Chapter 436: Solving Problems

Looking at what was described in the system, the skin weighed only 300 kilograms but Luo Yuan felt that it was a lot heavier.

Luo Yuan estimated that its weight was at least 10 tons when he moved the skin. Since the system would not make such an error, the remaining 9.7 tons that Luo Yuan could feel was probably the space anchor ability of the skin.

It felt like an awl that was nailed firmly in space and one would not be able to move it without great strength. To be honest, despite Luo Yuan’s understanding of space, it was his first time witnessing power such as this.

Luo Yuan looked happy as the skill was quite useful to him. As long as he put on clothes that were made of these materials, the weight of his body would increase and he would be less likely to be blown away during a battle.

Before the apocalypse, humans were moderate in size and only certain species were larger than humans. Nevertheless, after the apocalypse, humans were somehow categorized as small sized living organisms. Most of the mutated beasts which included low-level beasts were also larger than human beings.

Just like the space beast Luo Yuan had encountered earlier, he was blown away by the defense of its body before he could even reach it. The weight of the human body weight was too light, rendering the strength of humans useless.

Thanks to the space anchor ability, he would be capable of using his full strength during a battle.

Luo Yuan's strength was certainly not weak at all seeing that his strength is beyond the comprehensions of biology. However, during a battle, he could not fully utilize his strength. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, forces were always acting in opposite direction. When he exerted a force on an object, the object instantaneously exerted a force back on his body. For instance, if he were standing on the ground, the force would be acting down towards the ground.

When the force was small, it would not cause a significant impact on the ground. However, when Luo Yuan could use his full strength in his attacks, the force he would exert would be equivalent to an explosion that was the equivalent of 0.2 tons of TNT. Although this figure might seem insignificant, the explosion caused by an ordinary cruise missile was only equivalent to 0.1 tons of TNT. Therefore, it was imaginable that Luo Yuan had to overcome such strong forces every time he launched an attack. Normal steel floors would not be able to withstand such an impact.

In fact, he always managed to balance himself and had complete control over his movements if he were standing on ground. Despite his attempts to offset the forces that acted on his body, he would cause an explosion on the ground and form a huge pit. However, by doing so, the forces that acted on his body would be offset by him.

On the other hand, it would seem like disaster would strike if he were to fight in space. If he struck a single blow, his body would be blown away due to the lack of gravity, restricting him from fully utilizing his strength.

Of course, there were some disadvantages of materials such as these as the space anchor ability was quite overpowered. If he put on an equipment made from the skin, the effects of his Will would be rendered useless.

Flying with the power of his Will seemed to propel him quite rapidly but it could not generate enough force. Even with his 19 points of Will, it could only generate 300 kilograms of kinetic energy. The only reason why he could travel at such high speeds was primarily due to the Demonic Horse's mane that he used to overcome air resistance.

However, this problem could be overcome with sufficient training of his Will. It would be similar to how he got control over his Zhanmadao when he performed slashes in space after training for a period of time.

...

He roughly removed the marks on his skin that were imprinted by his Will before he took the skin and flew away toward earth via his space-time bubble.

Fortunately, the space anchor ability did not influence Luo Yuan when he flew through the fourth-dimension. After all, the space-time bubble moved the overall space around Luo Yuan and since the skin would only be anchored to space within the bubble, it would not affect his speed at all.

Luo Yuan returned to Hope City after an hour.

Many workers were now hustling and bustling at the construction sites of Hope City. It was only a few cities and it seemed like the entire Hope City had been emptied, making it look like a heap of ruins but the workers had already started rebuilding the factories.

Some of the factories had even started operations even though the construction had yet to be completed.

Each time Luo Yuan passed through the city, he would feel shocked within his core as he could see how hard humans were struggling to survive after the apocalypse.

Before he stepped into his house, he heard an unfamiliar voice.

He hesitated for awhile. He then opened the door and walked in the living room. Everyone stood up immediately. Huang Jiahui and the rest of them were surprised when they saw Luo Yuan walking in while carrying a big black object on his back. At the same time, there were two other people standing up, looking at Luo Yuan in awe.

Luo Yuan had some thoughts in his mind as he took a look at the man and the woman who were obviously working for the government. He immediately put the skin aside and he could feel the atmosphere surrounding them turning to one that was quite depressing.

Despite his efforts in removing the imprinted Will on the skin, the dreadfull breath of the interstellar creature remained and made it difficult for everyone to breath as they felt like a big rock was pressing down on their chest.
