The Primordial Wizard

Chapter 194 General Theory of Combustion

After reading all the papers and verifying the experiment repeatedly, Ollie's eyes showed confusion and thought. Logan also discovered a unique gas called combustible air.

She unwrapped a roll of parchment and jotted down her thoughts.

First of all, it can be proved with certainty that the air is composed of at least three different kinds of gases, one can breathe and support combustion, the other cannot breathe and support combustion, and the third kind of air itself is combustible.

Secondly, the phlogiston theory holds that there is phlogiston in combustibles, but all quantitative experiments will find that caloric mass has no weight. When phosphorus is burned in air, there is no appreciable change in weight.

In the end, phlogiston has never been proven, but combustion may have another explanation.

It was as if a ray of light had hit Ollie. She seemed to be walking in a maze constructed of phlogiston, and was about to find a way out, but bumped her head against the wall again.

She found all the research papers on phlogiston in recent years like crazy, one by one, kept taking notes, and the sky gradually brightened.

In Fantasy Township, some wizards immersed in the competition gradually came back to their senses. They wrote Betty's new paper On Air and Fire, and their eyes gradually brightened.

Even Bru and others in the desolate Siracul applauded.

Bruce spit and stared wildly: This issue of Magic is a great one, we wizards have discovered three different types of air, stale air, fire air and combustible air!

Combustible air is what is combustible in the air, and fire air is what is necessary for combustion, it is the correct air.

With fire air, life can exist, we human beings need fire air to live, other animals cannot live without fire air, even plants will die without fire air.

Do you know what that means?

Luther shook his head vigorously, he knew too little about this theoretical knowledge.

Alan and Eva were thoughtful, and Bruce didn't let it go, he said loudly: Phlogiston is the foundation of life, and all our living things are essentially in a state of burning!

We are like slow-burning charcoal, we are like it except that it does not turn black, the combustion reaction is the cornerstone of our life, we are a living flame.

Allen questioned: I think breathing and burning do have something in common, but to directly think of us as a living fire,

I think it's an oversimplification of a complex issue.

Eva also said: Biology is definitely a very complicated structure. It is impossible to explain it completely with fire, but it is a way of thinking to create spells based on it. To kill the opponent, you only need to let the opponent's fire go out, and to heal the opponent. You need to let the fire filling.

Luther's head swelled, he shook his head, turned and left, and went to inspect the development of the people.

More and more elemental school wizards began to cheer, no matter how you look at it, this kind of discovery is a great discovery that can only be made based on the theory of phlogiston.

At this moment, Oli was still flipping through the piles of scrolls, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and her whole body was covered with a thin layer of light, as if blessed by some kind of power.

There is no need to do additional experiments, all the secrets are in this pile of research papers on phlogiston theory, Ollie's beautiful amber eyes are shining.

She rolled out a yellowed magic scroll, picked up a quill pen and wrote The General Theory of Burning.

Oli first reviewed the previous literature and put forward several important points:

Most of our research is quantitative, so we need to admit or assume a law, the law of indestructibility of matter.

I tried to put it this way, 'Since nothing can be created out of nothing by man-made or natural manipulations, so in each manipulation the total amount of matter existing before and after the manipulation is equal, and the quality and quantity of its elements remain the same, except that substitution and Deformation, this should be seen as an axiom. The whole art of all elemental experiments rests on the principle that we must assume that the elements of the body to be tested are exactly equal to those of the products of its decomposition. '

According to Lord Betty's On Air and Fire and the research of Bayern and others, I think it may be more appropriate to call the air of fire the air of life. In addition, they have discovered the following obvious facts:

First, when it burns, it emits fire or light;

Second, objects burn only in living air (fire air);

Thirdly, there is a 'destruction or disintegration of the living air' in combustion, and the increase in weight of the burning body is exactly equal to the weight of the 'destroyed and decomposed' air;

Fourthly, the body which has been burned becomes acid by the addition of substances which increase its weight;

Fifth, the vital air (fire-air) is the compound of fire or light and a base. The burning object removes the base when burning, because the burning object attracts the base far stronger than the heat capacity, so the heat mass combined with the base is released, which is manifested as flame, heat and light.

I think that although phlogiston can explain many phenomena very well, phlogiston itself cannot prove that even if phlogiston is removed, we can still explain combustion.

Not metal-phlogiston=burned ash, but metal+living air=burned ash.

The so-called adding phlogiston means removing vital air, and removing phlogiston means adding vital air. I call the vital air simply anger, and all combustion is a biochemical reaction.

The rich brilliance surrounds Oli, as if to celebrate that human beings have taken a step forward in their understanding of the world. Such a strong aura of the source awakens Ace, who is studying the structure of the astral compass, from the state of immersion.

He looked at the scattered fragments, put away the core of the fourth-level astrolabe, and then a flash appeared outside Oli's residence.

New theory?

The clone of the demigod Thoth had unknowingly appeared in the crowd, speaking softly with interest.

The wizards looked dignified. Such a strong aura of the source is slightly weaker than when the phlogiston theory was proposed, but it is almost comparable.

What could it be?

Bayern has already arrived, stroking his short beard and whispering.

After a while, intense light and heat suddenly erupted, and then disappeared. Betty and others also arrived one after another. Many wizards in the dream world, hearing that a new theory might be born, also came to watch.

Arnold walked out of the villa first, guarding the door with a vigilant expression.

Ace's eyes glowed white, his soul communicated with the wizard's subconscious sea, and he instantly felt Ollie's state, which was warm, hot, and soft.

That is light, that is heat, that is burning, this is a subversive theory, surrounded by secondary runes, it seems to be playing a gorgeous movement.

Oli's combustion theory assumes the law of indestructibility of matter, and based on this, puts forward a biochemical theory, that is, any combustion essentially reacts with living air.
