At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ji finally charged the last magic circle.
He took a slight breath and looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, and at the 'Naga Ghost Tree' that was gradually coming to life under the setting sun.
From his pocket, he took out the metal block he found among the ashes of the 'evil creature' he killed in the afternoon.
The setting sun shines on it, reflecting gray colors.
"Interesting!" Xu Ji commented.
He remembered that when he discovered this thing, it was still blue.
Now, it has turned gray-white.
It's like a piece of hazy glass, but sunlight can't penetrate it.
Xu Ji curiously used his magic power, opened his Dharma Eyes, and examined this strange piece of metal.
But it was discovered that under the observation of the Dharma Eye, this thing was releasing traces of gray-white substance.
"Like uranium?"
Xu Ji scratched his head, his chemistry level was very worrying!
Now, I have lost the ability to compete with junior high school students.
After thinking about it, Xu Ji picked up his phone and took a photo of this small piece of metal.
Then, he opened the reinstalled and logged in Weixin and sent this photo to Professor Chen Ang.
Then he typed a consultation: "Professor, I found an unknown metal... I feel that it seems to be some kind of brand-new metal element!"
…
Chen Ang was leaning on the sofa in the office, holding his mobile phone and looking at the recharge interface on the screen in a daze.
He had just received Tan City's special consultant's allowance.
Twenty thousand yuan after tax!
Very generous!
The most important thing is that my wife still doesn’t know that he has such a huge amount of money!
Therefore, at this moment, Professor Chen is high-spirited and impassioned!
Finger resting on the recharge button on the screen.
My eyes were on the options of 648 and 328, and I hesitated for a long time.
"I have money...it's not too much to top up with 648, right?"
However, the moment I pressed it, it moved to 328 next to it.
A mask of pain immediately appeared on his face.
648 was a little reluctant to give up, but 328 felt that he was being treated too badly, and was vaguely unconvinced.
"What are you afraid of?"
"A manly man! Why be so timid! I have the final say on my allowance!"
As Professor Chen Ang spoke, he took a deep breath and pressed the 648 recharge button.
Then my fingers couldn't press it down.
While he was struggling, a pop-up window with prestige information appeared at the top of the phone screen.
When Professor Chen Ang saw it, he immediately cut out the Genshin Impact interface with relief.
"I'm not cowardly!" he said, "It's entirely the financial backer that makes the difference!"
Open Weixin and take a look at the pictures and content sent.
Professor Chen Ang's expression immediately became extremely serious.
He looked carefully at the picture sent by Xu Ji, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"New metal element?" Professor Chen Ang looked carefully at the small metal block in the picture.
That thing was off-white and very small.
The edges are rounded and the transparency seems to be low.
If anyone else had posted such pictures and words, Professor Chen Ang would not even bother to deal with it!
These days, civil science is rampant!
Every year someone claims to have cracked the secret of perpetual motion and mastered the technology of cold fusion.
As for such small things as Goldbach's conjecture, overturning Newtonian mechanics, proving the existence/non-existence of the Big Bang, etc., people are making breakthroughs every day.
Just a new element?
It's clothes!
In the civil science forum, there may be one such person announcing his latest findings and evidence every minute.
However, the person who posted the picture was Xu Ji.
His big benefactor is also a mysterious figure that Tan City and even the whole world are currently focusing on!
I just serve as a consultant for him, answering some mechanical and engineering problems from time to time, or go to school to find some colleagues for him to study some mechanical transmission problems.
In less than a month, Tancheng City Finance paid him a consulting allowance of 20,000 yuan!
The explicit or implicit hints from relevant parties also made Professor Chen Ang understand that the financial backer he served had extraordinary origins and great energy!
After carefully studying the metal in the picture, Professor Chen Ang was not sure.
He typed and asked: "Mr. Xu Ji, where did you find this piece of metal?"
The other party replied almost instantly: "Abroad... within the Khmer Kingdom..."
Professor Chen Ang thought seriously: "Khmer?"
“I’ve never heard of any special mineral veins in Khmer!”
However, the metal picture Xu Ji sent is indeed very strange.
So Professor Chen Ang typed: "Mr. Xu Ji, I am not studying physics and chemistry..."
"If possible, can I forward this picture to my colleagues?"
"See if they have any input?"
The other party responded quickly and agreed.
Professor Chen Ang did not forward the pictures to his colleagues in the Department of Physics and Department of Chemistry at Chu University.
Instead, he found the staff member of the relevant department with whom he was connected through the communication column, and then sent the picture there.
By the way, I explained the situation again.
…
"New metallic elements?"
In the imperial capital, a highly respected old professor from a large chemical institute looked at a photo of metals forwarded to him by the relevant department.
The old professor was stunned for a moment, then put on his reading glasses and looked carefully.
As we all know, the periodic table of elements is a scientific table made by Mendeleev who ranked the atoms according to their mass.
At present, it is generally accepted by the Blue Star scientific community that there should be more than 170 elements in the nature of Blue Star.
However, humans have only discovered 118 of these elements so far.
These elements have been sorted into seven periodic tables of elements and divided into sixteen different element families.
The way to sort them is very scientific.
For elements in the same period, from left to right, the number of electron shells outside the element's core is the same, and the number of electrons in the outer shell of the element decreases in sequence. The ability to lose electrons gradually weakens, the ability to gain electrons gradually increases, the metallicity gradually increases, and the non-metallicity gradually weakens
.
For elements in the same group, from top to bottom, the number of electrons in the outermost shell is the same, the number of electron shells outside the nucleus gradually increases, the atomic radius increases, the atomic number increases, the metallicity of the element increases, and the non-metallicity decreases.
The old professor naturally knows these common senses well.
As an expert who has been immersed in chemical science for decades, a few years ago, as a representative of chemical scientists from the Central Plains, he participated in the review of four newly discovered elements: 113, 115, 117, and 118.
And named it Central Plains!
At this moment, the old professor looked at the small piece of metal in the picture carefully. The metal surface was gray-white.
The edges are rounded and the transparency is very poor.
There are no signs of oxidation on the appearance and no traces of corrosion.
He thought for a while and asked the person who sent the picture: "Are you sure this is a new metal element?"
Although the old professor had never seen anything like that piece of metal.
However, the things in the photos themselves are very confusing.
Most importantly, it has not undergone chemical analysis and research.
We don’t know its structure, chemical composition, atomic sequence, mass, and number of electrons.
It is impossible to judge it.
Therefore, the old professor suggested: "If possible, send that piece of metal to the imperial capital!"
In his heart, the old professor had deep doubts about the so-called 'new elements'.
Because scientists have been studying and exploring chemical elements in nature for more than a hundred years.
Those elements that can be discovered by people under natural conditions have long been included in textbooks.
At present, all new element discoveries come from the discovery of physical particle collisions.
Moreover, the half-lives of these new elements are incredibly fast!
Usually, it only takes a second or even a few milliseconds for these new elements to be born and decay into other elements.
Almost nothing can exist stably in nature!
However, the other party's reply made the old professor suddenly stand up: "This metal block is most likely an element that can crack martial arts/demon demons!"
"It may come from strange cycles and strange element families that we have never discovered or known!"
"An element closely related to 'aura'!"
"It's even made of aura itself!"
When the old professor saw this, he couldn't sit still anymore.
Demons and ghosts, martial arts.
This is a severe pain for the Blue Star scientific community!
Because scientists find that they cannot explain these things scientifically no matter what.
Meridians, acupoints, qi and blood, these are things that really exist in martial arts masters, and they are powers that can actually interfere with matter!
However, no matter whether it is MRI, X-ray or anything else, no trace can be found on the bodies of the martial arts masters.
They are like Schrödinger's cat.
It obviously exists, but no one can prove it.
Monsters are even more bizarre.
Although humanoid monsters are difficult to understand, at least they still have physical entities.
Electronic monsters make scientists lose all their hair.
I have no idea what form these monsters exist in?
How do they do it, killing people through phone calls, videos, emails, and even websites?
The so-called ghost tree is even more inexplicable.
For any scientist, after 1999, it was a disaster!
Scientific disaster!
Reality and theory collide!
There is a logical contradiction between facts and science!
The basic laws that once could explain all problems cannot explain the power of martial arts masters and martial arts, let alone demons and ghosts.
The world has taken a wrong path that has led to the collapse of scientists.
The most intuitive manifestation is that countries’ investment in basic science continues to decrease.
As the era of demons and ghosts continues.
The development and exploration of aerospace technology has gradually fallen into silence.
The International Space Station of the flag country and Rakshasa has been determined to no longer be studied, developed or updated after its expiration date.
All the massive deep space exploration projects have been cut in half!
Except for the Central Plains, all countries have lost their enthusiasm for landing on the moon. As for the Mars exploration project?
Even the Central Plains are actually very hesitant.
Because everyone is afraid and afraid.
Fear that among the stars, there exists some horror that humans cannot understand and cannot defeat.
I am also afraid of the unknown in deep space.
Especially when people continue to prove through archaeological discoveries that things that existed in ancient times and are recorded in history books, but are considered legends, romances, and superstitions in modern times, probably did exist.
People can't help but ask: "So, where are the monsters in myths and legends now?"
People looked up and looked at the boundless universe.
Naturally, a possibility comes to mind - maybe they are hiding in deep space, in the universe.
Therefore, everyone will inevitably wonder: If we rashly alert them, will it bring disaster to us?
Many scientists have since turned to this.
The so-called theory that the end of science is theology is even more popular!
So, after the old professor took a deep breath and calmed down, he took his cell phone and typed tremblingly: "How do you prove it?"
The other party was silent for a moment, and then gave an answer that the old professor had to believe: "The person who said it is a new element... is the legendary 'immortal'!"
‘Fairy’!
This legend has actually spread among the upper class society.
At first, people scoffed.
You say it is?
How funny!
But then, more and more evidence began to show that the "immortal" was special.
Whether it was for the purpose of practicing, he transformed a suburban hill into an almost miraculous transformation.
The originally ordinary hill and its surrounding environment were transformed into an incredible aura gathering area!
Many people have gone there to recuperate.
Those who come back have no doubts about the immortal's theory from now on!
Among them is another academician-level scientist who has been a friend of the old professor for many years!
Then, more incredible things happened.
Especially what has happened recently has created a huge wave in society!
Tan City!
A central provincial capital.
It may be important in Jingnan Province, but from a national perspective, it is only a second-tier or even third-tier city.
The most famous ones are internet celebrities and boxers.
However, it is such a city that, in the eyes of the outside world, except for the good food, other conditions are not very good.
But within a few days, it attracted a large amount of foreign investment!
First came the Seven Star Consortium, which made a large-scale presence and made high-profile official announcements.
The first sentence is "Blue Star takes the lead", the second sentence is "investment of hundreds of billions", and the third sentence is "creating millions of jobs".
Then, several consortiums such as Purdue Biotech and Hepburn Industries followed suit.
The investment slogan is shouted loudly!
Most people are confused and have no idea what these international plutocrats mean.
Many people even speculated online that these chaebols were probably just shouting slogans.
If the investment is actually implemented, there won't be much.
After all, no matter from which aspect, Tancheng is not a place suitable for capital growth.
This morning, there was a sudden thunder.
A large number of well-known financial groups began to officially announce their large investments in Tancheng City.
Even the people of the banner country made a request to establish a consulate in Tancheng City.
This is unusual.
There was a lot of discussion online.
I don’t understand at all, what are the chaebols thinking? What is there in Tan City that deserves their attention?
Only those in the know know.
All this is just for one person.
However, there is something special about this person.
There is a lot of mystery surrounding him, which so far cannot be clarified.
Mainstream speculation is that he may have two powerful origins!
Or the ‘immortal’ who is reborn and lives another life.
Or an alien from another universe, a parallel world.
The old professor forced himself to calm down, and then typed and asked: "Where is that piece of metal now?"
"Is there any chance we can borrow it to study it?"
If it is truly new, it is an element belonging to a new cycle and a new family of elements that has not been discovered or proven.
The old professor felt that leaving his name in history was waving to him!
The entire human civilization and science will develop rapidly because of this new element and its related chemical and physical discoveries!
Human civilization will even turn a new page as a result!
