"Is there such a good thing? Then why didn't you use it earlier?" Sun Hang asked in confusion.
"Because the 'Crimson Spores' themselves are also extrely difficult to control, we currently only dare to use them within experints... On an open battlefield, the consequences of the 'Crimson Spores' spreading would be far worse than the supernatural entities they intend to eliminate... Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the 'Crimson Spores' will never be used in actual combat."
"I see..."
"If you want to consu the Crimson Spores, I suggest you first try to co into contact with the Crimson Spores toxin diluted four million tis. Only after confirming that you can resist this toxin should you proceed with the consumption," Yuri said, pausing for a mont. "If you succeed, you will be the first organism in history capable of resisting the 'Crimson Spores' toxin."
"Will I be written into the textbooks?"
"No... These records will be sealed as top-level secrets, stored in the supercomputer at Dubhe Tower," Yuri replied.
...
...
Four hours later.
Containnt Area 1, a certain "idle" containnt room.
This containnt room has been completely transford — walls, floor, and ceiling made of special alloy materials with no doors or windows, along with minimalist tallic tables and chairs, giving one the feeling of a prison cell...
In fact, that's not incorrect, as these containnt rooms are essentially cells used to imprison supernatural entities.
However, this containnt room is now serving as Sun Hang's "dining Hall."
Sun Hang sat at the table, looking at the rectangular tal tray in front of him — there were three square-cut bones on the tray, with cut surfaces covered in dense small holes. Inside these holes, a semi-fluid substance that resembled bone marrow could be faintly seen... only that from ti to ti, a faint arc of electricity flickered across the surface of these semi-fluid substances, and the surrounding air crackled in response.
"Appetizer, Kui Ox marrow sashimi," Sun Hang murmured to himself.
According to Yuri, these three bones were cut from the spine of the Kui Ox, which is the place with the highest residual concentration on the entire Kui Ox skeleton.
Sun Hang looked up at the surveillance cara embedded in the ceiling.
To be honest, being watched while eating was a bit uncomfortable in itself, let alone having electrodes of all sizes attached all over his body, even on important parts between his legs, making the situation even weirder.
Fortunately, these electrodes were very thin, almost imperceptible if not seen, and coupled with the fact that Sun Hang was wearing a loose robe, covering him from head to toe, it saved him from the embarrassnt of eating in the nude under public scrutiny.
He had asked for the robe himself — after attaching the electrodes to Sun Hang, the researchers had no intention of giving him clothes... According to their original plan, perhaps they intended for Sun Hang to complete the entire consumption process bare-skinned.
"I'm about to start," Sun Hang said to the surveillance cara.
"All monitoring instrunts are functioning normally, and all safety asures are in place," Yuri's voice ca through the speaker. "You may begin the consumption at any ti."
Sun Hang nodded slightly. He raised his right hand, and a thin mycelium erged from his palm like a tentacle, slowly approaching the "Kui Ox marrow sashimi."
With a "sizzle," a blue-white arc sprang from the bone, striking the mycelium — even though the offspring mycelium had extrely high resistance, Sun Hang still involuntarily shuddered, his originally neat hairstyle suddenly puffing up into an Einstein-like explosion.
"Yuri, if it were you sitting here, you'd already be well done, right?" Sun Hang joked.
"No, if it were sitting here, I'd already be reduced to ashes," Yuri said. "Do you know how imnse the energy contained in that arc just now was?"
"How imnse?"
"If this energy were converted into electricity, it would be enough to sustain the operation of all electrical equipnt in the entire Chunming City for 0.03 seconds," Yuri said.
0.03 seconds might seem insignificant, but considering the electrical load of the entire Chunming City, it's quite a terrifying number.
Sun Hang didn't know the electricity consumption of Chunming City, but he had seen the consumption figures for Tianfu City in Yang Qi's files. Even when comrcial, industrial, and agricultural activities were completely halted and most lighting equipnt in the city was turned off, Tianfu City's daily electricity consumption was about two to three hundred million kilowatt-hours...
If it were Chunming City, adding two zeros to this figure might not even be enough.
At two hundred billion kilowatt-hours, 0.03 seconds would equate to 6,944 kilowatt-hours...
And one kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 million joules...
What kind of concept is this?
To put it into perspective, the muzzle energy of the Kalashnikov automatic rifle, the most famous firearm produced by the Siberian Federation, known to human civilization, is only 2000 joules.
"Uh... I feel that with such exaggerated numbers, I should've turned to ash as well," Sun Hang muttered softly.
"When the mycelium contacted the arc just now, the instrunts detected a 'barrier force field' that deflected most of the energy contained in the arc, with only a minuscule fraction, not even one-millionth, being conducted to you," Yuri said.
Sun Hang glanced down at the tal chair he was sitting on, noticing a brilliant splash of color on the chair legs near his legs, almost as if an electroplating process had taken place...
"Barrier force field... Whose ability is this from?" Sun Hang racked his brain but couldn't think of which swallowed supernatural entity this barrier force field originated from. "Could it be that after being shocked, the body's reflex triggered 'wish fulfillnt,' creating this barrier force field to deflect the arc back?"
"If possible, please maintain this barrier force field throughout the consumption process," Yuri's voice sounded again. "If the energy inside the Kui Ox marrow leaks out, it could potentially level the entire containnt room..."
"The way you say it, I feel like I'm not eating an ox bone, but rather a gigantic high-yield bomb," Sun Hang grumbled.
"To be precise, it's a plasma bomb," Yuri said again. "According to our research, when the Kui Ox was alive, its blood and marrow might have been composed of plasma."
"I'm a bit curious, how did you guys cut this bone?" Sun Hang asked in puzzlent.
"The cutting tool is also a supernatural equipnt," Yuri answered. "Its property is 'absolute insulation.'"
"Oh, got it... I'll try again; this ti might be quick, so if any data is missed, I won't be responsible."
Sun Hang took a deep breath and recalled the feeling when he had just contacted the arc, summoning the barrier force field that could resist the arc once again.
After completely enveloping the two mycelia with the barrier force field, he cautiously placed them onto the Kui Ox bone.
A slight cracking sound echoed, and at the mont the blue-white arc was deflected by the barrier force field, the two mycelia suddenly accelerated, instantly drilling into the interior of the bone!
