A large expanse of lush green crops grew in Lu Yun's eyes like a miracle.
Yang Tao picked two ripe tomatoes, threw one to Lu Yun, and seeing him clumsily catch it, he smiled and said, "Try it, it's pure, green, and pollution-free."
"How... how is this possible? Don't these crops need photosynthesis?"
This was too unscientific.
Wandering Earth also had planting areas, but they used so-called grow lights, and the growth efficiency was extremely low...
Most of it was still fungi, algae, and synthetic starch, used to make compressed food.
As for the taste...
It could only be described as edible.
"Isn't there a light source up there? Haha, you don't need to think too much about a Transmigrator's matters. Actually, I also find it incredible that Wandering Earth wasn't torn apart by the Planetary Engines."
In the original work, it took 43 years for the Planetary Engines to stop the Planet's rotation, during which countless people worldwide died in various natural disasters.
In reality, if there was truly such immense thrust, then none of the shelters beneath the Planetary Engines would have survived.
However, the plan proposed by Wandering Earth was indeed executable, far better than some fantasy worlds masquerading as science fiction.
Lu Yun took a fierce bite of the tomato; its cool, sweet-and-sour taste invigorated him. He lowered his head slightly, as if pondering something important. After Yang Tao finished his entire tomato, Lu Yun looked up again at Yang Tao and said, "I... I want to report your matter."
"Hm?"
Yang Tao smiled, looking at him with his eyes turning into Sharingan, and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll control you?"
"I am, but this is too important for us humans..."
Looking at the serious Lu Yun, Yang Tao walked up to him and asked, "Why don't you report it secretly? That way, I wouldn't necessarily suspect it was you."
Lu Yun showed a bitter smile and said, "When you first said you were a Transmigrator, I didn't believe it at all, but the various abilities you've displayed forced me to believe."
"Based on novel experience, if you really are a Transmigrator, if I provide you with some help, I should be able to get a lot in return."
"But... the abilities you are now demonstrating are simply too important for all of humanity."
"The reason I'm telling you this is because I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong. I can't foresee the consequences of reporting it. I can only tell you, and you make the decision."
Yang Tao looked at Lu Yun, who was only a few years older than him, and suddenly smiled broadly, his previously blood-red eyes returning to normal as he said, "From your perspective, you didn't do anything wrong."
"Actually, the only thing in this world worth my attention is some of your technology, and to acquire technology, I also need to contact your leaders. This is unavoidable."
"It's just that I want to explore this world by myself first..."
If he couldn't gain exploration value, then he would just bring back some talented people. He couldn't come all this way for nothing.
Lu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yang Tao's explanation. When he decided to disclose the reporting matter, he had already prepared himself to become a puppet.
Fortunately...
He made the right gamble.
He was truly sweating, brother.
Then he thought of another question and said, "You... aren't you afraid of being dissected?"
Yang Tao, who was calculating how to expand the space, heard Lu Yun's words and immediately showed a 'kindly nuclear' smile, saying, "I can destroy all Planetary Engines in one day..."
Lu Yun: "..."
No wonder Yang Tao acted like a tourist; if he had those abilities, he wouldn't be eating beef anymore.
The next morning.
Lu Yun, with bloodshot eyes, followed behind Yang Tao, looking at the fully mature crops. Having not slept all night, he felt extremely excited and not sleepy at all.
Yang Tao, meanwhile, was still continuously expanding the underground space. Because of the quartz block reinforcement, there was no need to worry about collapse, so he could just dig mindlessly.
"Lu Yun, what time is it? Aren't you coming to work yet?"
Suddenly, a voice came from Lu Yun's walkie-talkie, breaking the silence in the underground space.
Yang Tao stopped his movements, looked at Lu Yun, and said, "I forgot the time when I got busy."
He surveyed the surrounding space, which was almost as large as a big plaza, and nodded in satisfaction.
He picked two huge cherries from a nearby tree and popped them into his mouth; they were truly delicious and juicy.
"Lu Yun, what do you think if I exchange the crops here for a Planetary Engine and its corresponding technology?"
Hearing Yang Tao's words, Lu Yun somewhat suspected he had misheard.
Planetary Engine?
"What do you want that for?"
Could it be that you can even take it away?
Yang Tao showed a meaningful smile and said, "Of course, I have a bold idea."
Who wouldn't want an 11,000-meter-tall Transformer!
Is the Allspark's power not enough? Then find a way to charge it!
Lu Yun was bewildered.
"I... I don't know either."
"Then you can report it. Tell them I will return here in three days."
"You're leaving?"
"I need to make some preparations."
With that, Yang Tao summoned a wooden door and said to Lu Yun, "Then I'll be going now."
Looking at the wooden door that disappeared into thin air, and surveying the surrounding green crops and strange fruit trees, Lu Yun glanced at the cherry in his hand before directly popping it into his mouth.
Bang bang...
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
"So sweet..."
...
Returning to the Overworld, Yang Tao immediately put the Allspark, which was displayed in a glass cabinet, into his backpack and strode towards the world of 'I Am Legend'.
Pushing open the wooden door.
What met his eyes were dozens of towering Autobots. His appearance also attracted the attention of these Transformers.
"I'm looking for Optimus Prime."
Bang... bang...
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, the red and blue Optimus Prime walked out from among a group of warehouse-like buildings.
"Yang Tao, thank you for everything you've done for the Autobots, but what brings you here this time?"
"I want to transform new Transformers."
Optimus Prime looked at the Allspark Yang Tao took out and nodded slightly, saying, "That's not a problem."
With that, he reached out and took the Allspark from Yang Tao's hand, asking, "Is it a warship this time?"
Yang Tao just smiled faintly.
Optimus Prime's metallic face furrowed slightly: "Could it be an aircraft carrier?"
Yang Tao waved his hand and said, "No, this time it's just an engine..."
Optimus Prime breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. An engine? How big could an engine be? Even a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier's engine would only be slightly larger than himself. For the Allspark, it was no problem at all.
"A single engine is 11km tall, with a main body diameter of about 30km, and including the base, a diameter of about 50-60km..."
Optimus Prime's large hand trembled, and the Allspark in his hand fell to the ground: "Mr. Yang, please forgive me, I am powerless. To transform such a large Transformer, the amount of Allspark energy required is almost incalculable. At the very least, the Allspark would need to absorb the powerful stellar energy of a star like the sun to make it move."
"Oh, isn't this a coincidence! How did you know I have an unwanted sun?"
Optimus Prime looked at the smile on Yang Tao's face and for the first time felt what it was like to be drenched in sweat.
