Chapter 706 - 449: Nuclear Weapon Test
After Wang Ye finished discussing the plan, he left.
Old Yi then quickly convened a meeting within the organization concerning Wang Ye’s unprotected moon mission.
After an entire afternoon of discussions, they finally came to a preliminary conclusion.
Regarding Wang Ye’s request for nuclear weapons and an unprotected moon mission, everyone had different opinions and statements. Some thought Wang Ye’s request was meaningless and could easily damage Earth’s ecological environment. Others believed this could positively impact their development and international standing. Some even suggested sending a few astronauts to assist Wang Ye, facilitating this mission and helping their astronauts gain experience.
Since sending astronauts to explore other planets always involves some risks, Wang Ye, who can freely travel in outer space without protection, could help them avoid most of the risks. Even in the event of an accident, Wang Ye could save them all, as his mobility is far superior to any rocket or spacecraft.
Overall, most people involved in the discussion still held an agreeable attitude. After all, this matter doesn’t seem to negatively affect them.
Even if a nuclear explosion might impact Earth’s ecology, the danger to the entire world would be negligible. The claim about disrupting the Earth-Moon balance is unfounded; although Wang Ye’s power is strong, it is still far from threatening the balance of an entire planet.
Furthermore, they believed Wang Ye would not do something so foolish.
In essence, the reason Wang Ye still live-streams and interacts with viewers, and cooperates with them for mutual benefits, is because he still has social needs. Humans are inherently social creatures, and no matter how much Wang Ye evolves, as long as he’s human at heart, he won’t lack social needs or do anything that causes destruction to his own kind.
Old Yi and others in the organization seized upon this fact, daring to cooperate with someone like Wang Ye, who could destroy them at any moment.
The plot of the American TV series "The Boys" is similar. The most powerful superhuman, Homelander, actually has the ability to kill everyone at any time. If he slaughtered everyone at the start, there wouldn’t have been all those subsequent plot twists. But the main characters capitalized on Homelander’s lack of family and love, his need for respect and recognition, to repeatedly push him to the brink.
Of course, Wang Ye is not a psychopath like Homelander and is much smarter. They can’t manipulate Wang Ye as in the TV series. They need to know that Wang Ye’s observational ability is almost like a Mind Reading Technique now; any small thoughts or schemes in their minds will be seen through by Wang Ye.
So all they can be is sincere.
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
Currently, Wang Ye bears them no ill will, so as long as they maintain complete sincerity, they can achieve a win-win cooperation.

Five days later.
In the experimental site in the wilderness.
A dark-skinned, resolute-faced, short man,
was sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, practicing his Breathing Technique.
His upper body clothes were all removed, revealing muscles as hard as refined steel. As a soon-to-retire soldier, his muscles were already superior to an average person’s.
Now, after four days or so of immersion in the Extraterrestrial Crystal Cluster, combined with Wang Ye’s Breathing Technique, his muscles seemed to have been further purified, becoming even tougher and more powerful.
After two days of training, Yu Yi had successfully channeled the energy within his body throughout his entire body.
Under the refining of high-density energy, his muscle strength had more than tripled that of an average person.
Upon finishing his training, Yu Yi slowly got up and began bodyweight exercises.
He placed both hands on the ground and started doing standard handstand push-ups, his movements steady and unhurried, as if these high-difficulty handstand push-ups were as easy for him as taking a stroll.
After doing dozens of handstand push-ups, he switched to single-arm handstand push-ups, moving from the left arm to the right one.
Only after completing three hundred handstand push-ups in succession did he stand up again, yet his breathing showed no signs of quickening, still steady and powerful.
The researchers, observing Yu Yi’s performance and the physiological data on the screen, couldn’t help but smile with joy.
Under such high-intensity training, Yu Yi’s heart rate showed no significant change, indicating that Yu Yi’s physical limitations have seen a remarkable improvement. If Yu Yi were to undergo a military-standard physical fitness test now, he could probably break multiple records in the army!
Because the room was completely sealed, almost no indigo-colored Qi mist escaped, so the energy decomposed from an entire cluster of crystals was absorbed almost entirely by him, resulting in an enormous amount of energy absorbed in a short time.
Meanwhile, in the ocean, the energy decomposed from the crystals gets infinitely diluted, making it difficult for most marine life to absorb energy; only the Megalodon, having survived in the depths for millions of years, can achieve noticeable evolution.
"It’s truly astounding; Yi Yu’s physical capabilities have nearly doubled, and his height has increased from one meter seventy-three to about one meter eighty, while his weight has grown from one hundred fifty pounds to two hundred pounds—it’s unimaginable that such changes occurred within five days.".
