After throwing out his "guess" half-hiddenly, the study became quiet, as if even the air was completely frozen, not even a single faint sound could be transmitted.
From the atomic point of view, he directly abandoned the core definition of "atomism", one of the foundations of modern arcana. Lucien thought that his too crazy "idea" would be greeted with roars and accusations, but Fernando kept smiling, red
His pupils stared into his own eyes as if he could see through people's hearts, and he said nothing for a long time.
Just when this unspeakable pressure made Lucien a little out of breath, Storm Lord Fernando nodded slightly: "In fact, after you discovered the element periodicity, after a long discussion, Hathaway and I 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 inherent cognitions. Among them is the definition that atoms are the most basic components of matter. They will not help solve the problem, but will
The ideas that constrain us. And the premise for us to reach this consensus is based on the concept of 'the most basic should be the most concise' that you just mentioned."
"Ah?" Lucien didn't expect that the two great arcanists had already taken a step ahead on the road to abandoning part of the definition of atomism. Aren't they afraid that the cognitive world would be shaken and subverted, and their own heads blown off?
Perhaps sensing Lucien's doubts, Fernando showed his usual cynical smile: "Lucien, do you think we great arcanists are stubborn and unwilling to accept any new ideas?
A fool who admits his past cognitive errors?"
Before Lucien could answer, he smiled to himself: "To be able to stand at the top of this world and be close to the essence of all things, we all understand that if the truth is the vast starry sky, then we have only just seen it.
For some stars, you must always maintain a humble and open attitude, and resolutely abandon it when it is time to abandon it. Now that you have seen the problem, you cannot pretend to turn a blind eye, but you should study why."
"In order for the cognitive world of legendary magicians to collapse, the foundation of their understanding must be completely overturned, and it must come with strong evidence in a sudden impact. Otherwise, at most, part of the legendary magician's cognitive world will be damaged and solidified.
.It’s difficult to improve. Of course, maybe we haven’t explored enough, and there hasn’t been a new understanding that makes everyone confused, shaken, and unable to understand.”
Fernando's description of the cognitive world seems to be somewhat different from what Lucien used to know.
"On the contrary, the legendary magicians are also very insistent on their opinions. Without complete, rigorous, practical and powerful proof, it is impossible to shake their attitude. Hathaway and I also discovered the problem and philosophical speculation as the research deepened.
It was only after the conflicts emerged that a consensus was slowly reached."
Regarding the inconsistencies in Fernando's description, Lucien nodded thoughtfully. This was the two contradictory words that the teacher had mentioned before: persistence and humility.
Fernando finally concluded: "There is a saying engraved in the heart of every great arcanist, 'Sometimes, past experience and knowledge actually hinder our progress'."
When the Storm Lord finished speaking, Lucien quietly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a "sincere" smile: "Teacher, since you and Mr. Hathaway are so similar to me in terms of atomic views, can you support me in establishing the Atomic Research Institute?
'?"
"Just relying on one point of view seems a bit insufficient. Lucien, do you have any novel insights?" Fernando smiled like an old fox. He felt that Lucien's mind was full of novel ideas, and if he squeezed them a little more, they might pop out.
An enlightening perspective.
Lucien shook his head resolutely: "Teacher, there is no more, so we have to establish an 'Atomic Research Institute' to explore slowly."
"Let's do this, Lucien. Before you become the fifth ring, I will see how well you study with me. Otherwise, the Atomic Research Institute that I support will not be able to produce anything and will be laughed at by other legendary magicians."
Fernando had a lewd smile that said, "Young man, behave well."
Lucien understood that this implied the intention of taking the exam, and solemnly nodded: "Teacher, I will work hard."
At least before advancing to a high level, my mathematical foundation and knowledge of elements, electromagnetism and other magic are definitely sufficient. The main problem lies in the star system that I am good at. I am entangled in fate, blessing and curse, and it is somewhat difficult to communicate with the celestial body.
Mechanics are integrated.
The two parties reached an agreement, and Lucien took the opportunity to ask for advice: "Teacher, please tell me how to modify my application. It is too high-sounding, large and empty."
"Why should it be changed?" Fernando showed exaggerated surprise, "Only your signature is of course high-sounding, large and empty. If you add Hathaway and I's supporting signatures, it is far-sighted and profound, which makes up for the parliament.
The shortcomings of arcane research projects have opened up new forms of research."
Lucien was immediately speechless.
"Okay, Lucien, come and read these letters, one by one." Fernando leaned back on the high-backed chair and closed his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
Although he didn't understand why Fernando didn't choose the more trouble-free way of reading the letter by himself, and he was not the kind of person to show off, Lucien, who was full of doubts, still picked up the first letter.
Juanxiu's beautiful handwriting reflected in his pupils, Lucien glanced at the envelope casually, and the name "Yaloran Hathaway Hoffenberg" was written on it.
"You also let me read the letters between the great arcanists. Aren't you afraid of revealing the secrets?" Lucien was stunned by the strong surprise.
"Read quickly." Fernando urged.
Lucien retracted his surprise and doubts and started reading from the beginning: "Fernando, according to your opinion, I tried to improve the design of the magic circle so that it can separate even weaker differences. The following is the improved magic circle..."
As he read it, Lucien was both surprised and amused.
I was surprised because the issue discussed by the two great arcane masters was one of the research directions planned by their "Atomic Research Institute": separation of isotopes!
Through the application of the periodic table of elements in practice, more and more arcanists have realized that the atomic weights that remain unchanged no matter how they are measured are indeed errors, but it is difficult to correct them with the current method. Fernando and Hathaway, however,
Notice that the problem focuses on atomic weight. Because atomic weight is reflected as the mass of an object, they try to remove "impurities" through electromagnetism, centrifugation, etc. Only legendary magicians can build a suitable magic circle under the current conditions.
Lucien found it funny because Hathaway's writing skills were somewhat inconsistent with her status as a Grand Arcanist. Her words often failed to convey the meaning, her language was dull and confusing, and she had to rely on a large number of magic symbols to describe.
After Lucien finished reading, Fernando smiled narrowly: "Every time I read Hathaway's papers and letters, it is always very painful. It is said that when she was a princess, she never failed her literature class. Every one of her papers
She has to ask her students or Morris and other little guys to polish it again, otherwise there is no way to publish it in the journal."
This is the secret of the Grand Arcanist. Will he be silenced? Lucien thought humorously.
"Lucien, what do you think of the content of this letter? I remember you mentioned the possibility of this at the beginning." Fernando asked abruptly.
Lucien organized the following words: "Separate in this way. The greater the mass difference, the easier it is. You should choose heavy elements for experiments..."
After finishing speaking, Fernando asked Lucien questions about several points in the paper. If Lucien couldn't answer, he would explain them in detail. He even combined them with random magic circle experiments.
After he finished asking the question, Fernando slowly dictated it, and Lucien wrote the reply.
At this time, Lucien finally understood why Fernando wanted him to read the letter. He was using the cutting-edge exchanges between legendary magicians to guide him by the way, so that he could expand his knowledge and horizons while studying.
Such guidance must be based on the premise that the disciple has a solid foundation in arcane arts, otherwise it will simply be "playing the piano to a cow", so when Lucien read the second letter, he was fully alert and concentrated to avoid being asked.
Speechless, roaring.
…………
The author of the second letter is even more famous, writing "Derek Douglas" in meticulous and steady handwriting.
"...All arcanists know that the propagation of waves requires a medium, but how can light and spiritual power be transmitted in the universe and stars... As long as a substance exists, no matter how hidden it is, it will eventually have its characteristics displayed.
The light medium 'ether' discovered by us has been publicized since before I was born, but it has not been confirmed until now."
In the Magic Empire, the mysterious "ether" is also used to name an alchemical material, which is often easily confused by beginners.
"...Brook and the others think that the wave theory has completely won, but I don't think so. I designed a simple and intuitive experiment to verify. If there really is ether and it is densely populated in the starry sky, when our world revolves around the sun
When, there must be a relative resistance, which will change the speed of light..."
After listening quietly, Fernando commented casually: "Douglas has made a lot of efforts on the particle theory of light and spiritual power, delaying the victory of the wave theory. His persistence in this regard has surpassed anyone else, and has made more people
Arcanists have to face up to the medium problem of the wave theory. Lucien, what do you think of this experiment?"
"Even if it is proven that there is no 'ether', the Speaker's efforts will not be taken seriously, because this experiment is based on his universe model, but so far, we have not discovered a single star. Establishment
Experiments on a hypothesis are difficult to convince everyone." Lucien expressed a pessimistic view.
Fernando nodded slightly: "I still have a clear understanding, but I can't convince Douglas, an old stubborn man, that he will continue the experiment. However, such an experiment also has a certain significance. At least it provides a direction to verify the existence of 'ether'. In the future
There will certainly be similar experiments that are not based on hypotheses."
Then, he raised a series of questions about light, the particle theory of spiritual power, and the wave theory. The questions put Lucien under great pressure and he had to think hard to answer them smoothly.
After Fernando finished asking, Lucien found that he was a little tired. High-intensity thinking consumed too much brain power and energy. As for Lucien's less than perfect answers, Fernando slowly used spiritual magic based on specific light and darkness.
Lucien gained a lot from the retelling and explanation.
After the two great arcanists, there were more than a dozen legendary magicians. The letters from the great mages covered eleven factions. Such all-round guidance made Lucien both exhausted and excited. He did not expect that Teacher Fernando was transforming.
He also has unique insights into summoning and undead spirits.
After reading the letter, it was almost noon, and Fernando took Lucien to the laboratory to build a spherical shell-shaped cavity painted black, which was an ideal thermal radiation model.
"Okay, Lucien, tomorrow I will still read the letter first, and then start the experiment." Fernando signaled to Lucien that he could leave.
Lucien walked out of the laboratory with a sense of powerlessness. The thought process for several hours was really exhausting. The life of an assistant was harder than he imagined.
At this time, Tang Pu came towards me. He saw Lucien's face and smiled very understandingly: "Evans, thank you for your hard work, but this will be of great help to your arcane improvement."
"It's really painful and satisfying." Lucien sighed, and asked with a hint of regret, "Why is it that even after the invention of electromagnetic communication, the teacher still relies on letters to communicate with other Your Excellencies?"
"On the one hand, letters can carry more arcane content that is difficult to express verbally. On the other hand," Tang Pu paused, quietly looked at the laboratory, and chuckled, "Others, you would rather choose letters." (
