Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1041 743: A Frightening Amount of Research Data

"..."

Li Zheng suddenly thought, if that historical figure hadn't taken a wrong path and had successfully developed a method to break through the spiritual power limit, would there not have been incidents of the Celestial Will Organization hunting Outer City residents to extract spiritual power as external assistance?

Or perhaps, even the Emotion Storms would have been completely resolved, and Water Blue Star wouldn't have suffered this massive relocation, and he himself wouldn't have been cloned by the Terminal and thrown into the Matrix?

Things that never happened cannot yield a definite answer.

Li Zheng decided to discard this meaningless thought from his mind to avoid wasting energy on such random musings.

"Let me try your method first."

The doctor, according to the experience just now, created a singularity. The "sea water" in his spiritual realm immediately boiled over, gurgling wildly into the center of the singularity more fiercely than anyone Li Zheng had ever seen condensing nodes, and the rate at which the singularity expanded was the fastest.

For a full hour, all the spiritual power sea water was drawn out by the singularity, and the singularity became full and expanded, its mere state being larger by a whole circle than others!

Next was the spiritual body, which is also the manifestation of spiritual power, and truly embodies a person's spiritual power source. The node must gather every drop of spiritual power together without any wastage to succeed.

Li Zheng watched this scene, noticing some differences between the spiritual power sea water the doctor created and the Hundred Flowers Painting's garden.

The Hundred Flowers garden and butterflies are more like external forces, providing only partial assistance, and won't be absorbed during the node condensation.

While the spiritual power sea water is the doctor's own property, sharing the same origin, equivalent to accumulating some spiritual power that would later fill the node before the condensation began.

For example: When a node first condenses, its state is "one," and fully filled for the second node will be "ten," then what the doctor did was equivalent to directly boosting the base to "seven" when condensing nodes, requiring only a small input next to start condensing the second node.

But Li Zheng had a doubt, which was, after the base was raised to "seven," is the full state of this node still "ten"?

Regarding this, he recalled his own condition, where his spiritual body merged with the energy of virtual six-digit nodes, so what is his current state?

A node?

Or does he only have a spiritual body, without a node?

At this moment, Li Zheng suddenly had a bold idea, if he could compress his entire spiritual power into the Dark Realm and then use the virtual teachings to condense nodes, could he compress all his spiritual power into a node?

Li Zheng was startled by this idea but also a bit excited: "If it succeeds, would I escape the current danger of being constantly overwhelmed by spiritual power?"

Moreover…

"After success, could this node be pulled out of the Dark Realm?"

No way!

Li Zheng recalled that the node requires the spiritual realm as support, and his spiritual realm was gone long ago.

Just like a pearl that must be preserved in a box, his box exploded into nothing at the start, so where could the pearl be placed once taken out?

"Unless I can think of a way to fully open the Dark Realm gate modified by the Lamp Carrier's Mark, treating the Dark Realm as my spiritual realm!"

He quickly came up with a solution: "However, before that, I can't attempt such a dangerous attempt, or if unforeseen accidents occur, it would be too late for remediation."

Li Zheng increasingly felt he needed many helpers in different areas to research things he couldn't study.

"Individual ability ultimately has limits, if only I could have several trusted people enter the Outer City, I could just give research topics and let others do the thinking."

Patiently waiting until the doctor fully stuffed the spiritual body into the singularity, at the moment the time was ripe, the singularity expanded with a boom, and a round node appeared in the spiritual world.

Subsequently, the doctor's spiritual body was extracted from the node, which was the foundation, and spiritual power was generated from here, capable of being separately removed from the node.

"So this is the feeling after breaking through." The doctor's brow slightly furrowed: "The intensity weakened somewhat, but it became more enduring, and its quality improved significantly from before."

Using a not very apt metaphor, before condensing the node, the doctor's spiritual power was equivalent to a pound of cotton, and after condensing, the pound of cotton turned into a pound of iron.

Even with the same weight, although iron's volume isn't as large as cotton, if it hit someone, it is certainly iron that would cause more harm.

"However, the future turns into infinite possibilities, no longer bound and restricted." Li Zheng said, then withdrew from the doctor's spiritual world.

When the doctor came to, he stated his request: "Can you give me your method of condensing 'sea water' in the spiritual world? I have some ideas that need testing."

"Sure."

The doctor casually took out five tablet computers, marked them, and handed them to Li Zheng: "Here are all the backup copies of the relevant materials, you can study them slowly."

"Here is a piece of information?"

"One." The doctor nodded slightly.

Li Zheng was stunned: "Are there so many materials for one project?"

Outer City's tablet computers have an astonishing capacity, up to 1024YB!

To fill one tablet with data is enough to make one feel overwhelmed, and there are a total of five tablets, merely getting a rough understanding of the materials could take an unimaginable amount of time, right?

"The main content is in tablet number 5, the materials aren't much." The doctor explained: "The other four tablets contain all research I've done related to spiritual power over the years, anticipating you might ask for these things later, so I'm just giving them all to you."

"That's good." Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, realizing the first four tablets were merely the development history of the contents in the fifth tablet, and since he wasn't inclined towards research, he only needed to look at the fifth tablet.

"The matter is resolved, I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now. If you need anything, just contact my bio-robot." The doctor seemed really busy, as he had mentioned several times about being occupied, and at this point, simply dropped everything, eager to depart.

The doctor had just left, the bio-robot doctor emerged from the side door, asking: "Anything else?"

"Yes." Finally, Li Zheng expressed his true purpose for visiting the clinic: "I want to see the Soul Loss patients you've taken in."

The bio-robot doctor's expression shifted: "Do you have a way to cure them?"

"Just a conjecture."

Li Zheng shook his head: "It's still uncertain if it will work."

"Better than having no leads." The bio-robot doctor said: "Follow me, I'll take you down."
