Chapter 385: Demon Stone and Elemental Electron Theory
"Demon Stone?" Hearing this title, Yolande suddenly became interested and asked curiously. "Do you know why it's called this?"
The old miner didn't dare to hide it, and quickly explained.
This peculiar ore was dug from a mine in the royal domain, where the owner of the mine had bought several nearby mountains to mine copper, only to find a strange crystal-like ore in the mountain.
In addition, a strange glowing magical beast was also discovered, which seemed to feed on this ore, and the whole thing excreted was silvery-white, shiny, very similar to silver ore, but much heavier.
The owner of the mine immediately realized that the mine was the source of his wealth, and immediately organized a large number of people to carry out the excavation work, hired a master carver, and made the natural crystal-like ore into ornaments.
And that silvery-white unknown metal was also sold at a high price to some interested nobles and wealthy merchants!
However, after working for a period of time, some miners working in the mine suddenly contracted a malignant disease, inexplicably becoming dizzy and weak, having difficulty breathing, and even skin began to peel off and fester.
The mine owner who received the guard's report didn't care at first, thinking that the miners were trying to be lazy again, until several nobles who had bought ore ornaments showed similar symptoms, which led to an investigation by the church, and they realized the seriousness of the problem.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and it didn't take long for the church to close the mine, and then there was a rumor in the royal capital that these strange ores were cursed by evil wizards, and the owner of the mine was also burned alive at the stake on the grounds of colluding with evil god believers and using witchcraft to kill the nobles of the kingdom......
After listening to the miner's account, Yolande became more and more interested in the ore in front of him, and he could naturally see that this thing had no magic reaction at all, and should be a natural creation.
However, the name of this demon stone still made Yolande cautious, and changed from holding it in his hand to using the [Mage's Hand] to lift it.
"Lord Wizard, look, this ......" The old miner said with anxiety in his heart when he saw that Yuland's face changed slightly, and he was somewhat worried that offering such an evil thing would cause the other party to be unhappy.
If it weren't for the tempting reward, he wouldn't have dared to take the risk!
"You're doing a good job, it's fifty Imperial Gold Coins, take it!" Yolande said with a smile, and as soon as his mind moved, shiny gold coins flew out and were stacked on the table.
In order to encourage the lords of the royal capital to take out the good things, Yolande directly gave the highest prize, a full fifty imperial gold coins!
"Thank you, Wizard, for your generosity that has darkened the stars......"
Seeing the pile of gold coins, the old miner knelt on the ground excitedly, kept kowtowing his head, expressing his admiration and gratitude, and then, with the permission of Yoland, his wrist trembled and swept all the gold coins into his pocket.
The people of the royal capital who were lining up in the back were all blushing when they saw the old miners exchange dozens of gold coins for a piece of demon stone, and they also sighed in their hearts that these wizards were really trustworthy.
Such a large sum of money is actually given when it is said to be given!
In the past two days, hundreds of people have sent all kinds of strange objects, all of which have been refused, so much so that they all began to wonder if these wizards were deliberately entertaining themselves.
Now it turns out that they just didn't find the right thing, and these wizards even want the Demon Stone!
"It's up to you to take care of this for the time being, Yathos, and if you find a new element, send someone to inform me!" Yolande solemnly reminded him, and then hurriedly reported with this 'Demon Stone'.
In fact, if he could, Yolande would prefer to research it in private, and if a new element could be studied thoroughly, it would be easy to obtain a Morning Star Medal!
However, considering the rumors of this demon stone, Yolande still put away this little caution, and reporting it is the best result.
……
At the same time, in the manor of the royal capital, Lynn was looking at today's edition of the Magic Daily, and the front page headline was a terrifying headline.
[Thunder is the ultimate answer to all magic - on the internal structure of the elements!] 】
"Yes, have you discovered that there may be electrons inside the element?" Lynn secretly admired that it had only been two or three days, and sure enough, after breaking free from the obstacle of the inseparability of atoms, the imagination and creativity of wizards were quickly stimulated.
Anthony, who published this paper, was a failure, but he had many unexpected gains, such as proving that two atoms do produce a repulsive force when they are very close together, and he also calculated this small distance.
This repulsive force is very similar to the phenomenon of mutual repulsion between the two poles of two magnets, so Anthony made a bold conjecture that there is electricity inside the atom!
The corresponding [Elemental Purple Fruit] model is also given.
Purple fruit, a specialty of the Hadrata Kingdom, is a pomegranate-like thing filled with fruit particles inside.
According to Anthony's vision, positive and negative charges are like purple fruits in atoms, and most elements have positive charges in their inner layers and secondary charges in their outer layers, and when they are close together, they will have a repulsive force due to the repulsion of the same sex.
Other elements have the opposite structure, with the outer layer being positively charged and the inner layer negatively charged, so the two can combine and react to produce light and heat, and even flame......
The whole paper is sprinkled with thousands of words, occupying the entire page, Lynn read it with relish, although this conclusion is wrong, but the process of deduction and brain hole are very interesting,
It can really explain some of the phenomena to a certain extent.
For example, Anthony believes that the reason why the elements are in motion all the time is because they are subjected to gravitational forces that are close to each other and because they are bounced off by the repulsive force, so they are always under the alternating action of these two forces.
Just as Lynn was about to flip through the newspaper to find out if there were any other novel theories, he saw Ellock hurrying in from outside the courtyard.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Seeing Ellock's eager look, Lynn immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and asked with a solemn expression.
Dean Lynn...... Element...... It's a new element! Alok gasped for breath, a look of excitement on his face. Today, Yoland, who is in charge of collecting novelties, has discovered a Demon Stone, which has been tested to be a new element that has never been recorded before. ”
