After years of exploration in the wizarding land, they have found a total of forty-nine basic elements, and have developed thousands of magics based on them, creating a golden age of magic!
Aurora then followed up Vittorio's words and talked about the composition and application of compound elements, as well as the laws of magical reactions between the elements...
After saying this, the two of them looked at the legends of the [Arcane Society] together.
Lin En was listening to the two people's explanation of elementology as Bohr. Seeing Vittorio and Aurora pause after explaining some basics, he couldn't help but say, "That's it? What else?"
Vittorio frowned and began to speak. "That's about all the research on elements in the wizarding land at the moment. It seems like you have more insights?"
"Of course, I think your understanding of elements is too superficial!" Bohr shook his head and sighed.
Having been in the wizard land for more than two years, he had a general understanding of the wizards' magical theories, which was about the level of a junior high school student in his previous life. He might not even know as much as a junior high school student...
It was just that Lin En had heard that the elemental master [Altok] had tried to advance into a more microscopic realm, so he tentatively asked Aurora and the others how much they knew about this.
The result disappointed him...
But think about it, this is normal. They are all standing on the shoulders of giants, and every theorem and formula they have learned is the result of life-long research and summary by the masters of physics and chemistry.
Wizards, on the other hand, need to deduce from scratch.
Although magic itself provides a lot of convenience, it may also be a blind spot, leading to many years of hesitation in a certain field.
Bohr's provocative words made Aurora narrow her eyes, and Vittorio also had a look of displeasure on his face, but before they could get angry, they heard the other party continue to speak.
"In addition to the most basic chemical properties, I think the weight, density, melting point, boiling point, molecular weight, periodicity, etc. of elements are all very worthy of study..."
Bohr said a lot of things casually, and Vittorio felt overwhelmed and couldn't help but interrupt him. "Wait, let's not talk about molecular weight and period for now, but how should density and weight be calculated?"
The size of the elements is extremely small, so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, and they are constantly moving. Where can they find such a small ruler and scale to measure this thing accurately?
Moreover, elements like hydrogen will produce upward buoyancy in the air, so weighing them is completely impossible. It is impossible to calculate negative weight, right?
Vittorio showed a mocking look on his face. The so-called weighing was simply a fantasy!
"Is it impossible for us to evaluate the weight and volume of an object without a ruler and a scale?" Bohr said with a smile.
How else can we calculate it? Vittorio was quite dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but he was stunned the next moment, because he suddenly remembered that when they calculated the weight of the planet, they didn't use scales!
The two are exactly opposite in nature, one is extremely large and the other is extremely small...
"What do you mean?" Harov immediately thought of a possibility and looked at Bohr in astonishment.
The latter did not reply, but wrote a string of numbers in the air with his hand.
【6.67×10^－11L·m^2/kg^2！】
"How about using this as a ruler?" Bohr said playfully.
"Is this... the gravitational constant?"
The people present noticed it immediately. When Lin En calculated the gravitational constant, Harof and Aurora were present, so they were naturally impressed by this thing.
"You mean, using space-time as the curtain and a fixed gravitational constant as the ruler..." Harov was the first to react.
"Yes, I have also heard about the experiments that Master Lin En did in the wizard land. I have to say they are very exciting!" Bohr said with appreciation.
"As we all know, the mass of an object will affect space and time. This value can be calculated using the universal gravitational formula, and the gravitational constant cannot be changed, so it is the best ruler!"
"Although the disturbance of a single atom to space is very small and difficult to measure accurately, we can create a vacuum field to gather the single elements together, and then use the micro-deformation amplification method to amplify their disturbance to space. Finally, when calculating, we can remove this multiple and estimate the mass of the element in reverse!"
This method is not copied from others, but was thought up by Lin En based on the characteristics of wizards.
After all, the scientific and technological school that I followed in my previous life did not have such a good method of space perception and atomic manipulation, so the atomic mass was calculated using Newton's second law of motion - F=ma to calculate the direction.
a is the acceleration of an object with mass m when it is acted upon by force F, so we just need to transform the formula to get that mass m is equal to force F divided by acceleration a!
Of course, since atoms are so small, a mass spectrometer is needed...
He can't get that thing out in a short time, but fortunately, wizards naturally have their own methods!
They have the ability to control atoms and sense space, which is a unique advantage in the direction of "magic research" and they must naturally make use of it!
There are problems, too. For example, multiple atoms can interfere with each other, affecting the measurement results. Fortunately, they can slowly find this ratio by adjusting the number of atoms, thereby minimizing the interference...
"What a great idea!" Vittorio was completely convinced. He admired the imagination of these wizards from the [Mystical Society].
When calculating the circumference of the planet before, the simplest triangle formula - the Pythagorean theorem was used for calculation, but this time it was the gravitational constant!
Chapter 380: Ranking all elements - the periodic table!
Aurora and Harrov, like Vittorio, were immersed in this ingenious atomic mass measurement experiment.
They don't know how small the elements are, because there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of water elements in a drop of water. Water elements are composed of two basic elements, hydrogen and oxygen. They can only be described as incredibly small!
If it weren't for the ability to use magic to perceive, many wizards would probably doubt whether elements even exist.
It is almost impossible to calculate the volume and weight of such a tiny element, but Bohr turned the impossible into possible!
Previously, when Lin En was calculating the constant, he used a similar experiment. He used light to amplify the imperceptible gravitational interference between the two iron balls, and thus calculated it accurately!
This is totally doable!
While several people were still sighing, Isaac Newton on the side said impatiently.
"Isn't that what you want to say today? Bohr, there's no need to talk about these superficial things anymore!"
Shallow... Vittorio's face became very strange, but he had no way to refute, because they had not even figured out these shallow things!
Vittorio couldn't help but echo in his mind the words someone had said when he first arrived in the wizard's land.
[The magic theory of the wizarding land is outdated! ]
Vittorio and Aurora looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Harov shook his head. He had said long ago that they must be careful in what they say and do here, so as not to expose their lack of knowledge...
Feeling helpless, the three of them looked at Bohr, very curious about the other party's purpose in summoning them.
"Of course I have more to say!" Bohr followed up on Isaac's words and said rather arrogantly, "In fact, I am preparing to rank all the atoms!"
Bohr snapped his fingers, and a huge table appeared in front of everyone.
The table was arranged horizontally and vertically, but there were no numbers or symbols filled in on it. It was just an empty table.
"I haven't finished this table yet because it's still missing a few key factors that may affect their ranking order, so I hope you can help me improve it!" Bohr said sincerely.
"Mr. Bohr, don't you have a clear understanding of the elements?" Vittorio asked in confusion.
Since the other party can even calculate the mass of the elements, the volume should be no exception. Add to that the so-called density, molecular weight and the like, and it's like turning the elements upside down!
"No one dares to say that he understands everything about atoms, and I am no exception!" Bohr shook his head and sighed.
"Although I have done some superficial research on atoms, there is still one thing I haven't fully understood, and that is the structure of atoms!"
"Structure? Do you mean the shape of the elements?" Aurora suddenly asked.
"No, it's the internal structure!" Bohr said emphatically. "I think atoms are divisible!"
Bohr's words are undoubtedly a challenge to the mainstream magical theory in the wizarding land, because every wizard will be told when performing magic that elements are the most fundamental substances that make up the entire world!
The argument that elements are indivisible has been proven through experiments time and time again!
Even under high temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees and colliding with each other, the elements themselves remain as solid as a mountain!
The same is true when cutting materials. The sharp weapon penetrates through but the elements inside remain intact. [Element Master] Artok has even concluded that elements repel each other and have a minimum distance between them.
Some wizards even believe that elements are the hardest substances in the world and cannot be destroyed.
However, because Bohr had just described a very wonderful way to measure atoms, turning the impossible into possible, the three did not rashly refute it. They could only listen to the legends of the Secret Law Society discussing whether the internal structure of atoms was a "solid sphere", "raisin" or "watermelon-shaped"...
These theoretical doctrines on the structure of atoms are not pure fantasy. At least they are logically self-consistent and have certain real-life basis. Bohr even conducted experiments to determine whether the inside of an atom is solid or hollow.
At this moment, Vittorio and Aurora both deeply experienced the feeling of being on pins and needles that Harrov had felt when he first attended the discussion meeting.
This is like a wizard apprentice infiltrating a group of formal wizards to discuss how to use magic to mimic elements. The only way to describe it is that he is at a loss.
Faced with the constant inquiries from several people, Vittorio's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he reluctantly said a few words to fool them.
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Bohr and others did not seem to have fully figured out the internal structure of atoms. At present, these theories are still in the stage of theoretical perfection but lack of substantial evidence...
This is also the goal of this seminar, to explore the nature of atoms and create a ranking table of elements based on their properties!
If successful, there is no doubt that this [Element Ranking Table] will become the foundation of the entire magic system!
This means that wizards’ understanding and application of elements will reach a whole new level!
But can atoms really be separated? And what kind of force can cut an atom in half...
Vittorio fell into deep thought. Another speaker of the parliament, Artok, had made similar conjectures and tried to study a more microscopic field. No one knew whether he succeeded or not. Instead, he became like a madman, muttering about elemental ghosts incoherently every day, and the manuscripts he left behind were full of nonsense.
Because of this, they interrupted the relevant experiments and research on elements...Now it seems necessary to pick it up again.
This discussion on the properties and internal structure of atoms lasted for more than an hour. Several possible models were presented in the void in the form of magical mimicry, which opened the eyes of Harof, Aurora and Vittorio.
Just as the discussion was about to come to an end, Aurora stepped forward and started talking about business.
"Everyone, I think you all have some understanding of the recent war between the Church and the Kingdom, right?"
"Indeed, I have heard of it." The white-haired Einstein standing on the left nodded and continued, "Haven't you already won the battle and driven the church's punitive army out of the kingdom?"
victory?
Harov shook his head helplessly. Rather than saying it was a victory, it would be more accurate to say that they were lucky enough to escape with their lives!
Chapter 381: The Six-Ring Great Wizard is the limit of what humans can reach!
Seeing Harov's grim expression, Bohr couldn't help but chuckle.
"It seems like you guys are in some trouble?"
"This trouble is not just ours." Aurora interrupted and said sharply, "The Empire and the Church are threatening the survival of all wizards. This matter is not only related to the Parliament, but also to the [Arcane Society], right?"
Compared to the isolated wizarding lands overseas, the members of the [Society of Mysticism] are the ones who are most threatened by the Holy See. Legendary wizards like Bohr may not care about being hunted down, but ordinary members are not all so powerful.
“Also, the Magic Kingdom’s plan was proposed and implemented by members of the [Society of Secret Magic]. This matter should be the internal affairs of the [Society of Secret Magic].” Vittorio on the side also added.
Although one of the purposes of their participation in this legendary gathering was to seek allies, neither Aurora nor Vittorio were willing to lose the initiative, and in a few words, they reversed the responsibility.
Now the ones who are fighting against the Church are the members of the [Secret Law Society], and the Wizarding Land is considering the overall situation and is helping them to save the collapsing building...
