Chapter 28| The First Full-Process Extreme Test

Early morning, before the fog had fully dissipated, Li Xing was already standing in front of the old factory building outside town.Today's task was something he had never attempted before—to perform a complete overhaul and adjustment of a severely worn diesel engine in a neighboring town.The machine was old, parts were loose and uneven, and any minor mistake could cause an accident.This time, he decided to utilize the entire spatial control system—from low-level permissions to minor adjustments, testing the limits throughout.He took a deep breath, reviewing his experience over the past few weeks:Emotionally stable, completely under controlMentally focused, free of distractionsPhysically in good conditionThe magnified information window in the silent mode of the spatial control system was clear."Ready," he said softly.As soon as he sat down, he opened the low-level spatial control system; the interface was as calm as usual.But this time, he didn't remain in silent mode; instead, he actively initiated the entire process:Perception fully activated, structural information magnifiedForce feedback, part wear, and force angles were all synchronizedEven minute vibrations and temperature differences were capturedInstantly, his brain was overwhelmed with information.Every bolt, every washer, flashed with structural feedback before his eyes.Simultaneously, his fingers and consciousness had to be perfectly synchronized with this information; otherwise, even the slightest deviation would have consequences.For the first hour, he disassembled the engine in sequence.The subtle vibrations provided by the low-authority space allowed him to accurately locate the springs with the greatest force deviations and the tiny deposits clogging the oil passages.But the cost of using the entire process immediately became apparent—The intense concentration made time feel stretched out.His arms ached and went numb, his fingers trembled slightly.His breathing and heartbeat were amplified in sync with the information; every error made him feel the danger.For the second hour, he began adjusting the parts.Every fine-tuning had to be perfectly synchronized with his spatial perception.The slightest carelessness would cause fluctuations in the low-authority space, warning of risks, but this time there was no option to back out.This was a self-imposed extreme trial—he had to complete the task, or the risks would become uncontrollable.Sweat streamed down his forehead, his fingers unusually sensitive.Every vibration of the low-authority space felt like a tapping on his nerve endings.He could almost feel every tiny change in the force exerted on the parts.Three hours passed, and the engine tuning was complete.He stopped, letting out a long breath.His whole body was sore and numb, but his mind was exceptionally clear.The interface silently retracted, without any notification, as if to say, "You're done."The old merchant looked at the repaired engine, his eyes filled with astonishment:"Xingzi, you... this speed, this accuracy... it's incredible."Li Xing simply nodded slightly, understanding in his heart—this full-process usage was not just about completing a task, but also a test of his own limits.His body, mind, judgment, and spatial perception were all synchronized like never before.And this synchronization, if it contained even a little anxiety, even a little distraction, could immediately backfire.That night, he sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), reaching for his notebook.He slowly wrote down the summary:—The full-process extreme test was successful—Prerequisites for the full use of the space:1. Complete emotional stability2. High level of mental concentration3. Sufficient physical endurance—Exceeding these conditions has unpredictable consequences—The synchronization window is controllable, but always accompanied by risksA gentle night breeze blew outside the window. He closed his eyes and for the first time felt— The space is not omnipotent; it merely exposes your own limits.And this time, he successfully crossed that boundary.
