In this coordinate-less galaxy, the fluctuations of hundreds of millions of planets were obscured. Space membranes drifted like gauze across every region where spatial fluctuations existed.
Under the effect of these "interstellar veils," all spatial coordinates vanished, and the navigation systems of any ships entering them would fail.
For interstellar travel, this was an extremely terrifying prospect.
However, when Gao Gong entered, his nanobody suddenly emitted streaks of mechanical divine light. Like a "lighthouse," it illuminated the dark Engine One galaxy.
This radiance was different from the fruit-light of the "Carbon-Based Fruit."
But as this radiance lit up, planet after planet—whether stars, planets, or satellites—suddenly vanished.
This was different from the concealment of energy fluctuations earlier.
It felt as if an even deeper cosmic rule were replaying itself.
After the last planet "vanished," a "technology tree" grew out of the universe.
It was an incomparably massive mechanical tree. Its roots pierced into the fabric of space, while its crown seemed poised to break through the entire three-dimensional cosmos.
The entire technology tree was submerged in a deep, pulsating red glow. This light was not mere illumination; its essence consisted of countless flowing miniature equations. Dark-red data streams, hot as molten iron, surged between the branches and forks. Each pulse corresponded to the intake and output cycle of a hyperdimensional calculation.
Moreover, this was a luxuriant mechanical tree, with tens of millions of mechanical-system blueprints transformed into leaves and treetops.
Every branch representing a "professional knowledge chain" was covered in dense buds and twigs, and some branches even bore clusters of abundant fruit.
This represented a developed industrial field, an outstanding series of mechanical equipment, or even the tide of an industrial revolution.
"It feels about right."
Gao Gong drew a deep breath.
In the next moment, his nanobody melted instantly,
