Spirit Energy Bomb

Chapter 31: Spirit Energy Bomb

Returning to the studio, Qin Ye began testing the power of the Spirit Energy Bomb.

He placed it on the workbench, and the four mechanical arms at the corners of the table whirred into action according to the preset program, rapidly moving around the Spirit Energy Bomb crystal.

A virtual screen suspended in the upper right corner displayed fluctuating energy intensity readings.

According to the energy feedback data, the Spirit Energy Bomb's power value was only 10.92, not nearly as powerful as the Green Spirit Clan merchant had claimed.

However, preliminary testing wasn't conclusive. He immediately took the Spirit Energy Bomb and headed to the hazardous materials disposal site in D Zone.

After passing identity verification, he entered a sealed room and placed the Spirit Energy Bomb in the center of the disposal chamber. He then went to a separate compartment and observed the Spirit Energy Bomb's explosive power through the transparent glass.

When he pressed the green rune in his hand, the energy shield inside the disposal chamber activated, and a blinding white light instantly obscured his vision.

BOOM!

After a brief tremor in the ground, everything returned to calm.

Energy fluctuation data from the explosion appeared on the transparent glass of the disposal chamber, showing a reading of 1228.

The power had increased by more than a hundredfold compared to the initial test.

This discovery instantly made Qin Ye's mood excited.

When he purchased it, the Green Spirit Clan had mentioned that the Spirit Energy Bomb was very simple to make. As long as one mastered the production technique, they could create a Spirit Energy Bomb on the battlefield at any time using energy crystals.

Over the years, the number of alien forces that had descended had increased, including many unfriendly invading factions.

This kind of technology that could be used in actual combat was exactly what he needed.

Qin Ye immediately left the disposal chamber and found the Green Spirit Clan merchant who was still setting up his stall selling various items.

When he proposed buying the technology, the Green Spirit Clan merchant held up one finger. A sharp voice came from the translator hanging around his neck:

"One hundred thousand Earth Coins."

"Why don't you go rob someone!"

"Given our relationship, I can give you a 30% discount on the Spirit Energy Bomb, but buying the technology is a different price. Ten thousand Earth Coins isn't expensive for this technology. I know you have the authority to handle technology acquisitions under one million, so this amount is no problem for you."

"How do you know my technology procurement limit?" Qin Ye's eyes widened in surprise.

The Green Spirit Clan merchant seemed to realize he had said too much and immediately fell silent.

"Did you plant spies within the Human Federation?" Qin Ye continued to probe.

"Absolutely impossible. We Green Spirit Clan are on good terms with humans. This is intelligence we purchased from outside."

"Where did you buy it?"

"No comment. We Green Spirit Clan value integrity the most... So, are you buying the technology or not?"

Realizing he couldn't extract any useful information from the Green Spirit Clan merchant, Qin Ye stopped asking and nodded, "I'll buy it, but the price needs to come down."

After a round of bargaining, Qin Ye finally purchased the technology for making Spirit Energy Bombs at the price of seventy thousand Earth Coins.

Returning to the studio with the sealed green data sphere containing the technology, Qin Ye eagerly began testing.

The manufacturing process was actually very simple. It only required altering the internal structure of the Spirit Energy Bomb through consciousness imprinting, leaving a consciousness imprint as the detonation fuse.

However, during testing, Qin Ye quickly encountered a problem that was difficult to solve.

He used the Consciousness Amplifier for the consciousness imprinting process, but halfway through, he felt dizzy and couldn't continue.

"This is bad!"

Qin Ye suddenly realized a major issue.

The Green Spirit Clan could easily produce Spirit Energy Bombs, but with the mental strength of humans, it might not be possible.

This technology, seemingly simple and practical, was only suitable for mass production on an assembly line. Human soldiers wouldn't be able to create a Spirit Energy Bomb anytime they wanted using consciousness imprinting like the Green Spirit Clan.

Qin Ye's expression turned bitter.

He had already spent 70,000 Earth Coins, and there was no possibility of a refund.

At this point, he had two choices: use his own savings to cover the mistake in procurement, or submit a procurement report to his superiors explaining his procurement error.

Qin Ye decisively chose to use his own savings to cover the procurement shortfall.

If money could solve a problem, he would never bother his superiors.

His family didn't offer much support in his career, but one thing was certain: he never had to worry about not having enough money.

Sitting dejectedly in his studio, Qin Ye sighed.

This Spirit Energy Bomb technology seemed completely useless to him, far less practical than he had imagined.

For assembly line production, the Human Federation had better options.

He glanced at the time on the wall, realizing his resurrection cooldown had ended, and immediately got up and headed for the game pod.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck him.

The Dark Land, created by the Moon Eclipse Clan, was a game with 100% realism. The spiritual energy substances within it should be no different from reality. The issue of weak human mental power wouldn't be a problem in the game.

Because monster forms can significantly boost his mental strength.

For example, Bone Fire and Eagle Head Demon are both monster forms whose mental strength is several times that of humans.

So, can this technology be applied to the game?

"Let's try it now!"

With an idea, Qin Ye immediately decided to log into the game for practical testing.

After logging into the game, Qin Ye appeared at the resurrection point in Emperor's Tomb Village. He glanced at his balance, which showed 232 points of Sacrificial Power.

200 of those Sacrificial Power points were purchased with credit coins.

He summoned the shop panel and began searching for Energy Stone.

After entering "Energy Stone" into the search bar, the page automatically jumped to the relevant product page.

After comparing, Qin Ye chose the lowest-priced Level 1 Energy Stone as the test item. Each one cost 30 Sacrificial Power, and he bought 5 at once.

Upon successful purchase, the items automatically entered his personal inventory.

Taking out one, Qin Ye found a deserted open space in Emperor's Tomb Village to begin the test.

The engraving process requires powerful mental energy infusion, which his human form clearly couldn't achieve. He decisively switched to the Eagle Head Demon form.

Extending his consciousness outwards, the particle structure within the spirit stone became clearly visible in the sensory view.

He rearranged the particles according to the energy particle arrangement structure provided by the Green Spirit Clan.

Several minutes later.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the unstable structure caused the Level 1 spirit stone to instantly shatter. Qin Ye saw black before his eyes, and a game prompt popped up in his mind:

[Challenger Prompt: You have entered the death resurrection cooldown!]
[Challenger Prompt: Damage caused to the Emperor's Tomb Village environment will automatically deduct 13 Sacrificial Power for repairs.]

Qin Ye: ...

Staring at the screen gradually turning black, Qin Ye's resentment towards the resurrection cooldown setting erupted once more.

He had finally waited for the cooldown to end, only to be forcibly logged out less than five minutes after entering the game.

"Trash Moon Eclipse Clan, broken game!"

While cursing inwardly, Qin Ye found himself even more eager for his next login.

Because he had confirmed his hypothesis.

The game Dark Land could indeed perfectly simulate reality, and the Spirit Energy Bomb technology of the Green Spirit Clan could absolutely be applied in the game.

As for this accidental explosion, it was purely due to his lack of operational proficiency, which could be improved later.
