An Incredible Visualization Space

Upon entering the building, Lin Ye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The interior of this building is even more spectacular than the exterior.

In the dark space, light shone through countless small holes, all of which were carved into the circular Dome at the top.

As the Dome rotates continuously, it's like a starry sky map is constantly turning.

At the very center of the building, there are several huge copper rings, nested together, which rotate rapidly along with the Dome.

Beneath the metal ring is a massive base carved with nine dragons.

The appearance of this thing immediately reminded Lin Ye of the astronomical instrument from his previous life.

It's just that it's larger and more magnificent than the astronomical instrument model from the previous life.

This is not a creation that should exist in this world!

"Lin Ye, you've finally arrived."

At this moment, Long Yuan stood beneath the enormous astronomical instrument and waved to Lin Ye.

"Elder Long, what's this?"

Lin Ye was still reeling from the shock of the building.

"This is my visualization space," Long Yuan said with a smile. "It's a place specifically for studying the fundamental laws governing this world."

"The instrument behind me is rotating on its own, and the pattern of its rotation must correspond to the world outside the Firmament."

"Isn't this a bit unexpected?"

This was truly beyond Lin Ye's expectations. Lin Ye had always believed that this world was a backward technological wasteland.

But now it seems I was oversimplifying things.

Although, on the surface, this world is far more backward than the previous one in terms of technology and military strength.

But that's not entirely true.

Militarily, this world is backward, but in some aspects it is actually more advanced than the previous Blue Star.

Many things in this world didn't exist on Blue Star in my previous life, such as this strange building and this mysterious instrument.

To be precise, it should actually be described as parallel worlds with different development trajectories.

Suddenly, Lin Ye felt a jolt in his heart!

If this thing in front of us is similar to an astronomical instrument on Blue Star, then it is indeed a very ingenious means of obtaining information about the outside world.

If there were a large Dome covering the Azure Star, it could obscure the real sky, but it could not obscure the influence of the outside world on the Azure Star.

The astronomical instrument will still rotate according to the changes in celestial phenomena in space!

"Lin Ye, I know what you're wondering right now."

"There's plenty of time now, I'll tell you slowly."

Long Yuan patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, gesturing for Lin Ye to follow him forward.

The two entered the interior of the enormous astronomical instrument base one after the other.

"You might be wondering why we have to design and Instance every day, and why all our skills can only be showcased within Instance."

"Since we can master such advanced technology, why not apply it to our real world?"

Lin Ye nodded and replied, "I thought people in this world were used to this kind of life, but now it seems Elder Long shares the same thought as me."

"Yes." Long Yuan sighed deeply.

"When I was your age, I never thought about such profound questions. Back then, I was just thinking about how to successfully challenge other people's Instance and living for points every day."

"But once I reached LV4, without the pressure of attacking Instance, these thoughts naturally came to mind."

"Many times I've had this really awkward feeling, like this Firmament above us is just not in sync with us. The world could function perfectly well without Firmament, but it's the Firmament that turns everyone into slaves to the Instance."

Lin Ye nodded in agreement with Long Yuan's words.

Since he can think so deeply about things, perhaps this old man really can resolve many of my doubts.

"Lin Ye, regarding the Firmament... I'd like to hear your understanding?" Long Yuan asked.

What exactly do you think the Firmament is?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye decided to tell the truth.

"Elder Long, based on my assessment, I believe there are only two possibilities for the Firmament: one is that it's an advanced Artificial Intelligence from an extraterrestrial civilization manipulating Earth through some means."

"Another possibility is that we are actually in a giant Instance, and the Firmament is just a representative of some kind of mechanism."

Lin Ye spoke slowly.

These are the two most scientific guesses he has been able to make so far.

In addition to these, there are some more imaginative speculations, such as the fact that the Firmament is actually a grotto in a fantasy world, or that it is all an illusion.

These ideas were all too outrageous and didn't fit the tone of Azure Star, so Lin Ye ruled them out.

"Of course, this is just my guess. I haven't been designing the Instance for very long, so I have very little information and can only make the simplest speculations."

"Instance are inherently illogical, so the possibilities with Firmament must be beyond my imagination."

After hearing Lin Ye's words, Long Yuan nodded secretly, a very satisfied expression on his face.

"You truly deserve to be called a genius of our Great Xia; your initial guess is almost identical to the results of my ten years of research."

"Haha, it seems I was right. Lin Ye, you are indeed the most likely person to defeat Firmament."

"However... your guesses are all too superficial. I'll tell you all my findings in a moment."

The two stepped into the base of the "astronomical instrument" and were surprised to find an incredibly vast space inside.

The two walked a long, winding road until they finally arrived at a large stone gate.

Long Yuan stopped in his tracks, his expression turning serious.

"Lin Ye, you might be shocked and uncomfortable after I open this door."

"But you must know that this is merely the effort we, the high-level Azure Star people, have made for this world."

With that, Long Yuan pushed open the door.

When Lin Ye saw the scene behind the gate, his eyes widened in shock!

"Oh my god."

Behind that heavy, hidden door lies a small, mysterious secret chamber.

Inside the secret room, there was an enormous instrument, resembling a high-tech computer.

At one end of this giant computer is an enormous screen, which is not only a carrier of information but also a window to another world, flashing dazzling code and data as if telling the deepest secrets of the Universe.

At the other end, it was strangely connected to an object that was over two meters tall and had a bizarre shape, resembling a culture chamber.

Inside the culture chamber was a transparent and eerie liquid that shimmered with a faint blue light under the dim light, like strange waters in the deep sea.

Even more shockingly, a girl's naked body was submerged in this liquid. She floated quietly within it, her posture serene, as if she were asleep in another dream.

After the computer's wiring penetrated into the culture chamber, it branched out into countless finer wires, all connecting to the girl's brain!
