On the fat man's starship, layers of energy shields rose up, looking very similar to territory shields. However, no one has applied this technology to starships before.
"Hehe! The principle of the territory shield is actually not difficult. The difficult part is how to make the territory shield grow with the territory. I still can't figure it out. But if it's just about adding a shield to the standard module, that's not difficult!" the fat man chuckled.
Although he spoke casually, Raphael was still deeply shocked. Raising a shield was not difficult, but the difficulty lay in making the shield move along with the things inside.
It's like I drew a circle for you and told you not to step out of it. As long as you don't step out, you'll be safe. But you just took the circle with you and ran away?
How to make the territory shield move with the territory is something that many technology and even magic sides are researching. After all, even a mage's magic shield needs to rely on their enormous mental power to maintain its movement, and most spells cannot even move when they are holding up a magic shield.
“This isn’t difficult for you, but it has stumped a lot of people!” Raphael said with a complicated expression. The chubby little guy in front of him, a low-level lord, had actually done something that countless high-level lords couldn’t do. Was he really just the most worthless goblin race?
"Hehe! No, really. Don't be fooled by how powerful this territory shield is; it consumes a lot of energy. The starship's energy reserves aren't nearly enough to keep up! Look! Aren't they heading back? If they don't come back soon, the energy shield won't hold up!" the fat man instinctively protested, afraid that someone would steal something good.
"Next time, we can add the function of storing stellar energy to the starship. This way, we can directly use solar energy from space to replenish our energy. If all else fails, we can also build an artificial sun to shine and generate heat in the back. Although the energy consumption will be huge, it can ensure that the starship has enough energy in critical moments!" Ye Chen suddenly said.
"Not only that, but we can also add an incinerator to fight against dark creatures. The most numerous items are the corpses of dark creatures, which can be directly thrown in and burned to turn into energy!"
"If you're really capable, you could even try using dark energy as a power source and then use it to attack dark creatures. Just thinking about it is exciting!"
"Not only that..."
Ye Chen spoke eloquently, listing three or four methods for using energy alone. Not to mention Raphael, even the fat man was amazed when he heard it.
"Holy crap! Brother Chen, you really are still my Brother Chen! You even came up with a way to use dark energy as a source of power, you're a real genius! I have to try this out!" the fat man said excitedly, and was about to find a few goblins to experiment with, but Raphael stopped him.
"Wait, wait! Dark energy is also a type of energy. Many lords have used it as an energy source, some successfully and some unsuccessfully. The unsuccessful ones need no further explanation, but those who succeeded have basically all fallen into darkness. Therefore, researching the use of dark energy is currently strictly prohibited!" Raphael said in a serious tone.
While we may have wild ideas, there are still some things that need to be done according to the rules, otherwise the whole world would be in chaos.
"Explicitly prohibited? It includes lords too?" The fat man was stunned. Even Ye Chen was quite surprised. Lords have always had arrogant autonomy, especially on their own territories. They can do whatever they want without anyone interfering. This is the first time he has heard of something that is explicitly prohibited.
“Of course, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Research on dark energy caused considerable trouble for the lords of various planes for a period of time, so it was simply banned. Only some newly established planes that have just gained lords are unaware of this rule and may try it in secret, but as long as a plane has come into contact with a lord of the universe, it knows about these prohibitions, and the higher-ups of the plane all agree with them!” Raphael nodded and said, which made the fat man very regretful.
If we could truly figure out how to use these energies, it would undoubtedly be a boon to the entire universe, but unfortunately it is prohibited.
"So researching a newly created lord's plane isn't completely forbidden, right? What kind of punishment would you get if you were caught?" Ye Chen asked curiously, stroking his chin. This feeling of teetering on the edge of death was always so irresistible!
"You'd better not test the limits!" Raphael said with a wry smile, knowing that his words would only pique people's interest, so he could only try his best to dissuade him. "Punishment is nothing, after all, you are a lord. We'll just put you under surveillance and destroy everything related to you!"
"However, dark energy is very dangerous, especially in this research-oriented environment. One can easily be subtly infected without realizing it, and ultimately only fall into complete depravity!"
"If you really want to conduct research, at least wait until your second territory has completed its research. Then, completely separate the second territory to focus on this research. If problems arise in the end, you can simply abandon this territory."
"It is absolutely forbidden to use the main territory for research on dark energy. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, there will be no way to recover!"
Raphael said earnestly, "Dark energy is really too dangerous. If you're not careful, you can easily fall into it. It's really hard to guard against."
Ye Chen nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. Before he reaches the peak of the sixth rank in his territory and has his own sub-territory, I will absolutely not allow him to engage in research on dark energy!"
Fatty (looking completely bewildered): What? What do you mean by looking at me? Didn't you encourage me to do this research?
"Well, that's good! We must be very careful with this kind of research. Every year, quite a few research leaders die because of various research projects!" Raphael nodded, giving another word of advice as he remained concerned.
"Thank you for your concern, senior. Don't worry, I know that researchers can be a bit stubborn sometimes. I will keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything reckless. There are some bottom lines that he absolutely cannot cross!" Ye Chen said with a "sincere" expression.
"Good! Good! Good!" Raphael nodded with satisfaction, said no more, and continued to watch the war in the starry sky with Ye Chen.
The fat man was left standing there, bewildered in the wind. Who am I? Where am I? What did I do?
I didn't say a word! How did I become a dangerous and reckless researcher?
