Chapter 38
Bionic Android
Guo Hao had already made up his mind to head into the starry sky.
Because of this, he pondered for a long time.
During these one or two months, Guo Hao mainly did two things: one was making a virtual reality engine, and the other was unifying algebra and geometry.
These two things consumed the vast majority of Guo Hao's time.
However, in the gaps of this time, Guo Hao did one more thing, which was contemplating the pros and cons of heading into the starry sky.
Ultimately, Guo Hao felt that no matter what, this was a good thing.
Because judging from the information obtained from the Cassi Empire, the Tianxing Empire had a very strong capacity for tolerance. If he went to the Tianxing Empire and joined the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the probability of his death would actually be extremely low.
Furthermore, he had many life-saving items. In the end, even if the Tianxing Empire wanted to kill him, the difficulty of his escape would be very low.
Finally, there was the profit.
Going to the Tianxing Empire, whether joining the Imperial Academy of Sciences or the academy, was absolutely a great thing for him.
By raising his status, he would be able to access more technologies.
Moreover, in the field of foundational subjects, the Tianxing Empire had definitely developed to an extremely high level. Not to mention those super black technologies and such, just that foundational knowledge alone was enough to make this trip worthwhile for Guo Hao.
It was equivalent to studying abroad! Studying abroad on an alien planet—he really hadn't had such an experience before!
No matter how one looked at it, it was a great thing!
Besides!
Regarding that supreme treasure, Guo Hao himself was also extremely curious.
Did that thing have any connection to his system? If so, what kind of connection was it?
If not, why was it such a coincidence?
For Guo Hao, this was full of mysteries.
This was also something Guo Hao wanted to figure out.
Furthermore!
The Cassi Empire was still backing him up from behind!
Letting them help him establish roots in the Tianxing Empire certainly wouldn't be too difficult!
Having thought this through, Guo Hao no longer rejected heading into the starry sky.
Of course, going into the starry sky also posed problems.
For instance, what about his parents? What about Luo Yan?
What about Earth?
These were all very important questions.
Thinking of this, Guo Hao felt a slight headache.
This was a good opportunity, but the danger was also very great. More crucially, he would have to leave his homeland, his parents, his wife...
Thinking of this, Guo Hao sighed softly.
Some things were truly difficult to have both ways. If he wanted to pursue the unknown and strive for more, then leaving was inevitable.
Earth's civilization was too backward; if he wanted to develop it himself, it would consume a vast amount of time.
Right now, there was an opportunity to acquire high-level knowledge.
It was extremely difficult for Guo Hao to let it go.
Ultimately, if he had to rely solely on himself to develop the high-level knowledge system, even with the system, his upper limit would definitely not be too high.
After all, obtaining high-level knowledge from the system only had one possibility: the lucky draw.
But now, his missions were becoming harder and harder to trigger, and the number of lucky draws he could perform was getting fewer and fewer. One day, he would no longer be able to perform any lucky draws.
He might end up trapped to death in the Solar System.
At most, he might find the next planet with life, and that would be it.
As for eternal life?
At least from what Guo Hao currently possessed, based on his current research results, he could help himself extend his lifespan.
The Water of Life was very effective for him, but its upper limit was also very clear: three hundred to five hundred years.
At most.
Beyond that, it wasn't a matter of cellular telomeres, but the lifespan of the cells themselves.
When the cells of the entire body reached their limit of division, they would decay on a global scale, making it impossible to continue surviving.
In other words, five hundred years!
Even if his luck was at its best and his abilities were superb, five hundred years was the limit!
This was the end point of having heaven-defying luck and putting all his effort into biological technology.
Five hundred years!
Someone else might feel that five hundred years was enough.
But for Guo Hao, he was not satisfied with five hundred years.
Because he was a reincarnated person, and a reincarnated person with a system at that. His ambition was eternal life.
This was his obsession, and it had been so from the very beginning.
Therefore, perhaps Guo Hao had already begun doing some genetic experiments earlier precisely for the sake of eternal life.
But staying trapped on Earth would not grant him eternal life.
These years of biological research had brought Guo Hao to a bottleneck.
Therefore, he had to make this trip to the Tianxing Empire!
After all, if a native like him ran to the Tianxing Empire, with Earth's level of civilization and his own level of knowledge, Guo Hao didn't think the Tianxing Empire would highly regard him.
But if he had the backing of the Cassi Empire, it would be a completely different story.
Besides, with the current speed of Earth's spaceships, let alone the speed of light, they couldn't even reach half the speed of light.
Leaving the Solar System was already a stretch. Going to other star systems would easily take hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of light-years.
Flying straight over would take hundreds or thousands of years?
This bit of his lifespan wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!
Moreover, he didn't even have the coordinates of the Tianxing Empire!
Therefore, no matter what, cooperating with the Cassi Empire was a must.
These thoughts flashed through Guo Hao's mind.
He closed his attribute panel.
At this moment, Guo Hao turned his gaze to the other two items he had drawn: the Void Crystal and the bionic android.
He opened the system description of the Void Crystal.
[Void Crystal: A special crystal containing space energy. Please explore its uses on your own.]
Looking at the system description, Guo Hao was slightly curious.
He was truly curious!
Space energy!
What kind of energy was that?
Guo Hao felt an itch in his heart. After a moment of hesitation, he retrieved the Void Crystal from the system.
An irregularly shaped, crystal-clear stone about the size of a chicken egg abruptly appeared in Guo Hao's hand.
Space energy...
"Xiao Xin, start up the instruments. Let's analyze the internal structure of this thing and find out what exactly its internal energy is!"
Guo Hao said with a hint of excitement.
Xiao Xin started up many scanners, including an energy spectrometer and various high-end instruments, beginning a comprehensive analysis of the Void Crystal.
Very quickly, the results came out.
But looking at the results in front of him, Guo Hao's brow furrowed slightly.
It wasn't that the results were bad, but... they were very strange.
Inside this Void Crystal, there was indeed a massive energy reaction, but this energy reaction was very bizarre.
The current energy spectrum analysis made one doubt life itself, because this energy was clearly flickering in and out of existence.
It was completely different from the vast majority of known energies!
"Is this space energy??"
A thoughtful look appeared in Guo Hao's eyes.
Perhaps... he could use this crystal to do something, but not right now!
