Wasteland Development Diary

After calming down, Zhou Yi thought about it.

Within the Golden Elephant Valley, the Golden Elephants roamed, with adults mating and giving birth to calves. After death, they would transform into Golden Elephant Banners, evolving towards the Golden Branches. After adulthood, they were clearly Light Core Entities, yet they never stepped out of here...

If they were being raised here, then everything made sense.

He immediately asked, "Who are the ones cutting up the Golden Elephants?"

"I don't know."

Binghu said, "The Golden Elephants have never seen them either. It's just that after the Golden Elephants grow to a certain size after adulthood, their bodies will be harvested. Or, like this one, if they are injured for various reasons and find it difficult to continue living, they will also be targeted for harvesting."

"The vast majority of their power is stored in their bodies, and the transformed gold is also concentrated there."

"Gold?"

Zhou Yi suspected he had misheard, "Are you saying they take the Golden Elephants' bodies for gold?"

"That's how the Golden Elephants understand it."

Binghu said, "Golden Elephants are golden creatures; they assimilate and transform various substances into gold, integrating it into their bodies to strengthen themselves."

"They only have the ability of alchemy."

"Having ready-made gold is of course the best, but it seems it's not easy to find a large amount of gold in the outside world."

"The growth of Golden Elephants is extremely dependent on gold; their strength is highly correlated with the weight and content of their own gold. Their life is a process of constantly searching for and creating gold."

Zhou Yi vaguely remembered.

Gold is a heavy metal formed during stellar explosions and collisions, with extremely harsh conditions for its creation, so theoretically, its content is very low on other planets.

In other words, the Golden Elephant herders obtain large amounts of gold through the Golden Elephants?

But raising Light Core Entities to create gold...

It sounded too extravagant.

"Transforming gold is not an easy task either."

Binghu continued, "Metals similar to gold are the easiest to transform; silver and lead are high-quality Golden Elephant food, which can be quickly transformed into gold. Substances like water, air, wood, and ordinary stone are much more difficult to transform, requiring years of continuous assimilation to stabilize them."

No wonder the places they stepped on would briefly condense gold.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but wonder, "They haven't seen the harvesters, why don't they run? Are they afraid or unable to?"

"Chairman, they have nowhere to go."

Binghu's voice carried a hint of heaviness, "They are born here, unaware of the outside world. The place their feet can tread is the invisible Golden Elephant Valley."

"All Golden Elephants are born unable to see, hear, or smell; they can only rely on a faint perception of external energy. They only have four legs that can move, and their bodies are in a narrow place they cannot describe."

"In the Golden Elephants' perception, the world is this big, born crowded and difficult to recognize."

"It's not that they haven't thought about going to other places, but they simply cannot understand that there are other external existences."

Zhou Yi understood the general idea.

Many people laugh at frogs in a well, but some frogs have no choice; they are born at the bottom of the well, and all they have is the narrow sky above the well opening.

"They live in confusion, and this confusion gradually turns into numbness until death."

Binghu said, "For the Golden Elephants, all they can do is keep walking. But they don't know where they are going, and walking can only circle around in this area."

Zhou Yi clearly felt that the Atmospheric Creature had absorbed the consciousness fragments of the dead Golden Elephant, and its emotions were also seriously affected.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry, Chairman, although the Golden Elephant's fragmented consciousness is simple, it has a large capacity. I have inherited its cognition, memory, and power, and I must also bear its pain."

Binghu said frankly.

"However, I have also obtained its ability from these incomplete consciousnesses."

Zhou Yi was surprised, "After the Atmospheric Creature absorbs the consciousness body, can it acquire the other party's ability?"

Binghu said, "No. It's just that when the Golden Elephant was dying, it released a strong desire in its consciousness to return to its birthplace. I comforted it because you asked those two Weapon Maids to step aside, so it gave me a gift."

"The structure of the Atmospheric Creature is gaseous, while it is metallic. There is actually a big difference between us, and we are incompatible. But this ability is truly acquired."

Zhou Yi felt a burst of comfort in his heart.

Binghu showed the temperament that was consistent with the Wasteland Company.

Do good deeds, don't ask about the future.

That's good.

Binghu was a little confused, "Chairman, now I also don't know what to do."

"The alchemy gifted by the Golden Elephant can transform gold. As the amount of gold continues to increase, it will become stronger and stronger, using it as a carrier."

"By stably adsorbing and storing huge amounts of consciousness fragments and arranging them in an orderly manner, it can directly transform into a Light Core Entity... This is a very unique and powerful talent."

"But this ability is incompatible with me."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, "What's incompatible? Methods are rigid, be more flexible!"

Now that there is a stable path to becoming a Light Core Entity, what do you need a motorcycle for?

The Atmospheric Creature argued, "But alchemy requires creating a huge golden body, and I will become very heavy, completely losing my previous flexibility."

Zhou Yi thought for a while and offered a suggestion, "How about creating a golden solid core? That is, use your existing atmospheric form as the outer layer, and the inner core becomes a golden structure."

"Chairman, this will consume much more energy than now."

"Light Core Entities, what are you talking about if the power is low?"

Zhou Yi asked, "How do the Golden Elephants absorb energy?"

"Gold, gold is energy."

Binghu explained, "At least for the Golden Elephants, that's how it is. They can transform gold into energy for use, so the larger the body size, the more energy can be called upon."

"They can use alchemy to unlock the stable structure of gold and release the vast energy inside."

Zhou Yi's heart was moved.

This system has high value for exploration.

He immediately said, "Do you know about gaseous planets?"

"I don't know."

So Zhou Yi told Binghu, "Gaseous planets, according to the technological observations of the old humans, like Jupiter, the outer layer is a very thick and dense atmosphere. But as you go deeper into the planet, with the rapid increase in pressure and temperature, hydrogen will undergo a transition from gaseous to liquid, and even to solid."

"They have a solid core inside, maintaining a three-layer structure of solid, liquid, and gas from the inside out. This is a stable form that already exists in nature, and you can imitate this structure."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Over the years, he has not read all kinds of books for nothing.

After Binghu inquired and understood a lot of details, he couldn't help but sigh, "So there are such substances."

"What you said reminds me of my own structure."

"Atmospheric creatures themselves are also layered internally. The closer you get to the inner region, the higher the density and the higher the energy level. This is purely at the energy level."

It described, "So there are usually two ways. Either shrink yourself extremely, like turning into a bracelet shape now, compressing the density extremely, and transforming it into a solid with very high mass."

"The advantage is that the single-point strength is very high, and the space occupancy rate is low, but if attacked, it will also suffer very high damage."

"Another way is to continue to expand and maintain a low-density, large-area coverage."

"The advantage is that with this spread-out structure, no matter how you attack, only very small local areas are damaged. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to concentrate all the power to one point, and the direct confrontation strength is insufficient."

"The gaseous planet you mentioned made me see a way to combine the advantages of both forms."

Immediately.

The Atmospheric Creature gradually turned into a gray sphere.

It flew to the Golden Elephant Banner.

"Chairman, I want to transform it into a part of my new body. It has very strong energy, and the gold density and purity are extremely high."

Zhou Yi was stunned, "You can move it?"

"Yes."

"Because I possess the consciousness of its previous stage, the Golden Elephant. It belongs to the Golden Elephant's remnant body and has not yet completed its complete evolution. The connection between consciousness and matter still exists and is still close."

The Atmospheric Creature said, "I want to try."

Although the Golden Elephant Banner may develop into a Golden Branch that enslaves life.

But.

Zhou Yi chose to believe first, "Then you can try."

The cloud-like Binghu suddenly unfolded and turned into white mist, covering the golden pillar.

A large amount of gas mist suddenly shrank into the gold.

The Golden Elephant Banner continued to shrink and become smaller, and flew from the lead block to Zhou Yi.

It became the size of a fountain pen.

No gas could be seen around.

Zhou Yi was a little surprised, "You completely transformed into a golden state?"

"Yes. Chairman."

Binghu said, "I used alchemy to transform myself into a solid and stable golden structure. I can transform back into a gaseous state when needed. This is a combined application of me and alchemy."

"After transforming into a golden state, my whole body is highly stable. Even in an environment with absolutely no energy, there will be no body consumption or consciousness dissipation. This is a huge advantage."

"The Golden Elephant Banner is dominated and controlled by me, just like humans using enhanced organs. This feeling is very wonderful. However, it is highly compatible with my Golden Elephant consciousness, so it is very convenient to use. I am still gradually understanding it..."

"But I feel that I am now very close to the Light Core Entity. As long as there is a large amount of gold, or silver and lead, I can break through to that level."

That makes things a lot easier.

Zhou Yi pinned the golden pen on his chest - it directly adhered to his clothes.

Seeing this scene, Bai Bi widened her eyes, "Mr. Zhou, you, you controlled the Golden Elephant Banner?"

"Almost."

The rabbit-eared girl was overjoyed, "That's great! I was worried that it would be difficult to contain this thing. We have already contained several Golden Elephant Banners, and there is no place to put them at home."

"They are very special in themselves and require corresponding equipment and devices to suppress development and growth. Everyone is very worried."

Zhou Yi's eyelids jumped.

The Bingzhu lineage is indeed rich and generous, and they have several Golden Elephant Banners in their collection.
