After settling the sublight speed spacecraft research and development, laboratory preparation and other matters, he left Beijing and began to search for super eight-knot gold all over the earth.
He has used the technology obtained from Phantom Wings to conduct global positioning and found four locations where Super Eight Knot Gold exists.
They are located in the Great Sandy Desert of Australia, near Bangalore in India, in the Red Sea, and in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean.
The trip around the globe took three weeks.
All the super eight-knot gold fragments were found by Shen Cong and integrated into one, as an important means of combat and defense for the sky-grabbing vehicle. It is also the core protection measure for future sub-light speed spacecraft, protecting it from energizing and collapsing in the sub-light speed state.
The earth today has entered a stable ice age.
I don’t know if it’s due to changes in the Sunstone’s orbit, or to changes in the physical properties of the Earth itself. Experts from the Academy of Sciences believe that this is an early ice age, rather than changes caused by activity as previously thought. The real change caused by activity is the establishment of oases and fire islands.
Of course, more experts believe that the earth's current glaciation situation is caused by changes in the physical properties of the earth itself and changes in properties brought about by activity. This is the result of a combination of inducements, rather than an isolated existence.
No matter how hard we try to get to the bottom of the problem and find out what's going on, the Earth's silent glacial situation is a foregone conclusion.
There will be no change in the next few decades, or even hundreds or thousands of years. The only thing that can change is probably that Shen Cong will loot all the remnants of the earth and completely enter the Death Star ecosystem.
As for now, the new government is slowly changing the planet's environment.
It is planned to gradually complete the exploration and excavation of all oases within three to five years, and collect the fire fragments for use in production and life. At that time, the oases on the earth will disappear and only the Fire Continent will remain. In fact, the Fire Continent will continue to develop until it dries up.
At that time, most of the earth will fall into silence and ice and snow.
Only in the active areas transformed by humans, metal life survives and continues to thrive, creating a new ecological civilization on earth.
certainly.
It cannot be ruled out that when the energy and activity of fire are concentrated, organic life will be born again in other areas of the earth, ushering in the next era.
By then, perhaps metallic life and organic life can live in harmony.
What does the future hold.
It is difficult for anyone to predict accurately.
Anyway, Shen Cong has no expectations for this. All his energy now is focused on the upcoming space travel. After finding all the super eight-knot gold and absorbing the special metal elements from Phantom Wing's corpse, he continued to transform the sky-skimming car while also transforming his own body.
"Everything in the fire of the universe originates from fire. Fire is the core, and the vehicle and body are just extensions." Shen Cong began to think about a major issue.
That is, should he give up his body
Phantom Wings can continuously create new bodies through asexual reproduction for their own fire to transplant. Essentially, it is constantly changing vehicles. The vehicles look very strange, but they are just activated metals impregnated with fire. Without the continuous infiltration of fire, the vehicle will eventually lose its activity and become ordinary metal.
For example, Phantom Wings is a dwarf-level cosmic fire. If you have to define talent, it must have existed for more than 11.676 hours. However, with the decline of fire, its body has dropped to the level of super seven talents.
The same goes for the Raging Starbreaker.
He is a star-level cosmic fire with explosive talents. However, the remaining legacy is only super eight-knot gold. If left unchecked, these super-eight-junction gold will sooner or later decay into ordinary metals.
"So, it doesn't matter what the vehicle is, and it doesn't matter what the body is. As long as I become the fire of the universe, the fire will be my new life form. The vehicle is more like a set of clothes, which can be changed at any time... Chen Xiuni has already changed her clothes. But her fire was not yet established, so there are still flaws.”
Fire is the root of everything.
But the original fire kindling is always a little bit worse, and the penetration and control of the vehicle are not so easy.
"The original fire can only make limited use of the divine fire system for non-mechanical driving, similar to the spirit of fire. But once it becomes a fire, the control power of the divine fire system will be increased dozens of times, and ordinary activated metals will be field-activated and become field-activated Metal, like arms and fingers.”
Shen Cong cannot evolve fire yet.
However, the cultivation of "Amaterasu Sutra" has entered a high-speed stage, and the original fire is undergoing field superposition and displacement at all times, adjusting the structure of all fire particles to the most suitable position.
"I feel that after about four or five years of continuous practice, all the fire particles in the original fire will complete the correct composition of fire energy, fire particles, and activity, and the three-state distribution between gaseous, liquid, and solid states .”
…
The original fire is continuously developed and cultivated.
Technical experiments are no longer ongoing. Shen Cong's talent has stopped in front of Chao Qi for a long time. Now there is no pressure to improve urgently. As long as the fire evolves, talent is no longer a shackle and can be improved at any time.
The latest experiment he is developing is the invisibility previously used by Phantom Wings.
Unlike camouflage, Phantom Wings' invisibility is all-round, from light, active waves, matter, etc.
This already involves the spatial level.
Just as stellar cosmic fire can tear out wormholes at will, cosmic fire can perceive the composition of space and time. Therefore, although Phantom Wings cannot create a wormhole, it is not difficult to simply fold time and space and hide itself in it.
Time and space sounds grand and mysterious, with a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Once you feel it, you can understand its nature.
With a little effort, change is not difficult.
It's just that Shen Cong is not able to perceive time and space for the time being, and he wants to use other means to realize his perception.
After several failed experiments, he reluctantly announced: "I can't become invisible now. To me, time and space are like the Book of Heaven. There is no possibility of deciphering it. The nature of the original fire is more than ten million different from the fire." inside."
If he couldn't do it, Shen Cong wouldn't worry about it.
Continue to the next technology for development testing.
Occasionally, he would go to the sublight speed spacecraft research and development base to supervise the research progress of the spacecraft. Most of the remaining time was spent practicing the Amaterasu Sutra.
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, one year has passed since Shen Cong returned from landing on the moon.
February 16, 2026 is the Lunar New Year’s Eve. When Shen Cong walked out of the laboratory, it was completely dark. There was only a little light left in the R&D base not far away. Except for a few staff on duty, all the staff at the base have returned to Beijing to celebrate the holidays.
In the fire-suspended river behind the laboratory, Shen Xiyi and Huang Taixian were soaking in the lava.
On the tarmac, the sky-skimming car was parked quietly, with Black Head lying on the roof, looking at the stars.
Shen Cong stood quietly at the door of the laboratory holding a glass of soda water. He came out to get some air and relax.
At this time, in the direction of Beijing City, fireworks flew into the sky and then exploded. They were colorful and very beautiful.
"Another year has passed, the fifth year of the new world."
