Increased mission difficulty and larger scale!
The long-awaited final three volumes of "Science Specialized Middle School" have been published!

The science mystery novel series "Science Specialized Middle School" published by Tteundol Publishing is written by Dr. Ver, who holds a Ph.D. in Energy Systems Engineering from Seoul National University and is the author of the Naver webtoon "Doctor & Doctor Parenting Diary," to introduce the fun of science to young people.
This series consists of three volumes, and the illustrations by artist Lippe, who is loved by young people for his gorgeous and detailed background descriptions and cute and warm character designs, further enhance the immersion into the world.
Following volumes 1 and 2 published in 2022, volume 3, "The Tree of Hope Blooming Beneath a Pour of Meteors," depicts a fierce battle between second-year and first-year students over a suspicious quiz game.
The science specialized middle school became even more bustling with the arrival of new students.
Who will be the ultimate winner of this thrilling competition that includes the return of the entrance ceremony, the first sports competition, and a spectacular cultural festival?

“But the more I look at it, the more amazing it becomes.
“How did they make all these eyes?”
“It’s about freezing very small water droplets in cold weather.
They say that using a specially shaped propeller, water droplets can be split into pieces of about 5㎛.
Then, the surface area in contact with air increases, causing the water to freeze quickly and turn into snow.”
"I see."
Lina liked how every time she asked Nagi something, he answered right away.
If I think about it, I was a very curious child when I was young.
But when I asked my mom or dad something, I often got answers like, "I don't know," "You figure that out yourself," or "Look it up yourself."
In this way, Lina gradually became a child who did not ask questions.
In that respect, I thought Nagi would be a really good father.

Even now, Nagi's suspicions remain unresolved.
Why would you bother adding alkali metals to water? Alkali metals react violently with water, which can be quite daunting and potentially fatal if you're not prepared.
Considering the height of the nest, it was quite possible that he would have tripped and fallen from the chair.
But the piece of metal was too small to be considered simply malicious.
If the piece of metal had been the size of a quail egg instead of a soybean, it would have caused an explosion rather than just a surprise.
Or they could have used an alkali metal further down the periodic table.
The alkali metals react more violently with water as the period increases.
If it were potassium of the same size, it would have scattered and exploded as soon as it hit the water surface, and if it were rubidium, it would have exploded along with the vial.
Who? Why?
Numerous questions continued endlessly in Nagi's head.
The most important question was the connection between Project Guardians and the school's secrets.
But there was too little information to make a judgment at this point.

Mr. Gong Wi-seong walked among the children and when he passed In-ja, he lightly tapped him on the shoulder and left.
At that light vibration, a question suddenly popped out of the man's mind.
“Teacher, what is electricity?”
This was the first time that Inja had asked a question during class.
He was always looking for answers to anything he didn't know, but he didn't want to reveal it to anyone.
“…Electricity, at a shallow level, is the flow of charge moving through a wire.
But if we delve a little deeper, we learn that light is also a type of electromagnetic wave, and that magnetic fields are also inseparable from electricity.
So the definition of electricity extends to all physical phenomena that arise from the presence of electric charge.
“So, let’s spend the remaining time talking about the history of electromagnetic force.”

When Inseong and Nagi were shaking the whiteboard with the correct answers written on it, Inja put down the whiteboard with the words 'Inja No. 2' written on it and stood up.
Inseong said with a sly expression.
“If this is the case, isn’t it No. 3?”
“Do you think no one saw it?”
In-seong's heart sank at the man's one word.
“What, what… I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
While In-seong was struggling to control his expression, In-ja laughed at him as if he didn't care.
“Just keep living like that.
“I’m No. 2, but you’re nothing.”
As soon as In-ja left the room, the first-year students came running and washed In-seong away.
For the first-year students, In-seong was a hero who passed the final problem in the game with the second-year students.
Even while going through countless touches and weightlessness, Insung couldn't smile.

“I will follow Teacher Baekhwaran.
And someday, someday in the distant future, if I can take one more step at the end of that road, there would be nothing happier than that.”
Although Mido could only see Lina's back, she could feel the confidence in her expression.
Lina planned to imitate everything she could while she was with Teacher Baekhwaran.
I always thought that was the only way to make up for the three lost years.
But the real goal was to take a new step forward with his own dance.
Ballet, no, most of the civilizations that mankind has achieved have developed that way.

“The safety factor is the ratio of the actual strength of the structure to the strength required for calculation.
For rockets, the safety factor is around 1.2 to 1.4.
When designing a rocket, it means making it capable of withstanding 20 to 40 percent more force than what is calculated to be required.
Anything more powerful than this would be a waste.
Because it's more beneficial to make a rocket a little lighter than to make it able to withstand 200% of its force.
In fact, for parts that take up a lot of mass, such as the propellant tanks that are filled with oxidizer and fuel, we conduct experiments to destroy them with hydraulic pressure, and if they do not break even with 150% force, we redesign them.” The students loved Mr. Gong’s rocket stories.
Because those stories were so vivid and exciting.
As we were talking about the brittle fracture characteristics of high-strength materials, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. Some of the children who had been absorbed in the story let out a sigh of disappointment.
