Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 369 Mingde Hall (14)

Mingde Hall is located in the heart of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

On the surface, this is just an inconspicuous building.

But once inside, you'll find that Mingde Hall is far larger than anyone imagined.

Moreover, it's not just a vast area; it's also the place with the highest technological content on the entire continent, bar none.

Entering the ordinary building, which covered an area of ​​less than 500 square meters, Xuan Ziwen led Lin You through three checkpoints, some guarded by Soul Masters and others directly protected by Soul Guidance Devices.

Upon entering the building, Lin You saw twenty elevators arranged in an arc, each with a metallic feel and capable of accommodating more than ten people.

"They've even come up with an elevator. If we give the Sun Moon Empire another hundred or two decades, I'm afraid they'll just take over Douluo Continent directly, right?" He couldn't help but think to himself as he watched this scene.

After all, the scene before him was indeed terrifying to outsiders, and even he, a transmigrator, was no exception. Having been accustomed to the primitive life outside, suddenly returning to an elevator that seemed like modern times inevitably caused some emotional turmoil.

That's all there is to it.

Xuan Ziwen led Lin You into an elevator, scanned his identity card on a soul tool, and then reached out to grasp the metal pillar in the center of the elevator. He injected soul power, and the elevator slowly descended.

Compared to the underground research facilities on Earth, the soul guidance technology of Mingde Hall may look similar, but in reality, it is far behind.

Even Shrek Academy has its own research area, but in reality, those who know their stuff can tell the difference between the two.

It's like heaven and earth.

Once inside the elevator, Xuan Ziwen sighed, "Sigh, I don't know if bringing you in here was a good thing or a bad thing. Although this place is technologically advanced, I think the atmosphere here will stifle your inspiration, since it's too oppressive."

Xuan Ziwen felt that, compared to entering Mingde Hall, it was more important to let Lin You freely develop his thinking.

Can you imagine that there are almost no partitions here, more than three thousand tables are set up together, and there are people watching you from behind?
Such a depressing atmosphere is unbearable for most people, so those who survive here are research fanatics who are focused on their own work and completely unaffected by the outside world.

"That's alright. When it comes to learning, you need to be well-informed and have a good memory. The more you read and learn, the better. I'm also very interested in soul tools," Lin You said with a smile, showing none of the domineering air he had when he was reigning supreme at the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Soon, a brand new metallic world appeared before Lin You's eyes.

Below is a large hall.

Numerous experimental tables, thousands of Soul Guide instructors, thousands of security personnel, a massive dome, and magnificent lighting equipment—a vast collection of Soul Guide technology—are all gathered here, condensed in this expansive circular experimental hall.

Anyone who saw this scene would be shocked, but Lin You was clearly an exception. He glanced at the hundred-meter depth below ground and the space around him, and began to ponder.

What if we cut off the oxygen here?
I'm afraid not a single person will survive. The only way to the upper level is by elevator, but elevators, as soul tools, are much more fragile than people. They directly supply everything with soul power, and everyone underground here is a lamb to the slaughter.

All I can say is that the Sun and Moon Empire is playing a very fancy game.

By gathering everyone in a place where there was no way to escape, it's no wonder that after the Body Sect came in and wreaked havoc, not a single person ran away.

LOL, there's no way to escape, you can only wait to die.

Xuan Ziwen was oblivious to the dark thoughts swirling in Lin You's mind. He simply said to himself, "Anyway, I'll bring you here first and find you a table. Then, someone might come and ask you about your element theory. Just say whatever you want. This topic is widely discussed in our teaching circle. I was just planning to conduct experiments based on your ideas, such as the air asphyxiation experiment and the water freezing experiment, so I need to get started first."

Lin You nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood.

His relationship with Xuan Ziwen is now somewhat like that of teacher and student, and also somewhat like that of travel companions on a journey. Although they can't quite be called both teacher and friend yet, they are already quite familiar with each other.

Therefore, he did not adopt the air of a leader to boss Xuan Ziwen around and tell him what to do, but instead presented his own ideas and creativity, his own insights and understanding of the theory of elements, and fully expressed the essence of this atomic level.

How much Xuan Ziwen will be able to understand after that depends on himself.

After all, what Lin You wanted wasn't mindless followers, but fellow travelers on the same path. The theory of elements was vast and profound, and he couldn't possibly explore it all by himself. Lin You also didn't have the energy or time to focus solely on theoretical studies; he was much better at practical applications.

Take, for example, the self-circulating system [Eternal Flame of Nibelungen], which is currently very popular among teachers. Do you think its soul guidance technology is of high quality?
In fact, many high-level soul masters consider it not high at all, because at most it is a combination soul tool made up of multiple core arrays connected together. Such complexity is child's play to them. After all, they have already begun to mass-produce soul tool array systems. Logically speaking, the moment they see such a thing, they should already have a specific model in their minds and be able to completely replicate it.

Jing Hongchen thought so too, which is why he was dismissive of this thing. Even if Lin Jiayi came to report it, and there were rumors that all the teachers were researching this thing, he was too lazy to even glance at it. This kind of childish trick was something his grandson had already learned when he was in first grade. Why should he pay attention to it?
But the result was something that surprised everyone.

Because it cannot be made, it cannot be replicated.

Its principle is clearly very simple: an absorption array that absorbs heat and converts it into soul power, an array that allows soul power to flow and be transmitted quickly, and an array that redirects soul power back into fuel. It seems very simple, but the result is that it can only produce a toy that burns for a dozen seconds.

Unlike what Lin You created, a single flame not only continuously burns on its own, but also feeds back soul power over time. It's unbelievable that the law of conservation of energy has been broken.
Am I crazy? Or has the whole world gone mad?

Lin You, of course, didn't hide anything and gave the correct answer directly: the high temperature of phosphorus fire can bring a huge amount of combustion temperature in an instant. At this temperature, its heat absorption device will receive an unprecedented heat impact, which will be converted into sufficient soul power. Its combustion intensity is completely different from that of ordinary flames, which is why it generates extra soul power.

The second is that the metal's conductivity is incredibly high. The metal prepared by Lin You's refining method has terrifying properties that far exceed those of metals of the same level. This is precisely the power of Lin You's pioneering iteration of the underlying metal framework.

In modern technology, materials are always a bottleneck. But once the material problem is solved, even rail elevators can be made. The Sun and Moon Empire, without exploring the limits of metal properties and without laying a solid foundation, is just building castles in the air.

It was precisely because of these factors that Lin You's unreserved sharing behavior allowed his reputation to spread rapidly among teachers, and after Xuan Ziwen's promotion, his popularity exploded.

What is phosphorescence? Why can the properties of metals be explored so deeply? How can the combustion required for combustion be generated by soul power? And what is the connection between the two?
Curiosity is a strong motivator among them, as they are the most curious group of people. And the answer to all of this seems to lie with Lin You.
