#921 - Chapter 921 Mother Atom Cluster

“From my current perspective, I think the safest approach is the one my sister used: don't believe anything he says,” Nata said.

“Combining what I said earlier, what do you think?” Dongfang Chen Er reminded him.

“What you said earlier, you mean putting yourself in a favorable position?” Nata asked.

“That’s right, combine the two?” Dongfang Chen Er nodded.

“Combine the two?”

Nata pondered for a moment and tried to say:

“Are you saying that listening or not listening is not important, what’s important is not letting yourself suffer?”

“Very close. In fact, the most crucial reason why Guiguzi's tricks succeed is that they exploit people's biases. If you can let go of your attachments, he will naturally have no way to deal with you.”

“In other words, what Guiguzi says is not important, what’s important is to clearly identify your own shortcomings and face them squarely. As long as you are not tricked by your own shortcomings, others cannot trick you.” Dongfang Chen Er said.

He said all this to plant this method in Nata's mind.

“I understand. If I weren't hung up on Dad's affairs, and if I didn't suspect you, then Guiguzi couldn't trick me.”

“Furthermore, even though I knew I suspected you, I shouldn't have entered his game. If I did enter the game, I should have been careful about him making a fuss about this.” Nata said.

It seemed that this method had been successfully implanted into his collection of methods.

“That’s right.” Dongfang Chen Er nodded.

“Dad, now that you say it, I suddenly understand. Looking at it now, Guiguzi's divisive plan is actually very easy to see through. Whether I find Dad or not has nothing to do with him. If he's being unusually attentive, he must have ulterior motives.” Nata said.

“You can be considered to have emerged from your bias.” Dongfang Chen Er poked his forehead.

“Hehe. That was close!” Nata scratched his head.

“Alright, now that everything is out in the open, let’s go out for a walk.” Mengka breathed a sigh of relief.

“Wait, there’s still something.” Nata waved his hand.

“What else is there?” Mengka was stunned, worried that he would cause more trouble.

“Dad, the analysis of the salt crystals and the deformable mecha metal material is complete.” Nata said.

Mengka relaxed after hearing this.

As long as he wasn't getting caught up in something, that was fine.

“Really? Tell me quickly!” Dongfang Chen Er was very interested in this.

“In fact, the working principles of salt crystals and deformable mecha metal are very similar, only the working temperatures are different.”

“The active temperature of salt crystals is between -180 degrees Celsius and -110 degrees Celsius. They will deactivate below this temperature and also above this temperature.”

“The active temperature of deformable mecha metal is very broad. Generally speaking, it has no minimum active temperature; it can survive no matter how cold it is. But it has a maximum active temperature of 768 degrees.”

“In other words, deformable mecha metal can survive in environments below 768 degrees, and has very strong adaptability.”

“However, when the ambient temperature is lower than -213 degrees, it loses its assimilation properties and can no longer proliferate.”

Nata gave a brief introduction.

“So, are they a material or a life form?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.

“They have neural activity and the ability to reproduce, so they should be understood as a life form.” Nata thought for a moment and replied.

“Can they be synthesized?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.

“Yes, but there is a certain risk of losing control.” Nata replied.

“Explain in detail.”

“In fact, salt crystals and deformable mecha metal are the same in this regard. Units that are too small only have simple nerve reflex activity and do not have memory capabilities. They are like bacteria, relying entirely on environmental sensing to perform instinctive activities. In this case, it is easy to cause great damage due to massive proliferation.” Nata explained.

“Where does their neural activity come from?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.

“Salt crystals use sodium ions to form low-temperature superconducting loops. Multiple loops are spliced together to form a structure similar to a neuron.”

“Deformable mecha metal is more strange. From the results analyzed so far, a metal needs a mother atomic cluster composed of at least 3200 metal atoms to be transformed into a deformable metal. I call this process assimilation.”

“From the deformable mecha we captured, any mother atomic cluster has complete metal characteristics and spillover characteristics. This is equivalent to a complete piece of genetic material.”

“When they come into contact with other metals, they transfer this characteristic to the target metal, thereby achieving assimilation.”

“This assimilation process can be understood as reproduction.”
