Great, we're doomed now!

The beam of light landed precisely in the "crater," hitting the massive red rock directly in the center.

Clang!

The deep red crystal seemed to come alive the moment it came into contact with the beam of light, a faint golden glow appearing on its surface, like the sun rising through the morning mist.

Energy flows within the crystal, forming golden ripples that spread outward from the center and flow back to the core from the edges, endlessly cycling.

Under the influence of an unknown force field, the entire red stone slowly rose up, leaving the support of the base and hovering in mid-air.

It rotates slowly, each rotation refracting different colors of light: deep red, dark red, gold, orange... all kinds of colors intertwine together, dazzling and beautiful.

Everyone in the workshop looked up at this scene, holding their breath. Dr. Agasa was so excited that he trembled all over and his eyes were a little wet.

"It's done..." he murmured to himself, "It's really done... Now humanity can directly use the endless cosmic energy!"

On the other side, Ye Shou looked at the suspended Aizhe Red Stone, a meaningful glint in his eyes.

Chapter 460: Three minutes is still too short~ (Two chapters combined, 8.5K)

Ye Shou stood in the corridor, looking calmly at the floating red stone, his mind seemingly lost in thought, and he did not show the same joyful expression as the others.

Liuli breathed a soft sigh of relief: "So beautiful... This is 'future energy,' pure light energy, but it's completely different from the solar energy I'm used to."

"You mean those solar panels that generate electricity using sunlight, right?"

Dr. Yao came over and enthusiastically explained to the three of them: "That is a transitional technology that had to be used due to limitations in basic technology. It has very poor efficiency in utilizing light and needs to be converted into electrical energy for storage. The more intermediate steps there are, the greater the loss will be."

But 'Redstone' is a very special crystal. Light loses very little when it passes through it, and depending on its use, it can also store and release light... It's like mithril and Orichalco in fantasy novels, a miraculous creation that can bring about an energy revolution!

Although I've said it many times, I still want to thank Captain Kuze... Many TPC projects are developed based on Redstone technology.

Materials science is the cornerstone of modern science and technology. It may seem insignificant, but it determines the limits of human potential. Currently, the progress of theoretical physics has far exceeded that of practical applications. The reason why we cannot keep up in development is largely due to the limitations of materials.

But materials science, like mathematics, is not something that can be mastered through hard work and effort alone. If you can't figure it out, you really can't. Luck often determines everything.

The same principle applies to the Magus Power of the Eight-Tailed Demon. Without Ye Shou's funding and cutting-edge technology, it would have been impossible for it to be put into use so quickly. Moreover, Ye Shou was not just a simple investor to him.

That's not just a matter of finding a talent scout and a fine horse; it's more like the legendary friendship between Bo Ya and Zi Qi!

"Hehe... Um, who is this lady?"

"Oh, I haven't had a chance to introduce you yet. This is a high-level talent we just brought in from outside, who will be in charge of security work."

Ye Shou stretched out his hand: "Miss Carmilla."

"Hello, madam." Ya-Tails extended his hand warmly, but Carmilla ignored him. A moment later, the Doctor awkwardly withdrew his hand.

"It seems that Ms. Carmilla is a little shy. Then I won't bother you any longer. Ye Shou, why don't you accompany these two lovely ladies on a tour?"

"Sorry, she's new to Earth and hasn't adapted yet."

Upon hearing this, Yawei immediately understood:

It seems that, like Lucy and the others from the Space Development Agency, they are also aliens who came to Earth to escape.

Well, since that's the case, there's nothing we can do. This young lady may look just like an Earthling, but she probably can't even speak human language.

Carmilla remained silent until the Eight-Tails left, staring intently at the crystal for a long time before shifting her gaze and giving Ye Shou a rather complicated look.

"I never knew... that humans could reach the 'light' through their own efforts. Perhaps my thinking has always been wrong."

While the ancient civilization in Triga is equally powerful, it differs slightly from that of the main world, primarily in the identification of the "giants."

In the main world, or rather, in the background of "Ultraman Tiga", the Giant of Light originally stood on the side of humanity, and even the Dark Giant split off from it.

They interact with humans very frequently, and humans are creatures full of curiosity. When they see Ultraman everywhere in their lives, they will naturally become curious about the power of "light" and then study it.

The ancient times could even create something like a "basic version of the Plasma Spark Tower," but they weren't as lucky as the Land of Light, which triggered the evolution of their entire race. Instead, they were met with Gatanothor...

But the situation is exactly the opposite in Trigard!

Instead of light, Earth was confronted by a dark giant. Without a point of reference, humanity's research into light energy was naturally less successful, resulting in a completely different technological path.

In Carmilla's view, Earthlings' technology has only just reached the threshold of interstellar civilization, and is actually nothing in the grand scheme of the universe.

As a result, she was transported to the main world, where she was immediately shown Magus Power, Redstone Technology, and the prototype of the Prism Tower... These things did not pose a threat to her yet, but they had begun to touch upon the fundamental laws of the universe, and once they were truly mastered, they would unleash extremely powerful forces.

Carmilla was quite insightful; she could tell at a glance that although humanity's light energy technology was still relatively basic, it was undoubtedly on the right track.

If this continues, who knows, one day they might come up with technology that rivals Ultraman's... That's outrageous!

For Carmilla, it was like going on a rural tourism trip and the villagers sharing nuclear fusion technology with her—it all seemed incredibly strange!

"If this parallel world is not some kind of paradise, but still follows the basic laws of cosmic civilization, then humanity already possessed 'original sin' when it created these things."

Although Carmilla had never heard of the story of "a child carrying gold through a bustling market," she had witnessed too many rises and falls of civilizations.

Ye Shou became interested: "What do you mean?"

Ruri, who was standing to the side, listened attentively, while Carmilla shook her head slightly upon seeing this.

"The universe is not a gentle place. It is common for powerful races to invade weak planets. If a planet is rich in resources or has special value, it is more likely to be targeted by evil eyes."

—This is true of the [Eternal Core].

Carmilla spoke calmly, seemingly forgetting that she herself was one of the "evil" forces coveting the [Eternal Core]... Of course, now that she's officially recognized as a guardian of Earth, she naturally has to sever ties with the evil forces of the universe!

"Your Earth possesses such technology with immense potential; given enough time, it will develop into a dominant power, and this is destined to be targeted."

Upon hearing this, Liuli looked at Ye Shou, who understood:

"For example, if you heard that some indigenous tribe in Africa had developed nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductivity technology, how would you feel?"

"..."

"You couldn't help but feel murderous intent, could you?"

"I'm truly ashamed..."

Liuli frowned slightly: "If every major technological advancement attracts enemies, like the incident on Mechanical Island, then could this be the same?"

"Mechanical Island?"

Carmilla had read Bayeri's battle records and naturally knew what it was about; she immediately scoffed.

"That kind of surveillance device is quite classic. A race that develops ahead of others adds a cruel 'filter' to prevent being overtaken, eliminating all threatening civilizations!"

Bayeri... Ultraman's existence is humanity's good fortune. If this planet hadn't been protected by the Giant of Light, it would have entered its countdown to destruction the moment Megas Power was successfully developed.

It's just that the mechanical island was quickly destroyed, which intimidated the race behind it, so it became obedient and quiet.

As for this time, if it gets exposed, it wouldn't be surprising if it attracts the enemy.

After speaking, she paused, then turned to Ye Shou and asked, "Do you plan to put this technology into use immediately?"

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid of any more of these cowardly cowards who hide their true colors."

Carmilla pouted: "It's just annoying. Knowing that vicious dogs will come and run wild in your yard, and you can only wait... This feeling is really depressing."

"Now you understand the pain of a villain being redeemed, right? This is what happens when you go from being a destroyer to a protector."

Ye Shou chuckled softly, while Calumila frowned, clearly displeased with Ye Shou's teasing tone.

hum~~~

The beam of light continued to pour in, and the redstone continued to absorb energy. Its size and shape remained unchanged, but the internal patterns became denser and the light became brighter.

Masaki Keigo stepped down from the control panel, came to Ye Shou's side, glanced at Carmilla one more time, and then said:

"The energy absorption efficiency is 97.3%, which exceeds expectations. According to Dr. Yao's calculations, if this state can be maintained, the recharging will be completed in another 72 hours."

"Seventy-two hours..." Ye Shou nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

“It’s not about how hard it is.” Masaki Keigo looked at the red stone with a kind of fanaticism in his eyes. “I just want to know how much power this thing can unleash.”

Ye Shou patted him on the shoulder without saying anything more.

The J project was initially established to develop laser weapons, then it utilized the special properties of redstone to collect cosmic energy, and now it has created a giant base that can store light energy.

In the eyes of Ya-Ooki and Professor Agasa, this is a super battery that can store and transfer energy with almost no loss, bringing a new energy revolution to human civilization.

For warriors of light like Ye Shou and Zheng Mu, this is practically a "big blue potion," the kind that gives you full mana in one gulp!

To be honest, Masaki has always been quite bothered by the fact that he only lasts three minutes.

Although he was invincible for three minutes and could overturn monsters tens of meters tall, he would become weak and powerless after a while, and would be out of breath after firing only one or two beams of light in each battle.

Ugh!

He also wanted to be like Ye Shou, able to maintain an unyielding erection no matter how many times he shot, and even be able to ignore the three-minute limit!

Men are meant to fight!

However, this kind of thing depends on talent. Lucifer only has three minutes, and there's nothing that can be done about it. No matter how much Masaki trains, he can't improve it.

Since that's the case, we can only turn to external forces. Now that we have this kind of high-purity light energy that can be used directly, Zheng Mu is confident that he can extend the battle time to four minutes or even four-tenths of a second!

Don't think it's a small amount of time; the extra time is enough for him to kill several Natan Emperors.

“You don’t seem very happy… I should say, as expected of Bayeri, you don’t need the little blue bottle at all.”

Masaki probably misunderstood. Seeing Ye Shou's nonchalant attitude, he immediately started teasing him.

"But for me, Daigo, and Shinjo, this is more effective than any divine weapon."

"Of course I'm very happy too."

Ye Shou explained with a smile, "I was just wondering when the enemy would appear to steal it... Waiting is always frustrating."

"Are you so sure? While I agree with this lady's theory, I think the aliens should learn their lesson... The civilization behind the machine island, hasn't it, never appeared?"

Masaki gave a thumbs up: "Earth is protected by the invincible GUTS team and Ultraman. No matter how many pests come, we will wipe them out!"

"hope so."

Ye Shou smiled first, then seemed to be thinking: "Aliens are one thing, but some beings don't consider these things..."

The far side of the moon, the Copernicus crater.

This ancient impact crater, with a diameter of 93 kilometers, was selected by TPC six months ago to become the core site of the Space Development Agency. In the past six months, it has been transformed into a research base with airport functions using its incredible infrastructure capabilities.

From Earth's perspective, this place is forever hidden on the far side of the moon, but from outside the Earth-Moon system, it is the front line facing the universe!

In fact, in addition to the surface base, the interior of the crater has also been transformed into a three-dimensional defensive fortification, with layers of alloy structures embedded deep within the lunar crust, where hundreds of workers move back and forth.
