On the cliff.
Hearing Wang Qiang's exclamation.
Lin Ziming and Li Bai'an exchanged a glance, and quickly hurried to her side.
After arriving at the area where the instrunt was placed.
Li Bai'an first directed his gaze to Wang Qiang's hand, imdiately recognizing the origin of the instrunt in her hand:
"Hm? Ion Beam Instrunt? Little Wang, did you detect any special particles?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang raised her head with a sowhat complex expression.
Her eyebrows were twitching at this mont, and she said word by word:
"Academician Li, Colonel Lin, I found...
a small amount of Y particles in the air."
Seeing Lin Ziming and Li Bai'an sowhat puzzled, she continued:
"Y particles are the condensation particles produced by the microorganisms in the Earth's Vein Fla, also known as...
Evil Energy!"
Upon hearing this, Li Bai'an quickly took the ion beam instrunt from her hand.
The instrunt looked sowhat like a household vacuum cleaner, and the screen displayed several codes at this mont:
CM2, BT5, GK13, ER6.
CM2 represents oxygen molecules, while the latter two are carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas molecules.
And the last ER6...
is the designation given to Y particles by the researchers.
The ion beam instrunt or microparticle field is actually a very peculiar domain.
In this domain.
As long as you have captured such a particle once, you can basically fully analyze its general properties.
Even particles like neutrinos, which are extrely difficult to capture, follow this rule.
Long, long ago, around the end of August back then.
After Liu Xiangqian's team discovered Y particles from the Earth's Vein Fla, their energy level was thoroughly recorded on the energy level spectrum.
Y particles, as a special type, surpassed the scope of ordinary gas-phase spectrotry, yet could be fully captured by the ion beam instrunt.
Thus, Wang Qiang quickly detected the presence of these particles with a re sweep of the instrunt.
At this mont.
Wang Qiang held the ion beam instrunt in her hand, murmuring:
"So that's it, so that's it... With Y particles present, everything makes sense."
Li Bai'an and Lin Ziming were sowhat puzzled.
However, unlike Lin Ziming, who was still a student.
Li Bai'an had no shortage of professional knowledge; it's just that he had only recently co into contact with the secrets of the Damo Realm, and many studies from earlier stages hadn't been fully understood.
So, at this mont, he hadn't fully connected the situation with his knowledge reserve:
"Little Wang, can you explain the situation thoroughly, from beginning to end?"
Wang Qiang nodded, and said:
"Academician Li, you should have seen in the records, back when we were studying the Earth's Vein Fla, we found a kind of unknown microorganism in a free state at the heart of the fla.
This unknown microorganism could survive in super high temperatures but couldn't detach from the heart of the fla—this was the finding back then, but now we've managed to completely separate it.
Its characteristics are similar to nitrogen-fixing microorganisms, capable of directly converting free nitrogen in the air into nitrogen-containing compounds, recorded in Chapter Forty-seven."
Then Wang Qiang gestured towards the air, saying:
"Clearly, there's a special environnt near the cliff that allows the survival of so condensation microorganisms.
Because of such microorganisms, the total amount of nitrogen near the cliff is not high—it's all absorbed by them, undergoing special reactions to generate condensation Y particles.
And for this reason..."
Li Bai'an realized and picked up the conversation:
"And for this reason, the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain is so cold, even historically referred to as the Ghostly Realm."
Upon hearing this sentence, Lin Ziming suddenly thought of sothing, and clapped his hands in realization:
"No wonder, no wonder, I wondered why it was so cold here, even Clan Leader Wei shivered when he first arrived here. At that ti, I thought it was because the protective spiritual energy wasn't circulating."
Just as Lin Ziming ntioned.
Wei Fan, as a cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, even if not like a human-shaped Stark, had body quality several tis stronger than ordinary people, easily.
Even while reserving spiritual energy locally without circulating inner sea, logically, he shouldn't be stimulated by cold winds.
But if it's the evil energy ford by Y particles, it's different. Even if in very small quantities, its instant temperature and penetration are considerable.
Indeed, after Wang Qiang discovered the air contained a small amount of evil energy, many previously abnormal situations could be resolved smoothly.
Then Lin Ziming abruptly thought of sothing else and asked:
"Wait, I still have a question I don't quite understand.
The coldness of Qingcheng Mountain can be felt near the entrance, aning that area should also contain a small amount of Y particles, right?
But why is it that only near the cliff is there a small amount of spiritual energy, and only here does the total nitrogen amount get frighteningly low?"
Hearing this, Li Bai'an lifted his head to et Wang Qiang's gaze.
Then, the faces of these two widely acknowledged individuals revealed a scholarly smile, with Li Bai'an explaining:
"The reason is very simple, these situations indicate one thing:
This is the site of nitrogen-fixing condensation reaction!
Perhaps infected by this scholarly smile, Lin Ziming seed to receive a scientific mindset card, and once again keenly discovered a problem:
"That doesn't make sense, even if near the cliff is the reaction site, the total nitrogen amount should always remain constant, aning the reaction should be replenished by outside...
Wait, are you saying... the reaction doesn't occur continuously?"
Li Bai'an nodded heavily, gesturing:
"There's a high probability that's the case.
This place is like a warehouse; at a fixed ti every day, soone fetches the goods, and the remaining ti is used for 'stock refilling'.
That ans yesterday, when you first arrived at the site, the total nitrogen amount must be significantly lower than now.
As for the 'fetching' ti, it's most likely in..."
Li Bai'an elongated the sound.
This ti, all three spoke in unison:
"Dawn!"
After solving a crucial issue, everyone's mood involuntarily lightened.
Perhaps due to the relaxation of emotions, Wang Qiang suddenly thought of sothing:
"Wait, dawn, dawn, Qingcheng, Qingcheng.....
could Qingcheng Mountain originally be nad Qingchen Mountain?"
Lin Ziming chuckled and said:
"You should ask Zhang Daoling and Emperor Xizong of Tang about that; perhaps that really is the case."
Then he straightened up and said:
"Both of you, the mystery of nitrogen content and Qingcheng Mountain's environnt can be unraveled at any ti, but the overall situation still has no room for complacency.
We still have many questions left unanswered.
For example, the source of spiritual energy and the area of condensation microorganisms, we still don't know where they are.
Furthermore, why are the Y particles and spiritual energy here in such limited quantities?
Are they naturally scarce, or blocked by sothing?
Also, earlier I heard Daoist Huang ntion in the scripture room of the Taoist temple about a rumor, claiming there's an earth palace set by Zhang Daoling beneath Qingcheng Mountain suppressing the Netherworld.
As it turns out.
The Netherworld likely refers to Y particles, i.e. evil energy.
Then the existence possibility of this earth palace is personally considered very high.
Therefore, the crucial point right now is....
Dawn!
We don't know the exact ti 'dawn' refers to, but overall, it's this period.
Estimate three to four hours, roughly.
So everyone hurry up and prepare.
If there's no accident, we might need to request further aid from the organization, prepare to...
excavate the cliff!"
