Chapter 381 Award Ceremony (Part 2)
Florence cried with joy when she returned to her position holding the tray, covering her face with her hands, tears dripping from her fingers.
The Alchemy Prize was awarded next, and the winner was Fritz, dean of the Alchemy School of Weissenburg University.
Frederick came to the stage again and began a relatively short award speech: "I have had a question since I was a child, why does meat cook when heated. I asked all over the castle and no one could answer it. This question has not yet been answered. Answer. Although we don’t know why meat is cooked, this does not prevent us from using this phenomenon for cooking.”
“I have a superficial study of alchemy, which is an ever-changing knowledge. Various substances will undergo different changes when combined together.”
"Atomic theory holds that all matter in the world is composed of atoms, and different atoms are combined into a wide variety of molecules. These molecules can be decomposed or combined, and there are millions of changes."
"When I was doing the experiment, I couldn't help but wonder, what is the fundamental principle of these changes?"
"I have a guess, whether there are hands on the surface of atoms, the combination reaction is hand-in-hand, and the decomposition reaction is hand-loosening. Open. These hands cannot be left empty. After they are released, they are held together according to a certain principle."
"This year's Golden Durian Alchemy Award will be awarded to "Magic Elements in Alchemy." Mr. Fritz, the author of "Catalysis and Passivation", has studied the role of different magic elements in alchemical reactions and provided theoretical guidance for changing alchemical conditions."
"I'm sure. , Thousands of years later, we have all turned into dust, and Lord Fritz’s achievements will still appear on the students’ examination papers.”
"Just now, when I walked on the stage, an idea suddenly appeared in my mind. According to Mr. Fritz's theory, does the catalyst affect the hands on the atoms?"
In Fritz After Lie finished his speech, Fritz quickly came on stage. Today, he was wearing a lab coat and hat. He had two pens with black and red ink and a pencil in his breast pocket, as if he was not here to receive an award. Yes, but to do experiments.
This is also a tradition for Wesson winners. If Florence knew that she was going to receive the award today, she would definitely wear her nurse uniform.
After taking the tray from Frederick's hand, Fritz began to give his acceptance speech: "The principal just gave me a difficult problem. This bold hypothesis is logical, but without careful verification, I cannot get it. Come to a conclusion whether it is correct."
"For thousands of years, countless alchemists have been looking for ways to make gold from cheap materials, and have achieved many results, except gold."
"Now times have changed, and I think alchemists should not continue to be obsessed with gold, because there are many things more valuable than gold."
This year's results of Fritz are too advanced to be displayed. After all, it is The technology that can reduce the reaction pressure of ammonia synthesis to several atmospheric pressures would have given Frederick the Nobel Prize, so only a brief overview has been made public.
Fritz was on the stage talking about how alchemists can make money. In the audience, his old friend Monnartz, the new industry minister of Wessen, nervously recited his acceptance speech silently. .
Omet teased him from the side: "It's not the first time I've won an award, so don't be so nervous."
Monnarz replied nervously: "This is my first time. Winning the award for the second time.”
In the past two years, he won the Alchemy Award for his technology in smelting magic metals. At the same time, he was not allowed to display the results because they were too advanced. He originally thought that he could win the Alchemy Award again for the new results he applied for this year. Unexpectedly, the Alchemy Award fell to Fritz at the last moment. On his head, his work won the Magic Award after temporarily excerpting the core part according to Psyche's suggestion.
Monalz has no objection to this. It is naturally better to win the Golden Durian Award in two fields at the same time. After Fritz stepped down, Psyche came on stage to serve as the presenter of the Magic Award. She said: "For thousands of years, countless magicians have devoted themselves to the study of the mutual movement between magic elements and matter, and achieved the 'sticky theory' and a series of results."
"Monnarz put forward a new theory in "The Relationship between Electricity Magic and Static Electricity" by studying the relationship between the two. The interaction between magical elements and material elements does not rely on invisible paste as a connector. They can penetrate and influence each other..."
Frederick was a little distracted in the audience, because Mongolia This achievement of Narz is very important. It provides a theoretical basis for high-efficiency electrolysis method under magic energy, which can greatly reduce energy consumption.
Apart from anything else, electrolytic aluminum can probably be put on the agenda.
Today's aluminum is extremely precious, and its refining relies on magicians to work miracles. First, the red soil containing aluminum hydroxide is purified as much as possible, and then the aluminum hydroxide is decomposed into oxide at a temperature of almost 1000 degrees Celsius. Aluminum is then heated to above 2200°C with carbon powder, and alumina and carbon powder generate aluminum element and carbon monoxide.
The first problem with this method is that it is a bit laborious. There are not many containers these days that can withstand more than 2,000 degrees Celsius. They are all maintained by manpower. Moreover, impurities and other products hinder the reaction, and the aluminum element is affected by the heat. Chemicalization and other reasons make the efficiency extremely low.
At this year's wedding between Prince Rudolf of the Rhine League and Princess Antonia of the Kingdom of Gaul, little Louis gave the couple a pair of aluminum cups on behalf of his father, which did not need to be inlaid with gems.
Frederick took out his notebook from his pocket and wrote "Electrolytic Aluminum" on a new page. Now no one on the planet except him and Psyche knew what it was.
After Monnarz came down, the oldest Baron Franz among the vassals of the Wesson family came on stage to present the biology award.
The winner is a middle-aged veterinarian named Zaro from the Caledonia region in the north of the Kingdom of England. After winning the award, he said excitedly: "Thank you Duke Wesson for your tolerance, thank you Pousse Thanks to Master Ke's guidance, thanks to Baron Monofro's help, and thanks to Sisi's encouragement and companionship, I, an expelled person, have a place to stay and perfect the technology of artificial insemination."
" I would like to thank Duke Wesson for his trust and the unusual appointment of me as the Director of the Animal Breeding Division of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of the Ministry of Agriculture."
Zarro thanked everyone on the stage, even the one raised by Monoflo. A fat lynx, it has now become the campus favorite of Weissenburg University.
Frederick smiled and nodded to him. He only knew who he was and what he was doing when he signed and approved the list of winners. In the past few years, his experiments have been promoted by Psyche.
Artificial insemination of livestock has many benefits. It has the advantages of greatly improving the breeding efficiency of excellent breeding animals, accelerating breed improvement, reducing feeding and management costs, and preventing the spread of diseases.
The difficulty of artificial insemination in Zaro's research is the dilution and storage conditions. Currently, 5% sugar water is used to dilute it about 20 times. The priests of the Church of Light perform the treatment every eight hours, at a lower temperature. It can be stored for more than five days, and the pregnancy rate reaches 80%.
Now that the living conditions in Wesson are moving forward steadily, the demand for meat is growing rapidly, and the army also has a great demand for draft horses. Breeding excellent breeds of livestock has always been the focus of agricultural work.
Frederick was thinking that it was time to tighten his belt and acquire better breeds of livestock to establish a specialized breeding farm.
The next medical award was awarded to a doctor from the dark land of the north. He made a general anesthesia anesthetic by extracting the active ingredients from the "Eat Sleep Mushroom" and calculated the dosage and dosage. The relationship between the effectiveness time and the user's weight, etc.
The physics prize was won by a scholar from Mingxing City in the Principality of Bain, who had made achievements in optics.
