Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 162 Stars
Speaking of which, if the luck of the lottery is calculated in days, then Liu Ke's luck today can be considered quite good.

Although Liu Ke complained that the [Neural Inhibitor] as a mental armor and accessory came a little late, it did have a good effect and could be regarded as a compensation for Liu Ke's current weakness of 'low mental resistance'.

As for the opponent who is worthy of using this thing?
After all, there are not only four madmen in this world who have mental attacks. Who knows one day a group of strange people who use mental attacks as their main means will pop up from some mountain valley.

Since he was very satisfied with the current situation, Liu Ke prepared for the next lottery without any psychological burden.

According to Liu Ke's previous experience with the probability of the [Ten Thousand Worlds] lottery, the next draw would probably be something white or gray, something so rubbish that no one would want. But since a useful thing had already appeared today, it was not unacceptable.

After Liu Ke concentrated his mind, he aroused his consciousness and suddenly clicked on the 'lottery button'!
smoke!
As he consciously clicked the lottery button, a meteor streaked across from the right side of the system interface.

But Liu Ke didn't know if it was his illusion, this meteor looked a bit bigger than before, at least it occupied a much larger area in the 'system interface'.

The meteor flew at an extremely fast speed, from gray to white, blue, and then turned into purple after spinning for a while.

"Holy crap? They've shipped? What day is today?"

Looking at the purple meteor now, Liu Ke couldn't help but mutter to himself in his sea of ​​consciousness, but the reason why he said that was not because the purple [Epic] level item was so special. After all, he had drawn the purple item [Compound No. 5] before.

What surprised him was that the meteor was still spinning.

call out!
As if in response to Liu Ke's surprise, the purple meteor accelerated rapidly again, just like a go-kart that had accumulated enough fuel after drifting a sufficient distance.

Swish!
The stardust began to spin, spreading like a violent storm, and the purple light gradually changed color, turning into orange light.

"what?"

Along with Liu Ke's surprise, this dazzling [Legendary] light began to shine around.

But not only that, the meteor is still accelerating, with no sign of stopping.

Swish!
As the orange light gradually became stronger, the meteor seemed to have absorbed all the light sources, and its color changed drastically again.

It changed from orange to bright red.

As the red light permeated, the meteor changed direction directly, as if it was heading straight towards Liu Ke in front of the "screen".

boom!
As the meteor continued to accelerate and get closer to the "lens", this highest-level object Liu Ke had ever encountered finally exploded in front of him.

After the meteor exploded, the entire 'interface' began to load the 'settlement animation', but unlike the straightforward display of the items drawn before, Liu Ke only saw darkness.

only.
boom!
As the flames ignited, a small bonfire began to provide light in the center of the picture.

At the same time, a voice, neither male nor female, that seemed to come from a phonograph, began to speak.

"We have been exploring deep space since the dawn of civilization."

"Our first manned rocket was a very rudimentary design, but that was just the beginning, and more sophisticated vehicles were to follow."

As these words were spoken, the perspective surrounding the campfire gradually rose, facing the boundless starry sky, and more than ten rockets were fired out alternately.

Finally, a 'spaceship' appeared faintly in the camera.

"For centuries, we have longed for the vast sea of ​​stars beyond our home system, fearing they would forever remain out of reach."

"But the invention of warp drive has profoundly changed the world we live in."

As the words were spoken, the entire picture gradually rose and headed towards deep space.

"A new habitable place? Yes, we've started space colonization!"

"The 'Hope', a spaceship carrying ten thousand heroes, set out for a star that might become our first colonized planet."

A huge spaceship appeared and began to travel through the universe.

"We received the final transmission from Hope three weeks and four days into the mission in May."

"But the static damaged the audio file, leaving only a fragment of an undecipherable alien language."

"This also means that there has been no news of the 'Hope' since then."

"However, we will not give up. The first generation of battleships, 'Slam', will come to the rescue."

In the picture, outside a blue planet, more than ten spaceships are starting up and heading towards deep space.

"At the same time, an alien fleet approached us. They used the human language they learned from analyzing the wreckage of the Hope to communicate with us."

"They claimed we were seeking to colonize their planet. After entering their defense range, the Hope was unable to communicate due to language barriers. Furthermore, the Hope ignored their warnings and refused to change course."

"So, it was shot down. At that time, the technology of these aliens seemed like gods to us."

"Since then, we have known that this is a galaxy full of unknowns, but also full of opportunities."

After the words were spoken, the voice began to fade away, but the picture began to change rapidly.

Exploration, colonization, development, diplomacy, hegemony.

As English, Chinese, Russian and French appear simultaneously, the five words above are interpreted alternately.

In the picture, planets are landed and colonized by spacecraft, and magnificent space buildings and star bases are springing up like mushrooms after rain.

As the screen flashed, more and more planets were "colonized" and the entire "force" became more and more prosperous.

Finally, as the construction of several great giant structures of the size of a star was completed, the sound appeared again.

"Strict diplomacy, academic research, and strategic alliances bought us valuable time, and the emergence of the Megastructure allowed us to overtake."

"We are growing stronger and safer, but how can we forget our initial 'hope'?" "Those who have harmed us will be repaid a hundredfold!"

As the tone of the 'narrator' grew increasingly tough, thousands of combat spaceships headed towards the star that the 'Hope' had originally targeted, and began a protracted battle with the alien empire that they had first encountered.

After countless years, 'humanity' finally won the final victory and planted its flag on the original 'star of hope'.

"We have won, and the entire galaxy is within our grasp."

"We will use the power of Megastructure to create a new order from chaos."

The picture kept rising and finally stopped not far from the 'mother star field', and what came into view were the more than ten star-level [megastructures].

"Congratulations, you've won the immortal-level item [Giant Structure Catalog]."

Liu Ke felt dizzy when he saw the word "Immortal". When he dazedly clicked on the item interface, he saw a miniature sphere that seemed to contain the boundless universe.

When Liu Ke immersed his consciousness in this, the information was revealed.

【Megastructure Catalogue】

Category: Recipe/Blueprint

Rating: Immortal

Effect: None
Evaluation: A knowledge inheritance from the world of "Stellaris", but it itself is just a more advanced blueprint, but the power of the "item" it records is really too strong.

"The stars...yes, indeed, you should be able to see it."

When Liu Ke saw the reviews of the new item he had drawn, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Stellaris, also known in English as 'Stellaris', is a 4X grand strategy war game developed and published by the notorious Paradox studio.

The game is set in space in the year 2200. Players will play the role of a leader of an interstellar civilization, responsible for exploring the unknown universe, interacting with other alien civilizations, and building a powerful interstellar empire.

Correspondingly, as a space strategy game, 'technology', 'war', 'diplomacy' and 'development' are the focus of its gameplay.

The "megastructures" in the game "Stellaris" are unique buildings that players can build after reaching a certain level of technology.

These buildings take a very long time to build and require a lot of resources, but the rewards after completion are also correspondingly high. This is a unique way of playing that uses technology to feed back "war", "diplomacy" and "development".

The megastructures include: Dyson Sphere, Ring World, Arc Furnace, Star Ring Base, Hyperspace Repeater, Quantum Slingshot, Matter Decompressor, etc.
Just by analyzing a few of the most famous ones, you can understand the terrifying effects of these [megastructures].

The Ringworld megastructure can be constructed by dismantling other planets to create ringworld segments. There are four segments in total, each equivalent to an oversized Gaia planet, and can be occupied regardless of species' habitability. This megastructure can greatly solve the "living space" problem of Star Citizens.

The giant structure [Dyson Sphere] can wrap around a specific star and convert all the stellar radiation into energy, providing huge amounts of energy.

The megastructure [Matter Decompressor], built on top of a black hole, focuses the black hole's gravity into a single point, forming a gravitational drill. This drill extracts matter from the black hole's singularity and converts it into various minerals.
The above three types of megastructures are the more basic and well-known megastructures among the stars. They are respectively aimed at "space", "energy" and "materials". Once built, they can directly solve the corresponding problems.

The "Megastructure Catalog" that Liu Ke pulled out naturally included the design drawings of all the megastructures in the "Stars" world, as well as the corresponding technological concepts.

"Hey, I should be happy, but why does something feel wrong?"

Liu Ke had played Stellaris in his previous life, so he naturally knew what this so-called megastructure was. The moment he drew it, he understood the value of the red quality.

To explain it in a simpler way, the technological level of Liu Ke's current world is still a little bit away from the technological level of the original world of [Giant Structure Atlas].

At this moment, even with the wisdom given by 'Teacher Tony', it would be too advanced for him to want to learn the design of these [megastructures].

Even... he felt that even if he learned it, it would be useless. The world is not a world for one person, and these giant structures would probably not be built until his death.

However, the corresponding technologies contained in the megastructure can still be used as a reference.

In other words, the thing Liu Ke drew... is, in a sense, a technology for [Fighting the Future].

Liu Ke, who was lying on the bed, blinked and sent a message to Er Zhuang to tell him that his room was now open to entry.

Afterwards, he immersed his consciousness into the system and began to study this [Giant Structure Atlas].

When Liu Ke came to his senses, it was already the next morning.

Speaking of which, since acquiring the 'Curse of Knowledge', Liu Ke hadn't felt any difficulty in 'learning' for a long time. Aside from the initial difficulty in getting used to the armor, the rest of the time he could just see and learn.

However, the technological span brought by these [megastructures] is quite "transcendent". When Liu Ke was analyzing the relatively simple ring world and Dyson sphere, he felt it was very difficult, just like gnawing on bonito wood all night and only gnawing off some wood chips.

But even this small amount of "wooden fish flower" was enough for Liu Ke to digest for several days. At this rate, it would probably take several months or even a year to fully understand these giant structures and the corresponding technologies.

When Liu Ke woke up in the morning, he felt dizzy when he thought of those "unsolved" things. He simply took out the nerve inhibitor he had just drawn, and used it as a way to relieve stress, and began to analyze and study it.

"Well, now that I see it, although the technology in Azeroth is a bit barbaric, it's also straightforward and easy."

It seemed that the study of the megastructure had "purified" his brain again. The "suppressor" that seemed quite interesting yesterday now became very straightforward, and seemed to have no difficulty at all in front of Liu Ke.

At noon, Liu Ke and Gao Yushan went to the airport again.

As planned, Liu Ke planned to go to Xinjie in Liupanshui to take a closer look. As for Gao Yushan, she would return to the Northeast to wait for the company's special assignment for temporary workers.

The two people's flights arrived at similar times, and Gao Yushan boarded the plane first, so Liu Ke was the one who saw her off.

When they parted, the two did not act too sentimental. They just hugged each other and exchanged a few small words, and that was the end of their farewell.

After all, the situation of these two "cyber lovers" is quite special. As long as they are in a place with Internet, they can be considered to be able to accompany each other at all times.

After bidding farewell to Erzhuang, Liu Ke boarded a plane to Liupanshui. As soon as he boarded, he donned his eye mask and began to immerse himself in the sea of ​​consciousness, taking time to review the "Wooden Fish Flower" he had learned at school the day before.
