Rise of Rurik

The Ross tribe has been unable to get any good writing materials, and some "intellectuals" of the tribe had to write on the wooden boards to record some things.

For the most ordinary families, they do not need to record what is important in lettering.

Rurik held in his hand a small carving knife made of Tiejian, made of wrought iron, showing that it had been quenched and hardened. Facing a large wooden board with a rough surface, he couldn't help but wonder if even such a board could well describe his knowledge?

"What are you going to do? If you're going to carve, you can give me the work," Clavason suggested kindly.

"Carve for me? I'm going to make some marks first, then you chisel deeper for me, and finish with a little ink."

"Are you insisting on doing it tonight? Maybe you can wait until tomorrow to continue."

Clavasson had great doubts about the boy's energy, and his own condition was a little bad, and a yawn showed his exhaustion.

Rurik shook his head: "Like a red-hot iron, we must strike while it is hot. I have nothing to do but sleep, and I will work tonight. those creations of the

Rurik's decision was, of course, welcomed by the two blacksmiths, and Kravassen did not complain any more.

"Just keep doing it, we'll accompany you, and say something if you're hungry. I just want you to be careful not to get cut by the knife."

"You don't have to worry, make sure the oil lamp is on and the stove is burning."

Come on, Rurik sat cross-legged, with the big plank resting on his lap, and began to use gentle force with the tip of the knife, making extremely long marks on the plank.

At first Clavasson didn't care, and it didn't take long for him to understand that Rurik was making a grid.

Rurik's intention is actually very simple, that is, to exhaust his memory and reproduce the periodic table as much as possible in the ninth century AD.

In any case, the "Periodic Table of Elements" is really too advanced knowledge, and they are in the Ross tribe who have not yet gotten rid of ignorance. Can they have any in-depth understanding?

how is this possible!

Even students from a thousand years later began to come into contact with the "Periodic Table of Elements" around the age of fourteen. They wanted to have some preliminary understanding of the profound meaning of it, and the students were almost eighteen years old.

The students of a thousand years later are still like this, and the illiterate people of this time and space cannot instill too much in them, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

Rurik drew a large grid, it had eighteen grids from left to right.

At the top corner of the grid, he used the tip of a knife to draw out the word "H", and at the bottom, he spelled out the word "atom" with fine rune letters. The expression of the first lattice is really concise, and the element marked with "H" is the smallest reserve. He then marked the number 1 in Rune script to the right of the "H", indicating that it consists of only one "atom".

Clear marks were drawn on the oak board, and when he completed a lattice, Kravason and Kavey were still completely puzzled. This puzzled and pleasing to the back of the grid.

For example, the second grid that Rurik carved is on the far right of the plank!

Rurik marked it with "He", which means nothing else, the element is "helium". It's just that due to the knowledge level of the ancients, no one understands that there are many traces of noble gases in the air, and they have no ability to separate them.

In fact, the real scientific development context, the discovery of helium is quite legendary, and the era of its discovery is also the industrial era.

Rurik didn't give any annotations to element 2, just gave it a number "2" in Rune and that's all.

From No. 3 to No. 5, Rurik used Roman letters to mark the names of these elements. For these scientific records, the Rune script is not as communicative and popular as the Roman alphabet.

In fact, Rurik wanted to comment on the "No. 5" boron. After all, boron is very useful in industrial manufacturing. After much deliberation, he reckoned that it would be impossible for Kravassen to easily find boron ore from the mountains. Rurik knew that he was better at doing things related to machinery, and knowledge of other aspects was only the basic level of ordinary college students after a thousand years.

Of course, more than a thousand years later, the knowledge of any junior high school student will completely surpass the so-called wise men of Western Europe in the ninth century.

When things got to element 6, everything changed.

The two blacksmiths saw this, and finally came to Rurikki for a new note on No. 6.

The annotation is very simple, the so-called "carbon, which forms a piece of charcoal", and the annotations are all annotated in Rune.

Regarding the explanation of the carbon element, Rurik used analogies and gestures with mines and charcoal before, barely making the two blacksmiths understand that there is such a "basic element".

No. 7 element, Rurik logically portrayed an H, and he moved a little on the label, writing "breathable insipidity".

"What kind of anger is this? There's no smell?" Cravasen's sudden speech really startled Rurik, and the blade almost stabbed his hand.

"Yes, it just doesn't smell. You and I have it in every breath you and I breathe. It's not very important to us, but it's more important to those trees. Blacksmith, don't talk anymore, I'm afraid I'll get hurt. "

Clavasson nodded with a vague understanding: "You continue, I'm quiet."

Element 8, annotated as "The Breath of Life.

The next two don't have any labels.

And when it came to element 11, which was sodium, Rurik hesitated for a while, and simply labelled it "half salt."

At this point, it was impossible for Kravason to hold his mouth. In order not to frighten the child, he endured the trembling of his own surprise, and suddenly asked: "Could it be that the salt we eat is actually a mixture of two elements?"

"Huh? Do you understand? I thought I had to talk to you a little more." Rurik sat up straight, admiring the old guy's logical analysis ability.

"My son and I both understand. Since you just explained well the constituent elements of all ores, how to get rid of the useless and leave the useful, or mix different elements into the most useful tool. From the beginning, I am very willing to believe in the world's Everything is made up of many elements mixed together. Could it be that salt...it..." Clavason paused, "Where is the other half?"

Rurik tapped the grid with the tip of his knife, muttering the number in his mouth until he hit the 17th chlorine.

"That's it, number 17. It's the other half of the salt. They're like husband and wife, holding each other's hands and becoming the smallest salt."

"Ah! So that's how it is~" Klawson looked at his son Kawhi, "Do you believe it?"

"Is there anything more logical than this?" Kawhi said solemnly. "Now I believe whatever Rurik says. This is worth believing. I don't dare to doubt Odin's wisdom foolishly."

At this moment, Rurik really didn't know what to say about them, maybe they were good students, or they lacked the spirit of independent thinking.

When it came to aluminum No. 13, the ancients had no ability to make aluminum, and he thought of a description that a blacksmith might understand, and marked it "the greenness of emeralds." He made such a mark, and could not help but secretly admire his wit. All kinds of silicate gems, their beautiful color comes from a small amount of rare metals.

The two blacksmiths could not understand the strange vessel of the aluminum pan, at least they understood the colorful gems.

When it comes to No. 14 silicon, this is the easiest to annotate, and it is also the easiest for the blacksmith to understand. Rurik simply made two annotations, one is "slag" and the other is "transparent sand". Since silicon is the main component of slag, it is easy for blacksmiths to understand it.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

For this reason, Rurik had to say one more thing: "This substance is very important. Odin created the entire ground based on it, so he held a handful of dirt, and the most of them was it."

The heads of the two blacksmiths were like the hands of a lucky cat, nodding their heads in affirmation.

Phosphorus No. 15, it needs to be annotated. It can't always be explained that it is the cause of the ghost fire, so it has a terrifying meaning. Rurik thought about it for a while, and simply marked it as "part of a tooth". Since they can already understand that everything is a mixture of various elements, the same is true of teeth, and it should not be repeated.

No. 16 sulfur, the most simple label, only because there is a word describing sulfur in the Norse language.

"Ah, that kind of yellow-white stone that emits a stench?" This time, Kawi couldn't hold back his excitement.

Rurik didn't hesitate: "That's it. It mixes with the breath of life and it turns into a bad stench. And you, Kawi, the reason why your fart stinks when you eat a bad stomach is because of it."

The foul language suddenly made the two blacksmiths laugh, calm down, and the rest of them was surprise. Kawi really wanted to ask: "I've never been stupid enough to go back and nibble on that yellow smelly stone. Why does my fart stink? Did I sleepwalk and nibble on it?"

"Of course not." Rurik might as well explain more. "It gets into the ground, the onion absorbs some of it, and you eat the onion in your stomach. Don't worry, it's not harmful, and even has some benefits."

"Is the smell good?" Kawi looked puzzled.

"I'm thinking now, I should ask the priests to add a little sulphur powder when they make the soap. The soap will turn yellowish-white and have some odor. But then the smallest lice and fleas will be killed, too. Better than your current soap."

Now that the soap was mentioned, Kawi spoke excitedly about it: "Rurik, according to Odin's wisdom, soap is also a mixture of many elements, right?"

"Of course, don't ask more questions."

As Rurik marked the "other half of the salt" for chlorine and the blank for argon, the carving knife completed the marking of potassium, and directly wrote "the key to soap".

"Kavi, do you want to know more about soap? Now I'll tell you. Look at this element 19, it's actually the ashes after the charcoal burns out. Those ashes are actually the key to making soap, and it can also make a big The trees are very lush. Do you understand?"

Kabit nodded vigorously, "I probably understand."

"I hope you can understand, now look at number 20." Rurik quickly made a mark, except for the Roman alphabet of Ca, the most critical mark was the surprise of the two blacksmiths.

Kawhi asked, teeth chattering, "You...you mean. Are those limes actually it? And our bones, too?"

"Yes, this is the truth. It is integrated into the earth, and as long as we eat wheat and meat, especially milk, it enters our body and forms our bones. If we eat enough, the bones will be very hard. Those poor people who broke their arms when they fell, I think you can understand why."

"I understand, maybe for... for my bones to be harder, I should go find lime in the mountains, and I'll take a bite."

"You're so stupid!" Clavasson slapped his son's brain in excitement, "Rurik said, you won't be allowed to gnaw on smelly stones, and you shouldn't gnaw on those white stones. You count pairs. Well, Rurik?"

Rurik could only explain with a smile; "Yes, you can't eat it."

Rurik was someone who could memorize the periodic table many places backwards. This kind of thing was not too difficult as long as he practiced more. Rurik vaguely remembered a lot, but gradually his brain must have become a little bit sluggish.

He continued to write to the number.

Because people in this time and space cannot understand many metal elements, and it is difficult to prepare them, Rurik left the names in Roman letters with blank labels.

Until the 26th iron, it was clearly marked, and the marking was even simpler. It was a word "svard". The word was spelled out with five rune letters. Any blacksmith would understand that it is the element that makes up the iron sword.

He would also say something special: "You will think that most things in the world are composed of many elements. Your ordinary iron sword is not like this, it is pure. But pure things are often soft."

With that said, Rurik marked the cobalt "the color of sapphire", and the nickel was blank.

For the very critical No. 29 copper, Rurik directly wrote its Norse name. After all, copper coins are used more frequently than silver coins in daily life. The so-called copper coin is a Roman copper coin, which is basically a piece of pure copper.

"As you all know, pure copper is very soft, and with the addition of tin and lead, it becomes very hard. Now you should understand that tin and lead are also elements."

Clavasson nodded vigorously: "We can understand that, tin is very soft, but lead is very heavy. They have a metallic luster, and maybe they are indeed similar."

"Your guess is very correct." Rurik motioned for the two to bring their heads together.

Rurik, whom the two saw only, marked the word "silver coin" directly in the grid directly below the copper. The grid directly below the "silver coin" is marked with the word "gold coin".

Rurik complete labeling, also based on grid numbering. starter

Because the periodic table of elements is based on the number of protons and the number of extranuclear electrons as one of the important references, the entire table is compiled. It is not difficult to assign the correct numbers to gold and silver.

Being marked like this, the whole room was so quiet that only the crackling of the charcoal fire in the stove...
