Survival of the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger
Chapter 274 The 8th Elementary Sense "Energy Sense" [4000]
"Ten thousand law does not invade? Well, it's a very interesting phrase, and it almost means this."
Regarding Kansandra's words, Zhao Feng did not take up the words, and he is very entangled now.
First of all, he is quite afraid of meme pollution.
And now there is a way to decipher memetic contamination.
But the problem is, the way to crack the meme pollution is under the strong meme pollution environment.
It's a bit of a mouthful, but the meaning is definitely right.
'Um?There must be an antidote within seven steps of the poisonous snake, right? '
There is no problem with "antidote".
The problem is, he might not be able to bear the poison of meme pollution for even half a minute.
I almost got recruited in the chat channel before, let alone in person.
Just when he was at a loss here.
The intimate reminder of the plug-in popped up.
(Hint: Why not try to tap into your eighth sense?)
(By raising the proficiency of the initial stage of the eighth sense "energy sense" to "perfect", you can communicate with high-energy particles below the Planck scale. Although it is still far from the depth of the soul, it is enough to deal with it. 1660super's ambient meme contamination.)
(Or the eighth sense can be raised to a higher level, and then the “sense of space” can be aroused, and the space between the body and this dimension can be isolated, and the meme pollution can also be blocked.)
Staring at the prompt message of the plug-in, Zhao Feng was overjoyed, but then became speechless.
'Depend on!Eighth sense!I also want to improve my eighth sense, but who knows how to improve that thing! ? '
As soon as he complained a few words in his heart, Zhao Feng stopped talking. He looked at Kansandra and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Do you know the eighth sense?"
"What, stuck?"
"Um!"
"Is the sense of energy off?"
"Um!"
"Oh, this is actually quite difficult. I can only guide you to the sense of energy. How about I let you directly see the world of energy. As for the rest, you need to realize it yourself."
Before Zhao Feng could answer, a strange feeling flooded his whole body.
In the next second, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The energy world displayed in front of his eyes is different from the black and white world of the sixth sense. There are no black and white intersecting lines here.
It is also different from the "grain" world of the seventh sense, which does not have endless atomic particles.
The only thing here is a variety of colors.
The original bridge environment was now replaced by a uniform light red color.
The position of the operating table in the distance is brighter yellow, and golden light spots flash across it from time to time.
Obviously, that's the device transmitting the signal.
In addition to the color of the objects, the surrounding crew members also turned into human-shaped color blocks.
They are different from objects. The energy light emitted by people is not dazzling or shining, but it is the most vivid.
The light emitted by each person contains 7 colors.
From bottom to top, they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.
'Is this the so-called glow?Purple is the highest energy level? '
Thinking of this, he raised his hand to look at his arm.
I saw that the light from his palm was more gorgeous than anyone else's, and the colors were divided into extremely detailed on top of the basic 7 colors.
There are several styles of red, such as rose red, bright red, and bright red.
It is simply different that is visible to the naked eye.
As if thinking of something, Zhao Feng turned his head and looked in the direction where Ruolan was. . .
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Feng frowned involuntarily.
It was an extremely pure purple without the slightest variegation.
Completely different from other humans, and also different from him.
This made Zhao Feng's spirit in a trance.
He had never seen such a situation.
He didn't know what that meant, and the plug-in didn't pop up any prompt message at this time.
'Shouldn't be a big deal, right? '
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng temporarily put aside what he had just seen.
Turn to study your own situation.
First, he tried to use his mind power, only to see a blue beam of light rushing out of his body directly.
Then he activated his seventh sense again, trying to grasp the energies with various colors, but it still didn't work at all.
'. . .No, this method cannot be used. Energy is a more microcosmic high-energy particle, and the seventh sense must not be able to reach it, and the perception based on perception must not be able to capture it, microcosmic particles. . .Microscopic particles? !With the soul? '
Zhao Feng, who seemed to understand something at this moment, directly dissipated all his abilities to reduce interference.
Immediately, the 5th sense was closed, but the sixth sense was not opened, and all the assistance was thrown away, only keeping his human side.
Then, experience them with your heart, feel the energy passing through the skin, and feel the air energy inhaling into the body.
Try to feel them, understand them.
I don't know how long it has passed, maybe 1 second or maybe 1 day.
. . .
At this time, all the crew members looked at Zhao Feng as if they were looking at a god.
Zhao Feng, who was immersed in the energy world, didn't know what state he was in.
But the crew members knew that their captain took off!
Pooh!Floating.
Not only that, the captain's body is like those gods on the ancient murals of the Xia Kingdom, not to mention the 7-color divine light.
The energy ribbon is constantly surrounding his body.
The surface of the skin is even more golden, just like the corona of a star.
"Hey, is our boss going to cross the catastrophe?"
"Shh!"
As soon as the man opened his mouth, he was booed back by the companion next to him.
Knowing that he was wrong, the man quickly shut up, not daring to make the slightest sound.
. . .
Time passed, and 7 days passed in a flash.
Zhao Feng was still floating in the air, and his body turned into a light cocoon.
Obviously, this means to become a butterfly.
And the more this is the case, the less everyone dares to move around.
One by one silently sticking to their posts, moving the battleship?Turn on the shield?
Don't dare, don't dare!
After all, this one is the absolute thigh of the human race. Whether more than 70 billion people can live safely in the future depends on others.
Mess around?If something happens, who can take the responsibility?
But then again, in fact, there is no need to worry so much. The moment he turned into a light cocoon on the fifth day, Zhao Feng had already started the eighth sense.
Being able to control energy is the first sign of entry. As for why it took so long to become a light cocoon, it is mainly because Zhao Feng is a bit of a thief.
After discovering that he had mastered the "sense of energy", he did not quit immediately, because the plug-in reminded him that in the current state, the speed of comprehending the sense of energy will increase by 10 times.
How could he let go of such a good opportunity?On the spot, he started smashing the "shock value" to advance the proficiency of this skill.
Needless to say, the effect, the eighth sense, which should have been consumed several times, is not as much as the "shock value" consumed by the seventh sense.
In this way, with the help of the environment provided by Kansandra, in the next two days, he was actually getting familiar with and improving the realm of the eighth sense.
After this wave of investment, the shock value was reduced by half on the spot.
The effect is very gratifying, his "energy sense" has been raised to "the ultimate state".
In addition to the expansion of the realm, the most important thing is that he has obtained the ability to build a high-energy particle shield.
The shield is divided into two types, one is dominant, similar to an energy shield, which can resist all physical damage.
The other kind is hidden, that is, the particle shield under the Planck scale.
This "shield" will not be activated even if it is shot by a laser.
It will only be activated when encountering soul shock, meme pollution, or even changes in the rules of the universe.
This is a defensive application, and for other applications, Zhao Feng immediately thought of energy.
The sense of energy allows him to intuitively see the energy structure inside the star, as well as the energy cycle and absorption process of the Dyson ring.
In this way, targeted improvements can be made for those less than perfect designs.
In addition, the sense of energy can also affect the operation of energy, that is to say, from today on, his artificial stars will no longer go out of control no matter whether it is the process of hand rubbing or cutting off.
At least around Zhao Feng, there will never be any loss of energy control.
Feeling the change in this body's strength, Zhao Feng quickly contacted Kansandra.
"Thank you very much for your help. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No, it's good for me to stay here. I'm so tired of fighting and killing. Of course, if you can complete all the leader trials and survive the dimension ascending ceremony, then I don't mind joining your team." subordinate."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng was just about to reply when he heard it say impatiently.
"Okay! Don't be polite~ Hurry up~ I've already given you so many benefits, don't you want to sleep and make up for it?"
"Anyway, thank you very much."
After the spiritual communication was over, Zhao Feng manipulated the cross-border key, left here and returned to his base.
He will not kill 1660Super directly.
Just kidding, don't think he has reached the peak of the eighth sense now.
But it can only resist meme pollution in the background environment.
You see, since there is "background" pollution, there must be stronger sources of pollution.
What will he do when faced with a stronger meme?
And his crew members don't have the ability to resist meme pollution.
So he can only come back first and wait for a while before passing.
Anyway, the key has to be charged for 1 month of "electricity".
It just happens that he can use it to familiarize himself with the application of the eighth sense.
Speaking of the eighth sense, Zhao Feng was in a very happy mood.
After all, he didn't expect that the harvest this time would be so great!
Originally, I was asking for information from 1660super.
Who would have imagined that he would directly squeeze "a sheep" back?
Moreover, the eighth sense of the perception system is not a separate type, but is divided into two parts: primary "energy" and high-level "space".
But this is also good, so that his strength can be more comprehensive.
His achievements will be even higher in the future.
It was another 30 days after returning to the base.
. . .
At this time, the area occupied by the human race has reached more than 75%.
There is only one step left to leave here, but because there is still almost time, other civilizations have not yet advanced.
Therefore, the expansion of the human race's territory has basically stopped at the current stage.
As for the three silicon crystal mines, except for the one in the neutral zone, which is too difficult to obtain, the original mines of "mimicry" and the silicon crystal mines on the Terran side have basically been mined.
Every day trillions of mining robots dig resources, and trillions of engineering robots dig mountains and build roads.
It's no wonder that the mining speed is slow.
As for the basic minerals on the continent of the human race, mining stopped shortly after Zhao Feng returned.
Considering whether this is their own basic disk, or if they have the opportunity to take it away in the future, they did not "dead hands" in resource mining.
On the contrary, the continent where the "mimics" are located on the other side has suffered from devastating exploitation.
The first step is to clear all surface bare mines in one shot.
In the second step, the underground rich ore is directly blasted with a rail gun, and it is blasted into bare ore before digging.
Anyway, after the second stage, the mines here can't be taken away, and it doesn't hurt to destroy some of them.
Are several trillion Lv.5 mining robots making trouble with you?
That thing has combination skills, combined, that is, tens of billions of shield machines are mining.
Shield machine plus destructive mining, this combination of punches, evacuating 1 or 2 rich mines in a day is the same as playing.
Just digging in this way, the base's resources still can't keep up with the [Zhenxing City], which is fully in production.
There is no way, the production cycle of arms is short and consumes a lot of resources, it is inevitable that resources will not be able to keep up.
Fortunately, the energy has been greatly improved, which can be regarded as compensation from other aspects.
After the "Dyson Ring" has been checked and filled by his "energy sense", its production capacity has directly doubled several times.
I have to say that the sense of energy is really strong, he can even set the intensity and cycle of the energy released by the stars.
At the same time, it can also stabilize the state of the star and keep it in a fixed posture. Even if the fuel for the fusion reaction is insufficient, it will not expand outward due to the loss of the magnetic field. Instead, it will gradually reduce the energy according to the steps set by Zhao Feng. level, shrinking inward.
In this way, the superconducting coil on the "Dyson ring" can be completely abandoned.
Even the current "Dyson ring" has completely enclosed artificial stars, forming a theoretical "Dyson sphere"
Not to mention the level of energy collection, directly increased by more than 700%, coupled with the disappearance of the magnetic field produced by the superconducting coil, some sources of interference also disappeared, and the energy absorption rate increased by about 80%.
In addition, miscellaneous improvements, and optimization of some energy pathways.
Originally, the daily production capacity of the nine Dyson rings should have been 146 trillion, but now the energy output has been directly increased by 9%.
The daily production capacity has increased to about 1430 trillion.
This wave of improvement made the manufacturing speed of Guangguang's battleship production line doubled on the spot.
It can be said that because of Zhao Feng's promotion alone, the entire human race followed suit, directly increasing the development speed several times.
In 30 days, besides the first wave of [Conquerors] with a total of 300 ships, they also successfully "launched" at this time.
1500 million all-star soldiers who passed the written examination, simulated confrontation and even actual combat drills also came to the place where they will live in the future.
Similarly, the number of level 6 [Kites] accumulated during this period has reached 2.
With the development of the Terran Air Force during this period, it took off directly on the spot like a hydrogen balloon that was inflated.
