Chapter 339 A Restless Night
You should know that the collision of cold and hot air currents often brings about extreme weather changes, such as heavy rain, hail, tornadoes, etc.
Many places where wildfires break out or volcanic eruptions occur are accompanied by thunderstorms of varying degrees.
This is because the heat and dust caused by the wildfires encounter cooler air at high altitudes, forming a collision of cold and hot air currents.
Chen Jue's breakthrough this time not only evaporated the hot steam on the top of the mountain, but also "artificially" created a cumulonimbus cloud above Leigong Peak.
Cumulonimbus clouds are also called thunderstorm clouds, and their appearance often brings varying degrees of lightning and thunderstorms.
The reason why these lightning bolts struck Chen Jue in the stone temple was because he was practicing at the moment, or controlling the nuclear fusion of the human body at the most critical moment.
Along with the fusion of a large number of atoms, countless electrons broke free from the constraints of the nuclei and began to wander wildly in his body, forming countless positive and negative electric fields.
You know, electric current is the energy generated by the directional movement of electrons.
With so many electrons floating around uncontrollably, it was equivalent to countless current short circuits occurring inside and outside Chen Jue's body.
To put it simply, at this moment, Chen Jue has not only become a small human star by performing controlled nuclear fusion, but has also become a human-shaped discharger, a human-shaped power bank, or a human-shaped lightning rod, which repels and attracts the lightning and thunderstorms formed above his head.
This led to this spectacular spectacle that looked like the immortal cultivators overcoming the heavenly tribulation in the novels about immortal cultivation!
However, as he was chopping, Chen Jue felt something was wrong.
He found that his body was like a bottomless pit and he was extremely craving for naturally generated lightning.
This is lightning with a voltage of over a million volts!
Although it was formed in a hurry, the current generated by each lightning strike was tens of thousands of amperes, and the energy contained in it exceeded tens of billions of joules. The tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature generated instantly was enough to split the hardest stone into pieces.
But when these lightning bolts fell on Chen Jue, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, so docile that it was a little unnatural!
Because lightning is also electricity, and is also a product of the directional movement of electrons. When it fell on Chen Jue, it was instantly assimilated by the runaway electrons in his body.
The reason for this situation is that Chen Jue is in a special state where all the atoms in his body are "smashing the vacuum".
As the "vacuum" zone between atoms was broken, his body began to show an energy gap. In order to fill the "vacuum", he needed to continuously replenish energy from the outside world.
At this moment, he was in the equivalent of a siphon effect that had formed in his body when he was practicing martial arts to break through his skills.
It’s just that in the past, the siphoned-in nutrients were macroscopic, such as Shaolin Da Li Pills, Shiquan Dabu Soup, food nutrition and other low-end stuff, but now the object of siphoning has been elevated to the lightning energy in nature.
After all, the breakthrough in his realm at this moment is no longer considered martial arts training in the traditional sense. It is even a bit like the immortals overcoming tribulations in the novels about cultivating immortals.
Since he is a god, he naturally has to be very cool.
…
At the bus stop at the entrance of Panlong Town , Wang Dalong was driving a small van, picking up a few villagers who had gotten off the rural-urban bus and hurriedly heading towards the mountain road.
"Today is such a hell!"
"This thunderstorm came unexpectedly. The weather forecast is not accurate at all."
"It's a good thing that your car is here, Uncle Dalong, otherwise we would definitely get wet in the rain on our way back." Several villagers started chatting in the car while heavy rain was falling outside the car window.
As for Wang Dalong, who was driving, he stepped on the accelerator while chatting with a few villagers.
He felt that he was lucky to leave today. At noon, he picked up a young man from Chen Village and took on a long-term hitchhiking job, earning a thousand yuan for nothing.
Unexpectedly, there was a thunderstorm at dinner time in the evening. As the rain came, many people wanted to take the bus, so Wang Dalong's sports car business naturally became better.
So Wang Dalong sped up, intending to quickly send these guests home, and then quickly return to the town entrance to pick up another group of passengers.
If he's lucky, he can earn at least a few hundred dollars from these trips, and one night's work can equal several days' work.
As for the poor visibility due to rain and the slippery mountain roads, it was not a big deal at all for a driving god like Pan Longzhen.
Even on typhoon days, they would rush out to pick up customers and drive on mountain roads! Not to mention a mere thunderstorm.
However, when the small van got on the mountain road leading into the mountains, the villagers in the car saw blue-purple lightning flashing continuously falling from the top of Leigongjian Mountain in the distance.
The rumbling thunder drowned out the sound of heavy rain, making everyone in the carriage's ears buzz.
“Look at that mountain top!”
"Is the lightning acting crazy? Why does it keep striking the same place?" a villager shouted, attracting the attention of several passengers in the carriage.
"It's true. The thunder all fell in the same place."
"Is there a high-voltage tower on the top of the mountain? There must be a lightning rod there!" another villager speculated with the same curiosity.
Wang Dalong, who was very familiar with the area, took a look at the top of the mountain where the lightning had struck through the rain-soaked glass, and then he said calmly, "That place is called Leigongjian! There are no high-voltage towers built there."
"When I was a kid, I heard from the elders in the village that there was a fairy living on Leigong Peak, and every summer there would be thunder from the fairy."
"God is making thunder? Is it true or not?" The passengers in the car immediately became interested when they heard this.
Taking a taxi is a boring thing in itself, especially nowadays when smartphones are popular. Many passengers don’t like to listen to the driver’s nonsense. They pick up their phones and look down at them all the way, and don’t even remember to put them down when they arrive at their destination.
If it weren't for the heavy rain and thunder, which were very appropriate to the scene, the few young villagers sitting in the carriage would not have pricked up their ears to listen to the story.
"Of course it's true!"
"I've seen it several times when I was young. When there's thunder, it's easy for wildfires to start. A fire dragon hangs on the top of a mountain and burns for days and nights without being extinguished. You can see it in the county town."
"Guess what the reservoir in Chencun is used for? It's for firefighting." Wang Dalong chuckled and told a folk mythological story he heard from the elders in various villages. Several young men in the carriage who were not well-versed in the world were stunned.
I guess if they continue to fool people, these young guys will never take other people’s cars again.
After all, there are several old guys competing for the business of picking up customers by running a small van at the entrance of the town!
…
At the same time, in Eagle Country, far across the ocean, in a well-equipped nuclear physics research laboratory center.
Dozens of scientific researchers in white coats were staring at the nuclear explosion alarm that suddenly popped up in front of them, sweating profusely.
This is the nuclear reaction monitoring system established by the Eagle Country around the world, specifically used to monitor the detonation of nuclear weapons inside the earth.
Once a nuclear explosion occurs somewhere on the earth, this monitoring system will automatically sound an alarm and quickly lock the location of the explosion.
The atomic energy research institutes or nuclear physics centers of major countries all have similar monitoring devices. This is to prevent a stubborn small country from suddenly violating the nuclear non-proliferation agreement and secretly conducting nuclear experiments.
Of course, this type of monitoring system also has some intelligence and espionage characteristics, and can monitor the nuclear weapons test data and deployment status of hostile countries.
After all, it is normal to conduct small-scale tests on nuclear weapons, but once they are dropped on another country, humankind will be not far from a nuclear war.
"Have you located the location of the nuclear explosion?"
"What is the explosive equivalent!"
"Which son of a bitch is conducting nuclear weapons experiments behind our backs?"
"How come those idiots in the CIA didn't receive any news at all!" At this time, a white officer with bureaucratic authority rushed in from outside the gate.
His name is Jonathan. He is the highest person in charge of this experimental center and is responsible for monitoring the entire experimental center.
Once a sudden nuclear incident is discovered, Jonathan must contact the Black House and the Pentagon to report immediately so that the Eagle Country's state machine can be fully operational.
"Sir, the super calculation has come out."
"The nuclear reaction is expected to occur in the coastal area of Jiang Province, where the flowers are grown." A middle-aged researcher came running over with a string of newly compiled data reports.
Jonathan felt relieved when he heard this. Since it was the rabbit on the opposite side who did it, it was not a big deal.
After all, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council on Earth all have the ability to conduct nuclear tests, and rabbits are known to have good tempers and like to make small amounts of money, so they won't mess around with nuclear weapons.
However, just when Jonathan had breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden remark from the researcher under him made him feel a chill down his spine.
Researcher: "Sir... the reaction parameters given by the supercomputer seem a little abnormal..."
Jonathan frowned: "What's wrong?"
Researcher: "If it was an ordinary fission reaction ignition, or a small nuclear bomb detonation experiment, the reaction time should not be so long, and the peak energy output would not be so stable and controllable."
"And according to our system intelligence network, the site of the nuclear reaction is located in a densely populated area, and there are no nuclear power plants under construction or already in use in the area."
"It is impossible for a small-scale nuclear experiment to be carried out in such a coastal city area , unless..." the researcher hesitated to speak.
Jonathan took a look at the report, and suddenly his eyes widened as if he had thought of something, and his voice became a little higher: "It's not a nuclear power plant project... nor a nuclear explosion experiment... It can stably operate thermonuclear reactions... You... Are you saying that the other side has mastered the key technology for ignition of controlled nuclear fusion?!"
