It is a coincidence that the leader who brought Yun Ming to the super power field was Xia Yan. Of course, at that time, the latter only gave Yun Ming a brief introduction to the origin and classification of ability users, which was far from what he would do next. There is enough knowledge to be taught.
"Can you memorize the periodic table of elements?" This was the first sentence Xia Yan said before starting to talk about the history of supernatural powers.
Yun Ming shook his head: "Almost everything was returned to the teacher."
"You also forgot the first and second cycles?"
"No, this is hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron..."
"Stop it, okay, that's it." Xia Yan stopped Yun Ming from continuing, even though the latter could only remember the first twenty digits of the periodic table of elements at most, and he couldn't memorize "calcium".
Xia Yan turned around and asked Yun Ming another unbelievable question: "Do you think... there might be an unknown new element between lithium, which is ranked third in the periodic table, and beryllium, which is ranked fourth? ?”
"Since you asked that, it must be there." Yun Ming didn't think too much about Xia Yan's Riddler-like questioning method: "Could that new element be..."
"Yes, we call it divine fog." Xia Yan stretched out his hand to hold the air: "This element that does not exist on the earth passed through the giant space bridge that appeared over Canberra at the end of 1999, and it took less than ten years. It fills the whole earth.”
Yun Ming quickly connected this new information with the old knowledge: "So, at the beginning of the 21st century, ability users were born in the world; because of the full spread of the divine mist in the atmosphere, around 2010, The number of ability users began to increase significantly; and then a large number of high-level ability users participated in the war, allowing mankind to win the War of Fire in 2021 and drive away the alien invaders."
"Basically correct." Xia Yan nodded: "By the way, when and who confirmed the existence of the new element Shenwu, it is now impossible to test. The name Shenwu and its most primitive refinement The synthetic method can be traced back to 2008, and there is no way to verify it further.”
Pu Cheshi said with emotion: "From 2000 to 1000, it was the darkest decade during the Fire War. Humanity lost 60% of the habitable land area and 2 billion people on the earth's surface. In comparison, it lost a single Shenwu. The origin doesn’t matter.”
"Then..." Yun Ming was confused about Shenwu's position on the periodic table of elements: "Why is it stuffed between lithium and beryllium? I understand that the existence of Shenwu is not convenient for the public. The periodic table of elements in the textbook does not need to be modified. But why don’t you people in the know just designate it as element 4 and replace the original beryllium?”
"No, Mendeleev was not wrong. What follows lithium is indeed beryllium." Xia Yan tried to make Yunming accept the subversion of his worldview in as simple a way as possible: "You can understand that there is still something between the numbers 3 and 4. A hidden integer."
Yun Ming looked at Xia Yan blankly, and the latter mistook this action to mean that he didn't understand at all. But in fact, Yun Ming not only understood it, but also recalled things that did not exist in this parallel universe.
"Hidden integer? Isn't that... SCP-033, the missing number."

(The setting of "Shenwu" in this game is based on SCP-033. If there are any similarities, it is not a coincidence)
Item Number: SCP-033
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: When not under observation or study, SCP-033 is to be recorded on any irregularly shaped piece of handmade paper, papyrus, canvas, or vellum. These paper-like planes should not have parallel sides, right angles, or a side length equal to any other side (a plane that meets the conditions is called a 033 safety plane). When SCP-033 is contained in this manner, the paper-like surface is to be contained in a locked, non-combinable storage vault at least 30m away from all computing and recording equipment. Logs regarding the removal or return of SCP-033 should be filled in from a minimum safe distance of 30m to prevent possible contamination of paper products or electronic devices where this document is stored.
When SCP-033 is removed for study, SCP-033 is to be transcribed by a D-class personnel onto a whiteboard/blackboard that meets the requirements for a safe surface for SCP-033. Once this transcription is complete, the paper-like surface containing SCP-033 is to be immediately burned. Research and observation of SCP-033 can only be conducted in a research room at least 30m away from any computing and recording equipment, in order to obtain a maximum observation period of 2560 seconds. All observations and notes should be made on SCP-033 security materials. Under no circumstances are any notes concerning SCP-033 to be removed from the containment facility or entered into computing or recording devices.
At exactly 2000 seconds of observation, research is to cease and SCP-033 is to be transferred to an SCP-033 secure paper material and returned to containment by D-class personnel. Whiteboards/blackboards used for research must be destroyed immediately after copying, regardless of whether SCP-033 "naturally" fades from its surface at 2560 seconds.
It is unknown whether the SCP-033 safety material stops or merely slows down the harmful effects of SCP-033. Current theories suggest that the irregular boundaries and mathematically unpredictable human hand-making behavior somehow interfere with the logic that allows SCP-033 to operate.
Description: SCP-033 manifests itself as a complex collection of mathematical symbols, ranging from symbols that are recognizable to a layperson to symbols that can only be discerned by highly trained mathematicians. The "total value" of these symbols is equal to a previously unknown integer (designated θ' by Professor Hutchinson), which lies between █ and █.
Since all modern mathematical models in existence lack recognition of the existence and role of SCP-033, introducing it into any system composed without it will cause it to corrode the mathematics of the system, and ultimately the structure of the system. normality. This effect will extend to any paper-like (defined as paper, papyrus, vellum, canvas) non-033 secure surface on which SCP-033 is copied, or any computing and recording device that inputs it. If transcribed onto any other material, SCP-033 will fade in an unrecognizable manner after exactly 2560 seconds. Additionally, SCP-033 has demonstrated the ability to "jump" from an SCP-033 secure surface to a non-manufactured surface or electronic device, which will destabilize at least one (1) entity , this requires us to establish a system where there is no paper-like material or electronic equipment other than the safety surface of SCP-033 within 30m of SCP-033.
No 033 security specifications for SCP-033's electronic storage have yet been discovered. █ in ██ operational research projects are already working on finding such an electronic storage method. The ██ Operational Research Project is working on the application of SCP-033 as a deactivating agent for potentially hostile, mechanical logic-based SCP objects. Below there will be an explanation and commentary for non-professionals by Professor Hutchinson, which is located in Document 033-A, and the effects are recorded in Document 033-Q.

Document 033-A: Professor Hutchinson's report after first observation.
Professor Hutchinson: Every child who has gone to school knows that 2 plus 2 equals 4. This immutable mathematical sequence and value is the cornerstone of all logic-based systems. We know that after 2 is 3, and after 3 is 4. What this formula proves is that we are missing a number somewhere. Just imagine that all our technology is based on the understanding that 4 is followed by 6. We simply don’t know or don’t recognize the existence of 5. That's the point of what this formula proves, we're missing a number.
Professor Hutchinson: I can't tell you why handmade vellum works best, I can only speculate that it replaces mathematical predictability in two ways. The first is that the irregularities caused by human error in the manufacturing process erase all the regularity that can be found in mechanical products. The second is that this irregular border seems to disorient it in some way, as it looks like it is locked in and looking for a recognizable pattern to serve as an escape hatch. I will say however that I don't think it should be left on any surface for more than a few days. It always finds some form in the end.
Professor Hutchinson: I don't think it "destroyed" anything, I think it tried to integrate itself into our systems and our systems couldn't accommodate it. It's like trying to shoehorn a book into an already overflowing bookshelf. If you have a hammer, you will be able to do this, but the bookshelf will eventually explode. If it escaped onto the Internet, we could experience a complete breakdown of our IT infrastructure within hours.

Document 033-Q: Experimental results, passed Experiment 033-Delta 5.
SCP-033 was written on a piece of standard 8.5x11 inch industrial copy paper (hereinafter referred to as X1), with an identical piece of paper (hereinafter referred to as X2) placed 30cm away from it.
80 seconds later: The symbols making up SCP-033 begin to appear on X2, X1 remains unchanged.
160 seconds later: The entire SCP-033 formula appears on X2, X1 remains unchanged.
After 320 seconds: X1 and X2 become wet, and the formula is still visible.
640 seconds later: X1 is approximately 1 part water (obviously) 5 parts pulp-like substance, still occupying an 8.5x11 inch surface, the symbol becomes unreadable, X2 is still wet, and the symbol is visible.
1280 seconds later: X1 is no longer visible. The liquid part evaporates and the pulp-like part sublimates significantly. X2 has become approximately one part water and five parts pulp-like substance, still occupying a plane of 8.5x11 inches, and the symbols are unreadable.
2560 seconds later: X2 is no longer visible, the liquid part has evaporated, and the pulp-like part has obviously sublimated.
