“Mystical, it’s truly too mystical.”

“Who would have thought that such an incredibly advanced material would be born from a pile of waste residue?”

Ke Mingting’s assistant, seeing his frenzy, couldn’t help but say, “Actually, many materials are born this way.”

Ke Mingting didn’t retort.

Instead, he continued, “Those legends simply cannot compare to Void Crystal.”

“This is Human Civilization’s greatest material, bar none.”

Void Crystal.

Crystal of Space.

Its ability is very simple: it integrates with gravity.

If gravity is compared to a basin of water, most objects will float with its fluctuations, but this floating cannot perfectly synchronize with the water’s own fluctuations.

For example, if the water’s ripples tilt by 10 degrees, will the object on it also tilt by 10 degrees?

It will only fall due to gravity, and even if it tilts, there will be a certain delay.

Void Crystal is different; it perfectly conforms to the “water surface” and can perfectly display any fluctuation of gravity.

Of course, what Ke Mingting holds in his hand is not Void Crystal’s perfect form; what can truly be applied should be Void Foil.

A piece of Void Crystal thinner than gold leaf paper.

“It’s truly hard to imagine its potential uses.”

“It can serve as a medium, making gravity conversion more apparent.”

“It can also be directly covered on the surface of space, directly preventing small Civilizations from reaching the macroscopic world from the super-microscopic world, and affecting the macroscopic world.”

“Furthermore, it can stabilize space itself; a piece of matter must have an acting force, and they will, like clothing, restrain violent spatial fluctuations.”

“This is a perfect material for a wormhole… no, a perfect substitute material. It cannot truly stabilize a wormhole, but it is already a huge breakthrough.”

“Oh my goodness, why wasn’t such a substance born from my hands, but from a mere worker!”

Ke Mingting’s jealousy was evident.

The assistant said, “That Mr. An Wulinna still has some talent in material science.”

“Why don’t you directly take him as your student? That way, when history records Void Crystal, your name will also be there.”

Ke Mingting’s eyes lit up.

“You truly are my good assistant; this method is excellent.”

He hurriedly left the laboratory, donned his mech, and directly traversed to Ofando, millions of kilometers away.

When Ke Mingting arrived, he found that several other scholars had already arrived, and he was furious.

“You scoundrels, taking a worker as a disciple, aren’t you ashamed?”

The other scholars looked at him.

Aren’t you ashamed to say such a thing?

An Wulinna, surrounded in the center, was a little dazed.

He, unexpectedly, was being scrambled over by so many scholars to be taken as a disciple.

From before, was he, truly not dreaming?

Or rather, was he still in a virtual world?

Eve Star arrived. She greeted the scholars, then turned to An Wulinna and said, “Soon, Ofando will undergo a complete reorganization. I want you to produce a design plan to maximize the production of rare crystals in Ofando.”

“This is very important.”

“Don’t worry about funding.”

“Hundreds of billions, trillions, even tens of trillions, it doesn’t matter.”

Although An Wulinna was called a worker, he was actually a technical worker.

In this era, there were not many pure assembly line workers left.

An Wulinna was shocked by such financial extravagance.

As expected of the Federal Military.

Actually, Eve Star was also surprised.

She was merely repeating what the higher-ups had said.

Although she didn’t really know how much of it was true or false.

However, this place, strictly speaking, was no longer dominated by her.

The scholars who came were the ones who could truly decide these matters.

Ke Mingting spoke, “Just design it. This order comes from a very high level, and what you master is very important.”

An Wulinna nodded.

However, asking him to design a factory was still quite difficult for him.

He had never done it before.

People always progress.

7 years later.

An Wulinna presented his design plan.

It contained much of his hard work, as well as suggestions from those scholars.

The design plan was quickly approved.

Then An Wulinna saw a Super Counter-Impulse Matter Transfer Device being built in Ofando.

Following that, countless resources arrived.

A construction frenzy.

The already enormous factory became even larger.

It was more than ten times larger than before.

Moreover, all production capacity was dedicated to rare crystals.

After these tasks were completed, An Wulinna officially became a student of all the scholars.

As an adult, An Wulinna also knew that this was actually a form of exchange.

However, for him, it was a great gain.

For someone like him, fame had no value; only real money did.

Or technology.

In the research laboratory, An Wulinna learned a lot.

Countless knowledge poured into his brain, and he felt an unprecedented excitement.

And entering the research laboratory also made him realize that these people came not for rare crystals at all, but for the Void Crystal extracted from rare crystals.

The specific application of Void Crystal was still on paper.

Ke Mingting and others told him.

This was an opportunity.

If he could create true Void Foil, he could instantly become a star.

An Wulinna was full of motivation.

…

“Captain, I heard that An Wulinna is researching rare crystals.”

Xia Qing said with some jealousy.

Knowledge is precious.

scholars themselves are respected, a noble profession.

A worker and a scholar, these two originally disparate things, collided.

“This is his opportunity, and he himself is interested in materials, which is the main reason he could be taken as a student by those scholars.”

Eve Star knew the reason for Xia Qing’s jealousy.

It was a sense of social superiority.

She herself was the eldest legitimate daughter of a small family, the future successor.

Xia Qing’s family was much larger than hers, and although Xia Qing was just a peripheral figure, the resources she possessed were beyond Eve Star’s reach.

This was the so-called difference between a chicken’s head and a phoenix’s tail.

A hundred million chicken heads are not as valuable as a single phoenix feather from a tail.

“Actually, we are already lucky to be able to effortlessly earn this credit.”

With the transformation of Ofando, the family’s evaluation of Ofando had been continuously rising.

Coupled with some information from Xia Qing, Eve Star knew that rare crystals were much more important than she had thought.

Such an important thing, and because she participated early, plus the higher-ups seemed unwilling to involve too many interests, she could firmly hold her position here.

Recently, many people from her family had sent gifts to her door, but she had asked them to be turned away.

For her, this was an extraordinary opportunity.

“Hmph, I just don’t like that kid.”

Perhaps it was the natural incompatibility between a rich girl and a poor boy.

But there are always exceptions.

31 years later.

Eve Star, who had been dealing with family matters, heard that Xia Qing and An Wulinna were getting very close.

She heard they were caught in an intimate moment.

She was very surprised.

However, Eve Star later had to admit that this pair was truly a match made in heaven.

An Wulinna, utilizing the resources behind Xia Qing, received massive support for his research on Void Crystal.

Although the laboratory’s resources were directly invested by the Federation, practically an inexhaustible supply of money.

An Wulinna himself was not a formal scholar, and most of the resources were still skewed towards those scholars.

Even though An Wulinna was their student, scholars including Ke Mingting did not believe that An Wulinna had the ability to access Void Crystal or research space.

This led to An Wulinna constantly taking courses rather than conducting actual research.

After Xia Qing provided An Wulinna with resources, An Wulinna officially embarked on his research path.

Subsequently, he made rapid progress.

An Wulinna’s talent in material science was very strong.

In the following few decades, he solved many key problems from Void Crystal to Void Foil.

Afterward, he formally joined the research group and worked with other scholars to produce Void Foil.

An Wulinna’s inclusion as a disruptor in the research group had a positive effect, giving those old-fashioned minds more novel ideas.

In 237758 AD.

Void Foil was born.

A foil that perfectly covered space.

The other scholars gained fame, and An Wulinna received a corresponding reward: 100 million energy coins.

In 237801 AD.

Void Crystal was thoroughly researched, extracted from Ofando, and obtained through laboratory synthesis.

The following year, Void Foil began mass production.

…

Ella knew but didn’t care about these minor events happening in the Federation.

It only focused on results.

The birth of Void Foil solved many problems for the current Federation.

For example, the Lower Flank front line.

After Destiny Ring Star escaped from the Mirror Civilization, a portion of its warships headed towards the core regions of the Federation.

Ella dispatched forces to block these errant warships and annihilated most of them.

However, Destiny Ring Star then reorganized its fleet in the Lower Flank and launched another attack.

This time, the enemy warship count reached 20 million.

At this moment, the Federation’s Lower Flank once again became precarious.

Among them, the most threatening were actually Advancing Civilization’s super-microscopic technology and space jump technology.

This was precisely Void Foil’s specialty.

Ella ordered Void Foil to be applied on the battlefield.

Instantly, the tide of battle began to change.

Because, coincidentally, the Federation’s evasion-class warships could only be countered by Destiny Ring Star in the super-microscopic world.

And upon entering the super-microscopic world, they would be separated from the macroscopic world, which forced Destiny Ring Star to leave a portion of its warships in the super-microscopic world.

Furthermore, with the blockade of energy extraction from the super-microscopic world, Advancing Civilization’s high-power weapons and small energy compartments, maintained by energy extraction, were quickly depleted.

The situation on the front line was instantly pulled back from extreme crisis.

The war was once again dragged into a protracted conflict.

Destiny Ring Star’s main fleet was still entangled with the Silk Civilization.

The Silk Civilization’s strength was unexpectedly formidable; the main factor was that it was impossible to deal with.

How to attack the Silk Civilization was still an unknown for Destiny Ring Star.

It could be said that Void Foil immediately became the primary means on the battlefield upon its debut.

It directly turned the tide of battle.

Ella simultaneously sent the Void Foil technology to several core locations of the Federation.

These cores all shared a common characteristic.

Near black holes.

What it wanted to do was very simple: connect a stable wormhole between all black holes.

Void Foil itself had the effect of stabilizing space.

Although, it wasn’t that strong.

But for Human Civilization, it was enough.

Ella predicted that Void Foil’s limit was to maintain a wormhole with a diameter of 1 kilometer for 10 hours.

It sounds useless.

But what if combined with a Super Counter-Impulse Matter Transfer Device?

10 hours would be enough for a large flow of information to pass through the wormhole to hundreds or thousands of light-years away.

Saving an unknown amount of time.

The military market alone was so vast, not to mention other uses.

For example, for urgent material transportation, a wormhole was too convenient.

Ella requested the rapid establishment of the Federation’s first wormhole network.

Although there was still a difference from truly long-term maintained wormholes, this was definitely a solid major step.

At the same time.

The Federation’s research into the “Basic Space Warp Technology” provided by the Crystalline Civilization also officially yielded results.

The first warship equipped with space warp was produced.

It was named the “Traverse-class warship”.
