The sun was shining brightly at noon, illuminating the study room golden.
At this time, Douglas and Lucien had left respectively, and only Fernando sat quietly on the armchair.
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 great arcane masters discussed the laws behind the formula from various angles but suffered misfortunes.
The failed thesis ensures that the vast majority of arcanists will not be directly impacted by assumptions that subvert common sense in the future.
This is not to ask them to accept Lucien's results now. After all, the premise of "energy discontinuity" is still just a hypothesis. It is to let them have a psychological preparation by reading these articles. From a normal perspective, there is nothing they can do. Maybe
The explanation must go beyond the accepted concepts. At the same time, in the additional articles, the great arcanists will repeatedly emphasize that in order to solve the problem, "hypothesis" may have to be made, and the word "hypothesis" will be repeatedly presented to the magicians.
Leave a lasting impression.
"Shocking, unbelievable, subversive of cognition..." Fernando muttered to himself, describing the hypothesis Lucien made, while smiling slightly narrowly, "The first half of the paper sent to others has actually included the rest of the paper.
The explanations were rejected one by one. The second half that has not yet been sent is just a complete explanation, analysis and premise of the formula. I don’t know who can be the first to draw the content of the second half based on the first half of the paper. Even I cannot accept it.
What if, Hathaway, or Brooke?”
Hathaway is the founder of atomic theory. Based on this knowledge, she is inclined to Douglas's particle theory and is the most likely to make similar assumptions. The other four great arcanists are standard wave sects, especially the
Brooke is the most determined, but among the five great arcanists, Brooke is the strongest and closest to the reality of the world. It is possible that he will complete the derivation first.
"Hey, let me guess the order in which they came to the conclusion and came to me, Hathaway, Brooke, Oliver, Helen, Vicente?" Fernando behaved as humorously and informally as usual, with a faint smile on his face.
meaning.
While talking to himself, he turned his eyes and suddenly saw the mirror placed in the corner of the study room. The mirror reflected an old man wearing a bright red magic robe, with a head full of silver hair like frost, mixed with black roots.
The smile solidified and gradually disappeared. Fernando raised his right hand and touched his white hair. Then he sighed softly, took out an old notebook from the desk, turned to the last few pages, picked up the quill and wrote:
"On July 6th, it was sunny and breezy. I suddenly felt a little old."
He put down his quill and turned to look out the window. The bright and dazzling sunlight made him narrow his eyes slightly.
…………
Return home.
Leo, the butler who came to greet him, looked at Lucien's face strangely, but said nothing. Splinter, who had finished studying and was about to enjoy lunch, curiously asked: "Teacher Evans, what's wrong with your face?"
So bad? Is it difficult to answer the question of Your Excellency Storm Lord today?"
So you were roared by him? This is what Splinter swallowed without saying.
"A bad complexion?" Lucien asked in confusion, and then turned to look at a crystal statue displayed in the living room. Although the scene reflected on it was blurry, Lucien could clearly detect that his complexion was as bad as
Just crawled out of the cemetery.
The pressure of the legend was so terrifying? I was so focused on "fighting" that I actually ignored a lot of it. I only remembered the cold sweat all over my body, the freezing air, the lightning flashing in front of my eyes, and the thunder in my ears.
"Yes, the teacher's question is difficult to answer. It is related to saving the world and safeguarding peace." Lucien said with a smile.
Splinter couldn't stand his teacher's cold humor from time to time, and quietly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Teacher Evans, stop joking. Did the Storm Lord want to destroy the world, but you stopped him?"
"Splinter, you're telling the truth. I wanted to destroy the world, but my teacher stopped me." Although his face looked bad, Lucien was in a good mood. After all, he successfully destroyed his teacher's head without blowing it off.
The assumption of discontinuous energy was thrown out, so he joked enthusiastically.
Splinter has an arrogant personality and is not the kind of person who is good at joking and talking. At this time, he could only look up at the ceiling helplessly: "Teacher Evans, it's time for lunch. Let's talk about the destruction of the world later.
"
Seeing the servants filing out with the food, and looking at the veal steak that he had eaten many times, Lucien couldn't help but rub his forehead, he had to let them try other dishes.
As soon as the idea came to mind, the servant led Katrina in. Her silky blond hair was tied into a ponytail, she was bouncing lively, and her face was filled with bright joy.
"Teacher Evans, your application for the 'Atomic Research Institute' has been approved." Katrina raised the document in her hand and said loudly and happily.
Lucien was quite surprised: "So fast? Only a few days?"
Doesn’t it usually take more than two weeks for arcane research projects to be approved? It seems like it only takes exactly one week for you to submit your application.
"With the support signature of His Excellency the Grand Arcanist, how can the gentlemen of the Magic Research Committee delay?" Katrina said the first-hand inside information, and then said very expectantly, "Teacher Evans, let's see what the result is!"
The document is sealed in a bag that requires Lucien's arcane and magical badges to open.
"It should be approved, right?" Splinter had been waiting for the establishment of the "Atomic Research Institute" for a long time. After seeing the document, he was filled with anticipation and fear, and seemed nervous.
Lucien calmly took off the arcane badge and placed it on the magic mark inlaid on the bag's seal.
A faint light flashed, and the magic mark disappeared. Lucien took out the document, read the beginning carefully, then smiled and said to Splinter and Katrina: "The gentlemen of the Magic Research Committee have approved my application and stated that
This is a completely new form of research organization, and I hope I can work hard and set an example for the approval of similar projects in the future."
"Great!" Splinter waved his fist heavily, beaming with joy.
Katrina was a little more steady, but she also smiled broadly and said repeatedly: "Congratulations, Teacher Evans, congratulations, Teacher Evans..."
If Heidi and Leylia knew about it, they would probably cheer "The secret is above" on the spot, right? Lucien opened his arms, accepted the hugs and congratulations from Katrina and Splinter, and silently cursed in his heart: "Young men,
Your social experience is still too shallow. The meaning of these sentences is clearly, 'For the sake of Your Majesty the Lord of Storms, we agree to your ridiculous so-called new form research group, but you must also make certain results.
Otherwise, everyone will lose face!'"
"Teacher Evans, where is our research institute?" After finally calming down a little, Katrina immediately looked at Lucien with bright eyes.
Lucien picked up the document and looked at the content at the back: "In the seventh laboratory and attached conference room and office on the 18th floor of the parliament headquarters. At the same time, I was asked to propose a plan for the laboratory magic array, alchemy array and large alchemy within a week.
The Magic Research Committee will review the device's requirements and transform the laboratory accordingly, which will take about two to three weeks. In other words, by the end of July or early August, our 'Atomic Research Institute' will be officially established."
"By the way, in addition to basic transformation, we will be given a monthly subsidy of 5,000 arcane points in the future, which will be used to purchase materials, complete experiments, and pay everyone salaries. I have initially decided that the high-level magic apprenticeship will be 10 arcane points per month.
Arcane points for formal magicians depend on the specific level. For example, a second-level arcane magician like Lazar and a second-level magician have one hundred arcane points."
The director of an institute like me doesn't get paid. Anyway, "personal experiment losses" are reported in the institute's projects. Lucien added silently in his stomach. This is an unspoken rule of the Magic Council.
"So many?!" Splinter and Katrina blurted out in surprise and joy. This is the standard for a formal magician. You must know that Teacher Evans only had ten arcane points in a month at the magic school!
Moreover, you can also see the free arcane basic books provided by Mr. Evans in the "Atomic Research Institute". You can also use the laboratory for free and purchase experimental materials at cost price. Plus, with such a high salary, you are simply a magic apprentice, officially
A magician's dream job!
For example, Lazar, who is currently working in the Will of the Elements, has salary, subsidies from both the Magic Council and the Will of the Elements, gains from new magic and paper rewards, etc., all of which averages out to only fifty or sixty arcane points a month, while Katrina
Working in one of the so-called best positions as a magic apprentice only costs four arcane points per month.
"Of course, the 'Atomic Research Institute' will definitely be the most important research department of the Magic Parliament in the future. The salary of the researchers there must be higher than elsewhere. Otherwise, how can it reflect its importance?" Lucien answered half-jokingly.
, "But in the early stages of the research institute, we don't need many manpower. Apart from you apprentices, I only plan to hire two or three more formal magicians and one mid-level magician."
Splinter twitched his lips: "Teacher Evans, you are so confident."
"I believe you, Mr. Evans, you almost shared the crown this time. I will follow you to complete the research on arcana and magic, and maybe I can get the highest honor like Miss Rachel!" Katrina was also half-joking.
to answer.
Lucien chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's not important. The research committee stated at the end that if we don't have results that pass their review within three years, the Atomic Research Institute will be cancelled."
Such conditions confirmed Lucien's guess. If it weren't for the long cycle of many arcane researches, it is estimated that the deadline proposed by the Magic Research Committee would be one year.
"Mr. Evans, we will work hard!" Katrina and Splinter replied solemnly. They cannot let the institute be canceled because of everyone's slack!
Lucien handed over the document: "Katrina, let's enjoy lunch together. In the afternoon we will go to see the laboratory environment and decide what magic circles and alchemy devices are needed."
…………
Watching "Lord of the Dead" Vicente leave, Fernando sneered: "You are the most backward Grand Arcanist when it comes to inferring this issue!"
His face was rosy, animated by an afternoon of heated bickering and ranting.
Seeing that Vicente did not respond, Fernando paced back and forth in the study with some excitement. Finally, he took out the old notebook and added to the words he wrote in the morning:
"After an afternoon of arguing and refuting their mistakes, I seemed to have regained my youth and was full of strength. The world is so mysterious, vast and awe-inspiring, and we standing in front of it are so small, but this does not stop us from exploring
Its essence, close to its reality, is that this road is full of dazzling and inextricably beautiful scenery."
"I will keep going until the day I die completely."
…………
After visiting the unformed "Atomic Research Institute" with satisfaction, Lucien was about to leave and go home to write a request for a magic circle and alchemy device when he suddenly heard a slightly confused voice from the other end of the corridor:
"Mr. Lucien Evans?"
Raising his head, Lucien saw Rachel, the girl he had been in contact with, who was standing next to a dignified and beautiful lady. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
