——I wrote more than 4,000 words, which was more than I expected. I was afraid that everyone would be impatient, so I had to post a draft first and then revise it later.
…………………………………………………………………………
Swan Lake, Rose Manor.
The day's meeting was approaching the second half, and each speaker received applause. After they presented their papers, there were discussions and comments from senior magicians at varying times to help them further improve their research results.
, and also inspired some arcanists. Among them, Larry's research on atomic valence state and definition after lunch was the most enthusiastic and resonant part of the entire meeting.
Since there are many arcanists who need to talk about their research results, the meeting is arranged very tightly. Otherwise, five days would not be able to satisfy their enthusiasm. Therefore, even though it is already past four o'clock in the afternoon, there are still many arcanists waiting in line. Today
The meeting is far from over.
Ulysses, with fair hair, ordinary appearance but strong body, stepped onto the podium, activated the magic circle that displayed the scene, and began to share his research results during this period with other arcanists: while trying to use the five-ring magic "Gas"
The critical temperature of the gas discovered when "Eastern Toxic Mist" was modified into the form of a water arrow, that is, if the temperature exceeds it, the gas cannot be liquefied no matter how much the pressure is increased.
This discovery is quite novel and can effectively guide the improvement of magic structures. Basically all arcanists are interested and listen extremely carefully. Even if Lucien knows this theory, it can be verified by Ulysses.
It is suitable for this different world. At the same time, Lucien is most concerned about how the basic theory is mapped to the details of the magical structure.
At this time, a tawny owl flew in, landed on the table in front of Gaston, and gently pecked the back of Gaston's hand, who was listening intently to Ulysses' speech.
As the famous "postman" of the will of the elements, the magicians and knights guarding the door all knew that he was Matthew of the Gaston Council, so they did not stop him.
Gaston pulled out his hand in a funny way, touched the feathers on Matthew's back, then took down several papers hanging on it and put them aside, preparing to arrange for review after today's meeting is over.
Following Matthew was a budgerigar, which proudly hovered above La Vendi for two weeks before leaving. It also had several papers hanging on its chest.
At the same time, several other birds also flew in, landed in front of the other three members of the Arcane Review Committee, and brought the papers assigned to them, but they were not in a hurry, let alone whether the assignment or review was now
No respect for Ulysses who spoke above. Some papers that require complex experimental demonstrations may take a month or two to be reviewed. There is no need to rush - big shots like them will never allow review
Work should not interfere with your research, magic practice and life, unless it is a very important paper.
As Ulysses explained in depth, the other arcanists became more focused. Only the ninth-level arcanist and the nine-ring magician Laventi were a little leisurely because he was Ulysses' teacher. After this article was approved,
He had read it carefully and had already fully grasped the content.
After listening to nothing for a while, Laventi picked up several papers in front of his pet, flipped through them, and read the paper titles one by one.
Suddenly, an eye-catching title jumped into his eyes: "A new element discovered based on the periodic table of elements and its determination."
The meaning contained in this question made Laventi frown. "Discovered based on the periodic table of elements" means that the periodic table of elements has a guiding role, and what does this mean? As a ninth-level arcanist and a nine-ring magician
, as a big shot who has studied the laws of elements, Laventi knows it very well!
Pulling out the paper, Laventi read it carefully. As he looked, his expression suddenly changed, and the loud voice of Ulysses that came from the podium through the amplification magic circle seemed to completely disappear.
The paper in his hand was turned to the last page, but Laventi's eyes did not move away for a long time. Then he used his strong self-control to keep himself calm, and turned to signal Rebecca, who was in charge of entertaining, to come over.
While Rebecca listened carefully to Ulysses's speech, she was always paying attention to the situation of the arcanists. After being scolded by Leander, she was cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes again.
As soon as her eyes came into contact with Laventi's dark gray eyes, Rebecca straightened her back as if she had been struck by lightning, and then walked towards Laventi anxiously. What do you want, Mr. Vice President?
What happened? Did I make another mistake?
"Find me the paper "On the periodic relationship between the properties of elements and atomic weights and the prediction of some new elements". The author is Lucien Evans X." Lavindi ordered concisely and concisely.
When Rebecca heard this name that seemed to be cursed today, she subconsciously looked at Lucien, who was standing with Lazar in the corner. Could he be X? Did the paper anger Mr. Lavindi? Lavin
Mr. Di’s face is not very good!
A series of questions arose, but at that time there was only one Lucien Evans in the Douglas School of Magic. Rebecca was really not sure whether the distinguishing letter was X, so she could only recall the name of the paper, which sounded somewhat familiar.
"Mr. Laventi, this paper is on the last few pages of the journal "Elements" in your hand." Soon, Rebecca said suddenly, with a little joy in her tone that Mr. Laventi could complete it so smoothly and simply.
Your request will definitely be praised and can make up for your previous mistakes.
Fortunately, the title of this paper is long enough that you can leave an impression by browsing it casually when you distribute the paper.
Upon hearing this, Laventi opened the "Elements" journal directly to the last article without losing his grace, and muttered in his mouth: "The review arcanists of the "Elements" journal are not always stupid."
This was a saying of praise from the Lord of Storms. When Laventi was in a turbulent mood, he failed to maintain his self-control and imitated him, although his self-control was only slightly better than that of the Lord of Storms.
Without getting the words from Vice President Laventi to leave, Rebecca continued to stand beside him, and then peeked at his face and the paper in his hand with strong curiosity. Why did the Vice President suddenly want to find this paper?
, is there anything weird or important about it?
Not daring to look too obviously, Rebecca could not clearly see the main content of the paper, but she was surprised to find that Mr. Laventi's face became extremely solemn. This made her panic and fearful. Could something big happen about to happen?
"If you don't consider the atomic weights of the elements for which experimental data have not been given..." Laventi muttered to himself, then quickly turned to Rebecca and said: "Give me these elements that I am going to purify..."
These are the few that are temporarily lacking in his alchemy cabin.
After that, he spoke a little faster and told the budgerigar "Harry": "Go to Odonko to buy a few pieces of amphibole, which is the grandson of the grizzly bear, and come back as soon as possible. Harry, you can't be lazy.
.”
"Do I look like a lazy gentleman?" Harry muttered dissatisfiedly, his voice was clear and melodious, and then he spread his wings and flew away.
Although Rebecca did not understand Laventi's request, she had to abide by His Excellency the Vice-President's instructions. After telling other low-level magicians to pay attention to the situation at the venue, she hurried to the second floor of the main building of the manor.
The other arcanists were all listening intently to Ulysses's speech, and they didn't notice what was going on here, because things like asking the low-level magicians next to them to get some white paper and a cup of black tea appeared from time to time.
…………
Ulysses ended his speech and then had an in-depth discussion with the arcanists who asked questions. When he left the podium, warm applause rang out without exception. Most of the arcanists felt that they had gained a lot just now.
,
The applause slowly subsided, Ulysses bowed again, and Leandro looked around at the arcanist sitting below, preparing to invite the next speaker.
But suddenly, he saw the Vice President standing up without warning and walking up to the half-height metal platform with a slightly hurried pace.
All the arcanists cast their surprised eyes on Laventi, wondering why he would do this. Could it be that something big happened? Or was Mr. Laventi inspired by the thesis speech he just gave?
How could Leander have the courage to stop a nine-ring magician with many prominent identities? He watched helplessly as Laventi stood behind the podium, opened the scene magic circle, took out his alchemy hut from the space storage bag, and zoomed in
It has become an exquisite and complete magic laboratory.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to disrupt the arrangements of the venue." Laventi tried hard to make his voice less excited. After all, he still needs to conduct experiments to verify it. "Please turn to the journal "Elements" in your hands.
The last paper."
The puzzled arcanists opened the "Elements" journal one after another. Only Igna, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His hands were trembling and his heart was beating violently. Did the Vice President want to scold himself for submitting a paper that was not of a good standard?
Is it necessary to be included in a journal in such a formal and grand manner?!
The title "On the periodic relationship between the properties of elements and atomic weights and the prediction of some new elements" jumped into the eyes of the arcanists. Both Larry and Timothy frowned slightly because this was the paper they were reviewing.
What is Mr. Wendi going to do if he proposes it alone?
The author's name and arcanist level also reminded Larry, and he looked back at Lucien: "Is it his paper? Does he think his paper is valuable enough to be invited to the annual conference?"
Lucien looked at Laventi in confusion. What happened? Did Mr. Laventi discover a paper that could fill in the periodic table of elements?
A sense of anticipation suddenly emerged in my heart.
"Mr. Laventi, this periodic table of elements is very interesting, and the regularity is very obvious, but the error in the atomic weight he predicted is a bit unconvincing." After watching quietly for a while, another member of the Arcane Review Committee, Eight Rings
The arcanist and the eighth-ring magician Locklini was the first to question. The other arcanists all had similar expressions.
Seeing that everyone had basically browsed the paper, Laventi amplified his voice: "Please skip some elements such as Temerik first, and let us look at the back."
As he spoke, he took out the purified elements, opened the alchemy array in his magic laboratory, purified them again, and then measured the data one by one in front of everyone.
Although Timothy and other arcanists were confused, Laventi was an authoritative gentleman, so they quietly watched his live experiment.
Each atomic weight data was corrected by several new methods. The four members of the Arcane Review Committee, including Gaston, Ofri, Locklini, and Lydia, began to look solemnly. They picked up their quills and recorded something, other magic.
The teacher also clearly showed his shock. It is not surprising that the atomic weight is wrong, but it is incredible that the correct atomic weight after correction can perfectly fill in the periodic table of elements.
Larry and Timothy rubbed their foreheads at the same time. They should verify the following data first. Where can they find the magic ore described now to satisfy their strong curiosity, expectation and shaking emotions that seem to explode.
Ulysses looked at the periodic table of elements, as if in a daze. What he had given up three weeks ago because of his discovery of the critical temperature of gases seemed so unfamiliar.
As the forty-minute experiment of the Archmage Laventi ended, most arcanists began to pay attention to the paper in their hands, but they were also conflicted and confused. Ulysses was the first to speak: "Raven
Mr. Di, the correction of these atomic weights is not conclusive evidence, because the atomic weights in the previous part are difficult to explain."
"Why isn't it difficult to measure accurately with our existing methods?" Laventi said his reason.
Ofori shook his head: "This can only be a hypothesis. There is currently no data to prove that Laventi is correct."
In arcane research, it is difficult to convince most arcane masters without conclusive evidence.
After seeing that abhorrent name, Leandro inevitably left a negative impression in his heart. At this time, he also interjected: "Mr. Laventi, this is just a fairy tale conjecture of a first-level arcanist."
Just as Laventi was about to express his point of view, a budgerigar "Harry" flew out of the manor with a magic vessel hanging on his body.
Laventi laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's start a wonderful experiment."
After taking off the magic vessel with several pieces of amphibole ore inside, Laventi used the most convenient method to separate the substance as described in Woods's paper, unlike Woods who separated it after several attempts to avoid wasting time.
After the substance was separated, Laventi said to all the arcanists: "This is a magic mineral with characteristics similar to those described in the "Periodic Table of Elements" paper."
Gaston, Locklini, Gary, Jurisse and all the arcanists vaguely guessed what would happen. They held their breath and watched with excitement as Laventi put the separated matter into the spectrometer.
Inside the mirror.
At this time, the early nights of winter have made the outside dim and blurry, and the beautiful spectrum of light is clearly displayed in the eyes of every arcanist.
That unprecedented spectral line was like a fire burning their eyes and hearts. It was really a new element!
Laventi said nothing more and opened the corresponding magic circle to purify new elements.
With the guidance of the correct method, Laventi quickly extracted the silver-white crystal in a quiet and depressing hall.
The night outside was pitch dark, and the atmosphere in the hall was tense and tense.
Laventi began to measure the atomic weight of the new element, and the magic circles opened one by one, as if bright lights shone into the hearts of every arcanist.
"The atomic weight of the new element is 69.8." Laventi said seriously, he had great confidence in the correctness of the paper.
The arcanists all lowered their heads and looked at the corresponding column of the paper.
"The atomic weight of this aluminum-like element is 68 to 70."
Bang, it was as if lightning broke out in their minds, and then Raven's first data and property determinations one after another seemed to echo in their hearts like continuous thunder.
What does this mean? How could Larry and other elemental field arcanists who are qualified to participate in the annual conference not think of it!
They were feeling hot all over, as if their blood was boiling, and they couldn't calm down and say anything.
Larry knocked on the podium to calm the arcanists a little.
He said in an almost roaring voice:
"I think there is no need to describe the great significance of this paper!"
