Chapter 23

“This is…”

When the professor brought his students to the residence that the Administrator had arranged for them, they were instantly stunned by the grand scene.

...

This was a Synthetic City.

A large number of buildings were gathered in a prototype area. Under perfect advance planning, it did not seem crowded, but it made full use of every space.

From the metal floor to the skyscraper that towered into the clouds, it was as big as a comprehensive park that covered thousands of square meters and as small as a rice cooker connected to a metal base.

Everything in the city, including the city itself, was “synthesized” by some larger machine.

In layman’s terms, it was a city printed by a super large 3D printer.

“Could he still have such a thought? What a terrifying civilization…” Cooper’s words carried a deep sigh, and he was also scared.

He felt that it was a great fortune that he had not said anything bad to the Administrator from the beginning to the end. He could not even imagine how powerful such a civilization was in its heyday. The Laborn Federation established by his own race might not even be a speck of dust in their eyes.

“A civilization that can build such a battleship must be able to build such a city easily.” The professor was also amazed, and his eyes were full of fascination, as if the city in front of him was a piece of art.

Li Wenyuan felt comfortable listening to the aliens’ flattery. Although the construction of the city had nothing to do with him, who didn’t like to see the envious eyes of others?

Their speculations also caught Li Wenyuan’s attention. He pulled out the technology tree and began to read.

“This city must have used this technology, right?” With that thought in mind, he found the relevant technology among the dark branches and leaves.

[ Large-scale printing project ]

[ Technology level: 5 ]

[ Introduction: In the past, the production line greatly increased our industrial production, and the assembly factory became a synonym for efficiency. However, in an era where products are gradually becoming larger, we should try to find more efficient methods. For example, a machine that can print cities. ]

[ Possible technology: combined fleet (0%), giant printing project (0%), giant construction project (0%) ]

Li Wenyuan didn’t light up this technology. The Synthetic City in front of him was one of the legacies left behind by humans.

However, at present, there was only one city on the planet that looked like this, which meant that the prospects of this large-scale printing project were not very optimistic. Humans had only experimented once before giving up.

Otherwise, there should be Synthetic Cities everywhere.

When they were close to the city, Li Wenyuan suddenly remembered something and said to the aliens,

“Speaking of which, if I want to use the various facilities of this city, I have to connect to the network here…

“You guys are not robots, so I don’t think you’ll accept the chip implantation method. We’ll use this for the time being.”

He took out a tablet-like item and gave one to each of the aliens.

“There should be many similar things in interstellar space. I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to adapt quickly. If you have any problems, contact me through this.”

After saying this, he turned around and took off. He drew an arc in the sky and disappeared from the eyes of the aliens.

The aliens also looked at each other, and Cooper couldn’t help but say,

“He’s leaving like this? Don’t you need to monitor us?”

The professor sighed and said helplessly, “For this person, the entire planet must be under his supervision. From the looks of it, have you seen any other outsiders?”

“If I’m not wrong, this person is probably civilized.

“Rest these few days and be prepared to never go back…”

…

Li Wenyuan didn’t hear the aliens’ discussion. It was just an illusion that he had controlled the synthetic humanoid to fly away. In fact, his consciousness data had returned to the administration core the moment he took off.

At this moment, the autopsy results of the extremely confident alien Hu Si were out. Li Wenyuan was very curious about how he controlled gravity.

And the answer was right in front of him.

In a laboratory in the research zone, a white fragment the size of a rice grain was bound in the center by a powerful force field.

This was the special material extracted from Hu Si’s corpse, which also surprised Li Wenyuan.

The database introduced it as such:

[ Living neutron star matter ]

[ Introduction: High-density neutron star matter has been artificially separated and maintained in the degenerate neutron state through a certain process. There seems to be a special group of people in the universe who can use this neutron star matter to generate gravity in a small range. ]

“There’s even a race that’s almost on par with superpowers?” Li Wenyuan furrowed his brows, finding it hard to understand.

The particle-sized neutron star matter weighed more than ten million tons. He had no idea how an ordinary and stupid alien like Hu Si had managed to keep it in his body without tearing it apart.

“Don’t tell me it’s related to those idealistic civilizations again…” At the thought of that unscientific existence, he felt a headache. He wanted to dig out Newton’s coffin and let the old man see for himself what magic was.

“But thanks to him, I’ve also unlocked a new technology.”

As he spoke, the technology tree was once again displayed in the virtual world. In the middle section, there was also a technology that was lit up alone.

[ Zero-element material ]

[ Technology level: 6 ]

[ Introduction: High-density neutron materials may solve the battleship defense problem that has been plaguing us for a long time. After this, all attacks will become a part of it. ]

[ Possible technology: Zero-element armor (0%)

The branch of zero-element material ended at the zero-element armor, which surprised Li Wenyuan a little.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t activate the prerequisite technology zero-element mining. I can’t use this technology even if I have it.” After lamenting that he had gained another technology that he didn’t need for the time being, he turned his attention to a project that had just been completed not long ago.

“With this, I don’t have to worry about resources…” His eyes lit up, and his digitized vision was filled with anticipation for the future.

At this moment, a huge black box slowly rose from the ground.

This was the dimensions creation device that had just been repaired. It could extract resources from parallel universes and achieve the creation of things in this universe.

Its main facilities were all in this huge black box that covered an area of over a thousand square kilometers. Although it was much smaller than a Level 4 singular point, it was still an extremely special facility.

Li Wenyuan still remembered that the repair blueprint had specifically stated that no personnel, not even robots, could be placed into the black box after the dimensions creation device was activated.

At the same time, they couldn’t use monitoring equipment to directly observe the interior of the black box. Even if there was a problem, they had to wait for the dimensions creation device to shut down before they could repair it.

It could be said that according to the special instructions on the blueprint, after the dimensions creation device was activated, it would be a forbidden area for observation.

Although the produced resources would be transported to the outside world through fully-automatic transportation pipes, Li Wenyuan always felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at the special instructions.

“Forget it, there are many strange things in this universe. It’s better to think more about the present.” He had no intention of going against the special instructions. He ordered the synthetic humanoid to transfer the last condition of the repair process to the external infusion device. Czero was sent into the black box.

After that, everything was calm. There were no explosions or strange lights.

The world was still operating normally.

But Li Wenyuan, who was staring at the planet management interface, gradually smiled.

[ Current energy production of the planet: 120000 energy units]

[ Data damage consumption: 72000 energy units]

[ Dimensions creation device consumption: 5000 energy units]

..

[ Current energy savings: 15050 energy units ]

The dimensions creation device began to operate normally, and he also saw the output value that was constantly soaring.

“It’s good to have more things… After I plant it for eight to ten years, I should have the ability to see the world on the interstellar space stage, right?”
