Element
Chapter 271:Element
When Kemo Squeir returned home after today’s experiment, his wife had prepared scones and mushroom soup, and filled him with a glass of white wine.
The latter two are goods sold in the convenience market, especially this white and large mushroom, like the introduction on the sign: "You can't find a more delicious taste than this," and he tasted it and found it.As long as you eat one piece, it is difficult to forget this full and unique taste.
Of course, its price is also very amazing, the slap big one needs a silver wolf, if not paid, Kemo can not afford to buy such expensive food.There are many such things as soap, mirrors, and, as long as there is money, life in small towns is far more comfortable than the average aristocracy.
Roland was unfathomable, and that was the point he felt the most.
After dinner, my wife sent a letter.
“Is that it?”
"You haven't come back yet," said the wife, as she packed the dishes. "Heared him, it seems to be from Redwater City."
“Is it?”Kemo went into the study, cut the seal with a knife, and took out the letter-paper and spread it.
The first sentence is “Hello, Dear Teacher.”
This was a letter from Chames, who could not help smiling, sat down at his desk, and read it carefully.
After leaving the Chishui City alchemy workshop, another alchemist, Capola, became the new chief.But this heart is narrow, after obtaining the crystal glass formula left by Camo, not only claimed to the lord that this is the work of two people, Kemo, but also deliberately or unintentionally squeezed Chameis in the alchemy test.
In his letter, he complained that perhaps because he borrowed Capola's apprentice when he explored the double stone acid method, but finally did not tell the other party the results in advance.Now several other alchemists seem to have begun to shy away from him, which bothers Chames.
Kamo probably understands the ideas of these people, and as the youngest alchemist in the refining chamber, many people think that he only stood out from many disciples by his luck and his appreciation.But the chief alchemist scoffed at this view, and the nitrite and the green alum were both common, and why Chamez discovered the double-stone acid method and not others was enough to explain the problem.Observing, memory, bold conjecture, and careful experimentation are indispensable, and the young man’s talents are even above himself.
In the end, Chames also attached two alchemy formulas in the letter, saying that it was a new discovery in the recent study of the two acids and shared with the instructor.At a glance, Kemo saw that the essence of the two formulas was only the neutralization reaction of acid and alkali to produce salt, and such a formula could write a dozen in one go.
With a sigh, Camo Squeer put down the paper and moved his eyes to the desk on the first chemistry, which had been turned several times.
It is the “ancient book” that His Highness has given to him.If it were not for it, I am afraid that he, like Chamis, still rummaging through the surface of the soil in chaos and confusion, and regarded it as a treasure.
He took the book and turned it straight to the last page.
It was a table that was neatly divided into a hundred or so blocks.
Every time he saw this table, he could not help popping up, feeling indescribable reverence... and fear.
The top left corner of the lattice is marked with a small serial number, to the end of a total of one hundred and eighteen, in addition to the first two rows, most of the lattice are blank, but there are some in the middle of the symbol.For example, No. 26: Iron, No. 29: Copper.
The table is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
The chief alchemist had trembling and holding the book, asking Roland about the blanks, and the answer was "originally filled, but he really can't remember."
If the other party is not His Royal Highness the Prince, what he most wants to do is to shoot the whole book on each other's face.
According to the book, this table has included all the elements of the world—if alchemy existed in the canon, it would undoubtedly be the most dazzling chapter in the sacred scriptures.And what he was afraid of was, what kind of person could have made such a chart?If they had done that, what would alchemy be?It was just a group of children crookedly piled up in the mud.
Kemo suddenly remembered his Highness's promise that if he could call Chamez and pull up a group of apprentices who had not been taken away last time, he might have hoped to fill three new laboratories.In this way, the dream of "medium chemistry" can also be in the hands.
Thinking of this, he immediately drew out a blank piece of paper and began to write back.
In fact, at the meeting, His Royal Highness asked him if he had a clue about large-scale acid production, and he did not tell the truth, because these contents are complex and lengthy, and it is a waste of time.Most importantly, he did not know whether the scheme worked, after all, the method of production he envisioned was based solely on the elements in the book and the principle of reaction.
Compared with previous alchemy experiments, this hypothesis is even a bit like a child’s dream groaning – using a form of reaction that has never been seen before and how to produce something that does not seem to matter to the raw material, only because they have the same element.
But there is a hidden sense in Kemo Squeer's heart, and this method may work!
After all, hundreds of previous replacement tests have all explained the correctness of what this book says.
With the initial plan, the next step is to complete a full set of theoretical tests in the laboratory, because His Royal Highness has said that products that can be produced on a large scale by industrial methods can also be reproduced in the laboratory.
The letter soon finished, and instead of consuing Charles too much, he told the former disciple about the knowable, measurable and desirable alchemy.Kemo believes that any wise man who is interested in alchemy will not miss such an opportunity to witness the truth.
The letter paper is folded into the envelope, then put the wax, and then only wait for tomorrow to be sent to the merchant who is willing to send the letter.
After all this, his eyes moved to the periodic table again.
If the blanks on the table were not filled on the day, Kaimo would only feel that the future life would be no fun, so that in the last words of His Highness Roland, his heart surging, those words have so far wandered in his ear.
"Don't put out that expression, every element on the periodic table is arranged according to the law, you can fill it on your own.""
“The law... the line?Do you mean that unknown elements can also be deduced, just like the alchemy formula?"
“Yes, even if you’ve never seen them, you can describe their looks and their characteristics."
“So... what’s the rule?"
"Do you want to know?"It’s all in Medium Chemistry.(Unfinished.)
