If it were in the hands of a capitalist, they’d be grinning from ear to ear.

But Wang Ye has a sense of awareness about his own situation.

Currently, he only appears perfect, yet there are still some flaws present.

The most urgent flaw to resolve at the moment is that once he leaves the stellar irradiation area, he will lose his energy supply. Although dim light can also provide energy, the supply speed remains too slow.

However, solving this issue isn’t simple. Because absorbing stellar light energy is already the most convenient and rapid method of obtaining energy on Earth using natural means that Wang Ye’s current cognitive abilities can think of.

If he wants to further enhance his survival ability, then there should be two evolutionary paths.

First, he could enhance his gastrointestinal tract, allowing it to digest anything, even stones, air, microorganisms. When he’s low on energy, he could replenish it by consuming Earth.

But this evolutionary path requires some time to complete. Given Wang Ye’s current evolutionary speed, it might take more than a year to truly digest stones.

Moreover, the efficiency of devouring stones is very slow, putting aside whether stones are tasty or chewable, there’s also the question of whether stones of such low density on Earth can provide him with enough energy.

So this idea has to be put aside for now.

The second is to create a device inside the body to release energy. A self-sustaining system that balances intake and expenditure internally.

It is known that energy is a very important commodity in today’s society. Technology and energy are closely linked, and breakthroughs in technology can bring revolutionary changes in energy. At the same time, the development of technology also requires the support of energy. Without energy, technology would halt, and even humans cannot survive.

Since the dawn of civilization, humans have learned to use energy to facilitate life, like using firewood to start fires. Later, as technology advanced, humans learned to use coal for electricity, oil for propulsion, but the problem is that these are non-renewable energy sources, meaning they will eventually run out.

Hence, humans began researching nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion, also known as nuclear merging, fusion reaction, or thermonuclear reaction, is a nuclear reaction where two lighter nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus and a very light nucleus (or particle).

Lighter atoms, mainly deuterium, under certain conditions (such as extreme high temperature and pressure), can have their electrons freed from the nucleus, allowing the nuclei to attract and collide with each other, causing nuclear fusion to form a new, heavier atomic nucleus (such as helium). Neutrons, despite having a larger mass, can also escape the nuclear binding in this collision and release a massive amount of energy.

Nowadays, humans can achieve uncontrolled nuclear fusion, namely the explosion of a hydrogen bomb.

However, controlled nuclear fusion is what scientists are currently working towards.

Once controlled nuclear fusion is mastered, humans will have essentially an unlimited energy source.

Those theoretical concepts might sound a bit hard to grasp.

For example, there are countless fixed stars in the cosmos, most of them release temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees or more, and these stars are controlled nuclear fusion reactors. They convert the abundant hydrogen element in the cosmos into heavier elements, releasing the energy to support life.

That is to say, the stellar energy Wang Ye is currently absorbing comes from controlled nuclear fusion.

And when he is out of the star’s light, he is, in essence, cut off from the power supply of controlled nuclear fusion.

It’s undeniably troublesome to be "living under someone else’s roof" like this.

In that case, can he create a controlled nuclear fusion within himself?

This hypothesis does sound a bit far-fetched, but upon closer inspection, it holds some feasibility.

In principle, controlled nuclear fusion is entirely feasible, but the environment and container required are very demanding, which is why it hasn’t been achieved yet. Nuclear fusion reactions need to reach extreme high temperatures, usually over a million degrees Celsius. Under these conditions, traditional container materials would melt, making it impossible to use conventional containers to hold the reactants. However, Wang Ye’s Vajra Indestructible Body is a natural container. Although his physical body cannot currently withstand million-degree temperatures, it should eventually be possible.

Of course, this still requires a lot of experiments as groundwork, with a minimum time cost of a year or two. After all, all the scientists on Earth haven’t yet achieved controlled nuclear fusion. Wang Ye, with only high school-level science knowledge, would find it challenging to self-study and conduct independent research on the subject.

However, Wang Ye’s advantage is not insignificant. After half a year of evolution, his brain has been developed to a terrifying extent, his IQ already surpassing that of humanity’s pinnacle. One could say that past geniuses like Einstein, Gauss, and others would have to concede defeat before Wang Ye.

Yet Wang Ye has scarcely used his supreme intelligence. Therefore, many have not discovered the extent of his terrifying IQ. Just as Wang Ye repeatedly broke sports records, once he turns his attention to academic science, he will soon create a breakthrough in the scientific field on Earth, and the stalled science and technology will, under Wang Ye’s leadership, break through bottlenecks.

Wang Ye plans to practice his hypothesis after returning home to build a laboratory. Absorbing stellar energy, in the end, is not a long-term plan. He needs to find an alternative quickly.

After all, absorbing stellar energy,

will experience time delays and limitations in absorption capacity.

Being restricted in various aspects directly leads to limits on his evolution.

According to adaptive evolution theory, the environment has a great impact on evolution.

Simply put, if the current environmental resources can only support roughly a hundred-pound organism, then that organism absolutely cannot evolve to become two hundred pounds.

The main reason for Wang Ye’s slow evolutionary speed is the insufficient external energy.

And if he creates a controlled nuclear fusion within himself,

it would be akin to having an inexhaustible energy source,

his evolution speed would no longer be restrained, evolving at several times the current speed.

By then, his physical enhancement should also significantly accelerate.

Thinking of this,

Wang Ye lifted his head, only to see a bright moon outside the window. Since his rest period lasts only about ten minutes, it’s still around 11 PM. This feeling of passing a full twenty-four-hour day sometimes does feel somewhat tedious.

The constant training had also started to feel monotonous,

and occasionally, one needs some unhealthy hobbies to lubricate daily life.

Wang Ye lay back on the headboard, watched some videos,

and downloaded a few popular games currently.

Given his now superior finger dexterity and awareness,

whatever game he played felt like bullying beginners.

His win rate stayed at one hundred percent.

After playing for a few hours, he had already ascended to the highest rank in the game.

This particular game almost lost all its fun to him.

After uninstalling the game, Wang Ye couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

It seems that ever since his evolution, his previous unhealthy hobbies gradually lost their entertainment value.

For example, gaming, drinking, smoking, sexual desire, etc... These were once his enticing unhealthy hobbies, but now none of them attracted him anymore.

Especially sexual desire,

the disappearance of other unhealthy hobbies might be explained by elevated state of mind.

But sexual desire is one of the biological instincts, how could it vanish?

No matter how organisms evolve, they can’t abandon the ability to reproduce. In fact, generally speaking, the higher the evolutionary level, the stronger the reliance on sexual desire.

But nowadays, women in Wang Ye’s eyes are like ordinary female animals, hardly stimulating his sexual desire. Although he doesn’t lack sexual desire completely, this faint desire doesn’t generate strong urges, and reason easily overrides desire.
