night.
The sky is full of stars, shining brightly.
Gro was sitting on the bed in the bedroom. He had driven away all the maids and guards in the room. He was looking straight at an hourglass on the table next to him, as if he was possessed.
"Shashasha..."
The fine sand flowed down quickly, and Gro's eyes didn't blink for several minutes, and they were bloodshot.
finally…
"Sand... Sharala...", all the sand above the hourglass is flowing, and the most suitable time for meditation has arrived.
"Huh", Gro took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, first picked up the magical potion dihydrogen monoxide given by Richard, took a sip, and drank about one-third of the dose. Then he opened the bottle of ether and sniffed it vigorously.
After doing this, he sealed the two potion bottles and placed them firmly. As soon as his body relaxed, Gro lay down on the soft velvet bed, closed his eyes and began to meditate. Of course, to the outside world, it looks more like a corpse.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Grot felt his body vibrating and his conscious body separated. He was trying to leave his body, but the restraint of his body was very strong and it was difficult to get rid of it.
Just when Gro was feeling anxious, he felt as if some force from the outside world was approaching. Before he could react, he felt his conscious body being grabbed by an outside force and pulled quickly out of his body.
With a "pop" sound, Gro felt as if he heard something. His entire conscious body successfully separated from his physical body. He felt a sudden lightness and felt extremely comfortable.
Grotto tentatively looked around, but couldn't see anything. This was normal. In fact, he could hardly sense anything except the energy elements existing far away around him. In addition to returning to the physical body, he can hardly control his conscious body to do anything. At most, he can control the shaking of his conscious body within a very small range. Generally speaking, the closer you are to an energy element through shaking, the easier it is to ingest the free energy element.
Today, it seems that due to the use of medicine, the shaking range is much larger than yesterday, which means that he can absorb more free energy elements.
It seems that the dihydrogen monoxide agent is indeed magical.
Gro thought, and began to meditate with all his strength. At the same time, another conscious body shook his head slightly and quickly left the room.
…
In the courtyard where Richard lives in Cuijin City, in the study.
Richard, who was sitting on the chair, opened his eyes.
"Huh", Richard exhaled a breath and stood up. After moving his body, he turned around and walked out of the study, heading towards the laboratory on the side. Start preparations to detect so-called free energy elements to prove whether the previous conjecture is correct.
In the laboratory, there is a long black wooden table in the middle, with numerous instruments placed on it. Surrounding the wooden table and close to the wall are multiple wooden shelves and cabinets, which contain numerous medicine bottles and experimental materials for various purposes.
Richard walked to the experimental table, first took out the cobalt blue glass and put it away, then found hydrochloric acid, deionized water, platinum coils, and finally took out an alcohol blowtorch.
Generally speaking, for flame color experiments, it is best to use a Bunsen burner. The flame temperature can reach 1500 degrees Celsius, and the effect is obvious. However, the Bunsen burner invented by the German scientist "Bunsen" in the 19th century on modern earth requires the use of petroleum gas or coal gas as fuel, which is a bit troublesome. Richard finally chose an alcohol blowtorch modified from an alcohol lamp.
The flame of the alcohol blowtorch is much higher than the flame of the alcohol lamp, which is about 400 degrees Celsius. It can reach about 1000 degrees Celsius. Although it is lower than the Bunsen burner, it is enough.
After preparing all the experimental equipment, Richard began to officially conduct the experiment.
Holding the platinum coil in his hand, he immersed it in hydrochloric acid and saw bubbles emerging from the surface of the platinum coil until they disappeared. Richard knew that the debris on the platinum coil had been removed.
Richard brought the alcohol blowtorch to his eyes and lit it, then took out the platinum coil from the hydrochloric acid and sent it towards the flame of the alcohol blowtorch.
The platinum coil that had just been taken out was still stained with hydrochloric acid. As soon as it touched the high-temperature flame of the alcohol blowtorch, it immediately made a "sting" sound. The liquid quickly evaporated, and then gave off a faint pungent smell. Richard ignored this and just stared at the flame. After there was no color change, he removed the coil, rinsed it with deionized water, and let it dry naturally.
At this point, the first step of the experiment is completed, and the next step is the most important and simplest step.
Holding the platinum coil, he stretched out towards the flame of the alcohol blowtorch again. At the same time, Richard controlled a free energy element specially reserved in his body that had not been smelted to flow out from his fingertips and follow the handle of the coil in his hand. The part of the coil that is in the flame.
Visible to the naked eye, the color of the alcohol blowtorch begins to change. At this time, it is no longer the flame color of the alcohol blowtorch, but the flame color of free energy elements.
This is exactly the flame reaction.
Flames have color, and part of it is the temperature that plays a role, so there is a saying that it is perfect, but part of it is the elements it contains.
The reason why fireworks flames are colorful is that many different metal elements are added to them: adding metallic potassium can display light purple; adding metallic sodium can display golden yellow; adding metallic lead can display blue-white...
This principle of flame color reaction is called electronic transition.
This is because when certain elements are burned in a flame, the electrons outside the nucleus absorb a certain amount of energy and transition from the ground state to an excited state with higher energy. After the transition, when the excited state electrons return to the ground state, excess energy will be released in the form of spectral lines of a certain wavelength, causing the flame to show a special color.
The flame color seen in the experiment of flame color reaction is the color of the spectral line. The spectral line of each element is special, and the color it emits is also special. Therefore, the presence of a certain element can be judged based on the color of the flame. For example, a magenta flame represents the presence of strontium, a jade-green flame represents the presence of copper, and a yellow flame represents the presence of sodium.
Through this experiment, if an element is discovered that has a different flame color and spectral line from all known elements, then it is naturally a new element.
Richard was not sure whether the flame color experiment would work on the suspected super-heavy nuclear stabilizing island element, but he had to at least give it a try. After all, according to theory, the internal electrons of elements in the superheavy nuclear stability island have exceeded the speed of light and have relativistic effects. And let the wave function of Dirac's ground state become a wave state, producing a series of magical effects.
That being the case, what else is impossible
Richard thought this way and cast his gaze towards the flame of the alcohol blowtorch.
The next moment, what appeared in Richard's sight was a bright red, blood-like flame. This was not the flame color of any known element, but it was the same color as the light spot that absorbed the free energy element. .
Red, high energy reaction, is this the fire element of the so-called fire spell
Richard thought.
With his eyes flashing, Richard picked up the cobalt blue glass that took nearly a day to make and prepared to use it.
The main purpose of using cobalt blue glass is to filter out the influence of the flame color of some possible impurity elements. For example, the golden yellow color of sodium ions can easily overshadow the colors of other elements and cause misjudgment.
Through the cobalt blue glass, Richard looked at the flame of the alcohol blowtorch again. This time he saw a much lighter crimson color, but it was still an elemental color that had never existed before.
"As expected..." Richard said to himself.
It is undeniable that this experimental study cannot prove much.
Because it is impossible to store too many free energy elements of various types in the magic source, many flame color experiments are needed to test the hypothesis. In addition, in order to ensure accuracy, in addition to the flame color test, some other means must be used to detect the properties of elements.
This is a long term job.
But no matter what, in Richard's opinion, at least there is a good start, which at least shows that the research direction is not wrong.
Then everything after that is just a matter of time.
"Time..." Richard said to himself again.
