Low Dimensional Game

Lu Zhiyu watched the scenes playing out from the control room. He could see the airships landing on the Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. Most of them were controlled by exploratory robots that sent back pictures. However, some of them were controlled by astronauts. They walked on the planets with their astronaut suits.

Some of the astronauts were having a great time. They were excited to have reached the Moon and Mars. They were breathed heavily when talking to each other and their video footage was shaky.

There was also footage of spaceships observing the planets in the near distance. The ring of Uranus was visible in the footage, which was very different from Jupiter and Saturn’s rings as it was dark and narrow.

It would be impossible to check every spot in the solar system, however, if Dark Mother Tree had really tainted this area, it would have been hard to miss. Lu Zhiyu also found it impossible that the power had spread here, otherwise the creatures on the earth would’ve been extinct.

At this moment, the Truth was on track toward Neptune, and it was about to leave the solar system.

Everything was normal, aside from when they were trying to get through the asteroids.

“We’ve checked every planet, but we didn’t find any traces of living beings. Also, we didn’t find any traces of pollution left by the Dark Mother Tree, either. However, we did find something strange!”

Gu Chaoran immediately showed some of the materials they had discovered to Lu Zhiyu. There some remains of spaceships among the asteroids.

The broken black spaceship was very eye-catching in the cold universe. It had been floating in the universe for years, hiding among the aerolites.

“Is this a spaceship left behind from the Atlantis civilization?”

“It shouldn’t be. The styles are very different. Besides, after we retrieved the spaceship, we found that the technologies are also very different. It’s a small, unmanned exploration vessel. There aren’t any living beings in the spaceship, and it’s completely operated by a computer.”

“This exploration ship doesn’t have the ability to travel at light speed like the Truth. We speculate that it might enter the solar system following other larger spaceships. Of course, there’s also the possibility that it comes from another star system close to us. You can check it out for yourself below deck if you want.”

Lu Zhiyu stayed silent for a while. Was it possible that a spaceship from another star system had entered the solar system? This was the first time Lu Zhiyu realized that this small solar system was actually much more interesting than he’d imagined.

“When will we leave the solar system?”

“When we finish exploring Neptune, the Truth will reach light speed and will travel at one point five times the light speed at its fastest. It’ll take another five years for us to arrive at Alpha Centauri.”

Lu Zhiyu nodded and said, “Sounds great. Let’s begin our astral civilization plans!”

…

One tall being after another appeared in the nutrition cabin. They had human bodies, and there were both males and females among them.

Each of them was a relative of Lu Zhiyu. They inherited his powerful and mythical bloodline. He could feel the natural connection between himself and them.

“What… What should I call them?” Gu Chaoran could feel that his voice was trembling. Out of nowhere, he felt terrified by such beautiful creatures. Perhaps it was because of how they were made, or because they had the same kind of bodies as he did, or perhaps because they lived in glass jars filled with nutrition liquids.

As for other members, some of them were excited because they saw it as a miracle of creation. Some cheered for the birth of a new species. Others thought it was blasphemy to natural life, but those who thought so didn’t dare express it in front of Lu Zhiyu.

“New human beings!”

“They’re also human beings like us. They are new human beings who are designed to adapt to life in outer space.”

The new human beings created by Lu Zhiyu had some of the features of fairies. They could live for a thousand years, and they could photosynthesize. They could survive for a long time without eating and drinking. They had their main brain and a demi-brain, a demi-brain which was mythical and intelligent. It was the organ used to perform magic and sanctify organs. However, it was more difficult for them to breed and mature. The maturation and growth of mythical organs were related to mind power.

Their supernatural power was akin to that of the machine civilization. They could assimilate and restructure mechanical beings. They were not very powerful when they were still young. They could only assimilate some simple engineering robots or living robots. The engineering robots would be their avatars.

As they were upgraded, from level-one to level-two to level-three, they would be able to control larger mechanical beings. The mythical intelligence of the demi-brain gave them the power of calculation and operation.

And when they became a level-seven mythical being, they could even control huge spaceships like the Truth. The spaceship would be their own bodies, like a floating city or a divine kingdom. They could roam the universe by themselves, leading a huge army and countless mechanical beings. One person could lead a machine civilization.

However, there were no magical networks or portals in the universe so they couldn’t absorb source form. However, Lu Zhiyu had given them a special device just like the magic network. Compared to the magic network, it was more like something that came from science fiction. The device could train these new human beings to strengthen their supernatural powers.

Besides, their future was unlimited because technology would be their nutrition. As technology advanced, their powers would follow.

As for Lu Zhiyu, who was the source of their power, he continued absorbing their energy to explore the truth and the origin of the universe.

Lu Zhiyu took a look at the members of the management committee of the Truth. He didn’t care much about what they thought. He said, “You can also choose to become a new human being if you want, but I need to tell you that there’s a risk. You can ask Gu Chaoran about it, and he’ll answer all your questions. It’s your choice, and I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do.”

After he finished speaking, a new female human being curled up in the nutrition cabin opened her eyes. Her hair waved in the water, and she looked in Lu Zhiyu’s eyes.

Lu Zhiyu wasn’t anxious at all, instead, he was pleased.

“The first human being has been born!”

As for the members of the committee who stayed, they were responsible for taking care of the new human beings. Lu Zhiyu and Gu Chaoran worked together. The first batch of the new human beings would live in the city at the center of the Truth. There were skyscrapers and towns. In the near future, the spaceship Truth would have a bustling civilization.

After exploring Neptune, the Truth finished the last of its work. It left the solar system and headed for another star system.

After they started the engine, they immediately created another warp field, which enveloped their entire starship.

At this moment, a message was sent from the Koyebo Zone, alerting the spaceship Truth. The members who were operating the Truth were all terrified as they didn’t know what was happening.

The intelligence sub-brain David showed up first.

“The message was sent by Pluto. It means that the galaxy’s interstellar civilization congratulates you for entering the galaxy era. Please depart from your mother solar system and go to XXXX Alliance to register. If you join the galaxy interstellar civilization, you’ll receive…”

“Again, the galaxy interstellar civilization congratulates you for entering the interstellar era. Please depart from your other solar system and head to XXXX Alliance…”

Everyone was dazed. They hadn’t expected this to happen right after they got out of their solar system. Lu Zhiyu smiled, “Interesting.”

“Where’s the coordinate?”

David immediately projected an astral picture and found the location.

“Gliese 581g planet. It’s a planet twenty-two light-years away from the earth, fit for living beings to inhabit.”

The Truth was from a civilization outside the galaxy. Lu Zhiyu realized he didn’t know much about the galaxy. Now, he realized that the galaxy might be more interesting than he first thought.

“Let’s go to Alpha Centauri first, and this Gliese 581g planet will be our next destination. Let’s see how interesting this universe is!”

They turned on the engine again, and the warp field enveloped the entire spaceship Truth, flying into the depths of the universe.
