"Just a little bit more."

Wang Ye squinted his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and continued to shrink the force field.

The excessive expenditure of energy also triggered his metabolic function to automatically overload. His muscles absorbed countless amounts of energy, rapidly expanding to ninety-five percent of their potential, including his temples and masseter muscles, which were filled to the brim with endless carbon dioxide, bulging high, making him look like a terrifying beast hidden in the depths of the lava.

His breathing became unusually heavy, but not to intake oxygen, rather to dissipate heat; thick smoke sprayed from his nostrils, igniting the air the instant it was expelled, transforming into two scorching flames.

Finally.

Half an hour passed.

Under Wang Ye’s efforts, his force field was completely reduced to the nano scale.

In that instant, countless carbon atoms arranged themselves into hexagonal crystals, spontaneously aligning along the stress gradient.

Each carbon atom was fixed within.

And the carbon acetylene crystal nucleus was formed at this moment. Wang Ye could clearly perceive the intense pain coming from his finger bones. This was not the usual pain from nerve stimulation, but rather the pain from the body’s rejection response, originating from deep within his genes.

Yet at this moment, Wang Ye showed not a hint of displeasure.

His eyes were filled with indescribable delight.

"I succeeded!"

He actually managed, at a depth of one hundred thousand meters below the earth, to successfully synthesize this hardest material known to mankind - carbon acetylene! Although this piece of carbon acetylene was very small, only millimeter-level in size and could collapse into diamond or graphite at any moment.

But Wang Ye knew that since he could synthesize it once,

he certainly could synthesize it a second time, a third time, up to the ten thousandth time.

Because he had already mastered the technology of nano-level force field focus.

He extracted the millimeter-sized carbon acetylene from his fingertips. This piece of carbon acetylene was not transparent like a diamond crystal but was pure black, akin to coal.

However, when Wang Ye tried to crush it with his fingertip, he found he couldn’t move this millimeter-sized piece of carbon acetylene, even if he completely crushed his own muscle. The carbon acetylene remained intact.

"This is the material forty times harder than diamond..." Wang Ye even suspected that Vibranium in Marvel Movies might be nothing like this.

If he truly could transform his entire skeleton into this miraculous hard material, his combat power would surely soar to unimaginable heights. Then, by evolving his muscle fibers and fascia into highly flexible materials like graphene cellulose, it would be much simpler.

In fact, now that his skeleton had evolved into diamond, he realized his muscles were a big drag. The hardness of diamond and the flexibility of muscle proteins are not on the same level. Even if muscle contracts destructively, the diamond skeleton wouldn’t have the slightest damage.

So, after the skeleton evolution is complete,

Wang Ye must urgently proceed with modifying the muscle fibers.

However, the most important thing right now is to completely transform the skeleton into carbon acetylene.

Wang Ye murmured softly, "Then... let’s wait for five in the morning tomorrow."

With that said, he transformed sharp diamond claws and continued digging into the rock in front of him.

Although the current external pressure combined with the nano force field is enough to create the pressure needed to synthesize carbon acetylene, it’s still too forced. If he can dig deeper, increasing the external pressure, he wouldn’t need to compress the nano force field as much, making it easier to control, and could synthesize more carbon acetylene at once.

Therefore, before his daily evolution at five in the morning tomorrow, Wang Ye’s urgent task is to continue digging deeper. Only then can he more reliably synthesize the materials he needs - carbon acetylene during evolution.

··························

··························

In the blink of an eye, it was early morning.

Three o’clock.

Wang Ye returned to the surface on time.

After a brief wash of his body, he went to the warehouse, ready to consume enough carbon atoms before returning underground for evolution.

Since the density of carbon acetylene is higher than diamond,

to synthesize the same volume of carbon acetylene,

the consumption of carbon atoms would be many times higher than diamond.

Wang Ye, when synthesizing diamond, only synthesized one arm bone, and consumed a ton of graphite.

Even if he consumed a ton of graphite ore daily, it took him three days to evolve his entire skeleton into diamond.

And carbon acetylene... according to Wang Ye’s calculations,

by consuming one ton of graphite, he might only evolve one finger bone entirely into carbon acetylene.

Because the loss during synthesis is too high, the focused force field does not solely compress pressure but also concentrates electromagnetic fields and other substances, leading to high-temperature photons and gamma rays bursting in the force field, which may cause loss of carbon atoms, potential synthesis failure, and carbon chain collapse.

After comprehensive calculation, Wang Ye arrived at the result that one ton of graphite can synthesize one finger bone. However, this result is not absolute, and there might be discrepancies between practice and theory, potentially synthesizing more carbon acetylene or failing to synthesize even one finger bone.

But it doesn’t matter, what he lacks most now is time,

If he doesn’t succeed one day, he’ll try again the next day.

Eventually, he will completely evolve all his bones into carbon acetylene.

Yet, Wang Ye has a premonition that with the increasing proportion of carbon acetylene in his body, merely consuming graphite might not meet his demand for carbon atoms. Because graphite’s density is too low, containing too few carbon atoms, consuming over a ton of graphite each time significantly hampers his actions,

because a large amount of impurities and carbon atoms in graphite will fill his body, making his body extremely large, and once his whole body becomes carbon acetylene, even slight injuries might require hundreds of kilograms of carbon atoms for synthesis and recovery.

Then relying on graphite for supplementation clearly won’t be reasonable,

So Wang Ye’s plan is to supplement carbon atoms in the future by consuming diamonds.

"Since I can freely synthesize diamonds now, why don’t I directly synthesize all this graphite into diamonds?" Wang Ye squinted his eyes slightly.

With the thought appearing, he immediately began to implement,

Ever since a carbon atom synthesis road to diamond appeared in the body,

he could freely synthesize diamonds externally,

Moreover, the carbon atom loss during synthesis is very low; he can synthesize nine kilograms of diamonds from ten kilograms of graphite, with losses amounting only to one-tenth. So, if he desires, he can synthesize all the graphite in the warehouse into diamonds.

Wang Ye inserted his right arm directly into the graphite ore pile in front.

In an instant, countless graphite ores turned into thick black fog like a tornado swirling in the warehouse, gradually drilling into Wang Ye’s pores, while egg-sized diamonds began to emerge gradually in Wang Ye’s palm.

He turned the direction of his palm downwards.

Ding ding clang clang.

Countless diamonds fell to the ground, emitting crisp sounds.

In just ten minutes, the remaining seven or eight tons of graphite ore in the warehouse had all transformed into diamonds, nearly filling up half the warehouse, piled up like a mountain, shining like stars under the moonlight.

These diamonds weighed a total of six tons, and the weight of each diamond was extremely high.

It’s no exaggeration to say this warehouse has become priceless. If calculated at the current market price of diamonds, even the world’s richest man would struggle to buy this warehouse.

But releasing so many diamonds into the market would definitely cause diamond prices to plummet.

So Wang Ye’s idea of becoming the world’s richest man through these diamonds is unrealistic.

Moreover, he doesn’t intend to sell these diamonds; selling them for money would be just a heap of useless digits to him,

but by consuming them, they become his own.
