And so, finally, the sunlight was able to illuminate the entire ten-thousand-meter steel bead world, even though it was only one meter in diameter, the heat from the sun was by no means low.
Moreover, Fang Yuan established rules within the sphere. In the future expansion of the world, the sun and moon would automatically draw from the source to grow larger according to the current proportions.
In this way, there was no need to bother to do it manually every time.
The sun and moon continued to orbit the steel bead world, still a world shaped like a round heaven and square earth. However, even though the world had expanded, it was still considered small, and Fang Yuan did not waste the source creating stars, which made it somewhat monotonous.
After the world expanded, the multiplier for time acceleration did indeed increase by ten times, which meant a hundred times the outside world.
However, now the resources in the steel bead world were insufficient. In order to prevent all bees from killing each other for resources and wiping them out, Fang Yuan did not immediately increase the time acceleration to a hundred times.
There was also the fact that, during the previous world expansion, along with it, Fang Yuan's consciousness was also stretched. So even though the world had expanded to a ten-thousand-meter diameter, Fang Yuan's consciousness could still cover the entire steel bead world.
Outside, Fang Yuan's consciousness could only cover a ten-meter radius. But in the steel bead world, perhaps because he had the authority to control the world, his consciousness had increased a thousandfold, enough to cover this small world.
In this way, he could explore the entire steel bead world with a single thought, without worrying about missing any place.
"A ten-thousand-meter diameter world can have some animals introduced into it, and it should be able to support quite a few people," Fang Yuan thought.
Usually, the largest village is no more than a few thousand meters.
Ten thousand meters, and it's all fertile land. If used for farming, it could support thousands of people.
It was already late at night, and Fang Yuan did not immediately go to sleep. Instead, he drove again to Moon Cloud Lake.
...
The shore of Moon Cloud Lake was quiet, with no night anglers in sight.
Fang Yuan, with his enhanced consciousness, could clearly sense all insects within a radius of ten meters, and he was not worried about being tracked or anything.
Arriving at the lake, Fang Yuan once again opened the portal to the steel bead world.
After opening the world portal this time, he was surprised to find that perhaps because his consciousness had been elevated, he could actually control the devouring power generated by the steel bead world. It could be made large or small as he wished.
In other words, even if the world did not expand, he could still use that suction power to draw things from the outside world into it. Of course, the suction power would definitely be much smaller, but it would still be enough.
Under Fang Yuan's conscious control, an invisible vortex crazily swallowed the water of Moon Cloud Lake, along with a large number of fish.
Finally, after swallowing all the water of Moon Cloud Lake, Fang Yuan drove away. Since the terrain here was low, it would not take long for the lake to form again, and there were not many fish or anything else here, so Fang Yuan did not feel much guilt.
But it could be imagined that there would be big news tomorrow, and the editors might say, "So-and-so has stolen all the water from Moon Cloud Lake."
Tsk tsk, people nowadays, even stealing lake water...
After returning home, Fang Yuan first used his authority to divide the small continent into four pieces, turning them into four small islands.
Each island had uneven small mounds and flatlands.
He also created a network of streams that surrounded and penetrated the four islands, so that water resources could benefit every part of the land and ensure the normal growth of plants.
At the same time, he separated each pair of islands with rivers that were a hundred meters wide.
The purpose of doing this was to separate the four queens to prevent them from killing each other again. Although bees can fly, they should not fly so far to kill each other.
Five chickens were placed randomly on one of the islands, and as for the remaining earthworms, they were completely invisible on the surface now, and most of them had burrowed into the ground alive.
Then, Fang Yuan sprinkled the flowers he had bought earlier all over the steel bead world, and only then did he increase the time acceleration to a hundred times.
After doing all this, Fang Yuan finally fell asleep deeply.
When he woke up, it was already noon. Fang Yuan hurriedly checked the steel bead world and found that the entire steel bead world was now covered with a sea of flowers.
A large number of bees were joyfully flying around collecting honey.
From late night until twelve o'clock now, nearly two months had passed in the steel bead world, and during this time, the bees had multiplied massively again.
The four queens from before had undergone a miraculous evolution due to absorbing some of the source, so their reproductive rate had also increased significantly. During this time, their size had grown larger again, now almost half the size of a soccer ball.
After lunch, Fang Yuan was about to plant some plants into the steel bead world when suddenly he received a phone call.
"Hello, is this Fang Yuan?"
"Yes, who is this?" Fang Yuan was puzzled; he absolutely didn't recognize this voice.
"Well, we are very interested in Fang Yuan's chicken-raising technology. Can we buy it from you?" the man on the phone said.
Fang Yuan immediately frowned: "What chicken-raising technology? You've got the wrong person, haven't you? That chicken is a genetic mutation; it's not something I raised to be that big."
"Mr. Fang Yuan, let's not beat around the bush. That rooster must have been raised by you, right? As long as you sell it to us, we won't treat you unfairly."
"You've got it all wrong. How could I possibly have such chicken-raising techniques?" Fang Yuan was baffled and hung up directly.
But soon a message came in: "Mr. Fang Yuan, we are willing to pay a large sum to purchase your technique. Such a technique in your hands is a gem gathering dust. If you're interested, we can also discuss your entry into our company. We promise not to mistreat you."
After reading it, Fang Yuan directly blocked that number.
"It looks like the big rooster I released earlier has caused quite a stir."
Fang Yuan was somewhat worried; he didn't know if someone would forcibly buy the so-called technique. The problem was, he didn't have any chicken-raising technique at all.
But whether others believed him or not, he didn't know. Some businessmen, for the slightest possibility, would take risks as long as they could foresee huge business opportunities.
"I can't just sit and wait. Right, the source of the world can strengthen the big rooster and the queen bee. I wonder if it can strengthen me too?"
"But if both the big rooster and the queen bee became much larger after being enhanced by the source, wouldn't I become gigantic if I used the source? I don't want to become a giant."
However, the anticipation of strength still led Fang Yuan to decide to take the risk and try: "I'll start with a trace of the source first, so even if there are side effects, they shouldn't be too severe."
Deciding to act, Fang Yuan extracted a very small trace of the source from the source world of the steel bead world, and then carefully injected it into his body.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yuan felt a magical force shuttle through his body, passing through his veins and eventually entering his brain, merging with his consciousness. Then, with his consciousness as tentacles, it spread throughout his body.
Fang Yuan felt that the cells of his body seemed to be washed by a special force, and thin black sweat permeated from his pores.
Soon, that trace of source was exhausted, and apart from feeling that his body seemed much more relaxed, there were no other changes, and his strength did not increase.
"Is that all?" Fang Yuan was surprised. He remembered that the enhancement of the big rooster and the queen bee was very intense, but here, with himself, it was so gentle?
"Could it be because the source was too little?"
