Introduction
As requested by @Rubio, I am here to state that this is a metapuzzle based on other puzzles listed below.

The Puzzle
Or does it? Answer is a two-digit number.

Answers from various users in different questions:
1) Cryptic, then Crossword, then Clues
CARBON (by Gareth McCaughan)
CALCIUM (by Gareth McCaughan)
VANADIUM (by phenomist)
GERMANIUM (by Gareth McCaughan, still...)
LEAD (by JS1)
6) Nono-Cube: Approach at Your Own Risk
RADIUM (by Gareth McCaughan, again!!)
DUBNIUM (by Gareth McCaughan, for the $n^{th}$ time...)
The metapuzzles part is yet to be solved...

Answer
As JProblems found out, the cipher is Morse code but with
|
instead of-
. In decimal form, it's6-2-7-3//1/4-5
.Using the answer from each subpuzzle (e.g. the sixth answer is radium, so substitute 6 → radium), we get:
radium-calcium-dubnium-vanadium//carbon/germanium-lead
.This describes lines drawn on the periodic table:
So the final two-digit answer is
the atomic number of Ni (nickel), which is 28.
