Chapter 375 – Twelfth Official Livestream Ends
After completing his act, Chen Yu felt comfortable both inside and outside.
At this moment, he felt that he had become the representative of the entire human race. He felt the illusion of stepping onto the peak of power.
Perhaps, this wasn’t an illusion at all.
When it came to speaking rights, he had indeed reached the culmination of civilization.
“Everyone, you can sit down now. The salutations are over.”
Chen Yu returned to the Type-R Spacecraft and picked up a large, white box after saying so. He then faced the camera and said, “There is a saying called ‘waste utilization.’ In this world, even cow dung can play an important role if used properly. This is even more so for a dying star. Hence, let’s squeeze this blue supergiant for everything it has before it dies...”
[Dammit. Didn’t you just call it a hero?]
[Yes, but not anymore.]
[Blue supergiant: My heart is breaking!]
[Am I the only one feeling that the UP has been venting his anger all this time...]
[I am still lost in the tragic atmosphere.]
Like most of the audience watching the livestream, the many elites inside the Observer Conference Hall were similarly at a loss on what to do.
After silently pondering for a moment, these elites sat down with expressionless faces, pretending as if nothing had just happened.
“Little Wu, don’t report this matter to the higher-ups,” the middle-aged team leader said in a low voice.
“I understand.” Big Sis Wu nodded sympathetically.
...
Because the spacecraft was docked very close to the blue supergiant and the E·I Force Field’s flying speed in vacuum was rapid, it took less than ten minutes for Chen Yu to arrive near the supergiant’s surface.
Meanwhile, the closer he got to the dying star, the clearer he could feel its massiveness.
Up, down, left, and right, everywhere he looked was a blue sea of flames.
“It is truly massive.
“We truly know nothing of the vast universe...”
After breathing out a sigh, Chen Yu turned toward the camera and unsealed the delivery box in his hands. He then opened the box and pulled out something resembling a metal cabinet.
“Friends in the livestream rooms, do you know what this is? That’s right, you guessed it. This is the legendary Dyson Sphere! It is a high-tech product capable of absorbing the energy of stars! It is the symbol of a Type II Kardashev civilization!”
[We didn’t even have any time to guess!]
[The UP is getting more and more perfunctory...]
[Bah! All men are the same! They won’t cherish you once they get you.]
[I miss the time when he was still a newbie streamer... He was so docile and shy back then...]
[Stop spouting nonsense. The host has been crazy since he began streaming.]
[Is nobody commenting about the Dyson Sphere? That’s a freaking Dyson Sphere!]
“This Dyson Sphere is portable and looks very petite. Its power output is also significantly weaker compared to a real Dyson Sphere. Even so, the energy it can absorb in one minute still exceeds what we humans have expended since ancient times until today.
“Currently, after the Earth Spray, this thing should be the most helpful product for modern human civilization.
“However, as this isn’t an official product, I won’t mention its manufacturer and production date. I will only give a brief introduction on it.
“Inside this metal box are 42.5 million expandable reflectors, 425 energy-absorbing matrices, and 5,000 repeaters,” Chen Yu said as he opened one of the four drawers on the metal cabinet. “Looking at how compact this cabinet is, the fact that all 42.5 million reflectors can fit in this thing shows just how thin each reflector is.
“In fact, once unfolded, each reflector will only be one-atom-thick. Meanwhile, once the Dyson Sphere is fully set up, it can absorb 43% to 75% of a star’s energy. However, as the reflectors are so thin, it is impossible to even place nano-robots on them. This makes repairing it a nigh-impossible task. If this Dyson Sphere breaks, it’s dead. There is no value in repairing it.
“Hence, in the future, this Dyson Sphere is only used by scientific research teams and merchant fleets for impromptu refueling.”
While explaining, Chen Yu had already opened all four drawers and took out the items within them.
The first drawer contained a pot of golden liquid.
The second drawer contained a box of sand.
The third drawer contained a box of round beads.
The fourth drawer contained two cylinders that were as thick as a baby’s arm.
“Let me give everyone an introduction.” Firstly, Chen Yu pointed to the pot of golden liquid. “These are the 42.5 million expandable reflectors. Because they are tiny in size, they look like a puddle of water. In reality, though, they are tiny solid particles.
“The grains of sand in this box are the 5,000 repeaters.
“These round beads resembling BB bullets are the energy-absorbing matrices. They can similarly be unfolded.
“The interaction between these three items is simple. The 42.5 million reflectors will unfold and refract the light of the target star into the energy-absorbing matrices. Every energy-absorbing matrix will be responsible for capturing the light refracted by 100,000 reflectors. As we have 42.5 million reflectors and 425 energy-absorbing matrices, the numbers match perfectly.
“The energy-absorbing matrices will then compress and transmit the collected light energy to the repeaters before finally flowing into the two batteries. The batteries are these two things...”
Holding up the two cylinders, Chen Yu said, “Each of these segmented high-energy battery modules can store up to 500 kH of energy. I apologize, but I don’t know how to convert kilohenry into ampere, but let’s not care about these details.
“Well? How is it? This Dyson Sphere’s operational method is unheard of, right? After all, so long as the materials allow for it, refracting light energy is much more efficient than just absorbing it directly.
“Meanwhile, once these two batteries are charged up, mankind will officially enter a new era! There will no longer be any need to worry about energy for the next thousand years. Technology can be developed without any regard for costs. In the future, all equipment will be charged wirelessly, and transportation will no longer have to rely on fossil fuels. All cities, even those in Cambodia, can remain brightly lit at night for no other reason than because we have too much energy to spare...
“This is the present the blue supergiant has brought to humanity! Now, let us salute it once more!”
The blue supergiant: “...”
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the leaders of many countries had their blood pressure skyrocket simultaneously. Many tycoons invested in the energy industry also fainted, and the stock prices of energy companies plunged to the very pits of hell...
Of course, Chen Yu didn’t know or cared about what was happening on Earth. Without hesitation, he pressed the power button and activated the Dyson Sphere. Immediately afterward, the golden liquid in the pot, the grains of sand in the box, the 425 round beads, and the two cylinders flew out of Chen Yu’s hands and slowly disappeared into the blue star ahead.
“The next time I come here, both batteries will be fully charged.”
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu spread out his arms and exclaimed, “That’s it for this episode. This is the perfect ending if I do say so myself. Here, I would like to thank everyone in the audience for watching the stream. I would also like to thank the boys in the future Human Alliance’s Strategic Security Department for providing us, their ancestors, with this high-tech product. You really are a bunch of filial descendants.
“Today’s livestream has gone on for a long time already. For everyone’s sake, I won’t hold you back with a boring conclusion. That’s it for today’s official livestream. The next time we meet, my access level will be upgraded to C-level, so the next product will definitely be much more exciting.
“This has been Transdimensional Review, and I have been your host Eason Chen. Let us meet again one month later. Be there...
“Or be square!”
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly cut off the broadcast without paying any attention to the bullet comments.
Afterward, he raised his wrist without hesitation and urgently contacted the Chinese Government.
[Chen Yu: “You there?”]
[Chinese Government: “Mr. Chen, how can we help you?”]
[Chen Yu: “The supergiant is going to explode.”]
[Chinese Government: “???”]
