Li Qi absorbed the information revealed by the Polaris Golden Core Method while looking at the disciple he intended to take in.
He had not originally planned to accept one.
But the other party's performance, along with his sixth sense pounding wildly like an endless string of warning beeps, kept telling him that he might only encounter such a person once in his life.
Moreover, the other party's nature was truly extraordinary.
Li Qi had just learned something.
It was highly likely that the essence of matter was space, and space was matter.
Then, as intelligent beings of higher-dimensional space, the Manifold race's talent was likely far beyond anything Li Qi had previously imagined.
Imagine this—
As everyone knew, the three-dimensional spatial structure of a protein determined its function.
It began as an amino acid chain, forming its primary structure. The amino acids connected through special bonds, forming the so-called "main chain" in the finished protein. While the amino acid chain was still being synthesized on the ribosome, its second-level structure—the secondary structure—had already begun folding. According to the positions and arrangements of those bonds, the amino acid chain formed helices, or flat disks folded like accordions.
The composition of these amino acids and the topological complexity of their tertiary structure, based on long-range interactions, were the primary determinants of protein folding types. Proteins handled all the work of decomposition, synthesis, catalysis, regulation, transport, movement, immunity, and more within living organisms, ultimately producing the precise machine known as the human body.
Proteins might sound somewhat abstruse, but mechanical molds made for a more intuitive example.
For instance, Phillips screwdrivers and flathead screwdrivers differed in function.
Yet the difference in their functions came solely from their differing "shapes."
And when making a mold, one only needed to add different structures. A
