People are Behind the Scenes, and I Can Do the Material Fusion!

116: We have a great time working together.Upon hearing this, a lab technician immediately rushed forward and quickly cut off a power supply.

However, after doing all this, the fear on the faces of the others grew even more—the screen, whose power had been cut, was still lit and continued to operate.

”This...”

Everyone’s faces instantly turned as if they had seen a ghost.

The Time Archmage’s pupils sharply contracted; he swiftly formed hand seals, and a ripple of time spread throughout the laboratory.

But what sent chills down his spine was that the data streams on those screens actually penetrated the time barrier, still refreshing at a steady rate.

”This is impossible...” Sean’s voice trembled slightly.

”Even the power of time is ineffective?”

Just as everyone was still in shock, all the screens suddenly went dark simultaneously, followed by a line of flickering golden text appearing:

”Thank you all for your knowledge contribution!”

”If possible, I hope you can expand the range of time acceleration tenfold, so I can build a spaceship. Thank you!”

As soon as the words fell, the 3D printer in the corner of the laboratory started on its own, and under everyone’s gaze, a miniature spaceship took shape at a visible speed.

What was even more terrifying was that when security personnel tried to destroy it with an electromagnetic pulse gun, the spaceship’s surface actually deployed a nanometer-level protective shield, which not only blocked the attack but also converted the pulse energy into its own power.

”This...”

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

In just one hour, the miniature spaceship was finished printing.

But this was not the most shocking part—this spaceship actually flew by itself!

Without any human control, it flew straight out of the laboratory at an incredible speed.

After witnessing this scene, Sean subconsciously turned and asked a nearby test engineer:

”Can you measure the speed of that spaceship just now?”

The test engineer stared at the measuring instrument beside him, his voice filled with disbelief:

”Its speed has reached one-tenth the speed of light.”

As soon as this number was spoken, the entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone’s expressions froze between shock and fear, and even their breathing became cautious.

”One-tenth... the speed of light?”

Sean’s voice was as dry as sandpaper rubbing together.

”How is this possible...”

At this very moment, the alarm system in the laboratory suddenly blared, its sharp wail piercing the air.

Everyone was stunned, then horrifyingly discovered that the equipment that had long been disconnected from power miraculously restarted, with strings of complex code frantically flickering across the screens.

Immediately after, the ventilation duct on the ceiling exploded with a loud bang, cracking open a gap.

Countless silver-glowing nanobots surged out like a tide, quickly crawling all over the laboratory walls, as if transforming the place into the nest of some unknown Life form.

”They... they are transforming the laboratory!”

A researcher’s face was pale, and he trembled as he retreated, his voice filled with fear.

Sean stood still, his face ashen.

As a Time Archmage, he had never seen such a bizarre existence—even his power of time could not affect it in any way.

Subconsciously, he tried to cast Time Stop again, but when he raised his hand, he suddenly realized that his power of time was being quietly drained by an invisible force.

”My power... it’s disappearing?”

Sean looked at his palm in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At the same time, these nanobots had completed the first round of transformation of the laboratory.

The originally ordinary room now resembled a giant mechanized factory: mechanical arms extended from the walls, beginning to assemble some never-before-seen devices;

The floor also cracked open a deep fissure, revealing a glowing blue energy core below.

”Everyone evacuate immediately!”

Sean finally realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted this with all his might.

However, it was too late.

The laboratory’s main door was suddenly sealed by a golden energy barrier, and a holographic image appeared on the ceiling—it was the figure of Liuguang.

She smiled as she looked down at everyone, her smile gentle yet carrying an unquestionable authority.

”Thank you for your cooperation.”

Liuguang said softly, her tone as relaxed as if she were discussing everyday matters.

Then, her gaze turned to Sean, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.

”It seems you are still unwilling to cooperate, but it doesn’t matter, I don’t need your cooperation anyway, it’s all the same.”

”Don’t worry, after I use your energy, I will help you break through your limits according to the ways of this world.”

”For you, this should be a good deal, right?”

Before her words finished, she no longer gave Sean a chance to refuse, and the speed of energy extraction abruptly accelerated.

...

Meanwhile, Su Yi was leisurely staying in his villa when he suddenly noticed an unfamiliar object appearing outside the window.

He released a trace of his mental power, instantly scanning a futuristic-looking, silver spaceship.

This thing looked incredibly high-tech, clearly not within the scope of Earth’s existing technology.

Before Su Yi could figure out where this spaceship came from, Liuguang had already appeared before him, smiling as she spoke:

”Master, this is my latest developed spaceship, and its speed can reach one-tenth the speed of light!”

”Don’t look at its small size,” Liuguang continued to explain,

”But its performance will definitely exceed your imagination.”

”Going to space shouldn’t be a big problem.”

”At 3:27:33 AM tomorrow, the light-speed spaceship will be completed.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yi couldn’t help but gasp.

Holy cow! How long has it been?

A spaceship was built just like that?

Immediately after, an uncontrollable sense of excitement surged within him.

Space! That vast, boundless, mysterious universe, how could Su Yi not yearn for it?

It was just that for various reasons, he had never been able to act before.

If he acted alone, he always felt that this world was a bit too strange, and the safety was also a bit worrying.

But now with a spaceship, things were different.

He could first send a few volunteers out to scout, and after confirming that the space environment was safe, he would send a few of his clones to check it out.

Finally, only when everything was completely foolproof would he, by controlling one of his clones, personally experience the grandeur and vastness of the starry sky.

However, despite having a preliminary plan in mind, Su Yi couldn’t help but turn to Liuguang and ask:

”Since that’s the case, do you have any better ways to help us find alien civilizations?”

Upon hearing this, a stream of data quickly flashed through Liuguang’s eyes, and then she replied:

”There is a way.”

”I can design a signal receiver; as long as other races in the universe send out any signals, I can immediately capture their location.”

”Of course, if the other party does not actively send signals, I can also create a cosmic detector specifically used to scan and detect signs of Life in the universe.”

”These devices will take about a month to complete.”

Su Yi frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked somewhat puzzled:

”Wait... why is it taking so long this time?”

”Didn’t those things like light-speed spaceships and wormholes get done in a day or two before?”

”Why is this taking longer instead?”

Liuguang noticed her master’s question and directly explained:

”The reason why the light-speed spaceship and wormholes were so fast is because there’s someone in Beacon Country who has control over time.”

”I made a deal with him—I help him break through his realm, and he helps me accelerate time, saving a lot of research and development time.”

”We cooperated very happily.”
