Vol 4 Chapter 137: progress

On the fourth floor of the tower, in a slightly gloomy room.
Alarm bells rang from time to time, and the extremely complicated magic circle flashed with beige light, and shadow crows appeared out of thin air, spitting out the scrolls.
There was only one person in the whole room, with a six-pointed star badge on his chest. It seemed that he should be a senior wizard apprentice.
He skillfully poured magic power into the rune formation beside him, and more than twenty magical hands appeared out of thin air, quickly picking up a copy of the scroll:
"Elements, transfer to Lord Bayern and Lord Logan."
"Soul, turn..."
As some tired voices sounded, the individual scrolls fell into different teleportation positions, and flashed away.
The members of the Magic Council review panel are the best candidates for review, but limited to too many submissions, only senior wizard apprentices or formal wizards who have posted a piece of "Magic" are eligible for review by panel members. Other manuscripts are reviewed by "Magic" Senior wizard apprentices who have published thesis review, and those who are undecided can apply for review by panel members.
Reviewers are generally reviewed by two reviewers of the school (people who have published papers in "Magic"), and each makes independent judgments. If the dispute is too big, join the third review committee to judge until a small academic meeting is held to discuss and decide.
Betty's thesis carried her badge imprint, so it was directly assigned to Bayern and Logan, the founders of the new theory of element school.
On the seventh floor of the tower, there is a somewhat chaotic room with their respective glass test tubes and utensils. Logan’s big hat is set aside. He poured a bottle of purple reagent into the colorless and transparent reagent with a violent boom The explosion blasted the respective vessels in the laboratory to pieces.
The short old man Luo Gen stretched out his right hand, and an eggshell transparent magic crystal shield appeared, blocking the explosion.
"It failed again. It is too difficult to improve the life medicine."
Suddenly, he heard a bang bang bang on the barrier barrier outside the room, so he snapped his fingers, the barrier was cancelled, the window opened, and a black feather crow jumped in, gurgling out several paper scrolls. Turned around and flew away.
"Forget it, don't do experiments, read the paper and relax."
Logan muttered a word, surrounded by magic, and cleared the entire room of trash.
He looked through the papers, "Sulfur extraction by precipitation method", "Experiment of extracting silver salt by chloride precipitation", and "Several studies on phosphorus" are all researches conducted by senior wizard apprentices based on the new theory proposed by him and Bayern.
Logan glanced at random. They were all old acquaintances who had been in the "Magic" journal. Their thinking changed quickly. At this moment, Betty's paper attracted his attention.
The second ring badge belonging to Betty flickered like a burning sun. Logan opened the paper "A New Experiment on the Relationship between Flame and Air."
"Does Betty want to reconstruct the flame from the perspective of a new theory? Burning is an exotherm? This idea is very interesting. I need to repeat her experiment..."
In another room on the seventh floor of the high platform, Bayern also started his repeated experiment.
"Gunpowder can be burned in a vacuum, not only that, but it can also be burned under water. This is an amazing discovery. Can combustion be redefined. Is it an exothermic nature? Maybe you can discuss it with Betty."
In Logan's room, he made a glass ball inverted in the water, and a candle was lit inside. Logan used a glass siphon to make the water inside and outside the ball line up, and then quickly removed the siphon.
The water surface inside the ball rises, and when the candle goes out, there is still a lot of air left in the ball.
"Burning consumes air!"
Logan's eyes were filled with the light of discovery, and he paced left and right, thinking constantly.
"Can this remaining air support combustion? It's worth a try."
He reproduced the experiment and put the sulfur and camphor in the shelf in the ball in advance. After the candle was extinguished, he used the convex lens to heat the sulfur and camphor. The remaining air really couldn't support the burning of sulfur and camphor!
He then thought of suffocation. If the animal does not breathe, it will suffocate and die. Does the animal also need something in the air?
Logan put the mouse into the closed bladder membrane, and the decrease of the air inside can be seen from the inward pressure of the external pressure.
The mouse is put together with a lighted candle, and the mouse lives only half the time of the mouse without the candle. Due to the burning of the candle, the air is reduced by one-thirtieth, and a mouse causes the air to be reduced by one-fourth.
After the candle goes out, the mouse can live a little longer.
Logan also conducted experiments on animal blood. He placed fresh arterial blood in a vacuum environment. The arterial blood produced foam disease and released gas. If the blood circulation stops, no gas will be produced.
It was getting late and in the gloomy laboratory, Logan put his big hat on his head and exclaimed excitedly:
"Only part of the air is involved in the process of burning, and also only part of the air is involved in the process of breathing. The essence of the two processes of breathing and burning should be the same, and both are exothermic!
The superposition of saltpeter and air is the most important thing. It is used for breathing, and it is used for burning! "
Rogan enthusiastically recorded the results of his experiment and opened the door, only to find that Bayern and Betty were already waiting here.
Bayern looked at Logan with a smile and said to Betty: "I knew that Logan must have been fascinated by your magical experiment. He didn't find our magic signal at all."
"Come in~EbookFREE.me~ I did an extended experiment on Betty's experiment, and just got new results. The three of us discussed and discussed together."
Logan excitedly grabbed Betty and Bayern who were stepping on the mechanical disc, and pulled them into the room.
After repeating the experiment, Betty said in a sharp voice with joy: "That's it, the part of the air consumed in the air overlaps with a certain substance in the saltpeter. Logan, your research is great, you prove it Burning and breathing are phenomena of the same nature!"
Bayern also excitedly said: "According to the experiments of the three of us, mainly the results of Logan and Betty, we can come to the following conclusions that both burning and breathing need to consume some kind of object. This kind of object exists in saltpeter and also in the air. Both burning and breathing are exothermic phenomena, and the most important thing at the moment is this kind of consumed object!"
Betty nodded steadily: "I think the components of objects are air, water, and three types of soil. One is combustible soil, the other is tribute-like, and the third is soluble or glass-like. When burning The reaction started, and the combustible parts were burned.
I think this kind of combustible soil can be called phlogiston, that is, ‘fire quality and fire element instead of fire itself’. This phlogiston can consume combustion-supporting objects to achieve a combustion effect! "
