"To dismantle its String Light Shackles, it is necessary to separate and intercept the local string light."

703 explained his thought process: "Chairman, what I am thinking is, don't we have a gemstone technology called the String Light Surface? If we can create that device and connect it through the Artificial Sun, we could alter the string light in the Dead Sea, thereby liberating it from its distortion of consciousness."

"Even though it's uncertain whether the Dead Sea Master would join the company, I think it would at least want to break free from the string light's constraints and gain freedom."

"For this reason, it will cooperate with us, and we may gain some clues about the string civilization from it."

That's indeed true.

Zhou Yi asked, "What additional support do you need?"

"Apart from the String Light Surface, we need more Artificial Suns."

703 stated frankly: "Because to further intercept the Death Light from the sky, more Artificial Suns are needed. I've surveyed and calculated that we need to cover at least 5% of the surface area, especially in the Dead Sea Zone, to achieve a continuous effect."

"We need three more Artificial Suns, and then everyone operating at full power will yield results."

Zhou Yi nodded.

To build three more Artificial Suns, five String Light Surfaces.

The cost of this gemstone is not low.

However, it is not an unachievable task at the moment.

Previously, we did not push for this because we were testing the practical applications of the Artificial Sun.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

703 added: "Chairman, I've conducted an electromechanical transformation of the Artificial Sun, using mechanical life as the main control."

"As you can see, this No. 2 Artificial Sun is divided into two parts."

"The first is the computation room, fully operated through the [Tao] program. The Artificial Sun's daily operation will be managed by them in a digital manner, including analyzing internal and external information and observing gemstone structures, all handled by them."

Zhou Yi asked, "Is it the room next door?"

"Yes!"

"The computation room is responsible for data calculations, providing conclusions and recommendations based on data. It can be seen as an onboard data center."

"The second is the control room where I am, which is dedicated to decision-making and human intervention. Some decisions may not be optimal currently, but due to subjective choices and paths, they will lead us in the direction we need most."

"Unlocking the Dead Sea Master, the best method is to have the Artificial Sun ascend to a high orbit or submerge into the Dead Sea, fully power on and monopolize the energy inside, and information will be fully collected. However, this will impact other species in the Dead Sea. But according to the company's existing policy, we still choose a slightly more gentle approach..."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, "Interception can fully remove the Death Light from the sky... do you mean that with enough Artificial Suns, the Death Light can be completely eradicated from the surface?"

"Strictly speaking, it can't be completely eradicated, as the Artificial Sun's power cannot achieve 100% absorption, even at full capacity, it's only an LV5 level Light Core Body, there are still limits under natural forces. It can reach about 95.3% efficiency, which will make the Dead Sea Zone tend to resemble land, and will disperse the structure of the light fog, causing a significant ecological transformation."

703's words shook Zhou Yi's heart greatly.

Damn.

The Artificial Sun is so powerful... So this is the correct way to use it.

With enough Artificial Suns deployed, the Dead Sea can be completely cleared.

This way, the issue of Earth's lack of arable land can be resolved, and the cities of the past can be rebuilt!

He took a few deep breaths.

Zhou Yi's gaze returned to the spherical stone "Friday" in front of him: "Are you certain you can completely clear the Dead Sea from the surface, making it resemble the land's Death Light density?"

"This is 100% certain."

703 said: "According to the survey, the baseline density of land Death Light is 1.0, and after Artificial Sun absorption, the Death Light density in the original Dead Sea can be reduced to about 1.31. Mushrooms can be planted and air purifiers deployed to further reduce the original accumulated Death Light radiation compounds, making those areas safe enough."

"This level is within the range humans can withstand."

Zhou Yi hardened his heart: "If we are to strip the Dead Sea from the surface, what additional conditions are needed?"

703 was stunned: "Chairman, do you want to choose this direction? A lot of Artificial Suns are needed. Considering the scale effect, even if marginal connections can be achieved, at least 81 Artificial Suns are needed to fully cover the Dead Sea Zone."

81 Artificial Suns.

Zhou Yi calculated in his mind, with the cost of 40.8 million Blue Gemstones per unit, that's a minimum cost of 3.3 billion gemstones.

We'll have to pull more resources from Venus.

He also had to prepare on both fronts, collecting more bodies from the Heavenly Person Graveyard.

Gathering bit by bit, the numbers can slowly add up.

"However, Chairman, if we do this, the Dead Sea on the surface will disappear, which may cause significant disturbance to the Dead Sea's ecology. The Guangna Species settled in the Dead Sea might not be able to adapt to terrestrial life. Without geographical separation, it could lead to more intense and acute racial conflicts."

703 thought about it thoroughly.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Don't worry about that. We're just relocating the Dead Sea to the sky."

"A Dead Sea in the sky?"

"Yes. Just like the Outer Sea, we are not eradicating the Dead Sea entirely, but relocating the Inner Sea to a higher altitude, closer to the Outer Sea."

Zhou Yi continued: "The No. 1 Artificial Sun has already proven that artificially altering the atmospheric environment is feasible. Our cluster of Artificial Suns can mimic the Outer Sea model to relocate the Inner Sea to higher altitudes... This can be done, right?"

"Please hold on, I will calculate in the computation room."

Half an hour later.

703 said: "Your idea is feasible in the data domain. By imitating the relocation of the Outer Sea, the Artificial Sun can construct a new ecological region in the high-altitude airflow layer through directional refraction of the Death Light."

"If in the high altitude we use Artificial Suns as core energy nodes, the Artificial Dead Sea can also accommodate the Guangna Species' survival."

"It's just necessary to construct some floating support points because some Guangna Species cannot fly, and physical support is still required. But this can indeed be done."

"However, there might be considerable dissatisfaction with large-scale relocation."

That is certainly true.

Human relocation encounters numerous issues even when moving from the east to the west of a city.

Not to mention Guangna Species, who must move from the ground to the sky.

But Zhou Yi thought clearly: "This is not compulsory. We will implement it gradually based on different regions. For example, finding the indigenous people according to the different Dead Sea zones, solving their relocation problems, providing some compensation, and then starting to clear the local Dead Sea."

The Dead Sea is not characterized by water flow, it is essentially a special energy transmitted through light. As long as the refraction Circular Flow is cut off from above the source, and the deposited Death Light radiation compounds on the surface are cleaned, dispersing the floating smog, the land will quickly become usable.

The nearby Dead Sea will not fill the vacant area.

He explained his thought process: "We don't need to eliminate all the Dead Sea, we approach it according to local conditions, starting with the five main areas of our Development Alliance, aiming to connect them from the surface... meaning one Artificial Sun should be enough?"

"Do you think this is feasible?"

703 calculated and responded: "Chairman, no problem! If done in the form of demolition or relocation, the whole operation becomes much simpler, as long as compensation and supply are in place, many local Guangna Species would be willing to relocate."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Then we'll start from Sand Port outward. I'll have Cao Dayuan in charge of the ground relocation promotion and the communication and negotiation with the Guangna Species in the Dead Sea. Three major Sea People Gangs will assist in this regard."

Cao Dayuan has always served as the community director of Jade City, skilled at coordinating everyone's conflicts and relationships. In the past, he brought many people into Jade City and resolved numerous neighborhood disputes. He's most suited for the Dead Sea relocation.

A few days later.

The demotion activity of the Dead Sea around the Sand Port Region unfolded vigorously.

The sea of lingering light fog that had been around for years began to recede, revealing the thick dust and numerous fragments beneath it.

Since the Wasteland era, the land launched its first major offensive against the Dead Sea.
