familiar with this technology."

Zhou Yi said: "Just confine them, manage the risks first."

The hydrogen-based life suddenly suggested: "I have an idea. You can invite Jiong Hecang, I can help them fuse through the Seeder Ship, perhaps Jiong Hecang can act as the main consciousness, leading them into action."

Zhou Yi listened and his eyes gleamed.

Such an operation exists?

Then it must be done!
