Neutron Star

Chen Feng patted Li Xiaorou on the shoulder:

"Sit down and talk; there are other people around."

Li Xiaorou glanced around; many of the base's employees were watching them from inside the coffee shop.

Each of them showed a look of curiosity.

"So what if there are people here? I don't care." Li Xiaorou's face was flushed, but she still didn't let go of Chen Feng.

"I'll take you sightseeing later, is that alright?" Chen Feng said softly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaorou immediately beamed with joy:

"I want to go to Mars. I heard they're building a new space city there, and I've always wanted to go see it."

"Okay." Chen Feng nodded in agreement immediately.

The crisis in the Xuanhuang Realm has now been temporarily resolved.

As long as the Three Saints Sect doesn't discover the spatial rift inside the Haotian Secret Realm, there will be no danger on Earth. This is a good time for him to relax, since he hasn't had a rest in a long time.

The monotonous cultivation life was not what Chen Feng wanted; he preferred a simple and peaceful life.

Hearing Chen Feng's agreement, Li Xiaorou Chen Feng released her grip on him, satisfied.

After Chen Feng sat down, he looked at Lin Wei and said in surprise:

"You've reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. Your cultivation has been quite rapid."

Although he knew Lin Wei cultivated quickly, Chen Feng was still somewhat surprised that she had reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection in just two years.

"It's all thanks to the pills you gave me; otherwise, how could I have broken through so quickly?"

Lin Wei, however, didn't think much of it. After all, she had very little contact with cultivators, and most of the time she used Chen Feng as a reference.

Compared to Chen Feng, she felt that her cultivation speed was not fast.

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"The pills are secondary; the key is your own effort. When do you plan to break through to the Spirit Transformation?"

Although the pills he gave were good, even if someone from the Xingfeng Sect took them, they wouldn't be able to cultivate as quickly as Lin Wei.

Upon hearing that she had broken through to the Spirit Transformation, Lin Wei hesitated.

I feel my State of Mind isn't right.

"That's true. The later you go, the higher the requirements for your State of Mind become. You should take a few more years to settle down." Chen Feng nodded.

Li Xiaorou suddenly asked:

"Boss, are you and Sister Lin Wei going to live for thousands of years?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei's smile vanished instantly, and she then offered words of comfort:

"Xiaorou, don't worry, we've developed consciousness transfer technology. Even when your lifespan ends, you can live in a mechanical body."

Li Xiaorou is just a mortal, without the aptitude for cultivation. Even if she takes elixirs, her lifespan will be at most a little over a hundred years.

Therefore, Lin Wei rarely brought up the topic of cultivation in front of Li Xiaorou, for fear that Li Xiaorou would overthink it.

Li Xiaorou managed a weak smile:

"I know, I was just asking out of curiosity."

Lin Wei didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only look at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng looked at Li Xiaorou and said:

"You couldn't cultivate before, but now you have an opportunity. I wonder if you'd like to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou were both taken aback. Li Xiaorou immediately exclaimed with delight:

"Boss, are you serious?"

Although she had always said she didn't care, it was all an act.

The thought of dying a hundred years from now and no longer being able to be with Chen Feng makes her extremely sad.

Although consciousness transplantation technology exists now, in Li Xiaorou's mind, if she were to have a mechanical body, she wouldn't be herself anymore.

"Cultivating immortality is temporarily out of the question, but practicing martial arts is still possible. I've obtained a new martial arts system. As long as you can cultivate it to the highest level, living for five or six hundred years won't be a problem."

The new martial arts system that Chen Feng mentioned was naturally the martial arts system he obtained from the Xuanhuang Realm.

In that world, the highest level of martial arts cultivation could reach was Martial Immortal.

The lifespan of a Martial Immortal is five hundred years, which is already extremely long.

Lin Wei immediately laughed, "Xiaorou, five hundred years is enough time. With his abilities, he will definitely find a way to extend your lifespan later."

Lin Wei was also very happy to see that Li Xiaorou had resolved her lifespan issue.

Li Xiaorou's eyes were red and teary, and she threw herself into Chen Feng again. "Boss."

"Alright, alright, stop crying. Why are you still acting like a little kid?" Chen Feng looked at Li Xiaorou, who was sobbing uncontrollably in his arms, and felt helpless.

After some comforting, Li Xiaorou finally calmed down and asked with red eyes:

"Boss, how do I cultivate?"

Chen Feng waved his right hand, and dozens of Jade Slip appeared on the table.

"The Cultivation Method are all here; you can practice them all. Later, you can ask Lin Wei to help you copy them."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaorou immediately looked at Lin Wei: "Sister Lin Wei, is it okay now?"

Clearly, Li Xiaorou couldn't wait a moment longer.

Lin Wei knew the other party was anxious, so she immediately took the Jade Slip and began to examine it.

After reading it, she took out her phone and sent the contents of the Jade Slip to Li Xiaorou.

Li Xiaorou eagerly looked at the content on her phone, her expression very serious.

Originally, she wasn't very interested in cultivation.

But after learning that Chen Feng and Lin Wei were already cultivators, she really hoped that she could also cultivate. Now that she finally had the opportunity, she naturally cherished it very much.

Seeing that Li Xiaorou was carefully studying the Cultivation Method, Chen Feng and Lin Wei did not disturb her.

Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei and said:

"Take these Jade Slip slips to Jack and the others later, and tell them to cultivate as well. However, the spiritual energy on Earth is currently very scarce, so it will take some time before they can break through to a higher realm."

He doesn't have a cultivator's Primordial Spirit in him right now, so he can't replenish the Earth's vital energy; he'll have to do that later.

"Okay." Lin Wei put away the Jade Slip on the table.

Chen Feng then asked, "By the way, what progress have you made in the past two years?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask. See for yourself." Lin Wei handed her phone to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took the phone; it contained a research report covering multiple aspects.

Chen Feng has never given up on science and technology.

He has always believed that as technology advances, it will certainly not be weaker than cultivating immortality.

The beginning of this research report isn't particularly impressive; it mainly focuses on technologies related to people's livelihoods.

Chen Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the research related to vital energy.

Over the past two years, Harvey and his team have discovered the properties of Vitality, which has enabled them to create many valuable items.

The first step is the creation of antimatter.

Previously, antimatter could only be produced by colliding space-based weapons.

Now, it's not that complicated anymore.

Harvey developed a device that can directly produce antimatter simply by adding elemental stones.

Its principle is to compress primordial energy and allow it to collide with each other to produce antimatter.

This equipment can produce one gram of antimatter in just a few seconds, and each time it only consumes one hundred elemental stones.

The ability to manufacture this device relies not only on vital energy, but also on several special materials.

Some of these materials came from the Painting Scroll World, while others came from trade with the Moro tribe.

This is a new technology resulting from the combination of two civilization systems.

After the problem of antimatter production was solved, Tosen has also developed several new antimatter weapons in the past two years.

The Star Destroyer Cannon has also been improved to a second generation.

The second-generation planet-destroying cannon has doubled in power and range compared to the first generation, and its cooldown time has also been greatly shortened.

However, these were not what Chen Feng cared about most.

His gaze fell upon the last research finding.

Warp drive.

The results report recorded a test of the warp drive.

The experiment took place in July of last year, and the report clearly stated that the experiment was successful.

The spaceship, equipped with a warp drive, successfully started up and traveled a distance of six million kilometers in less than a second.

Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei in surprise and asked:

"The warp drive was successful?"

Warp drives can achieve faster-than-light travel.

If this is realized, it would mean they have the ability to explore surrounding star systems.

This is just the value of exploration. If warships with warp engines are built in the future, the strength of the Xingfeng Sect will be enhanced to a higher level.

In the Painting Scroll World, only those ancient monsters who have reached the Dao level can barely achieve faster-than-light travel.

However, that kind of faster-than-light speed is not true faster-than-light speed.

The reason why cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm can move so quickly is because they enter the Void Realm to move, where time is almost suspended.

The cultivators who had reached the Dao were traveling within the Void Realm, so little time had passed in the existing universe.

That's why it gives people the illusion of faster than light.

However, moving within the Sky Realm is a very risky thing.

The Void Realm is incredibly strange, with terrifying spacetime distortions occurring at any time.

Such a distortion of spacetime would be absolutely fatal even to a cultivator at the Dao Integration stage.

Therefore, most cultivators who have reached the Dao realm stay in one place and dare not move around after entering the Void Realm.

Unless absolutely necessary, one would not dare to move a long distance easily.

However, the warp drive is different. It directly creates a spacetime bubble in the existing universe and achieves faster-than-light travel by stretching spacetime. This kind of travel is risk-free.

Chen Feng originally thought that it would take at least a hundred years to realize this technology.

To my surprise, it was achieved so quickly.

Lin Wei shook her head and said:

"This is just the first experiment; mass production is still a long way off. In the last experiment, we compressed several kilograms of antimatter to create a spacetime bubble, but such a spacetime bubble couldn't be maintained for long because the engine's materials were completely destroyed six seconds after the spacetime bubble formed."

Chen Feng frowned. "None of the materials will work?"

The materials he gave Lin Wei included some of the most advanced in the Painting Scroll World, some of which were even used to forge Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.

"No, we've tried everything, none of those materials can withstand it."

Chen Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

The best materials in the Nine Star Domains are currently Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures and Immortal Artifacts.

If a celestial treasure won't work, then it has to be a celestial artifact.

There are only two immortal artifacts in the entire Xingfeng Sect: one is Yinyin's conch shell, and the other is his Immortal-Slaying Sword.

He would never use these two treasures for experiments.

Seashells are capable of moving planets, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword is related to the combat power of the Immortal Corpse Puppet.

"Leave the materials to me, I'll look for them later," Chen Feng said.

The universe is so vast; he doesn't believe there aren't better materials in it.

He now has more than just the Painting Scroll World as a source of materials.

The Moro Clan and the Xuanhuang Realm might have even better materials.

Lin Wei seemed to have thought of something, and then said:

"I know of a material that should be able to withstand the annihilation of highly concentrated antimatter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was surprised:

What materials?

Lin Wei looked out at the dark space of space and then slowly uttered three words: "Neutron star."

"Neutron star?" Chen Feng had naturally heard of this celestial body.

This thing is a special celestial body formed by a supernova explosion, and its density can only be described as terrifying.

Each cubic centimeter alone weighs hundreds of millions of tons!

Neutron stars are also considered to be the densest matter in the universe besides black holes.

Lin Wei nodded. "That's right, it's the most suitable material I can think of right now. With the hardness of a neutron star, it can definitely withstand the terrifying energy inside the warp drive."

"Where is the nearest neutron star to us?" Chen Feng stood up and asked.

Since there's a way, we should try it.

With a spaceship powered by a warp drive, he no longer needed to worry about safety even if he left the teleportation range of the scroll.

Lin Wei scrolled through her phone for a moment, then said, "It's in Corona Australis, about four hundred light-years away from us."

Hearing this, Chen Feng sat down again.

Four hundred light-years, that's really far.

Even an antimatter warship would need hundreds of years to reach that place, so he simply cannot go there now.

"It's too far, we can't go for now," Chen Feng sighed helplessly.

Lin Wei said with a smile:

"No rush, take your time. By the way, how's the situation at the Haotian Secret Realm?"

Chen Feng didn't hide anything and immediately recounted how he had gone to the Xuanhuang Realm through the spatial rift.

Chen Feng still trusted the two women.

Moreover, the Xuanhuang Realm does not involve the painting; it is a world he entered through a spatial rift in the Haotian Secret Realm, so there is nothing he cannot say.

Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou were both stunned by what they heard.

Whether it's the Xuanhuang Realm or the Three Saints Sect, it's undoubtedly a very novel thing for people like Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou who have lived in the modern world for a long time.

Li Xiaorou's mouth dropped open in surprise:

"So there really is a world of cultivation, and it's so close to us! Boss, can you take me to see it?"

Lin Wei, standing beside him, also looked at Chen Feng with expectant eyes.

This kind of world, which only exists in novels, is something that everyone is curious about.

They found it particularly interesting when Chen Feng talked about what happened within the Three Saints Sect.

Chen Feng shook his head. "Not yet. My current identity is also a disguise. Once exposed, not only will we be in danger, but the Earth will also be immediately plunged into danger."

Li Xiaorou sighed, "Fine, I really want to go see those fairies."

Lin Wei then joked, "So, you not only have an older sister now, but also an aunt?"

Li Xiaorou also came to her senses and looked at Chen Feng:

"Boss, are your aunt and sister pretty?"

Seeing the two women gossiping, Chen Feng said seriously:

"That was a disguise. If those two knew I had locked up the real Wang Ping, they'd probably fight me to the death."

Li Xiaorou giggled:

"That's not necessarily true. My boss is so charming. Maybe if they found out who you are, they wouldn't blame you at all, but would actually fall for you. Isn't that how it's always written in novels?"
