"...How does the spiritual energy armor-piercing bullet achieve acceleration?"

Lin Li thought for a moment and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be through the grinding of extremely small crystals from beast crystals, which serve as a solid spiritual energy explosive accelerating agent, providing sufficient horizontal velocity... Wait a minute!"

He suddenly realized something and looked up sharply at Tang Pin:

"Could it be... solid spiritual energy?"

Tang Pin nodded heavily, confirming his guess:

"Exactly, it's solid spiritual energy.

According to our experiments, theoretically about 70% of the composition of a beast crystal is made up of solid spiritual energy.

And these spiritual energy fragments become extremely reactive under a pressure of 160,000 atmospheres—note, they become reactive, not decomposing or vaporizing, meaning it becomes very easy to engage in reactions.

Especially with... Mo."

"Mo?"

Lin Li was somewhat stunned and blinked:

"It's actually it?"

Mo is considered a relatively little-known element—it ranks 115th on the periodic table of elements.

When mentioning Mo, one must first discuss another concept:

The periodic table of elements.

As of 2009, Ognesyan led multiple teams to discover element 117, "Uus/Ts" — translated into Chinese as Shitian, and sometimes referred to as Dian.

Since then, the seventh period of the periodic table has been completely filled, comprising 118 elements.

However, the human exploration of unknown elements has not ceased, and the current findings are not the end of the periodic table.

There are currently two theories about the limit of the periodic table, one suggesting an upper limit of 137, while the other proposes 172.

The first theory is determined according to the Bohr model—not that Bohr who loves and hates with Ma Long, but the Bohr with the "Wang" radical character.

Calculating based on the Bohr model.

If the atomic number exceeds 137, then the speed of the 1s orbital electron would surpass the speed of light.

This is clearly an impossible scenario, which is why many people believe element 137 is the endpoint of the periodic table, and this number happens to be the reciprocal of the fine-structure constant.

For instance, Feynman held this view, and accordingly named element 137 "femanmanium".

The proposition of 172 is based on the Dirac equation's electron ground state energy calculations.

Considering that some lesser-known classmates might fail, we won't dwell on it too much here.

For this reason, Zhang Mu and other chemists have been so excited about the emergence of the Damo Realm—a world fundamentally different from the native one, which might offer a great revolution to the periodic table of elements!

Thus, the 21st century is indeed the century of chemistry (laughs).

Mo is a synthetically produced radioactive metal element with an atomic number of 115, belonging to the group of weak metals.

It is the heaviest element in group 15 of the periodic table—also known as the VA group—but has not been chemically characterized due to the absence of sufficiently stable Mc isotopes.

However, these scenarios are limited to formal chemistry laboratories, while among amateur researchers, it is surrounded by fantastic narratives.

There are claims of it creating gravity fields post-decay, warping space-time, being the power source for UFOs, and so on...

The most ridiculous are spinoffs like public time travel disclosures in 2032, and the River Map and Luo Book being spacecraft operation manuals or something.

Back then, there were even some fools clamoring for the Luoyang Museum to send the River Map and Luo Book to the Americans for them to save the world with spacecraft.

And who is the root of all these evils?

A man named Bob Lazar.

He exposed things like Mo being UFO propulsion raw material, the existence of aliens in Area 51, and the collaboration between Americans and aliens.

In certain domestic amateur science fields, he's been idolized—but in the US, his reputation has been torn apart to shreds.

The matter originally surfaced on May 13, 1989.

At that time, a mysterious caller made contact with a television program called Spat.m, releasing explosive information saying he used to work at Area 51, which he claimed to be a secret base for US alien research.

He even claimed that Area 51 had both alien spacecraft and alien corpses.

Eleven months later, this mysterious person publicly revealed his identity as Bob Lazar.

According to him.

He possessed a physics master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology, and after graduating, he worked on scientific research at Los Alamos National Laboratory—this lab is comparable to the most advanced physics lab led by Lin Li, similar to the current Plant Biology Laboratory he heads.

By age, Bob Lazar is somewhat similar to that young lady Wang Qiang.

However, in reality.

Friedman, a professor at Stanton University, specifically investigated, and found out this guy is completely a fraud.

Bob Lazar isn't a member of the physics society, has no papers, and isn't mentioned in any yearbook records from MIT or Caltech.

In interviews, Bob Lazar also mentioned California State University and Pias College, but in reality, he had records only at Pierce College, with no presence at the other three schools.

But of course, among some local amateur scientists, this is portrayed as being involved in secret research and having traces erased, exaggerated to excessive extents.

Additionally, Friedman checked his high school records in New York State, and Bob Lazar graduated in August, ranking 261 out of 369 people.

These grades make it absolutely impossible for him to have been admitted to MIT or Caltech, just like scoring 300 points and expecting Yan University's top scientific laboratory to take you as an assistant?

Moreover, if a person has studied at MIT, how could there be no classmates who recognize him?

This is obviously impossible.

Many people have had contact with classified research, such as certain classmates' families suddenly disappearing.

The people are gone, but their social circles and acquaintances don't lose their memory because of it—just aren't aware of where they've gone.

Moreover, you would never guess what work Bob Lazar did later—he opened a certain type of shop, operating a business of being a pimp.

He even personally starred in three small films in 2002, the titles being... cough cough cough.

Furthermore, his so-called "predictions" are full of loopholes, like the half-life and characteristics of element 115 being vastly different from reality.

The only real thing Bob Lazar did:

Exposing the existence of Area 51.

This is a fact; he was indeed the first to reveal the existence of Area 51.

But when you dig deeper, you'd find this doesn't really prove much; there are myriad reasons to explain it:

For instance, he may have briefly encountered Area 51, or is just talking nonsense—especially since the 1979 Doucy incident had already focused attention on Lincoln County.

Nor can it be ruled out that he was simply arranged to come out to confuse the public deliberately.

This guy is somewhat like a World Cup substitute player who, previously unknown, makes a decisive goal in the 118th minute of extra time during the finals and then immediately announces his retirement.

This mysterious flair makes countless people dramatize his story, claiming that being unknown was because the club coach didn't recognize his talent, or there weren't enough training resources, etc.

If given the chance, he could have truly grown to become a football king—don't believe it? Then tell me, how many football kings have scored in World Cup finals?

They cling to these points and swing them around like a broom dipped in dung, completely ignoring logic.

So, you see, it's not without reason that amateur scientists can be irritating—they are so stubborn.

Returning to Element Mo.

While Element Mo isn't as fantastical as the legends, it does have some peculiarities itself.

"Ultimately, we are searching for Mc-290, one of the four isotopes of Mo, with a half-life of 0.8 seconds."

At the range, Tang Pin introduced Lin Li as they walked:

"Although the half-life of MC-290 is very short, and in macro terms, it's not as stable as the unsynthesized MC-298.

Yet near its half-life, its properties remain very reliable.

Moreover, Mc-290, like solid spiritual energy crystals, becomes very reactive under pressures of 160,000 atmospheres and can precisely undergo some kind of chemical reaction with solid spiritual energy crystals.

Old Lin, you should know.

If two extremely stable substances can react, they often release more energy than non-stable substances of equivalent mass."

Lin Li nodded; he understood this common knowledge.

Then the two walked for a while and soon arrived at the center of the range.

"Here it is."
