372: God's Body

After an unknown amount of time, the gravity weng that enveloped Tian Ming slowly shrank, receded, and finally transformed into a small piece, floating in Tian Ming's palm.

Throughout the entire process, Tian Ming did not feel any discomfort; in fact, during the assimilation process, he could clearly feel his own metamorphosis, a transformation that allowed for the arbitrary conversion of energy and matter. This gravity weng was like a key that unlocked a divine body, causing earth-shattering changes in Tian Ming's body.

It was as if the previous limitations of his ability had been lifted. He slightly closed his eyes and found that his control range had directly increased by more than ten times. Tian Ming could arbitrarily use matter within a radius of more than ten kilometers, and he could even collect all the energy within this range.

This meant he could achieve 100% conversion and utilization of energy efficiency. According to the mass-energy equation, one gram of matter could be converted into 90 terajoules of energy. This might not mean much to some, but the energy Tian Ming converted from one gram of matter was equivalent to 1.5 of the small mushrooms from Sakura's home.

If this energy were used to boil water, the energy from one gram of matter could raise 150,000 tons of water from 0 degrees to 100 degrees. One hundred grams could directly evaporate the entire West Lake.

Tian Ming looked at the gravity weng in his hand; this thing had allowed him to undergo a metamorphosis. Although he was previously said to be immortal, he could still be harmed. Now it was different; his body could actively, or even passively, absorb various forms of energy. How terrifying was this ability? Besides being immortal, he was also indestructible. This was probably a truly divine body.

"Are you alright?" Shen Yi stepped forward and asked with a worried expression.

Tian Ming shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I can help you get this gravity weng. There isn't any on Blue Star, but there must be a lot in the star ring formed after the breaking of the Grandfather Tai Sui. I can go into space and clear out these fragments."

As Tian Ming spoke, the gravity weng in his hand continuously changed its shape according to his will.

Joy flickered in Shen Yi's eyes. He hadn't expected Tian Ming to be able to master this mysterious substance so easily.

"That's great! You can really get these materials."

Tian Ming nodded slightly. His previous abilities and speed were derived from manipulating matter. Once he left the ground and entered the sparse, empty space of outer space, his ability would be greatly diminished. But now it was different; he could not only manipulate matter but also convert energy.

With such an ability, going into space was no longer a problem for him. He could now go into space without any protection.

Tian Ming could directly convert high-energy particle rays and high-intensity radiation into pure energy for absorption. Since this gravity weng was so important, Tian Ming naturally wouldn't let it go. Clearing the star ring in the sky would at least provide enough gravity weng for use.

"Are you... are you sure you're really okay?" Shen Yi confirmed again, still worried about the unique experience Tian Ming had just undergone.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. This gravity weng not only gave me new power but also gave me a deeper understanding of energy and matter," Tian Ming replied with a smile.

Shen Yi carefully observed Tian Ming and found that he indeed showed no signs of discomfort. He took a deep breath, letting go of his worries.

"So, when do you plan to go into space to clear those fragments?" Shen Yi asked.

Tian Ming turned his head and looked at Shen Yi, saying, "It depends on your progress. Your anti-gravity engine, its core should be the gravity weng, right?"

Shen Yi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we originally planned to make these materials into a thin film, attach it to the inside of the engine, and then continuously bombard it with energy generated by high-energy particles to create a levitation field large enough to envelop the entire spacecraft."

Shen Yi paused and continued, "This energy field can not only provide levitation but also act as a shield when there is a large energy input. The gravity weng's conversion efficiency reaches 100%, with no energy loss, and it can also form a self-sustaining cycle. The input energy will continuously circulate internally and will only be released when doing work on the outside."

Shen Yi's words were easy to understand. It meant that the entire spacecraft needed to consume energy during ascent and movement, but levitation, staying still in a fixed area, did not require energy consumption. Even if there was consumption, it was only a slight resistance to the drag caused by high-altitude air currents. This thing's levitation field was like a superconductor, completely diamagnetic, but here, it was more like anti-gravity.

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, "You can start designing the levitation engine now. See if anyone wants to go into space with me. I can take some people and equipment up. After I clear the star ring, I can also deploy some satellites to restore global communication and improve our base's long-range strike and reconnaissance capabilities."

Hearing Tian Ming's suggestion, Shen Yi nodded slightly in agreement.

"Okay, I'll gather everyone and the base's management to solicit their opinions. A large number of researchers should be interested in this trip to space. After all, the topic of microgravity has always been at the forefront of technology."

"I can only take two people up at most; I can't take care of more. You'll have to design the space capsule. I can withstand the high-energy particles and various rays of the universe, but the people going up can't. Put them in the space capsule with a robotic arm, and I'll just be responsible for taking them up. When I come back, I'll bring them down."

Shen Yi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, give me ten days; I'll do the preparatory work."

Tian Ming smiled and said, "Take your time preparing, no rush. I can go up first and get some meteorites down. You can refine them yourselves, right?"

"Yes, we can refine them ourselves, but once the gravity weng accumulates to a certain amount, we won't be able to control it. So, you'll still have to handle the engine's coating."

"Okay, after I get them down, you can refine them yourselves. When it's time for final assembly, I'll do the coating." Tian Ming nodded and agreed.

The two discussed other details, and when Tian Ming emerged from the core Laboratory, he saw a young man in the exhibition hall, leading a large group of children on a tour. These children were between 5 and 7 years old, most of them having migrated from the Alliance.

Watching the little ones curiously listen to the teacher's explanation, a smile appeared on Tian Ming's face. As the leader of the entire base, seeing the little ones in the base grow up safely and healthily, receiving a good education, the sense of satisfaction brought by this achievement was hard to describe in words.
