Fire Camp.

Plant Biology Laboratory.

This very moment.

In a sealed container, there are two devices facing each other like flashlight heads.

The distance between the two heads is about 18 centimeters, which is roughly the average length for everyone, dear readers.

And in this gap.

A cluster of purple electric light is crackling non-stop.

This isn't some black technology, but pure cutting-edge technology.

Generally speaking.

Besides current and lightning in nature, even a tunnel microscope has difficulty 'seeing' real current.

In reality, one of the more commonly used methods for current is the electron double-slit interference experiment.

Electrons pass through two slits like ghosts, hitting the screen behind, eventually forming a pattern like a wave.

That interference pattern is the real current visible to the naked eye.

If it's a conductor, it forms a loop, which represents the flow of electrons inside a circular conductor.

However, as the top national laboratory, Fire Camp does have some other methods for observing high-magnitude Thunder Tribulation.

Such as the adaptively modified ion channel.

This time, the channel is not beryllium ions but strontium ions, which are Sr2+.

Strontium ions are highly toxic ions, but in the laboratory, toxicity has little impact, and their sedimentation characteristics can fully present the Thunder Tribulation above them.

This very moment.

In the vicinity of this setup, Wang Qiang is reporting to Lin Li:

"Teacher, we already have preliminary results from the analysis of the Thunder Tribulation.

Under standard atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of 20°C, and absolute humidity of 11g/m^3.

The voltage of the Thunder Tribulation is approximately 14.46 billion volts, with a single discharge time of about 0.001 seconds.

The instantaneous current is nearly 1 million amperes.

Therefore, the total energy level of a regular lightning bolt within the Thunder Tribulation is roughly 1.446X10^12 joules, discharging approximately 401,406.39 degrees."

"Over 400,000 degrees of electricity..."

Looking at Wang Qiang's report, Lin Li calmly stroked his chin.

The strength of Earth's lightning generally ranges from 1 million volts to 100 million volts, with energy levels typically around a billionth level.

Stronger than regular lightning is a moderate thunderstorm, more common in coastal areas.

The power of a moderate thunderstorm is roughly ten million watts, equivalent to the output power of a small nuclear power plant.

Of course.

This is only instantaneous power since the duration of such a thunderstorm is short.

And above moderate thunderstorms is super lightning.

For instance, the World Meteorological Organization discovered via satellite data that on March 4, 2019, there was a lightning strike in northern Argentina that lasted 16.73 seconds, a standard example of super lightning.

The known longest lightning strike on Earth is 709 kilometers long—yes, a single lightning bolt that long.

It occurred on October 31, 2018, in southern Brazil, also captured by meteorological satellites in space.

The theoretical maximum discharge of such super lightning is 30 million degrees, extremely rare globally:

Bear in mind, Earth's lightning occurs billions of times each year.

At any given moment, over a thousand bolts of lightning are striking Earth, with approximately 100 lightning strikes per second.

With such a frightening occurrence base, super lightning appears only once every 2.6 years.

In the laboratory, Lin Li pondered:

"So, in other words...

The power of a regular lightning bolt in a Thunder Tribulation is about 40% of that of a thunderstorm on Earth?"

He then turned to Zhang Guanghua and instructed:

"Xiaozhang, check the power of ordinary lightning in the Damo Realm, I recall Director Jing and his team have measured this meteorological data."

The Director Jing referred to by Lin Li is Jing Zhengsu of the Zijin Mountain Observatory, who had observed the three suns of the Damo Realm long ago, and is now advancing the satellite-related processes.

The meteorological reports currently held by the command center are limited, so Zhang Guanghua quickly found the relevant information:

"Captain Lin, I've found it.

According to the data.

The energy level of lightning in the Damo Realm is about 20%-28% lower than that of our realm and is far from a high thunderstorm environment."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li exchanged a glance with Zeng Gu Cheng.

It's apparent.

Not only does the Thunder Tribulation Cloud have issues, but the lightning serving as the tribulation carrier is also abnormal.

Bear in mind.

Artificial clouds and modified lightning are actually two different concepts.

The former is akin to a reservoir, utilizing engineering technology to gather water resources for use.

This technology's industrial requirements are quite variable, capable of being achieved both in ancient and modern times.

It could be the Three Gorges Dam, or it could be the Dujiangyan.

In any case, the nature of 'water' remains unaffected.

However, modified lightning is different,

It represents the capability to even modify stored water, requiring much higher technological prowess than artificial clouds, needing at least a basic chemical system.

This is what's meant by the so-called technological baseline.

Then Lin Li contemplated for a moment, turning to ask Wang Qiang:

"Xiaowang, what about the body-tempering material?

Are there research results yet?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang's face showed hesitation, much like a child asking parents for money to buy Yu-Gi-Oh! cards:

"The body-tempering material has been identified, and the world there is attempting to separate it currently.

Also....

We have a proposal that requires your approval."

Lin Li looked at her:

"Speak, what is the proposal?"

"We want to apply for some blood and flesh from demon beasts to study the effectiveness of the body-tempering materials, including samples from Tier Four Demon Beasts beyond just the Tier Three ones. We need your approval for such resources."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment.

Tier Three Demon Beasts are easier to discuss.

Not to mention the inventory over at the Demon Beast Research Center, Ma Ning and his team brought back numerous mid to late Tier Three Demon Beast blood and flesh samples this time.

But further, to Tier Four Demon Beasts, these are considered rare resources.

Currently, the camp only has a minuscule portion of Tier Four Demon Beast blood and flesh:

This is a prospective resource in the Floating Array Technique trade, the Yang Family promised to provide some blood and flesh from Tier Four Demon Beasts slain by Demon Realm experts to the commerce association.

Recently, these pieces of flesh, along with the Floating Array Technique, were brought back to the camp.

The core of the Floating Array Technique was handed to Academician Pan, while the Tier Four Demon Beast blood and flesh were stored away.

This blood and flesh isn't small when taken together but also isn't large—combined, it roughly fits the size of a 32-inch suitcase.

Considering the differing world rules between the Demon Realm and the Damo Realm, the blood used in experiments will ultimately be scrapped.

With Wang Qiang's limited authority, she certainly can't mobilize demon beast samples of that level.

Faced with his student's request, Lin Li hesitated for a few seconds.

It's not due to doubts about Wang Qiang's capability, but concerns about whether it might provoke unnecessary discussions.

Researchers sent to the Damo Realm certainly have no issues with their dedication, but high dedication doesn't mean they lack ideas.

The more committed the researcher, the more sensitive they often are to the resources allocated to them.

Moreover, Wang Qiang being a student of Lin Li means she is often observed closely under scrutiny.

This has nothing to do with gender, but experience.

However, recalling Wang Qiang's previous contributions, Lin Li quickly made up his mind:

"No problem, I agree.

Xiaowang, go fetch the demon beast blood and flesh."
