But based on what he knew, neutron was definitely one of them!
As the most critical part of the atomic nucleus, it cannot be destroyed or shattered even by a nuclear explosion. You can imagine how hard it is!
The mass of an object composed only of dense neutrons is so exaggerated that it is unimaginable. For example, a neutron star in the universe has a mass of more than 100 million tons per cubic centimeter, making it the densest celestial body known except for black holes.
Its terrifying mass can distort time and space, which means it also has an extremely powerful force field protection. Of course, this is premised on the fact that you are in it and are not captured and torn apart by its gravity.
Even with the power of a legendary wizard, it was far from reaching this level. Lin En had no choice but to settle for the second best and look for some more reliable solutions. After thinking for a moment, he soon came up with an idea.
"071, retrieve the information about graphene!" Lin En said silently in his mind.
Graphene is an extremely special single-layer carbon atomic surface material with excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties. It can be used in many high-precision instruments and is also a special material often used by the Federation when building interstellar battleships.
The reason is that it is light, hard and tough enough. Its theoretical Young's modulus reaches 1.0TPa and its inherent tensile strength is 130GPa, which is far superior to other metal materials and its hardness is more than 100 times that of steel.
It is also one of the few substances that can be called two-dimensional materials. Its thickness is only 0.335 nanometers, which is one 200,000th of a hair, or the thickness of an atom.
Of course, the two-dimensional here does not mean that graphene is a creation of a lower dimension.
The Federation's technology has not reached such a high level. The so-called two-dimensional materials refer to materials in which electrons can only move freely on the nanoscale in two dimensions, such as nanofilms, superlattices, quantum wells, etc.
Using two dimensions to describe it is just a relatively vivid metaphor, and the basic atom that makes it up is the very common carbon!
When talking about graphene, we have to mention something that is also made of carbon - diamond!
The reason why this thing is so hard is due to the special cubic crystal structure inside. Each carbon atom in the diamond is tightly bound to the other four carbon atoms, making it look like a regular tetrahedron. The covalent bond is strong, so the hardness is also high, but it also becomes very fragile due to structural problems.
Therefore, federal scientific researchers proposed a hypothesis as early as the 20th century, which is to improve the performance of materials by changing and adjusting the atomic arrangement density and material structure.
The creation that perfectly fits this theory is graphene! The carbon atoms inside it are arranged in a very tight and more perfect hexahedral honeycomb lattice structure, which gives it extraordinary hardness and toughness, and it can even stretch like rubber.
According to the experimental data recorded within Zhinao, graphene with a thickness of only 100 nanometers can easily withstand a weight of more than two tons without breaking. What if the thickness is increased to ten centimeters, which is 100 million nanometers?
Lin En didn't know, because even the energy reactive armor of interstellar battleships does not need such "thick" graphene. You have to know that this thing was mass-produced, produced and used at the end of the 21st century, and the cost of each kilogram of single-layer graphene is still an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, they are wizards who can freely manipulate the elements themselves, so the cost of extracting and manufacturing graphene is greatly reduced. This is the convenience of magic...
After carefully writing down all the information, Lin En began to experiment. Under the surge of magic power, a large amount of carbon elements were produced. Under the control of powerful mental power, they were tightly arranged and combined together.
Lin En imagined the shape of a honeycomb in his mind, but it was not an easy task to weave a perfect six-sided lattice structure with elements at the atomic level.
After failing dozens of times, Lin En barely managed to produce one unit of graphene.
Fortunately, with experience, his speed became much faster. By midnight, Lin En had successfully created a complete circle of graphene shield around his body.
The amount of magic power consumed to make this thing was not a small amount, almost consuming one-fifth of his magic power reserves.
Although the more complex the deconstruction of the mimicry's material, the more intense its consumption, this is a bit too exaggerated...
They are just creations of carbon.
Lin En was somewhat puzzled, but he did not spend too much energy on exploring the increased magic power consumption. Instead, he studied the new type of protective magic he had developed.
Graphene has a very high light transmittance, reaching over 97%. Combined with its atomic-level thickness, it is difficult to see directly with the naked eye.
But through perception, it is particularly clear that countless carbon atoms are neatly arranged like honeycombs, overlapping and continuous for thousands of layers, and the thickness reaches about 2,000 nanometers...
"What a perfect creation..." Lin En couldn't help but exclaim, and was also amazed at the exquisite deconstruction of graphene.
Next, it’s time to test its protective capabilities.
Lin En stretched out his hand, and a sword several meters long, emitting magical fluorescence, appeared in his hand.
This is the high-frequency vibration particle knife that was used against Saint Cynthia before!
“Cut!” Lin En showed no mercy and used all his strength to chop directly.
The particle knife vibrates hundreds of thousands of times per second and can achieve cutting at the atomic level. Its power is self-evident. This strike easily cut through the divine protection that Cynthia had built around her body, and chopped off her arm with one sword!
The powerful particle knife soon collided with the six-sided lattice structure shield.
What does 2,000 nanometers mean? It is only equivalent to 0.2 ten-thousandths of a centimeter. Even with a microscope, it would take a while to find it. However, this graphene shield, which is 10,000 times thinner than paper, managed to withstand the powerful attack! At the microscopic level, the thickness of the graphene was only torn to about one-fifth.
"Very good!" Lin En nodded with great satisfaction. You know, he didn't hold back at all just now.
Not to mention that this is not the strongest protection state of the graphene shield.
Because this thing has another important property, that is, it conducts electricity! And it is one of the best conductors!
For example, one of the Federation's electromagnetic technologies uses graphene's efficient energy storage and conductive properties to form a powerful electromagnetic field on the surface of an interstellar battleship to resist the invasion of cosmic rays.
Lynn felt that if a thick enough graphene shield could be made, combined with an electromagnetic barrier as magnetic field protection, the power of a close-range nuclear explosion should be reduced to a level that a legendary wizard could barely withstand.
However, his previous attempt at the legendary spell [Real Realm] had almost exhausted his mental and magical powers. Considering the need to deal with emergencies, Lin En did not continue his research and practice of magic, but returned directly to the City of Kerosene.
Patrol guards with muskets could be seen everywhere on the streets. All the way to the meeting room, even Lin En was questioned several times.
This was obviously because Cynthia's previous disguised invasion had made the parliament alert, so the level of defense was suddenly raised several times.
Lin En did not use his status to ask for any privileges. He cooperated very well and completed the inspection, but in his heart he was thinking about the preparations for the next war.
Now, apart from how to conquer the holy city and deal with the false god, the most important and difficult issue they face is actually management.
The entire empire was simply too large. Even though they had selected many grassroots managers within the kingdom through the affairs officer selection examination, it was still far from enough.
As for the progress of the war, Lin En is still very confident. After more than a year of preparation, the parliament is no longer as short of people and supplies as it was when it first came out of the wizard land to capture the royal capital.
The newly trained musketeers alone numbered over 70,000 men, and with the addition of a portion of the kingdom's troops, the number of men they could mobilize exceeded 150,000.
This is far from the limit of what the kingdom can bear!
The mechanized planting on large farms and the introduction of artificial starch technology have almost freed the kingdom's subjects from the most basic problem of food shortage. They may not eat well, but at least they can have enough to eat.
There are countless civilians who are eager to sign up to join the army. If they want, they can increase the number of troops to more than 300,000 at any time.
However, what Lynn wanted was a well-trained, professional army with strict military discipline, not a group of cannon fodder and bandits with no military discipline.
After entering the conference room, Lin En immediately asked someone to find Vittorio, who was conducting research and transformation work on the magic circle, and asked him about the reserves of tritium and deuterium fuel, and most importantly, when the next promotion ceremony could begin.
"Probably three days later." Vittorio said thoughtfully.
It takes a lot of energy to become a legendary wizard. Last time, it took hundreds of wizards proficient in thunder magic to evaporate half of the lake to gather enough energy.
There was also the issue of magic power. All of the council's magic stone reserves had been used for the promotion of the two of them. In order to gather the magic stones for promotion as quickly as possible, Vittorio had sent all of the council's idle wizards to the magic stone mines to mine ten days ago.
For this, he suffered a lot of criticism, and few great wizards were willing to do such easy, hard work.
But there is no other good way. The magic stone is very hard and has broken several mining drills. Before improving the mining methods, the cutting magic of the great wizards is more useful.
"By the way, I heard from Aurora that you didn't have any extra fuel when you were promoted, but you still managed to get the nuclear fusion reactor working again, and even released more powerful energy?" Vittorio suddenly asked.
"Yes, you can understand it as secondary nuclear fusion." Lin En explained the general principle as concisely as possible.
Vittorio's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked, "In this case, is it possible to carry out a third or even a fourth nuclear fusion?"
The fusion of tritium and deuterium produces helium, and the fusion of helium produces carbon. Logically speaking, carbon ranks sixth in the periodic table, so it should be able to continue to fuse upwards.
If they could do that, they wouldn't have to bother extracting heavy hydrogen from water. Just collecting the fuel once would be enough to promote several legendary wizards.
"How can it be that easy?" Lynn rolled his eyes.
They were lucky enough to complete two nuclear fusions in the reactor. The requirements for carbon fusion were extremely stringent and only existed in the cores of heavier stars. Their own power was simply not enough to meet the conditions.
After Lynn's explanation, Vittorio had no choice but to give up this wonderful idea and instead started to study the improvement of alchemy.
After being promoted to Legend, the increased power gave Vittorio many new ideas. The magic models of [Fall of Sky] and [End - Atomic Breath] that Lin En had given him before broadened his horizons.
These two kinds of legendary magic may not be impossible to perform through alchemical means.
…
Three days passed in a flash. While Lynn was practicing magic and discussing the transformation of magic with Vittorio, preparations for various wars were also proceeding in an orderly manner.
At nine o'clock every morning, fighter planes would take off on time to various cities in the empire to deliver leaflets and cooperate with spies within the empire to carry out anti-theological science propaganda.
Thousands of armored vehicles equipped with machine guns have entered the kerosene city, airships and fighter planes have been refueled, and more than 100,000 well-trained regular troops are ready to go, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
And this opportunity soon arrived. The promotion of Harof and Aurora was smoother than Lin En had imagined. Both of them had been stuck in the realm of the Six-Ring Great Wizard for more than a hundred years. They had accumulated enough experience and even used some inexplicable means to make their computing power break through the limit of this realm.
Combined with the experience provided by Lynn and Vittorio, both promotions were smooth sailing.
Harof, who was the last to step out of the fusion furnace, convened a new round of wizard meetings before he had time to feel the power and beauty of this transcendental level of life.
With the support of nearly 90% of the votes from 153 members, the parliament soon officially announced that the war to end the church's rule and disintegrate the empire officially began today!
At the same time, news came from the empire that hundreds of thousands of troops assembled by the church on the border launched an attack at the same time.
"Very good, very good, they actually dare to attack head-on!" Harov was quite surprised.
However, there is no need to defend the city this time. They are not afraid even if the false god leads the army personally.
"Then let's go to the Holy City and defeat them all!" Lin En said firmly.
