Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 1046: Chapter 152: Star Gate 2

Originally, everyone was an insider.

Ah, pff, so you, sir, are an insider!

When Gao Gong heard this in the end, he immediately delightedly accepted the ’Damaged Star Gate’.

Gao Gong did not doubt their falsification, the reason is simple, this kind of falsification is easily exposed, for example, as long as Gao Gong contacts the ’Purple Giant Star’, with just a word, he can verify the authenticity.

’Pai Daxing’ most likely is also unaware whether they possess the contact details of the Mechanical Sovereign, and even more unaware of the role they played during the attack on the Cyber Test Field by the ’Supreme Being’.

”Star Gate, hey, didn’t expect to get hold of this thing early in the game, even though it’s a seriously damaged version—”

In the cosmic vacuum, Gao Gong opened the System Panel, observing the attributes of the ’Star Gate’.

Name: Star Gate

Tier: Tier Seven

Civilization Manufacturer: Ancient Guardian

Damage Level: 99.9%

Function One: Matter Teleportation (Restriction)

Function Three: Damaged

Function Four: Damaged

Function Five: Damaged

Function Six: Damaged

Function Seven: Damaged

...

Note: A piece of Super Technology from an Advanced Civilization, unfortunately, most of its functions are damaged, if not for the special material of the Star Gate, it would be completely unusable

’Ancient Guardian, so it’s them—’

Gao Gong looked at the civilization column in surprise.

He had heard of this ancient civilization.

Similar to the Ancient Mechanical Civilization behind Purple Giant Star, this ’Ancient Guardian’ is also part of an ancient civilization, and both are Level 7 Civilizations.

But it is not a ’Mechanical Civilization’, rather an ’Energy Civilization’.

It is said that the Civilization Leader’s true form of the Ancient Guardian is among the first batch of Energy Life born after the Big Bang, ranked in the top ten among the Dark Matter mightiest beings.

If it’s them, then leaving behind a Star Gate wouldn’t be surprising.

After all, any ancient civilization has experienced hundreds of Advanced Civilization Wars, leaving an ancient Star Gate in an ancient battlefield is not unexpected.

’But if it’s an ’Ancient Star Gate’, perhaps after repairing it, there would be hyperspatial pathways to certain ’Ancient Battlefield Relics’ or the ’Dark Matter Kingdom’.’

Gao Gong began to have pleasant imaginations.

Although repairing it is probably more difficult than creating a new Star Gate, it’s still nice to imagine.

”Moreover—”

Gao Gong pondered for a moment, glanced back at the Mechanical Serpent Constellation that had shrunk to the size of a fist, confirming that at this distance, basically no one could spot cosmic anomalies with the naked eye, then proceeded to reopen the Star Gate.

Similar to the previous Space Storm, but its scale was clearly much smaller. True cosmic space is far sturdier than temporary space environments.

Facing the Star Gate full of spatial cracks.

Gao Gong took a deep breath, extended his right hand, and as his arm extended, it gradually transformed under the influence of the surrounding magnetic field, becoming transparent, able to communicate with different spaces.

He inserted his arm into the Star Gate.

’It’s not entirely impassable for humans—’

As the thought crossed Gao Gong’s mind, the next moment, his expression dramatically changed, the space in front seemed to infinitely compress, yet infinitely bulge towards him, he yanked back, and with a ’puff’, his right arm broke off at the base.

[Your Blood Volume -50000]

”Damn!”

Gao Gong’s figure flickered, reappearing outside the Star Gate at a distance of tens of thousands of meters, his face darkening, staring hard at the door, he exhaled a long breath after a while.

”Humans really shouldn’t be superstitious.”

With a thought, there was a ’zzz’ sound, a segment of metallic skeleton protruded from the wound, moments later, a metallic forearm, palm, and five fingers grew successively.

Metal Loss Within -50%.

Additional State One (Memory Metal): Loss below 50% recovery speed of two seconds, loss above 50% recovery speed five seconds, every 30 hours max: 800%

Quickly, large amounts of flesh, nerve fibers, and skin grew along the metallic skeleton.

The loss in this aspect was very minor, negligible.

This is the advantage of being a Carbon-Based Creature.

Soon, an arm identical to the previous one grew out, Gao Gong flexed it a few times, muttering to himself.

”The damage level is indeed severe, I used ’Magnetic Field’ to contact space, trying to find an undamaged spatial pathway, but as soon as I released the Biological Magnetic Field, it was immediately devoured, the internal damage of the Star Gate has reached ’Space Annihilation’ level.”

And the phenomenon of ’Space Annihilation’, generally only occurs in large star body collapses, like the destruction of a sun, or advanced Space Weapons like interstellar Black Hole Gun, Star System Level Space Clamp, etc., can cause it.

”It seems I have to wait until I absorb spatial Bloodline and restore Spatial Talent before attempting again.”

After having an arm clamped off, Gao Gong surprisingly calmed down.

After all, it’s a Star Gate!

Even among ’Superluminal Speed Technology Equipment’, it is top-notch.

If light-speed is closely related to time, then Superluminal Technology has nothing to do with time.

In ordinary understanding, it’s more akin to an ’Instant Teleportation’, appearing instantly from one end of space to the other end.

Theoretically, the observable cosmos being over 90 billion light-years, with this technology, you could appear from one end to another instantly.

Directly traversing countless Star Systems, Star System Clusters, Super Star System Clusters, Cosmic Great Wall, reaching the Other Shore of the cosmos.

Of course, this is just theoretical.

And theory remains theory simply because all ’Superluminal Technology Products’ have not pushed this theory’s limits.

Take the Tier 4 Star Destroyer, its ’Teleportation Engine’ is a Superluminal Technology Product, yet it’s the most basic kind, each teleportation is about 100 light-years.

Each teleportation demands a wait of at least 3 to 4 days for the space storm surrounding the spaceship to dissipate, and under ’Continuous Teleportation State’, the whole Star Destroyer would explode.

This is why Gao Gong spent the better part of half a year clearing routes through three Cyber Test Fields.

Most of that time was wasted waiting for the space storms to naturally disperse.

And even the most ordinary Star Gate spans a Star System.

This directly breaks the limits of time and space, likewise representing the technological limitations of a Low-level Civilization.

Only the Ascension Civilization can produce ’Superluminal Technology Products’, stepping from the Endless Cosmos onto the first tier of an Advanced Civilization.

But that’s quite a digression.

For Gao Gong, the 5000 light-years ’Black Market channel’ is enough to break most of the Level 3 Civilization’s blockade methods.

”Originally planned to rendezvous with my fleet first, but since that ’Pai Daxing’ can be trusted, I might as well head to the new Space Coordinates of the Long-horned Whale Alpha instead.”

As an Interstellar Black Market, naturally it has ’superluminal means’.

Gao Gong initially hesitated to use it, mainly worried about tricks being played during ’Superluminal Travel’.

Tier 4’s combat power is insignificant under ’Superluminal Mode’.

’According to that ’Pai Daxing’s’ account, this market’s ’superluminal means’ are ’Super Gravity Catapult’, the advantage of such ’Slingshot Technology’ is individual use, while the downside is this thing resembles bungee jumping, the process is a bit frightening.’

...

Long-horned Whale Alpha

As a Resource Planet, the energy materials stored within are tens of thousands times that of a regular planet, virtually equivalent to a fixed star.

Just the gaseous energy leaking from it automatically forms an energy defense ring at the planet’s atmosphere level.

And typically, a planet only has one atmosphere layer, it has nine ’Energy Atmosphere’ layers.

Each atmosphere layer’s energy defense is at least 1 million points.

Meaning, even without doing anything, the outer layer’s energy defense of this planet reaches 9 million points.
