"Nature?" Nesika coughed: "Commissioner Evans, your explanation is very appropriate, but as a journal in the field of pure mathematics and physics, isn't this name too general? People cannot understand at a glance what it represents.
What journal?”
Yes! This is a question for everyone, including Levsky. Journals such as "Arcana", "Magic", "Astrology" and "Elements" can roughly judge the direction of the paper based on the title, but "Nature" will make people
They mistakenly thought it was a journal founded by druids. Even though they liked Lucien's praise of mathematics and the words "the most beautiful and essential language in nature, the unified rules of all fields", mathematics serves
The current situation of arcana and magic in service tells them that not everyone agrees with this.
Of course Lucien cannot say that it was his own bad taste - science has to define its own meaning and create words, so "Nature" can be quoted directly: "Although "Nature" is currently a journal in the field of pure mathematics and physics, I
I have good hopes for it. I hope that in the future, in addition to pure mathematics, it will also publish arcane theories that are temporarily unknown or incomprehensible to almost everyone, and slowly develop into a book mainly focusing on pure mathematics and description.
The world's real journal, a journal comparable to "Arcane" and "Magic"."
This, this is too whimsical. "Arcane" and "Magic" both have hundreds of years of development history. One is slightly more theoretical, the other is more applied. They are both "Holy Codes" in the minds of arcanists.
, has an irreplaceable status.
After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone regarded Lucien's words as his good wishes and ignored them. Myrina smiled and said: "Using mathematical language to describe the reality of the world? Well, the title of that journal seems to be "Nature".
It's pretty good, at least it's better than using "world" and "reality", but 'mathematics' lacks scalability..."
"Publishing arcane theories that are temporarily not understood by people or that almost everyone can't understand? This is a very good thing! Maybe there will be many theories in the future that go against our realistic intuition. It will be difficult for people to accept them in a short period of time.
Our journal can provide help to 'them'." Levsky thought of himself and agreed very much with Lucien's proposal.
The slovenly middle-aged man Salguero frowned: "How can you distinguish between a valuable but buried theory and a ridiculous and wrong paper that is deliberately seeking strangeness? If "Nature" completely opens the door, an impact factor
2.0 journals will make most arcanists jealous. Doesn’t this encourage them to be divorced from reality and research, making up random things with the goal that others will not understand them? And then quoting each other?”
Levsky didn't have the self-awareness of a journal editor yet. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Lucien was prepared and said with a smile: "Nature is a journal in the field of 'pure' mathematics, so of course it must be based on pure mathematics.
Based on logic, as long as the premise assumptions of this paper are not wrong and the logical deduction is no problem. Even if it cannot pass the review of the committee for the time being, it can still be published as discussion content. If the premise assumptions and logical deduction are wrong, there will be no problem.
If the question is an unqualified paper, it can be rejected directly.”
"Yes, that's it!" Levsky thought of Lucien's inspiring speech just now.
Nesika, Milina, Mapel, Salgueiro and other committee members nodded silently, and could not help but think of the mistakes they had made against Levsky before.
After a few minutes, Nesika looked up at the sinking sun outside: "This is the longest small discussion I have ever participated in and the biggest lessons I have learned. Commissioner Evans, please submit these three papers of yours as soon as possible."
Review, we are waiting for the evaluation results and strive to complete it before the application is approved by the journal Nature."
Even if all the members of the mathematics and physics field currently in Arlinge are gathered in the conference room, the process must be followed, and it needs to be submitted by the Magician Management Department and summarized by the Alchemy Life Distribution.
"I will submit it before the Magician Management Department closes today." Lucien then realized that as he was concentrating, the time had already reached five o'clock in the afternoon. Almost the whole day was spent in Levsky's explanation and his own rants.
, didn’t even enjoy lunch.
Watching Nesica, Salguero and other committee members leave, Levski turned to Lucien and said: "Commissioner Evans, thank you, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, a talented mathematician, I think I would
We have to continue living a life of displacement, pain and grievance.”
Due to long-term stagnation in strength and failure to advance to the mid-level, and concentrating on the perfection of the new geometric system, he did not take on tasks, and did not waste too much time on alchemy. Levsky's life was quite difficult, and he had to leave the rent and food prices behind.
Aringe, who was very expensive, went to live in a nearby town and relied on subsidies from second-level arcanists and second-level magicians. Occasionally, he couldn't make ends meet when he got sick, so he had to find other sources of income.
Therefore, even though his emotions had settled, Levsky was still quite emotional and excited when he expressed his gratitude again. Commissioner Evans saved himself and "his child."
"This is what you deserve. You don't need to thank anyone, so you should also run the journal Nature well so that it can provide help to geniuses who cannot be understood for the time being." Lucien said in a gentle voice.
Levsky's mood had been ups and downs several times today. When he calmed down now, he was already quite tired. He forced himself to smile and said, "Anyway, I'm really grateful. It's a pity that I'm not good at magic in the elemental field and can't reach atoms."
The Institute has nothing more to learn from working with you than Commissioner Evans."
"On the contrary, I learned persistence from you. Well, just call me Evans or Lucien, it doesn't have to be so formal." Lucien said meaningfully and vaguely, "Everyone has their own areas of expertise.
There is no need to force anything else, Levsky, you also know that your new geometry and my new geometry are currently just a framework, lacking specific research and analytical capabilities. I hope we can continue to explore in this direction together.
Go down."
"Of course, you can no longer forget arcana and magic. If you want to research more results and solve more problems in the field of mathematics and physics, you must improve your arcane level and magic strength, so that you can survive.
It will take longer so that the brain will not degenerate when we grow old."
"This is exactly the direction I want to study!" Levsky replied with excitement on his face.
Seeing the deep exhaustion on his brows, Lucien motioned for him to go back and have a good rest, so that he could have a peaceful sleep.
Putting his hands in the pockets of his double-breasted gown, Lucien quietly watched Levsky leave. Just as Lucien was about to turn around, organize the paper, and send it to the Magician Management Department for submission, a sentence suddenly came to his ears:
"Your speech today was quite good. You can realize that the closer we get to the reality of the world, the more limited our bodies and souls are. We must rely closely on magic and mathematical tools. We abandon the correspondence with reality and only focus on the beginning.
Axiomatic assumptions and internal logical deduction may be a direction for the continued development of mathematics." Fernando looked ahead expressionlessly and gave Lucien a rare compliment.
Even though the level of praise was quite low, Lucien was flattered. He looked at Fernando carefully, worried that he was transformed into a small crystal illusion, but he glared back. He confirmed the truth: "It's just a review of Levsky's new geometry.
It was inspired by the experiences I encountered while studying.”
"Really?" Fernando looked at Lucien with a half-smile.
Lucien answered very quickly: "Of course. By the way, teacher, what are you studying recently?"
Fernando glanced at him angrily: "I redid the experiment on the cursed substance and found that it would indeed radiate electrons and a new element, and in this substance, there seemed to be residual traces of other strange elements.
However, the trace amount is unknown and cannot be extracted yet. It will take a certain amount of time and effort."
"But this is enough to drive most arcanists crazy. What exactly are elements and atoms? What is its internal structure like? Why do new elements radiate?"
"So, I have been making conjectures on the internal structure model of atoms during this time. Unfortunately, I do not have suitable magic assistance. It is difficult to penetrate into the microscopic world. This is because the natural conditions of our bodies and souls limit us."
Lucien finally understood why his short speech impressed his teacher Fernando and made him give him a rare compliment. It turned out that he was already thinking about the internal structure of atoms. So he considered the language and said, "In this regard, we should make bold assumptions. Then use
Experimental exclusion. In the absence of direct observation of the inside of atoms, we can only rely on indirect methods."
"You think I don't know this?" Fernando growled at Lucien.
…………
Inside the tower.
Samantha knocked on the door of the study room with a thick stack of papers in her arms, and heard the teacher's slightly melancholy voice: "Come in."
It was rare to see a teacher in such a mood. Samantha raised her thin golden eyebrows, maintained a serious and indifferent expression, and opened the door: "Teacher, there are papers that need to be reviewed today."
"Well, is it Lucien Evans's?" Nesika, who was wearing a gray pointed hat, looked back.
Samantha flipped through the pages: "Another Assumption of the Parallel Line Theorem...Lucien Evans...Teacher, did you lose today?"
"Yes, we lost, we lost miserably. Pride and prejudice made us defeated. Levsky's new geometry is right, a new geometry that is essentially different from the geometry of the tower but is compatible with it.
"When there are no outsiders, Nesika seems to have aged ten years because of this.
Samantha was slightly stunned: "Lucien Evans proposed a physical model?"
She is an arcane genius along with Larry, Yurisian, Rachel and others. She is good at astrology, electromagnetism and mathematics. However, after reading Levsky's paper, she is also unable to accept it and cannot believe that it is consistent with intuitive understanding.
violation of the conclusion.
"Yes, a hyperboloid similar to a saddle." Nesika said bitterly, "He also gave a proof that the two geometries are compatible on the unit circle, and proposed another new geometric system, which is opposite to Levsky geometry.
His new geometry is truly a genius. Maybe next month he and Levsky will receive the Arcane Scepter Award together, not sharing, but receiving them separately for their respective contributions."
A complicated change appeared on Samantha's serious face, which had been trying to remain expressionless: "Why didn't I expect... that I would get the highest honors in three fields before I entered the senior level..."
"Give me the paper and I will write the evaluation results." Nesika didn't want to say anything more. After turning the paper over once more, she picked up her quill and wrote:
"Lucien Evans started from the opposite direction of Levsky's new geometric system, assuming that no straight line can be drawn through a point outside the straight line that is parallel to the known straight line, and then through perfect logical deduction, he obtained a series of bizarre and incredible results
With his propositions and conclusions, he once again constructed an independent and complete new geometric system - Evans geometry, and he proved the feasibility of this new geometric system on a spherical-like surface, making it no longer a mere imagination.
.
"Put aside the practical significance, start only from axioms and postulates, and only focus on the rigor and self-consistency of logical deduction. Lucien Evans showed us such a unique concept, which brought huge impact. At the same time, he
The definition and description of curvature also brought about a conceptual innovation."
"There is no doubt that his new geometric system has made outstanding contributions to the development of the field of geometry. It is groundbreaking, popular and very important. It is of great discussion value. It is recommended to reward four hundred arcane points and four arcane points.
thousand."
While Nesika was writing, Samantha did not leave, and kept watching from the side, with expressions ranging from annoyance, envy, and frustration.
"Samantha, there will be a new journal coming out in a while. The inscription on the cover is the summary of Lucien Evans' speech, and the front page is the content of his speech. If you look carefully, you should be familiar with mathematics and arcane exploration.
Some new understandings." Putting down the quill, Nesika said casually.
"Huh?" Samantha was stunned at first, and then became very curious.
