The study is not very large, smaller than in the castle, but it is very well furnished: desks, wooden chairs, bookcases, wooden shelves, oil lamps......

Lighting the oil lamp to illuminate everything in the study, Richard took several papyrus scrolls from the bookcase, spread them out on the table, and then took the quill and inkwell from the wooden shelf and placed them on the table.

By the light of the oil lamp, Richard looked at a papyrus scroll spread out on the table, which was some research speculation about mana the other day, and it was full of handwriting. 's gaze fell on it, and Richard read it softly.

"What is the nature of mana? What is the nature of free energy elements? Since they can be used to cast spells and produce some kind of change, does it mean that they are a substance, a special substance, a substance that has not been found on the modern earth?

In other words, could the free energy elements be chemical elements, or special chemical elements that have not yet been discovered on the modern earth?

As we all know, all substances are composed of elements, hydrogen and oxygen make up water molecules, and then form more than half of the components in the body. The same goes for the rest, the numerous elements, which make up everything in the material world.

The modern earth is constantly exploring the elements.

In 1789, the French aristocrat Antoine Lavoisier published a list of 33 chemical elements, which was the first exploration. Later, in 1869, Dmitry Mendeleev, a professor of Russian chemistry, published a periodic table of 63 elements, laying the foundation for the development of chemical elements. Since then, chemical elements have been added to the periodic table, from 63 at the beginning, to a huge family of 118 chemical elements.

However, this does not mean that we have a comprehensive understanding of these 118 elements.

Of the 118 chemical elements, only 98 elements from 1 to 98 are present in nature: 84 are protonuclides, and the other 14 occur in the decay chain of the primary element.

Starting from the 99th element to the 118th element Qi Ao (Oganesson, Og, Chinese Simplified Chinese is a word, upper qi and lower ao, but cannot be displayed), these 20 elements do not exist in nature under normal circumstances, and can only be obtained through artificial synthesis. Even if it is crafted, it will disappear quickly. This is because these elements are highly radioactive and decay rapidly into the rest of the elements, making them almost impossible to study.

For example, the 99th element einthony, found in the remnants of the first hydrogen bomb explosion on modern Earth in 1952, was named after physicist Albert Einstein. With a half-life of 20.47 days, its isotope Germanium-253 loses 3% of its mass every day and will soon decay into berkelium and californium, which is very difficult to preserve, and it is even more difficult to study. Because one second when it was put into the machine, it was still eintomanium, and when it was taken out of the machine the next second, it had become berkelium and californium.

Another example is the No. 118 element Qi Ao, which was confirmed and discovered by Modern Earth in December 2015, and the decay time is in the order of milliseconds, that is, about one thousandth of a second. Compared to the neinium, Qi Ao didn't even have time to put it in the machine, and it couldn't even be observed. The shortest time for the human eye to recognize an object is 0.04 seconds, and before the human eye reacts, the qi has decayed dozens of times. For the gas mystery, scientists can only use a series of data to prove that it was made, and can only say, 'Look, the gas mystery once existed here', but not say, 'Look, this is the gas mystery'.

Therefore, for most of the elements after the 99th element of eintonia, it is temporarily impossible to observe and study on the macroscopic scale on the modern earth. As for the elements behind Element No. 118, they cannot be synthesized due to technical problems.

However, there is no way to observe and study at the macro scale, which does not mean that the elements have no properties, because the technology is underdeveloped and cannot synthesize the elements, it does not mean that the elements do not exist.

In fact, no matter whether the level of technology is advanced or not, the elements are there. It's like Uranus, Neptune, because the astronomical level is not reached, it can't be discovered for thousands of years, but it's there.

From this, is it possible to boldly guess that the free energy element is the special element after the 118th element Qi Ao, which has not yet been discovered on the modern earth?

This speculation is highly probable.

In fact, according to a series of studies on superheavy elements on the modern earth, there is a common conclusion that as the number of sequences increases, there will be some kind of magical change in the superheavy elements that will be found in the future.

According to the Bohr model, v=Zac≈Zc/137.036.

Z is the atomic order, c is the speed of light, α is the fine structure constant, and v is the velocity of electrons within the element. In this model, when the atomic number is greater than 137, the speed of electrons inside the element exceeds the speed of light, and it begins to have a relativistic effect.

According to the Dirac equation, E=mc2·√1-Z2a2.

When the atomic number is greater than 137, the wave function of Dirac's ground state will become wave dynamic, with no gaps between the positive and negative energy ranges, similar to the Klein paradox. That is, relativistic particles can easily pass through the high and wide barrier, with a success rate of up to 100%, resulting in miraculous phenomena such as massless Dirac quasiparticles in graphene.

In summary, in other words, elements with higher serial numbers exist theoretically, and they will have a series of magical properties.

In addition, according to the theory of 'superheavy nuclear stability island' on modern Earth, the nucleus will have a higher stability near an element in a higher sequence, and there may be a 'stable island' composed of hundreds of superheavy element nuclei around it. The overweight elements located in the 'stability island' will be delayed, resulting in a much longer period of time in the environment, up to several hours or even days, so that they can be stored, studied, and used.

These are exactly the same as the free energy elements. ”

"Whew", exhaling lightly, Richard finished reading the contents of the scroll recorded the other day, put it aside, took a blank scroll in front of him, held the quill pen, thought for a moment, and continued to write.

"Rustling ......"

"In summary, a hypothetical inference can be made that the free energy element is a superheavy element with a higher sequence number that has not yet been found on Earth.

Under this hypothetical corollary, sorcery is like a chemical reaction.

Just like some ordinary elements after the combination, a specific reaction will occur when they come into contact with each other, such as sodium and water reaction will explode. In the same way, some free energy elements will react with each other, and certain phenomena will also occur, such as explosion, freezing, or acid etching, which is the so-called magic effect. ”

The quill in Richard's hand paused slightly, thinking, and his eyes lit up. After a moment, the quill pen in his hand fell, and he continued to write.
