Mysterious Visitor
The idea of building the city was not something Yi Xuan came up with on a whim.
Yi Xuan has been thinking about this issue ever since Xing Qi made the suggestion.
Moreover, Yi Xuan originally planned to build a city on the basis of the underwater base.
However, at that time Yi Xuan planned to build a city that belonged only to himself.
After much consideration, Yi Xuan finally realized that doing so was not very meaningful.
If it's only for Yi Xuan's own use, then one underwater base is perfectly sufficient; a whole city would be redundant.
Therefore, Yi Xuan changed his approach and began to consider the problem from a practical perspective.
First of all, Yi Xuan's initial purpose in entering the Eternal Sea was to find the whereabouts of Junior Sister Mu.
If it's solely for this purpose, there's really no need to invest so much energy in the Eternal Sea, and building cities is even less necessary.
However, after entering the Eternal Sea, especially after destroying Hai Yue, Yi Xuan obtained a lot of materials unique to the Eternal Sea from Hai Yue's private stash.
These findings, as determined by No. 01, will be of great help to Yi Xuan's current and future scientific research.
Initially, the caravans organized by Yi Xuan could indeed obtain these materials through trade channels, which could meet Yi Xuan's needs.
But what about the future? As technology develops faster and faster, the demand for certain materials may also increase, and one day, trade will no longer be able to meet Yi Xuan's needs.
Moreover, the Sea Clan aren't stupid. When faced with a large-scale purchase of a certain material, there will always be smart people who will notice and then try to inflate prices.
It would be awkward if there were a real bottleneck. When faced with profit, some people would rather let their goods rot than lower the price.
Therefore, Yi Xuan's move to the Eternal Sea at this time can be seen as a precautionary measure.
Moreover, with Xing Qi, a member of the Sea Clan, it makes Yi Xuan's move to the area quite reasonable.
No matter what happens, Xing Qi is always the one in the spotlight, while Yi Xuan just needs to control things from behind. This way, even other Sea Clan can't really criticize him.
Moreover, Yi Xuan discovered that the underwater environment was invaluable; many experimental conditions that were difficult to achieve on land existed in the Eternal Sea, yet a completely natural experimental environment did exist there.
Furthermore, the Tomb of the Sea God will open in less than three years.
Yi Xuan needs to develop enough technologies to adapt to the Eternal Sea before he will have the confidence to enter the Tomb of the Sea God and explore it.
I wonder if, as Xing Qi said, Junior Sister Mu will actually appear there.
Since the decision to build a city in the Eternal Sea was made, Xing Qi has become very busy, as he needs to select a site for his future city.
According to Yi Xuan, he doesn't need to worry about the city's construction, planning, or security; all he needs to do is select a good location for the city.
From Yi Xuan's description, we know that this city is not just a Sea Clan city. Yi Xuan wants to build this city into a city where Sea Clan and Human Clan can coexist, and he plans to develop the city into the largest trading center for the two races.
This means that the location of the city needs to be carefully considered. It cannot be too deep into the Eternal Sea, nor can it be too remote. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to find it in the vast ocean.
Compared to Xing Qi, Yi Xuan was much busier.
The entire underwater mechanical army has been wiped out, Yi Xuan needs to rebuild it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Yi Xuan and Xing Qi's desire to build a city would be nothing but empty talk.
How are we supposed to build it? Are we expecting them to do it themselves? Don't be ridiculous!
On the other hand, Yi Xuan has been monitoring the sea area where the nuclear explosion occurred.
Within half a month, countless people came to check, including Human Clan, Sea Clan, Demon Beast, and sea monsters.
Their strength varies, but the lowest level is still Nascent Soul Cultivator, while the highest level has even reached the Tribulation Transcendence.
In contrast to these cultivators who merely observed from the outside, Starlink actually witnessed an old man leisurely strolling into the radiation zone that day.
When the monitoring team on No. 01 detected this situation, they immediately notified Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan, who was busy with his work, never expected that after so many days, he would finally find someone who wasn't afraid of death.
So, eager to see it, he had No. 01 transmit the live video feed into his mind.
An elderly man with white hair and a white beard was seen standing on the surface of the Eternal Sea, walking towards the center of the nuclear explosion.
The old man wasn't moving fast; the frequency of his steps was no different from that of an ordinary elderly person.
But with each step the other took, their figure would flash, reappearing a kilometer away, and then another kilometer away with each step.
This method truly astonished Yi Xuan; he couldn't fathom how the other party had managed it.
Yi Xuan's first thought was of Chu Longcheng's method of creating wormholes in outer space.
However, No. 01 reminded Yi Xuan the old man was not using spatial techniques, and then sent Yi Xuan a slow-motion video of the old man's movements.
In slow motion, the old man's body moved rapidly with each step he took; from lifting his foot to lowering it, he covered a kilometer.
As the old man drew closer and closer to the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, Yi Xuan's mind was filled with questions.
What's going on? Logically, the closer to the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, the stronger the nuclear radiation.
Given the strength the old man displayed, it was impossible for him not to sense the presence of nuclear radiation.
That can only mean one thing: nuclear radiation had no effect on the elderly.
Yi Xuan was startled by his own thought, so he quickly switched his observation of the old man to energy observation mode.
But what appeared before Yi Xuan left him completely dumbfounded.
In energy observation mode, the energy level of the radiation zone was almost unchanged from a few days ago, but a vacuum area of more than ten meters appeared around the old man.
In other words, there was no nuclear radiation around the old man at that moment.
As the old man moved quickly, Yi Xuan finally realized that it wasn't that there was no nuclear radiation around the old man, but rather that the old man seemed to have something on him that shielded him from nuclear radiation.
No matter where he was in the radiation zone, he would somehow manage to push the nuclear radiation back to within ten meters of his body.
"How... how did he do that?"
"Unable to determine at this time!"
No. 01's voice echoed in Yi Xuan's mind, "However, boss, based on our observations, this could be some kind of force field! Or perhaps they possess something capable of absorbing nuclear radiation!"
"Oh? That stuff is called nuclear radiation?"
The sudden sound sent chills down Yi Xuan's spine. Xing Qi wasn't on the island, so how could there be someone else's voice?
Yi Xuan quickly turned around and looked, his eyes narrowing.
Standing not far behind him was the old man that Yi Xuan just observed. Looking at the image in his mind, the old man's figure was slowly fading until it disappeared.
Meanwhile, the warning from No. 01 also echoed in Yi Xuan's mind.
