When Camer Strell returned home after today's experiment, his wife had already made toast and mushroom soup, and filled him with a glass of white wine.
The latter two are goods sold in the convenience market, especially this white and huge mushroom, just like the introduction on the signboard: you can't find anything more delicious than this, and he found it after tasting it. indeed so. It's hard to forget the full and unique taste once you take one slice.
Of course, its price is also very astonishing. A slap-sized flower needs a silver wolf. If it weren't for the generous salary, Kaimo would not be willing to buy such expensive food. There are many things like this, such as soap and mirrors. As long as you have money, life in a small town is far more comfortable than that of ordinary nobles.
Roland is simply unfathomable, and this is what he feels the most.
After dinner, my wife handed me a letter.
"This is?"
"It was sent by the guards in the afternoon, and you hadn't come back yet," said his wife while packing up the tableware. "According to him, it seems to have come from Chishui City."
"Really?" Kaimo walked into the study, opened the seal with a knife, took out the letter and spread it out.
The first sentence at the beginning is actually hello, respected teacher.
This is the letter from Chamis, he couldn't help smiling, sitting at the desk and studying it carefully.
It turned out that after he left the Alchemy Workshop in Chishui City, another alchemist, Capola, became the new chief. But this man was narrow-minded, and after obtaining the crystal glass formula left by Kemo, he not only declared to the lord that it was the work of both him and Kemo, but also excluded Chames in the alchemy experiment intentionally or unintentionally.
He complained in the letter, perhaps because he borrowed Capola's apprentice when he was exploring the double-stone acid method, but he did not inform the other party of the results in advance. Now several other alchemists seem to be avoiding him consciously or not, which makes Chamis very troubled.
Kemo can probably understand the thoughts of these people. As the youngest alchemist in the refining room, many people think that Chames stands out from the many disciples only by luck and his own appreciation. But the chief alchemist scoffed at this view. Saltpeter and green vitriol are common things. Why Chamis discovered the double-stone acid method and not others is enough to explain the problem. Observation, memory, bold conjectures and careful experimentation were all indispensable, and this young man was even more gifted than himself.
At the end, Chalmers also attached two alchemy formulas to the letter, saying that they were new discoveries in the recent study of two acids, which he shared with his mentor. And Kaimo could see at a glance that the essence of the two formulas was nothing but the neutralization reaction of acid and base to form salts, and he could write more than a dozen such formulas in one go.
With a sigh, Kaimer Strell put down the letter and moved his gaze to the book "Elementary Chemistry" that had been flipped over several times on the table.
It was this "ancient book" that His Highness handed over to him that changed everything. If it weren't for it, I am afraid that I would still be like Chames, still rummaging through the surface soil in chaos and confusion, and regard it as a treasure.
He took the book and turned straight to the last page.
It was a table neatly divided into a hundred or so squares.
Every time he sees this form, he can't help but get goosebumps and feel indescribable reverence... and fear.
The upper left corner of the grid is marked with a small serial number, and there are a total of 118 at the end. Except for the first two rows, most of the grids are blank, but there are some symbols in the middle. For example, No. 26: Iron, No. 29: Bronze.
The name of the table is "Periodic Table of Elements".
The chief alchemist once held the book tremblingly and asked Roland about the content of the blank space, but the answer he got was that it was originally filled, but he really couldn't remember it.
If the other party is not His Royal Highness, what he wants to do most is to slap the whole book on the other party's face.
According to the records in the book, this table has included all the elements in the world. If there is a canon of alchemy, it is undoubtedly the most dazzling chapter in the canon. And what terrified him was, what kind of person could draw such a chart? If they have already achieved this point, what is alchemy? It's just a castle built by a group of children in the mud and sand.
Kaimo suddenly remembered His Highness's promise. If he could call Chamis too, and bring in a group of apprentices who were too late to take away last time, there might be hope to fill the three new laboratories. In this way, the coveted "Moderate Chemistry" can also be obtained.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a blank piece of paper and began to write a reply.
In fact, His Royal Highness asked him at the meeting if he had any clues about the large-scale acid production, but he did not tell the truth, because the content was complicated and lengthy, and it was a waste of time to talk. The most important thing is that he doesn't know whether this plan will work, after all, the preparation method he envisages is completely made up based on the elements and reaction principles in the book.
Compared with the previous alchemy experiments, this hypothesis is even a bit like a child's raving about using never-before-seen substances and unheard-of reaction methods to produce something that seems to have nothing to do with the raw materials, only Because they have the same element.
But Kemer Strell had a hunch in his heart that this method might work!
After all, the hundreds of permutation experiments in the past have all proved the correctness of the content of this book.
With the preliminary plan, the next step is to complete a full set of theoretical experiments in the laboratory, because His Highness said that the process of products that can be produced on a large scale by industrial methods can also be reproduced in the laboratory.
The letter was quickly written, and he did not try to comfort Charles too much, but bluntly told the former eldest disciple that alchemy was knowable, measurable, and obtainable. Kemo believes that any wise person who is interested in alchemy will not miss such an opportunity to witness the truth.
Fold the letter paper and put it in the envelope, then apply the sealing wax, and then just wait until tomorrow to hand it over to the merchant who is willing to deliver the letter.
After doing all this, his eyes moved to the periodic table again.
If the blanks on the watch are not filled, Kaimo will only feel that his future life will be boring. Fortunately, His Highness Roland's last words made his heart surge, and those words still linger in his ears.
Don't put on that look, every element on the periodic table is laid out in a regular pattern, and you can fill it all on your own.
Regularity... Arrangement? Do you mean that unknown elements can also be derived, just like alchemical formulas are derived
Yes, even if you have never seen them, you can describe their appearance and characteristics.
So... what is this rule
you want to know? It's all in Intermediate Chemistry. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
