Chapter 4: Joy and Loss

In the Purple Garden next to the former residence of the Qin Dynasty in Luoyang, a beautiful girl in Zhongtiandi is also reading the book "Chemistry".

"Master, look, here, Qin Gongzi's experiment is exactly the same as ours!" From time to time, the girl's surprised cry sounded. At this time, Gao Tianlai smiled and looked at Xian Yuting on the side: "Master, I can't imagine that Qin Gongzi is also doing the same research as us, with his wisdom, if we don't understand, he will definitely be able to give the answer, Master, so ......"

"In this way, our master will be Mrs. Qin in the future!" An Menglu also quipped.

Xian Yuting strained her face: "You two read books carefully, what nonsense!" Although she was scolding, her tone was not at all cold as before, and Xian Yuting's face was red and glamorous, Gao Tianlai and An Menglu glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of emotion.

Hang Ci Jingzhai disciple, the identity is doomed, you must not marry a cat or a dog casually, Xian Yuting insists on using the method of "Recruiting Relatives" to recruit relatives, there are not many people in Cihang Jingzhai to support, but Xian Yuting is too tough and for various reasons, everyone acquiesced to her behavior.

It can be said that even the elders who have always stood on the side of Xian Yuting and agreed that the Qin Dynasty is the devil and must be removed also hope that the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai Sect like Xian Yuting will not marry others, and it is better to marry a figure like Qin Shengchao, not that they can't marry others, but they must not be too bad.

Now that the book "Chemistry" has been published, all the women in the Purple Garden are smiling with their eyebrows and eyes.

"Master, look at Qin Gongzi's experiment, the same experiment, he did better than us, and his experiment ......" Gao Tianlai sighed, and a crisp voice immediately sounded next to him.

"yes, after watching his experiments, and then looking at ours, I know now. Doing experiments is not casual, what to do, how to do it, quantitative, qualitative, instrumental. Method ......"

"Yes, everything has to be just right, doing academic research is easy to get started, but it is difficult to produce results, ......"

"Like this burning experiment, we didn't expect to come like him......" The women also sighed, not to know, but to feel some gaps. Although the gap is small, the reflection is intriguing.

"Hmph! Xian Yuting scolded, "Who doesn't know that this demon surnamed Qin is smart? And he has done more experiments than us, but what about the conclusion? ”

The women laughed, and even settled down to continue reading. Gao Tianlai chuckled: "Master, Qin Gongzi didn't come to a conclusion, but he would write it, you don't have to worry." You can't get out of the palm of his hand anyway. The girls couldn't help but laugh like silver bells again. Xian Yuting's flush spread to the base of her ears, and she snorted. Just as he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly froze.

"In order to unify all the phenomena, I decided to use a temporary explanation, which is the 'phlogiston' ......"

Xian Yuting's heart beat like a deer, she closed her eyes and took a slight breath, and then she watched again.

"The world is divided into combustible and non-combustible. So how to explain these combustion phenomena......"

"I think that fire is a material entity composed of countless small and lively particles, which can either combine with other substances to form new substances, or exist in a free way, and a large number of free fire particles gather together to form a distinct flame, which I call 'phlogiston'!"

"Phlogiston fills the heavens and the earth. It flows in thunder and lightning, on the earth, in the heavens, in the seas, on the land, in animals, plants, minerals, and in people, and in the atmosphere ......"

"When a substance is heated, phlogiston cannot be automatically decomposed, but air must be added to absorb the phlogiston in it, and combustion can achieve ......."

Reading the author's hypothetical 'phlogiston theory' explanation in this article, Xian Yuting's whole head was shocked, this is the answer, phlogiston, everything is the reason for phlogiston!

At this time, the other women also saw the 'phlogiston' in the Qin Dynasty book one by one, and they all became excited.

"Master, the answer is out!"

"Master, it seems that we have to prepare a dowry for you, hey, do you want to accompany the girl!"

"Senior Sister Ning Xian, you don't want to be a dowry girl by yourself, do you?"

"Senior Sister Yu, don't think about it, read carefully, this phlogiston said, Qin Gongzi can say it, it's just an assumption, it's for better research!"

The old man holding tea under the porch squinted: "Phlogiston, this is Duan Gongzili's hypothetical answer, but ......" Lu Gongzhu put phlogiston theory into experiments and phenomena, and suddenly his whole body was shocked: "How is it possible, this is really a hypothetical answer, but all phenomena can be explained, why?"

In the forest at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Wang Anshi walked back and forth, his eyes shining: "That's right, these experiments can be explained by phlogiston, and ...... This can also explain ......" Gradually, Wang Anshi stopped walking, "No, all the phenomena can be explained, why does Duan Gongzi just take it as a hypothesis? Could it be that Duan Gongzi still wants to find a deeper truth?"

Liu Qin sat in the boudoir with a rosy face: "This is the research results of the villain surnamed Qin and Duan Gongzi, a good phlogiston theory, can completely explain all phenomena, but they are very ambitious, and they only regard it as a transitional explanation, which is a strange thing......"

Cheng Yi looked at Cheng Yang: "Uncle Bao, what do you think of phlogiston?"

"Perfect, everything I can imagine can be explained!" Cheng Yang said in a deep voice, "If this doctrine is used to pick fruits, the score is absolutely ridiculously high, I'm sure it!"

"So you think so, but ......" Cheng Yi shook his head slightly, "This eldest prince, why don't you agree with this concept very much in your tone?"

"Maybe it's his always rigorous academic attitude that has influenced him, so even if it's the real answer, you have to be humble before you get the proof of the longevity formula, what if it's wrong in the end?"

"Perhaps!"

In the history of chemistry, the phlogiston theory was formed at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, and it was a very influential chemical concept formed after the discipline of chemistry was separated from alchemy and really became a science.

Therefore, Qin Chao wrote this wrong answer in the book, and even directly said that it was just an imaginary, and the transitional explanation proposed in order to better find the answer still made a person's heart moved.

Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Liu Qin, Wang Anshi...... All the bigwigs already believe in their hearts that this answer should be the ultimate answer to the entire "Chemistry".

The women in the purple garden teased at the red-faced Xian Yuting, and Xian Yuting took a long breath, feeling that the burning on her whole face had decreased slightly, and then she glared at the people around her: "This phlogist said that even the demon surnamed Qin himself said that it was a hypothesis, what are you doing, this answer may not be correct." ”

"But, I think everything fits!"

"Master, don't deceive yourself, this phlogiston said, although Qin Gongzi doesn't approve of it, but it can really explain everything, this is not the right answer, what is the right answer?" said with a smile. Xian Yuting retracted her mind, thought carefully about phlogistin and said, and gradually her eyes widened: "This ...... It seems that I can't really find too many mistakes, could it be ......" Xian Yuting's heart pounded, and she slowly read down.

One by one, they retracted their thoughts and began to read.

"The phlogiston theory can undoubtedly prove all phenomena, but is this really the final answer? Maybe, but I need more, and I want to find more truth in it......

"I can only say that it was God's luck that when I did magnesium burning this day, I found that after it burned, the weight actually increased instead of decreasing......"

Not decreasing but increasing?

Xian Yuting was stunned for a moment, and Gao Tianlai, who saw this next to her, also widened her eyes.

"According to phlogiston, substances release phlogiston during combustion, so the weight is reduced after combustion, in fact, dry wood, oil, candles, all combustible substances are reduced in weight after combustion, but magnesium actually becomes heavier after combustion?"

"Excluding all possible accidents and mistakes, after repeating the experiment again and again, I found that the magnesium did become heavier after burning......"

"I started a lot of experiments on the combustion of burning substances, burning again and again, especially looking for substances that seem to have properties similar to magnesium to burn, and finally I found copper, iron, lead, mercury ......"

"Since magnesium, copper, iron, lead, and other substances increase in weight when burned, it is clear that the statement that substances are burned because of the release of phlogiston" is false......

Reading the narrative in the book, the ruddy on Xian Yuting's face had completely browned, and even a little pale.

One by one, the women were silent and quiet.

Phlogiston said that it was wrong, although everyone did not recognize it, but from the tone of Duan Haifeng in the book, it was 100% determined that it was wrong.

At this time, the faces of the scholars in the martial arts world also sank, and they lost their previous excitement.

"Things in the world are really not that simple!" Cheng Yi sighed lowly, "But only people like Duan Haifeng will find out that phlogiston is wrong, and we are afraid that it will ......."

"We came out of there, inheriting the spirit of our ancestors. Cheng Yang said in a deep voice, "We are all the way to the sages of the past dynasties, Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianao are different from us, they are anti-Zhuzi Baijia, the sages of the past dynasties, and the masters of the anti-ancestors, they may be demons, but to find the truth, they really need such demons!"

"This section of Haifeng, it's really ......" Sima Guang raised his head in the study, "People don't know whether to praise or depreciate, it's too serious! The answer I found was overturned by myself, and then I was troubled...... Although this person is a subversive demon king and has made things like 'sexual evil' that will make future generations poke at the backbone, if you think about it carefully, he may not be evil by nature, but because he doubts everything and pursues the truth!"

"The avenue is simple, but the avenue is also complicated. Wang Anshi's brows flew, "How can such an avenue be easy to obtain, it's okay like this, Duan Haifeng did the right thing, he should be exhausted to the end!"

"This Senior Brother Qin, I originally thought that he had gone to the peach blossom luck again. Su Shi shook his head and sighed, "He's good, and he gave away the beauty in his hand again, Phlogistin said how good, now it's ......."

Continue reading one by one, but my heart is a little dull, the nature of matter in nature, and various combinations of changes, complicated, all kinds of unknown factors are like cow hair, studying this, it is as difficult as guessing God's thoughts, even phlogiston said that this statement has been overturned, can Duan Haifeng give an answer?
