He looked around, his gaze locking onto a small Electric Grinder nearby that was polishing parts. The machine was running, the Electric Motor buzzing softly, and its casing was slightly warm to the touch.
He walked over and gently placed his hand on the casing of the Grinding Machine's Electric Motor, closing his eyes to focus.
Yes! That familiar warmth surged back! Although it was weaker than the Diesel Generator, it felt more "pure," lacking the heat generated by an internal combustion engine. He could clearly feel that his Mental Power was recovering faster than simply sitting still!
"Effective! Electricity really works!"
He moved towards a recently turned-off High-Power Incandescent Lamp, which still radiated heat. He didn't touch it directly but hovered his hand near the bulb to feel the scorching warmth. This time, aside from feeling his face being heated, he sensed no energy flowing in.
"It seems that static thermal energy is not very effective, or perhaps I can't absorb it? The key seems to lie in energy that is 'flowing' or 'transforming,' like the electromagnetic conversion when the Electric Motor is running, or..."
His gaze shifted to the wall where the Main Power Switch exposed thick copper wires!
There lay the most direct and powerful source of energy—City Electricity!
A bold yet dangerous idea surged into his mind. Directly absorbing City Electricity?! That could be 220V or even 380V industrial power! He had personally experienced electric shocks in his past life; the numbness and excruciating pain...
"No risk, no gain! To uncover the mystery of this Ability, taking some risks is worth it!" Jiang Tao took a deep breath, his expression becoming intensely focused. He found a thick wire used for connections, insulated with thick Insulating Rubber, and put on a pair of dry Rubber Gloves.
Carefully, he stripped one end of the wire to expose the copper and tentatively placed it against the copper post representing the Fire Line beneath the main switch. Then, with his gloved fingers gripping tightly onto the insulated part of the wire, he closed his eyes and pushed his Mental Power to its limit while mentally issuing a command to "absorb"!
Boom!
It felt as if an invisible valve had been opened! A surge of energy far more powerful than that from the Grinding Machine and Electric Motor rushed through the wire into his body like a warm torrent, directly feeding into his parched Mental Power reservoir!
The sensation was akin to a long-awaited rain after a drought or connecting a nearly depleted battery to a high-capacity Charger! Although the recovery speed of his Mental Power still couldn't match natural recovery during sleep, it was at least ten times faster than absorbing energy from the Electric Motor!
"Success! It really works! Directly absorbing electrical energy is the most efficient!" Jiang Tao felt ecstatic but didn't dare continue for too long; on one hand, he worried about whether his body could handle it, and on the other hand, he feared triggering an anomaly in the electric meter. He quickly disconnected the wire.
Though it was only a brief "charging" of just over ten seconds, he distinctly felt that his Mental Power fatigue had eased by at least two or three times! The effect was remarkable!
He sat back down in his chair, his heart racing with excitement and apprehension. He struggled to calm himself as thoughts raced through his mind about what he had just discovered.
"No doubt about it; my Mental Power can indeed absorb external energy for replenishment. The best effects come from operating Electric Motors and flowing currents, especially direct contact with City Electricity being the most efficient. While it's still not as fast as sleeping, it's definitely an effective 'recharge' method! It's like... having a slow-charging power bank for my Ability!"
"What does this mean?" Jiang Tao's eyes sparkled with realization. "It means I can operate my Ability for longer periods and at higher intensities! I’ll have more confidence in repairing those complex devices! Even... my long-stalled Part Manufacturing plan due to high energy consumption can be reconsidered for small-scale production!"
The sword of "Mental Power endurance," which had always hung over him like a cloud, finally had a way to alleviate its burden! Although it wasn't a complete solution, it undoubtedly opened up infinite possibilities for his future development!
"However..." After excitement came calmness as Jiang Tao quickly collected himself. "This secret is even more astonishing than my repair ability itself! I mustn't let anyone know! Moreover, direct contact with City Electricity is too risky; I need to find safer and more discreet 'charging' methods. Also, there's a slight difference between absorbed energy and naturally recovered energy—could there be side effects? All these need careful exploration..."
He stood up again and walked back to that old Diesel Generator, contemplating this unexpected surprise brought by this "iron lump."
"Perhaps... I could get a small, more efficient Generator or Electric Motor to keep in my space? Or maybe design a concealed Energy Supplement Interface right on my workbench?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another.
In any case, tonight's unexpected "New Awakening of Abilities" was like a ray of light breaking through the clouds, revealing the dawn of a breakthrough beyond his own limitations! He felt as if he was filled with boundless power, ready to embrace a broader world and face even more daunting challenges!
