Foundation, exposed from Tianhe City

Chapter 36: Anomalous Object 093 – Red Sea Object

[Ding! Top 10 Anomalies Containment Inventory, 6th Place: Anomalous Object 093 – Red Sea Object].

[Project Name: Red Sea Object].

[Project Number: Anomalous-093].

[Project Class: Euclid].

[Project Description: Anomalous Object 093 is a red disc with peculiar patterns carved from a synthetic red stone material resembling cinnabar.].

[The entire surface is covered with unknown symbols and circular engravings, approximately half a centimeter deep.].

[Deeper engravings are present on the disc, appearing incredibly new despite the passage of time and years.].

[The disc is comfortably graspable by most individuals.].

[Once firmly held by a living being, the disc’s color will change. The reasons behind these color changes are still under investigation.].

[Currently, available data only suggests that the remorse within the holder influences the color variations of the disc.].

[Furthermore, once Anomalous Object 094 is removed from a mirror and left unattended, it gains a certain degree of autonomous movement and seeks out the nearest reflective surface.].

[Observations have shown that Anomalous Object 093 starts rolling and moving rapidly along the largest possible circular path within its range. Its speed can reach astonishing levels without any discernible energy source.].

[When obstacles are present between Anomalous Object 093 and the nearest reflective surface, it utilizes the resulting impact force to penetrate the obstacles, maintaining high speed and direction until it comes into contact with a mirror-like surface.].

[Despite its tremendous speed, Anomalous Object 093 itself remains undamaged.].

……

Lines of text appeared in the sky, forming the image of a peculiar crimson disk made of cinnabar-like material with a textured surface.

“A crimson disk! This is the 6th-ranked anomaly!”

“It appears quite ordinary at first glance. Can this disk cause harm directly? Or…”

“Wait, the text in the sky describes the disk’s speed rapidly increasing when it’s not held by a living being? And it can’t be destroyed? Does that mean it behaves differently when someone holds it? And could this indestructible high-speed movement be used as an attack method?”

“Wow! Mr. Ke upstairs, it seems to be the case!”

Countless online spectators erupted with excitement as the text in the sky continued to scroll.

[Public Archive: Anomalous Object 093 Red Sea Object and Anomalous Object 682 Indestructible Abomination Interaction Experiment, Video File, Autoplay].

As this line of text appeared, everyone instantly went into an uproar. On board the Giant Gorge, General Duao and Qin had returned.

“An interaction experiment between anomalies? Is this… something the Foundation did? Unbelievable!”

“It makes sense when you think about it. The Foundation was able to control the Voracious Rabbit to deal with the Indestructible Abomination, so it should be relatively easy for them to control this so-called Red Sea Object!”

“That would imply that the threat level of this Red Sea Object isn’t significant.”

“Being classified as Euclid, based on the currently available information, it should only be of moderate difficulty, slightly harder than Safe.”

The commanders present engaged in various discussions.

General Duao and the others stared at the sky, refusing to miss a second.

In the Demon Castle…

“Bichi! As expected, anomalies are not uncontrollable. Once we can harness their power, we will possess extraordinary strength!! Let the Queen see where the terror of this so-called Red Sea Object lies!”

Demon Queen Morgana was filled with frustration. The Indestructible Abomination 682 was incredibly powerful, surpassing any demon under her command.

If Atto had obtained the Voracious Rabbit back, then it’s possible that the Indestructible Abomination would now belong to her, not those damned Foundation!

But this time, no matter what, she had to get her hands on this Red Sea Object!

In Morgana’s eyes, the so-called arrival of anomalies seemed more like a tremendous opportunity!

In the direction of Angel Yan…

“Interaction experiments between anomalies? Is the Foundation attempting to harness the power of anomalies for their own use?”

She furrowed her brow slightly. Having just witnessed the Indestructible Abomination being taken away right in front of her, Angel Yan’s emotions toward the Foundation were complex—a mixture of wariness, resistance, and a hint of gratitude.

In the sky…

Suddenly, the previously brown-colored Indestructible Abomination 682 was released and placed in a circular room, firmly secured in place.

“This is… the previous version of the Indestructible Abomination!” Angel Yan softly exclaimed.

The current Indestructible Abomination had evolved into a black form, clearly even more formidable, but she still couldn’t let go of such important information.

Anomalous vs Anomalous!

A red disc was also placed into the experiment. Then, a strange scene unfolded. The red disc moved and tumbled in a controlled circular motion, defying gravity, and its speed rapidly increased.

In just a dozen seconds…

“Light speed?! Bichi! Can this thing accelerate to light speed? Solely relying on its own body?! Bichi, Bichi!! I must get my hands on this, no matter what!” Demon Queen Morgana widened her eyes, unable to hold back her exclamation.

Angel Yan, General Duao, and the others also displayed incredulous expressions!

Light speed!

It was the distinguishing mark between pre-nuclear civilizations and stellar civilizations. Having the ability for interstellar travel at the speed of light meant that the seeds of civilization could be spread beyond the stellar neighborhood. Technology had entered a whole new era.

But for human civilization to develop a warp engine capable of achieving light-speed curvature, it would still take at least tens of thousands of years!

But what shocked everyone was that the red disc could withstand the spatial particle compression effect caused by light-speed movement, completely unharmed!

The Angel civilization was a nebula-level civilization with the ability for superluminal travel.

However, they achieved it through worm bridges, and their own flying speed was only several times the speed of sound unless they opened micro-wormholes for teleportation. But the object before them displayed material resistance surpassing any known object of the Angel civilization, along with authentic light-speed flight.

In the projection of the sky, the Red Sea disc had transformed into a red light. In an instant, it collided with the stationary Indestructible Abomination. A dazzling halo of light burst forth.
