Nightfall.
After completing the meeting and all the arrangements, Ethan returned to his residence. Sitting at his desk, he rhythmically tapped his fingers on the surface, lost in thought.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Ethan suddenly called out.
"Aiden!"
"I'm here, BOSS!"
As soon as Ethan spoke, Aiden's projection appeared.
Ethan immediately spoke seriously. "I need you to tell me about the future development of Nova."
Aiden nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then began, "BOSS, no matter how we develop, Nova cannot focus on a single aspect while neglecting other fields of technology."
"In my vision, Nova's tech tree is like a giant trunk with several thick branches and countless twigs and leaves growing from them."
"Different fields represent the thick branches, such as quantum microcosm, material macrocosm, spatial domain, and the mainstream technological fields of this universe: genetic subplane technology, dark matter, void technology, etc."
"These are the robust branches of Nova's tech tree!"
"And the various technologies born from these fields are the numerous twigs and leaves!"
"But these are just the branches; the true trunk and roots of Nova should be the four fundamental forces!"
The four fundamental forces—everything in the universe is subject to their influence. It can be said that all things are produced by the interaction of these four forces.
"Electromagnetic interaction, strong interaction, weak interaction, and finally gravity. These four forces constitute everything in the universe!"
"Whether it's the quantum microcosm or material macrocosm, or antimatter, dark matter, subplanes, dark energy!"
"Even the so-called void in this universe, secondary life forms, and so on!"
"I believe they are all just manifestations of the four fundamental forces at work!"
"Take the void technology that will appear in this universe in the future as an example. Their so-called concept definition and modification, do you really believe that? I don't!"
"BOSS, I have experienced your world like you, so I know what you know. Many memories you can't recall, but I do. I'll explain with examples from that anime."
Aiden then proceeded with his examples.
The first example Aiden gave was the battle where Angel Zhixin encountered Death God Karl's void mech!
Skipping the battle process, the important part is the details of the void engine confrontation.
Both sides tried to rewrite each other with their void engines. Zhixin defined the void mech's energy source as dog excrement, causing the void mech to crash momentarily as it couldn't find dog excrement as an energy source.
The recovered void mech immediately changed the air composition, forcing Zhixin to use the secondary life engine to restore the air composition for the sake of Zhao Xin and the warriors' lives.
Seizing the opportunity, the void mech began to define Zhixin's angel gene, resulting in Zhixin being successfully sealed after using her last energy to create a void protection program and enhance Zhao Xin's genes.
The second example is Angel Yan.
After eating the pill given by Pan Zhen to restore her energy, Angel Yan fought with Mony, who grabbed her body with the Demon Claw and tried to crush her. Angel Yan used the secondary life engine to define her body as indestructible.
After succeeding, Mony's reaction was that Angel Yan's upgraded divine body was too hard to destroy, never considering the void engine's concept definition. This shows Mony's lack of research on the void! Her claim that time and space would eventually become void? Just listen, don't take it seriously!
This was Angel Yan's first void definition, and there were more to come.
After upgrading to a divine body, Angel Yan delivered the Sky Blade VII to Ge Xiaolun. Fighting Ruo Ning, her divine body was pierced by arrows. At the point of explosion, she used the secondary life engine to define the explosion force of the arrows as zero!
Then there was the Hero Core of Galaxy Force, combining void and anti-void, claiming to overturn the conservation of mass-energy and fundamental laws!
It's quite absurd!
First, defining the energy source as dog excrement—couldn't this be understood as Zhixin's secondary life engine invading the void mech, forcibly interrupting its energy supply and modifying its core program to recognize dog excrement as the energy source?
Since the void mech's void engine was still running, it quickly detected and resolved this logical loophole. After restoring the energy blocked by Zhixin, the void mech quickly returned to normal!
Is this concept modification? Isn't this just information invasion or cognition modification?
Now, let's talk about concept definition!
Whether it's the void mech changing air composition or defining Zhixin's angel gene, or Angel Yan defining her body as indestructible, defining the explosion force of Ruo Ning's arrows as zero.
Aren't these achievable through controlling matter? By controlling the strong interaction force, neutralizing the repulsive forces between Angel Yan's body atoms, shrinking the atomic distances, increasing density—such a body would indeed be indestructible!
Similarly, controlling the explosion force of arrows through electromagnetic forces is also possible!
And Hua Ye's black hole engine creating black holes through gravity, creating a gravitational singularity—isn't that a black hole?
Can this be called concept definition?
Even more absurd is the Hero Core of Galaxy Force, claiming to overturn mass-energy conservation and fundamental laws?
It's absurd! Whether Zhixin is smart or ignorant, I don't know!
Matter and energy do not disappear or emerge out of nowhere. They merely transform from one form to another!
The Hero Core of Galaxy Force's so-called overturning of mass-energy conservation—it's merely controlling omnipresent matter or invisible atoms and particles, recomposing them into desired forms!
Essentially, it's no different from Angel Yan's definition, but because the void engine was created combining void and anti-void, the Hero Core's definition can exist permanently, while Angel Yan's secondary life engine's effects are temporary!
In conclusion, void technology essentially achieves concept definition through controlling the four fundamental forces, using advanced information invasion and cognition rewriting to achieve concept modification!
The critical point is how void technology controls the four fundamental forces!
Death God Karl may not fully understand the four fundamental forces! Like how the Shinhwa Empire accidentally discovered the subplane, Karl might have discovered something too!
Some method, like the subplane influencing reality, a shortcut!
And the Super Seminary and angels are focused on subplane technology, misled by Karl's ultimate fear theory, directing all their attention to ultimate fear!
They can't see the truth!
The void might have also discovered what Karl did, but misled by Karl's ultimate fear theory, they created anti-void to combat ultimate fear!
"That's what I think about void technology!"
"It still falls within the framework of the four fundamental forces!"
"Once we understand the secrets of the four fundamental forces, these can be easily achieved!"
"Only the four fundamental forces can control matter, at least in Nova and your former world, that's certain!"
"As we deepen our understanding of the universe, this might change, but for now, this is our belief!"
"The key is, through studying angel data and void universe engine data, I found that Shinhwa's technology still falls within the framework of the four fundamental forces!"
"But their development in the four fundamental forces isn't as advanced as imagined!"
"After discovering the subplane, they focused all their efforts on subplane technology, lagging far behind in research on the four fundamental forces!"
