Leo didn't linger in the office tower; instead, he retrieved his custom-made equipment and returned to the Wizard Tower as quickly as possible.
Upon returning to the Wizard Tower, he immediately told Benji that he was going into seclusion to conduct experiments and not to be disturbed unless it was something important.
Ignoring Benji's hesitant and strange look, Leo closed the staircase leading from the third to the fourth floor of the tower.
"Lord Leo, you haven't given me my share of the profits yet."
Watching Leo disappear into the third floor, Benji muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, sounding aggrieved.
After ten years of hard work, leading ten mechanical slaves to cultivate two plots of land in the Wizard Tower area day and night.
The Fire Essence Flower is a delicate medicinal herb that Heavenly Capital. This kind of delicate work is beyond the capabilities of mechanical slaves, and only Benji himself can do it.
This kind of work, which requires patience, has nothing to do with ability; it relies entirely on repetition day after day.
In addition to this, Benji also had to take care of Leo's daily life. Although mechanical slaves could do the work, at the very least, Benji still needed to help with hunting.
After ten long years, I finally saw the results and was looking forward to earning ten energy crystals, but all I got was a message that I needed to go into seclusion.
The matter of the energy crystal was not mentioned at all. Benji couldn't be sure whether his master was really going into seclusion or just looking for an excuse to steal his energy crystal.
Benji hesitated for a long time at the foot of the wizard's tower, but still didn't have the courage to go upstairs and ask Leo for it.
My plan to save up some secret money has fallen through!
If Leo knew what Benji was thinking, he would definitely swear to God that he would never steal those ten energy crystals from him.
It was such a trivial matter that I completely forgot about it!
Benji looked towards the distant Ice palace. He could manage with his ten energy crystals, but he still owed Alice ten!
What an unreliable owner!
Helpless, Benji had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to Alice that it wasn't that his master was stingy and embezzled the money from selling the medicinal herbs; he had genuinely forgotten!
As for whether it's true or not, Benji himself remained skeptical...
As a third-level Benji who wanted to curry favor with a powerful figure, he had to do everything in his power to maintain his master's meager circle of friends. This was a good thing for his master; only when his master was doing well could he do well!!!
Let him suffer the loss!
Leo's mind was completely occupied with his new equipment, and he had no idea about those dozens of energy crystals.
On the fourth floor of the tower, apart from the laboratory room, Leo had opened up all the other rooms. Looking at the space of over 10,000 square meters, Leo was finally satisfied and took out a huge piece of equipment from the Shadow Space.
This is a super-large circular ring, made of a high-strength alloy barrier with a thickness of over ten meters, and engraved with reinforcing runes to ensure that the barrier will not break if the attack is below 30,000 points.
The interior is in a vacuum environment, and the Gravity, pressure, and temperature changes can be adjusted as required.
The rings are not completely connected at the ends; instead, there are two small mana concentration activation devices. As long as mana is input, the mana will be continuously compressed and, under controlled conditions, will explode violently according to instructions, with a power dozens of times that of high explosives.
The principle behind this device is Leo on the Large Hadron Collider on Earth. Although it is far less sophisticated than the Large Hadron Collider, the knowledge of the wizarding civilization system contained in this device is far beyond what Earth's technology can match.
At the very least, this seemingly rudimentary device cannot create an absolutely ideal experimental environment, even if the entire planet were to use all its resources.
"Now let me look at the specific changes that occur during nuclear fission."
Leo took out two tiny, pinhead-sized spheres of nuclear raw material and placed them at the end of the ring. Leo had precisely measured that each sphere of nuclear raw material weighed only 0.001 grams.
If, after stimulation, acceleration, and collision, the nuclear fission efficiency reaches 100%, then the yield would be 0.3% of the atomic bomb originally dropped on the island nation.
This power is the optimal observational experimental quality that Leo himself calculated after careful calculation. Both the energy burst and the quality operation meet Leo's current strength assessment standards.
With both hands placed on the magic activation device, magic power surged in continuously, and the magic circle began to light up, swallowing all the magic power sent by Leo.
Two seconds later, Leo activated the magic array, and the two ends of the large ring immediately unleashed a fierce bombardment, the energy burst directed directly at the two nuclear material spheres!!!
The imagined scenario of two nuclear spheres being launched at extremely high speeds and then colliding in the middle to cause nuclear fission did not occur.
Instead, with two loud 'bangs,' the two nuclear material spheres were directly blasted apart by the concentrated magical power, scattering like flowers in the air, and the large ring of blasts was filled with fine dust of nuclear material.
"The nuclear material spheres I created couldn't withstand the intense stimulation of magical power; their structural stability needs to be strengthened."
That's how experiments work: you discover problems, you solve problems, and when all the problems are solved, that's when you succeed.
The equipment customized by Leo was designed to observe the specific changes during nuclear fission, to find the patterns within it, and to strive for complete control over nuclear fission.
Leo was over 90% confident that as long as he fully grasped the laws of nuclear fission, even if the fission efficiency was only 30%, he could definitely advance to the level of Level One Elemental Wizard.
At that time, nuclear radiation will continue to accelerate cellular evolution and strengthen the physical body. After the physical body is strengthened, it will be able to withstand stronger nuclear fission reaction energy.
Elements and body refinement promote and enhance each other; this is Leo's path to becoming Elemental Body Refinement Wizard!
Just thinking about the future prospects is exciting!!!
Leo quickly solved the problem of unsuccessful activation. The method was very simple: put an outer shell around the nuclear material sphere, just enough to reach the limit of the activation device.
After only fifty adjustments, the nuclear material was launched perfectly.
The large ring contains twisted rune arrays and various isolation arrays to eliminate all interfering factors, allowing the two nuclear raw material spheres to collide at maximum speed in the most perfect state.
"Boom"
A slight explosion was heard, and two spheres containing only 0.001 grams of nuclear material were successfully detonated. The energy fluctuations from the explosion clearly indicated that a fission reaction occurred upon impact.
Leo smiled; the experiment was unexpectedly simple and went smoothly.
At the impact site, there was already a magnifying and transmission device that allowed Leo to see the detailed changes that occurred during the impact fission.
Even more detailed is the data displayed next to it. "Speed: 4500m/s, instantaneous energy burst upon impact: 10 points."
The data only shows these two points; the more accurate fission efficiency cannot be displayed, which Leo needs to calculate himself.
On the highest precision display projection requested by Leo, Leo saw wisps of faint clouds intertwining, merging, and then quickly separating.
Seeing this, Leo's brows furrowed so deeply they could have trapped a fly.
The atomic structure of uranium-235 consists of an atomic nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of 235 protons and 143 neutrons. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negatively charged.
Electrons move around the atomic nucleus in certain orbits, but their specific trajectories cannot be determined. They can only be considered as a whole as an electron cloud model.
This concludes the microscopic atomic model!
The particles are extremely small in size, yet the gaps between them are very large compared to their size.
Therefore, the probability of a neutron accurately colliding with another atomic nucleus during fission is extremely low. This is the fundamental reason for the low efficiency of fission—they simply can't collide!
At the moment of impact, some atomic nuclei fission, emitting neutrons, which in turn knock apart the nuclei of other atoms. The process of atomic nuclei splitting apart is called nuclear fission, which releases a large amount of energy.
Leo had learned all of this knowledge when he was in school, but he had long forgotten it after starting work. However, after becoming a wizard, all of these memories came back to him and were clearly engraved in his mind. Whenever Leo wanted, he could relearn this knowledge as easily as flipping through a book.
Earth's technology cannot control the nuclear fission process, and what Leo needs is precisely the detailed process of this fission.
But now, even after spending a fortune to build what is touted as the most sophisticated observation instrument in Green Cottage, he can only see a few blurry, cloud-like changes.
Leo knew that each cloud here represented an electron cloud, some represented neutrons, some represented uranium-235 that had not undergone fission, and some represented two newly generated particles after fission.
All the particles that appeared during the fission reaction were clearly presented to Leo. There were five colors in total, representing the five types of particles in the instrument after the fission occurred, showing the changes in particles before and after the reaction to Leo.
If this technology were on Earth, it would be considered top-secret black technology.
However, in Leo's eyes, the result he wanted was still a long way off.
He wanted to see the changes in each individual particle, not just the changes in the cloud of particles!
Despite not being satisfied with the equipment's precision, Leo still cleaned the remaining nuclear material inside the ring. Using wizard-like techniques, all foreign objects could be removed from the ring in a vacuum environment.
"The mass of uranium-235 was lost by only 0.0003 grams, and only 15% of the nuclear material participated in the reaction."
"The nuclear fission reaction efficiency of nuclear bombs made by humans on Earth is only a few parts per thousand, but I have increased it by a hundredfold."
While a hundredfold increase in nuclear fission efficiency is an exaggeration, it was within Leo's expectations. By leveraging the wizard civilization system to create the most perfect fission environment, it would be a mockery of the wizard civilization's incompetence if the fission efficiency remained at a low level of a few per thousand.
Having calculated the mass of nuclear materials involved in the fission reaction and now having specific attack figures, Leo has determined the amount of energy released during fission.
If 0.0003 grams of nuclear material undergoes complete fission, it generates 10 points of attack power. Therefore, if 0.3 grams of nuclear material undergoes complete fission, it generates 10,000 points of attack power!
0.3 grams of nuclear material is smaller than a mung bean. Such a tiny amount of nuclear material, upon complete fission, can unleash 10,000 points of attack power!!
0.3 grams = 10,000 attack points
Leo currently possesses over a ton of nuclear material within the Shadow Space...
