Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 854 - 611 Possibility of High-Dimensional Navigation

High-dimensional space allows the transcender to traverse spatial limitations in a short amount of time and reach any corner of the world.

This was precisely the ability the Elf Race used when they first arrived in Blackwater City.

The same capability within the realm of Spiritual Energy—if the Elves can achieve it, why can't humans?

Helen was initially perplexed, but as her thoughts expanded, her eyes lit up more and more, "What you're saying does have a certain possibility!"

The restrictions of space are not absolute when it comes to high-dimensional space.

Theoretically speaking, traveling to a location in real space is akin to moving from one point to another on the surface of an unrolled sheet of paper—the distance on the flattened plane is an unignorable vast gap.

Yet for high-dimensional space, this unrolled piece of paper can be bent at will.

By folding the paper, two points originally distant on the planar surface become adjacent to each other.

Crossing the "rift" in high-dimensional space allows easy passage from one point in real space to another.

This has been the research conclusion humans have reached regarding high-dimensional space, and in fact, the Elves have conducted similar experiments. novelbuddy.cσ๓

If this concept could be applied to massive starships, they might truly possess a method of traversing vast distances via high-dimensional space.

"But even if this concept succeeds, we would only be solving the problem of time. The effects of spatial curvature... remain deadly. If our starships can't adapt to any curvature, then in the instant they return to real-world space, disintegration is inevitable."

"A brief tear—I might be able to endure it," Bai E frowned as he proposed his idea.

Returning an entire starship from light-years away, the prolonged journey had left his Spiritual Energy in a state of stretched depletion.

Yet if one only made brief transitions between high-dimensional space and real-world space, his current level of Spiritual Energy might be enough to preserve the ship's structure.

"This... could work," Helen pondered, stroking her chin. "But the prerequisite is that we must master a stable method of high-dimensional traversal. At present, human research in this field is far from sufficient for such extensive exploration."

"Someone does have it!"

Upon this thought, Bai E turned back and returned to the Elf Race's quarters, where he approached Wind Spirit, who did not seem even slightly surprised, and said, "Perhaps we can change the way we navigate!"

"Such as?" Wind Spirit's gaze carried a faint amusement as she asked calmly.

"High-dimensional space!"

"You want to use our method of high-dimensional travel?"

"Yes," Bai E stated bluntly, "This is the only short-term solution we can think of."

Wind Spirit considered briefly, "I'm not sure if this truly answers the question of how you humans will leave your planet. If you genuinely wish to learn, I won't hold back. However, I need to clarify one thing in advance."

"Please go ahead."

"You already understand what high-dimensional space entails—traversing it is fraught with incredible risks. Moreover, based on our current understanding, to enter high-dimensional space, the primary entity traversing must possess spirituality..."

Spirituality implies intelligence.

When a person wields a blade, the person is the primary entity, possessing Spiritual Energy, and thus capable of entering high-dimensional space.

When a ship carries people, the ship becomes the primary entity. Without spirituality, the ship cannot enter high-dimensional space.

Either the entire crewed starship is outright rejected from entering, or the humans enter but the starship remains outside.

Both outcomes are unacceptable for humanity.

"If it's a small-scale personnel team traversing, my own capabilities can achieve that. But if you aim to conduct space exploration on a scale comparable to your recent interstellar mission, relying on human effort alone to accomplish this process would be nearly impossible. No single person can imbue a massive starship with the necessary definition of spirituality."

Though Bai E could use his Spiritual Energy to protect the starship's integrity during its return from ripping through dimensions, that didn't mean he could use his abilities to disguise the starship's "true nature" in the face of high-dimensional space.

Thus, to facilitate large-scale exploration voyages, the issue of the starship's "spirituality" must first be resolved.

"..." Bai E furrowed his brow slightly, "Spirituality."

Spirituality is a concept that feels enigmatic.

But in this maddening world, it isn't that abstract of a notion.

For example, what if we could make the starship give birth to a Warship Girl Machine Spirit?

That might satisfy the definition of "spirituality."

But such things are rare miracles—his own mecha has always been merely a Pseudo Machine Spirit.

He could feel his mecha's heated response to his control, but it still fell far short of the "Machine Spirit" they spoke of.

If even the mecha he had spent the longest time with couldn't manifest a Machine Spirit, how could he rapidly create such an esoteric phenomenon for an entire starship?

"Perhaps..." Following closely behind Bai E, Helen suddenly spoke from the side, her eyes wide and glazed, "We might already have what we need."

Bai E raised his eyebrow slightly, "Have what?"

"Spirituality!" Helen gazed intently at Bai E, her eyes burning bright. "Remember those bio-engineered minds developed by the old synthetic-veterans?"

"Those bio-engineered veterans?" Bai E paused in surprise, dredging up memories of those terrifying creations capable of obliterating him instantly, "You mean their biological core brain system?"

"Yes! That core brain system could completely serve as the central processing unit for a starship." Helen's eyes gleamed, "If we replaced the current electronic controls of the starship with that biological core brain system, theoretically, the starship might genuinely be perceived as possessing 'spirituality'! And that biological core brain system is still stored safely in the warehouse... we can definitely try this!"
