Researcher Yita was quite proud as he showcased his research result to the gathered geometric aliens, a gigantic owl beast contained within an energy shield!
This was a native amphibious creature from their home planet, cherished for its delectable meat, cultivated on many planets, and abundant in number; naturally, the leaders present had all seen them before.
However, this owl beast was different—its entire body shimmered with an azure hue, constantly flowing like ripples of water.
Yita extended an appendage from his body and tapped lightly in the void, prompting a light screen to emerge, displaying various data about the energy-transformed owl beast, which could only be described as excessively high.
"We found that after the owl beast underwent energy transformation, it demonstrated extraordinary physical functions, and its intelligence was greatly enhanced. It could retain its memories and cognitive abilities completely and even master the ability to communicate using electromagnetic waves through training. It also possessed a unique ability to manipulate elements within a certain range..."
As he spoke, Yita issued several simple commands, directing the owl beast inside the energy shield to demonstrate its capabilities to the assembled disc leaders.
In fact, the experiment had already succeeded before, but in order to secure more funding, Yita did not rush to report immediately but instead spent fifty atomic hours conducting basic training on it.
"From any perspective, the life tier of an energy creature far surpasses that of carbon-based life forms. This is a viable path of evolution!" Yita said with fervor.
The disc leaders present were extremely excited. If Yita had not concealed any data, then this transformation of the energy creature could be deemed perfect, capable of freely transitioning between energy and material states.
This type of energy source, known as Magic Power, was simply like the elementary particles of the universe!
"Can you tell me how long its lifespan is?" a ring-shaped leader eagerly asked.
"A conservative estimate would be over ten thousand years!" Yita stated with absolute certainty.
Ten thousand years... Yita’s response left the gathering of geometric aliens in astonishment; lifespan was a challenging hurdle for every species.
Although their lifespans had significantly increased after physical modifications in the space era, extending from five hundred to a thousand years depending on technological levels, no one would complain about having too long a lifespan, especially those leaders wielding power.
"Have you conducted group experiments? What is the success rate? Are there any side effects?" another eager disc leader asked, his lifespan nearing its end, thus he was exceptionally enthusiastic about the energy transformation and wished to commence immediately.
Yita immediately responded, stating the current success rate was only about seventy percent but assured that with continuous improvements, he was confident in reaching a hundred percent!
Upon hearing this, the geometric aliens in the hall were thrown into an almost frenetic state!
Centuries ago, the geometric civilization had experimented with similar energy transformation technologies. However, they encountered numerous problems during the experiments, with a pitifully low success rate, which led to its eventual shelving. Yita’s rapid major breakthrough was also thanks to these research materials that had been recently declassified.
And the good news was not just this one; researchers working on ecosystems and weaponry also reported breakthroughs in their studies on Magic Power.
The most prioritized project of the geometric civilization—the Magic Power Derivation Plan, which had the most resources allocated—was first.
They had established "ranches" on over thirty experimental life planets, and everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. Due to the lack of dimensional manipulation technology similar to that of the Magic Empire, it would take a few years to see results.
Fortunately, as an alternative, the simultaneously implemented plan to cultivate Magic Power creatures in breeding pods had also made breakthroughs. It was now practiced industrially—breeding, rearing, and slaughtering, followed by the extraction of Magic Power, significantly speeding up the acquisition of this unique energy source.
And finally, about weapons development.
Since Magic Power could influence dimensions, it naturally lent itself to the development and refinement of artificial black hole technologies, greatly reducing the difficulty in creating a collapsing core, normalizing the production of this cutting-edge weapon which originally required ten years to construct, and even using it to develop more potent Dimension Weapons!
The multitude of revolutionary technologies based on Magic Power, although mostly still in their initial stages, already demonstrated a potential that was profoundly shocking.
In the midst of calls to increase research resources and start human trials as soon as possible, some leaders sensed something amiss—The Magic Empire had too readily handed over Magic Power and did not in any way attempt to stop or interfere with the experiments, which was indeed strange.
From previous encounters, this was certainly not a civilization that aspired to ’absolute peace’ and ’absolute benevolence.’
However, the few voices of dissent were simply insignificant; juxtaposed against the speculative conjectures and tangible technological advancements, everyone knew which option to choose.
If one were to hesitate due to certain concerns, there would be no need for science to progress at all.
Thousands of light-years away, Lynn was observing the discussions in the hall through the perspective of the energy-transformed owl beast.
It was undeniable that the situation here was even better than he had anticipated; in just over a year, the geometric civilization had cracked the most crucial Magic Power derivation and carbon-based life form energy transformation technologies, with methods much more ruthless than theirs.
The assembly’s plan for planetary ranches focused on survival of the fittest, relying on reproduction and natural selection to decide life and death, which for the planetary creatures, also constituted a full life.
Moreover, the consciousness fragments formed after the death of fourth-tier intelligent beings were too insubstantial to form thinking spirits; if left unattended, they would quickly return to nature, and it was this energy that they were transforming.
But Lynn also had to admit that the efficiency of this industrial-scale cultivation was extremely high, akin to livestock in cages in past-world industrial ranches, living a cycle of eating and sleeping until they were fattened and slaughtered.
Lynn was also highly interested in the geometric civilization’s ongoing artificial black hole technology.
If this device could indeed be mass-produced, dealing with the gods of the main world in the future would be much easier. Open a portal, and hundreds of artificial black holes could be sent through, shredding most gods and their realms in the process.
