Chapter 138: SS Eternity 2.0

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Zhiyu was not planning to add more complex supernatural designs onto the redesign of the SS Eternity, but rather to increase the capabilities it already had. For a metallic alchemy ship, as long as it had the prerequisite technologies and knowledge, it would have limitless possibilities.
The deeper Lu Zhiyu got into his research on the usage of deified cells, the more he felt that the secrets surrounding deified cells and mind power were beyond his imagination! The first issue that Lu Zhiyu faced was discerning how deified cells passed information between each other.
Even if Lu Zhiyu was outside of the bitwall, as long as he willed it, he would be able to feel his deified cells and receive information from them. Even if this effect was temporary, wherever Lu Zhiyu was in the krynnspace world, he would still be able to connect with the kingdom that he had left on the moon.
But, as soon as he left the krynnspace world and returned to Earth, the connection would be broken. From this information, Lu Zhiyu deduced that the connection of deified cells stretched across space, but not across dimensions.
As such, Lu Zhiyu wanted to imitate some of the traits of dream control in order to release the inhibitors on the forms of deified metallic cells. In other words, metallic alchemy lifeforms would become extremely adaptable. Lu Zhiyu would be able to control each metallic cell, almost like a super mini robot. He would be able to combine them in endless combos to create a desired form.
The cells seemed to possess a connection between them that appeared, so far, to be immune to disturbances and virtually indestructible. This made the cells’ potentials and applicabilities seem terrifying to Lu Zhiyu. He decided that he would name these metallic life templates “metal controllers.”
“Sub-Brain II, enter Silent Mode, shut off the consciousness and the system.”
Lu Zhiyu docked the SS Eternity by an island, then brought it into the Dimensional Castle in order to begin upgrading it into the SS Eternity 2.0. He turned off the Sub-Brain II within it, which consisted of a basketball-sized cluster of deified cells.
He then removed the entire deified brain from the SS Eternity. As he did this, the ship lost all of its consciousness and abilities. It changed completely, becoming a normal wooden ship.
Within the laboratory of the Dimensional Castle, Lu Zhiyu began the metallification of the Sub-Brain. Lu Zhiyu provided elements like silicon, iron, and tungsten, which where then infused with mind power to form metallic cells. These new metallic cells, which had just been created, then merged with the Sub-Brain II.
After this entire process, the entire Sub-Brain II had transformed into a silvery-white metallic brain, which looked like a strange metal pimple. Lu Zhiyu then began to fix its life template.
Some time ago, Lu Zhiyu had already prepared a metal controller template to insert into the Sub-Brain. Once he did this, the Sub-Brain II instantly went through a violent change. The entire metallic ball began squirming, before completely melting!
Lu Zhiyu watched as the Sub-Brain II moved like mercury, spreading all over the ground within the great hall of the Dimensional Castle. It kept spreading, as the basketball-sized ball of metal writhed around, exploring its surroundings.
“Sub-Brain II, activate!”
Lu Zhiyu saw as the Sub-Brain II awakened and replaced the instincts of its body. The entire mercury-like lump of metallic cells leapt up, like a water vapor. It then covered the entire great hall, transforming it into a dreamy silvery world. As light hit the dispersed metallic cells, it created a pretty halo of glittering colors.
Lu Zhiyu controlled the Sub-Brain II and input a form into its consciousness. Immediately, the metallic cells rearranged themselves, as countless silver specks condensed into a complete metallic bone structure of a tiny ant-person! All of this happened, right before Lu Zhiyu’s very eyes!
Lu Zhiyu extended his hand, as saw it approach him from mid-air. He then began changing his commands. As he did so, he watched as the Sub-Brain II continuously transformed its state to follow his wishes, changing from an ant-person to a mini-car, then to a house, then a Rubix cube.
Now, the Sub-Brain II was considered to be a mythical creature too, though its current abilities were admittedly rather pitiful for a mythical creature. In fact, it was even weaker than Lu Zhiyu’s first generation mythical creature, Saqun. Yet, its potential for development was far beyond the likes of Saqun.
Lu Zhiyu let it go, then watched as it returned into a dispersed state, swirling around the entire Dimensional Castle. Then, there was a sudden change on the walls of the castle. A painting had appeared!
Lu Zhiyu, bringing the painting with him, then returned to the uninhabited island. Once he arrived, he was able to provide the island with lots of metallic materials.
Thus began the duplication of the metallic cells continuously. Though there wasn’t enough mind power to deify all of the cells, this basketball-sized metall controller mythical lifeform was still voraciously devouring the metallic cells.
It continuously devoured these metal materials, swallowing, merging, and constructing in accordance to the program that Lu Zhiyu had designed. Each individual cell was an independent constructor, operating at a speed that amazed Lu Zhiyu!
On the tiny pier of the uninhabited island, the furious construction continued, getting increasingly faster by the moment. From the initial barebones of an alchemy ship to the completion of the project, the metallic cells worked endlessly to form a complete metallic alchemical ship.
Lu Zhiyu watched as the SS Eternity 2.0 , which he had imagined for so long, materialized before him. It wasn’t too different from the original version, except that its color had changed to silvery white.
After boarding it, it was easy to see that the structure hadn’t changed much either. The biggest change was that the original plant cells had been replaced with the much stronger and capable metallic cells.
Lu Zhiyu stood aboard the SS Eternity 2.0, controlling the new metallic life alchemy ship. Its silver exterior and complete metal structure looked magnificent and extremely sturdy. After switching to metallic structures, Lu Zhiyu could sense that the speed of the Sub-Brain II was much faster. He also sensed that its calculation abilities had also improved greatly.
Its control over the alchemy ship was also more precise, as the deified cells had disseminated throughout the entire ship. Each of the cells were under the control of the Sub-Brain II, which could be adjusted according to Lu Zhiyu’s will at any moment.
After cruising for awhile, Lu Zhiyu sailed the ship though a murky dimensional door, leaving Maria’s World and returning to Earth once more.
