This is also why Wang Ye can sense the DNA sequence inside the clone without technological equipment,

The precision of Primordial Qi,

Is far higher than the limit imposed by the wavelength of visible light.

It can compensate for his naked eye’s shortcomings.

Directly elevate the limits of his microscopic focus and resolution.

Even reach the realm of thousands of times.

Moreover, the range of the visible spectrum Wang Ye can now see is no longer at the level of ordinary humans,

Besides Wang Ye, there are actually many creatures in the natural world whose visible spectrum range is far superior to that of humans.

For example, the mantis shrimp in the ocean, a creature capable of throwing punches that can penetrate rocks. They’re actually strongest not in physical combat, but in color vision; they have up to 16 different types of cone cells, more than any other animal, meaning their view of the world consists of sixteen fundamental colors, a vibrant world far more colorful than the trichromatic vision of humans, allowing them to see what humans cannot, offering great advantages in adaptation and survival.

Wang Ye’s visible spectrum range has long surpassed any creature on Earth, including the mantis shrimp, so he can perceive multidimensional information, even overcoming the wavelength limit of optical microscopes, achieving greater microscopic limits. But visible light ultimately has an upper limit, so to truly reach the molecular level, it still relies on Primordial Qi’s interference with microscopic substances.

Thus, Primordial Qi constitutes Wang Ye’s fundamental sensory ability at present, and his super senses, including smell, hearing, and touch, are elevated by Primordial Qi. Otherwise, it’s impossible for the tactile cells of organisms to perceive subtle airflow fluctuations dozens of kilometers away.

At this moment, despite amplifying the microscopic magnification to ten thousand times, Wang Ye still couldn’t see the inner structure of this muscle fiber clearly.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious, wondering if with his current capabilities he still couldn’t uncover the secrets within the Megalodon?

He tried to enhance his perception precision of Primordial Qi as much as possible, but the magnification remained hovering around ten thousand,

Finally, after a minute, Wang Ye felt his eye muscles ache due to prolonged intense contraction and thus gave up adjusting the microscopic magnification further.

Wang Ye touched his chin, pondering, "Besides microscopic focus, is there any way to uncover the secrets within these muscle fibers?"

The first thing he thought of was the crystal cluster fragments he brought along.

The Megalodon’s mutation can be traced back to these extraterrestrial crystal clusters.

Perhaps placing the Megalodon’s muscle fiber tissue into a liquid that reacts chemically with the crystal cluster fragments might produce surprising effects?

He took immediate action, placing the two-hundred-gram crystal cluster fragment previously used for the cloning experiment into a container filled with purified water.

Instantly, like dry ice in water, the purified water began to boil violently, with innumerable high concentrations of indigo mist forming bubbles and bursting in the air.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye continued to activate the ten-thousand-fold microscopic focus, carefully observing the muscle fibers in the container.

After observing for about a dozen seconds, Wang Ye’s face lit up with joy, "Indeed useful!"

Based on his observation, the chemical reaction between the crystal cluster and the liquid can stimulate the activity of the muscle fiber samples, making the energy fluctuations between molecules more prominent, facilitating Primordial Qi in perceiving and capturing details, increasing resolution tenfold at least! It’s akin to suddenly switching from a 1k display to a 4k one; the entire image becomes rejuvenated, with many previously blurry pixels becoming extraordinarily finely detailed.

This means that now, even at ten thousand times microscopic focus, he can clearly see the structural details between molecules.

Upon discovering this, Wang Ye immediately began observing the internal structure of the muscle fibers,

Although he could barely observe the molecular-level structures with the help of the crystal cluster fragments, they remained somewhat blurry. He must concentrate and observe carefully to discern any clues.

He continued observing the Megalodon’s muscle fiber tissue while taking out his own muscle fiber for comparative observations, as he couldn’t possibly remember all the characteristics of his own body,

Comparative observation was necessary to identify the differences between them.

Moreover, due to the substantial harm caused to the eyes by the ten-thousand-fold microscopic focus,

He had to pause and rest for a while every minute to continue using the microscopic focus.

After approximately half an hour of comparative observation, Wang Ye finally discovered the abnormal structures and components in the Megalodon’s highly elastic muscle fibers.

Firstly, there’s the special optimization of the molecular structure,

The Megalodon’s muscle fibers contain unknown elastic proteins and super-dense collagen fiber arrangements.

Their microscopic structure resembles "carbon nanotube springs," capable of compressing under extreme pressure, like 1100 atmospheres, storing energy, and releasing explosive force to achieve subsonic swimming.

Although a single carbon nanotube spring can only release a negligible amount of energy, the sheer quantity triggers qualitative change; a single muscle fiber composed of countless molecules naturally can unleash a force even Wang Ye fears.

Structurally, it’s vastly superior to Wang Ye’s current primitive muscle fibers, unknown by how many dimensions. Though still composed of protein muscle fibers, the energy storage and release limits are fifty times higher than Wang Ye’s!

Additionally, Wang Ye discovered that the Megalodon possesses a unique energy metabolism system, evolving an anaerobic metabolic system akin to photosynthesis by absorbing Primordial Qi released from the crystal cluster.
