“My God, it’s incredible! Such a highly active energy source actually manifests in this form and, the most amazing thing, is that it has no molecular structure! Su Mo, do you know what kind of discovery this is? It is no
exaggeration to say that if I can bring this substance back to Earth, I can win the 100-year Feng Bujue Award!”

Sitting in front of the analytical device in the room, he looked at the data that was displayed on it, even though he was controlling the robot, Lu Kuan was trembling involuntarily.
This was his reaction when he was extremely excited!
However, Su Mo, who was sitting to the side, was interested. “Feng Bujue Award? Are you referring to the Nobel Prize?”

Lu Kuan turned his head, “Nobel? Oh, I forgot about the fact that we are not from the same space and time continuum. However, the global prize that all scientists want to get their hands on, in your space and time
continuum, seems to have been set up by a foreigner?”

“Anyway, that’s not important. Come and see. According to common sense, if there is no interaction force, the atoms cannot be aggregated, so it cannot form matter.”
“There are two exceptions to this limitation. The first are metals, and the second are noble gasses.”

“Because noble gasses are inert substances, their gas molecules are a single atom. In contrast to metals, almost all the electrons in metals are free electrons, and metal atoms rely on the interactions between these free
electrons and all the atomic nuclei to form a stable state of matter.”

“Of course, there is also another case, where the electron degenerate matter of a white dwarf is compressed by ultra-high gravity until the distance between the atoms breaks through the last electron orbit, which is
equivalent to all the atomic nuclei being soaked inside the groups of electrons. In this state, further compression will form a neutron degenerate state of matter, that is, the state of matter on a neutron star.”

Fearing that he was using too many technical terms for a layman to understand, Lu Kuan tried his best to simplify the explanation, and used small gestures with his hands to try to help Su Mo visualize the subject
matter.

“But now, look, this is amazing… the psychic energy water, it actually formed matter with a single atom without any electron attraction. This is simply incredible, and is definitely not whatever dark energy that you
mentioned!”

Su Mo was surprised. “Isn’t it dark energy?”

Lu Kuan nodded, “Indeed. Although dark energy is mysterious, it is speculated that it accounts for more than 68% of mass-energy. It’s something that accelerates the expansion of the universe and is composed of
particles that do not emit electromagnetic radiation. It will never behave in such a way.”

“This psychic energy water may be one level higher than dark energy!”

The detection response from the instrument had almost reached an extreme state, and the whirring of the cooling fans could be clearly heard.
Through the small centrifuge, more and more atoms were thrown out, hitting the walls of the glass tube.

Like a meteor that was bursting brightly, all kinds of beautiful and mysterious light spots flew up and down.

The specific attributes could not be calculated, but within the maximum range of the instrument, Lu Kuan successfully obtained the data he wanted.
“Phew, it’s really an amazing discovery!”

“As you guessed, this thing really can’t be used as a direct energy source, and it’s even more difficult to find a device that can isolate its specific effects. It’s even more difficult to handle than the dark energy that we
obtained! However, this thing, as long as we fulfill the most basic conditions, it can directly play an incredible role! For example, when we manufacture super alloys, we can add some of this into the mix and it will cause
the properties of the alloy to undergo incredible changes. It’s very likely that the overall quality of the alloy will increase by up to two levels! Of course, I guess this thing can also give superalloys other properties, but
without real experimental conditions, this is still an unknown factor!”

Scientists would never lie.

Yet surprisingly, Lu Kuan stated his own guesses one after another.

From this point, one could clearly see the shock brought by the psychic energy water, and the preciousness of the energy contained within it!
“Don’t worry about this. When we build the required infrastructure, we will study on how to improve the alloy’s quality.”

“Tell me about the other two technologies?”

Lu Kuan nodded, “Okay, among the remaining two technologies, the second is the split conscious uploading technology, which is what you are seeing on me right now. The human brain is composed of countless
neuron combinations, and an unimaginable amount of synaptic transmissions occurs between them. Even the mysterious aliens’ technology would face difficulties in analyzing it. This is the supreme secret of biology,
and it is also a crucial condition for the universe to break through dimensions. Relying on our own technology, it would be impossible to copy these things, strip our consciousness out, and still retain our thinking
ability, memories, potential, and other brain functions like I have currently, so we took advantage of our unique circumstances! You should know… about the wasteland Gods, right?”

After hesitating for a while, Lu Kuan asked carefully. At the same time, he looked up at the sky, as if he had a sense of lingering fear toward the subject.

Su Mo nodded.

Lu Kuan then said, “Very good, come with me and look at the carrier we rely on. You should be able to understand then!”

He waved his hand and pressed a few buttons on the panel, after which a secret door in the room opened, revealing the cabin that was infused with white mist.
A gust of wind blew past.

The exhaust fan had started running, and a large amount of the white mist was sucked out into the hole where the rocket was stored.

After most of the white mist dissipated, Lu Kuan walked forward, and Su Mo followed behind him.

The two entered the cabin one after the other.

Unlike the huge outer room where the various devices were placed, the cabin here was only forty square meters in size.

In the center of the cabin, there was a glass box that looked like a transparent coffin. It had several energy pipes transporting substances in and out of it. Plus, the things inside it were also very simple, and even very
familiar!

“This is an foreign race’s body from the Slime race. Don’t underestimate this body and judge it based on its ugly appearance just because it looks like…”

“Cough cough, ahem, in short, as long as this thing has energy, it possesses the special ability to infinitely reproduce and regenerate cells. | don’t know what kind of power this ability comes from, but we have
successfully used it to parasitize our own brains, and have obtained almost the same attributes.”

Clicking on the button on the glass box, the slime’s body gradually came apart, revealing the glowing pink human brains inside.

Without the skull, these brains looked chilling and gave people goosebumps.

However Su Mo, who had just learned biology, was lying on the top of the glass box with great interest, and looked inside ‘with a passion to learn’.
“I guess this must be your brain!”

Su Mo said with a smile, pointing to one of the nine brains inside, which was neither the largest nor the smallest.

Lu Kuan was startled, “Hey, how did you know?”

Without answering Lu Kuan’s question, Su Mo chose to maintain a sense of mystery.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Lu Kuan that he obtained his information through the system’s appraisal.

As he spoke, in the information given by the system, Lu Kuan’s brain did change a little.

Lu Kuan’s brain (no skull version) (Excellent)]

Description: This is a human brain with an IQ of 162, which holds a large amount of knowledge and, through some magical parasitic method, the lifespan of the brain has been greatly extended, and it has the ability to
transmit signals to the machine to operate it. During such operation, the computing power consumed by the brain will require double the energy. Long-term operation of the machine will reduce the brain’s lifespan.]

Included knowledge]:

Astronautics (11% – Interstellar Age. Surpasses the level of knowledge on Earth. Cosmic human junior-level.)
hysics (83% – Information Age. Surpasses the level of knowledge on Earth.)

Biology (49% – Information Age. Elite Earth scientist-level.)

High-Energy Chemistry (68% – Information Age. Top scientist-level.)

Literature (14% – Steam Age. Postmodern poet-level.)

Special Ability]:

arasitism (The brain is attached to the slime’s body in a special way.)
Absorption (Through parasitism, the brain can absorb the proliferation and regeneration ability of the slime’s body, delaying the aging and death of neurons, increasing their lifespan.)

Symbiosis (As a result of long-term parasitism, the slime and the brain have formed a connection, so when the slime’s body is severely injured, it will simultaneously cause trauma to the brain, resulting in irreversible
damage.)

[Remaining lifespan: 658 years]

(Intense thinking +100%. ..36800%, strenuous exercise +65%…1298%, mood swings +58%…699%, …, daily communication +11%…65%, daily activity +6%…18 %, sleep +0.00003%)
[Comment: Increased longevity! Ah, the brain is shaking!]

The human brain had a lifespan of about 100-150 years.

Yet now, Lu Kuan’s brain had a terrifying 658 years of remaining lifespan!

Even if performing various activities would exacerbate the reduction of his lifespan, it still could not alter the fact that they had obtained a form of increased longevity!
“It’s a pity. I don’t know when this method can be fully completed. Although it was successful, it was not completely successful either.”

“This is Leader Su Deben, this is my assistant Ji Yang, and this is our great biologist Zhuo Junfan, this is Yan Xiaqing, who specializes in medical research…”

Lu Kuan sounded like he was introducing his family members.

Although these brains did not look any different in terms of appearances, he was still able to recognize and call out their names accurately and instantly.

After introducing them, he said, “The third technology, virtual reality, is the innovation we have developed by relying on current technology.”

“We have successfully safely removed the brain, figured out how these neurons work and how to stimulate them to achieve different effects. As such, we took some time to study how to stimulate our own brains to
produce more realistic illusions.”

“This virtual reality technology might seem to be useful in deceiving other creatures’ brains, but in fact… we can only deceive our own!”
With a snap of his fingers, a virtual blue screen appeared in the air.

At the same time, under Lu Kuan’s special manipulation, Su Mo saw a few parts of Lu Kuan’s brain suddenly jump slightly.

“These parts are the points that we want to stimulate this time. After stimulation, the corresponding illusions will be generated.”

“This function is very useful, and it is quite good to assist oneself in work. Even if you want to relax, you can create a fake world and have fun in it. However, if we want to deceive the foreign races, we have to get our
hands on their brains and their experiences, and fine-tune it gradually from there. How troublesome!”

“No, it’s very useful, it just needs… some directional adjustments!”

Interrupting Lu Kuan’s speech, a smile appeared on Su Mo’s face.

Of the three technologies, from the beginning to the end, he placed the highest value on this virtual reality technology.
Even after listening to Lu Kuan’s explanation, he still thought the same way!

He had used the training ground provided by the system and had seen the actual virtual reality in action.

So, the Expeditionary Army might have gone down the wrong pathway, but he…

Would never go wrong!

“Lu Kuan, listen to me. Virtual reality should not be used for combat, nor for relaxation.”

“Its true worth lies in…”

“Learning!”

Like a thunderbolt, he looked at Lu Kuan’s brain in the glass cabinet. As it suddenly twitched, Su Mo could no longer hold back the joy in his heart, and burst out in laughter!.
