Students who have studied biology should all know this.
Nitrogen gas is a very stable substance.
Because bonded atoms form multiple bonds, there must be one and only one σ bond, but there can be one or two π bonds.
Generally, σ bonds are formed in a "head-on" manner.
The degree of electron cloud overlap is large, making it relatively stable.
Whereas π bonds are formed in a "side-by-side" manner.
The degree of electron cloud overlap is small, making them unstable.
For example, when alkenes undergo addition reactions with Br2, it is the π bond in the carbon-carbon double bond C=C that breaks, while the σ bond does not break.
This allows only the bromine atom to be added without breaking the carbon chain.
When alkynes undergo addition with Br2, since the bond length of C≡C is shorter than that of C=C, the π bond in C≡C is somewhat firmer than in C=C, making it harder to break during addition.
Therefore the reaction rate is significantly slower than that of alkenes.
Moreover, the bond length of N≡N is even shorter, resulting in the π bond overlap being greater than that of the σ bond, making the π bond even stronger.
Thus, the π bond in N≡N is very hard to add to, making N2's chemical properties extremely stable.
For N2 to react, it must be subjected to high temperatures or a catalyst to simultaneously break the triple bond for the reaction to occur.
The same principle applies.
The chemical properties of some nitrogen compounds are also very stable.
For example, acrylonitrile and some nitrogen oxides.
According to the rabbits' research...
These relatively stable compounds often appear at the end of Y particle generation reactions, yet somehow are inexplicably burned up.
Acrylonitrile, being a compound that can't withstand high temperatures, decomposes upon high heat.
But some nitrogen oxide molecules have high heat resistance, especially as Y particles are generated, they should theoretically remain stable for a long time.
Thus, this has become a mystery that lasted for almost half a year.
Until recently, Wang Qiang's team discovered its secret:
It is the cold condensation microorganisms that generate Y particles, which have a certain energy storage effect!
A cluster of cold condensation microorganisms in the Earth's veins contains very few of them, yet it can store about seventy million joules of energy.
Within a very short contact time and contact area.
This energy is sufficient to instantly burn those small nitrogen oxide molecules.
Of course.
Seventy million joules is not considered much in real life.
Students with better physics knowledge should remember.
1 kilowatt-hour equals 3,600,000 joules, so seventy million joules is roughly enough to generate about 19 kWh.
But don't forget, how big is a cluster of Earth's vein fire?
What is the volume of cold condensation microorganisms?
The simplest rationale.
If the volume of cold condensation microorganisms were too large, let alone the rabbits.
They would have long been discovered by the cultivators of the Damo Realm.
Students with good memory should still remember.
The trade group exploited several unscrupulous merchants with short-term versions of the Earth's vein fire when they first arrived in Ziqiong City.
So from early on, the rabbits mastered the technology of artificially cultivating cold condensation microorganisms.
Back then at Ziqiong Market, the lifespan limit of cold condensation microorganisms was 168 hours. Now, the rabbits have successfully extended it to 360 hours, which is fifteen days.
To be honest.
Fifteen days of lifespan doesn't have much domestic application value, so related technology is still being further accelerated in research.
It belongs to a foresighted study.
However, in specific circumstances...
The significance of cold condensation microorganisms is extraordinary.
This includes the Nascent Soul Tribulation that Yang Zhengchu is about to face.
According to the rabbits' plan.
The Ion Channel Detector acts as a conduit for the leak, optimizing the flow rate of 'sand' by coordinating the potential difference.
And since it is necessary to control the flow rate of 'sand', it naturally requires a container to store the excess sand.
Heliumized iron crystal formations can only provide effective defense or seal, without the function of energy storage.
Thus, this task naturally falls onto the cold condensation microorganisms.
The energy of ordinary lightning on Earth is not as high as people imagine, only about one to ten billion joules.
As for the legendary ball lightning, it's unclear.
This thing only has a few sighting testimonies, making energy analysis through the spectrum very difficult.
Some believe it's associated with nuclear fusion magnetic confinement, and there are many macro-electrons.
The reason why lightning is so powerful is mainly due to its very short contact time.
Instantaneous current and voltage can reach unbelievably high levels, hence the nickname of heavenly majesty.
Meaning, high voltage with low work done.
This is also why lightning is hard to store, as there are really too few materials that can withstand instantaneous high voltage.
Coincidentally, cold condensation microorganisms meet these conditions.
Perhaps the power of thunder tribulations in the Damo Realm is much stronger than Earth's lightning, several orders of magnitude higher.
But no matter how, it's ultimately the hurdle upon first entering Nascent Soul Realm, with a theoretical upper limit.
It's impossible for the power of a single thunder tribulation to reach mid-stage or even later stages of Nascent Soul Realm, right?
If that were so, wouldn't the cultivators who crossed the tribulation be able to directly withstand mid to late stage Nascent Soul attacks?
Clearly, that's not reasonable.
Therefore, with this theory as a basis, the command unit conducted detailed calculations.
Finally confirming that with a sufficient number of cold condensation microorganisms, they can fully bear the energy of the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.
At this point.
The rabbits' plan is very clear.
Firstly, heliumized iron microcrystals form a barrier belt.
Next, supercomputers assist in determining the lightning strike point, selecting nine thunder tribulations for temporary energy storage by a cluster of cold condensation microorganisms.
Subsequently guiding it into ion channels through technical means, finally landing into Yang Zhengchu's tribulation-crossing body.
Of course.
Ma Ning didn't inform Yang Zhengchu of all these chemically heavy terminologies, instead presenting it as a treasure inherited from ancestors.
"Yang Clan Elders, I know you must have many doubts, after all, things beyond the Celestial Moon Mountain Range differ greatly from the Damo Realm."
In the secret chamber, Ma Ning is conducting a final handover with Yang Zhengchu:
"So why not this.
I will first contact the clan and transport part of the equipment needed for tribulation crossing to Ziqiong City.
Then either you personally or with the aid of talismans, demonstrate methods equivalent or stronger than the Thunder Tribulation.
If those magical artifacts withstand the attacks, we'll then discuss more detailed matters.
If the artifacts fail under bombardment, then there's no need for any hush fees, we definitely won't say a word.
If you find the information has been leaked, you can take this little life of mine!"
Yang Zhengchu, hearing this, gave Ma Ning a deep look.
By this point, the issue wasn't really about secrecy anymore.
Even if Ma Ning didn't show up, he would certainly confess his unstable Dao heart to Yang Wenbing within this period.
It might at most be a few Damo Days' difference, with little practical discrepancy.
This period isn't significant for the tribulation crosser himself or some neutral or opposing factions to accomplish anything substantial.
The tribulation crosser can't gather the tribulation materials, and enemy factions can't seize the opportunity.
After all, Ziqiong City possesses a Tier Four defensive magic array, even a rushed siege would come at a considerable cost.
It's just that Ma Ning acted as a catalyst, tearing down the yet-to-be-broken barrier.
Following this, Yang Zhengchu carefully considered and said:
"Shopkeeper Ma, I agree with your side's opinion.
The magical artifacts can be sent over at any time, specifics can be arranged with Bo Li.
Additionally, I'd like to ask...
What materials are required for the activation of these magical artifacts?"
After thinking for a moment, Ma Ning replied:
"Beast crystals, a large number of beast crystals!"

Note:
I saw some comments asking me to talk about the synthetic starch news, I heard about it this morning but haven't had time to look into it.
Only now that I finished writing will I check that science article.
I glanced at it around noon, though it didn't use any precious metal catalysts, it employed 30 types of engineered recombination enzymes, so the cost is still high.
But compared to the pricey catalysts, at least there's no need to send money to the Eagles.....
I'll include the analysis in the author's notes later. It's not part of the subscription fee, and only genuine readers can see it, considered a little bonus.
