In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 525 The Power of Dark Energy
Since Boros's spaceship crashed, Shimizu has stayed here, studying the dark matter reactor with Kusno and Genus.

The ability to unlock the dark energy technology tree can bring significant benefits to technologies related to energy, such as the ark reactor and energy cores.

Inside the clear water were Kusno and Genus, and outside were Tony Stark and others from other worlds, who could exchange technology. Moreover, he used the Soul Binding Technician to extract the souls of the technicians on the spaceship, obtaining a wealth of knowledge as a reference and guidance.

After a thorough study, they managed to combine the strengths of various approaches and create a dark energy reaction matrix that integrates multiple technologies.

"After calculation, it is theoretically feasible. Now all that is missing is dark matter as fuel."

Kusno's brows furrowed with exhaustion, but his eyes shone brightly as he clutched an energy core no bigger than the palm of his hand.

This is the Dark Energy Matrix, which combines the technologies of the Arc Reactor and its pyrometallurgical core, and was created under the guidance of the scientific theory of dark energy.

By simply filling it with dark matter, dark energy can be generated from quantum fluctuations during the annihilation of virtual particle pairs.

"The high-energy particle collider is ready, but I'm not sure if it will be able to collect dark matter. Even with the Arc Reactor for power, this operation will cost tens of billions."

Kinos stood to one side, his face showing just as much fatigue as Kusno's.

They weren't the kind of tanky heroes with extremely high energy levels, yet they had spent so much time researching dark energy; they must be exhausted.

However, with Shimizu present, medical ninjutsu was able to alleviate their condition, so no problems arose.

"absolutely okay."

Qingshui Town, Dingdao.

Long ago, the DC universe's avatar, along with the people from Interstellar Labs, used the particle accelerator core component left behind by Harrison to rebuild and create a particle accelerator. Through precise calculations, they successfully detonated dark matter at the very moment it was generated but had not yet annihilated, granting the DC universe's avatar superpowers.

He understood the principle very well, but he lacked the necessary foundational knowledge to pinpoint the branch of this technology tree. Now that he had filled in the gaps, he was 100% confident.

"let's start."

Shimizu walked to the control panel, looked at the particle collider in front of him, which was as big as two football fields, and pressed the button.

"Subatomic particles have been introduced into the ring resonant accelerating cavity."

As Witeaus' electronic voice rang out, several lightning cores next to the particle collider also began to operate, emitting blinding flashes of electricity.

Developing this kind of thing is very expensive, mainly because it consumes a lot of energy. If Qingshui didn't have technologies like the Ark Reactor and the Lightning Core, it would probably have to empty its entire fortune to build a particle collider.

These lightning cores have long been energized by the arc reactor, and their energy output limit is higher, making it easier to accelerate hadrons to the speed of light.

When two hadrons carrying positive and negative charges are accelerated to the speed of light and form high-energy particles, their orbits can be controlled by electromagnetic fields, and they collide in a ring resonant accelerating cavity.

This process simulates the environment during the Big Bang in the early universe.

It is in such an environment that, when two high-energy particles collide, heavy particles are born at a certain moment.

Dark matter is a substance that cannot be detected or sensed by means of electromagnetic waves, but whose existence can be determined through physical calculations.

The reverse lightning from the future merely detonates dark matter, using the released dark energy to give humanity a chance to come into contact with the rules of the universe, thereby potentially gaining superpowers.

But what Shimizu and his team are going to do is go a step further.

They want to extract dark matter, store it, and use it as fuel in a nuclear reactor to release dark energy that is far more powerful than nuclear energy.

As Shimizu expected, the dark matter was successfully extracted.

Because it cannot be observed through conventional means, this dark matter is sealed inside a luminous metal sphere.

What traps dark matter is not the metal spheres, but energy and force fields.

There is a line at the bottom of the sphere, and the end of the line is connected to the Ark Reactor. The energy of the reactor is transmitted through the internal components of the sphere to generate a force field strong enough to bind dark matter.

"Did you make it?"

Kusno looked excited, as if he were looking at God.

For these scientists, the science represented by this technology is God.

"You'll know if you try it."

Shimizu turned off the particle collider, looked at the tiny ball, only ten centimeters in diameter, left in the very center, and instantly moved to open the hatch, reaching out his hand.

Just as he was about to pick it up, Shimizu frowned.

Good weight.

It was incredibly heavy; I almost couldn't lift it.

White Qi rose from Qing Shui's skin, and in an instant, Qing Shui activated the Reverse Life Triple Technique, strengthening his own power.

This time, it was relatively easy to pick it up.

Kusno and Genos exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and excitement in each other's eyes.

The latter immediately spoke up:

"It seems there's no need to try anymore. These masses couldn't have been generated out of thin air. In other words, we really extracted energy from the universe itself."

Kusno nodded in agreement:

"Even with Shimizu's top-tier physical abilities among S-class heroes, it's still difficult for him to lift the Dark Matter Force Field Ball. This is enough to show that the dark matter in it has an unknown weight, and we don't even need to calculate it to know that its energy is enough to destroy the planet we are standing on several times over."

"Let's try it out first."

Shimizu dragged the dark matter force field sphere toward Kusno and took the energy matrix device from his hand.

It's actually just a sphere that's two sizes larger than the dark matter force field sphere.

The two fit together perfectly.

At this moment, the nano-metal particles also attached themselves to Shimizu, transforming into the Black Warrior, and integrated the energy matrix in their hands into it, replacing the three energy cores that once existed.

As for the Arc Reactor, it still requires its energy confinement field to control dark matter.

Even if dark matter is depleted, the energy from the Arc Reactor can be used as a backup and input into the energy matrix, with an effect not much worse than that of the three energy cores.

In an instant, with the output of dark energy, a deep and mysterious blue-purple light shone on the Black Knight armor, fluctuating like breathing with quantum fluctuations. Strands of white pulsed energy also moved across the armor in sync with these fluctuations.

Inside the Black Knight armor, Shimizu also personally felt the dark energy.

"This feeling!"

Shimizu's eyes lit up, and he looked excited.

It wasn't just because of the exponentially increasing energy indicators displayed by the virtual projection on his retina, but also because he personally felt the dark energy.

This energy can be considered the underlying logic of a world, closely related to gravity and space.

Dark energy is the force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe because it has properties opposite to gravity.

The theory of relativity states that the essence of gravity is a geometric phenomenon produced by the distortion of spacetime structure by the mass of matter, and the existence of gravitational waves provides evidence for this finding of relativity.

Gravity, spacetime, and dark energy are linked together and seem to be moving towards unity.

In Qing Shui's understanding, space can be interpreted as a manifestation of dark energy.

Perhaps space itself is a dynamic energy field of dark energy.

Shimizu cannot confirm this conjecture for the time being, but if the main body can successfully refine the alternate dimension and upgrade it into a complete world, it can prove this conjecture during the world's upgrade process.

If the conjecture is true, it would be sufficient to demonstrate that the existence of dark matter can accelerate the evolution and expansion of a world.

A thought flashed quickly through Shimizu's mind.

"How are you feeling? Dark energy is very special, you shouldn't feel anything unusual, right?"

Kusno looked at Shimizu, who was standing motionless, and asked nervously.

"It's nothing. I didn't feel anything when the dark matter was bound by the force field before, but now, I'm inside a suit of armor with abundant dark energy, so the pressure is very high and there's high radiation. Fortunately, it doesn't have any negative effects on me."

Shimizu maintained his reverse-life state, stood inside the battle armor, and raised his hand.

He is indeed under immense pressure right now, but fortunately, he possesses physical attributes that surpass those of a high-level Dragon-class monster, so the impact is not too significant.

As for the high radiation, it doesn't have any negative effects.

He had already activated the Reverse Life Triple, putting himself in a completely energy-based state. These special radiations with dark energy properties were like charging him up, enhancing his own power in an alternative way.

Judging from his energy level alone, the destructive power he can unleash now is even greater than that of Boros.

He can also unleash attacks of the level of the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon.

Although it consumes a lot of energy, it can definitely fire more than one shot.

It might take four or five shots to exhaust the energy, but Shimizu estimated that if he were to unleash such an attack, the pressure of dark energy he would have to withstand would be even greater, and the armor would likely not be able to withstand it.

If this leads to the shattering of the energy matrix and the destruction of the metal sphere, that would be quite dangerous.

We'll have to figure out a way to replace the outer shell of this metal ball with vibranium.

Previously, in the Valley of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, the One-Man World comprehended many of the rules contained in the Reality Stone and mastered an ability to transform matter. However, it consumed a great deal of energy, time, and effort, and did not yield much vibranium.

Fortunately, both the original entity and its incarnation in this world began to use this ability to create vibranium after reaching the limiter's bottleneck.

Over time, several hundred grams of vibranium have been accumulated, enough to strengthen the force field metal sphere and prevent the force field inside the metal sphere from being affected by excessive power output.

Alternatively, pause briefly between every two powerful attacks to give the small nanorobots assembled from nanomaterial particles time to repair the metal force field spheres affecting the energy matrix.

In summary, this level of ultimate ability has a relatively short cooldown, and if you really need to use it, you can ignore the cooldown and use it continuously at the cost of destroying your armor.

If the force field generator is found to be damaged due to overload, just use spatial abilities to transfer the body away in advance.

"This energy parameter limit... is even higher than the state of the cosmic overlord Boros before his death that you recorded last time. If you fight again, even without the assistance of Tornado and Metal Bat, your chances of winning will be even higher."

Genus looked at the data that Shimizu uploaded to the control panel through his armor, adjusted his glasses, and sighed.

It's unbelievable that humans can possess such powerful abilities through technological means.

It seems that apart from water, there's really no one else who can handle it.

The immense pressure of dark energy is beyond the capacity of weaker S-class heroes to withstand, not to mention the special dark energy radiation it contains.

"The combat power displayed by the armor is only superficial. What is truly precious is the dark energy itself. This energy touches upon the most fundamental structure of the universe. It can be said that the amount of dark energy greatly affects the space and lifespan of a universe. On Boros's ship, those eccentrics in the field of technology only know how to use equipment to extract and create dark energy, but they do not truly master it."

The Black Warrior gradually receded like the tide, and a large number of nano-metal particles returned to the phagocytic sac, leaving only a metal chain around Qing Shui's neck, hanging the metal force field sphere on his chest.

"Knowledge in this field may be beyond the comprehension of the human brain. If one could truly extract and utilize dark energy from space, it would be comparable to a true creator god, because reaching that level would likely be close to creating the universe."

Kusno sighed.

"Creating a universe is probably still a stretch; at most, it's about expanding the universe."

Shimizu shook his head.

To extract dark energy, they need to use particle colliders to simulate the environment of the Big Bang singularity in the early universe.

Since then, the universe has evolved from a singularity into what it is today.

These dark energies have existed in this universe since the Big Bang; they are simply extracting the dark energy that originally belonged to this universe.

To truly create a universe from nothing, there can't be just one universe; rather, there are infinite multiverses generated at the moment the universe is created.

This falls into the category of an omnipotent universe, which is at least one level higher than the higher-dimensional multiverse.

Shimizu believes that light energy can create dark energy, but that's not enough.

However, the ability to create dark energy from nothing is indeed likely a power possessed by multiverse-level beings—they all have their own worlds, or they themselves are equivalent to a world.

The process of strengthening this world requires dark energy. If they want to become stronger, they can either steal it from other worlds or produce it themselves.

If the original body truly becomes a dimensional demon god, will it have the ability to generate dark energy?
