Decades have passed since Lord Eagles Field proposed the quality of elements and mages started the wave of searching for new elements. Dozens of new elements have been discovered, bringing a lot of feedback from the world. Among the high-level mages here, many rely on the discovery of new elements to advance.
The first person to isolate and determine the properties of a new element will get the most feedback from the world, and then it will quickly decay. Therefore, most of the research on new elements is conducted independently by mages, and at most it is joint research between brothers or husbands and wives. There are rare cases of teamwork.
And Reiner is now looking for new elements in front of so many high-level mages
Is he a madman or a fool
Could it be that he already feels that the world has too much feedback, so he is willing to give it up to others
What's more, searching for new elements not only requires long-term repeated trials, but also requires a lot of luck and experience. Many mages have spent more than ten years in the laboratory, trying to separate brand-new elements from minerals, but in vain, and some people Just go out and climb a mountain and pick up a piece of ore with a new element.
But absolutely no one can find new elements just by talking in a room.
And it’s still in the room where many high-level mages of the elemental and alchemical systems are!
"Linard Ingle, what do you mean, we high-level mages have been sitting here having a meeting all morning, but we have no idea that a brand new element is wandering around us?"
Broly asked, Reiner's attitude made him a little unhappy. Of course, this displeasure may come more from Reiner's camp.
As the vice-president of the Council of Storms, Broly is mostly responsible for the recruitment and training of new people. In recent years, Mercury Scale has attracted a large number of up-and-coming talents through the news that several discoverers of new elements have successfully advanced. Rookie, much to Broly's annoyance.
A newcomer of Reiner's level was directly appointed by Chairman Demetri. Broly deeply felt that he had failed in his duty. Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to see Reiner make a fool of himself to prove that he had not made any mistakes. , of course, these are all subconscious actions, and he himself has no prejudice against Reiner.
"Yes, Your Excellency, in fact, in the real world, even the things we come into contact with daily, we do not necessarily know their true identity. A year ago, water was still called an element. Who knows? Can you imagine that two brand new elements are contained in this?"
Reiner replied cleverly. His words stunned many high-level mages. Indeed, these academic experts have been at the forefront of research for a long time, exploring issues related to the nature of the world, but they ignored the most common things around them. This is very worthy of reflection.
"Then where is the new element you mentioned? Is it in the air?"
Broly's competitive spirit was aroused by Reiner. More importantly, Reiner didn't seem to know his name. The polite address of "Your Excellency" also sounded a bit harsh to Broly.
"The answer is correct, Your Excellency, the new element is in the air."
Reiner smiled, and his words suddenly shocked the high-level mages present.
The world around me seemed to have suddenly become a lot stranger. In that seemingly empty space, there seemed to be endless mysteries being nurtured.
"According to current calculations, the air we know well is actually composed of several gases, including 78% Netron gas, 21% Oakleys gas, and the remaining The lower one percent contains a small amount of carbonic acid gas and water vapor, as well as impurities that are difficult to separate and measure. Our goal is to target these impurities that cannot be accurately measured."
Reiner said that he also had his own considerations in taking this approach.
Due to their extremely inactive properties, the purification of rare gases generally uses refrigerated air separation. Fractionation is carried out through different boiling points of different liquid gases. The low temperatures required for this are not accessible to Reiner.
Of course he considered purifying these gases himself when doing experiments, but after reading relevant research, Reiner found that if he wanted to freeze air into a liquid state, he would have to use at least five rings of elemental magic, and the temperature required for repeated fractionation The precise control ability is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Reiner was lucky to be able to "pick up" the electromagnetic separation magic circle, which is a low-level practical application of mid-level spells. But obviously, it is impossible for him to be so lucky and "pick up" another low-level magic in a short time. Freeze magic.
You must know that according to the evaluation standards for the magic circle designed by Fina's father, at least thirty gold coins or equivalent academic points are required to redeem its use rights, which is a considerable amount of income.
Since I cannot access the relevant spells to extract new elements in a short period of time, and once the paper on the periodic table of elements is published, all mages can rely on the properties of the elements to find new elements. Presumably, these originally vacant elements will soon be available. The position will be filled.
Reiner felt that instead of watching others get new elements, it would be better to simply give them to the high-level mages present as a favor, and maybe he could get feedback from the world.
On the other hand, personally discovering new elements based on the periodic table of elements also has a strong verification effect on this paper, which is enough to prove that the idea of this paper is correct.
"We can use cryogenic fractionation to distinguish different substances in these impurities. In fact, this element of noble gas was discovered from Netren gas. From this, I inferred that this type of gas has extremely unusual properties due to its extremely unusual properties. They are lively and difficult to react with other elements, so they mostly exist in nature as simple substances, and air is their best hiding place.”
After hearing Reiner's words, the mages present exchanged glances, and finally decided that President Demetri and Pluto would join forces to carry out the low temperature and fractionation of air.
Firstly, these two people have the highest rank and status among the high-level mages in the conference room. They have first-class spells, are good at elemental and alchemical magic, and can control temperature more accurately.
Secondly, if a new element is really discovered, it will definitely get feedback from the world, and other mages will naturally not dare to compete with the two of them.
Pluto first constructed the cryogenic magic. He took out the casting materials one by one from his storage bag, and built a magic circle in the center of the round table that was enough to completely freeze and liquefy the air.
President Dmitri collected a small bottle of air and built various arrays needed to measure the elements.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a unique experiment began.
