Technological advancement begins with devouring.

"Most of your ideas are nothing new. They are indeed advanced by Earth's technological standards, but in the universe, they don't even qualify as beginner level."

After visiting Jiang Chen's base, Babata made a scathing critique, harshly criticizing all the technologies Jiang Chen had presented.

Changing the subject, Babata added, "However, this 'alchemy rune' technique is quite interesting. It's very similar to the mainstream rune techniques in the universe, but not the same. Unfortunately, I don't know much about technology, so I can't give you any advice."

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then asked, "You've lived for millions of years. Even if you haven't studied this area, you must have collected some information, right? Could you...?"

Jiang Chen was very interested in the advanced technologies in the universe of "Swallowed Star".

If Jiang Chen could obtain some technical information from Babata, even if it wasn't particularly advanced in the universe, it could be of great help.

"I don't have much information here, mostly on spaceships and AI. I haven't paid much attention to the others. Even with spaceships, I can only build E-class spaceships at most. Back then, after the owner collected the materials for the Meteorite Star, he also asked a large company in the universe that specializes in building spaceships to complete it."

Babata shook his head, but didn't refuse Jiang Chen's request. He said directly, "I'll give you a copy of the information I have. However, in the universe, strength is the most important thing. You can study these things as a hobby, but don't let them interfere with your cultivation."

Perhaps due to his experiences, or perhaps because this is the prevailing view in the world, Babata's ideas are somewhat 'traditional,' believing that studying secret techniques and laws to enhance one's own strength is the only true path to power.

As for technology, that's something only people with little talent in cultivation would study.

As a strong person, all you need to do is improve your own strength. Those external things can be bought with money, so there's no need to waste your time on them.

Jiang Chen was too lazy to argue about these things and gave a perfunctory agreement.

After receiving the information sent by Babata, Jiang Chen didn't rush to study it. Instead, he had Jarvis organize and categorize the massive amount of data.

Although Babata has always claimed that he is 'not good at technology', as an intelligent life form that has followed immortal gods and lived for millions of years, even if he only randomly collects some data, the information contained in the database is extremely vast.

If Jiang Chen were to organize all this information on his own, it would take him countless years.

Moreover, many of them must be far beyond Jiang Chen's level of knowledge.

Even a simple, ordinary spaceship capable of traversing the dark universe for long-distance travel is beyond Jiang Chen's current capabilities.

Putting that matter aside, Jiang Chen looked at Babata and Luo Feng and said, "I know a place where there might be a perfectly intact spaceship, but it could be dangerous."

"Are you talking about that mechanical race spaceship?" Babata seemed to know something and said directly, "Don't even think about it now. With your strength, you'll be dead if you get close to that mechanical race spaceship."

"No, it's Ruins No. 12." Jiang Chen tapped on the auxiliary computer, projecting a virtual screen that displayed information about Ruins No. 12.

Ruins No. 12 are located on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean. They are super battleships, or more accurately, motherships.

Inside the mothership are numerous compartments, one of which is the location of Ruins No. 12, which is recognized as one of the three most dangerous places on Earth. No one who has gone in has ever come out alive.

“I’ve examined this site and suspect that what we call ruins is actually a well-preserved spaceship.” Jiang Chen looked at Babata and asked, “Babata, are you confident you can get your hands on it?”

That's not entirely a lie.

Jiang Chen did indeed send underwater reconnaissance equipment to explore 'Ruins No. 12', and even took a lot of footage.

Of course, Jiang Chen did this because he knew there was a well-preserved spaceship here that was relatively easy to obtain.

“Black Dragon Mountain X81?” Babata looked at the picture and recognized the origin of the spaceship at a glance. He couldn’t help but exclaim with delight, “There are still such treasures on Earth? Even a normal universe-level powerhouse would feel the pinch if he bought one of these spaceships! I never thought that there was such a ‘big shot’ among the fleet that my master casually destroyed back then.”

The term "big shot" is obviously a sarcastic reference.

To Babata, who follows an immortal god, a mere cosmic level being is nothing more than an ant.

However, the appearance of the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship in a place like Earth is indeed a very rare occurrence.

"Whether we can get our hands on it depends on the ship's defenses. However, these kinds of ships are usually used by powerful stellar-level or ordinary cosmic-level experts. The probability of them having enough money to equip themselves with powerful weapons is not high. We can give it a try." Babata quickly said, "Jiang Chen, don't you have a batch of robots with strong defenses? Take them with you, let's go and get our hands on this ship right now!"

"Is Ruins No. 12 one of the three most dangerous places? Isn't it too dangerous?" Luo Feng hesitated.

He guessed that Jiang Chen was eager to obtain the spaceship from Ruins No. 12 in order to deal with future disasters, but in Luo Feng's opinion, there were still a few months left, and there was no need to rush. Wouldn't it be better to wait until his strength improved and he had a greater chance of success?

“Once we arrive, I’ll scout the area. If the danger is too high, we’ll abandon the operation,” Babata said directly. “With this spaceship, I can also take you on a tour of the universe and broaden your horizons.”

"Entering the universe..." Jiang Chen's heart stirred.

In terms of resolving the crisis of the Golden Horned Beast, it might be a better option than relying on one's own strength to buy a few powerful slaves from space.

As for where the money to buy slaves will come from, at worst, Luo Feng can sell his telekinetic weapon.

Even if we can't afford cosmic-level slaves, buying a batch of stellar-level slaves to deal with the Golden Horned Beast shouldn't be a big problem.

However, Jiang Chen wasn't sure if there would be enough time.

According to the original description, when Babata was fighting for control of the 'Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship', he had to destroy some of the equipment inside the spaceship in order to prevent it from self-destructing, and the repairs alone took a long time.

If the damage cannot be repaired before the Golden Horned Beast is born, the safety of Earth will still depend on Jiang Chen and Luo Feng themselves.

Regardless, this spaceship showed Jiang Chen another possibility.
