Chapter 287 - 286: Infrastructure Demon
After the Mushroom Civilization delegation came off the spacecraft, they put on translation headphones and happily greeted the representatives from Earth Civilization and Eternal Life Civilization.
When the three civilization delegations stood together, it was evident that the Mushroom People were highly distinctive. Their vivid colors and unique mushroom-like heads, resembling colorful umbrellas, made them instantly recognizable even in a vast crowd. Hide as they might, they could not be concealed.
Even during the greetings, a playful media friend jokingly ducked under a mushroom head to shelter from the wind and rain, eliciting joyful laughter from everyone.
Following that, the three delegations discussed and then began their official tour of Earth Civilization.
Led by the Earth Civilization delegation headed by Lu Xing, the Eternal Life Civilization and Mushroom Civilization delegations boarded the sightseeing ship.
This type of sightseeing ship was made using high-tech technology, employing materials 90% of which were a new type of ultra-steel glass that could transform from transparent to opaque and was harder than typical metals. If one stood on this new type of sightseeing ship, it would feel like flying through the Universe unaided, somewhat akin to walking on a glass bridge in ancient times—thrilling and exciting, with a 720-degree unobstructed view of various sights, very advanced and convenient.
Due to its function as a sightseeing vessel, this ship was not very fast, capable only of reaching the speed of light.
The ship’s propulsion system was simple and eco-friendly, using a gravity engine. It maneuvered by controlling the gravitational relationship with various celestial bodies. To achieve light-speed, certain energy, which extracted space energy from the universe, was required to raise the gravity increment to the level of space distortion, using spatial slip rate for light-speed travel.
The ship’s controls featured two designs: manual and interfaced. Manual is self-explanatory and needs no further detail. Robots could connect through a neuronal interface to control flight. Currently, some humans who had been injured and transformed into cyborgs also possessed neural components and could control through interfaced mode. Interfaced mode was more modern and advanced, allowing the user’s consciousness to be transferred to the ship’s hardware, becoming part of the software system and fully controlling the flight while also providing real-time tour narration.
