Chapter 742: Defense Plan

After hearing the Balancer's speech, Li Yang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile:

"Heh... I hope our efforts will bear fruit in the end."

[Origin] seemed to be aware of Li Yang's mood swings, and said softly:

"It doesn't matter. Don't be too stressed. We have at least found a possible direction now."

"Next, we need to choose a suitable sample universe to conduct the experiment."

Li Yang nodded and made a simple addition: "Ah...then, should we find a safe experimental site first?"

"After all, we cannot risk conducting experiments in the existing universe, lest it lead to irreparable consequences if something goes wrong."

"So...we need a relatively closed, controlled environment."

[Origin] thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "In that case..."

"Then let's create an independent world."

"This way even if the experiment fails, it will not affect other universes."

The equalizer next to him nodded slightly and didn't say much.

"Then let's start preparations." Li Yang said slowly, "Do you need my help to get the things needed for the experiment?"

[Origin] heard this and nodded slightly:

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it all."

"What we need is energy that can resist [void] and some basic material particles corresponding to its universe."

"I can pull some from the existing universe, but not so much that it attracts attention."

The Balancer nodded slightly:

"In this case, I can help cover up your actions and reduce the risk of being discovered by [The Void]."

With that said, he had already started taking action.

...

After a while, [Origin] was ready for everything.

He created a universe with nothing but its basic structure.

Then, through the materials he collected from various places, he tried to piece together a method that could be used to resist the "void" in this universe.

Standing in the boundless space, [Origin] took a deep breath and said:

"Then...please bear witness."

"I'm going to start."

After saying that, he stretched out his hands and began to condense the collected fragments of the universe.

Under his control, the energy gradually formed a small ball of light.

Li Yang and the Balancer both fell silent and stared at the miniature universe being born in front of them.

Over time, the ball of light began to expand, and complex structures appeared inside.

Stars, planets...and finally galaxies, nebulae...

Everything is slowly taking shape in this miniature universe.

Li Yang stood there and murmured: "Is this how you usually create the universe?"

[Origin] nodded:

"Well... this one right now, although it is small in scale, the basic structure is the same as the real universe."

"After the basic framework is completed, we can start trying to integrate different universe characteristics."

The Equalizer cautions: "Proceed with caution, we don't yet know what the consequences of this fusion will be."

[Origin] thought for a moment and said: "I understand that we don't understand the composition of [Void] at the moment, so everything needs to be tried."

"I will first try to incorporate some of the characteristics that we have observed before that are resistant to [The Void]."

"Then you can gradually add different elements and see what happens."

Li Yang and the two people next to him did not interrupt, but just let [Yuan Yuan] think.

Then, [Origin] finally took action and began to carefully inject some special energy into the micro-universe.

At first, nothing seems to change significantly.

But over time, they began to notice subtle differences.

Certain areas in the micro-universe began to glow with a strange light, as if resisting some invisible force.

This scene was very similar to the special areas they had observed before.

Although the resistance relationship with [Void] cannot be proven yet, these ingredients are enough to show that there is no problem with their operation.

[Origin] nodded and confirmed: "At present, it seems that these areas have formed a special energy field that can offset external erosion to a certain extent..."

The Equalizer observed this process carefully and suddenly said, "I noticed something interesting."

"These particular areas seem to be constantly expanding, like... the space around the infection."

Both Li Yang and [Origin] were attracted by this discovery.

[Origin] analyzed the data carefully and said in surprise: "You are right! This characteristic seems to have some kind of spread..."

"Maybe this is the breakthrough we've been looking for!"

Li Yang held his chin and murmured: "If we can control this spread, can the entire universe be equipped with the ability to resist [The Void]?"

Although the Equalizer also seemed very excited, he still remained cautious:

"This is indeed an exciting finding, but we need to conduct more experiments to confirm..."

"Also, we have to be careful not to let this trait get out of hand."

[Origin] agrees:

"Yes, we need to find a balance point... to make this property effective against [the void], but without causing damage to the universe itself."

Li Yang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Oh, yes, I have an idea."

"We know that [Void] seems to have some kind of intelligence, able to adapt and change strategies."

"Then, should we also make this resistance characteristic have a certain degree of adaptability?"

[Origin] and Balancer were slightly stunned, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

After a moment, [Origin] raised his head slightly and replied:

"It's a very creative idea... If we can create a resistance characteristic that is smart enough, it can adjust itself according to the changes of [Void]."

The Balancer added: "In this way, even if [Void] changes its invasion method, our defense system can respond in time."

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

"But the question now is, how can we achieve this?"

[Origin] thought for a while and said: "Evolution."

Facing the puzzled eyes of Li Yang and the others, [Origin] slowly said:

"Similar to the evolution of life."

"We can use certain means to enable this resistance characteristic to learn and evolve autonomously, just like organisms will undergo adaptive evolution when facing environmental changes."

The Balancer nodded and agreed: "It is indeed an interesting direction, but it may not be easy to achieve."

Li Yang suddenly lifted his chin and said nothing.

This idea always reminded him of something not so good.
