My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 446 - 209: Wings of Light (Part 2)

Yang Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony with Zhao Jiayan. With a thought, he easily refined the palm-sized wings.

The next moment, the palm-sized wings in his hand disappeared, and a pair of wings made entirely of light appeared on his back.

"Wings made of light?"

Yang Yuan was astonished, feeling that such a super technological product might not be something his printer could replicate.

Because even if he could scan them, without the corresponding materials, it was unlikely to fabricate such functional wings with other materials.

Zhao Jiayan smiled and explained, "The Technology Association is indeed very powerful. Water can be compressed into a solid, and gases can be separated. That was once our technology. But for light, we have almost no experience in utilization, whereas they have a very mature theory, capable of capturing and utilizing photons."

"Photons?"

Yang Yuan was puzzled, "Didn’t Leader Chen capture some previously? The engine of my first Power Armor was also made using photons."

"It’s not that simple."

Zhao Jiayan shook her head with a smile: "Your wings are almost entirely composed of photons, with a photon-constructed engine inside. Those people solidified them into a solid-state, yet they can retain most of the light’s functions."

"Retain most of the light’s functions..."

Yang Yuan was startled, "You mean?"

"Why don’t you try it out yourself? But it’s best to go somewhere more open." Zhao Jiayan smiled.

"I’m a little excited about it."

Yang Yuan immediately left the library and went to the outside hall.

"Let’s go outside; it’s too cramped here." Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi followed him out.

Yang Yuan had a thought and nodded, following Zhao Jiayan away from the Cosmic Battleship Wreckage.

They soon went outside.

"Here we go, fly towards the sky." Zhao Jiayan said.

Yang Yuan nodded, then with a thought—

Without any sound, he instantly transformed into a stream of light and vanished above the elemental layer.

"Wow—"

Jiang Yiyi was shocked, her small mouth open wide.

The nearby Technology Association guard team was also surprised and looked over.

Even Dai Changlin looked over with disbelief, as he felt that the speed of that light beam wasn’t much slower than his lightning.

...

Above the cloud layer.

Yang Yuan suddenly stopped, his heart somewhat shaken.

Because just that second, he had flown nearly two hundred thousand kilometers.

Under normal circumstances, with such speed, most things would vaporize, and even Earth Level creatures would be no exception.

His own physical body, while strong, should have felt some discomfort at such speed.

Yet, magically, he felt no discomfort at all; that terrifying speed felt almost instinctual.

"Close to the speed of light..."

Yang Yuan was shocked. This wasn’t the speed of an arrow shot by a Marvel crossbow but his own travel speed.

With a thought, he continued flying upwards.

The next moment, he transformed into light and rushed out of the atmosphere into outer space.

"It seems like I can control the speed myself..."

Yang Yuan kept accelerating, accelerating, and accelerating again.

About ten minutes later, his speed was infinitely close to the speed of light, as if his whole being was about to become light.

Actually, this wasn’t much, because simply in terms of travel speed, it was far inferior to his Arbitrary Gate.

But this thing could change direction at will; as long as the mind operated fast enough, circling around a meteorite tens of thousands of times in a second would be no problem.

This gadget, if used as a killing tool, probably nothing below Celestial-level could resist it.

Even Celestial-level creatures with insufficient speed would probably suffer greatly.

"This thing... is it unique to the Technology Association, or do those super civilizations among the stars also have it?"

Yang Yuan was shocked.

He flew in outer space at a wonderful speed of 270,000 kilometers for more than half an hour, indulging himself, before opening a door and returning to the Technology Association base.

Although the speed of the Feathers of Light was terrifying, it could only be used as a tool for engagement in encounters.

For actual traveling, one still had to rely on the Arbitrary Gate.

It’s worth mentioning that the Feathers of Light could be retracted, and when you wanted to use them, you could release them with a thought.

Moreover, these wings made of light seemed to lack volume; when retracted, they only gave the person a sense of a faint glow, very magical.

The next moment, he directly returned to the Technology Association base through the Space Gate.

"How was it?" Zhao Jiayan asked eagerly.

"Very impressive, I already flew out of the atmosphere, spent some time flying in space, and felt like I truly became light."

Yang Yuan praised, "This thing is incredible; if it could be mass-produced..."

"Impossible." Zhao Jiayan shook her head.

"High cost?" Yang Yuan asked.

"It’s not about cost."

Zhao Jiayan explained, "Because I know your Ability Type, I specifically had those scientists add a concept. The person using these wings can become an embodiment of light, and these ’Feathers of Light’ are associated with certain legends in space."

"What do you mean?" Yang Yuan’s heart stirred.

"Haven’t you already guessed?"

Zhao Jiayan smiled slightly and said, "Only Conceptual Superpower Users can use this thing, because they inherently possess Conceptual Power. Theoretically, they can assimilate all things. When you use such artificial conceptual items, it’s easy to assimilate them. As for others..."

She paused and added, "Others aren’t completely unable to use it, but they cannot withstand the terrifying speed brought by the Feathers of Light. Generally, only Celestial-level creatures, even mid to late Celestial-level, might bear such terrifying speed. But I’ve heard that mid to late Celestial-level creatures can almost reach such speed themselves, so for Celestial-level creatures, this thing is almost a chicken rib."

This means that while the Technology Association can manufacture such magical items, only Conceptual Superpower Users can trigger their full power, so equipping an entire army is almost impossible.

And generally, Conceptual Superpower Users are highly valued and nearly impossible to send to war.

If it really came to that point, that Conceptual Superpower User employee probably wouldn’t stay.

"Only the Conceptual System can use it?"

Yang Yuan was surprised, "Can conceptual items be manufactured through technological means?"

"Not entirely through technological means."

Zhao Jiayan said, "I mentioned before that these Feathers of Light are linked to certain legends in space."

Legend...

Yang Yuan felt a vague understanding.

Zhao Jiayan said, "During this time, I studied some civilizations in space and found that within these civilizations, there’s a legend. The legend says the God of Light possesses a pair of Wings of Light, and anyone who obtains them can achieve the speed of light. This legend holds a status in space similar to mythological legends of Earth’s past civilization."

"God of Light... Wings of Light..."

Yang Yuan nodded, "Is it just a legend? Does such an existence truly exist in space?"

"I wouldn’t know."

Zhao Jiayan said, "I had someone test it before. Even if an item is manufactured using super technology based on mythological legends, users of other ability types can at best use it as a normal tool. But Conceptual Superpower Users can unleash power comparable to legendary items. Hence, I suspect that so-called Conceptual Power is connected to well-known things or perhaps to the cultural inheritance of civilizations and so forth."

She paused and added, "The Conceptual Power I’m referring to is not Conceptual Superpowers but similar to the concept of faith-making gods in mythologies on Earth."

Yang Yuan nodded in understanding, "Does the Technology Association also have Conceptual Superpower Users?"

"There is one."

Zhao Jiayan laughed, "As it turns out, you know this Conceptual Superpower User too."

"I know them?" Yang Yuan’s heart stirred.

"That’s right, it’s Jia Weixin, Director Jia of the thirteenth team."

Zhao Jiayan smiled, "I only found out after joining the Technology Association that Director Jia Weixin is also a Conceptual Superpower User, but his ability is somewhat... special."

She didn’t know what term to use to describe Jia Weixin’s ability, so she simply used ’special’.

"It turns out to be Director Jia."

Yang Yuan was quite surprised, "He also joined the Technology Association? Makes sense, with Leader Chen joining, his joining isn’t surprising either."

"Speaking of which, Director Jia is currently at Duobei Snow Mountain, do you want to meet him?" Zhao Jiayan smiled.
