It is also interesting to note that an emporer of the time burned all the books on alchemy because they had discovered how to turn lead into gold and were concerned about it’s disruption to the financial stability. Now we all know that lead into gold is a fairy tale, but in modern physics it is possible to turn mercury into gold with a neutron source through noble metal transmutation, regardless of how picky about spelling you are I still find this amazing don’t you?

Now that’s just goofy. The Chinese ancients did not have liquid helium, and the material has nothing special in that way at room temp. And they had no f’ing clue about how to transmute elements. Sorry, I thought you had a brain; my mistake.
