Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

The Chinese transport plane departed, delivering the drop of Ancestral Dragon's blood to the laboratory in Sky City, where the appraisal work continued.

Hannah's holographic projection appeared in front of Shen Fei to report on her work.

Her tone sounded somewhat helpless.

"Sir, based on your second criterion, we have completed the second round of screening for the remaining pledges."

A 3D model of a warehouse appeared behind her, filled with boxes marked in red.

"The result was... 98 percent of the items failed the review."

"A total of 13,427 items, all treated as ordinary ores or industrial products with little energy reaction, are currently piled up in Warehouse No. 3, awaiting your instructions on how to dispose of them."

Shen Fei was playing a holographic motion-sensing game that Hannah had just downloaded with Su Man.

The game is simple: you grow and steal vegetables in a virtual farm.

Right now, Shen Fei is controlling his little character to sneak into Su Man's vegetable garden, preparing to steal her freshly ripened radishes.

He wasn't interested in the rubbish Hannah was reporting, and without even looking up, he said:

"Handling suggestions? What other suggestions could there be? Melt it all down, refine it into basic elements, and send it to the moon as building materials."

"Wait a moment!"

Su Man happened to catch Shen Fei in the game and smashed his miniature figure away with a giant hammer before taking off her holographic glasses and laughing.

"More than 10,000 pieces, and they were all melted down like that? What a waste."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Maybe there really is some treasure inside? Just like in novels, good things always look ordinary, and the protagonist picks them up from a junkyard."

Looking at Su Man's innocent expression, Shen Fei smiled.

Su Man's words reminded him.

My thinking seems to have fallen into a fixed pattern. I always feel that good things should be like the blood of the ancestral dragon, making a big splash as soon as they appear.

But the universe is so vast, anything is possible.

Some principles may manifest themselves in a very subtle way.

"Yes, you have a point."

Shen Fei flicked Su Man's nose, smiled, and his eyes became somewhat playful.

"Okay, then we'll do as you say today and go on a treasure hunt in the junkyard."

Su Man's eyes lit up:

"Really? Then let's go check out Warehouse Number Three!"

"No need for that."

Shen Fei didn't get up. He pulled Su Man's hand and made her sit down next to him, then slowly closed his eyes.

"Hold on tight, we're going to try something different."

next second.

His mental energy was instantly released from the observation deck, surpassing the speed of light and physical medium, precisely covering Warehouse No. 3 several kilometers away.

"Buzz—"

A massive amount of information flooded into Shenfei's mind.

The molecular formula of an iron ore, the degree of rust on a bronze sword, the carbon atom arrangement of a diamond, the information of dust left on a piece of pottery from thousands of years ago... a jumble of data surged in his consciousness.

This amount of information is enough to burn out a supercomputer instantly, but for Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) right now, it's like standing in a busy street corner listening to background noise.

He filtered out the noise and used his mental power to perceive the essence of each item.

Amidst this chaotic information.

Sudden.

Shen Fei's consciousness detected a faint, yet pure, still point.

That spot is not in the midst of the noise.

It is the end of the noise.

It does not emit energy, reflect information, or even interact with its surroundings.

It's like a real, yet tiny, black hole of information, absorbing all energy and information fluctuations that come near it completely, leaving no trace.

If Shen Fei hadn't used this God's-eye view to conduct a comprehensive scan, and had only used instruments to examine each item one by one, even if the examination had lasted for ten thousand years, the conclusion would only be that it doesn't exist.

"Found it."

Shen Fei smiled.

He opened his eyes and gave commands to the air.

"07, Hercules, the six-armed robot connected to Warehouse No. 3, is performing a grabbing task."

"Coordinates: Section G, Row 13, Floor 7, Container M-734"

"The target is a pebble-like stone in the bottom left corner of the box."

Inside Warehouse No. 3.

A heavy-duty transport robot, ready to go, instantly lit up its red electronic eye.

Its massive metal body glided silently, its six robotic arms unfolding, precisely arriving at the designated shelf.

Among a pile of deep-sea minerals labeled "Source: Deepest part of the Mariana Trench, Composition: Unknown," one of its robotic arms extends two delicate grippers.

Very gently, he picked up a fist-sized, grayish-black stone from a pile of ore.

The stone had a smooth surface without any sharp edges, and looked like an ordinary pebble that you could pick up anywhere on the beach.

A few minutes later.

The stone was delivered to Shen Fei via an internal magnetic levitation tube and gently landed on the table.

Evelyn was also called over. She looked at the unremarkable stone with a puzzled expression.

"Boss, is this the discovery you were talking about?"

She picked up the stone, activated the handheld terminal, and a blue light swept across the stone's surface.

On the terminal screen, a series of "Unable to resolve" messages immediately popped up.

"Ingredients...cannot be analyzed."

"Density...cannot be measured."

"Energy reaction... None."

Evelyn pursed her lips and put the stone back on the table:

"Boss, this should be a rock with a particularly dense structure. Its atomic structure might be quite unique, and our scanner can't penetrate it. But ultimately, it's still a rock."

She was preparing to classify it as an interesting physical sample and take it to the lab to test its hardness.

Shen Fei stopped her.

He stared intently at the stone.

"Evelyn, go to Laboratory B-1 and use the direct connection to Genesis Embers to perform a pulsed resonance scan on it."

Evelyn was stunned.

Using the embers of creation?

That is their current core energy source, and every time it is used, it requires high-level approval.

Now they're actually using it to scan a broken rock?

"Turn the power to the lowest setting."

Shen Fei added, "0.001% is fine."

Although she didn't understand, Evelyn immediately carried out the order.

Soon, an almost invisible energy ray, ten thousand times thinner than a hair, was emitted from the laboratory and precisely projected onto the gray-black stone.

The moment the energy touched the stone.

The stone suddenly became transparent!

Its outer shell seemed to have vanished, becoming a mere phantom.

At the center of the stone, an energy core the size of a fingernail was visible, emitting a soft white light.

That core is very understated.

The light and energy it emits are all bound to itself by an invisible force field, with no leakage whatsoever.

If Shen Fei hadn't used the energy of the Creation Remnants to activate it, it probably would have remained dormant forever.

"My God..." Evelyn covered her mouth, staring blankly.

At this time.

AI 07's cold voice echoed in the room, but this time it carried a heavy tone.

"Reporting, sir, a life energy core of unknown attributes has been discovered."

"We are currently attempting to conduct a comparative analysis of the energy purity of the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon..."

"Analysis complete. The energy purity of this core is 17,438 times that of the Ancestral Dragon's blood."

"Furthermore, the core is in a state of minimal self-sufficiency, and within it, a lossless self-energy cycle is taking place in ways we cannot comprehend."

The entire room was eerily quiet.

Evelyn was stunned.

The blood of the Ancestral Dragon is something that is close to the manifestation of laws.

The energy purity of this thing in front of us is more than 17,000 times that of the others?

A lossless self-circulation?

This means...

Shen Fei's face remained calm, as if he had expected all of this.

He picked up the stone that had restored it to its original state and winked at Su Man, who was standing beside him with her mouth agape in astonishment.

He leaned close to Su Man's ear and whispered:

"Manman, it seems we've found the perpetual motion machine for our manor."

"With this power supply, we won't have to pay electricity bills anymore."

Su Man burst out laughing at his joke.

Using such a precious item as a generator for your own home?

Only this man could do such a thing.

Shen Fei casually put the stone into his storage space, then said to Hannah and Evelyn, who were still standing there:

"This stone is part of my personal collection."

He paused, then, in a nonchalant tone, decided the fate of the tens of thousands of pieces of junk in the warehouse.

"The rest...we'll melt them all down and use them to make high-density building materials."

"The main framework of the lunar base is just missing a batch of foundations."
