At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 154 The Space Age Arrives, Bai Yuekui's Space Warp Engine

"..." Luo Sheng's heart beat faster than usual, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his temple.

He thought that with his current lineup, he could at least be unstoppable, if not control over everything in the solar system, but he never expected this to happen.

The sudden appearance of a planet the size of Earth in the solar system is not simply a matter of adding another planet to the solar system.

All the planets and celestial bodies in the solar system are subtly connected to each other, and some even form stable orbital resonances.

If a planet were to suddenly appear, the previously stable orbital patterns of all celestial bodies in the solar system would be disrupted, and the orbits of all celestial bodies would shift.

In a milder scenario, gravitational interference between planets would cause their distances to become disordered. In a more severe scenario, a planetary collision would occur. In an even more severe scenario, the four gas giants outside the solar system would be shifted towards the solar system.

This is terrible! It could cause the entire solar system to enter a state of disordered operation.

This is just one more planet; if there were two, it would immediately throw the orbits of all the major celestial bodies in the solar system into a state of disorder.

'Could it be that the range of items dropped from other worlds has expanded to the entire solar system?' Los Saint quickly shifted his perspective to the 'Root Perspective'.

There is nothing he cannot see as long as it is within his own domain of origin.

In my mind, the scope of the root realm began to emerge clearly.

Earth, Moon, Earth-Moon system, and then the perspective shifts again, and a huge, long, serpentine region appears in my mind.

This region is the orbit of the Earth-Moon system in space.

"Hiss... So that's how it is..." Luo Sheng took a deep breath and calmed down a bit.

When the Moon was incorporated into his Root Realm, the entire Earth-Moon system underwent a qualitative change. Areas that passed through in space were all affected by the 'Root Realm,' though not at the same speed as within the Earth-Moon system.

The physical world has been shrouded in mystery, and that mystery will always exist.

In other words, the actual extent of his origin realm is now the enormous circle of the third planet's orbit.

Because of the existence of mysterious entities, the scope of the 'dimensional portal' has been expanded to this area.

In fact, many enormous things, including planets, have long existed in the dimensional channel. However, because they are too close to Earth, the vast space of Earth itself repels them, so they have never had the chance to fall out.

Now that the 'Root Realm' has expanded to accommodate large objects, the repulsion of large spaces has disappeared.

A planet with the same mass as Earth—there's no need to guess—it must be an alternate Earth, or an alternate planet similar to Earth.

Because similar worlds attract each other, and two planets that are both named Earth and have nearly identical histories will inevitably draw closer like magnets.

Because of the existence of the Root, the Earth he is on cannot be sucked in by a one-way dimensional channel. Therefore, those 'Earths' with low magic or no magic will be sucked in.

But... isn't it a bit too exaggerated to have an entire Earth from another world fall over here?
Even with his current strength, plus the power of the gods, it's unlikely he could resolve the crisis affecting the entire solar system.

"What's wrong, Luo Sheng?" Ai Lei asked anxiously when she saw Luo Sheng's expression changing. Could it be that she did something wrong?

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things." Luo Sheng calmed down and waved his hand.

Although the sudden addition of two planets to the solar system would disrupt its gravitational pull, this is not something that can happen overnight. It would take at least several years, or even more than a decade, before any significant changes would occur.

By then, his origin realm will probably have covered the entire solar system, and he will then have the ability to regulate the problems between celestial bodies.

Moreover, there are still at least ten days until the incident occurs, so there's no use in being anxious.

Now that things have come to this, let's focus on doing the things at hand well.

At that moment, the hospital corridor television was broadcasting today's news.

[CCTV News Today: It is reported that two of my country's astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and transmitted detailed information about lunar changes to the National Astronomical Observatories.]

[It has been learned that the gods have transformed the moon into a world perfectly suited for human habitation, indistinguishable from Earth, and even more beautiful in its natural environment.]

[In response, some experts have pointed out that the moon is in a completely undeveloped, pristine state, and therefore superior to Earth in every aspect.]

Most importantly, the two astronauts have made friendly contact with the lunar civilization and obtained detailed information.

The civilization on the moon is a branch of humanity from a dying alien world. They call themselves the Fontaines, and the angel Fucarus, whom we are familiar with, is the god of the Fontaine kingdom. They possess a unique technological system.

[Through our interviews with space heroes, we learned that there are more than two hands' worth of 'near-gods' in Fontainebleau possessing the Eye of God, and it is estimated that there are no fewer than one hand's worth of fifth-tier transcendents.]

They also have a political system centered on justice, law, and judgment.

[Furthermore, our country has already presented diplomatic credentials to the Kingdom of Fontaine through our space heroes, and has received a response from Fontaine's political leader, the Grand Inquisitor Navilette. Based on some indirect information, it is speculated that this Grand Inquisitor is a deity on par with the angel Fucarus.]

Based on the valuable information transmitted back by our astronauts, my country has now determined that its current space technology is sufficient for large-scale journeys between the Earth and the Moon.

The nation is currently constructing an aerial fortress suitable for lunar orbit at the fastest possible speed.

The space base will be rebuilt based on the 'Sky Fortress Lighthouse' model, and soon, travel between Earth and the Moon will become commonplace.

[my country now officially announces that human civilization has entered the 'space age'.]

"Times are changing so fast! The space age! Science fiction movies from ten years ago have become reality! Hahaha, my son is fortunate to be born at the beginning of this new era." The middle-aged man, who had a son late in life, laughed heartily: "Then let's name this kid Yuhang (Space Odyssey)."

A middle-aged man who had a child late in life took out a red envelope he had prepared and gave one to everyone he met.

"Here you two young people go, this is for you too. I wish you both a happy and healthy life with your own children soon." The middle-aged man handed red envelopes to Los Saint and Ereshkigal.

"Ah...oh, thank you." Ereshkigal was stunned for a moment and subconsciously accepted the gift; she had actually been given a red envelope by a mortal.

However, I wish I could have a child in Los Angeles soon, hehe, hehehe... Ai Lei couldn't help but cover her lips with her hands, she was so happy that she forgot herself.

"Second-tier transcendent, looks like he'll be reaching third-tier soon." Luo Sheng looked at the red envelope in his hand, which contained tea leaves, not money. This tea could cure diseases and strengthen the body for ordinary people, making it a relatively rare transcendent resource.

"Would you like to come with me to see how the space fortress that Xia Country is building is going?" Luo Sheng asked Ai Lei, whose eyes were a little dazed and who was probably still immersed in fantasies about having a baby.

"Yes, yes, I'll go wherever you go, Luo Sheng." Ai Lei quickly replied, her hands, which had been clutching his clothes, were now intertwined, her cheeks flushed.

"Love-obsessed." Luo Sheng couldn't help but mutter to himself as he watched Ai Lei fall into her daydreams again, a slight smile playing on his lips. But who wouldn't like a goddess with a love-obsessed mind?

After all, goddesses with a love-struck mind are much more interesting than those goddesses who are rational from beginning to end. Here, I want to especially criticize Buer and Fukaros. They are too rational and are completely career-oriented goddesses... Well... as a god of a kingdom, one can only be career-oriented.

Anyone who isn't career-oriented would be doomed in Teyvat.

"What did you say?" Ai Lei looked up in confusion.

"I'm just saying you're cute," Luo Sheng said casually.

Ai Lei's ears turned red.

The two disappeared in the hospital corridor in an instant, and the medical staff passing by did not notice anything unusual.

The northern headquarters of the Xia Kingdom, the Xuanwu headquarters.

Since the rise of extraordinary individuals among the general public, the pressure on the state has been reduced by more than half. Apart from the fact that most of the high-end fifth-tier extraordinary individuals are in the 'Extraordinary Legion', the majority of the middle-tier fourth-tier and third-tier extraordinary individuals are from the general public.

Therefore, the five major bases, together with all the provincial bases under their jurisdiction, redistributed the major military industries. Thus, in cooperation with the National Academy of Military Sciences, they could manufacture all kinds of equipment at the fastest speed, from large 'air fortresses' to small communication parts.

After discovering that the vast cosmic space surrounding the Earth-Moon system contains thin air sufficient for human survival, the nation's only remaining concern is to launch the 'aerial fortress' into space.

A parachute-shaped "aerial fortress" capable of holding 100,000 people floats above the Xuanwu main base. Its diameter exceeds one thousand meters, and countless flying saucer-shaped flying devices carry engineers who are assembling huge machines.

These saucer-shaped flying devices use 'wind element crystals' as their power source.

The Xia Kingdom had already developed a device for extracting 'elemental power' from nature. After being extracted, this elemental power was compressed into crystals.

Solid-state energy can be used for much longer periods than gaseous or liquid energy.

A fist-sized crystal of wind element is enough to keep a saucer-shaped flying device flying for two or three months.

"Dean Qian, according to computer simulations, the Xuanwu air fortress can now directly enter outer space without considering enclosed spaces," a researcher in a white lab coat said excitedly to an elderly man with gray hair but a straight back and wearing glasses, holding a tablet computer.

"What a feat! We have truly achieved space travel."

"This is the result of many factors. We just combined those things that appeared. It's nothing special." Qian Zhenli adjusted his glasses and looked up at the huge 'space fortress' above him.

"The power system comes from an alien spaceship that appeared in Lop Nur. The energy source is an elemental crystal core, plus a circulation device that automatically extracts and compresses elemental energy from the air."

"Any country with a complete scientific system and industry can make it."

"Furthermore, given the wonders of elemental forces, there will be no shortage of things like water, vegetables, and soil, even in the universe."

"But at present, we can only travel in the space near the Earth and the Moon. There is no elemental force or air in the space outside the Earth and the Moon."

The spaceship in Lop Nur was sent by Luo Sheng from the Ling Cage world. After Xia Guo discovered it, they have been studying it and have now fully mastered its technology.

The researcher blushed and said, "Dean Qian, even if we can only travel between the Earth and the Moon, it's still pioneering, isn't it? And who can predict the future? Maybe elemental forces will exist throughout the entire solar system in the future?"

"The power of the gods is unimaginable."

“Yes, the power of the gods is beyond human imagination.” Qian Zhenli looked up at the sky.

The moon, such a huge moon, transformed into a life-bearing planet similar to Earth in just over a month.

Furthermore, it can also bring together civilizations from other worlds.

As someone who had already become a fourth-order transcendent being, he had an intuition.

In the future, all the rocky planets, dwarf planets, and moons in the solar system will be transformed by the gods into habitable worlds.

"Dean Qian! The power system, defense system, and attack system have all been tested. Now only the ecological life support system remains," an engineer shouted as he flew down on a flying saucer.

Modern flying machines are not much different from the electric scooters of the past; even ordinary people can buy them, although they are very expensive. In addition, not everyone has this need, so there are relatively few of them circulating in the market at present.

"Let me take a look. Once we ascend into outer space, the ecological life support system will be of paramount importance. It's crucial for ensuring the livelihoods of 100,000 people." Qian Zhenli stepped onto the aircraft and flew towards the interior of the 'fortress'.

The interior of Xuanwu Fortress was bustling with activity, as people in work uniforms were working inside.

However, unlike the original 'aerial fortress', this one was not built for armed attack, but rather as a supply station to remain in space for a long time.

The top layer, shaped like an umbrella or a large pot lid, is a space farm. The farm is divided into various areas, including areas for growing vegetables and rice, and areas for raising chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.

Because of the elemental power, the crops in the planting area are growing extremely vigorously, and it is almost like a forest.

The breeding area already houses thousands of chickens and ducks, hundreds of sheep, and dozens of dairy cows. On the dome of the space farm is a device that converts water elemental forces into water resources.

A group of agricultural scientists are taking samples from various parts of the farm.

"It's normal on Earth now, with the grass element, this space farm is enough to continuously produce enough supplies to support 300,000 people."

“This space fortress could very well serve as a ‘service station’ between the Moon and Earth.”

"If we place 37 such 'service stations' between the Earth and the Moon, then the travel between the Earth and the Moon can fully support tens of millions of people traveling between the two places every day."

Los Saint and Alyssa walked along the paths of the space farm, which was essentially no different from a farm on Earth, except that the plants were all secured by wires.

The wires that hold these plants in place also carry the force of rock element, since in the absence of gravity in space, everything would drift aimlessly.

"Human imagination and action are truly remarkable, aren't they, Aileen? Even I can't help but admire them," said Los Saint.

The scientists and engineers of the Xia Kingdom built structures that were more impressive than the last.

Both Europe and the United States are still considering building large spacecraft.

The Xia Kingdom, on the other hand, directly established a complete set of shipping routes and set up 'service stations' along the way, just like 'service areas' on highways.

“Humans are beings that even the gods marvel at, which is why I like them,” Ellie nodded and said. Although she was the least popular god among humans in Mesopotamia during the Age of Gods, she herself liked humans very much because they could always create miracles that even the gods could not imagine.

Los Saint and Alyssa continued their tour of the 'space fortress'.

The second level under the fortress's canopy is the living and service area. In addition to the living quarters for the fortress's staff, this larger area contains restaurants, shops, 'gas stations', etc. However, the gas stations don't dispense fuel, but rather elemental crystals.

Future spaceships will all use elemental force, since elemental force is the only thing that can be directly extracted from the current universe.

The third level of the fortress is the spaceship docking area, and below that is the fortress's power system.

A loud broadcast rang out throughout the space fortress, clearly audible even to the Xuanwu main base.

[Notification: The Xuanwu space fortress has completed all inspections and will now undergo a test flight. If no abnormalities are found, it will ascend directly into space. All personnel are requested to proceed to the safe zone.]

"Hurry, hurry, get into the safety cabin!"

"We were among the first to enter space, and we must set a good example for those who follow."

"Great! We are pioneers! My name will be recorded in history!"

Scientists, engineers, and staff were all thrilled.

[Powertrain activated, ignition countdown begins]

【ten】

【nine】

……

【One】

【ignition!】

Whoosh—

Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the Xuanwu main base, a blue stream rose from below the space fortress, and the space fortress slowly ascended into the air, its ascent speed increasing rapidly.

The jets of flame were not fire, but wind elemental force; the entire massive fortress was carried into space by the wind.

The live broadcast of the space fortress's ignition appeared on news channels around the world, and people all over the world watched this historic moment with a variety of emotions.

Most people were excited, but some were extremely envious and jealous. Why could Xia Country build a 'space fortress' while their own country couldn't? Their Western countries had led three industrial revolutions: the first was the steam engine revolution, the second was the fuel engine revolution, and the third was the information technology revolution.

Even though China is currently the strongest country on Earth, Westerners are still proud of having ushered in three industrial revolutions.

Now, in this era of extraordinary arrivals and the appearance of gods, their last remaining arrogance has been shattered. They have to admit that Xia Kingdom has become the most advanced country in both extraordinary abilities and technology.

On the highway dozens of kilometers outside the Xuanwu base, and in the towns, countless people held binoculars and gazed into the distance, their bodies trembling with excitement.

"Wow, a space fortress! The space age! I can actually witness it!"

"Yes, I wonder when private spaceships will appear. I can already imagine myself piloting a spaceship and adventuring between the planets in the solar system."

"If space fortresses are already out, then private small spaceships should be coming soon, right?"

"The technology is already mature, and commercialization is just a natural progression."

Witnessed by countless people on Earth, the massive space fortress reached the stratosphere and is now heading towards the ionosphere.

The ionosphere is also being breached at a rapid pace, and most of the satellites of various countries are located in the ionosphere.

The space fortress broke through the ionosphere and truly entered outer space.

Having the 'wind elemental power' to escape Earth's gravity and travel into space is already a common occurrence; even fifth-tier superhumans can travel to outer space using their own power.

However, even fifth-tier superhumans still need to eat. Although they can go ten days or half a month without food or water without any problems, space travel is a bit of a pipe dream.

The people of Xia were all excitedly celebrating as they watched the 'space fortress' fly into outer space in the news broadcast.

Los Saint's lips curled up, his heart overflowing with a sense of accomplishment: "A double explosion of technology and the extraordinary! At this rate, humanity alone could spread to every corner of the solar system within a few decades."

Just then, a divine thought was transmitted to his ear through the 'World Tree'.

"My God, I have some good news for you," Bai Yuekui said in a slightly languid voice.

“Good news. I already know your spacecraft has landed on Mars without you telling me, and the coordinates of Mars have been entered into the Anywhere Door, right?” Luo Sheng said.

The World Tree connects the gods, so the gods can communicate with each other through the World Tree.

"It was guessed right away. Omniscience is really useful," Bai Yuekui couldn't help but say.

"Even without omniscience, you could probably guess it," Luo Sheng said calmly. He did possess 'omniscience,' but it was omniscience within his own domain, a 'pseudo-omniscience.'

With a thought, the surrounding space blurred, and the next moment they arrived at a golden beach. The beach was bustling with activity, and vacationers were playing games, such as beach volleyball and building sandcastles, while many others were sunbathing under parasols.

Take, for example, the seventy-year-old silver-haired girl in front of him.

Bai Yuekui was lying on a beach chair, dressed rather conservatively in beach shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and sunglasses. There was an iced lemonade on the beach stool next to him.

She was holding a tablet computer and watching a TV series. She didn't look like an intellectual female scientist at all. Instead, she looked more like a glamorous young lady who liked to eat, drink, and have fun.

"Of everyone, you're the most carefree, Bai Yuekui," Luo Sheng said speechlessly.

"It seems you've been vacationing in the Maldives for more than two weeks now."

"Everyone else is so busy they can't even get out of their chairs, do you think that's appropriate?"

Ereshkigal nodded in agreement. Since taking over the Underworld, she hadn't rested for more than two hours a day, and even Ishtar, whom she disliked, was overwhelmed with work.

Bai Yuekui took off his sunglasses and quickly said, "Hey, don't rush to criticize me. Just tell me if I've met the targets you gave me. Besides, I only went on vacation after I had mastered the 'space curvature engine technology'."

After thoroughly researching the 'teleportation anchor point', she successfully developed the 'space curvature engine technology' by studying the laws of space and combining them with the space of the physical world.

She lost countless brain cells trying to transform the 'spatial rules' into 'spatial runes', and then used the spatial runes in combination with engine technology to successfully create the 'spatial curvature engine'.

"Alright... I'll triple your quota from now on," Luo Sheng said with a smile.

It has to be said that Bai Yuekui's mind is now much sharper than when he first arrived; it's improved by at least a thousand times.

For a god to get involved in technology is like a game-changer; his mind is a hundred times more terrifying than all the world's supercomputers combined.

For scientists, mystery? Extraordinary? Divine? That's still science, okay? It's just unknown science. Once I've thoroughly researched it, it becomes known science.

“My God, I find you treating us like cattle and horses. Even cattle and horses need to rest,” Bai Yuekui said hurriedly.

Since he no longer had any worries or pressure to survive, Bai Yuekui has returned to his original personality, becoming a bit of a goofball.

"Are you a cow or a horse?" Luo Sheng asked, his eyes half-closed.

“I can be,” Bai Yuekui said seriously, pursing his lips. If I said no, there would definitely be a follow-up story. No child would fall for that.

"What level has the warp drive reached? Can it visit all the planets in the solar system within a month?" Los Saint asked in quick succession.

When it came to professional knowledge, Bai Yuekui became serious: "I've tried the warp drive. Outside the universe where elemental forces shroud it, the warp drive can reach 0.1% of the speed of light, which is one-thousandth of the speed of light."

"From Earth, it would only take 35 hours, or one day and eleven hours, to reach Neptune, the farthest planet in the solar system."

"It takes an average of sixteen minutes to get from Earth to Mars, thirty-four minutes to Jupiter, and a little over an hour to Saturn."

"Of course, this is just the fastest speed I've calculated for transporting the Anywhere Door key. If the warp drive is mounted on the spaceship, it will be far slower, at least 90% slower."

"This can only be considered a pseudo-warp engine," Los Saint said regretfully, arms crossed. A true warp engine is faster than light.

"..." Bai Yuekui rolled his eyes upon hearing this. Look at how supernatural power is compressed in the purely physical world. It's already a miracle that we can make a warp drive using 'spatial runes'.

Oh... you're the most important person in the world, then it's alright.

"But that's enough, hehe." Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile slightly.

I was initially worried that having two more planets in the solar system would cause chaos, but now I'm not worried at all.

If we disregard satellites, he could bring most of the planets into the Roots' domain within ten days. However, gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are too large, so their infection of the mystical side will be slower.

But overall, it's completely under my control.

Once all the planets in the solar system are incorporated into its territory, even if there are a hundred more planets in the solar system, the stability of the solar system can still be guaranteed.

With a casual wave of his hand, Los Saint brought the Anywhere Door from the Sahara Desert base to life in front of him.

"Let's go check out Mars."
