Chapter 261 The Mystery of Alchemy
"The secret of alchemy is equivalent exchange."
"Witch" Karina repeated this seemingly ordinary sentence, and her ignorant eyes showed that it was her first contact with this concept.
Not just her, this concept is a completely different knowledge system from the past for the alchemists of this era.
The sacrifices when engraving the alchemy circle may not represent sacrifices,
Instead, it is used as a condition for equivalent exchange with the omniscient sage.
A very novel idea, maybe it is a key to open the door of truth.
A dangerous profession like an alchemist often suffers from accidents precisely because of irregular operations when forming an formation.
The god who was used as a sacrifice took away an important part of the body, perhaps some parts, perhaps the memory of the mind, precious things such as life or soul.
Thinking about it now, this tribute ceremony was not for sacrifice, but he was not satisfied with the equivalent items on the scale, so he would take away more things until the two sides were equal.
Seeing a trace of hesitation in the other party's eyes, Tu Fu continued while the iron was hot:
"There is an important theory in my published classical physics theory, the law of conservation of matter, you can read it if you are interested.
Matter neither disappears nor is created, but is transformed from one substance into another, and this is the principle of alchemy. "
Tu Fu used this theory to defeat William II, and now he is using this method to fool this extraordinary academic organization.
And Karina, who was half-exposed, didn't care about the nakedness in front of her eyes, thinking about this question like a studious student:
"Since it is the principle of equal value exchange, the price tag of piling up many human lives is too heavy on the scale, which makes the ceremony silent. That's how it is."
The witch wearing a wizard hat followed Tu Fu's train of thought to make inferences, and was successfully misled by Tu Fu's theory.
"Then what method should be used to achieve a real equivalent exchange."
After gradually controlling the right to speak in the courtyard, Tu Fu smiled slightly:
"That's a good question. In fact, what I think is the microcosmic principle of alchemy is that the alchemist fully understands the substance, uses spells to break it down, and then reconstructs it into a new alchemical object.
This is the reason why I said you made a big mistake at the beginning. On the basis of not being able to understand what elements matter is composed of, no matter how many sacrifices you contribute, if you don’t understand its principles, you will always be in the embryonic exploration period.
As for your so-called alchemy, in my opinion, it is like the understanding of basic calculations by Ryan people. If you do not master the multiplication table, you will never be able to improve the level of the whole people.
Oh, the Ryan people's arithmetic is almost as good as their food, which is really bad enough. "
If he used his identity as "Jack", the other party probably wouldn't even bother to listen to what he said.
But now he is Tuf Capet, the youngest genius scholar in the Baia Kingdom, even if his major is not the right one, it does not prevent him from bringing out this theory.
Sure enough, after these words were finished, "Witch" Karina stopped the work at hand, her brows were furrowed into a ball, and she began to seriously think about the information that Tu Fu confides.
"Equivalent exchange...matter conservation...element composition..."
Every sentence of Tu Fu contains a huge amount of knowledge and information.
For things like the framework and outline of alchemy, only by understanding the most basic concepts of alchemy rules can one truly know what is right and what is wrong.
"Miss……"
General Felice, who had been watching silently, looked at Karina who suddenly stopped, and shook his head at the two Sequence 5 transcendents who didn't know where they were going. An inexplicable uneasiness arose in his heart.
His arrival may cause the ritual of human body refining to fail, which made Felice look at the smiling Tu Fu bitterly.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Tu Fu, I don't care what you want to do when you come to Narnia, but it's best not to get in my way."
"General, is it your business to exchange the lives of countless Narnians for your wife's life?
Oh, such a deal is really generous, it seems that the Lantis people are not good at mathematics. "
Tu Fu smiled playfully, and the disdain in his words and expression appeared, as if he had stepped on the tail of the Landis hero general.
It directly caused his face to be as cold as ice, and he approached Tu Fu without fear, "You don't know anything, you don't understand my pain, and you have no right to judge my actions."
Tu Fu shrugged indifferently, "I don't need to know you, and I'm not interested in hearing your story. After all, I'm just a self-righteous bastard."
Looking at that face, Phyllis seemed to think of what happened in Göttinghagen, and even smiled softly, "Actually, we are all the same. We dedicated everything to the motherland we love when we were young. Serve the country.
But we have never received due gratitude for our contributions, only people's endless hatred and fear.
Don't talk about me, let's see what happens to you.
Did anyone really thank you for exposing the Republic's tricks in Baia?
Landis thinks you are meddling, King William hates you even more, the Royal Society of Göttinghagen fears your existence, and there is no room for you in Baia.
Oh, people not only like to create gods, but also like to drive gods from the altar, and they are always proud of it. "
"Thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have known that I was such an annoying person. My God, my tears were about to fall."
Tu Fu sneered, but he didn't care so much.
Unlike this hapless governor, at least he still has someone he loves by his side, which made him look away from the past.
Steven Ferris stared into his eyes, the eyes of this young genius were still full of embarrassment, not dimmed by his words.
"It's useless to say more, why don't we make a deal, and follow the principle of 'equivalent exchange' you just proposed."
He didn't bother to be polite to Tu Fu anymore, and said in a majestic tone: "You tell me the specific method of resurrecting my wife, and as a condition, I will let you and your partner leave Mogadishu.
And is it generous enough that you can take all the money that was conned out of the Government of Narnia and those rich merchants? "
It has to be said that this is a rather expensive condition.
The one million kroner is almost as fast as the annual fiscal revenue of some countries in the Northern Continent. General Felice took the risk of beheading if he said yes. It can be seen that he is very serious about resurrecting his wife. Big obsession.
After careful consideration, "Witch" Karina did not object, "If you agree, Mr. Capet, then I will be the witness."
"Why not."
As Tu Fu said this, he agreed to his proposal, and without knowing it, he leaned forward again, and he was already quite close to these two people, within reach.
Both sides are prepared for the sudden violent confrontation, especially among the superhumans, they are even more cautious and wary of each other.
"General, it only takes a while to prepare all the materials, and when you activate the formation, you will use your own blood drops in the formation as a medium for soul communication, and everything will be successful."
In theory, such a ritual might actually invite some weird stuff.
Refining the human body is a forbidden technique, not to mention there is a special container for refining and transferring the soul.
Even if it is possible to resurrect Felice's wife, who was summoned from the alchemy circle and died for an unknown period of time,
God knows what it is.
Tu Fu didn't tell Steven Ferris these words. The second looked seriously at the formation with the hexagram pattern on the courtyard floor, and muttered to himself:
"Before that, you need to prepare some materials for equal exchange."
"Is it okay to use the Philosopher's Stone? Its role can replace most of the materials needed for alchemy."
"Witch" Karina raised the bloody blood spar in her hand. This kind of legendary alchemy item obtained by sacrificing life does not know how many people have to die to condense such a sage's stone.
Tu Fu took the thing and glanced at it, then shook his head in disappointment, "My God, even a dog would shake his head when he saw this kind of thing, I really don't know how your teacher usually teaches you, if it's at this level, it's not as good as yours." Let’s commit suicide together, and we can make an appointment with a companion in hell..."
"I'll just say it once, the human body consists of 65% oxygen, 18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium... and trace amounts of fluorine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, and aluminum.
They correspond to fifteen materials including lime, phosphorus, salt, saltpeter, sulfur, fluorine, iron, silicon, etc. "
Tu Fu introduced the more rigorous modern chemistry to them one by one, and it seemed like some kind of terrifying whisper in Karina's ears. She gently covered her head to relieve the pain, and the big white lump on her chest was shaking up and down.
In the past, only when I prayed to the "omniscient sage" and obtained a huge amount of knowledge, would I feel such a headache, feeling that my head might explode at any time.
As for General Phyllis, what he heard was more like another language. When he heard the vast amount of chemical knowledge beyond his grasp with a mortal body, it was fine.
Tu Fu noticed the pain of "Witch" Karina, and he knew the plan had worked.
"Can you... let's talk about the so-called elements...hydrogen...oxygen..."
"Okay, why don't I teach you a basic formula of alchemy, it will be much more convenient to use after you memorize it."
While Tu Fu was speaking, he had secretly condensed his spirituality in his body, but he kept a pleasant expression on his face.
But like a man who can cast a spell, every word he utters is invisibly impacting the inherent order of this world,
"The basic mantra is,
Hydrogen helium lithium beryllium boron, carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon, sodium magnesium aluminum silicon phosphorus, sulfur chloride argon potassium calcium..."
