Chapter 1320 - 367: Nanoforge 4

After confirming that the planets and satellites within the star system had no issues.

Chen Ming locked his gaze on the celestial body corresponding to the position of the habitable planet, on the wormhole within the star system.

This must be the reason why the Shimmering Civilization wanted to develop this area, because from the records of the Scavenger.

This wormhole has been present here for at least thirty thousand years.

Under Chen Ming’s control, the Supreme Point gradually approached the location of the wormhole.

He went to investigate what exactly this wormhole was about.

Several large devices were hanging on the Supreme Point under the influence of his Spiritual Energy, gradually activating under his control and targeting the wormhole within the star system.

Half a year ago, after acquiring the Star Gate, Chen Ming took advantage of his study of Main Ship technology to also learn a lot about the Star Gate, Singularity, and wormhole-related knowledge.

Although not completely mastering it, he at least learned the basics, knew how to use some equipment, and knew how to investigate a wormhole.

During that period, besides conducting preliminary investigation and analysis of the Scavenger, Chen Ming was also using the time to dispatch devices from the Empire.

Ever since Chen Ming started researching the Main Ship, the Empire no longer cared about how much he was controlling, nor how much equipment was essentially his.

But Chen Ming was attentive to cultivation and character.

Even if he controlled things that weren’t his, it was just for convenience, and he would never seize them. He even helped with maintenance of the equipment.

Therefore, when dispatching devices, Chen Ming needed to consider if others were using them.

He couldn’t just take the equipment without notifying anyone.

The time he spent dealing with the Scavenger was also used to let others complete their current experiments quickly, allowing him to move the equipment away.

The devices soon started operating smoothly, returning various readings about the wormhole to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming was most concerned about two key attributes.

Coordinates and stability.

Coordinates have nothing much to be said.

A natural wormhole appears as a pair in the universe, there must be another wormhole somewhere unknown connecting with it.

The nature of the other end of the wormhole determines the value of this wormhole.

Stability determines whether the wormhole remains stable in space and can exist for a long time.

Factors such as the volume and mass of objects that can pass through, and whether unexpected accidents might occur when extracting the Singularity, among various factors.

It is a comprehensive indicator of multiple data points.

However, Chen Ming found that during detection, the devices failed to analyze the coordinates of the wormhole connected to its counterpart.

This too is considered normal.

Even during the pioneering era, the Empire could not confirm what was on the other side of every wormhole solely through scanning.

To understand what’s beyond the wormhole, it’s more about entering the wormhole directly, reaching the other side to determine.

Although troublesome and dangerous, it is an absolutely stable way to ascertain what lies on the other side of the wormhole.

Fortunately, there’s good news for now.

That is, upon checking, Chen Ming found this wormhole, which has existed for at least thirty thousand years, is unexpectedly stable.

Or rather, thirty thousand years is insignificant on a cosmic scale.

Such a stable wormhole could allow larger mass objects to pass through, meaning the exploration beyond the wormhole would be easier.

High stability also means it won’t collapse arbitrarily, as a collapsing wormhole could potentially lead to the destruction of the entire star system.

Moreover, a stable wormhole allows Chen Ming to conveniently install a special fixed lock device on it.

It’s a technology that the Empire developed long ago and has continuously updated.

Its function is to unilaterally block the process from the other end of the wormhole to this end.

Chen Ming hasn’t investigated what exactly happened to cause the Empire to create this device, but it’s certainly not due to good things.

So Chen Ming needs to quickly install this fixed lock device on the wormhole.
