Chapter 101 Qiao Xing breaks the situation
After Yi Yuanhua led everyone to practice Ba Duan Jin, the people in the empire obviously calmed down.
The sentinels no longer had headaches or fought. Ordinary people felt that some of their chronic ailments seemed to have eased, and some minor ailments miraculously healed on their own.
The Empire's insect-hunting sentinels only dared to look for some second-level insects nearby. After killing the insects, they brought all the prey to Yi Yuanhua.
Ever since Yi Yuanhua discovered that the insect meat on this planet is edible and tastes good, like crab legs, he began to have the sentinels catch and kill insects.
After catching the insects, there is no need to roast them. Just peel off the insect meat and expose it to the sun. Soon the meat will be tender and delicious and ready to eat.
So during this period, the sentries began to take turns going out hunting and bringing back the prey for everyone to eat.
There are a lot of bugs on this planet, especially the second-level bugs, which have almost become a plague, but the water resources are pitifully scarce.
So now, Yi Yuanhua and the others have no shortage of food, but water is still scarce.
Liang Guang sighed. "Old Yi, this can't go on. Many ordinary people can't bear it anymore. If we continue like this, we'll face continued casualties. But these casualties are all ordinary people in the empire."
Having been an imperial soldier for a lifetime, I always have a firm desire in my heart to defend my country and protect ordinary people.
But now, they may have to give up these ordinary people.
Yi Yuanhua stared at the blue crystal stone in his hand.
There is such abundant water energy, why can't it turn into water?
If blue crystal could be turned into water, they could overcome their current predicament.
"Grandpa Yi, what are you doing?"
A voice suddenly appeared above Yi Yuanhua's head.
Yi Yuanhua was startled at first, but when he looked back, he was immediately ecstatic: "Qiao Xing!!"
Qiao Xing jumped down from above. "Grandpa Yi, it really is you."
Yi Yuanhua ran over in two or three steps, his surprise mixed with worry, "Qiao Xing, why is it you? How did you end up here? This is a wasteland where it's difficult to survive!"
Then, Qiao Xing's teammates jumped down one after another.
"Marshal Yi Lao." "Yi Lao." "Grandpa Yi Lao."
Everyone was covered in dust, but their faces were full of joy.
Yi Yuanhua and Liang Guang were surprised and delighted. "It's you! How did your science team end up on this planet? Come, sit down, come, sit down."
This is a cave opened up by Yi Yuanhua. Out of respect for him, Yi Yuanhua's cave is very quiet and well-kept secret, and no one can come in and out at will.
Qiao Xing and others squatted in front of Yi Yuanhua's incarnation, listening to Yi Yuanhua explain why the imperialists appeared here, and also listening to Qiao Xing say that his team had risked their lives to come to the wasteland planet for research.
Qiao Xing's teammates were surprised and asked, "You were actually sent to the Wasteland Planet by the Dark Tribe?"
"Has the Dark Tribe gone crazy? What's the purpose of making such a big fuss?"
"I think the Ninth Army of the Empire has gone crazy. Are they all useless? In the Imperial Capital, they actually let 50,000 people of the Empire be sent away by the Dark Tribe?! What is the Imperial Marshal doing for a living?"
The other teammates glanced at him, then looked at Qiao Xing and coughed a few times.
The teammate also realized his slip of the tongue and quickly said, "Brother Qiao Xing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Qiao Xing waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
Yi Yuanhua said: "This matter has little to do with Qiao Yuanyu. There are a lot of things involved, so I won't go into details here."
Everyone tacitly skipped this topic.
Qiao Xing talked about their discovery on Wasteland: "Marshal Yi, based on our geological survey, we judge that Wasteland should have been a pure water planet like Planet 7151. Its water resources are very abundant, but unfortunately, it had neither stars nor natural satellites at that time."
The former wasteland Saturn had no sun and no moon. It was an ice planet with abundant water elements.
Qiao Xing continued, "Later, due to interstellar changes and a violent celestial movement, it accidentally collided with two stars. These two stars, in turn, were inadvertently trapped by three black holes, trapping each other and forming a huge cage. Because of this, the planet's abundant water resources were compressed. Water resources will not disappear out of thin air, so they became the planet's specialty, blue crystal."
Yi Yuanhua took out the blue crystal stone and continued to look at it. "We also dug up the blue crystal stone. This stone is indeed very valuable and precious. It's a pity that it is just a stone and not water."
Yi Yuanhua sighed, "We can temporarily solve our food problem with insect meat, but we can't solve our water problem. Also, we can't contact the Empire. So the Empire can't save us."
If there is no water, ordinary people’s physiques cannot withstand it and they will die first.
The empire fell into unprecedented difficulties.
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Marshal Yi, we have actually figured out a way to turn this stone into water."
Yi Yuanhua came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
Qiao Xing: "Actually, it's my mother, Dr. Li. Her main research direction in recent years has been energy conversion. Since water resources can condense into stone, she wants to turn the stone into water."
Qiao Xing's expression turned proud. "After years of research, she succeeded."
Yi Yuanhua and Liang Guang's pupils trembled slightly.
Blue crystal turns into water!
What an achievement this is.
Qiao Xing continued, "As for contacting the Empire, ordinary signals cannot be transmitted, but our team is researching ways to transmit signals through black holes."
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "We have records of intermittent contact with the Empire, so you don't have to worry too much."
Yi Yuanhua was surprised and asked, "Can you contact the Empire?"
Qiao Xing said, "The signals passing through the black hole are always intermittent and incoherent, but if we just want to inform the empire that 50,000 people are on the wasteland, it shouldn't be difficult. It's just that the last sandstorm damaged our communication equipment, so we need some time to debug it."
Yi Yuanhua asked excitedly, "How long will it take?"
Qiao Xing replied: "About a month or so."
Yi Yuanhua was excited.
Qiao Xing and his men are the saviors of the 50,000 people of the empire! Great saviors!
Yi Yuanhua suddenly felt that things had turned around for the better.
The old man Qiao Yuanyu is indeed good at having children. No, it should be said that Xiao Li has good genes, and the children he gave birth to are all excellent!
Qiao Xing took out a large device from the space ring.
Yi Yuanhua looked at the large device and asked in surprise, "Could this be the conversion device that Xiao Li made?"
While debugging, Qiao Xing said, "Yes. However, this research is still in the middle stage, and the conversion efficiency is not high. Marshal Yi, give me the blue crystal stone in your hand."
Yi Yuanhua immediately handed the stone to him.
Qiao Xing placed the stone in. As he operated the machine, he said, "According to calculations, this stone should be equivalent to the water volume of a lake, but this machine can only convert it into about one ton of water. Get some containers and fill them with water for everyone to drink."
Yi Yuanhua was excited.
He almost thought that ordinary people in the empire were going to die here.
But if we have this machine, we don’t have to die!
Qiao Xing whispered, "This is a secret, and you have to be careful when drinking water. On Wasteland, water is a hard currency that is more valuable than gold. Be careful not to be robbed."
Yi Yuanhua nodded repeatedly.
Yi Yuanhua and Liang Guang filled containers with water and arranged to distribute it. Qiao Xing put away the device and returned the slightly dimmer blue crystal stone inside to Yi Yuanhua.
"There's still a lot of energy inside, but this machine can't extract it." Qiao Xing said.
Yi Yuanhua said excitedly: "It's already very good, it's really very good. Qiao Xing, you've been a great help, you saved my life!"
