I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 396 - 384: Methods to Break Down Atoms and the Demon Stone!
Harrov’s words instantly stirred up the enthusiasm of the wizards.
This was the Corona Medal, the highest honor in the wizarding world; whoever received it would be recorded in history and become the next magic star in the spotlight - and now this opportunity lay before them!
Rafael and the other grand wizards began to ponder how they should dissect and destroy the elements.
The official wizards, not daring to hope for the Corona Medal, quickly set their sights on the Element Ranking Table.
There are, after all, a total of forty-nine basic elements. By researching just the data of two or three elements, one could at least secure a nomination for the Morning Star Medal!
About ten minutes into the discussion, the first to speak was Adela, who had developed the theory of ’fire elements’!
Although Lynn’s Undying Flame had thoroughly slapped him in the face last time, making the ’Three Laws of Flame’ full of holes, Adela had not faltered but instead absorbed some of Lynn’s theories about combustion to propose the more rigorous ’Three Elements of Fire’!
His idea this time was simple: using intense high temperatures to disrupt atoms!

During his research on flame magic, Adela found that high temperatures could dissociate a substance into its basic atomic form. Even steel would see its structure disrupted at thousands of degrees; so, if the temperature continued to climb, perhaps atoms could be dissociated as well!
"We can use magic power to bind a large number of elements within a fixed space, continually raising the temperature - if ten thousand degrees won’t work, then fifty thousand, if that’s not enough, one hundred thousand, or even two hundred or three hundred thousand degrees!"
Adela said excitedly, pounding his fist heavily on the table. "Even the most durable elements have a limit, and our job is to find and break that limit!"
"A very good idea!" Rafael and the others were impressed; as of yet, no upper limit to temperature had been found, so Adela’s proposal held great feasibility.
The advantage of this method is that it can combine the strengths of many, with several grand wizards working together to raise the temperature to an unimaginable level.
"I think maybe we could try thunder magic," suggested Anthony, who was sitting nearby.
Thunder elements are much smaller than basic elements, and using thunder to destroy basic elements might be a good choice!
With the power of collective wisdom, many strange and quirky ideas were quickly brought up, such as applying pressure to an extremely tough material to crush the atoms, or using magic to accelerate two elements colliding with each other, or even spatial cutting, and so on...
"Master Lynn, what do you think?" As the debate grew more intense, Sanchez turned to Lynn, who had remained silent until then, and asked.
This distinguished magic star was famously resourceful; his previous work with beam calculations and gravity constant experimentation had left them all in awe!
Now, this silence was quite unexpected to Sanchez.
At these words, everyone in the room also looked over.
Under their rapt attention, Lynn spoke thoughtfully. "I believe that everyone’s proposals have a certain feasibility, but specific methods of atomic decomposition still need further experimentation for validation."
"However, one thing is equally important as the analysis of element structures, and that is the discovery of new elements!"
Lynn did not believe that there were only so few atomic species in this world. Previously, Wizards thought there were only forty-nine basic elements, which was because Wizard Land was simply too small. Now that they had come to the kingdom, perhaps they could find even more and newer elements!
...
Driven by the triple threat from the church’s intimidation, the investigation into the truths of magic, and the pursuit of endless glory, Wizards burst forth with unimaginable enthusiasm. After returning, they no longer cared for sleep, each eagerly putting their unique ideas into practice!
First was the measurement of atomic mass, led by Harrov himself, with a group of Wizards skilled in Force Field Magic, who created a vacuum domain, and then applied formulas to make calculations through spatial perception.
Vittorio was invited by Adela to prepare for the arrangement of a powerful Alchemy Array to generate a massive amount of high temperature for dissociating the atoms.
Anthony also gathered the Wizards of his school, aiming to start with Thunder Magic. Besides, he was extremely interested in the question of why atoms repelled each other and maintained a minimum distance from one another.
This made him think of the repulsion phenomenon caused by magnetism.
Under such a research frenzy, nearly every day saw novel academic papers published in the Magic Newspaper, and even the citizens of the capital were overjoyed.
It wasn’t that they could understand these intriguing new theories of magic, but the capital had announced a new decree: the Wizards wanted to find some new elements, and anyone who discovered anything odd or unusual could present it!
If it passed the initial screening and was accepted by the Wizards, the inventor could be rewarded with up to fifty Imperial Gold Coins!
Such a substantial reward was enough to drive people mad, resulting in the citizens of the capital turning their homes upside down, with some people even picking up a random stone off the street, trying to bluff their way through. If they got lucky, they could earn a fortune they could otherwise never hope to have in their lifetime.
Within two days, Yoland, who was responsible for finding new elements, had received a large amount of miscellaneous junk, causing him a massive headache. He eventually had to put up a sign outside, asking people not to bring things like pots, pans, wooden boards, and benches. Those who tried to exploit the situation were severely punished!
Just when Yoland thought he would gain nothing today, as usual, a strange ’stone’ was laid before him on the desk.
It was an irregular spherical object, and by its luster, it appeared to be some sort of metal substance.
Yoland let out a light exclamation, reached out to pick it up, and immediately realized that it was much heavier than iron of the same volume!
Realizing this, Yoland’s expression turned serious as he began to try sensing and analyzing it with magic power, but he failed.
Unable to be destroyed or controlled, could it really be some metal element?
"What is this? Where did you find it?" Yoland quickly turned his head to look at the presenting citizen, urgently asking.
This might very well be a new element beyond their current understanding!
The fifty-something-year-old miner by his side humbly bowed his head, speaking with a trembling voice in response. "Reporting to the great Wizard, this is a piece of... Demon Stone... that’s what I’ve heard the Priests call it!"
