These water drops were not in the test tube before. Claire's Appraisal Spell clearly told her this result, but after contact with the fla, water was produced in the test tube.
So, what did this an?
"The combustion of this gas can produce water?"
Sharon made the conclusion that Claire did not dare to confirm, but they could obviously see the result.
"I think we should make so more gas to verify its properties."
Reiner did not affirm or deny, but continued to fiddle with the experintal equipnt and collected enough two gases.
"The combustion-supporting gas can be collected by the drainage thod, but it will be slightly soluble in water over ti. It is colorless, odorless, and has no obvious toxicity to the human body. It can support combustion or can burn itself, and it cos from the electrolysis of water. The average of the relative elental masses of the elents that make up the gas is 16.3, which was determined by using three thods. It can be speculated that the gas is composed of atoms of two elents. I nad this elent Occles'."
After conducting a series of experints, Reiner wrote this description in his notes.
The definition of relative elent mass in academia was the ratio of the target elent to the one-twelfth of the elent mass of "Carbone". The common form of "Carbone" was a black combustible solid substance, which was the main component of coal.
The relative elent mass asurent spell could asure the mass of the molecule. Reiner asured the relative elent mass of the two gases. Then, based on the relative elent mass of the water, the relative elent mass of the elent itself could be obtained by a simple calculation.
Since these spells couldn't asure the relative elent mass of individual elents in the compound, so it was difficult to find new substances. It seed that so mages were looking for new asurent thods, but they had no clue.
As for the naming rule, he followed the habits of alchemists, which he found from an ancient magic book.
After writing these, Reiner carried out the sa experint with another gas.
"This gas can be collected by the drainage thod. It is found through experints that it is almost insoluble in water. It is colorless, odorless, and has no obvious toxicity to the human body. It is very easy to burn. After burning, it generates water. The average value of the mass asured by three thods is 1. It can be inferred that the gas is composed of atoms of two elents. I nad it 'Hydra'."
Hydra was a monster once discovered by ancient mages in one demiplane. More than 90% of that demiplane was covered by sea water, and that monster was the overlord of the sea and was also recorded in the magic books.
"The quality of this elent is really light."
Sharon sighed with emotion. A relative elent mass of 1 ant that the mass of a "Hydra" atom was one-twelfth that of a "Carborne" atom. But this light elent actually had the na of a giant monster. It was such a huge contrast.
Rainer smiled, and did not explain the enormous power that this seemingly lightest elent might conceive in the future. He then conducted so experints to mix common combustibles with "Occles".
Unsurprisingly, the product of the mixed combustion of "Carborne" and "Occles" was the kind of magical fla-retardant gas in Cola. The elent composition ratio was one to two. This gas was nad "Carbone Double Occles". Because the common na of the Carbone elent was carbon, and the aqueous solution of this gas was acidic. It was also called carbonic acid gas.
When "Occles" and "Hydra" were put into a closed container at a ratio of one to two, the mass of water obtained after ignition with a spark was exactly equal to the mass of the two gases put in the container. Experints had proved that the mass of matter was conserved after the alchemical reaction.
At this point, the experint on the properties of the gas ca to an end. To finish the note, Reiner wrote:
"According to the experintal process, it can be known that water is not a simple substance, but a compound obtained from the elents of 'Occles' and 'Hydra' in a ratio of one to two. When electricity is applied, the gas of these two elents can be obtained."
This sentence seed simple, but it overthrew an entire system.
Modern alchemy system.
The electrolysis of water showed that the so-called "basic elents" were not basic, and the matter was not composed of these four elents.
"Occles" could support combustion, but it did not have a negative mass. It was not a fire elent, but most of the combustion reactions require its participation. In the past, the core elent of combustion that people could not find was "Occles".
And the conclusion of conservation of mass overturns many of the previously well-established reaction formulas. People would need to find other materials that had been missed in the previous experint to et this law, and all alchemy textbooks would be rewritten!
Claire looked at Reiner's notes. The beautiful swashes made this Professor feel even more lancholy, like a lost child who could not find her way ho.
"Have we been wrong for hundreds of years?"
Muttering to herself, Claire's eyes were blank.
At this ti, a hand was gently placed on her head.
"Not everything is wrong. Combustion theory and basic elent theories have a great influence, but many conclusions on this will not change because of new discoveries. Do you think charcoal would not burn after I publish this? Of course not."
Reiner gently stroked Claire's soft blonde hair, his fingertips moving gently against her smooth hair. It was a wonderful feeling.
"In fact, starting from today, not only alchemy, but the entire magical world will benefit from it. We overturn the past theories not to collapse the entire magical tower, but to move further toward the truth. It is even possible that in the future, these conclusions will be overturned by formulas that describe the world more accurately. We just made a little step forward in the process of approaching the truth."
This simple step took three hundred years.
Claire lifted her head slightly. The principal, who had never looked pleasing to her eyes in the past, seed to have beco a lot more gentle. His words echoed in Claire's ears. It was not a proud declaration, but a humble whisper.
There was no arrogance, no complacency, what Reiner showed was only the heart of exploration.
The legendary mage Hermann Braggs, who stood out in the ancient magic wars and established the modern magic system single-handled, once said that the so-called mage was just a person who sought truth. At this mont, Reiner's words and deeds were precisely this. The truest portrayal of the sentence.
Staring at him, Claire felt a little hot on her cheeks, she hurriedly turned her head away, and covered her hot cheeks with her hands.
Her heartbeat was beating fast. Even in the fifth magic test after four failures, Claire had never felt this way. It was different from tension, but a purer emotion.
"Then Professor Claire..."
Reiner looked at Claire and said softly.
"Can you help sort out today's lab notes so that I can write the paper?"
"What?"
The turn of the words was a bit strange, Claire didn't react for a while, but when she noticed her gaffe and Reiner's indifferent attitude, the Professor suddenly felt a little resentful.
This guy was terrible!
