Space Travel is a wonderful term, at least when described in the language of Earth civilization from the 21st century. Who knows how many people, how many wise thinkers, brilliant scientists, great lovers, legendary cowherds and weavers, devoted fans, and self-deprecating introverts have gazed at the starry sky on a clear night? They might be inhaling the scent of wildflowers, apple trees, cheap perfume, or even the odor of stinky feet. Whether in the wilderness, under an apple tree, in a luxurious presidential suite of a five-star hotel, in a roadside motel room, or in a dark and foul-smelling rental apartment, they all share the same posture: neck twisted at thirty-five degrees, head tilted at twenty degrees, staring into the dazzling night sky with dazed eyes, exclaiming in awe—ah, ah ah, ah ah ah! Ah ah ah ah! Ah—! (Severe warning: do not overthink.)
However, just as a peacock displays its feathers while hiding its dark rear end, these romantic stars have now become the target of Lin Yuan's curses.
Yes, once upon a time, as a human being, Lin Yuan yearned for space so much that even when he became a Mechanical Warrior, he still held a fondness for the starry sky. It was so profound, as deep as the eyes of a beautiful woman filled with autumn's melancholy, always drawing one to gaze endlessly.
But now he truly underestimates the despicable and shameless nature of this so-called profound starry sky. Profound my foot! Would it kill you to be a little shallower?
Sometimes, Lin Yuan questions whether his choice to flee was indeed the right strategy.
If he hadn’t run away, would he have gotten lost?
Even if he were imprisoned again, it would be better than being a rigid automatic floating coffin in this cold and dark space!
Yes, although it feels somewhat embarrassing and shy to admit it, Lin Yuan must acknowledge that he is lost.
There are no pursuers from the Ninth Training Base. No monsters from space; even that detestable Migratory Insectoid Clan is absent.
This is an utterly silent starfield!
Aside from the blazing star resembling a giant fireball, all the planets are lifeless and cold. There is no sign of vitality. Most importantly, there is no energy!
Initially terrified of his pursuers, Lin Yuan had put all his effort into escaping—using every trick in the book: cloaking himself and reducing energy fluctuations! He employed zigzagging survival tactics like some wilderness survival expert! All his big moves unleashed with full-screen effects!
For a moment, he felt quite pleased with himself!
However, this luxurious escape quickly drained Lin Yuan's Energy Reserve. Despite his constant fear of hunger and his obsession with collecting food, he always tried to gather Energy Blocks whenever possible, determined to avoid the fate of becoming a beggar in the starry sky one day.
Yet, Lin Yuan seemed to have forgotten one thing: even the great sun would eventually die. No matter how much Energy Reserve he had, after flying nearly hundreds of light-years in one breath, it would all be gone!
So now, Lin Yuan was left with about 100 units of E1-level Standard Energy. He had no choice but to opt for the most economical, cost-effective, and also the most refreshing method of Interstellar Travel—becoming a drifting corpse in space!
It was truly ironic; in less than thirty years, he had been a space corpse twice. The last time, at least he had some treacherous companions like Bison with him; this time, he was completely alone.
Fortunately, waiting for death had never been Lin Yuan's motto. He was actively working on saving himself!
"Faster! Faster! Saving is the way to go!"
At that moment, Lin Yuan stared intently into the dark void ahead. Although he couldn't see anything, he had already calculated through his Intellect and measured the gravitational pull of various star systems along the way. Using the principles of triangulation, he estimated that there was a mysterious planet about fifty million kilometers ahead.
Cough, alright, enough with the mystery; it was all just Lin Yuan's imagination. He would rather hope to encounter one of those terrifying planets filled with monsters that frequently appeared in science fiction. Even if it meant facing an alien that devoured its prey without leaving bones behind, he would gladly accept it! He would prefer to let it take three strikes without fighting back; even being a fertilized egg for a mother alien could be considered!
Lin Yuan had encountered nothing but desolate planets in his past experiences; it felt as if some heartless interstellar thief had stripped them bare of their core essence!
One could only imagine how sordid that situation must have been!
However, this time seemed to be a little different!
The gravitational pull was gradually increasing, and Lin Yuan's speed of advancement was also accelerating. Yet, he felt a sense of tragic heroism, as if he were facing the cold waters of the Yi River, knowing that once he ventured forth, there would be no return.
The reason was simple: the gravity of this planet was immense. If he could not find an alternative energy source to replace the Centrifugal Stone Energy on this planet, then he would have no hope of escaping. He could only wait in frustration for the Punisher First Generation System to awaken from its slumber or for that enigmatic Claire to show him mercy once more.
"Almost there. Gravitational index at 89, thrust at 408, detecting faint air; visually, it appears to have an atmosphere. The friction ignition index is unknown, but it should be sufficient."
Like reciting an ancient incantation, Lin Yuan murmured to himself. Meanwhile, his four Mechanical Arms moved like phantoms, assembling a peculiar Mechanical Body. This object was nearly the same size as Lin Yuan's own Mechanical Body. It was something he had painstakingly created while drifting in space.
He referred to this object as Alchemy Furnace No. 1, and its specific functions were as follows:
a. Absorb Solar Energy and convert it into kinetic energy.
b. Equipped with twelve pairs of solar sails, theoretically allowing Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body to reach speeds one hundred twenty times that of Bolt in space—specifically, one hundred twenty meters per second. However, after precise calculations, Lin Yuan realized that to further increase this speed, he would either need to design a more efficient Solar Energy Converter or add ten more solar sails.
c. Friction ignition—this feature was specifically developed for planetary landings. Theoretically, it could allow Lin Yuan to accumulate about one hundred units of f5-level Standard Energy during intense atmospheric friction upon landing.
d. It included energy conversion capabilities for collecting oil, natural gas, biogas, oxygen, coal, and one hundred seventy-six types of raw resources. Theoretically, converting ten thousand tons of diesel could yield just one unit of e1-level Standard Energy.
e. It could be used to collect various ores and other useful resources; however, based on Lin Yuan's experience, this function was rarely utilized.
