After studying the African-American man named Jim, scientists at the spherical base once again kidnapped several other island residents who began to react to Mako.
After some research, these scientists finally made statistics. There are a total of eighteen island residents who can respond to Mako. The oldest is thirty-five years old, and the youngest is an eleven-year-old. Young people, Yuehua calls these humans with mutated mitochondria in their bodies 'awakened ones'.
After some experiments, these awakened people represented by Jim have more or less enhanced their insights, and their perceptions have become more sensitive than ordinary people, and some outstanding awakened people have similar abilities. With Zhang Heng's ability to move objects through the air, their physical fitness has also begun to become stronger and stronger, much stronger than ordinary people, and their physical potential has also increased significantly. After training, they can even lift more than 500 kilograms. objects, and their response capabilities are far beyond human limits!
The potential and strength of these awakened ones are closely related to the density of midi-chlorians in their bodies, just like the description in "Star Wars" - the sensitivity of the Force is related to the content of the symbiotic tiny life forms 'mid-chlorians' in the life blood. Higher levels indicate greater potential to use the Force, making it easier to become stronger.
After subduing this group of people, Zhang Heng once again released a portion of Mako energy in the center of the island, and created a special instrument that could detect the Mako reaction. According to the test, Zhang Heng found that even if more Mako is put into the same space, the number of awakened people will not increase. From this point, it can be seen that the higher the concentration of Mako, the more people will awaken. , those who can awaken will awaken immediately after coming into contact with Mako for the first time, while those who cannot awaken will not be able to awaken no matter how much Mako they have.
The basic concentration of Mako in the air is roughly 0.23ppt (one percent is 10000ppm, 1ppm=1000ppb, 1ppb=1000ppt), which is almost imperceptible. If it exceeds this concentration, it will change from gas to liquid form, that is Green fluorescence is visible to the naked eye, and Mako can be dissolved in water. When it overflows into the world, it will undergo an ecological cycle with rainwater, and eventually settle into the interior of the continental shelf, blend into rocks and soil, and then overflow again with groundwater. , enters the air and circulates endlessly.
Moreover, Zhang Heng also discovered the most important point - Mako is not non-renewable. If it is only used by awakened people, the midi-chlorians in their bodies can not only absorb the magic, but also synthesize it out of thin air. When their bodies reach the end of their lifespan and gradually die, they will also actively release a certain amount of Mako. It is like a cycle. As the number of awakened people on the earth increases, the reserves of Mako not only do not decrease, but become larger and larger!
Of course, if you use Mako for other purposes, it will only be consumed in vain. Just like in Final Fantasy 7, using Mako to generate electricity, serve as weapon energy, etc. is equivalent to Squeezing the life out of the planet and wasting the magic energy in vain.
After a month of secret experiments, Yuehua finally solved all the mysteries of Mako.
First of all, Mako has the ability to settle and rise. They can rise in liquids and solids, and settle in gases. It is this property that allows it to circulate continuously in the atmosphere and over continents and oceans, but will not settle into the atmosphere. Deep in the earth's core, it will not spill into outer space, just like a naughty child who will only play hide and seek in the interior of the earth.
Secondly, Mako must be maintained at a certain concentration to change the physique of living things on the planet. This concentration is about 0.23ppt. After exceeding this concentration, Mako will continue to overflow until it is evenly dispersed in every corner of the earth. , and if it cannot exceed this value, it can only slightly enhance the physical quality of the creature, but it will not make people become awakened.
Mako soaked in liquid form can directly change human physique, making people's bodies stronger and even beyond the limits of the human body, reaching the level of Superboy. But I don’t know why. Although all the clone warriors under Zhang Heng’s banner have been immersed in magic, none of them have become awakened. They only have a large increase in physical fitness, including Zhang Heng of course.
It is precisely because of this that before conducting this experiment, although Zhang Heng had obtained Mo Zhuo long ago, he had never discovered Mo Zhuo's special ability.
In short, after obtaining the data, Yuehua was finally able to determine that Mako Energy should have another name, and that name is - Force!
After Yuehua's calculations, it would take more than one million cubic meters of magic to fill the real earth. The Marvel plane can produce 8,500 cubic meters of magic every day, which means that it will take about 120 days. In just four months, every corner of the earth can be filled with the basic concentration (0.23ppt) of Mako!
After exceeding this density, the excess Mako will begin to condense into liquid, forming an underground river-like form, which is the so-called River of Life in the world of Final Fantasy 7.
The Mako energy reserves in the Marvel plane can probably fill the two real worlds. According to this density comparison, the Mako energy reserves in the destroyed world of Final Fantasy 7 are probably more than ten times that of the Marvel plane. !
This makes Zhang Heng secretly heartbroken. If he can successfully save the world of Final Fantasy 7, he may have an inexhaustible supply of magic. Of course, the premise is that the heroes among the magic must be eliminated. Nova cells.
Of course, the Awakened are not only a fighting force. In terms of scientific research, the Awakened's understanding ability far beyond that of ordinary people is even more amazing. Because of this, Zhang Heng also released the magic energy inside the hive and spherical base. It's a pity that among thousands of scientists, only three people have successfully awakened, and these three people are just apprentices.
If Mako really uses more and less, Zhang Heng may not be selfless enough to provide the world with the Mako he worked so hard to obtain in the Marvel plane. However, after learning that Mako energy can be recycled and awakened, The more people he knew, the faster the regeneration rate of Mako energy inside the planet would be. He finally stopped hesitating and completely set out to spread this magical energy around the world!
The first is Haizhou. He dug a huge cavity hundreds of meters deep in the city center and poured thousands of liters of magic into it. All the magic will evaporate within a few days and pass through the soil layer in the city. It spread within the city, and then came to major densely populated cities. Except for retaining a few Mako for emergency use, most of the remaining Mako was dumped out by him without any money, without anyone knowing. , these demons have begun to silently change everything about human beings!
Zhang Heng knows that these awakened ones are likely to become the foundation of his world. In the near future, they will even be the backbone of mankind's resistance to the curse!
While Zhang Heng continued to spread magic, the clone army under him also began to collect these precious talents...
