Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 206 The Use of Energy

Within the Frozen Dimension.

Shi Qian recently received some pretty good news.

This time, the content is about the "wave of life," which is related to the "crystallization of the wave of life."

This crystal contains life energy, and it is extremely pure.

When Shi Qian used the energy core to modify the mechanism in the desert dimension, he discovered life energy, which can repair soil that cannot be planted and promote the rapid growth of plants. In comparison, the ripening of bone meal can be considered a use of life energy.

When he picked up the crystal again to study it, he immediately noticed the homogenized energy. Before discovering life energy, he could say he had no idea what was inside.

However, Shi Qian was a little unclear about what this concentration of life energy meant.

When asked about the burial of the evil, they all remained silent.

Aside from those two times he spoke in Shi Qian's mind, he didn't discuss his past in the Flag Space at all.

The life energy within the crystal seemed to be sealed inside.

Shi Qian himself does not yet have the ability to successfully open it and release its energy.

The white crystal rock that Shi Qian had Ran Xiao dig out last time couldn't be said to be very useful; it only caused a negligible reaction in crystallization.

Even after placing those pure white crystal rocks on it, it still didn't reach the threshold. The purple particles just kept increasing. I wonder what will emerge when it reaches that point.

Shi Qian regarded this crystal as a blind box that required a lot of effort to solve a puzzle to open, and his desire to explore drove him to find a way to open it.

He's been digging up those underground ruins lately.

Shi Qian found a total of four cities with the same style, besides Xiyue City, all of which were located deep underground.

At each altar, there is crystal rock.

This means that if he wanted to, those preserved etched figures could most likely see the light of day again.

However, Shi Qian does not intend to release all the etched people now.

The space inside the banner of mortal evil was limited and simply not enough to accommodate any more etched figures.

Currently, I do not have any other space where living things can exist for a long time.

The enlarged custom block, as it stands, doesn't seem to be able to accommodate any creature other than Shi Qian himself.

Moreover, it can only be used on the main body; it cannot be used on clones.

Even if that space could hold living beings, it would have to wait until Shi Qian's main body returned to the frozen dimension.

As for crystals, although there are white crystal rocks in those cities, they are filled with etched figures.

Shi Qian couldn't just ignore the few remaining etched figures who might still survive.

So even if all the remaining white crystal rocks in the homes of those etchers were enough to trigger a real reaction in the [Crystallization of the Life Wave], he still couldn't overcome that mental hurdle.

Now all I can do is rummage through boxes every day, hoping to find another [pure white crystal rock].

Although the hope is already very slim...

However, Shi Qian had a new idea about this crystal.

It contains life energy, though it's unclear what it can do.

However, the people in [World Order 11] must have their reasons for doing this.

To know...

[World Order 11] is most likely the hometown of eleven years ago.

Eleven years ago, no one knew where he was in the main world, but the things he took out of his hometown must be connected to him.

Perhaps this item, which seals life energy, can restrain the opponent...

Eleven years ago, he sent his monster out to his vicinity, with a very clear objective, indicating that the other party definitely knew who he was and should also know what he was doing.

The fact that they appeared near the portal makes it easy to guess that they were heading straight for it.

When facing their own monster group, they immediately reveal their weapons.

What is this if not a declaration of war?

Although the two have not met yet, judging from the current situation, they are already on opposite sides.

If there is a way to restrain the other party, Shi Qian would be happy to try.

He's not quite sure how life energy is transformed.

It was discovered while I was writing a program for the neighboring desert...

However, the situation is different in dimensions. The large-scale energy dissipation is not applicable to the frozen dimension.

Shi Qian himself didn't know which part was able to transform into life energy, so he could only try it slowly with the core.

Even if he discovers the way to create life energy, he will try to transform it into something similar to the crystallization of life waves.

However, this crystal...

I don't know if it solidified like this, or if there was a gem template that was then sealed inside.

The process of life energy is relatively complicated, and Shi Qian does not intend to spend all his time looking for methods.

He now possesses crystals, and as for energy... everyone has energy, even consciousness energy is energy.

The teaching of the 09 series includes methods for energy compression.

However, according to Shi Qian's memory, generally speaking, compressing and releasing energy is an offensive action.

For example, the attack released by the scepter that the second clone saw while chasing Feng Ning was an example of energy conversion, compression, and release.

He is now going to compress a mass of consciousness energy into a crystal for storage.

I'm a little worried it might explode...

Isn't this just a metal shell filled with gunpowder, a pure hand grenade?

Shi Qian is still not very proficient in controlling energy.

The previous shield was actually just a thin layer of consciousness energy spread evenly on the surface of the body.

Later, the increased thickness slightly improved its attack resistance, but its performance was still very poor.

Shi Qian wanted the same effect that had been applied to Feng Ning back then.

It survived a barrage of arrows without dying, so you can imagine how strong its shield was.

But now I know that what appears to be only one layer, yet possesses extremely high defense, is likely achieved by compressing energy, compressing it, and compressing it again...

Shi Qian pulled out a thread-like energy and held it in front of him, trying to roll it up and then flatten it with a palm.

Great, it's flattened but hasn't burst, that works.

He rolled out nine more flattened balls, put them together, and then slapped them down violently to combine them.

"Bam—"

Shi Qian's shield shattered.

"Fortunately, there wasn't much energy..."

Shi Qian took a half step back, still feeling lingering fear.

Brute-force synthesis is not advisable; we must control compression gradually.

However, Shi Qian no longer plans to compress the crystal completely before stuffing it inside.

Instead, they chose to slowly pour the energy in, like filling a sausage.

Compress it internally.

Although this might turn into a fragmentation grenade, and I estimate that being blown up would directly reduce my health by half.

However, relatively speaking, this also allows one to become familiar with energy.
