328: Chapter 329 A twenty-kilometer-deep pit shrunk into a single bead

Two days later.

Area S-17.

The scene here remained desolate and eerie.

The massive hemispherical pit that Lin Qi had dug out with an entrenching tool remained on the wasteland.

It displayed a kind of absolute violence in an unreasonable way.

The area around the deep pit had long been sealed off layer by layer by the elite troops of the Federal Military.

The blockade extended for a hundred miles in every direction.

The military had even brought in the most Advanced "Space Stabilization Detector."

Hundreds of top experts surrounded the pit, wearing white protective suits.

Everyone's complexion looked poor, their foreheads covered in sweat.

Half an hour ago, they had gathered all the Materials on Lin Qi's list.

To obtain these items, the Federation had tapped into three strategic reserves.

Two top-tier divers had even sacrificed their lives while collecting deep-sea sub-space jellyfish.

Zhao Shouzhen personally led the team to the site.

He looked at the "Dao Pattern Talisman" floating in mid-air.

It was a point of light condensed from Lin Qi's fingertips, restrained within a container by a specialized energy field.

An officer reported in a low voice.

"General Luo Zhenbang is already in place in the monitoring room."

"All members of the Global Supreme Council are watching the live broadcast."

Zhao Shouzhen nodded and looked at the scientists responsible for operating the instruments.

"Can we begin?"

The chief physicist took a breath, his hands trembling.

"Dean Zhao, this involves compressing space with a diameter of twenty kilometers."

"Theoretically, this will cause localized space collapse, triggering a destructive shockwave with a radius of five hundred kilometers..."

"There is no theory."

Zhao Shouzhen interrupted him coldly.

"Since that person gave us the Talismanic Incantation, it means he has calculated everything."

"Start. If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility."

The scientist said no more, trembling as he pressed the activation button on the console.

Hum.

The container opened.

The glowing Dao Pattern Talisman rose into the air, as if responding to a summons.

It made no loud noise, but as it unfurled, it caused the surrounding air to be pulled.

The initially calm sky began to distort.

The Dao Pattern Talisman began to rotate, transforming into a golden ring with a diameter of three meters.

At the center of the ring, a powerful gravitational field erupted.

The deep pit.

That massive, bottomless hemisphere suddenly began to tremble at the touch of the Talismanic Incantation's power.

This was not the heavy movement of tectonic plates, but a folding of substance itself.

"Look! That is..."

The watching officers and scientists exclaimed.

They saw the originally solid soil and rock layers begin to soften under the shroud of golden light.

They were no longer rock, but more like malleable clay.

The edges of the twenty-kilometer deep pit began to shrink toward the center.

Rumble!

The ground collapsed, and all the surrounding mountains and rubble converged toward the center of the pit.

But this movement did not destroy the surrounding defenses.

Wherever the Talismanic Incantation passed, space formed a thin film of golden Law, locking in all the impact.

"What Rank of mechanical structure is this?"

"No, this isn't mechanics; it's spatial reconstruction!"

"He is using space as a canvas!"

The scientists held their instruments, their emotions stirred.

The data on the screens had long exceeded the measuring range; it was a new physical Law they had never encountered before.

In this near-miraculous scene, the massive volume of earth converged, underwent Fusion, and collapsed in mid-air.

The huge deep pit that had left the Federation helpless was kneaded into a regular sphere in just three minutes.

The sphere continued to shrink.

Twenty kilometers, ten kilometers, one kilometer, one hundred meters...

When the last streak of golden light merged into it, the deep pit vanished.

All that remained in its place was a smooth, mirror-like flat ground, as if nothing had ever happened.

Suspended in mid-air was a sphere the size of a basketball.

It was crystalline throughout, with starlight and magnetic fields flowing within.

The sphere floated quietly, yet it contained a heart-stopping power.

The entire site was silent.

Everyone had their mouths agape, unable to speak.

In the Eagle-7 Conference Room, the big shots who were used to seeing storms were collectively speechless at this moment.

General Luo Zhenbang stood up from his seat, his hands bracing the table, his chair making a harsh grating sound.

He stared at the crystal on the screen, his eyes full of gravity.

This was Lin Qi's method.

He had not only solved the Federation's most troublesome logistics problem but also demonstrated a power that crushed modern technology.

This was a dimensionality reduction strike at the level of Law.

A trembling voice came from Zhao Shouzhen over the communication channel.

"Reporting to General Luo Zhenbang, mission accomplished."

"We... have brought back a monster."

General Luo Zhenbang came to his senses and glanced at the staff officers around him, who were also speechless.

His voice was hoarse.

"Bring it back."

"Escort it with the highest specifications, with the highest level of encryption."

"Even if we have to mobilize half of the Federation's defense forces, ensure that it arrives in Tianhai City without a single error."

"Yes!"

With the order issued, the entire Federation sprang into action.

This day was the day of the Federation's cognitive collapse.

Just when they thought they had grasped the truth of the world, a teenager taught them a profound lesson with a compressed deep pit.

In Tianhai City, at the D-3 Region laboratory.

Lin Qi watched the remote live broadcast, nodding with satisfaction.

He had realized a new Talismanic Incantation from the System interface and tossed it to Instructor Su Qing.

"Pass a word to Fatty; tell him to prepare."

"Prepare for what?"

Instructor Su Qing asked curiously, taking the Talismanic Incantation.

Lin Qi smiled, his smile carrying his usual cunning.

"Naturally, to prepare to receive his ten-million-ton 'collection'."

"Once this sphere is dropped down, it will serve as the perfect foundation for our fortress."

"When the time comes, let the entire Federation know what it truly means to be 'as stable as Mount Tai'."

Instructor Su Qing looked at the Talismanic Incantation in her hand, then at the "Spatial Crystal" that the Federation had exhausted its resources to obtain.

She suddenly felt that in front of Lin Qi, wealth, power, and even science were all just a joke.

He was the only one pulling the strings.

"Understood, Boss."

Instructor Su Qing turned and walked toward the confinement room.

The Federation had just sent back Zhang Wei, who had not yet fully recovered, through a secret channel.

Zhang Wei's face was pale, his eyes still lingering with the shadows of high-altitude training.

But the moment he saw Instructor Su Qing, he immediately straightened his back and asked with a trembling voice.

"Sister Su... does Brother Qi have any other instructions?"

"As long as it's not skydiving, I'll do anything!"

Instructor Su Qing gave him a faint look.

"Brother Qi has sent you a big gift."

"From today on, you are responsible for receiving the most expensive 'trash' in the world, and you must stack it neatly for me."

"Trash?"

Zhang Wei was stunned.

"That's right, an entire deep pit's worth of 'trash'."

Instructor Su Qing did not explain further and pushed open the door.

Outside the window, a massive transport plane was landing.

The basketball-sized crystal hanging beneath its belly refracted dazzling light in the setting sun.

This seemed to announce the arrival of a new era.

Lin Qi stood with his hands behind his back on the roof of the laboratory building, watching the crystal approach, his expression calm.

"The pollution of Law is merely an asymmetry of energy."

"And now, I have turned this asymmetrical energy into a brick of my own."
