Seeing the high-spirited teenagers walk onto the podium, Ge Qingping stood up excitedly: "Kid, have you discovered a new type of chemical element metal?" ”

Lin Guofu, the dean of the Materials Engineering Research Institute, nodded: "Yes, senior Ge." ”

"Quick, tell me, what's it?"

Ge Qingping became excited. Because he himself is a big name in the chemistry world, a leading figure, he is too eager for a new breakthrough in the chemistry world.

Lin Guofu put the box on the table, took out a few glass bottles from it, put on gloves and a mask, and said in a loud voice:

"This is a new discovery from the Institute of Materials Engineering of the Department of Chemistry, and we are trying to understand the effect of potassium hydroxide on the combination of different substances in the process of studying potassium hydroxide. So, Mr. Zhang Qiang had a whim, saying what would happen if potassium hydroxide was decentralized.

So, we tried to melt the potassium hydroxide and then electrolyze it. As a result, a small metal ball appeared underneath. This little ball of metal has never been seen before, and it has never been seen before. That's what we found, potassium. ”

After some words, Ge Qingping stroked his beard excitedly: "Potassium? Electrolysis of molten potassium hydroxide to obtain metallic potassium? Good, good. Let's talk about the properties of this potassium. ”

Lin Guofu unscrewed the glass bottle cap, and a rich smell of kerosene was transmitted.

Lin Guofu also said: "We have found it through research and experiments. Potassium is the most active metal in the history of the world. Extremely unstable. Even I can bet that potassium is probably by far the most reactive metal we've found. It has a very low melting point and is extremely flammable and explosive. It cannot be stored with water, or even exposed to air too much, so after many trials of different materials, we chose to use kerosene for storage. ”

“……”

There was an uproar. Some of those guests knew a little bit about chemistry and were stunned.

"It needs to be preserved with kerosene?"

"Can't even touch the air?"

"This is metal? Could this be metal? ”

"Huh? The whole body is silvery white, so soft, like the texture of a candle. ”

"That's potassium. Will it burn and explode? ”

"It's going to burn, this metal is going to burn?"

“……”

Ge Qingping also stepped forward excitedly, put on protective gear, and took a closer look at the silver metal lying quietly in the kerosene: "This is potassium?" The most reactive metal? ”

Lin Guofu took out a piece of potassium with tweezers and said, "Everyone, please be careful. ”

As he spoke, he threw the piece of metal into a basin of water. A miracle happened.

There was a 'bang' explosion.

"Ahh

Many people in the audience covered their ears in fright, and their hearts were full of surprise. Even Ge Qingping was taken aback. But when I looked up, I saw that the metal potassium was burning wildly in the water, with purple and blue flames, and frantically scurrying around on the water.

exclaimed: "It's really lively." This nature is too lively, right, as soon as it gets wet, it explodes and catches fire? ”

Someone stood up, walked up to take a closer look, and shouted, "It's slowly getting smaller as it burns, it's consuming?" ”

"Explode as soon as you get wet? Isn't this a fire that can't even be extinguished with water after it causes it? ”

"Can this metal be used to make weapons? It's a bit terrifying, and it burns to ignore the presence of water. ”

"Awesome."

“……”

Backstage, Xing Fu also walked out nervously, looking at the potassium burning violently and frantically in the water basin, constantly making a crackling sound, and his heart was extremely shocked.

This...... Can this anti-heavenly substance be discovered by them?

Xing Fu secretly despised in his heart, why should he tell these people how they got it? If he had kept it a secret, he would have just demonstrated the phenomenon. A lot of businessmen will come to him, will they come to invest, right? He can make a lot of money.

But it can be said that it is obtained from the electrolysis of potassium hydroxide, so everyone knows it. It's not worth much......

Xingfu is still feeling sorry for the people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.

After the piece of potassium was completely consumed, Lin Guofu said: "Potassium, we have been studying it for a month. In the end, a surprising phenomenon was discovered, and potassium is also present in our human body. ”

"What?"

"There is such a thing in our body that explodes when it sees water?"

"Really?"

“……”

Lin continued: "According to our follow-up investigation, the potassium in the human body is extremely useful. After cooperating with students from the Institute of Biochemistry of the Department of Chemistry, we found that if the human body lacks this potassium, people will have irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness and numbness, vomiting, diarrhea, and psychological coldness. I don't know if I don't study it, and I'm shocked when I study it, no one in Kyushu once knew that there was such an element in our body. And it has an extremely important role. ”

Ge Qingping was completely speechless in shock, he looked at his whole body, and only felt speechless.

Those guests were also shocked, which is not a small discovery. The discovery of potassium alone is enough to go down in history, and they even discovered the existence of potassium in the human body and the effect of potassium on the human body. This is a remarkable find.

Lin continued: "But we currently do not have any conditions to test whether we can artificially supplement potassium to the human body. In this project, we plan to conduct joint research with students from the Institute of Biochemistry in the future, focusing on potassium and the human body. In addition, after reverse extrapolation, our School of Materials Engineering unanimously determined that potassium has a great auxiliary effect on plant growth. Potassium has been shown to make the rhizomes of plants stronger than other plants, improving the quality of fruit trees......

In the later stage, we will also carry out in-depth cooperation with students from the Institute of Biochemistry. If potassium can be used industrially, such a fertilizer containing potassium can be produced. It will have an extremely important reform effect on the agriculture of the whole of Kyushu. ”

“……”

Groov.

Everyone's hearts beat wildly at this moment.

Led by Qian Mao and several other court officials, a fierce man stood up, his eyes were so excited that he looked at the high-spirited young people on the podium.

They understand the meaning of this sentence all too well. It can make the rhizomes of plants more robust and improve the quality of fruits. Chemical fertilizer!

What this means is self-evident.

The General Administration of the Forestry Administration walked up to the podium tremblingly, looked at the small silver metal, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Is this true? ”

Lin Guofu nodded indifferently: "This is just the result of our short experiment, and it has improved the quality of many plants in a short period of time." It shows that its energy must be more powerful than we think, and everything remains to be studied. ”

The General Administration said in a trembling voice: "The agriculture of Kyushu depends on you. I would like to ask the Imperial Court for a grant for your research on the development of potassium. ”

Lin Guofu laughed: "The country's agriculture, in the end, actually depends on the students of the Institute of Biochemistry. Sir, a classmate of the Institute of Biochemistry, in the next few years, may turn the entire country's agriculture upside down. And we, hehe, are obviously materials engineering, but we ended up taking a fork in the road and accidentally researching potassium ......"

Biochemical Research Institute? The crowd had heard about it more than once.

When Lin Guofu and others got off the stage, the host stepped onto the podium again: "Next, it is the team from the Department of Chemistry and the Institute of Biochemistry of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences that brought their findings: 'On the feasibility of plant hybridization to improve the national grain yield. ’”

Hiss –

Everyone in the room gasped.

Plant hybridization!

The Xingfu who watched the excitement was also dumbfounded at this time, and his heart was full of shock.

Take a look at the phenomenon of the reaction of sulfuric acid and magnesium in your own hands, and then look at the research results of the Department of Chemistry of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Myself...... I'm a piece of.

It seems to itself to be just a chemical phenomenon.

And they, one by one, are earth-shaking new discoveries in the chemical world. A new concept.

He did not understand plant hybridization, but the results of scientific research 'increased national grain production'. But he understood......
