Perpetual motion machine.

Obviously, the Huaiguang Church also knows this - after all, their prototypes are the twins who were born when the sky fell. Even with the retrospective vision, they can know all the details of that time.

Not to mention, Huaiguang and Longdao also have a cooperative relationship. Since the real dragon can tell Ian about the existence of the perpetual motion machine, he will definitely tell Huaiguang.

But in turn, as a local aborigine, Huaiguang may have more details about perpetual motion machines.

"What's going on with the perpetual motion machine?"

Ian stopped moving downwards, frowned, and said loudly to the crowd: "Cradle, cradle... I know that the huge barrier surrounding our star field is the cradle - the prison star prison and the cradle are one. It's just that the cradle should have the possibility of 'leaving', and a closed shelter should also have the ability to be opened from the inside in the future."

"But the Star Prison means that this door can only be opened from the outside, whether it is violence or a friendly release... Even if you are talking about a cradle, can we really get out?"

【have no idea】

Huaiguang's answer was very simple: [Perhaps according to your statement, this is indeed the Star Prison. Because of the crash of the Star God's spaceship, none of us got the last message from the Star God, so we don't know how to open the Cradle Door. Method - but this is actually not important, because you must also know that since the Creator wants to protect us, it means that the outer universe is definitely extremely dangerous and extremely unfriendly to us beings]

[Whether it is a natural disaster or a powerful enemy, that is not what we need to think about now. I also know a little about the 'disaster' sealed in Dragon Island. In the future, I may also create a powerful incarnation to guard the seal as a Dragon King candidate. But compared to caring about the disaster that will destroy everything once it escapes, we should not Think about how we should survive if we can survive in peace]

The logic of Huaiguang is actually very simple - they roughly know the existence of the Final Fragment, but there is no point in thinking about whether this thing is out of control or not.

If it gets out of control, everyone will die together. If it doesn't get out of control, we can just live as usual. There's nothing to think about. In this case, it is better to carefully deduce the future path.

Perpetual motion is Huaiguang's goal and the core of the Cradle Project.

[In Terra today, the reason why demons are dancing wildly, there are many natural disasters, and even the alien demon gods frequently resurrect is because this place has not become a cradle, but only a foundation]

The voices of the large group of Huaiguang echoed in the Final Dogma Area. Their tones were steady, with a sacred meaning. Even the surrounding biomass structures like algae leaves shook slightly, curling up like worshipers: [Since it is the foundation, then It means that the things created by the Creator are far larger than Terra... Just imagine, Ian, since the Creator can create a cradle shell that covers the entire star field, why should such a huge space be left inside the cradle? '? 】

"Why……"

Ian murmured to himself, he was also thinking deeply at this moment.

It is indeed incredible that the Star God made the Star Prison so huge, with a radius of five light years. You know, if it were placed on the earth, this means that even the Proxima Galaxy is included.

Thinking that the Star God can use space-time condensed matter materials to build a cradle, Ian's heart couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the Star God actually wants to create giant space-time structures in the Hell... inside the cradle?"

[This is the idea] Huaiguang said lightly: [But Ian, you are not such a timid person]

[Think of a perpetual motion machine, its endless source of energy...]

Ian is not timid.

He also fully understood the incredible nature of perpetual motion.

However, the conjecture in his mind was so crazy that Ian himself found it unbelievable: "It can't be... the Star God wants to use the infinite energy of the perpetual motion machine to convert mass and energy into new planets for all species to live in. , to create a large amount of matter out of thin air...to create a galaxy-level giant structure..."

[Why is it impossible? 】

The voices of the Huaiguang crowd were like the overlapping of hundreds of millions of people, with a holy and ethereal charm: [Ian, it’s just like you said]

[Thousands of fire seeds, a thousand races, a thousand kinds of ecology - we are on Terra, hosting the beast of a thousand stars, thus becoming the foundation of the Cradle of a Thousand Stars]

【Let’s guess】

[Guess what the real power of the Beast of Thousand Stars is]

At this moment, both the frozen fish instructor and the split soul were lost in thought.

Most of them knew some information about the Beast of Thousand Planets, so they began to think after learning about the exchange between Ian and Huaiguang... They all already knew the nature of the planet Terra, but due to various reasons, they did not have time. and energy to think about these overly grandiose aspects.

But when they started thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel a little creepy - if it was true as Huaiguang said, Terra was originally the foundation of the grand plan called the Cradle, then now, with many fires reviving faster and faster, The contradictions between the people of Terra are getting bigger and bigger, and it is possible that if the perpetual motion machine releases more and more source matter... maybe Terra will usher in an era of chaotic chaos in the future!

The number of magical beasts will increase, and as the density of the source material continues to increase, the possibility of magical beasts giving birth to wisdom will also continue to increase. And judging from the fact that most powerful monsters are essentially the degradation of alien intelligent life, maybe Terra in the future will really become a 'big Gu breeding ground' where thousands of intelligent races coexist and fight and kill each other!

This is a weight that one planet can never bear. Rather, even ten or a hundred planets are not enough! Even a thousand planets are not enough in today's situation where every fire is a creation of interstellar civilization!

[What's going on?] Even the goblins couldn't help but murmur to themselves when they think about that kind of future: [By then, God knows how many goblin subspecies will appear, and the goblin town will not be able to live in it...]

Everyone looked at Tutor Fengyu with speechless eyes - is this a problem of being unable to live? The virtual realm is almost full!

Corizion's soul frowned and said, "Then, before those monsters have regained their intelligence, we will exterminate them first?"

Now it was everyone's turn to turn to look at him - what is the classic Terra strongman thinking, just Tutu, right? I also don’t think about the fact that there are many fifth-level monsters in Warcraft. If they really fight, they will absolutely destroy the world. The current way of sublimation is based on the rich group of Warcraft. If they are all slaughtered, in the future, they will all have to cultivate arcana. The way of law.

Eh.

Thinking of this, Ian pondered instead: "This is a good publicity slogan..."

[I sincerely advise you not to be so extreme]

The Huaiguang group reminded: [Wanling Palace is committed to the equal coexistence of all races, and they will never allow you to think like this]

"I guess……"

At this moment, Isengard, who had been silent before, spoke.

After he noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he still said seriously: "Suppose that our clan's light-eclipse dragon bloodline is indeed related to the Beast of Thousand Stars."

"Then, I guess, the real ability of the Beast of Thousand Stars... is actually energy-devouring."

"Swallow energy and convert it into your own 'body'."

Isengard raised his hand, and the golden light representing the sun bird was flowing in his blood vessels, making his arms translucent and lighting up the light golden blood vessels.

The next moment, golden-red blood flames ignited, swirled around him, and turned into a blazing fire snake.

He stared at the fire snake transformed from his own blood and murmured: "This is an ability I discovered after awakening the Sun God Bird... As long as I activate two blood vessels at the same time, the Thousand Stars Beast's body will begin to violently It multiplies, explodes, and turns into such a blood flame. And the light of the Sun Bird will become even hotter because of this."

"If the Beast of Thousand Stars is really related to the perpetual motion machine you mentioned..."

Raising his head, Ethan looked at Ian and said seriously: "Then, the perpetual motion machine is equivalent to the blood of the Sun Bird in my body."

"Once it is activated, the Beast of Thousand Stars will proliferate...expand at a speed that is unimaginable to us!"

"Entity material building materials." Nodding suddenly, Ian said softly. He also completely understood why Huaiguang emphasized the relationship between the perpetual motion machine and the beast of a thousand stars: "So Terra is the foundation-the perpetual motion machine requires thousands of stars." As a breeding point, the Star Beast can catalyze the creation of a large amount of omnipotent material foundation..."

In fact, according to Ian's guess, it's all a little more straightforward.

The power of a perpetual motion machine can directly use the method of mass-energy conversion to forcibly create a large amount of matter.

Yes, simply using energy to convert matter requires a huge amount of energy to convert a few macromolecular structures. How much energy an antimatter reaction can release means how much energy is needed to condense a small amount of matter.

However, no matter how huge it is, even if the sun burns and explodes ten million times, it will turn the entire galaxy over and over and destroy the energy of a hundred million times.

It’s just ‘limited’.

But the perpetual motion machine represents ‘infinity’.

As long as Youjing Perpetual Machine is given time, it will be able to accumulate enough energy to accomplish anything it can accomplish.

This is one of the ultimate creations of civilization that is essentially ‘anti-entropy’, and it is such an unreasonable thing.

Of course, Ian also knew very well that the output of the Youjing perpetual motion machine could never be infinite.

At most, it can produce unlimited output with limited output.

A classic infinite reservoir, but water can only be drawn from the faucet.

But even so, such an infinite faucet is enough to transform everything in a spherical space with a radius of only five light years.

If nothing else, just use a perpetual motion machine to squeeze ten or eight planets, and now the sharp conflicts among the countries on Terra will be alleviated immediately.

At that time, each of the major forces will be divided into one planet, and after the development is completed, they will be divided into ten. Anyway, as long as the gravity is stable, it doesn't matter how many planets there are, and it is no big deal to create a star.

The so-called problem of insufficient resources is completely meaningless in the face of perpetual motion machines.

and……

The beast of a thousand stars seems to be a kind of 'creative fire' with extremely high mass-energy conversion efficiency, which is most suitable for creating all things.

As long as it absorbs enough energy, the Beast of Thousand Stars can transform into any form. It will certainly devour everything on Terra, but conversely, it can also create everything.

As long as you can master the control ability of the Beast of Thousand Stars, it may be another 'Black Mud Holy Grail' - even creating another Terra will be easy for it.

Ten or a hundred, it’s just a matter of time.

At this moment, everyone has landed at the bottom of the final dogma area.

An endless black plain as far as the eye can see, the ‘foundation of the earth’ composed of beasts from thousands of stars.

"...So, are there beasts of a thousand stars in the underground of Terra continent now?"

Ian paused for a while and couldn't help but sigh and asked: "Is it because the Beast of Thousand Planets fixed the structure of Terra's continent that we didn't completely die in the Skyfall Disaster?"

【indeed so】

The Huaiguang group said softly, with emotion in their tone: [If the Beast of Thousand Stars hadn't absorbed most of the energy of the sky pendant, perhaps the earth under our feet would have been shattered and dissolved like the new moon in the sky. 】

[But the price is that the proliferation of the Thousand Stars Beast has been out of control for a period of time. If we had not united all the forces of Terra at the last moment, including many mentors at that time and an ancestral true dragon to seal it, Terra would have been able to seal it long ago. No longer exists]

Ian stared at the pitch-black amorphous material in front of him, which was the body of the Beast of Thousand Stars.

It is indeed somewhat similar to the Corroding Light Refining Dragon, and has the same aura as the Night Shadow Soul Body like Corizion... But if it is just such a black jelly block, it really cannot give him the memory of what happened in the previous life. The sense of danger of the black tide swallowing the earth.

"Building materials..."

Ian raised his head and said to the Huaiguang crowd: "So, the purpose of the Star God is to use the Beast of Thousand Stars to create a huge paradise where all races and all life can survive together?"

He thought of the instructions left by the 'Forerunner'.

"Cradle World·Ring of Silence."

At this moment, Ian finally understood the identity of the cradle, and he said in disbelief: "There are also the last words of the Blazing Star Dragon..."

[——You need strength, and I will give it to you. However, successors... please do not forget, the real mission of you, me and the Center (the True Ancestor Dragon)... in order to protect all life, in order to contain the seeds of all civilization fires, you must build the cradle——】

[——Reshape the cradle, build the barrier, the demon of the end will not be your obstacle——]

[——The successor...becomes the eternal ‘ring’ and becomes the infinite ‘light’——]

[——Embrace the ‘flame’——]

"Eternal ring, infinite light..."

The infinite light obviously represents the Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine.

And the ‘flame’ and the eternal ring.

Ian couldn't help but raise his head.

His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the obstacles of heavy rocks and soil, reaching straight to the top of the sky, the blazing sun.

‘Flame’ represents ‘sun’.

And the eternal ‘ring’ that embraces the sun...

"It's the Dyson ring... it's the 'Ring World'... or it's the 'Alderson Disk'."

Ian murmured to himself: "Yes, I should have thought of it a long time ago - there is no need to talk about the laws of materials and ether in this damn place of Terra, and the ecosystem formed by the beast of a thousand stars is absolutely flawless. It will also change itself..."

If a ring world is really built based on a habitable orbit, its size will be tens of thousands of times the surface area of ​​a planet.

And if the structure is larger - after all, the etheric universe does not tell you about the four fundamental forces - then it may be hundreds of thousands of times.

The surface area of ​​a planet is hundreds of thousands times larger, which sounds terrifying. Even a thousand intelligent races can easily live there, and even... can coexist harmoniously.

[Yes, it is such a ring world - maybe not just a ring, but a 'meter' shape that roughly covers many orbits of the sun, a constantly rotating galaxy-level superstructure, or even a sun-centered disk. form world]

[A ‘cradle’ that completely covers the sun and makes all areas a livable area]

Saying this, the tone of Huaiguang Qun all had a hint of solemnity: [Even, there is no need for the sun, at least not just the current sun]

[Because of the existence of a perpetual motion machine, it can supply unlimited energy to condense brand new suns one after another - and then create rings one after another, even a 'cradle']

[Ian, imagine this]

[If it is such a structure, it will be evenly distributed in the vast space-time with a radius of five light years, maintaining the balance of gravity]

[Then what an incredible cradle community this is, how many lives can be sustained and how many civilizations can be revived! 】

At this point, even Huaiguang felt excited: [By then, many of Terra's difficulties will be solved, and without the pressure of resources and living space, I believe that the entire civilization will usher in an extremely huge sublimation! 】

[As long as the perpetual motion machine can be found, all the difficulties on Terra will be solved! 】

Yes, just find the perpetual motion machine.

But the problem is...

"How to find it?"

Ian murmured to himself: "Even if you blow up the entire Terra, you won't be able to find it... The emergence of a perpetual motion machine obviously needs to meet certain conditions!"

[Blow up Terra? 】

The Huaiguang crowd didn't quite understand what Ian said: [Why did you want to blow up Terra? 】

"Nothing, it just shows how difficult it is to find a perpetual motion machine."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian frowned and said, "I was just thinking that you didn't just want to tell us a secret when you called me, Isengard, and even Corizion's ghost."

"You have already guessed the existence of the Ring World and the Cradle. You just guided us to think about it ourselves."

"In that case, what do you really want to say?"

[Inaga II also wants to find a perpetual motion machine]

Hearing Ian's doubts, the Huaiguang group said calmly: [The abnormal source of Terra's emergence is obviously made by a perpetual motion machine, and there are almost no secrets on the surface of Terra that can be hidden from us]

[Only the inside of the Beast of Thousand Stars is unknown to us, so for various reasons, Inaga II wants to control the Beast of Thousand Stars, test its database, and find the whereabouts of the perpetual motion machine]

[This step has not been completed yet, but we think this possibility is unlikely, because if the beast of a thousand stars really obtained the perpetual motion machine, Terra would have been submerged by the black tide]

[Secondly, there is the New World. The New World appeared after the Skyfall Disaster. The ecology there is extremely wonderful, and because of the ultra-high concentration of psychic fields, there are even many subspace mazes directly connected to the material world]

[If the perpetual motion machine is not in the material world, it must be in the virtual realm and subspace]

[But this is not certain. We can only guarantee that there may be something harvested in the new world, at least there will be fragments of the spaceship that fell from the sky]

"You want us to find it." Ian concluded, and Huaiguang admitted: [Indeed, my mission is to watch the progress of mankind and maintain the peace of Terra. My enemy is natural disaster, I can’t explore every corner]

[And you have the strength and desire to find this perpetual motion machine that doesn’t seem to exist at all. I can only believe in you]

Ian didn't reply immediately.

He was just thinking.

In many previous lives, many Ians did choose to search for perpetual motion machines, but their results were not very good, and none of them were found.

From the current point of view, Ian who blew up Terra was right - there is no physical entity at all in a perpetual motion machine. It is something that will appear on its own as long as it meets the conditions.

In other words, Ian feels that the Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine is very likely not a machine at all, but a 'authority gate' directly connected to the 'Great Ether Circulation', the true and ultimate creation of the Star God, through the ether.

As long as this authority is turned on, the large ether circulation can extract infinite energy from infinite parallel space and time and gather it away.

The premise is that you have this permission.

So, who on this planet might have this authority?

Of course, it is the successors Inaga II and Ian who have the gift of the Star God!

Even if the Huaiguang group didn't know such details, they could fully understand the possible importance of the Star God's gift to the perpetual motion machine.

In addition, the conditions for meeting this requirement are probably quite stringent. Otherwise, there would have been many lives in which Ian had the gift of the Star God, but failed to guide the emergence of a perpetual motion machine.

——Perhaps it is because the operating system corresponding to the perpetual motion machine in the sky-falling spaceship has not been found...or there is some other key.

"I'll try."

Even though there were so many doubts and difficulties, Ian still agreed: "Perpetual motion machines can indeed solve almost all problems in the world. That is the ultimate answer to our planet. If I can find it, I will do it at all costs." .”

"Just Huaiguang, for such a difficult task, do you only have verbal help?"

【of course not】

After the Huaiguang crowd heard Ian's promise, they couldn't help but smile and said: [You are the person most likely to find a perpetual motion machine in the world, and you are also the person most likely to bring a new order, and the friends around you are even more so. Those closely related to the Beast of Thousand Stars]

[You are the result of fate, coincidence, and even the convergence of all causes and conditions. Of course we will do our best to help you]

At this moment, Ian saw two groups of light emerging above the dark land of the Beast of Thousand Stars, vaguely showing the appearance of twins: [Ian, your arcane path has reached a new stage, I can see it, You already have a fourth-level energy source and several fifth-level organs, but now you are troubled by your 'body' and 'sensory organs']

In fact, there is another means of attack. But Ian is not in a hurry, because he has many choices, and besides the ice prison dust, there may be other possibilities for the body.

And Huaiguang did express his help: [I can help you condense the most powerful 'Light Element Body', which is second only to the Sun God Bird's near-light physique... Of course, I noticed, The Star God inheritance in you seems to have similar power]

indeed. Ian nodded slightly. The Star God's Gift does have the ability to transform into ether, so he doesn't really need this incorporeal ability. He only needs the transformation ability of the material world like the ice prison floating dust.

[So] the large group of Huaiguang arrived with smiles: [We will give you our Huaiguang’s ‘perception ability’]

[Super timing awareness, predictive interface]
