《Universe 2.0》Chapter 3 Ranran 2.0 & Setting out
Advertisement
William muttered to himself in his dream. When he woke up, he rolled over and rolled under the bed, which woke everyone, including himself.
"Hee-hee, maybe I'm too excited to leave." He said as he picked up his phone and stumbled across a good opportunity:
He saw that their physics teacher, Li Ranran, sent him a message, "Dear class representative, I have to go to school today."
"To school...?" As he thought, an idea suddenly came to him. "Good!" He jumped up excitedly, "This trip is so unique that I must have a companion. This is a preliminary experiment, so I can see how the cloning technology I got from Mom works."
So William estimated when she would arrive at school, jumped into the racing car and drove down a tunnel onto the main road. "This can help me a lot," He said, looking at the device in the other seat.
"Master, you seem to be up to something big." Natalie said.
"Yes, I'm up to something big, and the bigger the better." He muttered triumphantly to himself. Natalie was very confused about his purpose.
Twenty minutes later, William arrived at his destination. A few black characters were written on the gate, "Tianjin Nankai High School". Entering the grove inside, he saw the bright sunlight pouring through the trees and shining on the statue of the premier. He bowed deeply to the statue of the premier, and then walked inside, into the Xiangyu Building, to the physics office.
Ranran was sitting at her desk, crunching some numbers. She wore a pink dress with her red lips turned up slightly. She had seen the papers of some of William's class and thought they had done quite well.
"Ah, what are you doing here, William?" She said in surprise and delight as William strode in.
"I'm telling you a good news: I will spend this summer vacation in a different way!" He said mysteriously.
"Wow," Ranran's red lips opened slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"I'm here to discuss something with you." He continued, "As you know, my mother works at Columbia University. Recently, their research team proposed a new project to study human breast cells. They are recruiting female volunteers who are willing to donate breast cells. I think you can give it a try, because this subject, according to my mother, is very closely linked to health, genetic engineering and other projects, so you have the opportunity to make great contributions to the scientific research of human. What do you think?"

Having successfully fabricated a lie, William was overjoyed to see Ranran grant his request. Then he took her into the hallway, took out a small object and said, "This is a minitype robot. Just let this little object enter your body, and it will anesthetize part of your nerve, then automatically remove part of your breast tissue and store it. Cells don't die for a long time!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"That's right. Now time for miracles!"
William then placed the robot in her mouth. It automatically found the breast, methodically completed each step, and then flew out with the cells.
"Thank you for your support and cooperation! I am sure my mother's research will be fruitful!" He gave Ranran a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, you're so sweet!" She smiled shyly back, "I have things to do, so I'm going. Come on! I hope you can achieve your great dream!"
"Goodbye, Miss!" He waved his hand and left the campus. As soon as he was seated in Natalie he laughed heartily.
"What have you got, Master, and what are you going to do with it?" Natalie asked, puzzled.
"I want to clone our physics teacher!" He said proudly.
"What?" Natalie said in utter amazement, "Are you mad, Master? Don't you know that human cloning is against morals and laws?"
"Fuck morals and laws. It's not true that all human beings are going to colonize that planet!" He growled impatiently.
"Whatever you think of it, I think it's a very dangerous experiment."
"You won't stop me, hum."
"All right!" Natalie gave up trying to stop William.
"It's just after nine, not too late. Let's start at once." He went back to the warehouse and said to himself, "Is there anything to check before the spaceship takes off, Photon?"
"Well, it's not very complicated. Just follow the instructions."
William found a piece of floor beside the bed where he had slept the night before that could be opened up. "The spaceship is down there," The plane said. He had no trouble finding the huge ship.
When he opened the door, he picked up the instruction manual on the cockpit console, perused it for a few minutes, and then checked the numbers one by one as instructed. After everything was all right, he got the plane, the racing car and the robots on board and ready to go.
He pressed the "start" button and the electromagnetic engine started working. "Now here on Earth. Use ion propulsion mode for the moment." He pushed the gas push rod and the ship accelerated slowly down the underground runway. When he reached the exit, he gave the lever a gentle pull and the ship soared, flying like an arrow across the sky. A few minutes later, the spaceship reached the boundary of the atmosphere.

The ship rose to a 40,000-kilometer-high orbit. His heart leapt as he looked at the blue-green, dreamlike planet in front of him. "I'm going to explore the universe, Mother." He said excitedly, switching to "curvature-driving" mode. The high-pitched shriek of the electromagnetic engine was heard, and in the twinkle of an eye they disappeared in the space.
Millions of glittering stars were zooming by. "Cool!" Exclaimed the plane, "How far have we flown now, Master?"
"About ten light years. I guess we'll be there in a few hours." William replied, glancing aside and catching a glimpse of the cloning device.
"Oh! Why don't I try a zero-gravity clone now? It is said that cells in space may undergo some wonderful mutations." Using the same minitype robot, he removed a cell from his own body and removed the nucleus. He then isolated the nuclei from the cells of Ranran's breast tissue and fused them into his cytoplasm.The device displayed,
Nucleoplasmic fusion has been completed. Please wait about a week.
"Great! So I can have the clone Ranran as my partner, ha ha ha. There are no morals on this Earth-like planet. I can do what I want."
The ship flew by a huge blue giant. Natalie the racing car was so captivated by the spectacle that she lay down next to the cockpit and peered through the window at the beautiful star.
"If only Earth-like planet we're going to had a mother star like this." She murmured to herself.
"Don't worry, I'm going to show you a multi-star system similar to the destination right now." William steered the ship toward a quaternary system. This galaxy consisted of two binary systems. One consisted of a yellow dwarf and a white dwarf, and the other consisted of two red dwarfs. The smaller red dwarf also had a planet outside that was rich in helium-3 and iron ore.
"We made a fortune!" Cried Photon excitedly.
"Well, this is not making a fortune. Come and see this planet." William said. Millions of kilometers away from this galaxy, in another one, there was a planet with vast deposits of gold and silver. The internal of one of the planets was made up entirely of gold, silver and diamonds.
"That's making a fortune." Said William, "Would you like to go and get some ore?"
They agreed. So William kept adjusting the speed and attitude of the ship until it was captured by the planet. Then they gradually lost altitude and finally came to a steady stop.
The party disembarked and picked up the pre-loaded explosives. After completing laying, William pressed the trigger mechanism, only to hear an earth-shattering bang. Large gold and silver ore flew out of the ground. William joyfully picked up the ore, and let the racing car carry it to the ship. When they had gathered hundreds of tons of ore, William decided to set out again.
"Well, that's almost it. That should be enough for us to use for tens of thousands of years." He joked, launching the ship again and leaving the planet.
In a few hours the ship would approach its destination. "We'll be there in about ten minutes, so get ready." William changed course and headed straight for the galaxy α-3665. The blue planet was already in front of them. "Let's land in a similar way," He said, again successfully making the ship captured by the planet and gradually slowing down. This time he had to drop something -- a float, because this was a planet that was completely covered by ocean.
As the ship lost altitude, a powerful wave was drawn up. William gave a gentle push to the lever confidently, and then the ship came to a steady halt, leveled against the water.
"Yeah! We're on another planet!" The party cheered together.
Then William saw a drone come and land itself on the surface of the water. A removable disk fell out. William picked it up, plugged it into the computer, opened an audio file inside, and a strange sound came out.
Guests from Earth,
Hello. The location of you and the drone is the "origin of coordinates". Dive 5,000 meters below the sea level here and you'll find a three-storey villa that's just for you. There is a brief introduction to the functions of each area of the villa. Please read it carefully. I wish you a happy and meaningful summer vacation.
Anonymous
"Anonymous? Who could have written that?" Said Photon, puzzled.
"Let's find the villa first." Said William, letting the ship descend gradually. At last a huge shadow gradually appeared in front of them.
"Here it is. Let's go in." He said, walking to the door. The door opened automatically.

The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects

8 122Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
