What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 628 New Elements

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ji finally charged the last magic circle.

He took a slight breath, looked at the sun that was setting down gradually, and also looked at the 'Naga ghost tree' that was gradually becoming active under the setting sun.

From his pocket, he took out the piece of metal he found from the ashes of the 'evil thing' he killed in the afternoon.

The setting sun shone on it, reflecting gray and white colors.

"Interesting!" Xu Ji commented.

He remembered that when the thing was discovered, it was still blue.

Now, it has turned gray and white.

It's like a hazy glass, but the sun can't penetrate it.

Curiously, Xu Ji used his mana, opened his eyes, and inspected this strange piece of metal.

However, it was discovered that under the observation of Fayan, this thing was releasing traces of gray-white substance to the outside.

"Like uranium?"

Xu Ji scratched his head, his chemistry level was worrying!
Today, he has lost the ability to compete with junior high school students.

After thinking about it, Xu Ji picked up his phone and took a photo of this small piece of metal.

Then, open the prestige that has been reinstalled and logged in, and send this photo to Professor Chen Ang.

Then he typed to consult: "Professor, I found a piece of unknown metal... I feel that it seems to be a brand new metal element!"

……

Chen Ang was leaning on the sofa in the office, holding his mobile phone, staring at the recharge interface on the screen in a daze.

He had just received a special consultant allowance from Tan Chengcheng.

2 yuan after tax!

Very rich!

The most important thing is that my wife doesn't know that he has such a sum of money!

Therefore, at this moment, Professor Chen is full of spirit and impassioned!
Finger resting on the recharge button on the screen.

Eyes on the options of 648 and 328, hesitated for a long time.

"I have money...isn't it too much to recharge 648?"

However, at the moment of pressing, it moved to the next 328.
A mask of pain was immediately put on his face.

I was a bit reluctant to charge 648, but 328 felt that I was treated too badly, and I was still a little bit unconvinced.

"What are you afraid of?"

"A manly man! Why bother to shrink back! My allowance is my decision!"

As Professor Chen Ang said, he took a deep breath and was about to press the recharge button of 648.

Then the fingers couldn't press it down.

Just as he was struggling, a prestige message pop-up window appeared on the top of the phone screen.

When Professor Chen Ang saw it, he immediately cut out the original god interface with relief.

"It's not that I'm cowardly!" He said, "It's entirely because the benefactor has come to live!"

Open prestige, and look at the pictures and content sent.

Professor Chen Ang's expression immediately became extremely serious.

He looked carefully at the picture Xu Ji sent, his brows were furrowed even tighter.

"A new metal element?" Professor Chen Ang carefully looked at the small metal block on the picture.

It was off-white and very small.

The edges are rounded and the transparency seems to be low.

If other people post such pictures and such words, Professor Chen Ang would not even bother to answer them!

These days, civil science is rampant!

Every year, some people claim to have cracked the secret of perpetual motion machines and mastered the technology of cold fusion.

As for Goldbach's conjecture, overthrowing Newtonian mechanics, proving the existence/non-existence of the Big Bang, and other small things, there are breakthroughs every day.

A mere new element?
It's clothes!
In Minke Bar, there may be one such person announcing his latest discoveries and evidence every minute.

However, the person who posted the picture was Xu Ji.

His big benefactor is also Tan Chengcheng, and even the mysterious figure that the whole world is currently focusing on!
Just serve as a consultant for him, answering some mechanical and engineering problems from time to time, or go to school to find some colleagues for him to study some mechanical transmission problems.

In less than a month, Tancheng Finance paid him a consultant allowance of [-] yuan!
And the explicit or implicit hints from the relevant parties also made Professor Chen Ang understand that the benefactor he serves has extraordinary origins and great energy!
After carefully studying the metal on the picture, Professor Chen Ang was not sure.

He typed and asked, "Mr. Xu Ji, where did you find this piece of metal?"

The other party replied almost in seconds: "Overseas...in the Kingdom of Khmer..."

Professor Chen Ang thought about it seriously: "Khmer?"

"I've never heard of any special mineral veins in Khmer!"

However, the metal picture that Xu Ji sent was really weird.

So, Professor Chen Ang typed: "Mr. Xu Ji, I don't study physics and chemistry..."

"If possible, I will pass this picture to my colleagues?"

"See if they have any opinions?"

The other party quickly responded in agreement.

Professor Chen Ang did not forward the pictures to his colleagues in the Department of Physics and Chemistry of Chu Province University.

Instead, from the communication bar, he found the staff of the relevant department who was in contact with him, and then sent the pictures.

By the way, I explained the situation again.

……

"A new metal element?"

In the imperial capital, a highly respected old professor of a large chemical institute, looked at a metal photo that was forwarded to him by the relevant department.

The old professor froze for a moment, then put on his reading glasses and looked carefully.

As we all know, the periodic table of elements is a scientific table made by Mendeleev in order of atomic mass.

At present, the Blue Star scientific community recognizes that there should be more than 170 kinds of elements in the Blue Star nature.

However, humans have only discovered 118 of these elements so far.

These elements are arranged into seven periodic tables, which are divided into sixteen different element groups.

The way to sort them is very scientific.

For elements in the same period, from left to right, the number of electron layers outside the nucleus is the same, while the number of electrons in the outer layer of elements decreases in turn.The ability to lose electrons gradually weakens, the ability to gain electrons gradually increases, the metallicity gradually increases, and the non-metallicity gradually weakens.

For the elements of the same group, from top to bottom, the number of electrons in the outermost shell is the same, the number of electron shells outside the nucleus gradually increases, the atomic radius increases, the atomic number increases, the metallicity of the element increases, and the non-metallicity decreases.

The old professor is naturally familiar with these common senses.

As an expert who has been immersed in chemical science for decades, a few years ago, as a representative of chemical scientists in the Central Plains, he participated in the appraisal of four newly discovered elements 113, 115, 117, and 118.

And named it the Central Plains!

At this moment, the old professor carefully inspected the small piece of metal on the picture, and the metal surface was off-white.

The edges are rounded and the transparency is poor.

The appearance shows no signs of oxidation and no traces of corrosion can be seen.

He thought for a while, and asked the person who sent the picture: "Are you sure, this is a new metal element?"

That piece of metal, although the old professor had never seen anything like it.

However, the things in the photos are very deceptive in themselves.

Most importantly, without chemical analysis and research.

Don't know its structure, chemical composition, atomic sequence, mass, electron number.

It cannot be judged.

Therefore, the old professor suggested: "If possible, send that piece of metal to the imperial capital!"

In his heart, the old professor had deep doubts about the so-called 'new elements'.

Because scientists have been researching and exploring the chemical elements in nature for more than a hundred years.

Those elements that can be found by people under natural conditions have long been included in textbooks.

At present, all new element discoveries come from the discoveries after physical particle collisions.

Moreover, the half-life of these new elements is beyond imagination!

Usually, it takes only a second or even a few milliseconds for these new elements to decay into other elements after they are born.

There are almost none that can exist stably in nature!
However, the other party's answer made the old professor stand up suddenly: "This kind of metal block is very likely to be the element to crack martial arts/ghosts!"

"It may come from a strange cycle and a strange element family that we have never discovered and never known!"

"An element closely related to 'reiki'!"

"Even it itself is composed of aura!"

The old professor couldn't sit still when he saw this.

Ghosts, martial arts.

This is the pain of the Blue Star scientific community!

Because scientists found that they could not use science to explain these things no matter what.

Meridians, acupoints, qi and blood, these things do exist in martial arts masters, and they are the power that can actually interfere with matter!

However, no matter whether it was MRI, X-ray or anything else, they couldn't find any traces from the martial arts masters.

They are like Schrödinger's cats.

It exists, but no one can prove it.

Ghosts are even more bizarre.

Although humanoid ghosts are difficult to understand, at least they still have physical entities.

Electronic ghosts make scientists lose their hair.

I don't know what form these ghosts exist at all?

How did they do it, killing people through phone calls, videos, e-mails, and even URLs?

The so-called ghost tree is even more inexplicable.

For any scientist, after 1999, it was a disaster!
Scientific disaster!
Reality and theory collide!

Facts and science produce logical contradictions!

The basic law that could explain everything in the past cannot explain the power of martial arts masters and martial arts, let alone ghosts.

The world has gone astray from which scientists have collapsed.

The most intuitive manifestation is that countries' investment in basic science continues to decrease.

As the ghost era continues.

The development and exploration of aerospace technology has gradually fallen into silence.

The International Space Station of Banner State and Rakshasa has been determined to be no longer researched, developed, or updated after it expires.

All the massive deep space exploration projects have been cut in half!

Except for the Central Plains, all countries have lost their enthusiasm for landing on the moon. As for the Mars exploration project?

Even Zhongyuan was hesitant.

Because everyone is afraid, everyone is afraid.

Among the fearful stars, there are horrors that humans cannot understand and cannot overcome.

Also afraid of the unknown in deep space.

Especially when people continue to find through archaeological discoveries, it is proved that those things that existed in ancient times and are recorded in history books, but are considered to be legends, romances, and superstitions in modern times, probably did exist.

People can't help but ask: "So, where are the monsters in myths and legends now?"

People looked up and looked at the boundless universe.

Naturally, a possibility comes to mind—they may be hiding in deep space, in the universe.

Therefore, everyone will inevitably think: If we rashly alarm them, will it bring us disaster!

Many scientists have turned from this.

The so-called: The end of science is theology, and it is even more clamorous!
So, after taking a deep breath and calming himself down, the old professor took his mobile phone and typed tremblingly: "How do you prove it?"

The other party was silent for a moment, and then gave an answer that the old professor had no choice but to believe: "The person who said it was a new element...is that legendary 'immortal'!"

'Fairy'!
This legend has actually spread among the upper class.

At first, people scoffed.

You said yes?

Funny too!
But then, more and more evidence began to show that the 'immortal' is special.

Whether it is for the sake of cultivation, he transformed a suburban hill into an almost miraculous transformation.

The original ordinary hill and its surrounding environment have been transformed into an incredible aura gathering area!

Many people have been there to recuperate.

Those who came back believed in the immortal's words from now on!

Among them is the old professor's friend for many years, another great scientist at the academician level!
Then, something more incredible happened.

Especially the recent events have created a huge wave in society!
Tan Chengcheng!
A central provincial capital.

It may be very important in Jingnan Province, but from the perspective of the whole country, it is only a city at the end of the second tier or even the third tier.

The most famous ones are internet celebrities and boxers.

However, it is such a city, from the outside world, except for the food, it is not bad, and the other conditions are not so good.

But within a few days, it attracted a lot of foreign capital!

First, the Seven Stars Consortium moved in aggressively with high-profile official announcements.

Opening the mouth is "Blue Star Leading", one is to invest "[-] billion", and another is to "drive millions of jobs".

Then, Purdue Biotech, Hepburn Industries and other consortiums followed up.

The investment slogan is loud!
Most people are at a loss and don't understand what these international chaebols mean.

Many people even speculated on the Internet that these chaebols are probably just shouting slogans.

If the real investment lands, there will not be much.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Tancheng is not a place suitable for capital proliferation.

This morning, there was a sudden thunderclap.

A large number of well-known consortiums began to make official announcements about their large investment in Tancheng City.

Even the people of Bannerland made a request to establish a consulate in Tancheng City.

This is unusual.

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

I don't get it at all, what are the chaebols thinking?What else does Tancheng have that deserves their attention?

Only insiders know.

All this, just for one person.

However, this person is somewhat special.

There is a lot of fog on his body, which has not been able to be clarified so far.

Mainstream guesses that he may have two powerful origins!

Or the "immortal venerable" who came back from rebirth and lived another life.

Or a fairy from another universe or a parallel world.

The old professor forced himself to calm down, then typed and asked, "Where is that piece of metal now?"

"Do we have the opportunity to borrow it to study and study?"

If it is really new, it belongs to an element of a new cycle and a new element family that has never been discovered and proven.

The old professor felt that leaving a name in history was waving to him!

The entire human civilization and science will develop rapidly because of this new element and its related chemical and physical discoveries!
Human civilization will even turn a new page!
Cognition is unknown, research is unknown!
Then sum it up and make it a science!
