When we study the materials present on earth we realize that these are the balanced result after millions of years of constant transformations. Metallurgy will represent a set of unnatural seeking techniques to reverse the existing balance in order to obtain different metals or metal alloys tailored to our own needs.
This “crime” performed by metallurgists requires as well a high use of energy and the development of ordered novel structures, as the first step in the genesis of a new chaos. Once converted the different metals into pure state, actual alchemists start playing to find the diverse combinations that will allow to find the philosopher's stone of modern times.
