Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 744 The Horrifying Amount of Research Data

"..."

Li Zheng suddenly wondered, if the person in history hadn't taken the wrong path and had successfully developed a method to break through the limits of spiritual power, would the Heavenly Will Organization have been able to hunt down the residents of the outer city and extract their spiritual power as a cheat code?

Or perhaps, now that the emotional storm has been completely resolved, the Blue Planet will not have suffered this great transfer, and I... will not have been cloned by the terminal and thrown into the Matrix?

For things that haven't happened, you can't get a definite answer.

Li Zheng banished this meaningless thought from his mind to avoid wasting energy thinking about random things.

"I'll try your method first."

Based on his previous experience, the doctor created a singularity. The "seawater" in his mental world immediately boiled and poured into the center of the singularity with a ferocity that was more intense than any other person with a condensed node that Li Zheng had ever seen. The singularity also expanded at the fastest speed.

It took a full hour for the singularity to completely drain all the spiritual energy seawater, and the singularity itself became full and expanded. In its singularity state, it was a whole size larger than the others!

Next is the spiritual body, which is also a manifestation of spiritual power and the source of a person's spiritual power. The key is to gather all spiritual power together without leaving a single drop behind in order to succeed, without wasting the slightest bit.

Looking at this scene, Li Zheng noticed that the spiritual seawater created by the doctor was somewhat different from the flower garden created by the Hundred Flowers Painting.

The flowerbed and butterflies are more like external forces, only providing some assistance and not being sucked into the condensation point.

The spiritual seawater, on the other hand, is the doctor's own property, sharing the same origin as the doctor. It is equivalent to accumulating an additional portion of the total spiritual energy that will be filled into the node before the node is formed.

For example, if a node is "one" when it first solidifies and is "ten" when it is fully filled and ready to solidify into a second node, then the doctor's action is equivalent to directly raising the foundation to "seven" when solidifying a node. Then, only a small amount of input is needed to start solidifying the second node.

But Li Zheng had a question: after the basic level was raised to "seven", was the fullness of this node still "ten"?

In response, he thought about himself. His spiritual body had merged with the energy of a virtual six-digit node, so what was his current state?
Is it considered a node?
Or is it that he only has a spiritual body, but no nodes?
At this moment, Li Zheng suddenly had a bold idea: if he stuffed all his spiritual power into the Dark Realm and then used the method of condensing nodes taught by Xu, could he still compress all his spiritual power into nodes?

Li Zheng was startled by the idea, but also somewhat excited: "If I succeed, will I be free from the danger of being burst by my mental energy at any moment?"

In addition...

"After success, can this node still be retrieved from the Dark Realm?"

wrong!

Li Zheng realized that the node needed a spiritual world as its foundation, but his spiritual world was long gone.

It's like a pearl that must be kept in a box. His box was blown to bits from the very beginning. Where would he put the pearl if it was taken out?
"Unless I can think of a way to fully open the gate to the Dark Realm created by the Lampholder's Mark and make the Dark Realm my spiritual world!"

He quickly came up with a solution: "But before that, we can't make such a dangerous attempt, otherwise, if other unexpected accidents happen, it will be too late to remedy the situation."

Li Zheng is increasingly feeling that he needs help from many different sources to help him research things that he cannot research on his own.

"Individual abilities have their limits. If we could have more trustworthy people in the outer city, I would just be responsible for coming up with research topics and let others do the brain work." He patiently waited until the doctor had completely inserted his spiritual body into the singularity. At the moment the time was right, the singularity expanded with a roar, and a round node appeared in the spiritual world.

Subsequently, the doctor's spiritual body was extracted from the node, which is the foundation from which spiritual power is generated, and can be extracted independently from the node.

"So this is what it feels like after a breakthrough." The doctor frowned slightly. "The intensity is much weaker, but it has become more enduring, and the quality is also much higher than before."

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, before the condensation point, the doctor's mental energy was equivalent to a pound of cotton, while after the condensation point, that pound of cotton turned into a pound of iron.

Even though iron is smaller than cotton, it will definitely cause more damage if it hits someone, even if it weighs only one pound.

“But the future has become infinitely possible, and we will no longer be restricted or bound.” After saying this, Li Zheng withdrew from the doctor’s mental world.

When the doctor came to his senses, he made his request: "Could you give me your method of condensing 'seawater' in the spiritual world? I have some ideas that need to be verified."

"can."

The doctor casually took out five tablets, labeled them one by one, and handed them to Li Zheng: "These contain backups of all relevant data. You can study them at your leisure."

"Is this a document?"

"One serving." The doctor nodded calmly.

Li Zheng was taken aback: "So much data for just one project?"

The storage capacity of a tablet computer in the outer city is astonishing, a full 1024 YB!

The amount of data that could fill one tablet would be overwhelming, let alone five tablets. Just getting a rough look at the data on them would take who knows how long.
"The main content is on tablet number 5, there isn't much data," the doctor explained. "The other four tablets contain my research on mental power over the years. I was worried you might ask me for these things later, so I'm giving them all to you this time."

"That's good." Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the first four tablets were just the development process of the content on the fifth tablet. Since he wasn't a research-oriented person, he only needed to look at the fifth tablet.

"The matter has been resolved. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. If you need anything, just contact my android." The doctor seemed genuinely busy, having mentioned several times that he had important matters to attend to. Now, he simply left Li Zheng and the others behind, eager to depart.

No sooner had the doctor left than the android doctor emerged from the side door and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes." Li Zheng then revealed the real reason for his visit to the clinic: "I want to see the patients with amnesia that you are taking in."

The android doctor's expression shifted: "You have a way to cure them?"

"It's just a guess."

Li Zheng shook his head: "It's still uncertain whether it will be effective."

“It’s better than having no clue at all,” the android doctor said. “Come with me, I’ll take you down.”
