Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 110 Ninth Floor

After successfully completing the emergency support mission in YN Province, Yuan Ze could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had more than double the points of the second place, and also earned a large amount of contribution points.

With these contribution points, Yuanze went to the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau to exchange for some disposable auxiliary tools and replaced a weapon.

Since the design drawings provided by Astra are quite complicated, it will probably take about ten days to make this thing.

While waiting for the weapons to be forged, Yuanze decided to give himself a short vacation. He rested well for two days and began to plan his next training plan.

After resting for a while, he once again came to the green assessment tower - the Tower of Source Power.

"Excuse me, I want to exchange all my contribution points for the authority of the Source Power Tower."

"Okay, wait a moment..."

The staff member responded while checking Yuanze's contribution point balance. When he saw the staggering number, he was suddenly shocked and speechless.

This amount of contribution points was enough for him to reach the eighth level.

Generally speaking, starting from the seventh floor of the Tower of Power, the contribution points required are not something that ordinary students can easily accumulate.

Only a few outstanding students can accumulate enough contribution points in the third year.

From the seventh level upwards, although the accumulation of source power can be significantly accelerated, the number of source crystals required is also extremely large, which discourages many students and makes them unwilling to open higher-level permissions.

"Are you done?" Yuanze saw the staff in front of him standing there in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.

"what are you doing?"

At this moment, a charming voice came from behind the staff member. The door of the office slowly opened, and a graceful woman in cheongsam walked out.

There was a hint of charm in her eyes, which made Yuanze look at her a few more times.

"It's classmate Yuan Ze!" The woman smiled. "I've heard of your name from Lu Zhengxi. You're very famous in YN Province. Even the two commanders have high praise for you."

Seeing this, the staff consciously gave up their seats. The woman walked to the workbench, crossed her hands on the table, leaned forward and looked at Yuanze carefully.

She has a slim figure, and the cheongsam is so tight that it can't hide her plump curves. Although her chest is covered tightly, it still can't suppress the feeling of fullness that is about to burst out.

But what is most attractive is her eyes. One eye is bright and watery, as if full of vitality; the other eye is covered by a black velvet eye mask, adding a bit of mystery.

"No, I'm just a student in the training camp. I just did what I could."

"You are too modest, Genzawa-san. Your performance in last year's training camp alone is enough to prove your potential."

"Since that gentleman thinks so highly of you, I will naturally give him enough face. I will make an exception this time and allow you to enter the ninth floor. However, remember to face the challenge bravely."

After saying this, the woman put away her smile, turned around and walked elegantly towards the office behind her. She didn't seem to care about the people around her talking about her opening the ninth level permissions for Yuan Ze.

"Even those veteran students who have been here for four or five years have not been able to open the ninth level, right?"

"Indeed, that strength is said to be able to suppress a weaker extraordinary-level source warrior to the point of being unable to move."

"Ninth level? A Rongtong-level student? Are you kidding me? Isn't this just courting death?"

"..." Yuanze knew very well that this woman seemed to be praising him, but in fact she deliberately pointed out the person behind him.

This is to hint to Yuanze that he had no choice but to do so, and he wants to clear himself and not offend anyone.

"Astra, will the ninth-level pressure suit hold up?"

"The strength of the gravitational field on the ninth floor is much stronger than before, but the new suit can share some of the pressure for you, so it should allow you to barely maintain it for a short period of time."

Astra has not yet figured out the performance of the new suit and can only give a conservative assessment.

"That's enough."

Yuanze took the elevator and went directly to the ninth floor amid the astonished gazes of everyone in the hall.

Just as Yuanze was about to enter the training room, someone grabbed him from behind.

"Child, you really don't need to be angry with that woman. She is obviously trying to provoke you, so don't act on impulse." The old doctor advised earnestly, his face full of worry and complaint.

Yuan Ze looked at the old doctor in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that although the old doctor had worked for the old man in white robes, he was not a bad person in nature, he was just doing his job.

"Don't worry, old sir. I will be safe. Just like last time, I am confident in my own body." Yuanze nodded slightly to show respect.

Seeing how determined he was, the old man let go of Yuanze's hand and stopped trying to stop him. He watched him walk into the training room and closed the door.

This training room needs to be activated before it can generate a strong gravitational field. Before that, all students entering for the first time will sign a waiver agreement.

This agreement did not exist at first, but because countless "geniuses" were overwhelmed and became injured or died here, the training camp drafted this agreement.

After Yuan Ze signed, he threw a large amount of source crystals here. According to Astra's estimate last year, the efficiency of converting source crystals into soft types in this layer is around 80%, which can quickly increase his source power.

As the source crystals were put into the room, dozens of pillars on the side of the room began to slowly absorb the converted source power.

Immediately afterwards, the gravitational field of the entire space suddenly increased, and Yuanze was instantly pressed against the ground, unable to move.

Under the influence of super strong gravity, Yuanze's practice began.

His whole body was pressed against the ground, as if he was being held down by an invisible hand. Every inch of his skin and every bone was bearing unimaginable pressure.

The tiny crystals on the battle suit seemed to be infused with life, and the speed at which the source force flowed in them continued to accelerate. They tightly surrounded Yuanze's body surface, forming a tough protective shield, doing its best to resist the terrifying gravity that almost distorted the space.

Yuan Ze's breathing became extremely difficult, and every breath he took was like fighting against the whole world. Under this heavy pressure, he tried hard to adjust his state with the breathing rhythm in boxing.

At the same time, he released his "second self" of another nervous system, hoping that in this extreme environment, nerve cells could also give birth to source nuclei.

As revealed by the theory of relativity, under the influence of this strong gravitational force, the brain's electromagnetic wave transmission does undergo some subtle changes.

Astra keenly monitored that the speed of information transmission between nerves was slightly slowed down, and the frequency and wavelength of these electromagnetic waves also produced slight fluctuations.
