"Atoms?" Vittorio paused and asked with a little confusion.
"That is, elements!" Bohr added, and then continued to ask, "How much do you know about it?"
Seeing that the topic of this discussion was related to elements, Harov immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If they continued to discuss topics such as star images and the birth and death of the universe, he would probably not even be able to interrupt.
"Elements are the foundation of everything in the world. We rely on them to cast most magic. It is also the oldest school of magic..." Vittorio spoke first.
Elementalism is undoubtedly the most important magical discipline, and is known as the foundation of the magic system along with psionic power. Some elemental wizards even arrogantly believe that alchemy, potions, shaping, and everything else are all about using the power of elements! After years of exploration in the wizard land, they have found a total of 49 basic elements, and have developed thousands of magics based on them, creating a golden age of magic!
Aurora then followed up Vittorio's words and talked about the composition and application of compound elements, as well as the laws of magical reactions between the elements...
After saying this, the two of them looked at the legends of the [Arcane Society] together.
Lin En was listening to the two people's explanation of elementology as Bohr. Seeing Vittorio and Aurora pause after explaining some basics, he couldn't help but say, "That's it? What else?"
Vittorio frowned and began to speak. "That's about all the research on elements in the wizarding land at the moment. It seems like you have more insights?"
"Of course, I think your understanding of elements is too superficial!" Bohr shook his head and sighed.
Having been in the wizard land for more than two years, he had a general understanding of the wizards' magical theories, which was about the level of a junior high school student in his previous life. He might not even know as much as a junior high school student...
It was just that Lin En had heard that the elemental master [Altok] had tried to advance into a more microscopic realm, so he tentatively asked Aurora and the others how much they knew about this.
The result disappointed him...
But think about it, this is normal. They are all standing on the shoulders of giants, and every theorem and formula they have learned is the result of life-long research and summary by the masters of physics and chemistry.
Wizards, on the other hand, need to deduce from scratch.
Although magic itself provides a lot of convenience, it may also be a blind spot, leading to many years of hesitation in a certain field.
Bohr's provocative words made Aurora narrow her eyes, and Vittorio also had a look of displeasure on his face, but before they could get angry, they heard the other party continue to speak.
"In addition to the most basic chemical properties, I think the weight, density, melting point, boiling point, molecular weight, periodicity, etc. of elements are all very worthy of study..."
Bohr said a lot of things casually, and Vittorio felt overwhelmed and couldn't help but interrupt him. "Wait, let's not talk about molecular weight and period for now, but how should density and weight be calculated?"
The size of the elements is extremely small, so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, and they are constantly moving. Where can they find such a small ruler and scale to measure this thing accurately?
Moreover, elements like hydrogen will generate upward buoyancy in the air, so weighing them is simply a fantasy. It is impossible to calculate negative weight, right? Vittorio showed a mocking look on his face. The so-called weighing is simply a fantasy! "Don't we have any way to evaluate the weight and volume of an object without a ruler and a scale?" Bohr said with a smile.
The two are exactly opposite in nature, one is extremely large and the other is extremely small...
"What do you mean?" Harov immediately thought of a possibility and looked at Bohr in astonishment.
The latter did not reply, but wrote a string of numbers in the air with his hand.
【6.67×10^-11L·m^2/kg^2! 】
"How about using this as a ruler?" Bohr said playfully.
"Is this... the gravitational constant?"
The people present noticed it immediately. When Lin En calculated the gravitational constant, Harof and Aurora were present, so they were naturally impressed by this thing.
"You mean, using space-time as the curtain and a fixed gravitational constant as the ruler..." Harov was the first to react.
"Yes, I have also heard about the experiments that Master Lin En did in the wizard land. I have to say they are very exciting!" Bohr said with appreciation.
"As we all know, the mass of an object will affect space and time. This value can be calculated using the universal gravitational formula, and the gravitational constant cannot be changed, so it is the best ruler!"
"Although the disturbance of a single atom to space is very small and difficult to measure accurately, we can create a vacuum field to gather the single elements together, and then use the micro-deformation amplification method to amplify their disturbance to space. Finally, when calculating, we can remove this multiple and estimate the mass of the element in reverse!"
This method is not copied from others, but was thought up by Lin En based on the characteristics of wizards.
After all, the scientific and technological school that I followed in my previous life did not have such a good method of space perception and atomic manipulation, so the atomic mass was calculated using Newton's second law of motion - F=ma to calculate the direction.
a is the acceleration of an object with mass m when it is acted upon by force F. So we only need to transform the formula to get that mass m is equal to force F divided by acceleration a! Of course, since atoms are so small, we need a mass spectrometer...
He can't get that thing out in a short time, but fortunately, wizards naturally have their own methods!
They have the ability to manipulate atoms and sense space, which is a unique advantage in the field of "magic research", so they must use it! As for problems, there are also problems. For example, multiple atoms will disturb each other and affect the measurement results. Fortunately, they can slowly find this ratio by adjusting the number of atoms, so as to minimize the interference...
"What a great idea!" Vittorio was completely convinced. He admired the imagination of these wizards from the [Mystical Society].
When calculating the circumference of a planet before, I used the simplest triangle formula - the Pythagorean theorem, and this time I used the gravitational constant! (PS: I happened to have something to do today, so the second chapter will be a little late, probably around 2pm.) (End of this chapter)
