Ren Zhong crouched in front of the control panel of an integrated machine about the size of a house.
The central area of the control panel displayed a three-dimensional model.
The model showed piles of mineral powder stacked together.
In the high-temperature, high-pressure environment, the compound molecules in the powder were extremely active.
A dense network of threads crisscrossed through the powder.
These network threads were not material substances but currents finely controlled by magnetic fields.
Near where the network of currents crossed, the metallic powder showed changes into a fluid state.
Upon further microscopic display, one could see in the data modeling a large number of electrons impacting the chemical bonds of the metal compounds in the powder.
As electrons collided one after another, the originally stable chemical bonds gradually broke, and the compounds were directly "electrolytically reduced" to elemental plasma.
