Chapter 722
Wilton, Ming He, and Luo Nan turned and left.
Only the tall Dean Yaochen found a smart chair and sat down.
Lin Qi and the other three followed suit, each finding a smart chair to sit on.
Dean Yaochen introduced the following to the four of them:
"We will be spending the next year on this ship."
"The Xuan Kun spacecraft we are riding on is an A-grade spacecraft built by the Grand Void Sacred Land."
"The main body of the ship is made of the human race's most advanced A-grade metal, while the core area uses S-grade metallic materials."
"Even a peak Fourth Realm martial artist cannot cause the slightest damage to this ship!"
"As for a super-powerful Fifth Realm expert, those on the weaker side can only cause minor damage."
"Only the strongest among the Fifth Realm can cause significant damage to the Xuan Kun."
"It is several grades higher than my own spacecraft; they are simply not in the same league."
Lin Qi and the other three gasped in shock.
Being unable to break the defense at the Fourth Realm and requiring a Fifth Realm powerhouse to cause damage was simply too exaggerated.
They had witnessed Dean Yaochen's power, destroying a Zerg brood nest larger than Blue Star in a single strike.
Yet, that power couldn't even breach the defenses of the Xuan Kun.
Jiang Tao exclaimed, "This is just too exaggerated!"
Dean Yaochen nodded and said, "Such a spacecraft, apart from the nine supreme forces, is extremely difficult for other civilizations to build."
"This is the technology and financial power that only the most top-tier forces of our human race can possess!"
"Even the hegemonic civilizations of the 108 star domains find it hard to own one."
"This is the strongest foundation of our entire human race!"
Lin Qi was deeply shocked; the supreme forces of the human race were more powerful than he could have imagined.
Just looking at the spacecraft used to pick up geniuses revealed a glimpse of their strength.
Dean Yaochen then projected a map and said:
"We have already entered the starry sky."
"Next, we will head to the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu and enter the Star Gate to reach the Tianyuan Elder Elder Xing Yu!"
"Every star domain has established Star Gates, allowing us to enter high-speed transport through jump nodes, enabling us to reach the Tianyuan Elder Elder Xing Yu in the shortest possible time."
Lin Qi asked curiously:
"What is a Star Gate?"
Dean Yaochen explained simply: "A Star Gate can be simply explained as a means of transport that can shorten distances."
"Through the Star Gate, our spacecraft can reach the Tianyuan Elder Elder Xing Yu faster."
"It allows us to arrive in the shortest time and save time."
"The universe is too vast, and as a peak race, we humans occupy 108 star domains!"
"Each star domain itself contains tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of star systems."
"The distance between star domains is extremely remote, starting at tens of billions of light-years."
"Even a Fifth Realm expert, flying at full speed, might not be able to cross the entire territory of the human race in thousands of years!"
"That is why the Star Gate technology exists."
"Within a star domain, to cross star systems, we can use curvature engine technology to achieve faster-than-light travel."
"But to cross star domains, we must enter a Star Gate."
"Of course, there is another technology that can reach the Grand Void Sacred Land even faster."
Sun Sheng asked curiously: "What technology?"
Dean Yaochen replied: "That is wormhole technology!"
"However, the cost of using this technology is too high; it burns money every time it is activated."
"Generally, it is something only super-powerful Fifth Realm experts can enjoy, or it is used when there is an extremely important matter."
"For us now, using Star Gate technology is just right."
Everyone nodded; they had gained a lot from this discussion with Dean Yaochen.
Lin Qi sat in his seat, looking at the surroundings, which were filled with brilliant stars.
He could see Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto, which only appeared in images.
Compared to them, Blue Star seemed particularly small, while the Trial Planet was a hundred times larger than Blue Star.
Then, Wilton suddenly walked out and said in a voice like a booming bell:
"Everyone, we are about to begin faster-than-light travel!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Xuan Kun spacecraft changed.
A large blue screen projected into everyone's field of vision.
The whale-like Xuan Kun changed its shape; its wings on both sides expanded to hundreds of meters, merging at the front of the ship like a blue blade.
"Boom!"
The spacecraft accelerated violently, and the space in front of it collapsed into a massive funnel-shaped vortex.
Then, the surrounding space began to recede rapidly; stars turned into elongated streams of light, and the Milky Way looked like a pulled-straight, brilliant ribbon.
Lin Qi felt a slight abnormality in his body.
However, the impact was minimal, and his vision was completely captivated by the scenery outside the window.
He saw the streams of light disappear in an instant, and they arrived in a void space.
The spacecraft was wrapped in a bubble as it rushed out of a massive one.
The surroundings suddenly opened up, and countless bubbles appeared in his vision.
"This is..."
Jiang Tao widened his eyes.
"These bubbles are star systems, and we are currently in the Lost Star Cluster; these are all Lost Star Systems."
"And your Blue Star is located in the Milky Way."
Luo Lin, standing not far away, answered.
Lin Qi looked at these bubbles, which had a crystalline and dreamy glow.
He had never expected there to be so many Lost Star Systems.
Everywhere he looked, there were these purple bubbles.
Dean Yaochen continued:
"At faster-than-light speed, we will arrive at the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu in 6 days!"
"My own spacecraft would have taken over a month."
"The Xuan Kun is more than five times faster than mine!"
At this moment, Wilton, with his burly build and thick beard, walked over to Lin Qi and the other three and said:
"I will take you to your rooms!"
Lin Qi and the others followed Wilton into a spacious metal corridor.
They arrived at a blue metal door marked 【A-15】.
Wilton scanned the screen on the door, causing the metal gate to slide open silently!
Lin Qi's gaze followed the light as he entered.
It was a small room of less than 100 square meters, feeling like a standard hotel room, containing a large bed and simple furniture, with nothing else.
Wilton said happily:
"Member Lin Qi, this is where you will be staying for the next year."
Lin Qi looked around and nodded.
Jiang Jiang Miaoyin asked curiously: "It feels even smaller than I imagined?"
Dean Yaochen explained:
"This time we are here to pick you up; usually, the Xuan Kun is used for other purposes, and the number of people transported is never small."
"To transport as many people as possible, the dormitories are not very large, and there is no space for everyone to stretch their bodies at will."
"However, there is the virtual universe, where you can practice martial arts."
Wilton's virtual bracelet lit up, and silver thin chips floated in the air.
"By the way, you can change your virtual bracelets."
"The virtual bracelets produced on Blue Star have too low a technological content, and the materials are not advanced enough."
"It's fine to use them normally on Blue Star, but during faster-than-light travel and in the starry sky, the materials won't hold up."
"This is the latest virtual equipment provided free of charge by our nine supreme forces to all joined members."
"It perfectly combines smart devices with virtual functions."
"Moreover, the material is hard, allowing you to use it in any environment, and the functions are more complete, capable of accommodating software from different smart devices simultaneously!"
Wilton briefly explained the functions, and Lin Qi and the others curiously took the blue chips, which were very thin.
"Buzz!"
As soon as it touched their bodies, it turned liquid-like, wrapping around their wrists and sticking tightly.
Lin Qi moved his wrist; the brand-new virtual bracelet was much lighter than the previous one.
The impact on his arm was almost non-existent.
He immediately pressed the switch, and a large screen popped up, requiring him to re-enter his account and complete authentication.
Lin Qi entered his virtual universe account.
After logging in, the original data information was also uploaded.
Seeing Lin Qi and the others playing with it happily, several more items appeared in front of Wilton instantly.
They were all golden spheres, the size of ping-pong balls, with surfaces flowing like liquid.
"This is...?"
Jiang Tao asked curiously.
Wilton said: "Your smart lives are too backward."
"And the chip materials are too low-level to adapt to most environments."
"Now, you only need to integrate the chip into the brand-new memory metal, and it will automatically upload the data."
"Their intelligence will be significantly improved."
"At the same time, they will possess top-tier defensive capabilities, even in the Third Realm."
"They are excellent defensive robots."
"Such technology is only possessed by the nine supreme forces."
"It is very difficult to obtain outside, and the cost of production is extremely expensive."
The four of them had their eyes light up as they took the metal spheres.
A moment later, everyone left.
Only Lin Qi remained, sitting on the large bed, with Xiao Tian crawling beside him, obedient and quiet, guarding closely around his master.
