Because once Qi Jun actively controlled the [Mutated Stone] to absorb sunlight, he once again felt the warmth of sunlight on his skin.
In fact, when he actively absorbed it for too long, Qi Jun's skin would even develop a burning sensation.
Because actively controlling the [Mutated Stone] to absorb sunlight required Qi Jun to supply his own energy to activate this function.
It was like operating an excavator. Running at full power, an excavator could naturally accomplish a great deal.
But at the same time, the excavator burned fuel. Not only did it burn fuel, it burned a tremendous amount-it was an absolute gas guzzler!
Qi Jun discovered that in just ten minutes, his original energy reserve of 9 points had dropped to 8.5.
Sure enough, actively controlling the [Mutated Stone] consumed a lot of energy.
Merely absorbing solar energy consumed this much. If he controlled the [Mutated Stone] to absorb higher-grade energy, wouldn't the consumption be even greater?
Fortunately, sunlight contained energy far purer and higher-grade than electricity. By actively controlling the [Mutated Stone] to absorb sunlight, even after the fifty-fifty split, Qi Jun still gained 1 energy point after ten minutes!
In other words, after accounting for both expenditure and income, Qi Jun hadn't lost energy. He had even earned 0.5 points, bringing his energy reserve to 9.5 points!
"Hahaha!!!"
"The [Mutated Stone] is fucking awesome!"
"I can't praise it enough!!!"
Qi Jun burst into delighted laughter!
Actively absorbing sunlight netted 0.5 points in ten minutes. Wouldn't that mean 3 points an hour?
And that was only under the most basic conditions.
If I went straight to the desert to bask in the sun, would it be more efficient?
If, on top of basking in the desert sun, I erected countless mirrors around me to reflect all the surrounding sunlight onto my body, how terrifying would that efficiency be?
If I then built a convex lens high in the sky, focusing all the sunlight passing through it onto a single point, how terrifying would that be?
Ten times? A hundred times? Or a thousand? Ten thousand?
Hiss!!!
The more I thought about it, the scarier it got!
Terrifying beyond belief!
Was this fucking thing really trying to turn me into Superman?
He imagined himself one day in the future, like some DC hero, standing alone in space without any protection, utterly enjoying absorbing sunlight that had undergone no refraction, and even all sorts of cosmic radiation.
And making everyone on Earth who monitored that scene hide off to the side, trembling.
What an incredibly exhilarating prospect!!!
"Hiss~~"
