Chapter 367 The passage of time and Azshara who broke through the barrier

In Rune Calendar 430, the first batch of five ships set out to explore the fortress, and two more batches left in the following ten years;

In Rune Calendar 442, Bi Linyi explored the fortress and arrived at the target star field, and launched corresponding scientific research activities;

Then by Rune Calendar year 450, all the first batch of fortresses except the Black Hole Exploration Ship had arrived at their destination;

In the past 20 years, new breakthroughs have been made in technologies such as the miniaturization of fusion reactors. The study of degenerate matter in neutron stars has also taken steps during this period. The project establishment and development of space jump technology also took place in

Within this interval;

By the year 472 of the Rune Calendar, after 30 years of exploration and verification, space jump technology finally made breakthrough progress and was successively installed on the Fortress-class spacecraft starting with the Black Hole Discovery;

Also starting from this year, the Republic's external exploration process was greatly accelerated, and as the number of observation objects continued to increase, more knowledge was gained, and iterative updates at the application level also advanced by leaps and bounds through constant feedback.

And Nesta's many clones embarked on their own long journeys before this "rapid advancement" began.

~~~~~~~~

Leisurely, the calendar was turned to the rune calendar year 485;

On a certain day this year, Azshara finally completed her promotion, becoming the second individual to reach the molecular level, and reshaped her body in a short time according to the latest genetic template;

However, since promotion is not directly linked to growth in body size, she will then have to enter the material filling stage;

However, since this process does not require deep meditation, she is still able to separate many bodies and walk in the outside world.

After leaving the retreat training cabin, Azshara took back her 'mentally retarded' thread, carefully sorted out what had happened over the years, and also checked the operation of the brain and the state of the Republic in various places, and in

After finding out that there was nothing serious, he immediately started looking for his partner.

There were too many Nestas displayed in her brain, so Azshara picked out an area with the most concentrated mass and relatively active activity, and then ran over in a "menacing" manner.

She came to a laboratory located in the central moon. Three Nestas were performing some kind of operation here. Two of them were standing beside the stage, and one was lying on the experimental stage. It was obvious that

They are each playing the roles of researcher and researched.

Azshara actually dislikes this aspect of her partner. In the past, she often complained that he always took her body lightly. Even though their bodies are now far away from the traditional concept, they still feel a little unbearable.

road,

"Has the evil claws reached out to you again?"

With a lukewarm expression on her face, she approached and looked curiously at her husband lying on the experimental table, wanting to see what kind of experiments he was trying.

Upon entering, Nesta, who was lying on the experimental table, had a large hole opened in his chest and abdomen. The inside was almost made of a composite material of metal and flesh, and was filled with inscriptions everywhere;

They form a circuit that connects every inch of the body inside and outside, forming a series of deformable pathways with different thicknesses that connect to the mouth and nose, and connect to various parts of the body below. They also show the appearance of pores on the body surface that have never existed in the past.

At this time, the one on the stage was carefully carving out the main part of the inscription, while the other two seemed to be completing the many auxiliary circuits along the line;

During the operation, the fingers melt into liquid and flow around the body, and complex patterns will appear without passing an inch of the area. These are undoubtedly the fine inscription structures from molecules to cells.

Even without careful identification, Azshara could clearly see what they represented at a glance, which was the fission furnace and the corresponding energy transfer module.

So she looked to both sides with some confusion and asked the other two husbands who were acting as researchers,

"What are you doing? Why are you stuffing the body into it?"

The description of "stuffing it in" is actually a bit inappropriate, because the raw material is Nesta's own body.

"Um, researching super elf transformation?"

The Nestas had discovered that Azshara was in reality, and Nesta, who was lying on the stage, answered uncertainly, and then added a question in a treacherous manner,

"Did you break through? Did you take back my stupid daughter?"

What he was referring to was naturally the thread of thought that Azshara separated during the retreat stage. This title was derived from the special mental and behavioral state that it had maintained for many years.

"Huh, you've been bullying me for several years, aren't you satisfied?"

"Haha, how could that be? It's just a pity to see you become smarter again."

"annoying guy"

Although most of the thinking was in a state of deep meditation before, the part that is combined with the brain and the part that makes up the projection is also her own. She was not absent from all the things in the process, and there was no need to ask specifically, so Ai

Sarah did not continue the topic

Looking at the ongoing experiment, she thoughtfully guessed,

"Is this to increase the instantaneous energy output?"

"Yes, you are smart enough to understand~" one of the experimenters flattered, "The decay energy supply rate is a bit too low, so I want to build an instantaneous burst system. The original consideration was to build micro-structures in the cell structure

Fission reactor, but the difficulty was still a bit too great, and it ended up being the size of an organ like this."

"Instant? Explosion? Tsk tsk. Obviously I haven't really fought a few times in so many years. Most of them are still fighting to catch the Beast King's combined battle. Why are you always thinking about it in this direction?"

"That can't extinguish my desire to become a warrior~" Nesta, who was experimented, said dissatisfiedly, "I transformed with a roar, and then turned into the righteous Supa Elf 1 form. Isn't it not passionate?

"

"I'm quite excited when I think about it~" Experimenter Nesta also said with admiration.

"Supa Elf 1? This is all messed up. A righteous warrior. An evil pervert warrior is almost the same, so why is it 1? Is there another 234?"

"There should be, right?" Nesta, who was being experimented, said uncertainly.

"The idea has not been finalized yet. The weakness of this '1' form is too obvious now." Experimenter Nesta gestured to the ongoing operation and continued, "Although it is impossible to die if this place is destroyed, but Gao Gao

However, it is impossible to maintain a capable state, and you have to spend time to reshape it."

Opposite him, another Nesta added,

"But once you become proficient, you don't need to do this step in the laboratory. You can use it as you like and you're done. Let me get up and try the effect first;"

The 'I' in his mouth stood up from the experimental table, and after putting away control of the healing ability, in just the blink of an eye, no difference could be seen on the surface.

"Azshara, please exit first. This is still somewhat dangerous."

"Okay, then be careful yourself."

Nodding, Azshara followed the other two husbands to the next door and checked the subsequent situation through a layer of highly resistant transparent wall.

And when they went out, after a series of processes such as refining, condensation, and injection in the body, the experimented Nesta began to operate the fission reactor in the body.

"Supa Elf Transformation!!!"

In Azshara's rather shameful face-palming action, and after he let out a meaningless roar, violent air waves and lightning flashed out from the center of his body, and even his hair was in clusters.

Stand high.

"Did it succeed?"

Although she didn't want to admit it, Azshara thought her partner was quite handsome in this state, and asked her husband next to her.

"Forehead"

Before the other Nesta could reply, some changes occurred in the situation in the laboratory. The body of that Nesta was continuously bulging and contracting with its chest and abdomen as the center, and then there was a sound during a certain bulging.

The flames of light were heard accompanied by a loud noise;

The flames and vibrations came so violently that even the super laboratory in the central moon could not completely block them. A little momentum was still transmitted out, and turned into vibrations and explosions in Azshara's perception;

And at the same time, you can also see a swarm of purple mud, some of which are densely hitting the transparent wall in front of you.

"Well, I seemed a little impulsive at the end."

Under the frowning gaze of his partner, the experimenter Nesta was a little depressed and said indifferently, but the former obviously didn't want to pay attention to him.

Azshara stood up and immediately headed back to the laboratory next door.

Walking into the controlled opening door, there was immediately hot smoke that wanted to rush out from the passage, but it couldn't help but shrink inward under the action of some kind of suction, and the rest of the smoke and fire were also moving towards the center.

They gather everywhere, as if there is a powerful vacuum cleaner there.

When the light flame dust gradually gathered towards the center, and then quickly disappeared somewhere, Nesta's strong outline about 5 meters high was revealed in the diffuse red and black color;

His chest and abdomen were getting bigger and bigger as he continued to swell. Three dragon-like thick black and red pillars poured in from the direction of his mouth and nose, and countless thin pillars of the same color were also absorbed from the opening and closing holes around him.

;

Just a moment later, the laboratory returned to a spotless state again, and Nesta's bulging chest and abdomen also began to shrink little by little at this time, and quickly returned to the normal level that should be expected of her current body shape.

"Haha, I'm a little careless~"

Turning around, Nesta in the middle said, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, and as he spoke, a few wisps of thin white smoke vaguely emerged from his mouth and nose.

Azshara approached with a cold face, and lowered her head to look down at her partner, who was obviously shorter than before. The obvious anger flickered in her eyes, but it only lasted for a moment and then disappeared, leaving only dissatisfaction and worry.

, still entangled with each other in their eyes.

"How much was lost?"

"Not much~"

"How much is not more?"

"Eh, probably more than a hundred tons? But I inhaled all those fireworks, so it can be considered a little tonic."

"Tsk" looked at his partner who had obviously lost more than a hundred tons of body, and then looked at the incomplete experimental equipment, Azshara shook her head helplessly and said,

"Is that a fission explosion? Didn't you build an energy reactor in your body? How could it explode?"

"Well, I just wanted to try some atomic breath and stuff, so I temporarily condensed it a little bit."

"Are you stupid?" Azshara pointed her index finger at Nesta's forehead and cursed rather sadly.

Then, as if she remembered something, she separated part of the thread, connected it to the back of her brain, and checked the 'Nesta Volume Growth Log', and saw the detailed record information on it.

It was okay not to look at it, but once she looked at it, she suddenly felt angry.

The data shown in the log is '1.70 meters·2.3 million tons', but the inventory shown in the brain is less than '1.7 million tons', so where did the remaining 500,000 tons go? Could it be that they are all doing some inexplicable experiments?

Lost everything?

"How many messy experiments have you done?! Where is your body? Where did my 600,000-ton husband go!? Haven't you ever thought about what to do if there is a hidden danger?"

Seeing that she seemed to be about to explode, the three Nestas quickly stopped her anger and explained,

"No, no, how could you do an experiment and throw out 600,000 tons? Everything will be fine~"

"Yes, yes, everything is fine. It's just that some parts are not within the scope of monitoring."

"Yeah, that's it~"

After hearing this, Azshara's expression softened slightly, but she still asked with residual anger and suspicion,

"Really? Then where are they? How could there be a place that the brain cannot track?"

"Um," one of the Nestas replied with an awkward smile, "They are almost all outside the exploration area, but now they are starting to go back because things have gone a little out of the plan."

Azshara, who quit deep meditation, was very smart. Her partner's few words and some of the technological changes that had occurred over the years made her immediately understand the twists and turns involved;

Then her anger subsided and her smile grew, and she said with great gloating,

"You are so stupid and reckless, haha!"

"Didn't I not expect this? Who knew that after breaking through the 'can and can't', technology can progress so fast." Another Nesta said helplessly, "Well, it was my own breakthrough.

Unexpectedly slow.”

"Humph, the original intention was too outrageous, like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder;"

Shaking her head, Azshara said with some disapproval,

"So what if you just randomly find an asteroid and try it? Can you really eat up all the country's resources on your own?"

~~~~~~~~

Nesta participated in the entire early development process of the warp engine, but to be honest, he was not the main force in promoting this technology. Those high-level spellcasters who successively arrived in the star fields were the important ones that promoted the birth of this technology.

Hero.

This was certainly not something to regret, so after witnessing and mastering this technology, he began to implement the plan he had prepared before.

That is, go a little further and plant your clone in a suitable location.

But as time has changed, the emergence of jump technology has made the original small distance no longer suitable, so he plans to fly farther and complete the planting.

Without the need for body growth, elves in the new era do not need to rely on food, water and breathing to maintain vitality. They can maintain uncompromised mobility by relying solely on the decay of superheavy elements in their bodies.

As the only mature individual at the genetic level, Nesta naturally possesses such traits, as do all his clones.

Therefore, the aircraft produced can be said to be quite simple. They almost only have equipment related to virtual communication, temperature maintenance, engines, and energy and power. Except for elves, perhaps no one can imagine that they can be used for space navigation.

All in all, at the end of Rune Calendar 472, that is, the year when the warp engine technology was first born, there were a total of more than a dozen Nesta clones located in different star fields or on routes, riding such a batch of simple

The aircraft embarked on its journey.

He does not know how high his material transformation speed will be when he is promoted to the atomic level, nor does he know how many star fields can meet the accumulation needs of the Republic, nor does he know how fast the breakthrough speed of related technologies will be;

That's why he took this journey that was equivalent to exploring the road, preparing to find a suitable area for him to display his appetite after he was promoted in the future. Maybe it was a bit of a fuss, but with the desire to explore in his heart, he set off anyway.

Unexpectedly, a series of related contents such as internal observation data and derived knowledge, composite engine manufacturing technology, and production line design and manufacturing are all being communicated in real time across spaces through the virtual realm, and in

After crossing the boundary of 'what is possible and what is not possible', as the elves' footprints spread, breakthroughs were formed one after another at a speed far beyond imagination, seemingly without end;

As a result, the measure of distance and obstacles has become completely different from the past in just a dozen years. The application of new technologies has greatly expanded the scope of the Republic's resource acquisition.

At this time, the warp engine had increased from the early 6x speed to 8x speed, then to 12x speed, and finally reached 15x speed. During this period, the original speed achieved by its variable frequency traction function also jumped to

0.85 times the level of light;

After combining the two, the space navigation capability under the new conditions has reached a level of 12.75 times that of light.

What is known is that although this sub-star cluster, this main star cluster, and this main star cluster group are located at the remote edge of the entire river system where the density of matter is extremely low;

But even the smallest unit among them, the "this sub-star cluster", is a cosmic structure with more than 1,600 stars, and its widest point is only about 50 light-years;

According to the current navigation capabilities, even if we really travel the 50 light years, it will only take 4 years for one way and about 8 years for the round trip;

What's more, the location of the parent star is not in an extreme edge area. If we only consider navigation within the star cluster, it is rare that we need to travel 50 light-years one way.

So when the time comes to 485 years, although in the cycle of exploration of reaching the target, using materials to build a fortress, and then heading to the next area, the speed of advancement is not exactly the same as the speed of navigation;

But it is only a matter of time before we can spread our footsteps here. Even crossing the gap between star clusters to go to the side areas is not impossible;

Moreover, even if we only count from the rune calendar year 472 when the warp engine was first born, there is still a full 13 years of development and accumulation;

Therefore, the journey of the Nesta clones seemed to be somewhat anticlimactic, and the original intention was no longer necessary;

Even if he really breaks through the atomic level now, there will no longer be a resource problem. It is better to gather the clones to regain the maximum observation ability, especially after Azshara breaks through, there is no longer any chance to join forces to enter the inner perspective.

It seems obvious at the moment which obstacle is more serious than the other.

~~~~~~~~

"Humph, you are always so reckless."

Azshara groaned with some dissatisfaction and said,

"I'm still thinking about trying to merge with you after I break through to see if I can observe from the inside like before. How can I try it now?"

"Well, this is indeed an oversight on my part. It's easy to say in other directions. Anyway, you can always come back faster or slower, but the black hole exploration ship flew 30 light-years in the first 42 years and moved forward again in the next 13 years.

85 light years;”

Nesta said with some regret,

"It's a pity that my clone is going back now. Why don't we wait? Maybe there will be a breakthrough."
