"A barrel of 4.5 kilograms of oil, once fully reacted, can store the energy of 12 Energy Packs."

"12 Energy Packs cost 1.2 million mushrooms."

"Whereas 4.5 kilograms of vegetable oil, at the parity formula of 1g oil = 3g beans, comes to 30 mushrooms per gram of oil, which equals 135,000 mushrooms for 4.5 kilograms."

"The cost is only 11.25% of the traditional Energy Pack, which can reduce the cost by nearly 90%."

The old engineer said excitedly, "At present, many devices cannot be widely disseminated or mass-produced. On one hand, the cost is prohibitive, but more importantly, the energy consumption is too high, whether in vehicle transport, mining, steelmaking, or the burning of bricks, tiles, ceramics... Fuel consumption is the biggest expense."

"Switching to Floating Heart, energy consumption will be significantly reduced, and many things can be done!"

Zhou Yi also listened with surging excitement.

He never expected to come across new energy technology in such circumstances.

He immediately called a company meeting with all department heads.

Because the significance of this technology in itself was too great, Zhou Yi himself wasn't sure how to handle it.

The usually reticent Red Kestrel was the first to speak this time.

"My view is to ramp up efforts and resources as soon as possible, and to mass-produce the [Floating Heart] as early as we can."

"The brand-new cheap energy it provides will completely rewrite the entire world's landscape. Whether it's for Mechanical City, Guangna City, or Human City, it will play a huge role as a catalyst and propellant."

"Especially for machine life."

The voice of Red Kestrel was particularly loud: "Every machine life, through its long existence, works endlessly just to obtain energy. Yet the more they work, the poorer they become, worn down with exhaustion, until they wear out, become unemployed, and die. I won't comment on the system, but the high prices and costs of energy are one of the most crucial constraints."

"If more machine life could install [Floating Heart], they could immediately reduce their energy expenses by 90%. For machine life, this would be as significant as the Flame Cup to poor humans."

"As a Mechanical Knight, and as a member of the company, I wholeheartedly and sincerely hope that we push forward and mature this technology as soon as possible. It will completely liberate machine life from the vicious cycle of working until death!"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Today is about discussing how to do this."

Da Vinci also made a remote statement through Feng Ying: "If the program of the Mechanical Knight Order is to liberate the minds of machine life that are bounded, then the [Floating Heart] is what can sustain the powerful yet fragile bodies of machine life."

"From a medical standpoint, a healthy body is always the most important."

"From a doctor's perspective, the value of [Floating Heart] is more significant than the breakthrough of program data. It will greatly extend the lifespans of machine life and liberate them from arduous labor. Once fitted with this, it can end the destiny of fatigue-induced deaths of machine life."

"Strongly agree!"

The chuckling Minister of Agriculture, Zheng Tao, said: "Floating Heart technology is highly bound and relevant to agriculture. If Floating Heart begins to be deployed on a large scale, the demand for agricultural products will soar, requiring legumes for oil extraction, sugar beet, and sugarcane for sugar production; the whole agriculture will step into an unprecedented historic peak!"

"A large amount of land will be developed, agriculture will get a rapid growth, and it will be able to feed more people. A larger population will in turn promote rapid changes in every region!"

Everyone was very optimistic about it.

"Since everyone is too optimistic, let me be the one to throw a wet blanket and be that annoying person."

At this moment, Qian Su broke the cheerful atmosphere with a dose of reality.

"The Floating Heart is certainly a tremendously valuable new technology, no doubt, but the current state of machine life's existence is not just a technical issue, there's also deeper oppression and exploitation..."

"The increase in production efficiency will only make exploitation worse, this is a historical norm. Think about it – the prices of Energy Packs are continuously dropping, yet the cost of parts and upgrades for machine life keeps climbing."

"I suggest not to hold too high expectations that it will completely change the existing mechanical society. More likely, it will be used by those in power to extract more value from machine life."

703 agreed: "Miss Qian Su is right, and I'm also very worried about this."

"So now I'm torn. New technology is definitely good, capable of reducing everyone's expenses, but if this technology is utilized by some groups, it can become a sharper weapon."

"The reliable ones are always those with experience in struggle."

Qian Su showed a slight smile to the mechanical dog and then seriously looked at Zhou Yi: "Chairman, this technological breakthrough is so strong that it is now a double-edged sword, incredibly sharp."

"If used improperly, it may hurt ourselves."

"I have a suggestion."

She paused: "We need to keep this technology completely secret until it is mature and can be produced in large quantities, and then sell it to different regions of the world."

"This must be rolled out on a large scale and quickly, to avoid being subjected to technical blockades, or having the standard stolen or snatched. Because this technology might overturn the entire mechanical society, we will be seen as a group more dangerous than the Mechanical Knights... We'll have monopolized low-cost energy technology, and indirectly possess the ability to control Mechanical City."

"This will not only bring pressure from the Mechanical and Electrical City Group, but Heavenly Kingdom and Star Axis will not give up on this power either."

"Honestly, the Floating Heart itself is a superweapon capable of destroying the current order and structure, millions of times more powerful than the previous Alien Detonation! Everyone will want to possess it, it might be a scepter powerful enough to rule over machine life."
