Chapter 449

“Moon Palace—this name isn’t bad, but I’ve only returned and assisted the base with a few experiments. How can you be certain I can truly cross back to the cultivation world?” Wang Yu rubbed his chin and asked thoughtfully.

“Though not one hundred percent, there’s at least a seventy to eighty percent chance. After all, don’t forget—I’m also a crosser.” Chen Boshi casually pressed a button on his chest, and instantly, the space within a zhang’s radius fell utterly silent before he replied calmly.

It seemed he had used some technological means to create a soundproof zone around them, unwilling to let other staff overhear their conversation.

“Doctor, I’m no scientist, but isn’t time travel fundamentally different from space crossing?” Wang Yu glanced at Chen Boshi, his face wearing an expression of “you’re fooling an innocent boy.”

“Heh, though the two are different, they share many similarities—otherwise, how could we even have the concept of ‘spacetime’? Whenever you mention time, space must follow.”

“But to put your mind at ease, let me first give you a brief introduction on how we’ll help you cross to another world,” Chen Boshi said with a chuckle.

“Oh, Doctor, please go on.” Wang Yu perked up at once.

He had long yearned for the ability to consciously control his crossing between the two worlds.

“First, based on several tests we’ve conducted on you, we found that when your body is in extreme danger, your brainwaves undergo abnormal oscillations—even when your conscious mind is unconscious or asleep, these oscillations persist, and even intensify.”

“This is likely the primary reason your consciousness crosses over.”

“Combined with your own account—that each time you crossed, it was under life-threatening conditions—it’s clear your consciousness shifts between bodies in two worlds.”

“Therefore, we’ve installed ultra-low-temperature equipment in the Moon Palace, directly linked to your sleep pod. We’ll artificially create ultra-low temperatures inside the pod to trigger your body’s instinctive sense of danger, thereby stimulating your consciousness to cross into the Sa Tan world,” Chen Boshi said, pointing to the black sleep pod within the massive sphere.

“Ultra-low temperatures? That sounds dangerous,” Wang Yu said, frowning slightly as he gazed from afar at the sleep pod inside the sphere.

“Relax. We’ve conducted numerous experiments on ultra-low temperatures in the future—your safety is guaranteed.”

“Moreover, after studying with several other experts, we’ve deduced that your ability to cross consciousness between worlds stems from something akin to a ‘spacetime anchor’ embedded within both of your bodies.”

“Simply put, when you’re in extreme peril in one world, an unknown protective mechanism activates, automatically shifting your consciousness to the other world,” Chen Boshi explained.

“That doesn’t make sense—my original body was destroyed. This one is just a cloned replacement. Yet I still crossed back to Blue Star,” Wang Yu said, his mind stirred by the idea of an automatic protection mechanism, yet still puzzled.

His Taiyuan System did indeed have an automatic protection mechanism.

“Oh, that’s easily explained.”

“This ‘spacetime anchor’ can be transferred or regenerated—it exists within your body, but isn’t fixed to just one physical form,” Chen Boshi explained with deep implication.

“So, Doctor, are you saying that if multiple clones of me existed on Blue Star simultaneously, the ‘spacetime anchor’ could also exist in all of them?”

“If so, when my consciousness returns to Blue Star, which body would it choose?” Wang Yu asked curiously after thinking it over.

“Student Ding Yu, that scenario won’t occur,” Chen Boshi said, shaking his head without surprise.

“Why not?” Wang Yu was slightly startled.

“According to our research and deductions, although this ‘spacetime anchor’ is extraordinary, it’s highly dependent—it only transfers or regenerates after the previous body containing it has been destroyed.”

“You needn’t worry about multiple clones simultaneously possessing the anchor.”

“I believe the anchor’s effect is singular—it can only be active in one body at a time, never simultaneously in multiple bodies.”

“As for which cloned body it will appear in, we haven’t gathered enough evidence yet, but I personally suspect it will manifest in the clone most similar to the one just destroyed.”

“After all, even among clones, there are subtle differences in completion level,” Chen Boshi explained calmly.

“Doctor, everything you say sounds like nothing but speculation and guesswork,” Wang Yu said, speechless after listening.

“Spacetime research requires infinite time. Blue Star’s studies in this field have only just begun. To have these deductions is already impressive.”

“These hypotheses are built upon decades of prior research by the future Blue Star Alliance,” Chen Boshi replied indifferently.

This time, it was Wang Yu who fell silent. Chen Boshi then pointed to the Moon Palace and continued calmly:

“The Moon Palace has three levels, equipped with Blue Star’s most secure intelligent defense system. No one except you and me will ever be allowed inside, to prevent anyone from using psychic abilities to impersonate others and infiltrate.”

“It will also include personal living quarters, storage for long-term survival supplies, and even a dedicated training space.”

“The Moon Palace will be fitted with a small nuclear power source and flight engines. Even without external power, all internal systems will remain operational—and if a catastrophe arises too great for the base to withstand, it can lift off and flee immediately.”

“Moreover, as the most critical device inside the Moon Palace, this custom-built ‘No.1 Sleep Pod’ not only facilitates your consciousness crossing between worlds, but also features electric shock electrodes and intelligent massage arms to maintain your body’s vitality during prolonged sleep, enabling muscle exercise within a controlled range.”

“Otherwise, no matter how hard you train now or how strong your body becomes, after a year or two of sleep, your muscles will atrophy and revert to ordinary human levels—wasting all your effort.”

“Additionally, this ‘No.1 Sleep Pod’ can directly log into ‘Star River Game,’ Blue Star’s most advanced virtual reality pod.”

“I and some members of the Ark Team are still researching how to use the special system within ‘Star River Game’ to establish cross-world communication.”

“If successful, even in the cultivation world, you’ll be able to receive real-time information and guidance from Blue Star…”

“Doctor—you’re saying ‘Star River Game’ can connect to me in the cultivation world?” Wang Yu’s expression had remained unchanged until now, but upon hearing Chen Boshi’s final words, he was taken aback.
