In this description, there is no mention of gas being produced during the burning process. So what is this gas that can extinguish the flame, and where does it come from
Of course, Reiner could tell Charlotte that the gas was carbon dioxide and limestone, which is a compound produced by the reaction between the carbon element in calcium carbonate and the oxygen in the air. But if he said it directly, they would not believe it, and Reiner would not believe it either. More evidence is needed to prove that the carbon dioxide in this world is the same substance as on Earth.
"Why don't we go to the laboratory and replicate this experiment?"
Reiner made this suggestion, causing Charlotte to open her eyes slightly. She originally thought that Reiner just wanted to confront Teacher Claire, but she didn't expect that the principal actually believed in her, which made the girl feel a little bit Incredible.
"experiment?"
Teacher Claire was obviously even more surprised. She looked up and down at Reiner like she was looking at a madman, and then spoke to confirm.
"The experiment you are talking about is an alchemy experiment?"
She didn't even know if Reiner knew the meaning of the word experiment. In Teacher Claire's impression since she was a child, nobles were unlearned and unskilled, especially when she was five years old and was raped by an unknown boy. After the nobles bullied and cried several times, this impression became deeply ingrained and could no longer be changed.
"Of course, Teacher Claire, what do you think I said?"
Reiner's attitude was natural, which made Teacher Claire feel a little unhappy, as if he was the uneducated one.
"We will completely reproduce the experiment described by Xia Luo. If we can get the same results, does it mean that her conclusion is reasonable?"
"Impossible. If the fire element combustion theory is wrong, then all alchemy papers will have to be rewritten in the past three hundred years. But we have accomplished so many great achievements on this basis. Do you want to deny those great mages? Contribution?”
Teacher Claire's tough attitude gave Reiner a headache.
This guy is too stubborn.
Reiner thought for a while, I'm afraid such a stubborn guy wouldn't be able to do it head-on, so he would have to take a detour.
"Teacher Claire, are you afraid that Charlotte will prove that your conclusion is correct?"
He used the aggressive technique, which made Teacher Claire jump up immediately.
"Who said that? I won't be afraid. The people standing behind me are three hundred years of alchemy masters!"
Outstanding effect.
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Teacher Claire knew that she had been plotted by Reiner, but on second thought, she felt that this was an opportunity to punish the unreliable principal, so she said.
"But if it turns out later that the fire element theory is correct, you will have to pay the price."
"Uh, sure, what do you want me to do?"
Reiner didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward, so he was stunned before asking.
"Well, why not... put on a skirt and run around the square ten times during next week's morning meeting!"
Teacher Claire thought for a moment and then said, but the content surprised Reiner.
