Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 425 Deuterium Awakening!

Just as he was pondering, the soul bone of the 390,000-year-old Demon King Squid, which he had hardly ever used, suddenly dimmed.

Lin You could clearly feel that the enormous soul power hidden within was being drained away like a flood, and even the tentacle soul skill called "tentacle binding" attached to it turned gray and completely lost its effect!
Lin You's lips twitched violently, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

"Damn, you just shredded and devoured my own soul skill? That's way too domineering!"

He felt the weakness emanating from the soul bone and was speechless.

This martial spirit is ruthless in its pursuit of awakening new elements, even going so far as to exploit the host's own soul bones and soul skills.

However, despite his complaints, Lin You was still filled with anticipation.

Having paid such a high price, even sacrificing a 100,000-year-old soul skill, the new element awakened this time is absolutely extraordinary!

On the semi-transparent plate formed by the martial spirit of the periodic table, the light grew even more intense.

Finally, after a violent energy fluctuation, all the light suddenly converged, condensing into a new element symbol, which landed steadily next to the original position of the hydrogen element.

Lin You stared intently, and was slightly taken aback at first.

Hydrogen element?
Didn't hydrogen already awaken long ago? Or is it a repeated awakening?

wrong.

Lin You's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was instantly overwhelmed with ecstasy!

That's not your average hydrogen symbol! Next to the "H" representing hydrogen, there's a tiny number "2"!
"Deuterium, this is deuterium!"

Lin You's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium, deuterium (i.e., heavy hydrogen), and tritium (i.e., superheavy hydrogen).

What he awakened before was the most ordinary protium.

And right now, the newly condensed element is none other than a hydrogen isotope—deuterium!
Deuterium, with one more neutron in its nucleus than ordinary hydrogen, is the main component of heavy water and is also... one of the most crucial fuels in controlled nuclear fusion reactions!

"Nuclear fusion..."

Lin You's breathing became heavy, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

If his previous mastery of elemental power was mostly for macroscopic manipulation and application, then the appearance of deuterium undoubtedly led him into a completely new, more microscopic, and even more terrifying realm.

Just as he was feeling excited, as the deuterium element became completely stable on the Martial Soul plate, an indescribable strange energy emanated from the Martial Soul, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones, merging into every cell and every inch of his bones.

A faint, water-like ripple began to spread across Lin You's body.

These ripples were not water, but a purer, more fundamental energy fluctuation. His body seemed to be undergoing some kind of fundamental transformation, evolving in an unknown direction.

The momentum surged wildly at this moment!
If Lin You in the past gave people the feeling of an unfathomable ocean or a majestic and imposing mountain range, then at this moment he is like a star about to burst forth with endless light and heat!

It is restrained, yet it contains a terrifying power capable of destroying everything!
After a long while, this strange energy fluctuation gradually subsided.

Lin You slowly opened his eyes, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar power within his body. His brows furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.

"Deuterium...nuclear fusion..."

He muttered to himself, "Just how far can this ability go? Could it be that I can directly achieve a nuclear fusion reaction?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall his knowledge of nuclear fusion from his previous life. Nuclear fusion refers to a form of nuclear reaction in which small atoms, mainly deuterium or tritium, fuse together under certain conditions, such as extremely high temperature and pressure, to generate new, heavier atomic nuclei, accompanied by the release of enormous amounts of energy.

One of the most critical conditions for achieving controlled nuclear fusion is the dauntingly high-temperature environment.

"At least seven million degrees Celsius is needed, and some theories even require a temperature of one hundred million degrees Celsius, for light atomic nuclei such as deuterium and tritium to overcome Coulomb repulsion and undergo effective collision and fusion..." Lin You recalled these data, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.

"Damn it, the phosphorus I currently possess, when burned, produces a temperature of at most five thousand degrees Celsius, which is already a high temperature that ordinary flames on the Douluo Continent can hardly reach. Now it suddenly jumps to hundreds of millions of degrees? That's several orders of magnitude higher than the temperature at the core of the sun, isn't it?"

Lin You felt his brain wasn't working properly.

"Is this something a human can do? Or do I have to wait until I awaken to the main elements that make up the air, such as nitrogen and oxygen, and be able to precisely control particle movement at a more microscopic level before I can raise the temperature to that unbelievable limit?"

The more he thought about it, the more his head ached.

Currently, it seems that deuterium alone is not enough for him to directly create a "mini sun." It's more like a key that has opened a door to a completely new field for him, but the road behind that door still requires him to explore it step by step.

However, just as Lin You was racking his brains over the terrifying temperature requirement, an even bolder and more exciting idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Wait, the requirements for controlled nuclear fusion are extremely high, but... what about uncontrolled fusion?"

Lin You's eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with an almost frenzied light.

"hydrogen bomb!"

The moment the word popped into his mind, his heart skipped a beat.

Although the detonation of a hydrogen bomb also requires extremely high temperatures, its core principle is to use the instantaneous high temperature and pressure generated during the atomic bomb explosion to ignite thermonuclear materials and trigger a fusion reaction.

"Judging from the current conditions of awakening deuterium, I'm probably not far from truly getting in touch with some of the core processes and conditions for manufacturing a hydrogen bomb!" Lin You's breathing became somewhat rapid, his eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of barely suppressed excitement.

"If... if I could really make that thing..."

A thought began to grow wildly in his mind.

"Hehe, the first thing I'll do after I finish this is..."

Lin You grinned with a wicked smile, "We're going to blow that damn Qiankun Wenqing Valley to smithereens!"

Lin You was furious at the thought of all the evil deeds committed by Qiankun Wenqing Valley in the original novel.

That place is a disgusting cesspool!
What kind of bullshit test left by God King Tang San is that? It's absolutely insane!
Destroying the Eternal Tower that Electrolux had left for Huo Yuhao to save his life, causing Huo Yuhao to lose a resurrection item for no reason, was bad enough. What was most outrageous was that they even used such extreme methods to torture Huo Yuhao hundreds of times, driving a mentally resilient genius to the brink of mental collapse.

Finally, they even created a ridiculous drama where Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er had to kill each other to decide Huo Yuhao's fate. In the end, Wang Dong'er (Tang Wutong) chose to commit suicide so as not to put Huo Yuhao in a difficult position, and Wang Qiu'er chose to sacrifice herself to fulfill their wishes!

"That damn God King Tang San is a real piece of work!"

Lin You gritted his teeth and cursed, "When I get a hydrogen bomb, the first thing I'll do is take down your worthless valley! I'll let you taste what it's like to be as red as a beggar's flower."

Once this thought arises, it spreads like wildfire and can no longer be contained.

Lin You took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the destructive urge in his heart, but his eyes became more and more determined.

The Valley of Love and Destiny must be blown up!
However, before that, he needs to study the abilities of deuterium more deeply, and... how to truly control that devastating power.
