The hot air balloon has floated to the deserted sea and is flying through the clouds.
At first, Ella looked at the scenery below with interest, but the scene on the sea remained unchanged no matter how much time passed, and soon she lost interest.
So, the three of them sat on the hot air balloon and chatted.
"The most important part of my alchemical theory system is the theory of three elements that explains the composition of things." Paracelsus said, "However, the influence of the three elements theory in the academy is not very great. You may not have heard about it."
Ella and Amy shook their heads.
"We have all heard of this theory. It adds a salt to Jabir's two elements of sulfur and mercury. It is said to be able to explain the composition of all substances, including organic matter."
"Yes, it can perfectly explain all the phenomena we have discovered in the laboratory so far - Aristotle's four-element theory was also proposed by him through observation and practice, and can perfectly explain all the phenomena he had at that time. After so many years, people have accumulated a lot more practical experience, which is why I have this new theory. However, it has a fatal flaw like the theories of Aristotle and Jabir."
"Fatal deficiency? I've never heard of this." Ella asked curiously, "What is it?"
"It can indeed explain those phenomena, but it can only 'can' explain it. There can be many explanations for the same thing. On the surface, Jabir's two elements and Aristotle's four elements theory seem There are similarities, but a closer look reveals ambiguities in many key places. In fact, these are two different hypotheses, but alchemists are willing to accept both at the same time, because no matter which one they are, they can Explain what happens in experiments—but that raises the question: Which theory is correct?"
"What kind?"
"I don't know, so I'm eager to know. The way I think of is practice - since I have extended my theory to organic matter, as long as I use my theory to create organic matter, I can confidently claim : Aristotle and Jabir were wrong.”
The girl always spoke with confidence when talking about her own theories, but the Paracelsus in front of her was a little hesitant when talking about his own theories, and seemed to have suffered a lot of setbacks.
"You did create organic matter - and it was a living person. This proves that your theory is correct, doesn't it?" Amy said.
"That's not a skill at all, but magic!" Paracelsus suddenly shouted in panic, "What can magic prove?"
Amy and Ella were both shocked by Paracelsus' reaction. Paracelsus also realized his gaffe, lowered his head slightly, and said: "Sorry. I feel a little uncomfortable talking about this matter - in the end, I couldn't use my skills to create anything. That The existence of girls is simply God’s mockery of me.”
"Is that why you objected to His Majesty's experiment just now?"
"Yes, what's the use of experiments? We explain the observed phenomena, and when we observe phenomena that cannot be explained, we modify the explanations. I change it again and again, but my theory is no better than Aristotle and Jabir How correct it is, on the contrary, it is more complicated.”
Ella thought for a while, then suddenly picked up a branch and handed it to Amy, saying, "Amy, bake it into charcoal."
Amy didn't know what Ella had in mind, but she did it anyway. But I saw Ella take back the charcoal and start writing at the bottom.
"Paracelsus, you reminded me. The theory you deduced based on a large number of experiments may still be wrong. Then I only rely on today's experiments, so naturally I shouldn't draw conclusions immediately. I will You must try all these experiments at once."
Amy went up to take a look and saw that Ella had written the following questions:
1. When a ship is sailing forward, when the sail is lowered, does it fall directly below the mast or directly behind it?
2. If you throw a stone up on a speeding carriage, will the stone fall back into your hand or fall out of the carriage?
3. On the Nagel method of sailing, if I pull the same slingshot to the maximum, shoot a stone facing the direction of sailing, pick it up and shoot it again facing the direction of sailing, which time the stone will be further away from me?
4.……
After writing these lines, Ella continued: "Paracelsus, you just said that the truth cannot be obtained by simply explaining the observed results. But if I predict the results in advance before observing, And what if the results are exactly as I predicted?”
"This... I have always analyzed the causes based on the results, and I have never thought about predicting the results." Paracelsus lowered his head and thought for a while, and then replied, "If all the results can perfectly match the predictions, then naturally That’s right.”
"Okay, then I will write down the predicted results here first."
Ella wrote a few more words after the question.
"Amy, Paracelsus, you all remember the answer I wrote today. It is written in black and white and cannot be changed. After I finish all the experiments, I will be able to judge whether I am right or wrong. "
Paracelsus looked at Ella blankly for a moment.
"King of Sweden... you really surprised me. After this separation, I will definitely come to Sweden to see you in a few years to exchange academic knowledge again."
Finish this sentence. He walked to the guardrail and looked into the distance.
"If we fly any further, it will be nothing but the sea. Let's just return like this."
"Returning now?" Ella jumped up suddenly, "I also want to fly to Constantiniya to have a look! I specially left a few bones to throw to the ungrateful guards in the palace! "
"Constantinier?" It was Paracelsus' turn to be surprised. "King of Sweden, the fuel on my flying device can only support a flight of about twenty kilometers at most. It can't even fly out of this bay. ah?"

"What kind of fuel does it matter! Isn't it just fire? With Amy here, you can have as much fire as you want! Amy, add fire!"
"Okay, Your Majesty!"
Amy sent a ball of fire under the hot air balloon.
"No, even if there is fire..." Paracelsus wiped away the beads of sweat, "With this wind speed, we will starve to death before we can fly to Constantinye!"
"No matter what the wind is! As long as Amy is here, you can move even without the wind! Amy, breathe fire!"
"Your Majesty...why do I feel like I am some kind of mount...?"
Although she said so, Amy still sprayed the blazing flames backward.
There was a billowing heat wave in the sky. As Amy continued to increase the firepower, the hot air balloon flew faster and faster.
"It doesn't matter if you get hungry halfway, Amy, just use Aphrodite's protection to seduce a few birds, and then roast them!"
"What kind of Aphrodite is this???"
Amid Ella's cheers and Amy's protests, the hot air balloon flew straight in the direction of Constantinier.
