The Spectroscopy Theory

Part Four

Chemistry, Azulryllium, and the Framework

Elias started to observe the swirling blue Azulrythium in a flask on his desk. He started wondering about the link that existed within this smoke.

“When Rainbow Dash had the link under her hoof, she wasn’t translocated so that means that the link isn’t active,” Elias thought “So what would activate?” Elias continued thinking “Electricity!” Elias thought that this had to be it since lightning has extreme amounts of energy. “But lightning doesn’t conduct through gas. I have to change the Azulrythium into a liquid.”

Elias went into his supply closet and grabbed a different kind of glass flasks. This one was a phial with a glass tube running from the top of it into another flask. Elias uncorked the flask on the bottom. He had a rather odd idea that he needs to add water into the gas. Why? One, because it would conduct the electricity better, and two, it would help with cooling the Azulrythium into a liquid.

Elias grabbed the phial containing the Azulrythium and carefully transferred it into the bottom phial of the flask rack. The smoke ran up through the glass tube and into the top flask. Elias went and filled a phial with a somewhat small amount of water. He went back to the flasks and filled the bottom one with the water. Elias went back to his supply closet and grabbed a hot plate that he plugged into an outlet in the wall.

Once the plate started to boil the water, the steam traveled through the glass tube and mixed with the Azulrythium. This was what had to be activated; this was the link at its most visible state. Later on, the mixture of water being in the Azulrythium allowed the mixture to turn into liquid at room temperature.

“Next was to get electricity in contact with the liquid,” Elias thought as he poured the pure blue liquid into a phial. “Great, I hope this will turn out to be easier than what I think it is going to be.”

Elias continued to think. “What if this is supposed to act as some kind of a portal?” Elias thought “Maybe I have to make some kind of metal framework to hold the liquid while also conducting electricity through it. Hmm, this means I’m going to have to get some metalsmithing done,” Elias thought grabbing some iron piping from the supply closet. “Hmm, the length seems right. Ooh, Gage likes blacksmithing; maybe he will be willing to bend the piping.” Elias walked out of the study, down the hallway, and into Gages room, who, not surprisingly was still on his x-box, Rainbow Dash watching him play his video games.

“Hey Gage, I have a project for you that you might enjoy.”

“Sure, what is it?” Gage inquired.

“I need you to take this metal pipe,” Elias said, pointing at the iron pipe in his hands “And bend it into a ¾ circle.”

“Sweet, I haven’t done any blacksmithing in a while,”

“Awesome,”

“Ooh, can I help?” Rainbow Dash asked. Elias thought about this.

“What do you think, Gage?” Elias asked.

“If she can be safe, sure” he responded.

“Ok, Rainbow Dash, but you have to promise to be careful and follow Gage’s orders,” Elias said.

“Awesome!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, heading towards the door followed by Gage.

“Gage,” Elias said before Gage could leave “Make sure you keep her safe.” Elias gave him the iron pipe. Gage gave a nod and headed outside towards his fire pit, Rainbow Dash following behind him. Elias moved over to the x-box and started to play some of his favorite games like The Lord of the Rings: Conquest.

Later on, when it was about evening twilight, Rainbow Dash and Gage came back inside.

“The metal should be cooled down tomorrow,” Gage said sitting next to Elias on the couch watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (a movie that Elias always loved).

“Awesome, thanks Gage. Thanks Rainbow Dash,” Elias said.

“You’re welcome,” Rainbow Dash replied taking a seat next to Elias.

“You’re welcome,” Gage said.

*The next day*

Elias woke up and had a breakfast of some breakfast *lawl*. Once, he was finished, he walked out the door and to the fire pit. An iron ¾ circle was lying next to the pit. Elias gave it a tap test to make sure the metal was cool enough to hold. Fortunately, it was. The frame was big enough for a human to go through, which was what Elias was aiming for.

“Where am I going to put this?” Elias thought. “I suppose I could put it in the basement.” Elias grabbed the frame and walked towards the house. Once he fit the frame through the door, he noticed Gage’s mother, Charlene, was now awake and eating breakfast. “Hey Charlene, can I put this in the basement,” Elias said showing her the frame.

“Sure thing,” Charlene said. Again, Elias was always grateful for Charlene always being accepting for she didn’t ask any questions about what the metal frame was for. Elias went down the stairs to the basement and leaned the frame along the wall. Elias walked back upstairs and into his study. The frame needed something to stand up on. Elias opened the supple closet and grabbed two sheets of iron out of the closet. In case you are wondering where Elias gets all this metal from, well, Gage makes his own swords and shields. Not some kind of simple length of sharpened metal, but actual legit weaponry.

Elias walked back to the dining room, where Gage was now eating breakfast.

“Could you please bend this sheet of metal into a triangle only without the bottom?” Elias asked Gage.

“Of course,” Gage said “I will after I finish breakfast.

“Awesome, thanks,”

“No problem,” Gage said as he finished his cereal. He grabbed the sheet of metal and went back outside. At that, Rainbow Dash came out from her room, which was Gage’s/ Elias’s room for there was a second bed lofted onto the wall which Elias slept in and another smaller bed which was for Rainbow Dash, this made the room a bit crammed but hey, I won’t get too into detail. Rainbow Dash ate a breakfast of some carrots and an apple.

“So, how is your sciency stuff going?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Pretty nice,” Elias responded.

“Awesome, so in anytime soon I will be able to go to Equestria?”

“Pretty much,” Elias said.

“Sweet,” Rainbow Dash stated as she went outside to go and play or practice her flying.

“Be careful,” Elias reminded as he grabbed the second sheet of metal and went outside and over to the fire pit where Gage was working.

“How’s it going?” Elias inquired.

“Oh, just waiting for the metal to get red hot,” Gage responded.

“How long should that take?”

“Not much longer now.” Elias examined the metal in the hot coal fire. The metal was almost completely red near the center. After a few minutes, Gage put on some very thick gloves and tongs, clamped the metal with the tongs, and lifted the sheet over to where an anvil was. Once he set it on the anvil, he grabbed a hammer and started to hammer the sheet into a “v” shape. Elias noticed an empty wooden bucket on the ground.

“I’m going to fill this with water that way we can cool the metal faster,” Elias said. Gage took a glance at what Elias was talking about.

“Ok,” he replied. Elias filled the bucket inside the house and went back outside. The metal was now formed into a well-angled “v”.

“Ok, go ahead and put the metal in here,” Elias said as he set the bucket on a table next to the anvil. Gage put the hot metal in the bucket of water. The water hissed and boiled when the metal contacted the water but that his soon died down. Elias checked on Rainbow Dash who was still working on getting into the air. After a few seconds, Gage took the metal out of the bucket and set it on the table.

“Ok, now I need you to weld this metal sheet,” Elias said picking up the metal sheet “Onto the bottom of that metal v.” Gage nodded and went to his supply crate. He pulled out a welding mask, a welder, and some welding flux. He started working on the welding. Elias went inside and grabbed his book, went back outside, and started to read.

After a couple of minutes, Elias decided to watch Rainbow Dash and her flying. She started to get a running start and when she had good speed she flapped her wings. She got a few good feet of the ground, but she soon started to descend back to the ground. Once she touched the ground, she looked around and saw Elias watching her. She trotted over to him.

“I can’t do it,” Rainbow Dash said.

“Yes you can. You were so close to doing it last time. Try again, I bet you’ll get it soon,” Elias responded. And at that, Rainbow Dash went back to where she was practicing. She tried again. She ran and got good speed she then leaped into the air and started flapping her wings. This time she went even higher about 5 ½ feet and she even sustained it this time longer. But she started to lose altitude and soon, she safely landed on the ground.

“You can do it!” Elias yelled “Try it again.” Elias even slipped in a faint “Yay”. She did the same process. She started to run and then jumped into the air and she flapped her wings faster than last time. She again rose a little higher than last time. Rainbow Dash sustained it for a while. Rainbow Dash was flying. She landed on the ground and trotted back to Elias.

“Awesome job, Rainbow Dash,” Elias said.

“Thanks dad, I mean, Elias,” Rainbow Dash said. Elias took the fact that she just called him dad into consideration. He lifted up a balled up fist and Rainbow Dash lifted her hoof and they, what one could say, bro-hoofed. Elias got up and walked over to Gage. He just got done welding the sheet onto the bottom of the metal v so that it now was a metal triangular prism.

“Ok, now I need you to follow me and bring your welding supplies,” Elias ordered. Elias went inside the house and so followed Gage and Rainbow Dash. Elias went downstairs into the basement. “I need you to weld that metal prism onto the part of that metal frame where the circle cuts off,”

“Sure thing,” Gage said and got to work on the welding. Elias and Rainbow Dash went back upstairs and into the study. Elias examined the new liquid he made earlier.

“Is that the Azulrythy thingy,” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yes but this is in its liquid form,” Elias responded.

“Ah, so what are you going to call it now?”

“I’m going to be calling it Azulryllium,”

“That’s cool, I guess; so now what are you going to do next?” Elias looked at the liquid and thought.

“I’m going to have to set up the translocation network’s portal.”…
