I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

three days later.

The core area of ​​the Genesis Lab.

On a metal display stand covered with velvet, lay a small object, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

It has a warm, milky white color throughout, and the material is not metal, but a kind of specially made nano-ceramic.

The surface of the ceramic is inlaid with intricate and beautiful patterns using extremely pure gold wire.

That was the simplified version of the [Thunder Pool Formation].

Under the shadowless lamp, the golden patterns seemed to come alive, faintly shimmering with light, exuding a mysterious, noble, and futuristic aesthetic.

This is the first battery in human history that uses technology for cultivating immortality.

Su Qingge stood in front of the display stand. Although her eyes were as dark as a panda's, her icy face radiated unprecedented pride.

"We call it Kuafu No. 1."

Su Qingge's voice was hoarse, yet it possessed a penetrating power.

"To keep going until one dies of exhaustion? No."

"From this day forward, we will have an inexhaustible drive to chase that true sun."

Li Guobang stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the small battery, even his breathing became cautious.

"Let's start the test."

He gave the order in a deep voice.

An engineer wearing white gloves carefully lifted the Kuafu-1 and pushed it into a specially designed conversion interface.

The other end of the interface is connected to a large industrial-grade laser cutter, whose cold metal casing gives people a heavy sense of oppression.

This machine is notorious for being an energy hog; when running at full power, it consumes hundreds of kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour.

"start up!"

hum-

The laser cutter emitted a deep roar, and a blinding blue laser beam shot out, instantly cutting into a 10-centimeter-thick special steel plate.

Sparks flew and molten iron flowed.

Time passed by, second by second.

ten minutes.

One hour.

Ten hours.

24 hours.

The experts, who had originally planned to just watch the show and leave, were now frozen in place, their eyes wide with disbelief.

The laser cutter had been working continuously for a day and a night, and the shredded steel plates had piled up into a small mountain.

On the monitoring screen connected to Kuafu-1, there was a green battery bar.

It remains a solid 100%.

"It's broken? The monitor is broken?"

An elderly expert rubbed his eyes and asked incredulously.

"Get a new monitor!"

The new monitor is connected.

It remains at 100%.

Until the seventy-second hour.

The laser head of that industrial-grade laser cutting machine burned out due to prolonged overheating, emitting a plume of black smoke and becoming completely unusable.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone was numb.

They turned to look at the screen.

Battery level: 99.9%.

"Gulp."

Someone swallowed, and the sound was clearly audible in the quiet laboratory.

One of the chief engineers in charge of the nuclear power project collapsed in his legs and had to hold onto the table to keep his balance.

He looked at the small, still smooth and warm like jade, his lips trembling, and uttered a sentence that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"This isn't a battery at all..."

"This is a miniature nuclear power plant sealed in the palm of your hand."

fear.

Once again, fear overwhelmed joy.

What if this thing explodes?

What if this thing is mounted on a missile?

"Continue testing."

Li Guobang broke the silence with a calm voice, but Chen Xi noticed that his hands, which were behind his back, were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

"Charging test".

Su Qingge nodded and operated the robotic arm to connect "Kuafu No. 1" to the base's dedicated charging station.

This charging station is directly connected to the base's main substation and has its own independent power supply line.

"For safety reasons, we'll set it to slow charging mode for now..."

Su Qingge hadn't finished speaking.

A sudden change occurred.

The moment the charging gun is inserted into the interface.

There was no warning whatsoever.

boom!

The lights in the entire 001 base flickered suddenly and then went out.

The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the underground.

"Warning! Warning! Main substation overload!"

"Warning! Voltage has suddenly dropped to zero!"

"Backup generator failed to start! Overload!"

In the darkness, only the golden patterns on the Kuafu No. 1 suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a greedy black hole, frantically devouring all the energy around it.

Only 0.1 seconds had passed.

Snapped.

The lights came back on.

The alarm stopped abruptly.

Everything returned to normal, as if the power outage had been just an illusion.

"What happened?"

Li Guobang demanded an explanation in a stern voice.

"Report!"

The engineer in charge of power monitoring looked at the data on the screen and looked like he had seen a ghost; his voice became shrill and distorted.

"Just in that 0.1 second..."

"Our...our entire base's power grid has been drained."

"Furthermore, the sudden surge in load triggered the regional power grid's protection mechanism, causing power outages in three nearby counties as well!"

"It...it swallowed up a city's entire day's electricity consumption in one go!"

The engineer pointed to the battery lying quietly on the table, his eyes filled with fear of the monster.

"And...it's full."

On the screen, the battery level indicator returned to 100%.

0.1 seconds.

Instant charging.

It can fully charge the electricity of a city.

Li Guobang slowly walked to the display stand.

He reached out and gently stroked the cold ceramic shell.

No fever.

Even after experiencing such a terrifying energy intake and output, it still maintained room temperature.

"it is good."

"good!"

"good!!!"

Li Guobang said "good" three times in a row, his voice louder and louder each time, making people's eardrums buzz.

He turned sharply to look at the two of them, his gaze sharp as a knife, his eyes revealing undisguised ambition.

"This thing is more valuable than Life One."

"It surpasses the Xuan Tie alloy."

"It even surpasses all the weapons and equipment we currently possess."

Li Guobang strode to the huge world map, waved his hand as if he were surveying the world.

"With it, our tanks can travel all over the world without refueling."

"Our drones can hover over the enemy forever, like satellites."

"Our submarines will no longer need expensive nuclear reactors to remain submerged in the deep sea for years!"

"This is the heart."

Li Guobang turned around, staring intently at Chen Xi, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"This is the true heart that drives future civilization."

Chen Xi leaned against the lab bench, turning the discarded wafer between his fingers, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Old Li, your vision is too narrow."

"It would be a waste to use it only for military purposes."

Chen Xi pointed to the top of his head, which was the direction of the ground.

"What we need to do is not just arm the military."

"We want every light, every car, and every machine in China to be powered by electricity from the heavens."

Li Guobang suddenly stopped moving.

He understood what Chen Xi meant.

This is an energy revolution.

An ultimate revolution that will completely end the petrodollar hegemony and reshape the world order.

"approve!"

Li Guobang slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups jump around.

"Establish a new department immediately!"

"Level: Top Secret"

"Responsible directly to the highest level."

He looked at Chen Xi and Su Qingge with a solemn expression, as if he were entrusting the fate of the nation to them.

"His name will be..."

"Nantianmen Energy".

Chen Xi smiled.

He turned to look out the window at the deep rock formations, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick soil, watching the world that was about to be completely overturned.

Those were the glorious years of the East.
