Saintess: We Don't Know Either, and We Don't Dare Ask

Is it difficult to create such a method?

Disaster!

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!

As far as Qi Zixiao knew, there were other similar techniques in the Cultivation World, such as using flames, high temperatures, and so on to harm enemies.

There are even methods that protect the body from high temperatures, making them impervious to all attacks. Back then, an "old monster" relied on his self-created secret technique to run rampant for a long time.

Although she didn't know exactly how high the temperature of the magic created by that old monster was, Qi Saintess estimated that it definitely wouldn't exceed one hundred million degrees!

Absolutely not!

Moreover, it is very likely to be very different. It could reach the temperature of the sun's core, or even be twice as high, which would be the absolute maximum.

So, if one were to create such a terrifying spell with a temperature exceeding one hundred million degrees, how many people would be able to withstand it?

Of course, this is not so easy to create.

If a cultivator were to create this kind of spell, how would they do it?

The thought process must be: how to increase the temperature? Boiling the True Essence? Or cultivating some kind of fire-attribute technique? What to add to aid combustion?

In summary, it boils down to just one sentence.

Cultivators create their own methods primarily through their own efforts, refining existing theories while incorporating their own understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

However, nature won't tell people how to create a terrifying temperature of 100 million degrees.

However, the scientific theory is now available.

However, it is not yet mature and cannot reach the envisioned temperature of over 100 million degrees.

So, what if I combined existing scientific theories with methods of cultivation? Wouldn't I be able to instantly complete more than half the journey and arrive directly at the finish line?!

Thinking of this, Lin·Purple Firmament suddenly looked up at Mo Dangzhen, her gaze burning. "I need to know exactly how you generated a temperature of one hundred million degrees!"

"Huh? This..."

Mo Dangzhen was slightly taken aback, then said, "This is no longer a secret. Simply put, it involves using a fourth-generation fully superconducting tokamak Nuclear Fusion experimental device to continuously fuse hydrogen atoms into Helium Atom, thereby generating temperatures and heat several times that of the sun..."

Lin·Purple Firmament: "..."

What are hydrogen Helium Atom?

I don't understand at all, okay?

She was a little overwhelmed, but she couldn't ask now, or she would seem too stupid.

but...

Our Qi Saintess is quite clever.

A thought suddenly popped into her head.

The principle is unclear?

Let's solve the problem of stable operation first!

Once it's running stably, I'll ask for a copy of the principles and study them slowly when I get back! I'll have plenty of time then.

That's what we'll do!

Thinking of this, Lin·Purple Firmament said, "Academician Mo, the problem that is currently troubling you is... the temperature is too high, and the Electromagnetic Field cannot withstand it?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Mister Lin to know about this?"

Mo Dangzhen said with some surprise, "Currently, our solution is to use a magnetic field to confine high-temperature Helium Atom in a vacuum environment. The magnetic confinement allows the Helium Atom to suspend and not contact the inner wall of the container. At the same time, because a vacuum does not conduct heat, it can reach very high temperatures."

"But this also has its limits. At least our current theories and methods are far from being able to achieve stable operation over a long period of time, and much more research is needed."

"Since a vacuum does not conduct heat..."

At this moment, the Seventh Elder suddenly asked, "Then why is it unable to operate stably due to the problem of excessively high temperature?"

"..."

Although the question was a bit naive for Mo Dangzhen, the person who asked it was the Seventh Elder, so he couldn't just ignore it, and mocking him was out of the question.

Therefore, he could only say, "A vacuum does not conduct heat, but it only does not conduct heat."

"Heat transfer occurs in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction and convection cannot travel in a vacuum, but radiation can. For example, the sun's heat reaches the Earth through radiation!"

"But thermal radiation is an electromagnetic wave, and so is light. It travels fastest in a vacuum and slows down in other media. However, radiation itself is a form of energy, not 'heat.' This is some technical knowledge."

"That's why there's the saying that a vacuum doesn't conduct heat!"

"Simply put, there is a difference between the two, but radiation itself still generates heat."

"We can use magnetic fields to eliminate or resist some of the effects, but we cannot resist them all, nor can we resist them for a long time."

"Therefore, when the temperature rises to a certain level, or remains there for a period of time, it will no longer be able to operate stably."

Mo Dangzhen offered an explanation.

The Seventh Elder understood about 60-70%, while Lin·Purple Firmament... probably about 20-30%.

However, these two or three layers are precisely where the key issues lie.

"So, your current predicament is that the Electromagnetic Field strength is insufficient to withstand the thermal radiation generated by the Artificial Sun for a long time and completely?"

"Yes, Mister Lin." Mo Dangzhen looked at Lin·Purple Firmament expectantly, hoping she could come up with a solution.

It wasn't that he was delusional.

Rather, it's the word 'immortal' that holds such a high place in the hearts of Hua Nation!

It is almost a symbol of omnipotence.

Although cultivators are not yet immortals, they are not much different from ordinary people.

What do you think?

The Seventh Elder had no particular ideas.

He's not a researcher; it's already good enough if he can understand 50% or 60%. Asking him to come up with a solution?

Isn't this asking the impossible?

"..."

What do I think?

Lin·Purple Firmament frowned slightly.

She understood the difficulty: simply put, current man-made Electromagnetic Field cannot withstand thermal radiation for extended periods.

According to Mo Dangzhen's theory, radiation is actually a type of electromagnetic wave.

So, in other words, we need to create an Electromagnetic Field that can withstand electromagnetic waves for a long time!

Can matter withstand temperature?

Lin·Purple Firmament wasn't that naive.

What kind of substance can withstand a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius?

Imperial weapon?

Perhaps an Imperial Weapon could withstand it, but that's only a possibility. Besides, where would Earth get an Imperial Weapon? And if everyone had Imperial Weapons, would they still need Artificial Sun to provide energy -> convert it into electricity -> set up an array to absorb Star Power -> convert it into spiritual energy?

Why go through all that trouble!

So there's really no way to withstand this with matter; the temperature is too high. The only solution is to create an Electromagnetic Field that can withstand or counteract the heat radiation for a long time.

Thinking about this, Lin·Purple Firmament couldn't help but start pondering.

"Electromagnetic Field..."

"So, what if we used Electromagnetic Field to form an array?"

"Electromagnetic Field can be arrayed, or rather, arrays are a kind of extremely complex Electromagnetic Field."

"Logically speaking, if we arrange the Electromagnetic Field they are currently using into a corresponding array, with each magnetic field serving as the Array Foundation, perhaps this problem can be solved?"

In Lin·Purple Firmament's opinion, the current scattered magnetic field is already enough to sustain the energy for several minutes, and the highest temperature exceeds 60 million degrees Celsius.

So, if it were made into a formation, it might actually work!

However, she was not particularly proficient in the art of formations, and her understanding of formations was limited to some commonly used ones.

This kind of array that isolates heat radiation is clearly not within the scope of the commonly used arrays she has learned.

Thinking of this, she looked at the Seventh Elder: "I need all the relevant data on the Artificial Sun, including data on the magnetic field that isolates and counteracts thermal radiation!"

Didn't that guy say I was aloof?

Then I'll show you how aloof I can be!

Anyway, I won't say why, I'll just say I want it, let's see if you give it to me or not!

Hmph!

Upon Mo Dangzhen's eyes lit up.

The Seventh Elder couldn't help but give Lin a deep look before saying, "On the premise that you do not disclose the top-secret information, I can make the decision to give it to you."

"Then bring it here!"

Lin·Purple Firmament reached out her hand directly.

The Seventh Elder was immediately at a loss for words. "..."

"I'll go get it for you!"

Mo Dangzhen took off running, showing no signs of her advanced age.

Once Mo Dangzhen had run far away, the Seventh Elder whispered, "Mister Lin, if I may ask, how confident are you?"

He's really looking forward to it!

If Lin Fan can really solve the current problem of Artificial Sun, the benefits will be enormous!

First of all, electricity is no longer a problem, and we can immediately begin setting up the array to Spiritual Qi Revival!

Secondly... how much manpower and material resources can be saved?

This is clean energy! The kind that doesn't produce nuclear waste!

The benefits are enormous!

Killing several birds with one stone, how could he not pay attention?

However...

Lin·Purple Firmament gave an answer that nearly made the Seventh Elder vomit blood.

I won't tell you!

Seventh Elder: "￣__￣||...???"

I'm totally ripping open!

Half an hour later, Lin·Purple Firmament, carrying top-secret documents containing all the relevant information about the Artificial Sun, boarded a private jet and left the area...

The Seventh Elder and Mo Dangzhen looked at each other.

After a long silence, Mo Dangzhen asked softly, "Seventh Elder, do you think this Mister Lin can succeed?"

Seventh Elder: "..."

I won't tell you!

Mo Dangzhen: "Me???"

puff...

Do you think you're funny?

You're insane!

We're not children anymore. This is a huge matter. As the person in charge of the Artificial Sun project for so many years, what's wrong with me asking about it?

You actually gave me this answer?

I was completely dumbfounded!

Mo Dangzhen's expression was incredibly resentful.

But when the Seventh Elder saw his expression, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tsk tsk tsk, let me show you how I felt just now, is that alright?

Then, the Seventh Elder turned and left, not giving Mo Dangzhen any time to ask further questions...

Back in C City, Lin·Purple Firmament went straight to the Greenhouse Area and found Old Chen and Zhou Xiaoran, along with Zhou Na, who was just passing by.

"Come on, I've got something good to show you!"

Insert the USB drive into the computer that Old Chen brought, and then...

Lin·Purple Firmament stood to the side.

Old Chen scratched his forehead. "What are you looking at? Why don't you show us?"

Lin·Purple Firmament: "..."

Do I have to tell you even though I don't know how to use a computer?!

She remained calm and said, "Old Chen, you should do it. You definitely know more about this than we do."

"You're being all mysterious again."

Old Chen didn't hesitate; he stepped forward and opened the file.

Then...

"Whoa?!"

"Information on Artificial Sun? You... you're not planning to develop that technology, are you?!"

Honestly, even writing something so marginal, I still feel unsure of myself...

I hope I don't wake up to another 404 error message this morning; it's driving me crazy!
