The Concept of Fusion
"Well, these are my thoughts on developing Ice Release," the pink-haired girl said, spreading Sasuke hands. "How about it? Did you get any inspiration from them?"
"Hmm..." Sasuke's face showed the unique look of confusion characteristic of a yellow-haired fox.
He recognized every single character in Sakura Haruno's name. But when they were put together, he was completely baffled.
What are the physical properties of ice?
What about cold brittleness?
These two are alright. Although the terms are a bit obscure, they are actually common knowledge and easy to understand.
Later on, things like superconductors and superfluids were completely unheard of.
And what about vacuum zero-point energy?! It's ridiculously vast; does this kind of energy even exist?
To be honest, he had some concept of numbers over 100 million. After two hundred million, he started to feel dizzy; after three hundred million, Sasuke gradually felt lightheaded; over a billion, more than a hundred zeros?
--Excuse me, what is that? Counting zeros alone is driving me crazy!
So, how much larger are these numbers than one hundred million? They have a hundred more zeros than one hundred million, so they must be a hundred times larger, right?
"Yes, that must be it!" Sasuke nodded, seemingly understanding.
"I think I understand! But your way of thinking really doesn't offer any useful insights for my Ninjutsu development!" Sasuke shook his head, snapping himself out of his daze. "So, Sakura, do you really need to make developing a Ninjutsu this complicated?"
Normal Ninjutsu development should involve things like Kakashi and his team finding a secluded training ground or open space to continuously experiment and research how to improve Ninjutsu and how to utilize Chakra, right?
Who would start by taking a pen and paper and scribbling away, filling it with calculations and formulas like a book? As a ninja, is that even acceptable? Sasuke certainly wouldn't do that.
"Is this really that complicated?" Sakura Haruno herself was quite confused; it was just using common sense to extend and apply Chakra...
She shook her head and skipped the section. Many things that were common sense to her were as difficult to understand as a book to the ninjas.
For example, ninjas don't need to understand the principles of cold brittleness; they only need to know that many things become brittle when exposed to cold. But Sakura has a habit of thoroughly researching things, and many of her powerful Ninjutsu were created because of this habit.
This is the difference between a craftsman and a scientist.
Of course, Sakura herself can be considered a scientist whose craftsmanship far surpasses that of others.
"I don't have a good idea for developing that vacuum zero-point energy in the short term, but considering the energy source of the Yin Seal," she gave a mysterious smile, "I have a better and more realistic solution."
"Didn't you say you wanted to use energy from the power plant?"
"That's right, but that's just a temporary measure..." Sakura nodded. "It's too troublesome to have to find a power plant to recharge every time I use up my Chakra. The ultimate goal of the Yin Seal should be to seal a long-term energy source within my body, continuously supplying me with energy."
Sasuke curled his lip in disbelief. "A long-term energy source? Is there really such a convenient and easy-to-use thing?"
Of course there are...
Isn't nuclear energy one of them?
It can release enormous energy using only a small amount of raw materials.
In the previous world, there were two ways to use nuclear energy: one was to use nuclear reactors to generate electricity continuously, and the other was to use nuclear materials to create nuclear bombs, which would release nuclear energy instantaneously.
Correspondingly, she can also adopt the same approach to deal with protracted battles or high-intensity battles that break out suddenly.
The first approach is to seal the nuclear reactor with Yin Seal, absorb it into Sakura's body, and then continuously draw its energy to nourish Sakura Haruno.
The energy output of the reactor can be freely controlled; only the intensity of the nuclear reaction needs to be managed. This concept will be tested after the completion of Phase 3 of the Yin Seal. Phase 3 of the Yin Seal can extract a huge amount of electrical energy from the power plant, so with slight modifications, extracting a huge amount of nuclear energy will not be a problem.
The second approach is to directly create a Ninjutsu -type nuclear bomb.
The basic principle is very clear: a nuclear bomb is simply another reactor that releases most of its nuclear energy instantly. Engineering problems can be solved using Sealing Jutsu techniques and Ninjutsu. It must be admitted that using Chakra to develop science and weapons is much simpler and more convenient than in the previous world.
The destructive power of nuclear weapons goes without saying. This weapon, at the very least, is capable of annihilating a city, and any educated modern person is well aware of its devastating power.
Compare this to Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan: Naruto is said to be able to use only a few Wind Release: Rasengan even when he uses up all his Chakra, and the explosion only destroys living things at the cellular level. In contrast, the temperature at the center of a nuclear explosion can reach tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of degrees, and the huge fireball generated in an instant can evaporate and vaporize everything in its path.
The difference in power between these two is like the difference between land and earth. Compared to a nuclear bomb, this Chakra dumpling is completely insignificant.
The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is already one of the most powerful techniques in the Shinobi World. Even in the final battle, this Rasengan with Nature Transformation was a high-level Ninjutsu that could be used for direct confrontation. However, compared to nuclear weapons, it is still worlds apart.
In short, regardless of whether Sasuke understood or not, Sakura proceeded to bombard him with a whole explanation of nuclear reactions.
"Stop!"
Sasuke dizzy and disoriented. He was already feeling dizzy enough from her explanation of low temperatures, and now she had given him a long and rambling explanation of nuclear energy that he found both incomprehensible and impressive. He felt as if he had been attacked by a powerful Genjutsu, and the ground was almost upside down.
"You've talked so much, it's all your own ideas for developing Ninjutsu, right? It sounds pretty impressive, but hold on, I don't understand! Didn't you say you needed my help with something?" He rubbed his temples, looking extremely troubled, and asked, "What is it?"
"By the way, let me just say, please don't drag me into developing this Ninjutsu for you. Just hearing about it gives me a headache!"
Sakura immediately glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry! I'm not asking you to help develop Ninjutsu," she said, pursing her lips. "Help me look up information on your Uchiha and see if there's any kind of mysterious stone or mineral that, if you come into contact with it for a long time, will make you weak or sick."
The ore that Sakura Haruno is using is uranium ore.
The radioactivity of uranium ore is mainly manifested in the radioactive nuclides it contains. Long-term exposure can easily cause damage to the human body due to radioactive decay, and may even lead to cancer.
Not only is purified uranium-5 the main raw material for atomic bombs or fission reactors, but the nuclear fusion reactor or hydrogen bomb that Sakura hopes to achieve also requires uranium fission for ignition.
In short, uranium mines were the source of all these ideas.
