Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 138 A great discovery that will go down in history
Odysseus wrote in the research report: It is not surprising that microorganisms are so active in the soil of the "God's Forsaken Land". After all, these guys have very tenacious vitality. I remember that the environment in space cannot kill some microorganisms.

But the microorganisms in the "God's Forsaken Land" are obviously more aggressive, and they should have undergone some mutations.

If I'm not mistaken, the virus there is even more powerful. If people from outside go there, the most likely way they will die is either being killed by monsters hiding in the dark or dying of illness.

Insects have always been very tenacious. I still remember the giant dragonfly fossil with a wingspan of about 3 meter that I saw in the museum before I traveled through time. It was 1 million years old.

These guys' vitality is truly enviable; they've already survived several apocalypses...

Having written this, Odysseus looked towards the test bench over there and saw a faint glint in the container of heated sludge.

He got up to check and found some very tiny crystals in the heated mud!

The further down you go, the more of these crystals there are.

Odysseus soon realized that it was the heat that gave birth to these crystals. He kept stirring with a glass rod, and eventually the crystals became more and more and were evenly mixed in the dry soil.

This reaction puzzled Odysseus. When he observed with a microscope just now, he did not find any minerals in the soil that could produce crystals. Why did this kind of crystal appear when heated?

Or are there even smaller minerals in there that require more specialized instruments to observe?

When the number of crystals in the soil stopped increasing, Odysseus used tweezers to pick up a crystal the size of a gravel and placed it on a piece of glass. Odysseus took a magnifying glass and saw that although these crystals were very small, they were very regular hexagons.

It was crystal clear and emitted a soft glow, but the light was slowly fading.

Odysseus looked at these crystals, and suddenly his spirit felt an almost invisible connection with the crystals!

He had a bold idea and used tweezers to place the crystal on the tip of his index finger, injecting a little spirituality into it.

The crystal's light unexpectedly became brighter again!
This little guy emits a soft glow and looks very beautiful.

Odysseus placed the crystal back on the glass and took a deep breath. "My previous thought was correct. These crystals can actually store spiritual energy!" The question now is, how long can the spiritual energy in the crystal be stored?

He looked quietly at the crystal in front of him. Odysseus estimated that it would only take a few minutes, or at most ten minutes!
Time passed by minute by minute, and Odysseus didn't expect that after waiting for more than half an hour, the brightness of the crystal was still the same!
This is strange. Odysseus is sure that he has only injected a trace of spiritual energy into the crystal. The crystal is still glowing, so why hasn't the spiritual energy been consumed in half an hour?

But then, Odysseus seemed to understand: these faint lights are the colors of the spirit itself! They are not emitted by consuming the spirit!
Spirituality itself is invisible and intangible, but Odysseus discovered in some previous experiments that some crystal-like spiritual materials can reflect the color of the spirit itself!

That color is a faint light, which is something that Odysseus cannot explain with experiments and scientific logic, because the colors in nature do not emit light, but only reflect light.

The color reflected by spirituality is soft light.

These lights can be understood as colors such as red or yellow, which are the "colors" that the object possesses.

Seeing that he didn't know how long he would have to wait, Odysseus immediately used the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to copy the small crystal on the glass and speed up the flow of time for the copy.

At this time, Odysseus discovered the second wonderful use of the ability of "copying". If it was not a copy but the original body, the "Wilderness of Knowledge" would have no way to speed up the flow of time.

This ability can be used to conduct experiments that take a long time to complete.

As time went by faster and faster, Odysseus became more and more surprised, because this tiny crystal had only been dimly shining for three months before it began to dim!
After there was no more light, the crystal cracked and turned into ordinary soil again.

Odysseus stood up and paced back and forth in agitation.

This is a huge discovery. In the extraordinary world, there are also materials that can store spirituality, and they are basically crystal-like things.

This material has a wide range of applications. For example, the sealing of many sealed objects can be completed by using the "Spiritual Wall".

If it is the main material of Beyonder characteristics or promotion, it can last for a long time if it is sealed with the "Spiritual Wall".

However, if the seal has negative effects, the "Wall of Spirituality" will be consumed quickly and spirituality must be replenished frequently. To be on the safe side, extraordinary people will place a crystal that can store spirituality on the outer layer of the seal.

To keep the "Spiritual Wall" operating for a long time and prevent accidents from happening due to forgetfulness or similar low-level mistakes.

Another function is to create an environment for storing high-level spiritual materials. Some expensive high-level spiritual materials not only require a "spiritual wall", but also a high-spiritual environment within the spiritual wall.

In this case, there is no problem in storing it for another year or two.

We can't ask an extraordinary person to provide spiritual energy for spiritual materials all the time. The cost would be too high.

Therefore, they use crystals that store spiritual energy to continuously release spiritual energy, keeping the environment inside the "spiritual wall" at a high spiritual level and slowing the loss of spiritual energy from the materials. However, those crystals that store spiritual energy are very expensive because these materials are located deep underground and the production volume is very small.

And Odysseus seemed to have found a substitute, as if he had seen piles of gold pounds waving at him.

However, Odysseus quickly calmed down because these crystals were too small and the spiritual energy they could store was very limited.

Odysseus looked at the container that had been heated before. There were many tiny crystals in it. He wondered if it would be better if he put them together in a glass bottle?
Thinking of this, Odysseus decided to use water to see if he could distinguish the crystals from the soil.

He put a few shovelfuls of soil into a flat-bottom flask, then poured in clean water and stirred it. The water became turbid and the crystals floated in the turbid water.

In order to see the crystals more clearly, Odysseus injected spirituality into the flat-bottomed flask.

Then, a magical scene happened!

After emitting a faint glow, the crystals actually moved closer to each other, forming a small ball that emitted a brightness similar to that of a small energy-saving lamp!

Odysseus stared at the beautiful ball for half a minute before he suddenly came to his senses and continued to operate.

He shook the flat-bottom flask a few more times, then filtered the muddy water with a metal mesh, rinsed it with clean water, and finally obtained a ball of light with a slightly soft outer layer.

At this moment, Odysseus first realized that the world's first "extraordinary lamp" had appeared!

The appearance of these crystals completes the last link of all Odysseus's previous research: energy storage carrier.

He seemed to have seen an extraordinary and sci-fi world, a world full of mystical symbols and balls emitting soft light.

Odysseus held the ball with some trembling, and suddenly remembered that the most important thing now was to see if this ball of light could store spiritual energy for three months.

However, Odysseus discovered that the spirituality in this sphere was not in a saturated state.

Since we are observing the storage time, of course we must first let the spirituality be in a saturated state.

So Odysseus continued to inject spirituality into the sphere, and soon the sphere became a little brighter and as hard as crystal.

Odysseus once again used the power of the "Wild Knowledge" to copy the glowing crystal and speed up the flow of time. To Odysseus's surprise, the sphere actually lit up for more than a whole year!

He began pacing again in agitation, but quickly calmed down again.

Because a new question was put before him: How were these small crystals produced?
Then Odysseus took up the glass rod and turned the heated soil.

Previously, the silt and soil were heated together, but small crystals appeared in the silt, but nothing in the soil!

This first rules out the possibility that the small crystals were produced by the special environment of the "God-forsaken Land".

Odysseus paced and pondered for a moment, then sat down to think. Suddenly, he remembered that he had just discovered that the mutations of the "mutated schistosomiasis" and "mutated castor" were even greater! Both of them were in the swamp, which was around the place where he got the bucket of silt.
Odysseus seemed to see a ray of light before his eyes. He continued thinking along this line and came up with a guess: because the extraordinary power has different effects on the soil and silt, the silt that was more affected produced those small crystals.

Soon, Odysseus had a further guess: this intensity standard is likely to be the influence of the "demigod" level. Small crystals will appear at the influence above demigod, but not below demigod.

It could also be at the angel level, but the probability is low, because if there is such a powerful seal in the swamp outside Silver City, it is impossible for Silver City to have been unaware of it for so many years.

Odysseus stood up excitedly again and thought about how to verify it.

If it were someone else, they would need to find a demigod-level helper, but Odysseus did not need that, because after being promoted to Sequence 7, the "Central Simulator" could already simulate the abilities and powers of a demigod.

So Odysseus returned to the real world again, pulled out the pots of flowers he had planted, and sent the pots and soil into the "wilderness of knowledge".

After shoveling some soil, Odysseus used the "Central Simulator" to simulate the power of a demigod, and then exerted influence on the soil.

After repeated impact for a few seconds, Odysseus quickly heated it up, and the small crystals appeared again.

While heating, Odysseus was thinking about this problem, and soon he found the reason why the small crystal appeared: divinity!
After Sequence 4, there is divinity, although it is rare, but it does exist.

In Odysseus's "extraordinary model", divinity plays a very important role!
It now seems that the divinity has even caused certain changes in the basic material of this world, turning the originally ordinary soil into something extraordinary.
