New Research

The modern world.

At the lunar orbit.

A space carrier has stopped near the orbit.

Harvey and Lin Wei are standing here on this space carrier.

There are also two space-based weapons on the mothership.

At this moment, several staff members are using equipment to send the two space-based weapons into lunar orbit.

Harvey said to Lin Wei:

"Professor Lin, the number of space-based weapons is still too small. According to our team's plan, at least one hundred space-based weapons need to be installed on each planet to be considered as having the initial capability for planetary defense."

Harvey has been extremely busy lately, as he not only has to plan the construction of the lunar base but also improve the planetary defense system.

For the past month, he has been leading his team back and forth between Earth and the Moon.

The reason it only travels between Earth and the Moon, and not to other planets, is because the solar system is too large.

Although space carriers are very fast, they are nothing compared to the vast solar system.

Therefore, planetary defenses are currently only deployed on the Moon and Earth.

Lin Wei shook her head. "Do you think space-based weapons are so easy to build? Right now, the focus is still on building ground-based strike capabilities; orbital weapons have to be put on hold for the time being."

Harvey sighed, "Alas, although missiles can reach speeds of tens of Mach in space, that speed is still too slow, far less convenient than space-based weapons."

There are now numerous missile silos on the moon.

These missile silos are equipped with Dongfeng-41 intercontinental ballistic missiles from Dragon Country.

But a missile is still a missile; in space, kinetic weapons are the most effective.

"Take it slow. I'll ask him about the space-based weapons later." Lin Wei was referring to Chen Feng, of course.

Chen Feng has always been in charge of the production of space-based weapons, and Lin Wei can only wait for Chen Feng to return to ask him about it.

Harvey then asked:

"I heard that Tuosen has already researched antimatter energy. Is there any progress in the research?"

Lin Wei nodded. "There has indeed been some progress, but antimatter requires special materials to confine it, and currently we are only conducting theoretical research."

"Hopefully, that guy Tuosen can get the antimatter spaceship out soon. With that thing, we'll finally be able to move freely throughout the solar system."

Harvey couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

While the two were talking, the two space-based weapons were successfully launched into orbit.

After seeing the two space-based weapons enter orbit, Lin Wei used her spiritual sense to activate the concealment arrays on the space-based weapons.

The surfaces of the two space-based weapons immediately began to flash with starlight before disappearing from everyone's sight.

Harvey exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."

Although Harvey had witnessed many extraordinary feats, the sudden disappearance of the two massive space-based weapons in front of him still shocked him.

"There's an array engraved on it, which is why it can remain invisible," Lin Wei explained.

Harvey nodded. "Array formation, is that the kind of book Professor Chen brought over? I didn't expect it to have this kind of effect."

Harvey knew about formations.

Chen Feng brought many classic texts on cultivation from the Painting Scroll World.

Harvey didn't bother to study this formation, because it was too complex.

Just then, a staff member jogged up to Lin Wei:

"Professor Lin, Professor Chen is back?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei's eyes lit up. "Where is he?"

"Currently at Professor Tosen's research institute."

Harvey, who was standing next to Lin Wei, said, "Professor Lin, you can leave this to me. You go see Professor Chen."

Lin Wei nodded. "Okay, let me know if you have any problems."

Lin Wei then boarded a separate aircraft and headed back to the moon.

This aircraft was developed by Harvey and his team, and it uses fusion batteries as its power source.

While it can't match the speed of a space carrier, it's more convenient.

Topson Research Institute.

Chen Feng was listening to Tuo Sen recount his recent research findings.

"Professor Chen, this is our latest antimatter engine design. What do you think?"

Tuo Sen was standing in front of a large screen, introducing himself to Chen Feng.

On the large screen, there was a three-dimensional image with a very complex internal structure.

Chen Feng asked, "Is it just a PowerPoint presentation?"

Upon hearing this, Tuo Sen felt a little embarrassed. "Hehe, this is just the beginning. Next, we'll start construction."

Tuosen was also helpless; antimatter was more difficult to handle than he had imagined.

After all, this is a completely new type of energy, and studying it is very complex.

The reason they were able to develop fusion engines so quickly is that fusion engines are simply ordinary engines with the addition of fusion batteries, so designing them isn't very difficult.

But antimatter power is completely different; it's like planting a whole new technology tree.

Its internal structure needs to be redesigned.

Chen Feng then took out a pile of spatial materials from his storage ring:

"These are the space materials I recently collected. You can experiment with them and see which material is suitable for storing antimatter."

Upon hearing this, Tuosen's eyes lit up. He quickly ran to Chen Feng and began to examine the spatial materials that Chen Feng had taken out.

These spatial materials were all acquired by Chen Feng on Xuanxiao Star; he bought almost every spatial material available on the market.

The most precious of them all is the Void Sand, of which there are only five taels in total.

"Professor Chen! I'm going to conduct an antimatter experiment in a bit!" Tuo Sen was very excited.

The reason his research hadn't progressed during this period was due to issues with the materials.

Now that Chen Feng has sent over so many spatial materials, Tuosen is eager to start experimenting.

Chen Feng instructed:

"These materials cannot be melted by simple means. You should have Lin Wei with you."

Things related to space are beyond the understanding of an ordinary person like Tuosen.

The participation of cultivators is required.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from outside:

"You only think of me when you're doing research, but you didn't even tell me you were coming back."

Then, Lin Wei, wearing a white lab coat and glasses, walked in.

As soon as she entered, Lin Wei rolled her eyes at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng looked Lin Wei up and down, somewhat surprised:

"Foundation Establishment Perfection? You're preparing to form your Core."

Lin Wei smiled faintly:

"Yes, I plan to attempt Core Formation this month."

Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei with a complicated expression. He knew that Lin Wei was not someone who liked cultivation very much.

The main reason Lin Wei changed was because a spatial rift appeared on Earth.

Lin Wei was clearly also starting to feel a sense of crisis.

"Let's go outside and talk."

Chen Feng then took Lin Wei and left Tuosen's laboratory.

Tuo Sen didn't care at all about Chen Feng and Lin Wei leaving; he was completely captivated by the spatial materials Chen Feng had taken out.

At the lunar base.

Chen Feng and Lin Wei walked slowly.

"Take this bottle of pills. Taking them when you break through will increase your chances of forming your core." Chen Feng took out a bottle of pills.

Lin Wei smiled wryly and said, "You've already given me a lot of pills before."

"It's different. This pill can increase your chances of forming your core, and forming your core is no small matter. You must be careful," Chen Feng said seriously.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Lin Wei did not hesitate and immediately accepted the pill.

She looked at Chen Feng: "You seem a bit off today. Is something wrong?"

Lin Wei could sense Chen Feng's emotional change; Chen Feng seemed rather sullen today.

"I'm about to break through." Chen Feng explained that he was about to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

Lin Wei asked with a serious expression, "Will there be any danger?"

Lin Wei is no longer a novice in cultivation; she understands very well that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through, and at the same time, the greater the danger.

Many high-level cultivators who fail to break through will not only drop in cultivation level, but their foundation will also be affected.

However, that's not the worst part.

The most terrifying thing is the tribulation of inner demons; the higher the realm, the more terrifying the tribulation of inner demons becomes.

Chen Feng smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I'm at least 80% sure."

Chen Feng estimated that he was 80% certain.

This is actually quite extraordinary. You should know that even some prodigies from major stars wouldn't dare to say that they have an 80% chance of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

There are several reasons why Chen Feng was so confident.

First is the Starry Sky Body Refining Cultivation Method, which is extremely difficult to Cultivation Method because it requires star energy.

Moreover, each realm requires undergoing a heavenly tribulation that is more difficult than that of ordinary people.

However, this Cultivation Method also has great advantages. By using stellar energy to refine the body and spirit, it can greatly increase the probability of a cultivator breaking through to a higher realm.

Moreover, Chen Feng can undergo the Heavenly Tribulation in the modern world, which is much less risky than in the Painting Scroll World.

In addition, he also possesses four Spirit Transformation artifacts and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, a modern technological aid.

Only with so many conditions combined can his chances of breaking through increase to 80%.

"Can't it be 100%?" Lin Wei didn't smile when she heard that, but instead looked very worried.

As a scientist, anything that isn't 100% certain is unsafe for her.

"One hundred percent? That's probably only achievable by a legendary reincarnation of an immortal. My breakthrough this time will take a long time, so I'll leave the modern world in your care. Here, take this."

Chen Feng took out three golden talismans from his person.

"What are these?" Lin Wei asked, somewhat curious, as she looked at the three golden talismans.

"These three talismans are all at the Spirit Transformation level. Even if someone is at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, you can easily kill them by releasing these talismans," Chen Feng explained the power of the talismans.

These three Spirit Transformation level talismans are the spoils of war that Chen Feng has acquired over the years.

Even during the battle with the demon god, Chen Feng had never used these three talismans.

Because this item is extremely precious, not many Spirit Transformation cultivators would be willing to refine such a talisman.

Because refining such talismans is extremely harmful to Spirit Transformation cultivators.

As for other powerful treasures, Chen Feng also possessed them, but Lin Wei's cultivation level was too low to use them at all.

Only talismans are the most suitable.

Lin Wei did not refuse, but accepted the talisman:

"Alright, how long will it take you to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage this time?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "I don't know, it could be a few months, or it could be a year."

The modern world and the Painting Scroll World are ten times different in time.

Chen Feng was referring to one year in the modern world, which is equivalent to a hundred years in the Painting Scroll World.

The reason it takes so long is because he needs to go to the Heavenly Illusion Pool to experience the illusion.

The illusionary realm level depends entirely on the cultivator's own temperament, and it usually takes a very long time.

"So long?" Lin Wei's expression changed slightly.

"Anyway, I won't be back anytime soon."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here, nothing will happen." Lin Wei didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, please help out with Tuosen's research. Space materials are beyond his understanding. I'll be going now."

After explaining everything, Chen Feng prepared to leave.

But then, Lin Wei suddenly said, "Wait a minute, do you remember when I told you I had a new research result?"

Chen Feng thought about it and realized that Lin Wei had indeed mentioned last time that she was conducting a new study.

He asked Lin Wei about it at the time, but Lin Wei didn't answer.

"What research?" Chen Feng asked.

Lin Wei gave a mysterious smile and said, "Take him back to Earth."

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't ask any further questions. He immediately took Lin Wei and transformed into a beam of light, speeding towards Earth.

Chen Feng's current maximum speed in space can reach Mach 300.

This is also because there is no air resistance in space.

If he were inside a planet, he wouldn't be able to travel this fast.

After reaching the Spirit Transformation, this speed will increase by dozens of times.

Because Spirit Transformation cultivators are already able to communicate with the primordial energy in the universe, allowing that energy to increase their speed.

In less than an hour, Chen Feng brought Lin Wei back to Earth.

The two appeared at a manor in the Golden Triangle.

Upon returning, Chen Feng immediately turned his gaze to a certain direction within the manor.

Lin Wei also noticed Chen Feng Chen Feng's gaze, and she immediately looked in the same direction.

She quickly found out what Chen Feng was looking at.

It was in the courtyard of a villa.

Several people were sitting cross-legged, silently cultivating.

Xiao Ning and Yang Fuqiang were among them.

The other few people were mortals with Spirit Root who had just arrived in the Golden Triangle recently.

Among these people, Xiao Ning has the highest cultivation level, having reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, while Yang Fuqiang has the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

As for the others, they were only at the first or second level of Qi Refining.

Lin Wei said, "I heard from Xiaorou that Xiao Ning has been leading these people in cultivation during this period, especially Xiao Ning, who has been cultivating very diligently, basically spending all her time cultivating except when sleeping."

Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad."

Chen Feng valued those with Spirit Root highly.

He will no longer be on Earth, and these people will become the most important part of Earth's defense forces in the future.

The reason these people can cultivate so quickly is because they have abundant Cultivation Resources.

Chen Feng is now considered a powerful figure in his own right.

It's not difficult to help some low-level cultivators grow quickly.

This is the advantage of having powerful backers.

In the past, Chen Feng could only rely on himself to obtain resources for cultivation, and those were the most difficult days.

"Shall we go take a look?" Lin Wei asked.

Chen Feng shook his head. "No, there's nothing to see."

These people are only beginners now; they will only be of some use once they reach the Foundation Establishment.

Chen Feng had no intention of disturbing these people's cultivation.

"We're on Earth now. Can you tell me your research findings?" Chen Feng asked Lin Wei.

Lin Wei chuckled, "Don't rush, come with me first."

Lin Wei immediately led Chen Feng deeper into the manor.
