Back in the department, Roland put the green crystal-like object on the table and said, "All previous research processes are suspended. Now let's study what this is."
Looking at the green crystal stick, Su Minluo picked it up and said, "Is there anything easy to detect here? Is it something like green agate or green crystal, or is it of relatively high purity... Hey."
After getting it, she found that something seemed wrong.
"Is this jade?" she said doubtfully.
It's not the same feeling as Roland.
When Roland took it in his hand, he only felt full of energy. Because this sense was too prominent for him, it diluted other feelings.
But in Su Minluo's hands, she couldn't feel the energy, so she felt that this thing was warm and smooth, like the legendary warm jade.
Moreover, this thing is quite heavy and translucent, giving people a very clear feeling at the same time.
"It's not jade, it's an energy bar." Roland replied.
Um? ?
All the research members in the conference room looked surprised.
"It is indeed an energy bar." Roland explained: "I can absorb this thing. If it is completely absorbed, my strength will increase to a very powerful level!"
"How awesome is it?" Su Minluo's eyes lit up again.
"Attack with all your strength and it will probably blow up the entire base." Roland smiled.
"This thing has so much energy?" All the researchers present were shocked.
They know very well how big this base is and how good the defense facilities inside are.
That is an underground facility that can withstand the explosion of a 100,000-ton TNT-equivalent nuclear bomb directly above it.
As long as Director Huang absorbs this thing, he can make this place famous
"It sounds incredible!" Su Minluo crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, thought for a moment, and said, "I can't believe that if your feeling, director, is correct, then it is indeed worthy of our study."
Other study members agreed.
Although this thing looks like a crystal rod on the surface, Director Huang himself is not a normal person. He said this thing is an energy bar, so it must be an energy bar.
I just don’t know what kind of energy it is.
With new research projects in hand, researchers are even more excited.
I tried some simple knocking tests in a safe place and confirmed that this thing is very hard and contains inert energy and will not explode casually.
So they applied to borrow the best cutting instrument in the base... They wanted to cut some powder or small pieces from the stick for enlargement research.
As a result... neither laser cutting nor physical cutting could get even a tiny bit of powder on the crystal rod.
"This is too outrageous." Everyone was shocked: "What is this?"
Then go directly to the large detection instrument.
The result... All detection instruments showed a mosaic.
Then I saw with the naked eye that this thing was a green crystal rod again.
Hmm... This strange phenomenon caused discussion throughout the base.
Subsequently, the crystal rod was transferred to more than a dozen research laboratories within more than a month, but no progress was made.
Finally it returned to Roland's hands.
And this thing is jokingly called a semi-black box energy bar, which completely goes against common sense.
This is the first time this thing has appeared in this world. Many research departments have applied to intercept it for research. Even if it cannot be researched now, when technology develops to a certain level, there will definitely be breakthroughs or discoveries.
But the answer from above was: This is Comrade Huang Wenwei's personal belongings, which he can keep and use by himself.
It’s another day off from get off work.
In the dormitory, Roland looked at the energy bars lying horizontally on the table. Roland stretched out his hand and used his mental power to communicate with the energy.
Unlike magic, this energy is very, very pure, and seems to be able to be transformed into any energy Roland has, as long as he is willing.
Whether it's magic, light, or electricity.
The level of this energy is quite high.
Logically speaking... it would be better to absorb this energy, but the problem is that Roland cannot directly absorb this seemingly higher-level energy.
Must be transformed.
Closing his eyes and communicating with his spiritual power, the energy Roland saw was not a green stick, but a small green globe.
There is also a detailed surface appearance on it!
This... Roland tried to absorb some power, and the amount of transformation felt to be more than ten times that of his own demon transformation.
As expected, it was pure. After absorbing it for a while, Roland felt that it was full of energy. If it continued to be transformed, something bad would probably happen.
For example, death by explosion or something.
This is mainly about the real body, which is still not good compared to the game.
Then he opened his eyes and found that the energy bar...had not changed at all.
Then he picked up the energy bar, which seemed to still have the same weight.
He frowned, then went to the research room again, weighed the thing, and found that it was exactly the same as before.
Su Minluo and a group of researchers are still in the research laboratory. Because the research on energy bars is no longer in progress, the previous research project has been restarted.
Seeing Roland standing in front of the weighing machine, Su Minluo walked over and asked, "Any new discoveries, Director Huang?"
"I absorbed a lot of energy just now." Roland pointed to the crystal rod: "But its weight has not changed at all."
"Is it possible that the amount absorbed is not enough?"
Roland nodded: "It's possible that the amount lost is not enough for the weighing machine to react. But is it possible that it is another reason, that it will replenish energy on its own?"
Su Minluo was stunned for a moment: "How is this possible? Isn't this a perpetual motion machine?"
"You can't say that a black hole is a perpetual motion machine." Roland spread his hands.
"You mean, it's similar to a black hole, with the ability for large-mass objects to absorb small-mass objects?" Su Minluo thought for a while and raised a new question: "But if that's the case, its weight should be getting bigger and bigger. "
"Maybe there is an upper limit for adsorption?" Roland touched the surface of the crystal rod with his hand, and it felt unusually smooth.
Su Minluo thought for a while and said, "How about I recruit a few people and assist the director to do research on this? You continue to absorb it for a while and see if there is any change in its weight or appearance!"
"That's it."
After that, Roland would extract a certain amount of energy from the crystal rod at regular intervals every day and convert it into magic power.
His strength is growing at an exaggerated rate every day.
What's even more outrageous is that he found that his weight had increased significantly, but his figure had not changed much.
Now he still looks skinny, barely muscular, but weighs 97 kilograms. In just over a month, he has actually gained about 15 kilograms.
Moreover, during this period, his diet was regular and healthy, and he did not overeat at all.
"This is incredible."
After taking a tube of Roland's blood and checking his bone density, Su Minluo took the report and marveled: "Your physical fitness has far surpassed that of the most powerful black athletes, and that's because you didn't use enhancement magic. Under the circumstances. But there are also side effects. If you jump into the water, you will probably sink directly to the bottom. The density is too high, so don’t go swimming casually in the future."
Roland chuckled: "I can float and lose weight. I can also breathe underwater."
"Magic is really omnipotent." Su Minluo measured Roland's height: "It's still the same as before, 179cm. In addition to the physical body, director, what other changes do you feel? For example, mentally. By the way, I haven't seen you recently. Went to the bottom floor of the base to test magic."
"I don't dare anymore." Roland shook his head: "Now my strength has increased sharply, but the control of this body can't keep up. I need to rest for a while to get used to it."
"I see." Su Minluo looked at Roland and his body enviously: "You are already a superman in the true sense, and your lifespan is expected to be very, very long."
He is obviously 30 years old, but Roland's blood test and bone age test all prove that his actual physical age is about 17 years old.
Who doesn’t want to have a young and healthy body, especially Su Minluo, who is almost 33 years old.
Whether it is from the perspective of female beauty or from the perspective of one's own work needs, the body of a 33-year-old is definitely not as good as when she was in her 20s when she just left school.
The substance extracted from Roland's essence, internally codenamed Huang's Factor, has been produced in large quantities and has also created a large amount of income and foreign exchange. However, it can only delay aging, but it cannot reverse aging like Roland. physical age in years.
There must be other substances or energies at play, and other researchers agree that it should be the energy of 'magic'.
After a few days of ordinary research, a group of guests from other research institutes came to the base.
The leader was an old man with white hair. He said kindly: "Comrade Huang, I have heard of your name in the central region. Thank you very much."
"Thank you for what?" Roland felt a little strange: "This is the first time you and I have met."
The old man chuckled: "How old do you think I am?"
"Probably around sixty years old." Roland looked at the other person carefully for a while and guessed from the luster of his skin and appearance: "Old man, you are in good spirits."
"I'm already eighty-seven years old." The old man smiled.
Roland was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
"I have been lying in bed for two years before, and I am ready to rest." The old man looked at Roland gratefully: "Later, after being injected with Huang's factor, I was able to get up and work for a few more years. If I don't finish something, I Even if I run out of energy, I won’t close my eyes.”
Roland understood that the other party had something serious to ask of him. He smiled and said: "Old man, please feel free to ask, as long as I can do it, I will help you."
"You should have heard of the lunar development plan." The old man asked.
Roland nodded: "I saw it mentioned in the news that we are preparing to establish a small scientific research base on the moon."
"The previous landings on the far side of the moon, as well as the manned moon landing plan that is now being launched, are all preparations for building a lunar base." The old man took a sip of warm water and said slowly: "We have done most of the work. It's ready, all that's left is to complete it step by step and verify it. But there is Buju, and we have never been sure."
Roland listened quietly.
"You also know that materials are one of the few shortcomings in our country." The old man sighed: "If you want to build a base on the moon, of course you have to divide it into several batches at the beginning. Transport the materials up and assemble them. Considering the relatively harsh vacuum environment on the moon and the rocket's capacity, our building materials must be light enough, resistant to cold, heat, radiation, etc., and have enough Hardness and toughness. There are almost no materials that can meet these requirements at the same time. Even if we now infer that several materials can barely be used, they are not up to standard in some properties and have shortcomings. It is not insufficient radiation resistance, or It’s just too heavy.”
"I heard that Bald Eagle also has a plan in this regard. Their solution is to pre-mix the materials into a gel, then move a small 3D printer to it and slowly print out the building. Of course, this is the uncle's idea on the Internet. I don’t know if the news is true or not,” Roland said.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, this is certainly a good method, but we don't have that kind of material technology." The old man spread his hands and said helplessly: "And according to our calculations, the lunar base built by this method of Bald Eagle is estimated to be only five It will be damaged in six years. After all, the forging capacity of the 3D printer is limited, which means that the building structure is not very reliable. We are different from them. We have to do the best we can and find a way to make the base stand on it. More than ten or twenty years.”
"Then what?" Roland asked.
"We have been suffering from the lack of perfect materials. We had planned to bite the bullet before, with the idea that the lunar base could be used for ten years. But we did not expect that a special stone slab flowed into our research room the year before last." The old man looked at Roland and smiled happily: "It is very light. With the normal density of soil, under the same volume, its hardness and toughness, resistance to radiation, cold and heat, etc., are far superior to those of special metals of the same volume. It is The most perfect building material we know of."
Roland knew what was going on.
"How many such slates are needed?" Roland smiled: "I can still provide dozens of tons."
"Hahaha, kid, you are so cool." The old man stood up and said excitedly: "You follow me back to the base and help us make mortise and tenon parts. The more you do, the better. We have already produced the mold for you. .”
"A lunar base with a mortise and tenon structure?" Roland was shocked: "It's really simple, it doesn't even need nails, and there's no problem with the structural stability, but how to deal with the sealing?"
"The bald eagle can transport a small 3D printer up, can't we?" The old man laughed and said, "Our 3D printer does nothing else but spray special sealing materials and structures. Isn't that enough? ?"
Roland gave a thumbs up, quite impressed.
If a 3D printer is used for sealing, the reliability will indeed be greatly improved.
"Okay, if you agree, come with us quickly. The transfer order has been sent a long time ago. As long as you nod, the transfer order will go through directly." The old man waved his hand, looking excited, and he wanted to capture Roland and return him to his project immediately. group.
