The starry sky is vast, dark, and boundless.
In the vacuum of the endless universe, Mu Cang, wearing a wide-sleeved robe, was walking freely.
As he walked, countless silvery dazzling lights were projected from unknown places, like stars, reflecting on his broad-sleeved robe that was pure black as night.
The loose robe fluttered, and the endless shadows of stars on it also moved and shimmered.
Between the endless flow of light and shadow, it looks like the Milky Way and the sea of stars are slowly turning, just like Mu Cang's eyes, deep and unpredictable.
These mysterious 'dazzles' that seem to be projected from the sky are actually slight manifestations of high-dimensional pure energy in the low-dimensional real world.
They are all strange scenes presented by Mu Cang during his cultivation.
Mu Cang, who had opened the eighth heavenly gate, felt that the ninth heavenly gate was getting closer and closer.
It could be minutes, it could be hours.
Soon he will be able to completely cultivate the Cave Heaven Technique and reach the top of the Martial Saint Realm.
Buzz——
As Mu Cang walked leisurely, every step he took would cause large areas of space around him to violently twist and fold.
In this whirlpool where everything was extremely distorted, Mu Cang's figure appeared intermittently, and his whole person seemed to turn into nothingness, as if he would disappear from the universe at any time.
And accompanied by this kind of spatial distortion like a black hole sucking everything in the universe, every time Mu Cang took a leisurely step, he would instantly cross a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Its speed is so fast that it is almost as fast as light.
But even though Mu Cang was rushing in this way of twisting, compressing, and folding space, his overall speed was still strictly limited to the speed of light.
Even a tiny bit is insurmountable.
It was like the entire universe was against him.
No matter what, he is not allowed to exceed the speed of light.
"Even if I use this space-time telescope ability derived from space-time dimensionality, space topology, universe curvature interference, etc., I still can't break through the shackles of the speed of light."
Mu Cang, who was walking in the endless distortion of time and space with his hands behind his back, frowned and thought, "Are these shackles really so strong that they cannot be broken through?"
No one could answer him.
The universe remains silent.
"Ha." Mu Cang grinned, "The shackles of light speed will eventually be broken by me."
After taking a deep look at the stars that were unknown how many light years away, he continued walking in the void.
A few minutes later.
Outside the atmosphere of Mercury, which is a full 60 million kilometers away from the sun, a figure flashing with twisted ripples appeared out of thin air.
It was Mu Cang who was coming all the way through the twisted space.
Looking down.
Through the thin to almost non-existent atmosphere, he could easily sense that a group of sulfur-based life groups similar to ants had appeared beneath Mercury's seemingly desolate and hot surface.
These tiny, clumsy Mercury ants burrow in and out of underground rock formations.
They collect materials, dig holes and build nests, reproduce, and work tirelessly to build their own little kingdom.
If no one disturbs it, it is very likely that the first intelligent life on Mercury will evolve from them.
But these pioneers in the evolution of life on Mercury did not know that at this moment, in the deep space, a hundred thousand kilometers away from them, an alien visitor was quietly 'looking' here.
Of course, with their simple structure and extremely poor computing power, it will probably take a long, long time to understand the concept of "alien".
But in space, because of the birth of such a little life, Mu Cang sighed and said:
"Even this kind of simple life took hundreds of millions of years to evolve on Blue Star.
But after the spiritual energy was revived, even planets like Mercury, where complex life could not normally survive, were able to evolve this batch of life in such a short period of time.
It seems that the magic of spiritual energy is much greater than imagined. "
He lowered his head slightly, looked down at the silent Mercury below, and said softly:
"Because of the surge in spiritual energy activity, the birth of life has become so easy. If you think about it, it is possible that the entire galaxy is not as empty as imagined. It is more likely to be bustling and bustling."
After standing in the void and relaxing his thoughts for a while, Mu Cang withdrew his attention from the grand narrative of life, civilization, and the galaxy, and turned it back to himself.
Since he 'captured' the pyramid spacecraft last time, he has created a large number of clones and conducted extremely complicated and detailed research on it in the imaginary number space.
After some rigorous research work, Mu Cang discovered.
The pyramid spaceship with mysterious origins has been washed clean by 150,000 years.
After searching inch by inch on an almost atomic scale, he found not a single relic of the alien race that built the ship.
There was only this empty and incomplete hull missing a large number of important parts and equipment.
But this hull was a treasure of great value in Mu Cang's eyes.
Just from the multi-layer superposition imaginary number space that exists within itself, he reverse-engineered more sophisticated imaginary number space development and maintenance technologies.
Among the massive spiritual crystal protons that made the entire pyramid, Mu Cang discovered that there was a complex intelligent link network between these artificially modified protons, which could transmit energy and information to each other, and could even move on their own. Move, monitor and repair damage occurring throughout the hull.
This kind of material intelligence achieved at an extremely microscopic level allows the entire pyramid to have an almost permanent service life.
This also gave him a new understanding and thinking about the spiritual crystal material technology system he developed and created.
After absorbing part of the mercury group material technology and part of the material technology of the pyramid civilization, Mu Cang's spiritual crystal material preparation technology has quickly reached the peak of the nanometer level and is making great strides towards the picometer level. .
Perhaps it won't be long before the dismantled mercury spacecraft can be fully mass-produced, leading the entire Blue Star to enter the era of the sea of stars.
And the precious technology contained in the pyramid spacecraft goes far beyond that.
For example, the energy transmission network covering the entire hull gave Mu Cang a deep understanding and enlightenment of wireless energy transmission, a technological route that had not been explored before.
At the same time, the most precious thing about the pyramid spacecraft was the composite energy supply equipment at its core, which made his understanding of energy technology skyrocket.
Although Mu Cang cannot fully understand its main technical principles.
But just the series of technologies on the outer layer of the equipment technology 'package' to simulate high-energy substances with spiritual energy have already benefited him a lot.

If research is conducted along this technical route, then the mercury-based antimatter power furnace technology can be thrown into the trash can.
Antimatter is difficult to produce and laborious to preserve. Moreover, its use is fraught with dangers. One mistake could wipe out the entire ship.
Even the factory manufacturing of antimatter on the surface of a star is very dangerous. Just one problem and the entire biosphere and civilization may be blown up to the sky.
Even if it is produced in space, there will still be various problems, and if there is a problem, it will still be over.
In other words, the manufacturing and maintenance technology of the core antimatter source pool of the spiritual weapon combat body is still of some use.
However, the spiritual energy simulated high-energy material route used in the core power furnace of the pyramid spacecraft perfectly avoids the above-mentioned dangers.
Although the high-energy matter produced using this technology cannot match the energy density of antimatter, it has some strong advantages in terms of safety, reliability, and universality.
As long as there is spiritual energy around, the power furnace can continuously extract spiritual energy and transform matter to produce energy.
And these technologies are only peripheral technologies of the power furnace. The core technologies such as hydrogen decay, dark matter annihilation, vacuum energy borrowing, etc. are too difficult and complicated. , Mu Cang didn’t have any of them on hand, so now he could only rely on Delirium and Chaos to gnaw hard, and the difficulty increased explosively.
As a result, the sky above the sea of knowledge in his mind was completely filled with thousands of huge [questions], densely packed.
But that's also a good thing.
All kinds of complete or incomplete alien technological knowledge are constantly colliding with each other in the ocean of knowledge. New questions are generated every moment, and new answers appear every moment.
Endless inspiration stimulates him to continuously rise in the realm of martial arts.
And right in the hull, at the very core, Mu Cang discovered an incomplete and damaged warp engine.
In fact, the backbone of his ability to continuously compress space and gallop in the starry sky was derived from this engine.
Warp movement, also known as curvature movement.
Based on Mu Cang's extremely detailed research on the engine, it was deduced that when the engine is started, a warp bubble will be generated outside the entire pyramid spacecraft, which will then 'bulge' from the flat space-time.
If interpreted according to the general theory of relativity, this is a Lorentz manifold.
Based on the data extracted from the incomplete engine, Mu Cang speculated that a spacecraft wrapped in this Lorentzian manifold warp bubble could essentially move at faster than light speeds.
This is also the ability that Mu Cang dreams of.
Unfortunately, the cruel torrent of time has destroyed this engine beyond recognition.
At the same time, the level of the system to which its technology belongs is too far beyond Blue Star.
Even the mercury clan, who were so awesome in the original work that they beat Blue Star to near-annihilation, didn't have this kind of technology.
The dismantled Mercury starship and the memories of the Mercury crew contained no information about the so-called warp navigation technology.
There is a high probability that the Mercury clan does not have this level of technology.
Perhaps the threshold for this technology is really high. Even Mu Cang, who possesses delusion-breaking consciousness and chaos calculation, cannot decipher the overall technology tree of this technology in a short time. The roots of the tree are currently out of reach and can only be touched. some bark.
The gap is really too big.
And if you really want to start this engine to generate a usable warp bubble, you need to consume a kind of 'fuel' to create a large-scale [negative energy].
And this fuel is strange matter.
The so-called strange matter is a special case of quark matter, which is a high-pressure fluid composed of up quarks, down quarks and strange quarks.
This kind of fluid material has strong repulsion to the gravitational force, that is to say, it has extremely strong gravitational negative pressure.
This kind of material theoretically only exists in the high-density, high-temperature and high-pressure environment of the core of a neutron star.
In a word, there are no neutron stars in the solar system and there are no strange substances. It is pure delusion to start the warp engine.
Of course, if it was before obtaining the memories of those mercury crew members, Mu Cang might really be helpless.
Because the neutron stars closest to the solar system are hundreds of light-years away, distant water cannot quench our thirst for nearness.
But it's different now.
During the desperate journey of the mercury tribe into the Oort Cloud wormhole, Mu Cang glimpsed traces of the existence of strange substances.
The so-called galactic tyrant who made the Mercury fleet extremely fearful had extremely detailed notes in the memory of the well-informed fat captain of the Mercury clan.
Due to the Pauli exclusion principle, different constituent particles are prohibited from occupying the same quantum state, and particles forced to reduce their volume will enter a high-energy state, resulting in huge degeneracy pressure and outrageously exaggerated intensity.
The galactic tyrant sleeping deep in the wormhole is a creature composed of neutron degenerate matter.
That is, neutron star material life.
But the difference is that the huge galactic tyrant is not a creature living on the surface of a neutron star.
It itself is basically an intelligent neutron star.
It is very likely that there are strange substances inside its body.
Only by obtaining strange matter can the curvature engine of the pyramid be activated.
Only after the engine is activated to generate a specific warp bubble, can Mu Cang start from the changed flat space-time, directly cross the technology tree that is not clear and unclear about the curvature engine, and realize his personal true super at the level of extraordinary abilities. Moving at the speed of light.
Although there is a super-light speed secret technology called real number channel, it is limited by [the propagation speed of effective information cannot exceed the speed of light], which makes it extremely limited on a larger spatial scale with light years as the calculation unit, so Mu Cang still needs it. A more convenient ability to move faster than light.
And for this kind of galactic tyrant-level life form, other than the sun, Blue Star, Mercury, Mars and other planets are really as fragile as the paper lake.
It’s no wonder those mercury tribesmen are so scared.
Speaking of Star Destroyers.
Mu Cang, who had taken a detour into the core of the sun, finally completed the practice of the Cave Heaven Technique at this moment after several days of practice.
Buzz——
At this moment, all one hundred and eight orifices in Mu Cang's body shone with divine light.
The surrounding space was crazily distorted as if it was about to burst. Endless pure energy was drawn from the high-dimensional space and materialized in reality. It continued to ripple and rotate around Mu Cang, who calmly spread his hands, and was absorbed and swallowed. , rapidly sublimating hundreds of billions of cells throughout the body.
Zoom in and step into the microcosm.
At this time, every cell in Mu Cang was leaping and tumbling in the mighty torrent of high-dimensional energy, transforming into small suns shining with high-energy brilliance.
The strength of his body and soul also climbed crazily at this time, almost endlessly.
boom! ! !
Suddenly, Mu Cang, standing in the starry sky, turned into a real sun.
On the level of physical reality, it is like a gamma ray burst.
Mu Cang closed his eyes slightly and opened his arms widely, spreading waves of destructive strong electromagnetic waves into the surrounding starry sky, as well as billions of beams of ultra-high-energy radio fields that could easily evaporate all matter.
These all rapidly cover the surrounding starry sky in the form of light from all angles.
So dazzling, so shining.
So much so that the sun, hundreds of millions of kilometers away, was completely overshadowed by Mu Cang in terms of luminosity, making it a little darker.
But Mercury, the closest planet, is in bad luck.
The originally thin atmosphere was instantly evaporated into nothing by the light field emitted when Mu Cang broke through the realm across a hundred thousand kilometers.
Mercury's surface is also baked to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius in just a few seconds.
For a time, the air twisted, mountains collapsed, and the earth melted.
Countless rock formations quickly melted into rivers of magma.
The sky was billowing and burning red.
