It was not difficult to open the Sealed Crystal; it had a mark on it, so he just had to trigger it, and then he would be able to open it. When Sebastian tapped this mark, he saw that the appearance of the Sealed Crystal started to change slowly and became empty, but it gradually formed something completely unknown.
Sebastian fixed his eyes on it and discovered it was a translucent bead. It was something like mercury flowing slowly inside it.
"Pearl of the Stars." Sebastian couldn't help but have his eyes light up. He was quite lucky.
The value of the Pearl of the Stars was even better than the 10x Multiplier Card; its greatest effect was that it could transform the local terrain and topography of a planet for a short duration. In addition, it would not disturb the planet's balance, and there would be no after-effects. In a sense, the Pearl of the Stars' value was almost comparable to the Heart of the Stars.
Of course, each pearl also had different sizes. The larger the size, the larger the area of the planet that could be transformed. The one Sebastian obtained was small in size; it was not enough to rival the Heart of the Stars.
"A Level 1 Planet is too small for the pearl to be used. I have to wait until it is at least Level 2 or higher." Sebastian looked at the pearl for a few moments; after that, it was put away.
He prepared to wait until Greater Terra reached Level 2, then he would consider using it. Currently, Greater Terra has two continents. According to normal evolution, the 3rd continent was estimated to take at least a few million years before it could be formed. But if the star pearl was used, it would be different.
Because the pearl was not very big, the area for renovation was limited. Instead of using it immediately, Sebastian decided to wait until Greater Terra was upgraded to Level 2.
Before that, Sebastian observed the development of Greater Terra. The overall situation could be described as great since the enhancement effect of the Level 6 Planet also continued to the 2nd continent.
The Gorilla was now the overlord, and it started producing offspring. Furthermore, what's surprising is that it had created a civilization. This giant gorilla led the clan and made all kinds of tools. Although very crude, ultimately, it was still a tool. Subsequently, a shrine was built out of stone.
Sebastian was slightly astonished.
However, other gorillas were a little less intelligent, so a fully formed gorilla civilization had not completely developed. Among the offspring, several cubs had inherited the genes of the giant gorilla. This also allowed the civilization of the giant gorilla to continue.
What the giant gorilla didn't expect at all was that around it, there were at least three different pairs of eyes peeping in the dark.
There were several Skeleton Reptiles that crawled out of the underground cave. They were clever and cunning, so there was no big fanfare. Instead, they were secretly observing in the dark; they didn't dare to mess with the gorilla.
It's just that what these Skeleton Reptiles didn't know was that their every move had been targeted by the Water Droplet Humans who were hiding deeper. In their eyes, these giant underground creatures seemed to show some interest.
Deep in the forest, many large figures were getting restless; they seemed to want to sneak attack on this giant gorilla, but there was no certainty. They were indecisive and hesitant.
Sebastian was happy that there was no fight for the time being. The increase in the number of giant beasts over the years made the overall size of Greater Terra change again.
On the 1st continent.
When Elizabeth was 38 years old, something big happened. Although the actual management of the entire Imperium was now in the hands of the Astra Militarum, the imperial court in the capital still had its team.
On New Year's Eve, Elizabeth made a trip back to celebrate. This year, Elizabeth remained the same as usual. While at the palace, she was walking on the road. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out with a bang. But that wasn't the sound of the attacker's gunshots; instead, it was the Custodes. After the Adeptus Custodes discovered the attacker, they fired the shot.
The attacker was one of the guards of the palace. When the gun had just been drawn and was about to target Elizabeth, it was discovered by the Custodes and killed on the spot.
This incident completely angered the Astra Militarum, so Cross personally led an investigation. With a total of 30,000 personnel, the entire capital was surrounded. Although Cross had stepped down from the post of Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard, he did not retire. Instead, he continued to stay by Elizabeth's side as a consultant.
Shortly thereafter, the Astra Militarum found the puppet ruler who died in a palace after taking poison. As the investigation progressed, they discovered that it was not just him; there were wealthy nobles who participated in the planning of this attack on Elizabeth.
With the rise of the Astra Militarum, these prominent aristocrats, who held a lot of power and wealth, felt an unprecedented crisis. They were not stupid and knew that they were not a match for the Astra Militarum, so they aimed at the soul of the Astra Militarum, Elizabeth. As soon as Elizabeth died, the Astra Militarum could be said to be without a leader, and it was likely that they would be attacked individually.
These aristocrats owned a lot of land and wealth in the Imperium. Because of them, the problem of land annexation was very serious. In the past decade, in preparation for the War, these wealthy nobles were quite cooperative, so Elizabeth did not have the heart to bother them.
But now this attack gave the Astra Militarum the best excuse, so Elizabeth also did not hesitate and put Cross in full charge.
These days, the capital was rolling with heads to kill. The wealthy nobles were dragged out one by one; whether they were involved in the planning or innocent, none of them were spared. This incident was deliberately spread to the whole nation by Cross.
The wealthy nobles of the entire Imperium were affected by the situation, and they were being made to relinquish the land in their possession. After this incident, the Astra Militarum simply and brutally solved the land problem.
There were also advancements in the fields of chemistry and biology, and fertilizers and seeds were greatly improved, making the crop fields more abundant every year.
When Elizabeth was 40 years old, many new inventions were born. The telephone was the representative of the new year. The first railway was officially completed, and the first train started running. The automobile was still in the process of being improved.
A new type of internal combustion engine ship was moving on the water one after another. Along the Mighty Canal, the Astra Militarum started to explore the ocean.
A few decades ago, the people of the Imperium had just observed that beyond this land on the other side of the sea, there was another continent. However, due to the constraints of the time, plus a very dangerous ocean between the 1st and the 2nd lands, people couldn't get past it. With the creation of the new ships, a new round of exploration had started.
Sebastian was looking forward to the meeting of the 1st and 2nd continents. However, he also knew that with the current technology of the ships, he estimated that it was still impossible to cross the turbulent ocean.
Telephones, cars, and trains were the most eye-catching.
But apart from people's livelihood, in these years, the greatest focus of the Astra Militarum was still on the military side. To encourage competition, Elizabeth divided the projects into several large groups. There were five leaders: Fleming, Ewart, Hudnall, Denis, and Allard. Each person was responsible for a different direction. Under the huge investment and competition, all kinds of results were released.
The alloy of Starfall Iron and Vibranium was a top priority. After the War, every scientist was aware of the importance of the alloys and their shortcomings. The alloy they made was still a little too crude, so more technical improvements were required.
Other than that, the Machine Gun was improved again. A terrifying new type of Machine Gun was born: the Gatling Gun. With 4 barrels, it could fire faster, and its power was several times greater; a research group even invented a special bullet.
Ewart created the Schwerer Gustav, and he was preparing to improve it to become a conventional weapon.
However, these were insignificant; the truly major invention of this year was made by the group led by Fleming, a mobile fortress. Its body was covered with a thick alloy and had tracks underneath. There was also a large barrel, so it could attack and defend.
Though it was still very crude, the first tank was officially launched, triggering a lot of attention from the top brass of the Astra Militarum. Everyone understood that in positional warfare, it would play a very significant role. It preliminarily solved the defensive problem of the Astra Militarum.
However, this year's award winner was not the inventor of the telephone, nor was it the creator of the tank. One of the most sensational inventions this year came from Herb William, the one working on a machine that could fly.
Staying in the laboratory for many years, he was less than 30 years old, and his head was already bald. But his project succeeded: the first aircraft in the history of the Imperium. Under the witness of Elizabeth, Rommel, and many other officials of the Astra Militarum, the test flight was successful.
Upon seeing this humble glider fly into the skies, Elizabeth couldn't help but feel quite excited. She knew that this represented the beginning of another era. Since then, there has been another area of human exploration. The sky was no longer a dream.
This year's award was originally very competitive, but after the aircraft was revealed, there was no debate at all. William won the award of the year without any suspense and was promoted to doctorate. He became the leader of the aircraft research team. The importance of this group was no less than Dr. Han's biological weapons research team. In the years after that, the aircraft was slowly improved.
All sorts of little inventions and research appeared too. It continued the second technology surge since the invention of the generator.
The impact of the electric age on ordinary people was much more obvious than the age of steam; the most notable was electric light, which gradually replaced the original candles in thousands of households.
During these ten years, benefits from the improvement of people's livelihood and the help of the Level 6 Planet, the population of the Imperium experienced explosive growth. This also gave Greater Terra good vitality.
Sebastian took a look at the current Greater Terra. The numbers had changed quite a bit...
[ Name of the Planet: Greater Terra ]
[ Planet Level: Level 1 ]
[ Diameter of The Planet: 803 km ]
[ Planet Species: 1430 ]
[ Deduction Route: None ]
From the past to now, the diameter has improved significantly. For the first time, it broke through to 800 km.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in Sebastian's mind: "To the freshmen."
"This is... the Spirit of the Planet?" Sebastian immediately recognized the somewhat familiar voice.
It was not just Sebastian; in the freshman dormitory area, each of the newly arrived students stopped their movements. They listened carefully to the voice because to make the Spirit of the Planet speak, something significant must be going on.
"This year's Selection of Heaven has been canceled, and I will no longer accept disciples in the future." The voice of the Spirit of the Planet continued: "But in order not to disappoint you, let's change it to the Freshman Challenge. Whoever can win the Freshman Challenge, then you will get my specially refined Star Space. All of you freshmen, show your strength to your heart's content."
As the voice of the Spirit of the Planet stopped, after a short period of silence, there was an uproar.
[ ===== ]
Next door to Sebastian…
"Star Space!" In a villa, Romy was having a small gathering with several new students. At this time, their eyes widened involuntarily.
[ ===== ]
Even Sebastian was a little surprised. This Star Space was not the same thing as in the examination area; instead, it was a real Star Space. Something only planets of Level 6 or higher could create. Its value was incalculable; it was far more than any treasure, even more than the Heart of the Stars.
