Chapter 480: Chapter 408: The Repeat of Yesterday (6K for subscription and monthly ticket)_1
In the glow of the bonfire, wisps of eerie black fog slowly rose from the downward spiral of the staircase ahead…
“So, the thing those demons were afraid of is down there? But it seems I can’t feel it…”
As he pondered, Colin manipulated the flas like a stream, cascading down the stairs layer by layer, pouring into the second sub-level area.
Through his fla perception, Colin “saw” that the layout of the second sub-level seed similar to that of the first, with “M”-shaped intersections and the sa cold tal constructs…
The difference, though, was the presence of so bodies below, as well as a denser black fog.
Overall, however, the problem didn’t seem too serious.
Having reassured himself of this, Colin led his four companions downstairs.
As soon as they descended, it seed they triggered sothing; not far away, so abnormal creatures suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
They had a very peculiar form, manifesting in a gaseous state, with faint glimrs within the mist, resembling bizarre little nebulas.
At that mont, they rushed toward the staircase corner, seemingly trying to escape this place.
But sensing Colin and the others, they paused montarily, then thunder and lightning roared out from within the clouds.
Streaks of lightning flashed and struck…
“Another life trapped in the ‘counterflow’ of ti…”
As the thought crossed Colin’s mind, the flas he had prepared earlier burst forth, dispersing the lightning.
He didn’t wait for those things to decide whether to flee or stay, but crouched slightly and then pounced toward them like a cheetah.
In the process, he lifted his revolver and pulled the trigger over and over.
Bang, bang, bang—!
The sound of gunfire was almost continuous.
Bullets that carried flas but were otherwise ordinary solid projectiles passed through their mist-like bodies without appearing to inflict harm; however, the flas on the bullets ignited them directly.
One by one, they exploded into fla as if they were catkins that had encountered fire.
“Clang, clang, clang~”
A mass of colorful crystals, containing strange energies, fell from midair.
“Tsk, bursting gold coins.”
Colin’s gaze wandered among those dozens of crystal stones, and then he noticed among them so small tallic objects the size of a thumb, densely engraved with sothing.
He reached out his hand, flas swirling, and took those thumb-sized things into his hand, then a quick scan inford him of the situation with the abnormal creatures they had just encountered.
“Containnt Subject label, number 6-978341, containnt level, level 6 and below, low threat, low intelligence, specialized silicon-based life, experint report, each ‘6-978341’ can produce about seventy-four kwh of electricity per hour, can survive for three years with continuous power supply, after death their crystals can absorb stellar thermal energy, most can regenerate within three months to a year in appropriate conditions, with a dium third level difficulty of hatching…”
“The energy departnt of the starship rates it as having low developnt value, not as good as demons…”
“Tsk, seventy-four degrees of electricity an hour and that’s considered low?”
Colin’s eyes lit up, the company might not value this, but he found it quite impressive, seventy-four kwh an hour ant that a single one could power a large building…
Crucially, it seed to have no pollution, a high-efficiency clean energy source.
The thod to stimulate its power generation and its limitations were all detailed on the tal plates of the containnt tags.
He could easily make use of it after a bit of work…
As for hatching thods, besides naturally splitting through unknown ans, they could also be artificially forced into a crystalline state and then divided into a certain amount; after so exposure to the sun, they could turn into two…
The process reminded him sowhat of a potato, though the results were sowhat unstable.
“Let’s call it ‘Plasma Potato,’ this thing the company doesn’t care for because it doesn’t have a high limit, but it’s just perfect for us.” Colin nodded, the company at its peak might have disdained it, but he didn’t. Without any rush to hand it over, he collected so of the crystals.
This wasn’t a creature that died from being drained of energy; its revival ti was much faster, likely just a few days before it could co back to life and continue to contribute to human energy.
In Colin’s view, this was definitely a strategic energy source…
As soone who enjoyed sharing and never hogged good things to himself, Colin picked up over a dozen before rembering to share with his teammates, selecting two “Plasma Potatoes” and handed them to the four people around him.
“Each of you take half of these two.” Colin instructed.
“What’s this thing?” Fuer Mushroom didn’t refuse, but was curious.
The other three felt the sa, all turning their eyes to Colin, waiting for an explanation.
“Have a look for yourselves.” Colin handed them the containnt number tags.
Then…
“Sheesh, damn, I think I just saw the future of new energy sources beyond nuclear power…”
“Life ntor Adorable” looked at the crystal stone in their hand, their face showing astonishnt.
Although the label ntioned sothing about having lower value than demons, the extraction of demon energy was far more difficult, not as easy and suitable as this one.
Of course, the only limitation was that there was a cap on how many tis they could divide; it seed like beyond a certain number, their efficiency would decrease, the difficulty of division would increase, and the results would beco unstable and so on…
Even so, it was still seen as highly valuable in everyone’s eyes.
“It’s no wonder that it cos from a starship capable of interstellar travel; even the little things that slip through seem like they could solve the biggest problems plaguing our world…” Little Chicken mused while pocketing the items, planning to research how to use them back ho.
If they could find the technology to make them hatch naturally, they’d truly be entering a new era.
Fuer Mushroom, hearing the comnt, couldn’t help but make a joke, “You know, if this thing spreads, there probably won’t be ‘oil in the backyard, life couldn’t be sweeter,’ right?”
