Good Things Take Time: Parallel Worlds
Yu Xiaogang returned to the Immortal Realm Laboratory through the Space-Time Tunnel. He immediately saw a Soul Guidance Robot, about the same size as himself, hanging on a shelf. Its metal shell reflected the laboratory lights.
Yu Xiaogang asked Deep Blue, who was debugging the Space-Time Energy Computer, with a hint of regret:
"Why didn't the Explorer add a layer of camouflage skin to their exteriors? Isn't Deep Blue being too careless to just use it like that? We don't even know what's on the other side of the door, or if there are any humans there. But the metallic skin is pretty cool, though."
Yu Xiaogang took a general look around the Explorer and was quite impressed with Deep Blue's craftsmanship. The outer shell wasn't entirely made of hard metal, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He felt its elasticity and toughness, and Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but marvel. It seemed that Deep Blue had done a lot of research. He would take a good look at the finished products when he had some free time.
Perhaps Yu Xiaogang could discover a little surprise, and just now, his question had made Deep Blue, who was busy working, look up, touch the tip of her nose to make sure there was no dust, and reply:
"Master, there's nothing we can do. Our bionic silicone technology is still in its infancy. After all, we don't need this type of material yet, so we haven't done much research on it. We can only add the most flexible metal as skin for the Explorer. Combined with our very mature Simulation technology, exploring the New Century will be a piece of cake!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement. Even with such finely crafted silicone skin, it still looked quite fake. No matter how realistic it was, various problems would inevitably arise during use. Deep Blue's compromise was still a good one.
After all, his 3D projection virtual technology was quite advanced, so Deep Blue quickly demonstrated it to Yu Xiaogang. Blue ripples began to Qidian on the surface of the Explorer's metallic skin.
The original body Explorer was immediately covered with a layer of realistic skin, and even the clothes were directly transformed. Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but reach out and touch it again, feeling as if he was touching a piece of tough leather. It seemed that it was not a simple 3D projection virtual technology. Deep Blue should have also added soul guide defense shield technology.
"How long can Deep Blue's many Soul Tool and Soul Power Battery last? After all, our Explorer don't have enough energy. I don't want to run out of energy and lose contact after a battle or in the middle of a fight. Although wasting a wisp of Divine Sense is not a big problem for me."
Yu Xiaogang, still conflicted, asked the flying Deep Blue, "After all, I don't have a cold nuclear fusion energy device like Iron Man. This technology was something I and Deep Blue had just developed. I should be able to achieve the futuristic robot effects in those science fiction movies once the technology matures, right?" Hearing Yu Xiaogang's concerns, Deep Blue casually summoned a 3D projection in front of Yu Xiaogang and said smugly, "Master, your concerns are not without merit. However, I have already made a backup plan. The Explorer's internal energy system is divided into two parts: a main energy source and a backup energy source hidden in the Storage Space."
"Fortunately, Master discovered that mysterious spacetime energy deep within your soul, which greatly advanced our spatial technology. Now we can reliably open a permanent portal in our Storage Space, so even during intense battles lasting three days and three nights, it's absolutely no problem."
After Deep Blue finished speaking, she flew happily to the mysterious computer that Yu Xiaogang had just entered and seen fiddling with. She reached out her little hand, patted the computer's casing, and said proudly:
"Master, this is Space-Time Recording Machine that I built by collecting data through connecting to the Soul Guidance Robot. It can record the coordinates and anchor points of every place I explore in another world, so that when I find something worth exploring, I can also record it."
However, our spacetime technology is still too weak, it's only just begun. Data signals can only be collected by connecting ropes, and the data we explore cannot be transmitted back via wires.
This Space-Time Energy Wormhole is too rigid; any contact with the portal generates a tremendous suction force. Even with a connecting tether, the person would be severed by the spacetime portal in less than 38 seconds.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in surprise as he noticed the mountain of ropes made from various materials piled up in the corner of the laboratory. However, they were all broken, and the cuts were very smooth and flat, which made one imagine how sharp the knife formed from time and space must be.
"Thank you for your hard work, Deep Blue. I can't imagine what I would be living without your help. Deep Blue, after all those explorations and experiments, what did you find about the other side of the world?"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang's previously praising, Deep Blue smile gradually froze, becoming quite strange. Finally, he frowned slightly and explained:
"Master, I tested many random coordinates and found that the opposite side was either a void of space or a desolate rocky planet."
The only world where air and life were discovered is similar to our current Douluo Continent, and... and I also discovered Sea Soul Beast. Because the only world with life discovered is so similar to the Douluo Continent, Master, I suspect that what we discovered is not another world, but Parallel World from a different time period.
Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing slightly. He had discovered that the world he found was not another world, but Parallel World of different time periods of the Douluo Continent. It seemed that his and Deep Blue's time travel technology was still too weak to directly open the cosmic barrier of the Douluo World.
"Deep Blue's discovery of Parallel World is a significant finding, laying the foundation for future true travel to other worlds. By the way, is the location of the Space-Time Energy Wormhole for returning after traveling there fixed?"
The little Deep Blue head drooped slightly as it answered dejectedly:
"Not yet, Master. The Parallel World Space-Time Energy Wormhole we've opened can only be opened and closed at fixed locations. However, we can control the access permissions for things that can pass through the Space-Time Energy Wormhole."
After Deep Blue's explanation, Yu Xiaogang casually separated a wisp of his Divine Sense consciousness and Explorer it into the Soul Guidance Computer, which was specially designed for Divine Sense control. Since Deep Blue had not yet broken through the nanotechnology barrier, the Soul Guidance Computer was quite large, about the size of a real human brain, and this was just a single processing chip.
As Yu Xiaogang manipulated his Divine Sense to experience the body of the Explorer robot, the Douluo World, which had been dim in the mysterious cosmic sea space, suddenly lit up slightly.
Originally, the Douluo World barrier was just a dimly lit barrier, but now it has become a series of illusory Parallel World. It's like the River of Time, which originally had only one river, has split into many branches, giving many more options to what was originally a single possible ending.
After all, the Douluo World has remained unchanged for a long time, as can be seen from the dim light in the World Sea. It may soon sink completely and disappear into the boundless World Sea.
Now, Yu Xiaogang's research into Space-Time Energy Wormhole has given the aging Douluo World a powerful boost, providing it with new options. After all, the fact that the Douluo Continent has remained unchanged for millennia shows that this universe is sick.
