Chapter 305 Flowing Backwards into the Earth's Core via the Elevator
The 200-kilometer high-orbit main platform and the first phase of the space forward base are taking shape.
"The high-orbit end has been completely silent. Power systems in all mining areas, cold forging areas, and transfer areas have been shut down, and personnel have been evacuated to deep-space shelters."
Lin Feng's voice echoed in the communication channel, carrying an unusually tense tone.
"Ninety-five percent of the redundant computing power of the Juxingtai has been released. All the energy stored in the outer defense array of the main platform is being transferred to the power transmission and voltage regulation circuit."
On the ground, in the Kyoto Joint Control Room.
"Received. Physical isolation of the first surface base is complete. The main dragon vein monitoring center and the mantle pressure observation team have entered Level 1 response status."
The president of the court pushed up his crystal glasses, his palms already clenched with cold sweat.
All heavy-lift transport modules were forcibly pushed into idle orbits, and all current "money-making" and "expansion" activities ceased on the space level. The atmosphere was like that of an operating table, where the chief surgeon was conducting a final pre-operative check.
"Lin Feng, double-check the initial flow rate." Wang Mingyuan rested his hands on the control panel, his eyes fixed on the intricate reverse flow network on the screen.
"The output of the star-gathering platform has already been reduced to the lowest safe threshold. After four reductions in the energy guiding chamber, the initial flow rate is only at the microsecond level of leakage." Lin Feng's voice paused slightly. "Professor Wang, should we reduce it further?"
"Lower it. Lower it another level." Wang Mingyuan said without hesitation, "We are giving an initial injection to an extremely weak behemoth. We cannot directly contact the core of the main dragon vein; we must first test the pressure in the shallow buffer zone of the mantle."
"clear."
Lin Feng slammed the manual valve parameters on the control panel, "Microsecond-level discharge rate halved. Energy conduction chamber fully filled. Ready to cut main cable."
"put!"
Wang Mingyuan gave the order.
Deep within the main platform, the massive energy-conducting cabin, crafted from brand-new starry sky materials, slowly lit up with dim array patterns.
It's like a heart pump that's been pushed to its limit. A wisp of extremely thin stellar energy, containing high-dimensional cold-pressure properties, silently slid into the tens-of-meters-diameter composite titanium crystal main cable of the space elevator through the physical channel.
Om-!
At this moment, the steel spine that stretched from heaven to earth erupted with a low, muffled tremor.
On the surface of the main cable, those hidden reverse patterns that have never been used before are like a nerve bundle that has been awakened, igniting segment by segment from top to bottom.
Instead of cascading down like a waterfall, the energy flow was gradually blocked, smoothed, and released along the array nodes inside the main cable. Every 100 kilometers, the buffer ring on the outside of the main cable, made of mystic magnetic nickel, would glow faintly once, removing the last turbulent impurities from this high-level energy flow.
Extremely slow, extremely stable.
"Entering the ionosphere... spiritual pressure stabilized."
"Passing through the stratosphere... feedback from all levels of pressure stabilization nodes is good."
"Arrived at Surface Base Number One...Preparing to cut underground!"
Inside the joint control room, everyone held their breath. The real gates of hell were underground.
"Base layer reverse flow array, full power activation!" the Dean of the Array Court roared.
At the deepest point of the surface anchor, a massive guide wall catches this stream of stellar energy falling from the sky and resolutely directs it into the depths of the mantle.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment.
Wang Mingyuan stared intently at the thin red line representing energy flow on the screen. It had already penetrated the lithosphere and was approaching the buffer layer of the mantle.
"A shallow buffer zone in contact with the mantle!"
"Contact mantle shallow buffer zone!" The monitor's voice was extremely tense.
A deathly silence fell over the control room.
There was no ground tremor, nor any recoil.
This pure energy from the stars, upon contacting the Earth's mantle and the edge of the main dragon vein, was like a drop of water seeping into a sponge that had been dry for millions of years. There was no repulsion, no ripples; it was so smooth that one might even suspect the monitoring array was malfunctioning.
ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
"Main Dragon Vein Monitoring Center Reporting!"
"A stable absorption curve has appeared at a depleted node deep within the Central Plains' main dragon vein! The high-level external energy has been absorbed unharmed by the mother planet!"
On the big screen, the green line representing the absorption rate climbed upwards very steadily and resolutely.
Earth, this mother planet riddled with holes, displayed a startling hunger and submission when faced with this carefully prepared high-level energy from the depths of the universe. It swallowed this long-awaited "food" without resistance into the deepest part of its core.
Everything went too smoothly, so smoothly that it was unbelievable.
"The energy guiding array is operating smoothly with zero recoil. Energy fusion rate... 100%." Lin Feng let out a long breath and slumped into his chair.
"First round of trial operation successful."
Wang Mingyuan slumped back down at the control panel, staring at the steadily lit green channel, his palms completely soaked with sweat. He didn't cheer; instead, he felt a profound and awe-inspiring sense of awe.
At the summit of Kunlun, a heavenly palace stands atop the clouds.
Gu Qing stood quietly at the edge of the cliff.
On the screen in the joint control room, all that could be seen were cold, hard data. But in his eyes, he could clearly see that deep within the Central Plains, at the edge of the main dragon vein, after swallowing that wisp of starlight essence, it was like a dry riverbed receiving a drop of sweet rain.
The long-dormant pressure structure surrounding the Earth's core throbbed very slightly.
This is enough.
The first needle finally pierced firmly into the heart of the earth.
But this is just the beginning. To truly satisfy Earth's appetite and allow the mother planet to complete its ultimate spiritual vein ascension, a long and tedious continuous energy transmission project is needed. High-orbit forward bases need to continuously capture cosmic resources, and spacefaring cultivators need to maintain this massive heavy industry formation day and night.
It's like hanging a huge IV bag, not seeking immediate results, but only hoping for continuous support year after year.
But that's enough.
For the first time, human civilization has learned how to actively "nourish" its home planet.
The ascension of spiritual veins to higher dimensions is no longer just a concept.
It has entered a real countdown that has already begun and can no longer be easily stopped.
