Chapter 700 - 433 Divine Blood
Fiddling with the crystal that recorded the Robert Explosion Skill in his hands, Colin sorted through his train of thought.
First and foremost, what could be confirmed was that the Robert Explosion Skill indeed involved nuclear explosions, just as he had thought.
As everyone knows, there are two types of nuclear explosions: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion; the latter is often much more complex and powerful than the former.
The Robert Explosion Skill belonged to the former, nuclear fission.
However, the specifics of this witchcraft, when compared with nuclear fission from his previous life, had some differences.
Specifically, the introduction of Magic Power had caused some unique changes to occur in the nuclear fission reaction within the Robert Explosion Skill.
To put it simply, the underlying principle of nuclear fission involves heavier atomic nuclei splitting into lighter atoms under the bombardment of artificially created neutron streams, acquiring a neutron in the process and releasing a tremendous amount of energy; it also emits new neutrons.
These new neutrons would then hurtle in all directions, potentially striking new heavier atomic nuclei and repeating the process, causing more atomic nuclei to split, thus continuously proceeding until the material was exhausted, culminating in a complete nuclear fission explosion.
The process may seem tedious, but in actuality, it takes place at the speed of light and can be completed in the blink of an eye.
This cascading process is also known as a chain reaction.
Since the energy produced by the splitting of a single atomic nucleus isn’t very significant, a nuclear explosion requires a chain reaction.
