"By using a magnetic field to confine it, the temperature of Wind Thunder True Qi rose sharply, electrolyzing the moisture in the air into oxygen and hydrogen. Clumps of oxygen and hydrogen released energy and light during their combination, ultimately producing this... True Qi that resembled Ball Lightning?"
This proved one thing...
True Qi really seemed to have only one form. He wanted to refine True Qi into True Essence, and then into a Golden Core...
But he still couldn't do it.
However...
This research had not been fruitless.
Since he could electrolyze water into oxygen and hydrogen, his next step could be to use "spirit" to precisely separate hydrogen's isotopes—protium, deuterium, and tritium. If he did that...
Wouldn't he have the primary materials for nuclear fusion?
After going around in circles, he had actually returned to the starting point.
"The lighter the atomic nucleus, the greater the speed at which it overcomes the Coulomb barrier, and the higher the temperature. This can be represented by F=k×q1×q2/r. Therefore, protium fusion requires temperatures of over a hundred million degrees, while tritium only requires temperatures in the millions. However, in hydrogen atoms, protium accounts for ninety-nine percent."
Baili Qingfeng focused his mind, pouring all his energy into the Spirit Refinement Tenth Stage mental realm.
The Spirit Refinement Tenth Stage could interfere with matter!
Not only on the macroscopic level, but the microscopic level as well.
The problem was that the human brain's computational power was limited. When his spirit focused on a stone, he could clearly distinguish that it was a stone. But all things in the world were composed of molecules and atoms, and stones were no exception. If he focused his spirit on the microscopic level and analyzed a stone's structure from that perspective, the computational load his brain had
