The energy stone fragments that triggered the internal energy explosion have completely lost their original energy storage properties.

Even if it is diffused in the fruit forest where the sunlight is shining, it still maintains the energy-depleted amber color.

This feeling.

It looks like a small piece of brown explosion-proof glass that has been hit with external force to create dense lines on the surface.

Lu Kuan looked at the dazzling sunlight for a while, feeling increasingly shocked.

Energy stone actually also ages?

If there are no mistakes in the current on-site exploration, then the reason why the energy stone exploded was because of the cracks caused by internal aging.

The external electric wolf machine is like a pressure cooker, suppressing the energy and venting it outward.

As the suppression time increases, the internal pressure reaches a critical point.

Catalyzed by external conditions, the armored vehicle's attack broke the pressure cooker, and an explosion immediately occurred inside.

But this was completely beyond everyone's previous understanding of the disaster.

Or is it that humans simply don’t know enough about metals?

The essence of the energy stone is actually a metal, rather than a collection of elements composed of a special element?

Realizing this problem, Lu Kuan quickly returned to the edge of the explosion crater, opened the box he carried with him, and used instruments to detect it.

The first is conductivity.

The biggest characteristic of metal is that it has low resistance, smooth internal current flow, and strong conductivity.

In various previous tests, the energy stone was like insulating rubber, and the internal resistance was horribly high.

Therefore, in terms of energy conversion, we can only use thermal energy to drive the engine to do work, and then convert the power to the engine.

Later, although this technology was iterated once, the Electric Wolf engine that directly utilizes thermal energy was developed.

But there is still a huge loss in efficiency.

Now, try to pass electric current through this fragment full of lines, and the palm-sized instrument gives accurate data.

66×10/(meter ohms)

Not only is it higher than copper's 57, it's even higher than sterling silver's 63!

"After the explosion, the energy stone can actually conduct electricity directly?"

"What the hell happened?"

The elemental properties of an object suddenly changed completely, and Lu Kuan was a little confused.

According to the current conductivity, there is absolutely no problem with this fragmented metal.

But why is this happening?

Countless questions were brewing in Lu Kuan's mind.

Several subsequent tests were indeed not unexpected, and a large amount of data showed that the properties of the energy stone had indeed changed.

This feeling is like the mysterious psionic water, and one can never directly observe what the mysterious power inside is.

At this time, Su Deben came all the way from outside the orchard and saw Lu Kuan sitting on the ground in a daze.

"What's wrong? Is there any new research progress?"

The sudden sound from the shadow startled Lu Kuan and he almost took out his gun.

If you look closely, you will see a familiar big face approaching.

"Yes, but this discovery makes people even more confused about where to start."

Lu Kuan took out the fragments from the instrument and said with a speechless expression.

"How should I put it? The fragment in my hand now and the energy stone before can be said to be two different substances."

"Two substances?"

Su Deben's expression was a little strange.

"I thought something was wrong. It's normal for explosions to cause material fusion. Have you forgotten that this is how it is shown in movies?"

"It's not the fusion of matter, it's two kinds of matter, two kinds of matter that are different in nature and origin!"

Lu Kuan shook his head repeatedly.

Even if the probability of material fusion in an explosion is low, it is indeed possible if the time, place and people are right.

But an object is smelted from it that is different in terms of molecular structure and physical properties.

Do you think this is the Big Bang?

If it were that easy to discover a new substance, those scientists wouldn't choose to sit in the laboratory.

Just pull all kinds of materials into the wilderness and blast them continuously, and that's it.

"So is it stronger or weaker?"

Principle Su Deben's scalp felt a little numb after hearing this, and he quickly interrupted Lu Kuan's explanation and asked.

"It's not clear yet, but what is certain is that this new substance has lost its original properties."

"Now it can no longer absorb heat to store energy and supply energy."

What kind of bonus does the mysterious pattern bring to the energy stone?

What new abilities does this new substance have?

Just as Lu Kuan promised when he came, the current discovery can definitely be regarded as a major discovery.

As for what it was, after looking at the direction of the territory, he suddenly said:

"I want to go back, and I want to go back now."

"Go back to find the lord?"

"Yes, this discovery is really surprising. I must go back and study it as soon as possible."

Lu Kuan seriously suspected that all he had discovered now was just that he had not found the correct way to open it.

The collected fragments, both in terms of shape and characteristics, especially the cracks, are not like the results of ordinary explosions.

The previous energy stone was discovered by Somo first. Now that this new substance is uncertain, it is definitely right to go back and study it together.

"Okay, I will send someone to protect you when you go back."

Su Deben nodded, realizing the importance of this matter.

Soon, two personnel carriers were detached, and 24 soldiers served as the returning defense force.

Just in case, Su Deben found Wang Qian who was directing the construction of the Allied camp.

"Borrow a tank?"

Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then agreed without thinking.

With his relationship with Liu Lu, his attitude towards Tianyuan Shelter is obviously much closer than that of others.

In addition, during this tiger hunting trip, he was asked to bring out the tank, which was originally intended for display.

If we don't seize the time to display it now, and if it ages more seriously, this tank will be no different from an immovable iron lump.

Furthermore

"Boss, we promise to complete the mission!"

"I am ready and can definitely protect our allies and return to the shelter smoothly!"

"We will come back to the bunker tomorrow to provide support, please be assured."

"Yes, we are definitely not coveting the delicious food there. As you know, the journey here is quite long and very dangerous at night!"

The four tank soldiers had issued military orders with excited faces.

Compared to staying here, it would obviously be more enjoyable to go to Tianyuan Shelter.

Although they haven't tasted the delicacies there yet, the people who came back already had calluses on their ears just from hearing about it.

"Pay attention to safety, it's quite dangerous outside now."

Wang Qian murmured, and the mouth-watering delicious food also appeared in his mind.

But there is no way. He is the captain of the entire camp and must stay in the bunker and take charge of it.

"Don't worry, captain, as long as the Sunny Harbor Sanctuary doesn't take action, the people around here who can threaten us haven't been born yet!"

Promised again, the four tank soldiers left happily.

After a while, first two personnel carriers drove out, and then a tank sped away.

Calculated based on the distance traveled, it takes five and a half hours to get from the bunker to Hope Village.

It's early noon now, so it's enough to arrive before dark!

After the sunny day, the wasteland ushered in the long-lost warmth.

After several days of direct sunlight exposure.
