Chapter 23 Artificial Synthesis (First Update)
- Everyone is so enthusiastic, I have to add three more chapters today, thank you!
..........................................................................................
Felipe habitually inserted his hands back into the pockets of his black trench coat, his expression gloomy and unchanging, but there were countless thoughts fluctuating in his heart: "Either the professor is a real madman, or he is indeed certain that he can synthesize the living matter contained in the human body from elemental or non-living things!"
"On the one hand, I believe that the Professor, who can go on the purification sequence, is a complete insane lunatic, and on the other hand, I believe that he has made a subversive and groundbreaking breakthrough in the field of elemental and necromancy that can go down in the history of magic, and will be the next winner of the 'Holm Crown' Award. Hehe, no matter which side you choose to believe, it is difficult to convince yourself. No wonder the professor's assessment on the purification sequence is very cunning and extremely dangerous. ”
"Bet with him, or go straight to war?"
Felipe hesitated, his intense curiosity and confidence in his necromancy made him want to see if the professor could really refine and synthesize living matter, and if it was finally the turn of the "Human Life Theory" after other basic theories of ancient magic were subverted one by one.
This is the attitude towards knowledge that a fourth-level arcanist in his early thirties should have!
"Except for the Dao Dao Apology, you don't seem to have anything to lose, Professor?" Felipe said slowly, causing the eyes of the mages and apprentices who didn't know where to put the Dao even more, could the powerful necromancer Mr. Felipe also be infected by the professor's absurdity and madness.
Lucien held back the joy in his heart and said unusually calmly, "At least my mission failed. "The young and powerful magician who gambled on himself from the Continent Magic Council must have achieved good achievements in arcane arts, and he definitely can't resist witnessing such an experiment that subverts the basic theory of necromancy!
Felipe stretched out his left hand into his pocket, and the four fingers were bent in turn, clenched into a fist, and his tone became firm: "Okay, Mr. Professor." Let's make this bet. We now sign the Devil's Pact?"
According to the Book of Astrology and the Elements, a magical contract is a document that seeks notarization from various powerful beings, and if it is violated, it will be punished by the notary accordingly. According to the strength of the notary, there are contracts where the amount of magic power is directly embedded in the document, which is the common magic contract that binds ordinary mages, and there are devil contracts that are notarized, according to the level of the devil summoned. It can be used to bind mid-level mages, high-level mages, and archmages, while contracts and oaths such as legends seem to be witnessed by the "origin" of the worldly realm.
"I believe in you, Mr. Felipe, and in myself, so I don't have to sign a devil's contract. Lucien replied in a calm tone.
In fact, his level can't summon demons at all. Even if summoned by Felipe, the devil will find out the true level when signing the contract, and although the cunning devil will not necessarily be exposed, it always feels bad to put the handle in the hands of others, so Lucien simply asks not to make a contract, creating a mysterious and unpredictable image.
Felipe was stunned if the professor wanted to do it. You can do it now, there's no need to regret it after the experiment fails, what the hell is the professor thinking?!, or does he not want the summoned devil to know his identity?
"If I hadn't kept my promise, I'm sure Viscount Calendia wouldn't have welcomed a guest like me either. Lucien gestured to Viscount Calendia, who looked like he was looking forward to the start of the experiment.
Viscount Calendia didn't expect that he would be affected even if he was standing, and he thought that the professor probably didn't want to leave his real name on the devil's contract. So he smiled and said, "Two gentlemen, why don't I be a witness." ”
Felipe nodded slightly: "Then the viscount will be the witness." Mr. Professor, let's start the alchemy experiment. ”
Lucien waved his hand: "For the sake of fairness, I will explain how to do it, Mr. Felipe, you will do it yourself, lest you make excuses after you fail and say that I did something when I did the experiment." ”
"Very reasonable proposal. Felipe couldn't help but applaud that on the one hand, this made the experiment more believable, and on the other hand, he might have been exposed to the details of the subversive and explosive arcane experiments, and learned a lot from them. As for the failure of the experiment, Felipe didn't think about it at all, because then it would be impossible to verify whether the experiment was effective, and I believe that the professor thought so and made such a reasonable suggestion.
Lucien laughed and didn't answer, it can't be said that it's because he doesn't have enough strength to complete this experiment.
After telling Felipe about the high temperature and high pressure requirements of the experimental alchemy array, Lucien watched quietly as he took out a fist-sized dark gold room from his pocket and took out many small alchemy devices from it.
Miraculously, as soon as these alchemical devices left the hut, they quickly changed to their original size under Felipe's manipulation, and soon set up the high platform into a nice little magic laboratory.
This made Lucien extremely envious, and he didn't know how to obtain this kind of alchemy item that could store things and carry around, which was simply a good helper for home travel meditation experiments.
As Felipe set up the magic lab, the mages and apprentices below began to whisper.
"You say, can Mr. Professor really refine the substance of life?" The "fat man" asked the people around him half resistantly, hesitantly, half expectantly.
The tall and thin "Red Wine" shook his head without hesitation: "How is it possible! The theory of human vitality is one of the basic theories of necromancy laid down by many legendary magicians in ancient times, and it is undoubtedly the truth!"
"Yes, there is no doubt about the truth!" a formal necromancer in front of them nodded solemnly, "Our success in refining the human body again and again is the best evidence!"
The "fat man" looked at them and whispered, "But if Mr. Professor loses, we will join the Pale Hand." If that's the case, I might as well go straight to the church and become a night watchman!"
"Bread" lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Maybe Mr. Professor is trying to raid Felipe while he is doing experiments, so Felipe won't be able to react!"
He hated Felipe so much that he didn't even address him as "sir".
"Despicable...... "Grouper", another apprentice, pouted at him, "but I like it!"
The necromancer in front of him shook his head and sneered: "Do you think Mr. Felipe will be defenseless, do you think Viscount Calendia, as a notary, will look at it like this?"
Sidney, who was on the high platform, watched Felipe busily set up the laboratory, and said expressionlessly, "What does Mr. Professor want to do?" He didn't think that the professor's experiment would be successful at all, maybe it had another purpose?
"I don't know what to do. I'm going to seriously think about the matter of the Pale Hand. Tess doesn't see the tell-it-all, and the professor thinks there is no chance of success, so he begins to think about how to seek the greater good in the "pale hand".
Sisi glanced at Sidney. Shaking his head stiffly: "I have already decided to go to the pale hand, and whether Mr. Professor can succeed or not has nothing to do with me." Of course, in my personal opinion, the doctrine of human vitality is a well-deserved truth. It's not something that a professor can overturn. ”
Sidney heard their answers, and was silent for a moment before nodding solemnly: "It's time for me to think about the Pale Hand, too." ”
Mosquitoes flew by. Felipe set up the magic lab, and looked at Lucien with slightly crazy black eyes: "Mr. Professor, please start explaining how to experiment." ”
Lucien recalled the issue of Arcane he had read, made sure that he was not mistaken about the meaning of the appendix symbol table at the end, and then said, "Separate nitrogen and hydrogen and store them separately." ”
Lucien is preparing to synthesize urea by industrial methods, that is, the first artificial synthesis of organic matter on earth. The reason why it is not synthesized or made in the laboratory is used. It is because the names of some substances in the reaction formula have not found the corresponding symbols and names of this world, and it is easy to be exposed if Felipe is pointed out to what kind of substance is by description alone, after all, it is impossible for a strong person in the field of elemental magic not to know the name of a similar substance.
The industrial method is simple, and several substances are very common, and I have also seen it in the content and symbol table of the Arcane Journal. On the contrary, the high temperature and high pressure conditions that were difficult to achieve in the 19th century laboratories of the earth were not difficult to achieve in this magical world.
After so many years of arcane experiments, magicians have long since invented the "separation gas" magic, and Felipe easily separated the two gases and put them into a vacuum glass jar.
The simple and conventional opening made Felipe ask Lucien with a slightly questioning gaze.
"Take a magnet ......" Lucien asked Felipe to load the catalyst material into the reactor, "pass the gas in proportion, and then heat it to about 500 degrees Celsius at a pressure of ......"
According to Lucian's explanation, Felipe opened all the alchemy arrays with all his strength and cooperated with the four-ring magic of "Pressure Cage" to barely make the temperature and pressure of the reactor meet the requirements.
After the reaction was over, Felipe sensed: "There is no living matter, Mr. Professor." ”
He didn't question it, because he believed that even if the professor failed, it wouldn't be so simple.
"Separate nitrogen and hydrogen and retain the remaining gas. Lucien still said unhurriedly.
Felipe laughed: "It's to prepare ammonia." Mr. Professor, you might as well be straightforward, I have ready-made ones in my lab. ”
“...... How do I know that it is also called ammonia. Lucien was silent, "Cool down, let it liquefy." The CO2 is then separated for storage. ”
Felipe probably guessed what the professor was going to refine from these substances, and sneered in his heart: "Can urea be synthesized by such a simple experiment?"
Then, after following Lucian's request, Felipe again loaded the liquid ammonia and carbon dioxide gas into the reactor in the proportions he had stated.
It is also a high temperature and high pressure condition, but this time the temperature is only about 200 degrees, and the pressure is only 100 or dozens of times that of the surroundings.
"To maintain this reaction, we will wait for a while. Lucien smiled slightly.
Felipe and the other mages, apprentices, and even Viscount Calendia thought that this was one of the steps in a magical experiment, because it was impossible to break the theory of human life force!
They had different emotions, but they waited quietly with the same disbelief.
Minutes and seconds passed.
PS: Although you can make up your own words to create a sense of reality, it is not conducive to everyone reading, so common substances will use their original names, so don't be entangled in what otherworldly world is also called nitrogen and hydrogen. (To be continued.) )
