Half a month later …
Central Galaxy, Radiant Federation Mother Planet, President's Office.
Bader was the only one in the room, and a remote projection was floating in front of him. His appearance was that of a normal galactic human. He was of average height and wore a large white robe. There were many wrinkles on his face, and he looked a little old. However, his spirit was very hale and hearty. His eyes were glowing like two miniature stars, extremely dazzling and bright. Ordinary people would find it difficult to look at them directly. His beard reached his chest, and his hair was also very long, tied up with a few silver hair bands. His beard and hair were all silver and had a metallic texture, like flowing liquid alloy.
This projection was the original appearance of the Mecha Empire's Manison. His expression was calm, and he gave off a calm aura. He was currently talking to Bader.
"My troops have already sent the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter to the research station you designated. The handover has been completed." Manison's voice was old and filled with 'magnetism' … the kind that carried electricity.
"Thank you." Bader nodded with a smile. "The promised reward will be sent to the Mechanical Race."
The Mecha Empire and the Radiant Federation had been in an alliance for many years. Due to his strength, influence, and past achievements, Manison's position in the Radiant Federation was extremely high. Bader was very respectful of the Mecha Empire and had always carefully protected the alliance between the two sides.
After all, before him, Manison had already assisted several presidents of the Radiant Federation. Of course, this was also due to the federation's system. Compared to the Red Empire and the Arcane Church, their leaders changed more frequently.
Manison nodded, changed the topic, and slowly said, "There's one more thing."
"Please speak."
"Remember to call me when you go to contact Black Star."
Bader was stunned.
Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Why do you think we should contact Black Star?
After this incident, Balder did not dare to underestimate Han Xiao, but he was not prepared to send someone to contact him on behalf of the Radiant Federation because there was no need. Black Star was an ally of the dynasty, and his family was huge. Once a Beyond Grade A joined a Universal Civilization, it was basically impossible for him to jump ship unless there was a special reason. Otherwise, the dynasty would not let him go. Thus, Bader did not plan to contact Han Xiao.
After thinking about it, Bader thought that Manison was purely interested in Black Star, so he nodded and agreed. It was normal for Beyond Grade A Mechanics to be interested in communication, so he was not surprised.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going offline." Manison nodded and then hung up.
Seeing this, Bader waited for more than ten seconds before contacting the dynasty's Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic.
"There were no abnormalities in the quantum network monitoring just now, right?"
"No."
Hearing this, Bader was relieved. Although he trusted Manison, he still had to be cautious. After all, Manison was not a direct member of the Radiant Federation but an ally of the Ancient Ones. He might even be the strongest Virtual Mechanic of this era. Thus, every time they contacted each other, he would have the dynasty's Virtual Mechanic monitor the network to prevent Manison from opening a backdoor.
At the same time, in the distant Primeval Star River, Manison opened his eyes, and his consciousness exited the quantum network. His lips curled up, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"The material used to wrap the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter has already reached the level of a Space Wonder. The Radiant Federation … is going to have a headache this time."
When Manison accepted the mission, he knew that he would be able to come into contact with the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. Thus, he had specially brought along a lot of research equipment. His long-range troops had already briefly studied the protective layer outside the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter.
However, the Spacetime Amber blocked out all forms of energy, and it was difficult to even detect the various parameters. Manison's long-range troops only discovered some clues through the space research equipment of the Spacetime Amber. The only thing they could analyze was that the spacetime coefficient of the Spacetime Amber was strangely distorted and constant at a certain value.
He tried to break the Spacetime Amber by disturbing the spacetime coefficient, but the Spacetime Amber also isolated the effects of external changes. This piece of frozen spacetime was extremely stable.
Manison still had not figured out the material structure of the amber. It was both a physical object and had the characteristics of a domain. Under a microscope, it appeared as the universe itself, and it was an area without motion.
Since there was no movement of particles, time did not seem to exist. This seemed to be the principle of freezing.
Manison thought of the exploration era in history. The three Universal Civilizations had changed the physical constants of the universe near their mother planet, forming a sealed and safe area. The Spacetime Amber seemed to follow a similar principle, perhaps even stranger. If this material was another condensed secondary space independent of the universe, it would definitely have unique physical constants.
He was very knowledgeable and believed that this material had already reached the level of a Space Wonder.
After studying it, he ruled out the possibility that the Spacetime Amber was a technology. He did not think that Han Xiao had such an ability, so he became interested in creating Universal Treasures of this material.
Other than Black Star himself, it should be very difficult for others to break it.
Thus, Manison was certain that the Radiant Federation would definitely try to contact Black Star, and it would not be long before that happened.
"I'll go and get to know him on the way … Hmm, he seems to have bullied my people before."
Manison narrowed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
In a certain research base in the Radiant Federation's military control zone …
Not long ago, Manison's troops had delivered the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. At this time, it was fixed in a huge mechanical cabin. Outside was a pile of research equipment, and many researchers were focused on operating the equipment.
This was an integrated substance analyzer that could analyze many parameters of a target without damaging it. It was the standard product of advanced civilization researchers. Of course, the one made by the Radiant Federation was more useful. As long as it was something real, it could analyze it.
The director of the research base stood by the side and stared at the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter with great concentration.
President Bader had given the order to break the seal of the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. The director of the research base knew the importance of this matter, so he personally took charge of the project.
To be in charge of such an important research base, the director was not an ordinary person. He was an important figure in the highest research institute of the Radiant Federation and had made many significant contributions to scientific research. He had many honorary titles and was even personally awarded the Medal of Honor by the president.
"Reporting to the director, the equipment has been adjusted. The substance analyzer is ready. Should we begin the first analysis?"
"Let's begin." The director nodded.
The researcher pressed a button, and the next moment, the substance analyzer began to operate, emitting a soft buzzing sound. Everyone stared at the screen as the data on it changed rapidly.
After a while, the auxiliary artificial intelligence came to a surprising conclusion.
"Data error. Target cannot be analyzed. Target has energy insulation properties. The probing rays are unable to attach or penetrate it."
The substance analyzer was useless? The director was surprised. It was not that he had never seen such a situation before, but it was very rare. Once it happened, it meant that they had encountered something troublesome.
The research base of the Radiant Federation naturally had more than one type of detection equipment. The director tried all of them, but after a few hours, he only received a few thin pages of reports. A normal substance would have at least a thousand pages of reports, but the Spacetime Amber's parameters that could be detected were pitifully few. He still knew nothing about it.
If Manison could detect abnormal spacetime coefficients, so could they. Not only that, the director tried even more methods to crack it, but none of them worked.
They could not even perform a normal test, let alone crack it.
The director became more and more surprised, and his head started to hurt. Conventional methods were all ineffective, and he did not know where to start.
What the hell was this?!
As a researcher, he was full of curiosity and had the mentality of challenging the unknown. He would not give up easily, but interest was interest. He still had a mission.
Thinking of Bader's request, the director's heart sank.
He had a premonition … that the president's hopes would be dashed.
The difficulty of cracking this thing seemed to be beyond their imagination.
