The universe was extremely wide.
Even if one knew the coordinates, it only served as a general direction.
Along the way, Feng Lin had to experience different complex environments, some of which were beyond his imagination.
Feng Lin was in a completely unfamiliar area of interstellar space. He had lost his sense of direction and became completely lost.
The only thing he was certain was that he was at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Presently, a spirit python was waiting within the wormhole, and Feng Lin did not dare to enter rashly. He could only control the flying shuttle to travel at the speed of light, like an ant crawling toward its target direction. Once he found a safe location, he would enter the wormhole and quickly pass through it.
Feng Lin’s mood was everything but relaxed.
After finally passing the examination, he had never expected that his road to happiness was strewn with setbacks. He had nearly escaped death from an attack of an extraterrestrial race.
Occasionally, there were inevitable things.
But not necessarily coincidental.
It seemed that the environment humans resided in was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
In the past, Feng Lin had been residing in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. He did not feel anything different… until now.
The closer one was to the edge, the closer one was to the extraterrestrial races. Those also came together with equivalent danger.
The borders of the human realm were not peaceful, and the war continued there.
After figuring out this point, Feng Lin sat on the ground. He took a marrow-cleansing pill to restore his vitality and continue training.
Time was of the essence, not one second could be stalled.
The heat flowed through his body, and the physical strength that was exhausted was quickly recovering.
Genetic potential +1.6, +1.6, +16 … …
A sudden warning sound from the A.I. woke him.
There is a huge neutron star in front! Please take an immediate detour or enter the wormhole! If the flying shuttle continues to travel forward, it will be caught by the neutron star’s gravitational field and falling toward the star. If the shuttle falls into the star, it would be completely destroyed into the most basic neutron!
Neutron star!
Feng Lin opened his eyes.
The neutron star was formed from ultra-high density cosmic material. The mass was beyond imagination. The huge gravitational force could crush the most basic structure of matter to the point that even basic atomic structures could not be maintained. Protons and electrons combined to become neutrons.
Once something was caught by the gravitational force, any substance would collapse, disintegrate, and become a part of the neutron star.
From the calculation of the A.I. onboard the flying shuttle, Feng Lin discovered that the gravitational field would affect any object within four light years of the star.
This was just the radius!
If Feng Lin wanted to circumnavigate the star, it would require him to sail for at least fifteen light years.
Within the absolute cosmic vacuum, the mass of matter flew faster than anywhere else but couldn’t exceed the speed of light.
With this conversion, it would take at least fifteen years for the roundabout trip.
The universe was a dark forest full of such cruelties, and human beings were a speck of stardust in the universe.
How many years did one’s life have? It was impossible to spend fifteen years on something so meaningless.
It was impossible to circumnavigate; thus, he could only risk it by venturing through the wormhole.
Open the wormhole!
Feng Lin sighed as he spoke. Feng Lin then steered the flying shuttle into the space time tunnel and hurried through.
After about an hour of sailing, there was a change in the tunnel. A spirit python was following behind.
Feng Lin had no choice but to retreat.
Fortunately for him, he had successfully passed the neutron star.
An hour spent crossing the wormhole had him sailing at least 1,000 light years of distance.
Feng Lin let out a sigh of relief. Another day had passed as he continued his voyage.
Outside the cabin, the star rotated as the starlight flickered nonstop.
Along the way, he encountered various environments including stellar storms, meteor impacts, tri-galaxies…
The universe was huge, and it was full of wonders.
Any kind of rare phenomenon would seem beautiful at first, but to Feng Lin, it was a huge danger. If he could avoid the danger, he would avoid it. For the ones he could not avoid, he could only risk it by using the wormhole technology.
Traveling in interstellar space was filled with danger.
He had to be cautious of each step he took.
Feng Lin had no idea where he was now. He could only rely on the general direction from the coordinates of the Great Wall University.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Suddenly, the A.I. sounded a warning.
Warning! The remaining energy is at 19%! It is closing in on the critical point of 10%! Once the energy is exhausted, the flying shuttle will lose its ecological circulation system. Please refuel the energy as soon as possible!
Misfortune never comes alone!
It required a lot of energy to use the wormhole technology. What’s worse was that along the way he had been chased by the spirit python.
The flying shuttle’s energy was about to be exhausted!
If he lost the energy to sail forward, he would be drifting in the universe without knowing where he would land.
If that was the case, it might take him his entire life to find a planet to land on.
How should I find the energy?
Feng Lin asked.
The A.I. Zixia replied,
This flying shuttle is equipped with the latest interstellar material destruction system which converts matter to a large amount of energy. The higher quality the matter, the more energy it can convert. It was of utmost importance that we land on a planet with solid matters. The traces of matter floating in space were not enough to support the large energy consumption of the shuttle!
After hearing this, Feng Lin decisively ordered the A.I. to use the remaining energy to search for a nearby planet so he could find a foothold.
Yes! Master!
A.I. Zixia replied. The flying shuttle’s external exploration system was turned on.
Time passed by and the energy was falling little by little.
Feng Lin waited patiently.
Compared to the cruelty of the universe, his abilities were still too weak, and he was way too powerless.
At this time, he could only place his hope on Flowerfruit Mountain’s abilities. Hopefully, it was powerful enough.
Soon after half an hour had passed, the energy had reduced until 15% before a result finally popped up.
Master, through the analysis of the surrounding stars, it was discovered that there is a large amount of matter ten light years away!
The A.I. report showed.
Open the wormhole and sail straight over!
Without caring for the dangers within, Feng Lin once again utilized the wormhole.
The spirit python immediately followed him; it would attack with its giant black mouth continuously.
The flying shuttle was like prey for the spirit python. If he did not pay attention, he would be swallowed up whole.
After a fierce chase, the flying shuttle escaped the dangers of the wormhole and eluded its pursuer.
A giant red star appeared in front of Feng Lin’s eyes. A powerful attractive force sucked thousands of small celestial bodies to form a planetary belt.
The flying shuttle plunged within only to see that it was accessible from all directions as if it were a maze where everything was difficult to distinguish from each other.
Once the flying shuttle landed, it immediately sent out the robots to mine and find high energy veins.
Various matters were placed within the matter crushing furnace and immediately converted into an abundance of energy.
The energy index continued to rise.
8%, 9%, 10%… It quickly broke through the critical level and reached over 30%. The energy crisis was thus alleviated.
Feng Lin let out a sigh of relief.
If there was energy, everything was much easier to handle. Even if he was lost within space, he could eventually find his way.
Master!
reported the A.I. all of a sudden.
What is it?
Feng Lin felt a slight headache. Each time the A.I. reported something, it was never good news. He did not know what issue it was this time.
Traces of life activity was discovered on this planet!
What?
