Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1093 Transformation

  Before the Russian Mendeleev, many people tried to arrange the periodic table of the elements, but these tables have never been popularized.

  Mendeleev loved to play poker since he was a child, and he often kept his hands together. For this reason, his parents and teachers were very angry, thinking that this child would not have much success in playing cards like this. Mendeleev admitted that he likes to play poker. One day he did not invite card friends and played cards at home alone. However, this kind of poker is different from ordinary poker because it is composed of elements.

Mendeleev lined up these playing cards day and night. A few days later, one of his colleagues was worried that he would die at home, so he came to visit him. At that time, Mendeleev was not far from going crazy, and he actually treated his colleagues. Said that he dreamed of playing cards dancing.

  There are 63 known elements at the time, and there are many elements that have not been discovered. Mendeleev recorded the order of the playing cards in his dream, and he has not yet found an empty card in the corresponding position of the element. He predicted 11 undiscovered elements in total, plus the 63 elements that have been discovered, so The entire deck reached 74 cards.

  No one believed him at the beginning, until people later discovered the 11 elements in his prophecy based on his periodic table, that people began to believe what he said.

People have discovered 18 new elements based on the periodic law he discovered. In addition to the previous 74, there are 92 natural elements in the universe. The elements after uranium 92 are not formed naturally. It is a man-made element and does not exist in the universe.

  The elements from 1 to 92 are all over the universe and are not unique to the earth. The production of these elements is related to the Big Bang and supernova explosions.

  The elements after the generation of iron element 26 require the death of massive stars, and the universe does not always have the death of large stars, so the heavier the element, the less content in the universe.

  The sun is at least the second generation of stars, which means that before the formation of the sun and the solar system, the universe was full of various elements.

  Now a Muggle middle school student also knows that the type of element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus. Elements 1 to 92 have all been discovered, and protons are not like platforms, nine and three quarters can appear.

  Muggle scientists discovered that quarks are particles. A proton consists of 3 quarks. If the elements can be divided into a more microscopic world, then there may be more elements waiting to "fill in the blanks".

  However, no matter how detailed humans observe particles in the future, there will not be half a proton or a quarter of a proton. At most, quarks can only be represented as one-third of protons, and quarks will not exist alone without protons.

  The inside of the nucleus is not calm and waveless. Electromagnetic force has been trying to take the protons away from the nucleus, and the positively charged protons are also squeezing out protons because of the same **** repulsion.

When protons are pushed out, the element becomes a new element. The process of emitting protons and neutrons from the nucleus is called decay. The time of this decay is called half-life. These elements in the decay period are like pianos. There are many notes of the same name in the tone list on the black keys.

  These elements are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons and almost the same chemical properties, but different atomic weights and masses. They are also divided into natural isotopes and man-made isotopes, but the isotopes still occupy the same position on the periodic table.

  The principle of a nuclear power plant is that the heat source generated by nuclear fuel heats water and converts it into steam. The steam drives a steam turbine, and the steam turbine drives a generator to generate electricity. In essence, it is not much different from a carbon-burning steam engine, except that it is more dangerous and the waste is much more difficult to handle.

  The uranium rod used in the reactor is natural uranium, and its harm to the human body is almost negligible. Fission can also be said to be decay. The process of decay also generates heat, but this process is long-term and takes billions of years. Fission is a short-term violent reaction that generates high heat. The high heat generated by fission is the power station of nuclear power plants. It's needed.

  The stars in the universe emit light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions. The temperature of the universe outside the stars is very low, which is said to be more than minus 270 degrees.

  In 1912, the British Scott expedition ship was on the way to Antarctica. The weather was very cold, but the kerosene used for heating leaked out, so that all the expedition members froze to death on the Antarctic ice sheet.

  When investigating, it was discovered that the iron drum filled with kerosene was leaking. This is still a more civilized and elegant way to die, and the expedition team had to adopt more extreme methods to survive because the cans expired.

  In 1813, Tang Jin invented the tin casting sealing method, so that the food does not come in contact with the air, and there is no need to worry about its deterioration.

  Queen Charlotte tried a can of corned beef, which was greatly appreciated, and Tang Jin mass-produced them and sold them to the Navy.

  Whether it's because of a lack of diesel fuel or because of food spoilage, the unlucky explorers get this kind of tin-welded "cans."

Tin is a silver-white metal at room temperature. At minus 33 degrees, white tin will transform into gray tin. This phenomenon was first discovered by Aristotle. He called it the tin plague. Once it is exposed to a tin plate with a "tin plague" Contact, the originally "healthy" tin plate will also produce gray spots and gradually rot away.

  In the winter of the 19th century, Russia was extremely cold. The military warehouse keeper issued a brand-new military coat to the army. After the officers and soldiers received this batch of military coats, they found that all the military coats had no buttons. They were very angry, so they appealed to the czar.

  The czar was furious and ordered the minister who supervised the military uniform to be severely punished. The minister begged the czar to allow him a few days to allow him to investigate. When the minister arrived at the warehouse, he saw that the other uniforms were unbuttoned. The administrator told him that the army had a button when it was loaded into the warehouse.

  The minister was very surprised. He watched it carefully for a while and found that there were no cut marks on the thread of the buttons, except that there was a small pile of gray powder at each button. The administrator told him that the original buttons on the uniform were made of tin.

  The minister was puzzled and found the Petersburg Academy of Sciences, asking scholars to explain.

  At first no one could answer this question. Later, a scholar said that he could solve it. After meeting the czar, the scholar said that the tin button turned into powder because it was frozen in the sky. The czar didn't believe it, so he ordered a tin jug and placed it on a stone table in the icy and snowy garden.

  A few days later, the young man and the minister accompanied the tsar to the garden to observe the tin pot. The tin pot was still there, and the tsar and ministers glared at the scholars. He walked up to the tin jug with confidence, and gently stabbed it with his fingers. The tin jug collapsed like a pile of sand and turned into a pile of powder.

  This is just a story, because in the 19th century Mendeleev served as an associate professor at the University of Petersburg, and some people even compiled the protagonist of this story as Mendeleev. Others linked Napoleon's defeat to tin. Napoleon broke Moscow because the buttons of the French soldiers' uniforms were made of metal tin. These silver-colored buttons disappeared mysteriously in Russia in the cold weather. In Moscow, where the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, there is no fighting power.

  There are many legendary discoveries that will be adapted into stories, but in fact the process of exploration is extremely boring and not interesting at all. The road to climb the peak of science is a hard and tortuous road.

  The crystal of white tin is a tetragonal crystal structure, which is metallic, and the crystal structure of gray tin is the same as the crystal structure similar to diamond, silicon and germanium.

  As the temperature approaches absolute zero, the movement of atoms becomes slower and slower, and some unimaginable situations will occur at room temperature.

  Similarly under high temperature and high pressure, non-metals will also have metallic properties. This abnormal material system will not appear in the textbooks of middle school students like the periodic table anyway.

"The Dark Lord used your body to go to Padua to observe a few lessons. He felt that tin would not be the metal we were looking for to go to heaven." Severus leaned on a cigarette and said, "Even as one of the sacred seven metals. Six of them have already appeared."

   "You don't believe this." Pomona said lazily, leaning on his shoulder.

   "I didn't study alchemy when I was studying, although Slughorn suggested that I take it as an elective."

  Alchemy is an elective course for Hogwarts grades six and seven. Not everyone can learn it. After Slughorn left, this course was controlled by the Transfiguration Department.

  Severus is a genius in potions, but his knowledge of alchemy mainly comes from Dumbledore, and Dumbledore’s research direction is transforming and transforming magic.

  Hermione should be able to choose alchemy in theory. After all, she made a fake Jin Jialong in the fifth grade. The strange thing is that no mentor is willing to take her.

  "Do you think that solar gold is a new element created by Monganez Hagrid?" Pomona asked.

   "I don't know, I always thought he was a legend."

   "God's path is hard to find, but it will flash out in the gloom of unfortunate life." She whispered, "That was written on the last door."

  "Remove the non-metals from the periodic table, there are 90 kinds." Severus said.

   "Also get rid of the artificial ones." Pomona smiled and said, "Vanilla ice cream without 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, only natural vanillin."

  "You have only found a laugh now, and the dinosaurs react faster than you."

   "Wait, let me think about it, because I stepped on the tail of the brontosaurus. It takes three minutes to feel it?"

   Severus smirked, "You are so smart."

   "That's you who lied to me!" Pomona glared at the snot, he and Lily both went to Muggle school, and always cheated her with fake "common sense".

   "This is not what I said, it was Lily." The big liar was serious and corrected "And she didn't lie to you, she thinks so too."

   "Really?"

"of course."

  Pomona looked at him, wanting to see some clues on his face.

  However, the old bat is a double agent. His acting skills are first-rate. Both Albus and Voldemort have been deceived by him. She sees no problems on his face.

   "Asshole!" She cursed with dissatisfaction just like everyone else.

   Is it fun to play with people?

   Pomona’s anger entertained the Slytherin Dean. He smiled so triumphantly that he showed yellow teeth, which made people want to punch him.
