Energy Conversion Ratio

This way, Chen Chen had resolved two potential crises.

Of course, the actual situation would only be more complex, so Chen Chen would repeat the second method, hiding another portion of NZT-48 in a foreign bank.

The Swiss visa Xia Yin had applied for earlier was used for this purpose.

Depositing a portion of NZT-48 into a Swiss bank might, one day, buy him a sliver of hope.

This was his contingency plan.

With these preparations made, Chen Chen took out the USB drive again and began considering the next item he wanted to redeem.

Chen Chen wasn't lacking money for the time being. Just acquiring a pair of VR glasses would be enough to sustain him for ten years, and could even allow him to establish an electronic technology empire. Therefore, for his next item, if possible, Chen Chen still believed it would be more prudent to enhance his individual strength.

It would be great if I could get some kind of superpower, Chen Chen thought.

Almost everyone dreamed of having various superpowers as a child, like flying or moving through walls. In a dull and lifeless reality, superpowers were even more anticipated than other products.

In fact, there were many superpower movies in Hollywood, such as The Butterfly Effect, Hancock, and Jumper, among others.

However, after searching, Chen Chen found that the source of superpowers in these movies was either gene mutation, a chance encounter, or being born with them.

As for movies like those from Marvel and DC, where superpowers were flying everywhere, they were too fantastical to even be put into the USB drive.

In the end, Chen Chen could only return to his original choice.

Chronicle.

However, in Chronicle, the crystal seemed quite large.

Chen Chen suddenly thought of a problem.

What if the crystal was too large and required a lot of electricity?

He casually pulled a sheet of A3 tracing paper from a nearby bookshelf and quickly jotted down some figures.

E=MC^2

1 Joule (J) = 0.2388 calories (cal) = 0.278 × 10^-6 (kW·h)

1 (KG) = 89,875,517,873,681,764 (J) = 24,965,421,632 (kW·h)

Although he wasn't sure how much energy was needed to bring items from the USB drive into reality, Chen Chen could use mathematical formulas to estimate it.

After listing the formulas, Chen Chen paused and suddenly crossed out the "E=MC^2" equation.

The mass-energy equivalence formula could not be applied here with the USB drive. Chen Chen had previously deduced that the USB drive didn't convert electrical energy into matter out of thin air; it merely consumed energy to open a channel.

Biting the end of his pen, Chen Chen subconsciously picked up a pellet of NZT-48, preparing to put it in his mouth.

But as he brought it to his lips, Chen Chen hesitated.

Actually, when the experiment ended earlier, the effects of the NZT had already begun to fade. However, because he was immune to NZT, he hadn't experienced the usual side effects after the drug wore off.

His brain was just slightly fatigued.

Thinking about it now, Chen Chen put the pill back.

Chen Chen understood that although he had overcome the physical addiction after injecting the Immunity Injection, his psychological addiction remained.

It wasn't that NZT-48 couldn't be used, but Chen Chen felt that his over-reliance on the drug was also a hidden danger.

What Chen Chen needed to do now was to try to overcome his psychological addiction and solve some problems with his original intelligence.

After all, the problems he was contemplating now weren't difficult; they were only at a junior high school level...

Let's first calculate the exchange ratio between the USB drive and reality.

If the energy storage of the USB drive in the first instance is set to X, and the energy storage in the second instance is set to Y, then Y ≥ mass of Immunity Injection + mass of VR glasses.

Simultaneously, Y = 200 (kW·h) × 24 (h) × 90 × 0.85 (cosΦ).

From this, we can deduce Y = 1.32192E12 J.

This means that extracting one gram of matter from the USB drive would consume approximately 4,406,400,000 Joules of energy, or 1224 kW.

Of course, the actual conversion ratio would definitely be greater than 1224 kW, but not exceed 2000 kW.

Chen Chen then substituted X, deducing that X ≤ 2.16E12 J.

So, where did this 2.16E12 Joules of energy come from? Was it truly a gift from the previous owner?

If so, what was their purpose?

Chen Chen fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Chen still had no conclusion, so he began calculating how much electricity would be needed to bring the crystal from Chronicle into reality.

In the movie, the crystal, viewed from the front, had a starfish-like structure, consisting of a central main body and eight radiating conical sections around it.

Based on the scale ratio between humans and the crystal in the movie, the main body was approximately an irregular block about 1.2 to 1.3 meters in diameter, with nine crystalline protrusions about 0.5 meters long on top.

The eight conical sections around the sides were about 1.5 to 2 meters long.

Converting this, the volume of the crystal was approximately between 3.5 and 4 cubic meters.

Chen Chen silently calculated and felt somewhat speechless.

Even calculating with the standard mass of ordinary crystal at 2.66g/cm³, the 200,000 kWh of electricity the USB drive can be charged with daily would still require 40,000 days for him to accumulate enough power to materialize the crystal into reality.

This time span already exceeds 100 years...

Chen Chen's lips twitched.

It seemed that before obtaining a more efficient form of energy, he could only materialize small trinkets for the time being.

With that thought, Chen Chen crumpled the manuscript in his hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Since that was the case, what should he materialize?

Chen Chen thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he got his start with NZT-48, but there was actually a more ingenious drug than NZT-48.

CPH4 from the movie Lucy.

When he first made his choice, Chen Chen had considered this drug, but just as the film's director said, CPH4 was something he fabricated, a substance that didn't exist in reality.

Moreover, humans don't only develop 10% of their brains in reality; the movie's concept was flawed.

So, the first time he chose, Chen Chen directly abandoned this option.

However, he could try it now.

The mass of a packet of CPH4 was similar to that of NZT-48, and the electricity he had charged in the past few days was entirely sufficient to materialize it.

Of course, Chen Chen wouldn't test the drug on himself directly. If he could research the components of this drug, it might lead to new discoveries.

But all of this was contingent on one thing: the USB drive being able to store this movie.

After all, the movie's theme itself was flawed, and it was highly possible that this movie, like Marvel movies, couldn't be contained by the USB drive.

With that thought, Chen Chen returned to his bedroom and snapped his fingers, "X, help me turn on the computer and play Lucy."

"Okay, Dad."

Actually, Chen Chen hadn't watched this movie before; he had only seen a three-minute explanation of it on Bilibili.

Movie explanations were a new short video format that emerged around 2015, compressing a 90-minute film into three to five minutes so that viewers could get a general understanding of the main plot and outcome.

Chen Chen had originally intended to watch it, but since he had already seen the explanation, he lost any anticipation for the movie.

It was like when you're watching the first part of The Three-Body Problem in the dorm, and people keep telling you:

"Luo Ji's Wallfacer is himself!"

"The Droplets wiped out Earth's fleet!"

"The ending is the solar system being flattened by aliens!" and so on...

Of course, it wasn't the narrator's fault, only Chen Chen's own impulsiveness.

Now, with nothing else to do and Chen Chen in a normal state without taking any drugs, perhaps appreciating a movie with a relaxed mind would not only help with his upcoming work but also relax his taut nerves?

As he thought this, Little X also proactively turned off the bedroom lights, and a screen slowly descended. The projector and sound system behind him quietly activated...

"Ten billion years ago, we were granted life..."

"What did we do with it?"

On the screen, a deep blue background filled the view, and a single cell slowly appeared, beginning to divide.

One became two, two became four, four became eight...

LUCY!
