Just like what Fang Xingjian saw, the world before him was a world where technology and productivity were highly developed.
The entire world was situated on a piece of metal land, and this metal land itself was a huge flying shuttle that was one-tenth the size of the sun.
The engine array in the flying shuttle had been providing the entire flying shuttle with an endless supply of energy.
Although the young Hogan did not know the theory behind the engine array in his memories, his parents, teachers, and friends all said that it was some sort of perpetual motion machine that provided the people in the entire land with an endless supply of energy.
The endless supply of energy not only helped the people in this world change the atmosphere, gravity, and other environments, making the world more suitable for living. It also allowed the entire flying shuttle to produce its own rations, upgrade the flying shuttle, and create all sorts of skyscrapers and high-tech products through mass-energy conversion technology.
It was like a small-scale universe that kept on expanding in all directions.
In fact, ever since this flying shuttle was born, he had already gone through over 100 modifications and expansions.
However, what made Fang Xingjian pay more attention to it was that this entire world actually belonged to a single person — a woman named Catherine.
On this flying shuttle called the Morning Star, regardless of whether it was the flying shuttle, the energy, the various high-tech products, or even every inch of space, every breath, and every ray of sunlight, they all belonged to Catherine.
Other than themselves, ordinary citizens had nothing. If they were to commit suicide or murder, it would be the most serious crime. They would completely lose their autonomy and become Catherine's slave forever.
With such a world's structure, if it were any other world, the entire world would have rebelled long ago, and the entire population would have revolted.
However, on the Morning Star, Catherine held the highest authority, and the artificial intelligence was constantly monitoring the entire flying shuttle's situation. She possessed countless weapons that could destroy cities, wipe out countries, and vaporize planets. Ordinary citizens had no ability to resist at all.
'This Catherine already has everything she needs to be self-sufficient. Then what is her goal in bringing up so many citizens?'
As he continued to flip through the young man's memories, Fang Xingjian gained a rough understanding.
In fact, even if there were no humans on the Morning Star, it would still be self-sufficient. It would not need any help from humans, and there would not even be a need for them to work.
However, Catherine had built cities, set up schools, and used some mechanisms to select talents. She had divided everyone into various grades.
Talents of different grades would have different levels of authority, and they could even be equipped with all sorts of high-tech weapons. They would have even more authority over the citizens of a lower class.
And the most important part of the so-called talent training, or rather, the decisive result, was the so-called strength of the spiritual ability.
However, Catherine's objective in selecting talents was not something that could be found in the young man's memory.
"Spiritual energy?"
Just as Fang Xingjian was thinking about this, the two aircrafts had already taken Fang Xingjian to the place where the criminals were being held.
Fang Xingjian's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said, "Wait a moment, I want to take the psionic ability test."
The two aircrafts came to an abrupt halt, and an invisible ray of light swept across Fang Xingjian's body. Then, several small robots the size of fingers flew around Fang Xingjian and pointed their tentacles at his body.
"The Spiritual Ability test has begun. Please output your Spiritual Ability freely."
Psionic energy was the biggest factor that determined a person's status in this world. It was also the most important achievement for all students in school.
In fact, as long as the psionic power was high enough, the suicide that the youth committed could be pardoned.
What Fang Xingjian needed to do now was to fake a psionic ability result.
'From my memories, the so-called psionic ability is just a type of energy … Then …'
With a single thought from Fang Xingjian, streams of heat energy were emitted from his body. The tentacles that the machines had extended out trembled and absorbed all the heat energy.
A short moment later, a voice rang out from the machines, "Level 1 spiritual ability. Please take the test again."
"Level 1? What kind of joke is this? " Fang Xingjian frowned, feeling puzzled. The heat energy he had released earlier was almost equivalent to the energy of a tank's main cannon. To think that it was only level 1? Could it be that there was a huge difference between spiritual energy and heat energy?
Looking at the tentacles that had reached out once again, Fang Xingjian gave it some thought and decided to try increasing the heat energy output.
He increased the heat energy output by 1,000 times. This time around, it was at the level of a Tomahawk Cruise Missile.
"Level 3 spiritual ability. Please take the test again to confirm."
Fang Xingjian thought to himself, 'Interesting. From what I know, there are over 100 levels of spiritual ability, right? To think that this is only level 3? Do the humans in this world really not have any extraordinary powers? '
In young Hogan's memories, there was no such thing as extraordinary powers. Everything operated under the ice-cold laws of physics, and there was no power that could surpass that of technology.
Fang Xingjian released the heat energy once again, confirming that he had reached level 3 of spiritual ability.
After all, level 3 of spiritual ability was enough to exempt him from the crime of committing suicide.
…
Outside the metal land, in the universe's vacuum …
Fang Xingjian and the other three stood in the sky above the land, looking down at the massive spaceship that seemed to have no end. Their eyes revealed an unfathomable expression.
The Prince smiled. "This is an interesting place. To think that a queen is ruling over the world. I wonder what kind of magnificent story it will be."
The Silver Mage King frowned. "This woman is vicious and merciless. She single-handedly oppresses the world and exploits the people. This world isn't stable, and it's impossible for even machines to be perfect. I've found many rebel forces."
Urbien touched his chin as if he was also very interested in the world before him. "In this world, that Catherine is the only master. She's the master of all matter in the world. It's clear that she's the only one who could have taken away Earth. "However, we can't just take back Earth."
"There are indeed many valuable things in this world." The corners of Fang Xingjian's lips curled up into a hint of a smile. "However, that Catherine isn't someone to be trifled with. Everyone must make sufficient preparations."
The four top-notch experts each tried to understand the world under their feet from different aspects. They then stood in void space and conversed. It was as if they had encountered a rare gem and were discussing how they should split it up.
…
Just as the four experts were discussing how they should conquer this world, Catherine, who was at the highest point of the spaceship — a huge tower that was 100,000 meters tall — casually tossed the metal sphere that contained Earth into the wall. It was as if she was tossing a piece of trash.
Before the sphere could get close, it was caught by a force field and floated slowly in midair.
Behind the sphere, there were a myriad of miniature planets that looked exactly the same as it.
Catherine said calmly, "Analyze this Earth thoroughly and find traces of that b * stard, Fang Xingjian."
"Understood."
In that instant, countless rays swept across the miniature Earth, immediately causing a great commotion on Earth.
Simultaneously, a piece of information entered Catherine's mind. Her brows raised, and a ferocious aura appeared on her face. "There are still people who aren't afraid of death and dare to come looking for me?"
