Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Lin Yi looked at Huanlong: "Great Lord of Annihilation o Huanlong~ Should I say it's been a long time, or have we met again so quickly?"

Lin Yi asked curiously, "I'm a little curious about your relationship with that part of the Immortal Ship. Are you still one entity? Is there any chance that you'll betray each other or that I'll scheme against myself?"

Huanlong ran away without saying a word.

Lin Yi: "That's really impolite~ and I haven't even finished asking yet."

Lin Yi chuckled, letting Huanlong disappear into the distance. He opened his left hand and saw Huanlong right there in his palm, seemingly oblivious to his presence, still fleeing at breakneck speed.

This was developed by Lin Yi based on the bet between the Buddha's palm and Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.

Myths and legends are undoubtedly imaginative enough, but once technology reaches a certain level, most legends can be turned into reality.

Screw Gum also turned his head to observe Lin Yi's palm.

Screw Gum: "Exquisite control, amazing skill. In the brief moment of intersection, you have unknowingly stripped away a certain range of relative space."

"Conclusion: Incredible methods. Your research into the spatial dimension has made further progress."

Lin Yi shook his head: "My research hasn't yielded any progress. The only difference from before is that I now have better equipment. The 'Phase Walker' is truly a divine artifact, enabling me to accomplish more miracles that seem unbelievable to others."

"That is, what the Black Tower calls 'magic'~"

Screw Gum: "A technologically backward world has insufficient understanding of the world. It is understandable that it would regard incomprehensible technology as a god and call it magic."

Lin Yi scoffed, "But it's a waste of their knowledge that the guys in the 'Erudition Society' can give such names to technologies they don't understand."

Sloth did not speak for the Society of the Learned, and he believed that apart from the scholars in the House of Commons and the philosophers in the Sacred Gallery, most of the Society had lost the ability to think for themselves.

Screw Gumu understood: "It seems Mr. Lin Yi, you are also troubled by the researchers' over-reliance on geniuses within the 'Divine Firmament Space City'."

Luo Sigumu believed that Lin Yi would not start a conversation for no reason, and that the reason could be understood with a little thought.

Screw Gum: "I think you need a 'doctor'?"

Lin Yi was taken aback, not expecting this, but it was just right.

Lin Yi nodded: "I heard you had a brief exchange with the famous Veritas Ladio at the 'Black Tower Space Station'."

Screw Gumm pondered, "That professor is indeed as rumored; he's more like a doctor than a scholar. He might actually be the one who can solve your problems."

Lin Yi: "It seems you quite approve of him."

Screw Gum: "Professor Ladio is not a pure scholar; he is both arrogant and self-deprecating, but also has a clear understanding of himself. Compared to a scholar, he is more like a teacher who is angry at his lack of ambition, a healer who cures the ailments of the soul."

"In conclusion, Professor Ladio was happy to share this clear self-awareness."

Lin Yi: "It seems I need to send an invitation to the 'Scholarly Society'... no, it should be the 'First Truth University'."

Screw Gum: "A very appropriate choice. You are very thoughtful, Mr. Lin Yi."

Lin Yi: "Not as thoughtful as you~"

If the collaboration is initiated for research purposes, it would be appropriate to send a letter to the "Society of Broad Knowledge" to invite them, but since it's about asking for a "doctor," it would be better to send them to "First Truth University."

Screw Gum changed the subject: "Perhaps Mr. Lin Yi, you don't need to invite him; that professor might come uninvited, just like the previous 'Black Tower Space Station.'"

Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "Maybe~"

These are not important; what's more important is the present.

Lin Yi pointed to his open palm with his other finger and asked Screw Gumu, "Screw~ how long do you think it will take for Huanlong to realize something is wrong?"

Screw Gum shook his head: "Insufficient data makes it difficult to verify, but it shouldn't be too long."

"Logic, this Lord of Annihilation is cunning and not stupid; on the contrary, he is quite meticulous."

Lin Yi became interested: "That's a good idea. Let's make a bet, each of us guessing a time, and see who gets closer."

"I'll go first—13 minutes."

Lin Yi said he was asking a question, but he didn't wait for a reply from Screw Gumu. Fortunately, Screw Gumu didn't seem to mind and was willing to participate in such an unimportant little game.

Screw Gum: "In that case, I'll guess... 7 minutes."

Screw Gum even paused for five seconds to calculate.

Then Lin Yi and Luo Sigumu quietly watched as Huanlong did what he did.

In the separated space, Huanlong rapidly broke away from the domain of Shenxiao Space City and escaped from "Traltekutli". Along the way, he occasionally fought against the air and then changed direction.

After leaving this star sector, it immediately traversed the imaginary number and crossed the sea of ​​stars. Then it summoned the Legion's wormholes and made several jumps in succession.

Sorry for the wait, and one more thing—meow

Chapter 212 The Tug-of-War—Nine and a Half of the Ten Will Die First

Huanlong was perhaps running too fast and dared not stop, she did not even realize that the stars had already repeated once.

Huanlong seemed to finally feel safe and let out a long sigh of relief: "Phew~ What a scare! I thought it was a company ambush. The 'Genius Club's' cleverness is nothing special. If that place had been sealed off, I don't think I could have escaped so easily."

"If it doesn't work this time, there will be other opportunities. As long as the Plenty Alliance arrives, we might as well take advantage of the chaos. Hmm... I wonder if I, on the Immortal Ship, succeeded. And what's with the memories in that annoying rat's brain? ...I'm sorry..."

"Forget it, I'll sneak off to Luofu first."

Huanlong muttered to himself. He then summoned the wormhole shuttle of the "Antimatter Legion" once again.

Being able to ride in a vehicle and having something to use is certainly better than running on your own.

The envoy is a barrier that can cross the universe and transcend the imaginary number, but it is also a difficult journey, and no one would be so idle as to actually cross it on their own.

Huanlong sensed something was amiss: "I hadn't noticed before, but why is the wormhole created by the wormhole shuttle so stable and spacious this time? It's not only comfortable, but there's also very little imaginary turbulence."

"Has the King Forged updated the technology of the 'Antimatter Legion' again? Are the wormhole shuttles forged in the furnace this time so effective? Or is it another divine gift from my Lord?"

Once you escape the wormhole, what comes into view is not the scenery near Luofu, but a starry sky similar to the one before.

Huanlong's face darkened; how could he not understand that something was wrong?

Lin Yi clicked his tongue in amazement: "It's only been less than 5 minutes, and you've already started to notice something's wrong. The Great Lord of Annihilation is indeed not simple. But it's also my fault. I'm sorry that I can't imitate such a barbaric and rudimentary thing as the Wormhole Shuttle."

Screw Gum disagreed: "It may indeed be too crude for you, Mr. Lin Yi, but the 'Antimatter Legion's' jump method does have many merits."

"It sacrifices safety and comfort for high flexibility, enabling it to deploy pawns inside the target area despite numerous obstacles."

"In the history of fighting against 'destruction' across the stars, many formidable barriers have been breached in this very way."

Lin Yi nodded: "That's true. Hmm~ I remember we developed some special countermeasures before, which seem to have universal applicability and can be promoted. I'll look for them when I have time."

Comfort, distance, flexibility, cost.

A leap can be broken down into these four dimensions.

Only the nameless pioneer aboard the train could manage to balance all four dimensions simultaneously. And even that was thanks to the legacy of the pioneers (the train and the star trails).

The remaining forces in the star sea can only choose to keep one of the three remaining dimensions, relying on the star orbits left behind by the pioneering star god to ensure their safety.

Like Star Peace Corporation—their initial approach prioritized cost over comfort (i.e., safety).

It's more like logistics traveling along star trails, station by station, supplemented by a large number of small transport ships and hubs within the star system to ensure flexibility.

This ensures the circulation of goods to the greatest extent and at the lowest cost, thus maintaining the dominance of credit points.

After the victories in the "Frontier Trade War" and the "Second Interstellar Energy War," the company, with its overwhelming force and robust resources, wiped out any troublemakers who dared to challenge its position.

While consolidating its absolute position, it also gained the right to set the agenda and absolute control over energy.

After this critical juncture, the "Interstellar Peace Corporation's" requirements for warp drive have shifted from a cost-oriented approach to two other factors.

Despite the vastness of space, the goods of the Interstellar Peace Company can be delivered swiftly to every shopper.

Building materials from every remote and isolated star can be delivered to Amber King immediately.

The comfort and safety provided by star orbit; the cost compensation brought by winning two interstellar wars and establishing hegemony.

The increased size compensated for the lack of flexibility.

The saying "To get rich, build roads first" is true, and the leapfrog development has made a primary contribution to the company's economic standing.

This means that the train will not be charged tolls.

Overall evaluation——

Comfort level: S (Do you like star trails that don't require tolls?)

Distance: A (B and volume correction)

Flexible: A++ (A plus volume correction)

Cost: S (B+ and war bonus correction)

The leap of the Immortal Ship is a completely different style~ I've maxed out my energy!

With the blessing of hunting and the inexhaustible energy at their disposal, they can open caves at will and leap around at will.

Their style is just not based on your star trails.

The energy reserves were maxed out regardless of cost, causing other dimensions to also become fully charged.

An isolated case that cannot be replicated.

Overall evaluation——

Comfort: A+ (Did it jump over? I didn't feel it, bro.)

Distance: A+ (Great Victory)

Flexibility: A+ (Great Victory)

Cost: EX (E - plus super modifier from the Hunter)

From this perspective, the "Antimatter Legion's" wormhole shuttle is actually quite good. It only sacrifices a tiny bit of safety, but in return, it gains extreme agility.

It's just transporting ten pawns, and nine and a half of them die on the way.

Isn't it just transporting one doomsday beast over there, which then turns into a series of doomsday beasts appearing one after another?

It's no big deal; the "Antimatter Legion" can afford it.

Do you like the 10 to the power of 40 units of dummy soldiers contributed by the "Talak Federation"?

Of course, this technology was used by the "Antimatter Legion" and the Zerg swarms of the past.

Overall evaluation——

Comfort: E-- (This is the limit of the rating, not the limit of the legion)

Cost: EX (if units that die on the road or while creating a hole are not counted as cost)

In terms of security, only the long-distance teleportation space engine developed by the "Genius Club" #77 can rival it and even surpass it.

As for the leap developed by Lin Yi based on his research on space and phase... well, the cost wasn't reduced.

It's mostly for personal use and shared with a small group of people.

Comfort level: EX (Genius Tech Boy)

Distance: EX (Genius Tech Kid)

Flexible: EX (Genius Tech Kid)

Cost: E (days... oh, no X)

Seven minutes had passed since Huanlong fell into Lin Yi's grasp. At first, Huanlong thought she had fallen into Lin Yi's trap or blockade, and only then did she try to break through.

Only now has she truly discovered the truth: she has been isolated from the outside world, and this place is merely a seemingly isolated starry sea.

Lin Yi: "Seven minutes to see through the illusion, no, it's eight minutes now, but you still win, Screw~"

Lin Yi sighed, "They're taking a simple game so seriously."

Huanlong no longer trusted his five senses, and instead used Suiyang's talent to perceive the general structure of the closed space. However, he discovered five pillars that seemed to support the sky at the edge, and his expression turned ugly.

Because of the shape of that pillar...

Huanlong looked up at the five pillars and finally saw a sight he hadn't seen before—a human face.

I'll add another chapter to make up for the previous day when I have time, but I doubt it will be...

Chapter 213 "The Phase Walker" (Inside)

Huanlong could easily understand that the five strangely shaped pillars were actually his palm!

Huanlong gritted her teeth, furious and deeply humiliated: "Lin Yi! You have insulted me too much!"
