Whether this strange place was real or not, a virtual space or an abnormal phenomenon, one thing was for sure, it was closed and limited. There would not be a second open infinite space in a complete universe. This was one of the many rules known as the "Creator's Principle". This principle determined the order and stability of the universe. Hao Ren had once heard about this from Raven 12345.
So he was sure that if he were to head towards the stars … he would reach the edge of this world.
But he did not know what it looked like, and whether it was safe.
"Not a bad idea." The MDT praised as she heard Hao Ren's plan. "How do you plan to get there? Do you have a spaceship with you? "
"I do have a spaceship with me." Hao Ren looked at the sparse starry sky. Under the two moons, there were only a few bright stars visible. "But I'm not sure if it's safe to break through the sky … Tsk, let's not think too much about it. I have to go up and take a look."
The MDT did not say anything as she watched Hao Ren release the silver-white inspector's ship from his dimensional pocket. The Petrachelys floated quietly in the night sky. Under the remote command, it had switched off all lights and shielded itself from heat and radiation. This way, it would not be seen by humans from afar. Hao Ren looked at the behemoth as he rubbed his chin. "Say, should we install a cloaking device on it? I think it'll come in handy. "
"Whatever you want. Spaceships like this have a lot of modification slots anyway. You just need to apply and you can probably modify it. But every module needs to be powered by the ship's core. There are a lot of idiotic newbies who just installed a bunch of fancy plug-ins on the ship. Then after completing a mission, they would apply for help and be dragged back … "
Hao Ren thought for a while. He still felt that he should look into upgrading the ship when he had the time, but now was not the time. He led the MDT to board the ship and activated the mainframe. He then habitually sat on the captain's seat with his hands off the keyboard. "MDT, execute silent ascent sequence."
There was no movement from the ship. Hao Ren turned around and saw the blonde corpse MDT staring blankly at the control panel. Right under her butt was her usual slot …
"I can't fit it in!" The blonde girl shook her legs to show that she was already using her strength. "Open it yourself!"
Hao Ren had no choice but to fiddle with the flashing panels on the spaceship. Fortunately, he was no longer the hothead who did not know what to do when faced with the automatic hatch. After carefully studying the pilot's manual, he was able to handle the usual operations. However, after confirming the condition of the spacecraft's power core, he suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? So that's what this place shows? "
"What's wrong?" The MDT jumped down from its slot to watch the commotion. "Can't understand the diagram?"
"It's not a chart." Hao Ren pointed at the state of the power core on the holographic projection. "The psionic energy readings are gone, and many energy units and calculations are not normal … And I can't see the monitoring images of the laboratory and engine compartments."
"Let me see." The MDT said as she began to fiddle with the control panel with her hands. When she was still stuck on the control panel, this was a matter of seconds. But now, she could only use one finger to poke and poke at the panel. This made her very unhappy, but she could not do anything about it. So she could only use her one-finger tap as fast as she could. Very soon, she had finished looking at the problematic data that Hao Ren had mentioned, and found that there was indeed something wrong with the spaceship.
"All the parts that directly display the psionic energy modules are not working. The equipment's parameters are not fully displayed, only showing signs of normal or abnormal," the MDT said as she suddenly pressed a blue button on the control panel. "Mainframe, direct communication, report your situation."
The holographic projection on the control panel showed that the mainframe was "all normal", but there was no sound.
Hao Ren frowned as he suddenly thought of something. "Let's go to the laboratory and engine compartment!"
He pulled the MDT out of the bridge and quickly came to the door of the laboratory compartment. This was the most sophisticated and high-tech part of the Petrachelys. Half of the ship's advanced equipment was here, and it also stored special samples such as lifeblood, the remains of the First Born, and the remains of the brain monster. When he was checking the status of the spaceship, this compartment and the engine compartment were all dark.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and opened the door of the laboratory.
He almost fell into a chaotic space.
A distorted room formed by a large amount of metal and crystalline material appeared before him and the MDT. Every part of the room did not conform to the laws of geometry. Like a labyrinth drawn by optical illusion, or a child's unbalanced drawing of a landscape, the ship's lab had become a bizarre and incomprehensible sight. As the scene in front of him was completely out of the geometric rules of reality, and even beyond the understanding of human logic, Hao Ren felt a little dizzy when he saw the scene behind the door. Fortunately, the MDT was quick to pull him out and close the door.
"What happened just now?" The MDT was surprised. She may have a strong logical processing ability, but she was weak when it came to imagination and reasoning.
"This is not our spaceship." Hao Ren panted as he recovered from the distorted and disgusting scene. "Or should I say, not entirely. Just like Nolan said, this world is a stage play, and it's a simulation. So everything here is a simulation, including the stuff I took out from my dimensional pocket … "
As he spoke, he took out his inspector's gun from his dimensional pocket.
This was the first time he took out his gun since he came to this world.
The silver psionic gun looked normal, and judging from its appearance, even the owner, Hao Ren, could not see anything unusual about it. But Hao Ren took a deep breath, closed his eyes and focused on the outline in his mind before pulling the gun.
The gun moved unbelievably, and a bullet came out …
The MDT was stunned. "Since when does an inspector's gun need bullets? Isn't this an energy weapon? "
"This world can only simulate what it can understand. The simpler and more in line with the level of human civilization, the easier it is to simulate, and the more complex it is, the more difficult it is to simulate." Hao Ren put the gun away. He knew that this weapon would not be able to unleash much power in this world. "My Steel Membrane Shield is easy to manifest, so it can be simulated. The staff I gave Nolan is an Aerymian elven product. It's not very advanced, so it can also be simulated. But my gun … it uses psionic energy."
Hao Ren shook his head as he walked back to the bridge. "This thing's core technology is too advanced, so this world can only simulate its shape. Our spaceship is the same, and there are more incredible things in it. So it simply became this indescribable thing. "
The MDT came to her senses as she patted the alloy wall beside her. "So when you released the spaceship, this world had no idea what you had pulled out of your stomach … and could only create a shell similar to the Petrachelys for emergency purposes?"
"What you said makes sense, but your mouth is almost as bad as mine."
The MDT did not care as she limped to catch up with Hao Ren. "Then the question now is, can we still fly this spaceship?"
Hao Ren only replied with three words. "Should be able to."
When they reached the bridge, Hao Ren tried to activate the silent ascent sequence, and it was just as he had imagined. While he did not know how the Petrachelys worked, it really did start to ascend silently.
The MDT was shocked. "Oh my! It can really fly? "
"While this world does not understand what a psionic engine is," the corner of Hao Ren's mouth curled up. "But 'it' at least knows that spaceships can fly. Now … let's see what's at the edge of the world, or rather, how big of a boundary this world can simulate. "
