As for the time needed to develop the technology and the technical difficulty, Meng Chao believed that the former did not require hundreds of years, and the latter could be easily overcome.
After all, Dragon Citizens were not living in the age of navigation on Earth.
In the Age of Great Voyage, the technological level of the Earth civilization developed in a linear manner. Everything had to be done step by step and be self-reliant. From sail battleships to steam ironclads, to electricity utilization, to radio, to nuclear physics research, and finally to manned spaceflight technology, everything was interlinked. Not a single step could be missed, and it would be impossible to achieve it in a few hundred years.
But in the Other World, Earthlings were not the only ones. There were also dwarves, elves, and other carbon-based intelligent races. All of them had all sorts of strange technology trees. Even the dark and ignorant ogres, who seemed to eat raw meat and drink blood, had divine weapons that Earthlings could not decipher.
Based on the information from his current life and his previous life, Meng Chao suspected that most of the Other World races were not natives of this planet. They were transmigrators, just like humans.
It was just that they had transmigrated hundreds or thousands of years earlier than the people on Earth.
Besides, after they transmigrated to the Other World, they were just like the Earthlings. They discovered ancient treasures or were summoned by the ancient civilization, which allowed them to gain production, technology, and fighting strength that surpassed that of modern Earth in certain areas even though their civilization level was incredibly low.
If they could gather the divine weapons, magic, and profound secrets that the races in the Other World were most proud of, they would be able to gather them together.
Meng Chao believed that there was a high chance that Dragon City's civilization could repair and activate the transmigration engine within a few decades or even ten years.
He decided.
Once he completely got rid of the monster civilization, he would definitely rush out of Monster Mountain Range and represent Earth to contact the Other World races.
At that time, they would definitely have to open up a market for Dragon City's Earth products and at the same time, make more allies.
The other reason was to search for something related to transmigration technology hidden among the races in the Other World.
Coincidentally, as his realm continued to increase, his memories from his previous life became clearer. He gradually remembered the locations of many of the most famous ruins, sacred temples, divine palaces, treasures, and demon mountains in the Other World.
In his previous life, a soul-stirring war had erupted between the ten thousand races of the Otherworld around these mysterious and unfathomable Holy Lands.
At that time, Meng Chao was still weak, and he was not strong enough to join the epic battle where Deity Realm elites died like shooting stars.
In this life, he had a chance to be the first to see what was going on before the other experts could react.
"Let's go. It's time to show you the preliminary successful results of Project 101!"
Wu Haibo was very happy to receive Meng Chao's promise.
He knew that Meng Chao might be young, but the resources he could mobilize were much greater than those of veteran fighters who had been in the superhuman circle for decades.
Besides, being young was an advantage in itself. No one could predict what realm Meng Chao would reach or achieve in ten or twenty years.
In any case, the development of controllable transmigration was not something that could be done overnight. Meng Chao's promise was enough.
Wu Haibo's face was flushed and he was in high spirits as he talked about the results of his recent successful research and development.
He brought Meng Chao to the other side of the huge tent.
Meng Chao saw that the place was like the amalgamation of a military base and a port warehouse. There were dozens of containers on one side and a few container trucks. On the other side were eight main battle tanks, infantry armored vehicles, and spider-shaped six-legged runic symbol mechanical fighting vehicles.
In the middle was a 100-meter-long track.
On each side of the runway stood a … door frame?
Meng Chao could only use the word door frame to describe this device.
Even though it was not the rectangular shape of a traditional door frame.
Instead, it was a very precise circle.
The metal used to create the door frame was slightly flat. It had a deep bronze luster to it, and it gave off an ancient air. It was placed on a metal disk that protruded slightly from the ground.
There was a metal ring on the disk that was perpendicular to the door frame.
One was horizontal, and the other vertical. The surface of the two metal rings was also carved with dense, profound, and complicated runic symbols. Regardless of the material or the shape of the runic symbols, they were very similar to the armillary sphere that had activated the star chart.
There were also sockets for crystals to be installed between the runic symbols.
More than one hundred crystals of various colors shone brightly between the runic symbols. Wisps of spirit energy surged into the depths of the runic symbols like streams. They were either drawn with silver hooks or curved trenches, causing the runic symbols to gradually shine and leave behind a series of fragmented projections in the air.
The metal ring that stood erect like a door frame had a diameter of about five meters. It was just enough for a main battle tank or a six-legged runic symbol fighting machine to pass through.
There were also two wide rails on one side of the metal ring. They were like ramps that allowed the main battle tanks and trucks filled with containers to crawl through the circular door frames more easily.
But even if they crawled inside, what was the point?
There was nothing between the two door frames that were one hundred meters apart. Aside from the track, there was nothing else there.
In other words, once the main battle tanks and container trucks crawled through one door frame, they could only drive on the track. After traveling one or two hundred meters, they could crawl out of the other door frame.
What did this mean?
Meng Chao looked at Wu Haibo.
Wu Haibo made a gesture that said, "Calm down. It's time to witness a miracle."
Just as he expected, a test was going on between the two circular door frames.
As the researchers used their brainwaves and vitality magnetic fields to activate the spirit energy at the core of the crystal, the intensity of the crystal's reaction instantly increased by one hundred times. The spirit energy that gushed out of the crystal turned from a trickle into a flood.
The two metal rings, one horizontal and the other horizontal, became crystalline. They shone and started spinning.
In the beginning, they spun really slowly. Meng Chao could still see the dazzling runic symbols dragging behind them, and they left behind colorful afterimages. Countless pieces of information that were similar to coordinates and formulas jumped about madly in the afterimages.
But as the spinning speed gradually increased, all the light, shadows, and afterimages fused together. The two devices turned into two small suns that did not have any heat but were so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and watched the light from the small suns flicker. It gradually spread out and covered the metal base with the scale carved on it. Then, it turned into a ball of light with a diameter of ten meters.
A loud and clear steam whistle sounded.
The researchers in front of the main battle tanks and container trucks removed their barricades. A red flag that said, "The test has begun. You are allowed to pass." The crystal engines of the main battle tanks and container trucks let out low roars. The steel beasts roared and charged at the ball of light.
Meng Chao frowned a little.
The circular tracks that surrounded the ball of light spun incredibly quickly. It was impossible for the tanks and trucks to dodge them. If they did not change their direction, either the vehicles would be destroyed, and the people inside would die.
Meng Chao was prepared to hear deafening collisions and explosions.
But against his expectations, when the barrel of the first main battle tank touched the outermost edge of the ball of light, something unbelievable happened.
The ball of light seemed to possess great attraction and was contagious. The flame-like light instantly surged to the entire main battle tank and devoured it.
The other side of the ball of light was empty. There were no signs of a main battle tank driving out.
Instead, roars came from the other ball of light one hundred meters away. A main battle tank with the same serial number drove out in an awe-inspiring manner.
"This is …"
Once Meng Chao poured spirit energy into the cells in his optic vertebrae, retina, and optic nerves, his eyesight became that of a hawk's. With just one glance, he could tell that aside from having the same serial number, the mottled scratches on the external armor of the two main battle tanks that drove into the ball of light one hundred meters away were the same.
It was clear that they were the same main battle tank!
Before Meng Chao could feel a storm raging in his heart, the second infantry fighting vehicle and the third runic symbol fighting vehicle with six legs crawled into the ball of light. Then, they crawled out of the other ball of light at the end of the track.
Next, it was the turn of the double container truck that was more than twenty meters long.
Perhaps it was because it was loaded with heavy items, but the steel beast's roars were incredibly deep. Its footsteps were also a little sluggish, which allowed Meng Chao to clearly see how it entered and left the ball of light.
Its tail was still on the outside of the ball of light, but the front of the truck had already crawled out of the other ball of light. It was like a giant saw in a magic show. It had split into two parts that were one hundred meters apart from each other.
However, the front of the truck had to protrude out of the top to dissipate heat. The crystal engine was still running loudly, and the spirit energy transmission pipe and transmission shaft extended from the chassis to the back of the truck. The four rows of sixteen tires at the back rotated in a stable and powerful manner. Their power surged, showing that the truck was still a single entity that could not be separated from each other.
The dreamlike scene left Meng Chao dumbfounded for a long time.
When the truck crawled into and out of the two balls of light, which reduced the driving distance by more than one hundred meters out of thin air and ended the test perfectly, Meng Chao exhaled and mumbled, "This is … transmigration?"
"That's right, you just witnessed a small transmigration."
Wu Haibo said proudly. "We've spent so many years and used up so many resources that Dragon Citizens saved by tightening their belts. If we don't show some results, we'll feel like we're letting down the people in our hometown.
"Even though we haven't mastered the large-scale, long-distance, and instantaneous teleportation technology that can cover a circular area of hundreds of kilometers around Dragon City and send all the mass and life forms in the city to Earth or other terrestrial planets with atmospheres, we can't do it on a large scale.
"However, it is not a problem to teleport three to five human beings and materials weighing no more than a hundred tons on the surface of the same planet!
Before Wu Haibo finished speaking.
Kindling erupted like a volcano at the corner of Meng Chao's eyes. Golden magma surged past his retina and left behind a row of dazzling words.
[Due to the Fire Relayer's outstanding performance during the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, you saved most of the transmigration experts in Project 101 and ensured that the project team successfully developed a short-distance teleportation technology on a planet's surface. This technology will overturn Dragon City's traditional fighting style and provide brand new possibilities for Dragon City's civilization to expand in the Other World. Increased contribution points by 499999!]
