From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

Lu Heng still remembers the flood of superpower potions in his previous life.

That happened a year after the Abyss came. At that time, superpower potions were already flooding, and the price was not high.

During the period when superpower potions were flooding the most, the price of superpower potions was even much lower than that of ordinary crystal cores.

If the purity of the potion is not high and a higher impurity content can be accepted, the price can even drop to 100,000 per bottle.

This price is not high for superpowers, after all, superpowers have extraordinary powers and many ways to get rewards.

As long as you are a superpower, you have enough money to buy superpower potions.

In addition, the effect of superpower potions comes very quickly. In just a few hours, the combat power can soar, and the source energy level can be increased in a few days.

The lower the original source energy level, the higher the increase.

With such an immediate effect, which superpower would not be tempted as long as he has seen other people inject it?

Therefore, the flood of superpower potions in Daxia in the previous life was very serious.

Almost every psychic has one.

Then came the side effects of the superpower potion, which began to gradually appear within a month.

First, it was addictive.

As long as it was injected once, no psychic could refuse the pleasure given by the superpower potion.

Moreover, it was hard to resist the temptation of greatly improving combat power.

In fact.

Before the side effects appeared, human psychics had a period of pushing back the fog because of the surge in combat power.

Due to the effect of the superpower potion, the overall combat power of the psychic group was improved.

More psychics began to break into the fog to hunt abyss creatures and close the rift.

There was a period of pushing back the fog forbidden area.

During that time, there were even psychics shouting slogans to make the fog disappear completely from the continent.

The powerful force gave these psychics strong confidence.

However, the good times did not last long.

As the side effects of super-power potion injection gradually emerged, these super-powered people who had been injected with super-power potion gradually found that they had become dependent on super-power potion.

And this dependence is generated from both psychological and physiological aspects.

If you can't get super-power potion injection for a long time, you will have a strong withdrawal reaction.

Some super-powered people even started to do whatever it takes to get super-power potion.

Therefore, after a short period of counterattack fog, the darkest period came.

In order to compete for a super-power potion, super-powered people began to fight and kill each other.

Even many once powerful super-powered people fell in this dark period.

At that time.

Lu Heng happened to awaken when super-powered potion just began to flood, and the side effects of super-powered potion had not yet fully appeared.

When he just awakened, the source energy level was too low.

Lu Heng even thought about buying a super-powered potion for injection to quickly increase the level.

At that time, the price of super-powered potion had dropped to 100,000 per bottle, and his family could barely buy one with gritted teeth.

Fortunately, Lu Heng was more cautious. He had seen the arrogance of the superpowered person after injecting the superpowered potion, and he always felt that this superpowered potion was a little abnormal.

As expected, half a month later, the side effects of the superpowered potion began to appear.

There were many conflicts between superpowered people, all for the sake of fighting for the superpowered potion.

Lu Heng even saw with his own eyes a superpowered person rolling on the ground in pain because of superpowered potion dependence.

Lu Heng will never forget that scene.

In order to relieve the physical and psychological pain, the superpowered person scratched his skin with his nails, letting blood flow out, as if this kind of physical pain could alleviate the psychological pain.

Lu Heng saw with his own eyes that the superpowered person scratched all the skin on his body, scratching it bloody, and then grabbed Lu Heng's feet and asked Lu Heng to give him a quick death.

That scene was so shocking that he had a nightmare because of it.

...

Because of the memory of the previous life.

So Lu Heng's understanding of superpowered potions is far more than that.

Lu Heng even knew how this super-powered potion was produced.

From a technical perspective, the technology for producing super-powered potions is very simple.

This is also the reason why super-powered potions can be rampant.

If the production technology requirements are high, the output will definitely not keep up, and it will naturally not be rampant.

The production method of super-powered potions is actually to use animals as carriers and feed them substances containing demonic energy, energy crystal cores, demonic flesh and blood, and even abyssal ores.

As long as it is a substance that can provide energy, it is all fed to animals.

After eating these energy-containing substances, animals will mutate and then produce source energy in their bodies.

After that, the source energy is extracted from these animals to prepare super-powered potions.

The production process of super-powered potions is so simple, with a certain technical content, but not high.

With the current level of human technology, it is easy to produce.

The super-powered potions produced are of grade.

The quality of super-powered potions is related to the energy substances eaten by the animal carriers.

If it is fed with energy crystal cores, the super-powered potions produced are of the first tier.

If you feed it with demon flesh, the super potion produced is the second tier.

If you feed it with garbage materials such as abyssal slag, the super potion produced is the lowest tier.

Relatively speaking, the higher the quality of the super potion, the lighter the side effects.

And the most common super potion is actually the lowest tier.

After all, the price is there. A super potion that costs 100,000 yuan per bottle is naturally the worst kind.

In fact, Lu Heng also knows another higher-level super potion, which is the super potion extracted from the blood of superpowers.

And the super potion used by Alex Austin is actually this kind.

Because this super potion is extracted from the body of a superpower, the side effects are lighter and the compatibility with the human body is higher.

However, as long as the source energy is obtained from outside the body, it will eventually lead to addiction and irreversibly inhibit the synthesis of source energy in the human body.

…

In his previous life, Lu Heng had studied the principle of human source energy in depth, so he had a deep understanding of why super potions can make people addicted.

Source energy is an energy substance produced by the human body, which only appeared after the abyss came.

In terms of the principle and method of production, source energy is very similar to another substance in the human body, that is, endorphin.

Endorphin is a morphine-like biochemical synthetic hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

Endorphins bind to morphine receptors and can produce the same analgesic effect and pleasure as taking banned drugs.

As long as endorphins are injected, humans can easily get pleasure.

If it is so easy to get happiness, why do humans prohibit the abuse of this drug?

Because the injection of endorphin-like substances will lead to a decrease in the endorphins secreted by humans themselves.

This means that after injecting endorphin-like substances, if you do not continue to inject, people will not feel happy because of the decrease in endorphin secretion in the body.

In order to get pleasure, you need to continue to inject endorphin-like substances. The more you inject, the less endorphins the body secretes.

Under the vicious cycle, humans eventually become dependent on endorphin-like substances. As long as they do not inject, they will always be in pain.

…

It is amazing that source energy has similar properties.

When injured, guiding source energy to gather at the wound site can produce analgesic effects similar to endorphins.

Source energy is synthesized in the energy factory of human cells.

The energy factory in this cell is the mitochondria.

Mitochondria exist in the cells of not only humans but also most animals on the Blue Planet.

After humans awaken and become superpowers, they will synthesize energy in the mitochondria by absorbing energy, exercising, eating, etc.

In other words, only the energy transferred through the mitochondria belongs to the human body.

Mitochondria have a set of mechanisms that meet the needs of the human body to convert energy.

For superpowers with low energy levels, the speed and total amount of mitochondrial energy conversion are naturally lower.

As the energy level increases, the efficiency of mitochondrial energy conversion will continue to increase.

In other words, the amount of energy converted by mitochondria is controlled by a set of human mechanisms.

Once this set of energy conversion mechanism is changed, a chain reaction will occur.

What effect will the injection of super energy potion have?

After the energy in the super energy potion enters the human body, the human body's mechanism will sense that the energy content in the body is very high.

When the energy content in the blood is high, the human body mechanism will feel that it is no longer necessary to convert energy, and the mitochondria will stop working.

Over time, the efficiency of mitochondrial energy conversion becomes worse and worse.

This means that if a superpower who has been injected with superpower potions does not continue to inject, the source energy content in the body will continue to decrease, and the combat power will also drop significantly.

Coupled with the addictiveness of superpower potions, superpower potions naturally make superpower potions dependent on them.

In the end, superpower potions will fight each other to compete for superpower potions.

…

This principle of human body synthesis of source energy does not need Lu Heng to explain to the scientific research masters of the Academy of Sciences.

Because since the emergence of superpower potions, scientists have never stopped studying superpower potions and source energy.

This principle of source energy synthesis is not a difficult research topic for scientists in the Academy of Sciences.

It is now the end of September when the abyss has descended, and the source energy synthesis theory has long been studied.

Now, Lu Heng has reported the information about the addictiveness of superpower potions.

Combining this information, it is not difficult to analyze the truth of superpower potions.

What happens next is not something Lu Heng can control.

To stop the proliferation of superpower potions, national power is needed.

The power of one person cannot stop it.

Lu Heng has done what he should do, and the next step is to see how this change will happen.

…

After the 10th month of entering the abyss, Lu Heng received a message.

A consortium began to invest in and build factories in Daxia, preparing to mass-produce super-powered potions.

The reason why Lu Heng was able to receive this news was because Lin Zeyu received a cooperation invitation from a multinational consortium.

After all, Daxia is the largest industrial country in Blue Star. If you want to mass-produce a certain product, investing in and building a factory in Daxia is a common strategy.

Since the super-powered potion has spread in the upper circles, this kind of super-powered potion is currently tens of millions per unit, which is more expensive than gold.

Therefore, many domestic companies have accepted investments from multinational consortiums and started to spend money to build factories to prepare for the production of super-powered potions.

However, these cross-border cooperations have just begun, and the Daxia official suddenly issued a red-headed document, ordering domestic companies to prohibit the production and sale of super-powered potions in any form.

The official also officially listed super-powered potions as banned drugs.

After seeing this news, Lu Heng felt a little emotional. The bill to ban super-powered potions was nearly two months earlier than in his previous life.

This may prevent the dark period from happening.

However, after the super-power potion was listed as a banned drug, some upper-class groups were very worried because many people who controlled the capital of the old era had already injected this potion.
