Full-time Creation Master

In the core laboratory of the Gaolingshan base,

Dark purple energy flowed slowly through a specially made quartz tube, gleaming with a cold, technological luster.

The pipes, lines, and crystal energy cells on the side emitted a dazzling halo of elemental light, which intertwined with the blue light of the technological instruments, forming a unique scene.

Chu Ming changed into a set of black clothes and stood casually in front of the observation platform.

He didn't deliberately release any pressure, yet he possessed an inherent calmness that indicated he was in control of the entire situation.

He stood with four top researchers and began the conversation in a calm tone.

Gao Yue'er stepped forward first, lightly tapping the holographic screen with her fingertip. Lines of complex data and 3D modeled blueprints of the acquisition equipment then unfolded.

Her tone was precise, carrying the certainty characteristic of an academic researcher; every word exuded professionalism: "Your Majesty,"

The core of this breakthrough in dark matter and dark energy is solving the problem of "cross-dimensional energy dissipation".

We used fragments of spatial laws from the Eye of Space to construct a "Dark Energy Quantum Entanglement Collection Array."

It breaks through the previous limitation of only being able to capture cosmic rays sporadically, and realizes large-scale production in all weather conditions.

"We can produce 100,000 tons every day, as long as there's demand!"

She paused, her fingertips tracing the parameter curves on the screen, further dissecting the core of the technological gap: "This isn't a simple energy upgrade."

It's a technological gap on a dimensional level.

The cold and thermonuclear fusion methods we have relied on in the past are essentially the conventional pathway of "matter-to-energy conversion," with an energy conversion rate of only 37% at most.

Furthermore, there are uncontrollable factors such as energy decay and nuclear contamination;

The collection and application of dark matter and dark energy are directly extracted from the "background energy of space," with a conversion rate exceeding 89%.

Furthermore, the propagation speed of dark energy is not constrained by three-dimensional space.

It can achieve "delay-free energy transfer".

"To put it simply," Gao Yue'er added, "traditional nuclear fusion engines are like heating a kettle with firewood."

It is time-consuming and has high heat conduction losses;

The dark energy engine directly controls the molecular motion of the kettle, instantly boiling the water.

This is the core gap between us and the technology of the old era, and even with the technology of other forces in the current magical plane.

We have moved beyond the conventional framework of 'energy transformation' and entered the dimension of 'energy control'.

Chu Ming nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to Professor Ella, whose aloof demeanor and somewhat exotic, almost otherworldly air were captivating. His tone was calm: "How is her suitability for the magic side?"

Ella gently stroked the control panel, a sharp glint flashing in her snake-like eyes.

Her words were straightforward: "Your Majesty, the idealistic magic side doesn't need such complex dimensional anchoring and conversion rate calculations as the technological side."

The core idea is "strengthening the source and breaking through the impasse with great force".

Our Nine-Headed Lineage's dark matter production machine, developed using the energy of the Eye of Space, has a natural resonance with dark energy.

No complex compatibility modules are needed; simply inject dark energy into the magic crystal core and then forcibly catalyze it with the essence of magic.

This would double the power of dark energy—simply put, the technological side is about 'precise control,' while our magical side is about 'violent empowerment.'

"After research, dark energy is found to be a very 'common' dark attribute or yin attribute energy, which can be directly used in formations and the like."

"Furthermore, certain neutral substances within dark matter can also be produced using dark matter and dark energy."

It is estimated that the supply of dark matter for shadow mages in China will increase 10 times in the future!

It's important to know that the Shadow element doesn't have any elemental species to enhance the power of magic.

Generally speaking, black magic needs some "unorthodox methods" to increase its power.

Dark matter (actually a collective term for many dark-attributed or black-magic substances) mostly originates from the dark plane, with a small portion produced by black magicians through various means, possessing functions similar to spirit seeds or soul seeds.

It's possible for magic power to be amplified, or even for additional effects.

Therefore, most shadow mages in the world today are "forced" to become assassins because it is difficult to increase the power of their magic.

The same applies to the shadow mages of Great Xia, but if dark matter produces...

The group continued walking.

Dr. Ella raised her hand and waved it, and a dark purple energy formed a condensed energy blade.

It slammed down hard on the Emperor-grade scale armor used for testing, instantly leaving a deep gash in the armor: "The technology side needs to calculate the output power and attack angle of dark energy in order to accurately break through the defense."

On the magic side, shadow mages only need to incorporate a little catalyst to increase their affinity for dark energy, thereby indirectly increasing the power of their magic.

As long as you combine dark energy with your own magical origin, and crush it with absolute energy intensity, you can break the deadlock regardless of any defenses or laws.

The advantage of the magic side is that it doesn't require complex logic; if its essence is strong enough, it can ignore all obstacles.

As we walked, we came to a colossal structure that covered a full 120 square meters and was 5 meters high.

Simmons and Leopold Fitz exchanged a glance, then stepped forward simultaneously.

Simmons and Leopold Fitz exchanged a glance, then stepped forward simultaneously.

A long list of real-world simulation images and data models were displayed.

Simmons adjusted his glasses, his tone calm, and further elaborated on the technological gap.

With the professional depth of a veteran S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Sir... Your Majesty, besides dark matter and dark energy, Simmons and I's mission will focus more on the topic of dark energy shields... referring to the old era..."

The dark energy equipment has undergone iterative optimization—the core of the dark energy shield is 'spatial fold defense'.

By using dark energy to distort local space, the attack is directed to land in a 'spatial rift'.

Instead of acting directly on the shield itself,

This is two dimensions higher than traditional energy shields in terms of defense.

It is already practical!

Even an attack of Emperor level, after tens of thousands of 'wrinkling and abrasion' per second, is expected to be weakened by 3-5%!

...

A narrow space?

Wrinkles?

Void Shield?

"More importantly, there is poor cross-system compatibility," Leopold Fitz continued, his tone carrying the rigor and pride characteristic of a scientist.

"Our dark energy shield device can be connected to the cold nuclear fusion power supply system on the technology side."

It can also be powered by crystal energy cells and divine objects from the magic side.

It can even directly absorb magical energy from heaven and earth to replenish its own—this cross-system compatibility is itself an insurmountable technological gap.

Pointing to the dark matter bomb model on the screen, he continued, "The power of the dark matter bomb is not a simple energy explosion, but 'matter annihilation'."

We trigger the annihilation reaction of dark matter through dark energy, and the resulting "quantum-level shock wave" can directly tear apart the "information layer" of an object in three dimensions.

According to experiments, the fundamental laws attached to the limbs of demons can be obliterated!

"If the primal energy of the Fire Spirit Orb and Water Spirit Orb is injected into the bomb, the annihilation shockwave can be imbued with elemental laws."

This achieves a double blow of 'technological annihilation + magical erosion,' a perfect combination of technological superiority and the 'miracle of sheer force' created by magic.

Chu Ming listened quietly, his gaze sweeping over the projection data and energy models on the light screen.

He landed again on the quietly suspended cloud of dark energy deep inside the laboratory, his expression still calm, without any extra excitement, only a sense of confident command.

"Very good," he uttered only two words, yet they reassured all the researchers present.

"On the technology side, we will continue to delve deeper into the applications of dark energy and dark matter, maximizing the 'dimensional technological gap,' with a focus on breakthroughs in the miniaturization of individual soldier armor and warship cores."

But the most important thing is the ultimate cost-effectiveness.

Extreme replicability!!!

On the magic side, the absorption and transformation of technological achievements continues.

And, make use of your own strengths!

Chu Ming looked at the group of people, who could all be described as protagonists in a storybook.

Gao Yue'er is an expert in anti-gravity modules, cold fusion, and firepower frisbees... She's a top-tier figure wherever she goes!

Dr. Ella, a member of the Hydra faction, is proof of her strength.

Especially Simmons and Leopold, they're the kind of people who can single-handedly create time machines, dimensional travel machines, and the like!

"All subsequent resources, permissions, and manpower will be fully open," Chu Ming added. "What you need to do is give Great Xia the confidence to crush everything."

Gao Yue'er, Ella, Simmons, and Leopold Fitz bowed in unison, their tone respectful yet brimming with confidence.

In the laboratory, the hum of scientific instruments intertwined with the faint glow of magic circles.
