My Divine Diary
chapter-499

Various fantasy technologies combined with spiritual power and electricity to form ‘electronic spirit technology’ have been realized, and various technologies in this world have also reached a high level.

However, the development speed of electronic spirit technology in recent years has almost stagnated, like a car stuck in mud, no matter how the wheels turn, they just stay in place.

Su Hao was helpless about this, and he already understood that the potential accumulated in this world before has almost been exhausted, and to achieve another technological breakthrough, it would take at least hundreds of years of accumulation.

However, Su Hao’s research had a breakthrough at this moment.

He found a method for long-distance space jumps of spaceships and successfully implemented long-distance jumps for small spacecraft.

The principle is not complicated: man-machine integration, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

The factor restricting Su Hao himself from performing coordinate positioning teleportation is his radar’s insufficient perception range.

And the factor restricting spaceships from performing ultra-long-distance teleportation is that spaceships lack spiritual power and cannot deploy ‘negative space modules’.

So as long as the two are combined, the spaceship’s detection range becomes Su Hao’s radar, and he becomes the computational core for the spaceship to deploy space modules, they can complement each other’s shortcomings, leverage advantages, and complete positioning teleportation.

Now two new problems have emerged.

Firstly, the spaceship Su Hao chose, the ‘Leap’, is too large in size. It is feasible to complete the teleportation, but the energy and spiritual power required are beyond imagination.

According to estimates, when the entire ‘Leap’ is fully charged and ready for teleportation, the energy consumed accounts for one-tenth of the total. This means that teleportation cannot be easily initiated, and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Secondly, even though signals propagate at nearly the speed of light, they are still too slow on the cosmic scale, leading to extremely long preparation times for teleportation.

For example, if Su Hao wants to teleport the spaceship to a location ten light-years away, after calculating the position and initiating the deployment of space modules, it would take at least ten years for the space module to reach the designated location following the spiritual signal at nearly the speed of light before teleportation can be initiated…

Not only is there delay in positioning teleportation, but there will also be delays in signal transmission during the teleportation process.

To this, Su Hao could only say, it’s better than nothing.

As long as the signal problem is not solved, the imagined arbitrary teleportation within the cosmic space cannot be realized!

…

Just as Su Hao was preparing to conduct experiments and teleportation tests, Yashan found Su Hao: “Boss Wei, there may be some bad news that needs to be confirmed with you.”

Su Hao asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yashan said, “Since the last incident of the Little Star Expedition, the Astronomical Center has initiated a plan to observe surrounding celestial bodies for anomalies in real-time. Every year, they conduct orbital calculations for observable celestial bodies to be prepared for any emergencies.

In recent years, there have been significant changes in the gravitational field around our star domain, with planets constantly changing their orbits, causing some disorder.

Just now, I received news that a giant asteroid seventy billion kilometers away from the Cultivation Star has also been affected by the disorder, deviating from its original orbit and starting to move inward, and its final orbit cannot be calculated at the moment.

However, this asteroid is the most threatening to our Cultivation Star, attracting the attention of the Astronomical Center, so it has been reported.”

Su Hao remained silent for a moment, then said, “I understand. If this giant asteroid is heading straight towards us, can we deflect it with a bomb?”

Yashan shook his head and said, “No, first of all, the distance is too far. Currently, our technology simply cannot reach it. By the time we can reach it, the energy required to deflect the giant asteroid exceeds the limit of what we can convert.

According to the data provided by the Astronomical Center, the asteroid is moving extremely fast, continuously spiraling inward around the star. In approximately one hundred and fifty years, it will enter the orbit of the Cultivation Star but it cannot be determined whether it poses a threat to the Cultivation Star.”

Su Hao thought to himself, “No need to confirm. It will definitely pose a threat to the Cultivation Star. One hundred and fifty years, roughly the same as I expected, it seems that we can’t avoid it this time.”

If Su Hao had the power to destroy the asteroid, dealing with this situation would be much simpler. He could directly teleport there, destroy it, and return without alerting anyone else.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have that kind of power.

Su Hao asked, “How’s the construction progress of our Leap spaceship?”

Yashan replied, “The first phase of star body transformation is nearing completion. It is estimated that it will enter the second phase in ten years, with the comprehensive construction of the energy conversion system expected to be completed in sixty years…”

Su Hao silently calculated for a moment. With one hundred and fifty years’ time, they could just about finish building the spaceship. He then said, “Until the Astronomical Center comes to a definite conclusion, keep this matter confidential. Just tell them to accelerate the construction of the Leap.

At the same time, focus on producing deflection bombs for future use, the more, the better.”

After a pause, he added, “I do have a way to reach the giant asteroid. Although the data suggests that the possibility of deflection is small, we still have to try. First, we’ll manufacture as many ‘Ten Thousand Blast’ bombs as possible. After the charging is complete, I’ll personally deliver them to the asteroid, detonate them, collect data, and then calculate.”

The crisis would arrive around three hundred years into his existence, but Su Hao miscalculated one thing, which was that in fact, this crisis had been initiated before its discovery, or rather, the crisis had never been far away, constantly looming, just with a large span of time.

Su Hao thought for a moment and said, “Yashan, immediately send a message to the engineering team to build a long-term habitable research base on the Leap as soon as possible, and then you and I will move in.”

He wanted to make sure whether this giant asteroid was targeting the Cultivation Star or him. He didn’t know if it was still possible to move at this moment.

In any case, it was worth a try.

Twenty years later, Su Hao and Yashan officially moved into the asteroid.

At this time, someone actually suspected that Su Hao and Yashan were trying to escape and expressed a desire to live on the asteroid as well…

This news spread quickly and gained the approval of many people.

Yashan didn’t say much and buried those who raised doubts and those who spread this idea.

At this time, rumors must not be allowed to spread, as the worst thing is the lack of unity among people.

…

Thirty years later, the orbit of the giant asteroid stabilized, and the result calculated by the Astronomical Center was: the giant asteroid would collide directly with the Cultivation Star, landing at Lingsha Continent.

At this point, Su Hao had confirmed that this crisis was now targeting the Cultivation Star and could no longer be changed.

Perhaps it would be the next time before his position was locked in.

Ten years later, as the Cultivation Star (planet) and the giant asteroid approached each other, Su Hao utilized the ‘man-machine integration’ to teleport himself near the giant asteroid. He then continuously flashed multiple times, ultimately successfully landing on the giant asteroid and summoning the highest-energy bombs that current technology could make, burying a total of one hundred of them.

After leaving behind a positioning stone, he teleported back to the Cultivation Star.

One hundred bombs were detonated simultaneously, then orbital data was collected, and deviation values were calculated.

The conclusion was drawn that as long as continuous guidance was provided for deviation, there was a chance to escape the danger.

Subsequently, bomb after bomb filled with energy was sent to the giant asteroid, continuously detonated in an attempt to deviate it. As time passed, the deviation angle grew larger and larger.

After sixty years of effort, success was finally achieved, and there was rejoicing all around.

Twenty years later, the observatory once again reported news. For some unknown reason, the giant asteroid, which had previously deviated from its orbit, was affected by some mysterious gravity and returned to its original trajectory.

In other words, all the efforts of nearly eighty years were in vain, back to square one.

Some people even thought, if they had known this earlier, it would have been better to do nothing, as the giant asteroid would have deviated from its orbit automatically by now.

A staff member of the Astronomical Center reported with a frown, “It’s too late to send bombs to the asteroid at this point.”

Another person nodded in agreement, “Exactly, when the speed was not this fast before, our deviation plan took a full sixty years. Now, with the faster speed, we have less than twenty years left.”

“The most crucial point is that the total energy we have converted is not enough to deviate a celestial body of such enormous mass in its trajectory.”

But some held a different opinion, “Are we just going to wait for mutual destruction? Regardless of whether it will work or not, we must try our best.”

“That’s right, didn’t we defeat a small asteroid two hundred years ago? Now it has become our Leap spaceship!”

“Being a thousand times larger, so what? As long as we invest a hundred thousand times the energy…”

“Ridiculous. Then may I ask, where will the hundred thousand times the energy come from?”

…

In the face of such natural disasters, everyone felt their insignificance.

Including Su Hao.

Even as powerful as he was, he was powerless against this.

Blood energy? Runes? Genes? Space? Spiritual power? None of these worked.

Even the current technology didn’t have the means to destroy this giant asteroid.

Not to mention destruction, they couldn’t even deviate its trajectory.

These abilities that once made Su Hao proud were only impressive when compared to humans!

Once placed in the context of the environment, he couldn’t even handle a nearly smallest ‘asteroid’ in the universe.

Su Hao quickly put away that sense of helplessness and instead issued orders to everyone: “Before the life-threatening crisis, everyone should give their all to fight against the natural disaster.

First, the Leap spaceship will cease all construction except for the ‘coordinate positioning teleportation’ function, and focus on building that.

Second, the majority of the world’s energy output will be used to make bombs and deliver them, even if it means everyone regressing to primitive times, nothing is too much to sacrifice.

Third, all the spiritual power cultivated by cultivators worldwide will be contributed for the next twenty years to make bombs.

Fourth, build large-scale shelters on the other side to deviate the impact…”
