Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#634 - Space folding technology

After casually collecting a few relatively intact Decepticon aircraft wrecks from the dam, Liang Yue flickered, and his entire person disappeared from the spot once again.

This type of aircraft wasn't a transforming robot, but rather a combat aircraft similar to those appearing in Transformers 3.

Overall, its technological content was a level above the mainstream fighter jets of major countries on Earth.

It could freely and complexly switch between states such as supersonic flight, aerial hovering, and directional displacement, and its energy propulsion was also based on fusion reactions.

This type of fighter could deliver crushing blows to so-called fifth-generation fighters, especially in close combat.

But other than that, there weren't too many excessive technological components; whether in terms of energy dynamics or design concepts, they weren't too different from the development direction of human technology.

The Kryptonian spaceship that Liang Yue obtained in the DC world was far superior to this kind of thing in terms of technological content.

Things like inter-universe travel, energy shields, biological pods for revival and gene fusion, warp drives, faster-than-light thrusters, space jumps, phantom technology... Transformers had none of these technologies that humans considered science fiction.

Liang Yue originally had some expectations for the AllSpark cube. According to the setting in the plot, its function was actually closer to the Mother Box in the DC world.

It contained magical energy and also included a lot of knowledge and information similar to code.

In fact, in Liang Yue's view, the energy attribute inside the AllSpark could, to some extent, be compared to the Hellfire of the Ghost Rider~

Both could transform and modify the things they covered, and bestow certain magical properties.

The difference was that the energy in the AllSpark would give various electronic products individual intelligence and personality biases, while Hellfire was only inclined towards the attributes of enchantment and modification, with the Ghost Rider as the main focus.

Liang Yue felt that the reason for this difference was perhaps the effect of those knowledge and information.

It was roughly equivalent to the AllSpark additionally copying a new intelligent AI during the energy transmission and transformation process.

Moreover, this was, after all, a product of alien technology, so it was naturally much more advanced than the fool-style AI on Earth.

In addition to the default settings at the time of manufacture, it was almost similar to an intelligent life with an independent personality in the eyes of Earthlings.

However, Liang Yue didn't really care about these two things.

After truly seeing the real object of the AllSpark, he was instead more interested in the technology of spatial curvature folding.

For some reason, this technology couldn't help but remind him of the eleven-dimensional unfolding of the sophons in Three-Body, and the ability to freely travel through high-dimensional space.

And from this, Liang Yue then thought of some things about himself.

Due to the advancement of the Tenseigan and the awakening of the 'Intangibility' ability, Liang Yue himself was also able to freely travel in various dimensional spaces.

Even without the magical knowledge mastered by Earth's mages, he could still accomplish this very calmly.

This was a rather good spatial talent, but Liang Yue hadn't been able to make good use and development of it before.

Firstly, it was because his main energy was focused on improving his cultivation level and creating his main cultivation method. Secondly, this guy had enough methods to deal with enemies, and there was no urgent need.

He did study the swordsmanship in the spatial branch for a while when he was in the DC world.

But that was ultimately in the category of swordsmanship, and spatial ability was only used as an auxiliary.

Moreover, that was something used to teach disciples, and the application of spatial power and spatial rules was relatively superficial.

And now, the curvature folding that the AllSpark showed him, and even the multi-dimensional unfolding extended to the sophons, was undoubtedly more high-end.

It provided him with a rather good research idea.

In comparison, Liang Yue didn't have much interest in the AllSpark itself.

Although that thing could mass-produce Transformers, its capabilities were ultimately limited and had its own insurmountable ceiling.

It was like a mobile charging pile plus a waste recycling and repair station.

The Transformers regarded it as the origin and destination of the race, but for Liang Yue, it could only be regarded as a slightly crude robot production and maintenance plant at most.

And it was the kind of factory that hadn't been updated for tens of thousands of years, and hadn't improved its software and hardware facilities.

And Zhinao Xiaowu had actually researched many similar products in the stronghold world.

As for the source of the technology, in addition to the few Transformers that jumped in front of Liang Yue before going to the DC world, Ivan Vanko's remote-controlled robots, the intelligent program of the Kryptonian spaceship, etc., all provided enough inspiration for it.

Another thing worth mentioning is that not only the thirty years of experience in the DC world, but also when the stronghold world was upgraded before.

Zhinao Xiaowu's clone program, as well as various related research laboratories, also experienced an extra journey through time, just like those spiritual medicines and plants that were sprinkled down.

In that time of thousands of years, Xiaowu's clone had deduced various technologies at hand to a very exaggerated level.

Of course, since Xiaowu itself didn't have any creativity, the basic technological theories followed were mostly still at the level of human society.

Therefore, the technological system it researched still failed to transcend the limitations of realistic theory.

It was roughly the same as the current Transformers, always limited to a framework.

But relying on the cognitive blessing of Liang Yue, the master, and the occasional intrusion of some alien technological items, Xiaowu's research direction was undoubtedly more rich and colorful.

Biology, chemistry, physics, artificial intelligence, materials science, mechanical engineering, nanotechnology, space field, and other fields, advancing side by side!

It can be said that Optimus Prime and other Transformers in front of Xiaowu really have no advantage at all~

Well, if the independent personality is also an advantage, maybe this is the only thing they are stronger than Xiaowu.

Because, under Liang Yue's special guidance, the robots manufactured and produced by Zhinao Xiaowu can only reach the level of limited intelligence at most.

That is~ Like Xiaowu, it will be artificially restrained and must follow the constraints of a certain legal framework.

Situations like the column-selling behavior of Da Zhu in the original plot, and the mysterious logic of Ultron, are impossible to happen to it~
