Becoming an Emperor Starting from the World of The Wandering Earth

Chapter 74 The New World

The next second, the sphere seemed to be activated by some force.

Accompanied by a high-frequency buzzing sound, the sphere began to crack from the central depression, and countless fine silver threads spread outward, intertwined, and expanded like living things.

In the blink of an eye, a strange machine about one meter tall, with a complex and precise structure, made up of countless fine silver skeletons and nodes of unknown material, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The machine has a stable base with an upward-extending arc-shaped support. At the top of the support, a fist-sized, dark blue crystal slowly rotates.

Murphy looked at the machine with a complicated expression.

After a while, Murphy spoke again, "This thing is called a primary spatial rift generator."

"The function is very simple: to activate this device, it can forcibly tear through space and open a time portal, and on the other side of the portal is another world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, but no one made a sound.

They were used to Murphy always coming up with things that were beyond their wildest imaginations.

Yes, this basic spatial rift generator was the one Murphy obtained after purchasing Skynet and exchanging his remaining Faith Points for a white treasure chest.

A standard purple-tier item.

After a long silence, Wilson suddenly spoke.

"Sir, do you mean to send us over?"

"That's right."

Murphy withdrew his hand and turned to Wilson.

Don't be fooled by how well Murphy's company is doing now; it has actually reached its peak.

Firstly, the expansion of production capacity cannot be transformed into core strength. Although the company has recently acquired a large number of factories, these are all small and medium-sized.

Most of the technologies available are for civilian use.

The core technologies that can truly change the landscape, such as fusion reactors, genetic engineering, and digital life engineering, are completely beyond our reach.

Secondly, expansion is limited.

Murphy's ability to win Houston was essentially due to exploiting Texas's lack of funds and unwillingness to take responsibility.

If he continues to expand and extends his reach to other cities, it will inevitably touch his core interests.

Don't use those giant companies as a reference.

Those companies have taken over a hundred years to reach their current scale.

Murphy has only been around for less than two years, so it's already quite impressive that the company has reached this scale.

Of course, he can also use mind suggestion.

However, it is now August 2043, and there are only seven months left before the space elevator is destroyed.

Mind suggestion isn't a magic bullet, and cases like Betty and Linda's are ultimately rare.

Most of the time, only one command can be planted, and it also drains Murphy's mental energy, making it impossible to use continuously.

So Murphy needs an opportunity to break the deadlock.

And this fracture generator was the key.

"However, this is my first time using this machine. Nobody knows what the world on the other side of the door is like. It could be a wasteland, an apocalypse, or something else entirely."

"That's why I've gathered you all here today." Murphy's gaze swept over everyone present again. "So I hope you'll go to another world and see what kind of world it is."

"Sir, give the order," Wilson replied without any hesitation.

"Yes, Mr. Murphy, we are willing to do anything for you."

Murphy was not surprised by the reactions of the crowd.

Murphy took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

"First, I hope that once you arrive, you will immediately establish an outpost to assess the local environmental resources and potential threats, as well as all available conditions."

"Second, if conditions permit, after establishing an initial foothold, attempt to obtain samples and information about local resources, especially minerals, biological materials, and any possible technological creations or knowledge carriers."

"Third, and most importantly," Murphy stared into Wilson's eyes, "see if there are people in that world, what their level of technology is like. You know what I mean, Wilson."

Wilson nodded vigorously. "Understood. Gather intelligence, obtain useful information, and lay the foundation for the arrival of the main force later."

"But sir, how do we contact this side after we get there? Can this machine be turned on in both directions?"

"cannot."

Murphy shook his head. "Once the machine is activated, a corresponding beacon will form on each of you."

-

"And the next activation will take at least seven days to reopen the door to your beacon location from here. During this time, you will be completely isolated."

Yes, despite being a purple item, the basic spatial rift generator is not a gold or colored item and has many drawbacks.

Or rather, it shouldn't be called a shortcoming, but rather a technological ceiling.

Besides the limited size of the portal, another drawback is that the opening time is extremely short, and once connected to the world, it cannot be changed.

The more times the space is opened, the more it is torn apart, and the longer it can be traversed.

According to Skynet's calculations, the time portal will only last for a maximum of 10 seconds the first time it opens, 10 minutes the second time, and 1 second time...

Hours.

To achieve permanent stability, it needs to be activated at least six times consecutively.

This is because of the self-healing properties of spatial structures.

Within the framework of modern physics, space itself is defined as a four-dimensional dynamical system with a tensor field distribution.

It has the characteristics of high energy density and strong curvature variability, and even topological modifiability under certain extreme conditions. In layman's terms, space is not "empty", but a medium, a physical field that can carry gravitational waves, can be bent by mass, and can rise and fall on the quantum scale.

This leads to another problem: since space is not empty but a dynamic system, it will naturally have a self-repair mechanism.

The root of this self-repair mechanism lies in the principle of least action of spacetime itself.

General relativity states that the evolution of spacetime follows Einstein's field equations, and the solutions tend to make the spacetime curvature reach a smooth and continuous stable state.

In Bose-Einstein condensates, once a quantum vortex is formed, the system gradually dissipates the vortex energy through phonon radiation, eventually restoring the continuity of the superfluid state.

The same applies to the healing of spacetime rifts.

Although the openings that the primary crack generator can create are large enough for a human to pass through on a macroscopic scale, they are still microscopic cracks on the Planck scale.

For topological defects of this scale, the spacetime healing mechanism is almost instantaneous.

That's why Murphy didn't mobilize all the members of the Wild Wolves squadron, nor did he gather all the military forces he could muster.
