Early the next morning, in the laboratory on the north side of the teaching tower, Reiner and Sharon had already begun preparations for the experint.
Reiner puts a few standard magic stones into the magic circle that would asure the relative elent mass, and the lines that construct the magic emitted a dim light. This magic circle made by the alchemy workshop of the Rainbow Tower could easily deal with several common elent asurents.
In the past, mages first determined the mass of elents by relying on alchemical reaction and analysis. By reacting elents of a certain mass with other elents, the mass of the compound was compared and analyzed to obtain the relative mass of the elent. This thod required a lot of experints and accurate asurent and calculation.
Later, this thod gradually evolved. In the end, academia had now determined the relative elent mass of most known elents and compounds based on one-twelfth of the elent mass of Carbone.
But this thod also had an obvious problem, that was, it was impossible to distinguish elental elents from compounds.
For example, water was considered to be a basic elent before the appearance of Reiner's paper on the electrolysis of water. Its elent mass was 18.02361. According to His Excellency Steinen's theory of elent mass ordering, it was located after the Carbone elent, and before the Magnis elent.
However, Cornwall Penzance's electrolysis thod had discovered two new elents, among which the elent mass of the Thordian elent was 22.89867, which was smaller than the Magnis elent, so it jumped into the middle.
Then Reiner discovered that water was composed of two elents, and this sequence naturally changed again.
After the water was electrolyzed, mages quickly developed asurent magic circles based on Hydra and Occles, and the relative elent mass order had so slight changes again.
His Excellency Steinen naturally also noticed that his theory had limitations. Not all known elents could be found in his list, but he couldn't find a better way to improve it.
At this mont, Reiner was facing three magic circles that used different benchmarks to asure relative elent mass. Through the combination of these magic circles, a relatively accurate elent mass could be obtained.
"Sharon, give a little Borren elent. Use the bottle in the lab."
Reiner ordered. The thod of asuring the relative elent mass was very simple, that was, he just needed to put the elent he wanted to asure into the magic circle, and then he could get so values through extrely small reaction analysis.
This was very simple, but since it required the magic power of a first-ring mage or three standard magic stones to activate the magic circle, apprentices generally could not experint on it.
Sharon took a bottle of Borren elent. This elent was extrely difficult to obtain. Most of the Borren elents obtained by alchemy reaction contained impurities. Therefore, the pure Borren elent needed to be stored in a magic vessel, and it was very expensive. So it could be said that Reiner was very generous when he let Sharon experint on it at will.
He took a little Borren elent and placed it in the asurent magic circle. A shimring light flickered, and there was a surge of magical power from the circle. In the extrely small world, the Borren elent was interacting and reacting with other substances in the magic circle. Its subtle mass change did not escape the monitoring of the intricate magic circle. Soon, a series of numbers were output from the asurent magic circle, and Reiner hurriedly recorded it.
"10.88927, compared with your number, which is 10.88931, the difference only occurs after the third decimal place. It is basically reasonable, but..."
Reiner glanced at the open book next to him. The recognized relative elent mass of Borren Elent was 10.91046, which was far from Reiner's result.
They repeated the experint two more tis, and then used the other two asurent magic circles to asure, and the results obtained were closer to the initial data rather than the official value.
Sharon glanced at Reiner, hoping to find an answer.
"Let's try again."
Reiner said, but Sharon was even more confused.
"The results of repeated experints should only linger around this number. Did we make any mistakes during the experint?"
"There was no problem with the asurent thod and process, and the mass of other elents you tested using these asurent magic circles did not have much error. Therefore, this possibility can be ruled out. Then it can only be the problem of the elent itself."
Reiner said thoughtfully. He took out two small bottles with labels from his storage bag, which contained silver-gray powder.
"This is also the Borren elent. I asked Mr. Osborne to buy it for yesterday. Sharon, what do you think is the difference between these two Borren elents?"
Handing the bottle to Sharon, Reiner asked.
"Uh......"
Sharon carefully observed the Borren elent in it. The two bottles were filled with similar silver-gray powder. If she had to identify a difference, then one of them was slightly darker in color, and the other was a little bit lumpier.
"Sorry, Mr. Reiner, I don't see a specific difference."
Hearing Sharon's answer, Reiner smiled, placed it next to the bottle in the laboratory, and then answered.
"It's the place of production."
He turned the bottle and showed Sharon the label.
The Borren elent that the school laboratory had was from the Sorenfies Mine in the northern Midland Federation, and the other two bottles, one from Bumi in Antojar demiplane, and one from the Ferun Mine in Gledia demiplanes. The two demiplanes were located in different star realms, which were far apart, and they were also quite far away from the main plane.
When Reiner asked for help from Mr. Osborne yesterday, the other party was very surprised and did not understand Reiner's intentions, but Mr. Osborne did not ask any questions. He simply directly asked soone to send the things Reiner wanted overnight. It could be seen that he was a very efficient person.
"Would the Borren elents from different origins be different?"
Sharon asked with her head tilted. In her opinion, the elent was the most basic substance, and it was not a fruit or animal. It would not be different because of different regions.
"I'm just experinting on a conjecture."
Reiner shook his head. He hadn't conducted related experints yet, so he couldn't confirm his thoughts.
"You said yesterday that maybe the elents themselves are different. Even the sa elent will have different types, right?"
"But this is just a complete hypothesis. There is no experintal phenonon that can prove it."
Sharon didn't quite believe what she had said, and that conjecture was nothing more than a joke of her, but she didn't expect Reiner to take it so seriously.
"So we can control the variables now and use these three Borren elents from different regions to verify this conjecture. What do you think?"
Reiner said, taking out so Borren elents from the two bottles he brought, and putting them into the asurent magic circle.
There was a flash of light, and he quickly got the reading.
"The Borren elent from the Antojar demiplane has a relative elent mass...10.90596!"
