I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The massive antimatter reactor radiated a menacing high temperature. This thing is difficult to produce, with roughly 1000 grams of antimatter produced annually.

Don't underestimate 1000 grams; the energy it releases is equivalent to over 20 million tons of TNT, concentrated in one area with enormous destructive power.

"Even the Greedy Demon God couldn't withstand a direct attack," Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Around it lies the nuclear fusion power generation device.

This fusion device is not the metallic and mechanical structure Lu Yuan imagined, but rather a grand biomechanical hybrid resembling an underwater turtle shell temple.

Its main body is shaped like a spiral cone, wrapped in layer upon layer of translucent bio-mineral shells. Ghostly blue fluorescent patterns flow on its surface, flickering as if breathing.

"This controlled nuclear fusion is quite different from ours on Earth."

"Haha, typical nuclear fusion devices are Tokamak reactors. But we Turtle People use some idealist materials, making maintenance easier and reducing industrial scale requirements."

Regardless of whether it's a Level 5 Civilization or a Sixth-level Civilization, both use nuclear fusion to supply energy. The proportion of materialist energy used will continue to grow, while the proportion of ideal energy use will keep decreasing.

The main reason is that ideal energy, Spirit Essence, Civilization Points, cannot be obtained on a large scale, whereas nuclear fusion energy is virtually inexhaustible.

"Following this logic, the greater the proportion of materialist energy utilization, the stronger the civilization?" Lu Yuan explored these devices, finding them bizarre and eye-opening.

"For Sixth-level Civilizations, that's indeed the case," said the chief Turtle-man scientist, "but by Level 7 Civilization standards, even nuclear fusion isn't enough."

"Because space jumps require a massive amount of energy."

"Nuclear fusion still requires material, hydrogen, helium. One space jump uses a tremendous amount of material."

"Starting at Level 7 Civilization, you must research utilizing vacuum zero-point energy."

"Only by utilizing vacuum zero-point energy can you obtain endless energy and navigate the Sea of Chaos. That's why only a Level 7 Civilization can traverse the Sea of Chaos... Sixth-level Civilizations, even with space technology, will become trapped if they can't find resources."

"I see... then can various idealistic forging techniques be used in the Sea of Chaos?" Lu Yuan asked, "If not, that would be troublesome."

The answer came: "Of course they can, but there are many restrictions. The simplest method is to bring a massive amount of Pangu Continent material and ecology, at least the mass of a continent, the more biological life, the better."

"In such circumstances, ideal methods can naturally be used, the more material, the better."

A continent? Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Isn't this robbing Pangu Continent, aren't you afraid of being cursed by the World Will?

"Anything else?"

"The hardest method is naturally... pursuing logical self-consistency in forging science."

The Turtle-man scientist sighed: "Most idealistic items rely on the rules of Pangu Continent itself for construction, while their microstructure is not self-consistent."

"Once you leave Pangu Continent, they lose their effectiveness. However, occasionally, some idealistic items achieve self-consistency by chance; the mysteries within are hard to explore."

"Additionally... most life is self-consistent and can still use their abilities in the Sea of Chaos. It might be weaker but won't completely disappear."

Lu Yuan was slightly moved, much like a house built on Earth's gravity. If gravity changes, the house will collapse.

But some houses are especially solid and won't collapse no matter how the gravity changes—that scenario is known as micro-logical self-consistency.

He reached into his Storage Space and took out a few wooden short swords: "Are these self-consistent?"

These were his practice pieces, not very high-level items,

yet they utilized the "Heaven and Earth Forging Technique!"

The Turtle People suspiciously took the swords, examining them, initially puzzled.

But gradually, they saw the clues, their breaths stagnated.

These short swords were flawless and seamless, without any marks of craftsmanship, almost like they grew naturally out of the wood?

The patterns on their surface appear carved, but upon closer inspection, seem organically grown...

And how did you bring out so many at once?!

"They're actually idealistically self-consistent, how is this possible?"

"If it were just one item, it might be coincidence, but so many..."

The Turtle People's master craftsmen were numerous, yet they couldn't fathom it.

This time, they truly admired Lu Yuan, persistently questioning.

Lu Yuan smiled but didn't elaborate; explaining it was too troublesome, and even if he did, they wouldn't learn it quickly, and it might seem like boasting.

Gui Wu, Turtle-man number 3, knew that the [Heavenly Court Myth] was in Lu Yuan's hands and had seen the "Heaven and Earth Forging Technique" demonstrated in "Boundaryless," harboring some guesses.

But he didn't dare disclose too much—after all, Lu Yuan's theoretical status ranked higher than their number 1; if he leaked it, the consequences would be dire!

However, he did enjoy seeing Lu Yuan display his strength.

The Turtle People are powerful, and arrogance inevitably appears. It's good to have a strong individual suppress their emotions!

"Haha, don't rush, these engineering projects can't be completed overnight."

"More exchanges and inquiries in the future, take it slow."

Lu Yuan chuckled: "Not really inquiries, just mutual learning."
