Chapter 720 - 456: Predicting the Future
The flame rose like a Blazing Red Lotus,
instantly consuming the entire wilderness in flames.
The lotus petals bloomed gradually with Wang Ye as the center, transforming from a budding state into a bewitchingly fierce Blazing Red Lotus.
However, this Red Lotus had no physical form; it was purely composed of flames, and its texture seemed quite unusual, with temperatures far exceeding those of normal fire.
Even though there was no vegetation in the wilderness, the flames still burned fiercely on the soil, gradually charring everything around into black carbon.
Typically, during natural phenomena or nuclear tests, it becomes impossible to measure temperatures accurately once they exceed a hundred degrees Celsius. Most results are achieved through precise calculations, including the so-called hundred million degrees at the center of a nuclear bomb, which is also derived from calculations.
In reality, the temperature might be higher or lower.
And now, the Blazing Red Lotus released from Wang Ye’s body is naturally also impossible to measure accurately,
but if someone were to calculate, they would find that the flame’s temperature exceeded several hundred thousand degrees in an instant!
If an ordinary person were to approach this Blazing Red Lotus at this moment, they would surely be vaporized instantly.
Yet Wang Ye remained seated calmly within the Red Lotus, showing not a hint of disturbance.
In essence, temperature is the speed of molecular movement; the higher the temperature, the faster the molecular speed, and vice versa. From a microscopic perspective, temperature is essentially the expression of the average kinetic energy of molecules in an object.
The concept of absolute zero is when molecules are completely frozen, reaching a state of total stillness, meaning everything would freeze instantly at absolute zero.
Then, does temperature have an upper limit? Of course, it does, and this limit is reached when the speed of molecular movement reaches the speed of light. In other words, when molecular movement is at its maximum, the temperature produced is the limit.
Theoretically calculated, the highest temperature is known as the Planck Temperature, measured at 1.416833 E32K, or 142 nonillion degrees.
This temperature can be said to have lost its concept, as humans cannot possibly imagine what kind of destructiveness this temperature could bring.
Yet humankind has indeed reached an astonishing four trillion degrees.
Keep in mind that the core of a nuclear explosion only reaches a hundred million degrees.
What is the concept of four trillion degrees?
If this temperature could be continuously produced on Earth, the entire Solar System would be incinerated.
Bear in mind, the core temperature of an internal supernova explosion only reaches a hundred billion degrees.
In reality, this four-trillion-degree record was set in 2010 at a national laboratory in New York, United States, where they used a top-tier scientific device named the "Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider" to accelerate two beams of gold ions almost to the speed limit of light, and then collide them to create a quark-gluon plasma, which is formed instantly after the Big Bang, achieving ultrahigh energy densities. In the end, this experiment achieved the highest temperature of four trillion Celsius degrees.
Of course, this temperature was instantaneous, not capable of causing catastrophic destruction.
However, the Blazing Red Lotus Wang Ye now releases maintains a persistent temperature, bringing about terrifying destruction even at merely several hundred thousand degrees Celsius.
Thankfully, he arrived at the center of the wilderness in advance, preventing evident harm to the surrounding residents.
Nonetheless, this bizarre temperature still awakened many people in the heat, prompting them to search for the source of this heat.
Because the vicinity is a military area, this strange heat source was also considered to be from an enemy attack, leading many people to take up arms, drive off-road vehicles and helicopters, and head toward the heat source.
But when everyone arrived, they witnessed a scene that they would never forget in their lifetime.
In the very center of the wilderness lay a Red Lotus made of flames, quietly resting at the wilderness center,
based on the searing heat perceived from several kilometers away, the core temperature of that Red Lotus far exceeded a hundred thousand degrees.
It might even approach the temperature of a nuclear explosion because not even a nuclear blast extends its power beyond ten kilometers.
They nervously used telescopes to observe the Red Lotus.
and discovered Wang Ye sitting cross-legged in the Red Lotus’s center, completely naked, radiating a crimson glow, resembling a Divine Being from ancient paintings.
The soldiers in the helicopter were astounded.
"Is that... Wang Ye?!"
"What’s he doing? Why are flames in the shape of a Red Lotus coming out? And... does he not fear the heat at all?"
"Nonsense! He’s survived a nuclear blast before; no matter how hot this Red Lotus gets, it won’t surpass that."
"That’s true."
"What are you waiting for? Quickly notify Commander Yi!"
They promptly went on to notify higher authority because this was beyond their decision-making capacity. Currently, Old Yi, who is closest to Wang Ye, has the authority to issue orders.
But after dialing Old Yi’s number, the voice on the other end simply said three words:
"Let it be."
In fact, Old Yi didn’t know what kind of trick Wang Ye was playing either.
Whether it was yesterday’s Primordial Spirit Emergence or today’s Blazing Red Lotus, it was all too far-fetched.
It’s as if mythical legends were mirrored in reality.
But he believes Wang Ye wouldn’t actively harm them, nor do they have the right to interfere with Wang Ye’s cultivation.
