Of course, while the silver chip was recording the data, the boy still looked at the relationship between the warp engine and the fire design drawing.

Immediately after, he was slightly stunned.

"Hey, sure enough, it's the same design idea as the aether hearth."

The Aether Furnace and the True Aether Furnace are indeed the same design ideas, both of which use ultra-high purity, or even 100% absolute purity essentia, to create a space bubble independent of the natural spiritual energy field, and naturally attract the surrounding natural spiritual energy.

For example, if the natural psionic field of the entire universe is a membrane that is roughly evenly distributed in all space-time, then the aether furnace is to create a deep 'well' on this membrane.

The difference between the Aether Furnace and the True Aether Furnace is that the former is flawed in its design, and the space bubble is unstable, and it will also cause a load on the furnace core and the body when absorbing the natural spiritual energy, and it needs to be maintained by continuously inputting resources, and the cavitation cannot be maintained for a long time.

The latter not only does not need to, but can even transfer the load of natural spiritual energy to the perfect space bubble, and use the power of nature to load nature itself, so that it can accumulate almost infinite power.

The Tinder Furnace Heart, compared to the True Aether Furnace armed by the Apocalypse, is actually not much different.

It's just that it can exert more influence on the 'space bubble', and then build extraordinary capabilities such as 'zero inertial maneuvering', 'phase transfer shield' and 'hyperspace communication'.

And most importantly.

'Warp sailing'.

Yes, warp speed navigation is the technology derived from the Obera civilization using the super huge amount of natural spiritual energy accumulated in the space bubble to distort time and space - the warp engine will create a layer of space-time bubble independent of the original universe around the spaceship, it does not interact with any information with the universe, and then uses the indirect operation of the 'space bubble' to shrink the space-time in front and expand the space-time behind, and then generate an 'asymmetric creeping field' to propel the spacecraft.

To put it simply, it's a faster-than-light engine, and there's no need for something as dangerous and limiting as a subspace hyperspace channel.

This is similar to the technology of the Aether Furnace, but it is precisely because of the development of the Aether Furnace that the technology of the warp engine can be mastered.

"In that case, Terra has an apocalyptic armed nation...... As long as you can independently create a brand new Apocalypse Armament, not a modified Apocalypse Furnace from the ruins...... Then they're only one step away from traveling faster-than-light?! ”

Sensing this, Ian had a hard time holding back - though he also knew that the so-called one step away from such a technological advancement was often the inspiration of an entire civilization for an unknown number of years.

But from the perspective of the technology tree, the pre-era Terra civilization, the distance between the true interstellar civilization that can travel faster than the speed of light, is really a little bit of a film distance!

And the current Terra civilization is not far from the interstellar civilization.

It's just a pity that most of them can only be used, not made.

Although there are also countries that want to research, the war between them makes them pull each other's backs, and they cannot gather the wisdom of the entire planet's population and scientific researchers to conduct research.

Of course, if it was the original Earth, if the original Earth also had essentia and ether there, then it is estimated that the earth would have become an interstellar civilization long ago - there was no such extraordinary thing as etheric essentia on the earth.

It's a pity.

With this in mind, Ian continued to search through the database after satisfying his curiosity.

And this time, he was looking at the Terra Star Map.

Sixteen hundred years ago, when darkness had not yet clouded the stars, the primordial star map!

The primordial star map is a suspicion that Ian has always had in his heart.

Since his birth, whether it is before awakening the memories of his past life, or after awakening the memories of his past life, the bright starry sky cannot be seen in the land of Terra.

Unlike the light pollution, which is too bad, to see the stars, Terra's invisibility is simply 'nothing'.

The stars were gone, leaving nothing but a desolate bleakness.

Of course, just because there is no starry sky doesn't mean you can't see any of them.

In the last few years, Ian has found a few stars that he can see, which are not outside the planet Terra.

But, as depicted on the star map of the boy in his alchemy workshop, some of these stars are disappearing one after another.

These stars have long since disappeared, and I have only seen their light completely dissipate.

"If there really is some cosmic natural disaster that constantly destroys the distant stars, then it is easy to understand that the Obera Star Domain sent the Tinder ship......"

Ian let out a breath, he calmed down for a moment and opened the ruin star map.

With the boy's command, the gloomy curtain in front of him was like a dazzling brilliant firework suddenly ignited.

Endless stars twinkled, and bright stars lit up one by one in front of his eyes.

At this moment, Ian seemed to have the illusion that those civilizations that had been swallowed by darkness had gone back in time and returned to the sea of stars from the endless universe, and on the star map of 1,600 years ago, they were still burning with flames of life heat, weaving dreams that belonged to one world after another, full of hope and future.

Maybe not a delusion...... Prophets do not have delusions.

Closing his eyes and being silent for a moment, Ian seemed unwilling to look at these overly bright starry skies.

Then he opened his eyes again and stared at the star map in front of him.

After a while, he found what he was looking for from these overly dense stars.

"This is it."

Shifting his gaze, Ian looked at an unnatural dark void in the starry sky, and he said softly: "Sure enough, 1,600 years ago, in the pre-era, there were already stars extinguished, and even a large void area was formed. ”

"Let me see...... Well, there is also a record of the time when the stars disappear one by one...... Really. ”

"It's all disappearing at the same speed of light according to the distance."

Ian's voice was calm and not like his own, and he never thought that he could be so indifferent when he saw the long-awaited picture of the stars of the past.

Is it the reason why I have fantasized about it countless times for a long time? Or is he not as excited and looking forward to it as he thought?

Ian didn't know.

He just felt a kind of cold ...... A kind of pitch-black coldness was approaching his spine, his heart, and even his heart, so that the young man had to calm down and settle down.

Then, you can breathe.

The Great Cavern has long been discovered by Terra scientists, but it is so difficult to explain that it is believed to be obscured by 'interstellar dust'.

This can barely explain why the stars in this direction are dim one after another, but it does not explain how large the interstellar dust area must be to obscure the vast galaxy of tens of thousands of light-years.

Nor does it explain why there is a dark and opaque cloud that moves evenly at the speed of light, cutting off all the brilliance of the stars.

Therefore, some people have suggested that some kind of cosmic natural disaster may be gradually approaching...... However, this information is very incomplete, and it seems that someone has deliberately deleted it.

"It's not that Terra is obscured by something—it's true, it's the distant stars that are fading away, from less to more, from being to nothing, and the constellations that originally overlapped each other dimmed one after another...... And not disappear at the same time. ”

"And, someone deliberately deleted? Why is that? Even if there really is a cosmic catastrophe that is destroying the stars one by one, it is not something to be seen - at most, it needs to be hidden from the public. ”

With these conclusions in mind, Ian frowned, and he continued to observe the complete spherical star map: "In any case, it cannot be ruled out that Terra is also obscured by something, after all, there are 1,600 years of blankness, and no one knows what happened. ”

"For the universe, 1,600 light-years is not much, but it is not too little, but after all the stars around it are dimmed, the next target must be Terra."

"Maybe ......"

Thinking of this, Ian was a little surprised, why Inaga II was so urgent.

Yes, if Inaga II had also seen the star map of the civilization of the previous era, and then compared it with the starry sky of today......

No matter who you are, you will have an irrepressible fear, right?

A person's lifespan of tens or hundreds of years is already a long time, but on a cosmic scale, this is only a moment.

It is precisely because decades and hundreds of years are also a moment for the universe that human beings feel anxious about it.

- Whether it is decades, centuries or thousands of years, or the next moment, destruction can come.

Ordinary people can comfort themselves that the sun will rise tomorrow, while those who know the truth understand that every second could be a moment before the end of the world.

Therefore, it is impossible to endure, it is impossible to stop, and it is impossible to carry out reform slowly.

You can only keep stepping forward and keep moving forward in order to settle down.

to comfort yourself...... Before the destruction came, I at least tried.

At this moment, Ian's mind couldn't help but rethink the last time he looked up at the sky.

The darkness of the universe, the near-dull night sky, the shattered New Moon, and the only moonlight......

All of this seems to be a fact to the beings on the continent of Terra.

- Next one, you.
