Upon hearing Lu Ren respond to him, Chen Luo was startled, then relaxed completely and sat on the ground, both shocked and delighted as he looked at Lu Ren, sobbing for a while before finally shouting.
"Oh, fellow countryman, do you know how I've survived all these years? It's been hard, truly hard!"
Chen Luo was a bit surprised: "How did you enter this world layer?"
Lu Ren asked curiously: "How long have you been in this world?"
"Thirty years, a full thirty years! Do you know how I have endured all these years? In this world, there's only me left, completely devoid of people, utterly devoid of interest. When I first arrived here, there was genuinely nothing, not even a single dog at the beginning!"
Half an hour later, sitting beside the scattered spaceship, Chen Luo babbled on: "When I first arrived here, I had nothing at all, basically relying on my hands to deal with trees, refine iron, until I established an underground research lab, that's when I truly took off. It seems that when I arrived in this world, my body underwent some cleansing, not fearing this world's nuclear radiation."
He pointed to his head: "Also, my brain became exceptionally agile; I can understand the meaning of those knowledge pieces as long as I read them a few times."
Lu Ren was curious: "How did you manage to deal with trees with your bare hands, and even build furnace equipment, and eventually..."
He tapped the spaceship next to him, "I'm really curious, how exactly did you manage to create a spaceship?"
"Back then, due to the internet being quite popular, spreading things like barefoot doctor manuals, militia training manuals, and civil-military dual-use talent guides, it took me almost five years to build the most basic production facilities."
Lu Ren, with a strange expression, touched a piece of the spaceship: "This is super-strength alloy metal—is this something you refined?"
"It was Anna who refined it; I don't possess such skill."
"The artificial intelligence in the research lab, without her, I wouldn't have been able to create a spaceship with my bare hands."
Speaking of this, Chen Luo excitedly examined Lu Ren: "How did you do it just now?"
"Martial Path?" Chen Luo recalled slightly, then exclaimed in astonishment: "I remember when I first left, there was talk online that real Martial Artists weren't just fancy frameworks, fake stances, but did truly exist. I also watched those martial arts masters' battle videos online, I even thought they were just special effects."
Chen Luo got excited, flexing his biceps: "My body has been enhanced by serum, like the Captain of the Handsome Country; I think if I were to practice Martial Path, I'd definitely be a top master. I remember there was a word for it, what was it, Bright Awakening, right?"
"Bright Awakening, Bright Awakening has almost become commonplace now."
After nearly thirty years of development, in Huaxia, Martial Path cultivation has reached its peak; in the highly abundant material environment of modern society, various equipment, food, and even recently popular virtual reality dueling platforms have been developed to aid Martial Path cultivation, elevating Martial Path to a new height.
As a result, Martial Artists in the Bright Awakening Realm are no longer a novelty; your high school teaching and nurturing homeroom teacher might once have been a legendary figure whose Martial Path Realm reached Supreme Enlightenment.
Upon hearing Lu Ren's detailed explanation, Chen Luo was somewhat stunned: "So, there the Martial Path has prospered, and through profound cultivation, one can potentially survive in space environments relying solely on personal physique?!"
"Theoretically, that's correct."
Lu Ren spread his hands: "After all, so far, only I have walked naked on the moon's surface."
"..." Chen Luo suddenly grabbed Lu Ren's hand: "Can you take me back?"
Seeing Chen Luo's hopeful expression, Lu Ren expressionlessly retracted his hand, looking at the pile of spaceship fragments like scrap metal.
"No rush yet," Lu Ren said. "Could you first tell me how you entered this layer of realm?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noᴠelfire.net
Chen Luo was taken aback, "You mean the interior state? Aren't you here now, why ask me how I got in?"
Lu Ren looked at the spaceship beside Chen Luo, his gaze deep. If he could obtain this technology, once rooted in the True Realm, extending technological means into the True Realm would have enormous implications.
Five hours later, Lu Ren and Chen Luo left the Seeking Truth Realm, reaching the low Earth orbit above this planet, where a low Earth orbit space station of nearly thirty thousand square meters silently orbited the planet.
"Here, it was where the world's four superpowers collectively built a space station, simultaneously discovering the way to sink into the interior state."
Chen Luo paused: "That is what you call the True Realm; substantial documentation suggests that the interior state essentially belongs to a uniquely intelligent creature's mental state, constantly internalizing one's Spirit, frequency modulating, and once touching a critical value, one can enter the interior state.
It resonates with what you mentioned about Heart Eye elevation and sensory transformation; so far, it almost entirely constitutes a self-controllable and changeable great power, and upon arriving here."
Standing at the central control console of the space station, Chen Luo approached a cylindrical machine resembling a large centrifuge.
"And so far, this large equipment is the only means to transport people and equipment into the interior filling state... When you dismantled the spaceship, I thought I'd never come back, seeing as a miniaturized entrance device is still only a half-finished product, something that took almost five years of persistent research to achieve this outcome."
With a face full of exaggerated expressions, Chen Luo kept rambling on, seemingly having so many accumulated words finally finding a living person to share after thirty years without companionship.
Lu Ren wasn't impatient; he simply listened quietly to Chen Luo's recounting.
This guy, judging from his spoken words and expressions, is absolutely a super genius-level individual—it's like some incredible force honed his spirit and flesh during the crossing process, putting his Physique and Divine Soul into a wondrously diverse state.
According to cultivation knowledge, one would say he's Innate and sacredly possesses the ability to comprehend various aspects with a sudden heart awakening.
If one pursued the Qi Refiner path, ultimately it'd be the hope of becoming an Immortal Human, possibly glimpsing Earth Immortal.
This beginning, relying on hands to deal with trees, eventually using the research lab's blueprints to transform the below into an artificial intelligence central repository.
Under near-future technology, quantum computing's preliminary application had already been achieved there.
This means Chen Luo created the artificial intelligence Anna, and through dealing with trees, refining iron, and hand-making chips, he built several modern production lines, with Anna managing fully automated control, allowing him to rapidly enter the modern technology era alone.
