Chapter 323 Demon Corpses, Very Valuable?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang tapped his finger lightly and smiled:
"You're being a little too modest!"
The victory in the battle made everyone feel much more relaxed.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Gang turned to Warwick and Warkong and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Especially to Warwick, he assured:
"I keep my promise about the gold coins; you can spend them anytime."
Warwick grinned.
"Thank you for your generosity. That money will be used to buy custom-made weapons."
After exchanging pleasantries, the group finished their exchange.
Long Zhan turned around, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield.
The coastline was littered with the corpses of demons.
Black blood soaked the beach, and the air was filled with a pungent, putrid stench that made people nauseous.
He frowned and gave an order to his adjutant beside him:
"Notify all units to immediately clean up the battlefield."
"Collect all the demon corpses and burn them together."
The adjutant saluted: "Yes, sir!"
If these corpses are not disposed of, they can easily breed plague.
The voice just fell.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind.
"etc!"
"General Long, wait!"
Everyone turned their heads.
Two figures came running, panting heavily.
It was Liu Chengen and Qian Zhenhua.
Both academicians are quite old, yet they ran incredibly fast, staggering and nearly falling.
Liu Chengen's hair was messy, and his old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses were askew on one side of his nose.
Qian Zhenhua's face was flushed, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his white coat was open, fluttering in the wind.
Long Zhan raised an eyebrow:
"Academician Liu, Academician Qian, what's wrong?"
Liu Chengen rushed forward, bent over, supporting himself on his knees, and gasped for breath.
"Don't burn it!"
"Whatever you do, don't burn it!"
He looked up, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"The demon's corpse is extremely useful!"
Long Zhan was taken aback.
Lin Mo also curiously came over:
"What great use is it?"
Liu Chengen took a deep breath and finally caught his breath.
He pushed up his glasses, his voice trembling with excitement:
"Based on the research conducted on the demon corpses during this period..."
"Our latest findings are finally out!"
Qian Zhenhua also stepped forward and added:
"The corpses of demons can be condensed into high-purity energy blocks."
"Moreover, the higher the grade, the higher the purity of the energy block."
Lin Mo blinked:
"Energy cubes?"
Liu Chengen nodded and took out a small transparent box from his pocket.
Inside the box lay a crystal the size of a thumb.
The crystal is transparent and has a faint luster, which makes it clear that it contains a lot of energy.
"Did you see that?"
Liu Chengen held up the box so that everyone could see it clearly.
Sunlight shines on the crystal, refracting it into rings of light, making it as beautiful as crystal itself.
"This is the energy block extracted from the body of a fourth-tier demon."
"It's about the size of a AA battery."
He paused, then his voice suddenly rose.
"But its energy density is ten thousand times that of lithium batteries!"
Lin Mo: "???"
Long Zhan: "!!!"
Zhao Gang's eyes widened:
"Ten thousand times?"
Qian Zhenhua adjusted his glasses and added meticulously:
"To be precise, it's 9873 times."
"We have done precise calculations."
"If we calculate based on the volume of a battery that can hold one kilowatt-hour of electricity..."
"An energy block of the same volume can output 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity!"
Lin Mo gasped.
One hundred million kilowatt-hours?
What does this mean?
An average family uses only a few thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.
One hundred million kilowatt-hours of electricity is enough to power tens of thousands of households for a year!
And this is something that can be done with just one energy block?
The surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded.
Someone muttered to themselves:
"One hundred million kilowatt-hours... My family only uses two thousand kilowatt-hours a year... We could never use it all in a lifetime?"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice:
"Holy crap, is this thing a nuclear battery?"
Seeing everyone's shock, Liu Chengen became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Not only that!"
"The corpses of demons can also be decomposed into various metallic minerals!"
He held up his fingers and counted them one by one.
"Iron, copper, zinc, titanium, rare earth elements..."
"There are even some special metals that we've never seen before!"
Qian Zhenhua picked up the conversation:
"According to our research, while demons do consume meat, it is only a supplementary food."
"Just like humans eat vegetables and desserts."
"And various minerals are the staple food of the demon race."
"It's equivalent to rice."
Liu Chengen nodded:
"That's right."
"Demons increase the purity of their internal energy by consuming minerals, thereby advancing in rank and enhancing their combat power."
"At the same time, the minerals they consume will strengthen their physique."
"This is why the physical strength of demons far surpasses that of other creatures of the same level."
He took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present.
"In other words..."
"Every demon corpse is a resource!"
"It's all energy!"
Lin Mo was stunned.
Good heavens, the demons can even turn trash into treasure?
Isn't this just a walking ore?
A thought suddenly popped into his head.
What's the difference between this and playing video games? You can even get loot from these games?
Lin Mo snapped out of his reverie and couldn't help but ask:
"Academician Liu, that seventh-tier demon..."
"How many kilowatt-hours of electricity can be extracted?"
Liu Chengen pushed up his glasses and frowned.
He gestured with his fingers in the air as if calculating, while muttering to himself.
"Although I've never refined the corpses of seventh-tier demons..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lin Mo.
"But based on current data—"
"A first-order demon can extract one thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity."
"Second-tier demon, 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity."
"And so on..."
Liu Chengen took a deep breath and raised his voice.
"A seventh-tier Demon Lord can probably extract about one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity!"
Lin Mo frowned.
One billion kilowatt-hours?
It sounds like a lot, but it doesn't seem that exaggerated.
A billion degrees—he thought the number a billion was a huge unit like trillions, something he could only understand.
It's like a hard drive; you don't really get a sense of how many gigabytes it contains.
But if you talk about TB, EB, ZB, etc., then it sounds impressive but I don't really understand it.
Seeing his expression, Liu Chengen immediately guessed what he was thinking.
The old academician rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that it only has one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity!"
He stretched out his finger and poked the air hard.
"Are you familiar with the 'Linglong-1' small modular reactor?"
Lin Mo nodded.
Liu Chengen continued:
"The 'Linglong-1' reactor generates only 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to power 526,000 households in Hainan and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 880,000 tons!"
He paused, his gaze intense.
"More importantly—"
"These one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, refined into high-purity energy blocks..."
Liu Chengen spread his arms and gestured.
"Only one person's size!"
Lin Mo blinked.
Size for one person?
So small?
Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, Liu Chengen threw out an even more outrageous number.
"If Daxia Technology were to store these one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity..."
"We need 2.5 vanadium redox flow batteries in Dalian!"
Lin Mo: "???"
Zhao Gang and Long Zhan: "!!!"
The surrounding guards were stunned; one of them whispered in surprise:
"Holy crap, 2.5?"
"That would take up so much space..."
