Chapter 8: Gold Mine (2)
Jack was stunned. He'd been fantasizing before about being able to examine a cell at the atomic level, but this... this meant he could actually do as he fantasized. His interface told him he could examine a snapshot down to the level of detail available. That implied he could examine every single atom in a cell, and every single quark in an atom! He was certain there were many scientists who would happily sacrifice important body parts to gain access to this capability.
Even the Approximation level of detail was over powered. If he was reading the description correctly, all he needed to do was get within 100 kilometers of any secure military or government agency building and he could read everything they had. Nations would go to war to gain access to this capability, or to destroy it. For a moment, he felt like a multitude of unseen eyes were staring at him like hungry wolves. He shook off the sensation as nothing but paranoia. No one knew about the Genesis Heart, and it would stay that way as long as he didn't do anything stupid.
As for the nominal level of detail, it wasn't particularly noteworthy, and he wasn't certain how useful it would be unless he could extend the range to cover the entire planet. When he thought about extending the snapshot range, his focus shifted to the store catalog, and he discovered that four new items had appeared.
