Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Monk vs. the Alchemist (continued)
Yu Wenwen said that if you want to learn 'chemistry', you must be a monk, this monk is not another monk, you don't need to shave the ordination, you don't need to eat fasting and chant Buddha, it's just a series of identity titles, which is the only way to learn chemistry.

There are many kinds of monks, from the lowest to the highest, they are elementary school monks, junior high school monks, high school monks, and university monks, and if they are gifted, they can continue to study, and they can become research monks, doctoral monks, and finally become supreme monks who are proficient in chemistry - academicians.
The first is to be a 'primary school monk', to learn the art of 'language', to be able to read and write, to be proficient in 'mathematics', to learn 'ninety-nine multiplication formulas', and to be able to solve 'binary equations'.
Elementary school monks practice for six years, they have to go through the small tribulation "small promotion to junior high school", after successfully passing the "junior high school monk", after two years of practice, you can learn "chemistry", what is chemistry? This is the 'science of change'.
Chemistry is divided into 'organic chemistry' and 'inorganic chemistry', and it is quite difficult to learn 'organic chemistry' with the skills of junior high school monks, so you can only learn 'inorganic chemistry' first.
In chemistry, the first thing is to know that 'molecules and atoms', no matter what can be broken down into 'molecules' and 'atoms' that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and there is a secret book called "periodic table".
This list lists the 112 basic elements of the world, and all things in the world are composed of derivatives of these 112 elements.
There are 'three acids and two bases', which are the basic reagents for material changes, and 'chemical reactions', which are divided into two categories: 'oxidation' and 'reduction'. The symbols are represented by the "chemical equation", which is the secret of all material changes, just like the formula of alchemy.
Just as Danfang also has mistakes and omissions, writing chemical equations can also make mistakes, so it is necessary to learn 'balancing' when making errata, and at the same time master 'molecular formula' and 'law of conservation of mass'.
There are tens of thousands of chemical equations, and there are nearly 80 basic equations learned by the 'junior high school monks', and they have to do 'chemical experiments' to transform simple substances.
"Got chicken chemistry? Round Tree Circumference Seven Tables? Quality hand horizontal set green? Chemistry City? Don't transform straight? Liu Yang was dumbfounded, the knowledge he heard was beyond the scope of his cognition, and seeing Yu Wenwen was like seeing an unknown creature.
"Exactly, this is the chemistry knowledge that junior high school monks learn." University monk Yu Wenwen nodded, he was very interested in Liu Daochang's expression, he didn't care if the other party understood it or not, he wanted this effect.
Yu Wenwen said that after a year of junior high school monk practice, he needs to go through the 'high school entrance examination', and if he can pass the test safely, he will become a 'high school monk' and continue to study chemistry, and the content he has learned is also increasing.
For example, "Avogadro's law", "addition" and "displacement" reactions, and "organic chemistry", and then there are more chemical equations, there are more than 300 of them.
After learning high school chemistry, you can carry out ordinary material transformation, you can produce gold and silver in water, and you can also turn gold and silver into water, and other 'supernatural powers' are not to mention.
High school monks have to practice for three years, ushering in the great catastrophe 'college entrance examination', if they can survive safely, they can soar to the 'university world' and become a 'university monk', and college chemistry has a new classification in addition to organic and inorganic chemistry.
Physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and so on, among which there are many kinds of subdivisions, which must be selected by the university monk to study the 'major'.
After two years of penance, there is a heavenly calamity called "Kaobo", if you can get through it, it is a doctor monk, and then you can survive the immeasurable calamity, and after the immeasurable tribulation, you can be promoted to the supreme, called "academician".
Academicians are proficient in the way of chemistry, can create something out of nothing, can turn into nothing, can condense into things, can also point things into water, everything in the world is in their hands, can change the form at will, also water, also matter, also gas, can be described as free.
Liu Yang's mouth was already slightly open when he heard this, and he didn't notice the saliva flowing out of the corners of his mouth, his eyes were dull, and his whole body trembled slightly, like a precursor to the outbreak of sheep epilepsy.
"What did Lang Jun say, what kind of knowledge is the chemical stone inkstone?"
"It's an experiment, a reality, a test." Yu Wenwen corrected, he guessed that the other party must have misunderstood the word experiment, "Experiment, as the name suggests, is to verify the actual operation..."
In order to facilitate understanding, Yuwen Wen took alchemy as an example, the alchemist found the pill recipe, naturally had to prepare the materials, put them in the alchemy furnace and light the fire to bake, if the refined pill was not ideal, he had to find the reason, and then constantly adjust until finally refining the suitable pill.
This process is an experiment, and the reaction conditions such as furnace temperature, heating time, amount of various raw materials, etc., are recorded, and in order to ensure the 'reproducibility' of the experiment, these parameters must be precise so that others can produce the same results under the same conditions elsewhere.
This involves weights and measures, the furnace temperature must be accurate to at least one degree Celsius, the time must be accurate to the minute, and the amount of raw materials must be accurate to grams or milliliters, so the experimental equipment must also be particular.
Many chemical reactions also have to observe the color, so it is very important to use transparent glassware for experiments, and the preparation of various indicators is indispensable, it is inconvenient to use firewood to control the temperature when heating, and it is necessary to use fire oil lamps, and the raw materials are important and exquisite, so accurate balances are essential.
Many chemical reactions need to be carried out in the form of solutions, so to dissolve metal and non-metallic substances into a liquid state, then "three acids and two alkalis" are necessary, and constant temperature is required for heating utensils, so water baths and oil baths are also the main means.
All in all, chemical experiments require a lot of equipment to assist, just as alchemy requires an alchemy furnace or alchemy tripod, learning and researching chemistry requires experiments, and the use of chemistry for material conversion is inseparable from experiments.
Liu Yang from the imminent outbreak of sheep epilepsy, into a state of stupidity, Yu Wenwen said, to him sounded like a book from heaven, every word, he didn't know what it meant, looking at the other party's calm expression, Liu Yang felt that it should not be lying, but this "chemistry" is indeed something.
He is like a young child who has just entered Mongolian school, the first time he listened to Mr. Lecturing, everything is so unfamiliar, but it makes people yearn for it, Liu Yang easily eased up a little, and asked with difficulty:
"This, I don't know who is the supreme who is proficient in chemistry?"
"Nobel the alchemist, Mendeleev the cube master, Lavoisier and others are the supreme of chemistry!" Yuwen Wen praised, seeing Liu Yang's confused appearance, Yuwen Wen began to introduce the glorious history of the supreme of chemistry.
"Alchemist Nobel, learned the art of supreme divine thunder, the elixir made by this technique can open mountains and rifts, introduce endless heavenly thunder under the clear sky, and turn thousands of troops into powder!"
"The cube master Mendeleev peeked into the atomic weight of the heavens and found the 'periodic table' of the law of all things, and countless scholars have discovered new elements through this."
"The elements summoned Lavoisier, who first discovered the thirty-three elements of the foundation of heaven and earth, and single-handedly proved the 'law of conservation of mass', and was revered as the father of chemistry..."
"Lang-kun!! Can this be taught to me? Liu Yang was as angry as a cow, holding Yu Wenwen's shoulders tightly with both hands, and his eyes showed a hungry and thirsty gaze, like the first rain and dew on a dry earth.
"Dao Chief, not only did he cultivate to the realm of university monks, but he didn't choose this 'chemistry' major, how to teach Dao Chang the art of chemistry?" Yuwen Wen said with a smile, according to the other party's expression, he judged that he was not a traverser, so he was not afraid to say those modern words.
"That's high...'Gao Zhong' chemistry is also okay!" Liu Yang grabbed Yu Wenwen's shoulder and didn't let go, he was afraid that if he let go of his hand, he would not be able to find it again.
He has been following his master to refine the pill since he was a child, and after the master drove the crane to the west, he has been pursuing the pill for decades, and has spent countless days and nights thinking about how to refine the elixir, traveling all over the world to eat and sleep in the open to seek the elixir, but the more this road goes, the more he can't see the end.
He has also exchanged experience with other alchemists, and has tried many rare pill prescriptions, and even fell unconscious several times in order to try the pill, but Liu Yang has not been able to grasp the essentials at all for so many years, and the pill he has practiced has no immortal qi at all.
Something must be wrong, something must be wrong!
This thought in Liu Yang's mind became more and more obvious, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply, because once he thought about it, he would face a result: alchemy and immortal cultivation would not work! This will deny his master, his life, and the meaning of his existence in the world, so where do you dare to think about it.
But what else can you do besides alchemy? He doesn't know anything, he has watched his master's alchemy since he can remember, then he is alchemizing himself, and then he is alchemizing his disciple, but the road of alchemy and cultivating immortals is a dead end.
He didn't know what to do, so he could only conceive the pill day after day, and then keep refining, maybe one day he could really refine the elixir feather and turn into an immortal, but Liu Yang became more and more confused.
But now someone opened a door in front of him, and that door was called "chemistry", which sounded like a vast and profound science, and if nothing else, it was a great thing to be able to change matter at will.
So he's going to have a glimpse anyway!
"Dao Chief, this chemical technique can't be immortal, nor can it help people become immortals, what is the use of Dao Chief?"
"There are clouds in the Analects: It is okay to die at the end of the day!"
"You have to be destined to learn this method." Yu Wenwen waved his hand and smiled, "I also learned this chemical technique by chance. ”
"Where's that chance?"
"Then it depends on the performance of the Taoist chief..."Yu Wenwen looked left and right, like a corrupt official asking for bribes, rubbing his fingers in front of the other party and counting the money.
However, Liu Yang is not familiar with the world, seeing that Yuwen Wen seems to have a clumsy meaning, he can't help but feel like a cat scratching, he is so anxious that he is sweating profusely, and keeps asking "Where is the opportunity", Yuwen Wen saw that he was so "stupid and cute", so he had to say something:
"Dao Chief, who else knows the formula used in today's alchemy except for the apprentice?"
"There is no one else..."Liu Yang replied, he was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, telling the whole process of alchemy in the Yecheng house, and even confessed to who he came into contact with, so that the 'opportunity' would come earlier.
Yu Wenwen kept the name of the person he confessed to heart, and seeing the other party's hungry eyes, he coughed dryly and put forward the condition: "Dao Chief, this chemical technique... You have to exchange something, don't you? ”
"Poor Dao, here is the Danfang that I have learned all my life! Lang Jun will take it if he wants it! ”
"I'm not interested in alchemy... Dao Chang has been alchemy for many years, and there will always be some secret recipe for pressing the bottom of the box, such as... Hey. Yu Wenwen began to rub his fingers again.
"The secret ingredient? Secret recipe... Yes, there are secret techniques in the poor road, there are secret techniques! (To be continued.) )
