Since the Middle Ages, there have been numerous stories about alchemy. Some got rich off it, others acquired fame, but none of them was ever satisfied. They hankered after wealth, fame and even longer lives.
Nobody really cares about the authenticity of the story of the Philosopher's Stone. It could be entirely fictional, or a mere deduction made from old accounts. Most alchemists are very imaginative and, by taking bits and pieces from old books, they created and perfected the idea of the stone. It was mixed with numerous rumors, which eventually captured the masses' hearts.
The expedition in the pursuit of alchemy thus began.

The following content is excerpted from a manuscript:

Goal of Experiment: to determine the effectiveness of al-iksir

hypothesis: Al-iksir is an adhesive material and thus is capable of lowering

the metal activities

Approach:

1. Decompose carmot into highly-active elements (mostly fire, earth, water, air);

2. Acquire base metal (brass, anglesite, pig iron) through purification, allow them to react under -24℃

for 33 hours 52 minutes 51 minutes;

3. Mix the base metal with 100% al-iksir solution, 77.32% solution and 29.76% solution

respectively and wait for them to react.

Pandora Wilson: ... It seems I interrupted your wine-tasting.
APPLe: Ahem, it's okay. This APPLe is only performing a small experiment regarding the
fermentation of wine.
Pandora Wilson: As far as I know, someone sent an anonymous report to the
Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Monde and it had a profound influence
on the choice of new fermentation material ... Mr. APPLe, where are you going?
APPLe: Sorry, but this APPLe has no interest in what you are talking about.
Pandora Wilson: Even if it was your own achievement?
APPLe: The credit goes to many people, not just a single
fruit.
