Yang Qi said, “The greatest use of this substance is as a catalyst. Just a small amount of black powder added to an item as a catalyst can cause a very significant change and enhancement in its properties. Therefore, its applications are extremely broad. I have already conducted numerous simulations in the Technology Extrapolation System and found 128,000 applications.”

“Most importantly, this black powder itself possesses ultrhigh temperature resistance. With our laboratory equipment, we still cannot determine its melting point, but it is definitely over ten thousand degrees Celsius. Thus, adding this black powder can greatly improve materials' resistance to high temperatures. We have conducted experiments, and ordinary heat-resistant materials with a trace of black powder can withstand temperatures of 6500 degrees Celsius. In other words, we have found the heat-resistant materials I was previously seeking.”

Yan Fei was taken aback, not expecting that the element composing the black sphere was so powerful and had so many uses, and it even solved the problem of heat-resistant materials that had been troubling him. He said, “In that case, doesn't that mean there are no more obstacles to building that super nuclear power station?”

Yang Qi said, “After calculations with the Technology Extrapolation System, I realized there were some issues with my previous design, so I made some modifications. Then I had the Auxiliary Brain carry out further extrapolations, and the result was a more perfect design plan. The reason that the system was able to extrapolate this plan so quickly is because I included black powder in the materials. Later, I discovered a significant flaw in my original design, but after the addition of the black powder, that flaw was completely rectified.”

Yan Fei felt completely at ease, but then quickly became concerned again, asking, “How much black powder is needed to construct a nuclear power station?”

Even though the black sphere weighed 314,000 tons, it was the only one found on Earth so far. Once it was used up, there would be none left, so Yan Fei wanted to use it sparingly to avoid depleting it too rapidly, especially since Yang Qi had mentioned its wide range of applications.

Having already carried out projections with the Technology Extrapolation System, Yang Qi already had the related data in mind. He said, “This black powder is actually a completely new element, positioned very late in the periodic table, likely formed during a collision in extreme celestial events. But it doesn't exist as a compound; rather, it exists as a pure element. Adding just one gram of this element to 100 tons of materials can completely change their physical properties. According to my calculations, building a super nuclear power station would require 50 kilograms of this element.”

Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The density of the black powder reached 100 tons per cubic meter. This meant that 50 kilograms was merely equivalent to 0.5 cubic decimeters. Considering the black sphere's total mass of 314,000 tons, this amount was virtually negligible. Obtaining a super nuclear power station for such a small amount of black powder seemed like a very good deal.

So, Yan Fei said, “No problem, I will allocate 50 kilograms of black powder for the equipment processing.”

Yang Qi said, “This black powder is a brand-new element. It's not appropriate to keep calling it black powder, so you should name it.”

After a moment's thought, Yan Fei said, “Let's call it Black Gold. This name won't reveal its applications, and outsiders won't understand what it really means.”

Yang Qi said, “Alright, from now on, I'll refer to it as Black Gold.”

Yan Fei said, “Now that there are no issues with the design of the super nuclear power station, does that mean we can start constructing it?”

Yang Qi shook his head and said, “No, there are many preliminary tasks to be done for the super nuclear power station. It's not enough just to have the design ready. First, you need to determine the location for constructing the super nuclear power station. Because it's clean and safe, there's no need to build it in an inaccessible location. Here's the design drawing of the nuclear power station that I made; you can take a look first.”

Yan Fei opened the tablet that Yang Qi handed over and began looking at the design drawings on it. Since Yang Qi had the Mind Control Device, he could connect to the Auxiliary Brain, transmit his thoughts and ideas, and then through the Auxiliary Brain, connect to the computer terminals in the laboratory, showing his ideas on the computer for other researchers to instantly understand his requirements and follow his instructions. With this method of thought transmission, Yang Qi's work efficiency had greatly increased.

This design drawing of the nuclear power station was also transferred to the tablet by the Auxiliary Brain. Yang Qi had marked out the structure of the super nuclear power station. According to the data on the drawing, Yan Fei noticed that the super nuclear power station was 600 meters in length, 200 meters wide, and 50 meters high, with various components installed within this range.

Considering the terrain of Misty Island in his mind, Yan Fei already had a location in mind for constructing the nuclear power station. He said, “I already have a target location for the nuclear power station and will go with you for an on-site inspection.”

Yang Qi said, “The second thing that needs to be prepared in advance is to find a factory that can produce the equipment needed for the nuclear power station, and then assemble it at the factory site.”
