Only I Walk Alone

Faced with Wu Ge’s question, the intelligent particles responded, “The spaceship possesses new intelligent particles, capable of modifying the genes of the 365th generation of refuge administrators. Therefore, I deduce she should still be alive.”

Wu Ge raised his head, pondering whether the pursuit of immortality and journeying alone into the vast universe was good or bad.

They had fully understood Su Xiaoyu’s situation. Wu Ge and the Fox Immortal breathed a sigh of relief for Su Xiaoyu’s narrow escape. Following this, Wu Ge, in his capacity as an administrator, commanded the intelligent particles to share all the scientific and technological knowledge within the refuge with Xiao Chao, especially the manufacturing techniques for intelligent particles.

This intelligent particle technology was highly sophisticated. The material composed of intelligent particles had very small intermolecular gaps and high density, resulting in extremely strong hardness even in thin slices, making it very suitable for constructing warships.

At the same time, Wu Ge also ordered Xiao Chao to take out all the devices capable of storing information from the storage and scan them. From this experience, it was known that many people’s storage devices might contain a lot of information unknown to them.

For instance, UFOs, mysterious islands, the Bermuda Triangle, etc. Discovering these places and exploring them could lead to unexpected findings.

Following Wu Ge’s orders, Xiao Chao indeed obtained many useful pieces of information from the legacies of ordinary humans and acquired many new technologies through this information.

The intelligent particles obtained from the refuge proved to be very useful. The super steel made with these intelligent particles was very tough, making it a great material for constructing warships. Moreover, as long as the intelligent particles continued to be produced, the warships could self-repair.

After the production of the super steel, Wu Ge tried to infiltrate it with his mental power but found that his mental power easily penetrated this super steel, which puzzled him: “Is there a problem with the production process of the intelligent particles? Why can my mental power penetrate the intelligent particles we produced?”

Xiao Chao, having acquired the relevant technology, said, “The intelligent particles in the refuge that blocked your mental power possess divinity, which can be obtained only after being worshipped on an altar by believers.”

Wu Ge understood then. The intelligent particles he encountered in the refuge combined the powers of both the technological and divine races. Not only were these intelligent particles highly technologically advanced, but they also possessed divinity, which was why they could block Wu Ge’s mental power.

The reason why the divine race could suppress the nether race in cosmic battles was precisely this, and the reason the mechanical race could counter the divine race was probably that the mechanical race lacked souls, rendering the divine race’s mental attacks ineffective.

Understanding this, Wu Ge asked Sister Ya Yi to imbue the intelligent particles with divinity, which was not difficult. Over time, the werewolf race’s religion had grown stronger. Placing the intelligent particles in the church for the followers to worship daily would endow the particles with divinity.

To better absorb the power of belief and gain divinity, Wu Ge simply named these intelligent particles “Creation Particles,” as they could form any element on the periodic table and combine to create any material.

This is why scientists study the microcosm: if humans can control the smallest particles, they can indeed create any material, though this process must obey the laws of conservation of energy and mass.

However, now that Xiao Chao had mastered the manufacturing technique for Creation Particles and the formula for combining elements, it could create any material. Furthermore, any material in the universe could be decomposed and transformed into the material we need.

In this case, even resource-poor places like the Moon, Mars, and asteroid belts could become raw materials for Xiao Chao, enabling it to use Creation Particles to transform the Moon and Mars.

Due to the law of conservation of energy, however, the energy consumed to produce Creation Particles cannot be transformed back into the same amount of energy, meaning Xiao Chao cannot create a perpetual motion machine. Moreover, producing Creation Particles consumes a lot of energy. For example, if Xiao Chao wanted to transform the Moon into a place suitable for human habitation using Creation Particles, it would likely consume twice the total volume of energy of the Moon.

Thus, Xiao Chao still needs to search for energy sources throughout the solar system. Fortunately, energy is not hard to find in the solar system, as satellites like Titan contain liquid methane.

But this satellite is too far from Earth. With the current speed of spacecraft, it might take years to reach, so their immediate problem to solve is the speed of spacecraft movement.

Wu Ge originally thought that there would be data related to that colonizer spaceship within the refuge, a spaceship capable of faster-than-light travel. If they could obtain the relevant data, then they could also manufacture a colonizer spaceship.

Unfortunately, Wu Ge did not find any data related to the spaceship. Just like you cannot expect to find manufacturing data for tanks and planes in a residential complex, it was unlikely for the refuge to store construction data for spaceships.

However, there was no need to rush. The energy resources available on Earth were sufficient, and moreover, suddenly acquiring so much technology required time to digest.

So, after this event, Wu Ge and his team began to experience a relatively stable period of technological development.

For the immortal species, they hardly felt time flying by swiftly. Even though more than thirty years of stable development had passed, Wu Ge and the others felt as if only a few months had gone by.

They were all dealing with their respective matters, but on November 10th, Wu Ge, the Fox Immortal, Xiao Luo, and Sister Ya Yi gathered at the base. Because they each had their own tasks, they mostly acted independently and seldom gathered together.

It was like classmates after graduation; although they kept in touch, they hardly ever gathered together.

They gathered on this day because, starting from tomorrow, all intelligent beings of the Earth civilization would enjoy a ten-day holiday.

November 11th was not Singles’ Day, but the annual Divine Birth Festival. On this day, the Earth civilization reunited with their families, indulging in revelries and enjoying the holiday to its fullest.

Fundamentally, this was not much different from Christmas, New Year’s Day, or Spring Festival from over two hundred years ago. However, from a religious perspective, such a festival could enhance the Earth civilization’s gratitude towards the divine.

Every year on November 11th, Wu Ge would gather with the Fox Immortal, Xiao Luo, and Sister Ya Yi, and they would also celebrate Wu Ge’s birthday, although Wu Ge always requested not to make a big fuss about it, suggesting that gathering for a meal and some fun was enough.

But Xiao Chao would still organize birthday parties with the Fox Immortal and others in different places. Perhaps, the reason behind it was their fear of a quiet and lonely atmosphere.

Why not seize the opportunity to enjoy a lively gathering? After all, every intelligent being fears loneliness.

So, under Xiao Chao’s planning, they celebrated Wu Ge’s birthday together on this day: “Wu Ge, congratulations on turning 250! Happy Birthday!”
