Dyson Sphere

Fifty years is but a fleeting moment for cultivators.

But for Yi Xuan, it was enough to enable his technology to achieve a qualitative leap.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, given the level of technology Yi Xuan had fifty years ago, it's somewhat unreasonable that he only managed to modernize the entire Southern Frontier in fifty years.

In fact, the development of Southern Frontier was merely a side effect for Yi Xuan.

Compared to the changes in Southern Frontier, the technological advancements under Yi Xuan over the past fifty years have truly been earth-shattering.

Take the attack just now, for example. In terms of form, it is not much different from the space-based weapons of the past.

However, if we turn our attention to outer space at this moment, we will find that the attack just now had nothing to do with space-based weapons.

Even in near-Earth orbit, the once abundant space-based weapons have become pitifully few.

Even Starlink looks dilapidated.

In the entire low Earth orbit, only a handful of satellites are sailing alone, faithfully carrying out their missions.

Compared to Starlink, which once contained tens of thousands of quantum satellites, these few remaining ones do indeed look rather meager.

Of course, this is just the surface.

With the development of Yi Xuan Technology, Starlink's exit from the stage was to be expected.

As the technology in all aspects becomes more mature, Starlink's role will only become smaller and smaller.

To put it bluntly, despite the enormous scale of the Starlink project, it is actually just a desperate measure due to insufficient technology.

Building a constellation of moons encircling a planet seems incredibly cool, but isn't it just using quantity to compensate for a lack of technological sophistication?

Therefore, despite the humble appearance of the few satellites in low Earth orbit, their actual functionality is far superior to that of Starlink.

The decrease in quantity has led to an increase in capabilities; perhaps this is the significance of technology!

In fact, for Yi Xuan, the streamlining of Starlink was just a side project, much like the development of Southern Frontier.

His real work over the past fifty years has been in the depths of space, far from any planet.

Compared to the meager conditions in near-Earth orbit, the outer space of the planet is quite bustling.

Spaceships of various shapes are currently traversing the distant universe.

The moon and various asteroids are covered with all sorts of strange machines.

The entire outer space at this moment resembled a bustling factory.

Those machines located on the moon and asteroids are like factory workers, frantically producing goods.

The spaceships shuttling through space are like transport workers, carrying away the resources that the machines collect from the planets.

Ultimately, all the cargo ships will converge at the same location.

Sun!

That's right, the ultimate goal of these busy spacefaring crews is actually the sun.

At this moment, the sun, as always, was radiating its scorching light, illuminating the entire Cultivation Realm.

When people occasionally look up, the sun they see remains unchanged throughout eternity.

What they didn't know was that if they followed the cargo ships, they would discover that the sun was not static.

As you get closer to the sun, you'll find that it's now completely surrounded by countless tiny black dots.

Closer!

Those things weren't black dots, but rather various spacecraft of different shapes, currently orbiting the sun.

These densely packed spacecraft, viewed from a distance, resemble a layer of mist, almost completely obscuring the sun.

However, due to the gaps between the spacecraft, sunlight can still penetrate the distant deep space and bring light to the entire Cultivation Realm.

Even experts like Hai Qinghe and Venerable Yuan failed to notice the sun's anomaly.

The fog formed by these spacecraft has a resounding name— Dyson Swarm!

With technology advancing to this point, Yi Xuan has finally decided to target the sun.

The method was quite simple: the well-known Dyson Sphere Project.

The attack launched against the five Barbarian Ancestor earlier came from Yi Xuan's Dyson Sphere.

No wonder Venerable Yuan could sense the power of the True Solar Fire from the attack.

His feeling was absolutely right!

The so-called Dyson Sphere Project is actually a theory proposed by the Beautiful Country physicist Freeman Dyson.

Dyson Sphere is an artificial celestial body used to enclose a star and extract its energy; it is essentially a natural nuclear fusion reactor that uses a star as its power source.

In essence, technological development is simply the development of human beings' use of energy.

From timber hauling to coal, oil, and natural gas, and then to wind power, hydropower, and nuclear power.

With the continuous development of science and technology, people's ability to utilize energy is becoming stronger and stronger.

Therefore, this leads to a demand for more powerful energy sources.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Yi Xuan achieved cold fusion fifty years ago and created the Arc Reactor, something that only existed in science fiction movies in the past.

However, when faced with the rapid development of technology, even nuclear fusion, which was once a dream, has begun to fall behind.

Left with no other choice, Yi Xuan could only let Niu Keli continue his in-depth research on nuclear fusion, and he even managed to achieve heavy nuclear fusion in a short period of time.

With the advent of heavy nuclear fusion, Yi Xuan's energy pressure was naturally alleviated.

However, from that moment on, Yi Xuan discovered a problem.

That means the use of nuclear energy may have reached its limit.

What if one day the energy produced by heavy nuclear fusion is no longer enough to meet the needs of technological advancement?

Therefore, Yi Xuan, with foresight, directly launched the Dyson Sphere Project.

On the one hand, it is to obtain more powerful energy; on the other hand, it is to consume the lifespan of the sun through the Dyson Sphere Project.

That's right, Yi Xuan wants the sun to die as soon as possible!

In Yi Xuan's view, since the Heavenly Dog's target is the sun...

Let's think about it another way. Since we can't escape the Heavenly Dog's grasp, why not eliminate the Heavenly Dog's target?

Once the sun is destroyed, the Heavenly Dog, having lost its purpose, will naturally stop going down the wrong path, and the Cultivation Realm will most likely be saved.

However, while the idea was good, reality was much harsher.

According to calculations by No. 01, the idea of using Dyson Sphere to overdraw the lifespan of the sun is feasible.

The requirements for Dyson Sphere are simply frighteningly high.

With Yi Xuan's current level of technology, it would take at least ten thousand years to complete Dyson Sphere of that caliber.

The number ten thousand years immediately dispelled Yi Xuan's idea.

If there really were ten thousand years, Yi Xuan would have plenty of ways to get rid of the Heavenly Dog, and who would bother with Dyson Sphere?

Even if the Heavenly Dog problem cannot be solved, the energy provided by the Dyson Sphere is still considerable.

Moreover, the reason why the Stars' Assistance Plan only needs to consume half of the Spiritual Qi of the Cultivation Realm is mainly due to the Dyson Sphere.

Yi Xuan that when the time came, he would use the combined energy of the Dyson Sphere and the Grand Star Formation to launch an attack, which theoretically should be enough to defeat the Heavenly Dog.

The attack that was just launched against the five Barbarian Ancestor was a scaled-down version of the Dyson Sphere attack system.

It's all their bad luck that they became guinea pigs for Yi Xuan's experimental weapons.
