As for what new species to create, Sebastian had several thoughts in his mind, but a decision could not be made immediately. Just when Sebastian was about to continue to observe the planet, the doorbell rang.
Sebastian exited from the Awakening Space, stood up, and opened the door to take a look. It was a man in uniform. It could be inferred from the pressure that this is a Fourth-Level Planetary Lord.
"Hello, is this Sebastian?" The uniformed man asked.
Sebastian nodded and asked suspiciously, "Yes, I am. But who are you?"
"I am a staff member of the council," the man replied.
"Council staff?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows. The Council of Stars is a very powerful force.
"This is your Champion Prize." The man showed a box at the door and said.
"Champion Prize?" Sebastian blinked and said, "If that's the case, why did it come to me now?"
"This is the stipulation of the Council, in order not to affect your promotions," the man replied.
Bringing the box back to the villa, Sebastian opened it. Inside the box is a transparent crystal. These clear crystals don't just look great; there is also a strange aura inside.
"Origin Crystal?" Sebastian couldn't help but blink. This is the true source of the Origin's power. Previously, his Origin's Power, which accelerates the planet, came from the Origin Crystal.
For an origin crystal, a lot of the origin's power can be extracted. But the Origin's Power cannot replace the effect of the Origin Crystal. The source energy of the Origin Crystal is purer, especially for planetary time acceleration.
After the planet reached Level 3, the acceleration effect of the Origin's Power became very weak. A planet with higher talent performs worse in acceleration. Terra is the highest talent of the Eternal class, so it doesn't work well. At this time, it must be replaced with a purer and more abundant energy like the Origin Crystal. But the price of the Origin Crystal is much higher than the Origin's power.
"I remember that the Origin Crystal is also graded. From low to high, they are divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade." Sebastian thought, "The higher the grade, the purer the origin crystal and the better the effect. Above the top grade, there are also top-grade origin crystals, and the effect is even more startling. But the best origin crystals are very difficult to obtain."
Sebastian glanced at the number of Origin Crystals in the box. The total amount is a hundred, but they are all low-grade crystals.
"The council is quite generous; a hundred appeared." Sebastian smiled slightly.
If this is to be sold, at least hundreds of thousands of points can be exchanged. It is different from the first two levels of Planets. After Level 3, the ecological stability of the planet will increase, so it will be easier to speed up. Level 3 planets actively use the Origin Crystal more often. But when the planet's talent is higher, the Origin Crystal consumption for acceleration is also greater.
"Terra has Eternal Talent, so it is estimated that these Origin Crystals will not last long. " Sebastian was a little helpless. Terra is also different from other planets, as unlimited acceleration is possible if the amount of origin crystals is sufficient.
"Now let's speed up slowly." Sebastian was not in a hurry.
The present scientific and technological development can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. All walks of life and fields are in the midst of a big surge, especially the aviation industry. Thanks to advanced materials, the engine isn't a problem at all. It has also surpassed previous generations by several times.
Sebastian suddenly remembered that in the Awakened Space, except for Terra, all other planets are energy clusters. There is no physical existence.
"Let's make a few planets first." Sebastian went into the Awakening Space again. If people want to go on interstellar voyages in the future, where are they going to fly?
Creating lifeless planets comes from directly consuming origin energy and converting it into matter. Of course, under normal conditions, energy is difficult to convert into matter. For example, during the last H-bomb explosion in the finals of the Stars competition, only a few grams of mass are converted into energy. On the other hand, to convert into a few grams of mass, it is necessary to absorb tens of thousands of tons of pure energy without loss.
Before making the planets, Sebastian first used the system to deduce them. The positions of these planets must be just right from Terra; otherwise, they will also affect each other. After some deduction, Sebastian used an Origin Crystal to create the first planet beyond Terra. It is about 400,000 kilometers away from Greater Terra. That's right, it is similar to the distance between the Moon and the Earth. The diameter is 3,000 kilometers, and it is orbiting Terra.
Sebastian simply named it the Moon. When the Moon suddenly appeared in the sky, it was immediately discovered by the Imperium's observatory, and they were shocked. They reported this sighting to the Council. It is Catherine who is in charge of this matter.
"Ah? Really?" After hearing the news, Catherine's first reaction was not shock, but excitement. All she had in mind was whether the God Emperor had finally taken action again. She rushed to the observatory at the fastest speed and carefully observed the Moon in the sky.
"It's different from other planets." Catherine soon realized that something was wrong.
At the current astronomical level, they had long discovered that the planets in the sky were just a bunch of energy. But this time, it is a real material planet. Catherine thought for a while, and suddenly she figured something out.
"Isn't this a planet specially created by God the Father when he saw that we were going into spaceflight?" Catherine was smart and quickly came to a judgment that was not far from the truth.
Sebastian smiled slightly, but there was no explanation. Making a planet is easy, but it is hard to give birth to life on it. The position of this Moon is fixed, and it is impossible to produce life. There is no suitable environment for life to survive.
"Is it possible that a powerful planetary lord also created the Moon and the Earth?" Sebastian looked at the moon he had just made, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind. Of course, this is impossible.
After finishing creating the Moon, Sebastian's work was not over yet. Farther from Terra, Sebastian created another planet. The planet is much bigger than the Moon. It is 7,000 kilometers in diameter, but it is much farther away from Terra, at a distance of 60 million kilometers. Mars has a diameter that is about half the size of Earth, and the distance is about the same.
"If that's the case, let's call it Mar, as well." Sebastian's naming was quite simple.
The planetary environment in the Awakening Space is better, so there is no need to worry about cosmic rays or anything like that. Same as the Moon, Mars also does not have the conditions for the birth of life. The matter on these two planets is also the simplest substance, which is incomparable to Terra.
Because it is a man-made planet, it is impossible to compare it with the main planet. While Terra can keep getting bigger and bigger, the Moon and Mar cannot. After making the Moon and Mar, Sebastian finished the work.
With the Imperium's current technology level, it is estimated that it will take a long time to explore. Sebastian originally wanted to model the solar system, even the Milky Way. But glancing at the remaining Origin Crystal, he immediately gave up on this plan.
Creating the Moon and Mar costs two Origin Crystals. If he wants to replicate the Milky Way, it is estimated that he will go bankrupt. According to past astronomical observations, the number of stars in the Milky Way alone is at least 100 billion, so this would cost at least 100 billion Origin Crystals. It is estimated that selling the Domain of Stars may not be enough.
"The Milky Way alone is so scary. What if it is the entire universe?" Sebastian dared not think about it any further; that is simply impossible.
"Let's honestly develop my little planet." Sebastian turned his attention back to Terra. The first thing to look at is not the Imperium, nor is it the Second Continent; instead, the Space Kangaroos on the Third Continent.
Although these space kangaroos have reproduced, after an unknown number of generations, the size of the parenting space is increasingly smaller and smaller. At that time, because it was during the Star Competition, Sebastian didn't care.
Now that there is free time, Sebastian looks around. The volume of parenting space that comes with the Space Kangaroo has gotten bigger. Not just space kangaroos, but the other animals and plants of the Third Continent, the level of life has been slightly improved. For example, the power of the electricity emitted by the Pikachu is even greater.
On the Second Continent, Giant Gorillas, Godzilla, Skeleton Reptiles, and other large creatures have the same effect. Although the Second Continent at this time has no hegemony, the Giant Gorilla occupies a dominant position because there is indirect protection from the Astra Militarum, plus the role of the Water of Life.
Giant gorilla numbers are developing rapidly. In just ten years, it has grown to over 5,000. Because in the Contest of the Stars, from start to finish, the Giant Gorilla has never officially taken action, and they haven't competed with other supernatural creatures, this is extremely uncomfortable. All they do is the work of bodyguards.
Because of the growth of giant gorillas, the Second Continent is also developing steadily. But beneath this calm surface, there is an undercurrent. The Trisolaran who had been unnoticed began to expand out of the valley.
"Oh," Sebastian observed these translucent intelligent creatures again after a long time, and he was surprised to find that such intelligent creatures, the Trisolaran, had been developed to the next generation. The reason is not because of how much the technology has improved.
But mainly on the Second Continent, after Terra was promoted to a Level 3 planet, a magical metal appeared. In the past, new metals appeared on the First Continent, but this time, it is on the Second Continent. This makes the Trisolaran very pleased.
They quietly spread farther afield, and the entire ethnic population reached more than 100,000. Although there are only 100,000 people, because of the particularity of reproduction, Trisolarans can pass on memory. Its scientific research ability is stronger than that of tens of millions of people in the Imperium.
Regrettably, the Imperium has not yet discovered another kind of intelligent life on Terra. Terra, except for them, there are other intelligent beings. Originally, after the Trisolaran created a certain lethal weapon, it was ready to kill and occupy part of the territory.
But after seeing the Astra Militarum, they immediately changed their mind and continued to develop quietly. If we talk about the current combat power, except for a few groups such as Giant Gorillas and Godzilla, the Trisolarans have no opponents at all. The group of Godzillas has also exceeded 100, and the internal reactor in their bodies has become more powerful.
"Sure enough, after Terra's promotion to Level 3, it has an improvement effect on the species on the planet." Sebastian thought to himself. The same goes for other landmasses, except for one species, of course: the cat.
His eyes turned back to the First Continent. At this time, all over the Imperium, most of the attention and focus were gathered in the Aviation Center. Here, the Imperium's first manned spacecraft will be launched. This is a historic event, and naturally, it has attracted a lot of attention.
"10."
"9."
"8."
"7."
...
"2."
"1."
As the countdown ended, the rocket carrying the first manned spaceship launched into the sky. This isn't the first spacecraft; in the past ten years, three spacecraft have already gone into space. The peculiarity of this time is that for the first time, it is crewed. Two astronauts aboard the manned spacecraft became the first and second humans in space.
The Imperium's aerospace industry started relatively late, but the pace of development is very fast. It can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds, and it was much more forceful than in the previous world. The manned operation was also successful.
The two astronauts not only went to space but also performed a series of extravehicular operations on it. And before that, a small space station has been built. In terms of technical difficulty, there is no pressure at all.
The moment when they saw two astronauts stepping out of the hatch, all the people at the scene couldn't help cheering. Catherine, who is the chief engineer, although there is a smile on her face, her eyes are already looking higher.
"The next step is to go to another planet." Catherine had a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "The God Emperor created two material planets; I'm afraid that's what he wants us to do."
As the creator of this planet, Sebastian's every move will be over-interpreted. After Sebastian suddenly created two planets, the members of the council were all shocked, and a special meeting was held. After some deliberation, overturn and revise the original aerospace plan. It is placed at the top of all projects. The investment and human and material resources have also been greatly improved. Catherine herself is in charge. Overall coordination and taking people into the air is just the first step. The more critical is the lunar landing.
"I wonder if God Emperor lives in a very distant star field?" Catherine thought to herself: "Maybe, when we sail far enough, we will be able to see the God Emperor."
"Little girl, you think too much," Sebastian responded silently in his mind.
Although Catherine's talent and scientific research level are amazing, it is impossible to understand the concept of planetary lords. Based on scientific theories, there are many guesses about the origin of Sebastian, the God Emperor. What exactly does it mean?
Catherine thinks Sebastian belongs to a being in a farther space or a higher dimension, but that's not the case. It's not that simple; even Sebastian didn't figure it out now. What is the relationship between the main world and the Awakening Space?
There is a new institution called the Weapons Center, and this new institution is located in the Royal Tombs Mountains. As the name suggests, new weapons are being developed here.
After the Star Competition, many people realized that the current weapon structure of the Astra Militarum is still flawed. It must be better and more diverse, except for the nuclear bomb; they also need to plan and develop other, more powerful weapons. A more powerful weapon than a hydrogen bomb? In this direction of development, many are very interested, and they have come up with new ideas.
"I don't know which categories are more powerful than the nuclear bomb." Sebastian had a preliminary guess but is still watching with interest.
