Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 33 Positive and Negative Sources
"Astra, didn't you explain the source crystal in detail last time? It seems that the mutation has types and directions." Yuan Ze closed the door of the training room and said curiously
"You didn't ask." Astra seemed a little arrogant.

"Then please go ahead."

"That's about right. The source crystal will also be affected by the environment and species, and will produce some special mutations. Depending on the degree of the mutation, the level can rise by one or two levels."

"Take your piece as an example. The mutation degree is about 50%, and the mutation coefficient is 0.5, which is equivalent to floating up one level. That is, the price of the mutation is equal to twenty times the original price multiplied by the mutation coefficient."

"The types and directions of mutations have the same meaning. There are these directions of mutations. Take a look for yourself."

"

Mutation direction
Soft type:
The use of this type of source power is almost the same as ordinary source power, but it is easier to absorb and tends to have a smooth and gradual flow of energy, which can promote the growth and repair of organisms.

Strong type:
This type of source force has powerful impact and destructive power, and can quickly release high-density energy to cause severe damage to the enemy.

Tough type:
This type of source power emphasizes stability and defense, and can enhance the host's physique and endurance and reduce damage received.

The usage of these mutated sources of power is not much different from that of ordinary sources of power, but there are some characteristics that distinguish them.

"

"So this soft and mutated source crystal is more suitable for replenishing your missing source power. It can at least support your source power training for twenty days."

Yuanze nodded, crossed out the crystal in the card, and set a twenty-day training schedule.

In an instant, the Source Force filled the entire room, far exceeding the concentration in the air. In an environment of this concentration, Source Warriors could even go without food or drink and rely on the Source Force to nourish themselves.

During these ten days, Yuanze was almost completely immersed in the "flow" state. His breathing and boxing techniques had reached the bottleneck of the third stage. His mental and physical strength were constantly replenished by high-concentration source power.

Yuanze's training was too crazy, and Astra even forced him to rest for a period of time every day before he could continue training.

Yuanze's body was like a bottomless pit, madly absorbing source power, and he even reached the point where his source power supply was cut off.

The source crystal of the phantom cow has been consumed by more than half.

At this moment, something strange happened.

Yuanze's body gradually became red, swollen and swollen. Yuanze also entered an extremely uncomfortable state and then fell into a coma.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Astra immediately cut off the source power supply, took over the body directly, and discharged the source power just absorbed.

It was not until half a day later that Yuanze gradually regained consciousness and asked Astra: "What happened?"

"You were in danger just now. Seeing that you were unconscious, I forcibly took over control of your body."

"Later, I re-examined your body's data based on the data I just collected, and found that the source of energy in your body is indeed different from what Dr. Li said. "

"What's the difference?"

"It's just a very subtle difference. According to the data, only the spin deflection of the source force is opposite to that of others. The soft source force has no deflection at all."

"So the source power in the gentle mutation source crystal can be naturally transformed into the source power in your body, but the ordinary source power that is opposite to yours cannot be transformed."

"You may only know that source force is the power of the body's origin. But in fact, in cutting-edge physics, scientists have deduced that the essence of source force is a kind of dark matter."

"You should have heard of antimatter. Although there is no 'anti-dark matter', your source of power is very similar to the existence of 'anti-dark matter'."

"Then your source power can be understood as negative source power, and ordinary people's is positive source power."

Yuanze tilted his head and thought for a long time, then took out the source crystal that had shrunk by half, sat on the ground, and looked at it carefully.

"So this piece is of no use to me? Other sources of energy will be rejected by my body, which is the reason why my source energy has not been able to improve for many years?"

"This is what I have roughly analyzed so far. But I still don't understand why, under the premise that you cannot absorb ordinary external energy, your practice of the Li family secret method will naturally increase the energy in your body."

"Does that mean we can only rely on this mutated source crystal? If we only rely on practicing the Li family's secret method, isn't that too slow?"

"Yeah, it's not the only way." Astra hesitated, "It's just a little difficult."

"How to do it?"

"These past few days, I have analyzed the ability of this giant tree source beast to transform source power, and also hacked into the training room system. I found that as the level increases, the ability to transform source power becomes stronger. As long as you cooperate with me to modify some of the transformation algorithms, you can mass-produce soft source power."

"That's great, do we have to go to the ninth floor?"

"It's about this difficult. According to my calculations, 50% conversion can be achieved at the eighth level, but it can be directly increased to 80% at the ninth level, and at least 95% at the top level."

"Aren't there nine floors in total? Where does the top floor come from?" "The data I hacked into showed that there was a tenth floor."

Yuanze no longer worried about the number of levels, and was quickly thinking about the next strategy in his mind, because he just learned that only by completing the tasks of the training camp and accumulating a certain number of contribution points can he upgrade his permissions.

But it's embarrassing, Yuanze's current card has 0 contribution points.

"What is the current source power value?"

"

The following data are based on the average data of each level and are for reference only.

normal status

Level: Eighth-level awakening source warrior

Source power: fourth level awakening
Physical Speed: Fourth Level Awakening

Mental Speed: Ninth Level Awakening

Physical Power: Fourth Level Awakening

Spiritual Power: Ninth Level Awakening

Fully automatic state (gene chip overclocking, battle suit on)
Physical speed: fifth level

Mental Speed: Level 9

Physical Strength: Level 5

Spiritual power: ninth level

"

"Look, once your source power value increases, you will be able to break through to the official level."

"That's good. I've finally caught up with the bottom level of the freshmen in the training camp." Yuanze stretched and prepared to go out.

"But the accumulation of source power will slow down for a long time."

"There's nothing we can do. We might as well go to the weapons manufacturing bureau first and find a suitable weapon template. Then take on some missions and find some materials. We can also try our luck and see if we can get the soft source crystal." Yuanze said to Astra.

"Tsk, stop daydreaming."

"What if it comes true? Isn't this a real-life RPG adventure game? It's pretty fun."

This is also inspired by Rick's idea. There is no need to worry about the problem itself. As long as you keep moving forward, there will always be a way out.

"Hahaha, you're quite open-minded." Astra also let out a soft laugh in Yuanze's mind.

"That's not it."

Yuanze opened the door of the training room and found a group of people gathered outside, staring at him as if he were a monster.

"Everyone, what's wrong?" Yuanze felt a little embarrassed when being stared at.

"Yuanze, do you know how long you have been in there?" several students in the front row asked Yuanze.

"It's only ten days. Did it delay your training? I'm sorry, everyone. I have something to do now. Please continue."

Yuanze scratched his head feeling a little embarrassed, and trotted out of the training room.

But this sentence caused a huge uproar in the crowd, and the onlookers were talking about it.

"This has broken the record for the first time a newcomer has entered the Source Power Training Room!" One of them said in a particularly serious tone.

"The previous record should be 27 hours!" another person added emphatically.

"Don't forget, he said he only stopped because he had something to do. This is not his limit."

Perhaps, even Yuanze himself did not know that the source power that his long-term trained body could contain had long been a bottomless abyss, and he could fill it up as much as he had now.
