Global Crossing: Empire of Stars

Looking at the gas giant now, it was wrapped in dense forests, the entire planet transformed into a massive forest.

Fruits of various colors hung clearly visible from the giant trees, easy to spot and harvest.

Lin Zhichen quickly discovered the trick. These spherical fruits, each over a kilometer in diameter, grew at specific intervals along the branches that extended outward. The branches bore no leaves and reached straight into space, with rows of fruits growing in neat formation.

Plants created through artificial genetic engineering reflected human thought in certain details. The placement of these fruits, for example, made them easy for human Transport Ships to harvest.

He extended his Psionics and plucked down a giant fruit, examining the orange-yellow sphere closely.

Its rind had a texture like a tire: tough, wear-resistant, and elastic. When he slapped it, it bounced back with a jolt. Clearly, this special material and structure protected the fruit inside from damage. Even the rind, about an inch thick, was a high-quality civilian material that could serve many purposes.

He tore open the rind, and a natural fragrance wafted out. Inside, he saw pale-yellow grains about the size of fingertips, nestled in a honeycomb-like structure.

Yellow Sprout Rice was an excellent strain cultivated by the Empire, with the potential to evolve into a Psionic Plant. Clearly, the foods Li Murong had chosen were carefully selected.

What surprised him most was that, in addition to staple foods and fruit, the fruits also
