From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

In the laboratory of the Clarence Organic Life Research Institute, there are various detection and scientific research equipment.

Many of these devices have input information components, and once connected to the internet, they can serve as the eyes and ears of the Xavier Matrix.

These input components are not necessarily cameras or audio equipment; they could be spectral inputs or various scanning devices.

Most devices cannot provide useful information on their own, but combined inputs from multiple devices can create eyes and ears.

Therefore, the surveillance images from the lab appeared on the car window screen, complete with sound.

"Analyze the components of this potion, and give me a plan for iterating its effects."

Upon hearing the Pharaoh's request, Lu Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It must be said that having Sikes Civilization's research institute analyze the potion and provide an iteration plan is indeed the most direct and effective method.

Stealing technological information is far less effective.

Although humans can digest the technological information and then enhance their technology, this digestion process takes time, and a breakthrough in a single technology is not enough to obtain high-tech products.

Each high-tech product requires the support of an entire industrial system, which spans from materials to processing, from numerical control to systems, with countless technologies that need to be broken through.

Only after all the key technological nodes are broken through can one obtain the high-tech product.

Therefore, even if cyber-technical materials are obtained, the digestion process would still take a long time.

Moreover, Human civilization is a 0.8 Level civilization, and even with the technical materials of a 1.6 Level civilization, it cannot directly digest 1.6 Level technology.

The human industrial system needs to advance step by step; from 0.8 Level to 0.9 Level and then to 1.0 Level.

Only a few technologies can skip levels, bypassing transitional technologies, and directly access more advanced tech solutions.

Clearly, the Creator Organization does not have the patience for slowly digesting technological materials; they only want to quickly obtain products with the best effects.

A researcher at Clarence activated a material composition analysis device, placed the Superpower Potion brought by the Pharaoh into the machine, and started the analysis.

Then, various analytical data were displayed on the lab's light screens.

The Pharaoh stared at the information on the screen. Although he had loaded the language of the Sikes Civilization, such highly technical data was incomprehensible to him, even if he recognized every character.

He directly asked, "How is this potion?"

The Clarence researcher replied in a mechanical, electronic voice, "This is a solution containing Free State Source Energy, with a Source Energy content of 5.31%, water content of 93.21%, and additionally there is..."

The Pharaoh did not want to listen to these data and asked directly, "Get to the point, what's the effect? How can it be improved?"

The Clarence researcher pointed to a piece of data on the light screen and answered, "This solution will affect the balance of Cell source energy concentration in organic life cells, causing the cells to reduce the conversion of Source Energy, and is not suitable for injection into the cells of organic life."

The Pharaoh fell silent for two seconds.

The reply was even more mechanical, but its content was indeed about the side effects of the Superpower Potion.

Then, the Pharaoh asked again, "Is there a way to eliminate the side effects?"

After considering the essence of the question with its computing system, the Clarence researcher answered, "If the side effects you refer to are the imbalance of Cell source energy concentration, then it can be eliminated by injecting a Free State Source Energy Decomposer."

This answer was clearly not what the Creator Organization wanted.

The Creator Organization wanted to create a Superpower Potion without side effects.

However, the answer given by the Clarence researcher was to inject a Free State Source Energy Decomposer after the Superpower Potion, to eliminate the side effects.

Of course, once the injected Source Energy was decomposed, it meant that the Superpower Potion had been injected in vain.

The side effects were indeed gone, but the combat power enhancing effect of the Superpower Potion was also destroyed.

So tell me, hasn't the side effect been resolved?

The Pharaoh fell silent again for two seconds and said in an even deeper tone, "I want the technology to iterate this potion and produce one without side effects."

The Clarence researcher also fell silent for two seconds before answering, "The characteristics of organic life cells are fixed, and Source Energy obtained from the outside world that has not been converted by the cells will inevitably have side effects.

"Iterative technology can only reduce side effects, not completely eliminate them, unless we start with changing the cell structure."

The Pharaoh asked, "Specific methods."

The Clarence researcher explained, "The first method is to undergo Mechanical Transformation, installing a Superpower Potion energy extraction module to utilize the Source Energy in the Superpower Potion.

"However, the energy extracted through this method has an energy efficiency of only 37.2% compared to High Energy Batteries, which is not suitable for commercialization."

The Pharaoh was silenced yet again.

He was well-educated, so he understood the content explained by the Clarence researcher.

One must admit, the solution proposed by Researcher Clarence indeed addressed the issue.

The Superpower Potion is, after all, a kind of energy-providing potion, except the energy it provides is Source Energy.

While this method of energy provision can be absorbed and utilized by the cells of organic life, it carries irreversible side effects.

Clarence's solution suggested transforming organic life into mechanical beings and then using mechanical modules to absorb the Source Energy from the Superpower Potion for use.

It has to be said that this plan perfectly resolved the side effects of the Superpower Potion.

Because there are no cells anymore, naturally, there are no side effects either.

However, this solution is like taking off one's pants to fart.

The energy conversion efficiency of absorbing the Superpower Potion through mechanical modules is only a third of that of a High Energy Battery.

If one has already undergone Mechanical Transformation, wouldn't it be better to just use a battery directly?

Pharaoh took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest, and asked, "Is there another solution?"

Researcher Clarence fell silent for two seconds, then answered, "Yes, the second plan is to replace the lifeform's cells.

"There is a type of lifeform among the Abyss Creatures that does not produce side effects upon absorbing external Source Energy.

"Cells from this Abyss Creature can be transplanted into the body, and injecting them into transplanted limbs or organs can achieve the elimination of side effects."

Pharaoh fell silent upon hearing this answer.

In actuality, while the thought of having Abyss Creature cells transplanted into one's body might be met with resistance, if it meant acquiring infinite Strength, it was not an impossible compromise.

If transplanting an arm of an Abyss Creature allowed one to inject an infinite amount of Superpower Potion and become a godlike being in an instant, then the price paid would be worth it.

Pharaoh pressed on, "What kind of Abyss Creature is this?"

Researcher Clarence answered the question truthfully, "The Abyss Meat Tumor. The cells of this Abyss Creature do not have the ability to convert Source Energy and can absorb all organic matter to proliferate cells, using up all the absorbed energy.

"Therefore, after injecting the Superpower Potion, Abyss Meat Tumor cells can acquire the Source Energy from the potion and use it to grow the body or launch it as an attack."

Pharaoh was silenced once again.

Indeed, the Abyss Meat Tumor injected with the Superpower Potion wouldn't have side effects because it does not have the ability to convert Source Energy.

The mitochondria in human cells can convert Source Energy through the digestion of food and energy.

Therefore, after injecting the Superpower Potion, the body's cells sense that the Source Energy Level is sufficiently high and no further conversion is needed, causing them to stop functioning.

Over time, the efficiency of the body cells' mitochondria in converting Source Energy decreases more and more, and once the injection of the Superpower Potion stops, the body's Source Energy Level drops sharply, ultimately leading to a drop in Energy Level.

The Abyss Meat Tumor is straightforward; it simply does not have the capacity to convert Source Energy, so there are no side effects related to the decrease in mitochondrial conversion efficiency.

Inject as much Source Energy as you want, and it will be used up, without the creature producing any Source Energy on its own.

One must admit.

The solutions provided by Researcher Clarence indeed dealt with the side effects of the Superpower Potion, but they were all useless solutions.

Strictly speaking, transplanting Abyss Meat Tumor cells is a barely viable solution.

As long as humans can control the Abyss Meat Tumor, they could transplant these terrible cells into the body.

If the transplantation was successful, then one could inject the Abyss Meat Tumor cells with the Superpower Potion incessantly, the amount injected equating to the amount of Source Energy available for use.

The higher the Source Energy Level injected, the higher the Energy Level the Abyss Meat Tumor cells can release.

This indeed seems like a feasible solution.

However, once control is lost over the Abyss Meat Tumor, it can proliferate indefinitely and even consume all the organic matter on an entire planet.

One must then ask, does human technological power have the capability to control such a terrifying thing as the Abyss Meat Tumor?

The Creator Organization, in order to achieve their goals by any means necessary, is crazed but not insane.

Clearly, transplanting the dangerous Abyss Meat Tumor cells is not what they want.

Pharaoh fell silent for a long time before asking again, "Is there another solution?"

This time, Researcher Clarence actually used an emotional electronic tone to reply, "Within my range of knowledge, there is no plan that can completely eliminate the side effects of the potion, only through iteration can the side effects be reduced."

After thinking for a moment, Pharaoh said, "Then give me the plan that reduces side effects, the best one."

Upon hearing the request, Researcher Clarence agreed, "Okay, the system is analyzing and calculating to present the best solution. The technical consultancy fee for this time is twenty-three million Star Circle Currency..."

He even quoted the technical consultancy fee.

But quickly, he added another sentence, "However, since you are robbing us, there is no need to pay the consultancy fee. This sum will be used as a basis for the ruling. Calculation complete. How would you like to receive the technical plan?"

"Store it here," Pharaoh said, handing over the Quantum Storage Device.
