Chapter 743 Alchemy
After checking everything he found, Liang En could confirm that what he got this time was a batch of manuscripts left by Paracelsus during his lifetime.
Paracelsus left as many as 364 papers during his long wandering career, and now Liang En has the original manuscripts of 160 of them.
The most famous of these original manuscripts is the 'Palla Trilogy': "Worman Paramiron" Miracle Medicine Book, "Palagranen" Miracle Medicine Food, "Opus Paramiron" Miracle Medicine.
Of course, compared to these cultural relics, the most important thing Liang En got this time should be cards. Since Paracelsus has an important position in many legends, the harvest on cards this time is very good.
For example, in terms of pure consumable cards, although only four cards were obtained this time, they included two [Appraisal (N)] and two [Legendary Power (N)].
As an important part of Liang Enfan's power improvement, the increase of the upper limit of legendary power is very important, and this alchemist and medical scientist who left his name in the legend can provide strong help in this regard.
As for the last card, it is a card that has never been seen before [Extraordinary Alchemy, Medicine (SR)]. This is a card purely used to manipulate extraordinary power.
At the beginning, Liang En thought it was similar to his previous [Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (N)] card that was fused with [Alchemy (R)], but it was actually quite different.
[Extraordinary Alchemy, Medicine (SR): In that ancient era, the current light of science has not been lit.Alchemy was the most cutting-edge science of that era.
Paracelsus was the founder and leader of this, though his life was troubled: when he arrived in a city, his fame attracted a large audience; he could cure diseases that others could not, and Gain the friendship of powerful men;
However, the good times didn't last long, and he was soon disgusted by authorities, colleagues, students and even past friends. In order to avoid imprisonment or death penalty, he always left his property and left in a hurry and secretly.
In addition to his own character, his offense against a medieval medical dogma inevitably put him in conflict with his colleagues: the sharp distinction between physicians and surgeons.
In traditional medicine, internal medicine mainly studies theory, while surgery is only regarded as a craftsman-like profession, so physicians are considered superior in terms of intellectual level.
Paracelsus believed that what the patient needed was a cure, not a theory of medicine, which should concern only the doctor.
In fact, the theory of physicians is produced and tested through surgical practice, so surgery and physicians are inseparable and interdependent.
Paracelsus himself has always been regarded as a surgeon by his contemporaries, but he always calls himself a "Doctor of Medicine and Surgery" in his books. This challenge to the established order also makes it difficult for him to be recognized by his peers.
But it was also because of his deviant innovative spirit at that time that he was able to redefine alchemy as "the art of turning impure substances into pure substances" and put forward the theory of three elements.
And he argued that the main purpose of alchemy is to prepare things that meet people's needs, especially for medical purposes. Paracelsus' main contribution to medicine is the introduction of minerals as medicines.
In order to make medicine, Paracelsus systematically investigated the chemical reaction process of many metals and summarized the general characteristics of standard reactions.
This is of great significance in the history of chemical development. It inspires later generations to discover the chemical properties of substances through experiments, and then classify them according to their chemical properties.
Skill card (permanent), this skill can not only master the configuration of various traditional European medicines, but also use the power of legend to observe the patient's disease from the perspective of alchemy, and understand how to treat it.
In addition, the card owner can use the legendary journey as a medium to strengthen these medicines by injecting legendary power, so that the medicines have legendary attributes.At the same time, make some things that only exist in mythology.
However, because the source of power comes from doctors, all alchemy creations are related to medicine, and the legendary power and effect needed for alchemy are directly linked. 】
Because of the upgrade of the overall supernatural power last time, the use of supernatural power has become much more flexible now.So the use of power is more precise.
"Let me take a look at the production list." With the acquisition of the cards, a lot of knowledge was introduced into Liang En's mind, and soon he began to sort out the list of alchemy substances in his mind driven by curiosity. .
It is a little shocking that the number one thing that can be made by alchemy is actually the legendary Philosopher's Stone, which is also called the Philosopher's Stone in the novel.
Since ancient times, the Philosopher's Stone has been a substance that only existed in people's imagination but never existed.The Philosopher's Stone is imagined to be able to turn stones into gold, and to make longevity potions that can cure all diseases and make people live longer.
The concept of the Philosopher's Stone first came from Jeber, an Arab-Yemeni alchemist born in Persia in the eighth century AD.
He analyzed Aristotle's four elements: heat, cold, dryness, and wetness, and connected them with the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.Fire is hot and dry, earth is cold and dry, water is cold and wet, and air is hot and wet.
Based on this theory, he further established the theory that "all metals are a combination of these four elements": two are internal elements and the other two are external elements.
In this case, the process of metamorphism of one metal into another is deduced to be a recombination of these four substances.The agent for this transformation is hypothesized to be a substance known in Arabic as al-iksir.
This Arabic word is derived from the word elixir for the Western panacea.The substance is thought to be a dry powder made from a mystical stone, the Philosopher's Stone.
According to legend, only the French alchemist Nicole Flamel (Nicolas Flamel, 1330~1417?) was the only one who successfully made the Philosopher's Stone in history.
According to records, on January 1382, 1, the LeMay couple completed the "lead → silver" transformation experiment based on the Philosopher's Stone, and on April 17 of the same year, the "lead → gold" transformation was successful.
After making the Philosopher's Stone, he used the wealth gained from alchemy for charity, built fourteen hospitals in Paris, and built and renovated churches.
In March 1417, Nicholas died at the age of 3.His former residence and donated tomb were full of strange symbols and incomprehensible reliefs, which attracted alchemists from all over the world to dig three feet to find the secret of the Philosopher's Stone.
In the end, the group of tomb robbers finally dug up the coffin of the Nicholas couple—just like the plot of the legend, there was nothing in the coffin, so some people said they were still alive.
From the beginning of the 18th century until the 20th century, news that Nicholas was still alive appeared intermittently.One of the most famous claims is that in 1761, someone saw the Nicholas couple at the Paris Opera House.
It's a pity that during the peak period of making a stone, you need to invest 49 legend points at one time, which is equivalent to twice the legend points that Liang En can use at the same time, which means that this thing can be seen but not eaten for the time being.
