Act 138. Find new elements

From Eagles. His Excellency Field proposed the quality of the elements, and since the mages started the wave of searching for new elements, decades have passed, and dozens of new elements have been discovered, bringing a lot of feedback from the world.

The first person to isolate and determine the properties of the new element will get the most feedback from the world, and then decay rapidly, so most of the research about the new element is carried out by the mages independently, and at most it is a joint study between brothers or husband and wife, and there are rare cases of teamwork.

And Reiner, now he has to look for a new element in front of so many high-level mages?

Is he a madman or a fool?

Could it be that he already feels that the world has too much feedback, so he is willing to give it away?

What's more, the search for new elements requires not only a long trial and error, but also a lot of luck and experience, many mages have been immersed in the laboratory for more than ten years, trying to separate new elements from minerals, but in vain, while others just go out and climb a mountain to pick up a piece of ore of a new element.

But no one can find a new element in a room just by talking about it.

And it's also in the room where all the elemental and alchemy high-level mages are!

"Reiner. Ian Gray, you mean that we High Mages sit here for a morning meeting, unaware that a whole new element is wandering around us? ”

Broly asked, and Reiner's attitude made him a little unhappy, of course, this displeasure may be more from Reiner's camp.

As the vice president of the Storm Council, Broly is mostly responsible for recruiting and nurturing new talents, and in recent years, Broly has been greatly troubled by the fact that the mercury balance has attracted a large number of up-and-coming rookies with the news of the successful advancement of several new elements.

A newcomer of Reiner's level was directly appointed by President Dmitry, and Broly deeply felt that he was derelict in his duties, so he subconsciously wanted to see Reiner make a fool of himself to prove that he was not wrong, of course, these were subconscious actions, and he himself had no prejudice against Reiner.

"Yes, Your Excellency, in fact, in the real world, even the things we come into contact with on a daily basis, we don't necessarily know what they really are, a year ago, water was called an element, who would have thought that two new elements were hidden in it?"

Reiner replied deftly, his words stunned many high-ranking mages, indeed, these academic powers have long been at the forefront of research, discussing questions related to the nature of the world, but ignoring the most common things around them, which is very worthy of reflection.

"And where is the new element you are talking about, is it in the air?"

Broly's competitive spirit was aroused by Reiner, and more importantly, Reiner didn't seem to know his name, and the polite salutation of "Your Excellency" sounded a bit harsh to Broly.

"That's right, your Excellency, the new element is in the air."

Reiner said with a smile, his words startled the high-ranking mages present.

The world around him suddenly seemed to become much stranger, and in that seemingly empty space, there seemed to be endless mysteries being born.

"According to current estimates, the air we know is actually composed of several gases, including 78 percent of Knightlen gas, 21 percent of Ochles gas, and the remaining one percent, which contains a small amount of carbonic acid gas and water vapor, as well as impurities that are difficult to separate and measure, etc., our target is this part of the impurities that cannot be accurately measured."

Reiner said he had his own considerations for doing so.

Due to its extremely inactive nature, the method of freezing air separation is generally used to purify rare gases, and the fractionation is carried out by the different boiling points of different liquid gases, which requires low temperatures that Reiner can not access.

Of course, he considered purifying these gases himself during his experiments, but after reading through the relevant research, Reiner found that in order to freeze air to a liquid state, he had to use at least five rings of elemental magic, and the precise control of the temperature required for repeated fractionation was also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Reiner was lucky to be able to "pick up" the electromagnetic separation circle, a low-level practical magic of a mid-level spell, but it was obvious that it would not be possible for him to be so lucky in a short period of time to "pick up" a low-level cryo magic.

You must know that according to the evaluation criteria, the magic circle designed by Fina's father requires at least thirty gold coins or equivalent academic points to exchange for the right to use it, which is a lot of income.

Since he can't get access to the relevant spells to extract new elements in a short period of time, and once the paper on the periodic table is published, all mages will be able to rely on the properties of the elements to find new elements, and it will be very soon that these vacancies will be filled.

Reiner felt that instead of watching others get the new element, he might as well give it as a favor to the high-level mages present, and maybe he could still rub on the feedback of the world.

And on the other hand, the discovery of new elements according to the periodic table by hand also has a strong verification effect on this paper, which is enough to show that the idea of this paper is correct.

"We can use the method of low-temperature fractionation to distinguish the different substances in these impurities, in fact, this element of noble gas is found from Knightlen gas, and I deduce from this kind of gas because of its extremely inactive nature, it is difficult to react with other elements, so most of them exist in the form of elemental substances, and air is their best hiding place."

Hearing Reiner's words, the mages present exchanged glances, and finally decided that President Dmitry and Pluto would join forces to carry out the cryogenic and fractionation of the air.

First, these two people are the highest-ranking and high-ranking mages in the conference room, with first-class spell skills, good at elemental and alchemical magic, and able to control the temperature more precisely.

The second is that if a new element is really discovered, then it is bound to be able to get feedback from the world, and other mages naturally dare not compete with the two of them.

Pluto first constructed the cryogenic magic, taking out the casting materials from his storage bag one by one, and building a circle in the center of the round table that was enough to completely freeze and liquefy the air.

President Dmitry collects a vial of air and builds the various circles needed to measure the elements.

With everyone watching, a unique experiment began.
