In the empire's foremost research institute,
surrounded by top-secret, high-tech experimental equipment, Gu Ya meticulously studied.
This was all the high technology Lan Lan Lan Kingdom had accumulated or plundered over centuries.
Among them were technologies extending from the Dunsaxin people's private space, similar to exploring four-dimensional space.
The underground dwellers seemed to have a particular fondness for spatial technology, and their achievements were abundant.
After several days of research, Gu Ya had grasped some simple technologies. For more obscure and difficult concepts, he would need more time to explore.
However, they still hadn't figured out how to obtain private space without the Dunsaxin people.
This troubled Gu Ya, and his research seemed to have hit another dead end.
If even this nation's top secret technology research institute couldn't figure it out, where else could he begin his research?
As he delved deeper into his reading, Gu Ya also realized why the underground dwellers favored spatial technology.
They wanted to return to the surface through spatial portals!
Furthermore, according to some ancient historical documents, Gu Ya found some unconfirmed reasons for the formation of the underground world.
What was chilling was that the records stated this planet was not a natural planet in the true sense.
Indeed, compared to Earth, as a planet with highly civilized inhabitants, it was far too large!!
This deep blue planet, also covered by oceans and land, was ten times larger than Earth, yet its core gravity was almost the same.
Gu Ya had also wondered how humans could live on such a massive planet without being crushed by gravity, nor being able to pilot mechs at high speeds.
But these things truly existed.
One translated ancient historical document stated:
In a more ancient era, beings with high civilization discovered this planet and transmitted their home planet here as well.
So where was this transmitted home planet now?
"Qiu... Qiuqiu De!" a timid voice interrupted Gu Ya's research.
Zhen Li stood nervously at the laboratory entrance, holding a drink, not daring to step forward.
In the entire Lan Lan Lan Kingdom, only she had been close to Gu Ya.
The authorities had also conveniently assigned her as Gu Ya's life consultant.
"Ah, come in," Gu Ya said afterward.
Zhen Li tiptoed into the laboratory, placed the drink on a table far from Gu Ya, and quickly turned to leave.
She hadn't expected that this Jude would be a god-like figure.
She was now deeply fearful, yet also fortunate that she hadn't angered him back then, otherwise, she wouldn't know how she died.
"Ah, right, come and keep me company. Don't be scared, I won't eat you. I have some questions for you," Gu Ya said while researching.
Zhen Li shivered, startled that a god would ask a mortal for advice!!!
What justice was there in heaven!!!
Zhen Li timidly sat down opposite Gu Ya.
Gu Ya flipped through holographic documents, recording with his [Star Structure Blueprint].
Some research indicated that the pure-blooded Dunsaxin people's private space was approximately a cube with a volume of one hundred million cubic meters.
After interbreeding with ordinary humans, the first generation had only one-thousandth of that, the second generation one-hundredth of the first, and the third generation one-tenth of the second. After the third generation, the private space would disappear.
In the research literature, private space was infinitely close to a 3.25-dimensional space.
These ordinary underground dwellers regarded the Dunsaxin people as three-dimensional beings on the verge of evolving into four-dimensional creatures, existing between reality and higher dimensions.
Recalling his experiences in private space, Gu Ya shuddered. All three-dimensional objects could be seen at a glance, which was absolutely impossible in reality.
The explanation of Life Codes was even more interesting.
Research claimed that Life Codes were one of the laws of the universe, similar to fate in metaphysics. Moreover, only the Dunsaxin people could see them.
Gu Ya remembered the subterranean script surrounding Shen Jingming's body, but ordinary people did not have it.
Scientists also speculated that Life Codes were fate codes written by higher-dimensional beings for lower-level beings.
"Perhaps, Life Codes and private space are connected?" Gu Ya hypothesized. "Or, understanding Life Codes could allow one to change fate."
After reading this research, Gu Ya felt even more acutely how little knowledge he possessed.
Two hours later, Gu Ya finally sighed and emerged from his deep thought.
Zhen Li gently reminded him, "Perhaps you should eat first. You've been busy for 11 hours..."
"Oh! You're still here!" Gu Ya said, somewhat surprised.
Zhen Li felt like crying but had no tears. Of course, she was still here. Who dared disobey a god's command? She hadn't dared to move for two hours, and her backside was sore.
Gu Ya reached for the drink, took a sip with satisfaction, and asked, "Are you married?"
Zhen Li tried to remain composed and replied, "Not yet."
"Then what generation of ability user are you?" Gu Ya asked, setting down the cup and smiling kindly.
Seeing Gu Ya's smile, Zhen Li relaxed and said, "Second generation."
Gu Ya tapped his chin with his right index finger and asked, "Excuse me, do you know how to modify Life Codes? Or perhaps, how to alter the companion relationship of the Dunsaxin people."
This was Gu Ya asking on behalf of Shen Jingming. He didn't want his straightforward good friend to be tied to a promiscuous war criminal.
Zhen Li shrugged and smiled regretfully, indicating she didn't know.
"Master," Hei Yang reminded cautiously, "Master, strictly speaking, the Godly Vessel Urn was written by four-dimensional beings. If you can master it, perhaps you can understand and modify Life Codes."
Gu Ya nodded and said, "That's a possible approach, but those surging liquid-like codes are too difficult to comprehend."
"The patterns are like... iridescent oil slicks floating on water. No matter which direction you look from, the shape from the previous second and the next second are completely different."
"If three-body motion has infinite possibilities, then these surging topological matters are like adding an exponent of infinity to infinity." 138 Reading Network
Gu Ya looked at Zhen Li and said, "One more question. The Dunsaxin people can come back to life, is that right?"
Zhen Li was almost numb from Gu Ya's questions. How could a mortal possibly know things that even gods couldn't understand!
Mustering her courage, Zhen Li carefully recalled, and she indeed remembered a clue.
She had once investigated a case where a Dunsaxin person placed in a morgue suddenly came back to life.
"Yes..." Zhen Li began to recount that bizarre case, adding, "No one has ever personally seen a Dunsaxin's corpse. Rumor has it they can predict their own end, and when the time comes, they disappear into their private space."
Gu Ya nodded thoughtfully, letting out a long breath.
After working for so long, Gu Ya's brain was becoming sluggish.
He stretched widely, yawned, and said tiredly, "It's about time, I need to stretch my legs."
As Gu Ya stood up, preparing to leave, he noticed an oil painting on the wall.
And the pattern in the painting sent a jolt through Gu Ya!
Gu Ya grabbed Zhen Li by the collar and sternly asked, "Where did you get this painting!"
