Release that Witch Chapter 271: Element
Cam Schuire returned home after finishing today ’s trial. His wife has prepared pasta 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 huge mushroom, just like the introduction on the signboard: you can never find anything more delicious than this, and he tastes It turned out to be true in the future. As long as you take one slice, it is difficult to forget this full and unique taste.
Of course, its price is also very amazing. The big one needs a silver royal. If it is not well-paid, Cam would not be willing to buy such expensive food. There are many things like this, such as soaps and mirrors. As long as you have money, living in small town is far more comfortable than ordinary noble.
Roland is simply unfathomable, which is the deepest point he feels.
After dinner, my wife handed a letter.
"What is this?"
"Sent by the guard in the afternoon, you haven't returned yet," said his wife while packing the dishes, "listening to him, it seems to be from Scarlet Water City."
"Really?" Cam went into the study, cut the seal with a small knife, and took out the stationery.
The first sentence at the beginning is actually Hello, Esteemed's mentor.
This is a letter from James. He couldn't help but smile, sitting at his desk and studying it carefully.
After leaving Scarlet Water City Alchemic Workshop, another alchemist Capola became the new chief. However, this person was narrow-minded, and after obtaining the crystal glass formula left by Cam, he not only declared to feudal lord that it was the work of two people, Cam, but also intentionally or unintentionally crowded out James in the alchemy test.
He complained in the letter, perhaps because he borrowed the apprenticeship of Capola when he explored the double stone acid-making method, but did not inform the other party of the results in advance. Now several other alchemist also seem to start to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally, which makes James very annoying.
Cam probably understands these people's thoughts. James is the youngest alchemist in the refining room. Many people think that he only stands out from many disciples by virtue of his luck and his own appreciation. But the chief alchemist despised this view. saltpeter and green alum are common things. Why James discovered the double-stone acid-making method instead of others is enough to explain the problem. Observation, memory, bold guessing and careful experimentation are all indispensable. The talent of this young man is even above him.
In the end, James also attached two alchemy formulas in the letter, saying that they are new discoveries in the recent research of two acids, and shared with the instructor. And Cam can see at a glance that the essence of the two formulas is nothing more than the neutralization reaction of acid and alkali to form a salt. He can write more than a dozen of such formulas in one breath.
Sighing, Cam Schuire put down the stationery and looked back at the «Elementary Chemistry», which had been turned over several times at the table.
It is this "ancient book" that His Highness handed to himself that changed everything. If it weren't for it, I would still be the same as James, still rummaging in the chaos and confusion, and regard it as a treasure.
He took the book and turned directly to the last page.
That's a form neatly divided into a hundred or more squares.
Every time he saw this form, he couldn't help but raise goose bumps, and felt indescribable reverence in his heart ... and fear.
The upper left corner of the grid is marked with a small serial number. At the end, there are a total of 118. Most of the grids are blank except for the first two rows, but some are filled with symbols in the middle. For example 26th: iron, 29th: copper.
The name of the table is the Periodic Table of the Elements.
Chief alchemist once trembled holding the book and asked Roland for the contents of the blank space, but the answer was originally filled up, but he couldn't remember it.
If the other party is not His Highness the Prince, what he wants to do most is to slap the entire book on the other party's face.
According to the book, this table has included all the elements of the world. If there is a Scripture in alchemy, there is no doubt that it is the most dazzling chapter in the Scriptures. What scared him was what kind of person could draw such a chart? If they have achieved this point, what is alchemy? It was just a group of children crooked castles in the sand.
Cam suddenly remembered His Highness' promise. If he could also call James and pull on a group of apprentices who were too late to take away, maybe there would be hope to fill the three new laboratories. In this way, the coveted "Intermediate Chemistry" can also be obtained.
Thinking of it, he immediately took out a White Paper and started writing a reply.
In fact, His Highness the Prince asked him at the meeting if he had any clues on large-scale acid production. He didn't tell the truth, because the content was complicated and lengthy, and it was a waste of time. The most important is that he does not know whether this solution will work. After all, the method of preparation he envisioned is entirely based on the elements and reaction principles in the book.
Compared with previous alchemy trials, this hypothesis is even a bit like slang in children's dreams. It uses materials that have never been seen and unheard of reaction methods to produce something that looks irrelevant to raw materials. Things just because they have the same element.
But Cam Schuire has a kind of hunch in his heart. This method may work!
After all, the hundreds of previous replacement experiments have all shown the correctness of the content in this book.
With a preliminary plan, the next step is to complete a full set of theoretical tests in the laboratory, because His Highness said that the products that can be produced on a large scale by industrial methods can also be reproduced in the laboratory.
The letter was quickly written. Instead of comforting Charles too much, he told the former disciple directly about the alchemy's knowing, measurable and demandable. Cam believes that any wise man who is interested in alchemy will not miss such an opportunity to witness the truth.
Fold the letter paper into the envelope, and then seal it with wax. Then you just have to wait for tomorrow to send it to the merchant who is willing to send the letter.
After doing all this, his gaze moved again to the periodic table.
If the blank on the table is no longer complete, Cam will only feel that life in the future is no fun. Fortunately, the next paragraph of His Royal Highness Roland made him surging.
Don't put on that expression. Each element of the periodic table is arranged according to the rules. You can completely fill it by yourself.
Regular ... Arrangement? Do you mean that unknown elements can also be produced by Derivation, just like the Derivation alchemy formula?
Yes, even if you have never seen them before, you can describe their appearance and characteristics.
So ... what's the law?
Do you want to know? It's all in Intermediate Chemistry. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
