Chapter 842 The Light of Civilization
As we all know, the principle of sunlight shining on matter to generate high temperatures is very simple.
After absorbing the energy of photons, the electrons in atoms will jump to a higher energy level and be in an excited state. However, this excited state is unstable, and the electrons will return to a lower energy level and release the absorbed energy in the form of heat, thereby increasing the temperature of the object and generating heat.
If you want to focus sunlight without burning objects, you only need to add a cooling device to the object to continuously cool down these overly active atoms.
The purpose of focusing light on the moon is to allow the sunlight radiation to undergo a physical reaction of diffuse reflection of light with the special structure crystals in the lunar soil. The reflected light frequency and spectrum will undergo a fundamental change, thus transforming from solar essence into lunar essence.
However, part of the strong light shining on the moon is reflected, and the other part is converted into heat energy.
These by-products of heat energy are like the heat generated by a computer graphics card. They are waste heat that is seriously harmful to the entire system. If they are not properly handled, it will burn up the moon just like burning up the graphics card.
In reality, there are numerous ways to cool a graphics card, either by installing a fan or using water cooling.
Even if Wen Rui lacks technical capabilities, he can easily solve the waste heat problem by installing water cooling pipes under the surface of the dark side of the moon and performing heat circulation cooling.
What's more, he holds the black technology of Shadow of the Underworld in his hands, which utilizes the characteristics of Bose-Einstein condensate's continuous ultra-low temperature. It is easy and pleasant to absorb and neutralize waste heat, just like soaking a hot graphics card in liquid nitrogen. The cooling effect is very good.
Not a single bit of waste heat will be leaked out, and no matter how strong the sunlight is, when it is focused on the dark side of the moon, it will only output ultra-high-intensity moonlight.
The only flaw is that although the surface can maintain low temperatures for a long time, above the surface is a hell of strong light. Once exposed to direct focused sunlight, even a Golden Immortal cannot withstand it for too long.
The reason why Wen Rui proposed to give compensation and dividends to the three Moon Palace fairies was because it was indeed equivalent to requisitioning half of the moon's land area. If they wanted to take a walk on the dark side of the moon in the future, even if they wore heat-resistant clothes and cast the strongest fire-avoiding spell on themselves, they would still be roasted.
Looking at the void not far from the moon, a large silver sky as bright as a mirror appeared at some point. The reflected moonlight shone on the sky, and after being refracted by a combination of multiple lenses, it finally converged on a gem that emitted bright white light.
The gem greedily absorbed the moonlight. The more it absorbed, the brighter it became.
"Sure enough, that villain came up with these weird and lewd techniques just to refine his own magic weapon. He also kept saying that he wanted to benefit the beasts in the mortal world. I almost got fooled by him!"
Taiyin Xingjun said bitterly: "Chang'e, bring the recording pearl and store all these images in it. I will use it as evidence when I go to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint."
Chang'e looked embarrassed but didn't know what to say so she had to obey the order and took out the photo-taking bead to capture this rare wonder of heaven and earth.
"Such a pure and vast moonlight..."
Diffuse reflection will inevitably cause some leakage of moonlight. Standing on the dividing line between day and night, Jade Rabbit, which has not yet stepped into the area where sunlight is focused, was caught by the leaked afterglow of the moonlight and was immediately cheered up.
Moonlight is different from sunlight. Even if the lumen is extremely strong, it will not produce any thermal effect and can be considered a "cold light".
Just by shining a little bit of the leaked moonlight on the edge area, Jade Rabbit felt that his realm, which had remained unchanged for a long time, had faint signs of improvement.
If you practice breathing and cultivation here every day, one day's work will be equivalent to a year and a half of hard work.
Jade Rabbit was very reluctant to leave, but she bravely said to Taiyin Star Lord: "My Queen, can you please not go and complain? This is simply a treasure land for cultivation. If you don't believe me, you can also try regulating your breathing and practicing Qigong. You will definitely have a different experience."
She said hesitantly, "If you win the lawsuit, the Jade Emperor will order the removal of these strange instruments. I don't know how many more years I will have to waste before I can advance to the Golden Immortal..." "You little girl, you are so ignorant! If you keep saying such selfish and irresponsible nonsense, watch out for yourself!"
The usually dignified and steady Taiyin Star God got angry for a rare time, and roared at him so hard that the Jade Rabbit shrank its neck and dared not say another word.
"Your Highness, please be careful when filing a complaint with the Emperor. After all, the Heavenly Lord of Creation is extremely powerful and has countless followers. If we three female immortals with shallow foundations go against him, I'm afraid there will be no good results."
Chang'e considered her words carefully and advised cautiously.
From a standpoint, she actually wanted to stand on the side of Jade Rabbit. From a personal and public perspective, the Moon Development Plan of the God of Creation did not seem to be a bad thing.
In private.
She was not as greedy for the overflowing moonlight as the Jade Rabbit. She often attended high-level banquets in Heaven and occasionally received the peach reward from the Queen Mother for her good dancing. The pressure of her practice was not very great.
These moonlights are just the icing on the cake.
But Yutu, as her good sister, can benefit from it, and as her elder sister, she should also help them to achieve their goals.
Yu Gong.
The amount of emitted lunar light alone is so huge. After being collected and focused, the amount of lunar light will be an astronomical figure that is difficult to calculate.
Now Wen Xiao Tianzun is indeed misusing public resources for personal gain, using all the moonlight to refine magic weapons, but this is also because the mortal world is now encountering a demonic calamity. Even if the moonlight is spread, the only ones who will benefit from it are the billions of demon insects occupying the mortal world.
When the demonic calamity is resolved in the future, even if Little Heavenly Venerable Wen lets a little moonlight show through his fingers, it will be enough for the animals in the mortal world to enjoy it until their cheeks bulge.
The only ones whose interests were harmed were the Three Immortals of the Moon Palace. They lost half of their activity range for no reason and will never be able to set foot on the dark side of the moon again.
The moon's active area was already small, and losing half of it is simply adding insult to injury. It is like being in prison and the small cell suddenly becomes half the size, from a single room to a solitary confinement cell.
Therefore, the fairy Chang'e could also understand the feelings of the Lord of the Moon. Anyone who was suddenly sentenced from life imprisonment to life confinement would have an emotional breakdown and would absolutely be unwilling to accept it.
"Sister Chang'e, I don't want to offend the traitors in heaven. The fate of Li Jing and Yue Lao is still before our eyes, but the traitor has already forced us into a dead end with no way out. If we don't fight hard, where will we have a place to stay on the moon in the future?"
Taiyin Xingjun said in a worried voice, "Besides, the moon has never changed since ancient times. He made drastic changes right after taking office. Who knows if it will cause immeasurable consequences?"
"In the past, the moonlight shining on the mortal world was indeed rare, but this was all determined by fate. Perhaps it was because the demon race's six senses were incomplete and they did not have the blessing of transcending and ascending to the Tao that they could not enjoy more moonlight. This was their fate."
"No... Madam, please open your eyes and take a look at the mortal world under the night sky. The demon race is definitely not as bad as your stereotype. Now they and the human race work together as one, as close as a family, and have created an incomparably brilliant civilization."
For some reason, Chang'e got so excited that she blurted out these words.
