Chapter 163 Starship Project!
However, we need to go to that "Rust-Etched Star".
Su Chen first faced a most basic, yet also most fatal, problem.
How is he going to get there?
With his current "Taoist body," he can command the wind and rain on Earth.
But for a physical body to traverse the universe, which spans light-years, is nothing short of a pipe dream.
He needs a ship, a spaceship capable of interstellar travel.
His gaze naturally settled on the dismantled and sealed remains of the seraph.
Inside, there lies what Earth civilization needs most—the core of a nearly intact "space jump engine".
The next day, Su Chen summoned a group of the most outstanding scientists in China and even the world.
Physicists, materials scientists, energy scientists...
These intelligent minds that survived the apocalypse were all brought to a top-secret base deep underground in the Kunlun Mountains.
When Su Chen extracted from the Seraphim the high-dimensional technological knowledge that surpassed thousands of years of Earth's civilization.
When the data was shared with them without reservation in the form of a data stream, the entire base fell into a long, deathly silence.
What followed was a volcanic eruption of fervor.
"My God... So that's how the theoretical model of antigravity technology works!"
"The construction principle of the energy shield... this... this is simply a concept only a god could conceive!"
"Psionic weapons... converting mental energy into physical attacks? This completely overturns our understanding of physics!"
These white-haired scientists were like a group of children who had seen candy.
His eyes shone with intense light, and he trembled with excitement.
They knew that a global technological explosion was about to begin in their hands.
Seeing their reactions, Su Chen solemnly announced an unprecedented plan.
"I named it 'Project Pangu'."
"Our goal is to use the remains of the Seraph as the core technology within six months."
"Combining all the resources we have on Earth, let's build our first interstellar warship!"
"I've named it—'Kunlun'!"
The enthusiasm of the entire scientific team was completely ignited.
Under the personal supervision and leadership of Su Chen, the "Lord of the World," countless technical challenges were overcome at an unprecedented speed.
The anti-gravity engine was the first to be manufactured, allowing the massive ship hull modules to be assembled while suspended in mid-air.
The energy shield generator was successfully activated, and a light blue hexagonal shield enveloped the entire dock.
The psionic amplification turrets are installed in key positions on the ship's hull, ready to unleash devastating firepower at any time.
The technological tree of Earth's civilization is climbing upwards at an absurd and irrational pace.
However, when the plan reached its most crucial step, an insurmountable problem arose.
That's energy!
The space jump engine from the Seraph requires a super energy source called the "Singularity Core" to power it.
That is by compressing matter to create a miniature artificial black hole singularity, from which almost unlimited energy is extracted.
This technology is so advanced that even scientists on Earth cannot fully understand its theory, let alone manufacture it.
"Advisor, without the Singularity Core, the warp drive is just a pile of scrap metal. We... can't do it."
The project's chief engineer, a highly respected senior academician, reported to Su Chen with a dejected expression.
Everyone was plunged into despair.
Is humanity's first starship going to be stranded because of a tiny "battery"?
Su Chen remained silent for a long time, then he raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"If you can't do it, I will."
He temporarily handed over command of the "Pangu Project" to Elder Long and went alone to the deepest part of the Earth—the Earth's core.
Suspended above the scorching Earth's core, feeling the terrifying temperature and pressure that could melt everything, Su Chen took a deep breath.
He wanted to solve this problem in the most primitive, brutal, and dangerous way.
He wants to mobilize the primordial power of the entire planet, forcibly compress matter, and create a "singularity" here by hand!
The dangers of this process exceeded everyone's imagination.
If he loses control of his power even slightly, the balance of gravity will be broken, and the entire Earth will instantly collapse inward and be swallowed by the black hole he created.
"In the name of the world, all things return to one!"
Su Chen's eyes lit up with a seven-colored light, and he mobilized the energy of the entire Earth's core.
He stretched out his right hand, and the space above his palm began to distort rapidly.
The surrounding matter was being pulled and compressed by an irresistible force.
A point, invisible to the naked eye yet radiating terrifying gravity, is slowly forming.
Su Chen's "Dao Body" was trembling violently, and his mental energy consumption had reached an unprecedented level.
He had to manipulate every parameter of the law with the precision of walking a tightrope.
Time passed by, second by second.
Finally, it was in his palm.
It was only the size of a fingernail, yet it emitted a dark purple light.
The surrounding space is constantly being created, destroyed, and twisted by crystals, which then condense and take shape.
An extremely unstable "artificial singularity core"!
Su Chen returned to the Kunlun base with this dangerous "heart".
The core was carefully installed into the engine room of the Kunlun.
And at the moment of successful startup, the entire warship emitted a deep hum.
A vast, boundless energy flowed through the pipes and permeated every corner of the warship.
On the bridge, all the instrument parameters instantly soared to their peak values!
It worked! ! !
Earth's first starship, in theory, already possesses the capability to travel far into space!
Just as the entire base erupted in deafening cheers.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from the Star Sea Terminal in Su Chen's mind.
[Warning! A large fleet not registered with the Council has been detected approaching the edge of the solar system!]
[Signal feature analysis...highly matches the 'Scavenger Civilization' in the database!]
The alarm sounded instantly throughout the bridge of the Kunlun.
On the huge holographic star map, there is a cluster of red signals representing dozens of points of light.
It has already crossed the planetary zone and is heading straight for the blue planet at extremely high speed!
They were clearly lured by the "fragrance" emanating from Earth, this newly born "newborn" planet.
Su Chen stood in front of the huge porthole, looking at the Kunlun ship's hull, which was already taking shape, with a cold and devoid of warmth in his eyes.
He calmly issued orders to everyone through the internal communication system.
"Project Pangu has entered its final stage; all personnel have had their vacations cancelled."
"The final debugging work must be completed within three days."
"Pass the word that our first group of guests has arrived ahead of schedule."
