Once the plan was settled, Evil Green Onion and Breaking Bad joined forces.
Why didn't Xeno join them, you ask?
In his words, their personalities didn't mesh with his.
Li Xiang stared at him with dead-fish eyes. "Poser..."
Back to business, everyone threw themselves into their ultimate goal.
Landing on the moon! Unraveling the mystery of Why-man in outer space.
The resources of their rudimentary camp were nowhere near enough to build a spacecraft capable of reaching the moon.
After running through multiple scenarios, Senku and Xeno finally settled on their infrastructure plan.
They would build a brand-new industrial fortress around the Stone Sanctuary-the Superalloy City.
With the plan finalized, everyone immediately split up and got to work.
Their first scientific challenge was to master the extraction of rare atmospheric gases, laying the groundwork for the manufacturing to come.
Xeno quickly assembled a simple air-cooling and purification device. Once running, it continuously cooled and filtered the surrounding air, precisely separating out the argon present in extremely low concentrations.
He filled a sealed, evacuated glass tube with the purified argon and connected the circuit.
Watermelon watched from the sidelines, curiosity written all over his face, and couldn't resist asking a question.
"Um... doesn't air not conduct electricity? Why does it react when you fill it with gas and turn on the power?"
Xeno raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh, Mr. Watermelon, your grasp of the basics is certainly elegant. Under normal conditions, air is indeed an insulator and doesn't conduct electricity."
Li Xiang picked up the explanation, reaching over to help adjust the circuit's voltage.
"But under specific conditions, noble gases can conduct electricity. This phenomenon is called gas glow discharge."
"Simply put, we first need to artificially create charged particles so that a continuous electric current can flow through the normally
