Chapter 749: Chapter 626: The Lower-Dimensional Unfolding Forms of High-Dimensional Matter
In Lynn’s perception, the Divine Power within his body was disappearing at an extremely rapid rate. Soon more than half was gone, while the palm-sized seventh element before him seemed like a bottomless vortex, as if intent on devouring everything into it.
Harrov, Vittorio, and the others were also nervously looking towards Lynn. They had researched this peculiar element before, but the results were not as desired. If it weren’t for someone interrupting from the outside world in time, Vittorio would have almost been trapped inside.
At this moment, Lynn, just like the previous Vittorio, found his consciousness trapped in a weird maze of thoughts. His mind was split into two parts—one present in the outer world and the other trapped inside the palm-sized seventh element, surrounded by what seemed like a bizarre maze, with layers of crystalline bodies all around.
Lynn knew clearly that this was a sight unique to High-dimensional Space.
It was like how a two-dimensional being would perceive a three-dimensional object—as the object moved continuously, the cross-sections presented before it would also keep changing constantly.
Fortunately, having transcended to the God Realm, Lynn had also become a high-dimensional being. Under the dual perspectives of the internal and external views, the features of the seventh element quickly unfolded before him.
It was an irregular hypercube, about fifteen centimeters in diameter, as smooth as a round mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery within, dazzling like a kaleidoscope as the object rotated.
The previously infused Divine Power was not without effect. Magic Power could permeate every known element and even micro-particles were no exception. Despite the seventh element’s uniqueness, it couldn’t evade the infiltration of Magic Power.
However, the amount of Magic Power needed was simply too vast. Even Legendary Wizards like Harrov, even if they drained themselves completely, could not control it.
After expending nearly sixty percent of his Divine Power, Lynn finally gained control over this cluster of the seventh element.
Although it appeared only the size of a palm, its mass was around a hundred tons. Unlike a neutron star, which has high mass due to the close packing of micro-particles, the terrifying mass of the seventh element came from it possessing four dimensions!
It was like a metal block with a length and width of one meter and a thickness of one centimeter—its mass would be roughly seventy-eight kilograms. But if its thickness increased to one meter, the mass would become 7.8 tons.
The seventh element, having four dimensions, was equivalent to countless three-dimensional materials stacked together; naturally, its mass was remarkably exaggerated.
Yet now, the seventh element, with its colossal mass, was being continuously reshaped by Lynn as if it were a toy, kneaded into various forms.
“Chairman Lynn, what use is this thing?” Anthony curiously inquired.
Lynn paused for a moment, stopped toying with the seventh element, and began to explain, “This high-dimensional matter can directly influence space-time and possesses strong plasticity…”
For some reason, the notion that a triangle is the most stable structure suddenly popped into Lynn’s mind…
Could it be the same for dimensions?
Lynn felt there was a strong possibility because the high-dimensional forms of micro-particles typically appeared as probability clouds, very unstable. But when countless micro-particles were fixed together under the influence of the strong force, presenting themselves in a low-dimensional form, their shape became more fixed.
Numerous speculations quickly flashed through Lynn’s mind. Just the two discovered attributes alone were already very useful—for a technological civilization, this was the key to advancing from lower to higher dimensions!
No wonder the seventh element was so highly valued by geometric civilizations.
The numerous Chairmen present were eagerly discussing the uses of this material. Vittorio quickly proposed a very useful constructive suggestion—since this thing could directly influence space-time, could it not replace the god-powered system to provide energy for the Curvature Engine?
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Chairmen suddenly saw a light. After losing the energy source of Harro, the Moon God, the Curvature Engines they developed had become nothing more than attractive decorations without the capability of superluminal flight.
Unless Lynn was willing to act as the energy source, but as the head of the Wizard Council, it was clearly impossible for him to expend too much effort here.
Moreover, a superluminal spaceship was fine for deterrence but was far from decisive in warfare…
If the seventh element could now be used as a substitute, mass production of superluminal spacecraft would become possible.
“Cough, cough…” Just as everyone was discussing, Harrov suddenly coughed lightly, redirecting everyone’s attention. “Postponing the research on the seventh element for later would not be too late. The celebration banquet I had prepared has most likely already begun…”
Lynn nodded, put away the seventh element, and was not very interested in this ceremonial banquet but the Alchemists who had returned with him deserved some proper rest and ample reward.
This grand celebration banquet was set up inside a lavish exhibition hall, attended almost exclusively by Great Wizards.
In just two short years, with the power of the magic network, the number of Great Wizards had increased to around five thousand, and the count of Legendary Wizards had also breached the significant mark of twenty.
For these new magic network users, Lynn also made acquaintance with each one, getting to know them by face.
Once the banquet was over, Lynn couldn’t wait to return from the Sky Dome Tower to his residence, starting more in-depth research on the seventh element. He tried cutting it open, breaking it apart, or mixing it with various elements and particles to observe its properties.
The initial attempt at cutting did not go smoothly. Lynn tried various methods and finally discovered that normal materials, when slashed at the seventh element, were like cutting through fluid—only changing its shape but unable to achieve a true cut.
After some effort, Lynn managed to make a partial cut with a quantum blade bound by Divine Power, severing into two similarly volumed pieces of the seventh element.
Of course, they looked the same size as before, but their mass had already changed, having been cut from another dimensional level.
Following that, Lynn attempted to fuse the pieces back together with Magic Power, trying to restore it to its previous form.
This proved even more challenging, and what he did not expect was that an accident occurred so abruptly…
One of the palm-sized pieces of the seventh element suddenly began to expand rapidly, absorbing everything around it. Not only the room where he was, but the vast estate outside, and even the entire streets of the capital city disappeared into thin air.
