Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 893 - 893: Section 886 - Harvest

Inside the bridge of the giant battleship, the three-dimensional holographic projection screen showed a light point descending from the sky and plunging into the stone pillar-strewn land, which then became completely motionless.

Two minutes later, a massive fireball rose like a volcanic eruption.

The entire ground within the abnormal region was trembling slightly due to the fierce explosion and high temperatures deep underground, which triggered a 4-5 magnitude earthquake. If the "isolation" set up earlier by the S-Class superpower users hadn't nearly completely separated this abnormal region, the shock waves might have transmitted to the external Blue Star, and the surrounding hundred miles would likely have felt significant quakes.

However, the "isolation" wasn't absolute as it left a window open, so some tremors were still transmitted to the nearby giant battleship.

"It should have completely turned to fossil."

Watching the screen filled with countless "giant batfish" flying wildly across the abnormal region, Miyoshi Xuesen had just spoken when the stone pillars started to dance madly. The ground cracked open, endless chasms formed, and countless creatures unable to dodge fell into The Abyss.

"It's still... still alive!"

S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown drew in a sharp breath.

The entire ground was not what they had guessed, made of decayed minerals; it still showed signs of life, which had been agitated by the impact of the ground-penetrating bomb, causing a reaction. Maybe it wasn't a struggle, but rather a common shake of its body hair?

If those variably sized and shaped stone pillars were considered body hair, it seemed plausible.

Doesn't human hair have a scaly structure on its surface too?

"Mr. Brown, can you handle that gigantic creature?"

Chen Fei stared unblinking at the apocalyptic scene.

The three-dimensional holographic projection screen flickered, and the views of the ground disappeared, clearly not spared from calamity.

"That gigantic... creature?" Heseman Brown pointed at himself, speaking very seriously: "Are you referring to me? Don't joke around! That creature is likely planetary-level. How could I possibly handle it? At least a star destroyer should be deployed!"

Upon finishing, his head shook like a rattle drum.

S-Class superpower users' psi skills aren't all world-destroying super moves; their application domains differ widely and include areas hard to reach for A-level superpower users and below.

Although Heseman Brown is a Space Series Ability User, his psi skill is neither adept at combat nor offensive, nor does it possess spatial storage capability; it mainly facilitates long-distance movement for himself and contacted objects.

In comparison to another S-Class Ability User Yan Ling's psi skill, Heseman Brown's requires less sacrifice to activate; he can deploy it repeatedly though its daily use is limited.

"'Adam', can you calculate the celestial diameter through surface curve calculation?"

Chen Fei was not greatly surprised whether it was dead or alive; the core entity of the abnormal region couldn't be shaken by mere ground-penetrating bombs.

The Command Center's approval of his proposal likely shared the same thought — to probe whether it was dead or alive.

Adam: Approximately 6100 kilometers in diameter.

In addition to subtitles that appeared on the AR visual assistance interface, a graphical comparison window popped up.

The Moon's diameter is 3476 kilometers, Blue Star's is 12742 kilometers; if this abnormal region is considered an asteroid, its diameter would be about 6100 kilometers, neatly taking the median value.

Of course, it must first satisfy that the asteroid's shape is perfectly spherical; otherwise, the answer given by Adam carries substantial error.

Boom!~

The world within the abnormal region emitted an apocalyptic roar. The ground fluctuated wildly, raising several high mountains or sinking as abyssal depths. The stone pillars swayed violently; countless stone scales peeled off, dust filled the air, and innumerable creatures perished. Even flying creatures like the "giant batfish" often couldn't evade the randomly flying gravel or sudden intense local meteorological changes, leaving many "giant batfish" unable to escape calamity.

The fierce impact waves even reached the window left in the "isolation," nearly brushing against the tops of hills, whipping up winds over ten levels.

People or livestock were unexpectedly swept into the air, flailing helplessly there.

"Open the isolation barrier, let the outsiders come in."

Seeing the unfortunate souls swept up by the chaotic currents triggered by the shock waves, Chen Fei made the call.

Within a few breaths, over ten people met unfortunate fates; humans swept up like ants, helplessly blown by the wind, the fall from such heights nearly guaranteed death.

When the isolation barrier opened, local nomads watching the commotion paid no heed to anything else, scrambling madly inward.

Luggage, possessions, vehicles, tents, livestock — none were brought; they gave their all to drill into the inner side of the isolation barrier, hiding under the hills and valleys beneath the giant battleship, looking back at the debris-laden strong winds outside, collectively trembling.

The giant battleship's sheer weight and streamlined exterior stood steadfast against the shock waves bursting from the "isolation" window.

Even so, once the winds calmed, a drone survey confirmed the casualty report: 38 dead, 237 injured, with remaining possessions and livestock losses difficult to account.

Not to mention being caught by the sudden winds, even getting struck by carried debris meant almost certain death or losing at least half a life.

"Dig a deep well, throw a Tsar inside, living or dead, blast it to dust!"

Chen Fei was inspired with a brash idea: dig a deep well with a two-meter diameter, go down past 1000 meters, then toss in a Tsar Plus, refill, and wait for it to collect the pieces.

If one Tsar Plus couldn't deal with the asteroid, then one hundred of them!

"No!" ×3!

S-Class superpower user Heseman Brown and Miyoshi Xuesen simultaneously objected, and a third voice came from the Command Center's one-on-one communication group.

Both objected due to insufficient intelligence gathering within the abnormal region; thoughtless act might cause catastrophes that were hard to handle, leading instead to unintended consequences.

And the communication group objected for another reason.

"Alright! Any new intelligence?"

Chen Fei waved both hands, he sensed the communication operator lady's opposing tone was peculiar.

"Collected samples contain numerous crystals, one of which has been identified as a superconducting crystal with ultra-wide temperature superconductivity ranging from above absolute zero to 2000 degrees Celsius."

The communication operator lady reported the latest research findings; the sample was taken from a stone pillar scale within the abnormal region.

X-rays quickly revealed many colorful crystals hidden within the stone scale, soon confirming the properties of one — an astounding find.

"Ah? A superconducting crystal that is wide-temperature! That's not particularly rare!"

Chen Fei did not find the superconducting crystal particularly precious; nowadays, Blue Star Civilization had mastered the mass production technology of room-temperature superconducting materials and applied them widely, even to households.

Superconducting wires not only carried electric energy transmission but also crystal energy delivery, achieving multifaceted use through a single line. Moreover, it wasn't expensive; though not as cheap as cabbage, it wasn't prohibitively costly either.

"The room-temperature superconducting materials we currently use are bio-based, having a lifespan issue; they'll transform within 120 years, their conductive properties rapidly declining. However, the superconducting crystal you collected can be used indefinitely as long as no physical damage occurs."

The communication operator lady quickly reviewed the latest research report to explain to Chen Fei knowledgeably.

Even a single superconducting crystal wouldn't allow Chen Fei to use Tsar Plus to flip the table, making the abnormal region merely desolate ruins afterwards, holding no value; it'd be akin to burning the piano or boiling the crane.

"I see!"

Chen Fei nodded in understanding.

Current mainstream superconducting wires were completely adequate for regular applications, more than enough. Not to mention 120 years, it might not even be needed for 20 years.

However, in certain special fields, especially military and permanent engineering projects, the 120-year lifespan of superconducting materials was clearly insufficient. A long-lasting, non-degradable superconducting material would be immensely welcomed.
