Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 146: The name of the element



Reiner Ian Gray?

For many mages who did not pay much attention to alchemy, this name was a bit unfamiliar to them.

But in the opening statement by President Demetrius, there were already many points worth discussing.

The Ernest conference was composed of a series of conferences, but in the conference held in this conference hall, there had not been any first-ring mage on stage to introduce papers in the past, and today, this fact was immediately broken.

At the same time, according to the introduction of President Demetrius, this paper was aimed at the law of elements. Many people looked at His Excellency Steinen who was sitting at the forefront. Everyone knew that he had published his own article on the law of elements in the previous issue of "Alchemy." But now it was not introduced by the legendary mage, but by an unfamiliar first-ring mage, which was really weird!

They didn't understand until Reiner slowly stepped onto the podium and took over the loudspeaker from President Demetrius.

This was the mage who walked in with His Excellency Demetrius earlier!

Some mages from Mercury Balance had already informed others about Reiner's identity in their discussions, but everyone was still puzzled. What was so powerful about his paper on the law of elements that it could even surpass the similar papers from the legendary mage?

With a quizzical look, Reiner stood in front of the stage with a stack of manuscripts in his hand. Due to the lighting, he could only see the expressions of the few legendary mages nearby. After taking a deep breath, Reiner spoke.

"First of all, I'd like to thank His Excellency Demetrius for giving me this opportunity to stand here and share my findings with you."

Reiner's voice was calm and confident, which made people feel that he was not an unknown first-ring mage, but more like an accomplished mage.

"The content of my research is the law of elements. Drawing from the basis of His Excellency Steinen's ordering of elements, I rearranged them according to the results of my own experiments, and at the end, I produced a table, a periodic table of elements."

Reiner presented the contents of his papers one by one, which was mixed with the results of Fina's father's research, which made many people very interested in the mage who put the electromagnetic magic circle into practice.

His speech was clear and organized, coupled with the presentation content of the paper that was constantly projected behind him, even a mage who was not engaged in related research could quickly understand the ideas and be amazed by it.

When Reiner mentioned that by relying on the predictions of the periodic table, they had successfully found two new elements, the whole conference hall was boiling with discussions.

In the past few decades, people could only rely on constant experiments to try their luck at finding new elements, but the emergence of the periodic table would completely change this history. From now on, people could search for new elements purposefully. This was a revolution in the alchemy system, and it was also a big step people had taken towards the truth.

The significance of the periodic table was not only that the laws of the elements were initially grasped by the mages, but also represented the achievements of the mages in exploring the laws of the world. This was a declaration that the mages would finally reap the victory through persistent exploration.

Listening to Reiner's speech, Hermann Braggs smiled slightly and whispered to the young man next to him.

"Isaris, he reminds me of you."

Fifty years ago, he was also such a teenager. He held a subversive essay and argued with several high-level mages. In ten years, he became a legend and created a legendary history.

"I think he is more like you, Your Excellency. I am still not calm enough. My recent research has fallen into a bottleneck, which makes me very anxious."

Isaris Alberton replied. He has been controversial since he became famous and recently, he had been studying some phenomena that could not be understood by common sense. But because of this, his popularity was much higher than that of other legendary mages. After all, people liked this young, vigorous, sharp and talented type.

"Speaking of it, this Reiner Ian Gray seems to have also proposed a paper on mathematics before. I have read a little bit. It is a brand new coordinate system. Isaris, your calculus theory might be able to learn something from it."

Braggs said again. He did not stop studying magic as many people imagined. In fact, his understanding of cutting-edge magic even exceeded that of many researchers in their field. He was also willing to accept emerging concepts. He had seen Reiner's polar coordinates paper in the Regens three laws of motion of celestial bodies, now he recommended it to Alberton.

"Okay, I'll check it seriously later."

Alberton nodded and turned his attention back to the podium.

At this time, Reiner had just about finished presenting the contents of his second paper. Since it did not involve the details of the spell and did not require on-site demonstrations, it was just an explanation, so the presentation speed was quite quick.

After finally summarizing the characteristics of the radioactive material, Reiner paused before continuing.

"Everyone, this is the end of my and Kailavin Napishtim's thesis, but I still want to take up some of your precious time."

Everyone in the conference hall listened quietly to Reiner's speech. No one expressed disagreement. In addition to their basic respect, they were also a little curious about what Reiner would say next.

"The author of this paper on the electromagnetic separation magic circle and radioactive elements, Mr. Kailavin Napishtim, has passed away due to harsh long-term experimental research. His whole life had been devoted to researching for the cure for the disease, Fitzruin Syndrome, that plagued his daughter."

Reiner said. Many people understood that this disease could not be cured at present and could only rely on time to gradually slow down the symptoms and achieve self-healing.

"Although Mr. Kailavin has passed away, the electromagnetic separation magic circle in this paper can still be submitted to the Magic Association. Mages can use money or academic points to redeem this spell for research. In practice, this money would be kept by his daughter."

All the mages nodded. The application prospects of this electromagnetic separation magic circle were very broad. In the future, any mage that was involved in element-related research would probably need to get this spell. This was not a small fortune, but it was what its inventor also deserved.

"It's just that, according to his daughter's wishes, she is willing to donate this money to set up a fund to help those who unfortunately suffer from Fitzruin Syndrome. She will also set up an award to commend those who are doing research on radioactive materials. The name of the award is the Kailavin Award."

Reiner had asked Fina's opinion before. The girl resolutely gave up the money that might be enough for her life's comfort and chose to contribute it to the happiness of more people.

When his voice fell, the entire conference hall was silent. Afterwards, led by His Excellency Braggs, all of the mages in the conference hall stood up and applauded. They applauded not only for Reiner's wonderful speech and paper, but also for the selfless spirit of the girl whose name they didn't know.

One week after the Ernest conference, Kailavin Napishtim's paper on electromagnetic separation magic circles and new elements was published in the latest issue of "Alchemy," as its lead paper.

The relative elemental mass of the new element was 39.98062, and the relative elemental mass of the stable isotope that was currently known was 38.00329.

To honor Kailavin Napishtim, this was the only one among the sixty-three known elements that was not named after the nouns found in the ancient magical books, but was named after the will of the discoverer.

This reminded people that its discovery originated from a father's love for his daughter.

The new element at the 18th position on the periodic table with the element name of "Fina".

This was an element that did not interfere with the outside world and quietly existed in a corner of the world, but under special conditions, this element could burst out intoxicating and brilliant light
