Chapter 482: Chapter 481 Giant Transformation

"Although I didn’t count carefully, I must have killed at least four or five hundred Dragon Vein Goblins just now, right? That’s equivalent to clearing two square kilometers of Goblin Plain. Still fairly acceptable," Zhang Yanhang said after taking out the Dragon Vein Goblins from the Nu Dao Tribe. He was originally planning to stand still and quietly wait for the Drop treasure boxes to refresh, as he did before, but then he remembered something.

"I haven’t tested the strength enhancement of my Giant Transformation and the High-level Giant Transformation Technique yet. Now’s a good time to do that, and it won’t even take much time," Zhang Yanhang muttered while pulling out a large piece of reinforced concrete from his Waist Bag. It has to be said that, even for his current size, the piece of reinforced concrete was still quite large.

Due to its relatively low density, the piece of reinforced concrete in Zhang Yanhang’s hands weighed only about ten tons, but its volume was up to four cubic meters—that is, 2.5 tons per cubic meter. Compared to steel at 7.85 tons per cubic meter and Crimson Iron weighing up to more than a dozen tons per cubic meter, its density really wasn’t up to par.

Zhang Yanhang started to consider whether he should perhaps switch to a denser material for measurement in the future?

After all, it might be sufficient now, but when advancing to the Third Tier later, he feared that a casual strength test might require several tens of cubic meters of reinforced concrete. Although there was plenty of space in his Waist Bag, carrying that much reinforced concrete would feel inconvenient.

"I’ll deal with this matter when I have time later on, like when I go to the smaller-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu; it’s entirely possible to consolidate the excess, useless Crimson Iron there."

Of course, because this plan was also somewhat troublesome, Zhang Yanhang thought he might simply pick up a couple of Crimson iron ore pillars to stuff in his Waist Bag as a measurement tool, after all, even the unsmelted Crimson Iron ore was much denser than ordinary steel.

"How come this ten-ton piece of reinforced concrete feels so much lighter than before?"

Zhang Yanhang tossed the four-cubic-meter piece of reinforced concrete in his hand; the sense of weight that it used to bring seemed to have completely vanished, and now it just felt okay in his hand.

Given the situation, Zhang Yanhang added another five tons of reinforced concrete directly onto his hand—that was, another two cubic meters worth of concrete. However, to his surprise, after adding the five tons of concrete, he felt like he still had plenty of strength left.

"Before, I estimated that the Giant Transformation and High-level Giant Transformation Technique could only increase my strength by two or three tons, but now it seems like I might have gained three or four tons."

While speaking, Zhang Yanhang added another two-ton piece of reinforced concrete to his hand, bringing the total weight of the reinforced concrete he was holding to seventeen tons.

But, even though the total weight had reached seventeen tons, Zhang Yanhang still felt like he had some spare capacity.

"Could it be that four tons is still not my limit? Could the Giant Transformation and High-level Giant Transformation Techniques have added five tons of strength?" Zhang Yanhang considered, then directly took another one-ton piece of reinforced concrete from his Waist Bag and placed it in his right hand.

After a brief feeling, Zhang Yanhang almost tested his limit, although there might still be a tiny bit of spare capacity left. Based on his experience, he could probably add about half a ton more weight.

"Eighteen and a half tons? Goodness, isn’t that a bit too strong? I remember my previous strength limit was only about thirteen tons, and now it has suddenly increased by five and a half tons."

Zhang Yanhang quickly calculated that the overall strength boost from the Giant Transformation and High-level Giant Transformation Techniques astonishingly reached around forty percent, indeed somewhat unexpected.

"With my enhanced strength of eighteen and a half tons, it seems like I can easily lift self-propelled guns and tanks, right? I remember the Empire has a model of a 120mm caliber self-propelled howitzer that weighs only seventeen tons; I could easily carry one in one hand and fire it for fun.

Or even carry a lightweight tank from Russia, the Octopus-SDM1 amphibious light tank, which weighs exactly eighteen tons, and its gun caliber is 125mm, 5mm larger than that of the self-propelled howitzer..."

But although the idea of toting around a pair of tanks seemed rather amusing, considering that their firepower was nothing compared to his Rebirth in Pure Bliss Realm Prison Suppression Cannon, he ultimately abandoned this flashy idea.

Otherwise, with his Alchemy skills, perhaps crafting Magical Items might not be his strong suit, but with the proper blueprints, playing around with a tank was perfectly feasible—getting the shape right was all that mattered, and materials were certainly not a concern.

Tank steel strength might pose a difficulty for scientists, but for Alchemy, it was just a matter of a little Fusion. And as for the engine power issue, there was even less need to worry—that could simply be driven by Magic Energy.

In any case, Alchemy’s ridiculous productivity was definitely not something modern technology could match unless it was possible to transfer some of the technological or science fiction-related techniques from the Ashen World to the Main World.

But overall, it had to be acknowledged that in the Spiritual Qi Recovery Era, Awakeners, especially high-end ones, definitely always held the most advanced and cutting-edge productive forces.

After all, the essence of technology is industrialization and mass production, but production en masse means a decline in Quality; however, Awakeners creating various Items generally do so in small quantities, enough for personal use, and to achieve the end goal, they even crazily pile up materials at all costs.

Certainly, in terms of technology, it’s much the same—the most cutting-edge stuff is always the prototypes handcrafted in laboratories, while the mass-produced products tend to be downgraded versions.

After all, technological advancement is always difficult. The desire to miniaturize while maintaining original performance encapsulates the dilemma of wanting too many good things at once.

Not to mention that cost is often the most important consideration. To maintain sufficient cost-effectiveness, performance often has to make way, entering a paradoxical state that is both very important and yet unimportant.

Having briefly tested the strength increase from the Giant Transformation and High-level Giant Transformation Techniques, Zhang Yanhang ceased maintaining these spells, as an eight-meter height wasn’t exactly suitable for collecting treasure boxes.

Before casting the spells, the size of the treasure boxes was reasonable for him, but after becoming eight meters tall, they were even smaller than one of his fingertips, so collecting them would likely involve lying on the ground.
