The square near Rose Avenue in Rentat was bustling with people as the lanterns came on.
This is the habit of many Rentat citizens. After dinner, they walk to the nearest square and wait for the "Mysterious Sound" to start. However, as the activity of ordering newspapers and delivering magic radios has deepened, the place is no longer as crowded as it was in its heyday.
Of course, in absolute terms, it is still quite a lot.
"Hello everyone, FM 592.6m Hoz, this is the 'Voice of Mystery', I am your old friend Nightingale, thank you all for listening to our program at this moment..." A sweet voice that is as familiar as one's own family comes from the speaker
When the sound came out, all the listeners concentrated their attention and stopped talking and laughing with their companions around them. Moreover, after the last live broadcast, they were able to restore the appearance of Miss Nightingale based on the sound.
After one program after another, it seems that we have arrived at the "Magic Lecture Hall" that everyone doesn't quite understand but is full of interest in.
"Listeners, I will now explain to you how to prevent superficial hypnotic spells... zzzzzz..." Before the magnetic male voice finished speaking, a slightly harsh and sharp sound came from the speaker, and then
, the sharp sound disappeared and turned into a noisy electric sound, but everything quickly returned to normal, except that the low magnetic male voice changed back to the sweet and moving but exciting and trembling voice of "Nightingale":
"Dear listeners, dear listeners, this is the 'Voice of Mystery', and now we are inserting a piece of news..."
"What's going on?" The audience looked at each other in confusion. They had experienced temporary signal interruptions before, but they had never recovered so quickly. Moreover, the program had been changed!
News break?
This was something they had never experienced before, so they couldn't react at the moment.
In aristocratic villas, in civilian buildings, and in various schools, the listeners listening to the "Voice of Mystery" all had similar expressions. They didn't understand what was going on. There was such a strange news interruption.
form.
…………
In the "Atomic Research Institute", Leylia, who teleported the students up, told Heidi, Annick and others about the phenomenon of "two suns appearing in the sky", so they decided to pay the teleportation fee themselves and return to the ground early.
I want to know what happened as soon as possible.
This is not only curiosity, but also a hope to be prepared for various adverse situations in the shortest time. After all, if you stay in the universe, if something goes wrong on the ground, you may not be able to return. When the energy is used up, you will be a "floating corpse in space"
" ended. For similar reasons, those who had not yet started a family did not leave the Arlinge Magic Tower, but applied for a night-time use laboratory.
"Heidi, have you discovered a new particle?" The phenomenon of two suns had been discussed for a whole afternoon and dinner, so Leylia couldn't help but change the topic and asked about Heidi's discovery.
Seeing the curious eyes of Leylia, Ophelia and other friends, Heidi smiled with satisfaction: "After repeated confirmation, it is a new particle different from the already discovered particles, with a mass of about 200 times that of electrons."
Multiple times, and very quickly.”
"A new kind of particle. Doesn't the number of basic particles conform to the 'simple' 'principle'?" The more essential things are, the simpler they are. This is a philosophical point of view that many arcanists believe. Just like the ubiquitous magical "symmetry"
Same, so Rock took off his black top hat and flicked it while there was not much dust on it, and said doubtfully.
"At present, we can only respect the experimental results. Maybe elementary particles are not fundamental?" Heidi said, imitating Lucien's famous saying "A vacuum is not empty." Then she looked at the wall clock on the wall of the laboratory and cheered, "'Mystery
The Voice' has begun!"
She seems to prefer "Mysterious Voice" to "World Reality Channel".
Rock said with some emotion: "It's possible. By the way, has the discovery of new particles brought you 'real world' feedback?"
"It's very generous." Heidi, who always did not hide anything, replied with a bright smile.
"Haha, Heidi, haven't you been complaining about not getting the Holm Crown Prize and other awards? This discovery of new particles should make your wish come true." Katrina was happy for her friend.
Heidi shook her head and said not looking forward to it: "It should be impossible to discover new particles, unless they are very important new particles, such as those predicted by Mr. Hathaway, or introduce a 'new method' to discover new particles. I
Let’s just wait for the breakthrough of artificial intelligence.”
"Isn't it the kind predicted by Mr. Hathaway?" Annick, Katrina and others were quite surprised. Judging from the properties measured so far, the new particles are very similar to the kind of "meson" predicted by Mr. Hathaway.
.
Heidi curled her lips: "We have to test whether it participates in the strong interaction to know. For now, we can only acquiesce that it is not."
Watching her companions pick up the highest awards in different fields one by one, how could she not have any thoughts and desires in her heart? However, this will not hinder her from making rational judgments for the time being, because she is becoming more and more confident in the prospects of artificial intelligence.
Sooner or later, I will get some top award for this, even the Evans Arcane Award.
During the discussion, they suddenly heard a chirping sound coming from the magic radio, which attracted their attention.
"Dear listeners, dear listeners, this is the 'Voice of Mystery', and now we are inserting a piece of news..."
After the nightingale's voice sounded, the expressions of Heidi and others immediately became solemn. If there is anything worthy of such an interruption, it is obviously the strange situation of two suns appearing during the day!
For a moment, the Atomic Research Institute was extremely quiet, with only the sweet voice coming from the magic radio:
"According to the announcement just issued by the Supreme Council of Parliament, at 11:37 this morning, Rentat time, His Excellency Lucien Evans, the great arcanist, legendary magician, and member of the Supreme Council, 'Atomic Control', was at
The sun was discovered in the standard cosmic coordinates... position, confirming the existence of the planet, causing unprecedented 'real world' feedback and causing the abnormality of two suns in the sky."
"Please don't panic if you have witnessed this abnormality. This is not the end of the world. On the contrary, it marks the most solid step that our intelligent creatures have taken in the exploration of the universe. We will no longer be confused by the existence of the planet.
Troubled.”
"Although His Excellency Evans's own gains must be very rich, it is far less important than the significance of his discovery to all of our intelligent life, and it is not as important as the planet's proven role for all arcanists. This is Evans
A small step for you is a giant step for all of our intelligent life, and a monument to our exploration of the world and the universe..."
The news was full of praise, but Heidi and others didn't feel it was exaggerated at all, even if their teacher hadn't discovered it. If it had been any legendary magician, they would have sincerely expressed their congratulations.
I was so excited that I was trembling all over. If you have not studied arcana in depth or read the history of the Magic Council, you will never understand how important this discovery is to the arcane masters and how much significance it contains.
"Finally the sun has been discovered. It has been hidden for a long time..." Ophelia sighed in a soft voice. This long time made some arcanists suspect that this is not a real world and that this is an "experiment" of a powerful god.
place".
Heidi, Annick and others subconsciously looked out the window. The night outside was dark, with only the light of street lamps shining up from below. But in their eyes, the darkness disappeared without a trace. The clear light illuminated the whole world.
.
The "deep darkness" that has shrouded magic since the ancient magic empire was dispelled by the "sun" at this moment!
Heidi stood up excitedly, as if she wanted to do something, but in the end she stopped with some scruples.
"Heidi, what do you want to do?" Leylia restrained her trembling and asked strangely.
Heidi raised her arms: "I want to cheer, I want to shoot a big fireball into the sky. The sound of the explosion is the horn of our victory!"
"I want to, too." Splinter, who has always been unruly, obviously likes this idea, but Arlinge has strict management regulations.
Annick, who was relatively calm, looked at Heidi and others, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. If Alinge didn't have so many management regulations, maybe there would already be fireballs shooting into the sky, and the sound of explosions would be heard all over the sky.
Flames are flying - when magicians are excited, they always like to use various violent means to express their joy, and their best skill is undoubtedly spells.
"What a spectacular scene that would be..."
…………
In the square, in the villa, in the building, in the school, as the "Nightingale" was broadcast, one by one the listeners were stunned.
Since the magicians have never been able to find the planet and cannot prove that their celestial body movement system and gravity theory are correct, the church has been criticizing them in this regard. Some people claim that their blasphemy caused the Lord to cover the starry sky and prevent them from seeing the world.
Some people ridiculed their arcane research as a building with no foundation at all and could collapse at any time. Anyone who follows the Magic Council and worships the arcane is an idiot without the ability to discern.
Although Arcane proved himself right step by step and won the support of most people in the four Straits countries and the coastal corridor of Northland, making them full of curiosity and awe of Arcana, the "stars in the sky" were not discovered for a day. Listening to the church
People who grow up in theory will always have reservations in their hearts.
When the Southern Church was expelled, the people who recognized the rule of the Magic Council began to act like arcanists, eager to find the planet to prove that this was not a punishment from the Lord and that their betrayal was not blasphemy.
And now, this good news hit their hearts suddenly, making them feel like they were falling into a dream.
"Long live!"
A shout broke the silence, and a gentleman who looked quite elegant excitedly took off his black top hat and threw it into the sky vigorously, as if this was not enough to vent his inner excitement.
As the silence was broken, cheers erupted like a tsunami, and the people, influenced by the first gentleman, took off their hats and threw them into the sky.
Wearing hats is the trend in Rentat, so the sky is filled with hats, including black top hats, round hats, everyday soft hats, wide-brimmed hats with beautiful ribbons and tassels, and inlaid feathers.
There are light bonnets with flowers and hazy gauze hats with veils...
"Long live!"
Looking at the hats being thrown up and hearing the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, a reporter from Rentat Weekly subconsciously wrote: "Maybe after today, the kingdom will have another custom of throwing hats to express celebration.
