The results of the experiments that followed shattered everyone's understanding again and again.
The World Tree turned nothing away!
Whatever the radioactive element, it could absorb it perfectly and convert it into energy for its own growth!
"I get it! I understand everything now!" Liu Chengen slapped his thigh excitedly, turning in circles where he stood.
"Energy crystals! The fundamental reason it can absorb energy crystals might be that they carry some kind of 'radiation' harmless to living things!"
"This tree is a perfect converter of radioactive material!"
Qian Zhenhua quickly adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with an almost crazed light.
He grabbed Lin Mo's arm, speaking rapidly in his excitement.
"Commander Lin! If that's the case, then we... we could absolutely use nuclear fuel rods as fertilizer for it!"
Lin Mo: "???"
He stared, dumbfounded, at this leading authority in physics.
"Use nuclear fuel rods... as fertilizer?"
"Good grief! Are you trying to create a nuclear fusion World Tree?!"
Qian Zhenhua paid no attention whatsoever to Lin Mo's expression. He was already immersed in his own vision, growing more excited as he spoke.
"Exactly! Feeding it ore directly is too inefficient!"
"If we hauled a few hundred tonnes over, it might absorb all of it in a few days. Handling it would be a hassle, too. No one could stay anywhere around the World Tree!"
"We might as well refine it directly! Build a small Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor right beneath its roots!"
"Let the fusion reaction release energy continuously! Give the World Tree an endless supply of fertilizer!!"
Listening beside them, Liu Chengen's eyes shone. He gazed at the World Tree, its emerald branches and leaves swaying, and kept muttering.
"A biological miracle... only heaven itself could create something like this!"
Looking at the
