Interstellar Farming: I Make Potions and Climb to the Top

Yun Han had just finished getting the wounded settled. The bodies of the dead were cremated, the more severely injured were arranged to recuperate, and those with external wounds were treated accordingly. Everything was back on track.

Just then, the Heavenly Might Corps received a notice from the battlefield command center. They were ordered to immediately dispatch thirty thousand troops to reinforce the First Insect Hole Battlefield. A dozen other corps received the same reinforcement order. The Elder Council and the Military Department had jointly signed off on a decision to open the Sky Curtain Space Transmission Channel. All reinforcing units were required to assemble and reach the battlefield within half an hour.

The space transmission channel was developed by the top research departments using the principles of wormholes. Small-scale channels, capable only of transporting materials, were already quite mature and stable. The cost of these smaller channels was affected by distance and environment; the shorter the distance and the more stable the spatial environment, the lower the cost. Conversely, the greater the distance and the more turbulent the spatial environment, the higher the cost. In recent years, the use of small-scale space transmission channels for transporting materials had become relatively widespread among both the military and the civilian population.

Research departments had been continuously studying large-scale space transmission channels capable of transporting personnel. Although they held revolutionary potential, their development faced numerous technical challenges and potential dangers. The technical challenges included the stability of the space transmission, the precision of point-to-point transport, and the problem of supplying energy to the channel. Potential dangers included transport failure caused by various factors, such as spatial tearing, channel collapse, or insufficient energy.

To ensure that spatial distortion or channel collapse did not occur during transport, large-scale space transmission channels for personnel required extremely high stability.

The stability of the space transmission was one of the greatest challenges, especially for long-distance transport. Keeping the channel open required immense energy and precise technical support. How to provide this energy efficiently and sustainably was a major challenge. Furthermore, personnel would have to endure extreme physical stress during transport, including gravitational changes and spatial distortion, which meant there were high requirements for their physical condition. The environment inside the channel also had to be compatible with life, avoiding excessively extreme environmental shifts.

The origin and destination points of the transport had to be precisely controlled. Any minute error could lead to a failed transport, or even send personnel to the wrong location or into a hazardous environment.

This was especially true for interstellar transport. Star Domain environments were complex and volatile, and space transmission channels were extremely susceptible to interference. Things like gravitational fields and cosmic rays could all affect a channel’s stability. How to shield against such interference was another technical hurdle.

Due to these limiting factors, large-scale space transmission channels had remained in the research and development phase for many years and had not been put into widespread use.

However, the Sky Curtain Space Transmission Channel, jointly authorized by the Elder Council and the Military Department, had been confirmed through numerous experiments to be the only mature, large-scale space transmission channel ever built, having overcome a multitude of technical challenges. This channel was not opened lightly, as activating it even once incurred enormous financial costs. It would not be initiated unless it was a critical juncture.

"Commander, Heavenly Might Corps Vice Commander Qin An requests to go into battle."

"Heavenly Might Corps Major General Level officer Qin Chuan requests to go into battle."

"Heavenly Might Corps Major General Level officer Yan Pengyuan requests to go into battle."

"..."

"..."

Upon receiving the Recruitment Order from the battlefield command center, voices requesting to go into battle rose one after another in the command room. Nearly all officers of Major General Level and above expressed their desire to join the fight.

Yun Han selected Qin An and another Major General, ordering them to immediately consolidate the troops under their command. He also announced that he would be going with them to the First Insect Hole Battlefield.

Qiao Yu immediately objected to Yun Han going to the battlefield. He argued that Yun Han’s Spiritual Sea had suffered severe trauma, and even though he was awake now, there were surely latent issues. He shouldn’t take such a risk.

However, Yun Han had already made up his mind, and no amount of objection from Qiao Yu or the others could change it.

The Heavenly Might Corps assembled in an extremely short time. After they reported to the command center, a massive black hole began to slowly form in the sky above the corps’ garrison five minutes later. Intense energy fluctuations rippled outward. Watching the black hole, many soldiers had nervous expressions on their faces. Qin An was the first to take a flight vehicle into the air; he then exited the vehicle and entered the black hole. No matter how nervous they were internally, the well-trained soldiers followed, stepping into the black hole without hesitation.

After all thirty thousand people had entered, Qiao Yu watched as the black hole suddenly vanished.

Meanwhile, at the Controller Protection Association, Ning Xuan had just finished treating all the wounded in the tenth-floor hall she was responsible for. She then received a communication from the vice president, informing her that another batch of wounded had been sent from the front lines and that every floor’s hall needed to continue accepting patients. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

That day, Ning Xuan worked for twelve consecutive hours, treating six batches of wounded and creating a miracle in the tenth-floor hall’s treatment area: not a single patient died. There were dozens of treatment halls and hundreds of Controllers, but only Ning Xuan was able to save the Spirit Controllers who had become completely alienated. This was a level of treatment that, let alone an A-level Controller like Ning Xuan, even the Federation’s few SS-level Controllers could not achieve.

Moreover, the number of patients Ning Xuan treated by herself was dozens, even hundreds of times greater than anyone else.

And so, in just one day, Ning Xuan earned the title of "the Federation’s Strongest Purification Master."

After a long day of work, Ning Xuan was utterly exhausted. She sat in a chair, not wanting to move a muscle, as Di Youlin stood obediently beside her, giving her a head massage.

"Why are you being so well-behaved today?" Di Youlin’s technique was masterful, and under his care, Ning Xuan grew drowsy. Thinking of his usual antics, she couldn’t help but feel curious.

"Master, you worked so hard today. Besides, am I not always well-behaved?" Di Youlin squeezed a spot on the outside of Ning Xuan’s shoulder. The muscle there was a little tense, and his touch sent a pleasant ache through it.

"My mistake. You’re the most well-behaved," Ning Xuan mumbled drowsily. "I’m sleepy. Carry me back."

"As you command, Master." Then, Ning Xuan felt herself being lifted into a broad embrace. She found a comfortable position and drifted off to sleep, feeling completely at ease.

A warmth filled Di Youlin’s heart as he watched Ning Xuan fall asleep.

He gazed at her peaceful, sleeping face, and a wave of tenderness and admiration washed over him. ’Every day I spend with her, I understand her a little more. She might seem cold on the surface, but she’s actually very kind to people. When it comes to important matters, she’s brave, responsible, and conscientious. Most importantly, her power is truly formidable.’

"Master, I’m so lucky I met you," Di Youlin murmured. Cradling the sleeping woman carefully, he walked steadily onward.
