Chapter 182: The Universe Expands for 10,000 Years and Expands for 13.8 Billion Years
A makeshift warship composed of a combination of autonomic mechanical aggregates, heading towards the sky at a thousand times the speed of light.
However, as you get farther away from the ground, the speed starts to slow down.
Obviously, the speed of travel is still a thousand times the speed of light, but the actual distance traveled is not far.
The situation was naturally reported to Lin Xu as soon as possible.
At this time, Lin Xu and the others had just eliminated the old Taoist priest and a few accomplices.
Looking at the dojo below, the cultivators who have been in trouble because of the changes here have no intention of making trouble for them.
After all, the purpose of the old Taoist priest to do this dojo was just to hide people's eyes, and he never really took the dojo to heart, and the disciples in the dojo did not know the true purpose of the old Taoist priest.
Lin Xu naturally wouldn't do anything to anger others.
So after solving the old Taoist priest and his party, several people continued to fly straight towards Buzhou Mountain.
At the same time, the situation of the autonomic mechanical aggregate is discussed.
"The space at high altitudes is slowly solidifying, making the curvature slower and slower? It seems that the speed of light is also slowing down? What's going on? Nan Zhu frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
"It looks like that, but it depends on the test results." Lin Xu nodded.
And as a few people spoke, the temporary battleship, which had reached an extremely high position, had re-disintegrated into countless autonomous mechanical aggregates.
Experiments in the field then began.
Soon, the experimental results were sent back, verifying the guesses of Lin Xu and the others.
Indeed, as several people guessed, the higher the position in the high altitude of the flood wilderness, the slower the speed of light.
Not only that, but as the speed of light slows down, the space here also changes, becoming more and more stable, and it becomes more and more difficult to squeeze the space for curvature navigation.
As a result, the speed of the temporary battleship began to slow down.
"Since the speed has slowed down, why don't you try to use the thruster to continue flying up?" Nan Candle suggested.
"Not for the time being, even if the speed slows down, the speed of curvature is still far faster than the thrusters can achieve." Lin Xu glanced at Nan Candle who was flicking his tail and said.
"If you keep slowing down like this, will the space be completely stable after reaching a certain altitude, and you will no longer be able to sail with curvature? Will the speed of light also stagnate? Nan Zhu guessed.
"Then let's try to push the limits with thrusters." Lin Xu agreed this time.
In this way, the autonomic mechanical aggregates in the sky regrouped into temporary warships, sailing in curvature and continuing to strive to break through to the sky.
Although the size of the flood has continued to expand and grow for tens of thousands of years, the size is still completely different from the universe born from the earth that has expanded for 13.8 billion years.
Therefore, the temporary battleship only explored upwards for a day or so, and it was gradually approaching the place where the space was completely stabilized and the speed of light was stagnant.
At this point, the distance traveled by the curvature sailing was gradually similar to the distance traveled by the normal propeller to push the battleship forward.
"So, have you reached the boundaries of the universe? The nascent universe is still a little small. On a peak of Buzhou Mountain, Nan Zhu sighed.
At this time, Lin Xu and the others flew upwards along Buzhou Mountain, and had just crossed a mountain peak, and were blocked by the light of the Dao Rui Qi in front of them.
It was getting late, the sun was setting, the stars were twinkling, and the full moon was high in the sky.
Under the moonlight, it seems that the light of the thousand rays of Ruiqi is bright and abnormal.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, was standing on the edge of the mountain peak, with his back to the thousand rays of light, and he was not attracted by that light at all.
Instead, he looked at the small barren land below as a chessboard, and looked at the starry sky and the moon overhead, his eyes full of curiosity.
"These stars are very similar to the moon and the starry sky you see on Earth." Lin Xu's tone was filled with emotion.
At the same time, Lin Xu could also watch the picture transmitted by the temporary battleship in the sky through his consciousness.
Just arrived at the temporary battleship at the edge of the Flood Universe, and captured a precious picture of the edge of the Flood Universe.
Countless stars as large as the earth are embedded at the end of the sky, above the edge of the universe.
It's just that the light of the sun was too dazzling before, so these stars could not be detected by the naked eye on the ground in the sky.
Until the sun goes down and the sky darkens.
As a result, these stars became like stars, lighting up the night sky.
The Milky Way that makes up the wilderness.
And the traces of the arrangement of the stars are almost the same as the starry sky seen on the earth.
No wonder Lin Xu sighed.
It's just that the stars here are the size of planets and are embedded in the sky.
The stars seen on the earth are all huge stars, all over the universe, constantly moving.
Of course, the starry sky is also moving, moving slowly according to a certain law.
Lin Xu didn't know if this law was also equivalent to the law of the starry sky on the earth.
However, if you want to know this, you must go through long-term observations, at least Lin Xu has no data to support his judgment now.
"Order a part of the temporary warships to continue to fly towards the sky, and if the curvature navigation is unusable, then change to jet propulsion to continue the propulsion flight. The other part of the battleship is to explore the starry sky and see what is on it. Lin Xu ordered.
So Yingfu immediately began to execute, at the end of the Flood Universe, the temporary battleship that had been juxtaposed with the starry sky was divided into two parts, one part continued to fly towards the limit of the sky, and even planned to cross the boundary of the Flood Universe.
The other part is scattered, exploring the stars in all directions.
As you get closer to those stars, you can see that there are pavilions and pavilions on many stars, all kinds of buildings, and even during the leap of immortals, some of the immortals on the stars seem to have found temporary warships, and they are looking at temporary warships in surprise.
And those who continued to leap upwards did not take long to fly to the upper reaches of the stars, and also reached the boundary of the desolate universe where the speed of light was completely reduced to zero, and even light could not move.
This is an area that even the immortals cannot explore, because the autonomic mechanical aggregate that has arrived here has discovered that after crossing the starry sky, the area above the starry sky enters the auraless zone.
In other words, there are no nanobots in this desolate border.
And the immortals who rely entirely on aura for their cultivation, that is, nanorobots, naturally can't reach here, this desolate border above the starry sky.
Here, without aura, light cannot move, and it can really be said that it is the end of the universe.
"Although there are no nanobots there, but the immortals rely on the nanobots in their bodies, and it is no problem to explore upward, at most, there is no way to replenish and consume from the surrounding areas." Nan Zhu had a different opinion.
Until the improvised battleship sent back the latest experimental results.
Experiments have shown that the nanobots in the Flood Universe seem to have been given some kind of ban and are not allowed to approach the boundaries of the universe.
So even if a makeshift warship tries to carry nanobots from below the stars to the sky, those nanobots will still automatically return to the bottom of the sky.
It's as if there is an instruction for nanobots, suppressing the nanobots in the desolate universe and not allowing them to enter the starry sky.
This means that even if an immortal wants to rely only on the nanobots in his body and get close to the edge of the universe, he will start to lose the nanobots in his body when he reaches the starry sky, and return to the starry sky.
In the senses of the immortals, it is probably that once they enter the starry sky, they will start to continue to disperse.
In this way, no immortal dares to reach the starry sky.
Of course, the nanobots that come with the temporary battleship are completely fine when they are above the starry sky, which means that this rule that nanobots are not allowed to enter the starry sky is only useful for the nanobots in the wilderness.
The foreign nanobots brought by Lin Xu were not affected.
It made Lin Xu want to try, with his authority, to give a new command to all the nanorobots of the flood wilderness to be allowed to enter the starry sky, what would happen.
But Lin Xu just thought about it and didn't do it.
He didn't want to upset the balance of the Flood Wilderness yet, at least not until he figured something out.
Otherwise, it will not be good if there is a flood and chaos.
In short, the speed of light above the starry sky is stagnant, and nanobots are forbidden.
So no immortals can explore here.
But there are no problems with improvised battleships.
Therefore, this part of the temporary warships continued to fly upwards with the propulsion device, gradually getting farther and farther away from the stars below.
It is also getting farther and farther away from the desolate land.
The makeshift battleship crossed the boundary of the universe, and there was a pitch-black nothingness ahead, as if it was hiding a secret outside the universe.
It's just that the speed at which the temporary warship now only relies on thrusters to propel forward, which can be said to be extremely slow compared to the speed of light that used to be a thousand times.
So this exploration has results, and it is estimated that it will take a while.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, standing halfway up the Buzhou Mountain, looking up at the dark night sky.
According to calculations, it is already known that the day of the flood is twenty-four hours, which is exactly the same time as a day on Earth.
Obviously, it is such a vast wilderness, but the time of one day is the same as that of the earth, it should be said that human beings 10,000 years ago are really nostalgic.
The exploration of autonomic mechanical aggregates at the end of the sky continues, and the horizontal exploration of some autonomic mechanical aggregates of the stars has attracted the attention of some immortals living above the stars.
Halfway up the mountain, Lin Xu also slowly turned around and looked at the various lights behind him that had finally changed.
In an instant, the originally blooming light instantly converged, and finally converged on an old vine hanging halfway up the Buzhou Mountain.
I saw a gourd with a faint light on it, which was crumbling, as if it was ripe and about to land.
"Hulu baby?" Nan Zhu looked at the gourd with a strange look in his eyes.
"What a gourd baby, this should be called a treasure of heaven and earth, right?" Lu Yao glanced at Nan Zhu speechlessly.
"So the big guy next to him is the monster who guards the treasures of heaven and earth?" Mu Xiyue stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Xu, and at the same time, a sword light had flashed in her hand.
I saw that near the old vine hanging halfway up the Buzhou Mountain, a giant python with a length of thousands of meters circled around the old vine, salivating at the gourd that was about to fall on the old vine, and staring vigilantly at Lin Xu and the others here, with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Hey, what kind of monster, you call this a monster? Do you look down on us youkai? Nan Zhu shook the fox tail behind him and the hard ears on his head, emphasizing his identity as a fox spirit, and glared angrily at Mu Xiyue.
"Okay, okay, that's called a demon beast, a demon beast is okay!" Mu Xiyue was speechless, but still compromised.
At this time, the eyes of the thousand-meter python wandered for a long time between the gourd that was about to fall and Lin Xu and his party on the mountain peak next to it, as if they were sure that the gourd would wait for a while before it fell, and made a decision.
It has to get rid of the next threat first.
So the thousand-meter python opened its blood-red mouth and bounced towards the mountain where Lin Xu and the others were.
If this bite is solid all at once, it is estimated that it can directly bite the mountain.
It's a pity that before its snake head arrived, the giant python suddenly found that with a dazzling light, why did its sight fly in the sky? And also saw their own body?
It's normal to see the body, after all, its body is long enough to see a huge body with a casual turn.
But why is the body you see this time falling towards Buzhou Mountain? And it's still a headless corpse? Where the head of the snake should be, still spurting blood?
Wait a minute, Snake Head?
Monty Python realized something.
But then, its snake head was shattered by another sword light cut out by Mu Xiyue, and it completely lost consciousness.
Nan Zhu lay on the edge of the mountain, looking at the body of the giant python that was falling, and there was a little regret in his eyes.
"It's a pity, I haven't eaten such a big python yet, if only I could taste something."
"Here, eat." Mu Xiyue said, she had already reached out and grabbed a piece of python meat that fell from mid-air, handed it to Nan Zhu and said.
"Where are you meat, isn't it disgusting?" Nan Zhu hurriedly took a few steps back and slapped his nose.
"It's supposed to be the meat on the neck, don't you eat it?" Mu Xiyue continued to ask.
"Of course not." Nan Zhu hid behind Lin Xu, and at the same time looked at Lin Xu vigorously, as if accusing Mu Xiyue of bullying her.
"Cut, Ye Gong is a good dragon." Lu Yao complained unceremoniously.
And at this moment, I don't know if it was the fall of the giant python that alarmed the old vine, so the gourd on the old vine suddenly fell and fell down the Buzhou Mountain.
Lin Xu looked at the falling gourd, and didn't mean to catch it.
It was as if he was looking at this rare treasure of heaven and earth, falling into the dust.
Miss Qiu, Nan Zhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao beside Lin Xu are also counted as one, and no one is interested in catching the gourd.
In this way, the gourd became smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
At the same time, a figure with a young face but white beard, located in a cave on Buzhou Mountain, meditated with his eyes closed as usual.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the sun, moon and stars, and everything in the universe was in them.
I saw him raise his hand and pinch his fingers, and the irritability hit again.
"How is that possible? That is an extremely rare heaven and earth spiritual treasure, but it can't attract the heart of that variable? What exactly does he want? If I don't even want a spiritual treasure, how can I lure him into the urn? ”
The white-haired figure frowned, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
And Lin Xu, who had just sat back and watched the gourd fall into the mountain stream, was thoughtful.
Also thoughtful were the rest.
"Lord Lin Xu, why did that gourd keep looking at you just now?" Nan Zhu was puzzled.
Maybe ordinary people can't see it, and even Da Luo Jinxian can't detect it.
But who are Lin Xu, how can nanorobot-related things be hidden from them.
As early as when they had just arrived at this mountain peak and had a thousand rui qi, several people noticed that the nanorobots gathered on the old vine had been faintly watching Lin Xu's location.
It was as if the nanobots were being treated as their own bodies by a certain consciousness body, and that consciousness body used the nanobots as its own living body.
But he didn't even notice that his body was extremely active when facing Lin Xu, as if a dog had seen its owner.
The consciousness itself does not react, but its body is still very honest.
Then the nanobots on the old vine condensed into the gourd, and the consciousness body also converged into the gourd.
At the same time, he had been paying attention to Lin Xu, as if he was waiting for Lin Xu to take it away.
It's a pity that Lin Xu just watched the gourd fall into the mountain stream with his consciousness body.
"Do you feel it, if we took that gourd just now, many invisible silk threads composed of nanobots in the space seem to be entangled around us." Mu Xiyue also said.
That's why everyone didn't reach out to pick up the gourd.
Indeed, the feeling is like, what kind of cause and effect will come from taking the gourd? Oh my God, is there really such a thing as cause and effect? How do I feel that this desolate world is really becoming more and more mysterious. Lu Yao couldn't help but complain.
"How can it be a fantasy, it's obviously a fairy, this is a desolate universe created according to the world of fairytales." Nan Candle corrected.
"Okay, okay, but that's not the point, okay, is there really any cause and effect?" Lu Yao said curiously.
And her curiosity is also the same curiosity of the rest of the people, but even if she is curious, without Lin Xu making a decision, everyone will not stretch out their hands indiscriminately.
"Interesting." And Lin Xu was also very curious.
So, seeing that the gourd had fallen far enough, it was even invisible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, a hundred-zhang giant ape rushed out from the halfway point of Buzhou Mountain, raised his hand and grabbed the gourd.
Lin Xu also stretched out his hand at the same time.
Finger flick, thump.
It was as if the void had been struck hard by a hammer.
With a bang, the giant ape's huge body instantly disintegrated, turned into a lot of flesh and blood, and fell towards Buzhou Mountain.
At the same time, the gourd flew upwards with a search, and was held in Lin Xu's hand in the blink of an eye.
"Cause and effect, just look at what kind of cause and effect it is!" Lin Xu weighed the gourd in his hand and said curiously.
At the same time, feeling the ubiquitous nanobots around him, some of them seemed to have some kind of connection invisibly, like silk threads, wrapping Lin Xu and his party in some kind of fate.
Of course, with Lin Xu's authority on nanobots, he could easily cut off this connection.
That is, it is easy to cut off cause and effect, and don't try to find him for any cause and effect.
But Lin Xu didn't, he let this invisible connection arise, because he had already noticed that this so-called gourd appeared, as if some existence wanted to calculate him.
So Lin Xu wanted to see who was calculating him.
At the same time, in a certain cave in Buzhou Mountain, a figure with a white beard but a young face was still puzzled just now, even the spirit treasure could not attract that variable, but now his face suddenly changed again, and he immediately pinched his fingers and calculated.
Soon the calculation was completed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, no one can refuse the temptation of Lingbao, so since it has entered my urn, then use it as a pawn, work hard! A variable from outside the wilderness, but a good chess piece. Hahahaha. "The figure who is always moody and invisible, and it is rare to laugh out loud.
At the same time, at the end of the sky, the part of the temporary warship that explored the stars turned around the stars the size of the earth and probed towards the cloud-shrouded area.
Finally, surrounded by countless astral bodies, the temporary warship found a huge palace located here.
It was a palace far larger than the stars, and the palace complex alone was the size of several Earths.
Layered on top of each other, the boundless palace hidden in the clouds is like a large immortal ship.
It's just that the immortal ship still has some traces of ships, after all, it has to sail in the universe.
But this palace is a real palace, and there is no trace of a ship.
This is a luxurious palace that exists for the sake of living.
Or it could be called, Heavenly Court.
That's right, this is the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court above the desolate land here.
Ten thousand immortals gathered, and the Immortal Venerable King was in the place of the desolation, not a puppet heavenly court created by the god list.
At least, at this moment, this desolation that has just been born for 10,000 years, there is no plan to become a god or not.
And when the temporary warship discovered the Heavenly Court and reported the news of the existence of this huge palace to Lin Xu.
The existence above the heavenly court, which was admired by all immortals and called the immortal venerable, also received the news.
There is a machine that is suspected to be a technological creation, coming from the Nether Realm, and is exploring the outer periphery of the Heavenly Court.
"Technological creations? Is it a creation from the universe of technology? But isn't the creation of the technological universe simply unable to operate in my wilderness? Some immortals wondered.
"This, who knows, but that thing does look like a technological creation."
"It can't be a similar plaything created by some immortal imitating the creation of the technological universe and using mechanical techniques, right?" Some immortals speculated.
"Why do you want to do so much, just go and catch it and check it out."
"But if it's really the game of a fellow Daoist?"
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if he's a game or not, it's a big crime to disturb the heavenly court, Xianzun already knows about this matter, do you want to excuse him in front of Xianzun?"
Suddenly, no immortal dared to speak.
