This seemingly subtle coincidence of elements sent Chen Jue's thoughts leaping in a new direction.
While browsing the modern disciplines collected at the base, Chen Jue had specifically added "nuclear reactions" and "nuclear physics" as keywords.
The relevant knowledge stored in his mind now rivaled the holdings of the best-stocked world-class university library.
Thus, after "seeing" the elemental composition of his own body in the microscopic world, Chen Jue's thoughts involuntarily jumped to the star that had the most profound influence on humanity-the sun.
After all, the opportunity to grasp the theory of Void Level cultivation this time had come from Einstein's mass-energy equation, "E=mc^2," which Academician Huang had mentioned in passing.
The applications of energy derived from this equation, as well as nuclear reaction technology, had likewise had an extremely profound influence on humanity.
In Chen Jue's view, traditional cultivation methods could not reach into the microscopic world or achieve "Shatter the Vacuum" on atoms at the microscopic level.
Yet humanity's applications of nuclear physics had accomplished this impossibility toward the end of the Second World War in the previous century.
The key breakthrough actually lies in nuclear reaction technology!
Well, this really is... thanks to our buddies next door who took two atomic bombs! Chen Jue laughed inwardly at the absurdity.
Since the path of his predecessors would not work, he would take the path of modern people instead. After all, he was no stickler for tradition.
In Chen Jue's view, to deal with this microscopic world of atoms that had left him helpless, he had to use microscopic means to intervene.
Humanity's nuclear reaction technology currently followed two paths.
One was the familiar technology of nuclear fission, which used thermal neutrons to bombard uranium-235 atoms and create a chain reaction. Current nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors aboard
