Chapter 265 Nafis: I understand, you want to improve too much

Harold lowered his eyes and glanced at Nafis first, seemingly observing his expression, but actually his eyes were on his left ear - Nafis was not wearing the Void, which meant that their conversation would not be monitored.

Then, he said respectfully: "I would like to take this rare opportunity to explain to you in detail the significance of ammonia production.

I know that what I said last time was too simple, many details were vague, the language was not rigorous, and it seemed that I deliberately exaggerated its advantages.

But that’s just because the size of the letter paper is limited, I can’t show you all our research results, so I brought the research report we compiled here—”

Nafis became more and more confused as he listened. What was this "ammonia production"? What was this "further elaboration"? Why did Haroldt keep talking about things I couldn't understand?

It was not until he heard "the size of the letter paper is limited" that he suddenly realized it, so he coughed lightly and interrupted Harold's narration.

"Have you written to me before?" Nafis asked.

Harold pretended to be surprised: "Didn't you receive it? Well... maybe my dusk bird accidentally lost it while delivering the letter."

Nafis nodded. It was very likely that ordinary carrier pigeons could be intercepted, not to mention the dusky bird trained by Harold for communication, which was a rare bird in the rainforest. Thieves were very interested in it. Coupled with factors such as weather, it was not surprising that the letter was lost.

Nafis: "You just said that you prepared a detailed research report?"

Harold: "Yes, I thought you were not interested in our research. My student has been disappointed for a long time. His research, which he was very confident in, did not receive the approval of the sage, and he did not even receive a letter of rejection. He even doubted whether his research was valuable.

You know, no reply is often more disturbing than a clear rejection - it turns out that you didn't receive the letter at all. Phew, we have been anxious for so long, and those opening remarks I have thought hard about seem to be useless. "

In Nafis's eyes, Haroldt became visibly relaxed, and even his words became slightly more intimate, completely different from the serious Xiangzi at the beginning.

Nafis found it funny inside but still kept a stern face. He tapped the table with his backhand to indicate that the chat was over. Harold understood and immediately shut up.

"From what you said, you are very confident about this research. Where are the documents? Let me see if your research is really valuable." Nafis said in a solemn tone.

"Here." Harold handed over the documents he had prepared long ago.

This research document on the preparation and value of liquid ammonia was written by Radu, but Harold gave him a lot of guidance in the process of writing this report, so Radu not only wrote about the preparation and liquefaction of ammonia, but also added the future of this technology at the end - making fertilizers.

Of course, since there is no detailed classification of fertilizers in Teyvat and no concept of chemical symbols, the residents of Teyvat do not know why fertilizing can increase crop yields.

So this research report also included a dozen pages of paper, which defined for the first time what "chemical elements" are and that plants need some specific elements to grow.

Nafis took the document, felt its weight, and couldn't help but do a habitual action: he took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on, then squinted his eyes and read carefully.

The more he read, the more frightened he became, especially the part about "chemical elements". In fact, the Su Lun school, which specialized in elementology, had long ago proposed the idea that "everything in nature is made up of elements", but this statement was not widely spread, and even within the Su Lun school there were many people who did not recognize this theory.

The conclusion of Harold's research team coincides with this ancient theory, but is more radical. They believe that elements are a specific form of matter.

"Concrete" rather than spiritual, abstract, and single. Obviously, the "element" they mentioned is different from the seven elements of wind, rock, thunder, fire, and grass mentioned by the Su Lun School. In fact, because of the existence of gods, the concept of "everything originates from the seven elements" is easier for the public to accept.

Nafis couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe the lenses. He took a deep breath. He could imagine what kind of uproar the relevant paper would cause in the academic community once it was published.

The Sipantama Academy, one of the six oldest academies, will be divided into several factions. The founder of the doctrine, Harold and his team will become the center of the storm and be pushed to the forefront.

Whether or not their hypothesis is confirmed, these are things that are bound to happen.

Nafis' heart was already in turmoil, and without him realizing it, his legs were trembling slightly under the table.

Combined with this report on "chemical elements", "Plant growth requires specific elements" and "Preparation of liquid ammonia and its significance", it is not difficult to find that they are intrinsically related.

No, it can be said that they are closely linked. Even he, who has never seen their experiments, is convinced by them. As a sage of the vitalism school, Nafis naturally has a rich reserve of knowledge. He vaguely feels that many difficult problems he has seen before that cannot be explained in the academic community can be explained by the theories summarized by Haroldt's team.

With the popularization of microscopes in the Amyrido Academy, the life theory school had a further understanding of the microscopic world described by Harold. "Living things are made up of cells that are invisible to the naked eye, and cells are made up of even smaller substances."

The new generation of scholars at Amygdal College, especially those who devoted themselves to the newly established school of microbiology, should have no difficulty accepting this statement.

Plants need certain specific elements? This inference can be said to be shocking. It provides a deeper explanation to the previous scholars' belief that "the source of nutrition for plants is humus".

It also made it clear that "plant growth can be artificially regulated", which was something that only the Grass-attributed God's Eye could do in the past!

But if this is true, it means that the research of the Sulun School will promote the research of the Shenglun School, and the barriers between the Sulun School and the Shenglun School will be further broken down. At that time, even if Azar insists on his own way, he will not be able to prevent the emergence of interdisciplinary disciplines.

The weight of these studies is self-evident. Nafis took off his glasses and wiped them repeatedly while reading to cover up his gaffe. Although he is very efficient at work, it took him nearly 40 minutes to finish reading all the documents.

After reading it, he solemnly put down the document in his hand and asked Harold: "How long have you been studying these things?"

Harold replied, "It has been nearly half a year since Radu became my student. The content of the theory of "elements" is very complicated. With only a few of us, we have only studied the basics and made some simple definitions in such a short time.

I think it is necessary to make this content public so that more people can explore it together. This will speed up the research process and allow the research results to benefit the people of Xumi more quickly. The students also agree with my opinion, so I would like to ask for your opinion.

If you think our research is valuable, I would like to ask you to inform all the tutors of Ami Rido College of these results. "

Nafis nodded slightly, said "hmm", and fell into thought.

He was not surprised that Harold would come up with this proposal. In his eyes, Harold had always been a scholar who had no interest in fame or gain. He cared more about the research process rather than what he could gain from the research.

The hypothesis he proposed this time was too shocking, and it almost set off a storm that would affect the six major colleges. Even though he was already a famous young genius in the College of Eminence, he was pushed to the forefront at this stage and it would be easy for him to be trapped in future storms. It would not be too late to hide his identity and claim this achievement after he had established a firm foothold in the academic world.

And if he announced that the research came from Harold, Harold would inevitably be linked to him, a sage who was not favored by Azar.

Nafis knew that this was something Harold was trying his best to avoid, as could be seen from the fact that Harold consciously reduced his private meetings with him.

However, Nafis did not think that Harold was snobbish. In the past, he always felt disappointed and sad when his students alienated him because of Azar.

But Haroldt did this to cover up his research, which was a thorn in Azar's eye, in order to be able to carry on. That was strategic alienation. He could fully understand that Haroldt just wanted to do scientific research too much.

After accepting Harold's request, he thought about it for a moment and realized something was wrong:

How could a letter containing such important research be lost along the way? If a letter is lost, it means that it may fall into the wrong hands, just like the letter sent by Harold, and the letter sent by me.

If the letter is lost, it would be easy for outsiders to imitate our handwriting and forge a letter. Well... the probability is very small, but we have to be on guard.

Nafis thought about it and said to Harold: "Harold, I have heard your wishes. I will distribute your research results to the college tutors this week.

But I noticed a problem, about the lost letters... Carrier pigeons and jays can't talk, so it's inevitable that mistakes will happen when relying on them to deliver letters. If they are just lost, that's the best case scenario. There's also the possibility that the jays may be intercepted by people.

I think it is necessary to put a mark in the letter so that both of us can confirm that it is the real sender. "

O sage, wise and holy!

Harold couldn't help but shout in his heart. He was originally going to hint to Nafis about the agreed code, but he didn't expect that he would come up with this idea first, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Harold lowered his eyes slightly, pretending to be thoughtful: "Lord Nafis is right. This experience tells me that all this is necessary.

And I think you can also adjust the frequency of sending letters to Tinari, or combine the time of the next letter with the mark left. After all, we can't help but think too much if we don't receive your letter. "

"Well, that's a good idea too." Nafis praised. Then, he took out a piece of paper and made a dot on it with a quill pen, and then made three dots on the side.

"One dot on the back of the letter represents a sunny day, and three dots represent a rainy day. If these dots appear in the upper right corner, it means that I will reply immediately after receiving the letter. If they appear in the upper left corner, it means that I am busy but will reply within a month.

If you do not receive my letter within this period, it may be lost on the way. You can write to let me know. Of course, you can also use the same code in your letter to me. "

"Okay, I'll tell Tinari what you said." Haroldt looked at the time and said politely, "I seem to have stayed a little too long, Lord Nafis."

"Go about your business." Nafis waved his hand.

Harold went to the clerk's office with the certificate issued by Nafis and was stopped several times by the guards on the way, but the guards immediately let him go after checking the documents.

Harold strode to the door of the clerk's office and knocked on it.

"Come in."

Elhaisen's voice came from inside the door.

"I'll come get the things, senior." Harold said with a smile.

"It seems that you are in a good mood today. Did you enjoy chatting?" Elhaisen said as he walked to the desk and picked up a stack of documents.

He didn't mention who he was talking to, but Harold knew who he was talking about.

"It's pretty good. If you're interested, I can tell you about it in detail when I get home." Harold shrugged.

"I hope the conversation is more interesting than this research report." Elhaisen said and handed over the document.

Don't look down on him like that. Whether we can use the phone in the future depends on his research! Haroldt complained in his heart.
