678: Chapter 658: Crystal Stone 678: Chapter 658: Crystal Stone “It’s highly flammable…

but not easy to detonate.”

Placed on the experiment table is an orange-yellow crystal.

It is an obviously finished cut and there are traces of knife marks around it.

“…It’s complicated to explain, but you’ll understand once you see it.”

In Fang Wen’s simple laboratory, there is a simple device.

It is a fixed crystal, tightly wrapped around its surroundings.

Below it is a burning fuse, and above it, a large weightlifting dumbbell.

Suddenly, the critical point is reached, and an explosion occurs.

This time, it is the sound of the dumbbell flying and shattering the ceiling.

The explosion emits tremendous force in an instant, despite having only a small point of contact.

“How is it possible?”

This seemingly violation of physics surprises Lu Ping’an.

He picks up the crystal and finds no visible changes.

The only difference is that the part connected to the fuse has some orange dust.

Lu Ping’an wipes it to find that the dust is slightly sticky, as if it had just melted.

“Is it pure energy crystal?

Or energy conversion?”

The fuse is a special reusable heating material.

The function of this crystal is to convert heat energy into kinetic energy.

The crystal itself is a catalyst with extremely low consumption.”

In this age, what is the most valuable and stable?

No, it’s always energy.

Whether oil or electricity, they are the foundation of modern society and the vital necessity for industrial development.

This device consisting of a tube, a crystal, and a fuse that can create a threatening firearm to first-tier professionals demonstrates how incredible its “conversion rate” is.

If it was made into industrial products…

“This isn’t conversion, it’s amplification, like an amplifier amplifying sound waves…”

Lu Ping’an touches the small stone, thinking perhaps this is the reason for the violent nature of the Aus people.

“Can it be used on Earth?

This clearly violates basic physical rules.”

“Based on our past experience, it’s impossible to have the same effect.

The basic attributes will be significantly revised, but some may be retained.”

Every world has its own “principles” and “rules,” acting as an “immune barrier” for outsiders.

Only the chaotic Land of the Gods knows no taboos.

Most substances and technology from this world that enter an unknown world will be forcibly revised.

This “protective mechanism” has always existed.

The only countermeasure is for the outsiders themselves to become a “small world”… This is why most taboo items and professional abilities are usable in other realms, and the Divine Boat is always the most reliable and safe means of travel through Exotic Realms.

If this “kinetic energy conversion crystal” is sent to Earth, its ability will be significantly weakened.

To what extent can only be determined by testing…

“But it must still have commercial value, otherwise, those Aus people wouldn’t go crazy about it.”

Normal people from the Western Continent can communicate as long as there’s no conflict of interest…

Perhaps they’ve already turned the whole world into their mining area and naturally transformed into food-guarding mad dogs.

Fang Wen and Meow are experienced, they aren’t too excited.

They have seen too many treasures from other worlds that have turned into stones once brought back to their own world.

If I were outside, I could turn it into War Beasts and then demonize them through pollution, and they wouldn’t be affected…”

Fang Wen’s somewhat regretful words also reminded Lu Ping’an.

It’s true that the efficiency of this material will drop significantly after being brought back to Earth, but if it’s made into taboo items or components of some pollutant, it would naturally escape the constraints of the World Rules.

“Can quasi-pollutant items work?”

The ‘energy’ of quasi-pollutants will gradually fade away, and when the special properties have faded, they’ll be useless…

This is also the method for the artisan profession.

Those Aus people might be mass producing quasi-pollutant items and then taking them back to Earth for high profits.”

In an unknown world, a complete, brand-new world often contains countless treasures and resources.

However, how much and how to digest them depends on a professional’s skill.

How to use this material in Earth’s industry?

How to use it in quasi-pollutant or even taboo item production?

What other creative but practical uses, besides this simple yet powerful gun barrel, does this material have?

Of course, exploring these is a lengthy process that requires a combination of theory and practice.

It is bound to be a search that takes years, even decades.

Lu Ping’an does not have this time and energy…

“…Maybe, we can consider how to plunder…

uh, acquire those Aus people’s technology.”

While Lu Ping’an and the research team are amazed by the specialties of this world, other members of his team aren’t idle either.

The location where the small team was ambushed is not far from Lu Ping’an’s camp.

It was lucky for them to receive help, but it might not necessarily be a good thing for Lu Ping’an and his party.

There might be a possibility that the Aus people have a camp or even a base in this area…

“…Nothing found in the southwest.”

“Nothing in the southeast either.”

One by one, messages are quickly transmitted as the professionals with “hunting dogs” carefully hunt for “intruders” in their territory.

Can I attack them first…

Meow, they’re about to run.

As always, Meow is lucky.

However, when she tries to approach the camp, problems arise.

“Damn, we shouldn’t have used the radio…

After a while, by the time reinforcements arrive, Lei Shuiyun is standing under the tree with satisfaction, while three soldiers are tied to the tree.

It’s just their bad luck to be discovered by Meow first…

Even though they detected the approaching strangers through their devices, leaving behind “Reflex” Meow, who had reached the Silver Lower level, in the forest terrain, was practically a pipe dream.

However, as they made gains, this scene also served as a lesson for everyone.

The radio (walkie-talkie) carried by Lu Ping’an and his party is the result of local technology.

It is based on Earth’s principle and materials from both imported goods and this planet’s modifications.

Considering that this should still be considered Earth technology, the radio isn’t encrypted… Broadcasting on public screens is always effective, especially when asking for help.

The Aus people are much advanced in the same Tech Tree compared to the Eastern Country.

They already created counterintelligence and electronic warfare devices, and unencrypted radios are like open broadcasts for them.

Now, these devices have become the war trophies of the proud Meow.

“Isn’t this more valuable for reference?

The experts in the camp should be very interested in these electronic devices.”
