In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 382: Accidental Discovery, Ruthenium Isotopes
The video finished playing quickly.

At this time, Witeos had already recorded and simulated the scenes of the Stark Industries exhibition in the video.

“Weiteos, convert the exhibition model into a digital wireframe, remove the green belts, parking lots and entrances and exits, mark the buildings as protons and neutrons, and then structure the wireframe model.”

A brand new atomic model soon appeared in front of Qingshui.

"The isotopes of palladium have a very reasonable structure, and a completely new element that had never existed before was predicted more than 30 years ago."

Qingshui looked at the atomic structure model in front of him.

"No, it's not necessarily a prediction based on empty reasoning."

Qingshui slapped his head and dragged out a safe covered with a seal from the corner of the laboratory.

The seal is lifted, the password is entered, and the safe is opened.

Two blue lights appeared.

One is a piece of debris that was previously pried off from the Cosmic Cube.

The other is also the shell of an Infinity Stone.

The Mind Stone on the Mind Scepter is also blue. The Mind Gem was previously inside the Mind Stone.

Qingshui had done some research on these two things before, and the original plan was to make them into magical tools.

The Mind Stone and Rubik's Cube fragments were placed on two scanners respectively.

"Witios, use X-ray diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy to scan the microscopic material structure of these two objects. I want to take a look at their atomic structure."

after a while.

The atomic structure of the Mind Stone and the Rubik's Cube fragments was scanned, and Witeos presented the model to Shimizu.

"It has 46 protons and 60 neutrons, which is also an isotope of palladium. The atomic model is consistent with the one Howard left behind. It is indeed true."

Qingshui looked at the atomic structure of the Mind Gem on the other side.

"Proton number 44, neutron number 57, is it an isotope of ruthenium?"

Qingshui also worked out the atomic structure model of normal ruthenium metal.

There is indeed a big gap.

"They are all platinum elements... There are six platinum elements, and there are six Infinity Gems. Could it be that the isotopes of these six elements are all by-products of the Infinity Gems? No, it should be that the Infinity Gems gave birth to these six substances, and Stark and his son used technology to synthesize one of these substances, which existed in scientific theory but could only be produced by Infinity Gems before, through artificial means, imitating its atomic structure."

The thoughts continue to diverge.

"Why is it because of these two platinum elements and not other substances?"

You can try to experiment.

I have a spiritual gem in my hand.

There is no ruthenium metal in Water Manor.

But Osborne had the reserves, and it was just a matter of making a phone call.

Soon, a batch of ruthenium was sent to the laboratory in Water Manor.

Qingshui took a small grain of sand-sized silver-white ruthenium metal and placed it on the experimental vessel. He then cast a spell to activate the Eye of Water hanging around his neck, injecting a large amount of the energy of the Mind Gem into it.

The silvery-white metal particles slowly changed under the glow of the yellow gem energy.

Time passes slowly.

A few hours later.

Qingshui couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The silver-white metal particles in front of him had undergone some changes at this time.

During the energy oscillations of several hours, the ruthenium metal absorbed a large amount of energy belonging to the Mind Stone, and deep bright blue spots and nebula-like patterns began to appear on the surface. The color looked very similar to the Mind Stone, but it was much dimmer.

"Witios, report the experimental record results."

"Okay, sir. 0001, 0002... and other crystal faces have turned cobalt blue. The data analysis results show that the energy of the Mind Gem has a strong correlation with the d-orbital electrons to form a topological insulator, which binds the free energy in the Schottky barrier..."

Qingshui listened quietly to a long series of reports and continued to work on the next step.

Over the next two days, Shimizu tried other metals, including five more platinum group elements.

Six sets of experimental data were placed in front of Qingshui.

Five of the groups were useless. After being injected with the energy from the Mind Gem, the platinum metals quickly expanded into a honeycomb shape.

Only ruthenium metal can better accept and store the energy of the mind gem, causing the internal atomic structure to recombine in continuous fission and fusion, and eventually forming this ruthenium metal isotope.

As for other elements, perhaps because of their atomic structure or perhaps for other reasons, once the energy of the Mind Gem is injected into them, it simply cannot be stored in large quantities for a long time and cannot evolve correctly.

Even if you use sealing techniques to forcibly fix the energy inside, it will only undergo nuclear reactions and turn into other elements.

"The dense hexagonal crystal structure of ruthenium can better adapt to the energy oscillation of the Mind Stone. The Fermi level happens to overlap with part of the resonant spectrum of the Mind Stone. Is this the reason why it can react with the energy of the Mind Stone?"

Qingshui looked at the strings of data and rubbed his temples.

If this is the case, then things like the Mind Stone and the Tesseract should not be associated substances of the Infinity Stones, but rather substances that are produced by them.

Shimizu speculates that this is because in the more than 10 billion years of cosmic evolution, only these specific platinum elements can be affected by the energy of gemstones, and eventually continue to attract and deposit, and due to the crystal system of atomic arrangement, they form structures such as the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Stone in the macroscopic material world.

I feel like I've made a pretty remarkable discovery.

Does this mean that there are four new elements corresponding to the four Infinity Stones waiting to be discovered?
If there is a chance, I will ask Ancient One to borrow the Time Stone and see if I can use the other four platinum elements to create new elements.

Well, maybe I don't need to borrow it. I can wait until after the Supreme Sorcerer's Death Anniversary Cup Singing King Competition, and then I can take over the Time Stone legitimately.

However, although there were great discoveries, this was not the purpose of Qingshui spending so much effort.

No matter how great the results are, they are only by-products, and they are not currently useful results.

He must at least find a way to synthesize palladium metal isotopes through artificial synthesis.

After all, he doesn't have the Space Gem in his hand, and neither his original body nor his incarnations in other worlds have it.

Qingshui fell into deep thought again.

To synthesize new elements, a particle accelerator must be used.

But it's certainly not as simple as just a particle accelerator.

To synthesize palladium, particles can be accelerated using a particle accelerator and then bombarded with target atoms, causing them to fission or fusion, creating new elements.

It is not difficult to synthesize palladium using this method, but the difficulty lies in how to make the generated palladium have such an atomic structure.

This step troubled Howard Stark for many years, and he finally decided that it could not be solved in his time, so he left it to Tony.

This also stumped Qingshui a little.

His current scientific and technological capabilities are already very high. If he relies solely on the existing knowledge and conditions to build up his scientific research capabilities, he would be a first-class scientist in human society.

But his creativity, especially in designing experiments and theoretical deduction and simulation, is still far behind Tony, whose IQ is almost equivalent to superpowers.

“This structure…”

Shimizu then asked Witioth to display the atomic structure of normal palladium on the other side for comparison, to see if it was possible to adjust the atomic structure of normal palladium and transform it into the structure of a new element, and then design the experiment based on the transformation process.

However, after he read SHIELD's experimental records over the past few decades, he discovered that all the methods he could think of had already been tried by SHIELD's scientists.

Day. I have no idea!

Or should we ask Tony to be the external brain?
So how can I get Tony to hand over the technology to me?

Qingshui silently turned his gaze to the Mind Stone and the grain of ruthenium metal mixed with isotopes.

Another new element that should interest Tony.

And he could use his clever brain to help me study the effects of this new element and how to synthesize it artificially.

Otherwise, it would be too tiring and troublesome to just rely on activating the gems little by little to induce birth.

Qingshui has been lucky recently.

Before he could go find Tony, Tony came to him first.

One day later.

Over New York, a gold and red battle armor flew across the sky.

"Jarvis, send a message to Witeos, I'm going to Water Manor."

"Temporary safe passage has been granted."

Ten seconds later.

The private jet helipad at Water Manor.

The tail flame of the Iron Man armor went out, and then it automatically opened from the middle, and Tony Stark walked out wearing a suit and taking coquettish steps.

"Tea, please, Mr. Stark."

In the living room, butler Jorge placed a tray of tea on the table.

"Oh, okay, do you have any food here? I suddenly realized I haven't had lunch yet. Can I have a cheeseburger?"

"Would you like it made fresh or sent to order?"

"Um...I prefer the one on Broadway."

"I understand. The burger will be delivered within half an hour. The young master is waiting for you in the laboratory now. He has already opened up the peer permission for you."

Jorge bowed gracefully, then withdrew and told the manor staff to buy burgers.

One minute later.

In the laboratory.

"In the seventeenth experiment, the prism deflection angle is wrong, and proton aggregation fails. Prepare for the eighteenth experiment. Witios, record the experimental data and recalculate."

In a messy laboratory.

Qingshui looked at another particle accelerator that had burned out and sighed slightly.

No new palladium isotopes showed up on the mass spectrometer.

"Are you... synthesizing heavy elements?"

Tony watched this scene, walked to the side of Qingshui with interest, looked at the various data recorded on the computer, and then his expression changed.

"You want to copy me again?"

"Bullshit, I'm just continuing the research of my predecessors."

"That predecessor?"

"your dad."

Tony:…

By the way, this guy became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he must have watched the video left by his father Howard Stark.

Soon, a mocking expression appeared on Tony's face.

"Hmm, palladium isotope, something I made five years ago. I succeeded in my first try, but you haven't succeeded in 17 attempts yet."

"You came here just to taunt me? Then you can get out of here after you finish your cheeseburger."

Qingshui was playing with the holographic projection while planning the next experiment.

"I'm here to cooperate with you."

Tony got back to business.

"Ok?"

"I've been researching nanotechnology lately, so I was thinking of acquiring a few decent labs and companies. But I found that everything I was interested in had already been acquired by you.

At this time, I thought again that you seem to use high-precision nanorobot technology to generate a molecular-level processing plant to produce hydrogen-saturated palladium metal, which shows that your nanotechnology has reached a relatively mature level, and perhaps it can save me a few years of detours. "

Even without the existing technology of those companies, Tony could actually do it with his level of skill.

But he needs to spend a lot of time studying again and solving difficult problems on his own, but for Tony, this time can be avoided.

"Then how do you want to cooperate?"

"I hadn't thought about it on the way here, but now I have. I just feel like it might be a bit of a loss. It only takes me five years, no, three years to surpass your nanotechnology. But my second-generation Ark reactor..."

"Ri, who are you looking down on?"

"I don't mean to look down on you. After all, you are one of the few people whose technology I admire. But you are going in the wrong direction. If you continue with your thinking, you will just waste time like those SHIELD scientists. Even if you spend another ten years, you won't get any results."

Qingshui frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.

That's great. I was worried about how to get the technology of the second-generation Ark reactor from this guy and get him to work for me.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come to me so soon.

So Qingshui pretended to be a little embarrassed, and then said:

"Well, I have a new result here, and I think you should be very interested."

"Would I be interested? I'm not interested in everything. How about you exchange your cryogenic freezing technology with me? I have an idea. By combining your cryogenic technology with my Ark reactor technology, we can achieve superconducting positive feedback. In that way, we can easily build a spaceship that can colonize the solar system..."

"No, that would be a loss for me, because I have already mastered the technology you mentioned, and tomorrow the Vought Group will start launching my private space station."

To be precise, it was Victor who mastered this technology. The Justice League Space Observatory there has been rebuilt and is also preparing to build a branch base on the moon.

Shimizu is just copying the assignment.

Tony raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, so what you want to show is..."

"I'm just like your father."

Tony:? ? ?
"Witeos, File Library No. 109, Filename Ruthenium."

Shimizu took out a file from the holographic projection and threw it to Tony.

The latter opened the file, clicked it lightly, and saw the atomic structure diagram of the ruthenium isotope at a glance, so he picked it out and enlarged it.

"You also discovered a new element, one that has never been found on Earth before. This number of protons and neutrons... is it an isotope of ruthenium?"
