Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 607

Chapter 607: Chapter 271: Extracting Uranium Chapter 607: Chapter 271: Extracting Uranium Yan Fei was worrying about the electricity supply on Misty Island when he immediately received a huge surprise from Yang Qi, as Yang Qi had actually designed a Super Nuclear Power Station. Once this power station was built, it would completely solve the energy issues of Misty Island.

Seeing Yan Fei's delighted expression, Yang Qi continued, “We already possess all the other necessary technology for this Super Nuclear Power Station, so that's entirely feasible. However, there's one thing: the Super Nuclear Power Station requires a material that can withstand high temperatures, a material that must at least be able to resist temperatures of 6000 Celsius degrees.”

Yan Fei was startled; current high-temperature resistant materials could only withstand temperatures below 4000 Celsius degrees. Yang Qi was actually asking for a material that could withstand 6000 Celsius degrees–where was he to find such a thing? At this point, Yan Fei realized that Yang Qi was not aware of the actual situation and had merely made what he considered the best design based on his professional knowledge. To achieve the best results, he had even used some materials in the design of the Super Nuclear Power Station technology that did not yet exist in reality.

Yan Fei was about to discuss the actual situation with Yang Qi when he suddenly remembered the black sphere he had retrieved from the magma lake under the desert just outside Las Vegas in The United States of America. That black sphere had been located in the scorching magma lake, which had a temperature of at least between 1000-2000 Celsius degrees, but it did not conduct any heat at all; Yan Fei did not feel hot standing on top of it.

Therefore, that black sphere must have a function that resists high temperatures, and it now lay in Universal Space. When he collected the black sphere, Yan Fei had no idea how large it was until he put it into Universal Space and discovered that its volume was beyond his imagination.

The diameter of that black sphere reached 20 meters, a perfect sphere. After Yan Fei's calculations, he found that its density was incredibly high, reaching 100 tons/cubic meter. The total weight of the black sphere came out to be 314,000 tons, no wonder Yan Fei almost fainted from exhaustion of his Spiritual Power when he collected it.

Then Yan Fei found it odd, given the black sphere's enormous density, far beyond any substance on Earth, how was it floating in the magma lake at that time?

Yan Fei then had more questions. The physical and chemical properties of the black sphere were very peculiar; not only was its density high, but it also did not conduct heat, entirely different from other elements on Earth, suggesting it was a brand-new Unknown Element. Moreover, from the environment at the time, it appeared highly likely that the black sphere had fallen to Earth from Outer Space.

After obtaining the black sphere, Yan Fei had only taken preliminary measurements and had not yet had the opportunity to fully research it. Now that Yang Qi needed a high-temperature resistant material, Yan Fei immediately thought of the element comprising the black sphere. Since the black sphere could maintain its temperature unchanged in searing magma, it indicated that it did not conduct heat; it might well be a super high-temperature resistant material.

There was no one more suitable than Yang Qi to study the black sphere. Therefore, Yan Fei promptly operated within Universal Space, using the mini-production workshop there to collect the black sphere, then scanned it, discovering it was a solid sphere, with the same element both inside and out, very pure.

Luckily, the hardness of the black sphere wasn't too high, just slightly harder than steel. This made it easy for Yan Fei to use the mini-production workshop to scrape a layer of material off the black sphere. He then placed this tiny amount of substance into a box, took it out from Universal Space, and handed it to Yang Qi.

Yan Fei said,” This is a substance I've obtained. It has a very high density and doesn't conduct heat. You can study it closely to see what it is and whether it can be used in heat-resistant materials.”

Yang Qi took the box and found a small amount of black powder inside. There wasn't much of the black powder, but it was extremely heavy, appearing to weigh at least five or six kilograms. He immediately became interested; even setting everything else aside, the astonishing density alone indicated that the substance was extraordinary.

Yang Qi said, “I will conduct a detailed study of this black powder and will also verify the technology for the Super Nuclear Power Station.”

After speaking, Yang Qi went straight to his laboratory to research the black powder, leaving Yan Fei behind.

Two days later, Yan Fei was on the construction site with Wen Rou, supervising the main construction of the Terminal Illness Hospital, which was nearing completion. Just then, Yang Qi suddenly appeared, led by the security staff, and, disregarding Wen Rou beside them, pulled Yan Fei into his laboratory.

In Yang Qi's laboratory, beneath his calm expression, there was an excitement he couldn't hide. He handed Yan Fei a piece of paper and said, “Yan Fei, this is the analysis of your black powder. I've confirmed that it is absolutely not any kind of element discovered on Earth, and it couldn't be formed in Earth's environment, so it must have come from Outer Space.”

Yan Fei took the paper and saw it filled with various chemical symbols and numbers. With his previous level of education, he couldn't understand it at all. He gave an embarrassed smile and said, “Yang Qi, just tell me directly, what use does this stuff have?”
