In Baglong Town's original base, over a thousand metal canisters were installed within an hour. Half of them bore a black hexagonal crystal on their exterior.
The large controlled nuclear fusion Tokamak deployed in Tansen continuously produced energy, which was converted into electricity and light, then transformed by algae into chemical energy stored in Black Crystal for easier storage and transport.
These canisters held over two thousand tons of Black Crystal, equivalent to the energy stored in eighty thousand tons of coal. Moreover, the energy within Black Crystal could be directly converted inside the corresponding organism's cells, through the action of enzymes, into usable chemical energy or electricity.
During this process, less than 5% of the energy was released as heat. Its energy absorption and conversion efficiency exceeded 95%, far surpassing existing animals, making it an exceptionally efficient energy-storage substance.
It was precisely this highly efficient absorption and conversion ability that allowed the series of organisms modeled after Li Heng's cells to possess strength far beyond that of humans. If they had supported their life activities with glucose and ATP like the mitochondria of ordinary organisms, they would have long since exploded into chunks of flesh from the heat generated by their metabolism.
Furthermore, while absorbing light to produce Black Crystal, Black Algae also absorbed free carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the air, fixing carbon and nitrogen. Stockpiling or using Black Crystal on a large scale could indirectly control the concentration of greenhouse gases on Earth.
Inside several dozen canisters marked with a white giant egg was a massive lump of soft, dense white flesh. After the construction workers piled these white lumps together, they twisted into a giant mountain of flesh over ten meters tall.
Once the cables and several white hoses were connected, this flesh-and-blood factory that produced
