Chapter 753: Chapter 630: Use the Continent as a Ship, the Quantum as the Sea!
The endless Sea of Quanta, the place where everything begins and ends.
At this moment, a landmass of about 100,000 square kilometers was like a lone boat in a storm, endlessly drifting in the Sea of Quanta. Lynn was like an experienced helmsman, constantly using the coordinates of the Eternal Star as a fixed point to navigate through this ocean of quanta.
However, they were clearly not the only “travelers” in the Sea of Quanta. Just after Lynn increased the relative time flow speed to more than tenfold, he vaguely sensed the presence of other dimensions.
This wasn’t direct sight, but a perception of their presence through the changes in spatial curvature.
These entities, also adrift in the Sea of Quanta, were enormously large, and the gravitational effects they caused could cover four dimensions simultaneously.
Like giant ships cleaving through the waves, ripple after ripple spread out in all directions.
Since Lynn could perceive them so clearly, this meant that they were probably very close to their position. Lynn could even roughly reconstruct the shape of that plane in his mind but dared not make contact rashly.
The cosmos was far too dangerous. The technology of geometric civilizations was already quite advanced, even capable of creating cosmic phenomena like black holes. However, there were three such Level 6 civilizations in this galaxy alone, and galaxies were as numerous as grains of sand in the universe.
Soon, as the time flow speed increased further, the spatial ripples started to become chaotic. This meant that there were many “travelers” in the current region, some stationary or moving slowly like snails, others swift as lightning, constantly moving their positions.
It was when Lynn increased the four-dimensional coordinates to a fifteenfold time node that one of the targets in the spatial perception suddenly approached them.
Lynn immediately became tense, as the decision to approach them likely meant that the other party was highly confident, and it could be a very powerful civilization.
Just as Lynn contemplated whether to flee at high speed, the other suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The disappearance was complete, and their gravitational disturbance could no longer be detected.
Initially, Lynn wondered if the other party had used some method to temporarily eliminate the effects of gravity, like a submarine lurking underwater to ambush ships by shutting off its radar to avoid detection.
But Lynn soon dismissed this thought, as the other party’s forward speed in the dimensions was much faster than his own, and if they had decided to attack, they would probably have already struck.
Now, after a long time, there was still no activity.
“Could they have been obliterated?” Lynn wildly speculated.
Of course, this probability was very low, and it was more likely that something more important had come up, causing them to space-jump to another location.
The almost-confrontation made Lynn temporarily give up his plan to continue moving deeper into the Sea of Quanta.
He also noticed that compared to the Eternal Star, or to the great cosmos, regions within a tenfold flow speed seemed relatively safe. This was probably because lower-level civilizations lacked the ability to traverse the Sea of Quanta, and for advanced civilizations capable of controlling dimensions, a mere tenfold flow speed was insignificant.
Furthermore, the increased consumption of Divine Power was somewhat unbearable for Lynn. Maintaining a high time flow speed for an extended period required a continuous expenditure of Divine Power to withstand the wash of quantum tides. The greater the speed differential, the deeper into the Sea of Quanta, the greater the consumption.
In the end, Lynn decided to adjust the time flow speed to around tenfold. After confirming that there were no other “travelers” nearby, he then diverted some of his attention to observe the activities of Harrov and others.
During the time Lynn was concentrated on navigating dimensional coordinates, the Wizards who entered with him had already started major reformations.
Considering their past experiences in foreign lands, several Legendary Councilmen jointly created a large fusion furnace to serve as the Sun, providing light. They simulated the change from day to night by opening and closing the fusion furnace.
Then came the improvement of soil and production of oxygen, which was managed by the Wizards from the Conservation Society. By planting a magical plant called “Weave Mushroom,” they could achieve both these goals and also create some light sources.
The initial reformation plan continued for several months, covering an area of about 10,000 kilometers, an approximate tenth of the separated continent.
With Magic, the most versatile tool, progress was extremely rapid. In less than half a year, the barren continent began to show enticing shades of green.
Next was the placement of life and the construction of an ecological cycle…
“This is just like creation itself!” Rafael exclaimed as he looked at the vast grasslands, jungles, and rivers wandering through them.
Sanchez, also quite pleased, nodded. The large forest area was his masterpiece, hard to believe it was once an empty desert not long ago.
But the next moment, a voice rang in everyone’s ears.
“We’re still far from real creation…”
Naturally, the speaker was Lynn, who had been observing everyone’s experiments after ending various trials in the Sea of Quanta.
While Santana and others seemed to have established a decent ecosystem by introducing a balanced amount of predators and prey forming a basic ecological cycle, there were also many things lacking, such as a community of microorganisms, which was virtually growing wildly.
Lynn was sure that once they left, all the internal life forms would die off within a decade or so.
Secondly, the area was still too small. 100,000 square kilometers may seem large, equivalent to the size of a small country, but creating a complete ecological cycle without external aid was too difficult.
A small ecological imbalance could likely trigger a chain reaction due to lack of self-regulating capabilities.
Through Lynn’s detailed explanation, Rafael felt somewhat embarrassed, as he also recognized that the ecosystem they had established was not perfect; his previous remark was just spontaneous.
Lynn was not entirely critical, pointing out these flaws to prevent everyone from becoming too complacent. In fact, their experiments had achieved considerable results.
At least it had proven viable to use high time flow speed zones for agriculture and aquaculture, and it was just a matter of technological adequacy.
Moreover, as they had anticipated, the Sun’s gravity still affected this continent, and even the changes in gravity they felt were very subtle, making everyone marvel at the fact that they couldn’t see where the Sun was located.
