Chapter 457: A Special Key

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

A few months later.

All the “political parties” of the Protoss on Earth had been executed. None were left alive.

The evil rebellion that was recorded in the history of the Protoss had been resolved. It was represented by a scant few strokes in the history books and the specifics of the rebellion were brief.

Naturally, the victors were just. After seeing their hope light up only to be quickly extinguished, the vast numbers of the lower class Protoss returned to their lives full of darkness. They could only struggle for survival in the world where only the strong were respected.

After completing his task, that powerful Sage removed the defensive spell formation and disappeared in a flash of light. No one knew where he went.

Besides the certainty of being extremely terrified in this climate of fear, the Chen family had passed this frightening period without experiencing any serious losses.

Afterward, they quickly got their people to prepare gifts for the presentation. They found the Tonghuang and Mugu clans again and approached them to give their apologies. They took the initiative to offer their stakes and benefits. Their previous asylum relationship was restored.

Since then, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

The Chen family still did not implement any counter-attacks against the Protoss, nor did they regain their status. Instead, under the potential threat of the unit force formed by the Sages, they became even more low-key than before.

“Send them away.”

“Send the hundred-plus Institute-trained geniuses to the Zhuo planet.”

Zhuo was a planet located 105 light-years away, and it was relatively remote. However, it was a planet with an area of one-billion square kilometers that was also rich in water resources. After its transformation was completed, countless living areas could be developed.

“The proportion of human beings who are suitable for spiritual cultivation is very low. There are only about one in a thousand. If they were to stay on Earth as they secretly develop their skills, someone would notice a problem sooner or later as their spiritual cultivation progresses at a ridiculous speed. I hope that those masterminds can grow in a stable and environment free from anxieties.”

“Grandfather, if the geniuses are all sent away, who will keep us safe? We can’t send all of them away,” Chen Junfeng said.

For days, he had been having a terrible headache as he struggled to ensure the safety of the Chen family’s fortress. In the end, he had reached a rather negative conclusion.

He would feel a little better if they had a large number of geniuses in their hands, but Chen Jin was asking for all of them to be sent away?

Wouldn’t they be fully putting themselves in harm’s way?

It would be better to leave a dozen geniuses on Earth, even three to five of them would be good enough.

Chen Jin shook his head, “It’s useless. A genius who has not realized his full potential is not a genius. If their spiritual cultivation has not reached a level comparable to the practitioners from the Shenguang Order, it makes no difference if they stayed on Earth or not. It’s better to send them away and have them return to Earth when they are strong enough. Only in this way can they play the role they are meant to play.”

Hence, Earth was just a “production” base.

“Okay, then.”

Chen Junfeng nodded in disappointment, “I will arrange a spaceship tomorrow to send them to the Zhuo planet.”

A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in his heart. He had hope; hope that was rarely felt and what he had thought was the imminent dawn of their counter-attack. But he did not expect that events would suddenly take such a big and unexpected turn. The internal administration and rulers of the Protoss were not thrown into chaos. Also, a Sage had suddenly arrived on Earth, forcing the Chen family to continue to keep their heads down.

They still had to pay their protection fees and put on a subservient act for a very long time.

Oh, how unwilling and unsatisfied he felt.

…

A few days later.

A spaceship carrying hundreds of geniuses left the earth. It first went to Mars, where they then took a super-light speed spaceship to the Zhuo planet hundreds of light-years away.

At the same time.

The Chen family also sent a small research spaceship straight into outer space It sped towards a time-space crack less than 10,000 kilometers from Earth.

It was through this temporarily opened crack that the concentration of the natural spiritual energy on the surface of Earth had increased by hundreds of times in just one year.

It had enabled Earth to have a high concentration of natural spiritual energy and to become a paradise.

It was extremely beneficial to the cultivation of the practitioners.

It could also be considered as welfare brought to Earth by that Sage.

In the beginning, the gas leaking through the space-time crack was mostly dominated by the beneficial “natural spiritual energy,” and the primordial particles were a very small component of the gas.

But almost a year had passed, and the natural spiritual energy had gradually become weaker.

The concentration and density of the primordial particles had begun to increase.

Towards the end, the primordial particles had slowly become the main component of the gas leaking through the time-space crack.

The research spacecraft dispatched by the Chen family was steered into the center of the time-space crack. An instrument was extended from the spacecraft to take measurements.

The concentration of the primordial particles had exceeded 90%.

The measurements in some areas were even more ridiculous; they consisted almost purely of primordial particles.

“Let’s start collecting them!”

Some instruments were stretched out from the research spacecraft, and just like straws, they began to vigorously suck up the gas particles.

The gas was made up of a large number of primordial particles were placed into multiple jars that were tightly sealed.

“Start the compression process.”

“We are at one standard atmosphere… Two standard atmosphere…”

“At 15 standard atmosphere, the primordial particles start to transform into a gel state from a gaseous state.”

“At 150 standard atmosphere, the primordial particles are completely compressed into a solid-state. It has a light grey appearance with a certain degree of gloss.”

“As compression continues into three hundred standard atmosphere, the primordial particles are transformed from a solid-state into a semi-transparent crystal state. Its density is now 100,000 times greater than what it was previously. This compression rate is extremely high; it is equivalent to compressing an elephant into the size of a cicada. The crystal formed in the latter half of the compression process can be labeled as the densest material. Moreover, it has very stable properties. The crystallized particles of the primordial chaos can maintain its crystallized state in an environment of low atmospheric pressure and normal temperatures.”

“Fantastic, it’s a very fantastical substance.”

Collect, continue to collect them!

The research spacecraft stopped at the time-space crack for several days. In total, it had compressed more than 100 primordial crystals (each crystal was as large as an adult’s fist and weighed more than a hundred kilograms). These were brought back to Earth, ready for research to be conducted on them.

Chen Jin took 50 of them and brought them to Haierfa.

…

Haierfa.

Crater City.

Alice and Nuwa had spent a few months studying the primordial crystals brought back by Chen Jin.

“Nuwa, have you achieved any results? Could those primordial crystals produce any significant effects or do they have any dramatic functions?” Chen Jin would ask this question every once in a while, hoping to get some exciting good news.

But…

“Currently, I still have not found any significant effects produced by those crystals or any dramatic functions that it can do. But it can be put to several small uses,” said Nuwa.

“Tell me about it.”

“The physical and chemical characteristics of the primordial crystal are very stable and it does not react with any substances. It cannot be eroded by strong acids and alkali, so it can be used to make special receptacles to contain some dangerous chemicals.”

“It can act as a receptacle…. and what else?” What other function did it have?

“The primordial crystal has a very high density. It will only rapidly decompose into the primordial particles in its gaseous state at high temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees. During this process, it will generate at extremely fast speeds so it can be used as the working fluid of an engine, or even the propellant for a rocket. Thus, it can be used to improve the performance of conventional military equipment such as aircraft, armor, and missiles.”

“Military equipment, conventional weapons….. This is not powerful enough, are there no more powerful uses?” Chen Jin was somewhat disappointed.

“For the time being, no. What kind of function do you have in mind?” asked Nuwa.

“Can it be used directly for spiritual cultivation like the spirit stones? It would be best if we could develop a manual such as ‘Formula for Cultivating with the Primordial Chaos’ so that people can cultivate within the primordial chaos.”

“Um… I’m afraid that’s not possible. The nature of the primordial particle is too lazy. It can hardly sustain much power that is given off during our mental processes. Although it could theoretically replace the natural spiritual energy in its circulation and workings inside the human body, to use the power generated by the gas of the primordial chaos is problematic. Its usability may only be a hundredth or a thousandth of other celestial particles. The primordial particle immediately becomes weak, and there is almost no future for it,” said Nuwa.

“But didn’t some experts discover that primordial particles are the result of the polymerization of a variety of celestial particles? If the polymerization bonds are broken and the primordial chaos subsequently decompose, wouldn’t we get a variety of high-energy celestial particles? A lump of primordial crystal may decompose into many spirit stones with pure compositions.”

“Yes, you can put it that way. But Master,” Nuwa shook her head and said helplessly, “I believe you should have heard of the concept called ‘entropy.’ Entropy behaves in the same way in any universe. That is, it’s easy to go from high to low, but difficult to go from low to high.”

“Even if I can break the polymerization bonds of the primordial particles and decompose the chaos into a variety of spiritual energies using a variety of methods, the energy consumed by this decomposition process is far greater than the power that is finally obtained; and ultimately, the gains will not be worth the loss.”

“Not be worth the loss?”

Chen Jin smiled calmly and shook his head, “I don’t think so. As long as sufficient natural spiritual energy can be produced, it will represent a big gain for me. I don’t care about any entropy. How much spiritual energy can I use by myself? If my needs are satisfied, what does it matter if the entropy of this universe is sped up for a few seconds?”

“So, do you have a way to turn those primordial crystals into the natural spiritual energy that I want?”

Chen Jin looked at Nuwa who said, “Let me think about it, Master.”

Nuwa entered the state of high-speed computing. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, “I’ve found a way, Master!”

“The conditions for the reverse fission of the primordial particles are a combination of high temperatures and high energy. We can build a superfusion nuclear power plant with a power of 1 trillion megawatts, in which the flow of hydrogen atoms will be accelerated to 0.999 times the speed of light via strong magnetic constraints. Then the crystal of the primordial chaos will be put into it so the primordial particles can participate in the reaction.”

“Therefore, in the collision process of the stream of particles, the hydrogen atoms would be fused to form heavy elements, and those primordial particles will split into a variety of celestial particles and it will produce an unending stream of spiritual energies.”

“According to my calculations, in theory, the spiritual energy produced every day by this nuclear power plant would be enough to meet the demands of a practitioner from the Shenguang Order.”

“Of course, if we could increase the power generation of the nuclear plant to the extent where it is the same as the amount of energy given off by a small star, then the spiritual energy produced could even be used to maintain a Sage.”

Hearing these words, Chen Jin felt excited and a little incredulous.

Could they produce spiritual energy with a nuclear power plant and the primordial crystals? How could it be so simple? If people wanted to do this, why didn’t anyone on Earth think of this method and do it?

“Master, this method is only suitable for use in the universe where Haierfa is. It is ineffective on Earth.”

Nuwa explained, “You probably know that after the Revival of Magical Powers on Earth, large numbers of celestial particles have since filled every corner of Earth and polluted all the substances. The most direct consequence is that under the unusual impact of the force field of the celestial particles, the speed of the fusion reaction has slowed down. Hence, the nuclear bombs with their great power in the past have lost all their effects.”

“Even if the brightness of the stars has been reduced by 1.5%. It is difficult for the power generated by the nuclear fusion power stations in the human world to exceed the limit of one-billion megawatts.”

“But this universe has not been subjected to pollution. This is still a purely material universe, so we can build a nuclear reactor that meets the requirements; a factory for the transformation of the primordial particles into spiritual energy.”

“This is the advantage that we have in this universe, and it is also the ideal environment that can never be created on Earth.”

So it was like this!

Chen Jin was excited that he made a fist and slammed it into the palm of his other hand!

Great, this was awesome! Since the Revival of Magical Powers on Earth, many people developed extraordinary powers. This had caused him to feel a little despondent as he thought that the value of Haiefa’s universe had weakened. He thought that there was not much on which to rely.

It seemed that this was not the case at all!

Not only could Haierfa help him, but it could even become a production base for spiritual energy, which would continue to supply him with spiritual energy at the expense of accelerating the entropy of the universe.

It was equivalent to an amazing key.

“Oh, the decision not to leave was right. Haierfa is always the one that provides me with the greatest assistance and is the most valuable property in my hands! I can never give it up!”

However, after the excitement, he immediately thought of a problem.

“Nuwa, if after the nuclear plant is built, and the amount of spiritual energy produced reaches a certain level, will the celestial particles with their special force fields affect the universe here and even reduce the speed of the fusion reaction?”

After all, the production process described by Nuwa could also be a pollution process.

“Rest assured, Master. I have considered this problem and thought of a solution. The most ideal situation is that all varieties of celestial particles created from the decomposition of primordial particles are all recovered separately in a closed environment and synthesized to form many types of spirit stones with different properties. This would avoid contaminating the production environment.”

“That’s great!”

Chen Jin was overjoyed. Nuwa had considered all the problems. There were even ways to solve the pollution problem, which needed to be done quickly. The project of the giant fusion power station project would begin immediately!

“Yes, Master, I’ll immediately assemble the resources and start this project. I’ll strive to complete this project within two years.”

“Hmm~” Chen Jin nodded. In his sudden flash of understanding, he thought he saw an endless stream of spirit stones floating in front of his eyes.

He couldn’t help but smile.

…

However, after only a few peaceful days, an emergency interstellar dispatch was sent to him.

Mu Yunhua appeared on the screen in front of him, wearing a grave and deeply worried expression.

“What happened, Yun?” Chen Jin asked.

“Gold, my federation, has been attacked by mysterious higher civilization!”

Mu Yunhua said urgently, “That mysterious civilization is very powerful, and it also has the super-light speed curvature engine technology. Their fleet is very large, they probably have more than 100,000 ships! Not only do they have powerful capabilities, but they also attacked my All-Stars Federation without declaring war in the first place. They launched surprise attacks on over 100 border galaxies of my Federation in a flash and easily tore apart the resistance of those border fleets. They have now occupied those galaxies.”

“Not only that, but they’ve also adopted the role of the liberators and rescued the Selains, who have since been relegated slaves, saying that they want to help the Selains get revenge.”

“Gold, this is a powerful enemy, the likes that have never been witnessed, we may not be their match at all! We’re friends, please help me!”
