"This is our Agriculture Building. It uses the most advanced indoor farming technology, introduced from an agricultural company in Western Continent. With sufficient lighting, scientifically formulated fertilizers, and a fully enclosed environment free from pests and diseases, every square meter here yields three to four times as much as a Ton-Grain Field outside. Combined with vertical planting, this single building is equivalent to tens of thousands of mu of farmland."
The staff member explained it to Wenren Sheng with great pride.

But after Source Crystals were discovered and confirmed, people began trying an alternative approach—an idea proposed long ago: using Mysterious Power instead of magnetic fields to confine high-temperature fusion reactors and create the conditions needed for fusion reactions..."
The staff member roughly explained the principle, and Wenren Sheng understood as soon as he heard it.
The key lay in using Source Crystals. Without them, relying only on the Mysterious Power accumulated by Otherworldly Users, they could work themselves to death and still never meet the demands of industrial-scale power generation.
