Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 189: Paradise: Natural Reactor

……

Wu Wen looked at the mycelium in front of him and was convinced that he had come to the right place.

He continued on his way more cautiously.

When you reach the end, the view suddenly opens up to a wider underground space, which is one or two thousand meters long, wide and high.

The place where Wu Wen is at this moment is a cave on the rock wall.

Looking around, the rock wall was covered with similar holes, and the whole scene looked like a huge honeycomb.

Wu Wen immediately understood that the passage leading here was not the only one he took.

Every hole in the rock wall represents a passage, and every passage will eventually converge here.

This is the core of the underground space under the Huangshayuan.

He looked up and saw that the entire space was a huge crystal ore mine.

Crystal minerals of various shapes are exposed on the top, bottom, left and right of the rock wall.

Some of these crystal minerals can emit light, while others cannot.

But under the reflection of those luminous crystal minerals, the non-luminous minerals also emit a faint light.

The entire mine is filled with colorful light, which is magnificent.

These colorful lights blend with each other during refraction, like ribbons of glow in the sky, running through the entire space.

However, behind this beauty lies a murderous intent.

The cavalrymen behind Wu Wen just took a closer look and seemed to be attracted by this charming light, and their minds began to wander.

"return to!"

Wu Wen's shout awakened everyone from their confusion.

He ordered them to retreat until the scene in the cave completely disappeared from their sight.

"You wait here for me!" Wu Wen ordered.

After being confused just now, everyone knew that there were many dangers ahead. If they followed, they would only become a burden. So, they all stayed where they were.

"My lord, you have to be careful!" He Li warned with concern.

Wu Wen, holding the steel mace, came to the cave entrance again.

He carefully observed the surrounding situation, then jumped up, hopping back and forth on the rock wall, and soon reached the bottom of the cave.

Move carefully among the crystal ores.

Although these ores have not been mined or polished, their various forms all present angular geometric shapes.

Wu Wen investigated carefully.

Come to a regular hexagonal crystal ore that can self-luminous.

Reach out with a hand.

Wu Wen could clearly sense that the reason this crystal ore could emit fluorescence was because it carried radioactive substances and could spread radiation outward.

Take your hand back.

Look up and around.

He was a little confused at this moment: How was this place formed?
Because according to his observation and analysis, this is not a naturally formed mine at all.

The reason is that the ore distribution here is very uneven, and some things that are not symbiotic minerals also exist together. This phenomenon is contrary to common sense.

But such a large mine has no signs of human excavation, so how was it formed?
Wu Wen was full of confusion at this moment.

Continue walking towards the center of the mine.

Arriving at the center, Wu Wen looked down at his feet.

The entire piece of crystal ore, which was more than ten square meters, flat and emitting fluorescent light, was laid out in the center like a piece of floor.

After observing for a while.

Wu Wen gently slid the tip of the steel mace in his hand over it.

The steel mace and the ore rubbed against each other, making a crackling sound.

Finally, he suddenly raised the steel mace high and smashed it hard on the ore.

There was a loud cracking sound, and the entire crystal ore shattered into pieces in an instant.

Wu Wen did not stop, and swung down a few more steel maces. Soon he cleared a space under his feet, exposing the real rock layer under the crystal ore.

It was a layer of dark brown rock, emitting warm temperature.

Wu Wen reached out and examined it carefully.

He discovered that the temperature of this rock layer was not due to any geothermal magma as a heat source underneath.

Rather, it is the rock formations themselves that are constantly generating energy and radiating it outwards.

"…reactor?" Wu Wen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Based on the various signs he discovered, he came up with a bold guess: a natural energy reactor might be hidden beneath the entire vein!
His conjecture was not made up out of thin air.

Because Wu Wen knew that there were indeed natural nuclear reactors in this world.

Natural nuclear reactors occur when radioactive elements accumulate in large quantities in one place and eventually ignite a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, in which the elements split and create other elements while releasing powerful amounts of energy.

He looked around again.

The ore in this mine does contain some radioactive elements.

Moreover, the distribution of these ores and the abnormal heating of the rock strata are consistent with the characteristics of a natural nuclear reactor.

This natural energy reactor has been operating for a long geological period, continuously releasing energy that is enough to change the properties and distribution of the surrounding rocks.

This also explains why the distribution of ore in the mine is so abnormal and why the rock formations emit a warm temperature.

—

Witness the wonders of nature.

While Wu Wen was feeling emotional, he did not forget the real purpose of his visit.

The reactor is right here, and he can study it slowly in the future. His primary goal now is still Hua Nu and the plant in her memory that is likely to give birth to a spirit.

He had already arrived at the underground core, with the natural reactors all under his feet. Although he had not seen the plant yet, he guessed that it was nearby.

Wu Wen looked up at the various cave entrances and passages on the surrounding rock walls.

This is a core place. The Gaochang people who conducted experiments here could not have never been here.

As long as you have been here, there will definitely be traces of human intervention left behind.

With Wu Wen's keen observation, he soon discovered that one of the cave entrances had some traces of human expansion.

He jumped up and came to the entrance of the cave.

Upon entering, we saw more traces of human activities left in the passage.

After walking along this passage for about a few hundred steps, Wu Wen heard the sound of people.

He approached quietly.

We came to a wide mountain space.

Wu Wen stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around.

He saw a huge palace in front of him, and he was currently standing on the rock wall right behind the palace.

Overlooking the structure of the entire palace.

The palace is built in a square with a huge cave in the center.

And inside this cave, there grow some strange plants that emit fluorescent light.

Although he could only peek into a corner of the cave entrance, Wu Wen was already certain that this place was the scene in Hua Nu's memory.

He turned his head and inquired again, carefully observing the entire palace that surrounded the cave.

After a long time, sporadic human figures could be seen moving around.

The figure flashed quickly, and it didn't take long for Wu Wen to sneak into the palace.

Without being noticed by anyone, he arrived in front of the cave, jumped in, and entered.

The figure fell.

Wu Wen stepped on the soft fungal blanket with his feet, holding the steel mace tightly in his hand, and looked around carefully.

The environment inside this cave is indeed very different from that outside and is extremely strange.

There are plants with branches but no leaves. The fungal carpet on the ground is covered with fungal bodies and flowers of all sizes. The smallest hyphae are wriggling and swaying slightly, and the whole cave seems to be alive.

After making sure there was no danger, Wu Wen walked forward.

When he lifted his legs and left, the fungal carpet that had been trampled immediately returned to its original state, so there was no trace left on the road he walked.

After walking a distance, Wu Wen began to wonder: Aren't there many huge insects here? Why didn't he see any?
Perhaps because the journey had been too smooth, Wu Wen couldn't help but feel cautious.

But despite being cautious, Wu Wen did not retreat.

The reason why he dared to come alone was that he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

After moving forward for a distance, a huge multi-legged beetle finally appeared in front of us. It was more than two meters tall and nearly four meters long.

Its appearance seemed to be intended to block Wu Wen's way.

Without any hesitation, Wu Wen used his greatest strength like a lion attacking a rabbit.

Arcs of electricity flashed all around him, and he looked like the god of thunder, with electric current wrapped around his body.

In a flash of lightning, his figure suddenly shot out and rushed in front of the giant insect's head at an extremely fast speed.

Then, the steel mace in his hand had become hot and glowing red due to the electric current, and he swung it down from top to bottom, smashing the giant insect's head into pieces.

Keep going.

During this period, there were also huge and strange alien insects that wanted to stop him, but they were no match for Wu Wen.

He just charged forward and smashed him to death easily with one blow of his mace.

Finally, we arrived at the very center of the cave and saw the giant tree made up of many vines.

Arrive at destination.

Seeing the purpose of this trip, Wu Wen couldn't help but smile.

Didn't he come all the way here just to see the true form of this giant tree?
The giant tree that Hua Nu saw in her memory was just a shadow, and the information that could be obtained from it was very limited.

If you want to get its full content, you have to come and see the real giant tree in person.

Back then at the Turkic sacrificial site, the centuries-old memory inheritance that Wu Wen obtained from the sacrificial spirits was of great help to him.

The reason why he was able to make such rapid progress in such a short period of time was all thanks to that experience.

Therefore, this is also the main purpose of Wu Wen's coming here.

However, just when Wu Wen was about to observe.

I saw the vines on the trunk of the giant tree begin to move slowly, opening a gap in it, and a light yellow amber-like oval ball appeared inside.

Seeing this, Wu Wen immediately tightened his grip on the steel mace, and arcs of electricity flashed rapidly on his body.

Then, the pale yellow ball actually flowed out from the tree trunk like water, and in the process, it seemed to be evaporated, and strands of crystal-light fibers rose up and gathered in mid-air.

In the end, a smooth human body was formed, half a person's height, with a human shape, no facial features, and neither male nor female.

"Spirit!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Wen muttered to himself.

Ever since he saw the spiritual weapon from his master, Wu Wen has conducted in-depth research on spiritual materials.

Spiritual materials are nanomaterials, and there are many ways to make nanomaterials, such as physical, chemical and biological methods.

According to his reasoning, the method they obtained it should be the biological method!

A method of synthesizing nanomaterials using organisms or their metabolites.
