This was no surprise. Lin Zhichen had already discovered that although a warship's internal structure and outer appearance remained the same after energy conversion, its properties were completely different in every respect.
"What about the difficulty of refining it?" he asked.
"Under normal circumstances, it depends on an object's size and total mass. The more powerful the Psionicist, the easier and faster the refinement," Trajan replied.

The Instance World held more than just the Supreme Pure Spirit Treasure True Scripture. After the Maoshan Sect pledged its allegiance, it gradually contributed its other cultivation texts as well, making them part of the Empire's collection of cultivation resources.
Lin Zhichen fell silent for a moment. He could picture it: the legendary trick of scattering beans to summon soldiers had become reality with such ease.

"We still need to achieve Universal Psionic Ascension first."
It was an almost impossible task. The ongoing population expansion plans meant that the populations of both NPCs and the Imperium of Man
