Return to Mount Tai!

Lin Wei looked at the excited crowd:

"Don't get too excited yet; everything depends on what Tuosen achieves."

Although Lin Wei said that, she was still very much looking forward to it.

She knew that Chen Feng was going through a very dangerous time in that Xuanhuang Realm, and if they could build a warp drive spaceship, it would be of great help to Chen Feng.

At least Chen Feng's life won't be in danger in that world.

Just then, Chen Feng suddenly appeared in the room. No one was too surprised to see Chen Feng.

Because they had become accustomed to Chen Feng's uncanny ability to suddenly disappear and reappear.

Professor Chen!

"Hello, Professor Chen."

Harvey and the others greeted them warmly.

Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei and asked, "Did you succeed?"

Lin Wei smiled slightly, "It's not certain yet. I just wanted you to come and take a look, so you can be a witness if it's successful. I hope I haven't bothered you."

"No, I've almost finished dealing with things on my end. By the way, has anything happened on Earth lately?" Chen Feng asked instead.

"No, everything is normal," Lin Wei said, referring to the situation on Earth.

The space race continues among nations, and nearly half of the planets in our solar system now bear human footprints.

The number of extraordinary individuals on Earth is increasing at an alarming rate every day.

As the number of superhumans increases, many cases of superhumans disrupting society have emerged around the world.

However, these cases were all small in scale, and some of the extraordinary individuals who violated laws and regulations were quickly suppressed by various countries.

With Xiao Ning and others keeping watch on Earth, nothing major happened.

Just as they were talking, Tuo Sen's voice suddenly came through the communicator:

"Hahaha! It worked! It worked!"

As Tuosen's voice rang out, everyone in the observation room perked up.

Harvey immediately asked, "Torsen, is it ready?"

"Yes, we can assemble it now. Would you like to take a look first?" Tuosen's voice trembled.

"Look, of course we want to see! Quick, turn the screen around!" Harvey immediately said.

Tuosen didn't say anything more and immediately broadcast the footage from the engineering base.

The construction of a warp drive cannot tolerate any interference from signal sources, so the situation at the engineering base was unknown to everyone.

Now that it's been manufactured, it can naturally transmit the images from inside.

Soon, the screen in the observation room displayed an image, showing a huge device.

This is a circular device nearly twenty meters high, and its entire body is dark yellow.

The inside of the ring is covered with a dense array of quantum sensors and energy injection ports, resembling a silent, giant metal ring. The integrated wiring alone is as complex as the human blood vessels.

Harvey's shocked voice rang out:

"Was the main material truly crafted from that piece of Xuanhuang Crystal?"

It's no wonder Harvey was so shocked; such a massive engine unit must weigh at least tens of thousands of tons, while the Xuanhuang Crystal they had seen before was only the size of a single bead.

"That's right, the melted Xuanhuang crystal has excellent ductility, and we completed the main structure construction smoothly. Professor Chen, Professor Lin, may we begin assembly now?"

Tuo Sen looked at Chen Feng and Lin Wei through the screen and asked them a question.

Chen Feng nodded. "Okay, let's begin."

He also looked forward to the success of the first warp drive spacecraft.

Upon receiving Chen Feng's order, the warp drive unit within the engineering base immediately began to move.

There is a huge sliding rail device under the engine, which was obviously prepared in advance.

The base gates slowly opened at that moment, and the engine was pushed out by the rails.

A special spaceship was parked in front of the base gate.

The spaceship is only about three kilometers long and has a streamlined, spindle-shaped design. What is most attractive is the metal on its surface, which has an extremely smooth, mirror-like finish.

This mirror even reflects the surrounding starry sky, as if it has merged with the surrounding starry sky.

If it weren't for the fact that a huge compartment had opened up beneath the spaceship, it would be difficult to even realize that it was a spaceship.

Lin Wei explained to Chen Feng:

"This spaceship, equipped with a warp drive, was built using a material called 'pure gold,' which we acquired from the Moro tribe in a previous trade."

"Its characteristics include extreme smoothness, reflecting 90% of the light in the universe, and also excellent hardness."

"Well, you can think of it as the droplet from the science fiction novel 'The Three-Body Problem.' Structurally, it's a bit less perfect than a droplet, but roughly the same."

After hearing Lin Wei's explanation, Chen Feng immediately spread his Divine Sense to investigate.

When his Divine Sense came into contact with the spaceship, he discovered that a portion of his Divine Sense had bypassed the spaceship, which surprised Chen Feng.

It should be noted that his Divine Sense strength was already comparable to that of an old monster at the third step of the Dao Integration stage.

In other words, this pure gold not only possesses inherent concealment, but can even evade Divine Sense.

"What price does this material, Pure Gold, fetch among the Moro tribe?" Chen Feng asked.

"One ton of pure gold costs approximately 100,000 Moro coins," Lin Wei replied.

Chen Feng was somewhat taken aback. "One ton for 100,000 Moro coins?"

It's no wonder Chen Feng was astonished, because he could sell a Nascent Soul level Divine Ability technique to the Moro Clan for 100,000 Moro coins.

In other words, a Nascent Soul level Divine Ability power can be exchanged for a ton of this rare material called Pure Gold.

It should be understood that treasures capable of shielding ordinary Dao Integration cultivators from Divine Sense detection are priceless treasures in the Painting Scroll World.

The Moro tribe sold it to them for a pittance.

Lin Wei nodded. "Yes, this metal comes from a star system controlled by the Moro Clan. They produce some every year. The Moro Clan isn't very knowledgeable about materials science. Although pure gold is precious, they use it to forge weapons for their warriors, so its value is relatively low."

Chen Feng now feels that his decision to trade with the Moro tribe was a wise one.

Things that are commonplace in the cultivation world can fetch astronomical prices in the Moro Clan.

Materials that are very precious in the cultivation world are extremely cheap in the Moro tribe, and the profits from this information gap are enormous.

Moreover, the Moro tribe must have other rare materials; the list they gave him last time didn't include pure gold.

It was clearly because the Moro tribe had cooperated with them multiple times that the other party offered this rare material for trade.

"Fighting and killing are nothing compared to the stability of being a middleman," Chen Feng thought to himself.

He preferred the life of a middleman to fighting with other people.

Unfortunately, he wanted to lie low and become a black marketeer, but his enemies wouldn't let him just stay put.

Trading between the two worlds can bring enormous profits, and as long as there are enormous profits, they will inevitably attract attention.

"It's started." At this moment, Lin Wei reminded her from the side.

Chen Feng immediately focused his attention on the screen.

The warp drive ring had been propelled into the spacecraft's cabin.

The spacecraft compartments were pre-designed and contained mechanical latches.

Once the device entered the compartment, it was immediately locked in place by mechanical latches, and the installation process took less than five minutes.

With the lower hatch closing, the first warp drive spacecraft was officially completed.

"Professor Chen, can we start it now?" Tuo Sen's excited voice came through.

The others were also watching Chen Feng, awaiting his orders.

Although they had simulated it many times before, this was their first real experiment, and every experiment carries risks.

If they fail, all their hard work over this period of time will be wasted.

"Let's begin," Chen Feng said calmly.

As his voice faded, Taiichi's voice rang out in the observation room.

"Checking permission commands."

"Detection complete, identity and permissions met, preparing for warp drive startup."

"Ten, nine, eight"

Taiyi's mechanical voice echoed in everyone's ears.

The warp drive spaceship could not be operated by humans on its first startup; instead, it was handed over to Taiyi for remote control.

After all, no one knows if there will be any unexpected problems on the first startup.

If someone were to control the spaceship from inside, and the spaceship were to disintegrate, then all would be lost.

"Three, two, one!"

"Warp drive core preheating complete, superconducting ring in place, warp bubble generation in progress!"

As Taiyi's voice rang out, the distant spaceship stirred.

The space around the spaceship began to distort rapidly.

The distortion had made it impossible for anyone to clearly see the shape of the spaceship.

Immediately afterwards, a semi-transparent spherical light membrane suddenly exploded from the center of the spaceship, and then enveloped the entire spaceship at an extremely fast speed.

"Warp bubble generation complete, initiating jump!" Taiyi's voice rang out at that moment.

Everyone held their breath and watched intently, afraid of missing a single second.

Last time, they failed at the warp drive because the warp drive couldn't withstand the energy surge during the warp.

This time they used new materials.

Just then, the spaceship enveloped in the warp bubble changed again.

The surrounding starlight was stretched and distorted at that moment, then transformed into a thin ribbon of light that encircled the spaceship.

The next second, the spaceship disappeared from everyone's sight, and the starry sky returned to calm.

Of all those present, Chen Feng was the only one who clearly saw how the spaceship disappeared.

With his powerful Divine Sense, he perceived that the spacetime around the spaceship had been stretched.

It was this stretching that instantly propelled the spaceship to an extremely long distance.

Just then, Harvey's voice suddenly came:

"Look here, the spaceship is already nine million kilometers away from us!"

Harvey was staring intently at the monitoring screen on the other side.

Above is a star map of the solar system, with a single point of light within it, representing a warp drive spaceship.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the monitoring screen.

Looking at the star map of the solar system, the point of light represented by the warp drive spaceship looks like a shooting star streaking across the dark sky of the solar system.

"The spaceship has arrived at Jupiter in thirty-two seconds!" Harvey's voice came again.

In thirty seconds, it traveled directly from the Sun to Jupiter.

This speed is simply terrifying!

They are currently near the sun, which is more than 200 million kilometers away from Jupiter.

The spaceship covered 200 million kilometers in just 30 seconds, and its speed was now nearly 20 times the speed of light.

"It's a success! It's a success! Hahaha!" Tuosen's loud laughter rang out.

Data transmitted back from the spacecraft indicates that the warp drive is operating stably.

Furthermore, the spacecraft's structure was not damaged, which proves that their experiment was a success.

Twenty times the speed of light is the highest speed currently designed for warp drive spaceships.

At this speed, it would only take ten minutes to leave the solar system from Earth.

From this moment on, they truly possessed the ability to explore interstellar space.

"Professor Chen, we did it! We did it!" Harvey excitedly hugged Chen Feng's arm, his old face streaked with tears.

The other experts and professors were also in a state of extreme excitement.

It's no wonder Harvey and the others lost their composure; humanity has been trapped in the solar system for far too long.

Even though they had previously developed an antimatter warship capable of traveling at the speed of light.

But for the vastness of the universe, the speed of light is just the starting point.

Only by breaking the speed of light can humanity truly be considered to have entered the interstellar age.

The only ones who remained relatively calm were Chen Feng and Lin Wei.

As cultivators, their mental states wouldn't fluctuate so much, but they still wore smiles on their faces.

Lin Wei then spoke up:

"Let the spaceship come back; there's no need for it to fly any further."

The most difficult aspects of warp drive are starting and stabilizing flight. Now that both have been successfully achieved, there is no need to continue experimenting.

Harvey nodded immediately and then began to steer the spaceship to turn around.

Lin Wei then looked at Chen Feng:

"Let's give it a name; after all, it's our first warp drive."

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Xingfeng."

Lin Wei nodded. "Okay, let's call it that then, but I'll have to name the next one."

The group didn't have to wait long before the spaceship returned to its origin.

Decelerating a warp drive is more complex than starting it up. It first stops the spacetime stretching and then shuts down the warp drive.

This process lasted a full ten minutes.

This is also the biggest drawback of the warp drive at present: it takes about one minute to start and ten minutes to stop.

Lin Wei explained that the current energy optimization is insufficient and can only be improved gradually in the future.

"We can't give you the Xingfeng for now; we still need to collect some data from it," Lin Wei said to Chen Feng.

Only the two of them remained in the observation room. Harvey and the others rushed up to check on them as soon as the Wind Chaser stopped.

"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. I'll find a way to get more Xuanhuang Crystals later."

Xuanhuang Crystal can be used to create warp drives, so Chen Feng naturally wants to find a way to get more of it.

There must be more than one piece of Xuanhuang Crystal in the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if it's gone, there must be materials of similar quality to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Chen Feng didn't stay to study the spaceship with Lin Wei and the others. After giving them some instructions, he left.

However, he did not return directly to the Xuanhuang Realm, but instead went to Earth.

Earth, Dragon Country of Dragons.

As a 5A-level scenic spot in Dragon Country, Mount Tai has always been very popular.

Although Mount Tai was closed for a period of time because Chen Feng underwent his tribulation there, it was later reopened.

A year ago, a Spirit Vein was also born on the north side of Mount Tai.

The emergence of this Spirit Vein has made Mount Tai the place with the richest Spiritual Qi in the Dragon Country.

In fact, not only Mount Tai, but also other remote and uninhabited places around the world have Spirit Vein.

The Amazon rainforest, known as the lungs of the Earth, has the most Spirit Vein, with a total of five Spirit Vein appearing in that year.

Today, it has become an important area of contention among various countries.

Mount Tai, Jade Emperor Peak.

The place is packed with tourists right now, all taking photos of the distant scenery.

Some martial artists were also sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, cultivating.

Everyone was used to seeing these martial artists; extraordinary individuals were no longer a rarity in the Dragon Country.

Martial arts have also become a way for many people from the lower classes to cross social classes.

Unbeknownst to everyone, a man in white had silently arrived at the highest point of Jade Emperor Peak.

His appearance went unnoticed by anyone.

The man in white was none other than Chen Feng.

Chen Feng came to Mount Tai, naturally, to fertilize the earth.

Now, he has hundreds of Primordial Spirit within his mustard seed pearl.

If all these Primordial Spirit were transformed into energy and poured onto the Earth, the Earth's environment would undoubtedly undergo tremendous changes.

The place he chose to melt his Primordial Spirit would be the place with the most abundant primordial energy on Earth.

As Dragon Country, Chen Feng naturally prioritized leaving the greatest benefits to his fellow countrymen, which is why he came to Mount Tai.
