Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1328 - 674: The Best Opportunity in a Millennium (Part 2)

He turned the bracelet and released Xu Ying and Wen Guixin.

”You’re so slow!” Wen Guixin complained as soon as she was out, ”Hurry up and let us out... Ah! It’s already connected!”

Wen Guixin saw the purple-black light bridge on the horizon, her eyes heavy: ”It’s already connected!”

”So, did that creature say what the situation actually is?” asked Wang Lei.

”This light beam should be connected to our world tree,” Xu Ying also looked up at the sky, ”Their actions this time are probably very determined. Let’s talk while walking, we have no time to waste.”

The group continued towards the teleportation light columns surrounded by three world trees.

At the same time, Xu Ying and Wen Guixin shared the situation they had inquired about with the others.

The creature actually had never seen that teleportation light column bent, nor had he seen the light column connect to another target besides the home planet.

However, he knows that under normal circumstances, the alien invaders’ massive spacecraft requires the Transmission Array to perform its initial jump-start.

Simply put, it’s like a rocket’s launch mechanism; the Transmission Array is essentially the startup device for the alien invaders’ massive spacecraft.

Without such a gigantic Transmission Array, the alien invaders’ massive spacecraft cannot normally start and cannot properly enter space.

After all, such a massive and heavy spacecraft, if landing on a planet with strong gravity, it is quite difficult to take off.

”The spacecraft trying to take off or move on the surface of a planet with gravity consumes a lot of the internal energy of the spacecraft.”

Xu Ying explained to the group in a low voice, while looking at the three world trees in front of her.

Although internal energy is obtained through controlled nuclear fusion, which is not costly, controlled nuclear fusion is not the propulsion system; it is responsible for charging the propulsion system, and using it once requires a long charging period.

And the energy consumed when short-distance moving on a planet with gravity even exceeds the energy consumed in a single cosmic migration, which is why they use the Transmission Array to start.

But if using a super Transmission Array to start, that’s equivalent to consuming external energy.

And the supply of this external energy...

Everyone looked at the Transmission Array.

Around the array, three world trees formed a triangle surrounding the Transmission Array.

”...World Tree? Using the World Tree to absorb geothermal energy from hundreds of kilometers around, supplying the Transmission Array?” Xu Xin exclaimed.

”Yes, the World Tree is actually the key to providing the energy source for the Transmission Array,” Wen Guixin nodded.

”Do you remember how our Transmission Array came about? It was activated at the snow mountain summit during snow mountain activities,” Wen Guixin said, ”The small Transmission Arrays we have are essentially degraded versions of this super Transmission Array.”

Degraded versions...

Yet another degraded version.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Those Transmission Arrays also need external energy supply.

But because those Transmission Arrays are degraded versions, they don’t require the World Tree for supply; instead, a degraded version of the World Tree—a treehouse—is enough.

Thinking this way, it’s really enlightening, connecting everything together.

The treehouse is the degraded version of the World Tree, while their Transmission Array is the degraded version of the super Transmission Array.

All are degraded technologies, which makes sense.

The Transmission Array is alien invaders’ technology; they handed their technology to humans for use, how could they provide the real technology?

Even a degraded version, if not for survival selection, the alien invaders probably wouldn’t want to provide it.

Just didn’t expect that the technology of the Transmission Array they activated earlier was actually derived from the massive spacecraft’s starter...

”So, as long as the Transmission Array starts to move, it basically means the massive spacecraft is about to set out,” Xu Ying said, ”Because if it’s just a single person or a relatively small group of people moving, using a ’teleportation device’ would be sufficient.”

This is indeed the case.

”So, you all should understand now,” Wen Guixin looked at the purple-black light bridge piercing the sky, ”The Transmission Array hasn’t moved for a thousand years, this action shows they’re determined to win on our side.”

”So...” Zhao Xiaochuan looked at this world tree already close at hand, really failing to understand, ”What on earth are they up to, insisting on activating four massive spacecraft to go over...? Aren’t the massive spacecraft used for crossing star seas? Yet, after a thousand years, they’re activated again, with such effort, just to... cross half a planet to attack humans?”

”Yeah, I also want to ask!” Zeng Tao looked confused, ”The more that’s said, the more confused I get... Although it’s not good to say it this way, doesn’t it feel like... firing a cannon to tackle mosquitoes?”

”That’s because...”

Xu Ying revealed the reason guessed by the creature.

The creature told them that the other side is most likely... panicking.

Of course, the reason for panic is not mainly due to Xu Xin and their side.

Most likely because their internal conflict has intensified to a new level, causing panic.

This matter of internal conflict intensification has a certain relation to Xu Xin and their world tree.

Of course, the main reason should be the creature.

It’s a creature that played tricks on the alien invaders of this spacetime for fifty years. It’s a creature that made the alien invaders endure disgust to nurture humans for fifty years.

The betrayal and escape of the creature are the negligence of the trusting leader, which greatly diminished the leader’s authority among their followers.
