Chapter 51: Why (1st 4,000 words)
- Thank you, I have been in the top 10 of the monthly pass list for a long time today, and the gap is not big at present, so I will continue to ask for monthly ticket support.
In addition, considering the recovery of my own update time and the coherence of the plot, the second chapter will be postponed to half past eleven tonight, and it will be a big chapter of five thousand words at that time, that is, the update will be advanced to tonight tomorrow morning, a total of nine thousand words, which is equivalent to three chapters.
..........................................................................................
Under the gaze of many arcanists, Lavendi, who was standing behind the experimental device, directly began the topic without any nonsense: "In the legends of intelligent races such as elves, dragons, and humans, the world is very similar at the beginning: lightning and thunder, volcanic eruptions, floods. Even the churches we hate the most have similar descriptions in their Holy Scriptures. When the debate arose over whether living matter could be synthesized, the 'partial' High Arcanists of the Elemental Will were inspired to come up with a hypothesis, why don't we simulate this environment, and see what would happen in a similar natural environment?"
Although his voice was tried to be low, everyone could hear his hidden excitement. Felipe nodded thoughtfully: "High temperature, lightning, could there be methane, urea and other living substances naturally generated, and the artificial synthesis in the experimental environment will be extended to the natural environment? This can further overturn the theory of human vitality and deal a heavier blow to the church, is it conceived by the professor or the high-level leaders of the elemental will? Listening to the tone of His Excellency Lavendi, it seems that the experiment has been successful?"
While thinking, Felipe turned his head to look at Lucian, and found that he was looking at it with a solemn expression and intent, and he didn't seem to know the content of the experiment very clearly: "It shouldn't be him, if there was such a decisive result, he would have thrown it out a long time ago, how can I get my turn?"
Other Arcanists have similar thoughts. After all, this was the point of discussion during this time, and Lavendi directly pointed out that he was inspired by this, so they exchanged ears. Discuss it in a whisper.
"What living matter will appear?"
"Methane, right? This kind of living matter is found in many places where volcanic eruptions, but it is thought to be produced by the decay of plants buried in the ground and ejected with volcanic eruptions. ”
"This is to directly exclude the interference of plants and other living organisms, and use the most primitive natural environment to produce it?"
The arcanists below are talking. Among the waiters waiting for orders outside the main house, Nikolai and Valente used all their strength to suppress their anger and keep their emotions calm from being sensed by the high-ranking arcanists.
"These damn blasphemous evil magicians. He is going to go further into the realm of the gods! Everything is caused by Felipe, the blasphemer! It's all him, and he must be purified!"
The two of them, who relied on special magic items to suppress their magic aura and strength, seemed to be real ordinary people, and under the arrangement of the old mage Fern, they mixed into the Sariwa Manor half a day in advance, and waited by the gate with other attendants against the cold wind of early spring.
Only when instructed to do so by a few of the magic apprentices in charge of them can they enter with hot water, towels, etc.
Before the two of them could find a chance, they saw Lavendi walk onto the platform and heard him introduce the experiment. I almost couldn't control the anger in my heart and sacrificed myself for the Lord.
"Quiet, please be quiet!" Ravendi's resounding voice stopped the buzz in the hall.
Looking around the hall, Lavendi continued: "Based on the analysis of the gases in the vicinity of the eruption, and according to the analysis of the elements that make up the matter of life, we will introduce this experimental apparatus with completely pure water, hydrogen, methane, and ammonia. ”
"In which methane passes through hydrogen with a gas that is burned with carbon. Synthesized with the help of catalysts...... The proportion of gas injected after the most concurrent injection was selected from many controlled experiments that we conducted at the same time. ”
Watching Lavendi open the alchemy array to artificially prepare ammonia and methane, Arcanists such as Tina Dimos and Felipe began to wonder what substance he wanted to refine.
Apparently that experiments with the synthesis of methane could be taken seriously as one of a series of evidences to disprove the theory of human vitality, Curavindi's behavior was as if he had prepared something in a magic laboratory, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
In a quiet but doubtful atmosphere, Lavendi synthesized the gas unhurriedly and clearly.
"Methane is really made from non-living matter, and it is no longer just rotting corpses and some bacterial life that can only be produced......" After a while, after witnessing Lavendi calmly mix the newly prepared gas with hydrogen in proportion and introduce it into the glass bottle in the upper left corner of the experimental device, many necromancers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and in just over a week, many of their past ideas were ruthlessly overturned.
Before the introduction, Lavendi not only used the magic array to identify that there were no other gases in it, but also asked Pesol, Felipe and others to complete the identification with their own identification techniques to ensure the authenticity and credibility of the experimental results.
This rigor made the arcanists more and more curious about the result, and Lavendi poured the pure water produced by the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen directly into the glass bottle in the lower left corner.
"Now the experimental environment and experimental materials have been prepared, which are common things in the natural environment. Next, let's start the official experiment. Lavendi opened the magic circle, causing a continuous electric spark to appear in the glass bottle in the upper left corner, "This is a simulated lightning. ”
"It's a simulation of the heat and flooding of a volcanic eruption. Raven first introduced, and at the same time activated the alchemy circle around the glass bottle in the lower right corner.
He then opened the catheter valve and connected the entire experimental setup. The pure water in the glass bottle in the lower right corner evaporates at high temperatures, enters the glass bottle in the upper left corner through the catheter, meets the gas mixture, and is shrouded in the constant "lightning", and after a period of time, the naturally condensed water returns to the water-filled glass bottle through the lower tube and other experimental devices.
Seeing that the loop appeared in its entirety, Lavendi exited the platform and activated the protective magic array around it: "This will take about a week. I will open the magic circle, and I also ask all arcanists to arrange their own unique magic sigils around them to prevent artificial interference with the experiment during this time. ”
"It will take about a week? What the hell is going to do here?" the arcanists didn't understand the meaning of the experiment at all, and Timothy, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, said humorously, "Is there going to be a baby in there?
The necromancers didn't pay attention to this obviously joking remark, and the human body was extremely complicated, even if it didn't mention the question of the soul. A more complex life matter is not so easy to produce! This experiment is so simple that it is hard to imagine any advanced products!
Lavendi nodded solemnly: "Yes, it will take a week or so." During this time, we were discussing the issue of alchemical substances helping plants grow. The rooms on the top four floors of this main house and in the back buildings are large enough for everyone. Please also be able to supervise the independent and objective operation of this magic. ”
Suspicious, Pesol, Rogerio, and the others used teleportation to consult the nearby Revenant Juggernaut, and agreed to Lavendi's request, and they themselves were very curious about what this experiment that simulated the primitive environment could prove.
Axilion and Elastine, who sat next to Lucien, were interested in natural and primitive things, but they knew little about magical experiments. I couldn't guess what this experiment was trying to do, so curiosity overwhelmed disgust, and I turned to Lucian and asked, "Mr. Evans." What did you high-ranking arcanists of the Elemental Will design this experiment to prove?"
According to Mr. Lavendi, perhaps it is to further overturn the theory of human vitality and prove that simple living matter can also occur in the natural environment. Lucien said the same guess as the other Arcanists, but it was enough to scare the two Elven Royals.
Ellestine, who used to rub her pink lips with her right index finger when she thought, was more likely to agree that there was a huge gap between living and non-living forms, but the discussion among the magicians in the past few days had made her a little shaken: "Appearance in natural environment...... Seems to be pretty good. ”
"Primordial will of nature, without the intervention of the gods?" thought Exirion, bewildered in the mind of a druid.
Outside the main gate, Nikolai and Valente were anxious, and their plans were divided into two options. One is to enter the hall and pass around Felipe after being instructed to do a thunderous blow, and the other is to wait for the mages to end their discussion and attack Felipe when he comes out.
As a result, the meeting lasted for a week, and the longer it went on, the easier it was for the two of them to be discovered!
I just hope that Felipe will not be placed a few floors above the main house, but in other buildings. When evening comes, he will also leave the hall.
The old mage Fern, who was sitting at the front of the hall, touched the gray beard on his lips with a solemn expression, if there was no natural opportunity, then create one yourself, but it seemed too late today.
Ravendi waited until the arcanists' discussion gradually stopped, and said, "This research with the druids is going well, and the three alchemical substances proposed by Lucian Evans have been confirmed, which can effectively help increase food production. This is of immeasurable importance to all human nations. ”
"Now that the experiment has entered the observation stage without the influence of the druids' natural magic, it will take about four to five months, so we are here to discuss in advance what other alchemical substances are useful, and how to simplify their alchemical reactions to facilitate large-scale preparation and popularization. Next, Evans shares his discovery process. ”
Warm applause rang out, at least in the minds of most arcanists, if it weren't for Lucien's accidental synthesis of urea, Felipe would never have thought of overturning the theory of human vitality. Although his results were not decisive, they are undoubtedly worthy of respect.
The few necromancers who knew the chaos of the world and were difficult to meditate effectively glanced at Lucien who walked up to the front of the platform with a little resentment, but they didn't have the urge to kill him, after all, it was Felipe who overthrew the theory of human vitality, and it was only after the opportunity to teach him a lesson that it was the turn of the others.
Lucien cleared his throat and spoke softly about the experiment, in which the control experiments were confirmed by elves such as Ellerstine and magicians such as Theodore, and there was no problem - although they had tampered with some of the data, Lucien had changed it back according to his reasoning.
After talking about the process of arcane research, just when everyone applauded and thought that Lucien would come down, Lucian made a downward gesture to signal the arcanists to be quiet.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Lucien said with a serious expression: "Through my arcane papers and the results of your experiments, I think everyone has noticed that these elements that can help plants grow must be contained in alchemical substances that can be dissolved in water before they can be absorbed by plants. ”
"Isn't it obvious that plants rely mainly on water and sunlight, so they can only be absorbed by them if they dissolve in water. I think most Arcanists would have thought of this after the first few failed experiments, but you were pushed forward by you, Mr. Evans. "An arcane master who is good at both necromancy and elemental magic affected by the doctrine of human life force is slightly dissatisfied.
An incomprehensible smile appeared on Lucian's delicate face: "Since it is obvious, then I would like to ask everyone, why can it only be absorbed when it is dissolved in water? What is the particulate matter suspended in water? Plants do rely on water and sunlight, but there is no direct experiment to prove that water is only used as a means of transportation here! What is the difference between an alchemical substance before and after it dissolves into water?" As for the last point, all the arcanists should have noticed a similar phenomenon in some of their other magical experiments, but for what?"
The arcanists' minds were a little dizzy because of what they had done, but when they carefully recalled the magic experiments they had done, they found that there were indeed similar phenomena, such as the huge difference in electrical conductivity between salt crystals and salt solutions, but because these phenomena were so common and common, they were taken as common sense, and no one thought about what to do.
With these questions asked, Lucien stepped off the platform and gave time to the arcanists to discuss.
"Evans, you're starting to do this again. I remember that after the periodic table was confirmed, you also asked a series of questions, just like Speaker Douglas habited. Larry's chubby, round face showed an emotional smile, "Your sensitivity to questions is amazing, and this is where I need to learn from you." ”
Before Lucien could be polite, Timothy pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said jokingly, "Evans, I think there are a few nicknames that are very suitable for you, such as 'Evans who loves to ask what is going on', such as 'The Questioner', what do you think?"
"It's not good, and the first nickname has a name in it. Lucien shook his head and walked through them toward the center.
Timothy smiled, "What do you think would be a better way to describe Evans?"
"What are 100,000 for......" Lucien sat down expressionlessly.
............
In the half-dimensional space, the Storm Lord chuckled softly, "There are so many questions. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Douglas, the speaker of the Magic Council.
Feeling the gaze of the Storm Lord, Douglas withdrew his gaze from the experimental device, just now he was simulating the possible outcome of this experiment in his meditation environment, not paying attention to what happened afterward, so he gave a questioning look.
"A hundred thousand for what. The Storm Lord whispered.
Douglas said strangely, "What?"
............
Thanks to Lucian's questioning, the Arcanist had a direction for the discussion, and from time to time someone came to the stage to speak, and used another alchemy platform to complete the experiment, in which occasionally a hypothesis was proposed, and it was falsified, and time passed quickly.
After that, both Lucien and Felipe were placed in the upper rooms of the main house, and the attendants were all filled by a small number of magic apprentices, so that Nikolai and Valente did not have a chance to infiltrate. This made the old mage Fern almost want to do it himself, but unfortunately he was in another house.
During the day, Nikolai and Valente occasionally had the opportunity to enter the hall, but Felipe and Lucien were careful to sit among the many arcanists, drinking water that they had prepared before, and not giving people the opportunity to poison and attack at all, which greatly disappointed them. However, not being "discovered" by the high-level arcanists emboldens them, and they feel that special magic items work well.
Seeing that the seven days were about to pass and there was no chance, the old mage Fern became impatient, and when Felipe returned to Heidler City, he, the elemental mage, could not help! )
