"Douglas" Magic School is on the top floor of a seven or eight-story magic tower.
Cherry sat in the classroom of the advanced apprenticeship class, listening in a daze to Verniya's "Basic Elements Course". This is a formal, advanced course that runs through apprenticeships and introduces apprentices to the elements from the shallower to the deeper.
Magical door.
"Heidi, Leylia and others are said to have more than a dozen arcane points and are already official arcanists..." Cherry thought about the situation of several good friends with great envy.
Vernia said on the podium: "...The ancient theory of elemental magic was introduced here first, and the current elemental system is based on Mr. Hathaway's atomic theory. What is an atom? It is the most basic substance.
, a substance that can no longer be divided. The same kind of atoms make up this type of element, which has various properties, undergoes different reactions, and combines to form all substances in the world. This is also the basis of courses such as 'Potions' and 'Alchemy'
”.
"If I had come to Arlinge a year earlier, and now that I have graduated and left school, I would not have to take the courses that I already knew, and I would be able to join Mr. Evans's Atomic Research Institute like Heidi and the others and start magical arcane experiments.
Become a true arcanist." Cherry, who was in a daze, was quite upset, feeling that she had wasted a year, and currently she has not even passed the basic arcane examination.
Verniya continued the course and was very satisfied with the attentive high-level apprentices - they already knew the importance of arcane and magic learning, and understood that it directly represented strength, power and status, so few people were slack and undisciplined.
He is completely different from the trainee apprentice who just started the magic school.
You can count on two hands the number of high-level apprentices who have been expelled from "Douglas" Magic School over the years due to their study attitude.
"...I have brought some pure elements. You should get to know them first, and then through experiments you can understand their properties, as well as their role in different alchemical reactions and potion brewing." Verniya took out bottles of magic seals.
elements, and at the same time opened the magic circle, turning the podium into an alchemy platform.
Apprenticeship and formal apprenticeship classes rarely talk about the nature of elements in such depth. They only lead students to understand elements, basic properties, memorize magic reaction equations, and focus on cultivating their hands-on ability in magic research.
The brilliant light of the magic circle brought Cherry's thoughts back, and she saw Vernia holding up two bottles of elements: "These are two structures of carbon elements... atoms make up elements, and carbon is the main component of the human body.
element……"
Looking at the crystal clear diamonds and the dark gray opaque "scales" that sparkled with metallic luster, Cherry felt a strong shock even though she had heard Lucien explain it long ago: "Carbon elements with different structures are different."
Like the difference between angels and devils..."
"And is it the main component of the human body?" Cherry looked down at her slender and delicate hands. It was hard to imagine that it was composed of carbon elements with different "appearances" and "actual" consistency in the bottle. "Carbon elements can also
Divided into carbon atoms, the same goes for other elements that make up the body. Could it be that the essence of 'I' is just such tiny particles?"
Turning to look out the window, the big sycamore-like tree was in full green. A man wearing a black top hat and a dark suit passed under the tree holding a cane. Opposite him came a man wearing a light purple cake skirt.
Graceful lady.
"Are such a personable gentleman, such a beautiful and intelligent lady, and such a colorful and gorgeous world all made up of indivisible little atoms?" Cherry, who has not yet officially entered the magical world, is really convinced by this.
It's a bit hard to imagine.

Inside the Atomic Research Institute.
Lucien improved the magic circle that created the vacuum and tried the experiment again.
After confirming that the cathode rays were continuously deflected in the electromagnetic field, Lucien took a deep breath and began to adjust the magnetic field and electric field magic array.
After a while, Lucien recorded the data and began to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles contained in the cathode rays in his mind.
Unlike the excitement, panic, and nervousness when he was measuring Planck's constant, Lucien was very calm at this time, like a machine without emotions.
If the mind is calm and unruffled, there will naturally be no hallucinations.
Experimental noises came from different places in the room from time to time. Lucien was not affected at all and accurately calculated the answer:
"Charge-to-mass ratio, one point seventy-six times ten to the power of eleven."
Boom! In Lucien's spiritual world, the meditation environment changes again, and the light points of different elements suddenly enlarge, surrounded by countless small lights, the trajectory is mysterious and indescribable, and seems to contain endless secrets.
"That's electrons!"
The electron that breaks the illusion that atoms are indivisible!
The microscopic world is far more complex than the arcane masters imagined, and it will be more exciting and incredible!

Rentat, inside the monastery.
After listening to Bishop Abidal's story, a trainee priest asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty Bishop, why didn't God directly create humans and all things, but instead created atoms first?"
"Daniel, don't think about what to do for the Lord! Since the Lord created atoms first, and physical research on the world and the human body also shows this, then there must be His profound meaning in it." Abidal sternly scolded the trainee pastor Daniel.
The problem is that mortals are speculating on God’s thoughts!
If it had been at the end of the Dawn War, Daniel would have been caught in the Inquisition immediately!
Abidal looked at the trainee priests who looked a little frightened below, and softened his voice a little: "The indivisibility of the atom is the embodiment of its holiness, and represents the Lord's control of the world. This is the case for those who claim to master the truth of the world.
Arcanists cannot break it. You just need to remember this and use it in your study of divine magic."
"Yes, Your Majesty Bishop," the trainee priests replied respectfully.
Abidal nodded with satisfaction. Ordinary priests only need to understand this to a general extent. Anyway, all roots can be attributed to the Lord. With more in-depth study, it is easy to embark on the path of an evil magician, and it is also easy to have endless problems in the Magic Council.
Under the theory, his thoughts were confused and he was swallowed by the Holy Light.
For example, the Magic Council's recent assumption that "energy is a portion" has no impact on clergy such as myself. Regardless of whether it is continuous or discontinuous, it is all created by the Lord!
…………
From those tracks, Lucien captured the wonderful symbols that perfected his "Elemental Order" magic, but it was incomplete.
Although he knew the approximate reason, Lucien did not forcefully change his cognitive world. For himself, logical deduction, formula formulation, theoretical verification, and experimental confirmation must be done before constructing a cognitive world.
Even if the cosmological constants of this world and the earth are consistent, we cannot blindly construct it according to the experience of the earth, otherwise it will be easy to explode our heads when we find that the two worlds are different.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!
After memorizing the newly appeared magic symbols, Lucien changed the composition of the metal material and low-pressure gas at the core of the cathode magic array and redid the experiment.

Inside the Glorious Cathedral of Holm.
Philiber took out a piece of information from the Holy City of Reims: "It has been confirmed that Fernando's new student Lucien Evans
Erd has assigned several night watchmen to help deal with this matter."
The Lord of Storms is the Grand Arcanist, and attention to him has always been one of the focuses of the church. Therefore, even if he only became his disciple, Lucien's level of attention has increased rapidly, and intelligence information has been provided to the cardinals and cardinals of various dioceses.
Conveyed, and then quickly "recognized" his other identity by the people of Violet Parish.
"Lucien Evans who composed "Ode to Joy"?" Bahá'u'lláh couldn't believe it. "Does he have a mental problem? Does he have two souls in his body? Otherwise, he is an angel and a devil.
?”
Valencier had a cold face: "Do you think he has a bright heart but is trapped in hell?"
"It's not impossible. The 'energy discontinuity' hypothesis he made almost destroyed many high-level arcanists, which was much better than most night watchmen and cardinals." Philiber said half-jokingly.
, "Anyway, the musician is dead, and it will be fake if he appears again in the future."
"Aren't we going to send someone to eliminate him?" Valencier said with a strong murderous intent.
Philiber shook his head: "It's not that important yet, even if he is the youngest Holm Crown Prize winner, even if he is Fernando's student. Let's wait until the night watchman sent by Salde arrives to discuss it.
"
…………
It was already late at night after finishing the experiment, so Lucien simply stayed in the office to sort out his experimental paper and write the following part:
"...It has been confirmed through experiments that whether it is generated by the cathode or the gas in the tube, the negatively charged particles emitted under different material conditions have the same charge-to-mass ratio. This shows that many substances contain the same kind of particles..."
"...its charge-to-mass ratio is about two thousand times that of the hydrogen ions in the electrolyte."
"...Through a rough estimate of the charge, we can find that the mass of this particle is about one-two thousandth of that of a hydrogen atom..."
"As we all know, hydrogen is number one in the periodic table of elements, and its atoms are the lightest and smallest particles. So what is this particle with a mass of only one-two thousandth of it?"
"New 'atom'? Or something?"
…………
At eight o'clock in the morning, Fernando was thinking about problems in the study.
At this time, he saw Lucien arriving half an hour earlier than usual.
"Teacher, I have completed a series of experiments and written a new paper. Please help me take a look." Lucien said with a calm smile.
Fernando noticed the strangeness, reached out to take the paper, and saw the title at a glance:
"Discovery of a New Particle".
His face gradually became serious, and Fernando began to read carefully. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Lucien carefully, and did not speak for a long time.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Lucien was a little confused by his red eyes. Didn't he already reach a consensus with Mr. Hathaway and temporarily abandon the theory that atoms are indivisible?
Fernando rubbed the corners of his eyes, licked his lower lip, and said half seriously and half jokingly:
"I always feel that you will destroy the world one day." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
