Greetings, Mister Principal: Reiner’s speech

A young mage apprentice!

And he's very handsome! !!

The mages present looked at Reiner with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Some people were amazed by the young appearance of the other party, while others felt uneasy because of the excellence of their peers. There were also several open-minded female mages who had become interested in this handsome young man and were preparing to finish the meeting. So I tried to invite you to spend the night together.

But before that, everyone was more concerned about another question. What did the mage apprentice discover?

The dim weather outside the window contrasted with the swaying lights in the conference hall. At the junction of the shadows, Reiner walked forward step by step.

Reiner pretended to be calm to tell the truth. He did not expect that his paper would be circulated to the hands of the legendary mage, nor did he expect that the other party would take it so seriously. Reiner slowly walked to the side of the podium, and the legendary mage asked He held out his hand, and Reiner shook it gently.

"Your paper on the electrolysis of water is really wonderful, perhaps the best paper I have seen in ten years."

Lanchester whispered, with a kind smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Stanion. I am just standing on the shoulders of giants, so I am lucky enough to achieve such a small achievement."

Reiner glanced at Cornish, who was standing behind Lanchester. He indeed started designing water electrolysis experiments after seeing Cornish's electrolysis paper. There is nothing wrong with this statement.

"How humble."

Lanchester looked at Reiner with admiration, then took a step back, leaving the huge podium to Reiner.

Reiner cleared his throat and found that Lanchester had thoughtfully placed a copy of his thesis on the podium. This copy was obviously for Lanchester himself and was filled with various annotations. .

"Everyone, the content of my paper is very simple. It is about two new elements discovered by electrolyzing water."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the mages present breathed a sigh of relief.

Electrolyzed water! ! ?

If it weren't for Lanchester's previous words, most people would probably think that Reiner was crazy. After all, water is one of the four basic elements, and Reiner's words were undoubtedly challenging authority.

But no one raised any objection. As Lanchester said, the mages here are all mages at the forefront of academic research. Their thirst for knowledge has surpassed everything. They will not insist on their opinions rashly. At least, Questions also had to wait until the end of Lehner's speech.

"I read Lord Penzance's paper on electrolysis in the latest issue of "Alchemy". The paper mentioned that for elements with active properties, electrolysis can effectively separate them from compounds, so I started Think about it, are some substances that were considered indestructible in the past because the elements that make up these substances are too reactive in nature?"

Reiner did not rush to state his experiment, but first raised questions to explain his thinking process.

After hearing Reiner's speech, many mages fell into deep thinking. Most of them had read Mr. Penzance's electrolysis method paper, and many of them used the same method to try to decompose new materials. Elements, but even the most common substance, water, has been ignored. For three hundred years, the theory of the four basic elements has been like a heavy cornerstone, deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, and no one wants to shake it. A cornerstone.

"So, I set my sights on the water that I come into contact with the most, designed an experiment based on Lord Penzance's paper, and electrolyzed two gas elements with special properties from the water, 'Ocles' With 'Hydra'."

Then, with Lanchester's help, they repeated the experiment in the field and verified the properties of the two elements as described in the paper.

During this whole process, the whole place was silent. People were observing, wondering, and thinking.

It wasn't until Reiner ignited the two gases mixed in proportion in a sealed container and obtained a certain mass of water that the crowd let out small exclamations.

"Based on the experimental phenomena, I guess that the past combustion theory cannot explain this reaction. Might it have certain flaws or even fallacies in itself?"

Word by word, Reiner's words were like the whispers of some kind of devil, which made people think deeply and fearfully.

“Thus, based on the experimental phenomena I saw, I proposed a new theory to explain the combustion reaction. Combustion is the reaction of substances and combustion accelerants, producing Oakleys and compounds with similar gas properties. As for the fire element, it does not exist in any corner of this reaction."

Boom——

Just when Reiner finished speaking, a thunder sounded in the sky. This was the first thunder in Wagner Lake since the beginning of summer, just like today's meeting will leave a mark in the history of magic.

The electric light illuminated Reiner's profile, which was calm and confident, reminding the mages in the front row of a certain Excellency.

Assisting Reiner's explanation, Lanchester waved his hand gently, and two reactive projections were formed by light particles intertwined in mid-air.

2H20 (power on) = 2H2+02.

2H2+02 (combustion) = 2H2O. ~IndoMTL.com~ This is an alchemical reaction formula based on the abbreviation of the element name. It means that under the condition of electricity, every two parts of water will be decomposed into two parts of Hydra gas and one part of Ocleis gas. .

In the eyes of alchemists, this formula is so simple and elegant, clear and logical, and the elements on both sides of the equation are equal in number, which has some shocking power.

“I believe that the reason why the mass of the reactants remains unchanged before and after the alchemical reaction is the conservation of elements, so I write the alchemical reaction formula in this way. Of course, my ability is limited and I cannot verify all current alchemical reactions. So this is just a hypothesis."

Liner spoke eloquently. At this time, Lanchester gestured and added for Reiner.

"I have repeated most of the known experiments these days, and they are basically consistent with this rule. And the few mass reduction experiments, according to my observations, should have produced something we have never seen before. New substances noticed."

After hearing Lanchester's explanation, Reiner breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Then judging from Lord Stanion's discovery, conservation of elements should be a basic law of alchemical reactions."

Crackling——

Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, like a spark, flashing in everyone's minds.

If the law of conservation of elements is correct, then alchemists can not only qualitatively and quantitatively control each alchemical reaction and observe its products, but also design new experiments based on the constituent elements of the compound. The existing alchemical system will It will be a big step forward.

After Reiner completely destroyed the cornerstone of the modern alchemical system, he immediately rebuilt a more solid foundation.

And he is just a mage apprentice!
