Most people know about alchemy.
The most fundamental content of alchemy is to find a way to turn lead into gold. Since ancient times, countless people have been obsessed with it, both in the East and the West.
Why did people at that time want to turn lead into gold
The reason is very simple. Lead is very cheap and gold is very expensive. However, lead and gold have similar properties in many aspects. The only obvious difference is the color - lead is blue-gray and gold is yellow.
Some people think that if they find a way to add the property of "yellow color" to lead, will the lead turn into gold, and can they make a fortune
How to add "yellow color"
The color of brass is relatively close, try adding some copper.
The color of sulfur is relatively close. Try soaking it in sulfur water.
Moreover…
In this way, countless people have been searching hard and studying for hundreds and thousands of years without success.
Why didn't it succeed
Because the researchers simply don’t know that the reason why lead is lead and the reason why gold is gold lies in their different atomic compositions. Unless the atomic structure of lead is fundamentally changed, lead will never become gold.
If you are in the wrong direction, the harder you work, the further away you will be from success.
Because I didn’t know the most basic atomic composition, even though alchemy later developed from simple alchemy to trying to create panacea, the philosopher’s stone, and artificial humans, which looked extremely amazing, but there was no result. It just stayed in place. Spin.
As time progressed, the basics of chemistry began to be studied. First, Dalton proposed the atomic theory, then Mendeleev established the periodic table of elements. Finally, alchemy evolved into modern chemistry and began to develop rapidly.
In development, the entire world is changing because of chemistry.
From the plastic products used in daily life to the alloy materials required for space satellites, it affects everyone in an all-round way.
In particular, the development of the synthetic ammonia chemical industry has led to the mass production of chemical fertilizers and increased food production several times. This will enable us to support a large population and liberate a large labor force, leaving more and more resources to devote to science, a cause that has no short-term benefits.
It can be said that the advancement of the earth is possible only because of modern chemistry.
The current world, in comparison, is a bit too backward.
Originating from extraordinary power, they are still wandering in the primitive chemical field of "alchemy" and have not been exposed to the door of "modern chemistry" at all. Therefore, even if they have extraordinary power, most of them are doing useless work.
From this point of view, the first law of transcendence is extremely important, like a key that opens the door to a whole new world.
With the extraordinary first law, the current world can find the correct way to open it.
Looking at the current state of the world, it is a joke that a powerful wizard travels a long distance and rides a carriage like ordinary people. Wouldn't it be nice to think of a way to use extraordinary materials to create the legendary floating boats and floating cities
Wizards also need to eat food like ordinary people to meet energy consumption. Wouldn't it be more convenient to find ways to create extraordinary food, or even install an energy furnace on the wizard's body
The labor force is extremely scarce and productivity is extremely backward. Most of the population is engaged in agriculture, and they can barely support a small number of nobles and wizards by working all year round. Would it be more conducive to the development of the world to find a way to develop an extraordinary power source and use magic to operate a large number of magic puppets instead of manpower
There is also combat. No matter how powerful the wizard is, conflicts are resolved through individual battles, with at most a few spells and props to assist. Find a way to create a wizard firearm based on spells. When a bullet is fired, it is a spell release. If one magazine is empty, all the spells recorded in the wizard's book can be released. Will it make things easier
In Richard's view, only when all aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation are developed, can the world truly become advanced.
Of course, the idea is good, but the difficulty is a bit high.
Realizing these is equivalent to combining technology with extraordinary things to create a complete extraordinary modern chemical industry.
Richard pursed his lips slightly.
To be honest, he didn't expect to accomplish this on his own.
Although he was very confident in himself, he still wasn't confident to this extent.
Modern chemistry on earth is the result of the joint efforts of countless scientists, researchers, and industry professionals. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for one person to replace them all.
If you want to completely change the world, you will ultimately need to mobilize the power of the masses, and you will need a huge organization and a great country to achieve this.
This can't be done in a hurry, and he's not in a rush to do it.
His purpose is to find out the truth about the world, not to benefit the whole world, so before changing the world, he can do one thing that he can accomplish first, which is to complete the foundation work of "extraordinary modern chemistry".
To put it simply, it is to understand as much as possible the types, properties and many other attributes of all extraordinary factors.
Understanding these is like laying a solid foundation. Only then will the building of "extraordinary modern chemistry" be able to rise from the ground in a short period of time.
In other words, what he wants to do is become the Mendeleev of the current world.
The proposition of the extraordinary first law is the key to the door to the new world, and what he has to do is to completely master this key and master the ability to completely change the entire world.
When he completes this foundation work, the highest level of knowledge in the entire world will be in his hands.
Knowledge is power, and he will be the strongest person then.
To give an example, in a sense, everything has shortcomings. Solid objects can break like glass at low temperatures. Grease with strong adhesion can be easily removed by cleaning with organic solvents.
As long as the response is reasonable, nothing is invincible.
These are considered knowledge that he knew on earth. What he doesn't know is a series of knowledge related to the current world and the extraordinary. Therefore, he will always be frustrated when fighting some people from the Truth Society.
But if he waits until he has figured out and deduced all the extraordinary knowledge, it will be different. All battles will become as simple as multiple-choice questions.
If there is an enemy who is extremely powerful, like Rommel, well, pull out the molecular disintegration magic energy cannon.
There are enemies that are very fast, just like the colorful rings before. Well, load them with magic nuclear-powered tracking shells.
If there are enemies running away, well, turn on the prophecy spell scanning radar...
Use knowledge to deal with it, identify the shortcomings, and you can kill them with one strike.
As long as it is within the scope of knowledge, everything can be dealt with. If you can't cope with it, it means it is beyond the scope of knowledge and you need to continue learning.
Omniscient means omnipotent, and if you learn to the end, you will be invincible.
"Hoo-ho-"
Richard took a deep breath and his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He knew very well that it would not be easy to accomplish this.
Mendeleev on earth was able to create the periodic table of chemical elements. It was not the efforts of one person. Many of them were compiled and summarized by previous generations of information and knowledge.
And if he wants to create a periodic table of extraordinary factors, he cannot do it alone. He also needs to draw on the data and knowledge of his predecessors, or to be precise, many spells.
Each spell is equivalent to an extraordinary factor reaction equation. If you master enough spells, you can deduce the properties of an extraordinary factor. Especially those with great power and ancient inheritance are very important for analyzing the nature of extraordinary factors.
All in all, in short, what he has to do next is to try to collect spells from all over the world for research.
Every spell he successfully collects will make him stronger, will become a part of his power to leverage the world in the future, and will bring him one step closer to his ultimate goal - to find out the truth about the world.
The road ahead has been clearly shown in front of him.
This road is the result of nearly a year of hard work to create nuclear weapons and collecting data at great cost.
As for how this road will go and how it will go, we have to wait and see for him.
“Take a walk and see for yourself…”
Richard murmured, walking slowly to the window of the hotel room, looking at the night outside, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he saw an extremely bright light in the dense darkness.
