125: Chapter 125 Stepping into the Stars
Lin Sheng looked through these evolved talents one by one.
First was "High-Dimensional Vision."
Lin Sheng looked ahead, silently thinking that he wanted to see the scene behind him.
In Lin Sheng's perspective, the three-dimensional space around him was divided into countless pieces.
These countless pieces of 3D space rearranged and combined in his eyes; finally, the place Lin Sheng wanted to see was arranged right before him.
This was the feeling of looking down from a high dimension to a lower one, a marvelous visual experience.
Lin Sheng clearly knew that space was behind him.
But in his eyes, that space truly appeared in front of him.
Lin Sheng looked around, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.
Around him permeated several information streams hidden within the fourth dimension.
If Lin Sheng didn't have "High-Dimensional Vision," he probably wouldn't have discovered these information streams in his lifetime.
"Monitoring equipment of the Source of Information."
The fourth dimension is the easiest dimension from which to observe the 3D Great Universe; because of this, Marshal Chang Xin placed the monitoring equipment in the fourth dimension.
This set of equipment wasn't very useful, only able to monitor some of Lin Sheng's basic information, so Lin Sheng didn't destroy it to avoid alerting the enemy.
He withdrew his attention from that monitoring equipment and then looked at the other talents on the Data Panel.
Lin Sheng could basically skim through the other talents because they were just strengthened versions based on the original "Natural Grade."
But the "Superconductivity" talent required Lin Sheng's focused analysis.
Because in the description of the "Superconductivity" talent, the system gave a prompt.
"Can teleport using Electromagnetic Force."
Lin Sheng tried to use "Omniscience" to analyze how to use the teleportation.
"Using Electromagnetic Force to excite the electrons throughout the body allows for short-distance teleportation."
"What is the approximate limit of the teleportation distance?"
Lin Sheng thought silently.
"About one-tenth of a light-year."
"Are there any restrictions?"
"When the regional magnetic field strength exceeds the limit at which your own electromagnetic field can remain stable."
Lin Sheng was relieved.
For him, this teleportation was almost unrestricted.
He immediately mobilized the Electromagnetic Force he controlled, excited his own electrons, and tried to teleport.
"Whoosh."
The next second, his body disappeared instantly from the spot.
In the lonely starry sky, Lin Sheng's figure emerged.
The location of the Eighteen Stars was a cosmic void artificially created by Marshal Chang Xin; even though Lin Sheng had already left the Eighteen Stars by a distance of one-tenth of a light-year, there were still no celestial bodies around him.
Looking around, a sense of loneliness hit him; Lin Sheng used teleportation again and returned to the Eighteen Stars.
After trying a few times, he was already able to use this electromagnetic teleportation method skillfully.
And from this moment on, Lin Sheng had reached the ranks of a Level 3 civilization as an individual.
Lin Sheng looked up at the sky.
Next, it was time to step into the universe.
...
There was nothing left on the Eighteen Stars that Lin Sheng needed.
He devoured some black stones from South Pole Mountain, accumulated 1,500 trillion evolution points, and then left the Eighteen Stars.
Lin Sheng had realized before that devouring mineral energy was far slower than making a "fortune from war."
Even with the technological level of the Origin Star People, the energy contained in a warship of the same volume was higher than that of black stones of the same volume.
Therefore, after replenishing some evolution points, Lin Sheng resolutely left the Eighteen Stars and embarked on an interstellar journey.
...
The ancestral land of the Origin Star People.
Lin Sheng originally wanted to cross the void where the Eighteen Stars were located directly, but his subconscious made him take the Warp Tunnel of the Eighteen Stars.
Although a two-dimensional foil had been dropped there and going there might be dangerous, Lin Sheng believed in "Omniscience."
Since "Omniscience" said it was passable, then it must be passable.
Sure enough, after Lin Sheng crossed the Warp Tunnel, what appeared before him was the normal 3D Great Universe.
However, compared to last time, this area had now become a small void.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue.
Although he didn't know why the two-dimensional foil had disappeared, Lin Sheng guessed that perhaps some passing High-Level Civilization had intervened.
This void was very small, and Lin Sheng left it with a single electromagnetic teleportation.
He appeared in a space with few celestial bodies.
Standing in this starry sky, Lin Sheng felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.
This was his first time crossing such a long distance and stepping into the cosmic starry sky without any pressure.
He temporarily set aside the idea of looking for the remnants of the Origin Star People, intending to take a good look at this universe first.
The universe is vast; even if Lin Sheng could teleport at one-tenth of a light-year per second, or even faster, on a cosmic scale, this speed was still not considered fast.
After hundreds of teleportations, Lin Sheng's figure appeared on a celestial body composed of metal.
This celestial body wasn't large, with a radius of only about 5,000 kilometers, smaller than Earth.
At a distance of about one astronomical unit from this celestial body, there were many planets of various sizes.
While teleporting, Lin Sheng suddenly thought of a weapon from The Three-Body Problem.
The prerequisite for using that weapon is that a civilization can accelerate a photoid to infinitely close to the speed of light.
Although it was difficult for Lin Sheng to accelerate a photoid to that extent, theoretically, he could accelerate himself to the speed of light.
However, due to the restrictions of the cosmic rules, objects with mass cannot be accelerated to the speed of light, so this was only theoretical.
Of course, even if Lin Sheng could accelerate himself to the speed of light, he wouldn't do so.
The risk was too great; one mistake and his physical body could very likely collapse at the molecular level.
However, while Lin Sheng wouldn't use his entire body to try, he could use parts of his body to try.
After the "Nuclear Thruster" evolved into the "Overclocking" state, various parts of Lin Sheng's body could spray out nuclear energy.
Lin Sheng only needed to use "Mechanical Scourge" to create a projectile and use himself as the projectile's launch pad, finally aided by Electromagnetic Force for acceleration.
In this way, accelerating this projectile to infinitely close to the speed of light should be achievable.
Lin Sheng decided to put it into practice.
He dug out a large piece of unknown metal and put it into his mouth.
"Mechanical Scourge" activated at this moment, beginning to transform the metal.
A few minutes later, a shell composed of flesh and metal was added to Lin Sheng's weapon system.
This shell was only three meters long, and except for the energy storage chamber, it was entirely a semi-metallic creation.
Lin Sheng only needed to accelerate this shell to infinitely close to the speed of light, and it could maintain this speed in the universe until it stopped due to a collision causing its kinetic energy to be exhausted.
Lin Sheng adjusted his position, aiming his mouth at those planets an astronomical unit away.
After accurate calculations, a missile with a flesh-and-blood base emerged from his throat.
The three-meter length seemed insignificant on Lin Sheng's body, but in the next second, a blinding light illuminated his entire throat.
A powerful electromagnetic field surrounded Lin Sheng's mouth, which could serve to accelerate the missile.
Under the double acceleration, the missile left Lin Sheng's body and entered space in an instant.
The missile reached the speed Lin Sheng had envisioned, infinitely close to the speed of light.
Once the missile reached the expected speed, the flesh at the tail of the missile detached.
At this moment, the missile was completely a lump of iron in the shape of a missile.
However, the mass of this iron lump was somewhat large.
Nearly infinite.
As it flew, Lin Sheng could vaguely feel a phenomenon of space distortion.
Hundreds of seconds later, the missile reached the location of the planets.
Through "High-Dimensional Perspective," Lin Sheng focused his attention, waiting for the scene that was about to appear.
Carrying extreme heat and kinetic energy, the missile easily shattered that planet, which was about the size of the Moon, and its destructive power didn't diminish at all as it crashed directly into the planets behind it.
One.
Two.
...
Four.
When the missile shattered the fourth planet, the kinetic energy it carried still didn't diminish in the slightest.
However, what it was about to face next was no longer a planet.
Behind these planets was a massive star.
