Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology
There are essentially two methods for obtaining nuclear energy.
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
Technically speaking, nuclear fission is much easier to achieve.
But that was on Earth.
From the day he began researching the nuclear industry, Yi Xuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the direction of nuclear fission.
With both the technological means and industrial capabilities that Yi Xuan possesses at this time, developing nuclear fission would not be a problem at all.
However, more than a month later, Yi Xuan's nuclear industry remained completely silent.
The reason is simple: Yi Xuan searched the entire Southern Frontier but couldn't find the nuclear material needed for nuclear fission, which is what we commonly call uranium-235.
Without nuclear materials, no matter how advanced Yi Xuan's technology is, it will be wasted.
In the end, Yi Xuan had no choice but to accept this reality and turn his attention to nuclear fusion.
Compared to uranium-235, the material needed for nuclear fission, the material needed for fusion is far too ordinary: the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium.
The former exists in large quantities in the ocean; there is approximately one deuterium atom for every 6,500 hydrogen atoms in seawater, and even on Earth, deuterium atoms are almost inexhaustible.
Obtaining tritium is much more complicated than obtaining deuterium, as it requires the use of lithium for extraction.
This time, the world finally stopped playing tricks on Yi Xuan; both deuterium and tritium can be extracted in this world.
Yi Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. While manufacturing the equipment needed for nuclear fusion, he also arranged for an engineering team to start building a factory in the Xia Kingdom.
Fortunately, the nuclear fusion technology that Yi Xuan possessed was controllable; otherwise, his research on new energy sources might have been aborted again.
More than a month after Yi Xuan returned to the Azure Cloud Sect, the Blood Asura Gate's affairs were finally discovered.
The news spread quickly; in less than three days, the entire Southern Frontier was abuzz with the news of the Blood Asura Gate's disappearance.
Many sects sent people to investigate after receiving the news. Although Yi Xuan cleaned up the battlefield when he left, some clues were still left behind.
Some people originally thought that the Blood Asura Gate had left the Southern Frontier and gone to other places to develop.
However, some people still noticed something amiss by looking for those subtle clues.
Soon, rumors spread throughout the Southern Frontier that the Blood Asura Gate had offended someone and been wiped out!
Upon receiving this news, all the sects in the Southern Frontier, whether third-rate or first-rate, became extremely cautious.
To be able to silently eliminate a second-rate top-tier force in the Southern Frontier, whether the opponent is an individual or an entire force, is no small feat.
Even the Azure Cloud Sect convened an emergency meeting with all its high-ranking members.
When Yi Xuan arrived, he was completely bewildered to discover that the meeting had been convened by the three elders, who had bypassed Cui Yan, the sect leader. This showed how much importance the three elders attached to this matter.
When the Blood Asura Gate was mentioned as being destroyed, everyone was incredibly surprised, except for Shi Zhenghao, who looked at Yi Xuan with a very strange expression.
Yi Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable watching this.
Finally, the meeting concluded with the three patriarchs' repeated admonitions, which can be summarized in one sentence.
Blood Asura Gate is finished. Although we are not Evil Dao sect, let's all keep a low profile!
As Yi Xuan returned home and was about to close the door, a hand stopped him.
The person who arrived was none other than Shi Zhenghao.
Shi Zhenghao pulled Yi Xuan into the bedroom and used his Divine Sense to perceive the surrounding situation.
Then, looking at Yi Xuan with disbelief, he asked, "You killed all the members of the Blood Asura Gate?"
Looking at Shi Zhenghao's wide eyes, Yi Xuan felt that if he just nodded, Shi Zhenghao might pounce on him and devour him.
Finally, seeing Yi Xuan shake his head, Shi Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then where did you put the remaining disciples? I heard that all the major sects are searching for the Blood Asura Gate's disciples with all their might, wanting to know about the Blood Asura Gate's annihilation, but they haven't found a single one!"
Hearing Shi Zhenghao's words, Yi Xuan smiled and said, "Senior brother, I think you're not worried about the Blood Asura Gate disciples being found, but rather that they won't be able to find those disciples!"
Shi Zhenghao, whose thoughts had been seen through, nodded. "I really hope they can find even one or two Blood Asura Gate disciples. That would at least prove that my junior brother isn't a bloodthirsty maniac!"
Yi Xuan knew that his senior brother was indeed concerned about him, so he raised his hand to look at the message on his bracelet, then looked at Shi Zhenghao: "Senior brother, didn't you want to know where those Blood Asura Gate disciples went? How about coming with me?"
As soon as Yi Xuan finished speaking, Shi Zhenghao shook his head frantically. "No, no! That's what you said to me last time, and the Blood Asura Gate was gone. I'm not going with you this time no matter what. You're all strong now, but I'm all skin and bones and can't take any more trouble!"
Regardless of Shi Zhenghao's wishes, Yi Xuan pulled him directly into the Firmament.
The two aboard the Firmament quickly arrived in western Xia Kingdom. Stepping off the plane, Shi Zhenghao looked at the strange buildings before him, then at Yi Xuan, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Tell me, which sect is it this time? I have no other requests, just please hurry up. Don't let it end like last time, where you almost got Spirit Transformation expert right in your face!"
"Spirit Transformation expert? From which Spirit Transformation expert?"
Shi Zhenghao turned around when he heard the sound, only to see that Zhuo Ning had appeared behind the two of them at some point.
Upon seeing Zhuo Ning's arrival, Shi Zhenghao immediately smiled and pointed at him, saying, "Where have you been, kid? I was planning to have a drink with you when I broke through to the Golden Core, but when I came out of the cave, you were already gone!"
"Don't ask me, I want to stay there too, but it's all because of your junior brother. He insisted that I help him become emperor!"
"Emperor?"
Shi Zhenghao looked at Zhuo Ning in disbelief. "Such a good thing?"
Seeing Yi Xuan nod, he quickly ran to Yi Xuan's side and said obsequiously, "Junior brother, see how good your senior brother is to you! With such a good opportunity, why didn't you think of your senior brother? How could Zhuo Ning be emperor? Senior brother is an expert in this area! As for the harem, I have no problem with it!"
Before Yi Xuan could even speak, Zhuo Ning shattered Shi Zhenghao's dream. "Three palaces and six courtyards? You're dreaming. I've been emperor for so long and I've never even seen what a harem is like. I'm overwhelmed with national affairs every day. If you want to come, I'll abdicate immediately!"
"Alright, it's about to begin. We can discuss anything else when you get back!"
Yi Xuan interrupted their conversation and walked towards the building in front of them.
Zhuo Ning followed closely behind, and although Shi Zhenghao didn't know where they were, he had no choice but to follow them in after seeing the two of them go inside.
At the entrance, Shi Zhenghao noticed a strange mark. The background was a yellow circle with a black dot in the center, surrounded by three black fan-shaped areas.
At the time, he didn't understand the meaning of the border on the symbol. It wasn't until sometime in the future that he learned the symbol represented nuclear energy.
