Looking at the sowhat distressed Wang Qiang, Lin Li stepped forward and patted his beloved disciple's shoulder.
Then he took the mass spectrum from her hand and studied it carefully.
For mass spectrum, once the positions of peptide chain fragntation are determined, finding the substances or similar intervals becos relatively simple.
Because peptide chains are polar, except for a few cyclic ones, other peptide chains have asymtric ends:
The end with a free α-amino group is called the amino end or N-terminal, and the end with a free α-carboxyl group is called the carboxyl end or C-terminal.
Among them, N-terminal fragnt ions are the B series, and C-terminal fragnt ions are the Y series.
Then you can back calculate in this direction.
Even if this substance doesn't have related records in the database, back calculating its composition isn't difficult, unless it's absurdly composed of dark matter.
As a biology authority, Lin Li's operational experience in this area is extrely rich, so he simply started calculating with a pen and paper.
After a short while, his pupils also suddenly constricted, and his blood pressure soared.
The last ti this expression appeared on his face was when Yu Lian had just entered Chixian City and witnessed three swords floating in Wei Mansion's Martial Arts Arena.
Clearly, this is yet another developnt that defies his worldviews.
In previous research related to the L17 cultivation module, the rabbits had already analyzed so aspects of spiritual energy.
Although the exact composition of spiritual energy is still unknown.
But don't forget, once the concentration of spiritual energy reaches the threshold of 38.8%, it automatically degrades into other gases.
The concentration ratios of these gases differ from air—so gases are more concentrated, others less so, yet they precisely ensure that the concentration of spiritual energy remains at 38.8%.
These gases, though they cannot irreversibly synthesize spiritual energy, can have their relative molecular weight of spiritual energy deduced through gas total volu in the chemistry field, which is relatively easy and belongs to high school elective difficulty.
According to Wang Qiang's previous statistics, the relative molecular mass of a standard unit of spiritual energy is...
236!
While in the mass spectrum Lin Li held, the back-calculated polyr's relative molecular mass is also 236.
Further, according to the angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy comparison on defect phase, it's certain this crystal polyr is in the gapped phase of condensed matter physics!
And in the Carifa state, the gapped phase can ignore the density problem.
That is to say... this polyr's phase representation is completely equivalent to spiritual energy—whether from a macro or micro perspective!
So part of the crystallized entities in the beast crystal is actually...
Solidified spiritual energy!!!
Moreover, it's of nearly pure concentration!
Bear in mind.
The rabbits had tried various thods previously and couldn't break the concept of spiritual energy concentration at 38.8%.
Even stabilizing spiritual energy into solid—in truth, even low-purity liquefaction wasn't achievable.
Yet beast crystals can solidify spiritual energy into crystals.
This is a revelation that could shake the heavens.
In terms of its nature, it could easily be ranked among the top five important events following the appearance of the light gate!
But the shock doesn't end here.
Lin Li, after marveling, continued to look at the mass spectrum, his brow furrowed once more:
"Wait a minute, sothing's off... why are there three extra hydrogens, making the relative molecular mass of the polyr cycle 236?"
As everyone knows.
The mass spectroter asures the mass-to-charge ratio, which literally refers to mass divided by charge.
Organic molecules entering the mass spectroter get bombarded by high-speed electrons inside, easily losing an electron to form a molecular ion with one positive charge.
Evidently, the molecular ion has the sa mass as the original organic molecule, divided by 1 (one positive charge), so the mass-to-charge ratio is equivalent to relative molecular mass.
The peak with the highest value in the mass spectrum is the molecular ion peak, hence the highest value is the relative molecular mass of the organic molecule.
And the relative molecular mass of the prototype chain substance calculated from Wang Qiang's mass spectroter should be 234—students don't need to bother with what this number represents, just knowing that it's a base value is enough; the key issue lies ahead.
A very simple concept in basic chemistry is that the relative atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.
In Wang Qiang's previous findings, there were three extra hydrogens, temporarily ignoring arrangent and focusing on addition based on the principle of existence rationality.
Thus, the relative molecular mass of this polyr should be 234 3=237, a theoretical value.
But at this mont, the detected relative molecular mass is only 236, which is the asured value.
And gaseous spiritual energy is also 236.
So where did that '1' go?
At a microscopic level, a disparity in relative molecular mass can be worlds apart.
Especially when the missing elent is hydrogen!
In the formula of hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium, hydrogen tops the periodic table, the lightest elent in the world, and it's also the most abundant elent!
Imagine.
While assembling a car, the engineer marked on the design blueprint 237 positions needing screws and also prepared the corresponding number of screws.
However, the workshop workers used only 236 screws during assembly, and that remaining screw and screw hole vanished, yet the car still functions normally!
This is a piece of information that sends shivers down one's spine when pondered.
In a fantasy novel, the air temperature globally would have at least ward by three degrees with a gasp of astonishnt.
At the sa ti, Lin Li's gaze was firmly fixed on that monster crystal, and finally, he shook his head with a complex expression:
"No wonder this monster crystal has so many functions. It turns out it's a polyr of spiritual energy. I see, I see.....
If the cultivators in the Damo Realm knew about this, it would probably cause a huge uproar....."
Spiritual energy is currently considered by all authority experts among the rabbits as the alpha substance.
This ans it possesses very strong dynamism and reactiveness, capable of reacting with almost any matter and optimizing it positively.
It is sowhat like a special, powerful plugin.
After monsters break through to the third level, a large amount of spiritual energy, under so special forces, aggregates into monster crystals—or an important part of monster crystals, giving monster crystals various magical abilities.
For example, in alchemy, adding an abundance of high-purity spiritual energy crystals to the concoction and improving various spiritual materials under the catalysis of the pill fire naturally optimizes and enhances the quality of the pills.
Spirit Pill, as the na implies, its core lies in the word 'spirit'.
Without spiritual energy, spirit dicine and materials cannot grow.
The sa theory applies to artifact refining and arrays.
With the amplification of spiritual energy, both magical artifacts and arrays gain enhanced efficacy—magical artifacts may even contain so form of increased effect in a crystalline physical state, similar to how many alloys contain so tal elents.
Of course, the formation process of monster crystals must not be simply due to the compression of spiritual energy; it certainly involves other special steps.
It's just that these steps might even be unknown to the third-level monsters themselves.
anwhile, Wang Qiang had also recovered from the previous shock.
She suddenly recalled a sentence once said by an experienced Senior Wei Qiangsheng, who could always appraise treasures reliably:
In so respects, a monster crystal might be considered a heavenly treasure nurtured with the monster as the soil.
This statent unexpectedly hit the nail on the head today!
As a genius from the special youth class at the University of Science and Technology of China, Wang Qiang could naturally lead an entire team despite having older senior brothers and sisters in the group due to her capabilities.
She was at least in that echelon widely acknowledged by everyone.
So, she quickly thought of another problem and hurriedly asked Lin Li:
"Teacher, what polyhedral shape is the crystallization of the monster crystal?"
In the microscopic realm, there are currently seven known crystal systems.
Naly cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, trigonal, hexagonal, and triclinic.
If left untreated, or after adding base-centered, face-centered, and body-centered, there are 7X4=28 kinds of spatial lattice forms in each crystal system.
However, out of these 28 patterns, 14 cannot maintain the original symtry or can be simplified into a simpler form while maintaining symtry. Therefore, there are only 14 spatial lattice forms.
Now, with full knowledge of the crystal unit cell, relative molecular weight, and macroscopic characteristics of non-condensed systems (i.e., gaseous spiritual energy), Lin Li quickly understood Wang Qiang's idea:
"Are you saying...we could attempt reverse research?"
Wang Qiang nodded heavily and said:
"That missing '1' is indeed important, but given the urgency of the current situation, I believe that cracking the monster crystal is more critical in giving us a high-concentration reference target.
If so, then could we attempt to reverse the entire process, that is, revert it from solid back into gas?
Is there a possibility of obtaining high concentrations of spiritual energy through this process? Or will it still dissipate after reaching 38.8%?
If it dissipates, is it instantaneous or a continuous process?
If we manage to breakthrough at this stage, our research speed will see significant enhancent."
As Wang Qiang said.
Now that it's understood that spiritual energy can form solid crystals, rabbits might have found a breakthrough in various applications.
It ans no longer being limited to mindlessly dealing with gaseous spiritual energy—after all, this stuff has a cap of 38.8%, no matter how one tries changing positions.
The fact that high-concentration spiritual energy can aggregate into solids indicates that there must be a phase within the monster's body preventing the degradation of spiritual energy.
Should this step be cracked, rabbits could venture into an entirely new domain.
Even consider expanding the idea.
Could it's possible to directly separate the spiritual energy from the monster crystal through micro-manipulation and turn it into a pop ice for the cultivators to consu?
Despite being a solid, the unit mass crystal volu of monster crystals is on the nanoter or even femtoter scale, smaller than many gaseous molecules.
Lin Li quickly thought of this: it is an extrely feasible and promising direction for research!
Considering the major implications of discovering monster crystals, which could impact the overall strategic advancent of the rabbits in the long run, and since this research project exceeds what Wang Qiang or the Plant Biology Laboratory could manage alone.
Therefore, Lin Li handed over the on-site command to Zeng Gu Cheng and personally rushed back to the base with Lin Ziming, reporting relevant matters with topmost urgency.
The core layer attached great importance to the information upon receiving it, given that cracking the monster crystal essentially encompasses all areas of life sciences, even propelling montum for the long-stalled four major pitfalls at ho!
Thus, after detailed resolutions, a comprehensive project centered on cracking the monster crystal was born:
This project appointed Lin Li as the direct person in charge, with multiple academician-level deputies taking part in frontline research, with a focus level equal to that of the spatial bag project.
