The detestable Bhutlerians had no idea what sustainable development was.
They had actually destroyed the energy crystal mines of his two planets.
They had simply treated Planet Helka and Planet Terra as mines.
They simply abandoned the planets after they were used up.
Even though he did not find any energy lodes…
… Number Two had ordered his people to bring back some good stuff.
It was an energy diamond that the upper echelons of Planet Terra had specially offered in order to avoid being enslaved by Planet Bhutler once again.
It was an energy diamond!
“Number One, have you seen this thing before?”
Number One looked and blushed.
“Divine Lord, I’m very sorry. I’ve never seen such a thing before. However, Harris, who spends his days in the laboratory, should know what it is. You can ask him.”
Brian slapped his thigh excitedly.
That’s right. He should ask the professionals about such things.
Harris was brought to Brian by Number One.
“Overlord, what would you want me to take a look at?”
“It’s good stuff. You’ll know when you open the box.”
Harris looked at the grinning Brian and Number One and felt a little creeped out.
When Harris carefully opened the beautifully decorated box in front of him…
Under the illumination of the energy lights in the base, a diamond that was the size of a watermelon emitted a dazzling light.
It was colorful and dyed the room in cyberpunk colors.
Harris was stunned and almost lost his balance.
His hands trembled as he stammered.
“This— this— this is the legendary energy diamond.”
Brian was slightly disappointed.
In his eyes, wasn’t that just a large diamond?
“Harris, why are you so worked up?”
“Reporting to the Overlord, this is an energy diamond.”
“An energy diamond? I’ve seen diamonds before, but they don’t have much energy. Isn’t this so-called energy diamond just a bit bigger?”
“No!”
Harris was in high spirits.
“Overlord, this energy diamond is different from ordinary diamonds. It’s an extremely rare ore— no, it’s not an ore. It’s more suitable to call it an energy source. This is because the mineral vein of the energy diamond is of extremely high quality. Thus, after it is mined, it can be used directly without any processing.”
Harris felt a little suffocated. He took a few deep breaths before explaining.
“The energy density of energy diamonds is extremely high. Because of this high energy density, the energy diamonds were mined by the upper echelons of the Model Galaxy a long time ago. Now, there are almost no energy diamonds in low-level civilizations.”
“Energy diamonds are rarer than planets with life in the galaxy.”
Energy diamonds were actually rarer than planets with life?
Brian was extremely surprised.
When he was on Earth, the scientists on Earth were passionate about finding life in the universe.
Scientists had tried countless times.
This included using high-tech radio telescopes to observe the planets in the depths of the universe, emitting various frequencies of electromagnetic wave signals to the universe, putting CD discs containing all kinds of languages on Earth into rockets and firing them out, putting animals into spaceships, and so on…
However, after countless efforts, they still did not find any planets with life.
They did not even find a planet suitable for living creatures.
Thus, planets with life were extremely rare.
Out of the eight major planets in the Solar System, only the Earth was lucky enough to produce life.
Thus, Brian couldn’t imagine the value of an energy diamond.
“It seems like this energy diamond is very valuable?”
Harris said excitedly.
“It’s not a matter of high value. This energy diamond is simply a priceless treasure. Even the upper echelons of the Model Galaxy do not have many energy diamonds.”
“Although the energy density of this energy diamond is not the highest among all the energy diamonds, it is still enough to meet the energy gap of the Planet Helka fleet.”
“An energy diamond can allow a destruction-grade battleship to travel hundreds of thousands of light-years.”
Brian’s heart suddenly raced, but he pretended to be calm in order to maintain his dignified image.
“Not bad. This is indeed a priceless treasure.”
The destruction-grade warship was a ten-thousand-meter heavy-duty battleship. The energy that it consumed to travel several hundred thousand light years was an astronomical figure.
However, one energy diamond was enough to deal with the incoming S Battleship fleet.
In fact, a large portion of energy would even be left behind.
Harris did not stop. He continued to introduce the functions of the energy diamond.
“For the higher-leveled civilizations in the Model Galaxy, the functions of the energy diamond are important. The higher-leveled civilizations can use a certain technology to fuse the energy diamond with a mecha. After some special treatment, they can create an energy mecha.”
Brian did not understand and raised a question.
“Can you give me an example? That would be more straightforward.”
Harris thought about it and spoke slowly.
“It’s said that this type of energy mecha can release the power of a Level 20 lifeform.”
“In other words, an ordinary person with this kind of energy mecha could reach a combat level of Level 20.”
Brian’s poker face twisted at Harris’s introduction.
It was a mixture of fear and shock.
Fortunately, because he was a carbon-based creature, no one noticed the change in his expression.
Brian had not expected such an energy diamond to possess such great power.
After taking the gene potion, he was already a Level 10 lifeform.
If he wore the energy mecha that Harris had mentioned, what level would his strength reach?
Would it reach Level 25, or above Level 30?
He couldn’t imagine this.
Brian had only heard Taylor say that those above Level 15 could travel through outer space. Meanwhile, at Level 20, they could destroy a complete planet single-handedly.
What kind of strength would those above Level 20 possess?
Furthermore, could such a tremendous increase in strength actually be achieved with just an energy mecha?
This energy diamond was truly a priceless treasure!
Brian pressed on.
“Does Planet Helka or Planet Terra have information on how to make energy mechas?”
“Unfortunately, there isn’t any. Planet Helka once had a few energy diamonds, but were used to exchange science and technology with another civilization. Meanwhile, the people of Planet Terra focus on cultivating their physiques, so they shouldn’t have such technological information either.”
“Then, which civilization did you exchange the energy diamond with? Is there any information about that civilization?”
“Reporting to the Overlord, there is no information about that civilization left behind on Planet Helka. We only know that that civilization is already a Level 5 civilization, and that it’s 6,000 light-years away.”
Tsk, it was 6,000 light years away.
At this distance, Brian simply dismissed the idea of stealing their technology.
He had an energy diamond, but he had no way to create them.
It was like having a beautiful woman wearing revealing clothes while lying on a bed, but he could only watch from afar and not do anything…
“Harris, go and do your work. Go and improve the meals of the workers at the production base. The production personnel are also important members of Planet Helka.”
