Chapter 377 Feeding the World Tree, Returning to Terra

Liu Chengen seemed somewhat hesitant, after all, the World Tree was too precious, both its seeds and fruits were.

What if things go wrong and the eggs are broken?

He said:

"Will this work?"

Lin Mo shrugged: "Why don't we try and see?"

"The Elven World Tree doesn't have a nuclear reactor; it can only be supplied by energy crystal veins. Due to this limitation, the supply is concentrated, resulting in a single seed!"

"But we have a nuclear reactor!"

"Absolutely enough energy!"

The researchers around them realized what was happening, and their eyes lit up.

"This...theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem!"

"We've all witnessed the speed at which the World Tree absorbs energy!"

"As long as the supply is sufficient, it should be able to support the simultaneous transformation of seven fruits!"

"Then what are we waiting for?!"

To verify Lin Mo's statement, Liu Chengen stood in front of the monitor and said:

"Immediately test the World Tree's absorption efficiency on the nuclear reactor!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the researchers inside the tent sprang into action.

The sound of keyboard typing filled the air.

A young researcher stared at the data flashing on the screen and said:

"Something's wrong! The World Tree's growth rate has stopped at zero since it started bearing fruit!"

"The energy absorption rate remains the same, but it's not being converted into tree growth!"

Liu Chengen squinted.

"Then increase the reactor power."

"yes!"

Deep underground, four nuclear fission devices are being adjusted in sync.

The power output increased from 30% to 50%.

In the surveillance footage, the fluorescence of the World Tree's trunk intensified.

Pale green fluorescent light seeped from the cracks in the bark, its glow brighter than before.

"The absorption rate has risen to 51%!" the researcher exclaimed, raising his voice.

"The tree is still not growing; according to the probe, all the energy is concentrated in the fruit!"

Liu Chengen took a deep breath.

"Keep adding! Seventy percent!"

The reactor increased its efficiency, and radiant energy surged toward the World Tree like a tidal wave.

"Seventy percent power!"

"Canopy fluorescence intensity increased threefold!"

"The fruit...the fruit has changed!"

This sentence made everyone turn to look at the main screen.

The drone hovered at the top of the tree canopy, its camera locked on the seven fruits.

On the surface of the lychee-sized fruit, a pale green sheen pulses like breath.

One light and one dark.

With each flash, the fruit seemed to grow a little larger, so much so that it would be difficult to detect with the naked eye without instruments.

"It's really growing!"

"My God, that speed..."

The researchers huddled around the screen, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Lin Mo stood at the back of the crowd, his pupils slightly dilating. Just as he had expected.

The World Tree stops growing after bearing fruit because all its energy is used to nurture the fruit.

As long as there is enough supply, the fruit can ripen faster!

Liu Chengen turned around and looked at Lin Mo.

"Continue adding?"

Lin Mo nodded. "Full power."

"Full power?!" Liu Chengen was stunned.

"The radiation is leaking out..."

"Let's test the limits of the World Tree," Lin Mo said calmly.

"Feed it!"

Liu Chengen remained silent for two seconds, then gritted his teeth.

"Running at full power!"

Deep underground, four reactors erupted simultaneously.

Radiation levels are off the charts, and nuclear fuel rods are being consumed rapidly!

The trunk of the World Tree trembled slightly, and a large amount of fluorescent light gushed out from the cracks in its bark.

This is the power of life!

The entire tree canopy seemed to be ablaze, its green light illuminating an area of ​​several kilometers.

"100% power!"

"Absorption rate of 97%!"

"Three percent of the radiation has leaked out, but the World Tree is absorbing it at an accelerated pace!"

"The fruit's growth rate has increased dramatically!"

In the surveillance footage, the seven fruits were seen expanding rapidly.

From the size of a lychee, to the size of an egg, and then to the size of a baby's fist.

The color changed from bluish-green to emerald green, and the fluorescence on the surface became brighter and brighter.

Holy crap!

"That's way too fast!"

"The World Tree's absorption capacity is practically a nuclear waste processor! It's so perfectly suited to our human civilization!"

The researchers were so excited they were practically dancing with joy.

Liu Chengen stared intently at the screen, his palms sweating profusely.

Lin Mo stood to the side, his heart also racing.

The changes at the top of the tree canopy are not visible to the naked eye, but the fruit in the monitoring footage is indeed growing.

The fruit of life has a smooth, jade-like, emerald-green surface that glows with a shimmering light, making it seem as if it were alive.

It's almost identical to the one the elf gave Lin Mo, only the color isn't quite at that level.

"Maintain stable power!" Liu Chengen ordered.

"Continue to monitor!"

Time passed by, second by second.

Outside the tent, the roar of the engineering corps' machines continued.

Inside the tent, everyone held their breath, staring intently at the screen.

The fruit's growth rate has begun to slow down, but it is still steadily increasing in size.

By evening, the fruit had finally stopped growing.

Seven fist-sized, emerald-green fruits hung from the branches, emitting a soft, fluorescent glow.

"It's a success..." Liu Chengen's voice trembled.

"It really worked!"

The surrounding researchers erupted in cheers.

Lin Mo smiled and asked:

"By the way, what about the other two World Trees?"

Liu Chengen switches the scene.

The World Trees of Tianyong City in Antarctica and Tianji City in the Arctic are still growing wildly.

The tree trunk has already exceeded one thousand meters in length, but there is still no fruit.

"They were planted late, so they're still growing," Liu Chengen said.

"It will probably take some time before the results are available."

Lin Mo nodded.

"Okay, then I'll head back to Terra first."

"Things have stabilized on Earth, but I haven't been back to Terra for several days."

Liu Chengen waved his hand.

"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here. I'll let you know if anything happens."

Lin Mo turned and left the tent, returning to the underground city and entering the room.

The Pangu mecha was stored in the spatial ring, and he lay down with the ring inside his mouth.

In a daze, my consciousness faded into darkness.

.......

Terra.

Lin Mo opened his eyes in the room.

Outside the window, two suns hung in the sky, casting their warm rays.

He walked out of the room; it had just rained.

"call--"

He took a deep breath.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of rain.

A rainbow stretched across the sky in the distance, its colors exceptionally vibrant.

"It's much more comfortable on Terra. Earth is so dark and gloomy."

Lin Mo stretched his shoulders and walked towards the command post.

The guards on both sides of the entrance followed silently.

Lin Mo had long been used to the presence of the guards.

Pushing open the door, I saw Long Zhan sitting at his desk, holding a document in his hand.

Seeing Lin Mo enter, he looked up, raised an eyebrow, and said:

"Commander Lin, you're back? How's it going on Blue Star?"

Lin Mo sat down in the chair.

"Everything is progressing steadily."

"After the World Tree is planted, it begins to bear fruit. Within the area covered by the World Tree, radiation levels drop to levels safe for humans."

"The engineering corps has moved in and begun large-scale construction."

A hint of relief flashed in Long Zhan's eyes.

"well!"

"Blue Star is about to undergo a major reshuffle. This reshuffle, under the World Tree's ecological transformation, can be considered a good thing."

"Oh, right," Lin Mo paused.

"Old Zhao has approved the destruction of all elevators and escalators in all underground cities that are not part of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Leave no one alive at the North and South Poles."

Long Zhan's gaze froze.

"Did you get them all?"

"Mm." Lin Mo nodded.

"After the US drones attacked the World Tree, Old Zhao decided to solve the problem once and for all."

Long Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said:

"Old Zhao is still too indecisive."

"If we keep those underground cities around, they'll become too big to handle sooner or later."
