Chapter 552: Chopping Steel Bars with a Kitchen Knife Is No Problem
What can freely convert between ‘matter’ and ‘energy’?
Before coming to this world, Su Hao didn’t know, and thought that such a thing did not exist.
According to his understanding, matter and energy can convert to each other, and you can even use a mass-energy formula to calculate the conversion of energy and matter mass.
Never thought that in the process of mass-energy conversion, there is actually something in a critical state, which is called the source.
That’s right! After some experiments and observations, Su Hao came up with a guess: the source is something between matter and energy.
The word ‘source’, Su Hao could no longer be described with the word ‘matter’, using ‘thing’ to represent it is more accurate, because it’s very likely that the essence of the ‘source’ is not matter, but something objectively existing like ‘space’ and ‘time’.
This thing is very unstable, invisible in most positions of the universe, either converted into stable ‘matter’, or converted into ubiquitous ‘energy’!
Su Hao speculated that perhaps there are extremely special environments in this world that can stabilize the critical point of mass-energy conversion.
Just like the zero between positive and negative numbers.
As for what this special environment is, whether it is the characteristics of this planet or the characteristics of this universe, he does not yet know. What can be confirmed is that this will be the main direction of his future research.
If he can master the stable conversion of ‘mass’ and ‘energy’, Su Hao can be said to be able to do anything with a ‘rudimentary version’!
Regarding the fact that under certain circumstances, the source can be transformed into ‘everything’, the people of this world have long known about it, and many people even speculate that the nature of the source is the ‘creation’ thing, the ‘origin’ of all things, so it is named ‘source’.
In the past two years, Su Hao has collected many books from all over the world, many of which contain relevant speculations and descriptions, and can provide various cases and facts to assist, almost reaching a consensus among the vast majority of people.
Unfortunately, the people of this world do not have the tools to observe and study the source, and cannot observe the changes of the source in the micro world. The conclusions they have reached so far are just speculations.
Limited by the understanding of this world, the usage of the source they master only scratches the surface, unable to unleash the true power of the source and use it for themselves.
The whole world is pursuing to become powerful ‘Origin Mages’? Now it seems ridiculous indeed.
Having the wealth but not knowing how to use it, unable to use it, is also a great tragedy.
And coincidentally, Su Hao came, even more coincidentally, he mastered the powerful observation tool called ‘Divine Mind’.
Perhaps the secret of the source will be revealed.
Until now, Su Hao felt fortunate.
If he were to reincarnate into this source world first, and then into the world of cultivation, what would happen?
The answer is probably that Su Hao would skillfully use the source, but he would not be able to turn the source into his own knowledge, take it away, miss it, and never know the secrets contained in the source in countless time afterwards…
After all, an environment so special that it can stabilize the critical state of conversion between matter and energy may only exist in the entire infinite universe.
To miss it is to miss eternity!
Su Hao clenched his fist, full of vigor: “Cherish it, at all costs, I will decipher the mystery of the source!”
He conducted another experiment at sea, after wasting some sea fish, he flashed back to the experimental base and summoned Yashan and Feng Cheng: “Yashan, Feng Cheng, how is your progress in cultivation now?”
Yashan said, “Boss Wei, I estimate that in about half a year, I will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Feng Cheng added, “It might take me a bit longer. Practicing the ‘Teleportation’ technique has divided some of my focus, so my cultivation speed has slowed down a bit. But I should be able to make it within a year at the latest!”
“How’s your teleportation practice going, Feng Cheng?”
Feng Cheng grinned and said, “Not bad at all. Let me demonstrate for you!”
With that, he disappeared with a ‘whoosh’ after holding his breath for more than ten seconds.
“Clang clang~”
Su Hao and Yashan looked over at the sound, only to see Feng Cheng falling to one side, entangled with a pile of things.
He jumped up suddenly, feeling extremely embarrassed: “Boss Wei, Boss Yashan, this was a mistake. It wasn’t like this when I practiced before. Maybe I was too excited or nervous. Let me try again…”
Su Hao smiled and said, “To achieve this level in two years of practice is already very good! As long as you can teleport, there’s no need for a demonstration. Also, I have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm today and gained the ability to study the source. Next, I will devote myself entirely to the study of the source, either by conducting experiments in the lab or actively going out to search for various disasters. In other words, our research is officially underway.
Both of you should be prepared. Tomorrow, I will send you to awaken as Origin Mages. You need to quickly familiarize yourselves with the characteristics of the source. After both of you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, come back to assist me in my research.”
For the study of the source, it’s not enough to have just him, a Bursting Origin Mage. More Origin Mage data from all nine categories of the various systems would be ideal. Hopefully, Feng Cheng and Yashan awaken with source abilities that are different from his.
Yashan and Feng Cheng’s eyes lit up, and they both responded, “Understood, Boss Wei!”
…
The reason why Yashan and Feng Cheng are arranged to awaken as Origin Mages now is because Su Hao is eager to study the other ways of transformation of the source. The most curious thing is the Illusion Origin Mage.
Once Yashan and Feng Cheng awaken as Origin Mages, they can immediately cooperate with him in his research.
Su Hao entered his laboratory with a smile, took out the Source Device ‘Processing Knife’, and placed it on the experimental table.
“Finally, I need to personally confirm one thing: whether my blood and spiritual energy, under the radiation of the Source Device, can really be transformed into ‘source’. If so, the conclusion that the source is the critical state between ‘matter’ and ‘energy’ will be further confirmed!”
He slowly infused his blood and spiritual energy into the Source Device, concentrating all his divine mind’s attention inside the Source Device, waiting for the blood and spiritual energy to transform into unknown substances under the influence of the ‘source field’.
As time passed by, the Source Device emitted a faint light, and the blood and spiritual energy were consumed just like before, leaving Su Hao’s control and disappearing into the records of the space of spheres.
However, to Su Hao’s surprise, the expected source did not appear!
Through the observation of his divine mind, the small portion of blood and spiritual energy that had escaped control did not disappear. It remained quietly in place, only the space of spheres could no longer record its information.
Su Hao was stunned: “What’s going on… It didn’t transform into source, but remained in its original form?”
Then he had a thought and immediately remembered the process of the source bead’s generation. It seemed that after breaking the ‘core’ of the nucleus, the ‘source’ emitted a burst of white light before finally transforming into a source bead.
Can it be said that actually, this part of his blood and energy has already turned into source, but it lacks some necessary conditions to immediately transform into a ‘source bead’?
He thought for a moment and thought to himself, “Perhaps the quantity of my blood and energy transformed into source is not enough to aggregate into a ‘source bead’. So, I have to try again.”
There were two plans for the experiment: one was to continue maintaining the blood and energy in a full state until a large amount of blood and energy escaped control and transformed into source; the other was to directly find various disasters in the wilderness and take ready-made research.
Su Hao leaned towards the second one because the efficiency of blood and energy transforming into source was not high. It would take several days to obtain a sufficient amount of source, so it was faster to directly find disasters.
…
The next day, Su Hao took Yashan and Feng Cheng to Huaishui Town and went straight to the hall of the Huaishui Town Mage Association. Under the surprised gaze of the receptionist Gu Lan, they entered the office of the association president, Gu Yin.
With a serious expression amidst Gu Yin’s puzzled look, Su Hao said, “President Gu Yin, a year ago, I unintentionally rescued two homeless teenagers during a disaster mission. Unexpectedly, they saw me as powerful and handsome and insisted on following me. At that time, I didn’t agree, but out of soft-heartedness, I casually mentioned that I am the Origin Mage of Huaishui Town. I didn’t expect that a year later, they would actually come looking for me, calling me ‘boss’ and I was at a loss.
Then I thought, isn’t our Huaishui Town lacking Origin Mages? So, I brought them to find you, President Gu Yin, to awaken them as Origin Mages when you have the time. If they have talent, it will be introducing talent to our Huaishui Town. If they don’t have talent, we can just drive them away. It won’t take much time anyway.”
President Gu Yin’s eyelids twitched as he looked at Su Hao with an unbelieving expression, as if saying, “Is this a story? Keep going!”
Su Hao continued, “Of course, they also came with sincerity and brought gifts.”
With that, Yashan and Feng Cheng each opened a box filled with high-quality source beads and placed them in front of President Gu Yin.
Gu Yin’s eyes lit up, but he restrained himself.
Su Hao added, “By the way, they are both like me, they have been training their bodies since they were young. Chopping steel bars with kitchen knives is a piece of cake for them. Come on, Yashan, Feng Cheng, show President Gu Yin a demonstration.”
“Swoosh!”
The two of them each drew out a kitchen knife and a steel bar from somewhere, and the knives fell.
“Ding ding~”
The two steel bars were instantly cut in half and fell to the ground.
Gu Yin: “…”
