Mana Conversion Device
Su Luo stood quietly in the center of the open space on the underground level, waiting for the core components to be delivered.
Soon, the hum of a heavy crane grew louder as several huge, precision components, gleaming with a cold metallic gleam, were slowly hoisted over and placed steadily on the prepared base.
More than ten experts dressed in engineering uniforms, their eyes filled with fatigue yet also with a sense of accomplishment, followed closely behind, looking at the underground Laboratory and Su Luo herself with curiosity and awe.
Seeing that the components were in place, Su Luo forward and first took out the [Environmental Stabilization Barrier Generator (Fine)], inserting it into the central area of the device.
Subsequently, using his own Mana as a guide, he began to stabilize the first and most important core composite model— the Four-Element Contamination Model —in the core area inside the device.
It can convert the input energy, mainly heat and electricity, into the four basic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.
Then there are countless models related to Mana stability, Mana conversion, and the construction of special environments.
Finally, through a complex elemental reversal model, the elemental energy is slowly and steadily reversed into Primordial Mana.
This process was extremely delicate, requiring an abnormal level of control over Divine Power. Powerful energy fluctuations filled the air, and the four-colored elemental light flowed continuously inside the device.
After stabilizing the situation, Su Luo changed the Mana input path from herself to the Mana Conversion Device itself.
Input Mana, issue the command, connect the external power supply, start operating, the light flashes briefly, and then dims.
Su Luo: "..."
The engineers watching from the sidelines. "..."
It looked really impressive, but it seems like it failed.
It's alright, as expected.
Su Luo remained calm.
The reason is that the energy Cycle cannot sustain itself. The basic Mana consumption required to maintain the operation of the magic circle has temporarily exceeded its own Mana production capacity.
This is similar to the early nuclear fusion experiments, where the input energy far exceeded the output, making it impossible to achieve a true "positive energy gain".
Positive returns are a must!
If Su Luo were to maintain it herself, it wouldn't be so troublesome, and she could easily generate positive returns. But the problem is that she now needs to automate the production of Mana.
After thinking carefully for a while, Su Luo waved her hand, instructing the engineers to install the pre-built core shell.
Three hours later, Su Luo tried again. This time, he began to stabilize several other Spell models on the core shell, concerning Mana binding and energy stabilization.
Where did it come from?
Su Luo dismantled the [Environmental Stabilization Barrier Generator (Fine)].
The new core layer can effectively constrain the generated Mana, prevent it from escaping excessively, and stabilize its concentration at a safe threshold.
Restart the trial run.
This time it was much better, but after running for a while, it still crashed.
The reason is the same.
It's alright, as expected.
Su Luo stroked her chin, preparing to make further improvements, when suddenly an idea struck her.
[Spirit: 12.7 (↑0.1)]
This was unexpected.
This was an unexpected gain. After running his self-created Dual-Cycle Method for many days, little by little, his mental Attribute growth finally reached the display accuracy of the System Panel.
After pausing to take a satisfied look at her mental world, Su Luo began Optimization the model again, adjusting the position and regulating energy transport...
"So, Mr. Su, this is the Mana Conversion Device?" Wang Shouye looked at the three huge devices in front of him and turned to look at Su Luo.
"Yes, it only needs to be plugged in to run. I've already had the user manual placed on the control panel."
After speaking, Su Luo made a simple gesture.
The engineer nearby immediately switched on the power.
The device instantly started flashing like the lights in a karaoke bar, then stabilized.
Wang Shouye only saw the electricity meter next to him ticking wildly.
"This is..."
"This is the full-power test mode, which consumes the most energy. For daily use, simply maintain the lowest setting, which will consume about one-tenth of the current power. Remember, avoid unplugging unless absolutely necessary; restarting after a shutdown results in significant energy loss and risk."
There's nothing we can do about the high power consumption; after all, the device's Mana gain is too low, so it's normal to consume a lot of electrical energy and convert it into a small amount of Mana.
Su Luo straightened her apprentice robe and looked at Wang Shouye.
"Similar to a nuclear power plant, and also to allow previous visitors to learn the basics of Mana, this floor will serve as a dedicated area for Mana exploration."
Wang Shouye immediately nodded solemnly and quickly made arrangements to ensure the absolute priority and stability of the power supply. Afterward, he led Su Luo to his office.
"Mr. Su, we feel that the investigation into Dongli Cang has reached a point where it is unnecessary to continue; the answer is already quite obvious."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Heh, he's not even going to act anymore!" Wang Shouye shook his head.
"According to the last intelligence we received, most countries abroad have been completely destroyed, and their social structures have utterly collapsed. The few remaining high-level Superpower, along with a handful of other survivors, are struggling to survive in extremely harsh environments, like primitive people. Civilization has been extinguished."
"But even in this situation, our great Savior generously provided electricity out of thin air, giving them a free view of His magnificent form!"
Su Luo didn't understand for a moment what "transmitting electricity out of thin air" meant.
"Literally, a damaged smartphone with its battery removed and completely powered off will automatically power on and smoothly play ultra-high-definition footage when Dongli Cang starts a global live stream! Even an old-fashioned Nokia with buttons from decades ago can display the high-definition, uncensored live stream on its screen!"
That seems a bit too abstract.
Su Luo's eye twitched.
"Furthermore, we planted a few spies around Dongli Cang, and found that he's a complete loser, lacking any personal charm or sense of morality. He's just a nouveau riche, obsessed with women all day, unambitious, and spends all his time playing around and showing off on live streams. If this guy were the 'Protagonist,' that would be too dramatic!"
Wang Shouye couldn't hold back and swore.
"Based on extensive data modeling and Rewind by our Analysis Department, Dongli Cang has almost complete control over the movement of the Beast Tides, and can even 'Prophet' the Beast Tides before they even gain momentum. We strongly suspect that the Beast Tides in the country are under his direct or indirect control!"
"He most likely doesn't have true Prophecy abilities. The day before yesterday, our people launched a test, sacrificing a female B-level Superpower to launch an attack in bed, severely injuring Dongli Cang's brother! If he could Prophecy the future, this would never have happened."
After hearing Wang Shouye's words, Su Luo almost laughed.

(To date, this update contains over 4,300 words. The following is just some random thoughts.)
Hello everyone, I wonder how you've all been doing lately.
Anyway, the author is really happy lately ٩(๑^o^๑)۶, so happy it's explosive (not because of the name).
My favorite thing to do is to open the backend every five minutes and greedily scan every person who urges me to update or comments, like a hyena patrolling its territory.
This is the author's first book published online, and only the second book he has written; the author is a complete novice.
The author wrote his first book this summer, spending countless hours thinking about it and finally deciding to publish it!
However, the review...
No matter how I modify it, it won't pass the review...
My friend is curious: Which chapter failed to pass censorship?
Me: ⸝⸝⸝ ╸▵╺⸝⸝⸝
My friend said after reading it, "Damn it, not a single chapter of yours passed the review! This kind of stuff should be posted by the moderator!"
Me:૮₍ɵ̷ɵ̷̥̥᷅₎ა
After spending two weeks listlessly lounging at home, the author felt he couldn't continue being so useless.
Let's get started.
So the author wrote the first thirty chapters of the book as if in a dream.
The author had almost given up because he felt that he and his writing were a complete mess.
Until the first request for an update came, even though he only requested it for two days.
But the author was still very happy; damn it, finally someone was reading!
As the verification period progressed, the increasing number of comments and requests for updates gave me the motivation to keep going.
Thank you so much for reading this far. Today is the first day of this book's premiere.
The author never imagined there would be a debut. ˃~ ˂
For the author, this was the first time everyone had gotten into the sedan chair together.
Your comments and requests for more updates are the biggest motivation for guiding the author!
I read every comment, good or bad.
But can negative reviews point out the shortcomings and flaws in the article? The author desperately needs that!
As for the book reviews mentioning that the Dungeon were too mediocre...
So, shouldn't authors write less of this kind of content and focus more on learning and research?
After Class Change Dungeon, you will quickly increase your strength and enter the battle against Survivors worldwide.
Finally, since this was the author's first time doing something like this, he was a bit shy.
The author doesn't dare to hope for a gift; comments and requests for more updates are enough to make him happy.
But I'd be even happier with a gift.
