Chapter 359: Chapter 316: Antimatter Condensation

The powerful force flowing within his body filled Lu Li with an irresistible sense of fascination.

As the quantity of energy caused a qualitative change, rapidly replacing the old energy within him, his body became stronger.

Lu Li did not immediately try to determine how much he had enhanced, but instead quietly felt some changes in the way he absorbed energy.

Previously, the way he absorbed energy was by taking in various free energies from the world and directly converting them into the energy that sustained him.

Now, as the energy underwent a qualitative change, the conversion method had also changed.

Indeed, it was the conversion method that changed, not the absorption method.

Lu Li “looked inward” at his “true self” and found that it seemed to have turned into a ball of fire.

When his body absorbed various energies from the outside world, the “flame” formed by his “true self” would “refine” these energies into a red energy like divine light.

From this perspective, the way of energy conversion seemed to have become more complicated.

After all, previously, the energy could be directly converted once absorbed into his body.

Now there was an additional “fire refining” process.

In fact, after careful sensing, Lu Li felt that having an extra “refining” process was not troublesome at all. On the contrary, after the energy was “refined,” its quality became more advanced.

“If the previous energy was like the light of an oil lamp, then the red energy like divine light now is as brilliant as turning on an electric lamp!”

Comparing by quality, the quality of the newly generated energy now is ten times that of the old energy!

Lu Li couldn’t help but marvel, “If the energy was divided into equal parts, then ten parts of the previous energy combined would only be equivalent to one part now.”

This enhancement was undoubtedly enormous.

So enormous that he found it a bit hard to believe.

Analyzing according to energy “quality,” Lu Li vaguely predicted that entering the fifth deep evolution might bring an especially tremendous enhancement.

“But the newly produced energy is not without flaws.”

Lu Li encountered the exact awkward situation he faced before every deep evolution.

The new energy’s quality was simply too high.

Filling himself with energy required a long period of absorption.

Instead of the previous seven or eight hours to absorb and refill completely.

“At the current rate of energy absorption and conversion, it would take at least seventy to eighty hours to replenish the energy in my body.”

Lu Li recalled the scene from his fourth deep evolution, “Then, if I enter the fifth deep evolution, gathering enough energy might be very difficult.”

This issue is not urgent for now.

After all, he hasn’t reached the fifth deep evolution yet.

Lu Li slowly floated up, passing through the walls of the villa without any visible movement.

If someone observed carefully, they would notice that when his body touched the wall, there was a slight ripple in the air, as if time and space had twisted, allowing him to perform an action like “wall-passing” from a supernatural tale.

This is somewhat similar to teleportation.

In fact, only Lu Li understood that space-time distortion and teleportation are fundamentally different.

Teleportation refers to the phenomenon and ability of transmitting objects to different spaces, or moving oneself instantly to another place.

When Lu Li activates his domain state, he can travel with people or objects enveloped within him over a certain distance, the more involved, the more energy consumed.

Space-time distortion is described in the theory of relativity where the shape and structure of space-time change due to the effects of matter and energy on time and space.

In relativity, space-time is a woven four-dimensional space whose shape and structure are influenced by factors like an object’s mass, speed, and position.

When an object moves or generates gravity, it alters the surrounding space-time, causing changes in the trajectory of objects, and in extreme cases, may even lead to the aggregation of energy and matter forming singularities such as black holes.

It can allow oneself to achieve effects similar to teleportation.

Moreover, it can also influence the space-time of the altered region to some extent.

“If my power were sufficient, I could even create a real black hole within a region!”

Hovering outside the villa, Lu Li looked at the sunny scene outside, analyzing this new superpower, “Unfortunately, although my current power is quite formidable, it is still insufficient to truly create a black hole.”

It is uncertain whether the fifth deep evolution will allow him to create a small black hole to some extent.

“Although I currently cannot use space-time distortion to create black holes, I can utilize it to accomplish other things.”

Lu Li pointed with his finger, and a small point of strange particles appeared at his fingertip.

If Shen Xia were beside him now and saw the particles coalescing at Lu Li’s fingertip, she would certainly be astonished.

Lu Li gazed at the particles at his fingertip, sighing softly, “I used to envy the immense power unleashed during the annihilation of anti-hydrogen atoms, but I never thought that after this energy’s qualitative change, I could at least create some antimatter.”

He had not seen other antimatter structures, so he couldn’t coalesce them.

Lu Li had seen antihydrogen atoms before, so he had a rough understanding of their structure.

Therefore, when he could truly achieve spacetime distortion, he was able to coalesce antimatter.

In fact, spacetime distortion does not directly produce antimatter.

The reason Lu Li could gather antihydrogen atoms was because he utilized the micro-eye function for coalescing matter from before.

Once the domain was activated, this function was integrated into it.

The reason he couldn’t coalesce antimatter before was because the conditions were insufficient.

To produce antimatter with current human technology, a high-energy particle accelerator is needed to accelerate protons to extremely high speeds, then collide them with target material, thus producing antiprotons and antinucleons.

This is one method.

Another is using a nuclear reactor or isotope generator to produce antimatter through the nuclear reactions of radioactive isotopes.

These two methods can both produce antimatter, but the quantity is very limited.

Because antimatter annihilates upon contact with ordinary matter.

Therefore, special care must be taken in experiments to avoid contact and annihilation between antimatter and ordinary matter.

Both the first and second methods have one thing in common: the need for an absolute vacuum.

This way, antimatter will not inadvertently collide with free atoms in the air, causing annihilation.

“Before, my domain was powerful but it couldn’t create an absolute vacuum. It’s different now that I can distort spacetime. I can create an absolute vacuum within the domain to meet the necessary conditions for coalescing antimatter.”

Lu Li looked at the antihydrogen weighing about one gram at his fingertips, “If I let it collide and annihilate with free atoms in the space now, just this small amount is enough to unleash the equivalent power of a 43,000-ton nuclear bomb.”

Just one gram of antihydrogen can release the power equivalent to three Little Boy atomic bombs when annihilated!

“Most critically…”

Lu Li’s eyes gleamed, “With my current strength, I can not only gather one gram of antihydrogen, but I could coalesce around 250 grams of antihydrogen!”

One gram is already equivalent to the explosive power of a 43,000-ton nuclear bomb.

grams equates to the power of a 10-million-ton nuclear bomb!

“Previously, I gathered subatomic particles of ’volcanic tuff’ weighing several kilograms that needed the right angle and position to unleash the power equivalent to a multi-million-ton nuclear bomb. But now, I can coalesce 250 grams of antihydrogen, and even without aiming for any angle, it can explode with the power equivalent to a 10-million-ton nuclear bomb. If I adjust for angle and position, the unleashed power will likely be even greater.”

Lu Li knew that from this moment, it wasn’t just about consuming beef; he could approach Frieza and potentially collect rent from all over Earth if he wanted.

“Currently, I still haven’t replenished my energy to its peak, so I can’t gather that much antihydrogen. This is something only achievable in extreme conditions.”

Lu Li waved his hand, and the gram of antihydrogen at his fingertips disappeared.

He didn’t dare let this antihydrogen touch free atoms in space.

Otherwise, the resulting explosion would be unimaginably disastrous.

“Alright, I’ve grasped a new superpower, now I can test the existing superpowers and see how much my physical body has been enhanced.”

Lu Li maximized the domain.

The next moment, the domain continued expanding outward.

In the blink of an eye, the domain enveloped an area with a radius of about 160 kilometers.

“Judging from the domain’s expansion range, I should have doubled in strength since before my slumber.”

Lu Li took everything within the 160-kilometer radius into his view.

Whether it was the “cattle and horses” working in each office or the flow of particles in the breeze, nothing could escape his eyes.

The most important aspect is that the domain inherently has the scanning ability of “consciousness projection.”

If he wanted, he could completely replicate the compositional structure of everything within the 160-kilometer radius.

If there was enough energy, he could even use particle reconstitution to recreate a scene identical to it.

However, he couldn’t create living beings.

“The domain’s range has significantly increased, similarly, energy consumption has become more severe.”

Lu Li analyzed, “At my peak, I could maintain the domain for about ten minutes, any more and it wouldn’t hold.”

Currently, I have not yet replenished my energy, so I certainly can’t afford to waste any more.

He promptly deactivated the domain, eyes flickering slightly, “Although I’m low on energy and unable to test many of the domain’s superpowers now, I can test the Biological Force Field to assess the enhancement.”

With that thought, his body trembled slightly, and the Biological Force Field was activated.

Previously, the Biological Force Field had a coverage radius of sixty meters.

This time, upon full activation, it surprisingly reached a massive radius of 120 meters!

Lu Li was secretly excited, “From the expansion of the Biological Force Field’s range, I should have improved in all aspects by about double. Alright, now let’s test it out and see if it matches my expectations!”
