The product of ‘Creation Theory,’ the ‘Reality Penetrometer,’ had an extraordinarily powerful effect.
Li Wenyuan also had an item with a similar name. It was the ‘Curtain Penetrometer’ that was once left behind by humans in the Milky Way.
The introduction of the ‘Curtain Penetrometer’ mentioned that it was a product of the ‘Creation Theory.’ Li Wenyuan also now understood what the real product of ‘Creation Theory’ was.
In the Milky Way, the ‘Curtain Penetrometer’ had the magical effect of a Wishing Machine. However, such an effect was limited to the Milky Way. After leaving the Milky Way, the ‘Curtain Penetrometer’ could only achieve a negligible effect.
Li Wenyuan guessed that might be because the ‘Curtain’ that enveloped the Milky Way had given the Milky Way a special cosmic environment, and the ‘Curtain Penetrometer’ could only be used in such an environment.
But as the real product of ‘Creation Theory,’ the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ didn’t have the limitations of the universe environment.
Li Wenyuan confirmed that its effects could basically be summarized as ‘law modifications’ in a certain area.
The duration was very limited, and the scope of the changes was not large. The universe would quickly return to normal, but its effects and possibilities were unparalleled.
For example, if necessary, he could use the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ to temporarily adjust the strength of the electromagnetic force in an area.
The most direct effect was the almost-guaranteed failure of all mechanical equipment, and that was just on the surface.
In fact, even the force between molecules would change, the chemical bond combination speed would be affected, and the metal atoms would become harder or more vulnerable as the strength of the electromagnetic force changed.
And adjusting the electromagnetic force would even affect the ‘speed of light’ itself, increasing or decreasing the ‘speed of light’ that was part of the universe laws in a specific area.
That was only a part of the functions of the ‘Reality Penetrometer.’
Even though the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ could not make modifications to a large extent, it was still of great use in combat or scientific research.
However, it was clear that the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ that was applicable to the entire universe was much more complicated to use than the ‘Curtain Penetrometer.’ To achieve an effect similar to ‘wishing,’ the parts that needed to be modified were rather c.u.mbersome, and there was even the possibility of errors in the modifications.
However, the fact that it could modify a small part of the laws was enough to prove its strength. After all, that was a true ‘law’ weapon, an improvement from zero to one.
As for the super megastructure derived from the ‘Creation Theory,’ Li Wenyuan looked at its introduction and functions and found it somewhat familiar.
[Pillar of Creation]
[Introduction: This is a super megastructure that once only existed in theory. Its complete span exceeds dozens of galaxies. Most of the fulcrums have to be built in sub-s.p.a.ce, connected by the ‘Anchor of Reality.’ Sometimes, it may be more appropriate to call it a ‘semi sub-s.p.a.ce megastructure.’]
[However, undeniably, it is a great project. As long as there is enough material as the starting fuel, we can divide the world and recreate the universe. With the body of a mortal, we can carry out the great cause of creation.]
Of course, what he was familiar with was not the introduction but the function of the ‘Pillar of Creation.’ That super megastructure could do many things, including ‘stretching the s.p.a.ce of a certain area.’
That almost immediately reminded him of the 200,000 light-years long ‘Heavenly Chasm’ in the ‘Spiral Galaxy Alpha.’
He originally thought that something had moved all the celestial bodies in the ‘Heavenly Chasm’ in a short period, causing the area to become empty.
However, with the understanding of the ‘Pillar of Creation,’ he suddenly realized that the area might not have been ‘cut open,’ but that the s.p.a.ce there had been artificially stretched with a certain plane as the benchmark, causing the distance between the two ends of the ‘Heavenly Chasm’ to increase by tens of thousands of light-years.
“From the looks of it, perhaps ‘one of the creations’ that the ‘Scribe’ civilization has is a certain ‘Pillar of Creation’?”
“Since there’s ‘one of the creations,’ does that mean there can also be two or three? Can that mean that the ‘Pillar of Creation’ of the ‘Scribe’ is actually incomplete?”
Li Wenyuan felt that his understanding of the ‘Scribe’ had deepened slightly. The advancement of technology seemed to be the same. Since the other party was not much different from him, he did not have to worry too much.
Therefore, after sighing that his trip to the Black Hole was indeed not fruitless, he immediately began the preparations to drag the ‘Infinite Divine
Armaments’ out of the Black Hole.
Although there was no need to build a new ‘Matter Depressurizing Device’ to obtain the distorted gravity to penetrate the Black Hole, a simplified facility with similar functions would take some time to build.
At that moment, he started to arrange the second matter related to the Black Hole, which was the magical ‘purification’ power.
After the product from the last era was devoured by the Black Hole, the hidden information in the product would be released back to the universe through radiation. The ‘product of the last era’ that had been ‘purified’ by the Black Hole would belong to the ‘present,’ so it would not suffer from ‘dimensional erosion’ or be hunted by the universe.
The only cyclable ‘product of the last era’ that Li Wenyuan had was the scale of the Ether Dragon. When he plucked a scale the size of a s.p.a.ceship from the Ether Dragon, the ancient creature even let out a very humane “ah.”
Li Wenyuan also knew that that was just the Ether Dragon’s doing. After plucking the scale, he hurriedly brought it to another Black Hole, leaving behind the Ether Dragon with a resentful expression.
Apart from throwing the scale into the Black Hole to test its ‘Power of Purification,’ he also planned to experiment with the Level 9 technology, ‘Mirror of Universe.’
Although the level of the technology was very high, the ‘Mirror of Universe’ did not bring any direct benefits. To be precise, the ‘Mirror of Universe’ was an observation method and a technology to a.s.sist scientific research. Its nature was to discover things through observing Black Holes. Only its product, the ‘Mirror Stabilizer,’ could bring practical effects.
Therefore, while throwing in the Ether Dragon’s scales, he also built a Black Hole observation station according to the method of the ‘Mirror of Universe’ and used the observation method of the ‘Mirror of Universe’ to observe the Black Hole.
Soon, the scale from the ancient beast was thrown into the Black Hole from a s.p.a.ceship under Li Wenyuan’s command.
“…I have to admit that the Ether Dragon’s scale is indeed quite impressive. As expected of something that experienced the Big Bang…”
Li Wenyuan exclaimed as he looked at the scale that was almost torn apart by the Black Hole’s gravity before falling into the event horizon.
It was well known that the larger the size of an object, the greater the tidal force it would experience when approaching a Black Hole. The Ether Dragon’s scale could almost rely on its strength to prevent itself from being torn apart before falling into the event horizon.
And that was under the conditions of the Ether Dragon not getting used to the laws of the current universe and its various abilities in a state of rapid declination. That made him feel that the Ether Dragon might be able to enter and leave the Black Hole at will at its peak.
After the scale was torn apart, it quickly rubbed against the Black Hole’s accretion disk that still had matter, releasing rays.
Li Wenyuan took a long time to detect the intermittent signals. However, after a series of a.n.a.lyses, he confirmed that that was the detailed data of the Ether Dragon’s scale. There were even some parts that were almost impossible to measure. That allowed him to confirm the Black Hole’s ‘purification’ function.
There were also unexpected situations in the observation of the ‘Mirror of Universe.’
In the process of observing the Ether Dragon’s scale being torn apart, the ‘Mirror of Universe’ observation station built on top of the Black Hole discovered that a portion of the scale seemed to have a strange effect on the Black Hole when it fell into it.
At that moment, the ‘Mirror of Universe’ observation station discovered that the time expansion effect around the Black Hole had become a little stronger, and something seemed to be forming on the surface of the Black Hole that should have been invisible.
That discovery was fleeting, like an observation error, but Li Wenyuan felt it was also an extremely important discovery.
Perhaps, as more things were thrown into the Black Hole in the future, he would be able to explore the secret of the ‘Mirror of Universe.’
After dealing with those matters, the ‘Gravity Distorter,’ which would be used to drag the ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ out of the Black Hole, was also completed. The matching ‘Mirror Stabilizer’ was also a.s.sembled.
After many simulations and experiments with the function of the ‘Mirror Stabilizer’ in a particular Black Hole, the ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ was finally pulled out of the Black Hole under perfect preparation.
Witnessing a huge mechanical sphere being dragged out of the Black Hole bit by bit was undoubtedly an extremely shocking thing. That precious scene was also recorded by Li Wenyuan and stored in the database.
After the ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ exited, they also showed human-like happiness, as if they were happy to be able to carry out their ‘mission’ again.
[Thankyou, thank you, kind friend.]
[Now, we finally have a chance to continue our mission. We will continue to understand ‘infinity’ and try to create a similar ‘Creator.’]
[Both of these missions will take a long time. Thank you again.]
[You’re looking for ‘you,’ right? Yes, yes, we have a clue.]
[We once…encountered ‘you’ in these galaxies.]
The ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ sent three coordinates to Li Wenyuan. That was an extremely complicated piece of data. After a.n.a.lyzing it for a while, he confirmed the exact locations of the coordinates. They were three galaxies of different sizes at about two million light-years away, eight million light-years away, and…a billion light-years away from the current ‘Spiral Galaxy Alpha,’ respectively.
[Then let’s part ways here. We may meet again in the future. Time is a ring. We will meet again.]
After the last sentence, the ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ left using the warp drive.
The s.p.a.ce-time disturbance caused by planet-sized objects like them during the warp was unparalleled. They would almost be discovered the moment they finished the warp, but they did not seem to care about it.
Meanwhile, Li Wenyuan was also pondering over the words of the ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ and began to prepare to set off for the selected target galaxy..
