301: You chase me, everyone is like a dragon, the machine rises

He left the Space Research Institute and returned to Fuzhou City.

Just as he reached the entrance of the Research Institute, before he even had a chance to enter, the tech bracelet on Yang Dian's wrist began to vibrate.

'What major incident has happened again?'

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian tapped open his bracelet and took out a lollipop, putting it into his mouth.

【Quantum Teleportation Technology Verified】

The twelve characters that met his eyes made Yang Dian pause.

After a moment of thought, he translated it.

The so-called quantum teleportation was quantum communication technology.

He knew that China had already achieved quantum direct communication within a hundred kilometers back in 2022.

"So, if they're making such a big fuss about bringing up old news now, it shouldn't be a simple technical Breakthrough, like extending the 100-kilometer range to 200 kilometers, right?"

As he pondered, Yang Dian raised his finger and tapped the document.

And the truth was as he had thought.

Dr. Bai, who had been quiet for a long time, had made his move.

He had personally perfected quantum entanglement communication technology.

Now, China only needed to update its equipment to achieve real-time synchronous information over super long distances.

In addition, Dr. Bai had also conveniently dealt with the nutrient pods and optimized the neural interface devices.

In short.

One only needed to lie in a nutrient pod and wear the neural interface device to control mechs located thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of miles away, or even on an Alien Planet, for combat in real-time.

"Just by sensing Qi Blood, one can apply for a mech and enter an Alien Planet to fight and explore?"

"As long as one Cultivates to the Qi Blood Smoke Realm, one can apply for a starship to embark on a grand Universe expansion?"

"Well, I'll be."

"I haven't even gotten everyone to practice martial arts yet, and you're already eyeing my martial Dao talents, wanting to use them for mechanical Ascension?"

"Superluminal warp travel hasn't been achieved, and artificial wormholes are still just a concept, so what 'grand expansion' are you talking about?"

"It's just wandering around the Solar System."

After muttering a few words, Yang Dian bit through the lollipop in his mouth and strode towards the underground Research Institute.

If others were accelerating, he couldn't afford to be idle either.

"First, I'll deal with that Mutated Octopus."

Thinking this, Yang Dian reached out and clasped the star core fragment, which had been separated from the Earth's star core, in his hand.

It was visible that, compared to before, the golden star core fragment had undergone many changes.

For example, a red flame had ignited in the bottom area of the star core fragment.

That was a speck of the purest Will Fire, condensed from the countless people of China who had meditated on the Spark day and night.

"In another 8 months, the star core fragment will be filled with Will Fire."

"At that time, I can begin to forge the territory map."

"Once the territory map is forged, the number of Mutated Cockroaches bred should also reach the hundreds of millions, enough to satisfy everyone's Cultivation of martial Dao."

"The era of everyone being like a Dragon seems not far off?"

Lost in thought, Yang Dian arrived at the deepest part of the Research Institute, outside Professor Shen Fei's laboratory.

As Jingwei opened the laboratory door, Yang Dian heard Professor Shen Fei's puzzled voice.

"Weren't you just on an Alien Planet? How did you get here so quickly?"

It was almost Chinese New Year, but Professor Shen Fei still hadn't gone home.

Or rather, he had already considered the Research Institute his home.

Since the Qi Revival, he had always spent the New Year at the Research Institute.

Every year, it was the same.

On the other side, Yang Dian, hearing Professor Shen Fei's question, couldn't help but smile.

"Professor, you know, my butterfly has mastered the power of space."

"As long as there's enough energy, going from Nanjing City to Fuzhou City is just a thought."

Professor Shen Fei sighed with emotion upon hearing this.

"But this is too outrageous."

"Most superhumans who Awaken spatial teleportation ability can only perform spatial teleportation within a hundred meters, at most a few kilometers."

"Before this, the record holder for a single spatial teleportation distance was Lin Wei from our China Tianjin Special Administration Bureau, who teleported 87 kilometers in one go."

"Even with that distance, he had to lie in bed for half a month due to excessive consumption of extraordinary energy."

"But you, not only do you casually travel back and forth between Nanjing City and Fuzhou City, but you can also open a spatial aisle to an Alien Planet, and with a wave of your hand, you open hundreds of spatial aisles in various secret bases across the country."

"The difference between people..."

"Sigh~"

Professor Shen Fei shook his head and sighed for a while, then asked again.

"Why are you here this time?"

"With your current strength, there shouldn't be anything here that would interest you, right?"

"Professor, what are you saying? Can't I just come to see you even if there's nothing wrong?"

Professor Shen Fei smiled and pointed at Yang Dian.

"I know you too well."

"Just tell me what's on your mind."

Yang Dian chuckled, then pointed at the aquarium containing the Mutated Octopus.

"I'm looking for it."

Professor Shen Fei glanced at the aquarium, then at Yang Dian, and finally his gaze fell on the Little Black Cat quietly sitting on Yang Dian's shoulder.

"Is there still something going on with that Mutated Blue-Ringed Octopus?"

Yang Dian nodded.

"Professor, the stone slab you researched from the Mutated Blue-Ringed Octopus is actually a materialized expression of a rune or mark."

"What exactly this rune or mark is, I can't say for sure, but it's a very Advanced thing."

"It was born before a life planet was destroyed, condensing the unwillingness and anger of countless lives."

"It carries some spiritual obsession marks."

"Coincidentally, the destruction of that planet seems to be related to the Cosmic Creature that invaded the Lingwen Clan Alien Planet."

"So I was wondering if the Mutated Octopus had inherited some legacy from that world, and I wanted to ask it some things."

Professor Shen Fei rubbed his temples, a bit troubled.

"This world is getting stranger and stranger."

"It used to be fine, just Qi Revival, biological Awakening and mutation, or at worst, ancient fantasies coming true, allowing for the Cultivation of extraordinary powers."

"But now?"

"Dimensional erosion, planetary expeditions, spiritual obsessions, rune marks..."

"How is it getting more and more fantastical and Xuanhuan?"

"Some of the words you're saying, I don't even understand."

"Can I even continue doing this job?"

Amidst his lament, Professor Shen Fei led Yang Dian to the aquarium and lifted the black curtain.

Then, under ample food supply, the Mutated Blue-Ringed Octopus, several times larger than when it first arrived, appeared before Yang Dian's eyes.

The moment the octopus was seen, the Little Black Cat stood up, its fur bristling on its back, and it let out a "meow meow" sound.

Yang Dian reached out to block the Little Black Cat's view, picked it up, and comforted it for a long time before it calmed down.

"Human, the cat doesn't like it."

Reaching out to stroke the Little Black Cat's head, Yang Dian comforted it.

"Human won't take it home, just ask it a few questions."

While stroking the Little Black Cat's chin, Yang Dian looked at the Blue-Ringed Octopus in the tank, whose more than 10 eyes were all fixed on him.

"When and where did you mutate?"

The Little Black Cat began to meow, then somewhat indignantly said to Yang Dian.

"Human, the bad guy says his house is too small, and one fish is very lonely, and the food he usually feeds it isn't tasty. It says it needs a house 10 times bigger, 10 female octopuses, and tasty food before it will speak..."
