Section 2 Alchemy
Don’t talk about emperors-I don’t want to compare with them;
I am a sage, I have the power to control nature,
At least people think I have that ability.
Based on this idea,
I feel I have unlimited power.
——"Albumaza"
"Science and Technology" International Academic Conference is located at the University of Santa South Asia. This giant ivory tower has a long history and has received a large amount of donations in recent years, so it has been able to expand its area and increase its facilities. Four hundred years ago, it has accommodated countless students' church style, as well as the Carlos dynasty-style yellow-brown ancient buildings and snow-white modern buildings, which are seamless and without conflict. The vast forest as the background and the green slopes like golf courses make this even more
Some buildings that have been separated by nearly five centuries are more solemn or beautiful. Young and energetic students are walking around in groups of buildings, occasionally mixed with a professor who is hurriedly carrying lesson plans and looks solemn. Recently, there are some outsiders, clothing and skin colors. They all have an identity card with photos on their bodies. Below is a miniature business card - with only names and countries, some of them will write about their majors.
They are all the best in the relevant academic fields from various countries. Here, whether they are formally sent by the country or attending the meeting in their personal capacity, people will list them in the name of their country and regard them as part of the country. To be honest, they are the wealth, shield, and weapons of their country. This comprehensive flow conference with a wide range of aspects can also be said to be a local war where there will be no blood and violence but will be divided into life and death to a certain extent. After all, this time, the academic will arrange group academic seminars and special seminars, discussions and debates, and even brainstorming academic conferences - a group of academic researchers who exchange their new ideas, new methods and new ideas around a specific academic issue.
Almost every place there are speeches, debates, and displays... This is like an international commodity fair, but the valuable knowledge for sale and purchase - of course, some people don't think so.
"Humans are such an indescribable stupid creature," said the provocateur. "How incredible, people who have received such a long time of education, knowledge and scientific concepts will actually give the most absurd and ridiculous tricks that have long been proven to be the most absurd and rumored to the fruit of greed in the tree of ignorance. You are preparing to combine base metals such as mercury, sulfur, and antimony into gold, or into a "universal elixir" to turn base metals into gold, or a panacea that can cure all diseases - behold, see..." He pounded the display with a disgust and contemptuous look at the display with beautiful luster: "Alchemy, such a discipline actually appears in a university, in such an international academic exchange conference - is this in Beverly's movie?
?So are there astrology, witchcraft and magic? How could a person who has studied or understood the history of science, or who has a knowledge of chemistry be fooled by such naive theory? Even in the Middle Ages, as long as he was greedy, a wise man would understand that no matter how hard, beaten, corrode, refine, and heated it... it could not become another substance, just like black iron cannot become gold anyway-of course," he said in a slightly slowed down his intense tone: "Alchemy objectively gave birth to reason and science, just as astrology gave birth to astronomy and cosmology, and witchcraft gave birth to medicine and psychology," the speaker shrugged indifferently: "This is its contribution, but this contribution does not indicate its greatness, but only its ridiculousness."
"If we define science as knowledge targeting an object of knowledge and consist of certain systems, we cannot say that alchemy is not science. Since alchemy studies nature and through experiments, it can be called natural science, or even the oldest natural science. This scientific program was once progressive and fruitful, but for some reason it degenerated... Now chemistry and physics occupy its original position. This may be blamed for the former alchemists, who were either stingy with their knowledge and wealth to others, or because they panic about their own achievements, and buried them in the disappearing time and dark graves because they were afraid that their achievements would bring disaster to mankind. This statement may be doubtful - did an alchemist not pursue a more perfect "philosopher's stone" with his lifelong passion, wisdom, hard work, strength, and wealth? But this is not difficult to understand - the death repentance of a nuclear physicist can explain everything.
But this does not mean that alchemy is dead—the degeneration and progress of a scientific program can be transformed over time. People are constantly discovering that what they find may completely shatter a mature theory, or another seemingly decaying it again. You may support the former, or the latter, but you cannot deny what was discovered—there is no immediate rationality in science. This sentence says that all conclusions must be confirmed after all arguments are put forward. What is the question? Exploration and research continue forever and expanding, and 'finally, all' must be pushed to an endless original-so at any time, any theory and scientific program should have the right to survive and develop, rather than suffocating to death under the suppression of authority and conservatism."
Even Feiren, even ao, does not exist forever - the undead thought indifferently, and this is the lich's desire for existence - what a wonderful interesting thing is it to understand, learn and explore endlessly?
He walked to the display stand and Alex's research team had synthesized nearly two hundred alloys through traditional alchemy, including a material with great use and research prospects and several materials that are more likely to be the subject of research. Electronic computers with computing speeds of 280.6 trillion times per second and humans have become more developed due to the increasing richness of foreign information. These modern alchemists have become more wings. In just ten years, they have produced very attractive results. Alex picked up a soft silver-white synthetic metal stick. It has a bright luster, softness, high oxidation, high melting point and completely anti-aqua regia corrosion, and can make hydrogen atoms easily pass in the correct order. This may solve the key problems of hydrogen fuel cells.
"I thought you were a fanatical believer of the saints," said one of the members of the Zeranian royal family viciously: "In essence, you are still an absolute heresy."
Alex put down the alloy, and Sartre's hostility made him feel a little confused.
What surprised him even more was still behind. The freelance writer muttered and suddenly rushed towards him, waving his fists.
Even if Wilderger had been "retreated" to three hundred feet by those terrible terms and theories, Alex would not allow his "body" to be defeated by a human - a human with no wisdom at all.
Sartre felt like he bumped into a heavy stone wall.
He was drowsy for a while, and when he woke up, Prince Sardinian's feet were unceremoniously placed on his back.
"Lily..." he shouted, "You bastard, ***, you sold her to the church!"
...
The undead raised his head, and he firmly believed that this plane did not have a spell similar to the time that stopped or time regressed. Even if there was an eight-year spell effective time...
"I'm sure," he said, "Your reflex arc is a bit...a bit long."
Alex replied politely.!~!
