Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 219: The Domain of the Source Beast

"I also watched the video. I really didn't expect that you could actually beat a source beast with a territory." Ruiming closed the book and looked up at Yuanze.

"I am also very curious why it is so difficult for source beasts to expand their own domains."

With the help of this battle, Yuanze successfully entered the ranks of the top level.

Although Astra had repeatedly demonstrated the construction of domain space, he still couldn't get the point.

He felt that it was difficult for source beasts to build their own territory, and perhaps he could find some breakthroughs in this regard.

"I really like your inquiring spirit. Please sit down and I will talk to you."

Among the source beasts that Ruiming knew could expand their domains, most of them found their true source power characteristics by chance and were thus correctly constructed.

Because source beasts are born with the ability of genetic lock, many source beasts will be trapped by their innate genetic lock ability even if they have wisdom, and cannot find the true source power characteristics.

For example, a source beast with a gene lock that enhances light ability can use its ability naturally, but it does not know the principles behind it, and will make wrong judgments over time.

It is possible that this is just the effect of this ability, and the characteristic of the source force is to change the structure of space in order to strengthen the light.

This meant that if he continued to use the idea of ​​strengthening light to construct the field, he would not be able to succeed.

"Oh. So I have to find out the essence of my own abilities before I can build a domain!"

"That's generally the case, because humans generally have gene locks at the extraordinary level, and at this time they have already discovered their true source of power. Even if there are slight deviations, they will have an accurate understanding after mastering the ability."

"Then if we, the source beasts, are born with a genetic lock and cannot accurately determine the characteristics of our own source power, is there any method that can allow me to accurately grasp it?"

Yuan Ze's situation is very similar to that of Yuan Beast. He is born with the genetic lock ability "Flow".

Whenever I want to study my own source power, it seems like a source power without any characteristics.

Ruiming paused, looked away, frowned, and thought about something. Then, he walked to the bookshelf behind him, searching up and down for suitable information.

"Take a look at this. I remember seeing some research done by scholars who specialize in this area."

There is a lot of content written above. It first outlines the innate differences between humans and source beasts, and then conducts some control group experiments based on these differences.

At the end of these experiments, they all pointed to the same conclusion:
“There is almost no difference between humans and source beasts, except that humans are born with more complex brains, which can process a lot of information, so young humans cannot afford the consumption of gene locks.

The gene lock will not be awakened until these source warriors grow to a certain stage and the source power reserves in their bodies reach a certain level.

Then, because they are very familiar with the characteristics of the source force, they are more adept at constructing the domain.

But this is not absolute, it depends more on the degree of understanding of the source of power."

Yuan Ze shook his head. He was a special case like himself, and even the information of the source beast was not recorded. It was difficult for him to delve into what his true ability was.

"Don't worry, most source beasts can be constructed after reaching the Scout level. It's only a matter of time before your talent breaks through the Scout level, so don't worry too much."

"Hmm. It seems like being born with a genetic lock isn't a good thing."

"Yes, the source beasts were not very intelligent at first. They just used their abilities and biological characteristics mechanically and had almost no understanding of the source power. We often say that this is a curse of talent."

"What about those seniors? How did they learn their fields?"

"Tell me about myself. After reaching the scout level, I discovered that my ability is to create trace amounts of antimatter, not to create explosions as I thought before..."

Yuanze and Ruiming chatted for a few more sentences and found that Ruiming didn't particularly understand what was happening in the field.

"Go ask Zhenyuanhu. He should have broken the earliest record of the source beast's field expansion. The previous records were at least Nirvana level."

"He told me that he learned about gravitational waves from a book, and during the battle he noticed that those tiny gravitational waves were distorting space."

"You are right. This is a process that requires one to explore on one's own. We are also systematically studying common methods."

Ruiming thought for a while, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and started writing on it quickly.

"Maybe we don't have enough knowledge. Humans also have a very complete teaching system. Well, let me give you a letter of recommendation from a scholar, and you go find him."

Yuanze took the recommendation letter and looked at it carefully. The handwriting was neat and powerful, and it was obvious that Ruiming wrote it with great care.

There is an ancient badge printed on the envelope, symbolizing Ruiming's identity.

Ruiming looked at Yuanze with encouragement in his eyes:

"Rui Sheng has extensive research in domain construction. He has successfully coached Yuanshou in domain construction. I hope you can find the answers you need from him."

"Thank you very much."

"It should."

After leaving Ruiming's residence, Yuanze went to the scholar's place while thinking about the conversation just now.

On the way, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he fought with the source beast.

At that moment, he seemed to feel a special force, something that he had not noticed but existed in reality, pulling him.

Walking on the cobblestone streets of the city, Yuanze felt the atmosphere around him become serious.

He looked up and saw an ancient academic institute standing in front of him.

Pushing open the heavy door, Yuanze walked into the research institute.

The hustle and bustle of the city gradually faded away, shielded by an invisible force.

He was greeted by an elderly Source Beast scholar wearing a simple grey robe, with greying hair and sharp eyes.

He took the letter of recommendation from Yuanze, read it carefully, then looked up at Yuanze.

"Rui Ming said you wanted to understand the characteristics of your own power, right?"

"Yes, I hope to build my own domain, but I can never fully grasp the characteristics of my own source power." Yuan Ze answered frankly.

Ruisheng nodded and motioned Yuanze to follow him. The two walked through a long corridor of the institute and came to a huge laboratory.

Various complex instruments and equipment are displayed here, the walls are covered with various drawings and research materials, and the air is filled with a unique academic atmosphere.

"Let's do an experiment."

Ruisheng said, adjusting an extremely sophisticated-looking instrument.

"This device can detect the fluctuations of your source power. I will find out the characteristics of your source power from the data."

Yuanze stood in front of the instrument, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate, gathering his source power together.

In an instant, an invisible energy began to flow around him, like an invisible river, flowing slowly.

The instrument's pointer began to rotate in the opposite direction, and a series of complex images and data appeared on the display screen.

Ruisheng observed these changes carefully, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Very strange," he murmured, "Your source power has reversed, in a way that is beyond our current understanding. This kind of fluctuation... is difficult to explain with existing theories."

Ruisheng thought for a moment, then said slowly:
"I guess your ability may not just be a single source of power. The 'Flow' ability is more like a complex ability that can trigger different effects under certain conditions."

"Yes, just like my race, the Shapeshifter, can change its appearance, I can even change the characteristics of my own power."

"I haven't heard of it. Even among humans, I have never seen such a characteristic that does not have any characteristics but can be transformed into any characteristics."

"So is there a difference between the source power of humans and the source power of beasts?"

Yuanze thought of this strange question.

"Same, so we actually think that humans are also a special kind of source beast, but they just don't want to admit it."
