Liu Di treated it like a priceless treasure.
He immediately examined the atomic structure before him.
This Qi'ao element was clearly the most unusual presence within the entire rock.
"I found it!"
Magic Child cried out, "The neutron count in the nucleus of solid Qi'ao is one greater than that of Qi'ao! It is actually an isotope of Qi'ao—brothers, in a sense!"
Immediately after.
A structural comparison of the two elements appeared in Liu Di's view.
Within the nucleus of solid Qi'ao, a tiny red sphere stood out conspicuously. This was the extra neutron compared to the rare gas Qi'ao!
Its presence increased the element's stability, allowing it to remain solid.
Magic Child said in astonishment, "The secret within this meteorite should be this isotope of Qi'ao."
"Judging from its atomic structure, it is extremely precise and stable. However, as long as even the slightest external force intrudes, that balance will be destroyed, and its atomic structure will undergo earth-shaking changes."
Liu Di was equally astonished.
Compared to the entire meteorite, this tiny neutron was simply too insignificant.
He had only been able to discover it because of a supercomputer like Magic Child.
But.
Liu Zhengqing, more than twenty years ago, had actually possessed this level of technology and observational ability?
After a moment of silence.
Liu Di worked to sort through his thoughts. "So, this isotope of Qi'ao is the energy source?"
Magic Child pondered. "No. We restricted our own thinking before. There was never any energy source within this meteorite. Instead, it contains a catalyst—the Qi'ao element!"
"According to my estimate, it needs to collide with an element that has a stable molecular structure, disrupting the neutron sequence and thereby producing enormous energy."
Liu Di nodded in realization.
This meteorite had brought an entirely new energy technology. The
