Closing the door, Richard walked back to the courtyard.

However, after walking back to the courtyard, he did not immediately enter the room, but continued to look at the night sky and think, thinking about many things:

To be honest, after leaving White Rock City and coming to the north, he thought that he might run into the mysterious organization again. It's just that I didn't expect to meet so soon, and there was the first indirect contact here in Florent.

In that case, he would have to be prepared to prevent something worse from happening.

Letting Mu En investigate secretly is a response.

In addition, the exploration of the secrets of the Black Spirit Empire cannot be abandoned.

On the one hand, he has invested too much in this, and if he gives up now, the sunk cost is too high.

On the other hand, he received far more benefits from the secrets of the Black Spirit Empire than expected - the Garden of Eden, the Stored Staff, the Lord of the Spell Wind, the Spell Shadow Cloak, the Spell Gaze Eye, the improvement of the Fourth Form Shield, the improvement of the power system in the Garden of Eden, the Feather of Judgment given by the Joker, and so on.

According to the information gathered so far, he can deduce that there is definitely a shocking truth behind the secret of the Black Spirit Empire.

If he can really crack it, even if he can't get much strength progress, it can greatly help him understand the unknown history of the East Coast, and help him achieve his ultimate goal - to figure out the true face of the world.

Of course, the exploration of the secrets of the Black Spirit Empire is not the whole story. He'll put some of his energy into it, but won't be completely swayed by it.

At present, what is more important than the secret exploration of the Black Spirit Empire is to continue to study spell materials, get certain results, and use them on yourself, so that if you really have conflicts with the members of the mysterious organization in the future, you will have more confidence.

With that in mind, Richard walked towards the room.

......

Eden.

Richard entered, and then walked straight to the research room in the machining sector.

"Da Da Da ......"

After taking a quick step into the research room, Richard saw a fist-sized gray-white metal ball on the table in the research room, which was the result of several days of research - a special alloy made of metal palladium and a variety of metals mixed in different proportions.

Because it is the product of one hundred and seven attempts, it is named Alloy 107.

Compared with the first research products, this 107 alloy has made a lot of progress, and the effect is much better. According to the analogy, success is the boiling of water, which used to boil the water halfway, but now it boils the water to a level of about 80%, or even close to 90%.

But no matter how close, the water did not boil.

Without boiling, there is no success, and this is the same as water in a steam engine - only boiling water can produce violent steam to drive a steam engine, and almost no boiling water is of no use.

Therefore, there is an urgent problem to be solved now: how to continue to improve Alloy 107 and make it the expected and successful spell material.

"It seems that the amount of palladium metal needs to be adjusted continuously. Richard said, walked to the research room, opened the iron box there, took out a piece of silver palladium metal, and rubbed the surface with his hands, while carefully sorting out his thoughts, "In addition to the metal palladium, the content of other platinum group metals should also be adjusted, after all, platinum group metals are very special ......."

After speaking, Richard got busy and used a large number of platinum group metals to conduct experiments.

And the reason why it must be difficult to get along with platinum group metals is the result of Richard's careful consideration.

The spell material he is currently trying to craft is one of the ones mentioned in the Island Treasure, which, according to the records on the scroll, has a special effect on gas, and if it is crafted, it has many special uses.

It has a special effect on gases!

As far as he knows, there are many metals that have special effects on gases, and platinum group metals are the most special one.

Most platinum group metals have the effect of absorbing gases. In particular, palladium metal has the strongest absorption capacity, and 1 volume of palladium can absorb 900 to 2800 volumes of hydrogen at room temperature.

900 to 2800 volumes?

That's an exaggerated figure, equivalent to compressing thousands of times more hydrogen into a small piece of palladium.

For example, what would happen if a small piece of palladium metal continued to absorb more hydrogen under the combined action of the rest of the platinum group metals, magic patterns, and free energy elements?

This made Richard can't help but think of something, a thing that stays at the top of modern earth technology, and a thing that only exists in theory and cannot be broken so far - metallic hydrogen.

Hydrogenium!

What is the highest release of chemical energy on Earth?

Dynamite?

TNT, Hesokin, Tai'an, Octojin, CL-20, DNAF?

Or is it the pinnacle of explosives, the pentazole anionic salt, the original version of the spell salt?

Not at all!

Above the explosives, there is a crushing existence, the pinnacle of the pinnacle, which no substance can compete with except a nuclear explosion, and that is - metallic hydrogen!

The three words metallic hydrogen are easy to understand, just like ice cubes.

Vapor is compressed and cooled into water, and water is compressed and cooled into ice. Then, the hydrogen is compressed and cooled into liquid hydrogen, and the liquid hydrogen is compressed and cooled into metallic hydrogen.

In theory, this is true, but in practice, it is almost impossible.

Metallic hydrogen is the highest-energy energy storage substance under the existing scientific and technological theory system, and when it explodes, the energy released is several orders of magnitude of ordinary explosives - this is almost the difference between an elite soldier who has experienced a hundred battles and a baby waiting to be fed.

If the synthesis of metallic hydrogen is successful, then the entire power system can be reformed, the fuel efficiency of transport rockets will be greatly improved, and the space age will be promoted, and the fourth generation of nuclear weapons will be developed...... Wait until.

And the synthesis of such metallic hydrogen is naturally extremely difficult, and scientists on Earth have been stumped for nearly a century.

More than 80 years ago, scientists on Earth predicted that metal hydrogen could be synthesized under the condition of 25 GPa.

25GPa, in other words, is 25,000,000KPa, and the standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325kPa, which is almost 250,000 times the atmospheric pressure.

This is already an exaggerated figure, and with the continuous progress of science and technology and the deepening of research, the conditions under which solid hydrogen can be transformed into metal have been continuously improved, from 250,000 atmospheres to about 5 million times the pressure.

In order to be able to generate such a large pressure, scientists on Earth once developed an absolute black technology product - diamond to top anvil (DAC) - consisting of a pair of diamond pair top anvil and sealing gasket.

Due to the small contact surface between the two diamonds, the diamonds are hard enough to achieve the desired ultra-high pressure conditions by extreme compression.

However, with the use of black technology such as diamond anvil, metallic hydrogen has not been produced, because the production of metallic hydrogen is not just a matter of high pressure, and there are many harsh conditions - at least on earth.

And what about in the current wizarding world?

Is it just as difficult to possess the effects of a spell and possess a large number of super-heavy nuclear stabilization island elements (free energy elements) that do not exist on Earth?

Or maybe it's a little simpler?

Could it be that the spell material recorded on the scroll is similar to metallic hydrogen, or is it more powerful than metallic hydrogen, and has some effects that do not exist on earth?

Richard thought, operating.
