Chapter 490: Experiment

A few moments later, Luo Yuan returned to his spaceship.

Back at his residence, Luo Yuan took out the energy crystal from his pocket. The bright radiance emanating from it lit up the entire floor. Luo Yuan had no plans to hand it over to the genetics lab for immediate research. On one hand, the wisdom medicine was crucial for human progression, a top priority for the genetics lab. On the other hand, witnessing such magical, boundless energy, he was tempted to conduct some experiments himself.

If humans were machines and their data were measured, Luo Yuan's power could reach up to 50,000 kilowatts during intense battles. His power was comparable to a mini, thermal power station and to ordinary people, he was like the god they heard of in legends. However, compared to the real deal - an interstellar creature, he was nothing at all. The gap in their energy levels were different by at least five to six orders of magnitude. The huge difference was mainly due to the difference in size as well as the amount of energy within them.

Luo Yuan was not a true interstellar creature. If he was put on the level-scale, he would be level eight. The reason why he could live in space like the interstellar creatures was because of his fusion body. In other aspects, he was significantly behind the interstellar creatures. Examples of these was the ability to efficiently use energy and the control of various forces in the universe. Without the aid of his Will, he would not be able to do anything. He was a pirated version of an interstellar creature

The main difference between the both of them was the boundless energy. As long as he possessed such a source of energy, he would be able to rely less on other materials used to sustain such levels of energy.

”Perhaps, I could put this inside my heart?” Luo Yuan looked at the energy crystal and was tempted. However, he soon gave up on his plan.

Though his plan initially seemed feasible, the crystal was actually a little too big. His heart now only played a small part in his body, having little to no major effects on him anymore. Even blood clots would not affect him at all. There was also no need to concern himself about rejection since it would mainly be due to a different Will imprint, which would be solved as long as he refined it - it would become part of him.

He thought to himself for a moment but soon, he decided against it. It was not because of the importance of this energy crystal to humans. Though interstellar creatures were far and few in between, this was not the only one in the solar system. He had seen more of them when he was on the moon and as long as he spent a little time to look for them using the spaceship, finding them would be inevitable. Though the interstellar creatures were powerful, against a Glassian spaceship, they had nowhere to run. They could be easily killed for more energy crystals.

The only concern for him was the possibility of the powerful energy overwhelming his body, causing him to explode as soon as he transplanted the energy crystal into his body. After all, it was meant to supply energy to a giant that weighed tens of millions of tons. If it was transplanted into his body, it would be like fixing an aircraft engine onto a bicycle. The result would be catastrophic.

The safest route was to master its structure and convert it into a miniaturized version. Fortunately, there were no current threats to humans at this moment, allowing him the luxury of having sufficient time to conduct further research on the energy crystal.

He used his Will to peer into the energy crystal and found after his inspection that the interior of the energy crystal was not solid but was hollow. Its structure had intricate patterns with billions of nano-clusters in the shape of diamonds that formed a beautiful, natural, three-dimensional pattern. Just looking at it made him dizzy. His Will was still not at a level where he could see the structure of atoms so he was unable to see what the energy crystal was made of. There was a microscope in the experiment lab but that was the only one the humans had left, making it very precious. Since they had yet to fully figure out the Glassian lab equipment, that single high-end equipment was shared among all the labs. He did not want to borrow it as that would be selfish.
