"First of all, let me talk about the first question, in the identification of these two bottles of reagents, I set a relatively harsh conditions, and planted a very deceptive trap, and then misled everyone when judging George's answers, in this case, I have to say that everyone's performance has been very good. ”

Xiao Yi's words made the students at the scene relax slightly, and no one would refuse to take the steps that took the initiative to take care of their face, but the next words knocked everyone's mood to the bottom.

However, this is not an excuse for failure, because in the real research we are faced with more harsh conditions, the study of alchemy has never been a little sloppy, take George's inference process just now is not bad in terms of method or thinking, but only a very remote auditory verification, the final result is very different.

But that's not the point I'm going to talk about, what I really want to emphasize on this issue is confidence and courage, and when I hear some of you here, you might say, 'I'm very confident in myself, you see, I just answered very quickly and surely', and I can only say, then you're amazing!

Listening to Xiao Yi's funny tone imitating the student, many people below laughed, and even George, who was used as a negative teaching material, smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

"Please note that the courage and self-confidence I am talking about are not self-confidence in the conventional sense, but whether you have the courage to stick to your own judgment and conclusions when faced with unreasonable results and ideas and opinions that are different from most people.

It is precisely because of the lack of courage to jump out of the routine that everyone ignores the idea of using unpopular methods to verify, and it is precisely because of the lack of self-confidence that Kebixi failed to insist on his own opinions, thus echoing everyone's wrong answers!

I know that alchemy itself is an astonishing act of going against the heavens and challenging the laws and laws of the world with a small amount of power. If you don't have the courage and self-confidence to dare to do what others dare not do and dare to think what others dare not think, there is no way to make a breakthrough on this difficult road, and this is the first point I want to teach you!"

Xiao Yi's words were loud, like a loud drum beating in everyone's hearts, and people like George and Kebicy, who had just participated in the answer, were even more scorching at this time, and they had quite a feeling in their hearts.

"Let's talk about the second important point, when I mixed the two solutions together, no one dared to try to touch the mixed solution directly with their hands, I wonder if anyone has begun to regret that they didn't have the courage to try it directly!"

Many students below nodded their heads, but some of the senior students, including George, and many teachers in the back row showed thoughtful expressions.

"It's important to be brave enough to try, but I don't recommend trying without knowing anything, so in a way, you're right!

But I think the reason why people don't dare to try it is because no one has mixed these two reagents before, and no one has touched them with their hands, so it can't be guaranteed.

So now I tell you that I have never done an experiment with these two solutions, and it is the first time for me to perform it in front of you today, but why do I dare to be so sure that they are not harmful to the human body when they are mixed?

"Dissipate the reaction!" George shouted directly as if he had suddenly realized, and Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.

"That's right, when the bellflower is heated in water, it will have a violent dissolving effect on the toxins of the wood properties, and the toxicity and corrosiveness of the poisonous propolis mud in the marsh are all wood properties, so even if I have not conducted experiments, I can know that the mixed solution will become non-toxic under the action of the reaction.

Of course, I am not willing to put my hand into it without making inferences, so my courage does not come from my fearlessness, but from my knowledge and bold assumptions and reasonable inferences in the face of unknown situations, and this is the second important point I want to emphasize to you!

No matter how talented or experienced you are, you can't see all the reactions and combinations, and if you can't deduce the expected effects based on hypotheses and deductions, it would be too lazy and rigid to just wait for ready-made experience, but if you can master this well, you can often save a lot of effort in learning and research!"

After speaking this paragraph, not only the students and teachers of the alchemy department were excited, but even Illester felt quite rewarded, because he found that the things that Xiao Yi said could not only be applied to the study of alchemy, but also had guiding significance for all disciplines.

Xiao Yi saw that everyone's emotions were very excited, and he knew the truth of overdoing it, and then he slowed down his tone and continued: "As for the third point, although not all the students have tasted the mixed solution just now, everyone should have seen the effect.

In fact, the bellflower solution has completely dissolved the active ingredients in the moorland poison propolis mud after removing the toxicity, and the remaining residue is non-toxic, but the taste is not very good!

Of course, this thing is not completely useless, because it is harmless to the body, so it can be used as an emetic!"

Those who had just been 'tricked' into tasting the solution were even more bitter after hearing this, and some even remembered the taste in their mouths just now and began to retch, and one of the senior students asked:

"But why are you okay, teacher?"

"Yes, teacher, how can you put up with this smell?"

Xiao Yi faced countless curious eyes, shrugged his shoulders and raised the hand that had just been dipped in the solution, and replied in a playful and mocking tone:

"Well, I'm afraid you didn't notice, the finger I just put in and dipped in the solution was my middle finger, and when I took it out and put it in my mouth, it was replaced by my index finger!"

After a moment of stunned thought, a lot of laughter rang out, and the 'lucky ones' who had tasted the reagents all had expressions of lovelessness in the laughter at this time.

"Damn, I can still do this!"

"Teacher, won't your conscience hurt if you do this!"

"Hahaha, you guys are content, the teacher didn't lie to you just now and taste, it's merciful enough!"

"Get out, don't talk about such a disgusting thing, I remember the smell just now, vomit ......"

The uproar came and went, and the students felt that the young teacher and themselves did not seem to have any sense of distance, and that they were more like one of them than the pedantic cliché that was close to mischievousness.

"Of course, this is a little joke, but this is also the last point I want to tell you, you must develop the habit of careful observation at all times, and do not let go of any small changes and abnormalities, because you must be the one who suffers in the end if you are not careful, I believe you have already experienced this, haven't you!

Well, the time is almost up!

Now let's sum up, bold assumptions, belief in oneself, reasonable reasoning, careful observation are the core methods of learning alchemy and conducting research, these conditions are not external forces but come from your own attitudes and habits, as long as you pay more attention to it I think it is not difficult to do, and this is my advice and experience for everyone.

That's all for today's lesson, if you have any questions, please feel free to come to me to discuss with you! I look forward to giving you another class next time, goodbye!"

Moments later, there was thunderous applause.
