Chapter 638: Electromagnetic Clergy and Mastery of the Strong Interaction Force
Crackle and pop...
Loud and piercing thunder roared ceaselessly above the ocean, and in the midst of the vast sea, where the clouds were thickest, large amounts of positive and negative charges continued to converge.
In an instant, a bolt of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating it as though it were daylight, followed closely by lightning thick as a grown man's waist continually striking down from the sky, churning up waves upon the turbulent sea surface.
Huge volumes of seawater vaporized, dissociating into a pervasive mist under the terrifyingly high temperatures of the electric current, and within the entire sea area, millions of fish were killed on the spot, their bodies floating up from beneath, creating a bizarre spectacle of a sea of cadavers.
At the same time, it attracted more carnivorous fish to gather here, who then continued the cycle under the mighty force of the thunder...
Clearly, the fish of the new world, in their brief evolutionary process, had not yet developed the instinct to actively avoid thunderstorms.
If it were a normal thunderstorm, it simply could not cause such terrifying destruction, but the lightning that fell was not naturally formed; it was a tiny fraction of energy that dissipated while condensing the Divine Position.
This was also why Lynn chose to condense the Divine Position here.
At first, he was able to control it, conducting experiments on small areas of the sea surface, trying not to affect the reproduction and survival of creatures on the planet, but as time went on, the Divine Position gradually took shape, and one percent of the energy it released formed this continent-wide thunderstorm.
All that Lynn could do was to hasten his actions and complete this final step.
"Firstly, Ampere's law, Gauss's law, Gauss's law for magnetism, Faraday's law!" Lynn thought, and the dense lightning surrounding him transformed into a multitude of complex and intricate equations.
These symbols and formulas continued to extend, soon covering the surrounding area, and in the next moment, the multitude of equations began to simplify, gradually converging into four equations composed of letters and symbols—the very Maxwell's equations!
Next came Ohm's law, the Biot-Savart law, the electric field energy formula...
All formulas related to electricity and magnetism were separated out by Lynn from the Olympic Mathematics Divine Position to create the Thunder Divine Position... or more appropriately described as the Electromagnetic Divine Position.
Several days later, the new Divine Position had formed, after taking more than a decade and having gone down several wrong paths.
Don't look now, but even though he already had three Divine Positions, the Undead Divine Position was forcefully snatched, the Olympic Mathematics Divine Position was incidental upon his promotion, and he had almost no related experience, only able to try out bit by bit.
Lynn also realized that even though he had separated the electromagnetic equations from the Olympic Mathematics Divine Position, the connection between the two still existed and had not been completely severed.
The electromagnetic force was like a secondary Divine Position extended from the Olympic Mathematics Divine Position, with both maintaining a very subtle connection.
This made Lynn think of the memories from the Moon Goddess Diana, where a chief god could construct an entire pantheon—could this be one such method of construction?
Should he consider dividing into a physics and a chemistry division, perhaps?
Lynn pondered this while his hands did not stop moving, experimenting with interest on the workings of the Electromagnetic Divine Position.
First and foremost, his control over the electromagnetic force was greatly enhanced. Manipulating the planetary magnetic field became as simple as eating and drinking, and he could even directly control the magnetic fields of living beings themselves, extinguishing all life on the world.
However, Lynn valued most the effects at the microscopic level, such as the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force!
The so-called strong nuclear force, also known as the strong interaction, is the force that acts on quarks; it is precisely this force that overcomes the repulsion between microscopic particles, forcibly binding protons and neutrons together to form atomic nuclei!
On the other hand, the weak nuclear force has the opposite effect; it allows quarks to repel each other, facilitating the fission and decay of atoms!
Before obtaining the divine position of the electromagnetic force, Lynn could only just barely sense these two forces at the microscopic level, and when creating neutron clusters, he relied on a comparatively "primitive" high-velocity collision method.
Now, however, things were different; he could clearly perceive the interactions between the two fundamental forces within an atom.
Dozens of plans flashed through Lynn's mind, after which he extended his hand, and the free elements in the surrounding air were immediately broken down into fundamental particles, with countless protons and neutrons converging in the palm of his hand.
Following that, Lynn did not attempt to shorten the distance between neutrons through "brute force" as before but instead prepared to increase the range of the strong interaction force!
This was undoubtedly a crazy and unbelievable idea!
What would happen if the influence range of the strong interaction force suddenly became greater than the range of the repulsive force between microscopic particles?
Then, all matter within that region would attract each other, tightly binding together, and it might even collapse from the aggregated mass becoming exaggeratedly large, forming a black hole!
However, achieving this was not easy; after some simple experiments, Lynn quickly realized that although the divine position of the electromagnetic force could indeed influence the strong nuclear force, the energy consumption increased proportionally with every doubling of its range.
Lynn had no choice but to focus his efforts on eliminating the repulsive electromagnetic force, preparing a two-pronged approach!
After some struggles, the tipping point was finally broken through, and the fundamental particles converging in the palm of his hand no longer aimlessly scattered about; they were like attracting magnets and "swooshed" together in a swift collision, clinging tightly to one another.
A tiny neutron cluster was quickly formed.
Of course, Lynn was not satisfied with this; the material contained in the air was simply too scarce. With a thought, a massive amount of seawater rose from the sea level, pouring continuously into his palm.
The area near his palm had undergone a specialized treatment, making the repulsive force between the particles very weak, while the range of the strong interaction force had increased hundreds of times.
That meant Lynn didn't need to do anything extra; all material entering this area could no longer maintain a stable atomic structure and would spontaneously gather together.
The ability to accomplish such an exaggerated feat was not solely due to the help of the divine position of the electromagnetic force, but even more crucial was Lynn's breakthrough—ascending from a moderate Divine Power to a Great Divine Power!
This was partly due to previous accumulations and the empowerment of the electromagnetic divine position, and on the other hand, due to the deaths of trillions of intelligent beings on the continent below over the past decade, whose souls had transformed into a formidable energy.
It must be said that the biological engineering technology of geometric civilizations was incredibly powerful, having created an almost perfect pasture; a mere decade was equivalent to the evolution of a natural planet for several thousand years.
If there were ten such stars of life, Lynn even had the confidence that he could ascend within a few years, becoming a deity with Great Divine Power...
