Chapter 454, Virtual Mouse Life
The expansion of the empire has entered the fast lane, one planet after another, a larger territory, and in the unobstructed subspace channels, these have been realized.
It is a very wise thing to seek the vast physical universe that seems to be endless.
Plunder, this is always the fastest and most convenient way.
A feast for gluttons, everything can be obtained in this unscrupulous plunder and conquest.
Technology, resources, all kinds of novel pets, and habitable planets.
Of course, it is not always so smooth. The Ratman Empire also encountered some troubles during this expansion, but in the end, these troubles were solved.
The equally powerful cosmic empire, the rats have encountered powerful enemies more than once, but in the end, these powerful enemies were defeated by the rising rat empire.
Admittedly, several of the rats' victories relied on tricks, based on the abuse of soul screams. The rats have discovered another function of soul screams, which is also its shortcoming that cannot be ignored.
The use of soul screams will deepen the connection between the physical universe and the subspace in this area, weaken the connection between the two worlds, and at the same time, it can also disrupt the subspace in this area, making it completely disordered and chaotic.
When dealing with a cosmic empire covered with carapaces and extremely good at energy weapons and shield technology, the rats retreated step by step, and finally relied on the sand soul screams to completely disrupt the subspace order outside the rat empire, and imprisoned the cosmic empire with the extremely terrifying physical universe scale.
To put it simply, the rats cut off the network for these crab people in the subspace, and the subspace connected to the physical universe where the crab people exist was directly blasted into a local area network by the rats with soul screams.
These crab people were not defeated or erased from the physical universe, but how to say it, in that extremely rigorous physical universe, if the power of the subspace is not used, then they want to send a fleet to the outside world. When this fleet encounters the rat empire again, it may be thousands of years later.
Moreover, these crab people may not be able to crawl out of this extremely wide physical universe.
Just like that, a powerful race with unlimited potential, who walked out of the mother planet and created a cosmic empire, was locked up in a small dark room.
This way of exiting is really too aggrieved. In fact, during the expansion of the rat people, they encountered many cosmic empires that they could not defeat and were locked up in a small dark room. The crab people are not the first victims.
After all, they are indeed arrogant and can directly bomb the enemy with ether bombs. Yes, the soul scream can be strictly called an ether bomb.
But such abuse is not without problems. The most significant problem that needs to be considered is the rapid consumption of ether crystals. The genuine ether crystals are non-renewable energy. The Death Comet has been officially declared to be mined out, and the Soul Moon is also small and is about to leave the category of satellites.
After all, this gift will not be boundless and inexhaustible.
Perhaps the aimless expansion has stopped temporarily, as the Rat Empire has expanded too much during this period.
This year marks the 700th anniversary of the Rat People leaving their home planet.
They have occupied 120 star systems and nearly 200 colonized planets, and their territory has become unimaginably vast.
But it must be admitted that they are still too small for this universe. The territory currently occupied by the Rat People is only the edge of one of the four arms of the Milky Way, and they have only dyed the edge of this space arm composed of countless planets, celestial bodies, and cosmic dust with their own color.
The physical universe is really vast to an unimaginable degree.
Conquest and expansion are still continuing, and the Rat Empire is prosperous. With the increasing area they control and the continuous improvement of technology, the Rat Engineers have captured a terrifying scene in this golden age that has lasted for nearly 500 years.
They have warned the Rat Emperor sitting on the throne more than once.
In the center of the physical universe, there is chaos. An unspeakable disaster is evolving and will continue to expand. The rats currently have no possibility of resisting this disaster. If they are affected, according to the estimates of these rat engineers, the rats will be easily wiped out like a broken soap bubble.
We must respond, we must respond!
These rat engineers are shouting crazily, constantly emphasizing the horror of this disaster.
There is only one question. When you ask them when this disaster will affect the rats, they give the answer that it will be ten thousand years later………….
Okay, okay, this is such a critical number, and it is unimaginable.
The process of the rats going into space has only been more than seven hundred years. Ten thousand years is an unimaginable number for them.
How unimaginable this is.
About fourteen seven hundred years.
But it doesn't seem so unnecessary to be on guard, after all, it's only about fourteen seven hundred years.
The rat engineers have been constantly modifying and upgrading the transformation surgery in the past five hundred years. With the Dragon of Life as the original, this technology has changed a lot compared to the rough appearance at the beginning.
The most significant point is that the transformed object is no longer like a rat, but a brand new thing that has nothing to do with rats.
Powerful strength, fast speed, more than ten times the nerve reaction speed of ordinary rats, and of course, the most precious long life.
In short, this group of rat engineers, they used the Dragon of Life to tinker with a completely distorted and fully controllable distorter.
This complete controllability allows these modified rats to break the genetic restrictions on life.
Infinite life, immortality, this ability once again beckons to the rats, which is definitely the second most powerful achievement that the rat engineers have tinkered with in the past five hundred years.
The first most powerful thing is the birth of the rat prophet.
I just don't know if this immortality will bring curses to the rats.
With such an idea, immortality seems to be no longer a problem. For the rat engineers, they control the distortion of life. From another perspective, they also use this completely controllable distortion to completely freeze the length of life.
Using the controllable distortion, the data of the body is stored, and then the changed parts are restored at all times.
In this way of thinking, the rats took the lead in achieving immortality. All rats can fix their bodies to a certain moment and will not age any more until they die.
What a wonderful thing, but what annoys you is that they have achieved immortality but have not been able to achieve immortality.
Even if they have a body that is forever young, the rats will always die suddenly at a certain node, which makes people puzzled. In order to figure out why this is the case, the rat engineers began their own attempts.
The first direction proposed is the burning of the brain.
Just like fixing the state of the body, they also use controllable distortion to completely fix the state of the brain. Of course, this is not a particularly humane technology. The fixation of the brain and the refresh every once in a while will lead to a situation where the memory of the subject is completely fixed on the day of the refresh.
Every time it recovers, the memory will be lost, and the brain will return to a young state, which means being trapped on the same day forever.
This is a very scary prison, but it can indeed prolong the survival time.
In an unknown laboratory in the Rat Empire.
At this time, such an experiment is underway.
This is an observation experiment, and the guys in the base are all experimental subjects.
A group of rat engineers in white coats are observing and recording an experimental subject.
This is a young rat boy who has experienced nearly 200 refreshes.
Two hundred years ago, the moment he just walked out of the gate of the academy, he was brought to this laboratory. Two hundred years have passed, but his life has been forever frozen in time two hundred years ago.
Every year, the rat engineers would erase his memory and put him back into a new reincarnation.
In order to observe the emergence of variables, everything he experienced in the past two hundred years was not an empty repetition, but a completely different experience every year.
Sometimes he became a rat engineer, sometimes he joined the army, sometimes he was unsuccessful and muddle-headed, and sometimes he encountered happiness.
In this way, he was observed.
Year after year, until now.
This guy is the second longest experimental subject owned by the rat engineers in this observation experiment.
Two hundred years, this is almost three times longer than the natural lifespan of the rats. Perhaps they can really get eternal life through such a refresh.
This year, the life arranged for this No. 2 experimental subject is a self-made rat businessman.
In a year, under the arrangement of these rat engineers, he completed a series of processes from starting from scratch to becoming a rat businessman. In the observation room, he can be seen wearing a helmet, sitting on a cold chair and waving his arms.
Well, in order to save money, the rat engineers also began to use the virtual reality technology of the gerbils. After all, it is much easier to put a helmet on the experimental subject and match it with a host than to really build a real scene for him.
A large screen was installed on the wall of the cold laboratory. Behind this poor experimental subject wearing a helmet, the screen reflected the appearance of this poor egg, but he on the screen was not the poor guy sitting in the cold laboratory, but seemed to be a real rat businessman.
…………,
The top floor of the high-rise building with a wide field of vision can easily overlook the entire rat city from here. Not only that, if you raise your head slightly, you can also clearly observe the spaceport hanging high in the sky.
This is already a very good position, and the person who owns it is undoubtedly not an ordinary character.
In fact, this penthouse suite was just bought a month ago by a very arrogant ratman businessman. What is even more shocking is that this arrogant ratman businessman is still an extremely young guy.
At this time, the young ratman businessman was sitting in his suite, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and looking at everything he had in front of him comfortably.
Who could have thought that such a young ratman businessman who could make the city governor bow his head was just a young ratman boy who had just walked out of school a year ago.
He was still a very failed young ratman boy who seemed to have no future.
To be honest, a year ago, when he just walked out of school, he was very confused for a while. He had no family background, no background, and the college he attended was not strong. He had no talent for machinery and technology. He once thought about whether he should sign up for interstellar pioneering to conquer the unknown planet and gain a relatively decent life in a new world.
Who could have thought of it?
It was only a year, just like a dream, no, not even a year, there were still six days left to a full year, 306 days, and he had almost everything in these 300 days.
Wealth, power, a transport fleet of his own, status, and yes, a very beautiful lady of the rat people.
Picking up the wine glass in his hand, the beautiful tall lady of the rat people hurried over.
Respectful words rang out.
"Great Roland, tailor, rat people merchant, do you have any instructions?"
Roland, tailor, rat people merchant, Roland, tailor, this is the name he inherited, his father, his family, before him have always been the humble tailors, but starting from him, everything is different, the name of their family inheritance will start from him, with the title of rat people merchant.
And he only took 300 days to achieve this, and there are still six days left to a year.
Shaking the red wine glass in his hand, he said to the beautiful rat secretary with a bit of reproach.
"I told you, don't be so polite, you can call me Mr. Roland!"
"Okay! Mr. Roland!"
With this address, he drank the wine in his hand with satisfaction.
Everything is going so smoothly, there are still six days left before the year, and he did all this by himself.
The proud rat businessman thought so complacently.
"One year left..."
He couldn't help but repeat it again, and this time he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait? Why do I keep repeating this?"
