Abstract:

Noble gases are a group of elements with chemical inertness. They have similar properties, and are widely applied to all aspects of human life and production. In an anthropomorphic way, the content, density, boiling point, chemical reactivity and other physical and chemical properties of seven kinds of noble gases (Seven Sages) have been introduced by constructing virtual world tales, inserted with a story of noble gas compounds. Meanwhile, with the development of the story as the main line, it mainly introduces the applications of noble gases to aerospace ion thruster, earthquake prediction, medicine and other fields.

Key words: Noble gases, Ionic propellants, Earthquake prediction, Cancer treatment
