Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 368 - 285: A World of Despair and Pain

[Space Pool]: Construct a space pond.

"Space Series?"

Liu Jun paused for a moment, then understood.

After all, he had exchanged his low-level Space Divine Object with the Truth Angels for her High Wisdom.

These years, all the other gods have been busy, and she was no exception, trying to establish various space storage devices.

"And the pond?"

Liu Jun immediately guessed the specific function of this ability.

"Low level for space storage, mid-level for space transportation, high level for developing a space ocean?"

Liu Jun looked at the introduction.

Yet he found that this high-level Space Divine Object, which he did not have much expectation for, gave him an intriguing surprise.

...

In the classroom, the teacher was lecturing.

"What is Sixth Tier civilization? Can we really not break through to the Seventh Tier?"

"Then, what is the path?"

The teacher asked the question.

The children loudly shouted the standard answer:

"Of course it’s reproduction!"

"That’s right, the essence of life is evolution, generation after generation evolving, we will eventually break through the limits!"

"Even if we die, are killed by stronger young generations and enslaved, we must reproduce!"

"Yes, reproduction is the most honorable!"

"Indeed, for the future of civilization, I am willing to reproduce, willing to sacrifice!"

Everyone was brainwashed since childhood to believe reproduction is most honorable.

At this moment, a boy named Sona stood up and said, "No, reproduction is absolutely not the way out, absolutely cannot achieve the Seventh Tier!"

"I believe researching space technology is the new path for civilization, we must create a new world! Only in a brand new world can we possibly break through to the Seventh Tier."

The teacher paused, thinking this rebellious student’s idea was crazy and stupid.

"Nonsense!" the teacher reprimanded the unconventional little boy, "After the ninetieth generation, we will be adept at using spatial technology, able to perfectly traverse space without pressure, without dying prematurely!"

"You talk of researching space technology, but if we don’t reach ninety generations by reproducing, how can we research the spatial technology you speak of!"

"But ninety generations is enough," Sona said, "We should make an abrupt turn, shouldn’t continue down the reproduction path, that’s the wrong path, after ninety generations withstand the spatial warp shifts, we should start researching space!"

The teacher was so angry, blowing his beard and glaring, "Go stand outside as punishment!"

A thousand years later.

Sona advanced step by step, completed all academic achievements, became a hero of their race, and became an outstanding scientist.

He began to delve deeply into space technology research.

What is space?

The Cosmos can be likened to a vast ocean.

Planets are like islands in this ocean or on the tablecloth, people live on these planetary islands.

Any space technology is realized in this space ocean.

Space storage is nothing more than hanging parcels under the space ocean with ropes, retrieving them by pulling the ropes when needed.

Space transportation is merely establishing a convenient oceanic undercurrent, diving in, and swiftly reaching another part of the ocean.

Now, our civilization is to dive deep into the ocean and construct a new space world.

"Reality doesn’t allow for the Seventh Tier, maybe because this world doesn’t permit it! Or perhaps the difficulty to break through is so high as to be impassable, interstellar space technology might be our civilization’s only way out."

I spent seventy thousand years continuously researching space storage technology.

Until this day.

[Planetary Storage] plan initiated.

Under the spotlight of countless broadcast channels, people watch as I use brand new technology to sink an island—planet into the space ocean below.

"It succeeded!"

"Space storage technology succeeded!"

"Hahaha, a planet, our space reserve technology can now store a planet!"

Everyone cheered for the achievement.

A planet, directly sunk into the ocean, they turned this strike into: space strike!

And the sunken planet, they can figure out a way to shore it back to the sea level.

This way, equivalent to their space storage technology: can store a planet!

Sona’s name resonated throughout the world.

I became the strongest hero of this civilization!

People cheered for me, those colleagues who once doubted began apologizing.

I also received a message from the teacher back then: "I’m sorry, I was wrong! Sona, you must fulfill the teacher’s dream, I believe, we have a way out!"

Eight thousand years later.

With the vigorous development of space technology, after the [Space Storage] technology matured, we started researching more advanced space jumping abilities.

But space jumping is about building an underwater train beneath the ocean of planetary islands, the risk is too high, harder than sinking planetary islands with space storage.

We began sacrificing soldiers, diving massively into the space ocean, establishing stable space ocean currents, constructing underwater space corridors.

Another twenty thousand years.

"Space Ocean Train 018, officially launched!"

"Launch speed stable!"

"Eight engine data checks normal!"

"Accelerating!"

"Propelling the ocean current!"

"The eighth pre-excavation by the space tunnel shield machine is normal."

...

With all kinds of detections, the train was setting sail.

Numerous scientists excitedly shouted:

"This time might be successful!"

"Yes, it’s failed so many launches, it’s about time to succeed!"

Under the spotlight, when the space train steadily arrived at the exit on the other side.

The train came out of the space ocean to reach the destination, when the driver stepped out, everyone cheered.
