They Were Supposed to Be Cultivating, Yet They Were Doing This?!
"Brush"
Upon entering the main hall, Mu Fan's attention was immediately drawn to a statue.
It was a figure sitting on a throne.
The person who made this statue must have possessed exceptional craftsmanship.
Although it was made of ordinary stone, the figure sitting on the throne looked as if it were a True Person.
His expression was calm, and his eyelids were slightly lowered.
Looking down from the entrance, the first impression is that you are being looked down upon.
Although it is a statue, it really gives people a feeling of being observed.
After pausing for a moment, Mu Fan exclaimed in admiration.
"Excellent craftsmanship, truly lifelike."
After saying that, Mu Fan walked around the statue and looked behind it.
There was a similar throne there, but it was much more normal in size.
However, at this point, only a pile of dust remained on top.
Seeing this, Mu Fan couldn't help but click his tongue and mutter softly.
"It must be the Power of Time, terrifying indeed. Judging from this, will he turn to ashes right here on the throne?"
This judgment is based on the fact that the fly ash on the throne and directly in front of it is significantly thicker than in other areas.
Mu Fan stepped forward and examined the throne carefully. He indeed did not see any mechanisms or similar devices. He pushed it, but the entire chair remained motionless, as if it were welded to the ground.
Standing on the throne, looking around, the entire hall contained nothing but stone carvings and the statue.
"That's truly annihilation. But isn't it a bit too clean?"
"I've come all this way, I can't just be asked to look at the scenery."
After saying that, Mu Fan recalled the system.
"Scout out the city and then give me a 3D model, you understand what I mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system responded.
"Clear."
Then there was no further movement.
Mu Fan's lips curled slightly as he took out a recliner, sat down, put his arms behind his head, and lay down.
"There are some things that the system still needs; it has more power. This place is affecting my mental probing, but it's clear from this that it can't affect the system."
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the system's voice sounded in Mu Fan's ear.
"Marshal Mu, it's all built for you. Would you like to see it?"
"Certainly."
Mu Fan nodded.
"Brush--"
The next moment, the entire city appeared in Mu Fan's field of vision.
"Was the main body originally located directly below?"
Looking at the situation, Mu Fan couldn't help but smile and say.
"You're quite good at hiding it."
Beneath the city on the ground lies a much wider, even larger area, like a thick tray supporting the entire city in the air.
After zooming in on the scene and taking a moment to examine it closely, Mu Fan shook his head.
"It seems like things are going to get back to normal. Let's just make it simple."
At that moment, Mu Fan stood up and used the Mirror Realm once again.
This time, the view before me suddenly opened up; there were no buildings, only a vast open space and some familiar objects.
Mu Fan stepped forward, then with a thought, took out a piece of high-abundance uranium that the system had rewarded him with, and picked up another piece from the ground.
After comparing the two, Mu Fan nodded slightly after a moment.
"Indeed, this is the source of the radiation."
What's laid out on the ground is clearly uranium that has undergone refining.
Although the level of refinement seems limited, not as good as what the system gave them, the scale is still quite astonishing.
The space was by no means low, yet these things filled an entire corner.
Upon seeing so much uranium, Mu Fan did not rush to put it away, but instead looked around at other areas.
He possessed high-abundance uranium, and he had studied and used it for a considerable period of time, so he had a general idea of its radiation intensity.
Even if all of it were high-abundance uranium of the same quality that I had, simply piling it up here would probably not have such a wide impact.
There must be others here!
After saying this softly, Mu Fan turned his attention elsewhere.
Sure enough, he soon stopped at a certain place.
Unlike uranium, which was simply piled up, it was surrounded by walls with large crosses carved into them.
Seeing this, Mu Fan's face clearly showed great interest, and he immediately asked the system a question.
"Master, what's inside? Can you see it?"
A moment later, the system spoke.
"Plutonium-239 with a 97% abundance."
New supplies?
Mu Fan spoke softly, and the recall system displayed the relevant information.
After learning a little more, Mu Fan's face became more cautious, and he took a few steps back before taking a deep breath and speaking.
"I never expected this, I really never expected this!"
"Now, in this world of cultivation, I've become a reformer."
When I first entered the Formless Sect and arrived at Hidden Origin Peak, my master gave me so many talismans and talisman-drawing brushes.
But he really had no interest in cultivation, since he could improve himself by simply leaving the game running.
But then it occurred to me that since this talisman could explode after being infused with power, it could be used as gunpowder. With a sturdy outer shell, it would be, in a sense, a bomb from my previous life.
That's what he thought and planned from the very beginning.
In all this time, he had never seen anyone else do this.
But now, looking at the introduction to plutonium-239 provided by the system, the path he took was indeed not quite authentic.
The current abundance of plutonium-239 is clearly a more efficient nuclear weapons material, capable of producing a stronger reaction than uranium with a smaller quantity, and is extremely toxic and radioactive.
"This is exactly the approach to recreating Blue Star."
Looking around, Mu Fan suddenly felt like he was dreaming.
Those who know it are in a world of cultivation, but those who don't might think they've stumbled into a nuclear laboratory.
"These people, instead of focusing on cultivating immortality, are doing this?"
"Brush--"
Mu Fan raised his hand and took out an artifact belonging to a cultivator.
"Brush--"
In the blink of an eye, it was utterly destroyed.
The speed and efficiency were so impressive that Mu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"With this kind of effect, if we really help the Tai Clan gain control, they probably won't want to thank me, will they?"
Mu Fan couldn't help but think.
After all, the Power That Cannot Be Controlled they spoke of was actually just radiation.
The easiest way to master this is to hold these sources of radiation in your hand.
After a moment of reflection, Mu Fan shifted his attention from plutonium-239 to studying other parts of the area.
Before long, Mu Fan came to a conclusion.
This place is not just for storage, it's also for research and development!
