Hello, I'm the Paranormal Exploration Officer, thank you for your attention, let's explore the world of mercury together!
On the periodic table, only one golden bamboo (Al) with atomic number 13 can exist in a liquid state. Now we're going to talk about metals, at room temperature, they behave more like magic. We've seen it in more than a dozen episodes. But to this day, I guess its mystery makes us very curious.
We all know that this metal is known all over the world for its special state and feel. It has been widely used for nearly a thousand years. But did you know that this metal was originally used as a "pill"? Its appearance is very special, and the items made of it are also varied, so today, I would like to discuss with you the past and present life of this Merck.
Prophet of the Hereafter. In business, there is also a person who has a lot to do with him. Their major discoveries became "magic tools" and "secret weapons" in commercial activities.
Do you know what kind of mystery these two mysterious people can bring to people? Of these two people, one is Abel Nuyaz, also known as "Abba". One was the only French king who ever treasured this metal. He can control the wind and rain, and he can also bring wealth.
Is this a myth, or is there a mystery in the metal itself? This pioneer, known by many as "erudite", conducted in-depth research on this metal, thus contributing to the development of human history. Let's uncover this mystic, huh!
1. The mysterious world of "elixir".
This metal was originally used as a "pill". This widely used metal has been discovered since ancient times. However, the ancients were more in awe than curious. It was at this time that the liquid metal was reported to Europe by an Oriental magician.
This man's name was "Abba." Not only did he bring the drug to Europe. In addition, he also opened a store specializing in the sale of this elixir. His story begins with "Shochu Taboo".
For a variety of reasons, the drug spread quickly in Europe. And then it became a fad, just like everyone drinking. Later, it even became a souvenir, with metal pots and gold cups dedicated to making elixirs, as well as shops specializing in metal.
The end result was that the drug sparked an "elixir fever" in Europe. The streets and alleys are full of places where pills are made and sold.
It was at this time. This metal has been found to aid in human alchemy, and can help humans make "mysterious mercury lamps". "Abba" is also an alchemist?
This was followed by the Crusader period, during which the metal was again mystically valued. Just as people were turning to books and studying it, there was an alchemist who quickly took the metal to the next level.
He also soon had his own followers. And his invention of mercury lamp is also listed as his patent. This mysterious thing can also bring wealth, so under his temptation, many people want to become his followers.
So it's the mysterious mercury lamp. During the Crusader period, it was used as a mystical control front. For this purpose, they even created a special technique called "Beauty of Light".
In order to promote this skill, they also built a small theater in Paris. At its best, it's only 6 minutes. Before each performance, there will be a dedicated person who will be responsible for explaining the content of the performance.
The essence of this skill is packaged as something "mysterious". So for a time, this skill was all the rage in France for ten years.
Eventually, as time passed, this "mysterious" thing gradually became overlooked. People began to study this "mysterious metal" from the side
2. The mysterious metal that has been "fooled" by people for thousands of years.
Since the 50s of the last century, the use of mercury has become less and less. From the metal, until now, it is only between 1958 and 1973 that it has been widely used.
In ancient times, mercury was mainly used to make elixirs. Its existence makes the elixir not only have the power of a genius, but also become like a "living thing". So for a while, it was wildly sought after by people.
But when it turns out that it has many other uses, it becomes a "mysterious" tool. In the process of gradually developing into chemistry, it was found that the metal was highly susceptible to other substances.
So in the course of their research, they kept reacting it with other substances. Later, they went so far as to develop a "dynamite".
The discovery of the mercury lamp quickly heightened his mystique. Later, people even invented a technique called "beauty of light". In order to promote this skill, they also built a small theater in Paris.
Eventually, after a long time, it turned out to be a potentially dangerous technology. Since then, there has been such a characterization in mercury, which is a metal that can bring danger to people.
So is mercury really as dangerous as people say it is? In many movies, mercury expands by heat. In the eyes of many people, this is just a special effect in the movie. However, today I would like to tell you that many years ago, this material was widely used because of its expansion by heat.
So what about this special effect? Viewers and friends who have watched it know that in many TV series and movies, this kind of special effect is not very rare. The advent of barometers.
In ancient times, people could only tell where they were by a few simple methods. As people study the stars in the sky more and more, the thermometer has developed greatly.
And with the development of thermometers, everyone also has a high requirement for him, that is, accuracy. And so the barometer came in. In this process, mercury is used in measurements.
Who would have thought that such a simple item also contained such "explosives". And in such cases, its mystery is particularly enhanced.
3. Mercury that has been "obsessed" by people.
This "mercury liar" is also because he is not very accurate in many places, and he has a good saying. More than a decade later, he had many followers.
Especially the sentence "What will happen to the world in these years?" In a dozen years, a lot will happen in our lives. Many people are quite curious about his words.
And he didn't make everyone wait too long. Just after more than ten years, there was a French king who was not only "enchanted", but also became more and more "enchanted".
The king was first fascinated by it because of its peculiarity. Although he did not reach that level in the end, his "enchanted" behavior eventually led to his downfall.
Then it is this king who is "enchanted" by people, this "mercury liar". How exactly do they make people "enchanted"? So what kind of magic does this metal have?
The author thinks. With the continuous development of technology. More and more mysterious things have also been answered, so solve the riddle of the element mercury. We also need to study from different angles and use scientific methods to answer.
