Legend has it that the flames of the fire can burn the entire land, including mountains and rivers.

Of course, this is just a legend, and there is obviously an element of exaggeration, but the flames released by Ifrit through the power of the fire demon are indeed not ordinary fires.

Although it still draws energy from the source stone, this fire is completely different from the high temperature of the source stone technique and the production of industrial equipment.

Xia Feng didn't know how high the flame of the Fire Demon could reach in the extreme state, but in his experience, if a nuclear bomb exploded, it could instantly create a high temperature of up to 50 million degrees Celsius, which was higher than the temperature of the sun.

Of course, Ifrit is not a nuclear bomb, and Lao Pu does not need a high temperature of 50 million degrees, but from experience, Ifrit's flame can obviously meet the needs.

In this way, after taking on this glorious mission, Ifrit rolled up her sleeves and followed Lao Pu back to the source stone processing factory.

At first, Helmer was extremely opposed to Ifrett taking the form of a "tool man" and participating in this subversive experiment, but later, she chose to acquiesce.

After that, Xia Feng did not actually observe the specific experimental process, because there were too many things he needed to be busy with every day.

Until a certain day.

....

The sky was grayish-white, and all the leaves outside the window of the governor's office had fallen off.

The summer breeze raised its head, and a crystal snowflake drifted in through the open window, which means that winter has arrived.

He quietly watched the snowflakes fall on the windowsill, and unconsciously recalled the smile that bloomed in the ice and snow in his mind.

Before you know it, it's almost a year coming.

A moment later, Sora walked in.

"My lord, it's snowing outside, let me close the window for you, my lord, my lord?"

Summer Breeze came back to his senses.

"Huh?"

"I said close the window for you, what are you looking at?"

Summer Breeze withdrew his gaze from the windowsill.

"Oh, nothing, close it."

"Okay."

The room temperature in the office was a little cold, the water in the cup was also cold, and Xia Feng sat quietly behind the desk, still a little distracted.

At this moment, Lao Puxing rushed into the office.

"Xia Feng, we succeeded!"

Hearing this shout, Xia Feng's dull gaze instantly bloomed.

"What!"

.....

With Mel and Hemmer along with Pu at this time, it was clear that this subversive experiment had already borne fruit.

"Bang dang!"

Lao Pu put a large metal box on the desk and said excitedly.

"Xia Feng, it's done, that's it!"

Xia Feng looked at the large metal box and said with some uncertainty.

"It's ..... Made a box? ”

"No, just one."

"One, such a big one?"

Mel said proudly with an excited and mysterious smile.

"Hehe, don't look at the volume, but compared to the energy it contains, it can be said to be very small."

Xia Feng stared at the big box with wide eyes.

"I don't really understand what I mean."

"Hey, it's pretty awesome anyway."

"Where's the power?"

In the end, as the relatively calm person of the three, Hemmer gently pushed down his glasses and gave a professional explanation.

"It's like this......."

....

According to Hemer's instructions, the contents of the box were the final product of the experiment.

Of course, there are still many flaws in this so-called finished product, and it is completely unsatisfactory compared to the record in "Earth and Wind", but this is already the limit of what can be achieved with current technology.

First of all, the box contains a "golden stone", Hemmer temporarily calls it a source stone crystal, as for why it is contained in a metal box, it is because this source stone crystal has super strong source stone energy radiation and ultra-high pathogenicity to ordinary people.

Later, after dispersing some of the staff of the Governor's Mansion and ensuring safety, Xia Feng opened the box and observed.

Similar to what is written, the "stone" inside is indeed close to gold, but slightly cloudy, and in general, this round stone is the size of a basketball.

However, its power lies not in its appearance.

In terms of volume, this "source stone crystal" is more than ten times larger than the ordinary S-grade finished source stone, but the energy density it contains is far more than thousands of times that of the ordinary source stone!

To explain in a simple and crude way, the "source stone crystal" in front of him is almost equivalent to 5,000-6,000 finished source stones in terms of energy supply.

But at the same time, if it is explained in a more professional way, then it is definitely not a matter of addition and subtraction, but a typical quantitative change that causes qualitative change.

.....

Xia Feng didn't understand Hemer's technical terminology very well, but with his own comprehension ability, he could probably know.

The difference between "source stone crystal" and ordinary source stone is not how much energy, but the output power, if you want to support the operation of a power-consuming device, you must reach a certain power, otherwise, even if the "amount" is useless.

And now, this semi-finished "Source Stone Crystal" has far exceeded the original upper limit of this world in terms of power, that is, ordinary source stones.

Under such conditions, theories that were previously limited by the framework will have the possibility of being realized.

In other words, the basketball-sized stone in the box at this time may be the beginning of a revolution, that is, the second source stone technology revolution.

And the end point of the revolution is the city in the sky depicted in "The Earth and the Wind".

.....

This is an exciting result and has epochal significance.

But in addition to the excitement, Xia Feng did not become more optimistic because of this.

He is not a professional of Yuanshi Technology, and it is precisely because he is not professional that he has some irrational illusions.

He had always thought that if the experiment was successful, he could change something.

However, the reality is brutal.

The success of the experiment is also a moment of disillusionment, he knows what Mel is happy about, and for scientists, it is not the present that cares, but the future.

From the birth of a theory to the perfect application, there is still a long way to go, and he doesn't seem to have so much time.

Putting aside the output power of the "source stone crystallization", if we talk about the quality alone, this experiment has no practical significance for the current development at all.

Because, the birth process of this "source stone crystal", which contains the energy of 5,000-6,000 source stones, consumed more than 20,000 source stones.

Although Yandong has sufficient resources, he is not rich enough to exchange 20,000 for 5,000 casually.

......

Mel's Sky Battleship, if it were to be built now, would take at least a few years to complete, and by then, the application of new energy sources would still require experimentation, and it would take years, if not decades, to get it right.

Of course, Mel's enthusiasm doesn't fade, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't see that day, that's what she stands for.

But Xia Feng himself did not live to leave anything for future generations.

He is very selfish, and what he wants to hold on to is the moment within reach.
