Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 365 - 366: Giant Planet Remodeling Project! Crystal Acquisition!

Chapter 365: Chapter 366: Giant Planet Remodeling Project! Crystal Acquisition!

Every star cluster-level civilization has its own intelligence system.

According to their investigative analysis, people have gained much understanding of Gu Qijue and the Infinite Empire.

Almost every star cluster civilization knows that Gu Qijue has mastered many formidable black technologies.

But evidently, Gu Qijue has done an excellent job in secrecy, as no one knows the exact location of his production lines to this day.

Chonghan Base, which was originally a base of the Frozen Star Cluster civilization.

After the Klein People instigated conflicts on the Ice River Battlefield, Chonghan Base was turned into ruins.

To express gratitude to Gu Qijue, the Frozen Star Cluster gifted Chonghan Base to him after he expressed a wish to purchase it.

Like a cunning hare with many burrows, Gu Qijue does not plan to put all his eggs in one basket.

Whether it’s the Black Stone Base in the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster, or Fubei Port Base, and now Chonghan Base, he intends to construct them simultaneously.

Compared to Black Stone Base and Fubei Port Base, Chonghan Base obviously has more potential.

His mechanical crystal ants can continuously mine resources nearby.

All over Chonghan Base, members of the Black Stone Legion are constructing defense works.

Meanwhile, Gu Qijue is in the command hall pondering how to use the resources at hand.

He is not thinking alone; Mengli’s holographic projection is seated not far from him.

Moreover, Mengli is doing something that surprises Gu Qijue—she is drinking coffee.

Gu Qijue immediately stops thinking and asks: "Can energy state life forms also drink coffee?"

Mengli appears as a semi-transparent beauty, her entire being composed of energy.

Upon hearing his question, Mengli makes a gesture in response.

She sticks out her pink tongue.

The meaning is clear: she can switch at will between biological and energy states.

And it’s not the usual complete transformation, but a partial one.

In this technology, partial transformation is more difficult than complete transformation.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qijue nods slightly: "I see."

Then he looks at Mengli and says: "Miss Mengli, could you give me some advice?"

"How can I make the best use of the resources I currently have?"

The Infinite Engine could also do this.

But the Infinite Engine can only produce products using Crystal Race technology.

Now that he has also made contact with the Holy Mark Civilization, there’s no need to rely on just one path.

He can fully utilize both the Crystal Race and Holy Mark Civilizations to maximize the use of the resources at hand.

Mengli takes another sip of coffee before saying, "Well, I can suggest a few things, but there’s a consultation fee involved."

Hearing this, Gu Qijue can’t help but tease: "Miss Mengli, why are you so money-minded?"

Mengli tilts her head and asks: "Am I?"

Gu Qijue asserts: "Yes."

After all, when he asks the Infinite Engine for help, it never requires a consultation fee.

Upon his affirmative nod, Mengli instead bursts into laughter.

She says: "If I’m money-minded, so be it. Do you want the consultation or not?"

Gu Qijue casually replies: "Then go ahead with your advice."

Mengli nods contentedly and says: "First piece of advice, transform this giant planet into a star fortress."

"Strengthen the planetary body of the giant planet, then renovate the entire internal structure of the planet."

"Building a base on the planet’s surface has very limited utility."

"If you build within the planet and thoroughly transform its interior, such a base can accomplish many things."

It’s the first time Gu Qijue has heard such an argument.

He feels that Mengli’s statement is correct, though he wants to hear a specific plan.

Gu Qijue immediately asks: "How should this giant planet be transformed?"

Mengli nonchalantly responds: "Chonghan Star consists mainly of Heavy Cold Crystal Stone, which is a relatively strong material."

"However, this material is still insufficient to support a complete planetary transformation."

"So the first step is to upgrade the Heavy Cold Crystal Stone to Holy Mark 101 Material."

As Mengli explains, corresponding holographic images appear before Gu Qijue.

The material numbered Holy Mark 101 is a special crystal material.

This material has only one characteristic, which is its robustness.

Once molded, it’s extremely difficult to deform this material.

A D-Tier Holy Mark 101 crystal can withstand continuous bombardment from a C-Tier cosmic-level battleship without damage.

This time, Mengli intends to go all the way and have Gu Qijue construct Chonghan Star Base using A-Tier Holy Mark 101 crystals.

In the future, there’s no need for missile arrays, floating cannons, laser cannons.

You can just control Chonghan Star Base to ram into threats directly.

Whether it’s the Klein combat units or Klein fleets in front, you can just crash through them.

Of course, the imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

If he does this, he will exhaust all the materials he has and still won’t complete the first phase of Chonghan Star Base.

Gu Qijue can only look at Mengli and ask: "Can you provide resources?"

Upon hearing this, Mengli gives Gu Qijue a sidelong glance.

Though she has these resources, she can’t freely provide them to Gu Qijue.

After pondering for a moment, Mengli says: "You don’t necessarily have to synthesize Holy Mark 101 crystal material step by step."

"You can directly purchase second-level materials and higher-grade materials."

"Or even directly acquire Holy Mark 101 crystal material."

"If that’s still not enough, you can either seize them from the Klein or take them from other Holy Mark Bases."

"If none of these three options work, then upgrade and synthesize each stage of Heavy Cold Crystal Stone."

After Mengli finishes speaking, Gu Qijue immediately decides to follow through.

But instead of saying he’s purchasing Holy Mark 101 Crystal Stone, he states he’s acquiring special Heavy Cold Crystal Stone.

He’s not wrong in saying so.

By adding other materials to Heavy Cold Crystal Stone, infusing a large amount of energy, and conducting multiple syntheses, one can obtain crystal material numbered Holy Mark 101.

When Gu Qijue released this information on the Star Cluster Alliance’s communication channel, everyone was astonished.

They clearly did not understand what Gu Qijue intended to do.

However, many people began researching materials similar to special Heavy Cold Crystal Stone.

But their efforts were entirely in vain.

All materials with "Holy Mark" prefixes are technology-patented by the Holy Mark Civilization.

It’s not merely a lead; it’s a lead among leads.

Numerous star cluster civilizations, as well as various organizations and individuals,

concluded after researching these crystal materials that they are extremely sturdy and stable.

Most of these crystals are used in conjunction with metals to construct specific defensive works.

For a time, everyone was very curious what Gu Qijue intended to do by acquiring so much similar crystal material.
