In the midst of the wizards' low murmurings, Lynn began to explain.
"Normally, the internal structure of an elent is stable and does not change easily, but uranium and radium are different; their structures are always in an unstable state..."
"Do you an to say that part of the elent's shell cannot contain its internal energy, and so the Thunder Power that constitutes the elent is continuously dissipating outward?" Prompted by Lynn's explanation, Vittorio quickly ca to his own understanding.
This could indeed explain the self-illuminating phenona of radium elents.
"No, not just electrons, I believe that besides electrons, there are other substances inside the elent!" Lynn stated decisively.
"Master Lynn, could it be that you have sliced open an elent and glimpsed its secrets?" A wizard in the audience asked excitedly upon hearing Lynn's confident assertion.
"Unfortunately, although I have thought of a way to split an elent apart, there's a very important problem I haven't been able to solve," Lynn shook his head and spoke helplessly.
Harrov was very curious about the thod Lynn ntioned for splitting an elent apart. In these past days, they too had made nurous attempts using high temperatures, electric shocks, heavy pressure, and nearly every conceivable thod without any sign of breaking the elental structure.
But before Harrov could ask, Lynn continued, "Next, I will let you all see firsthand how radium elents release their power outward!"
As he spoke, Lynn raised his hand and created a vacuum domain, expelling all other elents from the space, leaving only a sufficient amount of water vapor. Then he opened a bottle of highly concentrated distilled liquor.
The strong scent of the liquor spread throughout the conference room, prompting Sanchez to involuntarily swallow his saliva.
"What are you doing, Master Lynn? Don't tell you intend to treat us to so radium-infused Fluorescent Bar?" Rafael couldn't help but chuckle as he speculated.
What are elents? They are the core of all matter, and this peculiar radium elent, which radiates its power outward, is the core of cores, the very essence of magic. Consuming it might have so beneficial nourishing effects...
While Rafael pondered whether to go back and make so radium liquor, Lynn had already dispersed the entire bottle of highly concentrated distilled liquor into the air, mixing it with the dense water vapor.
Then, Lynn solemnly took out a lead sphere specifically used for isolating radiation. Upon releasing the constraints, the radium elents inside imdiately floated in the vacuum, and their potent radioactivity beca apparent at once!
Invisible high-energy particles emanated from the radium, radiating outward into the dense water vapor and drawing clear, visible trails of mist... It was like a bloom of thorny flowers unraveling in the void!
"This is..." Vittorio stared transfixed at the scene in front of them, and the wizards present were equally amazed, rising to their feet and looking at the undulating mist with uncertainty.
"These are the trails made by radiation particles as they pass through the mist!" Lynn proclaid with rising inflection.
The grand wizards in the front row couldn't resist stepping onto the stage and touched the fast-moving vapor trails within the domain, witnessing the power erging from the elents themselves!
A deeper level of the essence of magic!
"How did you do this, Master Lynn? Is it the liquor that's the secret?" One of the grand wizards asked eagerly.
They were incapable of seeing or sensing the rays emanating from the elents, yet now, they were vividly presented before their eyes in another form.
"I call it the Cloud Chamber," Lynn snapped his fingers, and the dispersed clouds vanished instantly before he continued with a smile, "Do you know how fog is ford?"
"It's because of a drop in temperature, the dispersed water elents in the air condensing together, transitioning from gas to liquid..." Rafael answered offhand, a piece of knowledge any wizard would know.
"Exactly!" Lynn nodded. "However, fog also needs sothing else to form—nucleation sites. They cause the dispersed water vapor to gather together..."
Cooling (low temperature and low pressure), moisture (saturated water vapor), and nucleation sites... these are the three essential elents for fog formation, like how it easily becos foggy in the morning due to the free water vapor in the air being cooled and contacting dust, thus condensing.
However, dust is not the only condensation nucleus, ions caused by various high-energy particles can also serve as the core for steam to condense around, so when the domain is filled with cold, moist air, a white foggy trail appears along the path of the particles!
As for mixing alcohol into the water vapor, this is to make the foggy trail appear clearer and to last for a longer ti!
"I never imagined the principle would be so simple," Sanchez said, unable to help but express his admiration after listening to Lynn's explanation.
A standard thod of water vapor condensation was used by Lynn in such an innovative way...
One could only say the Star of Magic truly deserved its na, with such astounding observational skills and creativity!
Faced with praise and flattery from all the wizards present, Lynn responded one by one with his usual calm deanor; he wasn't particularly excited, after all, he was rely standing on the shoulders of giants.
The founder of the Cloud Chamber was Charles Wilson, whose na may not be very well-known, and who couldn't compare to scientific greats like Tesla, Maxwell, or Newton, but he genuinely made many significant contributions.
He not only tinkered with the early radiation detection devices but also dedicated himself to studying the electric fields in the atmosphere and the formation of thunderclouds and achieved comndable results. One could say he reached the upper limit of what an ordinary scientific genius could achieve in a lifeti...
"Your research is extrely crucial, Master Lynn, this might be a key step for us in unlocking the mysteries of the microscopic domain!" Vittorio spared no praise, imdiately discussing with Harrov and Aurora whether to award Lynn the Morning Star dal or the Silver Moon dal...
Compared to Rafael, who discovered that radium elents could glow on their own and created fluorescent paint, Lynn had gone a step further. He directly unveiled why these new elents glowed and even used a water mist experint to prove the unstable structure of radioactive elents, constantly releasing their energy.
The Morning Star dal clearly was no longer fitting for his achievents, so after discussion, the mbers of the council quickly decided to award Lynn a Silver Moon dal...
Lynn, receiving another Silver Moon dal, drew envious and admiring glances from the assembly mbers...
Rafael secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was glad he had spoken first; otherwise, his research results might have never seen the light of day.
Given the Star of Magic's thorough research on radium, he must have also noticed the phenonon of its spontaneous luminescence.
But to think this was rely a 'minor gain'?
Rembering the modest words spoken by that person when he had just entered, Rafael's expression turned sowhat odd.
If a Silver Moon dal was just a "minor gain," then what would be considered a major achievent?
As Rafael was thinking this, Lynn's voice suddenly ca through.
"Please wait a mont, esteed council mbers..."
"What is it, Master Lynn?" Harrov asked, puzzled.
"It is a bit too early to conclude now," Lynn shook his head, looking towards the wizards gathered.
"You all should have so understanding of the elent's radioactivity by now, I refer to these things emitted from the inside of atoms as Alpha particles!"
"The experint I am planning to conduct is reliant on these particles to be realized..."
Lynn's words left Harrov and the others completely stunned.
They had thought the Cloud Chamber that visualized radiation was the outco of the Star of Magic's research, without realizing that was just a precursor to the actual experint...
