Lei Luo rubbed his forehead, his face full of sadness, walking slowly on the streets of Konoha, Minato followed him, watching the teacher talking to himself like a man possessed, and finally couldn't help but complain:
"Teacher, since you anticipated the power of nuclear fission and evacuated the staff of the research institute in advance, why didn't you just choose to conduct the experiment outside the village?"
"So, this is the reason why I didn't think about it." Lei Luo sighed slowly, put down his hand, and shook his head helplessly: "I can only say that I expected part of it..."
"But in fact, nuclear explosions are far more powerful than I thought."
"The evacuation of people is for insurance purposes. Strictly speaking, it is just a means to prevent adverse factors and falls within the scope of procedures, but I actually... did not expect that this decision would really come in handy."
Seeing Lei Luo helplessly showing a little bit of happiness, Minato also breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and decided to change the topic:
"Teacher, where do you plan to practice in the future?"
The scientific research institute suffered a nuclear explosion from the front. Not only were the buildings destroyed, but a large amount of radioactive dust filled the sky, making that place uninhabitable in the future.
In fact, since leaving there, Lei Luo ordered Orochimaru to seal off the radiation area and gather people to collect protective suits in order to rescue everything of value as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that the four jinchuriki and the heretic golems were all deep underground, so they were not affected by the nuclear explosion. They were lucky among misfortunes.
In short, it has been decided that the Research Institute will have to move after the incident. As for where to move, there are also Lei Luo's personal cultivation issues...
"Let's move the scientific research institute outside the village. There are several bases at the root that are empty. Just find a base to expand. As for my own cultivation..."
After pondering for a while, Lei Luo thought to himself:
To be honest, if the highly enriched uranium used in the test this time was just a few milligrams more, or even up to a few grams, then the entire Konoha Village might have to move.
It's too dangerous, really too dangerous.
The practice of nuclear fission is different from any ninjutsu that has been practiced in the past. If you are not careful, you may destroy everything around you unknowingly.
Lei Luo, who has reached the microscopic realm and initially mastered the power of atomic energy, is now considered a humanoid nuclear bomb. He must always pay attention to controlling his power to avoid triggering...
A tragedy that no one wants to see.
Compared to those tailed beasts, jinchūriki, Lei Luo's power is not at all of the same order of magnitude as them. Not to mention that the energy density of a nuclear explosion is much higher than that of a tailed beast jade, let's talk about nuclear radiation...
It is entirely possible to turn the world into purgatory!
Konoha Village should not bear the risk of a nuclear explosion, and the Country of Fire agrees. After all, if they continue to practice, the quality of the highly enriched uranium that Lei Luo can control will definitely improve, and by then...
Nuclear explosions with the equivalent of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of tons of TNT appeared, and the country of fire was destroyed in a matter of seconds. For the safety of people's lives, Lei Luo made a decision.
"Feng Province, I will live in Feng Province from now on until I can practice nuclear fission to the extreme and then come back." Lei Luo sighed slowly. Although he felt reluctant to give up, he still said firmly.
"Teacher..." Perhaps sensing Lei Luo's determination, Minato seemed a little worried. After hesitating for a while, Fang asked hesitantly:
"Let me tell you something from my heart... With your strength, you shouldn't need to do any more training, right? Besides, is it really necessary to master such an unknown power as nuclear fission?"
Even though he couldn't sense the existence of the high-energy particle flow, Minato could still see the radiation dust. The patches of yellow and green dust really made the environment look like a ghost.
Just think about it and you'll know it's not a good idea.
Combining Lei Luo's popular science, Orochimaru's performance of vomiting blood, and Lei Luo's subsequent serious attitude, Minato quickly had an idea of the dangers of nuclear radiation:
This is an invisible, terrifying energy that can subtly inflict fatal blows on the human body. It can also cause irreversible damage to animals and plants, just like air containing highly toxic substances.
The pollution to the environment is extremely serious.
What he saw with his eyes and heard with his ears made Minato quickly define nuclear fission as an "unknown force" that was more dangerous than tailed beasts and was something that should not appear in the world.
Minato didn't understand why the teacher created this kind of power. He couldn't understand. Although the words he spoke at this moment did not contain blame, he was already extremely uneasy.
"Cultivation, for me, will never stop. As for nuclear fission..." At this point, Lei Luo rarely showed a trace of confusion on his face.
After a while, he continued:
"Pandora's box has been opened. I neither want to nor can I close it again. After all, Bing is getting stronger quickly. I have to catch up with her."
Minato didn't know the fable of Pandora's Box, but he understood Lei Luo's meaning to a certain extent. After hearing the words, he pondered for a few seconds. Xu knew that persuasion was useless, so he shook his head and sighed:
"I don't know why, teacher, I always feel that your competition with Bing to improve your strength is no longer like a normal ninja's struggle to become stronger, but more like..."
Realizing that Minato was paused for a moment, as if he couldn't find a good word to describe it, Lei Luo was moved in his heart and asked curiously: "Arms race?"
Nodding silently, Minato closed his eyes for dozens of seconds. When he opened them again, he was full of melancholy. He looked into the distance with a absent-minded expression and murmured softly:
"Teacher, this kind of arms race will destroy the entire ninja world sooner or later. I'm really... a little scared and don't want you to continue practicing."
"In contrast, you can't put your energy..."
"Put it on the Ten-Tails plan?"
Hearing this, Lei Luo was slightly startled. This was the first time Minato showed his unwillingness to become stronger in front of him. Was it due to confusion? Worry? Or... fear?
What Lei Luo didn't know was that as soon as Minato learned about nuclear fission, he clearly saw the potential, destructive power, lethality, and... harm of this power.
Tailed beasts can be regarded as clean energy after all, and nuclear bombs, in addition to constantly increasing the yield, killing all humans, destroying the earth to the point of barrenness, and even destroying the world...
Minato, no other possibility is seen.
"The power of the Ten-Tails cannot help me defeat ice. For the sake of the Country of Fire, for Konoha, and for myself, the atomic energy improvement route must be followed to the end."
However, Lei Luo's answer was still as resolute and certain as ever. Just like any time in the past, he did not allow others to question him, even if the person questioning him was his disciple.
"Minato, you don't have to worry too much. Nuclear fission is at best a product of this period. When I continue to become stronger and can touch the power of nuclear fusion..."
"The phenomenon of radiation will not be so serious."
But in the end, Lei Luo's words softened a little.
