As soon as these words were spoken, the geometric stars in the conference hall suddenly fell into a state of near frenzy!
Hundreds of years ago, the Geometry Civilization had carried out similar energy transformation technology, but during the experiment, they encountered many problems and the success rate was pitifully low, so it was temporarily shelved. This time, Ita was able to achieve significant results so quickly, thanks to these research materials that were recently released.
And the good news doesn't stop there. Researchers conducting ecosystem and weapons research have also reported their breakthroughs in magic research.
The first is the magic derivative plan, which has always been listed as the most important project by the geometric civilization and has received the most resources.
They have established "ranches" on more than 30 life planets that serve as experimental sites. Everything seems to be going well at the moment, but because the Geometry Civilization lacks the dimensional manipulation technology like the Magic Empire, it will take a few years to see results.
Fortunately, as an alternative, the plan to cultivate magical creatures in breeding cabins that was implemented simultaneously has also made a breakthrough. Now, industrialized cultivation, breeding and killing have been implemented, and finally the magic power is extracted, which can greatly speed up the acquisition of magic power, a special energy source.
Finally, it is about the development of weapons.
Since magic can affect dimensions, we can naturally use magic to develop and improve artificial black hole technology, greatly reducing the difficulty of creating a collapse core, making this cutting-edge weapon that originally took ten years to manufacture normalized, and even using it to develop more powerful dimensional weapons!
Although most of the disruptive technologies developed based on magic are still in their infancy, the potential they demonstrate is already shocking enough.
Amid the calls for increasing investment in research resources and starting human experiments as soon as possible, some leaders sensed something was amiss. It was indeed strange that the Magic Empire had handed over magic power to them so easily and had not stopped or interfered with the experiments in any way.
Judging from previous contacts, this is definitely not a civilization that advocates the concepts of 'absolute peace' and 'absolute goodwill'.
However, the opposition from a few people is insignificant. On one side are groundless speculations, and on the other side are real technological advances. Everyone knows which choice to make.
If we only care about the beginning and the end because of some concerns, there will be no need for scientific development.
Lin En, who was hundreds of light years away, was watching the discussion in the conference room through the perspective of the energy-enabled owl beast.
It has to be said that the situation here is better than he had expected. In just over a year, the Geometry Civilization has mastered the most important technologies of magic derivation and carbon-based biological energy transformation, and its methods are much more ruthless than theirs.
The parliament has set up a system for the planet's ranchers to promote survival of the fittest, with life and death determined by racial reproduction and natural selection. For the creatures on the planet, this is a complete life.
Moreover, after death, the fourth level of wisdom is not enough to form a thinking ghost, but rather scattered fragments of consciousness. If left unattended, they will soon return to nature. What they convert is this part of energy.
But Lin En also had to admit that the efficiency of this kind of industrialized breeding was very high, just like the industrial ranches in his previous life, where the cattle and sheep were tied up in small cages and ate and slept, slept and ate until they were fattened and slaughtered.
Lin En is also very interested in the artificial black hole technology that the Geometric Civilization is currently developing.
If this thing can really be mass-produced, it will be much easier to deal with the gods of the main world in the future. Just open a door and hundreds of artificial black holes will be blasted directly over, and most of the gods' domains connected to them will be torn apart together.
Chapter 659: Snake Swallows Elephant - Controlling Geometric Galaxy
"Experiment No. 513 can begin!"
In the vast universe, in galaxy No. 0600, in a cutting-edge scientific research laboratory, hundreds of geometric aliens were bound in a huge instrument. With the terrifying energy impact from all directions, their bodies were directly shattered into a group of discrete basic particles.
Then, thousands of mechanical limbs extended from all directions. These scattered particles regrouped under the influence of an unknown force and finally transformed into long, azure-colored creatures. However, some of the instruments were empty, apparently failing in the final reorganization stage.
Just as researcher Ita was about to ask someone to record the research data, the door of the laboratory was slammed open.
The person who suddenly broke in was the leader of the disc [Gerta], and the moment he entered the door, he asked impatiently, "What is the success rate of the experiment now?"
"The success rate has increased to about 85%. Give me some more time, at most two years, no, one year, and I will be able to increase this probability to more than 95%!" Researcher Ita said firmly.
However, the disc leader [Gerta] was not prepared to give him this time.
"Eighty-five percent, that's enough!"
[Gerta] can't wait that long. His life span has already reached its limit. In order to prolong his existence, he has undergone physical transformations more than seventy times, and has extended his life for two thousand seven hundred years. All his functions have weakened to the extreme, and he even has side effects such as limb asymmetry and confusion. According to the calculation of the optical brain, he has at most twenty atomic hours left.
Because of this, after attending the meeting, he anxiously found Ita, directly started the human experiment, and did his best to provide the other party with all the resources needed.
Of course, these experimental subjects were not captured by force, because there was no need for coercion or intimidation. There were more than 200 billion geometric aliens in the vast star field that he controlled!
There are many adventurers among them, as well as aliens whose lifespan has come to an end but want to continue. They can easily pull out a large number of experimental subjects. The reason why the scale of the experiment is limited is simply because the reserves of magic power are limited!
In just a few months, they have tried countless methods, and this is the one with the highest success rate so far!
[Gerta] knew very well that it would be difficult for energy transformation technology to make significant progress in a short period of time, and he couldn't wait any longer!
Eighty-five percent is worth a gamble!
"I'll give you another ten atomic hours to prepare. Do your best and ensure that you complete this energy transformation no matter what the cost!" Gerta said firmly.
All around, the guards protecting the laboratory pointed their weapons at the researchers, and their meaning was very clear.
When his life was about to come to an end, Gerta could no longer care about anything else and could only use this method to inspire the potential of a group of researchers.
Itaton felt a great deal of pressure and vaguely regretted having rashly accepted the funding from the disc leader, but things had come to this point and he could only bite the bullet and instruct the other researchers to adjust the data to see if he could optimize the plan again.
Ten hours later, the disc leader [Gerta] underwent magical transformation as promised, and then stepped into the instrument. Ita and others were extremely nervous, and when they clicked to confirm, their hearts were already in their throats.
A terrifying energy beam blasted down from the top of the instrument. Almost instantly, the leader [Gerta]'s body was submerged in the energy impact. His flesh collapsed layer by layer until it completely disappeared from the spot.
It was an indescribable pain, but it was nothing to Gerta because it was the hope of life!
Ita and other researchers stared at the data displayed on the light screen, not daring to relax at all. They all knew that if the experiment failed, they would be buried with it!
At the same time, [Gerta] has been immersed in the endless sea of consciousness. This is an extremely strange experience, a bit like the feeling of connecting thoughts, memories and optical brains.
The sea of consciousness was filled with chaotic darkness, with countless tiny points of light flashing continuously. These were all the memory fragments of Gerta.
Among them, there was a ray of light that was the brightest. It attracted Gerta's attention the moment it appeared. However, he soon discovered something was wrong. This ray of light vaguely reflected a human figure.
"How come you are here!" Gerta said in horror, and recognized him at a glance. This was the interstellar governor of the Magic Empire - Lin En!
"No, it should be said that you appeared in my territory." Lin En retorted with a smile. This place is part of the magic network. It just connects to the other party's sea of consciousness and materializes it.
Gerta's illusory figure shook violently. The moment he saw Lin En, he realized that this was a trap!
The other party handed over the magic power to them so easily and agreed to the transaction request, probably just for this moment!
[Gerta] was so frightened that he wanted to send electromagnetic waves to communicate, but this was the magic network, the world of consciousness, and all his actions were meaningless.
Lin En didn't delay. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and chains surged up from all directions.
Outside, in the scientific research laboratory, Ita and other researchers stared at the huge instrument in front of them, but they did not see Gerta's body being reconstructed, and they became anxious.
"Could it be... a failure?" a researcher couldn't help but say.
Ita's heart immediately sank to the bottom. With a 15% chance, he shouldn't be so unlucky...
Just when more than a hundred guards surrounded them, new changes finally appeared in the instrument. A circular ring of colors, sounds and shadows appeared inside, which was exactly the shape of [Gerta].
"Success, success!" Ita said excitedly, and immediately operated the instrument to open the protective cover.
The other researchers also breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
"Lord Gerta, how do you feel? Do you need a physical examination or are you ready to take a rest first?" The assistant at the side immediately stepped forward and asked kindly.
"No, I feel very good, very good!" Gerta walked out of the instrument with a happy look on his face. He directly refused and continued to speak to the assistant's suggestion.
"Inform the Disc Council of this good news immediately, and continue to increase my investment in research. I dare say that this technology will definitely become the most important foundation for us to move towards a higher-dimensional civilization!"
Chapter 660: The God of Optics and the Transformation of the Eternal Star
"Very good, it looks like everything is going well!"
In the vast universe, on the Eternal Star, Lin En withdrew his gaze from hundreds of light years away, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
After years of planning, continuous deception, and even the risk of handing over magic power, he finally reaped the rewards!
In fact, in Lin En's opinion, the threat posed by the Geometric Civilization is actually no less than that of the Main World, and may even be much greater. After all, the opponent's sphere of influence is too large, and it rules over tens of millions of star systems. It is absolutely impossible for them to defeat such a behemoth head-on.
So Lynn knew very well that once the lies of the wizards in the parliament were exposed, they would have to face a more difficult war from which they would have nowhere to hide!
The vast resources, powerful technology and terrifying production capacity of the Geometric civilization are enough to crush them!
Lin En even believed that if the Geometric civilization went to war with the main world, it would be able to gain a considerable advantage.
In small-scale combat, the gods of the main world may be able to gain an absolute upper hand, but with the desperately vast territory of the Geometry Civilization, they can completely exchange space for time.
As long as the researchers of Geometry can successfully crack the characteristics of magic, they will be able to turn the tide of the war. This is also the biggest advantage of scientific civilization.
Of course, its flaws are equally obvious, that is, the individual strength is pitifully weak. Even after deep genetic modification, it is unable to resist the power of the magic network at the soul level.
It is for this reason that Lin En set his sights on the controllers of geometric civilizations - the disc leaders!
Start directly from the top and use the snake to swallow the elephant!
This is undoubtedly a crazy but feasible plan, because although the Geometry Civilization is a powerful civilization that has reached the sixth level and has a parliamentary system on the surface, in fact, those in power are not elected.
Judging from the information extracted from the minds of the Geometry people he killed, the moment each Geometry person was produced, it was decided whether he would be a soldier, captain, researcher or leader. Only by making enough achievements can he leap to a higher class.
In addition, the already long lifespan of the Geometry Star people further solidifies this class structure. As leaders, the disc leaders have almost absolute power in each star field.
As long as we control them, it is equivalent to controlling the entire geometric civilization!
So after learning that the Geometry Civilization wanted to achieve energy ascension and advance to a higher-dimensional civilization, Lin En took advantage of the situation and made some arrangements.
The researcher named Ita was able to improve the method of 'Energy Ascension' so easily, thanks to Lin's help, he was able to have such a high success rate.
Of course, all the Geometry Stars who relied on this method to advance were pseudo-legends. In addition, they had not received any systematic magic training, so any speaker picked out at random in the parliament could easily defeat dozens of them.
The next thing to do is to let the controlled [Gerta] publicize the benefits of becoming an energy life form and continue to optimize the experiment so that more disc leaders who are nearing the end of their lives can put their concerns aside.
This will obviously take some time to wait.
During the time when Lin En was planning how to transform the huge threat of Geometric Civilization into a help, the development of Eternal Star has also reached a new level.
The first thing was to build a real spaceport in the orbit of the planet. Ships no longer needed to be docked on the planet for maintenance. There was also a giant energy extractor orbiting the entire star, which could continuously collect the star's overflowing energy to supply the spacecraft with energy. It gradually took on the appearance of an interstellar civilization.
There is no doubt that these technologies were plagiarized from the Geometric Civilization. Now that he controls a disc leader, Lin En can package up all of the opponent's basic technologies and send them to him through [Gerta].
In addition, with the help of the impact caused by Ella's fall last time, the parliament completely cleared out the remnants of the church and the empire, and completely eliminated the believers of the Moon God from the kingdom. The basic education that had been implemented before had also been very effective, with more than one million apprentices graduating every year and joining the kingdom's construction boom.
Magic base stations are also being built in various places. The next step is to transform all staff into wizards. The resources currently available to the parliament are sufficient to accomplish this feat. Some parliamentarians even propose to directly carry out "energy ascension" like the Geometry Civilization, so that everyone will be a legend by then.
However, Lin En knew clearly that the people of the kingdom were far from being mentally prepared for this. In fact, the sudden changes in the past twenty years or so had already caused a huge psychological shock to them. It was not easy for them to accept this change in a short period of time.
Lin En had already made a plan for this, and the only solution was to make up for it with time.
After Gerta transmits the technology and obtains more element seven, Lin En will venture deeper into the quantum sea, increase the difference in the flow rate of time to more than thirty times, and then use another fifty years to complete the thorough transformation!
Just as Lin En was planning, a visitor stepped into the top floor of the tower. It was Harof!
"It seems that Speaker Aurora has completed her promotion? This is faster than I thought!" A slight smile immediately appeared on Lin En's face.
He had sensed something at this time yesterday, because there were some unusual movements in the divine nature, but he couldn't confirm it 100%.
"I just don't know what kind of priest it is?" Lin En asked curiously.
