"More than ten tons of graphite ore and... diamond?"

Old Yi was momentarily stunned.

The first part of Wang Ye’s sentence about needing a venue and ample materials for energy research was something Old Yi could barely comprehend.

After all, Wang Ye indeed exhibited an abyss-like energy within him during the physical examination seven days ago and the recent combat exercise.

If Wang Ye hadn’t mastered some energy technology that they were unaware of, Old Yi wouldn’t believe it.

Moreover, Wang Ye was willing to conduct energy technology research here,

meaning the military could share the research results,

which was undoubtedly a great advantage for them.

However, the latter part about needing more than ten tons of graphite ore and diamonds left him baffled.

Are these things closely related to human evolution or energy?

The so-called graphite ore is actually one of the crystalline minerals of the carbon element, primarily containing carbon atoms,

From this perspective, it’s not much different from coal in daily life. The former is just purer, while the latter contains more impurities.

As most people know, the primary use of graphite ore is also in industrial fields, for manufacturing batteries or cast iron.

But Wang Ye immediately requested more than ten tons of graphite ore, what does he intend to do with it?

However, Old Yi didn’t delve into the matter,

He pondered for a long time and said, "No problem, the things you need will be gradually provided in these three days. As for the selection and organization of Titan Company’s members, due to the large number of people involved, it may not be completed quickly and might require a few months’ wait."

"Thank you." Wang Ye nodded.

Old Yi shook his head and smiled, "You’re welcome. Your willingness to cooperate with us is the biggest help for us."

The two continued to discuss the details of the previous combat exercise before bidding farewell and parting ways.

Wang Ye returned straight to the dormitory,

As soon as he closed the dormitory door, his complexion turned rapidly from pale to dark.

And the area around his ear began to spread with threads of pitch-black lines.

It looked very eerie and terrifying.

Moreover, his lips suddenly turned purple-black as if he were poisoned.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began introspecting his physical condition.

Meanwhile, in his palm, a puddle of pitch-black liquid was continuously gathering, gradually dripping onto the ground.

In the recent combat exercise, he wasn’t entirely without aftereffects,

But with Old Yi present, he couldn’t show it.

His aftereffect wasn’t external injuries or fractures.

It was the toxicity accumulation brought by the excessive short-term ingestion of uranium elements.

Uranium elements themselves carry not only radioactivity but also exceptionally strong acute toxicity. The acute toxicity of uranium elements comes from its chemical toxicity, with kidneys being the target organ. Severe cases can lead to renal failure and death in experimental animals. It can also cause varying degrees of liver necrosis, degeneration, and suppression of bone marrow hematopoietic function.

For ordinary people, 20 milligrams of uranium element is already lethal, directly causing organ failure. But it’s impossible for ordinary people to completely digest the toxin of 20 milligrams of uranium element. Most of it may be expelled during intestinal movements, with only a small portion being absorbed by the body, and just this small portion can cause organ necrosis or even death.

But Wang Ye is different from ordinary people; he can digest as much uranium element as he ingests, completely absorbing the chemical toxicity contained within. Though his metabolism surpasses a hundred times that of an average person, allowing nearly any natural toxin to be metabolized, including venom from poisonous mushrooms and toxin secreted by poisonous creatures. Yet the toxin embedded in the five grams of uranium element he ingested was exceedingly massive. Despite his extraordinarily robust physique, abnormal symptoms began to appear.

Luckily, he only ingested five grams, not enough to be lethal. He just needs to gradually expel these toxins from his body.

Wang Ye practiced Creation Skill while expelling the toxins from his body,

These toxins mixed with his sweat, forming pitch-black liquid with some corrosiveness, which sizzled upon contact with the ground, creating a small pit. It shows how deadly the toxin is; if ordinary people ingested it, their kidneys would likely fail and darken, leading to a painful death.

····························

····························

About half a day passed.

His face gradually returned to a rosy and fair complexion.

The pitch-black lines spreading from his earlobes also faded away.

This signaled that the biochemical toxins accumulated in his body were nearly expelled.

Wang Ye slowly opened his eyes, showing a hint of fatigue.

"It seems that this forced ingestion of uranium elements must be used sparingly; otherwise, it causes too much harm to the body. Research on controllable nuclear fusion is needed promptly." If he could develop controllable nuclear fusion, he wouldn’t need to rely on element ingestion for energy, but directly absorb the massive energy dispersed during the nuclear fusion process.

Though this method of ingesting uranium elements isn’t entirely unusable, it should only be used in emergencies.

Now, merely ingesting five grams of uranium element and battling fully for half an hour,

already required half a day’s time to expel the toxins from his body.
