Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 408: Chapter 356: ”Interstellar Video Call

Lu Li opened his eyes and noticed that everything around him was metal and silicates.

Thousands of kilometers away, these metals and silicates seemed to have suffered a huge impact, and the material was annihilated and disappeared.

Upon closer inspection, one might find that the annihilation and dispersion of matter do not seem to be related to any immense impact, but rather as if absorbed by something.

A stream of unnamed ”pungent odor” presented itself in Lu Li’s mind, yet it did not affect his nose in the slightest.

It was as if this ”pungent odor” was just a piece of data, not something that actually entered his nose.

Lu Li knew that, in fact, he was smelling it, and it wasn’t data.

He was not only sensing the ”data” of the smell but also could perceive the ”data” of the composition of all substances around him.

For example, the atmospheric composition of Mercury, which he could easily analyze as being composed of nitrogen, vaporized sodium, oxygen, and trace elements.

The proportions of these components were completely and faultlessly presented in his mind.

Nitrogen and vaporized sodium both accounted for forty-two percent, oxygen fifteen percent, and other trace elements one percent.

The temperature around him, too, was like data, instantly embedding itself into his mind.

Lu Li softly stated the temperature, ”It is currently daytime on Mercury, with the temperature reaching four hundred and twenty degrees Celsius, while on the other side, nighttime has a temperature of minus one hundred and seventy degrees Celsius.”

Previously, he could only discern the material composition through judgment and analysis, but now he could see it all at a glance.

In some sense, Lu Li knew he had become a god who could understand the ”properties” of all things, much like the Daoist concept of following nature.

The diameter of Mercury was four thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight kilometers.

Before the fifth deep evolution, lying on the surface, Lu Li could by no means survey the entire planet.

After all, back then, the range of his domain coverage was only about two hundred and sixty-five kilometers in radius.

Even accounting for subsequent growth, it did not exceed three hundred and twenty kilometers.

Thus, the diameter was six hundred and forty kilometers.

This coverage diameter was vastly different from Mercury’s four thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight kilometers.

However, at this moment, even without activating his domain or Biological Force Field, Lu Li could sense his coverage radius reaching an astonishing three hundred twenty-seven thousand six hundred and eighty kilometers.

This meant a coverage diameter of six hundred fifty-five thousand three hundred sixty kilometers.

To know, Earth’s diameter is only twelve thousand seven hundred and forty-two kilometers.

Even Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a diameter of only one hundred forty-two thousand nine hundred eighty-seven kilometers.

In fact, even the Sun’s diameter is only about one million three hundred ninety-two thousand kilometers.

Lu Li’s current perceptual coverage diameter is almost half the size of the Sun.

”Why is my perceptual range so vast?”

He lay deep within the planet, not in a hurry to get up, puzzled at heart.

After contemplating for a moment, Lu Li roughly understood the situation.

Actually, the expansion of perception didn’t just complete with this deep evolution.

Accurately speaking, it had been expanding continuously since the fifth deep evolution began.

It was only that he was rushing at that time, without performing any tests.

Once his body reached fifty percent energy transformation, every one percent increase in energy transformation enhanced himself a bit more than before.

Now, with the completion of the fifth deep evolution, his body’s energy transformation percentage has increased from fifty to sixty percent.

The fifty to fifty-five percent was during conscious evolution.

The other five percent increased after he fell asleep.

Due to the lack of testing during the fourth deep evolution perception threshold,

Lu Li could only estimate it to be approximately a radius of three hundred twenty kilometers.

Now his strength had increased by a factor of two to the tenth power, isn’t this a perception radius of three hundred twenty-seven thousand six hundred eighty kilometers?

”Does this mean that completing the fifth deep evolution increased my strength by one thousand and twenty-four times?”

Lu Li felt astonished, ”In the past, whenever I completed a deep evolution, the enhancement ratio was at most one or two times. Why has it increased so much this time?”

What puzzled him most was that he had merely absorbed light and thermal energy for a few hours near the Sun.

Logically, it shouldn’t enhance a thousand and twenty-four times as much.

Because one must abide by the law of energy conservation.

How could absorbing a few hours of terrifying light and heat result in such a significant increase?

Suddenly, Lu Li noticed that everything within thousands of kilometers of the surface had been annihilated and vanished.

He couldn’t help but have a bold conjecture, ”Could it be that while I was asleep, all matter within thousands of kilometers of the surface was annihilated and absorbed for energy?”

If this were indeed the case, then it would explain his one thousand and twenty-four times enhancement.

As is well known, the energy released by matter annihilation is incomparably vast.

For example, the collision and annihilation of one gram of antimatter and one gram of matter produce energy equivalent to a forty-two point eight-kiloton nuclear explosion.

Although Lu Li’s formerly condensed ”volcanic ash rock” subatomic particles also underwent annihilation, it wasn’t complete, so the energy released was nowhere near the energy released by the collision and annihilation of antimatter and matter.

And regarding his use of the domain’s ”annihilation skill,” it wasn’t true annihilation but decomposition into particles, which didn’t release much energy.

The main reason was that Lu Li’s ”annihilation of matter,” or decomposing matter, was more like separating a pair of chopsticks, completely different from the annihilation of antimatter colliding with matter.
