The fifth page of the Jade Record grants Perfikot the ability of decomposition through the Eye of Omniscience.

Initially, Perfikot thought this ability was useless, but when she used it, she realized how abnormal and exaggerated it truly was.

Simply put, she could decompose matter at a microscopic level.

At first glance, it seems no different from a chemical reaction, doesn't it?

But what if this decomposition means splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom into several lighter nuclei, releasing multiple free neutrons to bombard other nuclei in the process?

Doesn't this description sound familiar? In her original world, there's a term for this process called fission reaction.

The most terrifying destructive weapon in human history, and the most powerful weapon used in war, was created based on this principle.

Affectionately called "Einstein's Flipflop" by some.

For an alchemist like Perfikot, creating a piece of heavy atomic element is a piece of cake, and with this ability...

Perfikot realized that when using this ability, she needed to calculate a safe distance.

Of course, the application of this ability isn't limited to that; just as fission reactions are not only used to make weapons, they can also be used to obtain nearly endless energy, the decomposition ability can also break molecules into atoms or change the number of electrons in a nucleus, thereby directly transforming one material into another.

For Perfikot, those new elements in her original world that required a large collider could be made with just her gaze.

In a way, this decomposition ability is like a power to create worlds. It may seem unimpressive at first glance, but essentially, it forms the cornerstone of all things, like the basic principle of 1+1.

If this ability weren't limited to decomposition, and instead allowed random modification and fusion, Perfikot might proclaim herself as the god of a new era.

However, Perfikot judged that if the Jade Record was fully unsealed, it might grant such power.

"So, would unsealing the Jade Record save the world?" To this conclusion, Perfikot merely shook her head slightly.

Although finding a way to save the world made her happy, if it required such a method, Perfikot still found it troubling.

The burden of the world's fate resting on one's shoulders, tasked with saving the world, is enough once; she wouldn't want to go through it again.

For now, there is no hurry. After surviving this apocalyptic crisis, the world will enter a relatively stable state.

Afterwards, although it will be just three hundred years until the planet is completely frozen, which is but a blink of an eye for the planet, it's a long enough period for humans to evolve from the era of cold weapons to the space age.

In seeking ways to address the crisis and save Earth, Perfikot has ample time and energy to proceed at her own pace.

So instead of focusing on the capability of the fifth page and unblocking more pages, Perfikot is now more concerned about the technology provided by the fifth page.

The technology offered by the fifth page of the Jade Record is called the Proto-Matter Alchemy, used to create a material that does not exist in the world and is not bound by the laws of physics.

At first, it sounds a lot like Imaginary Alchemy, but the premise of Imaginary Alchemy is imagination, meaning, the alchemist must be able to imagine matter that doesn't exist in this world to create it.

Even when using Imaginary Alchemy, the imaginary elements created are still subject to physical laws.

These imaginary elements can break certain conventions; for instance, Perfikot's Flying Stone can create antigravity, but this doesn't mean Flying Stone is not bound by the laws of physics.

On the contrary, the fact that the Flying Stone can fly is precisely its conformity to physical laws.

But Proto-Matter is different. It's literally not bound by the laws of physics and can exhibit any form or property.

In simple terms, it can be used to mold flesh, forge weapons, or build houses.

As long as the alchemist wishes, Proto-Matter can be used for any purpose and exhibit any property.

If one must say, it's somewhat similar to the Prima Materia obtained after corruption in orthodox alchemy, but Proto-Matter isn't the Prima Materia; it's more like the product obtained after whitening is completed.

That is, after an alchemist kills the existing materials of nature, making it purely unique, they would convert it into a new compound.

However, everything about Proto-Matter is undetermined and indefinable, so it's not the traditional product of corruption and whitening, but a completely new unknown substance.

Perfikot didn't understand why the fifth page would provide her with such a technology, and she never thought she'd need such a universal material. It's speculated that the Jade Record couldn't perceive her inner desires, so it gave her this universal material useful in any situation.

Needless to say, Proto-Matter solved her urgent needs, and now she decided to revise her original plan by intending to increase the construction efforts in Langton and the Empire's homeland, which naturally involves enormous resource consumption.

The primary reason Perfikot intended to abandon the homeland was the Empire's lack of resources, with most materials dependent on input from overseas colonies.

Once the apocalypse arrives, the connection between these overseas colonies and the Empire's homeland will be severed, making it difficult for the homeland to sustain the massive population and the related various expenses.

In fact, the current food shortage in the Empire is a direct result of the disrupted trade routes with the overseas colonies.

Thus, Perfikot initially abandoned the idea of preserving the Empire's homeland, planning instead to sacrifice the massive population there and start anew by building shelters in the Northern Territory.

Admittedly, this decision is cruel, but it's also highly effective.

At least now, although the Northern Territory cannot be described as peaceful, social conditions are stable, and even without Perfikot as the Lord, there haven't been any uprisings or similar issues.

However, the situation within the Empire's homeland is different. Due to the cut-off from overseas trade, not only food but also other materials have been significantly impacted.

Hence, neither the building materials needed for constructing shelters nor the high-quality steel and copper required for building Energy Towers are available in Langton.

This is why Perfikot did not previously attempt to improve conditions in the Empire's homeland through expanded construction; neither the Empire nor Perfikot had the resources to do so.

Even now, with Perfikot supplying Proto-Matter and the homeland no longer constrained by resources, it remains a challenging task to launch construction efforts like those in the Northern Territory within the homeland.

At the very least, when Perfikot raised this issue at the council meeting, there was immediate opposition.
