The successful fusion of the T-virus signified that Chen Chen had finally taken the second step of transcendence.
The first step was, of course, the crystalline.
Speaking of which, to prevent the two types of gene expression from clashing and triggering unknown genetic mutations, Chen Chen deliberately irradiated a few crystalline on a clone that had been fused with the T-virus to conduct an experiment.
The results of the experiment were very smooth. The T-virus and the crystalline did not affect each other at all.
Soon, it was the second day after Chen Chen woke up from the life incubator.
At this time, Chen Chen was standing in the Field training room. Beside him, there were four nearly transparent playing cards suspended in the air. They looked like four elves jumping up and down, circling around Chen Chen in a cute and playful manner, doing a group exercise.
Chen Chen closed his eyes slightly, only using the Field energy that extended outside his body to perceive everything around him.
At this moment, a swarm of flies was released from the cage by a Black Knight. They circled around the Field training room, buzzing from time to time. However, when one of the flies flew near Chen Chen, its body suddenly became light!
The fly landed lightly on the ground. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that its body had been sliced into two. Moreover, the area where it was separated was extremely smooth, as if it had been sliced by some kind of sharp blade!
Following that, several more flies passed by Chen Chen's vicinity, but they did not realize what had happened at all. One by one, they were cut in half and fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
After that, Chen Chen simply walked around the training room, actively looking for the flies. As soon as these flies came within five meters of Chen Chen, they would immediately be flashed by a nearly transparent playing card.
After the playing card flashed by, one of the flies would inevitably be cut in half.
When all the flies in the laboratory had been killed, Chen Chen opened his eyes again. He looked at the dead flies on the ground and smiled with satisfaction.
"The Field energy can now extend to a distance of five meters."
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice, "This means that as long as there are no obstructions, I can perceive most objects within five meters around me. This perception is even more sensitive than vision, closer to the sense of touch...
"Still, it's a shame that the power of the Field energy hasn't increased."
After the training was completed, the four poker cards flew back into the metal box in Chen Chen's hand like swallows returning to their nest.
After experimenting with his Field energy again, Chen Chen came to the conclusion that after fusing with the T-virus, his Field energy did not change in terms of strength, but the precision of his control of Field energy had improved a lot.
Within five meters, even a strand of hair on a human's body could be clearly sensed and affected.
Still, Chen Chen felt that he should get his hands on all the crystalline fragments as soon as possible.
Chen Chen had delayed absorbing the crystalline fragments for more than a year. In the beginning, he absorbed a few, then a dozen or so crystalline fragments. By the end of last year, he had absorbed five hundred fragments in one go. The amount of radiation absorbed by Chen Chen was about half the amount absorbed by the protagonist in the movie.
That's right, only half.
This was because Chen Chen had already designed it during the filming of the movie. The crystalline in the shape of a sea urchin was measured to be between 3.5 to 4 cubic meters while the crystalline fragment was 0.001 cubic meters.
This meant that if Chen Chen wanted to absorb the entire crystalline fragment, he would need to absorb more than three thousand fragments in total.
In the movie, there were three people who were exposed to the crystalline radiation, which meant that each of them shared one-third of the radiation. This was why Chen Chen had only absorbed half of the radiation of the protagonist in the movie.
However, from Chen Chen's perspective, this kind of radiation that had an effect on genes would gradually become immune as the body adapted to it. It could not be stacked indefinitely. Otherwise, it would be too outrageous.
The only thing was, where the limit was.
Moreover, Chen Chen would not be able to obtain the remaining half of the crystalline fragments in the near future.
This was because Chen Chen had just entered Gantz once, which consumed most of the energy accumulated in the USB drive. Even the PK Armor and the Prada Spaceship were left there.
It would probably take some time before he could obtain enough electricity to absorb the crystalline fragments.
Fortunately, the Spire Experimental Base was currently researching a new generation of inertial fusion reactors. After learning the lesson of the first generation, the second-generation reactor was expected to be improved by seven times, reaching a power of two million kilowatt-hours, which was the same power as Chen Chen's nuclear power plant.
Although it could not be said that the energy was unlimited, at least Chen Chen would not feel too distressed when it came to absorbing items such as crystalline fragments, the PK Armor, and so on.
Now, Chen Chen focused on the research of the E language and the collection of metallic germanium.
Metallic germanium had a great use value in modern industry. It had extensive and important applications in semiconductors, aerospace measurement and control, nuclear physics detection, optical fiber communications, infrared optics, solar cells, chemical catalysts, biomedicine, and other fields. It was an important strategic resource.
In the electronics industry, in the pretreatment of alloys, and in the optical industry, it could also be used as a catalyst.
Internationally, the value of germanium metal was about 1,000 US dollars per kilogram. It was not very expensive, but it was not cheap either. If Chen Chen wanted to build a Gantz server machine of the same size as the one in Gantz's dimension, he would need about a thousand tons of germanium metal, which was one billion US dollars.
Moreover, the construction of the Gantz server machine was not too simple. It was completely solid. As long as the shape and the lines on the surface were accurate to the nanometer level, its effects could be maximized.
The only difficulty in the construction aspect was the Gantz satellite and the Gantz sphere, which served as the relay station. Only after the server machine was set up and connected to the relay station could Chen Chen teleport humans or other objects between the Gantz sphere and a certain area targeted by the Gantz satellite.
Still, with the financial groups from various continents in Europe and the United States backing him, these technologies were not difficult to obtain.
At this time, Chen Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead, turned around, and walked out of the Field training room. In the headset, Little X kept reporting. "In truth, there's no need to obtain germanium metal entirely through purchasing channels. After all, such a huge purchase volume almost exceeds the annual production value of germanium metal. It's too eye-catching. If possible, we can obtain it through mining."
Chen Chen did not speak and waited for Little X to continue.
"Also, in the African Continent, there are two proven germanium mines with reserves totaling 500 tons. They are located in the Rainbow Nation and Angola. If we can buy these two germanium mines, we'll solve half of the raw material supply problem..."
When he heard Little X's suggestion, Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully. "Your idea is not bad. Although it'll take some time, it's more reliable. Besides, the Black Knights are gradually getting more manpower..."
"Then tell Old Qian to send someone to talk to these two governments."
