The most crucial part was that although he could sense others’ innermost thoughts, he couldn’t detect what Shen Xia was truly thinking deep inside.
This surprised him greatly, and he instantly teleported to the control room.
Lu Li looked at Shen Xia, who was sitting by the window with her chin resting on her hand, and softly called, "Shen Xia?"
"Huh?" Shen Xia seemed startled awake, turning her head to look over, "Oh, when did you come back?"
Lu Li walked up and sat on the chair beside her, "This afternoon. What were you thinking about?"
Shen Xia said, "Nothing really, just daydreaming."
Lu Li: "..."
He was dizzy.
No wonder he couldn’t sense Shen Xia’s thoughts just now.
Turns out she was spacing out with an empty mind, sitting here in a daze?
This left him speechless, feeling like he’d wasted his time coming here.
But since he was already here, Lu Li decided to chat with Shen Xia for a bit before going to construct the "perpetual motion machine."
He leaned back in his chair and asked, "How’s the research going lately?"
On this topic, Shen Xia’s eyes brightened with excitement, "The spatial jump technology you gave me last time was incredible. After studying it for so many days, I’ve finally understood a little. I believe that given enough time, I can write a stunning paper, and if the experiment succeeds, it might even advance Earth’s fundamental physics."
Lu Li smiled, "You ate the peaches I gave you, so you have a long life. There’s plenty of time to research, no rush, take your time to reflect. Moreover, didn’t the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance provide a lot of high-tech technologies to our Earth? You can also take the opportunity to check them out. I believe you have the potential to become the next Newton or Einstein."
"I wouldn’t dare," Shen Xia quickly shook her head, "Newton and Einstein are the first and second in physics. How could I possibly catch up to them?"
Lu Li said meaningfully, "As long as you want to, you can achieve it. The biggest fear in this world is that you don’t dare to dream."
Shen Xia gazed into his clear eyes and was momentarily stunned, "Can I really achieve that?"
Lu Li confidently said, "Yes, you can do it, because the wisdom you possess is unmatched. What you lack is breaking this framework, and how to break this framework is already clearly written in the data I gave you and the literature from the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance. As long as you’re willing to study diligently, I’m sure you’ll succeed."
Shen Xia seemed encouraged, nodding vigorously, "Okay, I believe you. I can definitely surpass Newton and Einstein and become the greatest physicist in the history of Earth’s civilization!"
Listening to her resolute declaration, Lu Li couldn’t help but smile.
To this day, besides family and girlfriend, perhaps only Shen Xia remains the same in her attitude toward him.
She hasn’t changed in the slightest despite his enormous power and change in status.
Lu Li liked interacting with Shen Xia this way.
Or rather, he was feeling "lonely at the top" and craved such a confidant, rather than people who acted overly respectful towards him.
Maybe it’s more comfortable being with Shen Xia.
Lu Li lingered a while longer in the control room.
He and Shen Xia chatted about everything under the stars, from Earth to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, introducing her to some cosmic phenomena invisible from Earth, eliciting constant inquiries and exclamations from her.
...
Around midnight.
Lu Li left the control room and went to the quiet room.
He sat in a high-tech chair and slowly closed his eyes.
"It’s time to construct the ’perpetual motion machine’ within my body and let my power grow incessantly."
Lu Li had previously constructed an "Energy Ball Star Cluster" power source inside him, so he was well versed in how to construct a suitable "perpetual motion machine."
First, a "giant gravitational source" needs to be constructed within the body.
Once the "giant gravitational source" is established, energy "stars" and "planets" can be built around it.
"First, create two colossal ’energy black holes,’ just like the two supermassive black holes at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy."
After Lu Li completed his seventh deep evolution, he observed the overall structure of the Milky Way and knew there was a "giant gravitational source" at its center.
The creation of this "giant gravitational source" wasn’t just due to one enormous black hole at the center of the Milky Way; it was actually two.
That’s right, the center of the Milky Way has two supermassive black holes.
One is the well-known "Sagittarius A*" supermassive black hole.
This black hole has a frightening 4.4 million times the mass of the Sun.
The other supermassive black hole has not yet been observed by Earth’s astrophysicists.
Lu Li has named this supermassive black hole "Land God."
The "Land God" supermassive black hole’s mass is similar to "Sagittarius A*," though it might vary slightly.
These two supermassive black holes structurally resemble the yin-yang fish of a Taiji symbol.
Because these two massive black holes attract each other and are in constant celestial motion, they generate this "giant gravitational source," binding thousands of celestial bodies and forming the Milky Way.
In fact, the "Sagittarius A*" alone, or the "Land God" alone, couldn’t possibly bind the Milky Way’s four hundred billion stars.
The combined gravitational pull of "Sagittarius A*" and "Land God" exceeds the sum of their individual forces.
After observing this fascinating cosmic structure, Lu Li immediately thought of constructing a "galaxy" within himself.
While the "Energy Ball Star Cluster" was good, increasing two to three thousand stars worth of power daily was only impressive in the past.
Now, with Lu Li’s strength skyrocketing to fifteen million stars worth of power, if the daily increase is only two to three thousand stars, when will he amass the sixty-five trillion stars needed to complete the divine body?
Thus, he planned a different approach—to construct an "energy galaxy."
"Currently, with fifteen million stars worth of power, constructing an ’energy galaxy’ is still quite challenging."
While simulating how to build it, Lu Li thought, "I definitely can’t temporarily ’replicate’ the massive structure of the Milky Way within myself; after all, there are several hundred billion stars. I can at most use the Milky Way as a framework and first construct an ’energy dwarf galaxy’ inside me."
Honestly, even constructing an "energy dwarf galaxy" within himself was a stretch.
Typically, a dwarf galaxy comprises between one hundred million and tens of billions of stars.
For example, the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Among dwarf galaxies, it is considered relatively small.
It’s only seven thousand light-years across, containing just a few billion stars.
Lu Li’s energy amounts to fifteen million stars worth of power.
Based on previous experience constructing "energy black holes" and "Energy Ball Star Clusters," one star’s worth of power can, at most, construct one "energy star."
Therefore, the "energy dwarf galaxy" he was about to construct might be relatively "weak," comprising perhaps only fifteen million "energy stars."
Although initially "weak," once constructed, it could reach the dwarf galaxy standard within a few days.
For instance, by constructing a rudimentary "energy dwarf galaxy" with fifteen million stars’ worth of power,
the daily energy growth limit would be at least fifteen million stars’ worth of power.
In just five or six days, it could reach over a hundred million stars’ worth of power!
"One hundred million stars’ worth of power sounds like a lot, but it’s still far from the sixty-five trillion stars needed to fill a divine body."
Lu Li knew this couldn’t be rushed; he needed to steadily grow stronger rather than anxiously thinking about reaching sixty-five trillion stars immediately—that’s impossible.
"Alright, start by constructing a rudimentary ’energy dwarf galaxy’ inside and see the results."
Lu Li took a deep breath, ready to strengthen his abilities in the next two to three days.
By then, he would let every race in the Virgo Supercluster witness what absolute power is like.
If he succeeds in constructing an "energy dwarf galaxy" tonight and develops it over two days, his power limit could reach a terrifying forty-five million stars.
With such tremendous power, annihilating the entire Small Magellanic Cloud would take mere seconds!
