Chapter 2578 Unable to Exceed the Speed of Light 2
"Your actions are at best borderline."
Ling said, "Since you're still in the solar system, it doesn't count as breaking the rules."
"But if you go to Andromeda, it's not just skirting the edge, it's violating the Creator's rules. In that case, you will also face all sorts of crises in the universe and will not be protected by the Creator."
Lu Keran couldn't help but get excited when she heard this.
"However, if we're lucky, we can also use more advanced methods for space travel!"
"The wormhole jumping technology mentioned in the black box doesn't rely on speed, but on space folding."
"As long as the spatial structures at both ends can be anchored, it can jump tens or even hundreds of light-years in one go!"
"This is the kind of interstellar travel I've always dreamed of!"
Ling nodded as well.
"This is indeed the best option for humanity to conduct interstellar travel. Billions of years ago, the Eheniacs were the first to use this method to explore the boundaries of the universe."
However, later, they abandoned their physical bodies and became completely spiritualized, forming a massive entity with 146 billion high-level spiritual particles, thus gaining the ability to "instantly traverse the entire universe".
It could even be said that when the combination of spiritual matter becomes large enough, they will lose their own will and be left with only empty cosmic rules.
That's a smaller version of "Kagago".
"Tens or hundreds of light-years."
Zhang Yi looked at her and sighed helplessly, "Are you sure you want to jump to a place where you don't even know what the air is made of?"
"What if we jump over a supermassive star? We'd probably be dragged in by gravity and turned to dust!"
Lu Keran stuck out her tongue.
"That's why I said 'if I'm lucky'."
"Wormhole technology requires a complete set of supporting star maps, beacons, and energy relays, and we haven't even taken the first step yet."
"The only thing I can change right now is the spaceship itself."
At this point, her expression turned somewhat disgusted.
"And ever since I saw the technology of the Yihen Clan, I really think the technology of the Cangyuan Clan is so outdated!"
"Even so, the engine efficiency is less than a fraction of that of the Ihen Clan."
"The materials are no good, the protection is no good, the redundancy is no good, and even the living module does not meet the standards I saw in the black box."
Upon hearing this, Ling finally showed a hint of a human expression.
It was a very light, faint nod.
It's as if to say: You've finally said something decent.
"Their technology is very crude."
Ling's assessment was quite straightforward.
"Many of them are derived from reverse reasoning."
"It's like trying to build an entire spaceship from a broken blueprint."
"Being able to fly is already a miracle."
"Aren't you two going a bit too far?"
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, speechless.
"The Cangyuan Clan is a branch of the Five Dynasties Civilization. It's already quite remarkable that they've survived to this day."
“Your race, the Ihen, are the Creator’s own children; it’s not fair to compare them.”
He still remembers how shocked humanity was when he first came into contact with the Cangyuan Clan civilization!
Those colossal mechanical lifeforms, as massive as mountains, and those powerful mechanical demons, deeply shocked humanity in the primitive era.
And it's only been a few years? Lu Keran already looks down on other people's technology.
Tsk tsk tsk, that's a good thing, it shows that her skill level is constantly improving.
Ling glanced at Zhang Yi, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I'm just stating the facts."
Lu Keran nodded as well.
"Yes, I'm just stating the facts!"
“I don’t look down on them, really, I just simply prefer the technology of the Ihen tribe.”
Ling looked at Lu Keran with eyes full of approval.
"Alright, alright, you're all geniuses!"
Zhang Yi waved his hand, "You two can continue being the setting team for the universe version. I'm going to take a bath and relax!"
Zhang Yi stood up, stretched, and then walked towards the hot spring area at the back.
Zhang Yi carved out a living area on the middle deck of the Dreamer.
There's a fitness pod, a balcony that simulates sea breeze, a gravity-regulated sleep pod, and even a hot spring room.
Of course, it's not a real geothermal spring; it uses an energy furnace to produce water at a constant temperature, and then uses air circulation to generate humidity and negative ions.
But as long as you close your eyes, you can enjoy the comfort of the warm water enveloping your whole body and relaxing your muscles.
Zhang Yi pushed open the door to the hot spring room, and a wave of warm, humid steam immediately rushed up to him.
Outside was boundless darkness, but inside it was like a quiet spring in a deep mountain.
Soft light was embedded in the wall, the pool water was clear, and bubbles were gently rising from the surface.
It's impossible to tell that this is in the universe, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth.
He tossed his coat aside, revealing his perfectly toned physique, and then stepped into the pool.
As his body was enveloped in the hot spring laced with medicine, Zhang Yi leaned against the edge of the wooden wall and let out a long breath.
"This is the proper standard for a business trip!"
"Who says you have to sleep in one of those space coffins when you travel to space?"
The water gently lapped against the pool wall, making a soft "thump-thump" sound.
The starlight outside was transformed into a soft glow inside, reflected on the water's surface, as if the Milky Way had been brought indoors.
Not long after, soft footsteps were heard outside the door.
It's Ling.
She didn't come in; she just stood at the door, like a silent guard.
She looked at Zhang Yi in the pool, her eyes calmer than could be.
"Your living quarters are too complicated."
"Real combat ships don't need these."
Zhang Yi leaned against the edge of the pool and looked up at her.
"Of course we need it."
“We are human beings, not spirits that float the whole time. You are an artificial human. Although you have ethereal matter like humans, your body composition is not flesh and blood.”
"You can't understand why people need to sleep, eat, take a bath, chat, or daydream."
"If the entire journey consists of just one corridor and one cockpit, do you believe that everyone on the ship would go crazy in less than twenty days?"
Ling thought for a moment.
"Right."
"Your spiritual dimension is unstable and requires material assistance."
"Don't talk as if I have an intellectual disability."
Zhang Yi said irritably, "I'm just afraid of being bored."
He paused, then suddenly asked again.
"Do you think if one day we really can develop wormhole technology and jump around in the universe at will, will the Creator come down and slap me on the head?"
Ling didn't even think about it.
"Yes, it will. But it won't come in person."
"It will remind you with rules."
"For example, you jump out and find there's nothing outside."
"Or, you might spend 90% of your energy only to get a meaningless coordinate."
"That sounds... very much like its style."
Zhang Yi sighed, "Can't you just let me have an easy time?"
"You've already made things very easy."
Ling said, "At least you can still soak in a hot spring in space."
