Chapter 3: Herrscher of the End: Ah, I fight Ultraman?
Although he knew that his actions would not interfere with the operation of the system, he couldn't help holding his breath when he inserted the Taaffeite Stone into the system.
The next second, as half of the Taaffeite Stone's body turned into a spot of light and disappeared, the progress of "prototype framework construction" was completely completed.
[Time and Space Fracture Technology has been successfully developed.]
[Please enter the construction system and build a prototype.]
Ai Yue took a look at the Taaffeite Stone on the table and found that this gem still had 47% of its usability value left. It can only be said that it is indeed a rare material.
Following the system's prompts, a series of complex knowledge flooded into Ai Yue's mind, and the system interface in front of him was gradually replaced by a blank.
Ai Yue's system plug-in is actually divided into two parts. Climbing the technology tree by piling up materials is only half of it, and the other half is what Ai Yue calls alchemy.
This is what is called "construction system"
As Ai Yue was thinking in his mind, a fingerless glove gradually appeared on the blank interface in front of him. Most of the fingerless glove was covered with metal material and looked a bit heavy. There was a round button on the lower palm, which was convenient for the user to activate with one hand.
[Time and Space Fracture Technology (prototype) has been completed.]
Following the system's prompts, the fingerless gloves gradually became physical, and they left the light curtain in front of Ai Yue's eyes and fell onto the table, making a heavy crashing sound.
The system does not require any materials when making a prototype, just like the things that were used to advance scientific research progress were used here.
Ai Yue put it on his hand, folded his fingers downward, and triggered a rupture in time and space.
For a moment, he seemed to have entered the cracks of time, and all the objects around him were covered with a layer of ambiguous color. This situation lasted for about three seconds before returning to normal.
"Three seconds, that's barely enough." Ai Yue nodded, "There's still a lot of room for improvement."
The Time and Space Fracture Technology requires Honkai energy as energy, but Ai Yue is neither a Herrscher nor a Fusion Warrior now, and does not possess Honkai energy himself. Therefore, this generator also has its own energy source and needs to be replaced every ten uses.
Fortunately, he has a way to obtain Honkai energy.
After playing with the Time and Space Fracture Technology twice more, Ai Yue put his thoughts aside and turned his attention back to the system.
The construction system is not only used to make prototypes. As long as Ai Yue has all the materials needed to make a Time and Space Fracture Technology, he can use the construction system to directly convert them into generators. The entire process does not require any equipment, so Ai Yue calls it alchemy.
[Please select a new research project.]
After Ai Yue turned off the construction system, a system prompt came to his mind, and then the light around him suddenly dimmed.
'It's coming.'
This thought flashed through Ai Yue's mind, and then he saw a galaxy slowly unfolding before his eyes.
The light around him didn't actually get dimmer, it was just suppressed by the brighter light.
This galaxy, where stars gather, is the technology tree displayed by the system. Among the countless stars in the sky, only a few stars stand out.
Those are the scientific research projects completed by Ai Yue.
And at the top of this galaxy...
Ai Yue raised his head and looked towards the highest point. The scene there gradually enlarged in his eyes and finally focused on a lonely star.
The name of that star is "Plasma Spark Tower".
Ai Yue can still remember the unexpected turn of events he felt when he discovered this project.
As a transmigrator, he is very familiar with the future direction of this world. Compared with the next round of civilization that will be born in tens of thousands of years, the current generation is destined to be destroyed. Even if he knows the future, it is difficult to change anything.
But the facts prove that as long as the plug-in is powerful enough, all difficulties are nothing.
What level of thing is the Plasma Spark Tower? It is an energy system that can create the ultimate life form of the Kingdom of Light. With such a thing, what does a mere Herrscher of the End have to worry about?
Of course, the prerequisite is that Ai Yue can complete this project together with all the prerequisite technology trees before the end comes.
Ai Yue's gaze fell downwards again - the Plasma Spark Tower was a project that could only be developed after technology had reached its peak, so the prerequisites it required were naturally numerous, including energy, materials, structure... all aspects involved needed to be solved by Ai Yue.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the gap between him and this goal is as wide as a galaxy.
However, Ai Yue is still very optimistic. After all, the crisis of Herrscher of the End does not necessarily require means of the Plasma Spark Tower to be resolved. Perhaps the problem of Herrscher of the End can be solved halfway through climbing the technology tree.
After all, in the technology tree provided by the system, there are many messy projects such as "Body Transformation (Shocker Company version)", "Spirit Core Contract Technology (Incubator Civilization version)", "Mazinger Z Design Drawings", "Mutant Serum", etc., which seem to be inadequate at first glance.
To be honest, Ai Yue even thought that this system was in the wrong place. Do you need these things to fight the Herrscher of the End? These things seemed to be used to deal with some kind of multiverse-level empire that spanned countless universes and mastered the ultimate secrets of all things, right?
After gathering his messy thoughts, Ai Yue returned to reality and began to choose his next scientific research goal.
Although the system seems very rough and brainless in scientific research, it is very rigorous in lighting up the technology tree. If you do not unlock the prerequisite technology or have the relevant props, you cannot start the corresponding scientific research project.
Originally, given Ai Yue's current situation, he was actually unable to unlock the "Time and Space Fracture Technology" project, because this thing was theoretically developed based on the abilities possessed by the second Herrscher, "Herrscher of the Void".
However, Ai Yue had accidentally obtained a special Honkai energy sample before, which allowed him to skip several prerequisite projects. This kind of luck is obviously not always available.
So this time he honestly chose the "Anti-Honkai Special Alloy III Generation" to lay the foundation for other projects.
Compared with the "Time and Space Fracture Technology", the difficulty of special alloys is much lower and fewer things are required, so Ai Yue plans to stay up all night and try to get it done tonight.
But at this time, Pardofelis's urgent voice came from outside the door: "Brother Yue, Brother Yue, are you asleep? There is something good!"
"The speed of receiving goods today is a bit fast, isn't it?" Ai Yue walked out of the house, not paying too much attention to the girl's words, "What is it this time?"
No matter what Pardofelis stole, she would say it was a good thing. At first, Ai Yue would still have some expectations, but now he has learned to regulate his expectations to avoid being too disappointed.
However, when Pardofelis put the metal box in her hand on the coffee table, Ai Yue's expression suddenly froze.
There was a familiar-looking logo printed on the surface of the metal box; it was a fluttering moth with flame-like patterns at the end of its wings.
This time it's really good stuff—it's the Fire Moth's mission equipment box!
