[Energy] and [matter].

Although both of them are things that exist everywhere in the world.

The difficulty of finding them is countless times easier than not finding them.

But even so.

These two will still become the main factors that deeply trouble many lower life forms, and one of the main shackles that strictly restrict the continued progress of many life forms.

It was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking countless living beings with its extreme strength.

More, but not enough.

Yes, but it cannot be used.

…

This is the truest portrayal of [energy] and [matter].

For those who want to move forward.

Various difficulties related to [energy] and [matter] often appear before us like an unbridgeable chasm.

Let alone some mere surface civilization.

Even various interstellar civilizations that can easily achieve superluminal travel across the vast starry sky, ignite stars as easily as lighting a match, and burn the galaxy as easily as children playing, can only scratch their heads when faced with these problems.

after all.

Even those interstellar civilizations that roam the galaxy will face the problem of resource and energy shortages.

Even various civilizations that can create universes and reshape space and time are the same.

If it weren't like this.

They don't actually need to create a universe to serve as their own raw material factory.

The so-called "enough" only means that their needs are not great.

This does not mean that they have so much resources and energy that they have nowhere to use them.

[Energy] and [matter].

For a civilization, it is actually like their food.

It is also the most essential food.

Without them, the destruction of civilization would be imminent.

It could fall into complete decline at any moment and disappear into the long river of history.

and.

All kinds of unrest and wars in the world... almost all negative phenomena are caused by them.

so.

They are a source of both progress and disaster.

Just like Xi Shenlian in his previous life, having oil at home is likely to bring progress and wealth, but it is also likely to bring free American troops...

Among all the hypothetical answers of all living things on how to solve the problem of energy shortage and material shortage, there is one answer that is most well-known to everyone.

That is the [perpetual motion machine]!

Once upon a time, when the earth civilization had not yet walked out of the prison, many people regarded it as some kind of impossible fantasy, believing that the relevant concept was full of extremely unrealistic ideas, making it impossible to be realized.

certainly.

On the contrary, there are also people who think it is very likely to be achieved.

And work hard for it.

It’s just that 99.9999% of them…are too amateurish and can easily turn things into a farce, leading to all kinds of jokes.

For example, if we take two solar-powered flashlights and shine them together, we can achieve perpetual motion of light energy or something like that.

[It can operate permanently without being destroyed by a third party], [It can continuously perform external work]...

These conditions are the most basic factors for a perpetual motion machine.

If it cannot be achieved.

Then the so-called "perpetual motion machine" is meaningless. At most, it is a semi-finished product, which is infinitely far away from the finished product.

These things seemed extremely unrealistic to past Earth civilizations.

There are ways to achieve this in the outside world.

And there are already many successful cases.

in.

The most widely known [perpetual motion machine] in the outside world is the life forms whose strength has reached the [infinite stage].

After breaking through the limitations of common sense.

Their own.

In fact, it is some kind of [perpetual motion machine]!

It is able to generate energy and even other things continuously on its own without relying on external forces even when there is nothing around and no supplies, thus easily supporting countless life forms.

You can even continuously strengthen yourself through automatically generated energy!

and.

This kind of enhancement usually has no restrictions, allowing them to become stronger without limit, allowing them to automatically generate more and more energy every moment, making things like an unlimited snowball...

This situation is the actual origin of the name [Infinite Stage], which means that this is a level that can become infinitely stronger.

Especially after they learn the conversion between [energy] and [matter], the infinite energy can also allow them to create infinite things in the void and easily produce countless substances with their own power, including those substances that seem extremely precious.

As long as those substances are formed based on basic particles.

So.

After learning the conversion between [energy] and [matter], no matter how precious the matter is, it will not be a big problem for the [infinite stage].

As long as you are willing to spend the time and keep investing the energy.

Then sooner or later they will be able to successfully produce it, even if it requires them to make efforts as unskillful as Yugong moving mountains.

To put it bluntly.

As a living being capable of immortality.

No matter how long it takes, they can devote themselves to it.

However, various perpetual motion machines used as equipment are often not that powerful in terms of their effects.

Basically, it only has the most basic characteristics.

For example, it can continuously do work to the outside, allowing it to permanently transmit energy to the outside.

There are only a very small number of special devices that can grow and evolve on their own.

Usually only those with extremely high status can use and manufacture it.

Such as the various [Awakeners of the Transcendent Stage]...

For example, the new equipment that Xi Shenlian wanted to upgrade before, as an offering from some [Infinite Stage Life Forms], was not that high-end.

Even if there is really someone in the [Infinite Stage] who can produce something of that level, he must be a very powerful guy in the [Infinite Stage].

As a force that has just been born.

There is no such guy in Xi Shenlian's [Purple Dream Sky Company] for the time being.

Furthermore.

Guys of that level can actually be said to have the freedom of the sky being high and the birds flying freely.

As long as you don't do anything stupid, you will basically die.

After excluding the [Awakeners Beyond the Stage].

There is almost nothing that can kill them.

So to a large extent, they actually don't need to rely on anyone.

Unless something went wrong with them, or they simply wanted to find a big tree to lean on for safety reasons...

Therefore, Xi Shenlian felt that there would probably not be such a guy coming to join him in the short term.

For this.

He didn't care.

For him.

The addition of that kind of guy would only give you more cattle and horses.

Other than that it doesn't change anything.

He doesn't need any so-called confidants at all.

He only regarded his so-called subordinates as tools...
