Transformation

“Luo Feng, the selection is complete. I’m sending the list of items you need to purchase to your laptop now.”

Almost a second after Luo Feng instructed Babata to filter, Babata replied.

“That fast!” Luo Feng was startled.

“I am the highest-grade intelligence, a ‘sentient AI’! Of course, my filtering speed is fast.” Babata’s voice in Luo Feng’s mind carried a hint of pride.

In the study.

Luo Feng looked up at Jia Yi, who was in front of him. Jia Yi, holding a teacup, noticed Luo Feng’s gaze and chuckled, “No rush! There’s a lot of data; it’ll take three or four hours to go through it all. Luo Feng, take your time!” With that, Jia Yi actually walked over to a bookshelf, picked out a book, and began to read.

Luo Feng smiled wryly inwardly.

‘Three or four hours?’

It would indeed take a long time for a normal person to review everything, but the crucial part was that the one filtering the data and making the selections was the sentient AI, ‘Babata’! It was done in less than a second.

‘If I tell him I’m done now, Jia Yi will probably think I’m a monster.’

‘I’ll just have to wait a few hours.’ Luo Feng moved his mouse and clicked open the file Babata had sent.

Upon opening it.

It was a detailed list of items to be purchased.

“So much?” Luo Feng was surprised.

The sheer volume of ancient civilization relics marked on the list was immense; it would probably take ten large passenger planes to store it all.

“Babata, you chose so many things?” Luo Feng quickly asked in his mind.

“So many? Not many at all,” Babata said. “What are we trying to do? We’re building a spaceship! From scratch, we’re building a vessel capable of traveling through the cosmos, from one star system to another! The materials for the spaceship itself are extensive! Most of the alloys and other materials manufactured on Earth are simply unsuitable, so we can only use these wreckage materials!”

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

A spaceship capable of cosmic travel would indeed be very heavy and require a vast amount of materials.

“Those wreckage materials are worthless. One Muya Crystal can buy countless materials in the cosmos,” Babata scoffed.

“That’s in the cosmos! It’s different on our Earth.”

…

Three hours later.

“Jia Yi, I’ve made my selection.” Luo Feng turned his laptop, facing the screen towards Jia Yi. “Here’s the purchase list.”

“Oh, that was quite fast.”

Jia Yi smiled, moved his chair closer to the desk, and began to scrutinize the list. As he read, he grew increasingly surprised. “Luo Feng, why are you buying this spaceship wreckage? This ancient civilization spaceship has already broken into several sections, and each country has claimed parts of it. Even the section we have has been heavily scavenged. You want *that*?”

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.

“One, two, three…”

Jia Yi was very surprised as he looked at the list.

He had originally thought Luo Feng would purchase some instruments with special functions, but he discovered… Luo Feng hadn’t bought a single one of those! Instead, Luo Feng had purchased various types of wreckage and fragments! Some of these fragments had incredibly exaggerated hardness; Earth’s technology couldn’t even cut them.

Only some detachable parts within the spaceship wreckage were usable.

“The quantity you want is massive. Just one section of this spaceship wreckage weighs over 800 tons!” Jia Yi looked at Luo Feng. “Moreover, the value of this wreckage is unknown, especially some of the fuselage materials, which we currently can’t even damage! They’re far, far stronger than our SS-grade materials. So the price…”

“Jia Yi, it’s just wreckage; don’t be too harsh with the price,” Luo Feng quickly chuckled. “These remnants are essentially scrap metal that Earth can’t process or utilize. Besides, the HR Alliance and other nations also possess some wreckage.”

Jia Yi frowned.

Indeed!

Ancient civilization spaceship wreckage was indeed stockpiled by various nations! For instance, Hong, the Grand Hall Master of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, had his entire headquarters housed within a large interstellar transport ship. To call it precious… these unique spaceship materials were certainly valuable! But to call them worthless, because the materials couldn’t be cut or utilized, they truly were scrap.

“All the wreckage and fragments you want combined weigh over five thousand tons!” Jia Yi looked at Luo Feng. “Even if it’s scrap wreckage, for such a heavy and vast amount of ancient civilization remnants, how about this: three Muya Crystals!”

Luo Feng hadn’t spoken yet.

In Luo Feng’s mind, Babata angrily cursed, “Five thousand tons of scrap! What a joke! An aircraft carrier on your Earth weighs tens of thousands of tons! A small cosmic spaceship weighing tens of thousands of tons is perfectly normal. One Muya Crystal can easily buy ten small spaceships in the cosmos. For scrap materials, even hundreds of millions of tons wouldn’t be much, yet he wants three?! Does he think Muya Crystals grow on trees?!”

“Too expensive,” Luo Feng shook his head.

“Five thousand tons of ancient civilization materials, though,” Jia Yi quickly retorted.

“Our Grand Hall Master’s headquarters, how heavy do you think that giant spaceship is?” Luo Feng looked at Jia Yi. “That’s a colossal spaceship over ten thousand meters long!”

An interstellar transport ship, over ten thousand meters long.

If you calculate its weight! It would definitely be in the hundreds of millions of tons!

“Are you suggesting that giant spaceship is worth tens of thousands of Muya Crystals?” Luo Feng looked at Jia Yi.

“That’s not a fair comparison,” Jia Yi quickly said. “That’s the headquarters of your Extreme Martial Arts Dojo! And it’s impossible to cut open that giant spaceship.”

“Alright, how about this: two Muya Crystals,” Luo Feng said.

“Luo Feng, are you crazy?! Two? I’d think one was too much!” Babata shouted in his mind.

“Two?” Jia Yi’s eyes widened slightly, then he nodded. “Fine, I’ll give you this much face, Luo Feng. Two Muya Crystals it is! I’ll arrange for someone to deliver these over five thousand tons of ancient civilization materials to your Yangzhou location.” Jia Yi was secretly delighted.

These remnants had been unusable, just sitting there as scrap. To exchange them for two Muya Crystals was a huge profit! He had previously thought one Muya Crystal would be a good deal.

“Luo Feng, where should these materials be stored?” Jia Yi asked.

“In the wilderness outside Yangzhou City. I’ll designate a large, dilapidated factory warehouse in the wilderness for you to place them in,” Luo Feng smiled faintly.

…

With the deal struck, both parties signed a contract, and Luo Feng provided one Muya Crystal as a deposit.

“Luo Feng, are you crazy? Two Muya Crystals for over five thousand tons of scrap? I guarantee Jia Yi would have agreed to one Muya Crystal,” Babata grumbled, clearly displeased.

“In the Base City era, the war between nations and monsters consumes a lot. Giving an extra one can be considered support for the nation,” Luo Feng said.

Babata was speechless!

…

The next day, Luo Feng once again took his intelligent fighter jet alone to meet Madam Yisaduona.

From Madam Yisaduona, he also purchased a large quantity of wreckage materials, over 9,000 tons. However, this time, it only cost him 1 Muya Crystal! While purchasing was easy, transportation proved to be a significant challenge! Fortunately, the HR Alliance’s branch in Huaxia Nation had many wreckage materials, and transporting them by train was manageable.

…

The deals were done, but it would take one to two months for the materials to arrive.

…

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential District.

Luo Feng’s training hall on the second floor had been divided into two sections. One part remained the training hall, while the other housed the ‘Ancient Civilization Gravity Room’! This ancient civilization gravity room was six meters long, six meters wide, and six meters high! It had pierced through the rooftop, and as a result… Luo Feng’s villa had to be modified to install it.

January 13, 2059.

Inside Luo Feng’s gravity room at home.

“1 to 1000 times gravity?” Luo Feng stepped into his home gravity room for the first time.

“Who modified this? It’s terrible!” Babata cursed. “This is, after all, a basic model gravity room from the cosmos, with a gravity range of 0 to 1000 cosmic standard gravity. Damn… look, your Earth actually converted the gravity room’s energy source to electricity! Using electricity to power a gravity room? I don’t know whether to call you clever or foolish.”

“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng quickly asked. “You said, cosmic standard gravity?”

“In the cosmos, one unit of standard gravity is equivalent to 8.89 times your Earth’s surface gravity! That means one cosmic standard gravity is 8.89g! This gravity room, when it left the factory, had a gravity range of 0 to 8890g. Now it’s only 1 to 1000g!” Babata added, “It’s not your Earthlings’ fault; you don’t have suitable energy sources. It’s already impressive that you managed to power it with electricity.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

When Earthlings discovered the ruins, it was likely just wreckage. They salvaged a gravity room from it, but without an energy source, they naturally had to find a way to modify it. Powering it successfully with electricity was quite an achievement.

“Leave it to me!”

“I’ll transform the gravity room to be even better, using C12 energy crystals. These are energy crystals only occasionally used by advanced cosmic civilizations. I estimate that improving it to 0 to 90,000 times Earth’s gravity will be its limit. Any further modification, and the gravity room itself won’t be able to withstand it,” Babata said. “There’s no way around it, just like cars on your Earth. The car’s materials are what they are; if it goes too fast, it’ll fall apart! If I further modify the internal circuit structure of this gravity room and increase the energy, it will collapse.”

Luo Feng wiped his forehead. “That’s enough, that’s enough.”

A maximum of 90,000 times Earth’s gravity!

Truly astounding!

However, recalling a video he had once seen, where two cosmic-level powerhouses battled on a white dwarf star, Luo Feng calmed down. In that video, the surface gravity of that white dwarf star was three hundred million times that of Earth’s surface!!!

90,000 times compared to three hundred million times—they weren’t even in the same league!

But for his current self, it was more than enough!

…

With Babata’s methods, intelligently controlling tools for operation, the ancient civilization gravity room was completely transformed overnight!

“From today onwards, Luo Feng, you will cultivate daily in the gravity room!”

“Warrior cultivation, in the gravity room. Psychic power cultivation, also in the gravity room! For someone like you, whose foundation isn’t very solid, the effects will be excellent.”

“Hmm, although you are a Planet-level First-tier! Your muscles and bones can withstand relatively high gravity, but your heart, liver, lungs, and other internal organs are quite fragile. This indicates an unstable foundation and a lack of internal-external unity. Alright, let’s start with 100 times Earth’s gravity. This will quickly improve your internal organs.”

Under Babata’s guidance, Luo Feng began his days of ‘laying a solid foundation’ in the transformed gravity room.
