During Lin Feng's previous communication with Guang, the existence of the Infinity Stones was also mentioned.
However, Guang stated that after searching the universe for so long, they hadn't obtained even a single piece of information about an Infinity Stone, which Lin Feng found somewhat baffling.
Moreover, Jin. Henry had been the leader for many years, and his collection was likely not small. Could there really be nothing that could power the mechanical life form race?
Lin Feng couldn't understand.
Perhaps their required energy was just too special.
An took the Infinity Stone handed over by Lin Feng.
On her small hands, her skin began to crack, revealing several very small mechanical arms.
An secured the Infinity Stone onto them.
"Parsing in progress..."
Blue data streams began to flow in An's eyes.
The radiation from the Infinity Stones was primarily gamma rays. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they couldn't be used to power mechanical life forms.
This was because gamma rays were not exclusive to the Infinity Stones.
However, the Infinity Stones possessed a special characteristic: they contained a portion of cosmic authority.
Furthermore, they could also simulate the output of other forms of energy.
Lin Feng was unsure of the exact setting in the movies, as no one had mentioned it.
But the fact that he could amplify and recharge with the Infinity Stones clearly indicated that the Infinity Stones here had broader uses than Lin Feng had imagined.
As he pondered, An was still continuously parsing.
Her level of evolution was likely far inferior to Guang's.
When Guang received the M'Kraan Crystal, she had completed preliminary parsing in a short while.
An, on the other hand, had been parsing for nearly ten minutes.
"Parsing complete. The Infinity Stone can serve as a backup energy source and can slightly enhance destructive power during combat..."
"Feasible data uploading, upload complete..."
Anything that could serve as an energy supply held the highest priority among the mechanical life forms.
An unhesitatingly proceeded with the information upload.
Lin Feng rejoiced upon hearing that it could be used.
But immediately after, he frowned.
Not because of the Infinity Stone itself, but because An had uploaded the data without his consent?
Lin Feng's expression darkened.
Clearly, Lin Feng's commands and opinions were secondary to the mechanical life form race for An.
Despite having some mental preparation, Lin Feng was still somewhat unhappy.
He disliked things that were beyond his control.
However, he considered it.
Since the Infinity Stones were useful to the mechanical life form race, Lin Feng's leverage would increase.
If they wanted a large-scale supply, then Guang, the controller, would have to pledge allegiance to him.
With the Cosmic Cube and the Heart of the Universe still in his possession, Lin Feng didn't believe the current Guang could escape his grasp...
The mechanical life form race's full armament deployment could absolutely provide combat support for Lin Feng at critical moments.
"Leader, it's for you."
After parsing the Infinity Stone, An returned it to Lin Feng, her eyes showing no hint of reluctance.
Mainly, this item had no emotions. Among the mechanical life forms, only Guang seemed to exhibit human-like emotional expressions.
Lin Feng did not take the stone.
"Did Guang say anything about you uploading the data?"
An responded truthfully, "Guang said she was very happy, like humans experiencing emotions."
"However, she is still completely parsing the M'Kraan Crystal."
"But Guang did say that if possible, she would like to ask the leader to bring an Infinity Stone back when he returns."
"Of course, we will provide sufficient items in exchange, though the value may not be equivalent..."
Although the mechanical life form race also possessed some special, rare, and incredibly powerful artifacts, in An's database, there was no item comparable to an energy source that could extend the survival time of the mechanical life form race.
Look at that, even if she lacked flexibility, she was such an honest child!
She said what she thought.
Compared to normal humans, Lin Feng preferred trading with such mechanical life forms.
There was absolutely no beating around the bush!
Lin Feng smiled and, instead of answering the question, countered.
"Can you show me the data from the Infinity Stone you parsed?"
"Certainly." An brought up the data for Lin Feng to see.
Since the item was given by Lin Feng, there was no issue in showing it to him.
However, after just a glance, Lin Feng felt his head buzzing.
Dense data analysis, along with a pile of symbols Lin Feng couldn't understand.
Looking briefly, the data volume was immense.
"Uh... forget it, I won't look." Lin Feng immediately gave up.
It was like looking at heavenly scripture, making one dizzy.
"Just tell me, how much stronger is this compared to the Infinity Energy Core?"
"Also, what is the conversion rate of using this as an energy source, and what kind of combat operations can it support?"
He wouldn't look at it, Lin Feng only wanted to know these few pieces of data.
However, it was certain to be stronger than that pseudo-Infinity Energy Core.
An looked at the Infinity Stone in her hand and immediately replied, "The Infinity Stone is far superior to the Infinity Energy Core."
"If converted to data, perhaps ten thousand Infinity Energy Cores would not be comparable to this single Infinity Stone."
"The Infinity Stone converts to the same source of energy with a conversion rate of about 60%, and its functions are stable and sufficient."
"If used for combat... with full armament deployment, it should be able to continuously fire all cannons for over 3 hours..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's brows furrowed.
Only 3 hours? That was much lower than he had expected. Were the mechanical life forms that energy-consuming?
An quickly provided the answer.
"After 3 hours, all cannons require cooling before they can continue firing."
"However, this single Infinity Stone, with all cannons at full power and not considering cooling, can sustain operations for at least over 1000 hours..."
"Furthermore, there is no limit on instantaneous energy output," An said, intently staring at the Infinity Stone in her hand.
"Summary: The Infinity Stone, as an energy source, has a sufficiently high conversion rate and no instantaneous limit, making it the best substitute currently found by the race!"
"With the Infinity Stone as an energy source, individual members of the race possess the combat capability to destroy a single universe in a very short time."
"For core combat units, like myself, linked with full armament, a single firing sequence can pierce through a universe..."
An presented the analysis results of the Infinity Stone.
Lin Feng understood. So it wasn't that the Infinity Stone's energy was insufficient, but the cannon barrels needed cooling...
It was a bit amusing, yet logical and reasonable.
"I understand all this. I have one more question."
"If not used for combat, how long can this Infinity Stone sustain survival time?" Lin Feng asked again.
An immediately responded.
"Theoretically, it is infinite!"
"Infinite?"
