Chapter 747: A Shocking Discovery (Planet Crystal)
Chapter 747: A Shocking Discovery (Planet Crystal)
It was just like a fairyland of technology on the fourth underground floor, with many different projects going on.
Amidst the most focused there was the weapons advancement project, which was primarily focused on the light weapons, their range, power, and penetration.
There was the Robo-suit research, just like its lame name suggested it was nothing more than a research team dealing with human robotics.
Trying to manufacture strong and helping robotic suits that would increase a special stat of the wearer depending on the required attribute and element.
For example, there was cheeta-rob which was a robotic suit concentrating on increasing the speed and agility of the wearer, and bear-rob which was focused on increasing the strength, and explosive power.
There were a lot more projects going on in there, which made Tianlong Yun extremely surprised but considering the fact that this was a secret base, equal to a trump card it did make sense.
Even though this place wasn't in the center of attention, and funding, these guys must certainly receive a good load from the power-ups every once in a while.
Unfortunately, all the scientists on this floor were all old men with bald heads or at least half bald heads, so Tianlong Yun didn't have any other interest besides the 'toys' they were playing with.
The fifth and last floor was the cherry on top for the facility, even though most people would think of it as a normal nuclear plant, the truth was that it was more than that.
In a large corner of the fifth floor, Tianlong Yun felt traces of energy that didn't match with the rest of the nuclear plant, which certainly gained his attention.
Even though he tried to walk in that direction as naturally as possible, the moment he approached in 100 meters radius and wanted to go further, he could see that the scientists around him changed faces.
There was something wrong with this situation. Was he supposed to not know anything about it? Why were these guys looking at him as if trying to confirm his identity?
Without losing time he immediately asked the real general that was inside his Old Pouch, and it turned out that it was just like he guessed, he wasn't supposed to know about that.
Still, his curiosity and excitement at the moment were going through the roof, as if his senses were right, then he had managed to stumble upon a great treasure.
There was a reason why planets and star systems could keep their shape, and provide opportunities for life. Earth wasn't the only planet with life, his existence was enough of a proof for that.
In fact, Earth could be said to be one of the smallest planets out there, as far as he was concerned but that didn't matter right now.
What mattered was the reason why Earth and other planets were able to be planets and keep their properties, the Planet Crystal.
Just like every human had a heart and Dantian, just like a beast had a heart and a monster core, Planets had their own hearts and cores, with the only difference being that for planets it was the same.
At the Planet Core of each planet was found something that many civilizations and many races gave different naming, but that Tianlong Yun liked to call the Planet Crystal.
That Planet Crystal was the reason for the Planets shape, characteristics, and most importantly energy.
In a really mysterious way, these crystals would suck every type of waste energy in the air or in space and retrieve it towards their 'selves'.
With the extra energy, they would also manage to pull all kinds of materials containing life or energy towards them, with the intention of absorbing their energy slowly.
Weirdly that happened only at first though, as slowly the materials around the Planet Crystal would actually gain similar abilities to the Crystal and start absorbing energy from the Planet Crystal.
It was a symbiotic relationship, the Planet Crystal used them to suck energy, and they used the Planet Crystal as a battery of sustenance.
Of course, there was no unlimited power, and no eternal life, if there were the Gods of the Past would still be existing in the current times.
Even these Planet Crystals had their limit their saturation point, and depending on their limit the size, energy, and birth of natural treasures of energy.
The reason why he started thinking about all this at the moment was related to the sensation he just received.
If his senses weren't playing games with him, then that feeling of energy he sensed was actually coming from a fragment of Planet Crystal.
Even for Tianlong Yun, this claim was nothing short of craziness! Planet Crystals were almost impossible to break or destroy.
If one wanted to actually destroy a Planet Crystal he would have the use the strength of a Supernova, or a black hole.
It wasn't completely impossible as there were already cases of that happening, but the number of people and their strength at that moment was beyond the charts.
The latest one he remembered was the attack of his Royal Dragon Clan towards one of the Demonic Races named the Demonic Centipede race.
Just like their names suggest they were a race comprised of powerful Centipede Beasts, and most importantly Centipede Beasts who had cultivated enough to gain human appearance.
The reason why his Royal Dragon Race had gone against them was due to their atrocities towards a few Royal Dragon Princesses in a party, as one of them had even ra*ped one of the Princesses.
He clearly had done something like that in order to obtain the Royal Dragon Princesses bloodline through her purity Yin Essence blood.
Well, the reason and story didn't really matter, what it mattered was that his Royal Dragon Race had actually completely destroyed and extinguished them.
In order to make sure that this became a lesson for the rest of the world, his Royal Dragon Clan had even destroyed the Planet Crystal.
In order to make that happen thought it was needed the cooperation of 3 Ancestors who were at least in the late stages of the High God Realm.
Earth wasn't like the Immortal World though, there were no traces of energy that would be able to help its inhabitants reach the God Realm.
That was also the reason why powerhouses like the Grand Marshall had the ability to reach until the late stages of the Great Ascension Boundary Realm but weren't able to make the last step.
According to Tianlong Yun calculations, Earth would be able to give birth to an actual God Realm powerhouse only one in ten thousand years.
Which was far from the rate of other low Realm planets outside in the starry sky. Yet, a fragment of a Planet Crystal was found on Earth, and in a place like this.
This was surely something beyond a coincidence, this clearly meant that there was something weird about this planet, just like he had suspected all this time.
But that was a matter for later, right now he had more important things to care about, like that fragment of the Planet Crystal.
He didn't care what he needed to do, for that treasure he was willing to do anything he had to do, even if it meant destroying this whole base he was in.
If it were something else perhaps he might have acted more rationally and kept with his plan, but this thing was just too precious.
Only a tiny fragment of a Planet Crystal that was even smaller than a fingernail would help him reach the peak of his current Realm, and even help him breakthrough in the next one.
Not only that, but he could even use that fragment to expand his Old Pouch, or even develop this treasure further into a small planet.
Not only would the energy concentration inside the Old Pouch increase, but it might even create its own Realm and sustenance.
Just thinking about that it was enough for him to salivate with all his being, as this was even better than having all the ladies in the two countries serve him together for a million years.
It took him a lot of will and determination in order to control his urges and himself, as this was just too much.
Fortunately, he managed to control himself from jumping directly in that direction, stealing the thing and causing a tragedy to the whole base.
Still, there was no way he would be able to control himself in front of this thing, as he decided to precede his plans by a lot.
To be more exact he decided to take control of the base today, and not waste even a single hour more, as he immediately gave sound to all his slaves to prepare.
At the same time, he told his 'wife' the vice-general to arrange a meeting with her father as soon as possible, while sending news to the one-handed general about the presence of one of his accomplices at the border.
In fact, the information he gave to the one-handed general was about a secret base of his Shadow Clan in the country.
The only one he had managed to set up in the vicinity, containing almost all of the information for this part of the world.
If he wanted to pull the one-handed general away he had to give him some real information, otherwise, he wouldn't take the bait.
By the time he had returned the base would be in his hands, and he could easily subdue the one-handed general.
With these thoughts, he had to force himself to turn around and walk towards the elevator, followed by the weird-faced scientists
