[Alliance Leader Bonus Chapter 3/10]
Feng Luoyi continued his introduction. "The core computational components are mainly three kinds of atoms: hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Carbon can be replaced with silicon. Apart from the core components, the rest are best made from atoms whose elemental forms are solids—carbon and metals are especially good. If those are unavailable, silicon, aluminum, and iron are also excellent choices..."
Wang Qi looked speechlessly at the sky. "Wait, wait... Teacher, whose design was this utterly deranged thing? This was clearly made to chew up the entire solar system, wasn't it?"
In the universe, the most abundant element was hydrogen. It had been the most basic and simplest atom to emerge at the dawn of creation. Back then, the entire universe had been nothing more than a pot of hot porridge made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and simply structured hydrogen atoms had appeared first. Helium came after that. The elements that followed could only be produced through stellar nuclear fusion.
A low-mass celestial body like the Divine Land's sun could only produce elements before carbon on the periodic table. Only massive celestial bodies dozens of times larger than the sun could create elements up to iron.
As for elements beyond iron, nuclear fusion no longer released energy but absorbed it instead. Thus, even ordinary stars would not produce them. Only after a supernova explosion would such elements be cast out in great quantities.
In other words, planets like the Divine Land or Earth, which were exceptionally rich in heavy elements, were actually the dying embers of supernova explosions.
This meant the universe was already extremely ancient, and generations of stars had risen and fallen countless times. After the most ancient stars had perished, their ashes had somehow gathered together once more through gravity, forming
