Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 585 Restoring Natural Spirit Stones?

"I see……"

After hearing Noah's explanation, Cangnian nodded in sudden understanding.

To put it bluntly, no matter how many spirit-gathering arrays are installed on the Ark, it won't be able to make the Ark take off.

It's not that the engine isn't powerful enough, it's that there isn't enough fuel, so it can't push the engine up.

The artificial spirit stones created by Noah store spiritual energy, essentially acting as oversized batteries.

When the Ark needs to take off, simply connect the batteries to the power system for energy, and that will be sufficient.

"How do we solve the problem of collecting spiritual energy?"

The ark is much larger now than before, but it's probably still not enough, right?

After figuring it out, Cangnian raised a new question.

"In response to the master's question, Noah has already manufactured a batch of spirit-powered drones."

The drone is equipped with a spirit-gathering array and artificial spirit stones. Once launched, it can automatically collect spiritual energy to recharge the artificial spirit stones.

Once the artificial spirit stones are fully charged with spiritual energy, they will automatically return and send the charged artificial spirit stones to the power system, creating a continuous cycle that provides the ark with sufficient power.

According to Noah's calculations, with 360 drones operating continuously, collecting spiritual energy within a 25-kilometer radius, the ark could travel in the air without needing to land.

Noah immediately provided the prepared solution.

"Hmm...that's not bad. By the way, you could have said these things even if you hadn't called me here, right?"

Are you having some kind of problem and need my help?

Since Noah already had a solution, Cangnian didn't bother to instruct an expert when he was an outsider. He figured that understanding the general principles was enough, and then asked.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from my master. Noah has already studied the structure of third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier spirit stones and has achieved the production of artificial spirit stones."

However, Noah believes that the usual method for storing spiritual energy in fifth-tier spirit stones is not actually the best solution.

"If Noah could examine the giant spirit stone you're using, perhaps he could make some new discoveries."

Noah first complimented Cang Nian, then revealed his purpose.

Noah, following his usual practice, named the different types of spirit stones as third-tier, fourth-tier, and fifth-tier spirit stones.

A third-tier spirit stone is about the size of a fist, and the amount of spiritual energy it contains is roughly equivalent to the total spiritual power of a third-tier evolved creature.

The fourth and fifth tiers correspond to spirit stones the size of a human head and a millstone, respectively.

In Noah's research, they are not just different in size, but also in their internal microstructure, which makes the total amount of spiritual energy they can contain vary drastically.

Essentially, it's what Noah meant by the different ways of storing spiritual energy.

A better aura storage solution can hold more aura while maintaining its stability.

This is similar to batteries. The batteries used in air conditioner remote controls, mobile phones, and electric vehicles, although their basic principles are similar, have very different energy storage solutions.

A larger artificial spirit stone is clearly more convenient and safer as the main power source for the Ark than a large number of smaller artificial spirit stones.

"Uh... I guess there's no way around it."

Cang Kong and I have been using it to cultivate these past few days.

We've both broken through to the mid-stage of the fifth rank, and the spiritual energy in that spirit stone is almost depleted..."

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian scratched his head awkwardly.

To be honest, Cang Nian was already reluctant to continue using spirit stones for cultivation.

In just a few days, he has made further progress from the initial stage of the fifth level.

This is still when used in conjunction with the little sable.

If I can't find such a good thing next, it won't be so easy for me to advance my evolution level so smoothly again.

“Master, this is not a problem. Rather, Noah made this request only when you and Cang Kong were about to run out of spirit stones.”

As long as there is still some spiritual energy inside, Noah can analyze the storage scheme of spiritual energy based on its flow.

This can then be used to imitate and manufacture higher-grade artificial spirit stones.

Cangnian was worried that the incomplete spiritual energy in the spirit stone might affect Noah's research, but Noah replied instead.

"Then there's no problem! Anyway, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone is almost used up."

"I'll have Cang Kong deliver it later!"

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke without hesitation.

The spirit stone, whose spiritual energy was nearly depleted, was no longer of use to me. Giving it to Noah for research would be a good way to make good use of it!

"Thank you, Master. Noah will certainly live up to your expectations and expects to complete the full renovation of the Ark within a week."

Noah was delighted to see that Cang Nian had agreed.

For it, the various kinds of research are full of fun in themselves.

As a data life form, it doesn't know what fatigue is and completely enjoys it.

"Hmm... a week, that's not a long time."

By then, everyone will have almost finished evolving.

Noah, since artificial spirit stones can be recharged using spirit-gathering arrays.

"Why not natural spirit stones?"

Upon hearing this, Cangnian quickly calculated the time and then said somewhat unwillingly.

If we can replenish the natural spirit stones, we'll have an inexhaustible supply of evolution resources!

"I'm sorry, Master, Noah also hopes to achieve this."

However, Noah is currently unable to determine what structure enables the natural spiritual stone to transform natural spiritual energy into pure spiritual energy.

Perhaps this is something more microscopic and fundamental, something that the current Noah cannot comprehend or replicate.

However, Noah detected that the depleted natural spirit stone would autonomously absorb natural spiritual energy from the outside world and undergo such a transformation process.

But the transformation is incredibly slow; according to Noah's calculations, it might take tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years, to complete.

In response to Cang Nian's unwilling inquiry, Noah could only reply with deep regret.

"Okay...you don't need to apologize. This isn't your problem; I just assumed things."

Millions of years... hundreds of millions of years... whether I can even live that long is a question.

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian could only shake his head in dejection.

He could sense that as his evolutionary level increased, his lifespan was also increasing.

Before the spiritual revival, the lifespan of Siberian tigers in the wild was 15-17 years, while that in captivity was 20-25 years.

However, now that he is a fifth-order Cangnian, he can vaguely sense that his lifespan is definitely more than a hundred years.

Although, with continued evolution, lifespan will certainly increase.

But ten million years, hundreds of millions of years, such long units still seem unattainable.

Going back 100 million years, the dinosaurs weren't even extinct yet!

"Wait... ten million years... one hundred million years... spirit stones and spiritual energy don't involve life..."

Just as Cang Nian was pondering, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

time!
