Vol 2 Chapter 18: Reply
The sun was shining at noon, and the study was golden.
At this point, Douglas and Lucian had left separately, and only Fernando was sitting quietly in the chair.
Previously, the two giants discussed the submission and publication of Lucien's research results, and decided to add a few more papers to the next issue of Arcane. Several arcane masters discussed the laws behind the formula from various angles, but suffered miserably. Failed papers, so that most Arcanists will not be directly impacted by the subversive common assumptions.
This is not to allow them to accept Lucien's results now. After all, the premise of "discontinuity of energy" is only based on hypotheses, but to let them read through these articles and have a psychological preparation. From a normal perspective, they are already powerless. Maybe Next, it must be beyond the accepted concepts to explain. At the same time, in the additional articles, the Arcanist will repeatedly emphasize that to solve the problem, they may have to make "hypothesis", and repeatedly present the word "hypothesis" to the magicians. Impressed.
"Shocking, incredible, subverting cognition ..." Fernando whispered to himself the assumptions made by Lucien, and laughed a little narrowly, "the first half of the dissertation sent to others has actually changed the other The explanations are rejected one by one. The second half that has not been sent is just a complete explanation, analysis and premise of the formula. I do n’t know who can get the content of the second half based on the first half of the thesis, and I ca n’t accept it. Hypothesis, Hathaway, or Brook? "
Hathaway is the founder of atomic theory. Based on this knowledge, she favors Douglas's particle theory, which is most likely to make similar assumptions. The other four Arcanist are standard wave school, especially based on Brook is the most determined, but of these five Arcanists, Brook is the strongest and the closest to the real world. It may be possible for him to complete the derivation first.
"Hey, I guess the order they came to and came to me, Hathaway, Brook, Oliver, Helen, Vicente?" Fernando behaved as humorously as usual, with a slight smile on his face meaning.
When he said to himself, he turned his gaze and suddenly saw the whole mirror in the corner of the study. The mirror reflected an old man wearing a bright red magic robe, silver-haired, frosty, and black.
The smile freezes and gradually disappears. Fernando lifts his right hand, touches his white hair, and then sighs gently. He takes out an old note from the desk, turns it to the last few pages, and lifts the quill to write:
"July 6th, sunny, breeze, suddenly I feel a little old."
I lowered my quill and turned to look out the window. His bright eyes stabbed his eyes slightly.
Uh ...
I went home.
The housekeeper Leo greeted us with a strange look at Lucian's face, but said nothing, and after finishing his studies, Sprint, who was preparing to have lunch, was curious and asked, "Mr. Evans, why is your face? Is it so bad? Is it difficult to answer the question that the storm dominates you today? "
So you yelled at him violently? This was something Sprint hadn't swallowed in his stomach.
"Pale face?" Lucian asked in confusion, then turned to look at a crystal statue in the living room. Although the picture reflected on it was vague, Lucian could clearly perceive that his face was pale. Just got out of the graveyard.
Is the legendary coercion so horrible? I ignored a lot under my "confrontation". I just remembered that my body was cold and sweaty, the air was freezing, my eyes flashed, and my ears thundered.
"Yes, the teacher's question is difficult to answer, it is related to saving the world and safeguarding peace." Lucian smiled.
Sprint couldn't stand the cold humor from time to time, and quietly twitched his teacher: "Mr. Evans, don't make a joke, is your Lord the storm who wants to destroy the world, but you stop it?"
"Sprint, you said the opposite. I wanted to destroy the world, but I was stopped by the teacher." Although his face was bad, Lucian was in a good mood. After all, without breaking his teacher's head, he would smoothly The discontinued hypothesis of energy was thrown out, so he joked cheerfully.
Sprint had a proud personality, and he was not the kind of person who was good at joking and talking. At this time, he could only look up helplessly at the ceiling: "Mr. Evans, it's time to have lunch, to destroy the world, and so on. "
I watched the servants rush out with the food, and watched the small steak that had been eaten many times. Lucian couldn't help rubbing his forehead and had to let them try other dishes.
As soon as the thought started, the servant led Katrina in, her silky blonde hair ponytailed, and she jumped lively, her face filled with brilliant joy.
"Mr. Evans, your application for the 'Atomic Research Institute' has been approved." Katrina exclaimed cheerfully, holding the documents in her hand.
Baluchien was quite surprised: "So fast? Just a few days?"
Isn't the approval of the Arcane research project generally more than two weeks? It seems to be exactly one week to submit the application yourself.
"With the signature of Your Excellency the Arcanist, how could the gentlemen of the Magic Research Committee be procrastinated?" Katrina said first-hand inside information, and then looked forward to the authentic, "Mr. Evans, see what the result is!"
The document is sealed in a bag and requires Lucian's Arcane and Magic Badges to open.
"Should approve it?" Sprint had been waiting for the establishment of the "Atomic Research Institute" for a long time. After seeing the documents, he was both looking forward to and fearing, and looked nervous.
Balussian calmly removed the Arcane Badge and placed it on the magic mark inlaid on the bag seal.
A faint flash of light, the magic mark disappeared, Lucian took out the documents, read the opening carefully, and smiled at Sprint and Katrina: "The gentlemen of the magic research committee have agreed to my application and said This is a new form of research organization, and I hope that I can work hard and set an example for the approval of similar projects in the future. "
"Great!" Sprint shook his fist heavily, beaming with joy.
Katrina needs to be a little more stable, but with a smile on her face, she said, "Congratulations, Teacher Evans, Congratulations, Teacher Evans ..."
If Heidi and Lei Liya know, it is estimated that they will cheer "Mysteries on the spot" on the spot, right? Lucian opened his arms and accepted the congratulations of Katrina and Sprint. He said in his heart silently: "Young people, your social experience is still too shallow. The meaning of these words is clearly, 'Look at the storm For the Lord ’s sake, we agreed with your ridiculous so-called new-form research group, but you also have to make a certain result, otherwise everyone's face will not look good! '"
"Mr. Evans, where is our institute?" After finally calming down a bit, Katrina looked at Lucian with bright eyes.
Lucien took the document and looked to the back: "On the eighth floor of the parliament headquarters, the seventh laboratory and its subsidiary meeting rooms and offices. At the same time, let me propose to the laboratory magic circle, alchemy circle and large-scale alchemy within a week. For the installation requirements, the magic research committee will review and modify the laboratory accordingly. It will take about two to three weeks, that is, at the end of July or early August, our "Atomic Research Institute" was officially established. "
"By the way, apart from the basic renovation, the monthly subsidy to us is 5,000 arcane points for purchasing materials, completing experiments, and giving you salaries. I initially decided that the advanced magic apprenticeship is ten monthly. Arcane points are based on the specific level of the magician. For example, a second-level arcanist like Lazar and a second-level magician have a hundred arcane points. "
的 The host of a research institute like me will not get paid. Anyway, "individual experimental depletion" is reported in the research project, and Lucian silently fills in his stomach. This is the hidden rule of the Magic Council.
那么 "So many ?!" Sprint and Katrina blurted out in surprise and joy. This was the standard of a formal magician. You should know that Teacher Evans had only ten arcane points a month at the magic school!
And in the "Atomic Research Institute", you can also see the free basic arcane books provided by Mr. Evans. You can also use the laboratory for free, buy experimental materials at cost, and add such a high salary. It is a magic apprenticeship and formal. The magician's dream job!
Like Lazar, who is currently working on Elemental Will, salary, subsidies of both Magic Council and Elemental Will, and harvests from new magic and thesis awards all average only 50 or 60 arcane points a month, and Katrina Working in one of the best positions for so-called magic apprenticeships is only four arcane points in January.
"Of course, the" Atomic Research Institute "is bound to be the most important research department of the future magic council. The salary of researchers in it must be higher than elsewhere, otherwise how can it be important?" Lucian answered with a joke. "But in the early days of the institute, you didn't need much manpower. Apart from a few of you apprentices, I only plan to hire two or three more formal magicians, one intermediate wizard."
Sprint drew his lips and said, "Teacher Evans, you are so confident."
"I believe you, Teacher Evans, you almost shared the laurels this time. After you have completed your research on arcane and magic, maybe you will get the highest honor like Miss Rachel!" Katrina is also half-joking To answer.
Kulu Xien laughed with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. The research committee stated at the end that if we fail to pass the results of their review within three years, the Atomic Research Institute will be cancelled."
Such a condition confirms Lucian's speculation, if not many arcane research cycles are long, it is estimated that the deadline proposed by the magic research committee is one year.
"Mr. Evans, we will work hard!" Katrina and Splinter replied solemnly Can't let the institute be cancelled due to the slackness of everyone!
Kussien raised the document: "Katrina, let's have lunch together. In the afternoon, we will go to the laboratory environment and decide which magic circle and alchemy device are needed."
Uh ...
Looking at the death of "Death Master" Vicente, Fernando mocked: "You are the most backward Arcanist in inferring this problem!"
脸 His face was rosy, and he was full of vitality because of an intense quarrel and roar all afternoon.
Seeing that Vicente did not respond, Fernando paced back and forth in the study with a little excitement, and finally took out the old notebook and added it to the words written in the morning:
"After one afternoon of arguing and refuting their mistakes, I seem to have restored my youth and full of strength. The world is so mysterious and awesome. We are so small in front of it, but this does not stop us from exploring. Its essence is close to its reality. On this road, it is full of dazzling and impenetrable scenery. "
"I will go on until the day of total death."
Uh ...
Satisfied with visiting the unformed "Atomic Research Institute", when Lucian was about to leave and go home to write a request for a magic circle and alchemy device, suddenly he heard a voice of doubt on the other side of the corridor:
"Lucien? Mr. Evans?"
She raised her head, and Lucian saw Rachel, a contacted girl, standing next to a dignified and beautiful lady. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and give rewards to the mobile network (), your support is my biggest motivation.)
