Chapter 194 General Theory of Combustion
After Oli read all the papers and repeated the experiments, he showed confusion and thought in his eyes. Logan also discovered a unique gas called combustible air.
She opened a roll of parchment and recorded her thoughts.
"First of all, it is certain that air consists of at least three different types of gases, one that can breathe and aid ignition, the other that cannot breathe and aid ignition, and the other that can be combustible by itself.
Secondly, the phlogistin theory believes that there is phlogistin in combustible substances, but all quantitative experiments will find that the heat mass has no weight. If phosphorus is burned in the air, there is no detectable change in weight.
In the end, phlogistin can never be proven, but there may be another explanation for combustion.”
It seemed like a ray of light hit Oli. She seemed to be walking in a maze constructed by phlogiston, about to find a way out, but hit the wall again.
She found all the research papers on phlogistin in recent years, reading them one by one, taking notes constantly, and the sky gradually became brighter.
In the "Fantasy Country", some wizards immersed in competition gradually came back to their senses. They read Betty's new paper "On Air and Fire" and their eyes gradually became brighter.
Even Bru and others, who were far away in the desolate Silakur, applauded.
Blu spits and stars fly: "This issue of Magic is a great issue. Our wizards discovered three different types of air, turbid air, fire air and combustible air!
Combustible air is the combustible substance in the air, while fire air is a necessary object for combustion. It is the correct air.
Only with fire air can life exist. We humans need fire air to live. Other animals cannot survive without fire air, and even plants will die if they lose fire air.
You know what this means?”
Luther's head shook hard, and he knew too little about the theoretical knowledge in this area.
Alan and Eva thought, and Bru did not keep it in hiding. He said loudly: "Phzone is the foundation of life, and all our living things are essentially in a state of burning!
We are like charcoal that is slowly roasted. Apart from not turning black, we are very similar to it. The combustion reaction is the cornerstone of our life, and we are a living flame."
Allen questioned: "I think breathing and burning do have something in common, but directly considering us a ball of active fire, I think this is simplifying the complexity."
Eva also said: "The creature is definitely a very complex structure, and it is impossible to explain it completely with fire, but if you create spells based on this, it is a way of thinking. Killing the opponent only requires extinguishing the opponent's fire, while healing the opponent requires filling the fire."
Luther's head swelled when he heard this. He shook his head, turned around and left, and went to inspect the people's pioneering situation.
More and more elementary school wizards began to cheer. No matter what they look at, this kind of discovery is a great discovery that can only be made based on the phlogistin theory.
At this moment, Oli was still flipping through piles of scrolls, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, and her whole body was covered with a thin layer of light, as if she was blessed by some kind of power.
There is no need to do any additional experiments, all the secrets are in this pile of phlogistin theory research papers, and Oli's beautiful amber eyes shine.
She spread out a yellowed magic scroll, picked up a quill and wrote "The General Theory of Burning".
Oli first reviewed the past literature and put forward several important points:
"Most of our research is quantitative methods, so we need to acknowledge or assume a law, the law of immortality of matter.
I tried to state that, ‘As artificial or natural operations cannot create anything out of nothing, in each operation, the total amount of matter that exists before and after the operation is equal, and the quality and quantity of its elements remain unchanged, and only changes and deformations occur, which should be regarded as an axiom. All the techniques of element experiments are based on the principle that we must assume that the elements of the object being checked and the elements of its decomposed product are exactly equal.’
According to the study of His Excellency Betty's "On Air and Fire" and Bayern and others, I think it may be more appropriate to call fire air the air as life air. In addition, we have discovered the following obvious facts:
First, when burning, fire or light is emitted;
Second, objects can only burn in the air of life;
Third, there is a 'destruction or decomposition of life air' when burning, and the increase in the weight of the burning object is exactly equal to the weight of the 'destroyed and decomposed' air;
Fourth, the burned object becomes acid due to the addition of substances that increase its weight;
Fifth, life air is a compound of fire or light and a base. The burning object takes this base when it is burned, because the force of the burning object attracts this base is much stronger than the heat capacity, so the heat mass combined with the base is released and manifested as flame, heat and light.
I think although phlogistin explains many phenomena well, it cannot prove that even if phlogistin is removed, we can still explain combustion.
It is not metal-phlogistin = calcined ash, but metal + life air = calcined ash.
The so-called addition of phlogistin is to remove the air of life. Removing phlogistin is to add the air of life. I simply call the air of life 'qi', and all combustion is a biochemical reaction."
The rich light surrounds Oli, as if celebrating the human understanding of the world, and such a strong breath of great source awakens Ace, who is studying the structure of the astral compass, from an immersion state.
He looked at the scattered fragments, put away the fourth-level astrological core, and then flashed outside Oli's residence.
"New Theory?"
The clone of the demigod Tot had appeared in the crowd without realizing it, and said softly with interest.
The wizards looked solemn. Such a strong breath of the big source is slightly weaker than when the phlogistin theory was proposed, but it is almost comparable.
“What would it be?”
Bayern had arrived and whispered in a low beard.
After a while, violent light and heat suddenly burst out and then disappeared. Betty and others also arrived one after another. Many wizards in the dream world heard that a new theory might be born, and they also came to watch.
Arnold walked out of the villa first and stood guard at the door with a warning expression.
Ace's eyes burst out with white light, his soul communicated with the wizard's subconscious sea, and he instantly felt Oli's state, which was warm, hot, and soft.
That is light, that is heat, that is burning, this is a subversive theory, and the second-level runes are surrounding it, as if playing a gorgeous movement.
Oli's theory of combustion assumes the law of immortality of matter and proposes a biochemical theory based on this, that is, any combustion essentially reacts with the air of life.
