Chapter 104： Rurik's element table (2)

Gold, silver and bronze are specially marked.

After hesitating for a while, Kravasson finally asked: "You label them like this, don't you mean that the three elements of gold, silver and copper belong to the same family? That's why they are softer than one of them!"

"Yes, it's a family. The more you go down, the more rare and softer. So you can understand that some bronzes are almost the same color as gold. They are a family. I can tell you that you now understand gold. No one else understands the nature of silver and bronze. Now I will continue to engrave it. Don’t worry, we are friends. In the days to come I will be happy to tell you more knowledge and answer your more doubts." First issue https: //https://

"Oh, that's great!" Kawei said excitedly.

"Let me continue carving."

Gold and silver are undoubtedly exciting. They are each other's family. This "truth" explanation directly enabled the two blacksmiths to have a deeper understanding of the preciousness of gold and silver.

Science is developing in depth, and science is also a process in which a theory overthrows another theory. The various theories that Rurik is now talking about are called "Odin’s Wisdom". They are better than those of the Holy See in both practical and philosophical terms. Both are more advanced, but it will inevitably be denied by better theories in hundreds of years.

The main element is widely used in ancient times, although the so-called element theory at that time can be called metaphysics. The ancients would summarize a lot of technologies, and in many cases, they would invent a metaphysical theory to prove the rationality of the technology.

After focusing on gold and silver, we still need to focus on tin and lead. Now that tin and lead are also in the same family, and even the same family as carbon, the two blacksmiths do not have any doubts.

Klavasson and Kawei have realized that the elements in the vertical row on Rurik’s table are all a family and must be related to each other.

Since lead is still going to be talked about, Rurik has to say a very crucial thing. In order to prove his own words more reasonable, he directly turned out the so-called history.

He specifically asked Clavasson, who should have been knowledgeable: "Do you know Rome?"

"I know it is very powerful and very rich, even stronger than the Franks."

Rurik was glad that Clavassen knew Rome, so he deliberately said: "In fact, there was only one Rome, and it split into two halves. These things are recorded on the priest's plank, and there is even a sheepskin in Roman script. Books. I know a lot when I read books, and because I get blessings from Odin, I know more of the truth.

The western half of Rome was destroyed, because those Romans became so stupid that they could not even walk, and they were defeated by the Franks. Why do they become waste, is it because they are cowards? "

Clavasson thought for a while: "Ruriek, you know. In our lives, cowards are not worthy of freedom, and cowards are servants of the strong. Just like your servant Lumia, her family All cowards, so she is your servant."

Of course Rurik didn’t discuss this with them. He settled and said: “The Romans in the West became stupid people, and they were conquered. Because they like to use lead so much, their lead is not only in bronze. They used lead to make weapons, and they directly used lead to make bowls and cups. Lead is not a good thing. It will turn people into idiots, and it will also prevent men and women from giving birth to children."

In order to make his explanation more reliable, Rurik deliberately said: "This is what Odin told me in my dream. I am very happy. Our tribe prefers iron. Only the priest has some bronze tools. In our future, we must not use too much lead in the future, especially for our bowls. It is best to be pottery."

The blacksmiths had no interest in the destruction of Rome, but Rurik claimed that "the use of lead leads to idiots", then this poisonous thing must be avoided, even if they didn't think lead was a dangerous thing before.

Is lead really poisonous?

Some seemingly harmless little things can quickly kill people. Clavasson has heard some sayings, such as certain terrible fruits that will die if you accidentally eat them.

Kravasson told Rurik frankly that he heard that Frank in the distance had some terrifying grass and fruit, which could make poisonous wine. Is it possible that lead just makes people become "castrated fools"? It seems that the toxicity of lead is more mild.

Lurik didn't know that the poisons in this space-time were actually plants, but he knew that the toxicology of all plants came from alkaloids.

Now that Kravasson had the intention, Rurik pointed directly at the blank space representing "arsenic": "This element is poisonous. It can be specially mixed with the air of life, and it becomes a kind of small stone like blood. As long as it is a small stone. People eat a smaller amount than nails, and soon people vomit blood and die."

"Huh? So scary?"

"It's so scary."

"Odin, why did he create such a substance?!"

Rurik felt that he couldn't make up anymore. He paused deliberately and muttered with a speculative attitude: "This is also part of Odin's wisdom. The human world has no eternity, there is no life, there is death, everything is In this way. So there are elements that give us life, and there are elements that can cause us to die. Just like this..."

As soon as 　　 Lurik patted his forehead, he marked the original blank "arsenic", the so-called "bring death".

He deliberately said: "This element is extremely difficult to find. If we can find this element that can bring death, I think we can let it infiltrate our sword. In this way, the sword is a poisonous sword, and it is caused by Odin. The cursed sword, anyone who has a small cut cut by him will die soon."

Klavasen and Kawei could not believe it at all, but according to Rurik's so-called iron-smelting principle, charcoal penetrates into the iron sword, making the sword flexible and hard. Infiltrating some elements that bring death, it becomes a "sword of death" is not logical.

Modifying a weapon and giving the enemy a small wound will eventually lead to the death of the enemy. It is never difficult to achieve this result. The simplest method is to dip the arrow in dung water before shooting an arrow. This dirty arrow hits the enemy's flesh. In an era without antibiotics, the dirt cannot be removed from the wound, and the enemy will almost certainly die of bacterial infection.

Lurik felt that he had made these words really mysterious.

But the real world is the most magical. Just like the heavy elements arranged downwards in the periodic table, they are too heavy. The outer electrons go crazy and want to rush out, and a large number of neutrons have to rush out. Therefore, condensing some elements becomes the most terrifying poison, achieving surreal killing.

These are also things that people in this time and space simply cannot understand.

Only now, Rurik knew that he could no longer speak, saying too much, except to gain some of their emotions, but they could not immediately make them understand and digest. The two iron swords were exposed to too much knowledge at a time, and it is far-fetched to expect them to accept it in a short time.

"Maybe we're here." Rurik gave a series of yawns. "We only need to make good use of the first elements. It's good. Blacksmith, now you at least know why my dagger is shiny and hard. ?"

Clavasson nodded: "I basically understand the principle, and my son and I will try it. Dear Rurik, now I'll make a sleeping nest for you. Before that, I just want to understand, Odin... we The great **** Odin, how many elements did he use atom to create."

"Here... there are 118." Rurik blurted out. Indeed, according to his understanding, humans can theoretically continue to make man-made elements based on the periodic table, and what humans do their best to make is No. 118.

"Really so many?!"

"That's all. Of course, if Odin wants to, he can make more." Rurik shook his head. "Maybe it doesn't make much sense to make more. It's like gold and silver. It's rare and precious. If it's scarce. They can be seen everywhere, why should we try to collect silver coins? I think Odin has a preference for the creation of the world, you and I shouldn’t bother about it. I sometimes even think that if we figure out the truth of these elements, we can sum up human beings. With all the knowledge of the world, have we learned Odin’s abilities in reverse? We are just mortals and thus become gods."

Cravason listened to it intentionally, his mind was cold, he didn't know that this kid had such ambitions.

"Liurik, be careful!"

"It doesn't get in the way." Rurik shook his head, "If Odin doesn't like us, why should he choose the heroes and why should he give me blessings? The only limitation that Odin gives us is the short life, which is only a few decades of life. But this is not a problem."

Leurik continued to point to the wooden board: "In the future, our descendants can find all the elements in this table and make more detailed annotations. So that each element has to be annotated with the lettering on the wooden board filled with a room.

And your ironing technique, you can describe the technique in words on the wooden board, so that the new generation of blacksmiths can learn the knowledge of his ancestors a long time ago. Our lives are very short, but we can leave a lot of things to the children. One day, we can understand all knowledge and use knowledge to do all things.

In this way, we will no longer be mortals, and our descendants will all learn the power of God. Man is God in the end. "

Rurik’s words are the most shocking. Cravason thought for a while, there is indeed some truth here.

He inadvertently murmured: "Maybe, you still need some students to learn the latest iron smelting skills."

"However, my son has inherited, and my children and grandchildren will inherit." Cravason retorted slightly.

"Not enough! When I become the leader, I will definitely find some students for you and order them to learn your skills. Our tribe needs more blacksmiths."

"Is this necessary?" Kravasson was quite dismissive. "Young people like to go treacherously and pursue wealth. Who would calm down and strike iron? Rurik, you are not a child, you get too much From the wisdom of Odin, you must be wiser than me. But you can’t think that those young people are also smart."

"Isn't a hard sword sold for 50 silver coins a lot of wealth? They may not be smart, and they will become smart after some education."

Being reminded by Rurik, Clavasson has to think about his own words.

"Well, my little lord. If it's your request, I'm totally happy to accept it. If you can find some students for me, I'll be happy to educate them." Clavasson's rough big hand patted Rurik's little head. "My little master, you have to rest at ease. Don't worry about anything. I will soon make the best leather scabbard for your dagger, and inlay your sword with the most gorgeous pattern."

"Thank you then."

Lurik has consumed his energy frantically, and his efforts have been fruitful.

The two blacksmiths have completely believed in his atomism and all the contents on the element table.

Not to mention the collection of the authenticity of the identity of Rurik’s “Otto Blessing”, Rurik’s interpretation of the human world and the elements that make up the world is obviously the most logical and realistic.

Craftsmen like blacksmiths, they are the most realistic people.

The ore is made into a sword, and the sword will rust when it gets wet. Now these magical things actually have quite realistic explanations.

They are no longer mysterious and can be controlled artificially by craftsmen.

Since this night, Kravasson has not hesitated to mark the wooden board with the traces of Liu Lik, and further chiseled with a carving knife, and finally smeared with toner grinding ink, which became the treasure of gold in the blacksmith's shop.

Lurik is very happy to see Kravasson and Kawei spontaneously aware of the importance of knowledge.

Of course, the two of them didn't listen to the nonsense of tapping their foreheads to gain knowledge and become gods.

They have been able to make more carbon steel swords independently, and they have fully understood the underlying principles.

In Rurik's view, various elements will be discovered sooner or later, and the periodic table is also the research result of countless ancestors.

With the continuous development of science and technology, scholars will inevitably compile the discovered elements into a table based on the properties of the elements that have been studied. In the end, Mendeleev made the most systematic and scientific perfection.

Interestingly, Mendeleev was a Russian, a mixed descendant of the Rus and the East Slavs.

So if the Rus people are allowed to use the fruits of their millennia descendants to gain some benefits, or get a major enlightenment, Rurik thinks it is also a good thing.

The life of the Ross people is too savage and rough, and similarly to the contact with his sister-in-law Peravina, he also learned that the East Slavs are not as good as the Ross people as a whole.

These two merging nations are extremely backward compared with the collapse of Rome. They must learn more to develop their own civilization.

Three days later, Rurik's dagger was plated with a beautiful pattern. The graceful patterns come from melted silver coins, and the complexity of the texture is something that Rurik never thought of.

Cravason with a big beard should be rough no matter how he looks, but he is a talent for fine processing.

The dagger is also equipped with a shiny bronze hilt, with a ruby ​​inlaid at the very end. This gem was a gift from Clavasson, and he felt that only this could make the iron-cut short sword more temperamental.

Klavasen’s stunts are also reflected in leather processing. Rurik’s dagger has a very good leather sheath with a copper-skin liner.

A long, thin leather belt strung the scabbard, and Rurik only needed a simple tie, and the scabbard and dagger were hung around his waist.

Any child of the Ross tribe should have his own weapon when he is twelve years old. Rurik used an exquisite sword several years earlier than the other children, and the frame was extremely gorgeous.

When he returned to his home, UU Reading showed his father Otto the latest products from the blacksmith shop. While the sword is gorgeous, the blade easily cuts the hardest jerky, which gave Rurik's parents in addition to shock, it was a great feeling.

Leurik, mortals don’t know how much knowledge this child knows.

Otto still prefers wealth, as long as he holds a pile of silver coins, he feels that life is very rich. He felt that with a large amount of gold and silver, with multiple wives and concubines, the ultimate happiness that a man can understand is probably that.

The son gave Odin’s wisdom to the blacksmith, and signed a contract with them, just like a contract with a priest. In the future, the brand new sword, one-tenth of the wealth will belong to the chief family.

Of course, as the most resourceful warrior of the tribe, Otto Gao Gao noticed that the new sword is only different in appearance from his own pattern "Destroyer", and they can both cut off ordinary iron swords.

Since the iron sword can be cut off, the iron armor or the iron shield must be cut off!

If the new iron sword can make more, more warriors in the tribe will have new treasures.

Father’s swords will be passed on to their sons. As long as the blacksmiths keep making them, one day, the warriors will fully equip these hard swords with bright white bodies named "stelsvard" by Rurik.

With these weapons, the Ross tribe even...

The old Otto deeply felt that the age of Rurik was coming, and his son was likely to bring military hegemony to the entire tribal alliance to the Ross tribe because of these magic weapons.

With military supremacy, all warriors will become extremely rich!
