After more than half a year, Ian's most obvious feeling about Shark is that it has indeed become 'smarter'.

After becoming a second-level monster, and having the source of thunder and various rare metal solutions to promote the development of the nervous system, Shark's thinking has become much more flexible.

This can be heard from the fact that the other person can communicate with him happily.

[Boss, look, the egg is shaking! 】

Shark wants to show off to Ian the results of his care over this period of time. Its words have become regular, its meaning is clear, and its thinking is very coherent.

The only drawback may be that once Shark starts talking, he can't control his levitating flight.

With a movement of its head, it fell directly back into the crystal lake from mid-air, splashing water all over the cave and causing the clear water to lap against the rock wall.

normal. Shark Shark has just recently learned electromagnetic levitation. It does not feel there is anything shameful about this, but continues to communicate with Ian: [The energy and density are increasing, and the lake and island are very comfortable]

These are not real languages, but some information perceived through psychic and spiritual communication.

Shark Shark's meaning was obvious. The source of energy in the crystal lake was rising, and both the lake water and the crystal island in the center made it feel very comfortable.

Moreover, because of the upgrade to the steel-armored shark, the current shark can actually leave the sea and live on land after electromagnetic levitation, as long as the source of energy in the body is not lost.

After all, the Steel Shark is essentially an earth-type monster that lives in the water. The reason why it needs to live in the water is simply because it has no organs to move on the road. With its body density, it may be able to float in the water with its hydrogen cavity. , once you come to land... Unless you hang a big balloon and turn it into a shark airship, you won't be able to move at all.

But now, with the means of electromagnetic movement, it has broken through the limitations of the environment and has completely become an all-powerful species that can dominate the sea, land and air!

"As long as you can practice flying well, I will take you to eat delicious food on land!"

Ian praised Shark very well, and after eliciting a lot of oohs and aahs, he then began to ask Shark about the situation around the Great Labyrinth and the South China Sea that he had observed recently, except for the dragon eggs.

Under Shasha's confusing but surprisingly clear description, Ian understood the current situation.

From the Fluorescent Sea to the Southern Ocean, in the sea area around Odell Reef, which is the main distribution area of ​​the Sequoia Base, a huge psychic field is taking shape, which is the result of the operation of the entire Sequoia Base's internal furnace.

Various kinds of magical beasts began to appear, but most of them were the first-generation magical beasts that mutated under the influence of the source material.

There are only a few that can truly form a stable group of Warcraft that can even be called the first level.

It is only foreseeable that in more than ten years, the South China Sea will become an area with extremely rich products.

Now Ian somewhat understood why the controlled Maze Breeding Factory had become a strategic location for a big force.

Because it can continuously provide a large amount of low-energy-level Warcraft materials, and even through long-term cultivation, it can obtain Warcraft materials around the fourth energy level such as crystal dragons.

In this way, a country's stable strategic resources are secured, and it is with these resources that they can temporarily cultivate a large number of military sublimates to fight wars.

Most of the wild monsters are related to the maze. They control the resources of the maze by virtue of their status as the master of the maze, and then gradually become powerful titan creatures.

After knowing this, Ian has completed a lot of information about the maze.

But precisely because of this, doubts arise.

"Why does the labyrinth produce so much sefirah?"

The simplest answer is that most of the maze's predecessors are the relics of some pre-era civilizations, or the crash points of alien spaceships similar to the Spark spacecraft.

Their energy system will naturally overflow a large amount of source matter, thereby giving birth to an ecosystem surrounding it, which is the source of the labyrinth ecology.

But can sefirah be created so easily?

With the operation of the energy furnace, can it be produced so easily?

Ian felt something was not normal.

If just a nuclear furnace or some other energy source can stably produce a large amount of source matter, then the pre-epoch civilization should not be limited to the third energy level... Their individual strength will at least reach the fourth energy level. That's right.

Moreover, every large laboratory must be wary of its own labyrinth - what a civilization needs is a stable experimental site, not the maze dungeons like today.

But Ian did not see relevant defensive countermeasures in these areas.

This proves that before the Skyfall disaster, the energy system of the pre-epochal civilization most likely had nothing to do with the source matter.

Especially since Ian now knows that the superior situation around Xiahui Lake is precisely because there is a 'Nether Crystal Engine' at the bottom of the lake... and the excess source matter brought by the Nether Crystal Engine may even lead to the extinction of surrounding creatures.

If the energy furnace core of the pre-era civilization also had a similar effect, even if it was a much weaker effect, there should not be any countermeasures.

The disaster of falling from the sky may not only change Terra's ecological environment...

It even completely changed part of Terra's physical environment!

At least, it may form a giant spiritual energy field on a planetary basis, making the birth of sefirah easier.

This phenomenon can also explain why Terra can support the existence of so many high-energy creatures.

Judging from the truth of the sky-falling disaster that Ian observed with the silver chip, this is not an exaggeration at all.

certainly.

These are all vague guesses in Ian's mind. He is just guessing, and there is no guarantee that they are correct.

But on the other hand, in addition to releasing light and heat, the sun is also releasing source matter, and the source matter itself is an extremely high-density energy...

In other words, do the stars in the Terran Universe release a little too much energy?

So much energy, except for the most basic light and heat, most of it exists in the stable form of source matter, so it has no sense of existence.

But Ian believes that if all the source matter contained in Terra is reduced to pure heat, it will be enough to burn the entire Terra into a lava hell.

The source matter contained in the star, if it explodes out of control, is enough to create a supernova explosion!

"etc!"

Ian suddenly thought of part of the Gushan Conference that he knew when he first entered the imperial capital.

Could it be that the supernova explosion predicted by the great prophet of the Hall of All Souls was...

So, are Terra's stars...

"No, we don't have enough information right now to be sure."

Ian shook his head slightly and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart: "When the gamma ray stream formed by the supernova explosion really reaches Terra, it will not be too late to observe the phenomenon - guessing now is just to scare yourself."

Taking a deep breath, Ian still had a lot of doubts in his heart.

Regardless of whether his guess is true or false, there is a large amount of energy in the Terra universe that has been converted into the form of source matter.

The source of matter serves as a medium to transform these powers into forms that ordinary beings can use, thus allowing them to gain superhuman divine power.

Here comes the problem.

——So where does such huge energy come from?

——Is this simple and easy-to-understand (relative to its essence) operation method natural or man-made?

All the problems are too many and complex.

But for Ian, there is actually only one thing he wants to do now.

"The speed of light... Now I finally have a territory and the basic conditions for conducting various large-scale experiments - I have to measure the speed of light in the world of Terra!"

Ian never took it for granted that the various constants of the Terran universe were the same as those of the Earth's universe.

Just kidding, the Warcraft in this world can directly control even the gravitational magnetic field. The transformation of various environments and creatures by the source of matter allows them to become super creatures.

If all of this is formed naturally, how can the constants of this universe be exactly the same as those of the earth?

It must be more or less the same, some constants are different.

If all this is not a natural formation, but as Ian said when communicating with Adelbert, 'the inscriptions and sefirot are simple procedures created by an advanced civilization'... then it should be even more suspicious.

A civilization that can transform the universe into what it is today, who knows if they will change some constants to make the universe and the world adapt to themselves?

There are not many tools required to measure the speed of light. The more common one is the 'rotating octagonal prism method'.

It requires a specially designed octagonal prism, concave mirror and plane mirror, as well as a rotating mechanical structure. Because it requires extremely high precision, it is basically impossible to obtain it in Harrison Port.

Although the Imperial Capital had the conditions, Ian didn't have time to do it at that time.

Now back to the territory, it’s time to spend some money to do something.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also a star orbit measurement algorithm, but that requires a star observation tower to continuously observe the intersection of the orbits of star satellites and the planet where they are located. It takes a long time and the error is very large, but it can also be used as a reference.

In particular, Ian believes that Terra's stargazers should have already measured the speed of light using this method, and they can just ask Farr when they have time.

Ian thought about many issues through the labyrinth sefirah, many of which were about key issues such as the nature of the universe, the future of the planet, and the survival of all living beings.

But for Shark, all this has only one outcome.

——The food becomes more and more delicious!

During the recent period, Shark Shark, apart from crashing into ships that wanted to explore the Great Maze of the South China Sea, basically ate every day. The energy accumulated in his body became more and more abundant, and he even quickly learned magnetic levitation and Thunder and other related abilities.

However, that's about it - although Shark Shark is smart, he is not a human being who has learned knowledge and can use various tools and potions to strengthen himself.

Its strength will be stuck here, and it will take a long time to undergo essential transformation.

But Ian is human.

Ian feels that he can also make Shark stronger.

"Shark Shark, next, I will teach you a structure - you must use your own source material to inscribe this inscription structure called 'Magnetic Storm Generator' on a blank part of your body in your own body. ...Don’t be afraid of being slow, I believe you can do it.”

Ian told Shark the structure of the source of matter he obtained from the Mountain Man's Thunder Sword, as well as the structure of the magnetic storm generator he had optimized.

After all, it is a metal-based life. Unlike ordinary humans, it can directly regard its body as a weapon to engrave various inscriptions and source structures.

This process may be a bit painful, but Ian also made it clear to Shark that the other party is obviously not a monster that is afraid of pain.

Rather, which monster would give up its power because of pain?

【Whoa whoa! 】

Although the shark didn't understand it, it completely understood that the structure Ian told it was to make it stronger. Immediately, the crystal lake became lively because there was a steel-armored shark surrounding it excitedly. The crystal island swam rapidly and even formed a large whirlpool.

"Haha, study hard and build it in your own body - don't be afraid of wasting the essence. You can't reach the third level if you accumulate the essence now. You have to become smarter and condense your soul... When you become more Be smart, after you have a complete soul, I will teach you the 'soul structure'!"

Ian couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw Shark Shark looking so happy - although it was for the purpose of becoming stronger, this eagerness to learn was really gratifying.

The white-haired boy smiled and said: "When your soul structure is formed, and you have sufficient computing power, you will definitely not be inferior to humans in terms of learning ability and wisdom."

"And this new magnetic storm structure you condensed, maybe..."

Thinking of this, Ian was suddenly startled, and then said slowly: "It's just a new one, simple, with only fixed power and not much growth potential..."

"But it can indeed be regarded as a sublimated organ... a sublimated organ?"

"A structure similar to half a magic potion and a realm of extremes!"

Ian suddenly realized that he seemed to have found it.

Found a way to convert 'computing power' into 'force'!
