After a week, with the joint efforts of hundreds of wizards, the basic data such as mass, density, molecular weight, etc. of forty-nine elements were studied out. What data should be used as the basis for the element ranking table is also a very hot topic of discussion.
Several hours of heated discussions did not make those present feel tired, because they all understood that the real seminar had just begun.
Among the great wizards, Raphael stood up slowly, walked to the front of the stage and spoke.
"I want to talk about some properties of the new element radium. Please allow me to turn off the magic lamp temporarily..."
Harrov nodded and snapped his fingers to cut off the power supply. The light on the ceiling of the conference room flickered a few times, and the surroundings immediately became dark.
There was only one exception in the entire conference room, and that was Raphael's clothes, which were emitting a yellow-green fluorescent light and looked extremely dazzling...
"There is no magical fluctuation?" Harof said in surprise. He could naturally sense that this strange fluorescence was not some kind of magic.
"Yes, this is the power of radium!" Raphael said complacently. "I found in my research that this new element can emit soft fluorescence when mixed with some substances. I left it there for two whole nights, and the light didn't even fade..."
"According to my guess, this kind of light may continue to radiate for several years or even decades!" Raphael said with certainty.
"Then where does the power to radiate light come from?" Vittorio on the side said thoughtfully.
The fact that it could emit light spontaneously without the need for magical power amazed all the wizards present.
Those wizards who are proficient in alchemy and herbology thought of a magical substance, the incandescent mushroom lamp! This magical plant that grows in the dark underground also has the ability to emit light by itself, but the difference is that it needs magic power to supply it. Once it is separated from the magic power, it will quickly wither.
"I guess this is probably a reaction between radium and some substances, just like a combustion reaction produces light and heat, but the reaction process is very slow, so the light is relatively soft, and it is possible that the energy will be gradually consumed over a long period of time..." Raphael speculated.
Since three days was too short, he had no time to do further experiments and could only speculate based on the magic theories in his mind.
Although his understanding of radium was not very profound, the property of self-luminescence alone was enough to highlight the importance of this new element.
This thing allows them to see in the dark without any consumption, and it will definitely be very effective in night battles.
Raphael even thought that in the future he could paint the walls of the royal capital with this mixed paint. In that case, the problem of lighting at night would be solved directly without consuming any electricity.
Raphael talked eloquently about the application range of radium. Lin En in the audience seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a strange look on his face, but it was not his turn to speak yet.
Finally, Raphael took out a glass cup painted with fluorescent paint and placed it in front of everyone.
"It's so beautiful... such a bright light!"
Seeing that his research was recognized by everyone present, Raphael couldn't help but smile. It seemed that his previous decision was extremely correct. Since uranium has great harmfulness and uncertainty, it is better to work on the radium element which has a smaller content in the Demon Stone!
Based on this idea, Raphael imitated Lynn's electromagnetic separation method and separated the radium from the small piece of devil's stone.
Originally, he just wanted to test the various properties of radium, but during the experiment he accidentally discovered that this thing would glow continuously when combined with some substances. The paint made from this can be used on almost anything, making them glow yellow-green at night, as if they were enchanted.
This was undoubtedly an opportunity to make a fortune. Raphael knew very well that this novel thing would definitely set off a trend among wizards...
The research on the self-luminous properties of radium won high praise from a group of wizards. Raphael also gave some glassware with fluorescent paint to several speakers and great wizards, and then returned to his seat with satisfaction.
Then Anthony stood up and began to explain his theory of purple fruit-shaped atomic structure.
There is no doubt that the elements are charged inside. The electromagnetic separation experiment led by Lynn a few days ago, which transformed two new elements from gas into a special plasma, is an extremely important evidence!
So after the Magic Daily published this news, all the motors produced by the Alchemy Research Institute were sold out in an instant! This is an era where everyone is vying to be the King of Thunder and Lightning. After all, if Anthony's theory is correct, then thunder is the root of all magic, and any wizard who wants to explore the truth must master it! After more than a dozen great wizards finished talking about their research results, it was finally Lin En's turn. He was ranked last.
This is not neglect but attention!
However, Harov, who made this ranking, still looked at Lin En with a little apology, because the other great wizards seemed to have said everything they could say! Fortunately, the embarrassing situation imagined did not happen. Lin En stood up calmly and spoke under the gaze of everyone.
"After my research and experiments, I found that the two new elements, uranium and radium, are different from any elements we have come into contact with before. They have a common characteristic and should be classified into a category that is different from metal and non-metal elements."
"I call them radioactive elements!"
Lin En's words were shocking as soon as he opened his mouth, and they perked up the wizards who had been feeling a little drowsy after half a day of discussion.
"Radioactive element?" Vittorio frowned, pondering the name carefully, and attached great importance to Lynn's research.
Because this may be related to why they are unable to freely control and analyze these two special new elements. This is also a problem that has been bothering every wizard after obtaining the Demon Stone.
