Chapter 88

The ocean of knowledge is boundless. The higher Chen Ang ascended, the vaster the world he saw. The deeper he delved into his studies, the more he realized his own ignorance. Even though he maintained the habit of studying and researching for over eight hours a day, he still felt increasingly overwhelmed. Facing the vast sea of unknown fields, the efforts of one person seemed too insignificant.

When he came out of the laboratory, the moonlight had already shone through the skylight onto the high platform. "Another day of research is over!" Chen Ang looked at the bright moonlight and said to himself.

In his hand, he held a six-sided metal Rubik's cube, which glowed with a faint white light under the moonlight. Chen Ang let go of the cube, watching it hover in mid-air. Suddenly, he said to the intelligent management program, "SkyNet, start the test!"

"The third spatial metal test, begin recording!" A stiff electronic voice came from the platform. Several laser beams shot out from all sides, forming a small laser screen that enveloped the metal Rubik's cube.

Chen Ang gently tapped the front of the cube, and it began to rotate on its own. Amid the mechanical operation sounds, the cube's modules gradually increased, expanding to dozens of times its original size. The original sixty-four small modules, arranged in four rows and four columns, quickly split into a sixteen-by-sixteen Rubik's cube, increasing its volume by sixty-four times.

The cube's operation never stopped. It began to rapidly expand, with each small module quickly disassembling. Countless tiny micro-modules continuously rearranged and combined, and in the air, the outline of a floating positron cannon gradually formed.

The massive cannon was as large as a room, occupying most of the platform. Its smooth metal surface and intricate mechanical structure made it hard to believe that it had once been a palm-sized Rubik's cube in Chen Ang's hand.

"Spatial metal module, structure: Floating Positron Cannon Type I. Maximum spatial expansion ratio: 1:100,000. Design parameters met. Should the positron cannon be charged?" SkyNet asked in a rigid tone.

"No!" Chen Ang retracted the spatial metal module, which quickly compressed back to its original shape and was once again held in his palm.

The development of spatial metal was very successful. In fact, even Chen Ang had not expected it to go so smoothly. The advantage of gravity manipulation in the study of spatial physics in this world was simply too great. Gravity is a field of study concerning space and mass, and Chen Ang's spatial perception had advanced significantly. As a result, he made rapid progress in spatial physics and also delved deeper into the study of mass effects.

Mass and space are closely related yet have distinct systems. They are like two sides of a sheet of paper in the field of gravity, with many closely related aspects in science. This is why Chen Ang was ultimately able to apply gravitational distortion to real matter, leading to the development of spatial metal, a product that thoroughly dissects matter and space.

Although the success of spatial metal was largely due to the special microscopic laws of this world, it was different from metal cells. Chen Ang was confident that he could replicate this metal in other worlds, although the effects might be reduced, it would still solve the problem of carrying too much matter.

During the process of crossing worlds, the massive spatial changes could almost destroy all spatial items. Only matter could be protected by the穿越 ability and pass through the tunnel. Spatial metal was developed based on this principle.

As he walked to the door, Chen Ang saw Deadpool lounging around. He had taken off his mask, and Chen Ang had unsewn his mouth. He looked like a spirited young man. "Boss! You look like you had a great night. Did you create a cyborg for yourself? I know you can do it!"

" Deadpool, if you don't want me to treat you like your former boss, you'd better tone down your sense of humor!" Chen Ang's face was calm. He looked at the Manhattan River under the moonlight, watching the full moon rise high and the silver river slowly flow to the sea. His demeanor became increasingly ethereal. He heard Deadpool's witty remark and warned him without turning around.

His words sounded to Deadpool as if they came from an infinitely distant sky. Deadpool stared at Chen Ang with wide eyes, trying to discover something, but he eventually gave up in frustration because he could no longer see Chen Ang clearly. Chen Ang seemed to be enveloped in moonlight, with a layer of bright mist around him.

"How are the cancer cells?" Chen Ang tilted his head and looked at him.

Deadpool grinned and said, "I've never felt better. You know, I've been waking up from dreams of my own handsomeness these past few days!" He admired himself in the smooth metal wall for a long time, saying, "I feel even more handsome after getting better."

"I once swore that if someone saved my face, I would treat the world kindly and be nice to everyone." Deadpool said seriously, "Boss, I'll work for you from now on. Please ensure my health. Love your employees as you love yourself."

"I don't keep idle people. Tell me what you can do!" Chen Ang examined him.

"I only know how to kill, Boss!" Deadpool said solemnly.

Chen Ang looked at him for a while and sighed in disappointment. "Still a fighter! Sounds impressive, but if that's all you can do, you'll be fired. I don't lack for useless people who only know how to kill!"

As if to prove Chen Ang's words, behind him, the SkyNet robots quickly reorganized. Dozens of liquid robots carrying ray guns appeared in front of Deadpool. The fierce war machines reflected the cold metal light, existing solely for the purpose of killing.

Deadpool swallowed hard and said with a nervous laugh, "I can see that, I can see that! Can you make them stay a bit further away? They make me feel a bit uncomfortable."

Chen Ang ignored his request and said seriously, "Can you learn some surgical medicine? I'm quite short of lab assistants! Or theoretical physics, spatial physics, to help me with some dangerous experiments. To be honest, I need an assistant who isn't afraid of death."

Deadpool blinked and suddenly said, "Do you have anyone you hate, Boss? I can take care of them for you! I'm very quick at killing..."

"It seems you don't want to learn these things!" Chen Ang said coolly. "Research or be researched, that is the question. I thought you would choose the right one. To be honest, what use is a person who only knows how to kill? Robots can do it better."

"SkyNet, specialized in a million killing techniques, with an endless number of robot clones. I just need to give a task, and the program will complete it on its own."

Chen Ang sighed, "It seems you only have value as a subject for research!"

"Wait, Boss!" Deadpool hurriedly said, "I think I can still be saved. Just tell me what you need, and I'll do it. I'm actually quite smart and learn quickly!"

"You're not a straightforward person, Wade!" Chen Ang said slowly. "You have cancer, and I can cure it, so you work for me. Just like working for Striker of Weapon X and the U.S. government. Whoever pays, you support."

"But I'm different from them, Wade! I don't need you. Your value isn't as great as you think! This means one thing: I won't tolerate so much from you. A boss can tolerate the whims of his excellent employees, but it doesn't mean a nobody has the leverage to negotiate!"

"Don't try to show off your cleverness or wit, Wade. I know everything you do behind my back."

"If it weren't for those robots, I'd teach you how to behave!..." Deadpool said with a pout.

Chen Ang slowly extended his hand. Deadpool saw that nanobots quickly carried metal particles, melting and forging them in mid-air. In just a breath, a nanobot furnace appeared in front of them.

The red-hot metal liquid, under mechanical control, cooled and formed, forged in an electromagnetic furnace, then tempered, quenched, and cooled. A silver-white metal longsword appeared in Chen Ang's hand, the entire process taking no more than three minutes.

SkyNet's power was displayed without reservation, leaving Deadpool breathless, feeling the overwhelming technological force.

When Chen Ang gripped the sword, a indescribable feeling made Deadpool's hair stand on end, as if facing something terrifying. A sharp, cutting sensation, like a blade slicing through skin, filled the air.

PS: I will be going live tomorrow and will be organizing the outline. Today, there is only one update, but for the next week, I will maintain three updates per day.

This is the first time I'm doing such high-intensity updates.

Just thinking about it makes me feel scared.

Many readers in the book review section are unclear about where chapters 81, 82, and 83 are. They are actually previews one, two, and three, which I have included in the chapter count. The previews seamlessly connect to the main text.

Also, I'm asking for support for the first update tomorrow.

A week of three updates! Although it might not be as satisfying as five or ten updates for some books, it's already a huge effort for me.

I'm working so hard, please support me!
