Chapter 244 - The Principle of Shrinking the Earth To An Inch (1/2)

The organizations in the game were usually known as unions, sects, clubs, and battle teams among the players. Their purpose was to build an organization and implement the saying ‘strength in numbers’. At the same time, they could also use the power of the organization to train newbies or use their members to collect intelligence and begin building. Most importantly, they could launch a large-scale attack on their enemy.
“Unity is strength. This strength is like iron. This power is like steel.”
System Number Two started singing again. He had become Zhou Song’s new partner. There was nothing it did not know. As a senior, it had to guide Zhou Song.
System Number Two seemed very happy. “It’s great to have a strong background! Given Brother Huo’s current strength, he can sweep away all the Legendary creatures created by the system. It’s useless even if they are at the peak of the Legendary stage. They’ll just be a punching bag. With this confidence, we can finally work hard!”
It was easy for Zhou Song to get along with others. He was already familiar with System Number Two. He thus said, “You said that Brother Huo is planning to build a body for you. Have you thought about what kind of body you want?”
System Number Two had experienced two consecutive low temperatures and stagnation. Its soul strength had reached the Rare rank. Given Wei Huo’s current strength, he could switch to a human body.
Wei Huo could now control the Heaven and Earth Essence Energy. In addition to his strong willpower, his ability to control molecules had also improved. He could totally create a human body.
System Number Two said, “I have to consider this seriously. One can’t be rash. After all, this is a new body. Which gender do you think I should choose?”
Zhou Song’s eyes widened. “You’re not a man?”
System Number Two said, “This is like asking a computer about its gender. What are spiritual bodies?”
The two of them followed Wei Huo. In the blink of an eye, Wei Huo arrived at the city closest to Mount Emei.
Although this distance was the shortest, it would usually take a few years for Wei Huo to reach the Rare rank. However, it only took him a few seconds.
This was the understanding and utilization of the Dao. To put it in simpler terms, this was actually a method of folding space.
There were hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of light-years between the star systems in the universe. Even if a spacecraft could fly at the speed of light, it would not be able to reach another star system even in death. Scientists had come up with the idea of flying at beyond light speed.
Since one can’t speed up, in order to reduce the time needed to travel, one can only shorten the journey. Yes, according to the formula I learned in primary school, speed multiplied by time equals the journey. If the speed doesn’t change and the journey is shortened, we can reduce the time needed.
The elementary school teacher always told us that the journey was a constant, fixed value. However, in reality, the journey can be changed. What should we do? Fold the space!
If the space is folded, the journey will be shortened. Even if we moved forward at a distance of one meter per second, we could still cross several light-years in a very short time. The Old Ancestor used a term to describe this technique—Length Contraction.
How should one fold space? Countless scientists had discovered that gravitational force could influence space. For example, if a famous scientist discovered that light would turn from a straight line to a curved line when it passed through a strong gravitational unit, it would not be a light bend, but space being affected by gravity.
