Chapter 492: Land of Snow (2)
Graphite... reactor?
Hinata was a bit confused.
She understood every word, but when put together, she was completely dizzy.
Indeed Sakura's style... Hinata was speechless.
Haruno Sakura (clone) was very keen on popularizing science, holding her hand with a smile and asking: "Do you know what a reactor is, Hinata?"
"...R-Reactor?"
Hinata's hazy Byakugan looked back at Sakura blankly, shaking her head innocently.
How could she possibly know.
"Hn, reactor!"
The clone nodded, pulled her downstairs, took out a piece of white paper, and wrote the line E=mc².
"Let's start from the basics. The release of nuclear energy satisfies the mass-energy equation, that is, energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light..."
After listening to the first sentence, Hinata had already automatically entered a state of staring straight and wandering off.
Because she knew very well that the following part was not something she could understand at all.
Hinata still hadn't figured out how her friend's little brain stored such strange and sometimes extremely useful knowledge.
The origin of that mysterious knowledge might remain a mystery forever...
Sure enough, then Sakura wrote a lot of characters that looked like ghostly drawings to Hinata, and then a lot of words like "nuclear fission," "chain reaction," "weapons-grade plutonium and uranium," filled Hinata's ears with unfamiliar words she had never heard of.
Even the term mass, which is common sense, was extended by Haruno Sakura into inexplicable "rest mass," "relativistic mass," "relativistic mass," and "inertial mass," "gravitational mass"...
Hinata just wanted to complain: Can you not complicate simple things?
—But the truth is, facts are just this complicated.
Anyway, Haruno Sakura was clearly speaking human language, but the girl clearly felt that a thousand ducks were shouting in her ears...
"In summary, my ninjutsu is to use the energy generated by nuclear fission to unleash powerful ninjutsu."
After talking incessantly for a long time, Haruno Sakura stopped reluctantly.
"What do you think?"
The girl slapped the paper filled with formulas and diagrams on the table, looked up at Hinata, and asked with a smile.
Sounds very impressive.
Hinata touched her chin, pretended to ponder thoughtfully for a while, looking like she understood.
She hummed and hawed for a long time, and under Haruno Sakura's expectant gaze, finally came up with a question.
"You said so much, what fission producing radioactive energy, what does it have to do with ninja?"
Haruno Sakura sighed. Hearing this question, she knew Hinata didn't understand at all.
"Of course it matters!"
She said lightly.
"Nuclear fission is a process of converting mass into energy. If you listened carefully to what I said just now, you should know that by converting just a tiny bit of mass, we can obtain extremely huge energy."
"Those people in the Star Ninja Village integrated this radiation energy into their chakra, producing a higher-level, more active chakra, which they call the 'Mysterious Peacock Method,' actually similar to Sage Mode."
The difference is just that Sage Mode absorbs natural energy, while the Mysterious Peacock Method absorbs radiation energy.
The existence of the Mysterious Peacock Method could even make the leader of a small ninja village in a remote corner swell to the point of wanting to turn the Star Ninja Village into the Sixth Great Ninja Village. Excluding the element of arrogance, this also indirectly illustrates the power of this technique.
"What I want to do is actually improve the Mysterious Peacock Method, strengthen the power, and reduce side effects..." Haruno Sakura smiled proudly, "By then you will know how strong this technique can be."
This technique, which she calls "Star God Mode," will be a secret technique stronger than Sage Mode!
Not just Star God Mode.
"Radiant Shine" can also be completed by then.
The only problem is, if this move is really unleashed, how Haruno Sakura avoids being swallowed by her own technique—
The temperature in the core area of an atomic bomb is as high as tens of millions of degrees. Everything humans can imagine will be evaporated into nothingness by this absolute power!
Hinata couldn't imagine this scene.
When Haruno Sakura said Star God Mode was even stronger than Sage Mode, she was noncommittal.
Of course, being able to compare with Sage Mode already explains the problem.
Speaking of this, Hinata also became interested in Sakura's technique and continued to ask: "So what does your technique have to do with these machines?"
"Centrifuges and reactors are used to prepare the core raw materials required for the technique."
Haruno Sakura resisted the urge to explain the operating principle of the machines and explained as simply and directly as possible.
Hinata also had no interest in caring about what happened inside those rumbling machines.
"Oh," she responded casually, "Then how long will it take to prepare?"
"Weapons-grade plutonium and uranium, only a dozen kilograms are needed to make big news." Haruno Sakura pushed her goggles and replied, "Star God Mode consumes even less."
"But just this little raw material also takes an extremely long time to prepare."
The girl shrugged.
"Anyway, it's probably hopeless within this year."
If not for this world possessing omnipotent chakra, and she herself being a brilliant manipulator of chakra, and the workers of the Land of Snow also knowing a little chakra, relying on the little manpower and material resources of the Land of Snow to plant mushrooms on the ground?
Not to mention hopeless this year, next year, the year after, a hundred years or even a thousand years, all hopeless.
"Does it take so long?"
Hinata muttered softly.
She thought for a moment, slowly walked out of the room, turned her head and said regretfully: "I can't wait until then... When is your main body coming?"
"Soon, just in these two days." Haruno Sakura followed behind her and replied, "Kakashi-sensei's training will end in another two or three days, then she will come directly."
"So after that, Sakura, will you stay in the Land of Snow until completing this technique?" Hinata asked again.
Sakura shook her head.
"Won't stay so long..." She also walked out of the room into the mechanical forest and said, "The ninja world is currently turbulent, how can I put down so many things and stay here to cultivate with peace of mind?"
Meeting Hinata's doubtful gaze, Haruno Sakura explained: "Besides, things here just need a start and maintenance for a period of time. Afterward, just let the machines run continuously, no need for me to watch all the time. The workers of the Land of Snow can handle most unexpected events."
"So this time, I will return to Konoha very soon."
"Is that so." Hinata walked in front, speaking faintly.
"Then... shall we go back together then?"
"Hm?"
The sound of mechanical operation in the industrial zone was extremely loud, covering the girl's words. Haruno Sakura didn't hear clearly for a moment, so she leaned over, close to Hinata's side, and asked: "What did you say?"
Close enough that the fine breath sprayed over, making the face itch secretly.
"Nothing!" Hinata touched her cheek, walked a few steps quickly, and shouted, "I mean, it's too noisy here!"
"Then let's go."
Haruno Sakura shook her head, pulled Hinata to take a few big steps, then with a few continuous Body Flickers, walked out of the factory area and came to the quiet wild.
Without the noisy sound, sure enough, the ears were instantly much more comfortable.
Because there was no geothermal heater supplying heat, the suburbs of the Land of Snow had just entered autumn, but it was already freezing cold; it had snowed a few times a while ago, draping the earth in silver gauze.
Hinata breathed out.
The warm breath in her mouth condensed upon encountering cold, turning into a cloud of white mist in the girl's palm. The sunlight in the Land of Snow was very sparse. Through the water mist, the industrial zone not far away actually appeared blurred in vision.
The girl stood silently in the snow, her eyes becoming blurred.
"What are you thinking about, Hinata?"
Haruno Sakura walked over.
