The Supernatural Under a Scientific Worldview Is Also Science!

Amazed by Zhou Qing and the others' prowess, Riko quickly gathered her thoughts and raised her hand to press on the side of the Soul Guidance Searchlight mounted on her adventurer's hat.

Instantly, a white light shone from the lamp opening, and the range of light diffusion could be adjusted by stretching the distance of the lamp opening.

It is small enough to form a thin line the size of a fist, which can shine nearly 300 meters away.

It is large and can form a bright area, especially in the dark of the first level, this Soul Guidance Searchlight is like a small sun.

"Oops, I made a mistake. I need to conserve my Soul Power."

Riko quickly turned off the searchlight, then pressed another button on her adventurer's hat. The searchlight came back on, but this time the light was much weaker than before, though still enough to provide illumination.

Zhou Qing also keenly noticed that this time the light shone without any fluctuation of Soul Power; it seemed to be shining naturally.

The only energy source that can emit light is Soul Power, but this time—

Could it be Electricity?

And this Soul Guidance Searchlight has two lighting systems installed?

Tang San, who was most sensitive to Soul Tool, didn't just think about it in his mind like Zhou Qing did. Instead, he asked directly, "This time, the glow didn't seem to be caused by the use of Soul Power?"

"I need to conserve the Soul Power in the Soul Tool Energy Storage Device, and my own Soul Power is not enough, so the Soul Guidance Searchlight must be used at critical moments."

As Riko walked into the cave, she explained to Tang San, "The light emitted by the Soul Guidance Searchlight is powered by the Electricity released by the battery."

Electricity?

Apart from Zhou Qing, everyone else, including Tang San, fell silent.

The residents of Abyss Town are not particularly special in their cultivation, but they have actually been able to control the energy of "lightning" and use it in their daily tools?

Tang San wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he was worried that it was someone else's secret and he shouldn't pry. For a moment, he felt a little itchy and restless.

Riko asked curiously, "Don't the people outside control Electricity?"

Tang San: "..."

Realizing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhou Qing spoke up, saying, "It's probably because we outsiders like fighting Soul Fight, which means we don't have the time or energy to study things related to Electricity."

"Oh."

Riko nodded, naively believing this explanation, and then explained, "Actually, Electricity isn't a secret. For example, the battery I mentioned is made by putting two different metals into a liquid that corrodes metals, such as acid or alkali, and then connecting the two ends of the metals together to create a discharge device. The basic principle of discharge is—"

"Metals that are easily corroded will generate electricity, called electrons, which will transfer to the side of the metal that is not easily corroded. That's right, electricity will only be generated when they are connected; otherwise, they will just corrode quickly. Moreover, the materials of the metals must not be the same."

"The side that produces electrons is called the negative electrode, and the side that receives electrons is called the positive electrode."

"Why put it in a liquid that can corrode metal? Because during the corrosion process, the two positive and negative components in the corrosive liquid will go to different metals respectively, thus allowing the electricity to form a cycle."

Because some unfamiliar words appeared in Riko's description, Tang San was unable to recover his senses for a short time.

Romantina, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng were completely bewildered and didn't understand what was going on.

What are positive and negative electrodes?

What are the two positive and negative components of a corrosive solution?

They knew absolutely nothing!

Especially the latter, which is clearly an acidic or alkaline solution, it should only contain one component, so why are there two?

Do they even distinguish between positive and negative?

But Zhou Qing was different. He understood completely, and the chemical reaction formula of the Galvanic Cell, forgotten in a corner of his memory, was relentlessly impacting his brain—

Oh my god!

This Douluo Continent is actually based on science!

As expected of Planet -based universe worldview!

Zhou Qing now has every reason to suspect:

The technology used in this Abyss Ruins may not only be based on a system built on Soul Power, but may also include a scientific system built under the modern scientific perspective.

Tang San was the second to react.

It's not that he understands the principles of converting chemical energy into electrical energy in modern science, but rather that he was Daoism in his previous life and had knowledge of Yin-Yang Theory.

That is, all things are evolved from the two energies of Yin and Yang.

Inheriting the simple concepts left by the sages when they explored the world, it is not too difficult for Tang San to understand that an acid or a base is composed of two different, smaller substances, namely "positive" and "negative," and that a metal may be composed of only "yin" or only "yang."

When the yin and yang energies circulate and form a cycle, they may release energy, which is then used to evolve all things...

Tang San's thoughts had already drifted to the origins of the world.

Before long, the group reached the end of the cave, where there was a huge opening. An iron ladder was installed on the side near the rock wall, obviously left by previous explorers.

Zhou Qing wanted to go down first, but Riko stopped him, saying, "I am your guide. How can I let the guests go down first? I will go first. If there is any danger, you can run away first."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't press the matter. He would just focus his attention on her later.

Riko grabbed the ladder and climbed down, followed closely by Zhou Qing, then Romantina and Xiao Wu, then Wang Sheng, and finally Tang San.

"Speaking of which, the first level is 500 meters from the ground. How far is the Second Layer from the ground?" Xiao Wu asked Riko was crawling at the bottom.

"One kilometer."

After answering, Riko also described the distances of all the currently explored levels from the ground. "The Third Layer is 2,000 meters from the ground, the Fourth Layer is 4,000 meters, the Fifth Layer is 8,000 meters, the Sixth Layer is 16,000 meters, and the Seventh Layer is 32,000 meters."

"A multiple increase?" Tang San asked in surprise. "Doesn't that mean the Twelfth Layer is 1,024,000 meters above the ground?"

"That's the speculation, but we'll have to explore to be completely certain how deep it is," Riko very meticulously.

After descending nearly 300 meters, the space below gradually opened up and became brighter, unlike the darkness of the first floor, but it didn't seem to be daytime either, but rather a hazy, overcast sky.

Riko turned off her searchlight and looked down. All she could see were trees, and a thick fog covered the area.

It is foreseeable that once inside, the visible range will be at most twenty or thirty meters.

"This is the Second Layer of the Abyss Ruins. Nearly seven-tenths of the area is rainy all year round, and the air is very humid. It is known as the Mist Forest."

Based on her knowledge, Riko described the situation on the Second Layer to Zhou Qing and the others. "On this Second Layer, there are all sorts of ferocious creatures, and even a Strange Bird that can mimic a little girl's crying to lure people over to investigate, then surround and hunt them down..."
