Vol 2 Chapter 10: assistant
After throwing out his "guessing", the study room was quiet, and it seemed that the air was completely frozen, and did not transmit the slightest sound.
From the point of view of the atom, he directly abandoned the core definition of "atomism", one of the foundations of modern arcane art. Lucien thought he was too crazy. "Thoughts" would rant and blame, but Fernando kept smiling, red The pupil stared at his eyes as though he could see through the heart, without saying a word for a long time.
Just when this unspeakable pressure made Lucian a bit breathless, the storm leader Fernando nodded slightly: "In fact, after a long period of discussion after you discovered the regularity of the element cycle, I and Hathaway are A consensus has been reached. If you want to continue to study related issues in the field of elements and atoms, you must temporarily forget some of the inherent cognitions. Among them, the definition of atoms is the most basic part of matter. They do not help to solve the problem, but will The idea that binds us. The premise that we reach this consensus is based on the concept of 'the most basic should be the most concise' you just mentioned. "
"Ah?" Lucian hadn't expected that the two Arcanists had taken a step ahead of the road of abandoning the definition of the atomic theory. Are they not afraid that the cognitive world will shake and subvert and blow their heads?
Perhaps because of the doubt in Lucian's heart, Fernando showed a common cynical smile: "Lucian, do you think that our great Arcanists are stubborn and refuse to accept any new ideas and are unwilling to Stupid confessing to your past cognitive errors? "
Before waiting for Lucien to answer, he smiled again and again: "Being able to stand at the top of this world and approach the essence of all things, we all understand that if truth is a vast starry sky, then we only see it. Some stars must be humble and open at all times. When it is time to abandon, you must abandon it resolutely. Now that you see the problem, you cannot pretend to ignore it, but you should study why. "
"To make the cognitive world of legendary magicians collapse. It must completely subvert the foundation of their knowledge, and come with a strong stance with a sudden impact, or at least part of the legendary cognitive world will be damaged and solidified. It ’s difficult to improve. Of course, maybe we have n’t explored enough, and we have n’t seen a new understanding that makes everyone confused, shaken, and incomprehensible. "
Fernando's description of the cognitive world seems somewhat different from what Lucian had known in the past.
"Relatively. The legendary magicians are also very insistent on their viewpoints. Without complete, rigorous and practical proof, they can't shake their attitudes. Hathaway and I also followed the research, the problem was discovered, and philosophical speculation Conflicts before they reach a consensus. "
A bit inconsistent in Fernando's description. Lucien's head is thoughtfully, this is the contradictory words of persistence and modesty that the teacher said before.
Fernando concluded: "In the mind of every Arcanist, there is a saying,‘ Sometimes, our past experience and knowledge are an obstacle to our progress. '”
When the storm master finished speaking, Lucian quietly sighed and showed a "sincere" smile: "Teacher, since you and His Excellency Hathaway are so close to me in terms of the atom. Can you support me in establishing the 'Atomic Research Institute'? '?'
"Only one point of view seems a bit inadequate. Lucian, what novelty do you have?" Fernando laughed like an old fox, feeling that Lucian's mind was full of novel ideas, and if he squeezed it, he might pop out An enlightening point.
Lucian resolutely shook his head: "Teacher, there is no more, so we have to establish the 'Atomic Research Institute' and explore slowly."
"Let ’s do this, Lucian, before you become the fifth ring, I will see how well you follow me. Otherwise, the atomic research institute I support will not be able to get anything, and will be laughed at by other legendary magicians." Fernando's wretched smile of "boy, show well".
Lucien understood that this meant the test, and Zheng Jianjian headed: "Teacher, I will work hard."
At least before being promoted. My own mathematical foundation and knowledge of magic such as elements and electromagnetics are absolutely sufficient. The main problem is that the relatively good astrology, tangled in the fate, blessing, and curse, is difficult to integrate with astronomical mechanics.
The two sides reached an agreement, and Lucien asked for advice: "Teacher, how do you modify my application? It is really grandiose, big and empty."
"Why change?" Fernando exaggeratedly surprised. "Only your signature, of course, is magnificent, large and empty. If you add my signature and support from Hathaway, it is ambitious and ambitious to make up for the parliament. The lack of arcane research projects has opened up new forms of research. "
Lucien was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, Lucian, read these letters, read one by one." Fernando leaned back on the high-backed chair, his eyes closed, as if in thought.
Although he didn't understand why Fernando didn't choose to read this more economical way, but let himself read the letter, he was not the kind of pretender, but the confused Lucian took the first one.
Juan Xiu's beautiful handwriting reflected in her pupils, Lucian aimed at the envelope at random, with the name "Yaluo Lan Hathaway Hofenberg" written on it.
"Letters from the Arcanist let me read, too, aren't you afraid of leaking secrets?" The strong surprise made Lucian a little stunned.
"Read it quickly," Fernando urged.
Lucian took back the surprise and doubt, and read from the beginning: "Fernando, according to your opinion, I tried to improve the design of the magic circle so that it can separate out the weaker differences. Here is the improved magic circle ..."
Reading and reading, Lucian was both surprised and funny.
I was surprised because the problem discussed by the two Arcanists was one of the research directions that his "Atomic Institute" intended: separation of isotopes!
Through the application of the periodic table of elements in practice, more and more arcanists have realized that the atomic weight of how the measured data remains the same is indeed an error, but the current method is difficult to correct, while Fernando and Hathaway are Note that the problem is concentrated on atomic weight. Because the atomic weight is reflected in the mass of an object, they try to remove "impurities" by electromagnetic, centrifugal and other methods-and only legendary magicians can build a suitable magic array under the current conditions.
Lucian thinks it's funny because Hathaway's writing level is a bit inconsistent with her status as an Arcanist, and she is often unsatisfactory. The language is rigid and confusing and has to rely on a large number of magic symbols to describe it.
When Lucien finished reading, Fernando grinned narrowly: "Every time I read Hathaway's thesis and letter, I was always suffering. It is said that when she was a princess, she never passed the literature class. Each of her papers You have to get her students or a little guy like Morris to polish it up again. Otherwise, there is no way to publish it in a journal. "
This is the secret of the Arcanist, will it be destroyed? Lucien thought humorously.
"Lucien, what do you think of the content of this letter? I remember you mentioned this possibility at the beginning." Fernando asked coldly.
Lucien organized the language: "Separation in this way, the greater the quality difference, the easier it is, you should choose heavy elements to experiment ..."
After speaking, Fernando asked questions about Lucien in several places in the thesis. If Lucien couldn't answer, he explained in detail, and even combined with the magic array experiments arranged by hand.
After the question was over, Fernando slowly spoke, and Lucian wrote a reply.
At this point, Lucian finally understood why Fernando wanted himself to read the letter. He used the most cutting-edge communication between legendary magicians to guide himself, so that he can broaden his knowledge and horizons while studying.
Such guidance must be built on the premise that the disciples themselves have a solid foundation of arcane art, otherwise it is purely "playing the ox on the cow", so when Lucien read the second letter, he was fully devoted and became dedicated, lest he be asked Silent and roaring.
…………
The author of the second letter is even more famous. The meticulous and steady handwriting read "Derek Douglas".
"... All arcanists know that the propagation of waves requires a medium, but what does light and spiritual force pass on in the cosmic starry sky ... As long as a substance exists, no matter how hidden it is, there will be characteristics to show up, We discovered that the optical medium 'Ether' was preached before I was born and has not been confirmed until now. "
In the magic empire, the mysterious "Ether" is also used to name an alchemy material, which is often confused by beginners.
"... Brook they think that the wave theory has completely won. But I don't think so. I designed a simple and intuitive experiment to verify it. If there is really an ether and dense sky, when our world revolves around the sun There must be a relative resistance when it changes the speed of light ... "
Fernando listened quietly. Commenting casually: "Douglas made a lot of efforts on the particle doctrine of light and mental power, which delayed the victory of the wave theory. His insistence on this aspect surpassed anyone and made more arcanists have to face up The media problem of wave theory. What do you think of Lucian in this experiment? "
"Even if it proves that there is no" Ether ", the efforts of His Excellency the Speaker will not be faced squarely, because this experiment is based on the establishment of his model of the universe, but until now, we have not found a single star. Experiments on a hypothesis are difficult to convince everyone. "Lucian expressed a pessimistic view.
Fernando nodded gently: "It's a sober understanding, but he can't convince the old and stubborn Douglas. He will continue to experiment. However, this experiment also has a certain meaning. At least a direction to verify the existence of the" Ether "is proposed. There must be similar experiments that are not based on hypotheses. "
Then, he asked a series of questions about the particle theory and wave theory of light and spiritual power. He asked Lucien so much pressure that he tried his best to answer smoothly.
By the time Fernando asked, Lucien found himself a little tired, thinking hard and mentally. Where Lucien's answer was not so perfect, Fernando combined the specific light and dark and spiritual magic to slowly repeat and explain, so that Lucien learned a lot.
After the two Arcanists, letters from more than a dozen legendary magicians and archmages covered the contents of eleven factions. Such comprehensive guidance made Lucian both exhausted and excited, and he could not think of Fernando's unique insights on transformation, calling, and necromancy.
After reading the letter It was almost noon, Fernando took Lucian to the laboratory to set up a spherical shell-shaped cavity painted in black, which is an ideal model of heat radiation.
"Well, Lucian, tomorrow will still read the letter before starting the experiment." Fernando signaled that Lucian could leave.
Lucien walked out of the laboratory with a sense of debility. The hours of thinking were really exhausting, and the life of the assistant was harder than he thought.
At this time, Tangpu came face-to-face. After seeing Lucian's face, he smiled very understandingly: "Evans, hard work, but this will greatly help your arcane improvement."
"It's really painful and satisfying." Lucian sighed, and asked with a little regret, "Why did electromagnetic communication have been invented, and the teacher still communicates with other lords by letter?"
"On the one hand, the letter can carry more arcane content that is difficult to verbally express, on the other hand," Tang Pu paused, looked at the laboratory quietly, and hehe smiled, "the other lord would rather choose the letter."
