Chapter 789: Chapter 490: High-Energy Matter Leak (Part 2)

They only knew that they finally smashed this thing!

"What are you staring at? Hurry up and collect these fragments!" the man in military uniform shouted.

Immediately, all combat personnel controlled the Small Power Armor,

and started collecting the scattered fragments.

A few minutes later, just as they were about to return to the nuclear submarine cabin with the collected debris,

suddenly.

BOOM!!!

A horrifying sound of a landslide and earthquake exploded.

Everyone was jolted around.

At the same time, a terrifying roar reached everyone’s ears through the seawater.

Roar!!!!

"It’s...it’s Godzilla coming!"

"Damn!"

"Damn it, still a step too late!" The man in military uniform gritted his teeth, and urgently ordered his men: "Quickly give the collected fragments to Dr. Matthew, he will test their effects!"

They had already exhausted all their energy to arrive here in advance.

With their current energy, it’s impossible to return to land.

So these fragments were their only way out now.

At this moment, Matthew was sweating profusely, constantly testing the effects of the Crystal Cluster with various methods,

such as conductivity tests, magnetic tests, density measurements, combustion tests, high temperature and pressure measurements, etc.

Mapping out all known human test methods in the shortest possible time.

But to no avail, this Crystal Cluster seemed to have no special properties other than an extremely high hardness.

Just as Matthew was pondering deeply, he suddenly had a flash of insight. "Wait a minute... where did the mist released by the Crystal Cluster come from?"

He remembered that after bombing the mineral vein earlier, the Crystal Cluster reacted with a large amount of mist. And now after bringing it indoors, this mist was no longer produced.

"That means this substance needs to react with something else to release energy!" Matthew suddenly realized.

But what should this substance react with? Is it the radioactive elements in hydrogen bombs? Or high-temperature flames?

No.

Matthew had tested all these earlier, none of which induced any reaction in the Crystal Cluster.

Then, Matthew immediately thought of seawater.

In the ocean, the only thing that has long-term contact with the Crystal Cluster is seawater.

Thinking of this, Matthew immediately ordered someone to fetch a bucket of seawater, then took a fragment of about one gram of the Crystal Cluster and threw it into the bucket.

In an instant, a large amount of indigo mist emerged, turning into countless bubbles bubbling up from the fragment that had sunk to the bottom. And that one-gram fragment was decomposing at an extremely slow pace.

"This is..." Matthew suddenly felt that after inhaling the indigo mist, his mind seemed to become much clearer, and his physical fitness seemed to be faintly stronger. An idea immediately came to his mind: "Is this... Wang Ye’s Evolutionary Energy!"

However, what followed was Matthew’s deep concern,

this Crystal indeed induced a peculiar kind of evolution. But the problem lies in the evolution process being way too slow. Even if he threw more Crystal fragments into the bucket, causing more mist to be absorbed by everyone in the cabin, they wouldn’t evolve useful powers in the time available.

Godzilla could appear at any moment and crush them all. In this short few minutes, they could do nothing.

Feeling the increasingly intense vibrations of the submarine,

and the furious shouts from the man in military uniform in the command room.

Matthew couldn’t help but lower his eyes, carefully considering what other effects this energy might have?

Since this mist contains high-density energy, it couldn’t just serve for evolution.

If it could substitute for energy and propel this Super Nuclear Submarine, then they would still have a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, Matthew immediately grabbed the bucket and jogged all the way to the nuclear submarine’s energy cabin.

As a scientist, his physical endurance was not his strong suit. After running tens of nearly a hundred meters with the bucket, he began to pant heavily.

But he didn’t stop; he began to retrofit the submarine’s energy using the knowledge he had. The first step was to extract the original energy source from the nuclear submarine, which meant taking out the highly concentrated uranium core block. Due to the emergency situation, Matthew did not wear any radiation protection gear and directly removed its casing with bare hands, immediately feeling a wave of dizziness from the intense radiation contained within.

But disregarding the abnormality in his body, he continued to fabricate something new that could replace the original energy source. He needed the Crystal Cluster fragments to continuously undergo chemical reactions with seawater to provide sufficient power for the submarine. But unfortunately, he lacked theoretical knowledge in this area, despite having multiple master’s and doctoral degrees, none of which deeply covered this energy theory. He could only speculate while fabricating energy.

Meanwhile, the urging and chastising voice of the man in military uniform came through his earpiece: "What the hell are you doing? Godzilla could arrive at any moment, is that mysterious substance useful or not?"

Matthew responded while urgently operating in the energy cabin: "Give me one more minute, after one minute, you must immediately order your men to start the submarine, don’t ask why."

Then, he directly took off the earpiece, placing it on the ground before stomping it to pieces. The energy retrofit was very complicated, and he couldn’t tolerate any interference now.

At that moment, the man in military uniform in the command room looked surprised: "Hello? Hello? Hello? Matthew?"

Finally, realizing that Matthew had removed the earpiece, he angrily smashed the table in the command room, "That guy actually defied orders!"

But moments later, his expression calmed while saying to his men beside him: "Pass the order, in one minute, start the submarine and activate the Supercavitation technology to return to the base at the fastest speed."

He wanted to see, in this last minute, what Matthew could do.

A minute passed quickly.

Godzilla’s roar and the seawater’s vibrations grew more intense, making it feel as if that terrifying monster was almost at their doorstep,

under the direction of the man in military uniform, all personnel in the Super Nuclear Submarine restarted both the submarine and the Supercavitation technology.

They initially thought their energy had been completely exhausted, making it impossible to restart the Supercavitation technology.

But unexpectedly,

the energy column on the screen had returned to one hundred percent, and the submarine’s power was exceedingly strong,

accelerating to supersonic speed within seconds, racing towards the eastern sea surface.

"Succeeded?"

"It actually succeeded!"

Now, the completely exhausted Matthew arrived at the door of the control room, drenched in sweat, his clothing soaked, looking incredibly disheveled, but he couldn’t help but smile seeing the submarine restart: "It really worked."

The man in military uniform suddenly came over, patted Matthew on the shoulder: "Well done."

Other technical personnel also gathered around, starting to celebrate the narrow escape and thanking Matthew for saving all of their lives.

The submarine, having activated the Supercavitation technology, soon reached supersonic speed, and within moments had arrived dozens of kilometers away on the sea surface. Meanwhile, Godzilla was still searching for them near the Mariana Trench, but even if it caught sight of the Super Nuclear Submarine fleet now, it couldn’t catch up anymore, considering Godzilla only reached subsonic speed.

However, those inside the submarine, celebrating their victory, did not realize that while escaping the jaws of peril, they had created a bigger crisis—

A crisis capable of threatening the entire world.
