"Good afternoon, Miss Rachel." Lucien greeted with a smile. Although he had already guessed who the black-haired, blue-eyed lady beside Rachel was, he still asked politely, "I don't know about this beautiful lady.
yes?"
The first time Lucien met Rachel was during the discussion meeting of the Affairs Committee on pollution. She still maintained the energetic style of that time, with a kind smile in her flaxen eyes: "This is my teacher Isa
Ms. Bella, I didn't expect to meet you, Mr. Evans, on this floor.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Isabella." As a man, Lucien was the first to say hello, "Congratulations on winning the wizard crown, and also congratulations on raising your arcane level to level seven."
From the corner of his eye, Lucien noticed that the arcane badge on Isabella's chest had turned into seven bright silver stars, and Rachel's arcane level had also been raised to level five.
Isabella, who was wearing a long black dress, smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I am preparing to visit you Evans during this period. Without your paper on brain waves, the possibility of Rachel and I winning the crown would be greatly reduced.
It strongly complements our prerequisites, but I didn’t expect to meet you here in advance.”
Whether it was sincere gratitude or pure politeness, at least Isabella's words made Lucien sound very comfortable: "My paper is just a supplement. To win the laurel, the research results of these two ladies are important enough. Haha, I
I applied to the Magic Research Committee for an arcane research project, and let’s take a look at the laboratory environment today.”
"Research project? I don't know what it is about? I also applied for an arcane research project. It is an in-depth study of the effects of electromagnetic waves and electric currents stimulating different parts of the brain. Today I am also going to take a look at the experimental environment. I planned to
We invite you to cooperate with us on this project. You have unique insights in the field of brain waves, but now it seems that you can't do it." Isabella's smile was very standard, perfectly in line with the etiquette gesture, and she asked slightly curiously.
The last sentence was her polite way of saying that she had enough ability and knowledge to complete this project. However, she and Lucien had no enmity in the past and had no grudges recently. Lucien himself was an arcanist with unlimited potential.
Still standing as the master of the storm, maintaining a polite attitude is the best option.
Having been approved, Lucien had nothing to hide and said with a gentle smile: "I applied to the Magic Research Committee for a project at the 'Atomic Research Institute', which mainly studies the properties of atoms themselves and why they exhibit periodic patterns.
"
Rachel blinked. How did such a strange project, such a large and vague research direction, get approved?
She was so curious that she almost blurted out the question, but since the teacher was right next to her, it was very impolite for a student to interrupt suddenly, so she had to hold it back.
"Atomic Research Institute?" Isabella opened her mouth slightly and repeated each word one by one. Although she knew each one, when they were combined, she seemed a little confused.
Lucien was mentally prepared for their reaction and explained casually: "This is an attempt by the Parliament to research a new field, because no one knows what situations they will encounter and what phenomena they will discover after entering this new arcane field.
, no one can formulate plans and plans in detail before starting research, and it takes repeated failures to try and explore. The establishment of the institute is to break through this dilemma, give a broad time, and provide a certain degree of subsidy support.
It only requires direction and does not require specific planning, giving researchers the greatest freedom to 'fail'."
Lucien said these words in a high-sounding way, with the air of an official spokesperson of the Magic Research Committee.
"Broad time? A certain level of subsidy?" Isabella always felt that there was something wrong with this research project, and looked at Lucien with doubts.
Lucien chuckled and said: "There must be results that satisfy the committee within three years before we can continue."
"Three years?!" Rachel finally couldn't control herself and blurted out. The arcane research project her teacher applied for was only for one year. At the same time, the subsidy given by the council would depend on the progress and status of the research. What kind of research institute was Lucien's?
It seems that as long as it is an achievement in the atomic field, there are no strict requirements!
Even Isabella, a well-informed high-level arcanist, couldn't help but frown: "How can the research committee ensure that the subsidy investment in the past three years will not be wasted in the transformation of the magic laboratory?"
She just needs to explain clearly how to ensure that arcanists don't just write down a new field and apply - since it doesn't require a complete plan and demonstration, how to ensure that under this form of research organization, funding fraud does not spread!
"So the format of the institute is only for arcane masters who have made outstanding contributions in this field, and their ability to conduct research in this field must be reviewed. At the same time, authoritative arcane masters in the field must give evaluation opinions." Lucien
He spoke without any shame, "If we really fail continuously, it will also be a necessary tuition fee for exploration and research in this field. After all, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones."
When they thought about the "righteous and upright" elegant gentleman in front of them, there was the master of the storm standing behind them. Neither Isabella nor Rachel were confused by his words. They couldn't help but exclaimed in their hearts: "What a good way to defraud funds."
!His talent in this area is comparable to his arcane talent!"
Thinking about her poor arcane research project, Isabella's smile became more polite and she changed the subject without revealing any trace: "This is indeed a useful attempt. Speaking of attempts, I saw Ivan in Drummond
That paper of yours actually solved a problem that several great arcanists were confused about. To be honest, when I first saw those two papers, I couldn’t think of how to unify the formulas from two different angles, and I never thought about it.
Ignore any actual arcane significance and simply piece it together using mathematical methods."
"Congratulations, your chances of being 'talked about' by magicians will be many times more than mine in the future."
"The tragedy is that I'm still worried about the meaning behind the formula." Lucien told a white lie.
But Isabella's attention was not focused on this, and since the two of them were not familiar with each other, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then left.
"Is she Ms. Isabella?" Katrina looked at Isabella's back with implicit admiration and yearning. During the time she was working in the Magician Management Department, she heard the most about high-level female magic.
The teacher was Isabella, and she "lived up to expectations" and won the crown. She was "elegant, intellectual, beautiful, dignified, smart, and powerful. I really hope to be a lady like her."
Lucien smiled and said: "Then work hard. If you don't work hard, there will never be hope."
…………
July 30th, early morning.
"...Happy birthday, Natasha." Lucien put down his quill and closed the envelope sent to Natasha. It still contained some trivial matters and music discussions, but included a piano sketch adapted from the birthday song as a birthday celebration.
Gift.
After doing all this, Lucien put the letter in his pocket and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
Splinter, Katrina, Annick, Heidi and other magic apprentices and Lazar were already waiting in the restaurant. Except for Cherry, who was still studying at the magic school, they all resigned from their jobs and began to prepare for the formal ceremony in a few days.
The "Atomic Research Institute" was launched.
"Lucien, Lucien! This issue of "Arcana" has been released ahead of schedule again!" As soon as Lucien sat down, a young man with messy hair rushed in, holding a dark black cover of "Lucien" in his hand.
"Arcane", "And in this issue of "Arcana", five great arcane masters have written papers around your formula, analyzing the laws behind it. In addition, your paper is a solution to the problem of the other two great arcane masters.
With the imperfect formula, the papers of the seven great arcane masters all centered on your paper! Tsk tsk, this has never happened before! It is even more exaggerated than the topic in the last issue that focused on Ms. Isabella’s paper.
!”
The speaker was Lucien and Lazar's friend, Rock, a teacher at Douglas Magic School.
After the application from the Atomic Research Institute was approved, Lucien sent out invitations to his friends one after another, asking them to be his assistants. Since he did not plan to hire many people, the invitation letters were given in a first-come-first-served manner, waiting for the first person to reject it.
Only then did they send it out to the people behind them. In view of the generous salary, superior conditions, and three years of existence, Rock and Jerome agreed to come without hesitation. This was the most important three years for them to hit the middle level.
Lazar was first happy that his two friends were working with him, and then he joked about why Lucien didn't hire a beautiful magician.
As for the mid-level arcane master, Lucien has never been satisfied with it. At this level of elemental mage, as long as he has the corresponding arcane research ability, he can study with the teacher or serve as an assistant, or even better, he can do important work on his own.
There are few people who have nothing to do in terms of arcane or magical research, as well as adventurous exploration outside. For example, K, Larry, Timothy, Ulysses, etc. all politely declined Lucien's invitation.
However, Lucien's mandatory mission will have to wait until next year, so he is not in a hurry to recruit him. Anyway, he will be in charge.
Rock's exaggerated tone and description aroused strong curiosity among Lazar, Heidi and others. They all stood up and asked: "What paper? What paper is Mr. Evans (Lucien)'s?"
Actually the papers of the seven great arcanists are all related to him?!
"It's a paper on black body radiation. He solved the formula problem that the two great arcane masters couldn't perfect!" Rock was still excited because of the situation he had never seen before. Seven great arcane masters, more than two years ago
When I met Lucien, I never imagined that such a day would happen.
"Really? Really?" The apprentices surrounded Rock like a flock of chirping birds, stretching their necks to read the words on it - although they could not understand the content, they always recognized the signature of the paper.
Lazar was "ostracized" by them and reluctantly showed his hands to Lucien: "Why don't you tell me what it's about?"
The exciting atmosphere lasted for a while, and then the apprentices looked at Lucien with pride and pride. The teacher is really great!
Rock and Lazar had already frowned: "Why can't it be explained? Lucien, what laws are hidden in your formula?"
They had roughly finished browsing the analyzes of the five great arcanists. Although they did not believe that they had the ability to deal with this problem, they always held on to a glimmer of hope. Maybe they would be favored by fate at some point. Suddenly, inspiration flashed, like Lu
Sean also solved the problems of the great arcanists?
So they gradually thought deeply, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that Lucien's formula could not be explained from any angle. Maybe it really had to be done from the perspective of subversion, from the perspective of contradiction with the current arcane system, as the great arcanists all mentioned.
direction to assume the premise?
"If I had known, I would have written a paper and submitted it." Lucien told a white lie again.
Well, the two of them nodded and fell into deep thought again. It wasn't until Lucien was about to leave after breakfast that Lazar asked curiously: "Lucien, you have been studying for so long, you should have a new direction."
Right? Don’t worry, I’m just curious, and I won’t write a paper until I solve this mystery.”
"We are considering starting from the perspective of the new theory of thermodynamic molecular motion." Lucien replied calmly, sighing softly in his heart.
At the "Arcane" headquarters, Drummond fell into deep thought after listening to his subordinates' report on the completion of the journal launch. The seven great arcanists had never written a paper on an issue that was not sensational at the same time.
This made him feel vaguely uneasy.
Is there any secret hidden behind this formula? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
