Tang Feng can be sure that since returning to the yacht to replenish the energy of the star core to 99%, he has never used the star core, and he has never let the star core consume a trace of energy storage, but now, how can the almost full energy storage invisibly evaporate by 80%?

"Does it take energy to fuse the core substance?"

After a long time, Tang Feng shook his head and rejected the idea. After all, every time the star core consumes energy, a prompt will appear, even if it is to activate the survey function, this kind of prompt will appear, so that you can choose as a host.

Since the star core did not prompt the energy consumption when fusing the core matter just now, it means that this fusion process will not consume energy, otherwise, the star core will definitely send a prompt. Because if the energy is insufficient and the fusion is forcibly carried out, then the energy will definitely be exhausted, and then the host will be sucked dry, and eventually even the star core will disappear.

The main purpose of the Star Core's prompt every time it consumes energy is to prevent this from happening, and this is a fundamental principle that will never be changed.

"Since the star core didn't send out a prompt just now, it means that the fusion process will not consume the energy storage of the star core!" Tang Feng muttered to himself.

"Then, if this situation occurs, it is very likely that there is another possibility, and this possibility should be the largest, and it is also the most reasonable!" Tang Feng frowned and muttered to himself.

In fact, from the underground space at the bottom of Vincent Peak, when Tang Feng first heard that this star core was not a complete body, a question had been haunting Tang Feng's heart.

According to that Andro. Fan. As Mr. Alexander said, this is a star core that can be upgraded to the planetary level at least, that is, after reaching the fifth level. A complete planetary core is at least capable of controlling a planet. In other words, once this star core is upgraded to level five, then its most basic function, that is, the survey function, can at least cover the entire earth.

But judging from the development speed of the previous stages of this star core, from level one to level four. The survey area of each level has only increased tenfold, and after the fourth level, the survey area is only 10,000 square kilometers. According to the tenfold increase of each level, even if it is upgraded to level five, the survey area of this star core is only 100,000 square kilometers.

Even if the multiplier may increase after the fourth level is upgraded to the fifth level, but the base of 10,000 square kilometers is too small, even if it is upgraded to the fifth level, the increase is a hundredfold, a thousand times or even ten thousand times. That's not a long way from surveying the entire earth.

Then, the only explanation is that this star core itself is not a complete body, so neither the survey range nor the energy required for upgrading can be compared with the complete body.

Perhaps, if this star core is a complete body, then it is only at the first level. The survey area may be 10,000 square kilometers, and the energy required for the upgrade. Perhaps it is not the radioactive elements equivalent to tens of tons of enriched uranium in the first place.

Now, the star core is moving closer to the whole body, although it is only a core substance, but it has almost increased the ability of the star core to all functions by five times, so correspondingly, it was originally a full amount of energy storage. After the star core fused with the first core substance, it became one-fifth of the full energy, which is a matter of course.

It's like if the volume of a ton of iron is 0.128 cubic meters, but if you replace iron with water, then the volume of a ton of water will immediately become 1 cubic meter! Of course, although the analogy is somewhat inappropriate. But it is a good illustration of the current situation.

At the same weight, the volume increases because the density changes

The reason why the energy storage of the star core occurs in this situation is probably the same principle as this situation.

Originally, before the fusion of the first core substance, the full energy storage of the fourth-level star core required about the energy converted from radioactive materials equivalent to 4,000 tons of enriched uranium, but now after the fusion of the first core substance, the full energy storage of this star core requires about 20,000 tons of energy converted from radioactive materials of enriched uranium.

"In fact, the energy storage of the star core has not changed now, what has changed is the upper limit of energy storage!" The more Tang Feng thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was the greatest and the most reasonable.

"That's easy to say, isn't it just an experiment?"

Tang Feng decisively launched the survey function, and the result was really as Tang Feng expected, the original launch of a survey function was fixed and consumed 2% of the energy storage, but after the fusion of the first core substance, the energy consumed by the start of the survey function was only 0.4%.

"Consumption has been reduced by 80%! And sure enough, it was! Tang Feng said with a laugh.

In the past, Tang Feng felt that the energy consumed by this survey function was too large, and when it was at the first level, the consumption of 2% was reasonable, but when it came to the second, third and even fourth levels, every time the survey function was started, 2% of the energy was consumed.

The 2% energy consumption of the fourth level is a thousand times that of the first level, which is enough for the first-level star core to upgrade the second-level star core twenty times! Although the survey area has also increased by a thousand times, Tang Feng always feels that this increase in the survey area is inconsistent with the energy consumed.

Don't forget, there's one more crucial element of the Star Core upgrade!

Upgrade, upgrade! What is the upgrade for? Isn't it just to improve the function of the star core? Otherwise, what do you want to upgrade? After the upgrade, the expansion of the survey area is a matter of course, but it is still a fixed percentage of energy consumption, which is unreasonable!

But judging from the current situation, the reason for this unreasonable situation is obviously because the previous star core was not a complete body!

Because the star core is not a complete body, the previous star core has vulnerabilities in many ways!

And when the star core is fused with three core substances, the previous loopholes will be completely closed!

The facts in front of him have proved Tang Feng's judgment very well. Just after fusing the first core substance, the various functions of the star core have not only increased by five times, but also the upper limit of energy storage has also increased by five times, and the survey function that used to consume energy according to a fixed proportion has decreased with the increase of the upper limit of energy, from the original 2% to 0.4%, a full five-fold drop!

And once the star core has fused all the remaining two core substances into a true whole, then this change will still occur!

"It's just that the improvement of functions and the reduction of energy consumption are good things, but if it is upgraded, the energy required is not it."

Tang Feng suddenly thought of this thing that made him feel even more painful. (To be continued.) )
