With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 109 Antimatter! ! !
Varela City, underground of the North Church.

The lights are bright in the metal passage that has been quiet for hundreds of years.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a figure staggered down the metal stairs and finally stopped in front of a metal door large enough for one person to pass through.

Chen Fan put his hands on his knees and panted as he looked at the flickering orange light coming from the metal door.

After taking a brief breath, he raised the PW-1 plasma pistol in his hand again, and slowly walked into the metal gate under the protection of the personal protective force field.

Although the images returned by the micro-detectors are clear and restored, there is still a qualitative difference between personal experience and watching on video.

As soon as he walked into the metal gate, Chen Fan was deeply shocked by the huge underground space in front of him.

According to a rough estimate, the entire underground space covers an area far greater than the four main churches combined!
Coupled with the towering dome...

Standing in front of the metal gate, Chen Fan was as small as an ant.

In the central area of ​​this huge underground space, a huge crystal shining with orange light was connected by countless thick cables, hanging high in the air and flickering with light.

The crystal surface is smooth and the overall shape is a regular dodecahedron.

With the help of the drone's camera observation, you can also see a dazzling light spot inside the translucent crystal, and the orange light is emitted from this light spot.

Around the dazzling spot, the translucent orange crystal is dotted with a large amount of flocculent material that looks like impurities.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan couldn't help but have a strange suspicion in his heart.

The giant orange crystal resembles a heart, and the cables connected to it resemble blood vessels surrounding the heart.

And every alternation of light is actually the beating of the heart...

"Scanning the target..."

Yi's voice interrupted Chen Fan's wandering thoughts.

Unlike usual, the scanning time this time was extremely long.

After a long time, Yi's voice sounded again: "Basic scan has been completed."

"Warning! A large amount of antimatter has been detected inside the target!"

Before Chen Fan could react, Yi had already sounded the alarm.

Chen Fan's eyes showed a bit of surprise: "Antimatter?"

"Isn't this thing much more advanced than controllable nuclear fusion?"

"More than just high-level, the two are not on the same level at all." Yi quickly explained, "Antimatter is the opposite state of normal matter."

"When they come into contact with matter, they annihilate each other and release extremely huge amounts of energy."

"The energy release efficiency of annihilation of matter and antimatter is quite high, almost equal to 100%, which far exceeds the energy release efficiency of controllable nuclear fusion."

"Because of this, it has become a universal energy source for many interstellar civilizations."

Yi added again: "Normally, only civilizations above level three have access to the technology to create and use antimatter."

Chen Fan swallowed and looked at the orange crystal hanging in the air: "This thing... shouldn't explode, right?"

"Hard to say."

Chen Fan was shocked: "...Ah?!"

What does it mean to be hard to say? !

He subconsciously took a half step back and turned his gaze to the smart terminal in his hand: "Then the power of this thing's explosion..."

"Although there is not much antimatter left in this crystal, I can responsibly tell you that once it leaks..."

"The entire city of Varela will be blown into the sky in an instant!"

Looking at the simulated picture in the holographic projection beside him, Chen Fan suddenly felt a thin layer of cold sweat oozing out from his back. Originally, Chen Fan thought that building a city above a nuclear fusion reactor was outrageous enough, but...

He never expected that the goddess was crazier than he imagined!

The city of Varela was actually built on top of an antimatter pile!
……

As time went by, more detailed scanning and analysis results gradually appeared in front of Chen Fan.

"Analysis shows that this crystal works similarly to an antimatter battery, but..."

"It's a little strange."

After the words fell, the holographic panel in front of Chen Fan quickly enlarged, and a large number of complex details appeared on the panel.

"This machine has conducted a comprehensive analysis of its internal energy pathways and found that many energy pathways are closed. The connection between these cables and the crystal is very rough, and only some relatively thick and obvious energy pathways have been selected. Make the connection.”

Looking at the large number of tiny structures in front of him, Chen Fan felt that his brain was a bit out of use: "What...what do you mean?"

Yi gave a simple answer: "To put it simply, compared with the surrounding cables, this crystal is a foreign object, and its original purpose is not to supply energy to Varela City."

"Relic technology."

Chen Fan's eyes moved and he quickly remembered the information mentioned in the resistance diary: "I'm afraid this is something the goddess obtained from the so-called ruins. It is normal for such a situation to occur..."

Yi interrupted Chen Fan: "This is not over yet."

"There are also some problems with the internal structure of the crystal."

Before Chen Fan could speak, Yi continued: "The accuracy of its internal energy pathways is low, and there are many obvious redundant structures. Although this does not cause safety hazards, it still does not meet the standards of technological creation. "

"Normally, this happens only with natural creations."

"After a comprehensive analysis of its internal structure, I believe it is more like..."

"An organ left behind by some kind of creature."

"……what?!"

"Biological organs?!!"

Chen Fan looked at the holographic projection in front of him blankly: "No, at least you can give me a reliable conclusion!"

"Use antimatter batteries as organs. Are you sure there is such a creature in the world?"

Faced with Chen Fan's doubts, Yi did not speak, but silently called up a database information: "So far, among the organisms discovered in the People's Federation, more than 100 million species use nuclear fission and nuclear fusion as their energy source."

"Although there are relatively few organisms that use antimatter as their energy source, there are more than a million species."

"As for higher-level creatures, there are tens of thousands of creatures that use vacuum zero-point energy as their energy source."

Chen Fan: "...ah???"

Do you think humans are the weakest creatures in the universe?
After realizing what Chen Fan was thinking, Yi gave an affirmative answer.

【You are right. 】

[Compared to other creatures in the universe, humans, creatures that can only survive in specific and harsh environments, are indeed not powerful. 】

Chen Fan lowered his head and looked at his body, which was no longer thin. He couldn't believe this conclusion.

What about the terrifying Ape erectus?
That's it?

ps: Chapter 3 is finally finished...

I am super and Kavin is so stuck that I want to die.
