Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

But most are still extremely violent and bloodthirsty,

This made Wang Ye begin to doubt himself,

Could his true nature really be that of a bloodthirsty person?

Otherwise, why would every clone he cultivated be so vicious?

As for the initial 200-gram crystal cluster fragment he selected, after being soaked in liquid for two days, it was only decomposed by about 0.1 grams in weight.

This shows how durable it is.

At this rate of consumption, if he continues to soak the fragment without rest for a whole year, he might not even finish consuming it.

Wang Ye plans to take a break and ponder the secrets of this crystal cluster,

While also researching the Megalodon muscle and skeletal tissues he brought.

Compared to the elusive Phoenix Plan, what he currently values most is the high elasticity muscle fibers.

After all, those are tangible things.

And they could greatly enhance his strength in the short term.

Wang Ye placed the Megalodon muscle fibers he brought on a sterilized surface.

Several days after being detached from the body, the Megalodon muscle fibers still hadn’t visibly decayed or shrunk; they remained intact, occasionally twitching due to nervous reflex.

This bizarre activity surprised Wang Ye; even though he had evolved for such a long time, his flesh would show signs of decay within a day after separation, whereas the Megalodon’s flesh maintained this activity three days after detachment.

Wang Ye placed a bundle of muscle fibers under the microscope, intending to use the most advanced microscope of the day to observe these highly elastic muscle fibers, to see if he could discern their special traits.

Yet no matter how much he magnified with the microscope, he couldn’t see anything special; these muscle fibers appeared almost identical to those of ordinary organisms on the surface.

This left Wang Ye a bit dejected. Could he really only watch these high-elasticity muscle fibers exist on a Megalodon without being able to use them?

To know that ordinary human muscle fibers have a contraction force of about 0.981 milli-newtons, Wang Ye post-evolution reached 5 milli-newtons, while Megalodon muscle fibers reached as high as 250 milli-newtons. Their elasticity modulus is three times that of steel, yet maintaining the flexibility and lightness of biological tissue, these contradictory traits suggest their material basis exceeds the scope of common organic compounds on Earth.

After contemplating for a moment, Wang Ye murmured to himself: "No, it must be that the microscope’s magnification isn’t large enough. As long as the magnification is increased to the molecular level, surely something will be revealed."

Yet how difficult it is to see the molecular level?

A molecule is a cluster of atoms grouped together. Molecules form almost everything around humans — skin, chairs, even food.

Molecules come in different sizes, but are incredibly small. Humans can’t see an individual molecule even with a microscope. Common molecules are ten thousand times narrower than a strand of hair.

The smallest molecule consists of two atoms bonded together, but a big molecule can consist of 100,000 or more atoms. A molecule can be made up of the same atoms accumulated together, like the oxygen molecules we breathe daily, or be composed of different types of atoms, like sugar molecules formed from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

But humans have invented several methods to detect molecules, such as the atomic force microscope.

When two atoms approach each other, the way electrons move changes, causing the atomic nuclei to change their motion.

A technique called "nuclear magnetic resonance" can detect these changes in atomic centers, using them as clues to identify atoms nearby.

The atomic force microscope is like a fragile diving board. When you walk or jump on it, it shakes.

However, this diving board is so small that a negative charge at its end bends toward the positive center of an atom.

By moving this diving board and observing how it bends, one can reveal atom positions within a molecule.

Another technique for observing molecules is called cryo-electron microscopy.

This microscope’s principle is to first freeze the molecules to extremely low temperatures.

Then fire electrons at the molecules and collect the ones passing through to form an image.

But Wang Ye doesn’t have any of these microscopes now, which means he must manufacture a microscope himself, or rely on his own eyes to observe the molecules.

In fact, Wang Ye initially developed Microscopic Focus capability within a month of starting his evolution,

Except back then, his eyes could only focus to see mites or other microscopic entities.

Which is about equivalent to a tenfold microscope magnification.

Tenfold is enough to roughly observe cellular structures, while fortyfold allows detailed viewing of cell internal organelles.

Reaching one hundred-fold or even two hundred-fold enters the realm of high-level scientific research.

Two hundred-fold is the maximum magnification of the microscope he currently holds.

And at two hundred-fold magnification, one cannot see molecular-level forms.

What magnification is indeed necessary to see the special traits of these muscle fibers?

Wang Ye does not know.

He can only first use his eyes to attempt testing the limit of his Microscopic Focus magnification.

In reality,

Wang Ye hasn’t tested the limits of his physical abilities for quite a while.

Ever since discovering that the rate of his evolution was unpredictable, he’s been too lazy to test various physical abilities.

After all, the types of physical abilities are vast, far exceeding tens of thousands when scrutinized closely.

If he had to test them all every day, it would indeed be quite troublesome.

Therefore.

He currently doesn’t know what the maximum magnification of his eyes’ Microscopic Focus is.

"I hope it’s at least a thousand-fold."

Wang Ye placed his gaze on the muscle fibers under the glass,

Immediately, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Activating Microscopic Focus.

In an instant, the usual scene rapidly magnified in his eyes.

Ten-fold...

Hundred-fold...

Thousand-fold...

Finally, it even broke through ten-thousand-fold!

After evolving, Wang Ye can actively adjust his pupils to directly alter the eye structure, greatly increasing the imaging magnification on the retina.

This capability resembles dynamically adjusting a "biological lens," allowing him to achieve thousand-fold or even ten-thousand-fold magnification effects without relying on external equipment.

But realistically, a thousand-fold microscope still falls within sensible limits, while ten-thousand-fold microscope seems a bit unreasonable,

Know that the resolution limit of optical microscopes is only 0.2 micrometers, equivalent to a magnification between 1,500 and 2,000 times, never surpassing to ten-thousand-fold.

This limitation exists because optical microscopes are restricted by wavelength, incapable of indefinite magnification. The resolution limit for a fixed wavelength optical microscope is half the wavelength of light, and visible light ranges from 400 to 760nm,

Hence the resolution limit of optical microscopes is 200nm, or 0.2 micrometers.

Objects smaller than 0.2 micrometers cannot be discerned by optical microscopes,

just like the tactile resolution of human hands cannot exceed the small distance between tactile cells.

To achieve greater magnification, electron microscopes or tunnel scanning microscopes must be used. According to the wave-particle duality principle, electron beams have shorter de Broglie wavelengths, enabling higher resolution.

The electron beam’s accelerating voltage corresponds to its own wavelength, when the voltage is at 100 kilovolts, the electron beam wavelength is approximately 0.004nm, but actual resolution only reaches 0.2nm, though still far smaller than visible light’s wavelength,

Thus electron microscopes’ resolution limit far exceeds optical microscopes’, capable of achieving 3 million magnification, allowing observation of viruses, mitochondria, DNA, and other minute objects.

Yet even DNA is significantly larger than molecules, so electron microscopes still can’t visualize the detailed molecular form, only capturing the external shape of molecules, such as their contour and surface structures. Cannot directly display the internal configuration or composition of molecules; intricate details within molecules, such as atomic arrangement or chemical bonds, require higher precision technologies to decipher.

But Wang Ye’s eyes are clearly using optics to see things, how could it break through the wavelength limit of optics, achieving magnification above ten-thousand-fold micro vision? In fact, this is the utilization of Primordial Qi, which can also interfere with the microscopic structure of observed objects through an energy field, enhancing resolution and imaging clarity, thereby breaking the physical limits of conventional optical microscopes, such as wavelength restrictions.
