My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

In order to store water resources in this area, in the 1950s, the American government took advantage of the natural conditions of Glen Canyon and built a dam on both sides of the canyon to block the only river in the area—the Colorado River.

This dam, located in the Grand Canyon, is called the Glen Canyon Dam. It is over 200 meters high, and its arched top is nearly 500 meters long.

The area around the dam is separated by high protective netting with signs that read "Keep Out," but since it's a barren area anyway, hardly anyone goes near it.

However, no one knows.

At the bottom of this dam is a huge secret research institute, which has almost hollowed out the entire canyon and covers an area the size of ten football fields.

The institute's walls were marked with the letters "HDPB," which translates to the Organization for Human Development and Peace. This is the familiar area code 9, 11, 18, etc.

The research institute is very large, and some parts are quite old, vaguely showing traces of the Age of Exploration. Through the cracks in the tightly closed doors of some rooms, you can see large culture tanks containing human bodies, organs, and tissues...

In the center of the research institute, a completely empty area, the size of five football fields, was separated by layers of isolation walls and had been thoroughly renovated.

These isolation walls are designed to protect against radiation, electricity, gamma rays, beta rays, bullets, heat... It seems people are trying every possible way to isolate this place.

Outside the nearly 100-meter-high isolation wall, various cutting-edge precision instruments were set up, and countless researchers in white coats were busy at work—some were collecting data, some were writing programs, and some were operating instruments… but they all shared a hint of fear in their expressions…

Chapter 444 The Fifth Force

The main hall at the top of the platform is protected by multiple layers of security.

The room was filled with various control consoles, large screens, computers, and more, with a dozen researchers in white coats operating these control devices.

Beside the special glass wall in the lobby, a middle-aged man dressed in an American military uniform looked down through the layers of glass at the area outside that was isolated by multiple layers of barriers.

A short while later, the automatic door opened.

An elderly man in his fifties, wearing a white coat and glasses, with graying temples, walked in.

He saw a man in military uniform.

He immediately stepped forward warmly, his demeanor a mixture of respect and obsequiousness, and said, "General Andrew, what brings you here?"

Under the bright, daylight-like illumination of the ceiling lights, General Andrew Jackson, an American, turned his face expressionlessly and looked up and down at Professor Harlem Rodney, an expert in radiochemistry.

Professor Harlem felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at.

Then, General Andrew Jerson spoke up: "The Pentagon is very dissatisfied with the progress of your research."

His voice was deep and resonant, and even in normal speech, it carried an aura of authority befitting a superior.

He was referring to the original photographs taken during the Neon New Territories incident.

It was something that America spent a lot of effort to steal from Japan.

Professor Harlem felt a pang of anxiety, and then began to explain.

"General Andrew, you've come at the perfect time. In fact, we've made significant progress. Believe me, this achievement is enough to change the entire world!"

General Andrew Jerson was intrigued and gestured for him to continue.

"Your Excellency should know that there are four fundamental forces in our universe: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and gravity. The reason why our world is so colorful, why our civilization is so prosperous and brilliant, why our universe is so ancient and profound... the reason why we can communicate with each other like this... the reason why all things can interact... is ultimately the result of these four fundamental forces."

But are these the only four fundamental forces in the universe? Could there be other forces that we haven't discovered yet?

Professor Harlem became engrossed in his words.

"And now... we've found it!"

The card didn't disappear; it always remained there, but it no longer contained any of the four fundamental forces.

Therefore, we cannot see it, we cannot touch it, and no instrument can detect it...

Its existence can only be indirectly confirmed by measuring the effect of its emitted radiation on isotope 232 of the element Uuo.

Originally, the isotope Uuo232 could not possibly exist. With 118 protons and 114 neutrons, there are far too few neutrons. Under the rules of the four fundamental forces of the universe, it could not even exist stably for a fraction of a second.

But the fact is, it not only exists, but it is also very stable.

Having ruled out all the impossibilities, we can only choose to believe the most likely fact: that the force that constitutes that card is a completely new force!

We call it the fifth force!

It is because the influence of the fifth force on Uuo232 is in balance with the four fundamental forces that it can exist stably.

This single discovery is enough to overturn our current scientific understanding of the world!

General, do you know what this means?!

“What does that mean?” General Andrew Jerson frowned at him.

At this moment, Professor Harlam's heart was pounding with excitement, like a pot of water about to boil.

He said with a frenzied expression, "It means... a completely new and mysterious world... coexists with our material world, which is composed of the four fundamental forces!"

"Heaven, Hell, the realm of gods, the underworld... these things that were originally denied by science may exist in this mysterious world that is entirely composed of the fifth fundamental force!"

“Professor Harlam!” General Andrew Jerson interrupted Professor Harlam, who was caught up in a frenzy.

"Don't tell me that you've used the most advanced equipment and technicians on Earth, burning through massive amounts of money every second, and after all this time of research, you've only theoretically proven that God might exist?"

If that's the case, you'd better pack your bags and leave.

"Wait, General, let me finish. I'll tell you my research findings right away."

Professor Harlem calmed his excited emotions.

He then went to the control panel under the scrutinizing gaze of General Andrew Jerson. After a series of operations, an image of the central area of ​​the card, which was separated by layers of barriers, appeared on the large display screen in the hall.

There, a group of criminals dressed in brown prison uniforms, wearing steel handcuffs and shackles, were busy working inside.

Each of them wore a metal collar tightly pressed against their skin; these were miniature bombs, powerful enough to shatter a steel plate a centimeter thick.

These prisoners are using special tools, similar to insect nets, to wave around in the air, then collecting the "air" into a special metal container next to them before taking it out.

On their round trips, they also carry truckloads of iron-gray powder, which they pile up in the very center of the truck... This cycle repeats itself, like worker ants carrying food.

However, with each cycle, a few fewer people are lost.

The researchers outside were already used to seeing the extra capture tools; after all, America had plenty of prisoners, if not a lot of other things.

"What is this?" General Andrew Jerson asked curiously.

"General, this is my achievement!" Professor Harlem said triumphantly. "That iron-gray powder is the stable state of Uuo232. I piled the Uuo232 in the position of that card and used the corrosive effect of the fifth force to create a new element!"

I call it: Xxo!

"What's the use of this?"

Harlem said meaningfully, "General Andrew, don't underestimate this new element. It is... the authority of God!"

Andrew Jerson opened his eyes wide, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

Seeing Andrew's expression, Harlam felt his vanity greatly satisfied. He excitedly said, "The Void Element exists in two states: a material state and a void state. Under the influence of the Fifth Force, Uuo232 has the property of traveling back and forth between the real material world and that world. In the process of repeatedly entering and leaving that world, it will release a kind of energy."

Get to the point!

"Yes, General, the key point is—"

Professor Harlem suddenly became short of breath.

"The nature of this energy is completely different from existing energy. All the energy we know, such as electricity, hydropower, solar energy, geothermal energy, fossil fuels... are essentially the result of entropy increase!"

But now, did you know that this energy is quite the opposite? It doesn't increase entropy; instead, it decreases it!

This completely overturns the second law of thermodynamics!

Haaland was so excited for a reason: basic science had stagnated for two hundred years.

Even the theoretical basis of 5G and 6G communication, which countries are now vying to develop, is based on the electromagnetic equations proposed by McVeigh in 1865. Human basic science has basically been stuck in a state of no breakthrough for decades.

And now, has this broken the deadlock—no, has his era of etched fame in history arrived?!

When he realized this, it all felt a little unreal.

"You still haven't told me what it's for?" Andrew Jerson said impatiently, wanting to slap the old man.

Professor Harlem said meaningfully, "General, don't you understand? It's a kind of omnipotent energy!"

It can be directly converted into electrical energy, heat energy, and light energy; it can directly overcome gravity to do work; it can extend lifespan; it can reverse aging… and even, theoretically, it can reverse time!

"What--!!"

Andrew Jerson cried out in astonishment.

This was the first time he had lost his composure like this since he became General America ten years ago!

Chapter 445 The Crisis of the World

General Andrew Jerson was extremely shocked and wanted to ask more questions.

At that moment, a commotion arose outside the hall.

A young researcher in a white lab coat forced his way in.

He had soft, wavy, light yellow hair, gray-brown pupils, low cheekbones, a relatively flat jaw, a narrow and high nose, and thin, moderate lips. At first glance, he was a handsome man full of vigor and spirit.

He was wearing a professor's badge around his neck, so the soldiers guarding outside didn't dare to really stop him. As soon as he entered, everyone in the hall focused their attention on him.

Especially some of the female researchers in the hall, their eyes were full of spring and their faces were like peach blossoms.

“Professor Bradrick, can’t you see I’m discussing important matters with General Andrew? Please leave now!” Professor Harlem glared at the young man at the door.

Bradrick is a newcomer to the research institute, but in terms of expertise, he can be described as a genius among geniuses.

Harlem always felt that Bradrick looked down on him.

In fact, Bradrick really hated Harlam; in fact, everyone in the institute hated him. He was notoriously mediocre and petty.

He wasn't entirely mediocre; he possessed exceptional writing skills and was well-versed in the intricacies of submitting papers to major academic journals. Coupled with his advanced age, this is why he became an internationally renowned expert in radiochemistry.

The research results he is presenting now are almost all the result of the hard work of his researchers, among whom Bradrick, who is right in front of him, has put in a lot of effort.

Upon seeing Bradrick, Professor Harlem became tense.

He maliciously assumed that Bradrick had come to steal the credit from him.

But in reality, Bradrick had no such thoughts at all; he had more important things to do.

He ignored Professor Harlem's words and went straight to General Andrew Jerson, earnestly requesting:

"General, please immediately cease research into the Fifth Force and stop the artificial creation of Void Element. No, simply stopping it is not enough; we should find a way to destroy it. Even if we cannot destroy it, we should find a way to launch it into space, so that it is permanently far away from Earth and the solar system!"
