There's not much special matter in the thunder, and even fewer non-charged particles can be absorbed.

So it's very obvious.

The special particles Li Yan mentioned are the body-tempering materials from the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Compared to his disciple's excitement, Lin Li appeared much calmer:

"We're just getting started, let's calm down first.

Prepare the next step and try to analyze the structure and composition of the body-tempering material.

Hmm... I suggest doing a spectrum analysis first."

Hearing Lin Li's words, Li Yan gradually steadied her breathing:

"Understood, Brother Ren, it's up to you!"

The person in charge of spectrum tasks in Wang Qiang's team is a tall middle-aged man, also a researcher-level scientific personnel named Ren Yongcun.

Don't look down on the title "Researcher", it's actually a proper high-level title.

In some universities, a full-time researcher can be equivalent to a PhD advisor, some people might not even obtain it in a lifetime.

After receiving instructions, Ren Yongcun immediately started the analysis process.

Friends in the field of chemistry should know.

Analyzing compounds is quite troublesome, especially when dealing with unknown compounds.

In a way.

Analyzing an unknown compound is no different than analyzing a black box.

Of course.

Comparing analyzing a black box to meeting the requirements of a client, the former is still somewhat easier.

After all, with a black box, if you're lucky, you might actually figure out something valuable, but meeting client requirements is akin to achieving the impossible.

Plus, the previous STM images have already analyzed some information, so Ren Yongcun's task was relatively easier.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Click click click—

Beep beep beep—

The sounds of various instruments operating echoed in the lab, forming a special symphony of instruments.

Two hours later.

A flash of white light appeared on the screen in front of Ren Yongcun.

This seemingly naive tall man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw him raise his hand decisively and report to the main control station:

"Report, preliminary analysis has results!"

Having sat idle for two hours, Lin Li felt somewhat tired, but he still forced himself to focus after hearing this:

"Xiaoren, how are the results?"

Ren Yongcun first transferred the data to the main screen, then pointed at several data items among them and said:

"Captain Lin, based on the spectrum analysis,

The hydrogen spectrum of the body-tempering material is about 7.11, which is standard DD peak.

Moreover, the coupling constant from 7.11 to 7.08 is 8.

We also found that there are five splitting peaks at 4.3 on the hydrogen spectrum, and the 3.7 connecting 62.19 is CH2.

Therefore, I personally judge...

It should be two CH2 with a chemical shift of 62.19 in the same chemical environment, hence the carbon spectrum does not show.

And the chemical shift of an individual CH2's C should be lower than 62.19, so this should consider being connected to -OH....."

After speaking, he paused and concluded:

"Therefore, in summary,

the body-tempering material contains methyl but not angular methyl, a special group connected to negative electron atoms.

There are double bonds and ester.

In other words,...

the body-tempering material is a type of single chiral molecule."

Upon hearing the words single chiral molecule,

Lin Li instantly held his breath, his pupils shrank.

Chiral molecules.

This is actually a highly specialized yet easy-to-understand concept.

The most classic analogy to explain chiral molecules is our hands.

Readers unfamiliar with this concept might as well take their hands out and compare:

The palms of human hands laid flat can be considered a set of mirror images.

But you can't completely superimpose your left and right hands through translation and planar rotation.

Chiral molecules, like hands, exist in stereoscopic configurations that are mirror images but cannot be completely superimposed.

Each mirror image (left-handed/right-handed) is called an "enantiomer".

In real life.

Another type of structure that are mirror images but cannot be superimposed is spiral, namely left-handed and right-handed.

And why are chiral molecules so important?

The reason is simple.

Because you, me, and all life forms on Earth are fundamentally structured by chiral molecules.

Proteins and DNA all have chirality.

Amino acids link together through peptide bonds to form proteins, deoxynucleotides link through phosphate diester bonds to form the two molecular chains of DNA.

Moreover, carbohydrates also have chirality.

More importantly,

most of the constituent units of these naturally occurring life macromolecules are single chiral.

The body-tempering material can elevate the cultivator's body to another level, conceptually it undoubtedly aligns with the word "life".

What also truly surprised Lin Li was another detail—

"Xiaoren, are you saying there are five splitting peaks at 4.3 on the hydrogen spectrum? Coupling constant is 8 from 7.11 to 7.08?"

Ren Yongcun took a deep breath and nodded heavily:

"Yes, 4.3, five splitting peaks, coupling constant is 8."

Upon hearing this data repeatedly in a short time, Wang Qiang suddenly thought of something.

She quickly found a document, flipped through it rapidly, and said in surprise:

"Five splitting peaks at 4.3, coupling constant is 8 from 7.11 to 7.08.

This... this is identical to solid spiritual energy!"

Lin Li's chest rose and fell a few times without saying a word.

Obviously, he realized the anomaly in these values earlier than Wang Qiang, otherwise, he wouldn't have emphasized repeating them.

Although the rabbits haven't fully analyzed the composition of spiritual energy yet,

with the demon beast crystal as an aggregate of solid spiritual energy, structural analysis in this area has been somewhat successful.

For instance, rabbits confirmed that solid spiritual energy is also chiral molecules—but this is not surprising, as mentioned above, life matter is mostly chiral molecules.

And on a deeper microscopic level, hydrogen spectrum belongs to the forefront of analysis projects.

The research team summarized about seven or eight special or abnormal points from spectra, including the five splitting peaks at 4.3.

Furthermore, the coupling constant is 8 from 7.11 to 7.08.

This is very interesting.

On the control station,

Lin Li stroked his chin with one hand, lightly tapping the table with the other:

"Xiaoren, have the two been experimented on?

Is there any connection?

Is it a coincidence, or is there another reason?"

Faced with Lin Li's question, Ren Yongcun gave a bitter smile:

"Captain Lin, we've tried high-temperature high-pressure, or low-temperature low-pressure environments, and solid spiritual energy and body-tempering material did not produce any reaction or change.

Therefore, it can only be determined from chemical structures.

The body-tempering material is a special chiral molecule and may have some similarity in composition with spiritual energy.

Regarding deeper connections...

I'm afraid there won't be any results in a short time."

Lin Li was silent for a few seconds, slightly nodding:

"I understand, thank you, Xiaoren."

Honestly speaking.

Ren Yongcun and the team's analytical results were somewhat unexpected for Lin Li.

In his initial thoughts.

Li Yan and her team being able to isolate the body-tempering material was already considered mission accomplished. He wasn't really holding much hope for subsequent analysis.

It was one of those situations where you take a gamble regardless of outcome.

Commonly known as a stroke of luck.

Unexpectedly, Ren Yongcun and their team actually analyzed part of the chemical structure of the body-tempering material.

This discovery is undoubtedly extremely valuable because once the structure is fixed, many subsequent analyses relatively become easier.

If it doesn't work out, you can simply use brute force methods.

After all, with supercomputers aiding, the computing power of Taihu Light is equal to 7.2 billion people calculating for ten years in one minute, brute force is feasible to some extent.

And just at this moment,

the meat of demon beasts arrived as well.
