The specific content of this proposal was told to Mr. Mu after the disciple of Mr. Mu said that all of Chen Jian's articles had been approved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It wasn't perfect, but it was enough to get these people in Mr. Mu's house excited.

It would be shocking enough for a previously unknown young man to have two articles published in the first place, even if the rest of the speculation was only at the end of the pamphlet.

The young man who caused such a shocking sensation is the little disciple of Mr., his own little junior brother, no matter how you look at it, it is also a big event worth celebrating.

After the celebration, the disciples finally asked some questions that should have been asked a long time ago.

"Sir, do you think those speculations of the junior brother are true?"

Mr. Mu smiled and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I think it's real. Although I feel that this kind of thing is often on the other side of the truth, the world should have rules in it, and the guess of the little junior brother is a kind of rule that can be perfectly explained. ”

The old man laughed, his sour smoke mixed with the hoarseness that the old man should have had, and it sounded like pulling bellows.

"You little junior brother, all this speculation is not based on feeling."

He raised a piece of paper, a piece of paper that he had already seen but had not yet shown to his disciples, and after saying that, he passed it to the hands of the disciples.

It reads "A Gift for My Husband and Brothers and Sisters Who Trust Me", but this is only half of the title, and the other half of the title is "Asking for the help of my Husband and Brothers and Sisters who trust me".

There is only one piece of paper, and it is written about the same thing, but with a different title.

After everyone saw it, their faces couldn't help but show surprise.

Li Yun is a believer, especially in matters related to his husband, so he brought these papers back from Mincheng, but the content is also the first time he has seen it.

Because he was the only one in this group of people who had seen Jian Chen, and he was also the one who had said a lot of good things to Jian Chen, Li Yun made a voice first after reading this piece of paper.

"Sir...... What does the younger brother mean...... Want to prove his hypothesis with an experiment? But this ...... Can it be done? ”

Mr. Mu smiled: "So, he is asking for your help." But again, if you succeed, this glory belongs to you, brothers and sisters. Since we talk about trust, then I, as a gentleman, of course, have to trust this disciple, and besides, it is not too difficult to ask us to do something. ”

"I'm afraid that your junior brother has already guessed that his guesses will not be accepted, and he also knows that more experiments are needed to prove the conclusions he has reached through those speculations, so he begs us to do such a thing. The only bad thing is that I'm afraid you're going to have to follow me to do this experiment this New Year......"

The disciples recalled the contents of the paper and said with some enthusiasm: "If the junior brother guessed true, then what can I do if this New Year is over?" He said that the salt was actually a synthesis of chlorine gas and a new, extremely positive metal, which was not found because it was too positive...... If it is true, it will not only prove that some of the inferences of the little brother are not only correct, but also that a new metal, a new indivisible thing, has indeed been discovered for us. ”

The disciples knew all too well what it would be like to be famous if they discovered such an amazing-sounding metal, and they knew all too well that it would completely change some of the previous conclusions that had been assumed to be true.

Obviously, this little junior brother is very good at doing things, and he has given this kind of fame to his own people, whether it is true or not, it is enough to make them as full of good feelings as Li Yun.

Seeing the excited expressions of his disciples, Mr. Mu smiled and said, "If you can succeed, these fame will be yours, and I won't need it anymore." All I want is to understand before I die that there really is a rule in this thing we learned, and that's enough. You're still young, and my husband has left you nothing but danger and a reputation for being fast, and it's time to leave you something. ”

"Alright, let's get ready. If successful, it's the best start of the new year or the best end of the old year. ”

The disciples agreed, and began to prepare according to what was said on the paper.

On paper, it is said that the electrolysis of salt water with an electric stack is the electrolysis of two things. However, the composition of water and salt is not the same, and it is assumed that the metal with a strong positive reaction will react directly with water, so the metal cannot be obtained.

And if you don't electrolyze the brine, but heat and melt the salt and then electrolyze it, then the result should be that new metal.

However, the temperature required for the salt to melt after heating is very high, so it is possible to use something similar to a mixture to lower the melting point to make the salt melt faster. It's just that this kind of thing must have a certain similarity with salt, especially the negative substance must be the same, otherwise it is difficult to be convincing, so you can choose hydrochloric acid treated quicklime.

If chlorine gas comes out of one end of the molten electrolysis and a metal appears at the other end, then the metal is either a metal in the table salt molecule, a metal in the chlorinated quicklime molecule, or a mixture of the two metals - this can be inferred by reacting the resulting metal with chlorine.

This experiment seems to be fine, and it basically makes sense logically, in fact, it all it takes to get a new metal to prove everything: to prove whether the metal is the kind of salt or the kind of lime, all it takes is a small experiment.

Even without this experiment, just figuring out the kind of metal that can be inferred is enough to change a lot of things.

The people in the room were already impressed by the design of the experiment, and they had never imagined that it would be possible to electrolyze molten table salt, and the previous idea was to electrolyze a solution of caustic soda.

In two days, various preparations have been completed. Purified salt, water that has been re-condensed after distillation, calcium chloride that has been purified after adding hydrochloric acid and then adding carbonic acid to carbon acid and then re-adding hydrochloric acid to remove impurities, electrodes for electrolysis, beeswax, utensils, and heating utensils......

A mixture of table salt and calcium chloride is being heated, and the relatively expensive stack is ready.

The control container contained relatively pure salt and calcium chloride, and the mixture of salt and calcium chloride in the electrolytic vessel had begun to melt before the solids in the two containers had liquefied.

This made Mr. Mu and his disciples a little excited, the temperature did not seem to be high, it seemed that this method was indeed feasible. If you want to heat the salt directly, it seems that you will need to use a higher temperature.

When the mixture began to melt, the stack was turned on, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the hot and dangerous container.

Knowing that there might be toxic chlorine gas generated, these people were not afraid, and they looked at the melted salt and felt that they might witness a miracle today......

As the temperature settles, bubbles begin to appear on the electrodes inserted into the molten salt. It is assumed that the density of this metal after melting is less than that of molten table salt, and the temperature is very high, so it may be emitted as a gas, and even if it is generated, it will float on top of the molten liquid.

From time to time, some splashes of high-temperature liquid flew out of the container, and the person who was burned just sighed softly, and rubbed the burned place casually with his hand, but his eyes were staring directly at the place where the bubbles were generated.

There are two sets of devices for electrolysis, one does not do any collection but only visual observation, and the other uses a porcelain tube that does not change at this temperature as a collector.

The porcelain tube inserted into it to collect gas is not transparent glass, and you can't see what is produced inside, so you can only see the bubbles constantly bubbling underneath, but you don't know what strange things will be collected in the porcelain tube.

On the other side of the set for intuitive observation, someone has already let out an exclamation......

"Look! See! ”

A man reached out and pointed at the melted occasional splash of liquid, shouting loudly.

Above the molten liquid, at one end of the electrode, there are tiny, metallic particles that resemble mercury beads.

If you look closely with the naked eye, you can see that these small particles float on top of the molten liquid, and once they come into contact with the air, they quickly lose their metallic luster and turn a faint gray color.

Everyone's eyes were staring at those small metal beads, and one person couldn't help but say, "Little junior brother is right! It really is a metal that has never been seen before, with the same luster as mercury! ”

Old Mr. Mu's eyes were also attracted by these ugly and tiny particles, knowing that this seemed to have proved the speculation of his little disciple who had never met, but he knew that he couldn't be too excited at this time, but he still needed to verify it.

When the temperature gradually dropped and the molten liquid solidified again, Mr. Mu couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up the tiny, gray particles with expensive tweezers, crushed them, and threw them into the water......

Laugh at......

Tiny particles make a screeching sound in the water, mixed with a few slight explosions, and when everything calms down, nothing is left but calmed water. What looked like metal disappeared into the water entirely......

It seems that this has proven everything, but it is not enough, everyone is on the verge of shouting excitedly, but they are still waiting for a clear approval from the gentleman.

The porcelain tube on the other side was opened to collect the gases, and the solidified metal inside was collected according to the presumable method, and wrapped in molten beeswax to prevent contact with the air.

Cut out a small piece of this condensed metal, place it in a glass tube, plug it with a stopper made of expensive eucommia gum, and place it on a flame to heat.

The small pieces of metal inside quickly melted in the sealed glass tube, turning into a liquid like mercury, and the chlorine gas obtained from the electrolyzed salt water that had been prepared for a long time was passed into the glass tube through a plug, and the molten metal quickly burned, emitting a bright yellow flame, accompanied by some white smoke.

Everyone held their breath until the flames inside went out, and until the white smoke inside gradually settled.

The white powder is added to the water and melts completely.

Mr. Mu, as he usually treats those poisonous, weird, and new substances that he doesn't even know what they are, stuck a little white powder in the glass tube with his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it lightly, and immediately spit it out - at this time, when many people treat these experiments, they use their mouths to taste, smell and so on, and many people have died, so they know which ones are poisonous and which ones are not.

The white powder touched the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, and the salty taste diffused on the tip of the old man's tongue, and he felt that this was the most amazing and delicious taste he had ever tasted, even if the taste was simply salty, and it was simply the taste of salt.

His hands trembled a little, thinking back to the speculations he had seen before, that had not yet been verified, and that he had only verified one at this time, and that he was screaming in his heart that he might see a new world before he died......

In the silent and expectant waiting of the disciples, the old gentleman said slowly in a pretended plain but unquestionable language: "He guessed right. It was a new metal, table salt from which it was produced and chlorine, and not a non-metallic, quicklime-like indivisible substance, as had been previously thought to be true! ”
