Chapter 164: Understatement

Tantai Styx glanced at Wu Weibei lightly, looking at his green face full of confusion, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, he didn't disdain, but was more vigilant. At the same time, I wondered why Sister Mingxue would propose to let this obviously problematic classmate go all the way after learning about the situation.

After seeing Wu Weibei get the special ticket from the person in charge of the station, Styx withdrew his sharper and sharper gaze, and after the corner of his eye skimmed and motioned for him to follow, he walked straight to the luxurious waiting room.

Walking to the luxurious waiting room, Wu Weibei was not surprised to find Shenxue sitting there waiting for the ticket check-in, and said timidly: "Thank you, classmate Mingxue." ”

"We are all classmates, and it is right to help each other." A smile appeared in Yutai Mingxue's eyes, she seemed to have found the roots of this classmate, but if this was the case, this Wu Weibei was no problem, but they were too cautious!

Compared with the last time, this time it can be said that the road was calm, and they arrived in the third district smoothly, and after separating from Wu Weibei at the station, the brothers and sisters took the magnetic rail tram back to their villa in the third district.

"Sister Xue, school will start in two days, followed by the seven college essay competitions held by the Magicians Association."

"Yes! I know. ”

"The essay competition is relatively inconspicuous, and the general public's attention is focused on the seven-school battle, and the number of participants and spectators is much different. The seven-school competition was contested by a large team of nearly 100 players, while the essay competition was contested by a team of only five people. ”

"There were only five people in attendance!" The sigh of the snow looked a little excited. These two people obviously talked about the same topic, but their expressions were very different.

The snow is an attitude that covers my ears and steals the bell and has nothing to do with me. There is a breathless tone to deal with the Styx River that is full of interest and wants to instigate the participation of the Styx. Although the essay competition is much worse than the seven-school competition, it is also a large-scale competition between colleges and universities.

But the Yutai Styx, who has passed the level in terms of human sophistication, easily captured the unswerving and slightly frightened expression on Styx's face, and it seemed that it was impossible for Sister Styx to participate.

"Would you like to eat something?" The Styx used a tried-and-true trick to divert the attention of the Styx.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school for the third high school. Shentai Mingxue directly handed over the task of patrolling the Discipline Committee to Styx and Shao Linan's injury, and she came to the office of the student union in a hurry.

Nan Yuhan and Shen Yuehua, who are unfamiliar with the school system, are dealing with documents and the work of the student council, while Shangguan Haohui and Zhongli Baiyi are using the internal database of No. 3 High School, which is used within the student union, to enter the list of students who register for the new semester.

"Busy?" Shenxue used his identity card to enter the student union directly, watching their fingers fly on the virtual keyboard, and for some reason the two did not use the brainwave-assisted device.

"If you're idle, why don't you help?" Shangguan Haohui stared intently at the virtual display, and said without looking back. Of course, he didn't expect Shentai Mingxue to really come over to help.

"Huh? How can it be! With a question and an affirmative answer, I couldn't help but make people even more angry, and I sat down at the student union meeting table like a cloud. I'm just here to ask you what you plan to do with the essay contest at the seven schools! ”

Shangguan Haohui stopped the movements of his subordinates, stood up and patted Zhongli Baiyi on the shoulder, and the two walked to the opposite side of the Shenxue and sat down. Although he knew that something must be wrong with her when he entered the student union, he thought that he would be long-winded for a while.

"Unlike the Seven School Battles, the Essay Contest is held in the first and second districts where the two towers of the Wizards Guild are located alternately, but this year it is held in the second district with the Purple Tower. I consulted Yuhan and Yuehua, who live in District 2, for their opinions. In addition to the previous procedures......"

"Oh? Yuhan and Yuehua! Shenxue interrupted Shangguan Haohui's introduction with an accent of a question sentence in an elongated voice, with a hidden mystery and snickering expression on his face. Sure enough, when she returned to the third high school, Shangguan Haohui's "love history" alone was enough for her to pass the time and maintain a good mood.

Zhongli Baiyi, who grew up together since childhood, sensitively noticed Shangguan Haohui's suppressed mood and inserted into it, "Classmate Mingxue, I don't know if you are interested in joining our research group?" ”

"Huh?"

Faced with the disbelief of the Shenxue, Zhongli Baiyi didn't give her time to react. Straight to throw out a whole bunch of terms!

"Do you know the famous [miniature black hole fabrication and evaporation experiment based on multi-dimensional theory] in the academic world?" Zhongli Baiyi's originally clear voice became low and tense when he was excited.

It seems that Shenxue didn't find out what this experiment had to do with her? It was even related to making people feel that she had to know, tilting her head and pushing her glasses. Make a brief inquiry, "What's that?" ”

"To put it simply, this experiment is to artificially create a very small black hole and extract energy from it. This is because it is expected that the mass of the black hole will be converted into heat energy during the evaporation process. This experiment should be to confirm this. ”

Yutai Mingxue listened to Zhongli Baiyi's explanation with awe, but the "mass into energy" slightly disturbed her heartbeat.

"This is multi-dimensional theory? Extracting energy from another dimension? Shentai Mingxue's eyes lit up, she was able to understand such an academic question as the Seven Schools Battle Essay Competition, could she finally get rid of the hat of illiteracy?

"No, the process of extracting energy itself has nothing to do with multi-dimensional theory. Because it has long been expected that the miniature black hole will definitely evaporate, unaffected by the formation process. ”

Just as Shen Yuehua silently served everyone a glass of water, Zhongli Baiyi took a sip to relieve the throat interference caused by excitement and excessive talking, "The multidimensional theory is to assume that this world is like a three-dimensional space film enclosed in the high-dimensional world, and only gravity can pass through the dimensional wall among the physical forces, in other words, gravity is mostly leaked to other dimensions, so in this dimension, only gravity much smaller than the original can be observed. ”

The beads of sweat on Yutai Mingxue's forehead showed signs of getting denser and denser, and she knew that the magic of the Zhongli family was gravity magic. But the others are confused and don't understand at all......

"At extremely short distances on the scale of elementary particles, gravity acts between objects in this dimension before it has yet to leak out to other dimensions. The intensity that causes objects to attract will be much greater than what is observed on a typical scale. Therefore, compared to the situation of ignoring the multidimensional theory, black holes can be generated with a small amount of energy that is beyond common sense, which is the theoretical foundation of the micro-black hole making experiment based on the multidimensional theory......"

"Shangguan, do you understand?" Shentai Mingxue stared at Shangguan Haohui, who calmly took a sip of water, with eyes of help and prayer.

"Unfortunately, I don't quite understand." Shangguan Haohui smiled bitterly and shook his head in response.

"Then I'll be relieved." Shentai Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and smoothed the unstable breath in her chest with her hand, but suddenly remembered the implicit meaning in Zhongli Baiyi's words, and asked with some hesitation. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Whether it's a dimension or a different dimension, it's the theoretical basis of space magic, right?" Zhongli Baiyi looked at the Shenxue with an incredible look.

"Huh? Is that so? Yutai Mingxue looked at Shangguan Haohui in a panic for a reassuring answer.

Shangguan Haohui raised his forehead and sighed, "Zhongli." What you are talking about is just an academic study of the scientific explanation of [Space Magic], if it really makes sense, then the Zhongli family inherited by gravity magic should also be able to use space magic! ”

"But magic is bound by the law of conservation of energy."

"This is the first paradox of magic."

"The law of conservation of energy may seem flawed, but it is a fixed law. There can be no phenomenon that violates this law. At a very small scale of time applicable to quantum theory. It may be possible to violate the law of conservation of energy, but in the end, it can be confirmed that the energy budget can always be even. Since magic also causes physical results, at least the law of conservation of energy should hold true in this range. The law of conservation of energy means that the total amount of energy in a closed system is always fixed. Since a change in the total amount of energy is observed, it means that the observation is inaccurate, or the system is not closed. ”

"The magic formula contains an activation program, and no trace of physical energy supply has been observed, indicating that magic has non-physical properties."

"Stop!" Yutai Mingxue interrupts the argument between the two that she constantly doesn't understand. But she knew what they were arguing about. In the 21st century, it means that natural phenomena can be explained by science. What science can't explain is superstition.

It's just that in "this" future world, magic has become a real thing, and scientists have understood and used them based on the common sense of science in the past, which has evolved into the current social form in which science and magic go hand in hand.

But there are still some "things" that cannot be explained by science, or that can be explained but cannot be proven, and can only be concluded with "paradoxes" or "insufficient arguments".

"Let's talk about the procedural issues of the essay competition, I need to go back and arrange it!" Yuki tries to turn the conversation back to normal.

"The gravity acting on other dimensions may be used to support the dimensional wall. Space magic is based on the premise of not destroying this wall, and extracts energy from another dimension. If a miniature black hole is generated with the energy calculated by multidimensional theory, the gravity generated by crossing the dimensional wall will be consumed in the black hole generation program. In this way, the moment the black hole is formed, it may shake the dimensional wall. ”

"Zhongli-san?" Yutai Mingxue is ready to smash the table!

"I'm explaining to you the content of the essay in the seventh school essay competition, the third high school, the name is [The effect of gravity magic crossing the wall of dimensions on magic. Zhongli Baiyi had an unteachable expression.

Shentai is angry, can't be a happy partner?

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other." Shenxue put on a posture that I won't tell you.

"What do you mean?" This time it's Zhongli Baiyi's turn to be confused!

"Okay, let's talk about the essay competition." Shangguan Haohui is really defeated, and if he continues to grind like this, time is gone! "Zhongli still has to write a paper, and Stygian Xue still has to arrange the guards, and the time is very tight!"

"Understood!"

Shangguan Haohui, who saw the two of them subdued, motioned to Shen Yuehua to send the essay contest instructions sent by the Magicians Association to everyone.

"The thesis and the preparation of the stage report are the cooperation of three people, one person is the main writer and the other two are assisted, and the main writer of this school is Zhongli Baiyi." Shangguan Haohui: This can be regarded as a conclusion to the academic introduction of Zhongli Baiyi Chase just now.

"Oh? Did you write in the first grade? Shentai Mingxue opened her eyes slightly and let out a heartfelt sigh, and there was no doubt in her words, nor did she express dissatisfaction with Zhongli Baiyi's conversation just now.

"Zhongli is not only the top of our academic year's theoretical list, but also won the first place in the paper published on behalf of the Federation after being invited to participate in the release of the Three Kingdoms Joint Magic Research two years ago, and he is also the youngest researcher to participate."

Shentai Mingxue didn't know how to complain about Shangguan Haohui's expression of "Youyou Rongyan", so she could only change the topic bluntly, "And then?" ”

"The essay contest is a place for high school students to present their research results in magic or magical engineering. It is for high school students to present their own magical research results. Once the results are recognized by the Wizards' Association, the representatives of the thesis teams of each school will receive offers from various magical research institutions, and the published papers may be directly included in the Encyclopedia of Magic, or used by universities and companies. ”

Shentai Mingxue looked at the special instructions issued by the Magician Association in her hand, and listened carefully to the matters related to her in Shangguan Haohui's explanation. “

"Only students recommended by the federal magic high schools or teams of high school students who have passed the preliminary examination of the thesis are eligible to participate, and theoretically only one team from a high school can participate in the competition, and so far no student has been selected to report on the stage without being recommended. As a result, even though the rules of the Wizards' Guild state that participation is free, it is still called the Seven Magical High School Essay Competition. ”

Hearing this, Shenxue couldn't help but interject and ask: "Is there no team that was selected to report on stage without being recommended by the school?" ”

"I think for the average high school student, it is more difficult to complete a thesis that can report for 30 minutes than to participate in the martial arts battle of the Seven Schools." Zhongli Baiyi's answer made the face of Shentai Mingxue, who was an "ordinary high school student", darken, and even began to consider the possibility of beating people with a sack!

"It is precisely for this that the joint assistance of the Student Union, the Federation of Ministerial and Youth League Activities and the Discipline Committee is needed." Shangguan Haohui once again interrupted the conversation between the two that seemed to smell of gunpowder, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "There is one more thing I want to tell you about Classmate Mingxue." ”

"What's the matter?" It stands to reason that Shangguan Haohui does not need to report to Shentai Mingxue what decision he makes. (To be continued.) )
