Distributed Storage
"Don't move, I'm just curious how you store energy."
Su Luo was no stranger to Nanorobots; given a sufficient industrial environment, he could also create some crude versions.
He had already mastered those things long ago, using miniature mechanical structures, simple programming logic, and basic materials science.
But what he really wanted to see was Yun Xiaoxiao's energy storage method. Those Nanorobots themselves require energy to operate, and Yun Xiaoxiao can store massive amounts of energy in such a small volume and maintain operation for a long time. There must be some special technology involved.
Yun Xiaoxiao struggled silently, Su Luo dismantled the illusion silently; both were in perfect sync.
About half an hour later, Su Luo let go of her hand.
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately summoned the isolated Nanorobots back, and the silvery-white liquid covered their bodies again, solidifying into a familiar metallic shell.
It hovered in mid-air, looking at Su Luo with a face full of grief and indignation, its face covered with cartoon-like blue teardrops.
The energy storage technology within Yun Xiaoxiao's body was something Yuncang No. 0 had never traded before. The documents mentioned the manufacture and application of Nanorobots, but not how to power them.
Distributed Storage.
Storing energy throughout the body consists of nanoscale energy storage units, much smaller than cells. Electrical energy is stored in a quantum state within countless tiny units, making it extremely precise and efficient.
Su Luo had considered this method before.
For example, in Martial Dao, there is a concept of "opening the body's major acupoints," which involves creating several key energy nodes within the body to store Blood Qi. Going further, it is possible to develop the billions of micro-acupoints throughout the body, Storage Blood Qi in every cell.
For example, the Mustard Seed Method in the cultivation of immortality develops the entire body into billions of tiny mustard seed dantian, maximizing energy storage while simultaneously strengthening the physical body.
The principles are all the same.
These methods are extremely difficult and sound very intimidating, so in some fantasy works, they are one of the Protagonist's cheat codes.
So Su Luo decided to get herself a set.
However, what he lacked was the technology to Perfect store energy and to Perfect mobilize that energy. Yuncang had the technology, but it was incomplete.
Now, the system within Yun Xiaoxiao's body is right in front of her. If she could integrate it into the Inner Circulation method, it would definitely be amazing.
Su Luo raised her head and looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
The latter cautiously took two steps back, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Could you send me a copy of the control system in your body?" Su Luo asked after a moment's hesitation.
Yun Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"You mean," its synthesized voice said incredulously, "That you had nothing better to do than strip me naked, play around with me, and then I wrote a research report for you?"
"Hold head high."
"You're spicy..."
"When we get back, I'll help you design a hybrid computer."
"... make a deal."
Yun Xiaoxiao accepted it with humiliation; the computer's computing power was the most important thing to her.
Su Luo nodded and looked down at her fingertips.
There, there was a cluster of fine white crystals. Those were the Source Essence after the [Storage Conversion] process.
[Storage Conversion] can be used not only to store Spells, but also to compress energy.
That said, the secondary Attribute "Mana" isn't always a good description of his mana bar.
The values displayed on the System Panel are far outdated and no longer reflect the actual amount of energy he can control...
Civilization Development Site No. 37
This place was once the home of a civilization, but now only a shattered continent remains, suspended in the Void, surrounded by countless wrecks and ruins, making it extremely dangerous.
The destructive methods employed by different civilizations without reservation can all be seen here.
Forbidden Spells capable of easily blasting apart a mountain range occasionally streak across the sky; they are gifts left behind by a certain civilization. On the earth, hordes of deformed creatures roam; they were originally ordinary lives, but have been twisted into these forms by various Curses and toxins.
The Tracing Light exchange group stood on a relatively safe high ground, with about thirty people spread out and on guard.
Lin Yuan followed closely behind the National Guardian Mage who was leading the group, wearing full Abjuration gear and not daring to look around.
As the former director of the research institute, he is now just an ordinary candidate for the "Transmigrator Project," with no cultivation, no combat power, and relying purely on his brains.
The environment here is completely unsuitable for normal people to live in. The air is filled with colorless toxins, and an ordinary person could sleep for two hundred years after just one breath.
The ground may be littered with various trigger-based Curses; stepping on one will be fatal. Even seemingly normal rocks might explode at any moment.
Lin Yuan is the only person in this exchange group who does not possess any cultivation level.
"How much longer?" Lin Yuan asked in a low voice.
The National Guardian Mage, held a string of prayer beads that exuded an aura of Curses in his hand, squinting as he gazed into the distance.
"I don't know." His voice remained slow and deliberate. "They didn't give a specific time; we can only wait."
Tracing Light entered the Spatial Rift half a month after receiving the information. The exchange group had more than thirty people, which could be considered a medium-sized group.
Other civilizations reacted differently.
Some might not come at all, those who live far away, or those who don't trust this "Demon Prince."
Some, on the other hand, directly launched a massive military offensive, sending a large number of highly capable units, as if they wanted to fight against the Abyssal Depth Civilization that controlled this desolate Civilization Development Site.
Just then, under the blood-red sky in the distance, a large number of figures were surging towards the center of the continent. Those figures were densely packed, like a school of fish seeking mating during the flood season, crowding together eagerly.
"What civilization is this?" Lin Yuan squinted. "They held a meeting and over ten thousand people came, are they preparing for another battle?"
"Elf Race," someone nearby recognized.
They were a race that Civilization Development Site resembling a giant tree. Each of them was tall and slender with delicate features and transparent wings that shimmered faintly against the blood-red sky.
"Oh, you mean that tree-shaped civilization, right? It's called... the Ming Dynasty Civilization. These guys are also Mana Side; we can try to make contact with them later."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The elves moved.
More than ten thousand elves attacked simultaneously and decisively.
A profound group Spell mark appeared on this continent. Jade Green light and pure white light intertwined and rippled, carrying a certain aura of life and holiness—it was the Nature Magic unique to the Elf Race.
Then, in a very short time, that beam of light swept across the entire continent.
Wherever it passed, all filth dissolved. Those deformed creatures instantly turned to ashes, those lingering Curses were uprooted, and those hidden toxins were completely purified.
At the same time, half of the lives on this continent were also wiped out.
Those members of the Abyssal Depth Civilization stationed here didn't even have time to react before they turned to ashes in the light.
"Holy crap, what the hell? Legendary Self-Destruct bomber?"
Even with the National Guardian Mage protecting him, his frail body was still affected by the shockwave. He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then he knew nothing more.
A second later, he "opened his eyes" again.
Only the soul remains.
"Do they have a grudge against the Ming Dynasty and Yuanshen?"
