Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

Walls were no longer obstacles; he could clearly see the wiring, pipes, and even molecular structures inside the walls; he looked down and saw not just the floor, but also the machine room below the floor, the running engine, and even the vast starry sky outside the spaceship.

All concepts of ’inside’ and ’outside’ vanished at this moment.

The entire world in his eyes was like an orange peeled, all structures, all secrets laid bare before him, completely visible!

Is this the four-dimensional perspective?!

“Oh my God…”

Qingying’s trembling voice came through the communication channel, filled with endless shock and intoxication.

“I… I see myself! I see the back of my head! I even see my internal organs beating! This is insane! This is wonderful!”

Not just her, all the scientists went mad.

They saw the ’hypercube’ structure that had only existed in theoretical derivations, saw the curling and unfolding of space, and saw time flowing slowly beside them like a river.

From this perspective, the originally massive expedition looked like an exquisite yet crude paper model.

And the universe outside had transformed into an even grander, more profound three-dimensional scroll!

“Is this what it feels like to be a god?”

War Wolf stared blankly at his hands. He felt as if he could simply reach out and, passing through layers of armor, crush a meteor outside. This illusion of controlling everything made him tremble all over.

“Don’t get carried away.”

Lu Chen’s voice sounded at the right moment, still calm, but it was like thunder in everyone’s minds.

“This is just a ’pseudo-four-dimensional’ state. We are merely ’borrowing’ a height in three-dimensional space using a high-energy field; we haven’t truly become four-dimensional beings. The energy consumption is enormous, we can’t sustain it for long.”

“Now, heavenly craft, begin the simulated attack!”

“Deploy a ’Two-Dimensional Foil’ simulated projectile! Target: Our original coordinates!”

“Yes!”

The next second, in the holographic vision, a simulated Two-Dimensional Foil erupted at the three-dimensional coordinates where the expedition had originally been!

Terrifying dimensional collapse occurred instantly!

The space in that area instantly collapsed towards the center like a skin from which the skeleton had been removed. The originally three-dimensional meteors, dust, and even light, upon contact with that spreading ’membrane,’ had no power to resist and were instantly flattened.

The three-dimensional structure disintegrated, its thickness reduced to zero, turning into colorful yet utterly desolate ’pictures’.

That destruction was absolute, irreversible, and filled with despair.

If the expedition had remained there, it would have by now become a silver graffiti on this scroll.

But now…

Lu Chen and his crew were quietly ’floating’ above.

They watched as the space beneath them was flattened, watching the terrifying dimensional storm rage.

Yet, that storm, capable of destroying everything, didn’t even touch the hems of their clothes.

It was like a person standing on the shore, watching fish struggle in a whirlpool.

That sense of transcendence, superiority, and absolute safety, viewing destruction as nothing, impacted everyone’s soul like never before.

“Is this a dimensionality reduction strike?”

Qingying murmured, looking at the starfield that had completely turned into a ’piece of paper,’ her eyes filled with awe.

“In the eyes of lower-dimensional beings, this is the apocalypse.”

“But in the eyes of higher-dimensional beings…”

“It’s just crumpling a piece of paper.”

Lu Chen finished her sentence, his tone indifferent, yet exuding a domineering aura that made people want to worship him.

“Now, do you understand?”

“In this dark forest, so-called defenses, armor, and shields are all jokes in the face of dimensional weapons!”

“There is only one way to survive—”

He pointed to the even deeper, more ineffable void above their heads.

“That is upwards!”

“Constantly climbing upwards, to the top of the food chain, to the end of dimensions!”

“Until we become the one who…”

“Crumbles the paper!”

“Boom—!”

As Lu Chen’s words fell, the fear in the eyes of all the Super Soldiers and all the scientists completely vanished.

In its place was an ambition and fanaticism hotter than any star!

What ’cleaner,’ what ’Star Devourer,’ what ’God-level Civilization’...

As long as we follow Commander Lu! As long as we master this power…

We are gods!

“Alarm cleared, preparing for dimensional descent and return.”
