Inside the S1 control room, cheers and tears mingled into a boiling ocean.

Qin Bing, an elderly man who dedicated his life to scientific research for the country, hugged Li Jianguo, who was also tearful, tightly like a child, repeatedly muttering the incoherent phrase "did it."

Several leaders who had rushed from Beijing could no longer maintain their composure. They clapped excitedly, their eyes fixed intently on the dark blue "sun" in the reactor well.

This is a monument to China's technology, a scepter powerful enough to change the world order.

However, amidst this ecstatic frenzy that would make any participant's blood boil, Su Wanqing's gaze pierced through the excited crowd, fixing firmly on the single, calm figure in front of the control panel.

He didn't cheer, he wasn't excited, and he didn't even look back at the big shots behind him who were going crazy for him.

He simply gazed silently at the brilliant, deep blue light in the reactor well, his profound eyes reflecting the miraculous glow, as if admiring a newly completed and reasonably satisfactory work of art.

That nonchalant air, so different from his surroundings, filled Su Wanqing with an unparalleled sense of pride and peace of mind.

At the very top of this bustling place, Bai Che's usually calm expression suddenly showed an extremely subtle change.

In an instant, all the deafening cheers, excited shouts, and joyful tears from the outside world seemed to be instantly ripped away by an invisible hand, turning into indistinct background noise.

In his world, there was only a cold, precise, and incredibly pleasant mechanical synthesized voice.

It rang in his mind right on time.

【Ding! 】

Main quest "Heart of the Ark" perfectly completed!

[Task settlement in progress...]

[Perfection Level: SSS+ (Exceeded all indicators and triggered a global strategic shock)]

[Rewards being distributed...]

Bai Che's consciousness was instantly pulled away from the immense sense of accomplishment in the real world and entered a private channel connected to the system.

He knew that the real "payday" moment had arrived.

[Reward 1: Artificial Intelligence "Fuxi" - Upgraded to Intermediate Version.]

Bai Che's heart stirred slightly.

[More practical than industrial blueprints.]

He had expected the system to reward him with complete blueprints for the industrial production of the Arc Reactor, but to his surprise, the system directly enhanced his core auxiliary tools.

The value of an intermediate-level AI that has developed basic self-learning and logical reasoning abilities far exceeds that of any single technical document.

However, the system didn't give him much time to think and dropped a real bombshell.

[Reward 2: Next stage technology clue - [Anti-Gravity Engine Fundamental Theory], unlocked!]

boom--!

Each word was like a supernova, exploding in the depths of Bai Che's consciousness!

His heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

Anti-gravity!

If the Ark Reactor only solves the problem of "electricity"—how human civilization can thrive more comfortably within the "well" of Earth—then the problem of electricity is the key.

So, the anti-gravity engine is a key that can directly pry open the "well cover" and allow the creatures inside the "well" to see and even step into the boundless universe!

This is a leap from the energy revolution to the space revolution!

This is a blatant provocation against the authority of the gods!

The sheer scale of the technology tree was so vast that even Bai Che, a transmigrator with extraordinary abilities, felt a brief moment of unease.

The moment the system notification sound ended, a torrent of information—far larger, more profound, and closer to the "Tao" than any previous knowledge infusion—rushed into his mind like a collapsing universe!

It is no longer just a simple mechanical drawing.

It is no longer a linear mathematical formula.

It is a profound theory about the curvature of four-dimensional spacetime, a complex mathematical model of graviton perturbation and changes in the macroscopic form of matter, a crazy idea of ​​extracting and targeting zero-point energy, and even an AI with the ability to self-evolve, with a vast underlying logical architecture as numerous as the stars...

"Well……"

The overwhelming amount of information finally triggered an uncontrollable stress response in Bai Che's body.

His face, bathed in the dim blue light of the control room, suddenly turned deathly pale, as if all his strength had been drained. His body swayed slightly uncontrollably, and he instinctively reached out to steady himself on the cold control panel.

This subtle movement was precisely captured by someone.

"Bai Che!"

The joy and pride on Su Wanqing's face were instantly replaced by deep worry. Almost instinctively, she pushed through the crowd, rushed forward, and grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong? Are you too tired?"

Her voice was clear and cold, yet carried a barely perceptible tremor, like a clear spring that forcibly pulled Bai Che's consciousness back from the brink of being swallowed by the data storm.

Bai Che took a deep breath, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and forcibly suppressed the overwhelming dizziness in his mind. Like a supercomputer, he rapidly partitioned, summarized, and stored the massive amount of information.

A few seconds later, when he looked up again, the calmness in his eyes, which always carried a hint of laziness, had vanished.

Instead, there is a sharp light that seems to pierce through rock layers and into the future, burning fiercely!

He glanced at the Ark Reactor in front of him, which was still steadily outputting terrifying energy, and his eyes had completely changed.

That's no longer about appreciating a perfect work of art.

Rather, it is a form of examination.

Examine a qualified "power bank".

Yes, it's just a starting point, a tool to provide the foundational energy for even grander and more ambitious plans to come.

Ignoring the concerned and inquiring gazes from Li Jianguo, Qin Bing, and others, Bai Che turned his head to look at Su Wanqing, who looked nervous beside him. A tired yet earnest smile appeared on her slightly pale face.

"Senior."

"Um?"

"It seems our 'home'..."

Bai Che paused, then spoke softly in a tone only the two of them could understand, tinged with amusement:

"Soon we'll be able to move up to the sky."

This seemingly random yet imaginative statement left Su Wanqing stunned.

Family?

Move it to the sky?

She couldn't comprehend what kind of earth-shattering future was hidden in that seemingly nonsensical whisper.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth, about to ask him if he was so tired that he started talking nonsense, but she saw that Bai Che's gaze had already passed over her shoulder, through the heavy alloy dome of the main control room, as if he could see that boundless and vast starry sky blocked by a thousand-meter layer of rock.

he knows.

From the moment the words "anti-gravity engine" appeared in his mind, his journey would no longer be limited to this small blue planet.

A brand new era, belonging to the stars and the sea, has been ushered in by his own hands.
