Chapter 680 - 436: Global Megalodon Fishing
Wang Ye made an estimation.
The Star Simulator device in front of him needed to be reduced by at least a hundred times.
Only then could it be possibly installed in his body in the form of an organ.
If it couldn’t be miniaturized, such a large device would be impossible for him to carry around.
He had to increase the rotational frequency as much as possible,
increase the plasma density,
maintain energy supply efficiency at a high level,
and still manage to shrink the size of the nuclear fusion device.
Achieving all these would be rather difficult.
But it wasn’t entirely impossible either because the precision Wang Ye could control with Primordial Qi was quite frightening; things humans couldn’t achieve, he could.
But aside from the size, there was another problem.
That problem was confinement time.
His current confinement time, although already reaching twelve hours, surpassing the peak of contemporary human technology by several dozens of times,
was ultimately limited because, due to prolonged use, the plasma density wasn’t sufficient, the temperature wasn’t high enough, and the magnetic confinement gradually weakened.
This meant that every twelve hours, he still needed to reignite the nuclear fusion, a process that was quite troublesome, taking several minutes.
"Needing to eat once every twelve hours, am I evolving to the end only to return to the starting point..." Wang Ye thought helplessly.
Yet he didn’t feel too much of an aversion in his heart.
After all, reigniting every twelve hours wasn’t too much of a problem.
Over the past twenty years, he had survived on three meals a day.
So what’s the difficulty in igniting twice a day now?
While Wang Ye was contemplating,
Suddenly, a hypothesis popped into his mind.
Why must he install it within himself in the form of a Star Simulator device?
He needed to know that the system’s daily automatic evolution could evolve the body by accelerating time, compensating for bodily flaws.
Wang Ye’s carbon acetylene skeleton and carbon nanotube spring molecular structure muscle fibers evolved this way.
Although these substances were by no means inherent in biological entities,
as long as Wang Ye inserted these substances into his body during the system’s automatic evolution time, he could trigger the system’s automatic adaptation function.
Thereafter, it would convert foreign substances into his body tissues.
Therefore, he could fully utilize system evolution to integrate this foreign device completely with himself, even embedding it into his genes.
In this way, not only would he not need to ignite himself, but many of the shortcomings of the Star Simulator device’s nuclear fusion could also be automatically improved by the system.
With this thought,
Wang Ye immediately started researching the Star Simulator nuclear fusion device in front of him.
First, he disassembled the device, allowing the raw materials to revert to a silver fluid.
He then employed the micro-adjustments of the Primordial Qi Field, extracting a portion of the fluid, and reassembling it into a small nuclear fusion device.
Focusing his mind, he carefully micro-adjusted with the Primordial Qi Field for half an hour, managing to roughly condense a small operational Star Simulator nuclear fusion device.
Afterward, he input deuterium-tritium fuel, igniting it directly, and the Star Simulator interior began rotating at high speed, quickly releasing heat again.
This reassembled device was about the size of two fists—just right to fit into his abdomen, replacing the liver.
In prior prolonged evolution, Wang Ye’s liver organ had already lost its function and been optimized away.
Now, his abdomen only contained two or three major organs and a network of countless blood vessels and muscle fibers, leaving much excess space, so inserting a new organ was no big deal.
But the issue was that this newly created organ needed to align with the body’s metabolic patterns, be harmonious and similar to the body’s other organs, and not violate biological norms.
Regarding this, Wang Ye’s idea was to transform the Star Simulator shell into a biological alloy capable of stem cell differentiation. Placing the implant in the liver region, it would leverage the liver’s regenerative traits to combine with the device, delivering deuterium-tritium fuel directly through the vascular network, while metabolic waste would be excreted through bile.
With this idea, Wang Ye began performing abdominal surgery right on the water’s surface.
He first transformed his left hand into a pitch-black scythe, slicing open his abdomen directly.
And then organized the tissue of the vasculature in his abdomen.
Placing the small Star Simulator nuclear fusion device into his abdomen.
However, he didn’t proceed smoothly with this step because the energy output was simply too large, potentially burning his body without any energy buffering. Thus, it was only suitable for testing now, not for being thoroughly installed into his body to be used as an organ.
The true implantation required the directional reinforcement of compatibility between device and body at 5 a.m. during system evolution, using the system’s automatic evolution to simulate fusion energy supply processes, eventually completing natural evolution adaptation of the micro device within ten minutes, becoming a permanent biological fusion organ.
Moreover, simply stuffing the nuclear fusion device in was not enough; the 100 gigajoule energy output per second could easily cause Wang Ye’s body to be destroyed by overload if not controlled.
Thus, he also needed to use carbon nanotube spring structures with high elasticity muscle fibers as an energy buffer layer, transforming the 100 gigajoule per second energy pulse into a stable output to prevent organ overload and avoid damage to the body.
But the prerequisite for this step was that he had to evolve all the muscle fibers in his body into high elasticity muscle fibers.
So, there was no rush in implanting the nuclear fusion organ just yet.
After a simple test, Wang Ye gave up on continuing with the implantation, re-melting the small nuclear fusion device in front of him, absorbing it as a silver fluid back into his body, and decomposing it into pure carbon atoms again.
