Chapter 49: Life Force Field, C-Rank Physique
After careful deliberation, Meng Yi fixed the quantity of his modified "Cell-Level Bai Xue Computer" within the range of 100 trillion, matching the scale of a standard Terran body.
This move is, firstly, within the production consumption range of his reserve energy; secondly, it can be perfectly utilized by his C+ Rank mental strength; and thirdly, it ensures no mutations occur in his appearance or physique.
Anyone who has worked in scientific research knows that as long as there is one successful case, subsequent replication and reproduction work can save a lot of unnecessary trial-and-error time.
A while ago, when developing the carrier for Red Queen, it took Meng Yi a week to complete one figurine-type biological psionic computer. The speed of repetitive modification would only be faster, not slower.
Hand-crafting the "Bai Xue equipment" consumed one week.
For the remaining time, Meng Yi estimated he could complete 5% of the massive project that is the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0."
That is to say, modifying five trillion cell-level biological psionic computers.
"Action is better than thought; just get it done!"
……
One month of rest time passed second by second, and the progress of the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" slowly increased.
When the first "cell-level biological psionic computer" was completed, Meng Yi's computing power increased slightly.
Ten—hundred—thousand—ten thousand!
One million—ten million—one hundred million—one trillion!
The progress of "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" reached 1%.
Meng Yi felt a vague perception, as if something was about to connect into a "web."
Yet it was as unclear as looking at flowers through mist; the path ahead was shrouded in thick fog.
【Prompt: Player 'Bai Mo' body strength promoted from D++ Rank to C- Rank!】
He ignored the Paradise's strengthening prompt.
Body strength was merely a derivative of his technical realization; Meng Yi valued more the computing power and efficiency brought by the one trillion biological psionic computers.
This feeling was too wonderful. When one trillion micro-computers were superimposed onto a human body, and the possibilities of every thought were identified and clarified, how was such a monster different from a god among men?!
Merely 1% progress of the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" had already increased Meng Yi's original thinking speed and calculation deduction speed by more than several thousand times.
One must know that before the modification, Meng Yi was already a psionic user with "C+ Rank Psionics" and "C+ Rank Mental Strength."
The body-tempering realm of "Seeing God without Damage, Godly Clarity" was somewhat similar to Meng Yi's current state, but the essence was completely different.
There was no need for mysterious insights or meditation.
Technology is the primary productive force; isn't it enough to find another path to master and surpass it?
1.1%—1.2%—1.5%!
2.0%—2.5%—3.0%!
3.5%—4.0%—5.0%!
Taking a total of 29 days, 17 hours, 36 minutes, and 01 seconds, the progress of "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" reached the 5% Meng Yi had planned, and the ultra-concentrated biomass he had stored during his stay in the Paradise was also exhausted.
【Prompt: Player 'Bai Mo' body strength promoted from C- Rank to C Rank!】
"I know what it is!"
Meng Yi, who had restored his human form, saw countless streams of information flash through his black-and-white eyes.
He clenched his fist, and the matrix network composed of five trillion "cell-level biological psionic computers" covering his body resonated with his "C+ Rank Psionics," constructing a faint, hazy layer of white light.
Cell consciousness and psionics combined perfectly, and under the mobilization of the supercomputing matrix, they formed a "Life Force Field" that should not have been accessible at the C Rank stage.
Meng Yi whispered: "Fix!"
The residual biomass energy in his body was rapidly consumed, and the "Life Force Field" instantly constructed itself into a thin, crystal-wall-like structure.
Through high-efficiency calculations, in less than a microsecond, Meng Yi reached a conclusion.
Driving the "Life Force Field" at full power, the residual biomass energy and mental power in his body could maintain it for 0.157842 seconds.
At this stage, he was sufficient to withstand the destructive power of a planetary explosion and remain completely unharmed.
"Lower! Low-energy mode!"
The iridescent crystal wall layer dissipated, regressing into the original hazy white light.
At 1% power, the "Life Force Field" strength: withstands strategic nuclear strikes (Tsar Bomba).
As long as he avoided the ultra-high temperature strike of the narrow core area, the secondary derivative high-temperature shockwave brought by a nuclear bomb was like a breeze on his face, no longer able to hurt Meng Yi, who had activated the "Low-energy mode Life Force Field."
"Can the low-energy mode last for 1.6 seconds? That's acceptable."
"Disperse!"
With one thought, the hazy white light of the "Life Force Field" dispersed. Experimenting with the "Life Force Field" had exhausted Meng Yi's residual biomass energy, and each "cell-level biological psionic computer" entered a dormant stage.
The state of high-speed thinking dissipated. Meng Yi, his face deathly pale, stumbled to the food warehouse, struggling to condense a black-red tentacle to pierce through tubes of nutrient paste, absorbing energy to replenish his own biomass energy loss.
A moment later, Meng Yi caught his breath. He did not activate the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" again, and the derived "Life Force Field" was temporarily shelved.
Relying solely on biomass energy to convert energy was too inefficient; he could not afford the two brand-new abilities he had developed.
"Essence, Qi, and Spirit... the three basic attributes of the Paradise are all crucial and indispensable!"
"Lacking 'Qi' and missing the 'energy lever,' even with powerful means, they cannot be used."
Meng Yi frowned. If he were to take the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" from 5% to 100% (one hundred trillion cells), his limit computing power would increase significantly, and the strength of the "Life Force Field" would climb accordingly.
His current biomass energy storage limit could support the "100% power Life Force Field" for approximately 3.146687 seconds.
Or the "1% power Life Force Field" for five minutes.
Once the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" modification was completed, the energy storage limit was expected to support 1 minute of "100% power Life Force Field," or nearly two hours of "1% power Life Force Field."
He thought slightly about the scene of activating "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0 at 100% progress" and "100% power Life Force Field."
Meng Yi, having replenished his biomass energy reserves beforehand, could stand still and take a full minute of punches from Acheron's Star-Shattering Face-Smashing Fist.
If Acheron could not extend the output of a star-shattering blow to one minute.
She would inevitably be unable to outlast Meng Yi, who had completed the "100% progress Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" modification.
"A one-minute true man? That's not possible!"
"Completing the short board of 'Qi' and creating 'Energy Lever v1.0' is imminent!"
What energy source is closest to living beings, cells, and life?
"Biochemical Psionics" had already given the answer; its true form is—bio-electricity!
"How can I more efficiently utilize the bio-electricity generated by cell movement, avoid the massive loss within it, and perform the conversion formula of electromagnetic force to energy?"
A clever woman cannot cook without rice; Meng Yi had not yet come into contact with extraordinary fields related to 'lightning.'
"Can I only pin my hopes on the next dungeon?"
"Or complete the 'Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0' to increase body strength, carry the C+ Rank 'Psionics' that has reached a bottleneck to break through to B Rank, and independently develop 'Biochemical Electromagnetic Force Manipulation'."
Both paths were selectable, and the prospects were very clear.
The former is gambling on luck; the latter is a slow grind that consumes resources.
Meng Yi calculated that if he wanted to bring the "Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0" to 100% completion, he would need to spend 20,000 Paradise Coins to purchase high-concentration nutrients, and his body strength would increase from C Rank to C+ or even C++ Rank.
C++ Rank physique is sufficient to carry B Rank Psionics, and mental strength would also increase to the B Rank area. The comprehensive evaluation would completely surpass the C Rank breakthrough category of C++ and reach the B Rank domain of Fifth Rank players!
"Not expensive, but not worth it. Better to go into the dungeon and grab resources."
With his thoughts settled, Meng Yi opened his personal information panel to see his brand-new evaluation.
Body Strength D++ → C 【Bai Xue Combat Body v1.0 · 5% progress】
Comprehensive Evaluation C → C+
"Barely acceptable. In the next dungeon, my comprehensive evaluation should be able to increase to C++ or even B-." ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
