Chapter 271 Elements

Camere Striker returned home after finishing today's experiment. His wife had already prepared toasted pancakes and mushroom soup, and filled a glass of white wine for him.

The latter two are goods sold in the convenience market, especially this kind of white and huge mushroom, just like the introduction on the signboard: You can’t find anything more delicious than this, and after he tasted it, he found that indeed so. The full and unique taste is hard to forget once you take a slice.

Of course, its price is also very astonishing. A flower as big as a palm needs a silver wolf. If it is not for the generous salary, Kai Mo would not be willing to buy such expensive food. There are many other things like this, such as soap and mirrors. As long as you have money, life in a small town is much more comfortable than ordinary nobles.

Roland is simply unfathomable, and this is what he feels the most.

After dinner, my wife handed me a letter.

"This is?"

"The guard sent it in the afternoon, but you hadn't come back yet," said the wife while packing up the tableware. "From what he said, it seems to be from Chishui City."

"Really?" Kaimo walked into the study room, cut open the seal with a knife, took out the letter paper and spread it out.

The first sentence at the beginning is actually hello, respected tutor.

This was a letter from Chalmers. He couldn't help smiling, and sat at the desk to read it carefully.

It turned out that after I left the Alchemy Workshop in Chishui City, another alchemist Capola became the new chief. But this person was narrow-minded. After obtaining the crystal glass formula left by Kaimo, he not only claimed to the lord that it was the work of him and Kaimo, but also intentionally or unintentionally excluded Chames in the alchemy experiment.

In his letter, he complained that it might be because he borrowed Capola's apprentice when he explored the double-stone acid method, but in the end he didn't inform the other party of the results in advance. Now several other alchemists seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, which annoyed Chames very much.

Kaimo probably understood the thinking of these people. As the youngest alchemist in the refining room, many people believed that Chames stood out from the crowd of disciples only by virtue of luck and his own appreciation. But the chief alchemist scoffed at this point of view. Saltpeter and green vitriol are common things. Why Chames discovered the two-stone acid method and not others is enough to explain the problem. Observation, memory, bold conjecture and careful experimentation are all indispensable, and the talent of this young man surpasses even his own.

At the end, Chames also attached two alchemy formulas to the letter, saying that they were new discoveries during the recent research on two acids, and shared with his mentor. But Kaimo could see at a glance that the essence of the two formulas was nothing more than the neutralization reaction of acid and base to form a salt. He could write out more than a dozen such formulas in one go.

Sighing, Kaymer Struer put down the letter paper, and moved his eyes to the "Elementary Chemistry" that had been turned over several times by the table.

What changed everything was this "ancient book" given to him by His Highness. If it wasn't for it, I might still be like Chames, still looking for the surface soil in the chaos and confusion, and regard it as a treasure.

He took the book and turned directly to the last page.

It was a table neatly divided into a hundred or so squares.

Every time he saw this form, he couldn't help but get goosebumps, and he felt an indescribable reverence...and fear.

There is a small serial number marked on the upper left corner of the grid, and the number at the end is one hundred and eighteen. Except for the first two rows, most of the grids are blank, but some in the middle are filled with symbols. For example, No. 26: iron, No. 29: copper.

The name of the table is "Periodic Table of Elements".

The chief alchemist once held the book tremblingly and asked Roland about the content of the blank space, but the answer he got was that it was originally filled, but he really couldn't remember it.

If the other party is not His Royal Highness, what he wants to do the most is to slap the entire book on the other party's face.

According to the records in the book, this table has included all the elements of the world. If there is a holy book on alchemy, it will undoubtedly be the most dazzling chapter in the holy book. What frightened him was, what kind of person could draw such a chart? If they have already achieved this level, what is alchemy? It's just a castle built by a group of children crookedly in the sand.

Kaimo suddenly remembered His Highness's promise. If Chames can be called over and a group of apprentices who were too late to take away last time, maybe the three new laboratories can be filled. In this way, the coveted "Intermediate Chemistry" can also be obtained.

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled out a blank sheet of paper and began to write a reply letter.

In fact, when His Royal Highness asked him at the meeting whether he had any idea about large-scale acid control, he didn't tell the truth, because the content was complicated and lengthy, and it was a waste of time to talk about it. Most importantly, he didn't know if this plan would work. After all, the preparation method he envisioned was completely fabricated based on the elements and reaction principles in books.

Compared with the previous alchemy experiments, this hypothesis is even a bit like a child's babbling in dreams, using never-before-seen substances and unheard of reaction methods to produce something that seems to have nothing to do with the raw materials, only Because they have the same element.

But Kymer Struer had a vague premonition in his heart that this method might work!

After all, the hundreds of permutation experiments before have all proved the correctness of the content described in this book.

With the preliminary plan, the next step is to complete a full set of theoretical experiments in the laboratory, because His Highness said that the process of products that can be produced on a large scale by industrial methods can also be reproduced in the laboratory.

The letter was finished quickly, and he didn't try to comfort Charles too much, but told the former big disciple straightforwardly about the known, measurable and seekable aspects of alchemy. Kyle believed that any wise man interested in alchemy would never let go of such an opportunity to witness the truth.

Fold the letter paper and stuff it into the envelope, then seal it with wax, and then just wait until tomorrow to hand it over to the merchant who is willing to deliver the letter.

After doing all this, his eyes moved to the periodic table of elements again.

If there is no time to fill in the gaps on the list, Kaimo will only feel that life will be boring in the future. Fortunately, His Highness Roland's last words made his heart surge, and those words still linger in his ears.

Don't make that face, every element on the periodic table is arranged in a regular way, and you can fill it all by yourself.

Regularity... Arrangement? Do you mean that unknown elements can also be deduced, just like deriving alchemical formulas?

Yes, even if you have never seen them, you can describe their appearance and characteristics.

So... what is this law?

you want to know? It's all in Intermediate Chemistry. (To be continued.,, your support is my biggest motivation.)
