Chapter 379
Stunned
"A Mechanical Race Immortal!" Luo Feng felt a surge of pressure. Immortal. These two words represented absolute supremacy. A single Immortal being could overturn the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield! An Immortal being could destroy a planet with a single punch. Their physical bodies could reach light speed, traversing the cosmos! Roaming freely between the Primal Universe and the Dark Universe was as easy as eating for them. "Babata, if we try to get our hands on an Immortal's spaceship now, will we encounter any difficulties?" Luo Feng asked inwardly. "An Immortal being wouldn't let someone easily take their spaceship, right?" "Of course," Babata replied. "It's like the Yunmo Star. If I were to forcibly close its gates, even a Sector Lord wouldn't be able to break into the Yunmo Star! As for this Mechanical Race spaceship, it all depends on your character and luck. Because Mechanical Race Immortals are different from other racial Immortals." "'Different?'" Luo Feng was taken aback. "'Yes. Luo Feng, let me ask you, what is generally used to control a spaceship?'" Babata inquired. "'An intelligent optical computer,'" Luo Feng chuckled. "'Exactly, an intelligent optical computer. Your teacher used me to control the Yunmo Star.'" "'However, every member of the Mechanical Race is an intelligent lifeform! Far more advanced than any intelligent optical computer... As for the greatest among the Mechanical Race, a 'Mechanical Race Immortal,' they are intelligent lifeforms even stronger than me,'" Babata explained. "'Tell me, would such a being need a dedicated intelligent optical computer to pilot their spaceship?'" "'You mean...'" Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "'A Mechanical Race Immortal, when piloting a spaceship, only needs to use a billionth of their operational capability to perfectly control a cosmic vessel with ease,'" Babata said. "'Therefore, Mechanical Race Immortals don't need a dedicated AI to operate their ships; they can easily control them themselves.'" "'But he's dead!'" "'So, there's no one controlling this Mechanical Race spaceship now.'" "'Now it all depends on your luck. If there's a closed barrier from the hatch to the control room of this Mechanical Race spaceship—for example, if the control room door is shut and difficult to open—then we're in big trouble.'" "'If the path is clear, then you're in luck,'" Babata stated. Luo Feng couldn't help but hold his breath. ... Luo Feng and Difan, master and servant, stood in the seawater, silently gazing at the towering pyramid spaceship before them, waiting patiently. About five minutes passed. "'Master, it's a success.'" A mental message arrived. "'Excellent!'" Luo Feng's eyes gleamed. "'My auxiliary AI has begun infiltrating the spaceship's control program. Yes, infiltration successful! Cutting off hatch power supply! Success!'" Babata cheered. "'Luo Feng, let's go! We can enter the spaceship now. Don't worry about attacks in the passage; I've cut off the power supply.'" "'Difan, let's move.'" Luo Feng commanded, taking the lead and flying towards the entrance passage of the pyramid spaceship. The entrance passage was located towards the lower part of the entire pyramid spaceship. The passage was several tens of meters wide. His body was covered by alloy battle armor, and his skin by Moyun battle armor, protecting his entire body meticulously. With a thought, Luo Feng extended a Tengman into the passage. "'It's safe indeed.'" Luo Feng flew directly into the passage, with Difan following close behind. "'What a peculiar layout.'" Upon entering the spaceship, Luo Feng was surprised to find that the layout of the entire pyramid spaceship was unlike the typical arrangements of cosmic vessels used by humanity. Inside the pyramid spaceship, there was a main passage that spiraled upwards in a continuous ring, much like a mountain road. The spiraling passage was a full 30 meters wide, winding around the central core of the pyramid spaceship, ascending continuously. ... The control room of the pyramid spaceship was located approximately 800 meters from the bottom, in the central area. The control room was circular, with a beautiful, crystalline floor. Surprisingly, there were no control panels within the entire room, only a massive crystal sphere suspended above its center. "'Master.'" Baikaluo looked at Luo Feng. "'Well done,'" Luo Feng smiled. "'Babata, scan this spaceship,'" Luo Feng called out. "'Understood.'" "'Energy shield, intact.'" "'Damn, the energy shield's level is incredibly high! Even without considering the ship's hull defense, the energy shield alone can withstand E9-tier attacks. This means... if you're not an Immortal, you simply can't break through this energy shield,'" Babata's voice echoed through the circular control room. Luo Feng, Difan, and Baikaluo were all stunned. Just the energy shield alone was so monstrous... "'Whose cosmic vessel is this? Who was its original owner?'" Baikaluo couldn't help but ask. "'It's too... too insane. Even E9-tier cosmic vessels sold in the universe aren't this outrageous.'" "'Its owner was an Immortal!'" Luo Feng stated. "'A Mechanical Race Immortal!'" Baikaluo and Difan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "'An Immortal? And a Mechanical Race Immortal?'" Any Immortal was incredibly noble. And the Mechanical Race represented incredibly advanced technology. A Mechanical Race Immortal's spaceship... how monstrous would it be! "'Offensive weapons, intact.'" "'Damn, it's truly monstrous! The technological weapons on this Mechanical Race spaceship are even more insane than those on your teacher's ship. It truly lives up to the reputation of the Mechanical Race, known for its technology. A Mechanical Race Immortal's spaceship is simply too... too luxurious, too crazy. It actually has three planet-destroying main cannons and nine E3-tier laser cannons!'" Luo Feng was dumbfounded. "'Planet-destroying cannons?'" The legendary technological weapon, the planet-destroying cannon, as its name suggests, could destroy a planet with a single shot! In terms of power... it could almost rival an Immortal being. Of course, planet-destroying cannons also had their flaws: first, their wide area of effect meant they couldn't concentrate their attack to a single point like an Immortal expert. Second, their energy consumption was astonishingly high. However, even with these drawbacks, it couldn't stop the cosmic human race's yearning for this legendary weapon. "'Power system, intact!'" "'Luo Feng, you've hit the jackpot! This Mechanical Race spaceship's power system is absolutely monstrous. No wonder the entire ship's design features spiraling corridors; it turns out that almost the entire central core of the Mechanical Race spaceship is dedicated to the power system.'" "A 1200-meter-tall spaceship, with over two-thirds of it consisting of power system compartments!" "'Monstrous! This spaceship's instant acceleration, evasion, and overall maneuverability are absolutely no worse than your teacher's Yunmo Star.'" "'I'm speechless.'" "'According to the data within this Mechanical Race spaceship, the ship itself uses alloy, reaching E-tier peak. It possesses self-repairing capabilities! Combined with the energy shield overlay... it's absolutely the pinnacle of E-tier spaceships. Its astonishing maneuverability further makes it incredibly expensive.'" "'And that's not even counting the price of the 'planet-destroying cannons' and other armaments.'" "'Luo Feng, you've truly struck it rich this time. This single Mechanical Race spaceship alone is more expensive than all the treasures from the Realm of Realms combined!!!'" Babata exclaimed. "'Expensive?'" Luo Feng, in the circular control room, wasn't as excited as he initially was. Instead, he looked puzzled. "'Although it's valuable, no matter how valuable, it's still just an E-tier cosmic vessel. Yet the Yunmo Star is F9-tier... Generally, Domain Lords use D-tier ships, and Sector Lords use E-tier. Shouldn't an Immortal being use an F-tier ship? This spaceship is only E-tier peak, it shouldn't be that exaggerated, right?'" "'Wrong, ridiculously wrong!'" Babata cried out. "'Master, it's not like that,'" Baikaluo also said. Luo Feng was puzzled, and Difan beside him was equally confused. "'Luo Feng, after this, don't ever say you're a successor of the Yunmo Star lineage; you'd be disgracing your teacher! To say something so foolish! As for Difan, he was a slave, so it's understandable if he's a bit naive. I always told you to read more, to learn more about cosmic common sense, but you always complained there was too much information...'" Babata began to lecture. "'Where did I go wrong?'" Luo Feng interrupted Babata. "'First, the reason human cosmic vessels aren't excessively expensive is because of alloys!'" "'Pure metal spaceships are considered luxury items. Alloy spaceships are the mainstream. You know this, right?'" Babata said. "'I understand, alloys are cheaper, and offer good value for money,'" Luo Feng nodded. At the same C5-tier, alloys are a hundred times cheaper than pure metals. "'But—'" "'Throughout the entire universe, the strongest alloy is only E9-tier! Whether it's the human race or the even more advanced Mechanical Race, the most advanced alloy they can produce is E9-tier. Therefore, to construct an F-tier cosmic vessel, the only materials that can be used are pure natural metals, like the Red-Mixed Copper Mother your teacher used. Because there simply are no F-tier alloys!'" "'F-tier pure metals are extremely rare!'" "'For example, with Red-Mixed Copper Mother, sometimes an entire Red-Mixed Copper ore vein, after excavation, might only yield a palm-sized piece, weighing one or two tons.'" "'Only a palm-sized piece found in an entire ore vein. To gather enough to form an 800-meter diameter cosmic vessel... this is simply unbelievable. Even selling off the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield wouldn't be enough to cover a fraction of the cost. So, even Immortal beings, the vast majority of them, simply cannot afford it!'" "'Most Immortal experts use E-tier peak spaceships,'" Babata explained. "'The difference between an E-tier peak spaceship used by an Immortal being and one used by a Sector Lord is... the Immortal's ship is much larger, allowing for the construction of sufficiently large power compartments to enhance maneuverability!'" "'A hundred meters long versus a thousand meters long. The volume difference is a thousandfold, and the price difference is also a thousandfold.'" "'This is the difference between an E-tier spaceship used by an Immortal expert and one used by a Sector Lord.'" "'Your teacher was a super expert among Immortals, which is why he could afford the Yunmo Star. Even then, it cost him a vast amount of assets and countless treasures to acquire such a spaceship,'" Babata said. "'And this Mechanical Race Immortal's spaceship is even more advanced than those used by many Immortal experts within the human race!'" "'Mainly, its maneuverability is even more exaggerated.'" "'Let me give you an estimate: a typical E-tier spaceship used by a Sector Lord costs around 1 trillion cosmic dollars. That's equivalent to 1 Mixed Yuan Unit.'" "'An E-tier peak spaceship used by an Immortal being generally reaches several hundred trillion cosmic dollars, equivalent to several hundred Mixed Yuan Units.'" "'Yet, this 1200-meter-tall, E-tier peak Mechanical Race spaceship is worth one to two thousand Mixed Yuan Units!'" "'And all the treasures you obtained earlier in the Realm of Realms combined were only 11 Mixed Yuan Units. So, the entire treasure of the 'Realm of Realms'... is not even comparable to this Mechanical Race Immortal's spaceship!'"
