Upon hearing Noah's explanation, the group of astrophysicists, including Doctor Zhao,
were once again left utterly dumbfounded.
Li Chen, meanwhile, felt a slight stir in his heart.
"You're not joking with us, are you, Noah?"
"Directly refine Earth into Energy Crystal Cores?"
Li Chen asked skeptically.
Before Noah could answer,
Megatron beside him could not help but speak up.
"Master, this can be done, because high-level Cosmic Civilizations have always done it this way."
"They collect entire planets from other star systems, then refine them as a whole."
"After removing all impurities, what remains is pure energy. Some of that energy is made into Evolution Fluid, while some is directly condensed into Energy Crystal Cores..."
"Basically, all Cosmic Civilizations above Level Three possess this kind of mature refining technology. They can refine any planet, satellite, even Dwarf Planets and comets, into Energy Crystal Cores."
"Although Earth does not currently possess such technology, I can handle it for you."
Without waiting for Noah to answer Li Chen's question, Megatron had already provided an answer first.
Hearing this, Li Chen finally remembered.
Not long ago, Megatron had refined half of the hawkish faction in the Space Shelter into Energy Crystal Cores...
This fellow had not been lying.
He truly had the ability to directly refine an entire planet,
and convert all its energy directly into Energy Crystal Cores...
"Are you sure this will work?"
Li Chen was somewhat tempted.
He knew that the Star-Level Shelter would eventually reach that stage.
As its size continued to increase,
if the Star-Level Shelter continued evolving, it would completely break through Earth.
In the end, Earth, this non-rigid body, would shatter into pieces and thoroughly become Meteorite Dust or meteors and comets drifting through the universe...
Since Earth was destined to fall apart sooner or later,
